 I create are useless at the same time that I choose the pain of my uselessness for the pleasure of my work and of the minimum contribution generated.
I got distracted for a while but again I think of Romeo. And again comes the resignation of the good: whenever something happens to him I will take care of him, when it doesn’t happen to him too. I choose to want while knowing there is nothing to do with his need for me. And I resign myself, also to being ridiculous, because I don’t know if you knew but cats like to be talked to like babies (Although I hate the expression “like babies” because babies are people and should be talked to like people, although there are studies that say that it doesn’t hurt them to talk to them like that, it is very irritating. On the contrary, having a language special for kittens seems fine to me so I propose to change the expression from ‘talk like a baby’ to ‘talk like a kitten’).
It turns out that speaking with a thin voice and extended vowels draws their attention quite a bit and helps them distinguish their humans from other people. The study I linked you to looked at 16 cats between the ages of 8 months and 2 years and asked their human housemates to record themselves saying things like “do you want to play?’” or “do you want a treat?”, one as if they were speaking to it to another human and another with a voice for kitten. In turn, they asked 16 women who did not know cats to make the same recordings.
The experiment consisted of playing the recordings of their humans with the cats in their own homes and in their presence, but without interaction. The researchers measured their level of reaction based on the dilation of their pupils, whether they moved their little ears, or whether they stayed still or moved towards the voice. Recordings 1,2,3 and 5 were human speech and 4 the kitten voice. When the first 3 passed the cats didn’t even get upset, in the 4th they changed their attitude quite a bit and in the 5th they returned to indifference. Later, they did the same with the recordings of the strangers and the cats or ball.
One possible hypothesis is that these were domestic cats that do not hear many voices other than those of their neighbors. And while what happened and why is a mystery, it does confirm that it is not true that cats do not care who they are around as long as they are fed, they know who you are and they know you are talking to them and not someone else..Maybe Romeo has also resigned himself to me, it would be as nice as I felt it to be true all the times that he took care of me.
I look at Calabria, her love now is being resigned to waiting, choosing patience and not terror. Look at the door since I came back yesterday without Romeo.  When I called saying that I wanted to adopt two kittens, they told me: “There are these two blacks, I have to adopt them separately but they don’t want to separate.” Loving someone, a bit like science, resigning oneself to error, choosing the test, clinging to the wait for something to happen that already happens on its own.
p/d1: at press time Romeo came home. It was indeed a constipation. Calabria saw it and continued to sleep on the couch. All 33 of us are fine.
I don’t know why, but I’m going to start doing posts for these now. 😛 This will probably help me remember so I don’t do too many songs repeatedly over and over again…I’m wont to do that entirely too often because I forget what songs I’ve done in the past.
So, like last week, I had a hard time choosing between two songs. This week, the two songs are very different just like last week. But I really do enjoy them both. So…check them out!
First up is Adison Lo (Luo Liwei) with his song “Rainbow Bridge” which is a very soft ballad track.
Next up is the rock-infused hip hop track off BTS’s latest “mini” album Skool Luv Affair – “Boy in Love”!Stats

The aim of this study is to make a system which predict quantitatively the various alterations in the pharmacokinetics by expanding the study of physiological model recently developed for the analysis of drug disposition based on the physiological, anatomical, and biochemical mechanisms. This alterations in pharmacokinetics include the species difference, interindivisual difference, age difference, effect of circadian rhythm, pathological condition, drug-drug interaction, in addition, effect of chemical structure and character of pharmaceutical formulation. It is now a true objective to complete the system to predict these alterations comprehenssively. For example, a) to establish a general methodology in scaling-up the pharmacokinetics by making a data bank systematically, b) to make clear the mechanisms of drug disposition in pathological condition or in multiple dosage regiments and to complete the methodology of prediction and diagnosis by studying the mechanism of drug transport i

n liver and kidney using cell or membrane vesicle system and by kinetic study using organ perfusion system, c) to predict the onset and offset of drug action by combining the studies on both drug-receptor interaction and pharmacokinetics. This group consisted of 13 members and continued the study for 2 years (1985 and 1986). This study has produced many original findings and important results. Special mention should be made on the following study: the analysis of pharmacokinetics of peptides based on the physiological transport mechanism, the prediction of the pharmacokinetics of antimicrobials based on the molecular mechanism and quantitative prediction of the pharmacological effect of these drugs, in addition, kinetic analysis of the process of transport and metabolism of drugs in kidney and liver based on physiological mechanism, especially, uneven distribution of the metabolic enzymes of conjugative ractions as well as oxidative reactions using isolated hepatocytes, and the establishement of the isolation of the baso lateral and brush border membrane vesicles from kidney and the kinetic analysis of active transport process using these membrane vesicle system. Meeting was held in every February in Tokyo and active discussions were made, which seemed to stimulate this project extremely. Less

Attribution of KAKENHIExcessive flight path noise from planes arriving at and departing from Brisbane Airport is a massive problem affecting thousands of Brisbane residents – in particular after the completion of the New Parallel Runway. It’s abundantly clear that something needs to be done to reduce noise pollution for Brisbane residents and find a more sustainable way of managing Brisbane Airport. But for those not directly affected it’s also a very important insight into the power big corporations can wield over people’s lives and the legal system that allows them to do it.
Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC) has produced a flight path design and operational model that maximises profit at the expense of Brisbane residents, small businesses and local schools, with no meaningful oversight from regulators or the Federal Government. Meanwhile, Airservices Australia, which is meant to act as an impartial regulator, appears to have completely rolled over for Brisbane Airport Corporation.
In fact Brisbane Airport has one of the worst noise abatement plans in the developed world. Unlike Sydney Airport it has no curfew and is currently run to maximise profit at the expense of Brisbane residents and the environment. Not only that but BAC is completely exempt from state level noise pollution laws – and in the medium term it’s clear we desperately need national legislation to regulate and mandate restrictions on aircraft noise.
I’ll be spending the next few months talking to residents and the excellent Brisbane Flight Path Community Alliance (www.BFPCA.org.au) who you should definitely follow for updates on the campaign
