Some time ago there was tough fight for gases and fuels below the earth. People or companies take possession of natural resources and exploit them at will and Governments get pittance while the companies make billions from extracting natural resources in form of oil , coal, minerals or forests These companies belong to private owners whose main concern is to gain profits.
Mankind is the sufferer
Who has right to sell reserves of minerals , oil, gas to private companies or exploit themselves unhindered because two third of the mankind is too young to understand anything and rest are powerless.
Otherday there was legal battle that someone extracted more minerals but how the minerals start belonging to one person or one company ?

What started my scientific wondering about popcorn? I was reading press-releases about presentations at the American Chemical Society's 239th meeting happening this week in San Francisco while craving a healthy snack.

Suddenly, I remembered my favorite report from last year's ACS meeting, about popcorn's antioxidant polyphenols.

A very personal blog posting today. Well, at times it so happens that I feel like writing something about myself... That is the whole purpose of a blog for many, while I, like most of the writers here, usually have additional reasons; today the chance to write about myself comes handy though.

Twenty-five years ago this evening I was at a birthday party, with a bunch of friends. It was the birthday of two nice girls, and the party was held at the home of one of them. We were barely 20 years old back then (the two girls in fact were turning 20), and in similar occasions we used to smoke a lot, listen to music of the seventies, drink quite a bit, and party until late night.

Many a times I feel sad that  questions are  being raised about plantation of trees and reducing the global warming.
Other day people have pictures of their houses those houses which have plants in their surroundings having cooling effect in the environment and reducing expenditure on air conditioner and its emissions . Its simple logic that if each house plants enough trees to keep their house cool and if each of the 8 billion people plant one tree in their house hold or in adjoining area global warming will be thing of the past ?
Can we just give a try . However the question is which plant and on which land and by whom ?

Someday, when man knows the sublevel picutre thoughts of his mind that makes his mind operate he will be privilaged to know what old autistics like me have figured out:our mind. If man could hook monitors to our brain and watch the hundreds upon thousands of thoughts of our sublevel thoughts form, he would realize we think in pictures. With monitors connected to our brains he would see just how many picutre thoughts it takes to form a sentance, the hoops the mind goes threw to form speech. All of this is internal below the surface, unless your stuck on a topic and forced to say I can picture him but can't place the name.
