Morpho tower....A magnetic fluid breathing in a spiral tower

A projection emerges from the surface; many spikes protrude and gather as if they are alive.....


Black liquid that reacts to magnetic flux: when I saw this material for the first time, I found its strange shapes and movements very puzzling. It may have looked familiar to people used to watching morphing computer graphics and hyper-realistic virtual images that exist in only mathematical form. However, these phenomena were appearing right there in front of me in the real world.



Still, a magnetic fluid can't be manipulated as freely as computer graphics. Its forms cannot contradict the physical laws of magnetism and gravity. I often marvel at how the shapes created in this magnetic fluid resemble plant or animal forms.



What does this seem like?..... A water lily?

What does the shape of these thorns remind you of ?..... A hedgehog?



I have created various works using magnetic fluids, continuing the dialog between material and image.



The gushing movement of the liquid makes it seem living, dynamic, and sometimes almost violently erotic.

I am fascinated by these forms, so I am always trying to draw out the maximum allure of the material itself - its characteristics as a physical substance.



Anyone can make a moving, interactive figure - a beautiful artifact which has never been seen before.

I feel as if I am at the gateway to an entirely unknown continent.

Morpho Towers: ferrofluid sculptures that groove to the music

There's just something irresistible about random objects that get down to surrounding beats, and the Morpho Towers: Two Standing Spirals installation is quite the eye-catcher indeed. The pair of ferrofluid sculptures were deigned to stand in a platter of ferrofluid and move "synthetically to music," which translates into a magnetic field being generated by sound and creating autonomous art. Subsequently, the towers react by attracting "spikes of ferrofluid" from the bottom-up, which can mold itself and transform into a variety of stunning shapes. The spikes themselves are designed to "rotate around the edge of the spiral cone, becoming large or small depending on the strength of the magnetic field," and by utilizing time series metadata ingrained in the music, the designers can create (and control) more dramatic scenes on the towers' sides. So if you're interested in what a magnetic Christmas tree might look like, be sure to take a peek after the jump for the artwork in motion.




[Via SciFiTech]

Morpho Towers–Two Standing Spirals” is an installation that consists of two ferrofluid sculptures that moves synthetically to music. The two spiral towers stand on a large plate that hold ferrofluid. When the music starts, the magnetic field around the tower is strengthened. Spikes of ferrofluid are born from the bottom plate and move up, trembling and rotating around the edge of the iron spiral.

Breathtaking Skyline of Amazing Cities of the World

Anywhere in the world, most people are crowding into cities. Cities are, undeniably, the life pulses of a nation. Mention New York, Hong Kong, Tokyo and so on, the forests of futuristic skyscapers surely flourish in your minds. No matter where we live or where we wander, cities touch everything we do. They excite us, define us and too, captivate us. So, welcome to a section of this blog that celebrates world's great cities with fantastic skylines.

Hong Kong has the greatest skyline in the world!At night, the skyline glimmers with lighting and reflections. This city exemplifies the post-modern skyscraper and skyline. The mountainous backdrop makes this skyline the greatest on the planet.

Chicago

Chicago is the birthplace of the modern skyscraper.Chicago has some of the finest mid-century architecture and examples of modern skyscrapers. This skyline has many distinctive views, changing it's pattern ever so subtly at each angle you choose to look at it from. Like Hong Kong and New York, Chicago's skyscraper's really do create a line, stacked up along the shoreline, creating a true, skyline effect.

New York has one of the densest and most diverse skylines, with a huge collection of buildings and building styles. Thanks to artists' and Hollywood’s obsession with the city, it is also the most easily recognizable skyline in the world. New York's skyline probably has the most compact and overwhelming collection of architecture from almost any point in the city.

Shanghai  - Not to be mistaken for a space station, Shanghai is a real city! China's biggest and most advanced city, Shanghai was said to be one of the most modern cities at the turn of the 21st century. Shanghai is becoming a showcase of modern architecture and is quickly amassing a collection of sky reaching buildings decked along the edges of the semi-circular shoreline in Pudong district.

Singapore  is one of the best planned and cleanliest metropolitan cities in the world, Singapore looks like an architectural city model come to life. The buildings cannot be higher than 280 metres due to air traffic control restrictions, but that has added a tall (but not too tall) and consistent building height and space pattern that makes this skyline unique: Three buildings are exactly 280 metres tall.

Tokyo is the world's most populated city and considered by many to be the capital of the Eastern world.But because of the density and vast size of the city, every corner appears to have its own skyline.Tokyo is filled with neon lighting and unique, contemporary architecture, and like New York City is also often portrayed in movies for its aesthetic and eye-catching cityscapes.

Toronto
Toronto is a meeting place, a crossroad of many cultures and ethnicities. Currently, the CN Tower possesses the world's highest observation deck, making this city's skyline one of the most immediately identifiable. Toronto, also contains a diverse collection of renowned architecture, including it's City Hall. Toronto also has one of the densest financial districts in North America .

Kuala Lumpur

Surprisingly, this is our nearest metropolis-cum-capital.It is probably the most impressive city worldwide that has about 2 million residents. Marvelous modern buildings reach the sky here, and while the skyline is not exactly the densest, it does allow buildings to soar and stand out.

Shenzhen

What was a tiny fishing village on the border of Hong Kong is now a buzzing metropolis of over seven million people!Shenzhen is a spectacle of lights and neon signs after sunset, you can’t help but ask yourself- if you are in a video game or in a real city.

Seattle

Seattle is the commercial, cultural and advanced technology hub of the Northwest USA and a major port city for Pacific and European trade.Seattle is surrounded by mountains and water and offers some picture-perfect views. Seattle is commonly referred to as the Emerald City and renowned as a great social and corporate city with infrastructure. The planning is spectacular, as it helped create the hill-like effect on the skyline's silhouette, add the mountain backdrop and this city is almost a picture perfect.

Have had enough of an eye feast? Give a pause, more coming up in the shortest time frame possible.

All pictures maybe copyrighted and showcase world's finest cities in terms of skyline and architecture.

Drooping saliva? Fret none, fly to any of these and you'll be truly amazed!

CTS - Part 3b (Biography of Yasushi Miyajima)

Sorry that this is all i can find abt Yasushi Miyajima,  this information below is his brief introduction of himself as a member of Interaction Laboratory of SONY CSL.
 

Yasushi Miyajima

With rapid growth of computer and network technology, the paradigm shift has been going on in both contents creation and distribution in the world. Personal contents can be spread explosively and directly across the world through the Internet without any legacy distribution. Current personal contents are mainly text documents, photos and movies. I am interested in music-based entertainment and communication in such a new world.

Now I'm researching and developing a new music system that enables you to re-mix and to arrange music contents easily. And I'd like to contribute to the creation of new music culture through the realization of the world in which people can share and exchange their own music arrangement information among each other.

CTS - Part 3a (Biography of Sachiko Kodama)

 Sachiko Kodama
Born 1970 in Shizuoka, Japan. 1993; B.A., Hokkaido University (Division of Physics.). 1995; M.A., Tsukuba University (Master's Program in Art and Design.) 2000; Completed Doctoral Program in Arts and Design, Received Ph.D. from Tsukuba University. For several years, Kodama has studied about image art works using a computer and holography, now she is making interactive art works using digital media or new materials such as magnetic fluid to explore the theoretical and practical study of media arts. Works Exhibited: Artec'95, 97, 1996; One-man Show (Kobayashi Gallery, Tokyo). 1997; Para Para Parallax Exhibit (Gallery NW House, Tokyo). In 2000, Kodama and Takeno started collaboration in making Prtorude, flow. This work was presented in Siggraph 2001 Art Gallery. A research associate of Univ. of Electro-Communications (Tokyo).

Interview with Sachiko Kodama

by Jasmine Greene

We at Pieces had the pleasure to interview up-and-coming artist Sachiko Kodoma. She uses ferrofluid materials in her latest installation "morph tower". The tower as well as her other works introduce various aspects of art and science and captures the beauty magnets can create. You can check out her site at kodama.hc.

The ferrofluid materials you used for your "morph tower" installation are generally used for commercial applications. Why did you decide to use this material for your installation?

I was just struck by the beauty of the ferrofluids, especially by their moving spikes.

Spikes symbolize "life" and "growth", and can sometimes also symbolize "violence". I was just very drawn to the paradoxical beauty and ugliness of the ferrofluids; in other words, I was struck by their ambiguity.

Your "morph tower" displays very complicated and elaborate designs created by a computer program. How did you program this sequence and what made you choose those particular designs?

My first "Morpho Tower" was not complicated. I created the program myself; the fluid simply moves according to the environmental sound level. If a person looks toward the "Morpho Tower" and talks in a loud voice, very big spikes appear quickly. But, soon, I felt like I wanted to introduce some kinds of "rhythm" (beat or breathing) characteristic of animals. So, I began collaborating with Yasushi Miyajima, as he knew of a special technique involving the use of digital music metadata, wherein music could be used to create "rhythm" and emotion-like movement of the ferrofluids.

Your tower series has interested both the art and science community. What is your background in science and what led you to combine these two paths?

Well, I studied physics at Hokkaido University (after that, I got a Ph.D. in art). But as a child, I loved to create just about anything. I loved drawing pictures, making three dimensional kites, playing with coils and motors, growing plants?anything that involved creating something. I also enjoyed playing musical instruments and reading and writing. Mathematics was my favorite subject. Now, I thoroughly enjoy playing with my 5-year-old son. I am not willing to combine just only the art and science community, but also I am willing to combine ?everything? to be a human being. And it seems to me that art is the only way to combine everything in this modern society.

What is the significance of the project title Protrude, Flow?

These words are verbs. Not nouns. I wanted to convey and portray dynamic energy; flowing, metamorphosing texture; and shapelessness. Also, I did not consciously choose "ferrofluids" for my project; the significance of the project is not in the material used: any material could have been used to give form to this idea.

Much of your work deals with motion and fluidity; would you say that's a common theme among your art pieces? What messages are you trying to convey to the audience, especially in the seven questions piece?

Motion and fluidity is one of my themes, because it penetrates our mind deeply. The movement of liquids and texture brings to mind something that is living. In the "Seven Question" piece, people imagine something when they see the ferrofluid movement in the sink and when they hear the voice from the mirror asking questions. What they imagine is a projection of people's minds. Here, ferrofluids will take different meanings, depending on each person's imagination.

What would you say inspires you in your artwork?

I always ask, "What is life?" or "D'oú venons nous?"

My short movie "Breathing Chaos" (8 min, 11 sec) is a small attempt to answer this question.

Where can we see permanent exhibits of your artwork?

In the United States, the Samuel Freeman Gallery in Santa Monica has a small "Morpho Tower" piece; I think that if you want to see it, you need to ask the authorities, and they will show it to you. Also, gallery Sakamaki in Tokyo has some of my small pieces.

There is a very large piece of the "Protrude Flow 2008" in Madrid, which is where I created this work for the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (MNCARS) when I stayed there last year. The museum has the piece, but it is not currently on display (it may be in the storehouse).

A children?s museum in Okinawa prefecture in Japan has the "Equivalent Point" (They call this work "Nagareru Toge Toge" (meaning "moving Spikes" in Japanese), as it is easier for children to understand.) This piece is a permanent exhibit.

The Miyakonojo City Museum of Art in Japan has a piece called "Pulsate", which is also a permanent piece.

I am now creating a permanent exhibit for the National Science and Technology Museum in Taiwan. Although the museum is a science museum, I was asked to create a piece of artwork. This is because my art is probably seen as a kind of a gateway linking the worlds of art and science.

If you are interested in learning more about Sachiko Kodama there is a great exhibition catalog published by the MNCARS (Maquinas & Almas). There is also a recent book called "Digital by Design" which includes photographs and some literature on her work. Pieces is grateful to Ms. Kodama for taking time out of her schedule for this interview.

Ferrofluid- CTS Part 2b

Someone may find it hard to know what ferrofluid is, even though it was, too often, used in the previous posts by me and Caryn Chang, as a part of our CTS tasks. I, for one, was confused over it and yummy Ferrero Rocher.I was thinking, ferrofluid - could it be a type of chocoliquid used to produce real Italian hallmark chocolates like Ferrero Rocher?

Cut the chatter.My apologies for my randomness.


Ferrofluid is a liquid which becomes strongly polarised in the presence of a magnetic field. The word is derived from the Latin word ferrum, meaning iron, and the word fluid. Ferrofluids are colloidal mixtures which is consisted of nanoscale ferromagnetic, or ferrimagnetic, particles suspended in a carrier fluid, usually an organic solvent or water. The ferromagnetic nano-particles are coated with a surfactant to prevent their agglomeration or the process of breaking down (due to van der Waals forces between particles and magnetic forces). Although the name may suggest otherwise, ferrofluids do not display ferromagnetism, since they do not retain magnetization in the absence of an externally applied field, which in the case of Morpho Towers, electromagnestism. In fact, ferrofluids display (bulk-scale) paramagnetism, and are often described as "superparamagnetic" due to their large magnetic susceptibility. Permanently magnetized fluids are difficult to create at present which is why the ferrofluid of Morpho Towers only react when the electromagnet is magnetised and the music turned on.


The surfactants used to coat the nanoparticles, as mentioned above, include, but are not limited to:

(i) oleic acid


(ii) tetramethylammonium hydroxide


(iii) citric acid


(iv) soy lecithin

As envisaged by Sachiko Kodama, ferrofluid can also be incorporated to the construction of sculptures, buildings or structures. However, the range of usage of ferrofluid is nevertheless wide currently. Ferrofluid is applied in manufacturing electronic devices, of which the most common is hard disks. Ferrofluids are used to form liquid seals around the spinning drive shafts in hard disks. The rotating shaft is surrounded by magnets. A small amount of ferrofluid, placed in the gap between the magnet and the shaft, will be held in place by its attraction to the magnet. The fluid of magnetic particles forms a barrier which prevents debris from entering the interior of the hard drive.

Besides, ferrofluids are used in mechanical engineering. With friction-reducing capabilities, ferrofluid is applied to the surface of a strong enough magnet, such as one made of neodymium, so that the magnet can glide across smooth surfaces with minimal resistance.

Other fields incorporating the use of ferrofluids:

- Military
- Aerospace

- Analytical Instumentation

- Heat Transfer

- Medicine

- Optics

and...

Of course, Arts, by Sachiko Kodama, whose idea could be incorporated in buildings and construction.

So, BASICALLY, this is a basic introduction of Ferrofluid, which is interesting enough to be explored on.

As promised.

Morpho Towers - CTS Part 2

Morpho Tower
(Please click the link above)

Have you ever imagined the frustration of architects when they are crushing their grey matters just to force out the fluids of creativity?Have you ever encountered such desperation when you really desire to come out with something unique and self-defining but only to find yourself thwarted by the lack of inspiration and of course,the absence of a creative mind?Or have you ever wondered if creativity is equivalent to abruptness that lasts tentatively?

Perhaps you may find something really interesting here- New Morpho Tower,which may be inspirational and at the same time, creative,captivating,fantastic,different,spectacular - basically every adjective suitable you can think of.I came across this when my lecturers, Charles and Chee,showed us.And for the first time this year, I was truly besotted,by the Morpho Tower, apart from those exposed bronzed limbs of existing buildings or sculptures portrayed in architectural porn made available at places like Kinokuniya.

Picture it, if you haven't watched the video via the link above.They are two dynamic spiral towers constantly undergo 'metamorphosis', built on a pool of fluid called Ferrofluid,which I will elaborate more later. For this stage, it's still in a research progress and up to this point, graphical presentation is being carried out. Who knows, things change, and maybe in months' time, you may be seeing model sculptures being exposed to curious minds here, as models like Morpho Towers have been displayed in art museum or exhibitions overseas. And in a decade or decades or so, real Morpho Towers may be sprouting in metropolises like Chicago, Hong Kong and Tokyo, of which are all known for their fine architecture.

Morpho Towers, whose name is probably derived from the word metamorphosis, are evidently,  towers which change shape or how they look. They are the fruits of the initiation and creativity of Sachiko Kodama. They are also called 'organic towers', which the factor is not known. But my guess is that it's from the Ferrofluid, which morphs synthetically to the music which sets off the changing of shapes of the towers by strengthening the electromagnet in a circuit. It's due to the metamorphosis of the towers, which is seemingly lively and not humdrum or static like other buildings, it's named 'organic' which in a way, denotes live or living.

Have a store of pictures (copyrighted by others) here to satisfy your demanding tastebuds or to be exact, your meticulous eyes, in a way, too, to enlighten the confused, as the saying, pictures speak more than words,

As mentioned in the previous post by Caryn Chang, the Morpho Towers are two spiral towers standing on a large plate holding ferrofluid. When the music starts, then magnetic field around the tower is strenghtened as the circuit is completed.Spikes of ferrofluid are born from the bottom plate and move up, trembling and rotating around the edge of the iron spiral. The dynamical movement of the ferrofluid spikes is controlled by adjusting the power or strength of the electromagnet, which is built within the surface of the building and the surface of the building is supposedly steel- or iron-covered. The spikes of ferrofluid in a way defy gravity and move synthetically or correspondingly to the music beat.

So, as visually shown, they are Morpho Towers, which are coming up as frontiers of modern architecture. Wow, I know they are amazing. Let's imagine the possible existence or construction of these breathtaking structures in any city of the world. They will surely enhance the visual excitement of every people looking at them, captivating them and their hearts in every way they possibly can.

Research on these towers have been constantly done. Who knows,perhaps our generation of architects may be the consultants to plan the construction and realisation of these seemingly sci-fi sculptures. Mirage or not, let us and time tell!

CREATIVE THINKING CLASS - Activity 03 (Part 1)

Sachiko Kodama "Morpho Towers -- Two Standing Spirals" (2007)

“Morpho Towers--Two Standing Spirals” is an installation that consists of two ferrofluid sculptures that moves synthetically to music. The two spiral towers stand on a large plate that hold ferrofluid. When the music starts, the magnetic field around the tower is strengthened. Spikes of ferrofluid are born from the bottom plate and move up, trembling and rotating around the edge of the iron spiral.
The body of the tower was made by a new technique called “ferrofluid sculpture” that enables artists to create dynamic sculptures with fluid materials. This technique uses one electromagnet, and its iron core is extended and sculpted. The ferrofluid covers the sculpted surface of a three-dimensional iron shape that was made on an electronic NC lathe. The movement of the spikes in the fluid is controlled dynamically on the surface by adjusting the power of the electromagnet. The shape of the iron body is designed as helical so that the fluid can move to the top of the helical tower when the magnetic field is strong enough.
The surface of the tower responds dynamically to its magnetic environment.
When there is no magnetic field, the tower appears to be a simple spiral shape. But when the magnetic field around the tower is strengthened, spikes of ferrofluid are born; at the same time, the tower’s surface dynamically morphs into a variety of textures ranging from soft fluid to minute moss, or to spiky shark’s teeth, or again to a hard iron surface. The ferrofluid, with its smooth, black surface that seems to draw people in, reaches the top of the tower, spreading like a fractal, defying gravity.
The spikes of ferrofluid are made to rotate around the edge of the spiral cone, becoming large or small depending on the strength of the magnetic field. In this work the speed of this rotation can be controlled without motors or shaft mechanisms ? we simply control the magnetic power.
In this work, we are trying to activate analogue physical phenomena (= fluid) precisely by utilizing digital music metadata. To control the synchronization of the ferrofluid with the music playback in real time, time series metadata are added to the music beforehand. The metadata consist of musical information, such as beat position, chord progression, and melody block information, and ferrofluid control information such as DC bias voltage and AC pattern. Each data record has a time stamp that indicates the timing of presentation. All data are stored in time-series order.
These time series metadata must be accurate for precise control of timing, so as to cancel the time delay of fluid movement. By this correction, the time when the protuberance of the spike reaches its maximum size is coincident with the beat of the music. As a result, the rhythm of the fluid movement coincides with the musical rhythm. When there is no sound, the fluid falls down into the plate.
As there are two towers in the installation, complicated expressions of surfaces become possible. Each tower’s surface pulsates, like one creature calling to the other.
Fluid moves synthetically with the music, as if it breathes, and the condition of the fluid's surface emerges as autonomous and complex. In this art we want to harmonize several opposing properties, such as hardness (iron) / softness (fluid) and freedom (desire for design) / restriction (natural powers such as gravity). This work emerges as an autonomous transformation of the material itself: sometimes it seems like a horn, sometimes a fir tree, and sometimes even like the Tower of Babel.

Weird/Strange/Creative Building. O.O

Hello everybody!!! XD
I saw some of these weird or should I say CREATIVE buildings in my e-mail, my aunt send me. What do you think? Is it weird? Or is it Creative? lol

Yes, It's a building.Actually, it's a house. I made some research about it, and this is what I found.

It is located in Suwon, South Korea (about 40km from Seoul). It is organized and owned by Sim Jae duk, chairman of the World Association of toilet. It cost about  $1.6 million. Over 40% of the world population doesn't get to use hygienic toilets, so he used this symbol of disease to bring forth the reality of 2 million people. If you guys find this house interesting, you can actually rent it for $50,000 per day.

What do you think? Is it a WEIRD or CREATIVE building?

I'd say it's creative. haha

I can't seem to find any information about this building. You can assume it to be located in Japan? Because of the japanese wording on the building, and I think it's a shop. Isn't it CUTE?

This is definitely a creative building, though I don't know what's the meaning behind this building. haha

This is also located in Japan.  The architect is Yasuhiro Yamashita. Just by the name you will know his Japanese, right? haha

Waaahhhhh... Isn't that nice??? Yes, indeed it's Mcdonald's!!!

LOCATION : North Dallas, Texas.

No, it's not the basket you usually bring for picnic. It's a BUILDING!!! Yes, a building.

Well, Its the headquarters of The Longaberger Basket Company. Located in Newark, Ohio.

This shoe shaped building was built in 1948. It was used as a guest house by Mahlon N. Haines, the owner of a local shoe empire. Located in Hellam, Pennsylvania, this building has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen and a living room. It was an ice cream parlor for many years after Haines death, but is now a museum teaching visitors about the eccentric life of its creator.

CREATIVE! haha

 

This is another shoe shaped building. But it is a bit smaller. Its located in Bakersfield, California. Was built in 1947. It was built to be a shoe repair shop, and later it was sold with the stipulation that it would remain a shoe-related business. The store that the shoe currently houses is called the Big Shoe Repair and was still fixing soles when we called it last week.

Well, That's all for now. Thank you for reading, peeps! <3

Bye..  Oh, before I go, I also have a quote to post! haha

"Imagination is more important than knowledge" , Albert Einstein. 

I totally agree with Mr Albert. :P

Body Damaging Habits‏

After read this e-mail, just feel to share all this information with everyone.

Brain damaging habit

1. No Breakfast

People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.

2. Overeating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.

3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.

4. High Sugar consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.

5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our 20 body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.

6 . Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest.. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells..

7. Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.

8. Working your brain during illness
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.

9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.

10. Talking Rarely

Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain


The main cause of liver damage:

1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.

2. Not urinating in the morning.
3. Too much eating.
4. Skipping breakfast.
5. Consuming too much medication.
6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener.
7.. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil.

As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is20very fit.

8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver.

Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.

We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to 'schedule.'

The top five cancer-causing foods are:
1.. Hot Dogs
Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can't live without hot dogs, buy those made without sodium nitrate..

2. Processed meats and Bacon
Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon, and other processed meats raise the risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer.

3. Doughnuts
Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts, says Adams , may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer.

4. French fries
Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer- causing acryl amides which occur during the frying process. They should be called cancer fries, not French fries, said Adams ..

5. Chips, crackers, and cookies
All are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even the ones whose labels claim to be free of trans-fats generally contain small amounts of trans-fats.

Save the world

Denmark is a big shame The sea is stained in red and in the mean while it’s not because of the climate effects of nature.

Extra Quotes

After reading through the post about the quote, i decided to post some quotes:

"People live their lives bound by what they accept as correct and true. That's how they define "reality" 

But what does it mean to be "correct" or "true"? Merely vague concepts... Their "reality" may all be a mirage.

Can we consider them to simply be living in their own world shaped by their beliefs. "

-Uchiha Itachi

"Great power comes great responsibilities"

-Spiderman's beloved Uncle Ben

"Law of Equivalent Exchange- Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. I still choose to believe in this principle:
that all things do come at a price. That there's an ebb, and a flow, a cycle. That the pain we went through did have a reward and that anyone who's determined and perseveres will get something of value in return, even if it's not what they expected. I am unable to see an application in which the law does not apply. As I reflect upon all the objects I have acquired and those I still want, they all seem to tie into an exchange of my time here on earth. If I buy a new car, I pay for it with money I’ve earned with an expenditure of my time."

-Michael H. Keehn took the quote from Fullmetal Alchemist and add some of his quote.

"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give" "When the door of happiness closes, another opens; but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us." "To disagree, one doesn't have to be disagreeable." -Barry M. Goldwater- "If today were perfect, there would be no need for tomorrow!" -Caryn-

Cherish the love of your parents,it's them that you are who you are today,love them as much as they do as time is unforgiving.Once you missed the chance,it's a point of no return. Family is where your heart is and parents are the pericardium of the heart.
