Birth Order

2009-09-19T20:51:00.000-07:00

A considerable body of research has demonstrated a correlation between birth order and aspects such as temperament and behavior, and psychologists believe that birth order significantly affects the development of personality. Psychologist Alfred Alder was a pioneer in the study of the relationship between birth order and personality. A key point in his research and in the hypothesis that he developed based on it was that it was not the actual numerical birth position that affected personality;instead, it was the similar responses in large number of families to children in specific birth order positions that had an affect. For example, first-borns, who have their parents to themselves initially and do not have to deal with siblings in the first part of their lives, tend to have their first socialization experiences with adults and therefore tend to find the process of peer socialization more difficult. In contrast, later-born children have to deal with siblings from the first moment of their lives and therefore to have stronger socialization skills.
Numerous studies since Alder's have been conducted on the effect of birth order and personality. These studies have tended to classify birth order types into four different categories: first-born, second-born and/or middle, last, and only child.
Studies have consistently shown that first-born children tend to exhibit similar positive and negative personality traits. First-borns have consistently been linked with academic achievement in various studies; in one study, the number of National Merit scholarship winners who are first-borns was found to be equal to the number of second- and third-borns combined. First borns have been found to be more responsible and assertive than those born in other birth-order positions. However, studies have shown that first-borns tend to be more subject to stress and were considered problem children more often than later-borns.
Second born and/or middle children demonstrate markedly different tendencies from first-borns. They tend to feel inferior to the older child or children because it is difficult for them to comprehend that their lower level of achievement is a function of age rather than ability, and they often try to succeed in areas other than those in which their older sibling or siblings excel. They tend to be more trusting, accepting, and focused on others than the more self-centered first-borns, and they tend to have a comparatively higher level of success in team sports than do first-borns or only children, who are more often excel in individual sports.
The last-born child is the one who tends to be the eternal baby of the family and thus often exhibits a strong sense of security. Last-borns collectively achieve the higest degree of social success and demonstrate the highest levels of self-esteem of all the birth-order positions. They often exhibit less competitiveness than older brothers and sisters and are more likely to take part in less competitive group games or in social organizations such as sororities and fraternities.
Only children tend to exhibit some of the main characteristics of first-borns and some of the characteristics of last-borns. Only children tend to exhibit the strong sense of security and self-esteem exhibit by last-borns while, like first-borns, they are more achievement oriented and more likely than middle- or last-borns to achieve academic success. However, only children tend to have the most problems establishing close relationships and exhibit a lower need for affiliation than other children.

"Comet" word firstly from Greece. Aster star with long hair. Comet is a Small Solar System Body that orbits the Sun.
There are 2 kinds of comet's tail, as a gas (straight) and as dust (curve). When the comet is near sun, comet is bigger and can reach Jupiter's size, the length is 150 million km. Tail's direction always get far from the sun. Before sun rise, comet's tail direction is to the west and after sun set, comet's tail direction is to the east.

Coffee as Antioxidant Source

2009-08-12T02:43:00.000-07:00

A cup of coffee that sometimes we drink in the morning not only make we our spirit on. Some research shown that coffee is a main source of antioxidant.
This research made peoples shock because many peoples only know the antioxidant source if from fruits and vegetables. That's right, but this research is the first that show that antioxidant can we get from coffee.
Don't worry if we can drink a hard coffee. This research also show that coffee without caffeine (decaf) has same amount of antioxidant. This is a good news to all peoples that loves coffee.
But, wee don't need to drink coffee as many as wee can. One cup a day already enough to give antioxidants.

Computer

2009-08-05T21:25:00.000-07:00

A computer is a machine that manipulates data according to a set of instructions.

Although mechanical examples of computers have existed through much of recorded human history, the first electronic computers were developed in the mid-20th century (1940–1945). These were the size of a large room, consuming as much power as several hundred modern personal computers (PCs). Modern computers based on integrated circuits are millions to billions of times more capable than the early machines, and occupy a fraction of the space. Simple computers are small enough to fit into a wristwatch, and can be powered by a watch battery. Personal computers in their various forms are icons of the Information Age and are what most people think of as "computers". The embedded computers found in many devices from MP3 players to fighter aircraft and from toys to industrial robots are however the most numerous.

The ability to store and execute lists of instructions called programs makes computers extremely versatile, distinguishing them from calculators. The Church–Turing thesis is a mathematical statement of this versatility: any computer with a certain minimum capability is, in principle, capable of performing the same tasks that any other computer can perform. Therefore computers ranging from a mobile phone to a supercomputer are all able to perform the same computational tasks, given enough time and storage capacity.

Race to Witch Mountain Synopsis

2009-08-03T17:02:00.000-07:00

Jack Bruno (Dwayne Johnson) is a cab driver in Las Vegas. One of his passengers is Dr. Alex Friedman (Carla Gugino), a failed scientist who is giving speeches about legitimate scientific theories of UFOs and outer space.

The next day, Bruno notices two children, Sara (AnnaSophia Robb) and Seth (Alexander Ludwig) sitting in the back seat of his cab. They tell him they need to go to a certain destination and are willing to pay all they have ($15,000, they removed from an ATM) to get there. They lead him to a house in the middle of nowhere. Meanwhile, Major Henry Burke (Ciaran Hinds) is searching for information on the two aliens that landed some days earlier.

When they arrive at the house, Bruno follows them out of concern and curiosity. There, the kids retrieve their objective, a device contained within alien flora.

When leaving, they are attacked by a "Siphon", a creature built to destroy a certain target. The Siphon pursues them, until its spaceship crashes into a train, the Diesel Locomotive is destroyed by an explosion in the railroad tunnel, and the creature is wounded. The trio eventually find themselves in a small town. The children explain to Bruno that they are aliens from a distant planet, who are sent to Earth by their parents because the government of their dying planet intends to attack and invade Earth so that their kind may live on there. They also explain that the object they obtained at the house contains the results of an experiment which their parents set up. The research from this experiment will save their planet without having to attack and invade Earth. However their planet's military prefer the idea of invading Earth and sent the Siphon assassin to stop them. They are next pursued by government agencies trying to retrieve the children for experiments.

They are joined by Dr. Friedman at the UFO Expo. With help of one of Dr. Friedman's friends, the kids discover that their crashed spaceship has been relocated to a government base at Witch Mountain. The group, now including Dr. Friedman, after evading the pursuing government agents, eventually arrive at Witch Mountain. There, the children are captured, along with Bruno and Friedman. Nevertheless, the two humans escape and come to rescue the kids. The Siphon causes a distraction by attacking the base, allowing the humans to free the children and reach their ship. They launch the ship, escape through the mountain's tunnels and defeat the Siphon who boarded the ship. Once safe, the kids drop the humans off, and during a tearful goodbye, give Bruno and Dr. Friedman a device that will allow the kids to always find them. Sara also gives Bruno the ability to read minds. The movie ends with the spaceship taking off and returning to their planet.

During the end credits, Bruno and Dr. Friedman (now a couple) are speaking at a UFO convention about their new successful book called "Race to Witch Mountain". As they are about to leave, the device the kids gave Bruno activates, indicating that they may be returning.

Code of Plastics

2009-08-03T07:22:00.001-07:00

Plastic is one of important things in our life. It's simple and easy-to-use, plastic is very often used as base source of some products. But, some plastics are dangerous. Does it mean, plastic is not safe to use? Not to worry about that, because there are some safe plastic.
Scientists in the world has made code to know the source of plastic makers. Those codes firstly released in 1988 by The Society of Plastic Industry in USA. To make the plastic users know the safety of things made from plastic. This code usually as number placed at the under of plastics shaped triangle.
To know is very easy. Triangle shows that the plastic is recycled product. Then number code on the triangle has relationship with the alphabet under it. These number and alphabet show the kind of plastic that used for that things. Until now, there are 7 codes on plastic that often used.

1 - PETE
This means this plastic made from polyethlyne terephthalate. This plastic contain 30% PETE. Usually, this kind of plastic is quite transparant. In general, this kind of plastic used for mineral water bottle, juice bottle, or plastic bottle. But, this kind of plastic may only used once! Not twice, or more. This kinds of plastic isn't good to keep hot food and hot drink. Because heat can cause polymer on bottle move to the food.

2 - HDPE
This kind of plastic made from high sensity polyethlylene(HDPE). The substances that made this plastic are safe because it have no reaction to the food. This plastic also stronger, and can survive with high temperature. And can used on white milk bottle, Tupperware, etc. But, this kind of plastic also may not used for many times. Because antimony trioxide will increase because of time and it's dangerous to our health.
3 - V
This is the short type to mention polyvinyl chloride (PVC) that contains di-2-etil-hexsiladiphate(DEHA) that has reaction to food. DEHA is easy react the food on 15 degrees Celcius. This plastics is dangerous and very difficult to recycled. Usually these plastics used as Cover Plastics. So don't use plastic with this code!
4 - LDPE
This code means this plastics were made from low density polyethylene, this made from petroleum. It's strong and flexible. On <60 degrees Celcius, very resistant to Chemistry compound. It has protection to water vapor, but not too good for another gases, like oxygen.
5 - PP
This plastics were made from polypropylene. In general found on transparant . This kind of plastic is stronger and lighter. So, this plastic is very safe for food. This plastic can survive on high temperature too.
6 - PS
This plastics were made from polystyrene (PS) or usually called polymeraromathic. When meet food, this plastics can cause styrene. We should not use this plastics because it's dangerous to brain's health and estrogen hormone on woman that cause reproduction problem and growth. So, it we find it, burn it!
7 - OTHERS
This means this plastics were made from another six components above. Example: Styrene Acrylonitrile (SAN), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), Polycarbonate (PC), and nylon. SAN usually found on food place like sport drink bottle, car spare part, housewife tools, computer, and so on.
ABS usually found on Lego Toy, and pipe. SAN and ABS has high resistance to Chemistry reaction and strong. But still safe. PC usually found on baby milk bottle, infant glass, polycarbonate drink bottle and tin that used to wrap food and formula milk tin. PC can destroy hormone system, chromosome, lower sperm production and change immune system.

Hair

2009-08-02T21:09:00.000-07:00

Hair is a protein filament that grows through the epidermis from follicles deep within the dermis. The fine, soft hair found on many nonhuman mammals is typically called fur; wool is the characteristically curly hair found on sheep and goats. Found exclusively in mammals, hair is one of the defining characteristics of the mammalian class. Although other non-mammals, especially insects, show filamentous outgrowths, these are not considered "hair" in the scientific sense. So-called "hairs" are also found on plants. The projections on arthropods such as insects and spiders are actually insect bristles, composed of a polysaccharide called chitin. There are varieties of cats, dogs, and mice bred to have little or no visible fur. In some species, hair is absent at certain stages of life. The main component of hair fiber is keratin.
Cross section of hair follicle

The hair can be divided into three parts length-wise, the bulb, a swelling at the base which originates from the dermis, the root, which is the hair lying beneath the skin surface, and the shaft, which is the hair above the skin surface. In cross-section, there are also three parts, the medulla, an area in the core which contains loose cells and airspaces the cortex, which contains densely packed keratin and the cuticle, which is a single layer of cells arranged like roof shingles.

Function of Human Skeletal System

2009-08-01T01:58:00.000-07:00

The Human Skeletal System constructed by 206 pieces of bones and few cartilages. When human was born there are more than 300 pieces of bones. Many of them join when the human grow. The function of skeletal system are:
1. Support
It holds us upright and provides a frame work for tissues and organs.
2. Protection
It protects important and soft organs. Heart and lungs are protected by the rib-
cage. The brain is protected by the skull.
3. Movement
Takes place when muscles move bone at joints.
