Sew that You Didn't Know to Learn

Did you know that you are possible to make insecticide with lemons?
You are this way, this is achieved with the help of an extracted liquid of the lemon (citrus limonium), an oleum of your fresh shell of pale or green xanthic, volatile yellow color, soluble in alcohol and not very soluble in the water.
This oleum is also used as perfuming and saborizante in the alimentary industry, cosmetics, products of clean-up and until in odorants.

Did you know that the blind" "hen is played for about 2000 years?
According to data that are had of this infantile popular game, this well-known game generally as the blind" "hen, you were played more than 2,000 years recently in old Greece.
You were known with similar names in different parts of Europe, for example, in Germany he/she was known as Blinderkuh (you vacate you blind), in Italy he/she called himself fly cieca (blind fly), and in Sweden Blindbock (blind horse).

Did you know that the music in the work improves the productivity?
You are not about any joke. A studio has endorsed this thesis that "the music in the work improves the productivity."
A realized studio recently for the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom suggests that to hear music in the offices can improve the productivity and the state of the workers' spirit, since it allows to manage the well-being in the daily life.

Wise that the contamination can damage your brain?
If you breathe the fume that you/they say goodbye to the files maybe during one hour you don't only suffer a headache.
A recent investigation assures that still a petty exhibition to the gases emanated by the fuel can affect the form like the brain works.
According to the studio published in the magazine Particle and Fibre Toxicology (Toxicology of Particles and Fibers), the fume of combustion of the diesel induces a stress response in the brain activity.
Previous investigations had determined that the petty particles (called nanopartículas) that we breathe in the polluted air can arrive to the brain.
However, this is the first time that are possible to demonstrate in a studio that the inhalation of pollutants can alter the brain activity.

Did you know that taking 2 up-to-date cerevezas can reduce the risk of Alzheimer?
According to the conclusions of a studio entered by the physicians of the Department of Nutrition, Bromatología and Toxicology of the University of Alcalá of Hayfields (UAH) María José González and Isabel Meseguer
The work, titled "The beer like dietetic font of silicon and your protective effect in front of the intoxication for aluminum: you influence on the absorption and the buildup of this neurotoxic" metal, you have been carried out with experimentation animals, concretely mice, and you are not still in phase of human experimentation, the physician has explained to Meseguer.

Did you know that the fiber of the foods is not digested in the human body?
You are this way the dietetic fiber it cannot be digested by the human organism. This fiber is a group of components that you encunentra in the foods of vegetable origin, such as cereals, fruits, vegetables and vegetables.
The one that the fiber cannot be digested is for that the organism doesn't count the enzymes that make this feature and they use it, however, although you cannot digest it directly, our intestine has the help of the bacterial flora that ferment the fiber and you decompose it in diverse elements: gases and fatty acids of short chain that exercise an important feature in our organism.

Did you know that the clepsydras are clocks of water that they were used in Egypt from 1400 AC?
You are this way, the clocks of water or clepsydras date of the Egyptian antiquity and they were used especially during the night, when the sundials lost your utility.
The first clocks of water consisted on a ceramic vessel that contained water until certain level, with a hole in the base of an appropriate size to assure the exit from the liquid to a certain speed and, therefore, at one time preset. The vessel prepared in your interior of different trademarks of such a luck that the level of water indicated the different periods, so much daily as nocturne.

Did you know that the vencejo common of Europe and can Asia last up to 3 years in the air?
You are this way, for that reason it is the bird that more time passes without stepping the earth. They can imagine up to 3 years without stepping the earth!.
Because well they are made to pass all your life in the air, they eat, they sleep and they copulate flying. As they make it? They are designed in that since way they have falciform wings, short queue of not very deep fork, very wide and big mouth finished off with a petty peak, blackish plumage with a white or gray petty portion under the peak, very short paws and tiny claws. And since your paws are weak tán you experience great difficulty in overcoming the flight when these birds for accident fall to the floor.

Why do you curl the hair with the dampness?
In the hair there are proteins, and these they are formed by amino acids. The amino acids would be as the links of the chain that it are the protein. This chain can establish stable unions among different links forming three-dimensional structures.
The amino acids contain atoms of sulfur. The atoms of sulfur can form bridges among different amino acids that you/they call themselves bridges disulfide.

You ask Habitual and your Answers

Does all weigh a cloud?
Taking like base a heap (the cottony typical cloud of when you are good weather) of 1×1 × kilometers located 2 kilometers high.
Using the law of the ideal gases, the density of the dry air to that height is of 1,007 kg/m3, while that of the wet air is of 0,627 kg/m3, and keeping in mind that the quantity of wet air in a cloud is of on or about 0,9%, you are that the density of a cloud is of:
(99,1 × 1,007 kg/m3 + 0,9 × 0,627 kg/m3/100 = 1,003 kg/m3
With what our cloud of 1 cubic kilometer would weigh the gewgaw of 1.003.000.000 kilograms, or, if you prefer it, something like that eats 1.003.000 tons.
Evidently, you are clouds with more and less contained of water and of very different sizes, so this calculation can vary a lot, but I would say that the idea is to stay with which the clouds weigh a heap, although they will never fall in the head because the wet air is less dense than the dry air.

How much CO2 the humanity simply emits every year breathing?
According to the medical spirometry measures, supposing that each person expires some 450 ml of CO2 per minute that means that CO2 taken place by the respiration is of about 400 ml per minute. Each gram of CO2 occupies a volume of about 556 ml, so to breathe is equal to eject 0,72 grams per minute. In one hour that is 43,2 grams; a total of 1 up-to-date kilogram and some 0,37 tons a year. As the world population we compose it about 6.500 million people, the total that we eject is of some 2,4 Gt (thousands of millions of tons) from CO2 to year. To comparison goods, the global emissions of other human (without counting to breathe) activities suppose some 27 Gt a year. Seen this way, the humans suppose ten percent of the total of emissions.

How many videotapes do they fit in Youtube?
All the videotapes of YouTube have an unique code to the style SIvp8xmvAyc. They are at random unique combinations of eleven letters and numbers that, of continuing this way, some day they would be overworked, as the business taxes. In How many videotapes do they fit in Youtube? they make a review to the beautiful world of the combinatorial one, the variances, exchanges and combinations, to calculate the exact answer:
That is about 73 quintillions, so there is not problem for the moment.

How many mailing boxs could they exist in Hotmail?
1 - we suppose that your address of Hotmail can have as minimum 4 characters and as maximum 12.
2 - the valid characters are the letters (26, since he/she doesn't differ between upper case and lower-cases), the numbers, the point, the hyphen and the low" "hyphen (total 39 characters)
3 - the first debit side to be a letter.
That means that the number of possible accounts is the following one:
For 4 characters: 1.542.294 = 26*39*39*39
For 5 characters: 60.149.466
For 6 characters: 2.345.829.174
For 7 characters: 91.487.337.786
For 8 characters: 3.568.006.173.654
For 9 characters: 139.152.240.772.506
For 10 characters: 5.426.937.390.127.734
For 11 characters: 211.650.558.214.981.626
For 12 characters: 8.254.371.770.384.283.414
Adding all the possibilities has: 8.471.592.080.131.197.654
For those that are not familiarized with the mathematics, this number means "a lot, muchíiisimo"
Of how many objects can one think simultaneously?
Although we feel that we have visual rich tests, a team of investigators has found that the half person is only aware of on or about four objects in each instant. This ability, according to the investigators of the University of Oregon, varies from one to another person. As in the capacity of the system of the short run memory it seems to reside a fundamental aspect of the intelligence, the cognitive psychologists have been interested in determining what you produce the border of four objects for most of people.

How many megapixels do they have our eyes?
The number of "pixels" of (receivers) our retina is of 200 millions (130 million canes and 7 million cones). That is to say that each eye would have 200 megapixels. Is anything not bad, not? But now the problem comes: this whole information arrives to the brain for a cable, the optical ledge. But the fibers of this cable are only of a million, as much of million and half. That is to say that the brain only receives an image of 1 or 1,5 megapixels. An image a so much "poor person", since the digital normal chambers already have 3 or 4 megapixels.

How many people have they lived throughout the history?
Beginning with two only people toward the year 50.000 A.C. already in the year 1 of our era about 300 million people lived in the world. In 1650 the world population should already be of about 500 millions, although about 75 had died not very in the black pest of the XIV century. Toward 1800 the developments in agriculture and sanity duplicated the figure until the 1.000 millions and when entering in the XXI century we overcome the barrier of the 6.000 million people. According to these numbers, the factoide or myth that you are alive more people at the present time that people have lived in the whole history you are not sustained: historically they have lived more than 100.000 million people in the diverse eras, of which we are only alive right now a petty fraction, 6.000 millions nothing else.

How many letters are in internet?
The same question made Peter Norvig - research director of Google - during your conference about the power of the data that the company gathers in internet. And everything indicates that even that is investigated in Google, since the executive responded: in internet there are around 100 trillion letters.
According to Norvig, this figure is increased between 10% and 20% every month, although many of those letters go dying, with that which, the percent of increment could be pettier.
If we adjoined all those letters, we would have around 95 thousand million words that would fit in 7 DVDs. In general it doesn't pass of being a curious anecdote that don't only demonstrate up to where the investigation of Google arrives, but rather you evidence that although more and more the voice, the videotape and the images are imposed more in the network, the letters have left a long protagonism.

Does all charge the world chairmen?
The president from Ireland is the leader that more cobra monthly, with 22.834 euros, while one of the lowest wages is the one that the Hindu prime minister, Manmohan receives Singh that you grieve you arrive to the 650 euros. Not very more, 667 monthly euros, you are what Bolivian Evo perceives Morales that were lowered the salary 57% regarding what your predecessor got paid in the debit memorandum.
Hugo Chávez actual salary is a mystery, while Lula gives Silva you perceive 2.900 monthly euros in Brazil.
George Bush, according to the data that you/they appear published in the weekly publication L'Express, 22.784 euros every month. On the other hand, the German chancellor Angela Merkel arrives to the 21.262 euros, José Luis Rodríguez Shoemaker, enters in concept of salary 7.296 monthly euros.

How many is Tiranosaurios in a liter of naphtha?
The contained carbon in a Tiranosaurio is equivalent to the content of carbon that you are in 1.740 liters of naphtha.

Do You Know?

Do you know for that Jewish Easter always coincide with the Christian?
Jesus was Jewish, following the tradition went to Jerusalem to celebrate Easter (pesaj), you were when what we know as the last dinner took place and when ending the festejos they killed him.
From the Council of Nicea (325 d.C.) Easter of Resuscitation takes place following Domingo to the moon full with March (spring equinox) 21, or at the first that you have after that date. You are about a variable date that also determine all the movable dates of the liturgical year.

Which the longest word is?
Electroencephalogram has 23 letters and you are the longest word that he/she appear in the dictionary of the Actual Academy of the Tongue.

Do you know like the blind men dream?
The neurofisiólogos has checked that they should lapse at least five years from the forfeiture of the vision so that the brain acquires the setup encefalográfica of a blind person. This is due to that continue working systems of neurons during that first five year period that, well through the memory or by means of some channel, they make possible the arrival of stimuli to the field of the brain in charge of the vision, concretely to the back lobes of the skull.
On the other hand, each person dreams of agreement of your organization sensopercitiva, that is to say, depending from how you receive the stimuli. This is valid also for the blind men that pick up the sensations through other channels, as the hearing, the taste, the smell and the tact. The brain gathers the information of where you can. This way, in a blind person the dream accomodates the same sensations from birth, that when you are awake. He/she can dream that you play soccer or that you are in the field; but what feel, for example in this last case, you are how the grass is of wet or the fragrancy of the breeze that he/she receive your smell.
More problematic you are the analysis of the dream of those people that lost the view less than five years ago, because they can receive during the periods oníricos visual stimuli that probably extract of the memory. These images go demeaning with the time, and they lose color and articulation like an old picture. You have been observed, however that when you are about highly creative fellows, these end up conserving all your life both modalities of dream.
Do you know that you are and like you are formed the fog?
The fog is a meteorological consistent phenomenon in very low clouds, at level of the floor and formed by very petty particles of water in suspension. Most of the fogs takes place when evaporating the dampness of the floor, what cause the ascent of wet air that condense giving place to the formation of these low clouds when being cooled down. The fog bears the decrease of the conditions of visibility in surface. The dispersion of the light in the particles of water that they form the fog you favor the visibility in yellow wavelengths used in lighthouses and lights antiniebla.
The fog differs of the mist for your density like aerosol and giving a Visibility of less than 2 km. You are classified according to the origin of the cooling that gave origin to the condensation:
* Radiation fog: you happen after the setting of the sun, when the floor loses heat through the emission of infrared radiation in a cloudless (of being present, the clouds would avoid that the heat escapes to the space) night. Then, the cooled floor produces condensation in the near air to the floor, through the thermal conduction process. This type of fog is communio in autumn in the countries of temperate climate, you usually have a thickness of 1m (although the whirling can make that you rise, and you are of short duration.
* Fog of wind: you take place when masses of air loaded with dampness pass on cold floors, that which cool the same air. This phenomenon is communio in the costs, when the tropical lukewarm air meets with more waters of latitudes. You are also communio when a warm front moves on an area with a considerable quantity of snow.
* Fog of vapor: you are given when cold air moves on hotter waters. The vapor of the water enters in the atmosphere for evaporation processes, and the condensation is given when the point of dew is reached. This event is communio in polar areas, lakes of considerable size, and to the end of the autumn and start of the winter.
* Precipitation fog: you are when you rain, and the low air the cloud is relatively dry. This makes that the rain drops evaporate and form vapor of water that cool down, and when reaching the point of dew, you transform into fog.
* Hillside fog: you are formed when the wind blows against the hillside of a mountain or another geologic similar formation. When ascending in the atmosphere, the dampness condenses. You are for this reason that many times the mountainous summits appear cloudy.
* Valley fog: you are formed in the valleys, usually during the winter. You are investment outcome of temperature, caused by cold air that settle in the valley, while the air warm raisin above this and of the mountains. You are basically about radiation fog confined by an accident orográfico, and it can last several days, if the climate is I calm down.
* Fog of ice: you are any type of fog in which the drops of water are frozen in form of minuscule ice crystals. Usually, this requires of temperatures quite below the freezing point, that which make that they are common to arctic and antarctic areas. In occasions, petty quantities of these glasses throw to earth, like you happen in Barrow, Alaska. In having determined areas this fog it is known as dorondón or boira dorondonera.
Why do the roosters sing to the dawn?
The roosters, territorial birds, demonstrate your might by means of the strutting, the swell and bigger coloration of your juncture and the defiant songs. Attitudes that will carry out whenever they see inside your territory .o harassing some of your females - to another male rival. In a henhouse, space, in general of having reduced dimensions, any rooster nothing else to wake up goes in the obligation of demonstrating to the whole corral that continue being the dominant core; and if the silence doesn't answer to the defiant song, a fight, phonetics will come in the first place and physics next, with the vacuuming roosters to the seat of honor. For such a reason, you are not frequent to find several cores in oneself henhouse, unless you have enough hens to distribute.
As they are formed the physiques in the artificial fires?
All the devices that intervene in some artificial fires have two fundamental parts - apart from the stick or support -. One of them is the head propulsora that depending on the quantity of gunpowder, you make go up the rocket more or less. The other component is a realm (from among 50 and 350 mm) that accomodate in your interior different balls that, according to your composition, they will produce a color or another when bursting. These balls explode thanks to that you are a bag with wired gunpowder to the wick in the heart of the realm that contain them. The physiques that are formed depend on the allocation milimétrica of the color balls I jag of this realm. Most is already physiques mounted in China.

How are they formed the lines of colors in the pasta of teeth?
The operation of the two-colored pasta of teeth doesn't have a lot of mystery... once the trick is known.
Inside the tube of the dentifrice there is a petty deposit in turn with tiny holes where the colored pasta are.
When you crowd together the tube so that the dentifrice comes out, the white pasta passes to pressure by the means of the deposit, while the color pasta makes it through the holes, lining the product when exitting.
Although now it is habitual to see pasta of teeth of loud colors, the pioneer trademark in using this technique was Signal, in 1961.
Would you have a human clone the same prints dactilares that the original?
Some simplifications that are made when defining what a clone is they induce to error. According to the expert in transgénesis Lluis Montolíu: "A human clone would be a to be created starting from nuclear" DNA of a cell mother. In him "only the 98% of the individual's" genetic information travels; the remaining 2% of the genetic code comes from the cytoplasm, and in the shotgun technique technique it is not used. That is to say, two clones are different to each other in 2% of your genetic content.
Therefore, the scientists and experts prefer to speak of "animals reconstructed by nuclear" transfer that are more correct. In fact, genetically they are "more clonic" the twin monocigóticos for that both share as much the nuclear DNA as the citipoplasmático. But neither even so they have the same print dactilar, because in they influence it the environmental conditions, and these are never same for both.

Why do they stick the fingers to the ice?
The ices that we take out of the freezer are to a temperature of some below zero 20 centigrade grades. When we play them, we observe that our fingers usually stay pasted them. The scarce dampness that you are on the skin freezes instantly when you enter in contact with that congealed petty block and the water will only be able to detach them meetly.
That same you happen, although in a less accused way, when we play a cubitera inside with ices. And the effect is much more patent as much as better pipeline of the heat you are the material with which that cubitera has been manufactured. That is to say, the fingers are more pasted in one of metal that in other, for example, of plastic, and in this more than in a wooden one.

Myths of the Science Top 10

1. The water falls a contrario sensu in the South Hemisphere due to the wraparound of the Earth
The wraparound of the Earth is too weak as to affect to the sense in which turns the water while he/she falls in a sink. Anyone can check it easily with only to turn on the faucets of several bathrooms. In each place he/she will see as the water it forms whirls to one or another side only depending in the way of the washbasin, not of the hemisphere where he/she is.

2. The alone human beings use 10% of the brain
This difundidísimo myth already takes almost one century being even reverted in the means. Fortunately it is not certain. The investigation techniques for such images as the Magnetic Nuclear Resonance have demonstrated that the humans even make good use of the cerebral cortex when they sleep

3. A chicken can live without head
Certain, and also during enough time. A rooster can outlive without head because his cerebral trunk is often practically intact after beheading it, puediendo still to control for if same most of its motor skills.

4. In the space there is not graveness
The blame of this frequent equivocation is for the image that we have of astronauts floating inside a space ship. When an object (a satellite, a shuttle) is in orbit, it is not in ingravidez (since the graveness yes it acts) state but in state of free drop. This means that said I object in fact he/she is falling toward the Earth, but I eat their tangential speed it is so high, the floor is "curved" quicker, and therefore the object never ends up playing the floor. The graveness is everywhere, even in the space. Neither it is certain that the space is a hole. There are there outside all kinds of atoms, although often very distant.

5. A currency rushed from the high of a building could kill a person
A petty currency, as that of 5 cents of euro, is not in fact the most aerodynamic weapon that exists. Due to their form and to the friction of the wind it would only be able to reach the enough (even being heady from the high of Empire State Building to 381 meters) speed it hardly stops to cause smarting to the unfortunate pedestrian.

6. In the mature brain new cells are not generated
It has always been accepted that each human was born with a certain number of neurons that he went losing throughout the life without reserve possibility. It is certain that most of (and more important) the development of the brain happens during the childhood, but that doesn't mean that everything is below hill starting from then. The studios have demonstrated that the bigger one is even able to generate new brain cells during, and that these work correctly.

7. The men think of sex every seven seconds
The males, in evolution terms, come genetically scheduled to reproduce, but scientific method doesn't exist some to be able to measure how long of the day they spend it fantasizing. Fortunately for the world productivity, do those seven seconds only seem a coarse exaggeration, truth?

8. A ray never falls twice in the same place
In fact the lightnings take their "favorite" places, especially in the places to great height. For example to Empire State Building hits upon him some 25 times a year. Benjamin Franklin understood the concept a long time ago. He/she climbed with a metal bar on the roof of their house, to which bound until mediating earth a conductive cable. It had just invented the lightning rod.

9. The chicken broth cures the common cold
To use the word to "cure" is maybe exaggerated, but the science says that the mothers from all over the world make well when they force their children to take soup of chicken broth. The studios have found that the broth contains anti-inflammatory estates that you/they help to reduce the engorgement.

10. The hair and the nails continue growing after dead
Although the hair and the nails seem to continue growing post-mortem, this is merely an optical morbid illusion. In the death the human body becomes dehydrated severely, retrayendo the skin enough how to expose the nails and the hair more than the habitual thing.

Divination The Oracle of the Circle

From times immemorial the man has had queries on itself and on the nature, and it has always appealed to different methods to arrive to his answers. Firstly those elements that surrounded it were: bones, snails, etc. then the stars, the fire or the water, among other. To all these methods they are called oracles, and the forces that participate in them they are really actual.

One of these oracles is the oracle of the circle, a very plain method of divination of carrying out and very amusing of practicing. Here you will know how to make it, and how to interpret the elements that participate in him.

You will need:
-Resistant (jean, linen, etc) cloth.
-Acrylic paint of different several colors.
-It rules, compass, conveyer, pencil and scissors.

It proceeds this way:
It measures and it draws on the cloth, a circle of 15 diameter cm. Then it divides the circle with the help of the conveyer in twelve parts of 30º each one. Already marked, it paints each sector with a contrasting color in a staggered way. For example, one red, another yellow one, another green, another blue, and so forth. You can repeat the colors once ended the series that you have chosen. Once dry the base, paints in each sector numbers from the 1 to the 12, of right to left.

The meaning of the numbers:
1 mean the next year, 2 mean the money, 3 the trips, 4 the family life, 5 the present. 6 the health, 7 mean the love and the relationships, the 8 mean the law and the justice, 9 your pansies, 10 the work and your profession, 11 the friends, and the 12 mean the enemies.

How to consult the oracle:
To consult the Circular Oracle, he/she takes three dice of different colors, but that they are of the same size. Only use them with the purpose of consulting the oracle, it doesn't stop to play to any other thing.
Each face of the dice means the following: 1 positive, 2 to culture the relationships, 3 success, 4 deception or it punishes, 5 positive trend, 6 unwarranted status.
When you will consult this oracle, you will search a calm place and to prepare mentally the problem on which you want to consult. It throws the dice on the chart and notice in that sector fell. When you have ended it allows to consume a candle and guard together the chart and the three dice in a special place.

It adds of the dice and sectors of the circle:
When you throw the dice, it will add the number of each face of the dice with the number of the circle sector where he/she has fallen. The meanings are the following ones:
3 positive and unexpected events, 4 deception or personal dissatisfaction, 5 something new that provides happiness, 6 forfeiture in the businesses or spiritual gain, 7 retardations and barriers that you/they cause a scandal, 8 negative strong influences, 9 success in the love and near reconciliation, 10 births and new start. ascents, 11 illness or item. anxiety, 12 a message that brings good news, 13 pain and negative long term events, 14 a new friend and he/she helps of other, 15 temptation to make grievances and to fall in the flaw, 16 good for the trips, to leave now will bring short term fortune, 17 change of plans. you allow yourself to guide for the intuition, 18 very good fortune, happiness and benefits in the proximate future.
