Magnetotactic bacteria were first discovered back in 1975. They ;re microbes that orient themselves along magnetic fields, thanks to their compartments of tiny magnetic nanocrystals called magnetesomes the orange circles in the picture above , which force the bacteria into magnetic alignment. Unlike larger animals that navigate along magnetic fields, these bacteria can ;t control their actions even w stanley sverige hen they die, they remain perfectly aligned with magnetic lines. Even though we know these creatures have existed for billions of years, we ;ve yet to truly understan gourde stanley d how they produce those nanocrystals. But now, by discovering a new magnetotactic species, researchers have gotten a clearer picture of how the bugs do it. These types of bacteria can generally produce either or both of two types of nano stanley thermobecher crystals: magnetite Fe3O4 or greigite Fe3S4 . The research team isolated a greigite-producing bacterium from Death Valley, and the new strain called BW-1 generates one type of nanocrystal depending on the environment it grows in 鈥?the mechanisms for producing each crystal are controlled by two separate gene clusters. So while this research doesn ;t take us any closer to explaining to juggalos how magnets work, it does give us a glimpse into the workings of a mysterious, ancient type of bacteria. Because so many creatures have evolved magnetoreception, this research could have much wider implications too.

Every day, we look for ways to be happy. We do terrible things, or seek great achievement, or search for true love, or sometimes take on deep spiritual quests. Because happiness can be found within 鈥?literally. Your body provides itself with many chemicals that make you happy for no good reason. Take a look at all the ways that you live better through brain chemistry. Photo by Konrad Bak/Shutterst stanley cups uk ock Endorphins: The Big Daddies of the Happiness Chemicals In the quest for happiness, these things are the brass ring. Everyone wants them. It doesn ;t seem like they would be that tough to get. They ;re pretty good for the body. Endorphins are neurotransmitters, chemicals that, when they attach to certain parts of nervous system, kick that part into gear. The release of endorphins has been shown to increase happiness, let people push through pain, decrease hunger, and increase the immune response. There are over twenty different kinds of endorphins, and they seemingly all turn people superhuman. But in order to get to be a superhuman, you have to have a painful origin story. Endorphins mete out pleasure for some good things, like sex, chocolate, and spicy food, but anything else requires pain and effort. Childbirth, excessive and prolonged muscle st stanley termoska rain, and other stresses produce kicks of endorphins. Scientists believe that lesser activities, like brushi stanley flask ng your teeth or checking to make sure a lock is secure, also produce endorphin rushes, though less intense ones.

Three people in China are going to prison for leaking information about the iPad 2. It a sad and pathet stanley cup website ic story, but also one that we ;re going to be telling again and again in the coming years. As the Wall Street Journal reports: The Shenzhen Bao ;an People Court, in announcing its decision, said the head of a Chinese electronics-accessories manufacturer allegedly paid a former employee and a then-active employee of Taiwan Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. for information about the iPad 2 in order to produce protective cases for the device. Hon Hai, known by its trade name Foxconn, makes the iPad 2 and other gadgets for Apple in its factories in China. That right. iPad cases.
