Old Poems

I found some old poems of mine that i had written and i was going to add some of them on here but they are all so depressing that i dont want to add them as it isint how i feel now.

Below is the only one i could find that seems even a little nice

Cars rushing past
But the night is still
not many sounds
not even a twill
for the sun hasent risen
no birds singing out
to welcome the day
of beauty and bounce

World of Warcraft, how gold is made to sell

Playing World of Warcraft you often see people trying to sell gold to players in the game, i found this article which says how some of the gold

A 54-year-old former prison guard, was jailed for three years for illegallypetitioning the Chinese government to crack down on corruption. By day,Liu was forced to labour in the Jexi labor camp in northeast China, breaking rocks in coal mines, carving chopsticks and toothpicks out of planks of wood,and assembling car seat covers.

But after hours, he had more work to do "gold farming." Liu says prisoners are forced to buildup credits in online games such as World of Warcraft The credits are then sold to gamers overseas for real cash.

Prison bosses made more money forcing inmates to play games than they do forcing people to do manual labour," Liu told the Guardian. "There were 300 prisoners forced to play games. They worked 12-hour shifts in the camp. It was heard they could earn 5,000-6,000rmb [£470-570] a day. The prisoners didn't see any of the money though.

Stagnant Water

Again my mind has been working overtime this time to do with why when you see water that has been sitting around for awhile has a skin on it

First i had to find out what the skin was and well its just simple old Algae.

In general algae can be referred to as plant-like organisms that are usually photosynthetic and aquatic, do not have true roots, stems, leaves, vascular tissue and have simple reproductive structures.
They are distributed worldwide in the sea, in freshwater and in moist situations on land. Most are microscopic, but some are quite large.
For Algae to grow it needs a mixture of temperature, humidity, sunlight, and nutrients (food).

Algae of course isint dangerous it just looks and can small bad.

While searching i found that there are 8 different types of Algae

• Diatoms: unicellular organisms of the kingdom protista, characterized by a silica shell of often intricate and beautiful sculpturing
• Chlorophyta: division of the kingdom of protista consisting of the photosyntetic organism commonly known as green algae.
• Euglenophyta: small phylum of the kingdom protista, consisting of mostly unicellular aguatic algae.
• Dinoflagellata: large group of flagellate protistis. Some species are heterotrophic, but many are photosynthetic organisms containing chlorophyll.
• Chrysophyta: large group of eukariotyes algae commonly called golden algae, found mostly in freshwater.
• Phaeophyta: phylum of the kingdom protista consisting of those organisms commonly called brown algae.
• Rhodophyta: phylum of the kingdom protista consisting of the photosynthetic organisms commonly known as red algae.
• Cyanobacteria: phylum of prokaryotic aguatic bacteria that obtain their energy through photosynthesis. They are often referred to as blue-green algae

So now you know what that skin or slime whenever you see stagnant water, another thing i dont have to wonder about anymore.

Succinctly Yours – Week 11

Succinctly Yours – Week 11

I thought i would try again at writing a short story from Grandma Goulash page, cant harm me and well as ive said before it can be fun trying to think of something to write to the picture

These are the rules

Use the photo as inspiration for a story of 140 characters OR 140 words. It doesn’t have to be exactly 140, just not more.

Want more challenge? Use the word of the week in your story. This part is optional.

This weeks word is Ponder

This is what i wrote

Here you see two men and a women

Which of the men do you think is the one to

ponder if the women’s skirt would go down as low as that chart

Why do we feel sleepy after eating?

I remember years ago i was talking to this guy who was a personal trainer and i asked him why we feel sleepy after eating and he was saying how some enzyme does something in your body but that's all i could really remember about it

As i like learning stuff i of course went and searched the net to find out this is what i found out

This is the simple reason why you get tired

When you eat, your brain diverts energy towards digestion, sending a bunch of red blood cells over to help break down the food and carry the nutrients all over your body!

Because so many blood cells are helping out the intestines, the rest of your body takes this time to slow down and relax.
As a result, you might feel tired, since your brain doesn't have as many blood cells to help it out at the moment — more energy used for digesting food means less energy can be used for running around!


Now for the more technical version

1. Enzymes help break down food consumed to make it into smaller units so it can be absorbed by the body. Aside from this they act as catalyst to make something happen.

There are three types of enzymes that are needed by the body to digest food.

• First are digestive enzymes that are secreted by the salivary glands, stomach, pancreas, endocrine cells and small intestine.
  
• Second, enzymes found in raw foods are consumed.
  
• And third, the metabolic enzyme that functions as catalyst to produce energy, remove dirt and toxins.
  

While eating, these body enzymes have to work very hard to digest all the food we take int. Because it is considered hard work, our body feels tired and exhausted so we feel drowsy and tired

2. There is a combining or mixing of inappropriate food.

Many people do not know how to combine food. Some foods require special enzymes to be digested like proteins require protease, carbohydrates require amylase, and fats require lipase. If a person eats protein and lots of carbohydrates at a time it could lead to conflict within the digestive enzymes.
It would be best to combine protein with non-starch vegetables, combining carbohydrates with vegetables, grains, etc.

3. The influence of one neuron can affect too. A person can get drowsy after eating orexin neurons. Neurons are located in hypothalamus, a part of the brain that regulates many processes and almost all hormones.

So now you know all this, will it change how you eat so you don't get tired?
