Recent Mars Images (Marvin the Martian throws down the kaboom in a guest zot)

Posted on 10/08/2014 10:49:46 AM PDT by aardwolf46

All over the internet recently, sciFy vs. reality and a Mars satellite for petty cash:

That breaks the monopoly. Faced with the spectre of other nations publishing uncensored Mars images, NASA and JPL have started publishing some much more obvious images than they have in the past including a totally uncensored video (JPL) showing large-scale structure.

A few items...

JPL uncensored video showing large-scale structure:

It’s official: My “new” Toshiba laptop has to go to the shop and with “luck” it will be back in two weeks. *groan* I’m almost ready to have them cancel the order and give me an HP.

They gave me a Toshiba loaner, and it’s no better than the one I just sent in. I’m so tired of dealing with faulty equipment, and it’s a struggle I don’t need. I have enough trouble navigating sites I know and am familiar with without adding the frustration of non-responsive equipment.

So what’s the consensus? Let them give me back the Toshiba? Or demand (nicely) a new product with better performance?

Please, input is encouraged, thank you!

:o]

Sorry, I’m useless about technology, although I did have a major success this afternoon, turning off the ringer on the new telephone.

DP buys ASUS computers, fwiw.

You haven't had it all that long...

Did you ever happen to do a googlebing search for reviews and comments on your particular model of 'new Toshiba' to see if there is a history of malfunction with the unit? If that fact can be established then for sure I'd insist on a different product.

Again, my comments on the HP line are that their business models are fairly solid, but the consumer models can be iffy (and of course, you pay a premium for those business models.)

Check on any user reviews of your unit first. If you find a slew of dissatisfied buyers and poor reliability push for something better. If on the other hand, the majority of user reviews are positive, I'd treat it as a fluke and hope they fix it. This time.

Of course, if it happens again...

Did that make any sense?

The Toshiba loaner they gave me for the interim is worse than the one that is headed for the shop. The sound card is faulty so everything from ads to YouTube are broken up and not worth turning up the sound for.

The thing that disturbs me the most is that the original computer came straight out of the box. The laptop was still wrapped in plastic and I had to set it up for the first time. I followed directions and still came out with a POS I don’t want to pay for.

I’ve always had an HP, after the original fiasco of a Gateway, but my friend, Busdaddy has an ASUS and I LOVE that machine. I’m thinking strongly of asking for one, though I need to keep my budget in mind. I don’t know what kind of deal they will offer me.

I will go in on Monday or Tuesday and see if I can talk some sense into them. I mean, I’ve paid off six contracts, so how will they tell me “NO!”?

Your problems are more likely to be with the operating system than the machine. I have a friend here who had so much trouble with Windows 7 that her son has cleaned it off and placed Windows 6 on her laptop. But she doesn’t spend much time on the computer yet and she will be having me teach her to get on and use the Internet this holiday season. Fo you know what operating system is on your machine?

Sadly, this is a Win 8.2, and this is probably my seventh or eighth machine. I prefer Win7, but the newer computers are all Win8 or Win8.1.

I spend a lot of time on the computer between emails, banking and forums, not to mention social websites. My life is pretty much confined to my apartment and the Internet access.

I’m pretty computer savvy for an old broad, and this recent upset is testing my patience in more ways than one! LOL!

Many businesses will replace there computers every three years. Places like Wal Mart sells these used computers on line. As low as $100. Many of these come with win 7 on them.

You find these on EBay as 'off lease' refurbished computers - usually have a wiped hard drive and op sys reinstall. That's how you latch onto a business laptop cheap(er)..

Just as a ferinstance, here's one I have been hanging onto in my watch list for a while. It's a HP Elitebook, their ritzy pricey business model. Buy one new today and it will set you back over 15 C notes...

HP EliteBook 8730w 17" Core2Duo Win7 Pro

If I were seriesly contemplating buying one of this model I would be doing more research (already know other listings have it cheaper..)

It is a “hybrid tea rose ,Silver Jubilee”
It was the Queen Mothers favourite rose.
They are behind some of the walls at Windsor Castle, all of the heads are level with the top of the wall.
It is incredibly easy to maintain, i planted two ten years ago, all they receive is an annual cutting down to the two bud level.
And the occasional drop of Horse output.
The rose heads appear around late May and continue until after Christmas day.

Would i recommend them? Yes.

Let’s find out what we are made of ...

Your wish is my command:

Composition of the human body

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Not to be confused with Human anatomy.
The main elements that compose the human body are shown from most abundant (by mass) to least abundant.

The elemental composition of the human body can be looked at from the point of view of either mass composition, or atomic composition. To illustrate both views, the adult male human body is approximately 57% water, and water is 11% hydrogen by mass but 67% by count of atoms (i.e. 67 atomic percent). Thus, most of the mass of the human body is oxygen, but most of the atoms in the human body are hydrogen atoms. Both mass-composition and atomic composition figures are given below (see pie graphs and table).

Body composition may also be analyzed in terms of molecular type (e.g., water, protein, connective tissue, fats (or lipids) apatite (in bones), carbohydrates (such as glycogen and glucose) and DNA. In terms of tissue type, the body may be analyzed into water, fat, muscle, bone, etc. In terms of cell type, the body contains hundreds of different types of cells, but notably, the largest number of cells contained in a human body (though not the largest mass of cells) are not human cells, but consist of bacteria (bacterial cells) residing in the normal human gastrointestinal tract.

Major, minor and trace elements[]

Pie charts of typical human body composition by percent of mass, and by percent of atomic composition (atomic percent).

Almost 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Only about 0.85% is composed of another five elements: potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium. All are necessary to life. The remaining elements are trace elements, of which more than a dozen are thought to be necessary for life, or play a role in good health (e.g., fluorine, which hardens dental enamel but seems to have no other function).

An easy way to remember the six most essential elements in living organisms is CHONPC (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and calcium).

Other elements and questionable human-required elements[]

Not all elements which are found in the human body in trace quantities play a role in life. Some of these elements are thought to be simple bystander contaminants without function (examples: caesium, titanium), while many others are thought to be active toxics, depending on amount (cadmium, mercury, radioactives). The possible utility and toxicity of a few elements at levels normally found in the body (aluminum) is debated. Functions have been proposed for trace amounts of cadmium and lead, although these are almost certainly toxic in amounts very much larger than normally found in the body. There is evidence that arsenic, an element normally considered a toxic in higher amounts, is essential in ultratrace quantities, even in mammals.[citation needed]

Some elements that are clearly used in lower organisms and plants (arsenic, silicon, boron, nickel, vanadium) are probably needed by mammals also, but in far smaller doses. Two halogens used abundantly by some (though not all) lower organisms (fluorine and bromine) are presently known to be used by mammals only opportunistically (i.e. they are used actively when present, but when absent, do not cause diseases or severe health problems).[citation needed]

Elemental composition list[]

Main article: Dietary mineral

The average 70 kg adult human body contains approximately 7 x 1027 atoms and contains at least detectable traces of 60 chemical elements.[1] About 29 of these elements are thought to play an active positive role in life and health in humans.[2]

The relative amounts of each element vary by individual, mainly due to differences in the proportion of fat, muscle and bone in their body. Persons with more fat will have a higher proportion of carbon and a lower proportion of most other elements (the proportion of hydrogen will be about the same). The numbers in the table are averages of different numbers reported by different references.

The adult human body averages ~53% water. This varies substantially by age, sex, and adiposity. In a large sample of adults of all ages and both sexes, the figure for water fraction by weight was found to be 48 ±6% for females and 58 ±8% water for males.[3] Water is ~11% hydrogen by mass but ~67% hydrogen by atomic percent, and these numbers along with the complementary % numbers for oxygen in water, are the largest contributors to overall mass and atomic composition figures. Because of water content, the human body contains more oxygen by mass than any other element, but more hydrogen by atom-fraction than any element.

Most of the elements needed for life are relatively common in the Earth's crust. There are exceptions: cobalt for instance makes up only about 25 parts per million of the Earth's crust but is essential for human life. Conversely most of the common elements are necessary for life. An exception is aluminium, which is the third most common element in the Earth's crust (after oxygen and silicon), but seems to serve no function in living cells. Rather, it is harmful in large amounts.[14] Transferrins can bind aluminium.[15]

Composition by molecule type[]

The composition can also be expressed in terms of chemicals, such as:

The composition of the human body can be viewed on an atomic and molecular scale as shown in this article.

The estimated gross molecular contents of a typical 20-micrometre human cell is as follows:[17]

Molecule Percent of Mass Mol.Weight (daltons) Molecules Percent of Molecules
Water 65* 18* 1.74e14 98.73
Other Inorganics 1.5 N/A 1.31e12 0.74
Lipids 12 N/A 8.4e11 0.475

Protein 20 N/A 1.9e10 0.011
RNA 1.0 N/A 5e7 3e-5
DNA 0.1 1e11 46* 3e-11

*Water: Obviously the amount of water is highly dependent on body composition and amount of fat. In adults in developed countries it actually averages ~53% water. This varies substantially by age, sex, and adiposity. In a large sample of adults of all ages and both sexes, the figure for water fraction by weight was found to be 48 ±6% for females and 58 ±8% water for males.[18] DNA: A human cell also contains mitochondrial DNA. Sperm cells contain less mitochondrial DNA than other cells. A mammalian red blood cell contains no nucleus and thus no DNA.

Materials and tissues[]

Body composition can also be expressed in terms of various types of material, such as:

Composition by cell type[]

There are many species of bacteria and other microorganisms that live on or inside the healthy human body. In fact, 90% of the cells in (or on) a human body are microbes, by number[19][20] (much less by mass or volume). Some of these symbionts are necessary for our health. Those that neither help nor harm humans are called commensal organisms.

Ah, there in lays the common miss-conception.
This being constant linear heating of the upper atmosphere it causes cooling in the lower atmosphere due to increased convection currents in the ionosphere.
Come on get with the program ,it is settled science.

(i can't keep a straight face with this ..., Lol.)
