Cool Cellular Scale Slider

I came across this link and liked it a lot. There are lots of sophisticated demonstrations out there and the original "Powers of 10" still works but I liked the simplicity of this one. Click on the image to go to the slider.

CH 1013 F09

Class,

Well, Power Outage Days has caught me unprepared. I did not copy emails to myself that had to do with our courses and they are only saved on the University server. As long as the power is down I have no access to those messages.

Could someone post the link to the chemistry vignettes in the comments to this post? If you cannot access your ABU email to find the link some of you gave me alternate email addresses and the link would be there or as a last resort if you could go through your web browser history you could find the link there.

Could someone email / forward me a copy of the last message that I sent to you so I can have a class set of email addresses? Send the message to my gmail account.

Thanks for anyone that is monitoring this blog and can help.

Prof. H.

Gender Issues

I stumbled on this link today and I sat and looked at it in wonder.LINK

What we have here is a cosmetics kit the size of fishing tacklebox. The possiblities are endless or as the ad says ... "Create over 60,000 looks with this stunning profusion of versatile colors. This chic, multi-tiered must-have comes complete with essential applicators." OK, I'm a guy and this is way out of my knowledge set but I have to ask what does it mean by "essential applicators"? My only response is to echo what the Dad says in the Luann comic "Thank-you Lord for making me a guy."




Science Students In the News

To be born in 1909 and to have lived to see all the things that has happened in the past century is a remarkable thing and should be celebrated. Imagine a life that started before quantum chemistry was sorted out or Gilbert Lewis first created his structural diagrams.

Congratulations, I hope you had a great day.
