Creation_0006

Creation is based on a book called Annie's Box (published in the US as Darwin, His Daughter and Human Evolution), written by one of Darwin's descendants, Randal Keynes, and inspired by a box of keepsakes from Annie's short life, items carefully set aside by her parents, which Keynes found in the family archives. Darwin and his wife Emma (played by Jennifer Connelly, Bettany's offscreen wife) had 10 children in all. Several of them are featured in the film, though you'd be hard-pressed to identify them as anything beyond Neglected Son No. 1, Neglected Son No. 2 and the Other Daughter. The movie implies that Annie's death made it possible, in an odd way, for Darwin to write the book, his faith in God having been so jeopardized by the unfairness of her death. (Annie died in 1851; Origin was published in 1859.) Read more: www.time.com

Mold - What Causes It And How To Get Rid Of It

Mold. And no, we're not talking about the kind found on 40 year old bread. We're talking about the kind of mold found in your bathroom on the tub tiles and a number of other places you'd never even suspect. In this article we're going to go over the causes of mold and how to get rid of it.

Mold is actually always present in the air and all it needs to trigger it off is a little moisture and a food source. Most surfaces contain all the nutrients that mold will need for it to grow and any dirt on that surface only provides additional fuel for the fire.

Mold is pretty easy to spot even if you can't see it, which is usually white or can even be black. Mold can always be smelled and the odor is rather musty and not at all pleasant. It grows on paper, drywall, wood, paint and wallpaper and many other surfaces that contain sufficient amounts of moisture.

Okay, so if mold is so prevalent just how do we get rid of it or if possible keep it from forming?

The first step in reducing mold (you'll never completely kill it) is to keep things clean. A 1 part to 4 part solution of chlorine bleach and water will kill mold. If you add a detergent to that solution you will also remove dust and dirt. You have to be very careful when disturbing mold spores because they can cause respiratory problems, especially if you are allergic to mold, have asthma or other breathing problems.

The next thing to do is to reduce humidity. In a climate where you have to heat the air in the winter time, this can be a real challenge. Warm air holds much more moisture than cold air. Air conditioning systems can remove the moisture and circulate cool dry air back into the room. Of course if you live in a hot dry climate like Arizona, this isn't that much of a problem. Air movement, through the use of a fan, is another great way of reducing the moisture in the air. Just from cooking and bathing alone you can add as much as 3 gallons of water a day to your home unless you have adequate circulation.

Corners are a common place for mold to grow. Usually because of improper insulation the interior wall can become colder than the air that is inside the room and this causes moisture to form on the surface. The underside of windows is another common location. Humid air will condense on cold windows which will form frost and then go through a cycle by which the moisture will freeze and defrost. This will cause water to drip down underneath the window which is what causes the mold to form and grow and your wall to start rotting.

By following the above procedures, keeping your home cool and dry and cleaning often especially after a bath or shower, you can help prevent mold from taking over your house.

Fresh Hard Times (an aboriginal song)

Techno-post-industrial-fasco -expressionism Fresh Hard Times (L. Glass/N. Ball) This mystery can really tear you up like that movie with the big beast's claws and if you lack the skill of a Sherlock investigation they will bury you with unjust laws on this rug with lumps and bruises they sell their story to the destitute and the poor how this fat land sometimes sickens even though, for years, they've had the cure FRESH HARD TIMES along the avenue there are vessels to be broken i have a healthy nest egg, i'm waiting for the end i have shelves for keepsakes and for tokens pen and ink, a desk, a bed i recall how rich men jumped out from high windows down to the street their bodies went limp like tailored slacks lying Picasso-faced right beneath our feet FRESH HARD TIMES the street it feeds on riot i will not turn on our shared plight tonight into my veiled tent i feel knives ripping as i pray to the Goddess for a comeback fight their beliefs are bellicose and bloated they build larger holes in which to dwell they will never see the candles in the window or hear the knelling of the warning bell FRESH HARD TIMES i can see slender fingers clutching the throat of Liberty as we sigh and sign the devil's list of lies i thought i saw a wicked smile creep across his face as we doused our souls in the stench of compromise FRESH HARD TIMES...
