KOMIK
Commentary by Mike Adams, the creator of this cartoon:
The fluoride issue is, in my opinion, a “sanity test” for anyone who claims to know anything about health. As I will explain here, all the dentists, doctors and government health authorities who actually promote the fluoridation of public water supplies are nothing less than clinically insane.
How do I know? Because I know where this so-called “fluoride” comes from. Cities actually buy the stuff from coal plants and chemical manufacturers, where it would normally have to be disposed of as a toxic waste chemical if it wasn’t sold to towns and cities to be dumped into the water supply. This fluoride byproduct of chemical processing is so toxic that it’s a violation of environmental laws to dump it into any river. Yet it’s somehow perfectly legal to feed it to infants, children, adults and senior citizens who are drinking from the public water supply. Interesting, huh? It’s so toxic that it kills fish, but dentists want your babies to drink it.
The entire pro-fluoride argument lacks a single shred of scientific evidence showing any benefit whatsoever to the mass consumption of the fluoride chemical. Essentially, the leaders in dentistry and medicine simply invented a myth about fluoride and dental health, then invested their careers and egos in the desperate defense of this myth, even as the scientific evidence clearly shows increased rates of hip fractures, fluorosis and even cancer from fluoride consumption.
The claims about fluoride essentially make it a drug according to FDA regulations, yet this “drug” has never been approved as a treatment or cure for dental caries by the FDA. Furthermore, can you think of any other drug that is mass-medicated to the entire population with no diagnosis, no medical oversight and no patient follow-up whatsoever? It’s like dumping Prozac into the water supply and saying, “Everyone is depressed and needs their brain chemistry balanced.” A silly idea, of course, but it’s essentially the same as dumping fluoride into the water supply.
Of course, any use of reason, logic or genuine science is not allowed in the fluoride debate. Dentists, doctors and health authorities viciously defend the indiscriminate fluoridation of all humans with the ferocity of rabid pack dogs. For any sane person to even suggest that perhaps industrial waste chemicals should not be dumped into public water supplies is to invite a wild-eyed verbal assault by dentists so filled with ignorance and froth that you would think you were insulting the false gods of some outdated superstition from eons past. Which, of course, is exactly what fluoridation is: superstition.
Any perceived health benefit of mass fluoridation is nothing more than persistent myth, desperately defended by the most irrational, unscientific and easily offended members of modern society — who all happen to reside in some branch of medicine, by the way. These myth pushers claim to base their support of dumping toxic chemicals into the water supply based on so-called “scientific evidence” that they can never quite produce. The only evidence they have is the circular-logic statements of various dentists quoting each other in some sort of deviant doctoral blabbing contest. Meanwhile, they selectively ignore any real evidence from scientific studies showing the damaging effects of fluoride.
Selective censorship of reality is, of course, the very foundation of modern dentistry — an industry that exists in such blatant denial of reality that it continues to implant some 34 metric tons of mercury — one of the most toxic substances to human and environmental health — into the mouths of dental patients each year. All while calling it perfectly safe, of course.
Mercury is perfectly safe, they all proclaim. And so is fluoride. And, come to think of it, there’s no such thing as any chemical too dangerous to put in the mouths or stomachs of patients as long as your dentist says so. And while we’re at it, don’t forget to have your wisdom teeth surgically removed — yet another medically useless procedure that’s been scientifically shown to be utterly worthless according to the British Medical Journal. I, for one, still have all my wisdom teeth, and nearly every time I see a new dentist, the idiot insists that I have them surgically removed even though they are entirely asymptomatic (i.e. nothing’s wrong with them).
All this explains why the fluoride question is such an effective sanity test. Anyone who genuinely supports the disposal of toxic fluoride chemicals via public waterways is not merely a fool and a danger to themselves; they are a danger to society and should probably be locked away in some sort of institution where crazy people can bang their heads against the walls until their mercury fillings fall out. There, at least, they won’t harm anybody else.
Fortunately, there are a growing number of sane dentists and doctors in the world. One of the leading organizations in this regard is the IAOMT. Watch their “Smoking Teeth” video if you want to learn the truth about mercury fillings, or read their Position on Fluoridation to hear what sane, intelligent dentists have concluded about mass fluoridation practices.
And if you still have mercury fillings in your mouth, get them removed by a dentist who specializes in mercury removal. Be sure to take plenty of chlorella and Jon Barron’s Metal Magic tincture before and after any such procedure to minimize the amount of fluoride that gets into your body during removal.
Finally, if your dentist continues to push fluoridation and mercury fillings (they call them “silver fillings” to hide the fact that they’re made with mercury), fire the idiot and find yourself a new dentist who runs a more natural health oriented practice. Natural dentistry is a growing practice. And it’s no mystery why. The American Dental Association, in my opinion, remains stuck in the Dark Ages. I can’t wait for the day when they finally reverse their support of fluoride and mercury and join the rest of the sane people in the world who have long since figured out that toxic chemicals do not belong in the human body.
This is not complicated, folks. I think that perhaps the only reason anyone still supports fluoride or mercury is because their brains have been affected by the chemicals.
And yes, by the way, it’s true that people who handle fluoride have to wear chemical suits, just as shown in this comic. If you drop a bottle of pure fluoride and inhale the fumes or get some on your skin, it can kill you

SISTEM KOLOID
PENGERTIAN KOLOID
Koloid adalah suatu bentuk campuran yang keadaannya antara larutan dan suspensi. Larutan memiliki sifat homogen dan stabil. Suspensi memiliki sifat heterogen dan labil. Sedangkan koloid memiliki sifat heterogen dan stabil. Koloid merupakan sistem heterogen, dimana suatu zat "didispersikan" ke dalam suatu media yang homogen. Ukuran zat yang didispersikan berkisar dari satu nanometer (nm) hingga satu mikrometer (µm).
perhatikan perbedaan tiga contoh campuran di bawah ini :
1. Campuran antara air dengan sirup.
2. Campyuran antara air dengan susu.
3. Campuran antara air dengan pasir.
Jika kita campurkan air dengan sirup maka sirup akan terdispersi (bercampur) dengan air secara homogen (bening) Jika didiamkan, campuran itu tidak memisah dan juga tidak dapat dipisahkan dengan penyaringan biasa maupun penyaringan yang lembut (penyaringan mikro). Secara makroskopis maupun mikroskopis mcampuran ini tampak homogen, tidak dapat dibedakan mana yang air dan mana yang sirup. Campuran seperti inilah yang disebut larutan.
Jika kita campurkan susu (misalnya, susu instan) dengan air, ternyata susu "larut" tetapi "larutan" itu tidak bening melainkan keruh. Jika didiamkan, campuran itu tidak memisah dan juga tidak dapat dipisahkan dengan penyaringan (hasil penyaringan tetap keruh). Secara makroskopis campuran ini tampak homogen. Akan tetapi, jika diamati dengan mikroskop ultra ternyata masih dapat dibedakan partikel-partikel lemak susu yang tersebar di dalam air. Campuran seperti inilah yang disebut koloid.
Jika kita campurkan air dengan pasir maka pasir akan terdispersi (bercampur) dengan air secara heterogen dan langsung memisah antara air dengan pasir, yang keadaannya pasir akan mengendap di dasar air dan dapat dipisahkan dengan penyaringan biasa, bahkan dapat dipisahkan dengan cara dituang perlahan-lahan. Secara makroskopis campuran ini sudah tampak hetrogen, dapat dibedakan mana yang air dan mana yang pasir. Campuran seperti inilah yang disebut suspensi.
Jadi, koloid tergolong campuran heterogen (dua fase) dan setabil. Zat yang didipersikan disebut fase terdispersi, sedangkan medium yang digunakan untuk mendispersikan zat disebut medium dispersi. Fase terdispersi bersifat diskontinu (terputus-putus), sedangkan medium dispersi bersifat kontinu. Pada campuran susu dengan air, fase terdispersi adalah lemak, sedangkan medium dispersinya adalah air.
Cara Kondensasi
Cara kondensasi termasuk cara kimia.
Partikel molekular ------> Partikel koloid
contoh :
Reaksi Redoks
2 H2S(g) + SO2(aq) ------> 3 S(s) + 2 H2O(l)
Reaksi Hidrolisis
FeCl3(aq) + 3 H2O(l) ------> Fe(OH)3(s) + 3 HCl(aq)
Reaksi Substitusi
2 H3AsO3(aq) + 3 H2 ------> S(g) As2S3(s) + 6 H2O(l)
Reaksi Penggaraman
Beberapa sol garam yang sukar larut seperti AgCl, AgBr, PbI2, BaSO4 dapat membentuk partikel koloid dengan pereaksi yang encer.
AgNO3(aq) (encer) + NaCl(aq) (encer) ------> AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq) (encer)
Cara Dispersi
Cara dispersi dapat dilakukan dengan cara mekanik atau cara fisika:
Partikel Besar ------> Partikel Koloid
Cara Mekanik
Cara ini dilakukan dari gumpalan partikel yang besar kemudian dihaluskan dengan cara penggerusan atau penggilingan.
Cara Busur Bredig
Cara ini digunakan untak membuat sol-sol logam.
Cara Peptisasi
Cara peptisasi adalah pembuatan koloid dari butir-butir kasar atau dari suatu endapan dengan bantuan suatu zat pemeptisasi (pemecah).
Contoh:
- Agar-agar dipeptisasi oleh air ; karet oleh bensin.
- Endapan NiS dipeptisasi oleh H2S ; endapan Al(OH)3 oleh AlCl3
Penyerapan pada permukaan ini disebut adsorbsi (harus dibedakan dari absorbsi yang artinya penyerapan sampai ke bawah permukaan).
Contoh :
(i) Koloid Fe(OH)3 bermuatan positif karena permukaannya menyerap ion H+.
(ii) Koloid As2S3 bermuatan negatit karena permukaannya menyerap ion S2.
Koagulasi dapat terjadi secara fisik seperti pemanasan, pendinginan dan pengadukan atau secara kimia seperti penambahan elektrolit, pencampuran koloid yang berbeda muatan.
Contoh: sol kanji, agar-agar, lem, cat
Contoh: sol belerang, sol emas.
Elektrotoresis dapat digunakan untuk mendeteksi muatan partikel koloid. Jika partikel koloid berkumpul di elektroda positif berarti koloid bermuatan negatif dan jika partikel koloid berkumpul di elektroda negatif berarti koloid bermuatan positif.
Prinsip elektroforesis digunakan untuk membersihkan asap dalam suatu industri dengan alat Cottrell.
Pada proses dialisis ini digunakan selaput semipermeabel.

Koagulasi adalah penggumpalan partikel koloid dan membentuk endapan. Dengan terjadinya koagulasi, berarti zat terdispersi tidak lagi membentuk koloid.Koagulasi dapat terjadi secara fisik seperti pemanasan, pendinginan dan pengadukan atau secara kimia seperti penambahan elektrolit, pencampuran koloid yang berbeda muatan.
Koloid Liofil dan Koloid Liofob
Koloid ini terjadi pada sol yaitu fase terdispersinya padatan dan medium pendispersinya cairan.Koloid Liofil:
sistem koloid yang affinitas fase terdispersinya besar terhadap medium pendispersinya.Contoh: sol kanji, agar-agar, lem, cat
Koloid Liofob:
sistem koloid yang affinitas fase terdispersinya kecil terhadap medium pendispersinya.Contoh: sol belerang, sol emas.

Komponen Larutan Penyangga
Secara umum, larutan penyangga digambarkan sebagai campuran yang terdiri dari:
- Asam lemah (HA) dan basa konjugasinya (ion A-), campuran ini menghasilkan larutan bersifat asam.
- Basa lemah (B) dan asam konjugasinya (BH+), campuran ini menghasilkan larutan bersifat basa.
Komponen larutan penyangga terbagi menjadi:
1. Larutan penyangga yang bersifat asam
Larutan ini mempertahankan pH pada daerah asam (pH < 7). Untuk mendapatkan larutan ini dapat dibuat dari asam lemah dan garamnya yang merupakan basa konjugasi dari asamnya. Adapun cara lainnya yaitu mencampurkan suatu asam lemah dengan suatu basa kuat dimana asam lemahnya dicampurkan dalam jumlah berlebih. Campuran akan menghasilkan garam yang mengandung basa konjugasi dari asam lemah yang bersangkutan. Pada umumnya basa kuat yang digunakan seperti natrium, kalium, barium, kalsium, dan lain-lain.
2. Larutan penyangga yang bersifat basa
Larutan ini mempertahankan pH pada daerah basa (pH > 7). Untuk mendapatkan larutan ini dapat dibuat dari basa lemah dan garam, yang garamnya berasal dari asam kuat. Adapun cara lainnya yaitu dengan mencampurkan suatu basa lemah dengan suatu asam kuat dimana basa lemahnya dicampurkan berlebih.
klik sini ===> animasi
Cara kerja larutan penyangga
Larutan penyangga mengandung komponen asam dan basa dengan asam dan basa konjugasinya, sehingga dapat mengikatbaik ion H+ maupun ion OH-. Sehingga penambahan sedikit asam kuat atau basa kuat tidak mengubah pH-nya secara signifikan. Berikut ini cara kerja larutan penyangga:1. Larutan penyangga asam
Adapun cara kerjanya dapat dilihat pada larutan penyangga yang mengandung CH3COOH dan CH3COO- yang mengalami kesetimbangan. Dengan proses sebagai berikut:
Pada penambahan asam Penambahan asam (H+) akan menggeser kesetimbangan ke kiri. Dimana ion H+ yang ditambahkan akan bereaksi dengan ion CH3COO- membentuk molekul CH3COOH.
Adapun cara kerjanya dapat dilihat pada larutan penyangga yang mengandung NH3 dan NH4+ yang mengalami kesetimbangan. Dengan proses sebagai berikut:
Pada penambahan asam Jika ditambahkan suatu asam, maka ion H+ dari asam akan mengikat ion OH-. Hal tersebut menyebabkan kesetimbangan bergeser ke kanan, sehingga konsentrasi ion OH- dapat dipertahankan. Disamping itu penambahan ini menyebabkan berkurangnya komponen basa (NH3), bukannya ion OH-. Asam yang ditambahkan bereaksi dengan basa NH3 membentuk ion NH4+.
Perhitungan pH Larutan Penyangga
Dapat digunakan tetapan ionisasi dalam menentukan konsentrasi ion H+ dalam suatu larutan dengan rumus berikut:
a = jumlah mol asam lemah g = jumlah mol basa konjugasi2. Larutan penyangga basa
Dapat digunakan tetapan ionisasi dalam menentukan konsentrasi ion H+ dalam suatu larutan dengan rumus berikut:
b = jumlah mol basa lemah g = jumlah mol asam konjugasi
Fungsi Larutan Penyangga
Adanya larutan penyangga ini dapat kita lihat dalam kehidupan sehari-hari seperti pada obat-obatan, fotografi, industri kulit dan zat warna. Selain aplikasi tersebut, terdapat fungsi penerapan konsep larutan penyangga ini dalam tubuh manusia seperti pada cairan tubuh. Cairan tubuh ini bisa dalam cairan intrasel maupun cairan ekstrasel. Dimana sistem penyangga utama dalam cairan intraselnya seperti H2PO4- dan HPO42- yang dapat bereaksi dengan suatu asam dan basa. Adapun sistem penyangga tersebut, dapat menjaga pH darah yang hampir konstan yaitu sekitar 7,4. Selain itu penerapan larutan penyangga ini dapat kita temui dalam kehidupan sehari-hari seperti pada obat tetes mata.klik sini ===> animasi

Designing the RockMelt Logo
Designing the RockMelt Logo
2011 March 2
Way back in 2009 we at DesignMap were working on a stealth project for a new web browser called RockMelt, now in public beta. Part of that project was the design of their logo, which went on and off over the span of two months. With other projects going on simultaneously and the amount of work that we put in for this project overall, the two months allotted for logo design ended up feeling like 2 weeks. We thought this would be a fairly simple project, but we hit plenty of brick walls, made some piles of crap, suffered moments of total despair, and eventually arrived at an “aha!” moment where everything came together. Come to think of it, I think I just described every design project I’ve ever worked on.
One note of caution: If you’re looking for a post about “how to execute the perfect logo design project,” this isn’t it. And, while I love when a project goes smoothly, I think we as designers grow the most when being presented with and overcoming challenges. And so, this post is about the challenging process of designing the RockMelt logo and the things we would do differently if we had it to do over again.
What’s that, a Rock-Melt you say?
It all began with a name that brought to mind a geological phenomenon and a fuzzy idea of a socially connected browser. I love the fuzzy zone — nothing but options — but I dread it for the same reason. Our attempt to clarify the “fuzz” began with an effort to find the relationship between the name and the product. We visualized its parts, the name’s combination of two elemental opposites, rock and melt (solid and liquid), and the product, a socially networked web browser.
This first step considered conceptual directions we might take. Do we go for a unique type treatment? Do we emphasize the letters R and M? Do we make an icon of a physical thing like a mountain, volcano, melting rock, cave structures or a molten sphere? Interestingly, nobody gravitated too heavily to the molten sphere that would eventually transform into the final logo. The three directions that were chosen are marked with green asterisks below: a mountain graphic that integrated the name (far left), the name sculpted from stone (top right) and an emphasis on the letters R and M.
Next we explored the three chosen directions further. This was a very short round of explorations that happened in about a day. Almost immediately, the decision to dig deeper into one particular variation (with green asterisk below) was made. At the time we at DesignMap and RockMelt felt like this variation had a lot of possibilities (and it did as you’ll see further in the post). Looking at it now, though, a literal mountain graphic feels like the user might receive a Clif bar and a ski pass with every download.
A mountain of exploration
In the beginning there was a vast valley of possibilities, but we had arrived at our mountain. Well, lots of mountains as you’ll see below. We explored color, shapes, introduced a flame image (feel free to chuckle), added detail, stripped detail and on and on. This became cycle of illustrating variations only to find that they became almost completely unrecognizable — sometimes even resembling a pile of crap — at desktop icon size. Not exactly what we were going for.
In our first set we worked in black and white so we could focus on the interacting shapes of the graphic. Was the mountain organic and realistic or geometric and abstract? How could we arrange the type in relation to the mountain? It was also at this point that we recognized the need to introduce the “melt” characteristic to the logo, so we tried various placements of drips. We introduced a flame to represent a source that causes the melt. This flame within the mountain was a direction that we pushed further on with, and at that point we believed it would in fact be the ultimate direction of the logo.
When we introduced color, we started to consider the logo as a desktop icon. This was the most challenging point in the project. We were straddling a line. On one side was the conceptual area where we were still making variations of a mountain and flame, and on the other side we were roughly visualizing how the logo would interact with its environment — a person’s desktop and toolbar.
Since we were cranking out a lot of variations in a short amount of time we worked primarily in vectors with plans to move to pixels the favorite variations became clear. Since the PC version of the browser was going to be in blue tones we went away from grey and blues as the base shape (the mountain) in favor of warm oranges and reds. Also, the warm colors felt like a nice expression of the “melt” characteristic.
As part of the quick variations, we created small and large versions side by side on a Windows-like blue background.
We then placed our favored logo variations on a desktop and a Windows XP toolbar. We wanted to assess what a triangular, mountain shape looked like in these environments, especially side-by-side with other popular browser icons. This is where things got a little tricky. We felt that the flame and mountain became hard to recognize as such and, in my opinion, sort of resembled a Star Trek logo. I did like that our shape didn’t follow the trend of round logos for web browsers, but unfortunately it wasn’t working.
However, we weren’t ready to give up on the mountain yet. In an effort to strengthen the mountain’s recognizability, we did some variations without the flame and made the mountain more organic and realistic. We settled on a common desktop icon size of 32 x 32 pixels and created a few Photoshop variations. This was the last of the mountain variations resulting in the infamous “piles of crap.”
Back to the drawing board
Circling back to the initial sketches we took a small step away from the mountain and decided to see what we could come up with for a mountain with molten lava spewing from it, a.k.a. a volcano. We had three volcanic directions — a dimensional volcano in a sphere, a dimensional volcano on a plane and a flattened volcano on a circular disc. We thought the problem with legibility was that the organic shape was too unusual to recognize by itself on an unpredictable desktop background, and we hoped that by placing it on a recognizable geometric shape, we would grant the mountain legibility.
At this point, instead of making many variations in Adobe Illustrator, we chose the volcano in a sphere. This time we rendered it almost immediately in Photoshop for two reasons: First, time was running out and the pressure to deliver was mounting. Second, this allowed us to quickly assess the problems with legibility that we were facing before.
We tested a transparent sphere and a sphere with a solid background on a range of colored desktop backgrounds. However, it was still hard to read specifically as a volcano in a sphere and we had hit another brick wall.
The big “Aha!”
At this point we were at our wits’ end. In addition to the scaling and recognizability issues there was another thing that was bugging us — our mountain and volcano directions were considering characteristics of the name, rock and melt, but the product as a social web browser was completely disregarded. The final solution wasn’t completely apparent even though the answer was staring us in the face back on the initial set of concept sketches. I don’t remember if we specifically revisited the initial concept sketches or if all of the work we had done up until that point somehow started to come together, but I do remember having a “eureka” moment as I imagined the logo one morning as I got ready for work. When I arrived at the office, I sat and roughly sketched up a new take on the “molten sphere” — this time combined with an iconic networked globe image — and shared it with the team. It was very well received and the marriage between rock, melt and a social web browser finally resonated! It scaled down perfectly, the colors worked beautifully and the RockMelt logo was born.
This is the condensed timeline of the RockMelt logo’s lineage. In top to bottom, left to right order are the first two concept sketches, the first Photoshop rendering and the final rendering done by Nate (Principal, DesignMap), which gave it an excellent realism and edge.
In hindsight, things I would do differently:
Time permitting, I would push the three directions (figure 1.2) further and do a lot more variations. In the additional variations I would look for more ways to convey the idea of a social web browser.
Additionally, I think the variations (figure 1.2) were still heavily weighted as conceptual ideas. In other words, the drawings were thinking of the concept or essence of the eventual logo without taking into account the eventual size and environment of the logo. That’s not to say that exploring concept at that point was a bad thing, but I think the project would have been more efficiently served if I had layered concept with considering the logo as a desktop icon.
During the mountain phase, we may have began too large (figure 1.4). If we had started small, 16×16 pixels or so, we would have been better able to work out what details form the illusion of a mountain at that size.
The volcano in a sphere (figure 1.9) and the flame in the mountain (figure 1.6) are both unique enough that they would likely require seeing them at a larger scale as a frame of reference to recognize them at a smaller scale. While it’s a good possibility that a user would see the larger version when downloading the browser we didn’t want to completely rely on that. (One could argue that the Firefox logo has a similar issue, but thats a subject for another blog post.)
In conclusion, if you plan on designing a logo that will be a desktop icon always think twice before settling on a mountain image. Also, no matter how simple a design project seems they always become a living, breathing thing that we as designers need to respond and adapt to. And, no matter how many times we as designers tackle projects of similarity they always tend to have unique qualities that challenge us in different ways.

One note of caution: If you’re looking for a post about “how to execute the perfect logo design project,” this isn’t it. And, while I love when a project goes smoothly, I think we as designers grow the most when being presented with and overcoming challenges. And so, this post is about the challenging process of designing the RockMelt logo and the things we would do differently if we had it to do over again.
What’s that, a Rock-Melt you say?
It all began with a name that brought to mind a geological phenomenon and a fuzzy idea of a socially connected browser. I love the fuzzy zone — nothing but options — but I dread it for the same reason. Our attempt to clarify the “fuzz” began with an effort to find the relationship between the name and the product. We visualized its parts, the name’s combination of two elemental opposites, rock and melt (solid and liquid), and the product, a socially networked web browser.
This first step considered conceptual directions we might take. Do we go for a unique type treatment? Do we emphasize the letters R and M? Do we make an icon of a physical thing like a mountain, volcano, melting rock, cave structures or a molten sphere? Interestingly, nobody gravitated too heavily to the molten sphere that would eventually transform into the final logo. The three directions that were chosen are marked with green asterisks below: a mountain graphic that integrated the name (far left), the name sculpted from stone (top right) and an emphasis on the letters R and M.
Next we explored the three chosen directions further. This was a very short round of explorations that happened in about a day. Almost immediately, the decision to dig deeper into one particular variation (with green asterisk below) was made. At the time we at DesignMap and RockMelt felt like this variation had a lot of possibilities (and it did as you’ll see further in the post). Looking at it now, though, a literal mountain graphic feels like the user might receive a Clif bar and a ski pass with every download.
A mountain of exploration
In the beginning there was a vast valley of possibilities, but we had arrived at our mountain. Well, lots of mountains as you’ll see below. We explored color, shapes, introduced a flame image (feel free to chuckle), added detail, stripped detail and on and on. This became cycle of illustrating variations only to find that they became almost completely unrecognizable — sometimes even resembling a pile of crap — at desktop icon size. Not exactly what we were going for.
In our first set we worked in black and white so we could focus on the interacting shapes of the graphic. Was the mountain organic and realistic or geometric and abstract? How could we arrange the type in relation to the mountain? It was also at this point that we recognized the need to introduce the “melt” characteristic to the logo, so we tried various placements of drips. We introduced a flame to represent a source that causes the melt. This flame within the mountain was a direction that we pushed further on with, and at that point we believed it would in fact be the ultimate direction of the logo.
When we introduced color, we started to consider the logo as a desktop icon. This was the most challenging point in the project. We were straddling a line. On one side was the conceptual area where we were still making variations of a mountain and flame, and on the other side we were roughly visualizing how the logo would interact with its environment — a person’s desktop and toolbar.
Since we were cranking out a lot of variations in a short amount of time we worked primarily in vectors with plans to move to pixels the favorite variations became clear. Since the PC version of the browser was going to be in blue tones we went away from grey and blues as the base shape (the mountain) in favor of warm oranges and reds. Also, the warm colors felt like a nice expression of the “melt” characteristic.
As part of the quick variations, we created small and large versions side by side on a Windows-like blue background.
We then placed our favored logo variations on a desktop and a Windows XP toolbar. We wanted to assess what a triangular, mountain shape looked like in these environments, especially side-by-side with other popular browser icons. This is where things got a little tricky. We felt that the flame and mountain became hard to recognize as such and, in my opinion, sort of resembled a Star Trek logo. I did like that our shape didn’t follow the trend of round logos for web browsers, but unfortunately it wasn’t working.
However, we weren’t ready to give up on the mountain yet. In an effort to strengthen the mountain’s recognizability, we did some variations without the flame and made the mountain more organic and realistic. We settled on a common desktop icon size of 32 x 32 pixels and created a few Photoshop variations. This was the last of the mountain variations resulting in the infamous “piles of crap.”
Back to the drawing board
Circling back to the initial sketches we took a small step away from the mountain and decided to see what we could come up with for a mountain with molten lava spewing from it, a.k.a. a volcano. We had three volcanic directions — a dimensional volcano in a sphere, a dimensional volcano on a plane and a flattened volcano on a circular disc. We thought the problem with legibility was that the organic shape was too unusual to recognize by itself on an unpredictable desktop background, and we hoped that by placing it on a recognizable geometric shape, we would grant the mountain legibility.
At this point, instead of making many variations in Adobe Illustrator, we chose the volcano in a sphere. This time we rendered it almost immediately in Photoshop for two reasons: First, time was running out and the pressure to deliver was mounting. Second, this allowed us to quickly assess the problems with legibility that we were facing before.
We tested a transparent sphere and a sphere with a solid background on a range of colored desktop backgrounds. However, it was still hard to read specifically as a volcano in a sphere and we had hit another brick wall.

Sistem Ekskresi (Sistem Pengeluaran) pada Manusia
Sistem Ekskresi (Sistem Pengeluaran) pada Manusia
Posted by adilsaz pada 17 Oktober 2009
Tubuh manusia merupakan tempat berlangsungnya berbagai proses metabolisme. Metabolisme adalah perubahan kimia, dengan bantuan enzim yang terjadi di dalam tubuh organisme.Proses metabolisme menghasilkan energi dan zat yang berguna bagi kehidupan . Selain itu, juga terbentuk zat sisa yang merupakan racun bila tetap berada di dalam tubuh. Oleh karena itu, zat sisa harus dikeluarkan dari tubuh melalui sistem ekskresi.Sistem ekskresi pada manusia dan Vertebrata terdiri atas ginjal, kulit, paru-paru dan hati.
A. Ginjal (Kidney)
Ginjal manusia berwarna merah kecoklat-coklatan, berbentuk seperti kacang merah, berukuran sebesar kepalan tangan, dan jumlahnya sepasang.Ginjal berfungsi untuk menyaring darah dan menghasilkan urine.
1. Bagian-bagian Ginjal
Bentuk ginjal yang sudah diiris membujur dapat dilihat pada gambar di bawah ini.
2. Proses pembentukan Urine
Urine terbentuk melalui serangkaian proses yaitu dimulai dari penyaringan (filtrasi), penyerapan kembali (reabsorpsi), dan pengeluaran zat (augmentasi).
3. Sistem Uriner
Urine dari rongga ginjal dialirkan melalui ureter menuju kandung kemih. Jika kandung kemih sudah cukup banyak mengandung urine, maka dinding kandung kemih menjadi tertekan sehingganya tekanan inilah yang menimbulkan rasa ingin buang air kecil. Selanjutnya, urine dikeluarkan melalui saluran pembuangan yang disebut uretra.

B. Kulit (Skin)
Kulit adalah lapisan jaringan yang terdapat di permukaan tubuh. Pada permukaan kulit terdapat kelenjar keringat yang mengekskresi zat-zat sisa. Zat-zat sisa yang dikeluarkan melalui pori-pori kulit berupa keringat yang tersusun dari air dan garam-garam mineral terutama garam dapur (NaCl) yang merupakan hasil metabolisme protein.1. Bagian-bagian Kulit
Kulit manusia tersusun dari tiga laisan, yaitu kulit ari (epidermis), kulit jangat (dermis), dan jaringan ikat bawah kulit (hipodermis)
2. Fungsi Kulit
Selain sebagai alat pengeluaran, fungsi kulit sebagai berikut :
a. Pengatur suhu tubuh.
b. Pelindung tubuh dari gangguan fisik berupa tekanan, gangguan biologis berupa jamur dan gangguan yang bersifat kimiawi.
c. Tempat penyimpanan kelebihan lemak.
d. Tempat pembentukan vitamin D dari provitamin D dengan bantuan sinar matahari.
e. Tempat indera peraba dan perasa.
C. Hati (Liver)
Hati merupakan kelenjar terbesar pada manusia, warnanya merah tua, dan massanya lebih kurang 2 kg. Hati terbagi dalam dua belahan utama, yaitu belahan kanan dan kiri.Hati berperan sebagai alat ekskresi sekaligus alat sekresi, karena hati menghasilkan cairan empedu yang berguna dalam proses pencernaan lemak.

2. Fungsi Hati
Selain sebagai alat pengeluaran, hati berfungsi sebagai berikut :
a. menyimpan gula dalam bentuk glikogen.
b. menawarkan racun.
c. mengubah provitamin A menjadi vitamin A.
d. mengatur kadar gula dalam darah.
e. membuat fibrinogen serta protombin.
f. tempat pembentukan urea
g. menghasilkan cairan empedu
D. Paru-paru
Selain sebagai alat pernafasan, paru-paru juga sebagai alat ekskresi yaitu mengeluarkan karbondioksida dan uap air.Paru-paru terletak dalam rongga dada dan bagian bawahnya menempel pada diafragma.
