Money Plant

Introduction

Money plant is a common name for a few different plant species including Epipremnum aureum, Lunaria annua, and Crassul aevata. The money plant is very interesting plant with trunk. It has long five shiny leaves per branch but luckiest plants have six or seven leaves per branch.

Importance:

a.      Social Aspects

Money plant is used to the practice of FENGSHUI. It has five leaves that are believed to represent five of the most basic elements of FENGSHUI; metals, wood, water, fire and earth. A money tree that grows with six leaves is said to be even more lackey than the tree with seven leaves. It is considered to be extremely lucky. This is said to increase wealth and prosperity. The presence of money plant in the practice of FENGSHUI is said to balance out any of the five elements that are weak or missing from the room.

b.      Scientific Aspects:

The money plant is an herbaceous plant and often is called C₄ plant. As it has mechanism of converting CO₂ to organic compound during photosynthesis with the release of O₂ with least consumption of O₂ by the photo respiration releasing CO₂ as other C₃ plants do.

Science news: discovery of new elements

 An international team of scientists has agreed to add two new elements to the periodic table, element 114 and element 116. These new elements are the heaviest elements yet to appear on the periodic table, with atomic masses of 289 and 292 atomic mass units, respectively.

The existence of these elements has been suspected for quite some time, but required rigorous verification. In 1999, a single atom of

a decision

pariwartan (crazy diamond)

first day I decided to join microbiology, I was little perplexed for whatever was going on. the decision came from nowhere and I started to head towards somewhere. I was feeling wired how my inner force dragged me towards the subject matter I was totally unknown. a glimmer of satisfaction has now aroused inside me because the fermentation technology has become a subject of my interest.

last week we were given an opportunity to visit an industry. time and again I am questioned by people around me for what I am going to do studying microbiology and there came an option. industry can be a place for the one keen in industrial microbiology ,when we stepped into the industrial arena, sophisticated technology made me aamazed.the large fermenters there compelled me to dream bigger. then I began to compare not only my college laboratory with industry but also my thoughts before I went there and afterwards.before going there my ideas were as smaller as the laboratory bottles but later they began

Facts about penis size

Source: Netdoctor

          Even in this supposedly enlightened century, men worry about penis size. Though the vast majority of guys have more than enough bulk to perform well as lovers, there is a widespread masculine obsession that 'more would be better'.

Size matters

          To the average man, his penis is, consciously or unconsciously, one of the most important things in the whole world. At an early age he discovers it and immediately becomes fascinated by it. But then a note of uncertainty enters his mind: 'Isn't mine rather small?' Look at Dad's, look at big brother's, look at those in the men's changing room - and he asks himself if he will be as big as that. And so he goes on through life, always a tiny bit sensitive about the size of his organ, always convinced that it would be nicer if it were just that little bit longer.

A question of perspective

          The trouble is that every man sees his own penis in a foreshortened view. The angle at which you look down inevitably makes your penis seem shorter than it is. But when you glance at another man's organ, there's no such foreshortening effect, so very often it'll look as though the other guy is slightly better endowed. A lifetime of comparison of this can easily make you feel a bit inadequate. But it's important to realize the facts about penis length.
