Knowledge / Why does hydrogen peroxide foam when you put it on a cut?« on: May 15, 2010, 09:45:38 PM »
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is something you can buy at the drug store. What you are buying is a 3-percent solution, meaning the bottle contains 97-percent water and 3-percent hydrogen peroxide. Most people use it as an antiseptic. It turns out that it is not very good as an antiseptic, but it is not bad for washing cuts and scrapes and the foaming looks cool.
The reason why it foams is because blood and cells contain an enzyme called catalase. Since a cut or scrape contains both blood and damaged cells, there is lots of catalase floating around. When the catalase comes in contact with hydrogen peroxide, it turns the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water (H2O) and oxygen gas (O2). 2H2O2 --> 2H2O + O2 Catalase does this extremely efficiently -- up to 200,000 reactions per second. The bubbles you see in the foam are pure oxygen bubbles being created by the catalase. Try putting a little hydrogen peroxide on a cut potato and it will do the same thing for the same reason -- catalase in the damaged potato cells reacts with the hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide does not foam in the bottle or on your skin because there is no catalase to help the reaction to occur. Hydrogen peroxide is stable at room temperature 468
Knowledge / Is a Brain Cell is the Same as the Universe?« on: May 15, 2010, 09:39:11 PM »Physicists discover that the structure of a brain cell is the same as the entire universe. Mark Miller, a doctoral student at Brandeis University, is researching how particular types of neurons in the brain are connected to one another. By staining thin slices of mouse's brain, he can identify the connections visually.The image above shows three neuron cells on the left ( two red and one yellow) and their connections. An international group of astrophysicists used a computer stimulation last year to recreate how the universe grew and evolved. The stimulation image above is a snapshot of the present universe that features a large cluster of galaxies (bright yellow) surrounded by thousands of stars glaxies and dark matter. 469

News Khabran / Japanese government blocks a ban on child pornography.« on: May 14, 2010, 11:12:39 PM »
The ruling Democratic Party of Japan has refused to support legislation that would outlaw the possession of child pornography on the grounds that it would infringe individuals' freedom of expression – although there has been a stepped-up police campaign against people that sell sexual images of children.
Twenty people were arrested this week for posting child pornography on a mobile phone web site that was set up by a 17-year-old high school student, while Japan was shocked earlier this year at the arrest of a mother who took indecent images of her infant son and sold them via the internet. The National Police Agency said it received 4,486 complaints from the public of child pornography on the internet in 2009 and a record 650 people were charged with offences related to child pornography. Campaigners believe that represents the tip of the iceberg. "We are urging all the political parties here to ban the possession of child pornography in the present session of parliament, but I am not at all optimistic that it will happen," said Keiji Goto, a lawyer and chairman of the Forum for Creating a Society That Does Not Tolerate Child Pornography. In 2009 the government submitted a bill to revise the law on child pornography but lost the general election in August before it could be enacted. The DPJ opposed the bill and instead called for the definition of child pornography to be narrowed down, while acquisition for money and multiple acquisitions would be made illegal. "We consider child pornography to be the worst of all evils and we find it hard to understand how images of naked children tied up with ropes can be considered acceptable," Goto said. "The only people who will be pleased at the failure to pass this legislation are paedophiles." 476
Pics / Re: Picture of Day« on: May 14, 2010, 10:09:38 PM »Many see this photo from 1985 as the beginning of what we nowadays call "media globalization", because Omayra Sanchez's agony was followed by television cameras from all over the world. Despite all the footage that was recorded by those tv cameras, it was this photograph, of a shocking reality and humanity, that went down in history as the first broadcast of the pain and death of a human being. Omayra Sanchez, 13 years old, was the victim of volcano Nevado del Ruiz's eruption in 1985, that devasted the Armero village, in Colombia. Omayra was trapped for three days under the mud, clay and water that was left from her own house. When the paramedics, with scarce resources, tried to help her, they sadly realized there was nothing they could do, since to remove her from the deadly trap they would have to amputate her legs and the lack of a speacilist on the scene would result in her death. According to the paramedics and the journalists that surrounded her, Omayra was strong until the last minute of her life. For the three days her agony lasted she thought only about going back to school, her studies and her friends. Photographer Frank Fournier took this photo of Omayra that travelled the world and generated a worldwide controversy about the indifference of the Colombian government before the victims of natural disasters such as this. The photograph was published months after the girl's death and Frank Fournier was awarded the 1986 World Press Photo Premier award for this picture. 477
You throw around words
like "hopeful" and "dreams" but I find myself doubting your certainty of their meaning Words full of such desire might only be realised by the down-trodden and brokenhearted the ones left alone, behind, or otherwise disenfranchised You will truly know hope when you feel there's none left and your dreams will become much more truthful after unending nightmares Just give it time. 478

Shayari / Ono no Komachi« on: May 14, 2010, 09:31:45 PM »
Very little is known about this Japanese poetess, and most of it is legendary. She lived around 850 C.E. (b. 834?) during the Heian period. The story about her is that she was a woman of unparallelled beauty in her youth and enjoyed the attention of many suitors. She was, however, haughty and cruel, breaking many hearts. She was punished by living to an old age and dying as a destitute and ugly hag in loneliness. The legend is almost certainly false, but the passionate nature of her loves survives (minus the didactic ending) to this day. In fact, the town of Ogachi in Akita prefecture celebrates an annual Komachi Festival on the second Sunday of June (legend has it that she was born in the village of Ono in Ogachi). There is a shrine dedicated to her. Enjoy some of excerpts from her poetry translated into english by different ppz. :happy:
On such a night as this When no moon lights your way to me, I wake, my passion blazing, My breast a fire raging, exploding flame While within me my heart chars. -*- The flowers withered Their color faded away While meaninglessly I spent my days in the world And the long rains were falling. -*- A thing which fades With no outward sign Is the flower Of the heart of man In this world! -*- Though I visit him Ceaselessly In my dreams, The sum of all those meetings Is less than a single waking glimpse. -*- In waking daylight, Then, oh then, it can be understood; But when I see you Shrinking from those hostile eyes Even in my dreams: that is misery itself. -*- In this bay There is no seaweed Doesn't he know it -- The fisherman who persists in coming Until his legs grow weary? -*- More heart-wrenching than To sear my body with live coals Against my flesh, Bidding farewell on Miyakoshima's shore As you part for the capital. -*- Did he appear, because I fell asleep thinking of him? If only I'd known I was dreaming I'd never have wakened. -*- The autumn night is long only in name -- We've done no more than gaze at each other and it's already dawn. -*- When longing for him
Tortures me beyond endurance, I reverse my robe -- Garb of night, black as leopard-flower berries -- And wear it inside out. |
