Hello!!!! my name is Eosinophil (w.b.c) Granulocyte. The W.B.C stands for white blood cell. even though my name means (eosin' = the name of a red dye, 'phil' = loving).but for short, my friends call me Eosi. I was born in "Bone Marrow" Ga. For school, I graduated from Haematopoiesis University and I am currently working full time at Immune System Corporations! :-) You see at my job, I'm responsible for: destroying multicellular parasites and certain infections in vertebrates, and I control mechanisms associated with allergy and asthma.
My about me & interest include: I make up 2-4% with in the blood in the body. I ABSOLUTELY love, attacking parasites and phagocyte antigen-antibody complexes. To fight them off I release a variety of cytokines, lipid mediators, and neuromodulators. etc (thats why I love the place where I work at!) My favorite t.v shows include Grey's Anatomy, House, Bones, and Discovery Health.
well enjoy my page!!! and dont be shy to add me!!! " Don't worry I won't destroy you! lol"

According to bloom, why would knowledge be seen as the lowest level of cognitive domain, where as evaluation would be seen as the highest order of intellectual activity?
: From blooms approach, evaluating is seen as: can the student justify a stand or decision? This implies that one must already have knowledge,understanding„ can analize and be able to apply it to outside sources depending on scenario. Whereas, in the perspective of knowledge it tries to emphasis for example, can the student recall or remember the information? which means that other cognitive perspectives are not being applied when placed in a different situation.
I see this as a way of saying that you can have all the knowledge in the world, but if you can not applies those outside of the environment that you learned it from, then there is no true form success or in other cases inhibiting the success of higher intellectual activity.

SOMETHING NEW
as i was taking a break, i decided to see if i can find any new “tricks” that i can do. and to my surprise i did!!!!!
1. i found out that, with out proper activiations causes many other mechanisims to be uncontrollable. ex. uncontrollable asthma
Mechanisms of uncontrolled asthma.The initial TH2 activation observed in asthma is responsible for eosinophil recruitment in airways, epithelium damage (IL-13), mucus secretion (IL-13), TH2 cell expansion, and B cell activation (IL-4, IL-13). Antigen binding of IgE at the surface of mast cells, is responsible for degranulation.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2011 to
Dan Shechtman
Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel“for the discovery of quasicrystals”
From the Press Release:
In quasicrystals, we find the fascinating mosaics of the Arabic world reproduced at the level of atoms: regular patterns that never repeat themselves. However, the configuration found in quasicrystals was considered impossible, and Dan Shechtman had to fight a fierce battle against established science. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2011 has fundamentally altered how chemists conceive of solid matter.

A view of the cell anatomy of a microscopic fungus’ zoospore, as shown through UA’s Transmission Electronic Microscope. One species of this type of fungus, known as chytrids, has been implicated in the extinction of more than 150 species of frogs, world-wide. Comparing the cell anatomy of various chytrid zoospores - mechanisms by which they reproduce - is key in identifying different species.

“even though im usually busy fighting infectious crimes, i love everything about science!!!!! so i had to post this!”
This is someone dying while having an MRI scan. Before you die, your brain releases tons and tons of endorphins that make you feel a range of emotions. Tragically beautiful.
Every time I just watch it for so long.
