Platonic-Fullerene Chemistry and the Ethics of Admiral Robert Fitzroy’s Storm Glass

Last century, before sealed roads linked North West Australia to areas of population, dusty dirt roads were used by mining exploration companies, which passed through huge station properties where underground water sustained a thriving cattle industry. One of the popular tales told in those days was about how flocks of white cockatoos, sensing that rain was coming to their area, became very excited, flying about in a frenzy of screeching excitement. In some arid areas it may have been well over a year since rain had fallen, but those birds always seemed to know days beforehand, that a rare storm was approaching. Some biological mechanism had been triggered that 20th Century science was unable to explain.

Admiral Robert Fitzroy, during Charles Darwin’s Voyage on HMS Beagle, had concocted a mixture of chemicals, which he had sealed inside glass jars called storm glasses. In 1859 The British Crown issued them to many fishing villages throughout Britain. Captains of ships at port were to read them before going to sea. The formation of crystals, cloudy fluids, thread like formations, spotting or star clots, indicated future weather conditions. Because the jars were sealed the science of their day could not explain how they functioned.

The Molecule of Emotion, discovered by Dr Candace Pert in 1972, is now considered an expression of fractal logic and provides explanations as to why the flocks of cockatoos reacted to the approaching arrival of flooding rains. Within the present scientific world-view, the association of infinite fractal purpose, although an accepted logic, cannot be associated with any biological process. Einstein’s Premier Law of all of Science, the universal heat death law, forbids it. All evolutionary processes are understood to lead to the total heat death extinction of life and cannot be part of any infinite fractal process.

The properties of Carbon 70, which functions beyond the entropic limitation of Einstein’s world-view, have been discovered and are inspiring new concepts of ethical quantum biological energy technology under the guidance of the new Platonic-Fullerene Chemistry. Fullerene Chemistry has been established by the three 1996 Nobel Laureates in chemistry and is basic to their new medical institute called C 60 Inc., suggesting that Carbon 70 is also relevant to a medical science, as is suggested herein. The term ‘ethical’ arises from the Platonic Science for Ethical Ends, from which Buckminster Fuller derived his synergistic theories, which balanced Einstein’s entropic world-view, as did also Sir Isaac Newton’s unpublished papers discovered last century.

In Australia the governmental understanding of the way carbon functions is so confused that Australian voters can be seen to be about to bring down the present government over issues that appear to many to belong to an international debt enforcement global rationalism. The use of Kantian Aesthetics to maintain a Moral Jurisprudence Law to somehow depict perpetual economic growth and development is illogical. Only fractal logic can possibly be used to develop such a line of reasoning and that logic belongs to Kantian fractal logic electromagnetic Ethics, banished from science due to its paganorigins within the Platonic Science for Ethical Ends. If Platonic-Fullerene Chemistry were to clearly demonstrate the principles upon which Admiral Fitzroy’s storm glass was enabled to forecast the weather, the entropic logic of global economic rationalism could not possibly grasp them.

Homo Entropicus, by scientific definition, can only bring about an acceleration of the chaos associated with the extinction process. It is a shocking thought that the ones attacking the logic of the existing entropic death sentence mentality, might be the confused unethical thugs who seem to find some need to run amok in our urban environment. The point that might need to be examined is, is it possible that we need to gain an understanding of what Plato’s engineering ethics of a spiritual reality are all about, now that Platonic-Fullerene Chemistry is presenting them as the basis of a new holographic environmental science?

Raster to Vector Conversions Define Graphic Art Images

There are several editing programs that are used by professional editors. They are required to retouch, restore, manipulate or create new files. When they are worked on they can be saved in any format. But when they are on the editing table they are either vector or raster (also called bitmap). They have pixels that define the images. Some examples of bitmap are web-based pictures or even pictures shot from an ordinary camera. The image resolution determines the grid. This in turn shows us how many pixels the image has.

Has it ever occurred to you that the pixel is just a spot of color? And when several such spots called dots are put on a grid it makes the entire picture. Depending on the image size the number of the pixels is calculated. And because there are a limited number of pixels or dots, the image resolution is fixed. It can be scaled only to a limited degree. Which means, if a bitmap image is reduced then some of the original pixels are discarded. This affects the overall look of the image. And if the same picture is increased in height, it appears distorted. Hence these bitmap or raster images need to be put in the vector format.

The vector format is very flexible. The images in such a configuration can be maneuvered in many creative ways. There is no question of pixels or limited resolution. Hence they can be reduced or increased to any dimensions. The structure of these images is of malleable shapes and geometrical lines. This system is best to make multifaceted logos and a host of other things. Many architectural renderings and illustrations are also defined by this system. If a raster image is converted to a vector one then it can redefine it into a graphic art.

A vector image can be reduced to the size of a small business card, or a passport size picture. Such an image moves from point to point and can be traced also. This helps in editing as numerous clipping path techniques can be applied to achieve results. It can be enlarged too for an ad campaign. In either diametrically opposite size the quality of the image does not suffer. Now editors are making these images more creative. With the addition of a background (transparent or opaque) a new perspective is given. For more value addition, drop shadow or reflections also can be used. A vector image can be made into a pixilated (bitmap) one but it is difficult to do the technique other way round. Some of the editing programs that offer the best raster to vector conversions are Auto CAD, Adobe, Auto Desk, Corel Draw, Metafile, Macintosh, Windows, Illustrator, PNG, and Targa Bitmap.

Using both the paths is also extending the creative imagination. Both are inter-dependent on each other. With the right program, the editor is capable of producing the best results. But for all practical purposes vector images are far more popular with the professional online editors.

Mindfulness: In Layman’s Terms

One of the strategies I have come to rely heavily on for calming me down is mindfulness. Basically it’s taking a moment or two to be completely aware of your surroundings in a non-judgmental way. Yes, it seems to be so elementary to pay attention to your surroundings. Ever tried it? It’s a lot harder than it looks on paper. Here are some examples on how to do it and when it’s great to use.

Example 1: After a long day

You’ve had a horrible day at work and you are exhausted. When you get home, the family is there to welcome you with their demands of your time and attention at the very least. You finally get to sit down, but having a quiet moment to yourself is nearly impossible nowadays. The kids are playing, the TV is on, and the dishes need to be done. The to-do list for the night seems to be never ending!

Now, using the four senses, describe what your environment is like. I personally like to do this out loud since my brain doesn’t shut up even for me to talk. What do you see? The kids? Yes, but go further: the kids playing cars with each other. The TV? Once again, go further: the TV is on a commercial about hair color (or whatever the case may be). Notice the hangings on the wall that have been there forever. You are making a mental list, not judging how much you hate the color of the walls and want to change them. Ok, so now – what do you smell? Dinner? What about dinner? Maybe garlic and the browning of meat. What do you hear? The meat sizzling in the pan; the kids laughing as their toy cars collide; the hum of the heater? Ok, now feel. The chair pressing into your back; the hair in your face; your clothes resting against your skin. Are they itchy or tight?

Example 2: Trouble Falling Asleep

This is when I utilize mindfulness the most!

You’ve had a shower, the kids are in bed, the chores done and you finally collapse into bed. The exhaustion is overwhelming, but when you close your eyes, you can’t fall asleep. Writing down your thoughts on a notepad next to your bed is useless when you can’t even keep up with them. Your brain is having problems winding down and processing the events of the day.

Again, what do you see? If you do this with your eyes closed this time, it might be a better idea, since the objective is to go to sleep. Still, you see blackness. What do you smell? The freshness of the sheets; the dog lying in bed next to you? What do you hear? The hum of the fan; the dripping of a faucet; the dog snoring? Now, what do you feel? The softness of the sheets lying against your skin; the dog’s breath on your arm; your head cradled in the pillow?

It may seem easy, but putting it into practice is sometimes hard. However, this is one of the best methods I have found to help me get perspective of the world around me. It also helps me calm down when things are getting on my last nerve, or as above, when I can’t sleep. It really has become one of the best ideas to deal with my skin picking, especially when its anxiety related. The more detail you can incorporate into your senses, the better. It will get easier the more you use it. I hope it gives you insight and is as helpful to you as it has been to me!

Bowel Incontinence – Remedies and Products to Use

A person suffering from bowel incontinence will need to turn to adult diapers and other incontinence supplies that can help you to live your life more effectively and without embarrassment over your condition. When a person suffers from bowel incontinence their bowel will involuntarily pass stool. Sometimes it happens when your body is passing gas but at other times it will be fecal matter that passes on its own.

Females report that dealing with bowel incontinence is a common occurrence in out of three women over the age of 65. With fecal incontinence being such a huge problem it is vital that you explore all of your options to help you manage your condition without feeling embarrassed from it.

There are some things that the doctor will do like offering you medications or exploring other options like Kegel exercises. You need to have strong muscles in order to keep in the stool. In addition to problems with pelvic muscles you may also need to look at problems with the nervous system.

One of the big reasons why you may be dealing with incontinence is because you may have deal with chronic condition. Incontinence underwear can help you to keep your problem discrete as it will be able to catch the fecal matter that may be released throughout the day. Chronic constipation is one of the biggest reasons why you could be dealing with bowel incontinence. The problem with constipation is that it will cause the intestines to stretch and they will become weak over time. When this happens the muscles of the anus will end up having a hard time contracting in the right way. It will end up leading you to have diarrhea and anal leakage. Wearing adult diapers is one of the best ways to catch the fecal matter.

It is important to understand that fecal incontinence is not a situation that you need to be embarrassed about or a situation that is hopeless. There are so many incontinence products on the market that can help you out. Proper treatment is the best way to help you feel better about yourself. Understanding what bowel incontinence is all about will give you the best option that helps you feel better about your condition. Finding out what the cause of your fecal incontinence is will give you the best option to manage your condition.

The bowels will be trained to release the stool often and this will end up giving you problems holding in the stool. If you have a lot or problems with constipation you need to consider talking to your doctor about having them break up the stool. Breaking the stool into smaller pieces will make it easier to pass them. Changing your diet is a great idea as well as increasing your fiber intake will soften the stool so you are not dealing with fecal incontinence as often. Remove foods from your diet like alcohol and caffeine as they can also cause you to have problems with stool incontinence.

Depression and Genetic Predisposition

Depression and Genetic Predisposition: Can depression be genetic? I find the articles of most interest to be those that seem to be making a lot of progress in the study of genetics and mental illness including a genetic link to ADHD. Even though these studies are in the very early stages, they shed some new light on mental illness and “maybe” some promise of a break through down the road. Depression and genetic predisposition is in the forefront of many studies today. Can depression be genetic or is depression genetically inherited are questions that are often asked of me. Is there a suicide gene? Certain studies have claimed to isolate parts of the brain and genes that may be responsible for depression; and other articles claim that the environment can alter the genes which would give someone a predisposition to depression or other mental illnesses. Still other research has claimed that toxins or deficiencies or a plethora of vitamins in early development can also lead to mental illness.

To say that the cause of an illness of any sort is genetic is somewhat of a vacuous answer. We can then ask what was the cause of the illness in the ancestor that passed this gene along; and on and on we go. Somewhere in the family of origin, somebody had to be the “prime cause” or “first cause” that introduced this illness to the family gene pool. Now the question of whether the prime cause was a gene mutation or environmental issue cannot be avoided. This also entails another issue viz. if mental illness is initially introduced to a particular gene pool by means other than DNA, then of logical necessity-mental illness can still be caused by factors other than DNA. The question then becomes, what are some of the possible causes of mental illness, are they biological, genetic mutations, environmental stressors, toxins…

Some scientists have claimed to have isolated a certain area in the brain that is responsible for pleasure and that genetic therapy might be able to repair or change the brain function by adding a missing brain protein p11 to that specific area of the brain.

Other studies claim that fetal stress or traumatic events can cause the genes to “turn on or off”. Small chemical groups can cause protein complexes to bind to histones and these can control gene activity. The researchers have studied in detail a complex called PRC2 which can attach small chemical groups – methyl groups – to the histones. Protective complexes can bind to the histones when this marker is present and the genes are turned off. Their new results show that the protective complexes are lost and selected genes turned on when cells are exposed to external stress factors.

Recent studies seem to have found a biomarker or genetic mutation that influences how the brain responds to stress which plays a key role in depression. The study claims to have found a genetic mutation that precludes certain individuals from producing enough neuropeptide Y. When the brain produces an insufficient amount of this NPY they are prone to have more intense negative emotional responses when subjected to stressful situations. The interesting aspect of these findings is that they could possibly lead to genetic engineering and actually provide a “cure” for mental illness in the future.Depression and Genetic Predisposition is part of a larger body of genetics studying mental illness which almost always leads us to more discoveries and maybe treatments. Currently we can treat the symptoms but seldom “cure” the illness unless the cause is a hormonal imbalance or if the symptoms are that of another illness that is treatable, such as some infectious diseases.

Walking For Weight Loss And Fitness

It seems these days only a handful of individuals are getting a sufficient amount of good exercise. Seated all day long on a computer, or on some of the many activities that restrain individuals to a workplace do not provide their body a good deal of exercise. Quite challenging, but the best solution to this would be to consider some sort of extra activity to give your body the essential exercise it need.

Experts have learned that walking is among the most beneficial types of exercise and the most desired fitness activity by almost all men and women simply because besides being simple, zero cost, and open to everyone it provides lots of health benefits for the body without risking injuries or being stressed as well. A walking program is a great option to lose weight and boost your overall fitness level, but you need to put some effort in order to get it do the job.

Walking really is a safe and efficient way for you to strengthen your heart and lungs and also to improve your overall state of health. Even so, to get the best benefits you need to change your walking strategy or program as you become fitter. When you see that your walks are turning out to be less of a challenge or your weight loss is declining, then it is time to start adding some variation on your walking strategy or program.

Let me share some good ideas to add more power and interest to your fitness walking for weight loss.

First, undertake exactly what most advanced walkers do and get a couple of wrist or ankle weights to use in your walks. The additional weight and resistance causes your core muscle tissues to compensate by working harder, as a consequence it melts away more calories.

Second, to gain faster weight loss, you have to reprogram your walking method to incorporate additional uphill inclines. You may also try to look for some outdoor steps for you to climb. From time to time, you may get out of the city streets behind and choose an energetic walk in a nearby park or perhaps a wooded area. Choosing more challenging terrain as well as uphill walking often make use of slightly unique muscles and get your heart beating faster. You will burn more calories, improve your metabolism, and begin to witness restored weight loss success.

Third, the ideal way to enhance your motivation and obtain more out on your walks is to join with a local walking team. By joining a team of like-minded walkers, you will notice it less complicated to push yourself harder and will also be more determined to achieve your fitness or weight loss goals. Besides you will feel better about your own fitness level once you encounter other individuals that have the same level as you.

To sum it up, to be able to experience weight loss gains, you will need a lot more effort than just a relaxing walk. Instead of just lollygagging, walk briskly and steadily so that your heartbeat keeps improved for half an hour or longer. You possibly can lose weight through walking provided that you commit with your plan and continue to keep challenging you to ultimately keep working harder.

Some Of The Most Important Global Health Products

Some of the important health products that are needed globally include the following Vaccinations. Vaccinations are vital especially for children. Some of the diseases children are immunized against include hepatitis A, Meningococcal disease and chicken pox.

Vaccines are vital global health products that need to be readily available in health centers. Dipheria, polio, measles, mumps, Rubella and tetanus vaccines are other of the important vaccinations that need to be readily available for the children in rural as well as the urban settings.

Different vaccines are administered at different ages. Some of these immunizations will have mild side effects on the child such as a fever and soreness at the point where the shot was given. Some severe side effects can include neurological damage, cancer and even death. This can be as a result of vaccination with vaccines containing toxic substances such as mercury and aluminum phosphate.

Condoms. When used correctly and consistently, condoms are sure ways to prevent against sexually transmitted diseases. These are crucial global health products which their use is being highly advised in effort to control HIV/AIDS. Condoms are available for both men and women with various sizes, shapes and flavors. Some are lubricated to make it more comfortable during use.

Condoms have been made available for free in among others, institutions such as schools to encourage safe sex among students. Although it has been questioned that making condoms easily accessible will make the students feel more prone to having sex. However, according to the World Health Organization, the provision of sex education, condoms and counseling does not mean that the children will initiate sexual relationships. Access to these and may other essential global health products is being checked by not only the government but non governmental organizations as well.

According to the World Health Organizations’ World’s malaria report for 2010, 2.23% of deaths throughout the world were as a result of malaria. Drugs to treat conditions such as malaria are global health products that sometimes lack in some areas especially those living in poverty. The lack of these medications results to deaths especially among children and expectant women. Malaria can also be prevented using medicines such as malarone and chloroquine. It can also be prevented by sleeping under a treated mosquito net. WHO has however noted progress in fighting against malaria with more than 50% reduction in malaria cases in 43 countries over the past decade.

First Person on the Scene Training

The first person on the scene training prepares the candidates for responding to medical emergencies when someone fall ill unexpectedly, or they are involved in an accident. It is well known that the first person on the scene, who also has the proper life saving training required, can have the biggest single impact of the chances of survival of the affected person or persons. We can all find ourselves the first person on the scene of an accident, and if we don’t know what to do, or if we do the wrong thing, a person’s life may be at stake. It’s a daunting responsibility, and we hope that someone else will be there first who knows what to do. First person on the scene training can equip all of us to cope with the most unpleasant of medical emergencies, however.

First person on the scene training goes beyond basic first aid training. It is the step prior to pre-hospital treatment that members of an ambulance might carry out. Their job can be greatly aided if someone with the right training is the first person on the scene of a bad accident, for example, before they have time to respond and be at the scene themselves. When someone is badly injured with potentially life threatening injuries, it is vital that they receive the proper attention as quickly as possible. It is an awful feeling to stand there, not knowing what to do, and being afraid to do anything in case it is the wrong thing. That’s how most of us feel at these times, but not if we have undergone first person at the scene training.

The training can be undertaken at various centres up and down the country. Those who complete the training will receive certificates that state their capabilities in first responder matters. The training will not only show participants how to do certain procedures, but will also tell them why it is necessary. This level of understanding is one of the keys to successfully dealing with a medical emergency for those who find themselves first on the scene of an accident.

Conclusion

First on the scene training is suitable for those who work in hospitals or where care is provided, but who are not medically trained themselves. It is also suitable for anyone who works with children or young people. It is in fact, training that is suitable for anyone who has the responsibility of others, and first on the scene training is something that anyone can do, for we never know when we might be the first person on the scene.

Foot Pain – Different Causes And Symptoms Parted Into A Common Problem

Foot pain is a very common problem to many people at some point in their lives. The pain can affect any part of your foot and can be a great nuisance. The pain can be mild or extremely serious especially if it is as a result of injury or some chronic conditions. Mild foot pains can be treated at home but in a serious one, it is imperative to seek medical attention because if left untreated, the pain can lead to permanent damage or even disability. Most pain is caused by ill fitting shoes that force the feet to stay in unnatural shapes. Another cause of this kind of pain is high impact exercise.

The pain can start from toes, forefoot or hind foot. The reason why pain can begin at the toes is mostly because of shoes that do not fit you properly. Shoes that do not fit properly are a regular cause of pain. High heeled shoes especially concentrate pressure on the toes and can cause or aggravate toe problems. In some cases people who experience this kind of pain could be as a result of medical conditions that cause disturbance in the way a person walks. Such conditions include diabetes, leg or foot deformities, spinal problems, cerebral palsy among others. High impact exercises such as strenuous aerobics or jogging can cause injury to the foot and other parts of the leg.

Trauma whether acute or repeated on the foot is a great cause of foot pain. The trauma is usually as a result of forces outside of the body either directly impacting the body or forcing the body into a position where a single or many forces result in damage of the body structure. Poor biomechanical bone alignment also causes pain in the foot. Tying shoes very tightly can also lead to the pain or even bruising at the top of the foot. Tendon injury known as Achilles tendonitis is also a cause of pain in feet. An ill fitting shoe not only leads to foot pain but also blisters, calluses and bruising in the short term. Long term effects could be corns, bunions and joint and nerve irritation.

Fungi and bacteria can also contribute to pain in the foot. Diseases like Hansen disease and gout are also common factors contributing to pain conditions. Nerve disorders can cause a burning sensation or numbness. Another common cause foot pain is ingrown toenails. To prevent the pain it is advisable to wear shoes that are well cushioned and have a flexible area at the ball of the foot.

To get a well fitting shoe it is advisable to buy a pair in the afternoon or after a long walk. For severe conditions physicians and podiatrists may recommend orthotics or orthoses. These are insoles which are specially modeled from plaster cast of the patient’s foot. They come in three categories: rigid, soft or semi-rigid. It is advisable to consider over the counter insoles before seeking prescription orthotics. Orthopaedic footwear is also good in treating foot pain.
