Children and social adjustment

Last week, I were in the shopping centre with my 7 years old sister. We were walking by one of the toy shops. I know how much she enjoys such places, so I decided to enter. During our "travel" between aisles I heard a lot of times that she want a toy, because someone else has the same one. I think it is in some way good example of social adjustment. People from a young age try to integrate into group by various behaviours and some kind of "popular" things. I think it's really important for children to have positive peer relations. In future peers will take over supporting role. However, People should draw the line between participation in common activities and doing things in spite of themselves.

Typically, these creatures float around the ocean undetected. They don't glow all of the time. It takes energy to make the chemicals that allow them to glow. However, when they are under stress, whether from strong current or crashing wave, they emit beautiful light. This marvelous phenomenon was used by director Ang Lee in the film  "Life of Pi". Nevertheless, this phenomenom is not a good think. It's also know as a "red tide", what is common term used for harmful algal bloom. Some of these tiny organisms produce toxins that kill marine animals, make shellfish dangerous to eat and have harmful effects for human. National Ocean Service have been monitoring and studying this phenome...

Peacock and computer screen

The main topics in this podcast are peacocks and colors. Lector tells some basic information about peacocks and their behavior, how work human receptors and what is the difference between normal color and color on peacock's tail named structural color. And how people could use structural color in technology.  I think that it's great idea to save energy. If we could make colors through complex structures instead of normal screens, we would in some way relieve to our planet. Nowadays, people use a lot of electronic devices. Everybody need some of them to life in our society. New screen with structural colors could be a really valuable invention. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p07phxzq
