my birthday today...

haaayyyy nako....

birthday ko ngayon!!! batiin mo naman ako... (sulat ka sa comment box ha... wala lang...)

ang weird ng araw na ito... ewan ko nga kung bakit eh...
papunta ako sa school kanina, pero dahil siguro inaantok at may kinakakgalit ako na servicemate ko, di na ako nagsalita ng kahit isang word... tapos hindi rin alam ng mga busmates ko na birthday ko pala ngayon...

pagdating ko sa school, alam ko na maraming kaklase ko na alam yung birthday ko... pero kinakabahan ako kasi baka magpalibre sila sa akin, eh wala naman akong pera eh...
pero okay lang, binati lang nila ako ng happy birhday...
ang saya-saya ko ngayong ara na ito...
so sa huli, nagpapasalamat lang ako sa Diyos na 15 years old na ako, at hindi pa niya ako kinukuha... hahaha....

What do you want? coke or water?

Would you rather have Coke ... or Water?

Nothing new here. Just a timely reminder.

Believable???

Very interesting!!!

WATER
#1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.

(Likely applies to half the world population)

#2. In 37% of Americans,

the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is mistaken for hunger.

#3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as low as 3%.

#4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs

for almost 100% of the dieters in a University of Washington study.

#5. Lack of water,

the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

#6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day

could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.

#7. A mere 2% drop in body water

can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math,

and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.

#8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily

decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%,

plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%,

and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.

Are you drinking the amount of water you should drink every day?

COKE
#1. In many states

the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the trunk

to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.

#2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke

and it will be gone in two days.

#3. To clean a toilet:

Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl

and let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean.

The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous China

#4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers:

Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminium

foil dipped in Coca-Cola.

#5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals:

Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.

#6. To loosen a rusted bolt:

Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

#7. To bake a moist ham:

Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan,

wrap the ham in aluminium foil, and bake.

Thirty minutes before ham is finished,

remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.

#8... To remove grease from clothes:

Empty a can of Coke into the load of greasy clothes,

add detergent, and run through a regular cycle.

The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains.

It will also clean road haze from your windshield.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION:

#1. the active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid.
It will dissolve a nail in about four days.

Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones

and is a major contributor to the rising increase of osteoporosis.

#2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup! (the concentrate)

the commercial trucks must use a hazardous material place cards

reserved for highly corrosive materials.

#3. The distributors of Coke

have been using it to clean engines of the trucks for about 20 years!




Now the question is, would you like a glass of water?

or Coke?

The diesel bacteria

Hindi ba napaka mahal na nang gasolina sa taong ito? may nadiscover ang mga scientists na pwedeng ipamalit sa gasolinang ito...

The Gas Bug

Fill your car with eco-friendly bacteria excrement

Bacteria + Sugarcane = Diesel: Hybrid Medical Animation/Photo Researchers; Getty Images; Don Mason/Corbis

E. coli has earned a nasty reputation for upsetting stomachs and killing people. But now scientists at LS9, a start-up in South San Francisco, are putting the bad bug to good use, genetically engineering it to excrete biodiesel. The fuel "burns just like diesel," says Greg Pal, the senior director at LS9 [see Breeding the Oil Bug, about the rise of microbial biofuels].

In September, LS9 made headlines with the launch of a pilot plant in its hometown that turns out hundreds of gallons of the biodiesel a week. The plant mixes modified E. coli with sugarcane in large vats of water. The microbes metabolize the sugars and excrete fatty acids that have the same hydrocarbon configuration as petroleum. Unlike other biodiesel setups, LS9's fuel is easy to collect -- it floats to the top of the water and is skimmed off like cream from milk -- and can go straight into your gas tank.

Making fuel from sugarcane uses fewer resources than corn, and biodiesel doesn't require the major infrastructure upgrades that ethanol and natural gas call for. A gallon of fuel from sugarcane-fed bacteria could cost $50 a barrel, Pal estimates, compared with the current $200 price tag for a barrel of conventional diesel. And LS9 says it can further drop costs by feeding the bacteria wood chips and other biowaste. Pal expects a large-scale plant to be up and running by 2011.

The Personal Tilt-Rotor

An ambitious aircraft concept combines the speed of a plane, the agility of a helicopter and the efficiency of a hybrid car

Imagine a car veering off a lonely mountain road and tumbling down the embankment. Minutes later, a sleek aircraft zooms in quietly at 230 miles an hour, tilts its wings and rotors up, hovers, and sets down just feet from the wreck. The pilot and a medic load the injured driver into the aircraft and zip back to a hospital at twice the speed of a conventional helicopter ambulance.

Simon Scott, the owner of Falx Air, an aviation company based in Staffordshire, England, wants to revolutionize not just medevacs but all personal air transportation. A former communications specialist in the British Army's Air Corps, Scott has been designing Falx Air's hybrid-electric vertical-takeoff-and-landing (VTOL) craft for the past eight years. He's currently bench-testing components in the hopes of getting a single-passenger prototype ready to be certified in January by the Civil Aviation Authority, Britain's equivalent of the FAA.

The key to his design is a hybrid system that doesn't rely on batteries to do most of the work. The engine powers two generators, which directly feed two electric motors on each wing. A battery pack stores leftover power from the generator but kicks in only to provide a power boost during takeoffs, landings and the transition to forward flying. It needs the huge burst of energy to get extra lift because the rotors on a VTOL have a smaller surface area than those on a traditional helicopter. "If you want to fly your aircraft for two hours, you cannot do that on batteries," Scott says. "That's the reason behind having the engine supply electricity continuously."

The hybrid system keeps the craft small and light, and therefore fast and agile. By eliminating heavy mechanical parts like jet engines and gear boxes, Scott hopes to keep the single-passenger version under 1,000 pounds. And because an engine that only has to power generators can be smaller than one that has to drive rotors, the vehicle uses less fuel too.

Scott is finished with the design; now he just has to find parts that can make it real. Falx Air is testing a 104-horsepower, two-stroke engine, but it isn't flight-certified yet. And although Scott is looking into lithium-iron-phosphate batteries, similar to one of the battery chemistries being tested for the Chevy Volt [see page 50], his challenge is greater because the aircraft needs a bigger jolt of power than a car does.

Given the state of the technology -- and the additional $5 million Scott still needs to build the prototype -- Falx's January timeline seems unlikely. But it's not the only team trying to build an electric whirlybird. Last fall, officials at NASA's Ames Research Center looked into the feasibility of producing electric helicopters by using fuel cells or lithium-polymer batteries. Inderjit Chopra, a professor of aerospace engineering at the University of Maryland who led the design study, found that an electric version of a two-man Robinson R-22 helicopter could theoretically fly for only 10 minutes before the batteries ran down."I would like to see a hybrid helicopter in the next 5 to 10 years," he says. And tilt-rotors? "They're a lot further off, because the takeoff energy is so high." Scott, who has sunk $500,000 of his own money into the project, is confident that his hybrid setup skirts his critics' concerns. "They can be skeptical," he says, "and we'll hover outside their window."

"What Filipino Bad qualities should we change to progress?" eto yung homework namin sa english na sinulta ko...

“Stop for one moment and Think”

“Mabuhay Filipinos!” this is what we will always hear in contests and competitions held in places outside our country. Sometimes, this phrase that we chant every time we compete helps us win, and other countries think that we are progressing internationally. However, if we go back to our country, and study its people and places, we will see that it is is not really progressing upwards, but crashing downwards. So how can we say that we are progressing if our fellow citizens are drinking sewage water and eating canned sardines and noodles? We are not progressing, but falling. If we go back and study our history, we will see that the Filipino people always blame the leaders who run our country, if there is an oil crisis or the peso-dollar fight is worthless, we will generate rallies and shout to the leaders that they are not doing their job, that they are only using the money of the people for their own benefit. But the answer why we are still like this is not because of our leaders but because of our own actions and our own bad qualities.
These “Bad Qualities” are the main reason why there are hundreds of houses built in illegal lands and why a large part of our people is experiencing hunger. Maybe the chief of these qualities, is the “Bahala na Mentality,” why? Because our people does not work and cooperate in order to at elevate our country, but they only follow the principle “Come what may.” This quality of the Filipinos originated from our ancestors and is still living today, we only wait on God in what He is going to do, and sometimes blame Him because of the bad happenings in our country. This is clearly wrong, because we should work and join forces in order to achieve what we want for our country, we should follow the old saying, “I shall do my best and God will take care of the rest.”

Another quality that brings us down is what we call, “The Crab Mentality.” This characteristic of the Filipinos is one of the most devastating one. For example, if one of our neighbors rises and progress, we Filipinos tend to pull them down instead of feeling happy for them. This is the reason why our own country is not rising, we our pulling ourselves when someone is going to a higher level than us, the result is that there is no net rise in our country, we are still in the same level as before.

There exist hundreds of bad qualities of the Filipinos that we should change in order to progress. But we just cannot see them, or we do not want to see them. We should stop for one moment and think, “Why are we still in this place? Why are we not moving forward? Is it because of me? Maybe it is my fault, maybe I am the reason why we are not progressing. If I really am the main cause of all our sufferings, I should change myself not blame it to others or to God”

emo for one time in my life

Wala akong mailagay na post eh.... so eto na lang yung ilalagay ko, emo pic ko... wala lang...

Saan

Isa pang poem ko rin...

Saan

Alam mo ba kung saan ka pupunta?

Kung mamatay, ay sinong makikita?

Mabuti ba ang iyong pinaniniwalaan?

O baka nama'y nagdadasal-dasalan?

Kung anong ganda ng langit,

ay may lugar naman na kay pangit.

Doo'y sobra ang init,

apoy ay parang naninipit.

Tao roon ay 'di payaso,

kundi demonyong may hawak na latigo.

Uod doon ay 'wag maliitin,

'pagkat ikaw ang kanilang pagkain.

Masarap bumili ng juice,

ngunit doo'y asupre ang umaagos.

Kahit merong sandaang electric fan,

walang silbi, dahil walang saksakan.

Ibang tao'y 'wag sisihin,

si Hesus lan ang sambahin.

Makinig sa aking sinabi,

dahil habang buhay kang magsisisi.

Halik

eto ng pala yung poem na ginawa ko para sa filipino namin....

Halik

Bakit parang malamig?

Ako ay nanginginig.

Idinilat ang mata,

at biglang napanganga.

Isang dalampasigan,

ang aking nasilayan.

Babaeng ang gaganda,

sa aki'y nagpasaya.

Kumaripas ng takbo,

sa tubig ay patungo.

Kumusta binibini?

Ang balat ay kay puti.

Puso'y tumibok-tibok,

sana ay 'di masuntok.

Ang dalaga'y ngumiti,

para bang kalapati.

Ako'y sabik na sabik,

matikman lang ang halik.

Ang labi ay sumipsip,

'to pala'y panaginip

Learning From the Dead

Turns out that a body reveals more details about its death than once thought

Learning From The Dead: Photo by Medi-Mation

View Photo Gallery

Whether it’s the blue, ragged fingernails of a heroin-overdose victim or the scaly skin of someone poisoned by arsenic, a corpse bears signs that unveil the secrets behind its life and death. Right now, 40,000 John and Jane Does wait in morgues. Although accident and murder victims are 15 to 30 times as likely to be autopsied as those who die of natural causes, even run-of-the-mill autopsies can yield important information on how a person died. This data has important implications for public health and safety and the legislation that governs those areas of interest. Autopsy findings have led to tougher military gear, fire-resistant clothing, crashworthy fuel systems and child-safe toys. They have also helped reveal how HIV, tuberculosis and West Nile virus are transmitted. Medical examiners are always looking for smarter, faster and more reliable ways to uncover the truth.

Here are five technologies that epitomize the old morgue maxim Mortui vivos docent: The dead teach the living.

Hair:

Tracking a person’s movements
Hair illustrates the route people took before they died by revealing what water they drank. In February, researchers from the University of Utah and scientific-analysis company IsoForensics reported that the isotope ratios of oxygen and hydrogen in hair can link a person to regional water sources—sometimes down to sections of a given American state. Scientists can also track a person’s travels over long periods: The tips of the hair show older destinations; the roots, more recent ones.

Teeth:

ID’ing a body
Dental recognition goes back to the Romans. Last November, scientists from Kanagawa Dental College in Japan presented software that works 95 percent faster than manual methods. Within minutes, it locates three image matches from a database of dental records, which a forensic dentist then analyzes.

Brain:

Finding time of death
Establishing time of death is a notoriously dicey part of forensics and is usually accurate only up to three days postmortem. Scientists at the University of Bern Institute of Forensic Medicine in Switzerland are applying magnetic-resonance spectroscopy to “read” decomposition in the brain, making it easier to determine the time of death even three weeks after it occurs.

Heart:

Explaining the inexplicable
Researchers at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota who study sudden, unexplained deaths in people under age 40 discovered last year that in up to a third of cases, postmortem genetic testing revealed that inherited heart-rhythm conditions contributed to death. These conditions, such as Long QT syndrome, go unnoticed by conventional autopsies. Finding them allows relatives to get tested themselves and seek out treatments.

Eyes:

Determining age
Carbon dating could help identify thousands of unknown bodies. All humans ingest small quantities of the carbon isotope carbon-14 through food. Most tissues constantly regenerate, but carbon-14 accumulates in teeth and the lenses of eyes. By analyzing the carbon-isotope ratios in lens tissue, researchers at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark have discovered that they can establish, to within 1.5 years, when someone was born—much better than the five years possible with commonly used methods.

Ghost Heart

Reanimating lifeless organs brings new hope for the millions on transplant waiting lists

Born to Beat: a rat heart fused with rat cells incubates in a bioreactor at the University of Minnesota: Photo by Courtesy Emily Jensen

In late 2005, cardiac researcher Doris Taylor revived the dead. She rinsed rat hearts with detergent until the cells washed away and all that remained was a skeleton of tissue translucent as wax paper—a ghost heart, as Taylor calls it. She injected the scaffold with fresh heart cells from newborn rats. Then she waited.

What she witnessed four days later, once the cells had a chance to make themselves at home, was astonishing. "We could see these little areas that were beginning to beat," says Taylor, director of the University of Minnesota's Center for Cardiovascular Repair. "By eight days, we could see the whole heart beating. The first time that happened, it was like ‘yes!' "

The experiment, which was reported this year in the journal Nature Medicine, marked a watershed moment: the first time scientists had created a functioning heart in the lab from biological tissue. For the 62 million people living with congestive heart failure, a condition in which the heart is no longer fit enough to pump blood through the body, drugs and heart-repair procedures frequently fall short; 60 percent of patients die within five years of diagnosis. A recellularized heart like Taylor's represents the first real hope for a cure—and she recently brought it one step closer to reality by devising a way to populate it with blood vessels. "There's a lot of smoke and mirrors in this field," says Todd McAllister, the CEO of Cytograft, a California-based tissue-engineering company. "Some people say they can grow a heart from scratch in 10 years, which is ridiculous. But Dr. Taylor's approach is more realistic because it's so simple and elegant. By using an existing heart, she's taken away all of the structural issues."

Taylor's system involves flushing animal hearts of cells using a cleanser, at which point only the extracellular matrix remains and "the hearts look almost clear," Taylor says. The next step is to infuse the hearts with a mix of mature and progenitor cardiac cells, which can come from a patient's own body to ensure compatibility. Incredibly, for reasons the team still doesn't understand, the cells seem to know how to divide and proliferate into cardiac tissue inside the empty-shell hearts.

This year, Taylor has continued to forge ahead toward her goal of creating transplantable, made-to-order human organs. Soon after she published her rat-heart results, she started working on making recellularized pig hearts—closer in size and shape to the human equivalent—that could pump blood and generate electrical impulses. "Our hope is that someday we'll be able to take a cadaver or pig organ, decellularize it, and transplant your own cells into the matrix to make an organ that matches your body," Taylor says.

Before a reliable human donor heart can be grown from a matrix, however, scientists must coax it to do more than just beat. "A heart isn't just a muscle. It also needs arteries and other tissues," explains cardiologist Robert Bonow of Northwestern University. "Doris Taylor has replaced the motor inside the chassis, so to speak, but she's got to find a way to get the other parts in there too."

She's working on it. Taylor's team has washed away the cells inside a rat aorta, for example, which is about the same size as a human coronary artery, and successfully seeded it with rat endothelial cells. The blood vessels grown in the lab are strong enough to withstand 19 pounds of pressure per square inch, a high enough performance threshold to make them viable in transplant hearts.

Taylor is focused on starting human clinical trials in the near future; she envisions a transplantable organ becoming available in "years, not decades." But she's also looking at the incredible number of other possible uses for her cell-seeding procedure. "The coolest thing is, it's not just about hearts—we could do this with kidneys, lungs and livers as well."

a filipino homework

pinagawa kami kasi ng teacher ko ng isang homework. sabi niya gumawa daw kami ng isang storya... eto yung ginawa namin... wala lang.. ang stupid niya pero maganda

“Ang Balde ng Tubig”

Hapon noon, at mainit pa ang kapaligiran, nang si Esteban, na isang magiting na mandirigma ay nakikipaglaban sa isang kulay bahaghari na dragon. Naglabanan sila ng humigit kumulang na anim na oras, hanggang sumapit ang gabi. Hindi niya na makita ang dragon dahil madilim, kaya hinabol siya nito at inangat siya sa ere. Niyugyog niya ito ng malakas. Ngumanga ang dragon at nagsalita, “Anak, anak, gumising ka na! Mahuhuli ka na!” Dumilat na ngayon si Eteban at nakita niya na niyuyugyog siya ng kanyang ina upang siya ay bumangon mula sa kama. Nainis si Esteban dahil pinutol ng kanyang ina ang maganda at Masaya niyang panaginip. Pinatayo siya ng ina niya mula sa higaan, ngunit dahil sa tinatamad at inaantok pa siya, hindi niya pinansin ang iniutos ng kanyang inay. Ngunit dahil sa nag-aalala ang ina sa kanyang anak, umalis ang ina upang maghanap ng paraan upang pilitin si Esteban ng bumangon sa kama. Nakita ni Esteban na umalis ang kanyang ina na para bang may binabalak na gawin sa kanya. Kinabahan si Esteban sa maaaring gawin sa kanya ng kanyang ina dahil sa kanyang pagsuway sa utos nito. Ngunit nanatili parin siyang nakahiga at takot na takot. Dahil sa inaantok siya, nakatulog si Esteban. Nakabalik uli si Esteban sa kanyang panaginip pero siya ay nasa kamay parin ng dragon. Si Esteban ay nagpumilit na kumawala ngunit dali-dali siyang binugahan ng dragon ng apoy at kumukulong asupre. “AAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!” ang sigaw ni Esteban na siguradong gising na gising at basang-basa pa.
