UST holds Workshop on Microscale Chemistry
Manila Bulletin
This workshop aims to contribute to the improvement of the teaching and learning of chemistry by enabling schools and colleges to conduct more laboratory activities at a low cost through the use of simple equipment and reduced amounts of chemicals. This innovative approach is being promoted by the United Nations Education Scientific and Cultural rganization (UnESC) and the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. The objectives of the workshop include familiarizing the participant teachers with the microscale approach in the teaching of chemistry laboratory courses providing the participant teachers with hands-on experience in the use of microscale chemistry laboratory experiments that they can incorporate in the laboratory courses that they are teaching and presenting a platform for the sharing experiences in the teaching of chemistry laboratory courses in the various programs.
Physics chemistry say evolution is impossible
Abilene Reporter-News
As an engineer I kept wondering how I could teach that God created the heaven and the earth with all the people and animals in six days and rested on the seventh when my students had all been taught that the cosmos was billions of years old. I have looked at the literature arguing for evolution and creation and I have some strong opinions. Scientists argue that evolution is a proven scientific fact but the facts are that the laws of physics and chemistry say that evolution is impossible. This means that people were created by some other method. The chief scientist of the Vatican gave a talk in Abilene a few years ago and stated that he believed in the laws of physics and that they said evolution was impossible. He then said “But it happened. ” Why did he say that? Because if he had said that he believed that God had created humanity he would have been unable to publish any scientific findings.

Mourning Paper
New York Times
Flavia de Luce the 11-year-old heroine of Alan Bradley’s first mystery THE SWEETNESS AT THE BTTM F THE PIE (Delacorte $23) goes her way on a beat-up bicycle she calls Gladys more independent and demonstrably naughtier than her literary sister-sleuths. The neglected youngest daughter of a widower who never looks up from his precious stamp collection Flavia takes refuge from her loneliness in the magnificent Victorian chemistry laboratory an ancestor installed at the family’s estate in the English countryside. With “An Elementary Study of Chemistry” as her bible the precocious child has become an expert in poisons — a nasty skill that gets her in trouble when she melts down a sister’s pearls but serves her well when a stranger turns up dead in the cucumber patch and her father is arrested for murder. Impressive as a sleuth and enchanting as a mad scientist (“What a jolly poison could be extracted from the jonquil”) Flavia is most endearing as a little girl who has learned how to amuse herself in a big lonely house. If WHISPERS F THE DEAD (Delacorte $26) sends readers to Simon Beckett’s fine previous mysteries “The Chemistry of Death” and “Written in Bone” then justice will have been served. Maybe it’s only a matter of crossed cultural wires but David Hunter the author’s engaging British sleuth fails to thrive when he pays a visit to the Forensic Anthropology Center (“the Body Farm”) in Knoxville Tenn. where he trained early in his career.
Central grads aim to exceed goals
Clarksville Leaf Chronicle
“This Class of 2009 is prepared and capable of making a difference in our community” she said. Students like Sarah Davies Clayton Griffith Courtney Nix Laura Sanchez and Michael Williams are examples of how the Montgomery Central Indians do not intend to shirk the mantle of responsible citizenship. Courtney intends to start her studies with a chemistry degree at Austin Peay to become a pediatrician. Laura is enrolled at Miller Motte wanting to become a massage therapist and own her own business. Clayton is geared up for the chemical engineering technology program at Austin Peay to study chemistry and engineering. “I love math and chemistry. I intend to use that to my advantage to help the environment and get a job with Hemlock Semiconductor when it opens in 2012″ Clayton said.
