This is really bad reasoning. First, there is no evidence that people who work with spices get sick less often (sorry, a "poll" won't cut it). In fact, the anecdotal evidence seems to indicate that kitchen workers get sick quite a lot (I know some restaurant owners who keep extra staff because of the daily "call in sick" experiences they've had).

 

Second, you fail to draw a correlation between "rotting smells", use of spices and getting sick. I can't even begin to unravel that.

 

And third, trying to "reason this out" by assuming spices in general burn diseases is bad logic, bad science and bad gastronomy. Spices, blended correctly, aid in flavor and digestion, but they don't actually "burn" anything. The sensation you get from capsaicin is because of the molecule's ability to slip through cell membranes to bind with receptors, not because it "burns" the cells in any way.

OK smarty pants, look at it this way, salt is a spice. It absorbs liquids. Inside the liquids lie the diseases. The body makes more clean blood then to the amount of the blood capacity, so drink lots of liquids.

anyone who tinks that bunging a few spices into a shot glass make the 'best' medicine:

 

1/ doesn't understand what a medicine is.

 

2/ isn't qualified to comment on it.

Ok daddio, do bees ever get diseases? Do botanists or the people that work with flowers get sick?

Take a look at a restaurant. Take a poll. See how often people that work with spices in the kitchen get sick? Very few, and that is because they work with meats that carry rotting smells as soon as the blood stops circulating.

So, you can reason this out as being that burning cells burns diseases too. The cells grow back, so you will feel sick for a while.

And? Do you agree? I would like you to. You have a lot fo influence being such a prolific poster! Poster... erm... yeah!

My next post - fifity one - wil be in there!

How about a sexual favour to get in?

Yes, I think it rox!

Dear All,

 

I am a slightly anxious person and can never withstand a certain diversion in interview processes.My dilemma is as following:

 

2 months ago I applied for a PhD (for a research project in an university with industrial collaboration and confidentiality) in Belgium ad after the tough process of PhD proposal, selection and interview with my professor I was selected by him last Sunday. But he mentioned a 'BUT' in the selection mentioning he needs the approval of my candidature from the company's CEO.

 

This clause was not mentioned in the interview selection process initially. However I understand this legality as it is a confidential project of the company. However, since the mention of 'BUT' by the professor I have not heard from him and am getting anxious. Also, when I asked him if I could carry on with the formalities to get my visa, he asked me to wait.

 

I am getting nervous as if whether the company's CEO can reject my candidature. Usually I have heard from the professor whenever he has promised to deliver the news at the exact time but somehow he did not meet his schedule this time. Hence I am extremely nervous.

 

Could someone tell me what are the chances of being refused by the company after such an arduous and hard work in getting selected by the professor?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

With regards

You should send him references from the people that gradede your project. If you were to impress them with the references, being that you 'free styled' the project, then you would be in good stead with the boss as they will vouch for you.

Or, you could contact them yourself. If you took a trip down to the office then you could nose in on everyone else's role there and make it clear that you are compatible with the business.

You can make a lab in your home by taking shot glasses or very small glases that nobody drinks out of for containers. To get all the ingredients, well, experiment with the spices, oils and left over foods that lie around. They all react, imagine the medicines you could make with spices?

Spices make the best medicine because they burn things like cells. If you were to experiment with a blood sample and take some tupperware containers - not as good but good enough - you could treat the infected blood, that nobody has anything better to do with, and add things to it.

If you were to go to class and experiment there, you would be able to see if things work or not, and how adding spices from your kitchen affects the diseases. Chicken soup for a cold? Think harder... um...

Oil spills can be cleaned up by taking a sieve through the waters where the oils are and then collecting the oil rather quickly.

Or, we could produce acids en masse and throw that into the water.

Or, we could wait for the oil to go to the bottom of the oceans. Won't take long.

Or we could start a chemical fire in those areas and watch it eveporate!

It will end the earth and life as we know it, but it will transform all of it's energy into light, sound and whatever else...heat..radiation, etc..

 

Again transformation of energy, not ending the energy system..

 

Many religions, and cultures have believed in re-incarnation, or ascendancy in some form..they can't all be wrong can they?

 

But to quote one of my favorite bands:

 

"The universe is hostile

so impersonal

devour to survive

so it is

so it's always been

 

This body holding me

reminds me of my own mortality

embrace this moment remember

we are eternal, all this pain is an illusion"

Yes the earth will 'die' when the sun sux us in - burns out. We are on our way in already, slowly though.

I would love to see a paper by a scientist that dealt specifically with the energy involved in reusing nuclear waste. I mean, it seems like the characteristics of nuclear reactions would demand you use as much energy as was given off to get back to what you started with. I'm sure scientists have figured out ways around this, but I am just wondering to what extent that is true.

 

If we had to pump 75% of the energy we got from nuclear power plants into reusing the waste it wouldn't look so good. But again, I have never seen any actual numbers on this.

Well, if they use up all the wood in a camp fire they will not be able to burn it again will they? If you were to reuse nuclear waste, wait... what makes it nucleur waste? If you could use it again it wouldn't be waste, yes?

Hi, what is the name of the type of gel that they use to make gel soles for shoes and gel seat covers for bicycles?

 

How do you make that gel?

 

Where do I get the ingredients from?

 

How can I either make a mold or buy a mold to control the shape of the gel?

 

Thanks

You can make gel for shoes and bicycle seat covers by taking a trip to the garage. If you were to use some glue and mix it with petroleum you would have a great solution when the petrol and glue settle down. Simply apply it to your shoe or whatever. Oh yes!

"A 100mL solution containing 1M sodium acetate was made. The pH was than adjusted to 5.5. A similar solution containing NaCl was also made and treated similarly. Then 1mL of 1M NaOH was added to both solutions. Qualitatively (no numbers/calculations are necessary) explain what if any difference in the change in pH occurs between the two solutions. If the pH changes in the two solutions are different, explain why. For both solutions, explain (draw) what is happening to all of the chemical entities (e.g molecules) in the solution with the NaOH?"----Any help would be great!!

pH stands for potential for hydrogen ion concentration. The scale is used to measure acidity vs alkaline substances. It ranges from 0-14, with acidic compounds/ substances such as HCl having a pH close to zero, while alkaline compounds/substances such as bleach having a pH close to 14.

The chemicals are being dissolved by the cholrine in the test tubes, but, they are not becoming gasses, becuase theyare remaining liquids. The cholrine turns them into purer substnances, and makes them change colour to become more like a colourless liquid because they dissolve the pigment too.

What you will have left is acid who's strength depends on the amount of chlorine in it; acids and akalines.

what is the relation between the magnet we know [ N | W ]

 

and the inner core of the earth,

 

is it some kind of a special massive magnet,

 

or it works with different mechanism ..?

There is no magnet. Magnets would be metals charged with electrons, but, lo! Here unto is is delivered no charges. Yes yes!

Keep in mind I'm fairly new to how computer and internet stuff works . Here's a simple question in the form of a scenario.

 

Let's say you are playing StarCraft with a friend, who is hosting the game with his/her computer. Now let's say there's a two second delay between your computers. If you order a group of marines to move, how long does it take for you to see them start moving on your screen?

Both computers slow down. It is called communication. There is a server and a networking point. The server cannt process information not on it, it does not guess, it relays stuff around. You both are like held up like.

(Apologies for the slight loss in continuity here when we removed some gibberish. ajb's post up there makes a little less sense when the post it was responding to vanished...)

I don't understand. You understand. "Come let us reason together."

Merged post follows:

Nicely done the tree.

Yeah!

"Utilising your experience and knowledge of biochemistry/genetics/molecular biology, describe how you would go about designing a fire-breathing dragon?"

 

 

 

(One of the final exams for third year biochemistry is a 2 hour essay question that's meant to cover everything you've ever learnt on the degree course. We got the specimen paper for it today, this was one of the option questions. So we just spent a merry afternoon discussing how we would go about answering this question.)

 

I'll post what I came up with later.

Oh you really pushing buttons now! Before we see if we can, we should think if we should, yes?

To make a dragon you need crocodile dna. When you have that, after you take 'em out of action and drain his belly a bit, you will have your strand. Now the strand is making the crocodile small, so, you would need to take the blood and heat them up in a tube so that it will grow bigger, then the whole crocodile grows bigger, yes?

Next you would need to take the bigger cells and keep them that big. You can do this by freezing the size by exposure to Oxygen, as then you will, as magma is exposed to Oxygen, see that it will cool down and then become more firm in 'structure'. Then repeat process until you super sized the substance, and, well, it can get bigger and bigger.

Now you want to shape it before you make it bigger. To do this you need to take the crocodile dna and apply a feline or canine strand to it. This will result in a monsterou thing, so, keep all the reptilian cells but add the marrow of the canine or feline so that it has the more desirable bone structure.

Now you want to give it wings, and I suggest a bat because it has the same bone marrow as the mamalian type of creature, so they will gel. This could take a bit of stress release later, but, it will be worth it for the dragon, if that is what you want...

So we have our dragon, the pinnacle of human nightmares. But wait, let's make it breath fire too! What will make it breath fire? Well, if you were to take some glands that produce spasms in the muscles, then you will have propulsion for the fire, that it will travel as 'phlemn' through the air, forwards.

To make fire you need to tap the nervous system's energy and direct it outwards through the air. This will require a organ at the back of the throat to push it out, and the lungs will keep it going forwards quickly and with force. To ignite it you will need to make a 'super burp' sort of thing where there is the right gasses mixing with the right compounds, non metals of course. Things like poop are flammable, but you knew that!

There we have our dragon. Heaven help us.

Hi,

 

Quick question about the preparation of Zinc Chloride... I have been attempting to prepare a small batch of ZnCl2 using zinc cut up in small strips and some HCl (25ml of 32% HCl and 25ml distilled water) in a becher.

 

Zn + 2 HCl → ZnCl2 + H2

 

This is my first attempt at this and at first, the reaction was quite energetic, so I figured that when it would subside, the acid would be neutralized and the result would (mostly) a pure zinc chloride solution.

 

But 24 hours after the beginning of the process, a strip of ph paper indicates that the content is still strongly acidic, even though the remaining little pieces of zinc have stopped bubbling.

 

Should I gently heat the solution to complete the process and get the ph down?

 

Knowing that ZnCl2 is very hygroscopic, is there any way to keep it in solid form, even if a bit "wet"? Will a glass bottle with a teflon seal be enough to keep the moisture to a minimum?

 

Thanks in advance for your input

Why are you making this stuff? Idle hands are the devil's playthings! Lucky for you I got the answers you need.

If you take this mixture, and want it to become solid, just throw some liquid Nitrogen into it. The nitrogen will evaporate inside it and you will be left with a solid you will. No need for a formula, all you need to do is throw the stuffies together and then 'cool it off'. Even more accessible is ice blox!

Thank you for your help, but what I actually need is more of a step-by-step description of the reactions which produce Vaska's complex. Like, it undergoes ligand substitution, insertion, reductive elimination, etc. Any other suggestions?

Well, funny you should ask, let me suck my thumb some more to make mo answers without using old answers...

There is no substituion of the ligand thing, because then the cell would change into a ligand stuffs. Insertion doesn't help because if you insert some stuffies into it then it will change to be a compound that is not what it is, catch my drift?

reductive elimination occurs because living things go dead like! Beounos nachos, assif, awaad wa bikheyr lui', min faDlik...

Ok, so I read other posts on using epsom salt as an electrolyte, and copper electrodes with 9v to create copper sulfate. This method apparently worked for some people, but my water isn't blue, it's yellow. I tried to think of anything that's yellow, and came to sulfur. It's a really fine yellow powder suspended in the solution, and I'm not sure what it is. I'd sniff it, but that doesn't seem very wise. Any ideas? Thanks:-)

 

I just touched it, to see if any temperature change had occurred, and it feel slightly warm, compared to the copper/water mixture I have sitting next to it in an identical container.

{Making copper sulfate with the blood of the saints! Oh yes!]

Well, riddle me this then; what would happen if there was salt mixed with metal? You would make a organic and a metal 'mixture'. Salt relays energy and fluids and will settle on the dense metal, but, will not penetrate it unles the salt is boiled or melted, but, that would be the surface or outer layers of the salt that bond with the metal, affecting only the outer layer of the metal.

If you do this I will give you a thousand dollars! Unless you do do it, then I will say something else about riddles and concubines and that sort of thing!

"The major non-covalent forces related to the formation of protein structures are H-Bonds, ionic interactions(electrostatic interactions), and hydrophobic interactions(which are caused by things like Van der waals forces). Give (draw) examples of how the dipeptide (L-Asn-L-Leu) could participate in each one of those types of interactions with functional groups frequently found in proteins? Make it clear exactly what atom/group is interacting with what other atom/groups. Explain the interaction you have drawn and why they fit one of the three categories given? " --I know this is a mouthful but any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Protiens are formed by [hydrogen cells], [electric cells] and [water resisting cells]. That makes [water] + [energy] + [dense cells] making a protien.

The surrounding cell will absorb the [water], absorb the [energy] and have no reactions with the [water resisting] cells doing nothing to the dipeptide as they do not 'gel' at all.

Now, my diagram...

Okay, here we go. I'm familiar with Estes motors, and they have designations such as "C6-3", where the "C" represents total impulse (such as 10 N-sec), and the "6" represents the average thrust in Newtons (6 N).

 

From there (or the actual specs from the maker), compute (or obtain) the burn duration (such as 10 N-sec / 6 N = 1.67 sec). Then compute the velocity and altitude attained (v=aT and s=½aT², using a=F/m and T = time of powered flight) during the powered phase. Compute the force F to equal the average thrust minus the average weight of the rocket (use an average motor weight = initial motor weight + ½ of propellant weight) in order to obtain the resultant force that accelerates the rocket upward. (That is, if a 4 oz rocket has a thrust of only 4 oz, it simply hovers (ie, 4 oz - 4 oz = 0))

 

Then use the height from which to drop an object (in a vacuum) to attain this velocity, which represents the ballistic (unpowered) phase, where t = time of ballistic phase. This thinking is actually the ballistic phase in reverse: If a rocket attains 100 ft/sec upward at burnout, it will then travel a distance upward retarded by gravity which, if dropped downward through that same distance, would give it 100 ft/sec downward. I think I'm correct in this assumption.

 

s=½gt² and v=gt

 

then t=v/g and so t²=v²/g²

 

so s=½g(v²/g²) = ½v²/g = ½(aT)²/g = ½a²T²/g

 

and add this ballistic height to the powered height.

 

s = ½aT² + ½a²T²/g = ½aT²(1+a/g)

 

As you said, this will be a rough calculation. (I hope my work is correct.)

You could teach kids rocket thrust by telling them that fuel gets used up to create force. This force is also called thrust. The fuel makes the materials create an explosion that continues, usually a wood fire would make smoke, yes? If there is [combustion] you would have pressure forming and then carbon, physical or atomic [displacement] and you would have [propulsion].

Riddle me this then, why can't you say that the [displacement] where the rocket moves as much as it's [combustion] rate equalling a progressive [propulsion] rate?

If there is ten [combustion], and that makes five [propulsion], then should be a rate of two [displacement] for that fuel, if you are working with round numbers, and I can't see people working with little numbers for a sexy time...

So, I hope that clears that mess up! And that must be as good as it gets. Now repeat with me chilren; x [combustion] makes y [propulsion] makes z [displacement]...

how can i make hydrocloric acid

Recipe for making hydrocloric acid: Take some water, mix it with chlorine and add some bile.

"Draw an example of a functional group found in an enzyme that would act as a base. What part of the enzyme contains that functional group? Explain how/why it acts as a base?"-----Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated!!!

A enzyme is carbon based and therefore has electrons and neutrons. The electrons move around the neutrons carrying electrical energy. They together make up an atom. From there you get atomic bonding.

Now, to see whatt he base is, you need to say it is a nucleus, and I believe the nuclaic thingy will be your answer. Tada!

If this isn't a joke then I apologise for laughing my face off: the "hot" that is used to describe a spice is a different sort of hot that a fire produces. Fat cells aren't burnt by combustion any way - they're a chemical store of energy and the fat is broken down by chemical reactions involving enzymes.

 

 

Although as the previous post said there may be some merit to some spices, but I don't know anything about that.

Ok, so the spice is actually mineral based and absorbs water at least, and, will dissolve cells because it is organic. Your body goes into pain because it is sucking up all the water and buring the cells, and, they reduce. Water cleans out your system, so herbs will too. Um...

The 'extractionisms' will give off toxins - the stuff you smell - and toxins reduce fat and cell density because they are bacteria that needs to feed on organic stuffies, especially excesses. The toxins in the condiments will circulate in your blood and will keep eating stuff until they get flushed out, but salt, for example, makes you thirty, meaning there is direct physical interaction between the physical throat and the salt.

I know this site, it sells only fans and give a certain operating point.

 

maybe if i get a point for my fan (flowrate, pressure, power), and by using similarity i can get its chart at certain speed, but i need to know the equation for calculating the power consumed by the fan for a given required thrust.

The power required by the fan is equal to the applied energy for it to lift at a progressive rate. This means you need to wiegh the actual blade of the fan and then calculate the required energy to make it spin by applying kinetic energy caused by the engine, supplying you with horse power or something like that. But, the equation will be [horse power] divided into [mass] equals [rpm] required. [Power] needed is equal to [rpm] per volt, or, you need to get practical with it if information is lacking.
