On knowledge sharing and dissemination

... when circulating a working paper for comments, never put on "citations only permitted with the permission of author"

or "no parts of this paper can be used without permission of author". Rather, say "when using parts of this paper please give proper citation and help yourself". Be delighted if someone wants to quote you ... (p.7)

Catecholamines ... and abscisic acid


Assalamualaikum wbt ...

AlhamduLillah syukur ...

last cerita was on plant hormones including ...

abscisic acid kan ... yang nak pekse ... eja ... abs ... cis ... ic :)

today let's get to know ...

catecholamines ... 

do i know how to pronounce this? ... haha ... no matter ...

here is a feeler about this hormone ...

When we are angry our body releases hormones called catecholamines. These hormones generate energy. That is why we suddenly feel like we have a burst of renewed strength. Then in turn our adrenal organs begin to work overtime which is why we feel on edge. These adrenal organs will continue working overtime as long as we are thinking about the situation that made us angry in the first place. This is why we can stay angry and on edge from hours to days.

what happened? ... i had some challenge getting baseline data ... and it was not terribly difficult for some entity to release them ... but it has to be difficult for me ... nak buat PhD kan kan ... so kena lah nangis kan ... hehe ...

no no no ... anak abah tak nanges ...  insyaAllah, insyaAllah, insyaAllah no ... ameen ...
rather she would spend her burst of renewed strength into helping the plants in her laman kecik release their abscisic acid (although i like that name gibberellins more)  ... :)

processnya macam ni ...

ambil gergaji ...

select a plant ... this time the oleander ...

select one dahan or two or three ... depending on your catecholamines level ...

then ... gergaji ... ! ... woittt ganas amattt ...

no no no ... i gergaji veryyyy gently ...

sambil belai belai lagi ... (sebab tetiba teringat ini ... Hadith No 19)

dalam bahasa biasa proses cantas mencantas ni we call trimming/pruning ...

that will trigger the release of that plant hormone ... abscisic acid

which will promote new lateral branches ... bagi cantik lagi insyaAllah pokok tu ...

~

so maknanya ... bila kita kena cantas ... kita makin bertambah cantik lah insyaAllah ... :)

yes ... AlhamduLillah syukur ...


hmmm ... ini lah hasil cantasan orang yang terlebih catecholamines tu ...
bunga-bunga dari hujung hujung dahan yang sudah kena gergaji tadi saya simpan dalam air ... not sure how long they will last ...

but thank you so much ... for being so beautiful ...

~

caution ...

and jangan simpan oleander flower cuttings dalam rumah ... because the oleander plant and its leaves, flowers and sap are poisonous ...

kalau dah kering potongan potongan nya di bakar pun jangan ... asapnya juga poisonous ...

ni oleander yang dibelai ... google image


ni oleander yang berdikari ... google image

by the way the common name of this bunga is ... 
firecracker plant ... 

how apt ... 
to sejukkan orang panas hehe ...

 AlhamduLillah ... syukur
