Biodiversity

In 1748, Swedish botanist and anatomist, Carl Linnaeus published his taxonomic classification of all the plants and the animals of that period time. His classification was not based on evolutionary relationship but simply on resemblances. He divided all known forms of life between the plant and animal kingdom.Then in 1969, Robert H. Whittaker introduced the 5 kingdom system: monera, protista, plantae, fungi and animalia. Whittaker’s system recognized two fundamentally different levels of cell organization; prokaryotic and eukaryotic and both are under the kingdom monera. Eukaryotic can be divided into unicellular and multicellular. Then he distinguished three kingdoms of multicellular eukaryotes based partly on the types of nutrition; plantae, fungi and animalia. Plants are autotrophs that mean they produce their own food by photosynthesis. Fungi and animals are heterotrophs, they cannot do their own food. Protista consists of all unicellular eukaryotes that did not fit the definition of plants, fungi and animals. Some of them are multicellular too.

Mutation

Mutation refers to any changes in the amount or arrangement of genes or nucleotide sequence of a DNA encoding the gene or chromosomes in a cell of an organism. It can take place in any cell of an organism. It may also produce a new characteristic that can be inherited, if it occurs in the gamete. It can also lead to the lost of the gene function or produce the new function. Most of these mutations are recognized as mutants because the phenotype (physical) of the organism has changed. Mutation can be classified as gene mutation and chromosomal mutation while the two types of mutation are spontaneous and induced mutation. The spontaneous mutation occurs naturally while the induced mutation is caused by mutagen such as chemical and radiation. Mutagens are substances or agents that can cause a much high rate of mutation. The process involved is mutagenesis. Mutagens have two types: physical mutagen like UV rays and X-rays, and chemical mutagen like mustard gas.

Fruit & Veggie Power

Fruits and vegetables contain lots of antioxidants that can help protect our body from chronic diseases like cancer and diabetes but normally today's people always fail to eat them recommended 5-10 daily serving. So, here are some tips.

  1. Start the day with 2 serving such as 2 types of fruit with milk or yogurt.
  2. Be a part-time vegetarian.
  3. Shop the frozen fruits frequently so that at rush time you can have it easier.
  4. Salad to go, that means serve your leisure time with some salad.
  5. Experiment. The emporium will mostly change their types of fruits weakly, so take this chance to try different fruits weakly.

Syndrome

Down’s syndrome

A person with Down’s syndrome has three copies of chromosome 21, rather than the usual two. The ratio of this syndrome is about 1 in 800 live births. Individuals with Down’s syndrome usually have multiple physical malformations, mental retardation and relatively short lives. They typically have short, stocky bodies with thick hands and feet. They also commonly have broad, short heads with small low-set ears, small concave saddle-shaped or flattened nose, relatively large-ridged tongues that roll over a protruding lower lip, low muscle tone and loose joints.

Turner’s syndrome

Basically it occurs on female with only one X chromosome. Therefore the genotype is XO. This syndrome is relatively rare and it is about 1:2500 live births. Turner’s syndrome is a chromosomal condition that affects girls and women. It is characterized by short stature, webbed neck and triangular face, lack of menstruation, undeveloped secondary sexual characteristics and infertility.

Klinefelter’s syndrome

It occurs when an individual, normally male, has two X and one Y chromosomes. The individual will have a relatively high-pitched voice, increased breast tissue and comparatively little facial and body hair. They are normally sterile or subfertile. Their testes and prostate glands are small therefore, they produce small amount of testosterone. They mostly overweight, have difficulties in learning and have short term memories. There is about 1 in 500 and 1 in 1000 male births.

XYY syndrome

The individual will have an extra copy of the Y chromosome. They are normally male and also called as “super-male”. During adolescence, they are often slender, have severe facial acne and poorly coordinated. They are usually fertile and lead ordinary lives as adults. As adult, they will grow above 6 feet tall and generally appear and act normal. However they produce high levels of testosterone. There is about 1 in 900 or 1 in 2000 male birth.

XXX syndrome

The individual will have three X chromosomes and is also called as “super-female”. They are usually an inch or so taller than average. They have long legs and slender torsos. Their sexual characteristics are normal but they may have slight learning difficulties and are usually in the lower range of normal intelligence. The frequency of birth is 1 in 1000 female infants and it occurs more commonly when the mother is older.

A Fresh Look at Bad Breath

Everyone has bad breath now and again. But there are many misconception about its causes and treatments.
  1. It's easy to tell if your breath smells. Actually, we cannot smell our own breath because we become accostomed to it.
  2. Bad breath comes from the stomach. In fact, it usually comes from the back of the mouth.
  3. Brushing teeth will eliminate bad breath. The problem often comes from bacteria deep within crevices on the back of the tongue that can't be reached with a toothbrush.
  4. Mouthwash can eliminate bad breath also. Usually mouthwash provides only temporary relief.

For the best act in avoid bad breath are to see dentist, have your teeth cleaned, drink plenty of liquids and don't let your mouth go dry. Then, when you brush, clean your tongue also especially at the back.

Another reason to breast-feed?

As we know breast milk is the ideal food for infants. Besides providing essential nutrients, it contains living cells, enzymes and antibodies that help protect babies against common childhood diseases. It might help prevent nearsightedness. A study by the National University of Singapore and National University Hospital of nearly 800 children aged 10 to 12 years found that those who were breast-fed had lower rates of myopia than kids who were not breast-fed. "Nevertheless, this finding should prompt mothers everywhere to think twice before considering feeding their babies anything other than breast milk"

Chocolate: the Bitter and the Sweet

Chocolate contains high antioxidants that help to protect the body from damage caused by pollution, pesticides, smoking, stress and processed foods. They also help to stay young. It's high in saturated fat, which is bad those at risk of heart disease. But now RMIT University, Melbourne, has found that the stearic acid in better-quality chocolate helps stop blood clots forming. Quality chocolate makes you happy and not just because it tastes good. Maybe because of the caffeine and the chemical serotonin. Chocolate is one of the causes of migraines also. The better the quality of chocolate, the less sugar is added in its making. There's no proof that chocolate causes pimples, but it is not beauty product. Chocolate is energy-dense so you don't have to eat much of it before you exceed your body's needs. If you consume more energy than your body uses, you will store the excess as fat.

Why do future engineers need to study engineering ethics?

The Ford Pinto case which was about the ruptured fuel tank and burst into flame, has lead to the deaths of 3 teenage girls. The Pinto case is just one of the example of ethical problems faced by professional engineers. The work of engineers can affect public health and safety and also can influence business practices and even the politics. So, the goal of learning this subject is to sensitize the future engineers to the important ethical issues before they have confront them. It trains them to analyze complex problems and learn to resolve them in the most ethical manner.

Michael Jackson - Earth Song lyrics

What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain...
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said were yours and mine
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood we've shed before
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying Earth, these weeping shores?

What have we done to the world
Look what we've done
What about about all the peace
That you pledge your only son...
What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying earth, these weeping shores?

I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I don't know where we are
Although I know we've drifted far

Hey, what about yesterday
What about the seas
The heavens are falling down
I can't even breathe
What about the bleeding Earth
Can't we feel it's wounds
What about nature's worth
It's our planet's womb
What about animals
We've turned kingdoms to dust
What about elephants
Have we lost thier trust
What about crying whales
We're ravaging the seas
What about forest trails
Burnt despite our pleas
What about the holy land
Torn apart by creed
What about the common man
Can't we set him free
What about children dying
Can't you hear them cry
Where did we go wrong
Someone tell me why
What about babies
What about the days
What about all their joy
What about the man
What about the crying man
What about Abraham
What about death again
Do we give a damn

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Happiness by Raymond Carver

So early it's still almost dark out.
I'm near the window with coffee,
and the usual early morning stuff
that passes for thought.

When I see the boy and his friend
walking up the road
to deliver the newspaper.

They wear caps and sweaters,
and one boy has a bag over his shoulder.
They are so happy
they aren't saying anything, these boys.

http://www.famouspoetsandpoems.com/poets/raymond_carver/poems/4592

I think if they could,
they would take
each other's arm.
It's early in the morning,
and they are doing this thing together.

They come on, slowly.
The sky is taking on light,
though the moon still hangs pale over the water.

Such beauty that for a minute
death and ambition, even love,
doesn't enter into this.

Happiness. It comes on
unexpectedly. And goes beyond, really,
any early morning talk about it.

The human animal

Human beings is clasify as mammals. Didn't meant that we are monkeys, dogs or whatever but the thruth is human can behave similarly like the animal. If animal fights for control, mark out their territory, have sexual feeling and eat foods so do to human also. Human has evolved far beyond any other species but there are some human with stronger animal instinct than moral laws. That means human can do more terrible behaviours than animal can do such as doing sexual crime and killing. So as a good human we should act properly so that we are not going to be called like animal again. The different between human and animal is just the mind, human can think wisely than animal can do.

Mostly the bad one will come with varity kinds of bad action such asa killing, murdering, negatives lifestyles and much more. The worst is when the viewers try to immitate what the actor or actress do in the films. It is alright when it is a good behaviour but not all of us will do that actually. Documentaries and education programmes are the example of the beneficial one. They give us better perspective of our world, teach us about responsibilities, customs and traditions of other people and many more. But actually it all depends on one self to choose the best programmes to watch.

Listen to your heart

In fact, we most likely do not thinkabout our heart at all unless there could be a problem with it. Cardiovascular disease is the number one category of killers in the world. So, we should learn how to keep our heart healthy. Heart diseases are not only caused by one factor but by seceral factors actually. Smoking, which in itself increases a person's risk of heart attack, also tends to lead to high blood pressure and then contribute to have heart disease. Fortunately, the majority of these risk factors such as high blood cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, smoking, lack of exercise and stress can be reduced by making changes to our lifestyle. While most of the risk factors can be managed, there are others such as a person's age, gender and family history with cardiovascular diseases that cannot be managed. Nonetheless, we can certainly make the decision to eat healthily. Following a healthy diet can reduce our risks of developing heart diseases and increase our chances of survival after a heart attack. Don't forget to make more exercises that can help in it.
