Preliminary tests have found melamine in Cadbury's Chinese-made chocolates, the company says. The main concern lies in the milk solids.
Melamine is an organic base which is added to foods to increase their apparent protein content. In small doses, it will cause no apparent harm, but when combined with cyanuric acid and ingested (or combines while ingested) it will create fatal kidney stones.
Currently, there are recalls in Australia and there has been recorded deaths in China.

Purpose and persistence
Collect and carry
-------------------------------------
A small fragment of the night sky,
flickers irridescently
as it falls towards me
Motionless, it rests
on weather worn concrete,
not asking for a thing
As it reaches my pocket,
my gaze meets the sky
which shatters like snow before me
The new sky is dim, and the stars
now so far away - nothing
but the mournful chime of falling glass
I lean over to pick up the lost sky,
and in my pocket the old stars stay
---------------------------------------
The purpose of this blog is to provide a network or a surface in which people can meet to discuss difficulties and challenges of the HSC. Right now I'll be limiting the talk to the following subjects:
----------------------------
How will this help you?
I'm not guaranteeing that this will help you in any way. Please understand this. I will be making posts weekly, and maybe more often. Feel free to comment, provide suggestions and ask questions on topics posted.
Those who are willing to physically meet in an appropriate learning environment, where we can study together and collaborate can e-mail me or talk to me over MSN To arrange to do so: tinytim_502@hotmail.com
-----------------------------
The HSC isn't going to be quite as easy as I first imagined. A sneak peek into HSC chemistry (oh god) stuck a - I mean - made me realise just how much content needs to be covered, and to the depth in which our understanding much reach in order for us to succeed! My experience has showed me that it is much easier to find (oh the pitiful) mistakes in work that's not yours.
It is becoming more and more obvious that the amount of knowledge that is swelling my way will completely overwhelm me. And I will swim! Oh how much I hate swimming.

HSC CHEMISTRY
---------------------
The production of materials
Chemistry is great. Moderate intensity and a good balance between the application of knowledge and the maintenance of knowledge. Showing strong links to the year 11 course, my current standing with chemistry is GOOD.
To kick-start the HSC, Matrix offers a wonderful; intense bang-for-your-buck chemistry tutoring - if you can hold on to your head. Third day in on the course and my thoughts drift back and forth from the content to reality... Petroleum, separation of petroleum, long chain alkanes, thermal cracking, catalytic cracking, bonding, properties, uses, structure, ethylene, polyethylene, polypropylene, styrofoam, polymer, monomer you get the point.
WONDERFUL! All the information seems to stick like blocks of lego in your head, except for the occasional piece which slips away every now and then. Oh - wait a minute. If my head is spinning with chemistry now, and it's the only thing that's happening now then... you'll see when you get there.
Just one tip - do not fool yourself into thinking that you can drift through this without feeling the Rack stretch your every tendon.
