The clock ticks life away

Alarm clock has several purposes:

1. You wake up from sleep
2. Put you into sleep (as long as you stared at the turning of the second hand)
3. Give you the feeling of memories of the past

Recall my peak college, love, academic, career is not very brilliant, but very satisfied. I enjoy it , but also sad therein . Because blogs, I insignificant, become slightly less insignificant. Someone like me , I should be coveted looks of it. I hate someone , it should be ... impossible. I blog, virtually hundred reflects confidence in reality I was super-inferiority. I would hope that now there is a girl to love me, but really, if the girls fall in love with me, in fact I really do not know how to react. I love this stuff does not seem to understand. For now, I put it aside, stick my seventh law . 7:00 am to 19:00, seven days to spare, just 7 line...!

Researchers convert plastic bottles into porous Researchers convert plastic bottles into porous cement

Researchers have converted discarded plastic bottles in combination with soil to form a porous cement like substance that could be the construction material of the future.

It could also considerably ease ecological hazard caused by billions of plastic bottles discarded every year.

Naji Khoury, assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering at Temple University in US, says the trademarked product is called ‘Plastisoil.’

Khoury said that it takes 30,000 of the better quality recyclable bottles to make one tonne of porous Plastisoil. He hopes to be able to use different types of recyclable plastic bottles in the future, according to a Temple statement.

Besides, Khoury said that an energy analysis shows that it uses less energy to produce one tonne of Plastisoil than one tonne of cement or asphalt.

Khoury said that Plastisoil could ease environmental problems created by stormwater run-off because stormwater can filter through it into the ground below.

The material could be used to form sidewalks, bike/jogging paths, driveways and parking lots. “We are currently testing the porous Plastisoil to see if we could also remove or reduce pollutants like motor oil from the water as it filters through,” he said.

He added that preliminary results also show porous Plastisoil to be cheaper to manufacture than existing technologies/products.

Khoury first developed Plastisoil with a co-inventors while at the University of Oklahoma, but he created the material after moving to Temple in 2008.

Going to gym can help us age more gracefullyGoing to gym can help us age more gracefully

Working out can help you look and feel younger – or at least that’s what most of us who regularly work out fondly hope. Now scientists have discovered why exercise can hold back the years.

A study found an endurance exercise like a jog or spinning class increases the number of stem cells in our muscles, helping rejuvenate them, reports the journal PLoS ONE.

Tests showed that rats running on a treadmill for just 20 minutes a day could increase stem cells by almost half, proving exercise could be the secret of youth for our muscles, according to the Daily Mail.

Professor Dafna Benayahu from the Tel Aviv University’s Sackler School of Medicine in Israel, who ran the study, said: “When we age, we experience sarcopenia, a decline in mass and function of muscles.”

“As a result, our musculoskeletal system is more susceptible to daily wear and tear, which also explains the increased risk of falling in the elderly.”

“For the first time our findings can explain why older people who have exercised throughout their lives age more gracefully.”

The number of muscle stem cells normally declines with ageing. This prevents proper maintenance of muscle mass and its ability to repair itself. However, tests on rats who ran for 20 minutes a day for 13 weeks found the opposite happened.

The results showed younger rats exhibited a 20 to 35 percent increase in the average number of stem cells per muscle fibre. Older rats benefited even more, showing a 33 to 47 percent increase.
