I microwave water in order to make tea. After it is microwaved and I drop the tea bag(green tea) into the water, thick white foam builds up on the top.
What is it and should I worry about drinking it?
When you boil water in a cup in a microwave, it will often boil without forming bubbles, because unlike a kettle with a rough heating element or inner surface, a clean ceramic cup has few nucleation points. Nucleation points allow pockets of gas to form, which become bubbles as the water boils.
When you add the teabag to the hot water, you are essentially introducing thousands of nucleation points very quickly, and so lots bubbles form very quickly - your foam. You should exercise caution when heating water this way prior to adding a teabag, as if you heat it for too long it can superheat, and will boil explosively out of the mug when you add the teabag.
Tannins produce foam in tea, and also streams and rivers.
This may not be direct answer to your question about what the foam is made up of. But when it forms and how to avoid it.
This often happens if the water is not warm enough.
If you like to avoid it, you can try these steps:
The "white" foam is caused by denatured proteins in the tea leaves when heated. Same when you boil meat, eggs or fish.

This question has started to preoccupy since read Stevey's Google Platforms Rant by Steve Yegge. (The original post was removed.) Among many other things he asserts that usability is more important than security. Personally I agree that the safest way of keeping your data is yanking any cable out of your machine, completely powering it off and locking it away into a safe... Still, what do you think is the right mix of security measures vs usability?

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I hit this question constantly and almost always have to make adjustments during testing sessions.
The post is correct that if the product isn't usable or accessible, then there is no product since it'd be a digital rock. Though the argument I think is flawed a little bit.
Looking at the argument a different way...the user doesn't care what happens at a systems level after they click the "add to cart" button or even login. They only care that their assumed expectations (i.e. the correct product, at the correct price and quantity, is added to the cart) are met. To the majority of users that's I've talked to through tests and interviews, only consider security when there's something that triggers the response such as a Social Security Number or similar field, a SSL warning from the browser, or even a picture of a lock for example.
So at a broad level, usability and security are fairly stand alone since you can have a very secure system that is still usable. When they collide is when the user becomes aware of a security concern and you have to test to see how to best address the concerns of the system and the concerns of the user at the same time. There'll always need to be a compromise.
When compromises need to be made, I start with the following rules and then tweak after testing/review.
Again, all of this needs to be tested and reviewed for your scenarios; however, this is what I usually start with. It's amazing how many conflicts these 3 rules can smooth out for developers and users alike.
Don't forget that depending on the situation, better usability actually yields more security:

Map Plots Rising Seas Street by Jersey Street
SURF CITY, N.J.—While superstorm Sandy revealed the Northeast's vulnerability, a new map by New Jersey scientists suggests how rising seas could make future storms even worse.
The map shows ocean waters surging more than a mile into communities along Raritan Bay, engulfing nearly all of New Jersey's barrier islands and covering northern sections of the New Jersey Turnpike and land surrounding the Port Newark Container Terminal.
Such damage could occur under a scenario in which sea levels rise 6 feet—or a 3-foot rise in tandem with a powerful coastal storm, according to the map produced by Rutgers University researchers.
The satellite-based tool, one of the first comprehensive, state-specific maps of its kind, uses a Google-maps-style interface that allows viewers to zoom into street-level detail.
More From Metropolis
"We are not trying to unduly frighten people," said Rick Lathrop, director of the Grant F. Walton Center for Remote Sensing and Spatial Analysis at Rutgers, who led the map's development. "This is providing people a look at where our vulnerability is."
Still, the implications of the Rutgers project unnerve residents of Surf City, on Long Beach Island, where the map shows water pouring over nearly all of the barrier island's six municipalities with a 6-foot increase in sea levels.
"The water is going to come over the island and there will be no island," said Barbara Epstein, a 73-year-old resident of nearby Barnegat Light, who added that she is considering moving after 12 years there. "The storms are worsening."
To be sure, not everyone agrees that climate change will make sea-level rise more pronounced.
Politically, climate change remains an issue of debate. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has said Sandy showed the need to address the issue, while New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has declined to comment on whether Sandy was linked to climate change.
Scientists have gone ahead and started to map sea-level-rise scenarios in New Jersey, New York City and flood-prone communities along the Gulf of Mexico to help guide local development and planning.
Sea levels have risen by 1.3 feet near Atlantic City and 0.9 feet by Battery Park between 1911 and 2006, according to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
A serious storm could add at least another 3 feet, with historic storm surges—Sandy-scale—registering at 9 feet. So when planning for future coastal flooding, 6 feet or higher isn't far-fetched when combining sea-level rise with high tides and storm surges, Mr. Lathrop said.
NOAA estimated in December that increasing ocean temperatures could cause sea levels to rise by 1.6 feet in 100 years, and by 3.9 feet if considering some level of Arctic ice-sheet melt.
Such an increase amounts to 0.16 inches per year, but the eventual impact could mean that a small storm could "do the same damage that Sandy did," said Peter Howd, co-author of a 2012 U.S. Geological Survey report that found the rate of sea level rise had increased in the northeast.
In January, the New York City Office of Emergency Management contracted with scientists at the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, N.J., to plot sea-level rise on advisory FEMA flood maps released for the city.
By the end of the year, Stevens scientists intend to develop a map that charts potential sea levels in New York City up until 2080. "This is just the necessary, systemic approach," said Michael Bruno, dean of the Charles V. Schaefer Jr. School of Engineering and Science at Stevens, who is leading the effort. "We don't build our infrastructure to last 5 or 10 years. We build it to last a lifetime."
The New Jersey map stems from a $273,000 NOAA grant Rutgers received in 2009. The map has been tested by 60 coastal officials, and it was completed two weeks ago. Federal officials hope research institutions in other states undertake similar efforts.
"People are hungry for this data. The watershed moment was Hurricane Sandy," said Doug Marcy, a hazards specialist at the NOAA Coastal Services Center in Charleston, S.C.
The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection is directing homeowners rebuilding after Sandy to consult with FEMA's flood maps—which don't account for sea-level rise—not the Rutgers map. But DEP spokesman Larry Hajna said the Rutgers tool could help residents affected by Sandy visualize "why it's important to rebuild to the highest elevation possible."
Edward Striedl, a construction official for Keansburg, N.J., said he intended to bring the Rutgers map to the borough's planning board and local council to demonstrate the potential future flooding impacts on the Raritan Bay community. "We want to rebuild smarter," Mr. Striedl said. He estimated 1,900 out of the borough's 4,400 homes sustained damage from Sandy and 64 are being demolished. "We definitely don't want to do this again."

5 Facts About Woodstock The Hippies Don't Want You to Know
#2. The Logistics of Providing Health and Safety of 500,000 People Were Pretty Much Ignored
Imagine the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina: hot, humid, hundreds of thousands of people stranded without enough food or water. Now imagine that scenario, but with Joe Cocker flailing bluesily in the background. Congratulations. You've just imagined Woodstock.
Let's talk about numbers. From the beginning, Lang had planned on 250,000 coming to the festival. About three times the number of people who attended his largest concert to date, The Miami Festival. So the guy was in over his head from the get-go. Wallkill residents took a look at Woodstock Ventures sanitation plans for a crowd of 50,000 and shook their heads in bemused disgust. One resident summed it up best:
I was in the Army when divisions were 40,000 or 50,000 men. Christ almighty, the logistics involved in moving men around... I said at one point, "I don't care if it was a convention of 50,000 ministers, I would have felt the same way."
Knowing now that Lang secretly expected five times as many as he planned for, and that his potty plans were crap to begin with (get it?!) and that 10 times as many as he expected came, it's a wonder the event didn't end in concert goers flinging human feces at each other in a degraded tribal meltdown.
On top of the fact that there were -3 toilets for every 10,000 concert goers, a torrential rain started slushing that port-a-potty overflow into one nasty poop stew by Saturday.
This guy just relieved himself. Also, two rows back and to the right: Geraldo Rivera.
But the problems were bigger than just the collective digestive waste of 500,000 people. The traffic started slowly piling up outside Bethel on Tuesday, five days before the concert was to start. Thousands of cars were abandoned for up to 20 miles from Yasgur's farm, as kids gave up on driving and decided to hoof it to the festival. Local residents were trapped. Performers had to be helicoptered in (often in military copters, LOL IRONY.)
Pictured: Either a tragic massacre about to happen, or Carlos Santana about to land.
And remember that cute idea of selling tickets at the gate? What gate? The gate, fence, and all semblance of keeping Woodstock anything but an open invitation to anyone with warm breath in their bodies was plowed over early in the game.
So not only were concert goers, the surrounding townspeople, a mess of poop and a whole lot of dippy metaphysical rhetoric trapped at Woodstock by an army of abandoned vehicles, the promoters severely underplanned concessions for a three day romp on a farm. The original concession services ran out of food early, and its reinforcement truck got raided by unchill hippies (unchillipies?) on the way in to the concert.
Is this a flute or a hot dog? I'm going to taste it.
By Friday, THE FIRST DAY OF THE ACTUAL FESTIVAL, Woodstock Ventures was out of food. Then they had the gall to ask their confined neighbors for sandwich donations. About 750,000, if they didn't mind. Some locals felt so sorry for the hungry kids that they did what they could to help. Members of the Monticello Jewish Community Center started making sandwiches with 200 loaves of bread, 40 pounds of meat and two gallons of pickles. Food was being airlifted from in from a nearby air force base. It must have been cool to have your communist free-for-all ideals materialize in the form of pickle sandwiches prepared by your square neighbors.
#1. People Died
To be fair, only three died. Though that is two more than how many died at the helter skelter rapefest known as Woodstock '99.
Sacrificing babies during "Bawitdaba."
Let's break down the Woodstock death toll:
One burst appendix
One heroin overdose
One kid run over by a tractor
One of these deaths is not like the others. The burst appendix... that's just crap luck, right? Having an unnecessary organ explode in the middle of half a million people? That's like trying to having a baby during the Hebrew exodus from Egypt. Good luck getting some attention.
The overdose was an 18-year-old veteran of the Vietnam War, which sucks even more. He was given care at an impromptu clinic set up at a school outside Yasgur's farm (which was probably better than the OD's treated at the Freak Out tent, a makeshift infirmary where nurses and veteran trippers talked down twitchy, paranoid jokers who took the brown acid).
Hundreds of other medical cases treated involved kids showing up with severely cut feet. Others showed up temporarily blinded from staring at the sun. But that's probably an issue at any large gathering, right?
But the strangest death was the 17-year-old kid who was snoozing in the mud, cuddled up in his sleeping bag, oblivious to the noise and vibrations and exhaust of the tractor that ran over him in cold blood. The driver was never identified, but what are you going to do? It was muddy. He didn't know. Come on, you're driving a tractor through Woodstock, what are the odds you're going to run over a hippie?
Still, that kid died at Woodstock, unlike 497,000 of his generation who will most likely die of heart disease, complications stemming from Type 2 diabetes, dementia, inoperable tumors, elder neglect/abuse, suicide, freak tractor accidents, freak kidney failure accidents or AIDS. Which would you choose?

Hello! My question is about the realization of homology class.
The definition of the realizaion of homology class is: for manifold M and a homology class $z\in H_k(M)$, k is an integer. If we find a k-dimensional manifold N and a map $f:N \rightarrow M$ such that $f_* [N]=z$, $[N]$ is the fundamental class, then we call the homology class $z$ can be realized.
For this problem, Thom has the following theorem:
Thom[1954] For every manifold M, consider a interger coefficient homology class $z\in H_*(M)$, that there exist a interger $l$ and $lz$ can be realized.
My Question is Simple: Why we should add this interger $l$?
Thom's original paper is written by French and I cann't understand it. Recently, I am reading a paper by A.Gaifullin:Combinatorial Realisation of Cycles and Small Covers and the result is related to Thom's paper.

The 6 Most Famous People Ever Discovered While Hiding
Maybe the most destructive fantasy people have is that if they just stay at home and do nothing, they will be "discovered" by some agent or producer who'll sign them to a huge deal based on little or no effort. Let's face it: Almost all prominent people got where they are thanks to years or decades of grinding work.
Almost all. Those "amazing talent discovered at random" stories do happen, and sometimes to people who actively didn't want it to. It's like their world-altering ability was the result of some latent mutant power they were either completely unaware of or terrified to embrace, lest it should threaten to destroy the entire planet like Jean Grey in X-Men 3.
#6. Jerry Rice's Speed Was Noticed While He Was Running from the School Principal
Ron Wurzer/Getty Images Sport/Getty Images
Jerry Rice is possibly the greatest football player of all time. He is a Hall of Famer from the San Francisco 49ers and is essentially what you would get if a bunch of scientists joined forces in a government super lab to create the ultimate wide receiver. He is the all-time leader in receptions, touchdowns, and yards, won three Super Bowls, and holds almost every single record related to his position in the NFL. And the only reason he ever joined a football team was to get out of serving detention in high school.
Greg Campbell/Wikimedia
Or, as he tells his young fans, "I followed the rules so I could get an education."
One day while attending B.L. Moor High School back in 1978, Rice decided that going to class could eat a fart, so he elected to loiter in the halls instead. He was spotted by his assistant principal, because that's what happens when you cut class to wander aimlessly around the school instead of going to the roller rink or something, and when the principal called out to him, Rice took off.
A frantic sprint carried him past the office of the football coach, who noticed that Rice was embracing truancy with the incredible foot speed of a cheetah made of pure lightning. The principal eventually caught up with Rice and was ready to dole out some hellacious detention when the football coach convinced him to make Rice an offer -- either play football for the school, or lose an entire afternoon to detention, possibly even a whole Saturday. Wait, isn't that how Harry Potter got discovered for his Quidditch team?
Jon Schulte/Photos.com
Unlike football, we understand Quidditch.
Anyway, despite the fact that his parents had forbidden him from playing (his mother was afraid he would get hurt), Rice accepted the football option and quickly became the greatest player the school, and the world, had ever seen. He went on to college at Mississippi Valley State University, set 18 division records, and was drafted in the first round by San Francisco, where he would become arguably the greatest pro athlete in history.
Meanwhile, we're wondering why that assistant principal never got any NFL Combine invitations for managing to run down Jerry fucking Rice.
#5. Martha Stewart Was Discovered Hosting a Random Party for Her Husband
Fernando Leon/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
First of all, allow us to blow your minds by pointing out that Martha Stewart is 72, which makes her older than Christopher Walken and the same age as Nick Nolte.
David Edward/Hollywood.com
One of these is a gin-blossomed longshoreman and the other is a Time Lord.
In her seven decades of life on Earth (not counting her time spent in the Highlander realm walking among the other immortals), Stewart has had successful careers as a model, a stock broker, a home restorer, and a caterer, all before she published her first book and launched one of the biggest and most successful media empires in the history of the world. And she stumbled ass-backward into that totally by chance.
See, Stewart had pretty much retired. After working as a model in her teens for companies like Chanel, she married a lawyer and worked as a stockbroker in New York, possibly because her college degree was in architectural history and it is very difficult to parlay that into a career unless you are a fictional character who plunders mummy tombs.
"We've identified the prettiest building. Now to wait for unspeakable wealth."
She followed that up with a brief foray into home restoration before she and her husband moved to Connecticut, where she started up a small catering business, serving friends and small local organizations trays of trout almondine or whatever the hell it is she makes on her show. And that was pretty much supposed to be it for Stewart -- she'd settled into a nice, low-stress job organizing parties for people around town while her husband worked as the president of a New York publishing company and made the real money.
Then Stewart organized a party for her husband to congratulate him for having published a series of successful children's books, inviting his friends and colleagues to experience one of her patented Martha Stewart electric taste bud raves. Her catering stylez so impressed Alan Mirken, the head of a rival publishing company, that he hired her to write a series of cookbooks. The cookbooks steamrolled into magazine articles, television appearances on shows like Larry King Live and The Oprah Winfrey Show, and eventually her own magazine/TV show titled Martha Stewart Living, which became the cornerstone of the market-saturating media juggernaut that is Martha Stewart. Today she's worth a little over half a billion dollars, and that's after going to prison for insider trading.
Normally, of course, convicted businesspeople wind up impoverished.
What's even more crazy about Stewart's success as a famous homemaker is that it took a relative stranger working for another publishing company to approach her about writing a cookbook when her husband was a freaking publishing executive. Nice job paying attention to your wife's hobbies, dude.
#4. A NASCAR Driver Got His Start as an Extra in Days of Thunder
Nick Laham/Getty Images Sport/Getty Images
Even if you don't know anything about NASCAR, you have to assume it's like every other sport -- you grind it out in the bush leagues and eventually work your way up to the Daytona 500. Or in Bobby Hamilton's case, you blow NASCAR officials away by driving a race car in the background of a Tom Cruise movie.
Paige Foster/Photos.com
Not Eyes Wide Shut; blowing away there would have launched a different career.
1990's Days of Thunder, the Tom Cruise movie in question, was essentially Top Gun if all the jets were cars and nobody gave a shit. Or Talladega Nights if it was insufferably melodramatic (John C. Reilly actually appears in both films). Anyway, because Days of Thunder is about NASCAR, the filmmakers needed some way of gathering footage from actual NASCAR races that they could use for the various racing sequences in the movie. The only way to do it was to take "movie" cars (cars painted up to look like the ones the characters in the movie were supposed to be driving) and enter them into actual races. Renting out a bunch of real Winston Cup cars complete with professional drivers would've cost way too much money, and this was back in 1989, before the phrase "way too much money" was outlawed from Hollywood filmmaking.
The movie cars needed drivers, and three-time NASCAR champion Darrell Waltrip recommended his friend Bobby Hamilton to the production team. Hamilton was a driver but had never set foot in a Winston Cup car (the standard NASCAR racer you see in the movies). We repeat, he had never driven that type of car before, but he happily climbed behind the wheel of one for the Days of Thunder production team.
Lars Christensen/Photos.com
Hey, you drive one car, you've driven them all, right? Right?!
Hamilton was only supposed to drive the car around the track, surrounded by other cars, so they could get the type of dramatic footage they needed. What he did instead was drive the absolute shit out of that movie car and finish the race in fifth place. That's right -- Bobby Hamilton, who had never driven a Winston Cup car before and was given a barely qualifying hunk of metal to putter around the track and look good for the cameras, performed better than 95 percent of the real, professional drivers who were actually competing in the race.
Hamilton was actually winning the fucking thing until NASCAR and Paramount (the movie studio behind Days of Thunder) wisely decided to tell him to throttle back and let the professional racers win to avoid pissing in everyone's faces. NASCAR took notice of his ridiculously improbable performance, however, and he quickly became a full time Winston Cup driver for Tri-Star Motorsports. Hamilton wound up with four career Sprint Cup victories and more than $15 million in winnings over 15 years of racing. So, despite its best efforts, Days of Thunder wound up being a positive point in at least one person's career.

I'm taking a little liberty here and posting a very enlightening article about an activity most of us enjoy when the weather is hot.
Swimming – that is, at least jumping into a pool, stream or heading to the beach.
It can be a highly enjoyable activity, but obviously there's an danger – drowning.
As a LONG AGO lifeguard and water safety instructor, I found the following article and medical information profoundly enlightening.
Please - FOR THE SAFETY OF YOURSELF, FAMILY AND FRIENDS - I urge you to read and remember it.
I want all your water and swimming activities to be cherished as happy events.
The last time I checked -
Please realize non swimmers are not the only victims – sometimes 'good' swimmers either overestimate their abilities or get themselves in unforeseen trouble. Sometimes the unforeseen trouble is coming to the rescue of a non swimmer who is in trouble.
The process of drowning is not as obvious as you may think……
Drowning Doesn't Look Like Drowning
by Mario Vittone (May 3, 2010)
in Boating Safety,Water Safety
The new captain jumped from the deck, fully dressed, and sprinted through the water. A former lifeguard, he kept his eyes on his victim as he headed straight for the couple swimming between their anchored sportfisher and the beach. "I think he thinks you're drowning," the husband said to his wife. They had been splashing each other and she had screamed but now they were just standing, neck-deep on the sand bar. "We're fine, what is he doing?" she asked, a little annoyed. "We're fine!" the husband yelled, waving him off, but his captain kept swimming hard.
"Move!" he barked as he sprinted between the stunned owners. Directly behind them, not ten feet away, their nine-year-old daughter was drowning. Safely above the surface in the arms of the captain, she burst into tears, "Daddy!"
How did this captain know – from fifty feet away – what the father couldn't recognize from just ten? Drowning is not the violent, splashing, call for help that most people expect.
The captain was trained to recognize drowning by experts and years of experience. The father, on the other hand, had learned what drowning looks like by watching television. If you spend time on or near the water (hint: that's all of us) then you should make sure that you and your crew knows what to look for whenever people enter the water.
Until she cried a tearful, "Daddy," she hadn't made a sound. As a former Coast Guard rescue swimmer, I wasn't surprised at all by this story. Drowning is almost always a deceptively quiet event. The waving, splashing, and yelling that dramatic conditioning (television) prepares us to look for, is rarely seen in real life.
The Instinctive Drowning Response – so named by Francesco A. Pia, Ph.D., is what people do to avoid actual or perceived suffocation in the water.
And it does not look like most people expect.
There is very little splashing, no waving, and no yelling or calls for help of any kind.
To get an idea of just how quiet and undramatic from the surface drowning can be, consider this: It is the number two cause of accidental death in children, age 15 and under (just behind vehicle accidents) – of the approximately 750 children who will drown next year, about 375 of them will do so within 25 yards of a parent or other adult.
In ten percent of those drownings, the adult will actually watch them do it, having no idea it is happening (source: CDC). Drowning does not look like drowning – Dr. Pia, in an article in the Coast Guard's On Scene Magazine, described the instinctive drowning response like this:
1.Except in rare circumstances, drowning people are physiologically unable to call out for help. The respiratory system was designed for breathing. Speech is the secondary or overlaid function. Breathing must be fulfilled, before speech occurs.
2.Drowning people's mouths alternately sink below and reappear above the surface of the water. The mouths of drowning people are not above the surface of the water long enough for them to exhale, inhale, and call out for help. When the drowning people's mouths are above the surface, they exhale and inhale quickly as their mouths start to sink below the surface of the water.
3.Drowning people cannot wave for help. Nature instinctively forces them to extend their arms laterally and press down on the water's surface. Pressing down on the surface of the water, permits drowning people to leverage their bodies so they can lift their mouths out of the water to breathe.
4.Throughout the Instinctive Drowning Response, drowning people cannot voluntarily control their arm movements. Physiologically, drowning people who are struggling on the surface of the water cannot stop drowning and perform voluntary movements such as waving for help, moving toward a rescuer, or reaching out for a piece of rescue equipment.
5.From beginning to end of the Instinctive Drowning Response people's bodies remain upright in the water, with no evidence of a supporting kick. Unless rescued by a trained lifeguard, these drowning people can only struggle on the surface of the water from 20 to 60 seconds before submersion occurs.
(Source: On Scene Magazine: Fall 2006 (page 14))
This doesn't mean that a person that is yelling for help and thrashing isn't in real trouble – they are experiencing aquatic distress. Not always present before the instinctive drowning response, aquatic distress doesn't last long – but unlike true drowning, these victims can still assist in their own rescue. They can grab lifelines, throw rings, etc.
Look for these other signs of drowning when persons are in the water:
•Head low in the water, mouth at water level
•Head tilted back with mouth open
•Eyes glassy and empty, unable to focus
•Eyes closed
•Hair over forehead or eyes
•Not using legs – Vertical
•Hyperventilating or gasping
•Trying to swim in a particular direction but not making headway
•Trying to roll over on the back
•Appear to be climbing an invisible ladder.
So if a crew member falls overboard and everything looks OK – don't be too sure. Sometimes the most common indication that someone is drowning is that they don't look like they're drowning.
They may just look like they are treading water and looking up at the deck. One way to be sure? Ask them, "Are you alright?" If they can answer at all – they probably are. If they return a blank stare, you may have less than 30 seconds to get to them.
And parents – children playing in the water make noise. When they get quiet, you get to them and find out why.

The following is from a doctor about the process of drowning…
Dr. Heidi Dalton, chief of critical-care medicine at Phoenix Children's Hospital, explains what can happen when a child is drowning:
When infants or small children fall into the water, they have a strong reflex action to not get water into their lungs. They often will flail their arms and fight to resurface. They will flail to the point of exhaustion, to where they are forced to take a breath because their body senses they don't have enough oxygen. They experience a sensation of suffocating.
As they start to sink, the drive to breathe kicks in, probably the biggest response the body has. The children may gulp water. They will pass out. Losing consciousness comes from not having enough oxygen circulating in the blood. Young children tend to store less oxygen in the bloodstream, so they may pass out more quickly than those children who are older.
As the brain and blood continue to be deprived of circulating oxygen, cardiac arrest can occur. Some children will have a respiratory injury from inhaling water, but generally, those who have drowned don't have lungs filled with water.
When someone is pulled from the water, you have to reinstate the body's response to need to breathe. When the brain has been deprived of oxygen, it has lost the sensation to know the body has to keep breathing. In CPR, the brain says, "Hello, there is blood coming to me,"Daltonsays. The amount of time underwater does not determine whether a child will live or die. The fate of the child depends on multiple factors, including how long he or she was without oxygen and whether the heart had stopped.
A final Oscar note -
I do not intend this safety information to alarm you. Instead, this article should make you more alert in your swimming and water activities and more confident about recognizing the possible threats to your water safety as well as to others.
Try to always swim in areas watched by qualified lifeguards and try to swim with a friend. DO NOT HESITATE to inform a lifeguard when someone appears to be in distress. If needed, INFORM the lifeguard to your and your children's limitations.
See you at the pool!

Incredible India
perfection !
wow! I am fascinated about India and hindu culture.
I would like to live there someday.
beautiful pic. captures the spirit of india
Gosh! This is my home town, Ajmer, Rajasthan. As a catchment of the surrounding Aravilli Hills, this lake is a pleasant reprieve in the middle of an often parched desert.
Incredible India !
The cow is priceless :)
Holiness, the brand of India to be seen in this picture of Puskar ghat where a cow , birds , traditional village girl and boys the serene sky and clear water are part and parcel of .
The best part is the cow chilling at the end of the pier. Fabulous.
A lovely photo Giancarlo. Congratulations and with the birds adding the peace and tranquility to the photo.
So peaceful and beautiful:)
Great shot!!!! Congratulations!
wonderful sight view
Amazing view!
Fantastic view!
A fantastic shot. Congratulations on being the "Photo of the Day". You deserve it.
The lazy cow in the background is the best. After feasting on every corner of the image my gaze lands lazily on the cow :)
Beautifull mood, but the horizon need to correct.
Love this picture! Beautiful backdrop of hills, lake and blue sky with birds and the lady adding life to this pic..
It looks like a painting, everything at right place :)
love that photo :)
the blue sky ,the mountain the lady and the children every detail is in the right position and above all the flying birds.great
cool, awesome photo!
loved the photo
Great photo
Veru Nice Art work of the person behind the camers.
My eyes are drawn to those mountains and the birds, I love it.
Pristine, beautiful, clean.
true Story. Nice photo
You must not take pictures in the holy place in India, in all the ghate you can see a sign in english where say that it is not allow take pictures there.
this picture is notorious like biggie and tupac
I know that Pushkar lake is in India, but where I'm not sure. The photograph is really good, with a clear day to take it in. The indian woman in her colorful cotten sari is so typical of of what one sees all over the country there, Also the cow taking a rest some distance away, is too a common sight. The houses,hills and flying birds, make for a good clear day picture. j.e.s. p.s. I think those are cocoanuts at her feet........
Nice shot
Simply Serene !!!
Lovely, inspiring and fascinating!
Nice view
Congratulation ...
Nice shot at a good moment .
This is a beautiful moment.
que maravilla, I can almost feel the warmth's air

Part 4: Working on the Rear DiffWritten by on September 1, 2002 Making an 8-3/4 a perfect 10 by closing an open differential with the help of National Drivetrain
Building a heavy-duty rearend for your Mopar used to mean either buying a Sure Grip 83/4 or going for the famed Dana 60. Often, due to cost or availability, neither is realistic. Fortunately, there is a low-buck solution to maximizing rearend traction.
We contacted National Drivetrain and uncovered all the hardware needed to turn our open differential into a genuine locker without breaking the bank.
A locker? That's right. National Drivetrain has the parts you need to give your red light brawler all the traction it craves.
Our axle assembly featured a 741 casing (which we upgraded to a 742 during the course of this buildup) with an open differential and 2.76 gears--definitely a weak link for anything other than casual highway cruising. To fix that little problem, we received from National Drivetrain a 3.91 ring-and-pinion set. So much for the torque-multiplication dilemma. To transfer that torque equally to both axle shafts, we selected a Powertrax Lock-Right unit.
The Lock-Right replaces your existing spider gears with an automatic locking gear set. This is a great upgrade for do-it-yourselfers who want to keep their street car...well...streetable, but are looking for a little straightline advantage.
It works something like this: During typical driving conditions, a Lock-Right-enhanced differential allows your axles to turn at different speeds (or differentiate), much like an open or limited-slip differential gear set. It's a bit clicky-sounding during sharp, low-speed cornering (when the meshed teeth overrun each other), but this is perfectly natural. Since the unit is spring-loaded, under straightline operation (both axles turning in unison) the axles are continually locked together. That's the key to full power transfer to the rear wheels and a solid hole shot.
Installing a Lock-Right is a fairly straightforward job, and the best part is that it doesn't require you to replace the differential or go through the tedious gear setup process. All you need to do is replace the existing spider gears with the Lock-Right. If, however, you need to change gears like we did, a complete gear setup sequence will be necessary.
The Lock-Right installation instructions, included with the kit, are easy to follow, but you may want to have a service manual for the rearend you are working on. With the exception of a dial indicator and magnetic base (if you're changing gears), the required tools to install the Lock-Right are probably sitting in your garage.
This particular rearend housing came with the engine we bought for our Valiant project. It is an A-Body rear, complete with big bolt pattern axles, although the open differential and highway gears definitely needed help.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Take a small punch and index one bearing cap to the housing so you canreturn the caps to their original position during installation. NOTE: Ifyou are changing the gears, remove the pinion nut with an impact wrenchbefore you remove the differential from the casing. The nut is torquedto 240 lb-ft, so without the differential in place you cannot hold thepinion gear in order to loosen the pinion nut.Now you can lift out the differential. Unlike the 81/4 rear, with the83/4 you must remove the ring gear in order to remove the thrust blockshaft. If you are changing gears, knock the pinion gear out with arubber mallet.In order to remove the spider gears you must first remove the roll pin that holds the thrust block shaft in place. Do this by tappingit out with a small drift pin.With the center section empty, score the bearing race with a cut-offwheel. Next, break it off with a chisel blow to relieve the tension, andtap the race off. NOTE: Be careful not to cut into the center sectionwith the cut-off wheel when scoring the race.According to the Powertrax instructions, place the two tapered outersections of the Lock-Right unit into the carrier, then slide in themiddle sections by lining up the machined grooves with the two outersections.
If you are replacing the ring and pinion, file any burrs on the face(flat side) of the ring gear that may keep it from resting flat againstthe differential. Also, lightly chamfer the inner edge of the ring gearwith the file (just enough to remove the sharp edge). Using the suppliedbolts, we bolted the ring gear to the carrier (remember, the bolts areleft-hand thread.) Apply LockTite to the threads and torque to 55 lb-ft.To press the bearing onto the carrier, we used a piece of thin-wall pipe(ours was an old round-style jackstand with a removable center thathappened to be the same size as the inner bearing race). When installingthese or any bearings, make sure you apply pressure to the bearing race,not the basket or cage.With our casing cleaned and painted, we installed the pinion races. Ifyou do not have a bearing and a race installer, use a brass punch toseat the race into the pinion bore without damaging it.We used the same piece of jackstand to install the larger bearing ontothe pinion gear. If your old pinion had any spacer washers, replace thembefore installing the bearing. Hopefully, this will get you close to theright depth setting on the gear. Ours had no spacers, so we hoped forthe best.Since we don't often do this, and we didn't have a pinion depth gauge,we'll show you how to set up the gears without one. Put the pinion gearin the housing, then install the front (small) bearing (be sure to oilthe bearings before you install them). When the bearing is far enough onthe pinion shaft to start the yoke nut, tighten the nut to 240 lb-ft. Ifyou have the proper bearing preload, you should have some resistancewhile turning the yoke with a torque wrench. A new bearing should be setat 20-30 lb-in, while reused bearings are set to 0-15 lb-in. If it istoo tight, add shims. If too loose, remove some.Install the carrier into the housing to adjust the backlash. With thecenter section in the housing, install both bearing caps in theiroriginal location (you did mark the caps, right?). Snug the cap boltsfinger tight only. Put the bearing adjusters (arrow) on each side andhand tighten to remove bearing endplay. You may need to tap the bearingcaps with a small hammer to align the threads for the bearing adjusters.Now torque one bolt on each cap to 85-90 lb-ft. Mount the dial indicatorand magnetic base to the gasket face of the housing and let theindicator contact the ring gear directly on any tooth face. Tighten bothbearing adjusters equally until .0005-. 0015-inch backlash* is achieved.Next, install the bearing adjuster lock on the bearing cap on the sideopposite the teeth of the ring gear. Now, turn the gear side adjusterone hole at a time until backlash* measures between .006 and .008inches. Tighten the other two bearing cap bolts to the same torquespecs.*Backlash is the distance measured when you move the ring gear back andforth until it touches a tooth on the pinion gear without moving thepinion gear.After applying marking compound to the ring gear, you can see that thepattern is not where it should be. This pattern means we needed to addpinion shims. This is solved by tearing it all apart and adding theshims between the big bearing and the pinion gear. When adding spacersunder the big bearing, include the same thickness spacer washer(s) underthe small bearing to maintain proper bearing preload. When you get thispattern correct, you are ready to install the casing into the rearhousing. Next, replace the axles and the brake assemblies and installthe proper lubricant to complete the job.Since our rearend had been sitting idle for a good while, the brakeassemblies rusted, so we contacted Performance Suspension Technologiesand ordered new brake drums, shoes, and wheel cylinders. PST also hasall the springs and retainers needed. Remember, when you install brakeshoes, the longer shoe goes on the rear of the assembly. Also, make surethe brake adjuster is in position so you can turn the star wheel downfrom the outside of the backing plate if you need to.

Real dragons spurt no fire, have no need to fly and cast no magic spells. And still, one look from them might render you speechless. These komodos, the real life dragons, are a sight indeed. Gigantic, the lizard-like creatures are about two or three meters in length. They can easily weigh about 165 kilograms. Despite of their sheer size and appearance, they are not active hunters. What makes them intimidating is the fact that they are a patient predator. In the wild, they stalk a victim, usually a weak or injured one. One bite and that's what it usually takes. After following the victim for a while, sometimes up to several days' time, the komodos will devour the dying prey.
The Komodo Dragon (Varanus komodoensis) is an endangered species which can only be found in the Komodo National Park (KNP) in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). Because of the unique and rare nature of this animal, KNP was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986.
The park includes three major islands, Komodo, Rinca and Padar, and numerous smaller islands together totaling 603 km2 of land. The total size of Komodo National Park is presently 1,817 km2. Proposed extensions of 25 km2 of land (Banta Island) and 479 km2 of marine waters would bring the total surface area up to 2,321 km2.At least 2500 Komodos live in this area. Large dragons are usually three meters long and weigh up to 90 kg. Their habitat has beautiful panoramic views of savannas, rain forests, white beaches, beautiful corals, and clean blue seas. In this area, you can also find horses, wild buffalo, deer, wild boar, snakes, monkeys, and various types of birds.
KNP has a rich and amazing underwater sea biotica. Divers claim that Komodo waters are one of the best diving sites in the world. It has fascinating underwater scenery. You can find 385 species of beautiful corals, mangrove forests, and seaweeds as a home for thousands of fish species, 70 types of sponges, 10 types of dolphins, 6 types of whales, green turtles and various types of sharks and stingrays.
Or you can do some diving activities in Komodo Island. Go this link if you want to see more information about it.
Watch the video about Komodo and Labuan Bajo:
Similar with those available in Loh Liang (Komodo Island), Loh Buaya (Rinca Island) also has simple guest houses offering few rooms. A luxurious hotel with limited capacity is currently being built in Loh Liang. Most tourists visiting Rinca Island don't stay overnight (they come from Labuan Bajo and stay in the hotels in Labuan), while those coming to Komodo Island usually stay in their rented motorboats. Nearly all motorboats have cabins and bed rooms. Large motorboats usually have good bed rooms.
Ranger's Houses - Komodo Island The new renovated ranger's houses in eco style accommodation, with modern facilities featuring with private bathroom, limited electric power supply, dining. Only few step to the beach of Lohliang. Ranger's houses becomes an alternative accommodation offer to visitors whom for some reasons are not able to sleep on boat. Puri Komodo Resort - Batu Gosok Sets on the northwest tip of Flores island of Indonesia, this location well known with Batu Gosok, secluded peninsula. 250.000 square meters of land hideaway guaranteed to thrill snorkelers, divers and adventurers. A magnificent secluded cove with over 1.000 meters of white sandy beach and a wooden jetty protruding 450 meters into the coral rich turquoise waters. Opulent sea gardens in colors of purple, yellow, blue and fuchsia blend with brightly colored tropical fish drifting aimlessly amongst the coral. Bajo Komodo Eco Lodge Has developed environmentally friendly buildings with the use of solar power for hot water, an extensive rain water storage system, and the use of a biological sewage treatment plant where all waste water is returned to the gardens through irrigation. The Bajo Eco Lodge is under control of Iniradef non profit organization where to participate in developing the human resources on the area and also building the natural environment conservation. This program have fully accepted by locals.

Boat Accommodation depart from Bima Larger boat with cabin, dining facilities and standard safety equipment available for those who are travel to Komodo via Bima.

Your feet will be your trusted companion on this island. Good thing most people never leave home without them. When you wish to see these animals in their natural habitat, you have to walk to the hills nearby (paths have been designated). On Komodo Island, you have to climb Mount Ara (538 meters above sea level) for three to four hours. On Rinca island, you have to trek for about one and a half hours. If you are lucky, you can see Komodos attacking prey, fighting, or even employing their mojoes along the way, as illustrated by this picture on the left. If that's too wild for you, you can try to spot a group of deers, buffaloes or wild horses.
By daily flights from: Bali - Labuan Bajo/Komodo Airport - Bali (each 1.5 hours)
Everyday, there are two to three flights from Bali to Labuan Bajo by Transnusa, IAT (Indonesia Air Transport), and Merpati. In addition, there is a twice a week flight from Kupang. Inter-island motorboats from Sape in West Nusa Tenggara are also available everyday (when the weather permits), and the Pelni ship from Bali and Lombok makes a stop over here every two weeks.
Land transportation from the East (Flores mainland e.g., Ruteng, Bajawa, Ende and Maumere) is also available. If you are interested in making a long trip in Flores, you can start from Maumere to the west i.e., to Moni, Kelimutu, Ende, Bena, Bajawa, Ruteng and lastly Labuan Bajo (Komodo) or vice versa.
The site www.floreskomodo.com offers more detailed information on how to reach the Flores areas.

No Fuelin'Written on August 12, 2002 The benefits of a new gas tank can't always be seen
It's not high tech, it's not pretty, it's not 'trick,' in fact, you very rarely see it, but without it you are fooling yourself if you think you are going to make it down the road--and back home again! The gas tank isn't a sophisticated piece of hardware and you will probably rarely work on it accept for those obligatory repairs or to make a modification. Keep in mind, it's as important a piece of low-tech equipment there is, yet it will make all the difference in the world when it comes to your truck going anywhere.
On our Project Super Sub working on the gas tank was an after thought, in fact, if it wasn't for all the other work on the underside of the chassis it may never have been addressed. Our '72 Suburban was equipped with an aftermarket gas tank that held 45 gallons of gasoline. Yep, 45 gallons, that is approximately 315 pounds of gas when filled plus the inherent weight of the tank at nearly 100 pounds. In the greater scheme of things that's roughly 8 percent of the Subs total bodyweight. Again, it may not seem that much but it becomes apparent with all that weight hanging out behind the rear axle. Simple driving chores such as driving around town, making lanes changes, (hang on) a quick turn, or any abrupt motion and the 'tail wagging the dog' scenario comes to mind. The truck was a handful during the most mundane of driving, especially when it was about half-full and all that gasoline would get to sloshing back and forth. There had to be a fix.
A quick stop by Brothers in Corona, California, lead us to a fix that also proved to give us some options for modification we wanted to make to the truck later down the road--so to speak. Brothers offers a full line of gas tanks from custom to factory fit. There's a custom stainless steel or aluminum model for under bed installation on the '47-55 (first generation) or '55-59 pickups in a 20-gallon capacity, as well as '47-53 Suburban and panel trucks in a stock location as well as the '68-72 pickups in an under bed model that fills through the bed floor. According to the staff at Brothers, a tune-port injection fuel pump can be added to any of these custom tanks.
There's also a factory fit style for '69-72 Blazer's and Suburban's that holds 21 gallons, the one we selected, as well as new mounting straps which are offered as optional equipment. The tank is made from a polymer plastic thereby offering a lightweight replacement for an original tank. The gas tank package that we opted for (PN GTPDO72) included the tank, the mounting straps, and a sending unit. In our case we know that at some point in the future we will need to plumb the tank with a return line (fuel injected engine) and an external electric fuel pump to supply the EFI.
There are also '47-72 gas tank sending units from AC Delco that are sold by Brothers along with '47-72 gas caps (locking and non locking), a '47-72 gas tank filler grommet, a '47-72 gas tank seals, and a '60-72 gas tank covers. In other words, one-stop shopping for your gas tank needs.
How involved is the process--not very. Probably the single biggest thing to remember is to have as little gasoline in the old tank as possible when it comes time to switch. This makes the job a great deal easier and safer.
The Brothers factory fit tank that we selected was capable of using all of the factory fuel lines, filler tube, sending unit, and electrical connections (sending unit). Our swap took little over an hour from start to finish. The hardest part was getting the old tank out as its mounting points went through the factory wooden floor necessitating the removal of the interior carpeting to get at the mounting bolts. The Brothers tank is held in position via factory gas tank-mounting straps with several J-bolts and a couple of standard nuts and bolts.
Follow along with the photos that show both our Suburban and a '67 pickup with a tank mounted re-arward and under the bed getting the treatment. This is a very easy Saturday afternoon project that can yield lots of benefits down the road--and home again.

Our '72 Suburban had an aftermarket tank fitted to it. We found this to be way too much gasoline and tank weight to drive around town and still have the truck handle well. Time to remove.Remember to detach all of the existing fuel lines, electrical connections, filler pipes, etc...before dropping the tank. Also, remember now is the time to check these components out and, if necessary, change them.Yep, first step is to remove the gasoline, good idea to make sure the tank has as little fuel as possible in it when the emptying process begins.The AC Delco gas tank-sending unit is available from Brothers separately and dialed into the particular truck, engine, and tranny combo that you have. In our case we needed a '72 unit for a V-8 with an automatic (PN GTSV872).Removing the old tank wasn't difficult but it did necessitate removing the interior carpeting to get at the mounting bolts. We then had to fill the holes drilled in the factory wooden floor with a silicone to seal.The lock ring assembly starts by bolting the base plate (right) into position. The actual lock ring (left) sandwiches the gas tank sending unit to the base plate.The rubber O-ring is critical as it seals the sending unit preventing any leakage. It mounts between the sending unit and gas tank.You can use straight fittings on the side of the tank but you will need a 90 degree fitting for use on the top of the tank--necessary for clearance between tank and flooring of truck.
The positioned brass fitting will eventually be outfitted with a rubber hose that will serve as the tank's vent system when filling with gasoline.These holes come in the Brothers tank and accommodate the filler neck (far right), vent hose (center), and return line (left) ideal for a fuel injected engine application.Remember the 90 degree fitting we spoke about earlier? Here it's in position on the top of the tank and linked to a rubber hose which is part of the emission system on the '72 truck.Since we aren't using the return line in-tank mounting point we have placed a plug to seal off the hole until future use.The tank mounting straps are bolted to the frame with conventional nuts and bolts. From here the straps are formed around the bottom of the tank and then to the other side...J-bolts are used on one side, allowing the straps to be cinched tight holding the tank in position. There are lips on the tank that position it between the truck frame rails.The tank, while holding 21 gallons, takes very little space underneath and makes a tremendous difference in the handling of the truck.

text: Continuing on with the Rocket Monkeys series of characters, here is the guy behind the scenes. This lesson will show you "how to draw Dr. Chimpsky", step by step. This pasty looking fella is responsible for all the assignments handed down to the Rocket Monkeys. Even though he looks like the Big Lebowski he is definitely a laid back guy that is bossy and full of brains. Who ever thought that a show based on monkeys in space would be a hit? I guess people are highly entertained by animals, maybe that's why folks enjoy drawing Rocket Monkeys characters. Anyways, have fun with this lesson folks, I will be back soon with more lessons for you all so stay tuned in.
