Mexican chemical engineering student creates a way to clean clothes without water or detergent | Latina Lista

Jessica Cruz Aguirre[/caption], a student at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) (National Autonomous University of Mexico), discovered one way that clothes can be cleaned without water or detergent — but by using bacteria.The bacterias used are mostly associated with metals but Aguirre has fine-tuned the “eating” properties of the bacteria to create a cleaning agent for clothes. Aguirre trained the bacteria to eat the organic materials associated with wine stains. Without genetically modifying the bacteria, Aguirre allowed the bacteria to learn to recognize wine as a food source. Over time, the bacteria naturally modified itself to see wine as food. Once it accomplished that, Aguirre mixed wine with cooking oil and sweat so that the bacteria can see those mixtures as dirt and eat them too.Aguirre and her project partner, Paulina Mar Lucas, envision their creation as a single container that has two sprays. One spray releases the bacteria onto the dirty garment where on contact the bacteria eats organic particles, removes odor and stains. A second misting kills these organisms and adds softening and perfumes to the clothes so they feel soft and smell pleasant.

Uproar in St. Petersburg after demon statue destroyed | News | DW.COM | 30.08.2015

Famed for its cultural heritage, St. Petersburg is often called the “northern Palmyra” because of its rich architectural treasures. After the destruction of the bas relief some drew parallels between the Russian vandals and Islamic State militants who have blown up temples in the ancient Syrian oasis city of Palmyra.Earlier this month fundamentalist Orthodox activists attacked exhibits at a show of sculptures in Moscow, saying they offended believers. More than $15,000 (13,420 euros) worth of damage was reportedly done to Soviet-era linocuts in the incident.

“I tried to warn her about her last boyfriend, but she didn’t want to listen. Once I overheard him telling her that she needed to respect him. I knew that was bad news. Then he left his home because he got in an argument with his family. I told her: ‘If he’ll do that to his family, he’ll do it to you too.’ But she didn’t listen. She stopped talking to me for a long time. Then sure enough, he took off and left her. She came back and thanked me. Go on, tell them. Mother was right.”

“My daughter has a heart for animals. She wants to start her own charity to help dogs and cats. But I worry that she will get her heart broken because we have no culture for animals here. Animal lovers are seen as a little strange. But I try to encourage her because I don’t want her to do it secretly. Last year she saw a cat break its leg on the street. And without telling me, she took a taxi all the way to Tehran, just to find a veterinarian.”(Anzali, Iran)
