Week 12 [12-18.06.2017] Wine

Wine
I won’t lie if I say that everyone tried many kinds of wine but there is only few of us who really know something more about this beverage. The first wines were made in middle-east part of our globe about 3000 years b.c.  It’s a long time ago, isn’t it? Ok, wine’s history is little boring, let me describe what types of wine we have and how it’s made.
The flavor mainly depends on grapes that are used. There are many factors affecting the quality of the vine like insolation, plants around vine, type of water, etc. Those factors have only a little influence on colour of wine. Color rather depends on the way of making wine. So, how it’s made? At first we have to squeeze the juice out under the pressure plate. In next step we have to initialize fermentation proces. There are several ways to do that, sometimes it’s a natural proces without any interference but sometimes it’s enhanced by chemical addons. Fermentation is very long proces and it mostly takes several weeks. On the end of this process, our wine is filterred few times and bottled. As you propably know, there are three main types of wine colour: white, pink and red. What do you think, is there possibility to make white wine from red grapes, or pink is made by mixing white and red one? Nothing more wrong – white wine is made in the same way like pink or red but in fermentation process we have to remove grape peels. Colour types are easy, there are higher level in case of wine flavour. It’s hard to describe because I’m not an expert so it’s better to watch a short red wine guide. It’s only little percent of wine knowledge. Here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvWL6_A7uQc

Week 12 (12.01-18.01.15) Are you an early bird or a night owl ?

Owls are nocturnal creatures. They’re wide awake at night and they sleep during the day. If this sounds like bliss to you, then, like about 20 percent of the population who find themselves most active at around 9 pm, you may fall into the same category as our feathered friend. Night owls often have difficulty waking up in the morning, and like to be up late at night.  Studies of animal behaviour indicate that being a night owl may actually be built into some people’s genes. This would explain why those late-to-bed, late-to-rise people find it so difficult to change their behaviour. The trouble for night owls is that they just have to be at places such as work and school far too early. This is when the alarm clock becomes the night owl’s most important survival tool. Experts say that one way for a night owl to beat their dependence on their alarm clocks is to sleep with the curtains open. The Theory is that if they do so, the morning sunlight will awaken them gently and natura...

Week 9 [11.12 - 17.12.2017] Is Scientific Community Accepting of New Ideas?

We all want to believe that science is about pushing the boundaries of knowledge, breaking the status quo and persuading curious ideas, even if the majority of people find them unbelievable. But is it so? There are many cases of scientists who were disgraced and persecuted by the scientific community simply because their findings challenged the already existing beliefs. Humberto Maturana and Lynn Margulis Humberto Maturana is a prominent biologist who studied the examples of symbiosis between organisms: fungi that control the ants (there are farming ants that grow fungi for food) or the parasites that hijack the brains of snails. https://www.une.edu.au/__data/assets/image/0005/24791/leucochloridium-paradoxum.jpg Maturana wondered how is it possible that a symbiosis so complex as the one between a worm and a snail could ever take place? I t occurred it is actually a more general argument about the evolution. What comes first: the design or the applic...
