Can You Pop Meloxicam
the Kamikazes!
Look mom! No hands!
Beautiful day today. Beautiful, unique, and above all ... rain. Rainy days before had something special, but once you start aficionarte to astronomy, you tend to look at the clouds as your most hostile railways, and rain as the most deadly of all weapons antiastronómicas. I have mono and a bit of astronomical long ago that pulled the telescope because of the climate since it I have only 2 days a week (is it about studying abroad). All this plus the lovely time of exams in which I am engaged ... makes my life ... wonderful. I hope you caught the irony xD. Well, up to discuss business. As you can see in the title of today, the thing relates to the kamikazes. I thank you. Franky. for giving me the idea, because this issue holds something interesting, and any interesting thing worth telling. The truth is that I had thought about the topic of this post, being as curious that tamibén dealt with some Japanese, particularly wanted to talk about the Haikus, short poems that are simply fascinating, but the other day talk about them. Today we have to talk about the improperly called Kamikazes, these ruthless Japanese were plunging with his plane on a boat to sink so, so ... go to the nougat!
Toooma Kamikaze!
I think by now we all have pretty trite World War II, a conflict that marked the world and that today many people have no fucking idea. I say this because recently, I asked my student's tuition if he knew who the good and the evil of this war and say that .... I did not know there was a war that was called like that ... Well, realities aside, we all know more or less what it means kamikaze. It's a guy who dies killing, which is sacrificed to that of harm. But ... the original ... Kamikazes were more interesting.
For starters, what is interesting is the word, Kamikaze. This word, translated literally means Divine Wind. And that has to do something with the other? Well enough, I would say a plateau. To know where this comes from the divine wind, we must make a time travel / mind until the thirteenth century when the Mongols (not stupid) came up with the brilliant idea to invade and conquer Japan and for its own sake. More than 1000 ships sailed in 1274 to try to conquer Japan, but gave them to the hair. The second time they tried, it was in 1281. In this attempt, a strong typhoon struck the Mongol fleet and left them without pants. The Japanese, flip, believed that their god had personally intervened to save the divinity of death, and called the Typhoon, Kamikaze ... the divine wind.
Still, there was a specific unit that recruited kids to flush their planes into enemy ships. The thing was that Japan was not very large, and the pilots began to dwindle. So he got a kid and told him, "Look, you just have to keep the plane stable, and when you see an enemy ship, you flush against him." Taught him not complicated attack tactics, or ways to dodge enemy attacks, just to keep the plane in the air. And in the end, what is the Lord sent money. Train a good pilot took time, and money. And a good plane cost money. So that is designed simply to crash planes. Planes that take off but could not land because its landing gear fell off once in the air. Aircraft with the fuselage and the cheapest frame and lightweight as possible to get as much explosive as possible to make as much damage as possible. Not only had
suicide planes. There were also, boats, submarines, rats, and especially those pesky unwanted hamsters ...! What of the submarines was very curious. They were like little torpedoes piloted by a guy who knew he would die. The torpedo was sessuarl apretadete in that thinking, eeee, I'm going to crash with a boat and just going to hurt ...
colleagues
Meeting suicide.
The Japanese Imperial Army created this special squad of special drivers for the sole purpose of delaying a bit to the U.S. fleet so that they could be better organized. They met few big shots and said "We get a few kills and convenience imaginable to kill to see if it sounds the flute and sink a ship." He was given a nice name to this special group of special people specifically called "Attack Panel Shinpu" said Shinpu tokubetsu kōgeki Japanese tai (神 风 特别 攻 撃 队). The first two Kanji that we see in that string of cartoons, are those that are read as Shinpu (神 风). But the beauty of the Kanji, is that one can have different meanings 9058592675928751068950. The American traducortes fucked up and translated the Kanji traduciento separately. Interestingly reads like Kami 神 (God, divine) and reads like kaze 风 (wind). And hence the origin of what we understand to this day by kamikaze (suicide / fool). Quetepasas
Special Unit for special kids ... had a moderate success. Managed to sink some ships, but many of those drivers ended up crashing into the sea.
Finally, after all, Japan had to drop their pants to the U.S., and the operator of the unit of special buddies for the common good of the human race became the Seppuku (also known as hara-kiri). Putualizar that Seppuku is ritual suicide by disembowelment and the poor man Hizma not quite right and soon to die about 16 hours (second top, second down).
Anyway ... I always will associate the word kamikaze someone silly and shortsighted. You only have to see all the hippies in a turban who commit suicide is not a paradise that chanfaina blablabla. The good news is that the Japanese evolved and now are more good people. But as is so difficult to get along ... it's better hitting a boat or a bomb in the midst of a market for people trying to buy something to eat ... so please try to be good people, I said !

Tell him goodbye Senra girls to suicide!
The grace of the whole matter is that many pilots had the certainty, that sacrificing their lives, again this could invoke divine wind that swept with the damn Yankees went fucking them both at the time. The thing is ... the Kamikaze failed. Tell him goodbye Senra girls to suicide!

Does Water Build Calluses
A bit of meteorology and a strange summer 2010
This 2010 has begun very differently, gone are the sunny days of summer here in Lima, even on Sundays, it was always obvious that the presence of sunlight in the Peruvian capital, although this can not be proved scientifically, but it was certainly a summer Sunday without the sun? was very strange years and decades past.
This 2010 does not cease to enjoy the sunshine throughout the week in most of the capital, except in some districts are on the outskirts of Lima, but they are located over 500 m and according to the predictions of many agencies this summer will be very different from the previous.
reading the reports we are experiencing a Fenomeno El Niño "mild", together with the Humboldt or Peruvian (cold water) has been slightly interrupted by warm water currents such as Kelvin waves (planetary waves) with greater intensity in the center Peruvian coast (Lima region), causing precipitation (a year INCI rained almost 50% of the annual average 10 mm) and cloudiness (perceptible even today.)
Meteorology is interesting to understand and explain these phenomena, last year I spend almost more than half of the year to dig entire chapters of this science to end I have been writing some articles related to area of \u200b\u200bhydrology (reason for not updating this blog for a long time). One of the most interesting and didactic pages on the web I could find was this:
http://www.meted.ucar.edu/index_es.htm (in English)

You will find whole classes of intermediate to advanced on meteorology and climate science. Website in English is almost complete in terms of papers translated into English but the site is 100% complete with classes and papers. Just register for free and ready.

Below an educational video of the phenomenon El Niño, I think it is very basic but interesting, should not be taken too lightly know what a child is capable, but we know they had children apocalyptic for South America in 1877 / 1878 (Aceituno, 2008)

What Does It Mean When Your Temperature Is 96.5
The I-52!
A yellow submarinocartera!
We're in an era that many people will find it ... the less ... disgusting. Exam time. These days when you realize your career and you do not like to study more used to very little. Anyway, is the fate of many (myself among many) to realize later, what the hell am I doing?. At least I passed the vanity and one can run away from home, where hypocrisy takes over for a few days, before returning to his retreat in his student flat. It's funny, recently ended a week wanted to go back to my house and all that. Now, I can not wait to finish the weekend back to my apartment. I have to come every weekend to teach, is what has to be a tutor. Of course, I particularly enjoy teaching enough concpetos of Physics, is that my physics ... I can. But hey, too many things I can (see Toblerone), especially I like the stories are amazing and which I had no idea. Today's story has a curious origin. I am one of those guys who like to put posters in his room (I hate empty walls) and I have one of National Geographic's lost treasures. From time to time he made a vistacillo to say, go see that most curious thing. Until the other day, I noticed that there was a dot in the middle of the Atlantic. The dot said, "Japanese submarine I-52." I, as always, I thought, what the hell does a Japanese submarine in the middle of the fucking Atlantic Ocean? I searched the net for networks and found the less curious story, short but curious to see her masters!
The dream of every kid.
I, who was a dreamer small (until the weight of the world crushed my spirit), always had special fascination for submarines. What child has not had it? They were big things that sank in the sea and you could live there without makeshift, and I thought maybe I could find the lost city of Atlantis. But one thing that is getting older, is that unfortunately you see things more clearly. And a submarine is very well ... but today's submarines are used for war, and a submarine in a war is a death trap. Where are you going to run away if they attack the submarine? home?, I think not. If we consider that a submarine operating at an average depth of 50 meters ... no .... could occur to me. There are stories of sailors who escaped from a submarine attack was a relatively shallow depth. Many died in the lungs traps / exploited because of the pressure.
The I-52.
Unfortunately, the history of I-52 is located in the Second World War, a time when the man ... well, as it was mostly stupid. Humans kill each other not sure why and the bosses are quietly sitting in their comfortable armchairs with copichuelas newspaper. We are 1944 and is a submarine, the I-52 that is about to sail for Japan, toward the Atlantic. The I-52 was a Japanese submarine in First Class, the biggest ever build throughout, much more than today. Cargadito was of special gifts for some friends of the Japanese at that time, the Nazis. Specifically wore rubber, molybdenum, opium, tin, quinine, tungsten and gold bullion. The official mission of the I-52 was to share supplies with a German submarine in the middle of the Atlantic.
The Germans greeted the Japanese. "Hello, spring roll!"
succeeds in making this meeting the June 23, 1944 and all is joy and joy. Are given hands, exchanged greetings gangsters and each strip to your home.
Unfortunately, the submarine was detercado by American aircraft and destroyed it shortly after the encounter, taking the lives of the crew. But the most curious is that according to some historians, the I-52 had something other than opium and gold. According to some, had a secret letter of surrender of Japan to the USA. This letter should be delivered at a port of France to negotiate the Nazi surrender in Switzerland. But apparently this letter never reached its destination and we all know the war ended. The fault was not of those who destroyed the submarine, they had no idea. There were only errands. Today
know where the submarine. Somewhere in the Atlantic some 5000 meters deep. I want to save the document to see if the peace treaty still around, and if there is also some gold to see if it falls.
The bow of the I-52.
Funny how the story has been changed according to which things had happened, but the evolution of events seems capricious and things have gone well. A phrase that everyone is horrified by the atomic bombs were useful to end the war. Unfortunately ... yes. The war is over in a couple of days, saving 4 or 5 years most stupid war would have cost many more lives. The reality is sometimes so hard ... We have the example now, the earthquake in Haiti. The Brazilian press is outraged by a Haitian consul statements saying that the earthquake has been good to them. So at first, seems like a lot ... but ... is that basically he's right. Encabronante fucking seems to say that an earthquake is fine, but if you examine the facts ... you're right, unfortunately. Well, I think it's time to leave the track and finish post. Within hours migraré back to Seville to be at peace with myself, so ... to be yourselves! I said!

Can You Just Have Chickenpox On Legs
Johannes Kepler!
Mr. Johannes Kepler.
as much joy and delight run through the holes today and loops of spacetime. Close as we are already on the eve of Twelfth Night, sure there are a lot of kids happy and nervous about receiving her "deserved" gifts of kings. And I'm sure many of you people fledged, you have that tingling in your tummy thinking under a tree to be Vanity. It's very normal life we \u200b\u200bhave grown with it and it is difficult to get rid of the old ways, is like when it merges the bathroom light, you know that has blown and yet you hit the switch. Costumrbes things ... it is very difficult to renounce them, by the mere fact that we humans, we like the patterns, things that repeat, something like rituals. You only have to see how excited some of the Virgen del Rocio or the Great Prune. In science, it costs much more to host a new and revolutionary idea at the expense of what has always been. You only have to watch that mess when we relegate the Earth, which was the center of the universe, to be a planet that orbits around the sun, and then, a poor neighborhood of a neighboring galaxy surrounded normalucha normaluchos. Any trauma that happened to many people. But what happens when you have to do that great sacrifice, to accept reality as it is, and open the doors of a revolution?. That happened to our hero today, Johannes Kepler. Let us know you better.
Kepler Many do not know, but it was a great German astronomer and mathematician who was instrumental in the scientific revolution. Without it, we would not be heading to Pluto or exploring Mars. Clearly we would not be so without Sir Isaac Newton's birthday today and should have dedicated this post, but Newton ... not fucked as fucked Kepler when he made his discovery, so I have more affection for Kepler.
Kepler was born into a Protestant family was going apurillos. His father was a mercenary for the Duke of Württemberg and his mother, who ran a rooming house and had knowledge of herbolística, dedicating himself to trying to cure the staff. Later, accuse her of witchcraft by this fact.
of weak constitution, Kepler was a sickly kid, and that 3 years old he contracted smallpox. This will weaken your vision and make a little hypochondriac. From little guy liked to surprise guests at the home of his mother with his knowledge of mathematics. Already 5 years old, her mother arouse interest in astronomy by a comet passing by. With 9 years old, his father taught him a lunar eclipse.
The older, Kepler entered the University of Tubingen, There, start first by studying ethics, dialectics, rhetoric, Greek, Hebrew, astronomy and physics, and then later theology and human sciences. He was a speck of becoming Lutheran minister, but he could the mysteries of the universe.
limits at this time comes science and religion were very, very diffuse, being almost the same thing. Kepler resolved this pastiche religious / scientific. But it cost him his own. If you liked one thing Kepler were the platonic solids, perfect shapes, conceptual, which as we all should know is 5. The tetrahedron, the hexahedron (also known as Frinkaedro or Cube), the octahedron, the dodecahedron and the icosahedron.
The 5 Platonic Solids.
These bodies greatly fascinated by Kepler, religious man to the bone, who thought he had found a deep and mystical connection between these bodies and the 5 planets known at that time. Curious coincidence, 5 planets, 5 platonic solids. Kepler thought he had found the key to heaven, was clear, the planets, the sun, all the platonic solids, were related in such a way that they were embedded within another in a very precise and very mathematical. This idea haunted him for many years, for many many years. The idea that God had set the heavens in this way was a logical thought at the time, in which it was thought that planets were contained in glass spheres that moved.
Solar System integrated with the Platonic Solids.
wrote several treatises on the subject and became a bit famosete. He earned his living writing with which astrological almanacs made astrological predictions, like the witch wrote Lola.Los treaties attention of Tycho Brahe, who was the matemátego, forgiveness, imperial mathematician of the time (year 1600). Tycho Brahe was the greatest astronomer of his time. I do not mean to say, but because we had the best equipment and the best data. Basically, this man sat watching the night sky and taking data. Mr. Brahe was the best planetary data collection was at the time. Kepler invited to live in his house to exchange ideas and conociemientos. Kepler was thrilled to learn that these data are sure to find the truth about his model of the sky.
What happens is that Tycho was a type somewhat bizarre. Say I had a golden nose as he lost in his a duel by a mathematical discussion. We also liked a banquet given him a freak to be caught more double cogorza the tower of Pisa. A Kepler did not like that, he just wanted the data.
Tycho Brahe, died a year after Kepler arrived at his humble abode. Good thing it could be done with the data of Tycho, if not ...
Al browse data Tycho, Kepler realized that he had paid particular attention to Mars. Kepler later discovered the reason for this. But first let us reflect on the word planet. Comes from the Greek Metro πλανήτης (planets) which means "Wanderer" or "Tramp." Is a logical description, since the planets are the only celestial objects that appear to move in the sky. And Mars ... Mars was special, not only for being red, but because it made a strange movement. Mars, follows a path in the sky more or less normal, but there comes a moment that seems to move back and then go forward again. This movement disturbed enough to Kepler. Later the more upset, as the most perfect of figures, the circle, did not fit the data, gave a fairly significant error. This could not be. Kepler, religious as they come, deduced that if the world was not perfect, as it was ravaged by wars, hunger and stupidity must have something perfect in God's creation, but no, the orbits were not. There was no room for her beloved Platonic Solids.
He tried all sorts of geometric shapes, ovals, oval, square (just kidding) and nothing, nothing matched. Finally tested the humble ellipse, which, OH, fit perfectly into the data collected by Tycho Brahe. To say that the ellipse was known as Apollonius of Pergamum the named and described in one of his works were saved from the library of Alexandria (burned by Christian intelligence). Look at the luck. If that book had been burned, now none of us would be here as safe, the world would not have advanced so much.
An ellipse, a strange figure geometry, made everything fit perfectly. Kepler had discovered a law that bear his name. Kepler's First Law, which says so.
"The planets have elliptical motion around the Sun, the latter being located in one of the foci of the ellipse.
Kepler's First Law.
This law is fascinating. It seems simple but it is not. This law shows that the facts, are binding on the wishes or beliefs. Kepler had to accept these facts, these observations, which were contrary to their deepest beliefs. Kepler was able to change data or make a trap for any side, but no. Stuck to the truth and accepted as is. He had two balls.
Later, considering the speed of the planets, came to another conclusion, to be known as Kepler's Second Law.
-Planets, on his tour of the ellipse, sweep out equal areas in equal time.
Kepler's Second Law.
This is extremely important. This goes to explain that the speed of rotation of the earth is not always uniform, change depending on the location of the orbit in which it is located. If you are closer to the sun (the perihelion) moves faster than when it is farthest away (in the Aphelion).
Years passed and came to what is perhaps the most important conclucion, Kepler's Third Law.
-The square of the periods of the planets is proportional to the cube of the average distance to the Sun
The latter law would mark a before and after in astronomy. Since possible to predict and unify the motions of the planets. Kepler was the last and the first astronomer astrologer. He took the facts, studied and drew the logical conclusions. Leaving aside the beliefs and superstition. A man. 367
Today is Sir Isaac Newton was born, a great man, but ... much more to admire the effort that Kepler had posed to the view ... that the world is not like the thought. I believe this has happened to us all in varying ways, but Kepler was aimed too high, too high, while believed glimpse the truth of the universe perfect, and somehow ... got it. I think it's a story that deserves to be known by many, and if the account Carl Sagan, hell, it's better! So pay attention! I said!
Mr. Johannes Kepler.
Kepler and his colleague has.

He earned his living writing with which astrological almanacs made astrological predictions, like the witch wrote Lola.Los treaties attention of Tycho Brahe, who was the matemátego, forgiveness, imperial mathematician of the time (year 1600). Tycho Brahe was the greatest astronomer of his time. I do not mean to say, but because we had the best equipment and the best data. Basically, this man sat watching the night sky and taking data. Mr. Brahe was the best planetary data collection was at the time. Kepler invited to live in his house to exchange ideas and conociemientos. Kepler was thrilled to learn that these data are sure to find the truth about his model of the sky.
What happens is that Tycho was a type somewhat bizarre. Say I had a golden nose as he lost in his a duel by a mathematical discussion. We also liked a banquet given him a freak to be caught more double cogorza the tower of Pisa. A Kepler did not like that, he just wanted the data.
Tycho Brahe, died a year after Kepler arrived at his humble abode. Good thing it could be done with the data of Tycho, if not ...
Al browse data Tycho, Kepler realized that he had paid particular attention to Mars. Kepler later discovered the reason for this. But first let us reflect on the word planet. Comes from the Greek Metro πλανήτης (planets) which means "Wanderer" or "Tramp." Is a logical description, since the planets are the only celestial objects that appear to move in the sky. And Mars ... Mars was special, not only for being red, but because it made a strange movement. Mars, follows a path in the sky more or less normal, but there comes a moment that seems to move back and then go forward again. This movement disturbed enough to Kepler. Later the more upset, as the most perfect of figures, the circle, did not fit the data, gave a fairly significant error. This could not be. Kepler, religious as they come, deduced that if the world was not perfect, as it was ravaged by wars, hunger and stupidity must have something perfect in God's creation, but no, the orbits were not. There was no room for her beloved Platonic Solids.
He tried all sorts of geometric shapes, ovals, oval, square (just kidding) and nothing, nothing matched. Finally tested the humble ellipse, which, OH, fit perfectly into the data collected by Tycho Brahe. To say that the ellipse was known as Apollonius of Pergamum the named and described in one of his works were saved from the library of Alexandria (burned by Christian intelligence). Look at the luck. If that book had been burned, now none of us would be here as safe, the world would not have advanced so much.
An ellipse, a strange figure geometry, made everything fit perfectly. Kepler had discovered a law that bear his name. Kepler's First Law, which says so.
"The planets have elliptical motion around the Sun, the latter being located in one of the foci of the ellipse.
Kepler's First Law.
This law is fascinating. It seems simple but it is not. This law shows that the facts, are binding on the wishes or beliefs. Kepler had to accept these facts, these observations, which were contrary to their deepest beliefs. Kepler was able to change data or make a trap for any side, but no. Stuck to the truth and accepted as is. He had two balls.
Later, considering the speed of the planets, came to another conclusion, to be known as Kepler's Second Law.
-Planets, on his tour of the ellipse, sweep out equal areas in equal time.
Kepler's Second Law.
This is extremely important. This goes to explain that the speed of rotation of the earth is not always uniform, change depending on the location of the orbit in which it is located. If you are closer to the sun (the perihelion) moves faster than when it is farthest away (in the Aphelion).
Years passed and came to what is perhaps the most important conclucion, Kepler's Third Law.
-The square of the periods of the planets is proportional to the cube of the average distance to the Sun
The latter law would mark a before and after in astronomy. Since possible to predict and unify the motions of the planets. Kepler was the last and the first astronomer astrologer. He took the facts, studied and drew the logical conclusions. Leaving aside the beliefs and superstition. A man. 367
Today is Sir Isaac Newton was born, a great man, but ... much more to admire the effort that Kepler had posed to the view ... that the world is not like the thought. I believe this has happened to us all in varying ways, but Kepler was aimed too high, too high, while believed glimpse the truth of the universe perfect, and somehow ... got it. I think it's a story that deserves to be known by many, and if the account Carl Sagan, hell, it's better! So pay attention! I said!
