Adhesion – the physics of Space Gardens
 

https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.n...75124035_n.jpg

Adhesion is the force of attraction between atoms or molecules of different substances. One example of this is the adhesion between glass and water molecules – resulting in the creation of a meniscus.

Adhesion occurs in space, but other forces (like gravity) are less powerful. This allowed Nikolai Budarin to take this image in the Russian Lada greenhouse on the International Space Station (ISS).

The stalk supports a drop of water – without bending under its weight. Furthermore, a bubble of air sits suspended, trapped within the droplet

In space, however, the air bubble doesn't rise because there's no buoyancy. The force of molecular adhesion sticks the droplet to the leaf – there's no other force to pull it off.

Happy Birthday, Canaberra

Canberra’s geological roots are reflected in many of its place names, and conversely many of its rocks reflect the local geography in their names.
The view in the photograph is of Black Mountain taken from Mount Ainslie.
Both promontories are the product of geological processes dating back to the Silurian Period.
Black Mountain is formed of “Black Mountain sandstone” sitting atop “State Circle Shale”.
These rocks were laid down around 435 million years ago, when underwater avalanches (turbidites) raced off an ancient continent to the depths of a Silurian ocean.
Our view of them is from Mount Ainslie, formed of the “Ainslie volcanics” – about 425 million years old, these are ignimbrites –
sub-aerial avalanches this time, of burning hot ash and pumice erupted from Silurian volcanoes set in the shallow seas of the (then) continent’s margin.

So, happy birthday Canberra, and as you celebrate 100 years of civic and federal fun, raise a glass of local Riesling (one of the best!) and remember your ancient roots.

This isnt going to end well ..... lol
 

In the early stages of Japanese history, there were female entertainers: saburuko (serving girls) were mostly wandering girls whose families were displaced from struggles in the late 600s.[6] Some of these saburuko girls sold sexual services, while others with a better education made a living by entertaining at high-class social gatherings. After the imperial court moved the capital to Heian-kyō (Kyoto) in 794 the conditions that would form Japanese Geisha culture began to emerge, as it became the home of a beauty-obsessed elite.[6] Skilled female performers, such as Shirabyōshi dancers, thrived.

Scorpio Horoscope for week of March 14, 2013

"I am iron resisting the most enormous Magnet there is," wrote the Sufi mystic poet Rumi. He was wistfully bemoaning his own stubborn ignorance, which tricked him into refusing a more intimate companionship with the Blessed Source of all life. I think there's something similar going on in most of us, even atheists. We feel the tremendous pull of our destiny -- the glorious, daunting destination that would take all our strength to achieve and fulfill our deepest longings -- and yet we are also terrified to surrender to it. What's your current relationship to your Magnet, Scorpio? I say it's time you allowed it to pull you closer.
