Merry Yool !

Seems I can't load pictures here anymore only using my computer, but have to use Picasa or other to load those pictures. Since that is sort of risky (phishing, spam, you know), I may be forced to close down this blog. A pity that Google wanted to start a sort of control of us users.

Why Size Of Breasts Matter...

The new and probably wrong explanation here:

http://www.livescience.com/23500-why-men-love-breasts.html

My own theory:

In ancient times there were much the same clothes for each sexes, and the clothes covered most of their bodies with little difference by the clothes way of hanging downward - except for the breast part for the females. Since nobody cut their hair, this difference was important especially when there were little daylight, like in dense forests and in northern areas. Otherwise the men had difficulties finding the females that would stand out in a crowd - to mate with. Choosing an other man in a hasty time with harsh competition could be devestating (both could easily be killed or seriously injured in a rage when they got furious...)

Evolution forced men to choose the women with bigger breasts to get more offsprings than other men. Naturally selection towards bigger bossoms. Of course the reward were also other benefits that would follow along to better keep the couple together to give the offsprings an edge compared with other offsprings, like the article mention, but the main reason for bigger breasts is probably the important first visually contact between a man and a woman. Love at first glance, you know...

Early Way Of Living At Bismo

This I found at a secluded part of the woodland belonging to the Bismo area. The way of stacking together branches or sticks to bring shelter could be more than a million years old. Early landslides of stone materials near the foot of mountains because of a fault or quake in some parts of Africa could spontaneously have made a similar shaped formation by stones that were split at the foot of a mountain. Human ancestors may have seeked refuge there, and after a while exchanged the stones with branches and/or sticks and other materials like clay to make a better shelter.

This technology were developed further and brought to other places on earth. We see the similarity with Native Americans' tipi and the Sami people's gamme today.

The continued use of trees and logs this way early on may have meant depletion of woodland when there were fast population growth. Waterways like small rivers or streams got more important to bring the timber from distant places to populated areas. Obstacles like big rocks and  rockcovered slopes into the waterways were removed to get the logs easier to the areas. The main rivers to bring logs got deeper.

With the agriculture and rows of farms water from smaller rivers or brooks were brought to the grown plants at connecting fields without dividing brooks, so much of the water draining from these farms must have been collectively gathered and brought together away from the farms instead of being split into different streams (why should the early farmers bother with what happened to the water that were drained from their farms, after their plants of growth got their sufficiant part of water?). This resulted in more powerful fewer rivers, and many kinds of problems we see today.

Thick swampy ground in some part of woodland, like at Bismo, among bigger rocks, shows that there must have been periods with floods that caused difficulties to the early farmers and other people, when there were much snow that rapid melted or when there were heavy rainfalls. When the rivers got still deeper and powerfull, this problem of flooding was somewhat reduced, I guess.

More connected farmland and reduced areas of wetland and fewer, smaller rivers or brooks in our modern times, means that we again are more vulnerable of flooding (like in Russia we have seen lately). So it is important that we begin to divide our waterways much more to restore wetlands where possible, and divide waterways leaving farms and water power plants, and if necessary make artificially underground water ways even outside the densely populated ares.

Nature In Bismo Area

Some peculiar triangular shaped snow left in the mountains - melt water flowing at high speed downward to Otta river.

Just a little of the melt water is used to make electricity, though. But lead to Otta river, so it will collect an exaggerated amount of water in addition to the many sources of water elsewhere.

This resulting in too much noise from the river, making it impossible to sleep in a tent nearby (I tried and failed!) So a dividing and regulation of the river Otta in different smaller streams near Bismo should be a part of a nature plan there.
Further in the plan there should be still ponds based on man-made deep backstream channels leading from the river to the foot of the hills and mountains. Then beavers, that probably were part of the Bismo area earlier, should be re-introduced to the ponds near tight woodland, so there would be more biological diversity and stable climate there, instead of sudden windy, rainy and frosty conditions there today.
Other regulations, like fish ladders, could be introduced in the plan, especially if more power plants are put in work.

Near Nordberg School, at the the less traveled road, is this memorial pilar in honour of Sylvester Sivertson, the great poet!

The country festival at Skjaaköygarden (Nordberg) this year featured Joy, Steffen and Becky among many more.

Phuuu! A country for old men (like me in the picture), luckily!

Getting Wiser And Older

Are not without benefits, but to get wisdom, you have to work hard, and you must be openminded all the time you read a book etc. Getting old (like me in the picture today) happens by itself (hale... what a miracle?!) Life is full of mysteries, but I prefer to find the natural and scientific reasons behind it all.

Of course there could be some overlap of what we find to be impossible, like some quantum weirdnesses, and some spiritual attached streams. Flickering energies following some kind of patterns that won't be erradicated by time or any means we know of today. Those energies are like a bunch of thoughts in our minds, but won't have any consciousness by themselves (without the brain cells working with those energies). Perhaps similar streams of such energies could be enforced by attaching to each other, and further by putting itself into a living beeing with a nervous system and become a part of that living beeing. A lot of speculations by that theme are possible, and that may get us closer to hypotheses that may be testable one day. I hope people begin to turn their back away from some dogmatic sentences in so called "holy books" and use their own mind and imagination that is more in harmony with science and our born nature evolutioned through eons of time -to come closer to what makes up an universe.

Every Living Beeing

Should be born free like a bird, but no one have to follow the "flow" in every which way. Unjustified cultural, social, religious or political pressure (not only through twitter, you know...) is often forced upon people that really have a somewhat different opinion. Majority rules you may say are democratic, but only if those rules are not totally propaganda with a not true message and denying the BASICS of the minorities (or for that matter; even some majorities). Having the BASICS in place, we are free to do whatever we like to do (critisize etc) within natural limits.

The Scent Of A Woman...

Some women activists here want muslim men and muslim women to pray together in their mosks...

But perhaps a sort of leash between the sexes is a practical solution...?

Rediscovery Of Subtle Details

"We have a divice" - the wellknown phrase of the sci-fi serial "7 Days" is repeated each time a new episode is being played. I love that phrase with a mellow soft female voice - I never tire of it. It's like my brain isn't capable of registre the whole range of vocals and consonnantes in utter details. Much the same goes for some female artists with a lot of variety in their voice - like Kate Bush and our own Lene Marlin... and an American artist I hope to see this year, but I prefer to keep her name not known to the public, in case she doesn't like it mentioned in my blog and would not want to see me if I reveal her name... but would feel a bit outlet if I had not included her somehow in my blog post here... phuuu! The artists are of course a sensitive group with special needs to put into consideration, some of us have learned. I've used this years ESC to prepare for my meeting with her and tried to learn how to behave better this time (it's not so easy to have better manner and politeness for a slob like me with no artists in my family and only working class background).

But don't worry about my minor problems; back to the main reason we prefer to see a film or hear a song over and over. It' s probably in the subtle details that we struggle to take into our brain to store there in with its coworking factors. A song artist can have a lot of difficult words to harmonize with the instruments beeing played - by clever placed chords, that may surprise the listener every time, so the song seem so fresh and delightfull ever time it's beeing played.

This view of mine that I have been wondering about for several years is finally given some support here:

Final Top Ten Results Of ESC 2012

1 Sweden, 2 Russia, 3 Serbia, 4 Azerbaijan, 5 Albania, 6 Estonia, 7 Turkey, 8 Germany, 9 Italy and 10 Spain.

Romania finished 12 and San Marino and Switzerland did'nt even reach the final! This seems only to confirm and strenghten the bad tendencies since the late 80's where showing off in different (and unexpected, amusing or powerfull) ways are more important than the songs themselves. Sad of course, but only what we should expect in an increasing media (of all sorts) crazy world. Sweden with it's more general than usual or neutral ways of international inclusive artistic performance were perhaps doomed to win - their song is forgotten by most people already the day after, I think. Well, some of us at least, don't follow that flow, but I fear we are diminishing in numbers. This means it's getting more and more difficult to buy the high quality stuff of different kinds in the shops with less people supporting the great goods (some of which I have mentioned earlier). To survive even bigger firms follow the easy artificially way instead of their earlier eco friendly way of producing goods. Typically even Coca-Cola here has began adding artificially E-stuff in their bottles to keep low prices - so I don't drink Coca-Cola ("The Not So Real Thing)" anymore. Buggles: "Living in the plastic age" and teared down what is natural and not harmful to ourselves. Organic bananas etc rot in the shops here, just because there are more advertising of bananas with pesticides. The list goes on and on...

ESC 2012

I've heard all 42 songs that compete for a final in this year's European Song Contest 2012, so here is my own list of the top ten songs that I think are best:

 1) San Marino : Valentina Monetta "The Social Network Song (Oh Oh - Uh - Oh Oh)"
 2) Italy : Nina Zilli "L'amore e femmina (Out of Love)"
 3) Switzerland : Sinplus "Unbreakable"
 4) Romania : Mandinga "Zaleilah"
 5) Finland : Pernilla "När jag blundar"
 6) Latvia : Anmary "Beautiful Song"
 7) Cyprus : Ivi Adamou "La La Love"
 8) Belgium : Iris "Would You"
 9) Albania : Rona Nisliu "Suus"
10) Greece: Eleftheria Eleftheriou "Aphrodisiac"

I can't imagine that other songs than 1) - 4) have a chance to win the competition - they are in a class of their own.

A No Time Hero....

A Shield Against Time

Put an atomic clock in a wooden coffin and another atomic clock of the same type in a coffin with same weight and same internal dimensions and same ratio between outer dimensions (heigth:length:depth - H:L:D), but of lead. The clocks are both synchronized at 2 P.M. and put in their coffin side by side at the same time and at the same level over the sea, but when the clocks are checked again at midnight the clocks will show different time!

So what happened?! The lead in the coffin with denser packed atoms would work harder against the expansion of spacetime etc than the atoms in the coffin made of wood. More curled up spacetime around the atoms in the lead would hold back the passage of "events" that follow dimensional tracks trying to reach the atomic clock on the inside of the coffin of lead. Beforehand of this experiment we will know that the clock in the lead coffin slowed down compared with the clock in the wooden coffin. Dig deeper, and we will find the solutions to the age crisis...!

Picture of me today hoping to get a coffin of lead...!

Extreme Weather Caused By Us

 Positive that still more researchers are convinced that we ourselves cause extreme weather:

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/03/120325173206.htm

In my experiments earlier (see older posts) I showed that CO2 or CO2 and traces of certain particles in calm water caused an uneven and delayed melting of ice there compared with ice in pure water - so with CO2 there were outbursts of heat only at some moments to give the ice cube a sidewise pointy edge by those outbursts that probably had one part of warmer current together with a bit cooler one - this meant a regular triangular shaping of the ice cube (opposed to the ice cube in pure water that melted regular with square shape). When I stirred contents there were further delayed melting of ice cubes no matter of how much CO2 or extra particles there were, but there was even and regular melting of the ice cubes - meaning better distributions of heat is of utter importancy in the environment.

In the experiments with calm water the ice cubes floated near the water surface, so the heat currents at the water surface spread along downward the ice cubes and did not go deeper than the lower part of the ice. If there was more heat at the water surface than at the bottom of the ice cubes, I guess there after awhile would be a pointy top edge of each ice cube, but that was not the case. By this I have shown that the experts were wrong to think that CO2 bubbles will isolate against melting of ice, since the sides were straight and the top of ice cubes covered with less CO2 bubbles did not melt faster to give a cavity there!

By stirring the contents I spread the heat below the lower part of the ice cubes, so there was much less heat from currents that would melt the floating ice cubes, and the currents got locked in regular distributions all over. So no wonder the ice cubes lasted much longer after first some stirring. When you have a cool drink with ice cubes you must remember to stirr at once (otherwise the ice cubes will melt much faster and the drink will all in all be less cooled down). Stirred and not shaken, then. Opposite with a hot coffee, hot soup... that will have an early cooler upper part ("skin" in some cases) - stirring will release heat in lower pockets to make the coffee etc feel warmer than without stirring. To make the coffee "last longer", you only stirr at a later moment.

By carefully terraforming the environment man may take controll over the weather when we learn how currents can be spread out and distributed no matter how much heat is added in the system by the sun (and the internal heat from the earth) and no matter how much CO2 and particles (aerosols) there are. But we must cut the releases of CO2 plus particles until we are clever enough. And in the meantime we can use simple terraforming and restoring solutions we already have the knowledge about - no excuse to delay that!

It's A Jungle Out There !

Go see the wilderness this Summer... and perhaps the wilderness sees you! (Carpenters: "...they long to be close to you...";-))

Puzzle I solved during 27 hours - a whole week passed until I finished! (I'm a hard working man struggling with different branches...;-)) Better shape on roller skis on Sunday: I already set a new personal best then by 14,2 km/h during one hour of exercise using classic roller skis with kick brake.

Springtime - Already!

My birdfeeders are empty or almost empty now... record high temperature of 16,5 C at Monday here north of Dröbak! So no snow left as you can see from my balcony. My flag pole has done it's duty for this Winter with much variety of temperatures (more than ever!) - I've shown that CO2 and aerosols together with increased mono cultures around the world must take the blame. It's very important that small turbulences are created in the air because of much variety in the landscapes, and not that still air or violently currents in the air dominate.

But instead of keeping a variety of landscapes and plants - like rocks, small hills and different bushes, people level the ground and burn those plants everywhere in an attempt to keep the landscape open - for more variety, the politicians say... but that is totally crazy! If we want a variety of landscapes, that must be done carefully and gradualy with plant eating animals and earth shifting and aeroating animals like wild boars and moles in their habitats with small hills outside the cities, which also could be transformed with green roofs, etc. A lot of ideas that cost just a little money and brain - but the politicians won't listen! Only a few environment friendly green parties understand this, but they seem never to get much influence most places (also here!) of the world.

Sadly no more ski trips for me this early of Spring, but that is a small sacrifice, of course. Luckily I have my roller skis - I started the season already today; I've never used those roller skis this early of a year before! With my Garmin Forerunner 310XT (picture above) I measured 8 km at 36 minutes and 11 km at 50 minutes - a speed of 13,3 / 13,2 km/h. Best result last year was 14,1 km/h - but that was later in the year, so I think I'll do better this year. Because of more unstable weather during the Winter, I have not been able to use my skis very much, so I have gained several extra kilos; now the scale show 88,5 kilos - ten kilos overweight! 3 - 4 times of roller skiing every week from now on!

My Last Trip To Kikut This Season

Idyllic pond 1,5 km from Kikutstua that looked a bit more opened up today than usually in the crosscountry season. A snowfall in the morning gave me this rare upportunity that I wouldn't miss.

The popular Kikutstua today. The thermometer showed +4C when I arrived at 2 PM, so difficult to get there early, my skis went often backwards - adding kick wax under my skis stopped that, but then snow and ice built up under the middle of them skis. Several stops to brush'em skis. 2 hour 17 minutes on 16 - 16,5 km from Sognsvann (north of Oslo) to Kikutstua, and almost 2 hours back...!

The skis mounted up while I was at Kikutstua, so I guess the business went well there... nevertheless there are great expences to run such a place. Notice the barrel to the right (fer fermentation to keep the expences down?)

Mixing Seriousness And Fun...

Busy times this have been. But fun. And difficult, like mixing business with pleasure:

http://workawesome.com/office-life/successfully-mixing-business-with-pleasure/

So I probably got some errors along in my science work lately... To get to the last part about the first case of water with CO2 plus ice and some traces of lemon juice (lj), I think now that when there are stirred conditions the lj will be spread out too much to enhance segregation, and probably be an obsticle to the CO2 and let the ice melt a little faster than the second case of water + CO2 + ice. A bit like sulfer not to close to moisture+oxygen, I guess, so sulfer only connected with O2 will be an obsticle to CO2 etc in the atmosphere and the formation of smaller air pockets of heat (that may get together and cause an outburst of heat after a while). So the lemon drops will a time after the stirring in the experiment cause a more rapid melting of the ice chip because of sabotage of the build up of "heat cells" due to CO2. That is perhaps why the ice chip in the first case melted faster than the ice chip in the second case.

Phuuu! I think I got this correct, now.... (though my English could be better, naturally!)

I hope this "lab work" of mine (and giants at NRK and their associates) will regain interest in the science community, and not be shuffled aside from the debate about environment and climate this time. We are certaintly not able to terraform Earth in a short period, so our next best option is to stop the increase of aerosols and CO2 parts in the atmosphere. That alone will after several years be enough to stop global warming over our current level, I think. So the "meltdown" will be under our control if we act now... if so, there will be a stable, but lower level of ice etc much like today. It' s not too late today, but "tomorrow"...?!

CO2 and aerosols to blame for temperature differences? Part 3

Continued today 8.30 this morning with suction straws through lids and taped upper end of each straw.  The opening around each straw was sealed by tape. I did a smaller timing error in first trial, so I did a second trial at 9.00. The cup with yellow straw contained FARRIS+ (bottled water plus CO2 plus lemon drops), the cup with red straw contained FARRIS (bottled water plus CO2) and the cup with blue straw contained tap water - every liquid at room temperature at 15 degree Celsius at both the start and the end of the experiment. In each cup I placed an ice cube of similar size before closing the lids and at the same time started the timer at 12 minutes.

At 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 and 2 minutes left on timer, I did a stirring of each cup by using the straws while I counted fast to 12: I started with the yellow straw, then the red and then the blue in the first round; in the second round I started with the red, then the blue and then the yellow; and in the third and final round I started with the blue, then the yellow and then the red. No favorish straw and each round lasted about ten seconds of stirring, so a total of 30 seconds of stirring of each 2 minutes.

When I opened the lids after 12 minutes all ice chips left looked the same in shape and size - and they were all bigger than the ice chips from the first day of experiment (without stirring and at the same duration). The ice chips now were regular, oblong, rectangularish in shape with rounded corners.

Leaving the lids opened I observed that the ice chip in the cup with tap water melted faster and began to reach a more quadratic shape - much like yesterday, and similar the ice chip in the two other cups got a more pointed one end - also like yesterday. But to my surprise the ice chip in the cup marked FARRIS lasted about one minute more than the ice chip in the cup marked FARRIS+. The first trial today also showed that the ice chip in FARRIS cup lasted longer than the ice chip in FARRIS+ cup.

Not until 23 minutes the ice cube in the cup marked WATER was all gone, and 5 more minutes later the ice cube in FARRIS+ cup was all melted, while the ice cube in FARRIS cup lasted a total of 29 minutes!

What does this mean? I think, by stirring, we avoid there beeing segregated warm and cold parts of liquids, so the ice doesn't get so much effected by warm pulses that might suddenly burst out from the warm parts when the ice melt and bring colder currents toward the warm parts (that try to "get away"). The warm parts are of less density than the colder parts, so some warm bursts will reach the surface where the ice cube float (in the case of no stirring). No stirring means the colder currents seek down to the bottom of the cups and we are left with warmer upper parts distant from the floating ice cube, so when the ice still continue to melt and the denser cold currents reach the warmer upper parts, warm parts will be forced to reach the ice cube in an attempt to "get away" - then the melting of ice is faster and still faster.

It seems that the ice chip in FARRIS+ cup melted faster than the ice chip in FARRIS cup due to the probably enhanced force by traces of lemon to stop the currents beeing more evenly distributed a while after I ended stirring, while that was not the case with FARRIS cup where there probably was a slower segregation of colder and warmer parts.

By stirring a little we avoid the segregation and get more evenly distribution of heat (and some is of course lost out of the cup - but I think I minimized that in my experiment). So by transferring this result to "the real world" we see the importance of mixed variety of the environment if we want the world to be regular with stable climate and with little bursts of really bad weather (both cool or hot) and with the glaciers and polar ice cups in same condition. It's not so much about the content of CO2 and aerosols in air and seas if we terraform the Earth to get rid of excessive heat and distribute heat much more evenly than before. Otherwise, the increasing of CO2 and aerosols will be our doom... wake up!

CO2 and aerosols to blame for temperature differences? Part 2

A picture of the cups on a plate at the end of the experiment (do try this at home!), see Part 1.

So why did the ice cube in the cup labelled FARRIS+ melt slower? Well, CO2 dissolved in water and lemon drops both have acid characteristics that perhaps work together. Much like CO2 and sulfer plus moisture in the atmosphere, I guess. Streams of hotter fluids have a tendency to keep the heat they get from surroundings away from other streams that are cooler, if there is no forced convection at work.

The liquids in the cups was not stirred, so warm currents of almost same temperature would easily segregate the most heat effective collecting parts of liquids and follow each other around in the cups. The most effective streams to collect heat would contain both CO2 and lemon traces, and not only CO2. These more narrow streams would isolate the heat from the bigger colder streams of much less CO2 (and less lemon traces), so there would easily be colder streams to dominate the outside of the ice cube in both the cups labelled FARRIS and FARRIS+. That's why the ice cube in the cup containing only water melted faster and more even than the ice cube in the other cups: And the more ablong chip of ice in the other cups confirm a more differentiated environment with greater temperature differences between the currents.

So, yes, more CO2 and aerosols (especially containing acid parts) in the environment must be to blame for increased temperature differences (and more unstable weather) that we suffer under all over the world. The less mixture of  fluids (especially in more calm weather conditions) means that heat are trapped more easily in air and water, so energies are delayed from radiating to space and only leave Earth in bigger, later chunks of energy. That gives the impression that the world is heating up in some periods and some places, and cooling down in other periods and other places. But as long as the level of CO2 and acid forming aerosols are high and still higher, the global temperature will rise totally - though there will be more often snow in The Middle East (but more melting of ice in The Arctic area). IT'S REAL, FOLKS !!!!

I will tomorrow complete my experiment by having taped suction straws through the lids to find out if stirring the content of cups every two minutes cause a smaller difference to the melting of the ice cubes. Perhaps you will try that out for yourselves, too?

CO2 and aerosols to blame for temperature differences? Part 1

An experiment I did today at AM 8.40. I used 0.15 litre of liquid in each of three cups, put an ice cube of same size in each and closed all cups with a lid (taped them all). The liquid in the first cup was plain tap water (labelled WATER), the liquid in the second was bottled water with CO2 (labelled FARRIS), and the liquid in the third was bottled water with CO2 and  a small amount of lemon juice (labelled FARRIS+). All liquids had beeen for three days in the same room where this experiment took place. The temperature in the room at the start and end of experiment was 15 degrees Celsius.

After 12 minutes I opened the cups and saw there was just a small, but still a four squared ice chip left in the cup labelled WATER. In the cup labelled FARRIS there was a more ablong chip of ice left - probably more voluminous than the ice chip in the cup labelled WATER. In the cup labelled FARRIS+ there was also a more ablong chip of ice left, but difficult to see if this one was bigger than the ice chip in the cup labelled FARRIS.

After about 4 minutes later the ice chip in the cup labelled WATER was all melted, but there was clearly still an ice chip left in the two other cups. After about 5 minutes more the ice chip in the cup labelled FARRIS was melted, but the ice chip in the cup labelled FARRIS+ was still hanging on. After still more 3 minutes this last chip of ice was all gone.

This experiment confirm a similar experiment made by a TV crew at NRK a few years ago. The experts then thought the CO2 bubbles isolated against heat reaching the ice cubes, but with my cup filled with water and CO2 plus traces of lemon juice showing a still longer time for the ice cube to melt completely, I don't think that hypothesis is correct. In the next part I will present my own ideas about this.

Hair Today...

Take care of what you got... Bubblicious Cola (bubblegum) might no longer be produced if nobody buy it anymore. It contains natural sugar and no artificial sweetening. The sweater I use is made of a mix of natural cotton and natural wool - that will keep me sufficient warm or cool during all year around. The sweater is made in Vietnam and was bought at Dressmann, the bubblegum was bought at Nille, the hair is my own and not for sale, I'm afraid...

Remember to use your local store - or it will disappear. This is for me a nearby shop (No, it's not from a Batman movie!)

Hot today (+ 3C) and the forecast for the next three days is fair, mild weather... so you better hurry to use your local crosscountry tracks if you live in or nearby The Arctic Zone like me (picture today of a part of the 650 meter long, superb double crosscountry track nearby my flat - I use 3 minutes to complete one round, and half an hour that is about 6 - 7 km in a modest speed)

The Intermediate Forces That Started The Universe? Part I

Some intermediate forces may have been locked by quick four way passages between cells in a sort of matrix where positive (in) and negative (out) flow kept the energy in balance (at total sum of zero). Other intermediate forces on top of these intermediate forces must somehow have made two layers of matrix outside this one (the illustration over) and ripped it appart at the same time when the Big Bang happend, I think. Inspired by professor Matti Pitkänen.

The programme I used to illustrate the first matrix (I hope to complete the two others later):

The Purpose Of Hiccups I Have Worked Out

Still not clearly explained why we sometimes get hiccups and for what purpose:
http://www.buzzle.com/articles/causes-of-hiccups.html

I suspect that the longitudinal and circular muscles that work inside our throat are to be blamed somehow. These muscles are responsible for swallowing the food in a regular order, so that the food will pass flawless further down with no blockade. If the food bits are to lumpy, there might be somewhat less smooth swallowing that occures, instead of the regular, smoother swallowing usually. The purpose is to protect us from swallowing too big bits of food, I guess.

If the bits of food are too voluminous, the order of contractions of the longitudinal and circular muscles no longer work in the usual way, but there might be some stages that are skipped to cause the swallowing to happen faster. A sort of intertwined muscle group appear and that group tries to get back to normal muscular use by loosen up through spasms just after a big mouthful is swallowed (but there is a fealing of some bits still are left in the throat).
The evolutionary benefit of faster swallowing sometimes by skipping stages is to better be ready for escape from danger caused by enemies or predators. Of course there might be some movements of the diaphragm at the same time (the old explanation with no mentioning of what purpose the hiccups has).

Skaaaal (Cheers) !!

Me 27+27 years today... not with beer or firewater, but with Simon Levelt's organic, fairtrade, green tea (bought at Smart Club), this cooool day (-15C or 5F here North of Dröbak). By some stripes of light (sunshine) and a healthy living I hope to reach 27+27+27 years...:-))

...Dots (Continued) - 1) Weather

In clouds the friction of ice crystals may cause the separation of negative and positive charges, but these charges must regroup somehow, and work together to cause lightning, otherwise there would only be little exchange of small electric bursts. So I guess my hypotheses about dots (items) perhaps could explain those often violent bursts of electricity between clouds, cloud parts or clouds + the ground.

The organized charges (items), by this dot hypotheses of mine, are not nesceserily fixed in their position, but vary by a surplus of negative/positive condition and neutral. The neutral condition may last for a very short while, but within that short while the regrouping and denser charge conditon appears, so there will be a possible bigger burst of electrisity if the positive and negative charges are aligned directly towards each other after some regrouping time, I think. The fast movements of charges cause a little wind in the beginning, but wind conditions may grow much by the greater strength of regrouping of charges. At the same time we have ice crystals that smash into and stick to each other - so they also grow (in size); this might sometimes cause the segregation of charges to stop by interfering and dampen the winds, so there will only be rain with no lightning (and no hail).

So I think by this I have disproven the Bergeron process (that is based on complicated and not very likely pressure conditions to appear within clouds) - it's more likely a variety of the building up (and some instances of tearing down) of charges that is behind it all (ice crystal growth, winds, lightning, rain, hail and snow). This view of mine is supported by the fractal nature of clouds and lightning. I hope to get further into intermediate conditions (like neutral) to explain this more thoroughly.

Some Geometric Thoughts...Dots

Just wanted to put on "paper" an idea so I can go to sleep this cold January night (-5 C here).

The idea:

If you put dots in a row on paper by a pencil, you will have only two directions to move the pencil along to connect those dots no matter how many dots there will be. But if you place those dots irregular, you will soon have an enormous variety of dot paths to choose among. But is there a finite answer about how many different paths there will be, I wonder. So is there a pattern of those dots that optimize the total of dot paths? Thinking about that problem (I don't know if anybody has thought of the problem before me) I conclude that there will not be an irregular shape that will optimize the total of dot paths, but a shape that must be symmetric, I think, which must mean that nature itself seek symmetries (but perhaps not reach that goal because of time delays by force interruptions).

It's tempting to think that some sort of spiral outwards from the first dot you make on paper will be the answer. So two similar spiral layers are separated by one with dots where there's an opposite "hole" in those two spiral layers - and visaversa. And the one spiral layer will also pair up with a similar spiral layer with one of those two spiral layers between. Reduce the distance between layers and even dots to almost zero in the spirals, and it will be like making a spiral of same size coins from a fixed point, each coin of second layer etc resting on two others coins ridges.

Think of those layers of coins as positive or negative items (positive and negative attracts), every two times, then the pile is held together. If you mark the items with a plus or minus sign - every two times, you will notice that there will be three plusses grouped with one minus sign (and visaversa with the 4 type nabor group - considering three sprial layers).

With all "4-groups" there will not be possible to keep the same distance between each same layer pairs as between  two items outside the same layer pairs, because the first instance means attractive force and the second means repelling in that cross each 4-groups make. But that is seen isolated - there's an overlap of 4-groups that balance out, I think. So I guess nature will try to keep the same distance between every items if they have the equal amount of charge (negative or positive).
 

Where's The Food?

Remember'em birdies now in the Winter. The snow came here in the lowlands at last in the first days of January. The highlands have been covered by snow since the middle of December. Forcing some birds from the woods, like woodpeckers, to visit cityslickers' bird trays and feeders - like mine!
