Salty Origins for Early Earth Biomolecules

All of the sentences in English are from the website:
http://www.scientificamerican.com/podcast/episode.cfm?id=salty-origins-for-early-earth-biomo-09-09-17

The early Earth's oceans were home to a lot of interesting chemistry.
不知道怎麼翻
google譯:
早期地球的海洋是回家了很多有趣的化學。
冏~太天兵了
改正:早時地球的海洋是家,孕育許多有趣的化學變化
應該是這樣吧!高手請指證

amino acids氨基酸

Scientists have found that amino acids thought to be present way back when could have been cooked into other
compounds vital for life-an idea you should take with a grain of salt.
神奇的文法,看不懂中


Four billion year ago, the planet was probably covered
by a salty ocean, dotted with volcanic islands and short lived continents.

mimic 模仿

German researchers recently mimicked some of the chemistry taking place
along the coasts of the volcanic islands.

primordial最原始的

They created an approximation of primordial seavater.

simulate 模仿
residue 殘渣
crusts 地殼

they evaporated it, to simulate what went on at those volcanic coasts.
they baked the residue, creating salt crusts.

pyrroles
chlorophyll 葉綠素
hemoglobin 血紅素

At those high temperatures, amino acides interacted with metal
ions in the salt crusts and were converted into other important
biological molecules, such as pyrroles-which are part of the
structures of chlorophyll in plants and hemoglobin in animals.

Over hundreds of thousands of years, these novel compounds could
have built up along the volcanic coasts, creating materials for
the first living cells. Which were really worth their salt.
最後一句是? which 是指 compounds ,compounds是真的有價值的他們的鹽 XDD這是我翻的

主宰我給我生命的是 Desire

可能是中午那杯咖啡的關係
讓我現在全身血液顫動 遲遲無法午休

思索著自己的慾望
我的慾望好多
在有慾望時,精神奕奕,沒有煩惱
只想著:要換摩托車、買教科書、報名考試
要買新電腦、要養新的貓咪、要在進修什麼
學習什麼
一時之間有了活下去的衝動

回顧工作這一年,似乎是很充實,依著自己的步調
努力學習滿足
但滿足了,又開始擔憂
是不是不夠,是不是會被比下去,是不是其他人都正在努力
而我滿足現狀


這些問題要等我學佛或跟隨主耶穌後,才可以真正安息吧

H1N1 and the End of the French Kiss

from:http://bigthink.com/carriebattan/h1n1-and-the-end-of-the-french-kiss

Pandemic-fearing populations across the world have employed myriad protective measures in the hopes of warding off the spread of the H1N1 virus, many of them entirely nonsensical. The Chinese quarantined groups of Mexicans, Egypt ordered the slaughtering of thousands of pigs and travel restrictions were imposed on various regions of the world. But France might be taking the cake with its recent decision to ban public kissing and the beloved traditional cheek-kiss greeting.

France has yet to impose a nationwide ban on kissing; instead, large firms and schools across the nation have asked their employees and students to replace kisses with waves — how romantic. The mayor of the town of Le Guilvinec has ordered all of the children in schools to cease cheek-kiss greetings, with many schools installing boxes where students and teachers may place paper hearts in place of a kiss. Some speculate, however, that the ban will be a government-enforced nationwide rule in the coming months as countries look to prepare for flu season.

The ban is also being considered in regions of various countries like Great Britain, Germany and Spain. The Europeans seem to be all business when it comes to protecting themselves against the virus, with the French displaying a remarkable abandonment of tradition in favor of a public heath gesture that may have little to no real benefit. Once flu season has passed, will the French be hanging their heads in shame over what could be an irrational ban, or hoarding bands of kissy-faced Frenchies into jail cells for their crimes?

血拼戰友-小江寶貝

哈哈~ 小江是在研究所的室友

在搬回台南讀研究所前
連房子都還沒找,就在夢大誠徵室友一起找房子(好大膽阿)
她是跟我聯絡的人之中 最後真的住在一起的人

她是個很有~ 非常有個性的人
剛好我很沒個性這面 服服貼貼match在一起

阿咪好像很喜歡她 ㄜㄜ~ 當天找完房子就常跟我討論小江
後來小江說 她不是小江 她很大一隻

她明明是個大正妹 非常積極在游泳的正妹
而且研究所讀的是苦盡甘來
碩一她機車老闆整到她想休學
碩一的我只是拼命的蹲圖書館
我們常相約去成大光復校區的操場跑步

對小江同學的記憶不多但都很深刻
妳憎恨OEO 常一腳把他踩在地上XDD
但妳又留情於小城 常說也要養一隻

妳也常常勸我要多跟外人接觸
因為可以學到很多

我也很懷念你們家的豬腳
雖然當時吃不完是場惡夢
但是還是很希望可以回味一次

ㄟ 小江好像不會到這邊來 哈哈
希望你快點吃完素
有機會在一起吃全肉大餐

最近的生活可說是八面玲瓏阿

最近就是活在一堆輿論中
左躲右閃的~
大家看似對我都沒有敵意
因而沾沾自喜

這就是
很拙、很膽小造就而成
我希望我可以很像華仔那種大器(有人說他也八面玲瓏)

只是周圍的紛紛擾擾 我都避而遠之

冷漠與光曜李的保護色
可以繼續很拙很膽小耶~~

拜託!拜託!
大家好好作朋友吧~
大家少說一點八卦吧~其實我也很愛 但我會越來越克制的

我的母親

現在開始對我的母親反感
越大越是

因為看到他一些很世俗的觀念
以前覺得爸很俗氣
現在連媽也很俗氣

希望妹妹去當老師
希望弟弟多多念英文
為什麼媽媽的想法總是那麼狹隘

大概是因為我自己也是對著自己這樣想:
平穩一點就好
安全一點就好
把這些安安定定根生地固的觀念歸咎於是家長給我們的

為什麼我的想法也是這麼不敢作敢當呢
再給自己多一點點企盼吧

媽媽,
您是不是時常也一直後悔著一生?
媽媽,
我會不會變得跟您一樣?
媽媽,
如果我變得跟您一樣 我也要喜愛我自己

好聽的歌

The blower's daughter


And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her skies

I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you...
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new


Bleeding love


Closed off from love, I didn't need the pain
Once or twice was enough and it was all in vain
Time starts to pass before you know it you're frozen

But something happened for the very first time with you
My heart melted to the ground, found something true
And everyone's looking 'round, thinking I'm going crazy

But I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing

You cut me open
And I keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

Trying hard not to hear but they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal is to keep me from falling

But nothing's greater than the rush
That comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness I see your face
Yet everyone around me thinks that I'm going crazy
Maybe, maybe

But I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing

You cut me open
And I keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

And it's draining all of me
Oh, they find it hard to believe
I'll be wearing these scars for everyone to see

I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing

You cut me open
And I keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love

You cut me open
And I keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love

You cut me open
And I keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love


Shadow of the day


I close both locks below the window
I close both blinds and turn away

Sometimes solutions aren't so simple
Sometimes good bye's the only way

[Chorus]
And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey

And the sun will set for you
[End Chorus]

In cards and flowers on your window
Your friends all plead for you to stay

Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple
Sometimes good bye's the only way

[Chorus]
And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey

And the sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey

And the sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey

And the sun will set for you
