Hygiene

anthrax33 — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 21:13:51 +0800

i came across this when i was watching the discovery channel a few years ago and then i totally forgot about it.
untill a few days back i met a new friend who were doing the diamond water business and she was talking about how good is it to prevent diseases, and all those good stuffs.
while she was explaining it to me, the hygiene hypothesis pops back in my mind.

so, are we overdoing hygiene?

i mean we need to be hygienic up to a certain point like boiling the water b4 drinking, sterilizing scalpels b4 operation but if we like sterilize everything in our life and then 1 day if we come into contact with just a little germs we might fall very ill because our body is so used to a sterile environment.

because of this, our body might react to non harmful substance or pathogens. this is more commonly known as an allergic reaction.
allergic reactions arent common in developing nations but are very very common in developed and industrialized nations.

The Hygiene Hypothesis

In medicine, the hygiene hypothesis states that a lack of early childhood exposure to infectious agents, symbiotic microorganisms (e.g. gut flora or probiotics), and parasites increases susceptibility to allergic diseases by modulating immune system development.

First proposed by David P. Strachan in an article published in the British Medical Journal (now the BMJ), in 1989, the hygiene hypothesis was developed to explain the observation that hay fever and eczema, both allergic diseases, were less common in children from larger families, which were presumably exposed to more infectious agents through their siblings, than in children from families with only one child. The hygiene hypothesis has been extensively investigated by immunologists and epidemiologists and has become an important theoretical framework for the study of allergic disorders. It is used to explain the increase in allergic diseases that has been seen since industrialization, and the higher incidence of allergic diseases in more developed countries. The hygiene hypothesis has now expanded to include exposure to symbiotic bacteria and parasites as important modulators of immune system development, along with infectious agents.

anthrax33 — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 08:51:35 +0800

one day, a man anxiously went to see the doctor.

man : doc, would you examine my left ball? it had turned blue!
after inspection...
doc : good grieve! when did it became like this?
man : this morning i think. found out when i went to the loo at my workplace.
doc : i had never seen anything like this. i think its better that we amputate it.
man : are you sure? will i have any kid later?
doc : dont worry, you still have your right ball.

the next day

man : i think the blue thing might had spread to my right ball...
after inspection...
doc : good god! i think we have to amputate it as well!
man : is there any alternative?
doc : son, this moment is crucial in your life. you must make a decision now before it spreads again
man : alright...(in tears).

the next day

man : doc! it's spreading to my penis!
after a thorough inspection...
doc : son, i am terribly sorry...
man : we need to cut it as well huh.
doc : fortunately no. i made a terrible mistake. it turns out that the color is from your jeans.

AKIRA The Live Action

anthrax33 — Sat, 29 Mar 2008 14:46:00 +0800

cyberpunk and sci-fi lovers should know about AKIRA.
especially kaneda's iconic bike.
it started out as a 6 volume sci-fi manga and then it was made into an animated film.
its well know for its meticulous attention to detail on both the anime and the manga.

now a live action AKIRA is in the workings slated for summer next year.
i hope that they wont screw it up like street fighters or double dragon.

lets see whose the cast.

medium formats

anthrax33 — Sat, 27 Oct 2007 02:26:15 +0800

i saw photographers in the studio used it. and i think they only intend to use it there cos it looks like it weighs 3 tons.
after seeing one, man my hands really gets itchy to get one.
saw a couple of hassleblads and mamiyas costs around 1k - dunno how many ks in ebay.

my questions is, using this type of camera, does the photographer need to figure out the exposure all by himself?
cos this type of camera is like all spring loaded, no batteries needed and therefore no computers and sensors to calculate for you.
if wrong exposure means wasted film (a pack of 5 rolls of fuji velvia 50 120mm films costs around 150 bucks).
one roll of films only provides 10 -12 exposures.

they also have digital backs which means you can have a digital medium format.
but getting one of those means selling off one of my limbs.

one more question is, how much does it cost to develop this kind of film in our regular photo store?

thanks!

Panny dmc lx-2

anthrax33 — Tue, 02 Oct 2007 10:40:33 +0800

i'm planning to get it.
the leica lens, psam func, native 16:9 pics and vids, small form factor are really tempting me.
my question is, how this camera will perform when shooting bokehs?
of course not like the leica noctilux 50mm f/1.0,
but rather on how "apparent" the bokeh is.
can any sifus give any comment on this?
the max aperture is f/2.8 on the lx-2.

Reality check...

anthrax33 — Mon, 25 Jun 2007 22:06:33 +0800

hi there fellow forummers. i am sure that almost anyone have their fair share of dream cars such as a ferarris, aston martins, lambos, skylines, evos, bmws, merc etc. even me myself have one which is a lotus elise (i'm not a speed freak but rather a handyman). although it is not quite difficult buying one of these cars but the problem comes when it is time for their maintainance, petrol consumption, etc.

one of my friend's upline owns a ferarri f360 modena and he said that even the replacement fuel cap (the one which you need to unscrew whenever you are filling up) itself costs 5k. i've seen somewhere in this forum a picture of lambo LP 640's road tax which costs a limb-taking RM 16 or 18k.

so, any of you forummers actually owns any type of sport or luxury car (must be stock and not modded car) or heard from anyone about the maintainance fees or petrol consumption of any sport or luxury cars, please do share. actually it is kinda interesting knowing all this.
