Golden Key is the world's largest collegiate honor society. Membership into Golden Key is by invitation only, to the top 15% of college/university 2nd, 3rd and 4th year students and top performing US graduate students in all fields of study, based solely on the criteria of their academic achievements. - from wikipedia. I'm not an American so I don't know fully about this. But it seems legit. A little less impressive than other collegiate socs I imagine but still if it's 80 bucks it's worth rubber stamping onto your resume/cv/ various app forms. So I'd say go for it. reminded me of this. [hide] Homer: Mail call! Gather 'round, everyone! All right, one for ... resident. Marge: That's me! Homer: Well, that's it. Bart: One stinkin' letter? Why'd you make us gather 'round like that? Homer: I needed my power fix. [sighs contentedly] Marge: Hey, listen to this! [reading letter] Congratulations, your child, or children, have been selected in "Who's Who Among American Elementary School Students." Marge: Please submit their names, along with ninety-five dollars, for each handsome volume you wish to order! Oh, I've never been so proud! [kisses both of them] You both deserve a big, big reward! Lisa: Mom, they put every kid in America in that book, just so gullible parents will buy it. It's all a big scam. Bart: [sotto voce] Shut up ... Marge: Are you sure? I can usually smell a scam from two towns over. Bart: Yeah, Lis', she is a smart, sophisticated woman. [winks at Lisa] Now, let's hear more about that big, big reward. Homer: Yeah, quit stalling, Marge, we want our reward.[/hide] I got a similar thing when I was in grade 4 and a poem of mine was going to be published in some book, but I guess I just lost $30

Been known for a while that PURis vulnerable to catalytic degrade, the paper mentions a specific type of serine hydrolases (i'll get some pics) which act on it. Stuff like PVC, olefins and polyethylenes are harder. I imagine due to a different group. checked wikipedia and It's an isocyanate/hydroxyl group that PUR has. This is cool but eh. The enzyme excreted by the fungi (Pestalotiopsis microspora ) (this is what the paper says, excreted specifically seeing as it is using as a carbon source and when they did it in the plate the PUR started degrading quite a way off from where they had intially cultured it). But yeah. So what the scientists did (they did a bunch of stuff it's a long ass paper and keep in mind I dont understand half of this shit, seeing as I'm a lowly student so someone feel free to correct me) [i'll add more here soon, still reading]. of interest ^ third picture second paragraph. They first tested a bunch of these microbes, found that this particular species was especially good at breaking down polyurethane given the correct conditions (they did both aerobic and anaerobic tests) in various cultures and plates. To test if it was that serine hydrolase that was breakingt the N-ester linkage (??) they added ____. Did various photospec (aside from the UV-vis) and IR absorptions to see how much of the PUR had been degraded and what breakdown compounds were produced (again through IR absorption). Second part they actually characterized the fungi's ability both to produce the enzyme and the enzyme's function itself. So for the first one they added some compound that would affect the microbe's ability to make this class of serine hydrolase and secondly added another compound (two different ones) that would [bleep] up the ability of the enzyme to act on the PUR (in layspeak). They did a bunch of other shit too, still reading (they tested about a dozen different microbes blah). as said below, likely nothing will come of it.

hey [bleep] my name is john etc etc etc how'all'y'all'doin

leaving in 2,3 days. finally exiting this cursed hellhole (murrica) i kid i kid. good to go home soon. I;ll kiss the earth of australialand as soon as I touch down.

I can't comment on anything Al Sharpton says or else I'm a racist, but any liberal is allowed to say anything they want about Clarence Thomas, Allen West, or Herman Cain. Furthermore, if I say Obama is clean and articulate, I'm racist, but when Harry Reid says it, it's a complement. I can go on and on for each example, but if you haven't realized it yet, you may never understand it, and I'm seriously late for that clan meeting. :rolleyes: Are you trolling? Nope. When George W. Bush pronounces nuclear wrong, he's an idiot. When Barrack Obama pronounces Navy corpsmen wrong, everyone ignores it. lol. the level of hypocrisy displayed is astounding. dubya IS an idiot. hurry along for the klan meeting (Im joking here)

http://forum.tip.it/topic/307663-construct-a-signatureavatar/

as title reads and as I have mentioned before: "taking suggestions for avatar and signature all things considered" previous suggestions: *Something related to tacos. *Go with a taco bell gordita * ) ^ i am fond of this you can make one yourself and post it here, all goes quality of the like is expected but not necessary

[bleep] you honkies and allyall your pasty cracka asses (happy now?) - I wonder what the blacks in america think of this. Most of you are white so it'd be interesting to see what the other group thinks.

i feels less and less of an inclination and willingness to post elaborate and spun out posts at the frequent rate at which i used to in the past. people need to start having some relevancy and interest again, i put the blame on all of you and none of me. refuse to hold myself accountable (hi all)

i saw quite a few black people. (the term african america is unnecessary, irrevlant and [bleep]ed, I as a non-american have this view - so you probably dont give a shit anyway). but yeah I would like to be able to switch between their patois and my own. dat reel type of boondocks [racist term] shit nuhwhumsayin. would be useful

lol you could've mentioned this earler.

christ you guys make me seem like an alcoholic. granted back home I don't drink nearly as frequently, but recently I've been hitting the piss quite hard

taking suggestions for avatar and signature all things considered

Q, How often do you people drink alone ? When you do how much do you drink What are you doing whilst drinking

lotsa cool shit

always thought you were 13,14 tops

staya day mayte ga'rn av a ganda

typed out a whole elaborate response but I lost it, so eh in a nutshell it's the "[bleep] off we're full" type of racism that furah is referring to. for the most part it's perpetuated by uneducated white australians (dont read too much into that "white" part, everyone has the capacity to be a bigot). it stems from a retarded sense of entitlement *they have by being born here or having anglo ancestors (in essence white), unless you're one of the two you're "not a real aussie". this translates into : if you're an immigrant you're destroying australian culture and values. it doesnt help when our piss poor press and media (this is a guarantee by the way, every year without fail) run deceitful and misleading features on "australia day racism, the australian flag, so on and so on". added to this there's a culture of drinking here which adds to the jingoism you might hear about. examples: [hide][/hide] there's a few yt vids I'd like to post which are humorous in nature but I think Id be banned again (thanks mods). Realize, i'm making it sound far worse than it actually is. There's always a few bad apples.

Hi. Please continue. another drinking night [hide] inventory double rum sour double rum and coke 3 peach schnapps 1 black raspberry schnapps, 1 double jwb neat.[/hide] all i feel is hungry, i have become a monster, tolerance too high everything ive ever loathed it's nearly 6AM, i might aswell watch some AD now

something by ulrich schnauss

hi everyone

lol what's the story. - I've been thinking about getting a vape myself but they're so darned expensive, if I do get one it's going to be the likes of an mflb and not a volcano.

didnt like this whole avatar thing. back to normal eh

the fact that Newt "[bleep]bag" Gingrich can even RUN, let alone garner votes should be proof enough alone.
