Apple Store, Fifth Avenue, New York

Unlike most Macintosh retailers that most of you see the glass retail space on the ground showing the beauty of Macs, iPods, and iPhones, the retail space is located UNDERGROUND!!!, and only part of the store above the ground is the glass cube. So, you can't see Macs, iPhones, and iPods demonstrators on the ground. You can see only Apple logo above, and the stairs are made by glass, and it's spiral, with a cylindrical glass elevator runs in the middle. So, you have to go down beneath the ground if you like to try a Mac or other Jobs' products.

Elevator ride from the basement to the surface. This elevator is made by Otis. Unlike most elevators found around us, this elevator is driven by hydro-electric system or what we call "Hydraulic".

Weather cooled down so quick....

November 18th, 2009: 29 Celsius in the morning
November 19th, 2009: 25 Celsius in the morning

This is really a dramatic change, that many of us can't adjust themselves to their proper homeostatic conditions. This causes illness to many people.

Taxonomical classification:

Red Blood Cell

Animal cells always burst in hypotonic condition. (Conc. in the cell is more than Conc. outside cell)
Osmosis: Water will flow from solution with lower concentration to solution with higher concentration.
Therefore, osmosis makes water to flow from outside into the cell. Unlike plant cells, animal cells don't have cell walls, so they can't tolerate higher internal pressure, and finally burst. Hypotonic plant cells are turgid, which is its healthy state.
(The best condition of animal cell is isotonic condition)

Respiratory pigments in crustacean arthropods and many molluscs

Hemocyanin:

• Similar to hemoglobin founded in vertebrates.
• Found in arthropods (especially crustaceans) and many molluscs.
• In the form of metalloproteins containing two copper atoms that reversibly bind a single oxygen molecule (O2). (Makes the blood blue from Cu2+ ion)
• Colourless when deoxygenated. (The blood appears as grey-white to pale yellow, due to the tissue fluid.)
• Dark blue when oxygenated.
• Most hemocyanins bind with oxygen non-cooperatively and are roughly one-fourth as efficient as hemoglobin at transporting oxygen per amount of blood.
• In some hemocyanins of horseshoe crabs and some other species of arthropods, cooperative binding is observed, with Hill coefficients between 1.6-3. (Hemoglobin for comparison has a Hill coefficient of usually 2.8-3)
• In case of cooperative binding, hemocyanin was arranged in protein sub-complexes of 6 subunits (hexamer), each with one oxygen binding site.
• Binding of oxygen on one unit in the complex would increase the affinity of the neighboring units.
• Hemocyanin oxygen-binding profile is also affected by dissolve-salt ion levels and pH.
• Hemocyanin oxygen transportation is more efficient than hemoglobin oxygen transportation in case of an animal that live in the cold environments and low oxygen pressure condition. (where several important marine invertebrates such as shrimps, crabs lives)
