“[… ]because I sometimes have moments of such despair, such despair … Because in those moments I start to think that I will never be capable of beginning to live a real life; because I have already begun to think that I have lost all sense of proportion, all sense of the real and the actual; because, what is more, I have cursed myself; because my nights of fantasy are followed by hideous moments of sobering! And all the time one hears the human crowd swirling and thundering around one in the whirlwind of life, one hears, one sees how people live—that they live in reality, that for them life is not something forbidden, that their lives are not scattered for the winds like dreams or visions but are forever in the process of renewal, forever young, and that no two moments in them are ever the same; while how dreary and monotonous to the point of being vulgar is timorous fantasy, the slave of shadow, the of the idea, the slave of the first cloud that covers the sun […]”

spread-the-light:

Each day, we all fight for what we believe, in some way, shape or form.

Sometimes we forget though. We get so wrapped up in our daily lives that we forget to fight. We forget that there are people still out there fighting. When I saw this video, I was forcibly reminded of everyone out there taking a stand for the cause they believe in. I was inspired to do the same.

Fight for equality. Spread the love, and spread the light <3

We all are the same!!!

Northern lights sweep above a cabin in Abisko in northern Sweden on January 7. “The entire sky opened up like a beautiful inferno,” photographer Peter Rosén told spaceweather.com. “Red, blue and green like a dancing queen on the sky.”
The solar ejections that cause auroras can also create geomagnetic storms that can affect spacewalking astronauts, Earth-orbiting satellites, and even communications and power systems on the ground.

Cockroach Brains May Hold New Antibiotics?

Cockroach Brains May Hold New Antibiotics?:

Cockroaches may make your skin crawl, but the insects—or, to be exact, their brains—could one day save your life.

That’s because the central nervous systems of American cockroaches produce natural antibiotics that can kill off bacteria often deadly to humans, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and toxic strains of Escherichia coli, scientists said this week.

Two species of locust tested so far also have the same bacteria-killing molecules in their tiny heads.

The findings suggest that the insect world—which makes up 80 percent of all animals on Earth—may be teeming with new antibiotics, said study co-author Simon Lee of the University of Nottingham in the U.K.

Such a discovery is crucial, because scientists are scrambling to combat strains of several infectious diseases, including MRSA and E. coli, that are resistant to traditional antibiotics, Lee said.

“It’s a promising new lead. We are looking in an unusual place, and to my knowledge no one else is looking there,” Lee said.

“That’s what we need in terms of [finding new] antibiotics, because all the usual places”—such as soil microbes, fungi, and purely synthetic molecules—”have been exhausted.”

Insect Brains Have “Clever Defense” Against Bacteria

Lee and colleagues dissected the tissues and brains of cockroaches—which “smell as bad as they look,” Lee said—and locusts in the lab.

The team tested nine separate types of antibacterial molecules found in the insects’ brains and discovered that each molecule is specialized to kill a different type of bacteria.

This “very clever defense mechanism” allows the bugs to survive in the most dirty of domains, Lee said.

The scientists found the bugs had antibiotics only in their brain tissue, the most essential part of the body, he added.

A bug might live with an infected leg, for instance, but a brain infection would almost certainly be fatal.

Insect-brain drugs for humans are still years away, Lee said, but there’s one hopeful glimmer: When the team added the insect antibiotics to human cells in the lab, there were no toxic effects.

Preliminary findings on antibiotics in bug brains were presented at the Society for General Microbiology meeting held this week at the University of Nottingham.

Sometimes you don't want to tell them your problems. It's not because you don't want their help, but sometimes the answer they give you are always the same. At times you just need to hear something that's different, something that would help you change your mind.

“He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.”

Library Girl [original song] A video/song too good to pass up; It’s an original song by singer/songwriter, Reina del Cid, about a library-type-person. [via ReinaDelCid]

From youtube:
To all kindred nerds.

Shelving books on the night shift
It takes some time, but I guess I like it
Dewey’s decimals keep me company

Out the window, you are dancing
With those girls who can’t stop laughing
Lip-gloss, too hot, fake-baked drama queens

You were drinking a margarita
I was reading My Antonia
I got to thinking that

I don’t fit inside that world
And I’m not like those other girls
Oh no, I’m not, I think a lot
But please don’t be afraid

Just ‘cause I navigate the media
And use encyclopedias
It doesn’t mean that I don’t need
A boy just like you to talk to

Set my cup back on its saucer
At the coffee shop, reading Chaucer
With my iPod on my favorite track

The girls you’re with get turtle lattes
Decaf, skim-based, extra frothy
But you and I both drink our coffee black

You were talking about ACDC
And I was playing my Puccini
I got to thinking that

Repeat Chorus

You can buy me a margarita
And I will lend you My Antonia
You can take me to ACDC
And I’ll play you my Puccini
It doesn’t matter that

I don’t fit inside that world
I’m not like those other girls
Oh no, I’m not, I think a lot
But you are not afraid.

That I navigate the media
And use encyclopedias
It doesn’t mean that I don’t need
A boy just like you to talk to

Love this!!!!

I’m not like those other girls
Oh no, I’m not, I think a lot
