Interesting science and other stuff
The Most Abundant and Most Rare Elements? When we talk about this subject, we often assume that we are referring to our Earth. We all know about the most abundant element on earth’s crust (Oxygen- did you get it right?), followed by silicon, aluminium, iron, calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium. Would you be surprised to know that carbon is in the 12th position? There are many surprises in this regard. Taken as a whole, the most abundant element is iron as it forms the core of the earth. The mass of the Earth is approximately 5.98×1024 kg comprising 32.1% iron, 30.1% oxygen, 15.1% silicon etc. Therefore, when we talk of abundant element, we have different answers for earth’s crust and total mass of earth. | 0 | 828 |

How about the Universe? Which are the most abundant elements in the Universe? Some of you may have guessed it- hydrogen followed by helium. It is now estimated that hydrogen forms about 73.9% by mass of the universe, helium about 24%, oxygen (about 0.1%) and carbon about 0.046%. All other elements are estimated to be at trace levels. | 411 | 1,164 |

Here we are only referring to the visible matter – not dark matter and dark energy. In our solar system, hydrogen is the most abundant (70.5%) followed by helium (27.5%) and carbon (about 0.6%). We know that the hydrogen and helium are largely concentrated in the Sun. The abundance of elements depends on their origin and further transformation. Now let us talk about the rarest elements on earth. | 828 | 1,563 |

The abundance of elements depends on their origin and further transformation. Now let us talk about the rarest elements on earth. The term ‘Rare Earth Elements’ is a misnomer since many of them are more abundant than the non-rare earth elements. Noble or precious metals like gold, silver, platinum, iridium etc. are rarer than many of the ‘rare earth elements’. Among the naturally occurring elements, the rarest or scarcest element is astatine (At), a radioactive element in the group of halogens. It is estimated that a total of one ounce (28.35 grams) of At is present at any time on earth. | 1,165 | 2,028 |

It is estimated that a total of one ounce (28.35 grams) of At is present at any time on earth. Considering that the weight of earth is estimated at six million billion billion kilograms, this is indeed a tiny amount!! The other very scarce elements are Francium, technetium, polonium, radium, actinium and protactinium. However, being radioactive, these elements that were present at the time of formation of the Earth have decayed away millions of years ago, and what we get today are from radioactive decays. We know that some of the ‘precious metals’ are very rare and their high prices are attributed to their scarcity as well as demand. Among metals, the most rare is Iridium, followed by gold, rhodium, palladium, platinum and silver. | 1,564 | 2,674 |

Among metals, the most rare is Iridium, followed by gold, rhodium, palladium, platinum and silver. The market value is also determined by the cost of extraction. Platinum, though more abundant than gold, its extraction is more difficult than that of gold, therefore, it is costlier. ( The earlier post on Aluminum proves this point). | 2,029 | 2,908 |

We all need between 6-8 hours of sleep. The personal difference lies in the number of hours each of us require – but this is pretty much the range. Being tired all week adds up and is not really fixable by sleeping a lot during the weekend. A shortage of even one hour per night will somewhat hurt your ability to function properly the next day. Long lack of sleep will cause bad mood and harm your imagination and thinking process. 2. | 443 | 1,126 |

Repetitive thinking about such a subject might make your mind develop obsessive patterns while working the “automatic” mechanism that is in the brain – resulting in bad judgment and much frustration. In order to stop the “loop” process of your brain – you must fill it with different thoughts that will forcibly “reject” the bad thinking pattern. That way you will have some relief from the problem and will let your mind relax and get proper proportions on the subject. A good movie can help with this – or even meeting and sitting with friends. 3. | 731 | 1,719 |

Even if you “don’t feel like it” or that you’re “really” bothered by other subjects, the endorphins that are secreted in the brain after having sexual intercourse will change the way we look at everything a bit, beside the pleasure thats involved. 6.Remind yourself that past bad experiences that looked life changing – now seem meaningless

Take a walk with the dog around the neighborhood or even take a short walk in the park. This will change how you feel and will fade away your tiredness that comes with the end of a day – and will allow you to enjoy your free time even more. 8. Find love and groom it
Love between two people will release Oxytocin, hormone that only appears in an advance stage of a relationship and is responsible for self esteem and general inner peace that loved ones feel. Notice that during the stage of falling inlove, Dopamine is released in the brain, that may make you feel euphoric and excited but this is just a stage and intro to the love and oxytocin a bit later. | 2,328 | 3,636 |

Your blood takes 6 weeks to regenerate, the lungs need almost 20 years to reach their peak, but the time it takes to turn food to fat is only 3 hours! You’d be surprised to know how long does it take our body to heal wounds, digest food and even reach an orgasm
Digestion: 24 hours
It may have taken you 3 seconds to eat a hotdog or a burrito, but the waste wont leave your body until the next day. once the food reaches the stomach, it will be digested into small particles thanks to the acidic environment in a speed of 3-4 calories a minute. The acids in the stomach will have more trouble doing the same to a big and full of fat meal, but a meal containing 600 calories of meat will be in your stomach for around two-three hours. In the next stage, the food will go down the Small intestine where it will continue to be disintegrated and the nutritional components will absorb into your bloodstream, before it will move to the colon for another two-three hours where the salts and water will be extracted from the food. 20 hours later the food will still be in the colon, so the whole process takes about 24 hours.

Surprisingly, your mood has an affect on the digestion process: anxiety can slow down the process because we need more calories to handle the stress. Wound recovery: up to two years
Body tissues take up to two years to recover fully from deep cuts, like those that happen due to surgery, though the process starts the second the ‘damage’ is done. Within less than a second the blood vessels start to tighten up to reduce blood flow to the area, and blood platelets are sent to aid with the clotting. Certain components in the blood like Calcium, Vitamin K and protein create some kind of “net” that hold the platelets in place where the wound is – and the clot begins to form. | 540 | 1,936 |

After a blood donation, it takes the plasma, the transparent-yellow stuff in our blood, about 24 hours to renew and change. The red blood cells that carry the oxygen takes longer, about six weeks. The process starts in cells inside the lungs, that feel that the oxygen levels in the blood are dropping. those cells starts making a protein that move down the bone marrow and waken the process of making stem cells, the building blocks required for the blood cells. | 1,936 | 2,948 |

In average, it takes the liquid about an hour to absorb from the bowels to the blood stream, filter by the kidneys and sent to the bladder. Coffee, that we thought might be accelerating the process – does not go faster in the body, but irritates the bladder and makes us want to use the bathroom more often. Alcohol does make more urine that sends us there. | 2,438 | 3,502 |

Coffee, that we thought might be accelerating the process – does not go faster in the body, but irritates the bladder and makes us want to use the bathroom more often. Alcohol does make more urine that sends us there. An average bladder can hold around 300 ml of liquid, so most people needs to go to the bathroom every 3-4 hours. Healthy men and women takes about 20-30 seconds to empty their bladder, doing so too often and in small quantities may suggest a bladder overwork, perhaps because the brain gets wrong signals it needs to empty it before its full.

To make two div elements in same line display: inline-block is used. An inline block is placed inline (ie. on the same line as adjacent content), but it behaves as a block. Sometime you want to center a div element, use margin-right: auto and margin-left: auto inside style attribute. | 886 | 1,250 |

? Welcome to InterestRates.com, the online resource dedicated to tracking the ups and downs of borrowing money in the world of lending. Most people know that the interest rate is the percent charged, or paid, for the use of borrowed money. Interest is charged whenever money is being borrowed, and interest is paid whenever it is being loaned. The Glossary of Economics Terms sums interest up as "the yearly price charged by a lender to a borrower in order for the borrower to obtain a loan. This is usually expressed as a percentage of the total amount loaned." Since interest rates are percentages of the total loan amount, borrowers will always want the lowest interest rates possible and lenders will seek the highest. The banks are willing to pay their depositors a nominal interest rate because they use that same money to make loans to other people. The banks obviously have to charge a higher interest rate when they make their depositor’s money available as loans or they would not make any money on the loans at all and would quickly go out of business. As a borrower however, your job is to try to get the lowest interest rates with the best terms possible whenever you borrow money, regardless of what you might be borrowing it for. | 0 | 1,365 |

As a borrower however, your job is to try to get the lowest interest rates with the best terms possible whenever you borrow money, regardless of what you might be borrowing it for. The viability of mortgages, home equity loans, auto loans, certificates of deposit, savings accounts and credit cards all depend on the interest rates charged. However, not all types of loans earn the same rates of interest and loans with longer duration and loans with more risk are usually hit with higher interest rates. Because the interest rates are essentially the price paid to borrow money, the rates are determined by the supply loanable funds currently available in the economy and the consumer demand for those loans. Even though the current interest rates in the U.S. today are subject to many external forces in the economy, InterestRates.com is a comprehensive resource to help consumers learn more about the how money is borrowed and paid back and how to get the best rates for the types of loans you may be considering. The largest loans most consumers will ever borrow are usually their home mortgages and even though current rates are at record lows, many buyers won’t be able to qualify for a home loan today because most lenders have significantly tightened their loan qualification guidelines as well as their credit check, income verification and appraisal processes. | 613 | 2,555 |

Montesquieu's Political Analysis of the Woman Problem in the Persian Letters
I-Kai Jeng
The American University in Cairo
Abstract
This paper discusses why Montesquieu sees the woman problem as particularly important for political philosophy through an interpretation of significant passages in his Persian Letters. It defends two claims. First, contrary to a common view that in Montesquieu's ideal political community, men and women each perform tasks that are suitable to their natures, it shows that the true ideal pursued is a gender-free equality. Second, the optimistic picture presented of Parisian politics and mores in Montesquieu's times in the Persian Letters is not meant as an endorsement or justification of French society.

| Second, the optimistic picture presented of Parisian politics and mores in Montesquieu's times in the Persian Letters is not meant as an endorsement or justification of French society. Instead, they are presented positively only insofar as they are potentially transitional stages towards genuine equality. These two claims will be defended as follows. Section 1 introduces the terms by which Montesquieu understands and articulates the woman problem: nature and convention, the standard for evaluating political regimes, and what he means by the "springs" of these regimes. Section 2 turns to a close analysis of the un/equal love relations between men and women in Persia (representing despotism), Paris (monarchy), and a love story symbolizing republican regimes. In that section it becomes clear that a republic and the gender equality it entails constitute the desirable, if practically infeasible, ideal in Montesquieu's estimation. Section 3 concludes with a close reading and comparison of three letters in the novel, which suggest both Montesquieu’s moderate optimisim concerning reform within monarchy and bleak prospects for improvement within despotism. Keywords: Political/Private Parallel, 18th Century European Politics, Love, Gender, Feminism
Equality between the sexes is nowadays by and large taken for granted as a legimitate social and political demand. | 872 | 2,245 |

Equality between the sexes is nowadays by and large taken for granted as a legimitate social and political demand. But the acceptance is not universal, and even those who agree on the desirability of equality do not necessarily agree on the particulars concerning how it is to be realized. This paper will argue that Montesquieu endorses a specific kind of equality of sexes through an interpretation of key passages in his epistolary novel and seminal work on the woman problem, the Persian Letters (hereafter PL ). [ 1] The interpretation will establish two points in particular. First, contrary to a common view which understands Montesquieu's ideal political community to have men and women performing tasks suitable to their sexes, it will argue that his ideal of equality allows for fluidity between "masculinity" and"femininity." [ 2] Second (both as evidence in support of the first and as a claim in its own right), Montesquieu does not idealize (and thus does not justify)the relation between men and women in Parisian society as portrayed in the PL. | 1,447 | 3,189 |

The praise of Parisian society made through his characters, the Persian travelers Usbek and Rica, is meant to show that Paris is more likely than Persia to potentially become a transitional stage towards the ideal equality Montesquieu envisions. The praise of Parisian societytherefore cannot be seen as an endorsement of the inequality of sexes per se. The PL on the woman problem is worth investigating first because, as will become clear below, Montesquieu presents a notion of equality that could be a useful resource in contemporary thinking concerning gender politics. But it is also interesting because for Montesquieu, the status of woman in society is not an isolated issue, but actually a key for unlockingthe fundamental character of any society (see e.g. The Spirit of the Laws [hereafter SL] VII.8, XIX.6).

As will be seen below, even men, who often oppress women and are initially beneficiaries of the inequality, do not end up being happy or psychologically healthy.

| is there something like human nature? Furthermore, can we also meaningfully speak of masculine and feminine natures? Montesquieu answers yes to both: insofar as nature is concerned, there is a constellation of common and differentiating characteristics that define menas men, women as women, and both together as humans. [ 5] There are, generally speaking, two major differences that differentiate them. Women are physically weaker than men, but they are compensated by their beauty ( PL XXXVIII). And so women tend to get what they want by their gentle charm, while men often resort to violence or force. These differences concerning beauty and strength can further bring out differences in psychology and intelligence. For example, Montesquieu believes that women are by nature sexually modest due to their less aggressive temper (which is traced to their physical weakness: SL XVI.12, cf. | 6,153 | 7,043 |
