Make your own non-Newtonian slime.


Instructables has step-by-step instructions for making your own Rheopectic slime.
The slime we made is a Non Newtonian fluid and is rheopectic which means it shows an increase on its apparent viscosity with time under a constantly applied stress.

In other words, the more you play with it, it will become more viscous (even you can make a ball with it and it bounces) and we you stop (the shearing force is gone) it starts flowing (see the video, first you will see it flow when no shear force is present (you can also leave it in a table an see how it flows), then I applied a shear force on it and made it a ball that bounced.

This recipe is not safe for children under 5, who might eat it. Link

Honestly thought I had heard of every single idea on how to loose weight, until I got to this article. It could be because of the elevation, cold weather that decreases hunger for some people and they end up loosing weight. Only time Im up 7000 feet in elevation is at Big Bear, Ca. when I go skiing and even then its a work out. Good to know.

This does seem a little bit crazy - I live on the third floor of an apartment and am not super fit. Just kidding:) I would like to lose some weight though - maybe my next vacation will be to a mountain or high altitude destination!
