Radiation warning level in japan.

The Radiation warning level has been raised from 5 to 7.
This may not mean much if you don't have any background with it but ill try to explain.
the three mile island incident Link was a rank 5.
The Chernobyl disaster Link was and is the only other rank 7 disaster in our history.

The scientists who raised the level say that the amount of radiation is not as much as the Chernobyl incident however another reactor caught fire this morning and they believe it is time to raise it to full scale nuclear disaster.

50 Years of Yuri!

As you may know! or for those of you who don't google have a lovely doodle today commemorating the 50 year aniversary of the flight of Yuri Gagarin, if you don't know who this man is check out our Previous post Link about the tragic story of Yuri Gagarin's friend Vladamir Komarov, and the heroic tale of Yuri Gagarin himself. The first man into space to return successfully!
So I ask you to say the heroic chant of lift off with me "Poyekhali" or in english "Here we go"

And let us not forget his famous words from space
"I see no god up here"

Theory of Life in the Universe.

Adrian Kent of the Perimeter Institute in Waterloo, in Ontario, has come up with a new theory as too why we have yet to find extra-terrestrial life.
Kent's idea is that in terms of survival of the fittest (which is the commonly accepted theory of evolution), on a universal scale, the quietest species are the ones that thrive in the universe.

For example, we where unable to detect (and therefore destroy) microbial life for a very long time, them remaining quiet and undetectable left us (on the outside the more intelligent species) unable to do anything about them.

So on a galactic scale if a species can go relatively unnoticed by more dominant species then they are less likely to be taken over.. And so therefore according to survival of the fittest will continue to thrive.

My longstanding theory is that we are the first, there has always had to be a "First" and I believe that we are them, I only subscribe to this theory because it makes me feel special, like I am a pioneer.. but when I bring myself back to being a sane and happy human, I like to go grander and say that somewhere out there.. in the great expanse of space and time, there is a species like us, but thousands of years advanced, waiting to welcome us into our sci-fi fantasy.

Id just like to add to this post something that my friend mentioned after reading my draft of this..

He said that most scientists and even regular humans view first contact as being the most important date in the timeline of mankind, he also pointed out that the Gregorian calendar starts at 0 based on an the most important date to the Gregorian's (Gregorian's being Christians) and that the 0 is the year of Christs (birth or execution not sure here) but at any rate, he believes that the calendars should should logically start from 0 again, with 0 being first contact. so BC will be before contact and AC will be after contact.

What are your thoughts leave us a comment below, what do you think about alien life??

Doctor doctor!

I somehow think my doctor forged her medical license...


Now I am not a medical professional, and I in no way disrespect how difficult the job can be however let me tell you a story...


I went to the doctor after my accident and she said too me.
You have whiplash
(Ok I do have whiplash)
And neurological resonance... now I get what she was TRYING too say, but that phrase doesn't even show up in a google let alone in a medical journal, maybe I have come to expect my doctors too be more precise, but what she was trying too say was that im in shock or something like that and my mind keeps replaying it (hence why I constantly smell airbag fumes and am getting headaches)..

Its kind of odd too be honest... I feel fine and then all of a sudden i get dizzy and fall over and all I can smell is aerosol..

I think maybe I should get a new doctors opinion... My doctor in the past is known too have said things like, "Eh it just needs a bandaid" That particular occassion I still have a very large scar across my leg.. :S

Or the time I went to her with Onychomycosis (thats a fungal infection of the toenail to us normal people) she told me that it was cosmetic damage from me breaking my foot and that it would never be the same again..
Albeit it was cosmetic damage, and I did get it after breaking my foot.. she could have said a simple cream would have fixed it.. not let me live in embarrassment for over a year!

What about you guys? Do you always trust what the doctor tells you?? Or do you have horror stories of your own?

They say laughter is the best medicine also so leave me some jokes in the comments!

Whole world.

Seems like the whole world is stopping me posting.

I was in a car crash two days ago, no deaths, but I now me and my buddy have severe whiplash, a tree has been killed and his car is now 5 grand in debt.

Wooooooo.

Anyway ill keep you updated on whats going on.. but realistically i may be afk for a while.

I love you all and thank you for your support!

Mohawk.

I know this seems like an unrelated thing to my usual science posts, but here we go.

I have been sporting a mohawk for a few years now.. 3 or 4 perhaps.

Yep thats me, last year.. my mohawk is now a bit longer and I style it thicker but you get the idea.

My problem is,

I see many people posting advice on how to do mohawks or ideas on how to style them correctly.

Well with a few years experience I wish to shed my light on the situation.

I dont have pictures to go along with this, ill add them if I find a way to take them..

Step 1.)

Get some good hair spray, I pick mine up from coles its called schwarzkopf extra hold.. I pick it up fairly cheap but any extra strength hair spray will do.

Now from here there are a few options..

The correct way,
the incorrect but easy way,
the big way.

So the correct way,

Grab a comb and and brush your hair, then go to the middle of your hair, back of your head area.
Grab your hair with the comb and hold the hair up.

Spray the base of your hair, including holding the spray can against your hair spraying into the middle, and spray all around, continuing to hold the hair up.

Now use a hair dryer (blow dryer) on high heat with low blowing power. Dry it!
Then repeat on that same section, combing up, spraying drying.
now move onto the next section of hair, repeat.

You keep doing that until your hair has shape and volume. More hairspray more drying.


Done!


The wrong (but easy) way

Brush your hair

now spray your hair and use a straightener to pull your hair up and straighten..

Continue to do this to the rest of your hair..

NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE

You will break straighteners doing this.. allot of them, proper cleaning of them is required to extend life but you will cake them over...

So use cheap straighteners..

This method is the easiest, and takes the least time especially with hair as long as mine.


Finally the big way!

This is my new favorite way.

Its the same as the first way I mentioned, accept instead of using a comb I use a brush..

This took a huge amount of practice but it is doable..

It looks massive!



BONUS!

LIBERTY SPIKES

I have discovered an easy way to do liberty spikes,
Get about 7 rubber bands, 1 for each spike you wish too do..

now part your hair using the rubber bands, part them into spikes.

Now, grab each spike held by the rubber band at the bottom and pull up just enough to lift your scalp, spray into the middle of your hair, and then around your hair.. Followed by blow drying,
slowly lift the rubber band to the middle of the spike, and continue to spray and dry, making sure to keep the band holds tight..

Spray and dry until your spike is strong enough to stand up without you holding it anymore.
then do all the other spikes..

At this point you will have the bottom of each spike done and the top not done..

Fun fact, Do the top now, remembering to take the rubber band off before proceeding.

Easy peasy!

Enjoy!


Anyway, if you guys have better ways too do it I am all ears.

Minecraft and Uranium.

So its been 3 Days since I started playing minecraft again.. I haven't done anything other than try to build my own minecraft periodic table of elements.. Its hard work but ill get there.
Anyway to tide you over..
What is your favorite element and why?

Mine is Uranium.. Simply because it has so many uses and so many different types of it.

Uranium comes in many colors, Gray (rock form), Yellow (Yellow Cake), Green (Ionized bars)
And is very pretty, and can be amazingly deadly.

It can be used to make bullets, (Depleted uranium shells)


It glows when subjected to UV light,

It used to be used as a dye when building large buildings as it dyes things yellow.. This has been dated back too the year 79 CE.

And finally as weaponized Uranium. as seen below

I love you Uranium.
