Kada razmisljam o fizickim promenama prva koja mi pada na pamet je svakako eksperimentisanje sa frizurom .Kosa je tako pogodan materijal da se sa njim igramo i da menjamo njenu duzinu ,oblik, boju .. A na raspolaganju nam je velika paleta i veliki broj mogucnosti jer kosa nam dopusta da se sa njom poigravamo i da je menjamo i na njoj ucimo.Nijedna promena ne mora biti trajna ,pa cak i kada nam se nas "eksperiment " ne dopada kosa ce nam porasti i uvek je mozemo ponovo obojiti nekom drugom bojom.Retko koja zena kada zeli da pocne novu stranu u svom zivotu ili da napravi neku malu ali efektnu promenu zaobilazi svoju kosu i frizuru..Nekako je ona uvek prva stepenica koja nas vodi u "novi"zivot i pomaze nam da napravimo prve promene i odbacimo stres.Najbitnija stvar kada je kosa u pitanju je da ona bude negovana i to ne samo pred izlazak vec svakodnevno.Kosa je i ogledalo naseg zdravlja i efektno upotpunjava nas stil.Veoma bitno je da budemo opusteni i raspolozeni da pr

Penjelasan Susu Berbakteri E. Sakazakii

Assalamualaikum.. Hai semua :) cukup lama saya tidak membuat post baru. Akhir-akhir ini sering kita mendengar kasus yang dibesar-besarkan oleh media massa di Indonesia mengenai Bakteri Enterobacter Sakazakii yang terkandung dalam susu formula. Beritanya sungguh simpang siur dan sempat meresahkan masyarakat. Lebih-lebih kasus ini cukup menyudutkan IPB sebagai pihak yang melakukan riset tersebut dan banyak pihak yang tak tahu duduk perkara meminta IPB mengumumkan merek-merek susu apa saja yang tercemar bakteri tersebut.  Hal yang saya ketahui adalah bahwa penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Sri Estuningsih merupakan penelitian doktoral saat mengambil Biologi dan Patologi di Justus Liebig Universitat, Gieben, Jerman. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mencari penyebab diare pada bayi dengan fokus pada bakteri Salmonella, Shigella, dan E. Coli dan ternyata penelitian ini justru menemukan bakteri lain yang terkandung dalam susu formula (dalam sampel penelitiannya) yaitu E. Sakazakii . Penelitian

Nature Journaling and Phenology

Image
   A spring hickory bud at the Aldo Leopold Nature Center .  Spring is on its way, and now is the time of year to start up  nature journals with your family or students. It's also a perfect time introduce them to phenology! Phenology, derived from the Greek word phaino , meaning "to show or appear,"  is literally " the science of appearance ." It is a segment of ecology focused on the study of periodic plant and animal lifecycle events related to climate and seasonal changes. Although these natural observations can be done year-round, spring is a great time to get started by recording all the "firsts" you see. From noting the first bud on a tree to spotting the first robin in your yard, observing and recording these events can be the beginning of a life-long relationship with nature. You can record observations from your classroom or family in a yearly journal, and use these to compare notes from the past or make predictions about what will happ
