The Ins and Outs of Bellybutton Lint, by Joel Guthrie

Some scientists gaze into outer space to look for answers. Some scientists seek answers in the depths of the sea. When Georg Steinhauser wanted answers, he looked within himself. Well, he looked within his bellybutton to be exact. The Austrian chemist spent three years researching the contents of his navel and the navels of others. He has solved one of life's greatest mysteries. We now know exactly what bellybutton lint contains!

Steinhauser presented his findings in the online version of the journal Medical Hypotheses. The Vienna University scientist analyzed over 500 samples to determine the exact makeup of the lint. As suspected, most of the lint was made up of cotton from clothing. The fabric pieces are not alone, though. Steinhauser found that the average bellybutton also contained pieces of dead skin, sweat, dust, and fat.

Steinhauser's notes also explained how lint accumulates. Stomach hairs tend to grow in a circular pattern around the belly button. The hairs act like small hooks, capturing and holding contents within. Shaving stomach hair can lead to a lint-free bellybutton, but don't act too hastily. Although the contents of your navel may be a nuisance, research suggests that lint has a purpose. It is nature's way of protecting your bellybutton from germs and unwanted objects.

How does Earth's interior work
forsale [732]

Answer:

he Earth’s interior is made up of 4 basic zones: the Crust (down to about 70 km), the Mantle (70-2981 km), the liquid Outer Core (2891-5154km) and then the solid Inner Core.

In the Mantle, the rocks move slowly over million of years due to convection (think of a lava lamp with hot blobs moving up and cold blobs moving down). There are many theories as to what pattern of convection we have, but currently geophysicists and geodynamicists think that the whole of the mantle convects together such that convection cells span from top to bottom. The motion of the cell is driven by the subduction of the cold oceanic plates from the surface as they descend through the mantle. Heat rises to the surface from the core-mantle boundary bringing hot rocks with it and the rocks explore out of the surface at hot spots like Hawaii

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:    D) Ann

Explanation:  Given that the whole scenario started when Ann called her sister Stacey, it means that the first sender was Ann, i.e. the first to send a message when she called her sister Stacey. Only then did Stacey call her husband to consult with him and return a call to her sister Ann. The fact that Ann initiated the communication, that is, sent an initial message in this communication, she is the one who is the first sender. Stacey as well as her husband can be classified as message recipients or audiences in the context of communication.
