Celebrating Halloween with Da Share Z0ne

Celebrating Halloween with Da Share Z0ne via @dasharez0ne Through the jarring dissonance of its gothic, biker-horror imagery and it’s vulnerable, pitiable text, Da Share Z0ne deftly needles at the hypocritical constructs of masculinity with a gnarled, bony skeleton finger. So in honor of Halloween, here’s a short gallery of some of Da Share Z0ne’s inimitable work. GREAT HAIR; SELF CARE pic.twitter.com/CTWiXbw4cu â€" da share z0ne (@dasharez0ne) October 6, 2016 This recent Share Z0ne offering is one of my all-time favorites. Here we see a skeleton blow-drying what appears to be either a) a head full of gorgeous auburn hair or b) flames. It’s the sprawling reams of background text, though, that elevate the meme. As he is wont to do, Admin is airing his grievances or the things in life that bring him particular sorrow. A couple of my favorites include “Elon Musk says the world is a computer” and “Ethical consumption is impossible with capitalism.” duckING HELL WTF pic.twitter.com/C9xB9BVBBM â€" da share z0ne (@dasharez0ne) September 21, 2016 Anyone who has gone spelunking down between the couch cushions as the Mario Kart theme menu blares incessantly from the TV can understand why Admin is so peeved that he’s down a Wiimote. If the sword wielding, controller surfing skeleton didn’t spook the perp into returning the goods, I don’t think there’s much hope. THINK ABOUIT IT pic.twitter.com/v1wBFVNDuE â€" da share z0ne (@dasharez0ne) September 1, 2016 Here again Admin invokes Elon Musk, this time assailing his star-gazing hubris. This post was a response to Space X’s Falcon 9 explosion, which destroyed the rocket and its commercial satellite payload. Between the explosion and Admin’s meme, Musk and Space X are facing an uphill battle to regain some dignity. HELL YEAH pic.twitter.com/ukJXPwIxb3 â€" da share z0ne (@dasharez0ne) May 29, 2016 Da Share Z0ne has always made great use of acrostic poetry. Here, it looks like Admin is responding to some ignorant jerks who get off on denigrating people’s sexuality. Well, the joke will be on them when they see how well manicured Admin’s hedges are. IS GENDER TH CAUSE OR THE SYMPTOM..WHO CARES IM SHOOTIN IT pic.twitter.com/sEvdGV0aZ6 â€" da share z0ne (@dasharez0ne) July 30, 2016 Admin’s brief ruminations on gender. Ultimately, he opts to just shoot it. Down with the patriarchy!

Nutella -- Is It, or Isnt It

Nutella -- Is It, or Isn't It Photo Via: https://3dprint.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/3dp_nutellalock_nutella_jar.jpg So in recent news, everything causes cancer. Just joking … but not really. According to some recent controversy, Nutella (yes, the hazelnut goodness that we are all obsessed with) has potentially cancer-causing ingredients. Which for many is pretty alarming news, especially for a food that’s so high-profile and so well liked in general. College students are especially worried (mostly because Nutella is life, but also because it’s a staple in our diets that we aren’t prepared to get rid of). According to a recent report from the European Food Safety Authority (leave it to Europe to ruin a good thing), Nutella could be dangerous to your health. And this is big, as the EFSA is equivalent to our FDA. In other words, it’s a big deal. But should you stop purchasing that spreadable goodness? That’s where the controversy comes into play. According to the report, palm oil, one of the main ingredients in Nutella (the reason for that creamy, flavorful spread), is the dangerous component that’s potentially cancer-causing. Palm oil, of course, isn’t limited to just Nutella, but also baked goods (like pastries and cakes) and margarine (butter, for those of us that need it spelled out). And, to make matters even more difficult, it’s not necessarily the palm oil that’s of concern, but how it’s processed and heated. Basically, you refine the oil, which changes its color and eliminates its smell. So this is why processed foods containing this ingredient are in question. To process the foods, you heat the palm oil to temperatures over 392 degrees Fahrenheit, which creates a “potentially carcinogenic contaminant” that creates the health concern. So really, it’s not until you process the palm oil that it becomes “potentially” dangerous. Again, this is a controversy at the moment, and conclusive evidence isn’t available yet. Basically, the issue is that it isn’t possible to determine how much of the “contaminant” is in the processed product and then, to make matters even more difficult, there is no way to tell how much of this contaminant individuals are consuming. So while there is a possibility that the carcinogenic is being created, it’s unclear whether the food is safe to eat, or if it’s actually harmful. To put this into perspective, the EFSA didn’t recommend banning palm oil, and they didn’t make any comments on heating the ingredient to over 200 degrees Celsius. In other words, don’t throw out all of your Nutella just yet. On top of this, Nutella does use palm oil, but it processes at temperatures that fall below the 200 degree Celsius mark. In fact, Nutella is combined at low temperatures specifically to decrease the number of contaminants. So of the processed foods, Nutella might be the safest at the moment. And it helps that the EFSA also didn’t mention Nutella processing. This debate is surfacing now in the U.S., but in Europe, this has been ongoing for several years. People have debated back and forth about the dangerous effects of palm oil, and a few supermarket chains have removed palm oils from their store brand products, just in case. And the fact that it’s surfacing here now doesn’t validate the study in any way everyone is still very unclear whether palm oil products are bad for your health. So essentially, the EFSA is releasing the report to keep everyone informed and to give consumers a choice as to whether or not they want to consume the product. Until there is definitive evidence that suggests otherwise, Nutella is pretty much safe. Of course, it still isn’t healthy, so don’t forget that it’s a product that’s very high in sugar and very low in protein (of course, this won’t stop us, but it’s good to know nonetheless). But in the meantime, be vigilant when it comes to the ingredients in your food, as more and more ‘bad items are popping up in studies across the globe. What it comes down to is this: know what you’re putting into your body, and, just in general, try to eat healthy. Fruits and vegetables are always good, non-processed foods are preferable and you don’t have to avoid processed food entirely, but don’t limit your diet to Pizza Rolls and Lean Cuisines. If you do, you aren’t doing your body any favors. Essentially, don’t let these studies scare you away from any foods, but keep an eye out for new studies as well because, in the world of science, anything can change at any point in time, so the more you are aware of what’s going on, the better. In the meantime, sit back, get some homework done and snack on that Nutella we both know you have hidden in the back of your pantry. Because you deserve it.

Understanding Homophones

Understanding Homophones Homophones can be very tricky when learning a language such as English and for younger children can often make spelling really confusing. Learning the different homophones takes time and patience but with some fun practice and repetition games, learning homophones doesn't have to be difficult. FLOWER FLOUR What is a homophone? A homophone is a word that sounds the same as another word but has a different meaning and usually these words are spelt differently; although sometimes they are spelled the same; bass (fish) /bass (instrument). seen/scene plain/plane would/wood Let's explore some homophones The word rose can have different meanings but is spelt the same. The beautiful rose was as yellow as the sun (a flower) He rose from his bed very early (past tense of rise) Here are some examples of some commonly confusing homophones that sound the same but have different meanings: bear/bare There was a bear outside the window of the lodge (an animal) Her bare feet were frozen (naked) write/right I write with my left hand (verb to write) His predictions were right (as in correct) flour/flower She measured the flour for the cake (grain usually made from wheat) He gave her a lovely pink flower (part of the plant that bears seeds) Try and think of a homophone for the following words: 1. knew ............... 2. hole ............... 3. grate ............... 4. there ............... 5. herd ............... 6. be ............... 7. sea ............... 8. two ............... Learning homophones will help children develop their vocabulary skills and improve their spelling. Homophones are taught from primary school, usually around year 2 and they can be taught in a number of different ways, such as: Filling in 'gap' worksheets where they will need to choose the correct homophone for different sentences. Having access to lists of homophones that children can study and see each day. Bringing home lists of homophones to learn. Writing sentences containing pairs of homophones. Homophone games such as memory match. A great way of remembering homophones is to use pairs of homophones in the same sentence: Tony ate eight truffles. The maid made up Sammy's bed. I ate two slices of cake too! I can see the sea. The wind blew the blue flag. Getting children to practice these and make up their own sentences is great fun. Here are some more great tips for helping children understand and learn homophones: Encourage children to keep a notebook of homophones they come across Take the time to talk about the different homophones until your child has a clear understanding Challenge your child to come up with some fun riddles using different homophones Practice matching homophones with their correct definitions Practice matching homophones to their correct picture Encourage regular practice and play some fun games that can be found in various books or online (learning games and BBC are great sites). Creating your own flashcards together with your child with a homophone pair on each side of the card is a great way to help instil homophones learning. Homophones are an important part of learning the English language and understanding them will set the correct foundations for writing and spelling through school and into adulthood.

Threesome Tutoring Dinner Table

Threesome Tutoring Dinner TableThreesome tutoring can help people who are contemplating the possibility of having a threesome in the near future by helping them learn how to negotiate and deal with the questions that might arise. Not only will the threesome session at the tutoring dinner table help to introduce the participants into this exciting opportunity, but it can also serve as a great opportunity for them to begin discussing and planning the logistics of the activity.In fact, if you're trying to talk with the participants about your plans for the night, be sure to hold off on actually inviting them. However, it is always best to invite them. In fact, it is crucial that you do so because it will give you the opportunity to establish what exactly you want to talk about with the participants.Just as important, however, is learning how to ensure that the threesome activities run smoothly. This means that if you plan to include the participants at the dinner table, make sure that t hey are provided with food and drink beforehand. It also means that you should set up the set-up ahead of time so that it is ready for use during the evening.For example, you might think it would be a good idea to have the two people who are involved in the event - a man and a woman - meet for the first time at the dinner table. But you can also choose to offer a camera and a microphone to each participant so that you can record the entire event. This will allow you to play it back at a later date so that everyone can see and hear everything that happened.If you are going to include both men and women, you may also want to consider getting the right equipment so that you can record the entire event. The right equipment also serves to make sure that you know exactly what is happening at the time. This is very important because it will allow you to decide if the participants are enjoying themselves.Without the proper equipment, you might be able to get away with a less than perfect ev ent. It is important that you keep that in mind.So remember, when you plan your threesome dinner table, be sure to prepare for the night ahead by prepping the participants with dinner and drinks beforehand. If you're lucky, you might even be able to entice a few new participants to join the evening.

The Father of Modern Chemistry

The Father of Modern ChemistryI was recently reading an online article discussing the father of modern chemistry and his contributions to this field. The writer is in the process of looking into the life of some of the chemists who have made great contributions to modern chemistry. Reading the article was intriguing to me, mainly because I am interested in the subject matter, and there was also some mention of the father of modern chemistry and the science of chemistry.In my own study of the life of the father of modern chemistry, I found that the field of chemistry was not actually founded on one scientist, but a number of scientists who brought about a synthesis. Before these first synthesis, there were no real physical properties associated with chemicals; it was simply a theory that chemical compounds were composed of atoms and molecules that moved back and forth on electricity.As these physical properties came to light, and scientists discovered chemical bonds that made the atom s and molecules interact, they realized that chemicals could hold physical properties. These first synthesises were important for chemists as they helped them make molecules that are chemically stable in many different environments, which is why they are considered the fathers of modern chemistry.In order to understand the men who have made these individual contributions, it would be helpful to look at the history of chemistry as a whole. At the time of their discovery, chemistry was a very new field, and even today is not recognized as a real science or as an academic subject.During this time, many of the individuals that founded modern chemistry were students of Alfred Nobel, who was well known for his work on the chemistry of gas chromatography. During the experiments that Nobel conducted, he discovered how to separate gases and how to determine their relative densities. Those two discoveries set the foundation for modern chemistry, which includes several fields that deal with th e study of gases.Even after the work of Nobel and others was completed, chemistry still had to figure out how to look at chemical interactions, and how to separate compounds from one another. This is where more research was done by chemists, and research is still ongoing today, looking into the interaction of chemicals, and how these interactions affect the chemical properties of various compounds. That is what makes the field so unique; there are many different theories as to how a compound should behave, and each one has a great deal of research behind it.Throughout the history of modern chemistry, those who have made significant contributions have often been forgotten because of how important their work was in formulating the theories for today's laboratory equipment and methodologies. It would also be interesting to look at the first syntheses, because there is not only a single chemist responsible for making them, but a whole bunch of researchers that were working on the same p roject. It would also be interesting to look at the fact that the father of modern chemistry was a woman; she was a graduate student of Alfred Nobel and is credited for having two key aspects of chemistry: creating the equation for the chemical bond, and for creating the first chemical model, which would later be used to design various kinds of models in chemistry.
