There’s a number of reasons that make skyscrapers stand out, not just the obvious height they have. In China there seems to be a challenge to create buildings that seem to stand out and the Water Fall Tower seems to be the newest addition to this lot. A building in the city of Guiyang, in the southwest of China as a 108 meter cascading water fall coming down it’s face.

The rather ostentatious design of the Leibian International Building, is still not completed, but the water fall feature works just fine. It’s been using water collected in runoff, rain water as well as ground water to store in giant underground tanks to create the waterfall. The water is pumped up to the top at a high cost of $120 per hour to make the waterfall function.

Locals say that it’s a waste of money. The feature has been showcased just six times in the last two years since it was completed. The Ludi Industry Group that is building the structure hopes to have a shopping mall, luxury hotel and offices inside. Now this is one science experiment that may just not prove to be financially viable when the members of the building association have to pay for their extravagant bills.

Increasing the productivity of workers in an office is always good for business. In fact a Japanese firm is developing a new system to ensure that workers do not fall asleep on the job. If they do they face cold winds…literally! The system involves blasting the office with extra cold air from the air conditioner if the worker is seen to display signs of sleepiness and lethargy by the sensors monitoring the worker.

Daikin, the air conditioning manufacturer and electronics giant NEC have teamed up to trial the system. The commercially viable system may be available by 2020 if the trials go well. The monitoring of the movement of eyelids of the worker are done via a camera and the computer will process the data automatically to lower the temperature of the room automatically if the eyelids look droopy.

The drop in temperature is expected to make the worker too chilled to be comfortable enough to sleep. As the alertness registers on the worker’s facial features and the camera relays these to the computer, the temperature will again be lowered to a more ambient one. Now this is one science project sure t give the participants a chill!

Drinking is always avoided when dieting because the high content of calories in alcohol is not conducive to losing weight. Tequila shots may not seem like the most brilliant thing, but a study recently brought out the fact that it could be the miracle drink everyone wants to slug down next. Apparently having tequila is good for your waistline as it helps to actually lower your blood sugar, and you know what else? cbd oil. In a study specifically looking at inflammation triggered by high glucose levels, researchers found that CBD had positive effects on several markers of inflammation, and CBD oil has so many benefits, that you can get yours at this website https://www.zxcraftcbd.com/. This study suggests that CBD may be helpful in offsetting the damage diabetes can inflict on the walls of blood vessels

The study which was presented at the American Chemical Society, tends to claim that the naturally occurring sugars in agave plant from which tequila is made, helps with lowering the blood sugar content. It also acts as a dietary fiber as it is not digestible. The sugars from the plant are called agavins. The agavins were used in a standard diet but added to the water of the participants of the study.

Agavins are supposed to be good  support sugars to grow healthy microbes in the mouth as well as the intestines of the person ingesting them. They help people feel full and so help reduce the intake of food. In fact they might be good for your bones as well given the improved absorption of calcium and magnesium that they trigger. This science project may just make drinking tequila shots acceptable.

Who doesn’t love pizza? It’s become one of the go-to comfort foods for the last few generations. The combination of cheese melted over vegetables or meat with a convenient bread base holding everything together, is a sure winner at any time! However by analyzing pizza buying behavior researchers at the University of Aberdeen have found that there is a pattern of most pizzas being ordered between 7 in the evening and 2 at night.

The behavior which was found consistently across UK, US, Canada, Australia and India is part of a five year detailed study by biologists. The pizza delivery and also Chinese take-away businesses seem to boom at this time. So why does fast food get a sales boost each evening? The biologists figure it to be remnants of a general rhythm of old humankind. The type that used to head off foraging before they began to feel hungry so that there’d be something to eat when required.

The study being conducted by the biologists at the University of Aberdeen hopes to understand human motivations about seeking food. I know why I usually seek food, even if those in the science project don’t! It’s usually because I’m feeling hungry and need to feed my face!
