Dieffenbachia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dieffenbachia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If you have a plant like the one in the picture below, get rid of it.

This plant is very common at our houses, gardens, parks and offices (popular as indoor & outdoor plant). The plant (Dumb Cane or Dieffenbachia) is now proven to be dangerous, so, please take care!

I know that the leaf of this plant causes itching if its sap (milk) touches your skin. But there are more dangerous facts! Read the details below.

May be useful for you. You better believe it.
Please read below.
One of my friends almost lost her daughter who put a piece of the leaf of this plant in her mouth and her tongue swelled to the point of suffocation. This is one plant but there are others with the same characteristics of coloring. Those are also poisonous and we should get rid of them. Please watch out for our children. As we all leave our children at home in the hands of a nanny, we should give them a safe environment where they can play .

Name: Dumb Cane or Dieffenbachia
"This plant that we have in our homes and offices is extremely dangerous!
This plant is common in Rwanda. It is a deadly poison, most specially for the children. It can kill a kid in less than a minute and an adult in 15 minutes. It should be uprooted from gardens and taken out of offices. If touched, one should never touch his/her eyes; it can cause partial or permanent blindness. Please alert your friends


Avaaz - Killing thousands to make millions

In days, a multi-billion dollar Swiss pharma company may get the Indian Supreme Court to shut down our supply of affordable medicines.Only we can stop this outrage.

Novartis is suing our government so it can squeeze more profits from the sick and needy. If Novartis wins, it will threaten Indian companies’ ability to produce low-cost medicines for malaria, AIDS, cancer and other life-threatening diseases, depriving millions around the world of the treatments they desperately need and threatening thousands of Indian jobs. But people power can push Novartis to drop the suit before the final ruling.

One man is masterminding this stealthy attack on the health of millions -- Ranjit Shahani, who heads Novartis India and India’s massively powerful pharmaceutical lobby group. When 100,000 people have signed the petition we’ll stage hard hitting actions targeting Shahani by name and push him to drop the case!

30 giant hornets vs. a whole honey bee hive



Thirty Japanese giant hornets take on an entire hive of European honey bees and slaughter 30,000 bees in three hours.


Not having evolved alongside the giant hornet, European honey bees don't have a natural defense against them. But the Japanese honey bee does:


The Japanese honey bee, on the other hand, has a defense against attacks of this manner. When a hornet approaches the hive to release pheromones, the bee workers emerge from their hive in an angry cloud-formation with some 500 individuals. As they form a tight ball around the hornet, the ball increases in heat to 47 °C (117 °F) from their vibrating wings, forming a convection oven as the heat released by the bees' bodies is spread over the hornets. Because bees can survive higher temperatures (48 to 50 °C (118 to 122 °F)) than the hornet (44 to 46 °C (111 to 115 °F)), the latter dies.

Replacing our old worn-out kilogram


The standard measure for the kilogram needs to change because, offically speaking, the universe is gaining mass. The trick is finding a technique that ties the kilogram to a fundamental constant (like the second is tied to energy transition times in cesium atoms).


Familiarly known as Le Grand K and held in a vault just outside of Paris under three bell jars, [the international prototype kilogram] dates back to the 1880s, when it was forged by the British metallurgist George Matthey from an alloy of nine-tenths platinum and one-tenth iridium. As a metric unit, the kilogram is "equal to the mass of the international prototype," according to the official definition. In other words, as metrologists like to point out, it has the remarkable property of never gaining or losing mass. By definition, any physical change to it alters the mass of everything in the cosmos.

Aside from a yearly ceremonial peek inside its vault, which can be unlocked only with three keys held by three different officials, the prototype goes unmolested for decades. Yet every 40 years or so, protocol requires that it be washed with alcohol, dried with a chamois cloth, given a steam bath, allowed to air dry, and then weighed against the freshly scrubbed national standards, all transported to France. It is also compared to six temoins (witnesses), nominally identical cylinders that are stored in the vault alongside the prototype. The instruments used to make these comparisons are phenomenally precise, capable of measuring differences of 0.0000001 percent, or one part in 1 billion. But comparisons since the 1940s have revealed a troublesome drift. Relative to the t'emoins and to the national standards, Le Grand K has been losing weight -- or, by the definition of mass under the metric system, the rest of the universe has been getting fatter. The most recent comparison, in 1988, found a discrepancy as large as five-hundredths of a milligram, a bit less than the weight of a dust speck, between Le Grand K and its official underlings.

Twinkle Twinklu Liddle Star

Ah.. I heard enough of Kolaveri song for now.. the Metallic, Carnatic and the Original. Then went with the Dances by Tamil Guys and Japanese Gals. Now I saw this one. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, sung my a "little grown-up" girl. I found it shared by my friend on Facebook, but I wanted it to be on my Blog, keeping the Rights to its owners. Have a look at this wonderful Little star, Twinkling the Twinkle Twinkle little star in various accents. I am sure that you would enjoy this. However, this is not to hurt anyone's accent, may it be an Indian or any other Country citizens. This is purely for entertainment.

How many of us sing this in our own way. A nursery rhyme that can entertain us.

Classic-al Kolaveri. - Why this Kolaveri in Carnatic

This morning I was thinking of Sri Shankaraabharanam. I saw the movie a long time ago and remember the artist (I prefer to say Sankara Sastry here)  was a Classical master and once he was disturbed by so called modern BoYs, who were practising their Western Music, and irritated by their action,  Sankara Sastry comes out and shows them the power of Carnatic music in gentle manner. Now, I still didn't understand Why this Kolaveri di? not just we - even Carnatic didn't have a choice by the singers here. Listen to Why this Kolaveri in Carnatic Style here.
