Primary And Foreign Keys Are Like A Parent - Child
a: Primary and foreign key ~
b: a Parent - Child relationship
What: "The basic rule of thumb is that Primary and Foreign keys are like a Parent - Child relationship. The Child stores the Parent's id. This way each Parent can have multiple Children. It can get a WHOLE lot more complicated, but this will give you a very good starting approach to most of your database solutions."

Very Old Dna, Very Old
a: Archea ~
b: reading an ancient Phoenician alphabet
What: "Analyzing DNA is rather like looking at ancient texts written in an alphabet, and reading the "alphabet" of Archaea is like reading an ancient Phoenician alphabet - simpler in many ways, with strong evidence that it was an older form of life. Archaea, as its name suggests, is very old - perhaps as old as the first bacteria, but certainly much older than even the simplest multi-celled organisms."

a: Amygdala ~
b: baby crying
What: "The amygdala is like the newly born baby crying. It's sending a blurred message. It's sending the only message it can because that's what it's hardwired to do. Instead of effectively managing the fight and flight response it's getting needlessly involved in thought-generated issues and sending the wrong signal and the body reacts accordingly to the stimuli."
