Did you know that.....

... the Garden of Eden was not established in the Philippines. Why ? because Adam and Eve will not eat the apple but they will eat the snake. Filipinos are eaters of snake. If they did not sinned, we are not here today. Adam and Eve did not multiply until they sinned.

So God is perfect.

A diamond will break if you hit it with a hammer!
A diamond is the hardest natural substance on earth, but if it is placed in an oven and the temperature is raised to about 763 degrees Celsius (1405 degrees Fahrenheit), it will simply vanish, without even ash remaining. Only a little carbon dioxide will have been released.

Diamonds are formed over a period of a billion or more years deep within earth's crust - about 150km (90 miles) deep - and is pushed to the surface by volcanoes. Most diamonds are found in volcanic rock, called Kimberlite, or in the sea after having been carried away by rivers when they were pushed to the surface.

A diamond is 58 times harder than the next hardest mineral on earth, corundum, from which rubies and sapphires are formed. It was only during the 15th century that it was discovered that the only way to cut diamonds was with other diamonds. Yet, diamonds are brittle. If you hit one hard with a hammer, it will shatter.

The largest diamond
The world's largest diamond was the Cullinan, found in South Africa in 1905. It weighed 3,106.75 carats uncut. It was cut into the Great Star of Africa, weighing 530.2 carats, the Lesser Star of Africa, which weighs 317.40 carats, and 104 other diamonds of nearly flawless colour and clarity. They now form part of the British crown jewels.

The Cullinan was three times the size of the next largest diamond, the Excelsior, which was also found in South Africa. The world's largest documented polished diamond - unearthed in 1986, also in South Africa - is called Unnamed Brown. It weighs 545 carats and was cut down from a 700 carat rough diamond. It took an international team of expert cutters 3 years to complete the masterpiece. Another impressive diamond that also took 3 years to cut, and also is part of the British crown jewels, is the Centenary Diamond. It weighs 273.85 carats and is the world's largest flawless diamond.

Not all diamonds are white. Impurities lend diamonds a shade of blue, red, orange, yellow, green and even black. A green diamond is the rarest. It is not the rarest gemstone, however. That title goes to a pure red ruby. Diamonds actually are found in fair abundance; thousands are mined every year. 80% of them are not suitable for jewellery - they are used in industry. Only diamonds of higher clarity are sourced to the jewellery stores.

Synthetic diamonds
Late in the 19th century, Scottish scientist James Ballantyne mixed lithium with bone oil and paraffin, sealed it in iron tubes and heated it to red hot. He claimed the resultant stones were diamonds. They were stored away and only many years later they were found to be diamonds, although synthetic.

Weighing diamonds
A diamond carat differs from a gold carat. The gold carat indicates purity - pure gold being 24 carats. One diamond carat is 200 milligrams (0.007055 oz). The word carat derives from the carob bean. Gem dealers used to balance their scales with carob beans because these beans all have same weight.

The colourless Cullinan, the biggest diamond ever found, weighed 0,62kg (one and a quarter pound) uncut.

The Greek word adamas is the base word for diamond. It means "unconquerable."

Diamond is the birthstone for April and the anniversary gem for the 10th and 60th years of marriage.

The tradition of a diamond engagement ring started in 1477 when Archduke Maximillian of Austria gave a diamond ring to Mary of Burgundy. The modern tradition is the result of a clever advertising campaign designed by N.W.Ayer in the 1940s. The fact is that diamonds have little resale or investment value.

Tomato world's most popular fruit
The tomato is the world's most popular fruit. And yes, just like the brinjal and the pumpkin, botanically speaking it is a fruit, not a vegetable. More than 60 million tons of tomatoes are produced per year, 16 million tons more than the second most popular fruit, the banana. Apples are the third most popular (36 million tons), then oranges (34 million tons) and watermelons (22 million tons).

Tomatoes were first cultivated in 700 AD by Aztecs and Incas. Explorers returning from Mexico introduced the tomato into Europe, where it was first mentioned in 1556. The French called it "the apple of love," the Germans "the apple of paradise."

Tomatoes are rich in vitamins A and C and fibre, and are cholesterol free. An average size tomato (148 gram, or 5 oz) boasts only 35 calories. Furthermore, new medical research suggests that the consumption of lycopene - the stuff that makes tomatoes red - may prevent cancer. Lycopene is part of the family of pigments called carotenoids, which are natural compounds that create the colours of fruits and vegetables. For example, beta carotene is the orange pigment in carrots. As with essential amino acids, they are not produced by the human body. Lycopene us the most powerful antioxidant in the carotenoid family and, with vitamins C and E, protect us from the free radicals that degrade many parts of the body.

The scientific term for the common tomato is lycopersicon lycopersicum, which mean "wolf peach." It is a cousin of the eggplant, red pepper, ground cherry, potato, and the highly toxic belladonna, also known as the nightshade or solanaccae. There are more than 10,000 varieties of tomatoes.

Tomatoes are used in many food product, including, of course, tomato sauce (ketchup), pasta and pizza. According to a Steel Packing Council survey of 1997, 68% of chefs use canned tomatoes for convenience, quality and flavouring. It hasn't changed much since.

Tomatoes - world's most popular fruit.

A fruit is the edible part of the plant that contains the seeds, while a vegetable is the edible stems, leaves, and roots of the plant.

Cooked tomatoes have higher concentrations of lycopene than non-cooked tomatoes.

Don't store ripe tomatoes in the fridge. Cold temperatures

About the Nucleosome,

The nucleosome composes the basic fragment of chromatin structures that make up eukaryotic (higher tiered oragnisms; humans are within this suprataxa) and prokaryotic (lower tiered organisms; virus, eubacteria, etc).

The nucleosome is composed of the core histone particles; namely the H1, H2A, H2B, H3 and H4. Nucleosomes are designed that the H2A and H2B will form a dimer complex, while the H3 and H4 will form a tetramer complex, thereby constituting the octamer complex seen in the basic core histone processes.

The nucleosome is basal in composition; it is universal, so to speak.

The nucleosome structure of a pea is no more different to that of a cow or a human; actually there are only subtle differences in compositional structure of a human's nucleosome that binds to the plasmodic DNA, and in the nucleosome seen in a common pea.

This universality of development, this basicity in genetic formation is what traces evolution to the explanation in development of organismal taxas.

It is proof of evolutionary discourse; that eukaryotes evolved from a common proto-eukaryotic ancestor.

A universal macromolecule. Which designed a common nucleosome, from which the intricacies of evolution would manifest all its wonders.

Did you know that,

The RNA Polymerase is multi-faceted in its abilities, which are imperative for the stability and function of cells, tissues, tissue systems, organs, organ systems, to the organismal level?

Per se,
The RNA Polymerase I is responsible for the creation of large rRNAs, the RNA Polymerase II is responsible for the creation of mRNA, snRNA, and hnRNAs, whereas the RNA Polymerase II is responsible for the creation and production of 5s rRNAs, and the tRNAs.

These said products are responsible for signal transduction, the transcription, translocation, elongation of DNA in the larger scheme of things. Additionally, they are also responsible for the maintenance of internal homeostasis by providing enough mRNA that messages are replicated throughout the body in the cellular, tissue, and visceral level; which thereby affects the particular organism.

Any mutanogensis of these core RNA Polymerases will thereby inhibit or even abolish transcription and affect the homeostasis of a organism through mitigation of the cells, tissues, organs and organ systems.

Did you know that the RNA Polymerase drives genetic replication?
To which we propagate vis-a-vis offspring.

Did you know that without the RNA Polymerase we would be totally and absolutely dysfunctional and would liquidate due to structural, and internal breakdown?
