space wine

the new chilean wine "meteorita" is fermented with a 4.5 billion year old south american meteorite. sounds expensive. very, very expensive. the meteorite is supposed to give the wine a "livelier taste." Honestly i think they're just doing it to get ALOT of money.

this doesn't really affect the world in any way other than letting rich people have another way to show off. Sofar there is no news on a price, but i bet its expensive. personally, I'd rather have a car. a nice car. probobly an italian car. or maybe german.

Solar Thermal

Resource: http://www.solardev.com/SEIA-makingelec.php

Solar energy is using the sun's energy to create electricity to power our electronics. Solar thermal energy is one type of using the sun for energy. This type of energy is revolved around redirecting the sun's heat to boil water. It then creates steam that will spin or push some kind of mechanism such as a turbine. The great thing about this type of energy plant is it can store the energy that the sun gives. This means it can generate power during any time of the day such as day, night, cloudy, or even raining. There are some different ways that the sun's energy is redirected. One of the mechanisms is a "power tower" which follows the sun and has mirrors that capture the sun's rays to boil water. Another type is like a pipe that is used to capture the sun's energy and it is picked up by circulating oil through the pipe.

Solar energy may be the next type of energy humans rely on. Our fossil fuels are hurting our earth faster and faster. Solar thermal energy has gotten a better chance for taking over. Molten salts which retains a large amount of heat can help store the heat for anytime. It can be held even throughout the night and it can help assist circulating the energy when needed. This may be the start of a new frontier of energy.

"WE'RE GOING TO MARS!"

while previously an organic life form, such as yourself, could view mars using google EARTH, a computer program allowing people to view earth (obviously), the moon, and mars; But now NASA is allowing us normal squishy human beings who dont have high paying jobs at NASA to view the surface of mars in more detail than ever before. you can explore areas also explored by rovers in great detail.

This is cool because by the time people are going to mars, you will be a wrinkly old person who watches tv all day and cant be bothered to get up and go to the toilet when nature calls. with this you can explore mars from the comfort of your bathroom, which you can still get to without the help of a young whipper snapper.

Colloidal Silver

Colloidal Silver is a liquid that has many medical uses. It helps boost your immune system, fights bacteria, viruses, fungus, and even acne! Back in ancient Greece, the Greeks noticed that silver helped with many things, so they used it...a lot. They coated their food and drink ware with it, they would even put it in their milk to help keep it "good" without refrigeration. Did you ever wonder why silverware was made from silver? Well, now you know! Colloidal Silver is made by putting a silver rod in water, and electrifying the rod. Odd isn't it?

LEGOs in SSSSSSSSSSSPPPPPPPPPPPPPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

recently some canadians (eh) have sent a LEGO into SSSSSSSSSSSSSPPPPPPPPPPPPPPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEEEEE! and to quote the lovely Sara Jean Underwood, "they sent up a balloon and got publicity without faking a child being in it!" Unfortunatley the facts portion of the blog will be short because there isn't much to say other than "recently some canadians (eh) have sent a LEGO into SSSSSSSSSSSSSPPPPPPPPPPPPPPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEEEEE!" either way though, it's still awesome.

This event, in my opinion, is pretty awesome. I am now considering doing it myself. This event will help aspiring young astronauts to learn about the atmosphere, and the troubles faced when trying to pass it.

Nervous system

Do you know how your friend pinches you and you get that sharp pain up your arm? Or how your wife rubs your back and that tingling makes it's way around? None of that would be possible without nerves. Nerves are those things you hear about that send impulses to your brain, and your brain sends back feeling. How does the impulse get to your brain? How does your brain send the feeling back? What is the impulse and feeling? All very valid questions. An impulse takes the form of a type of electricity, which travels up through the nerves and to your brain. Your brain interprets the impulse very quickly, and sends back chemicals, which travel inside of your nerves, and back to the location of the impulse start. In order for the chemicals to get there, you need nerve synapses. These are little tiny gaps between your nerves that contain the "guns" and "receivers" of the chemicals. Nerves also have a sheath covering them. Think of it as a cord. A cord is a bunch of metals wires wrapped in a rubber, or plastic, or whatever material sheath. This speeds up the process of the signal or impulse getting from point A to point B.

Covalent Bonds

Resource: http://misterguch.brinkster.net/covalentcompounds.html

Covalent bonds are one of the types of bonds found between elements. Its different from ionic bonds because these elements don't take electrons. Why would this bond not take electrons tho? It is a good question and the reason is the electronegativity. First of all, all elements want to reach eight valence electrons, and it becomes unusually stable such as the noble gases. The element's electronegativity is the pull it has on other electrons to fulfill the octet rule. Covalent bonds are different because it shares electrons. Two nonmetals will usually be the two elements combing with each other. Electronegativity takes it affect because if both have roughly the same amount of it, then the two elements must share than steal because neither can steal from one another. A property that can differ from ionic bonds are a much lower melting and boiling point. This is because ionic bonds need to be melted all the way because of their negative and positive charges, but covalent bonds are not that tightly packed and requires much less energy to make physical changes. Another property is covalent bonds are more flammable. It is because of the specific bondings of carbon and hydrogen atoms. These two properties are usually true for covalent bonds, but there can be exceptions to these rules.

I found this web page rather interesting especially for covalent bonds. It was very informative and told me the important parts of any kind of information. If anyone were curious in covalent bonds, this would be the first place I'd tell them to look. The different bonds are important to know because our industries help create useful materials from making bonds of different elements. This knowledge is another tool for a productive use in our everyday lives.
