For Women Money Is Like....for Men Money Is Like
a: For women money ~
b: STATUS
What: This is a seed of idea, which is a to an precursors to a concept, which is a piece of a paradigm........ The goal of this nub of an cognitive seed is to sprout and grow.....Men and Women approach money differently. In the extreme cases, money is freedom to men. For women it is status. With money, men can be FREE to do what they want what, when they want. For women, with money, they can build their family and their STATUS relative to other women. This is often a core conflict between men and women in marriage, as most know. These leads to the idea and reality of debt. Women are more willing to swap debt for status.

Multiviscosity Oil Molecule
a: Multi viscosity oil ~
b: a coil
What: "The oil molecule in the multiviscosity oil is like a coil. When it is cold the coil shrinks and is short, and when the oil is hot the coil stretches out and is long. When the coils are long they tangle up with each other, that is what makes the film strength, they don't want to separate and so stays between the metal parts. When cold and short, they don't tangle up with each other as much, hence they are more "willing" to move along and flow, but they also don't have as much film strength." This is a very good and succinct explanation.

a: Antibiotic resistant bacteria ~
b: leopard that has no spots
What: These bugs have changed their physiology in a way that makes many antibiotics ineffective. One possible mechanism is a mutation on the site where the antibiotic normally binds with the cell wall. The mutation in the binding site is vaguely similar to a leopard that has no spots. Everyone knows that a leopard is a cat that has spots. If a leopard had a kitten with no spots, a typical observer would not identify it as a leopard. The proteins on surfaces of bacteria can mutate so that antibiotics can not recognize them; therefore they will not bind to the unrecognized protein and deactivate the bacteria. This leopard has lost its spots.
