2500yo ring

20mm wide Blue chalcedony scaraboid, from Kerch (Crimea). A flying heron. Signed Dexamenos epoie Chios.

The master Dexamenos, of Chios, signs four gems, and others can be assigned to him for their style and command of detail, sometimes engraved by hand and not by the cutting wheel. He worked in the third quarter of the 5th century, and seems to have had a fondness for mottled jaspers for his work.

Farking AhBengs shd die

Vernacular schools should be banned.

They produce such farking idiotic AhBengs who think they can tell people eg me, to stop speaking English probably bcos they can't even understand basic Engrand.

An old auntie came over n even she could speak basic, not great Engrand.

Shame on those useless Tongsan worshipping asskissing donkeys.

Purify water with sunlight

EdBaaBaa — Mon, 25 Feb 2019 12:28:05 +0800

Genius Material Kills 99.9% of Bacteria in Drinking Water Using Nothing But Sunlight

Researchers in China have developed a new way to remove bacteria from water that they say is both highly efficient and environmentally sound.

By shining ultraviolet light onto a two-dimensional sheet of a compound called graphitic carbon nitride, the team's prototype can purify 10 litres (2.6 liquid gallons) of water in just one hour, killing virtually all the harmful bacteria present.

This type of technique for water cleaning is known as photocatalytic disinfection, and it is often talked about - and ardently researched - as an appealing alternative to current water filtration systems, such as chlorination or ozone disinfection, neither of which are particularly eco-friendly.

With the world facing a future of climate change and water scarcity, finding an environmental way to clean our drinking water is of the utmost importance.

"The future application of photocatalytic disinfection technology can significantly relieve clean-water scarcity and global energy shortage," explains senior author Dan Wang.

The way this technology works is remarkably simple. Various materials can be used as photocatalysts in water - which means they absorb light and speed up (or catalyse) the oxygen reactions that happen in water in the presence of certain wavelengths of light. These reactions produce molecules known as reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are great at killing microorganisms.

There are plenty of efficient metallic catalysts one can use for this, but unfortunately they shed metal residues into the water. Meanwhile non-metal catalysts, such as nanotubes and graphene, are safer, but less efficient than their metallic counterparts - they don't produce enough ROS to get the job done.

Now, researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing and Yangzhou University (YZU) in Jiangsu think they have at last found a practical, efficient and non-toxic solution.

The key is a synthetic, ultra-thin material with all the right properties to absorb light and produce enough ROS to kill bacteria. Graphitic carbon nitride has attracted ever-increasing attention over the years because of its potential for energy storage.

Using only light, the researchers found that two-dimensional sheets of this material can rapidly purify polluted water. An initial test saw the deaths of 99.9999 percent of all Escherichia coli bacteria in a 50 millilitre sample within just 30 minutes.

That's five times faster than any other metal-free photocatalyst we currently know of. Plus, the reaction only consumes a tenth of the catalyst at a time.

"This remarkably high efficiency is also comparable to that of the best metal-based photocatalysts," the authors write.

The efficiency comes from the unique structure of this material - the researchers loaded the edges of the sheets with carboxyl and carbonyl molecules, which drew additional electrons to these edges.

Hit by ultraviolet and visible light, this whole setup efficiently produced a ROS we all know as hydrogen peroxide. Once in the water, this antiseptic effectively kills bacteria by breaking through their cell walls and wreaking havoc on their insides, before safely dissociating into water and oxygen.

The best part is that the authors say a system like this would not be hard to reproduce on a larger scale. Graphitic carbon nitride can be easily synthesised at a low cost, and the system itself is simple and inexpensive to put together.

"The scale-up for both the catalysts and the device is not difficult," says Wang.

It's a good first step, but the prototype won't be enough on its own to purify water from other contaminants.

"Purification needs other devices for removing heavy-metal ions, adjusting pH, and removing residue," says Wang.

"We need to combine our system with others to meet water-purification requirements."

Kopi pasta from reddit

https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/commen...erything_to_my/

~~~

This situation is complicated, so please excuse the vague title. Also a few minor details have been fudged to provide some anonymity. TLDR at the bottom.

My dad had a marriage before the one to my mother. It was only for a couple of years, but they had one child, my older sister (OS). My mom was her babysitter, and ended up marrying my dad when OS was 5. I was born 9 years later, and then my younger sister (YS) was born two years after that.

After YS was born, my mom decided she didn't give 2 shits about OS, and that OS was “taking resources” from YS and I. I’m not trying to defend her, just give context. She basically prevented our dad from paying for OS to go to college, or helping OS financially in any way, along with pretty badly abusing OS while Dad was away on business trips.

OS is now in her late 30s, I’m in my late 20s, and YS is in her mid 20s. Our dad passed away of heart failure a few weeks ago, and all hell has broken loose.

Apparently, some time ago my dad convinced my mom to divorce him for “tax reasons” (my mom is not good with money) and was paying her a chunk of change in alimony every month while they still lived together. So the will has nothing for her except one small house he owned in the middle of nowhere. YS and I are both given trust funds that pay out a monthly stipend and can be used for certain expenses (weddings, medical bills, grad school, etc). Everything else - the business, the money, all the other houses - everything, was left to OS.

This doesn't really bug me as I wasn't interested in taking up the “family business” and have a decent career on my own, but my mother apparently doesn't have a savings or retirement fund of any kind, and hasn't worked since she babysat OS ages ago. She didn't finish high school, she dropped out to marry my dad when she turned 18.

I tried approaching OS to talk to her about giving something to my mom so she doesn't have to work, but she is pretty firm on making sure that my mom gets nothing. I tried going from the angle that our dad was kind of a predator (he was never faithful to my mom either) and my mom didn't know any better, but OS is of the opinion that being destitute is her “just desserts” for the crap my mom put her through.

I tried to see if maybe mom could contest the will on the grounds of them having a common law marriage (as no one knew they were divorced except them as far as I know), but MO apparently did away with Common Law Marriage in the 1920s.

OS is the executor of the estate, and it’s in probate right now (i think that’s the right terminology, sorry, I’m not a lawyer), but I gave a copy of the will to my friend’s dad who is and he said he’d take a look over the weekend.

My Questions: 1) Can the trust I was given be used to help my mother instead of me? 2) Is there some kind of loophole where we can still get some money from OS to make sure mom doesn't have to work (I know she probably *should* get a job, but she has no experience and is over 50)? 3) If we can’t get money from OS/The Estate/My Trust, am I required to provide my mother with care if she refuses to get a job? I’m hoping to get some answers to these as a sort of “second opinion” alongside friend’s dad’s opinion so I know if I need to be setting aside money for an attorney to fight hard for my mom or just kind of distance myself.

TLDR: My dad was a serial cheater and my mom was admittedly abusive to my OS (more than I’ve mentioned here). Mom and Dad weren't married when dad died, OS got basically everything. Trying to find out if there’s anything to be done for my mom or if she’s royally screwed.

"New Chinese Language site"

In preparation for this momentous occasion, I suggest fast2 translate some k/speak.

Eg I can think of :

Amnoshaft
14th floor
2"
Knnccb - this one mebbe no need translation?
Airport
Ayam
Kambing
Banggala
bora2
bijan
Bik mama
tokok
fucktard
retard

Pls suggest suitable translation into menderin

Inb4 why no "new Tamil language site"? RIOT inkambing
