She also seems to have an inordinant amount of power for a gardevoir, this combined with the harsh training she was subject to as a kirlia have left her able to hit harder than most alakazam even. Her downfall lies with her hair-trigger temper and her tendancy to "go for the overkill", causing her to use much more force than neccisary for a situation when angred past mild annoyance.

On an somewhat related note, NG is a full-blown pot head and has somewhat of a gun fetish. She has also dated multiple legendary pokemon, although most of that was simply to make Mewtwo jealous.
Even so, life with her trainer quickly became a living Hell after she evolved. Members of the ralts line are natural empaths, and as such they have an inate need for acceptance and love as much as other beings need food or water, and such needs only increase as the creature matures. As a Kirlia, NG wasn't sated with what attention she recieved from her trainer; he was entirely focused on battles when with his pokemon, they were tools to him, only meant to be honed so that they could preform on the battlefield. As such, the mediocre attention for victories and stony harshness for failure were all the attention she felt from her trainer. She pushed herself as hard as she could, but even at her peak he would no more pay any notice to her other than that of a favored tool. Eventually she began resorting to other ways to win his affection, even stooping to offering herself to him in hope it would do something.
Her efforts had the opposite effect, however. Her trainer was not interested in bonding with any of his pokemon as friends, and being homosexual he found her advances that way detestable if not down right disgusting. His annoyance with her grew so great that, even though she was one of the best preforming members of his team, he took her into the woods and simply left her there. Alone. Unevolved. And with no way to take care of herself.

==Life as a Gardevoir==
Despite what others may say, NG's trainer knew how to train battlers. Her mastery of her psionic abilities and ability to think outside of the box are the only things that caused her to survive until she evolved. After becomeing a gardevoir, there was no pokemon wild pokemon that posed much of a threat to her, and after a few vicereal examples to the local mightyena as to what would happen if they tried to attack her she was largely left unassailed. This left her with plenty of free time to jury-rig a sort of hovel to live in. How she figured out how to build and fashion things at all is subject to interpretation, but most likely she just experimented through trial and error until she achieved the desired results. She stayed at the hovel for a few years, including part of the time after she met the other pokemon in the group. At some point in that time she started an herb garden, of which the principle crop was marijuana. Weed has long been used by psychic pokemon and humans to help with meditation and relaxing, and it is not unreasonable that she was introduced to the concept by another psychic during her time with her faglord trainer, but it is likely that NG smokes as much as she does to escape from her past. Regardless, the brain damaged caused by the marijuana has only caused her mental condition to worsen.
==History with the Group==
===Hoenn Area===
NG first came into contact with the group during her first venture onto 4chan. (where she acquired the equipment to do so is unknown, but in all likelyhood she probably just stole it) She first signed on as "Naive Gardevoir", and ironic name concidering she's hardly naive at all, but the name has stuck regardless.
Other noteworthy events during this time period include NG's molestation by [[Frosslass]], devolving into a kirlia and undergoing lazer-hymen-restorage at the hands of [[Deoxys]] , accidently nearly driving [[Samurott]] to suicide. Otherwise, NG played a farily small roll outside of being held with suspition or ignored by the others..
===Mew's House===
At some point in time, Mewtwo took NG, (yes, he stayed with her even after she went full bat-shit) to live with him at his mother's house. Why he thought this was a good idea, no one knows. While present for both OD flooding the house and nearly killing [[General Typhlosion]], and Mew's obsession with baking cookies, NG largely was just part of the collateral damage and clean-up. Otherwise she just hung around and tried to work out her frustrations with Mewtwon about how he went and killed Arceus on his own when he'd promised that she could help, as well as just strains in their relationship in general.

NG survived the ordeal, but lost her left eye in the process. She's never complained about her eyepatch, rather it seems she likes it for some odd reason.
No one knows why she is so fascinated with large, automatic weapons, but she certainly knows how to use them.
Naive Gardevoir, or NG as she prefers to go by, is a gardevoir that has been around the RP for some time. She is responcible for numerous bad things thatimpact the whole of reality, and is possibly the most schizo and second most rediculous being to ever live.

Synopsis and Personality
NG is far from typical for what a gardevoir should be. While certainly highly emotional, innately caring and loyal, and a very capable psychic, the emotional scars from her child hood have caused caused her to develope what could be called a form of schizophrenia. He mood and antics vary wildly, from innocent sweetness, to rowdy joking around, to lustful teasing, to a desire to obliterate anything and anyone she sees. In no particular order. She does show signs of intelligence, as evidenced by her ability to live on her own in the wilds without any prior training or experience and the cleaver and
Gardevoir Goes To The Convenience Store (English Subtitles)
An average night of NG
NG was born in a steel crate at an unknown time aboard what she later rationalized to be some sort of cargo ship. Her mother was stock in an underground breeding ring, and while NG did not know her mother for more than a month or so, some of her fondest memories are, rather ironically, of when the two were locked together in the crate. From NG's account, her mother "always smiled, and always was able to distract [her] from the ugly reality [they] were in." As soon as her mother's "owners" arbitrarily decided she was old enough, she was taken from her parent and put up for sale by the breeding ring, most likely destined for a pillow palace or to pleasure some pervert with more money than morals.
Trained Life
As it happened, nothing so basal was her fate, although if asked, she honestly could not say she would prefer what did happen. Only a few months old, NG was purchased by a trainer in his late teens; how he came about the money to buy a highly sought pokemon such as a ralts, let alone how he knew which channels to go through to purchase her where he did remain a mystery. All that is known, is that he didn not desire NG to "love him" as her mother had warned her would most likely be the case; he was dead serious as a trainer, and had only acquired a ralts for the powerful psychic type it would evolve into. As such, NG was well treated under his care compared to what she had been subject to previously, she enjoyed all the freedoms that trained pokemon are familiar with.
Life as a Gardevoir
History with the Group
===Hoenn Area=== NG first came into contact with the group during her first venture onto 4chan. (where she acquired the equipment to do so is unknown, but in all likelyhood she probably just stole it) She first signed on as "Naive Gardevoir", and ironic name concidering she's hardly naive at all, but the name has stuck regardless.
Her first encounter with a member of the group was with Mewtwo. She noticed that he souht training of all kinds in order to grow stronger. Being a natural empath, NG knew how potent emotions could be in many areas, especially a psychic, so she volunteered to be Mewtwo 's "emotional trainer." What this entailed exactly is unknown, apart that copious amounts of marajuana were smoked to "facilitate" the training.
As one could expect, two psychics high off weed and discussing emotions and other similar subjects led to a relationship between the two. It isn't known exactly when, but this relationship is largely responcible for drawing NG out to meet the other pokemon in person. It is also what caused her to nearly destroy everything in a blackhole after the third or so day together because she thought Mewtwo was cheating on her.
Apart from Mewtwo, the only other pokemon she formed a sort of friendship with was Zoroark. She admired OD and Xatu greatly for their excentric personalitys and Xatu's pot-smoking prowess, but otherwise she was rather shy and didn't do much to befriend anyone else.
Other noteworthy events during this time period include NG's molestation by Frosslass, devolving into a kirlia and undergoing lazer-hymen-restorage at the hands of Deoxys , accidently nearly driving Samurott to suicide. Otherwise, NG played a farily small roll outside of being held with suspition or ignored by the others..
Mew's House
Despite what this article would lead you to believe, there were happy times for the couple, but they were as short-lived as they were boring so they won't be mentioned here.
At some point in time, Mewtwo took NG, (yes, he stayed with her even after she went full bat-shit) to live with him at his mother's house. Why he thought this was a good idea, no one knows. While present for both OD flooding the house and nearly killing General Typhlosion, and Mew's obsession with baking cookies, NG largely was just part of the collateral damage and clean-up. Otherwise she just hung around and tried to work out her frustrations with Mewtwon about how he went and killed Arceus on his own when he'd promised that she could help, as well as just strains in their relationship in general.
Said relationship took a very convoluted turn when Mewtwo did something yet again to upste her. This time instead of beating someone or something up, NG took a rather unusual course of action and fled off into the night; straight into the claws of a hydreigon that had been sent to hunt down Mewtwo. NG survived the ordeal, but lost her left eye in the process. She's never complained about her eyepatch, rather it seems she likes it for some odd reason.
Despite being told not to do so by Mewtwo, before she was fully recovered she followed after him and the group he'd assembled to assault the Team Rocket Headquarters and put an end to the attacks against him. Unable to fully employ her psyonic abilities, largely due to a concussion, she instead did battle with the MG-42 she'd recently acquired by unknown means, using what psychic power she could muster to carry and aim the large gun. She escaped the assault without any further injury and minus several thousand dollars worth of ammunition. How great of a role she played is debatable, but she maintains that had she not stepped in to kill an enemy alakazam when she had things would have ended much more unfavorably.
During her stay at Mew's house, NG also formed a friendship with General Typhlosion. Eventually it came out that he had feelings for her beyond what she was comfortable with, and the frequent clashes he had with Mewtwo over how he treated her, along with the unceasing attacks against Mewtwo eventually led to him attempting to leave as "everyone would be better off without him". Of course, being the master of sneakign off that Mewtwo was, NG caught him and after much heated arguing convinced him that she was going with him whether he liked it or not. The two traveled to Almia and wandered the island together for a time.
Post Groudon Arc
Eventually NG appeared at General's house alone, sayign that she and Mewtwo were "taking a break" from their relationship. Little of note happened here until Mewtwo himself appeared. Apparently he'd never agreed to this "break" and NG had just left after satating her intentions. Needless to say he was mildly upset at her for this, so when Rayquaza showed up and revealed that NG had been dating him the entire time, hilarity chaos ensued. NG had only been with Rayquaza inorder to make Mewtwo jealous, but an all-out battle between the legendaries for each-other's heads. Mewtwo eventually resorted to using Amnesia in order to keep Rayquaza from getting the upper hand, resulting in him losign all memories of him and NG, as well as everything that had changed him from being the blood-thirsty monster Team Rocket had made him to be initially. This terrified NG, both because of what this could mean for the world and because she knew that once again it was ll her fault. She was able to persuade Mewtwo into sharing her memories of the two of them in hopes of returning him to his more peaceful state, and succeeded. Mewtwo revealed, however, that he had whipped his memory because he was unsure how he felt about NG after all of her antics and that somehow this outcome would provide that answer as well as sate his fears of how she felt about him. He went on to say that he was now convinced that she really did care and that he felt the same.
This did not have the effects on NG that Mewtwo had hoped, however. She could not comprehend how they could have been so close when he wasn't even sure if he liked her. She felt betrayed, lied to, she thought Mewtwo would trust her actions no matter how stupid they actually were, but mostly she thought he felt the same way about her. The ensuing shouting match did little to save the crumbling relationship, and NG ultimately decided that after this she was unable to put her trust in Mewtwo any more. The two have been single ever since.

How Much Does it Cost to Service Air Conditioning in Newmarket?
Air conditioning in Newmarket provides a more comfortable environment inside a home or business establishment during hot weather seasons. There are a lot of benefits that come along with installing air conditioning unit in Newmarket. It can reduce the humidity inside a room with its dry mode system. It operates silently ensuring no disturbance during night time. Due to the need of keeping every window and door securely closed when utilizing air conditioning, insects and bugs can be eliminated from the house. Not only these, but air conditioning also helps in maintaining and improving the air quality inside a room. Air conditioning is truly a great innovation in today's world where heat can become so unbearable.
An air conditioning unit in Newmarket typically costs between $108 to $925 to be installed. That is for centralized air conditioning units. For a much smaller window air conditioning unit, the price is about $300. Air conditioning brands and types can add up to the general cost of acquiring an AC. The price range for a brand air conditioning unit is from $1400 for Payne units up to $3400 for a Lennox brand. Other available brands of air conditioners are Aire-Flo and Coleman which cost around $1700, Frigidaire for $2900, American Standard and Carrier that are both priced at around $3200, and Trane for approximately $3300.
It is critical to have a thought-out decision concerning a new Newmarket air conditioning system just before beginning an installation since this can determine a large proportion of the cost. A homeowner will also be billed for the items involved in the installation, along with the air conditioning unit and chemicals to be used. It is advised to check with the specialist to see whether it may possibly lower the expenses by buying the air conditioning system or by simply using a pre-existing heating system ductwork at home.
Is it recommended to shut the Newmarket air-conditioner vents in rooms that are unused and closed?
If constructed in the right way, the air delivery process at your residence is actually sized depending on the flow requirements of the product and each room. Shutting off vents can produce a pressure discrepancy throughout the system which might reduce the effectiveness of your cooling system. By closing off registers, the amplified pressure inside the ducts can also result in amplified duct leakage.
Should I leave interior doors in Newmarket open or closed during heating and cooling?
Considering that air-conditioning systems inside our homes are closed-loop systems, they are made to move a particular amount of air throughout the house. Shutting bedroom doors results in the increase of air pressure in those rooms. The air-conditioning unit forces air in, but is unable to have it back out. This can cause the machine to force conditioned air right out of the bedroom beneath the door and through crevices or drip across the windows, wall plates, and ceiling fixtures, attracting this way hot attic or outside air by way of similar crevices and air leaks in the rest of the house.
How does an air conditioner (AC) work in Newmarket?
Air conditioners carry out two essential works: heat removal and moisture removal, even in places, where there are monsoon months with higher-than-normal moisture concentrations. The lower the dampness level, more comfortable you will feel at a given temperature. As your hot indoor air is drawn up over the filter, it moves over a very cold coil wherein the heat and moisture are removed. If you've observed a PVC pipe running off your roof that drips water, that's the moisture removed away from the home.
Coleman furnace in a double wide ranch house will not work; has propane and breakers are fine. Need a repairman to come out and look at please.
Our boiler has stopped pumping head to the house. Fan is new and water is still getting hot just not getting any heat to the home.

Could Betsy DeVos Reject a State's ESSA Plan for Not Embracing Choice? No.
Your Education Road Map
Politics K-12®
ESSA. Congress. State chiefs. School spending. Elections. Education Week reporters keep watch on education policy and politics in the nation's capital and in the states. Read more from this blog.
By Alyson Klein — March 30, 2017 3 min read
U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos told an audience at the Brookings Institution Wednesday that she wouldn't necessarily approve every state's plan for the Every Student Succeeds Act right off the bat. And at the same event, she continued to push her favorite policy: school choice. (More from Andrew here.)
DeVos didn't say specifically that states would have to embrace choice in their plans in order to pass muster with the department. But the juxtaposition still had some folks nervous, including Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., who told Politico that she hopes DeVos "clarifies her comments and makes it clear that she does not plan to threaten states or hold their proposals hostage unless they conform to her privatization agenda." UPDATE: A department official did, indeed, clarify DeVos' remarks to US News and World Report. DeVos wants to "encourage" states to consider choice in developing plans for the law, the official said.
Could DeVos legally reject a state's plan because it didn't include choice, even if she wanted to?
Short answer: That would be a violation of ESSA, some experts say.
Longer answer: Both Democrats and Republicans who worked on ESSA say doing that would violate the long, long list of prohibitions on the Education Department's authority in the law, one of which says the secretary can't tell states what kinds of interventions they can or can't use with their lowest-performing schools.
To be sure, there are definitely parts of ESSA that choice lovin' states and districts can get excited about. The law allows states to set aside Title I money for course choice, free tutoring, and public school choice. It permits states and districts to offer public school choice to students in struggling schools, or turn low-performing schools into charters or magnets. And it gives 50 districts the chance to try out a weighted student funding pilot. The pilot could smooth the way for choice programs in districts that are interested in creating them, but doesn't have to be used for choice. (More on how DeVos can use ESSA to push choice here.)
Importantly, though, all those things are totally and completely optional.
DeVos can use her megaphone as education secretary to draw attention to the parts of ESSA that states and districts that are gung-ho on choice can use to their advantage. But she can't reject a state's application if they say thanks-but-no-thanks to setting aside some Title I funds for course choice.
"She can cajole, plead, request, etc. but she cannot require," said a Senate GOP aide who worked on ESSA.
UPDATE: A Democratic aide was less certain. "We've been examining the law for months in anticipation of a successful [effort to scrap the Obama administration's accountability rules]," the aide said. "We have been examining this issue and believe the department may have sufficient wiggle room to push a choice agenda through plan approval, including private school choice."
Another expert, Anne Hyslop, a former Obama administration official who worked on ESSA and is now at Chiefs for Change, tweeted that she has difficulty a way for the department to reject a state's plan based on a lack of choice.
@benjaminjriley short answer: based only on statute, having a hard time finding the hook. Choice is totally optional in title I.
— Anne Hyslop (@afhyslop) March 29, 2017
Hyslop also pointed out that the word "choice" doesn't even appear in the ESSA application template the Trump administration released this month:
@benjaminjriley To boot, the new plan template doesn't mention choice at all, & parents only twice (re: tests in native languages & n-size)

Jews paid to spread propaganda
Postby Hannover » 4 years 7 months ago (Tue Jun 16, 2015 3:40 pm)
There's nothing quite like the wolves accusing their prey of being a threat
There's nothing quite like blatant violent, racist, ethnic cleansing Zionists accusing others of what Zionists actually do.
aka: projection
Only for racist Jews is criticism of any aspect of their immoral behavior considered unacceptable.
Only for what benefits the financial and social preference interests of racist Jews do we see massive efforts to censor free speech and scrutiny of an alleged historical event when no other alleged historical events garner the same censorship.
Public image is also a paramount concern to Israeli officials. The prime minister's office oversees a national initiative for "hasbara" — a Hebrew term that officials translate as public diplomacy and critics call propaganda. This initiative is intended to combat what officials see as popular discourse that goes beyond legitimate criticism of Israeli policies and constitutes hate speech that threatens the very legitimacy of Israel's existence.
"We are (operating) on four fronts: The military front, the home front, the diplomatic front and the public diplomacy front," Netanyahu said. "We must fight for the truth, for the facts, and your help is worth more than gold … refuting the industry of lies."
"Propaganda", yes, without a doubt.
Right, Israel is based upon easily exposed lies (the bogus '6M & gas chambers'), the indigenous population is kept in very real death camps, therefore violent apartheid 'Israel' as an exclusively Jewish state has no right to exist. That's more than reasonable.
When a regime and it's rabid followers engage in wanton mass murder, ethnic cleansing, and land seizures it becomes difficult not to have feelings of "hate", imagine what Palestinians must feel.
"Industry of lies"?
Right. As if it's profitable to tell the truth about Jewish supremacists. Quite the opposite.
As if telling the truth about history is lying.
There are valid & fair reasons for the description 'Jewish supremacist'.

Israel to pay students to defend it online
[Jews wave flags at Auschwitz labor camp]
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel is looking to hire university students to post pro-Israel messages on social media networks — without needing to identify themselves as government-linked, officials said Wednesday.
The Israeli prime minister's office said in a statement that students on Israeli university campuses would receive full or partial scholarships to combat anti-Semitism and calls to boycott Israel online. It said students' messages would parallel statements by government officials.
"This is a groundbreaking project aimed at strengthening Israeli national diplomacy and adapting it to changes in information consumption," the statement said.
An Israeli official said Wednesday that scholarship recipients would be free to decide whether or not to identify themselves as part of the program, which would begin within months.
"Everyone who believes in the cause, and wants to join, can join," he told The Associated Press. He said the office was looking to budget $778,000 for the project, and that the national Israeli student association would select participants from a pool of applicants.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity as the project is still under development and he wasn't authorized to speak publicly about it.
The Israeli daily newspaper Haaretz identified the official heading the project as Danny Seaman, a public diplomacy official who has written posts on his personal Facebook page which Haaretz described as being incendiary and anti-Muslim.
Haaretz posted what it said were four screen shots of his recent posts. In one of them, Seaman wrote: "Does the commencement of the fast of the Ramadan mean that Muslims will stop eating each other during the daytime?" In another, he uses profanity in a comment about the chief Palestinian peace negotiator.
The Israeli official said Seaman's posts were "unacceptable and do not reflect the position of the Israeli government." He said the national communications directorate in the Prime Minister's Office had instructed Seaman to "immediately cease from making such pronouncements."
Seaman declined comment, and the posts could no longer be seen on his Facebook profile on Wednesday.
The official from the prime minister's office would not say whether Seaman would be the project's director. Seaman, a former director of the Government Press Office, had a contentious relationship with the international media and banned Palestinians from receiving government press cards during his tenure.
Israel isn't the only country to set up such a system. In China, members of the so-called "fifty cent army" sprinkle positive, pro-government messages across the web and social media.
The Israeli army has set up an "Interactive Media" division of a few dozen soldiers tasked with spreading the army's message on social media sites.
When Israel's army launched an offensive on Gaza militants late last year, the Israeli government set up a "media bunker" with hundreds of young volunteers posting updates reflecting Israel's point of view. Many Israelis believe the international news media are anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian.
At the time, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the volunteer media recruits in a video conference.
If it can't happen as alleged, then it didn't.

Bulbophyllum shepherdii, commonly known as the wheat-leaf rope orchid, is a species of epiphytic or lithophytic orchid that forms a dense mat of branching rhizomes pressed against the surface on which it grows. The pseudobulbs are well spaced along the rhizome, each with a single egg-shaped leaf and a single small, white or cream-coloured flower with yellow tips. It grows on trees and rocks in rainforest and is endemic to eastern Australia.

Description
Bulbophyllum shepherdii is an epiphytic or lithophytic herb with branching rhizomes forming a dense mat on the substrate. The pseudobulbs are more or less spherical but flattened  in diameter separated by . Each pseudobulb has a grooved, stalkless, elliptic to egg-shaped leaf  long and  wide with a channelled upper surface. A single white or cream-coloured flower with yellow tips,  long and  wide is borne on a flowering stem  long. The flowers do not open widely. The sepals and petals are fleshy, the sepals  long, about  wide and the petals about  long and  wide. The labellum is reddish brown, about  long and  wide with smooth edges and a sharp bend near the middle. Flowering occurs from March to August.

Taxonomy and naming
The wheat-leaf rope orchid was first formally described in 1859 by Ferdinand von Mueller who published the description in Fragmenta phytographiae Australiae from a specimen collected by T.W. Shepherd. In 1870 Heinrich Gustav Reichenbach changed the name to Bulbophyllum shepherdii. The specific epithet (shepherdii) honours Thomas William Shepherd who collected the type specimen.

Distribution and habitat
Bulbophyllum shepherdii grows on trees and rocks in rainforest and wet forest between Nambour in Queensland and Bega in New South Wales.

Q: Is there a way to tag a post/question so that you get notifications when someone answers it? So I read a question and thought: 'what a smart question, I want a good answer to this question too'. So by commenting or answering I would get notifications, but I'd rather not spam that good question with comments if I don't have a good one or answering when I don't have an answer.
If there is a button saying 'follow this post', where is it? And if not could that be created? By getting a notification that a question you are interested has been answered, would be more handy than trying to remember the question and searching afterwards.

Flawless Victory over Lahore, greatest tank battle at Chawinda, M.M. Alam's 5 kills in one minute, Major Aziz Bhatti, and Nishan e Haider; 1965 war is all about tales of bravery.
The spirit of 1965 war of India and Pakistan is still alive. It has been more than half of the century since the 1965 war happened, but the memories of bravery and courage of Pakistan army and nation is still cherished in hearts.
Every battlefield of 1965 war is shining bright with the stories of bravery, courage, valor, and patriotism. Pakistan army stood like a solid wall against enemy to defend their homeland.
Melodious voice of Madam Noor Jahan, and Mehdi Hasan gave more courage to the fighting soldiers and helped in boosting their moral.
Brave people of Lahore used to stand on their roof top to witness the passing fighter jets of Indian and Pakistan air forces.
In 1965 Indo-Pak war, Pakistan had limited stock of ammunition and weapons as compared to the Indian army, but the gallant and bravery of Pakistani soldiers was much higher to eradicate this difference.
Whether its Khem Karan, Chawinda, Chamb, or Wagah border, Pakistani army defended their homeland on every battlefield and defeated the enemy.
During this 17 days 1965 war, Pakistan was able to occupy 1617 square miles area of India. 1039 Pakistanis were martyred during 1965 war. However, around 9500 Indians were killed during 1965 war.
In 1965 war, Pakistan's 14 aircrafts, 165 tanks were destroyed, whereas, India lost 110 aircrafts, 475 tanks in the battle.
Due to this heavy loss in September 1965 war, India contacted the United Nations council to intervene and end this war.
Defence Day of Pakistan brings back the golden memories when motherland was defended against the four times bigger enemy. Let's pledge to support our brave army and take measures to defend every inch of our homeland. AMEEN.

The Realm of Randomia
Happy New Year of smokin' batteries!
How are your resolutions going?
Mine's good. Second day of not smoking. Took me a little past New Years to decide on it, but my Dad and Mr. Random are both quitting too, so I figured it was sign that it was officially time. I quit for a few months last year, but stresses caused me to pick it back up. I keep picturing Little Random's face everytime I want to smoke. So far it's working.
Wikipedia time!
1. Go to wikipedia.com
2. On the left side there's a button that says "Random Article", click on it.
3. Read. Copy and paste, and share! :)
Here's mine.. I got a good one today!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baghdad_Battery
The Baghdad Battery, sometimes referred to as the Parthian Battery, is the common name for a number of artifacts created in Mesopotamia, in during the Iranian dynasties of Parthian or Sassanid period (the early centuries AD), and probably discovered in 1936 in the village of Khuyut Rabbou'a, near Baghdad, Iraq. These artifacts came to wider attention in 1938 when Wilhelm König, the German director of the National Museum of Iraq, found the objects in the museum's collections. In 1940, König published a paper speculating that they may have been galvanic cells, perhaps used for electroplating gold onto silver objects.[2] This interpretation continues to be considered as at least a hypothetical possibility. If correct, the artifacts would predate Alessandro Volta's 1800 invention of the electrochemical cell by more than a millennium.
The artifacts consist of terracotta jars approximately 130 mm (5 in) tall (with a one and a half inch mouth) containing a copper cylinder made of a rolled-up copper sheet, which houses a single iron rod. At the top, the iron rod is isolated from the copper by bitumen plugs or stoppers, and both rod and cylinder fit snugly inside the opening of the jar, which bulges outward towards the middle. The copper cylinder is not watertight, so if the jar was filled with a liquid containing citric acid, this would surround the iron rod as well. The artifact had been exposed to the weather and had suffered corrosion, although mild given the presence of an electrochemical couple. This has led some scholars[who?] to believe lemon juice, grape juice, or vinegar was used[citation needed] as an acidic electrolyte solution to generate an electric current from the difference between the electrochemical potentials of the copper and iron electrodes.
König thought the objects might date to the Parthian period (between 250 BC and AD 224). However, according to Dr St John Simpson of the Near Eastern department of the British Museum, their original excavation and context were not well recorded (see stratigraphy), so evidence for this date range is very weak. Furthermore, the style of the pottery (see typology) is Sassanid (224-640).[3]
Most of the components of the objects are not particularly amenable to advanced dating methods. The ceramic pots could be analysed by thermoluminescence dating, but this has apparently not yet been done; in any case, it would only date the firing of the pots, which is not necessarily the same as when the complete artifact was assembled. Another possibility would be ion diffusion analysis, which could indicate how long the objects were buried.
[edit]Electrical
Copper and iron form an electrochemical couple, so that in the presence of any electrolyte, an electric potential (voltage) will be produced. König had observed a number of very fine silver objects from ancient Iraq which were plated with very thin layers of gold, and speculated that they were electroplated using batteries with these being the cells. After the Second World War, Willard Gray demonstrated current production by a reconstruction of the inferred battery design when filled with grape juice. W. Jansen experimented with benzoquinone (some beetles produce quinones) and vinegar in a cell and got satisfactory performance.
However, even among those who believe the artifacts were electrical devices, electroplating as a use is not well regarded today. Paul Craddock of the British Museum said "The examples we see from this region and era are conventional gold plating and mercury gilding. There's never been any untouchable evidence to support the electroplating theory."[4] The gilded objects which König thought might be electroplated are now believed to have been fire-gilded (with mercury). Reproduction experiments of electroplating by Dr Arne Eggebrecht consumed "many" reproduction cells to achieve a plated layer just one micrometre thick. Other scientists noted that Dr Eggebrecht used a more efficient, modern electrolyte; using only vinegar, the battery is very feeble.[citation needed]
An alternative, but still electrical explanation was offered by Paul Keyser. It was suggested that a priest or healer, using an iron spatula to compound a vinegar based potion in a copper vessel, may have felt an electrical tingle, and used the phenomenon either for electro-acupuncture, or to amaze supplicants by electrifying a metal statue.[citation needed] However, this is dubious, since a "tingle" requires a far higher voltage than can be generated by an iron/copper cell.[citation needed]
[edit]Non-electrical
Skeptical archaeologists see the electrical experiments as embodying a key problem with experimental archaeology, saying that such experiments can only show that something was physically possible, but don't confirm whether it actually occurred. Further, there are many difficulties with the interpretation of these artifacts as galvanic cells[citation needed]:
the bitumen completely covers the copper cylinder, electrically insulating it, so no current can be drawn without modifying the design;
there are no wires or conductors with them;
no widely accepted electrical equipment is associated with them. (Controversial stone reliefs depicting arc lights have been suggested, however the voltages obtained are orders of magnitude below what would be needed to produce arc lighting);
a bitumen seal, being thermoplastic, is excellent for forming a hermetic seal for long term storage. It would be extremely inconvenient however for a galvanic cell, which would require frequent topping up of the electrolyte (if they were intended for extended use).
The artifacts strongly resemble another type of object with a known purpose—namely, storage vessels for sacred scrolls from nearby Seleucia on the Tigris. Those vessels do not have the outermost clay jar, but are otherwise almost identical. Since it is claimed these vessels were exposed to the elements, it would not be at all surprising if any papyrus or parchment inside had completely rotted away, perhaps leaving a trace of slightly acidic organic residue.
[edit]In the media
The idea that the battery could have produced usable levels of electricity has been put to the test at least twice.
On the 1980 British Television series Arthur C. Clarke's Mysterious World, Egyptologist Dr. Arne Eggebrecht used a recreation of the battery, filled with grape juice, to produce half a volt of electricity, demonstrating for the programme that the battery could electroplate a silver statuette in two hours, using a gold cyanide solution. Dr Eggebrecht speculated that museums could contain many items mislabelled as gold when they are merely electroplated.[5] However, doubt has recently been cast on the validity of these experiments.[6]
In 1999, the Disney Channel original TV series So Weird featured the battery in the opening portion of the show.
The Discovery Channel program MythBusters determined that it was indeed plausible for ancient people to have used the Baghdad Battery for electroplating or electrostimulation. On MythBusters' 29th episode (which aired on March 23, 2005), ten hand-made terracotta jars were fitted to act as batteries. Lemon juice was chosen as the electrolyte to activate the electrochemical reaction between the copper and iron. (Oddly enough, it was discovered that a single lemon produced more voltage than one of the batteries when using copper and zinc.) However, the batteries which they reproduced did not produce a substantial amount of energy and had to be connected in series in order to achieve a 4 V potential drop and test the theories.
The show's research staff proposed three possible uses: electroplating, medical pain relief (through acupuncture), and religious experience. It was discovered that when linked in series the cells indeed had sufficient power to electroplate a small token. For acupuncture, the batteries produced a "random" pulse that could be felt through the needles; however, it began to produce a painful burning sensation when the batteries were grounded to two needles at once. For the religious experience aspect of the batteries, a replica of the Ark of the Covenant was constructed, complete with two cherubim. Instead of linking the cherubim's golden wings to the low power batteries, an electric fence generator was connected. When touched, the wings produced a strong feeling of tightness in the chest. Although the batteries themselves had not been used, it was surmised that, due to the apparent lack of knowledge of electricity, any form of electrical sensation from them could equate to the divine presence in the eyes of ancient people. In the end, the Baghdad battery myth was found plausible on all three accounts.
