today's mood: it's almost dark outside, you wear big white blouse and long skirt, the smell of fresh bread, long conversations about Renaissance art, drinking wine with your friends, making potions at the midnight and reading Byron and Shelley

Things That Remind Me of Various Slashers

Jason Voorhees - moss, decay, the grain of bones, lakes so still that they reflect the sky, poisonous berries, nature, campfire smoke, pressed flowers

Michael Myers - birthday cake, the smell of wet steel, jack-o-lanterns, motor oil, clean clothes, dirtied hands, rubbing alcohol, abandoned houses, petrichor

Freddy Kreuger - burning, christmas, sweet meat and brown sugar, melatonin, deja vu, the sound of industrial machines, fear

Bubba Sawyer - abandoned food stands on the side of the road, warm hugs, novelty aprons, the taste of blood in your mouth, rosemary, crooked smiles, fresh footsteps on wet soil, taste testing batter before baking it, family

Brahms Heelshire - gold dust, porcelain, freckles, hollow statues, hedge mazes, the smell of misty mornings, stairways to nowhere, lullabies, wool blankets, sandalwood

Billy Loomis - static on television sets, old vhs tapes labeled with duct tape and marker, corn syrup, when you hear your phone ringing but realize no one called, fairy lights, suburbs, the aftertaste of cigars on your tongue, urban legends

Household dust harbors forensic DNA info

Finding DNA in household dust could offer a way to help investigators get leads in difficult-to-solve criminal cases.

It’s possible to retrieve forensically relevant information from human DNA in household dust, a new study finds.

After sampling indoor dust from 13 households, researchers were able to detect DNA from household residents over 90% of the time, and DNA from non-occupants 50% of the time. The work could be a way to help investigators find leads in difficult cases.

Specifically, the researchers were able to obtain single nucleotide polymorphisms, or SNPs, from the dust samples. SNPs are sites within the genome that vary between individuals—corresponding to characteristics like eye color—that can give investigators a “snapshot” of the person.

“SNPs are just single sites in the genome that can provide forensically useful information on identity, ancestry, and physical characteristics—it’s the same information used by places like Ancestry.com—that can be done with tests that are widely available,” says Kelly Meiklejohn, assistant professor of forensic science and coordinator of the forensic sciences cluster at North Carolina State University and corresponding author of the study in the Journal of Forensic Sciences.

The full Dragon series!! Each creature from a different biome… I had a lot of fun coming up with the different types of dragons and imagining what it would be like for these warriors to face each one. The fire dragon being particularly destructive. The night dragon near impossible to see coming in the dark. The ice dragons the size of mountains. The river dragon’s keen eyes. The sand dragon’s deadly poison. The mist dragons forcing the battle into the sky. The water dragon hiding in the deep. The garden dragon is chill though. Good lad.
