Alkali

In chemistry, an alkali is an aqueous (from water) solution with a pH value of more than 7.
The word 'Alkali' comes from the Arabic 'qali' meaning 'from the ashes' since ashes mixed with water used as cleaning products (such as soaps) are made of alkali materials.
An alkali is where a base is dissolved in water. Often it is the salt of an Alkali metal
An alkali is the opposite to an acid and can be neutralised (brought down to pH 7) by adding acid.
Characteristics
It feels soapy
It is corrosive (it can burn your skin away)
The higher the number is over 7 on the pH scale the stronger the alkali is.
Highly soluble (can be dissolved) in water
They have a bitter taste
Turns red litmus paper blue
Can conduct electricity due to the presence of mobile ions
Is blue or purple on universal indicator
Strength
Like acids, alkalis can be weak or strong, depending on the nature and the concentration of the ionic salt composing it. The strength of an alkali can be found using universal indicator. Also like acids, the strength of an alkali is rated using the pH scale.
For example, soap and toothpaste contain weak alkalis, while cleaning products often contain strong ones.
Examples of common Alkalis
Sodium hydroxide, NaOH
Potassium hydroxide, KOH
Calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2
Aqueous ammonia, NH3 (aq)
Magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)2
Uses of common Alkalis
Sodium hydroxide is used to make paper, detergents and soap.
Potassium hydroxide is used by farmers to make acidic soil more alkaline so that plants will grow better in it, and is also used as the electrolyte in alkaline, Ni-Cd, and Ni-MH batteries.
Calcium hydroxide is used to neutralize acidic soil.
Ammonium hydroxide is used as a cleaning agent.
Oxides and Hydroxides
Metal oxides and metal hydroxides are two types of base. When neutralised (an acid is added) they produce a salt and water. The type of salt produced depends on the acid and base.

Domain Name System

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a system used to convert a computer's host name into an IP address on the Internet. For example, if a computer needs to communicate with the web server example.net, your computer needs the IP address of the web server example.net. It is the job of the DNS to convert the host name to the IP address of the web server. It is sometimes called the Internet's telephone book because it converts a Website's name that people know to a number that the Internet actually uses.
The DNS is defined by Request for Comments (RFC) documents. These are technical documents about computer networks. The DNS is mainly defined by RFC 1034 and RFC 1035. There are later RFC which define changes to the system.
Structure
Domain names are made up of one or more parts, or labels that are joined and kept separate by dots, such as www.example.com.
The label on the right is the top-level domain or TLD. For example, the top-level domain of www.example.com is com.
The next one along is the subsection (or subdomain as is the proper word) of the TLD. In example.com this is example.
The furthest to the left is the www which is a subdomain of example. The www means the site is part of the World Wide Web (NOT the same as the Internet )
Each label can have 63 letters/numbers (characters) and a domain name cannot have more than 253 characters.
Lookup process
Let us imagine that a PC called PC1 needs to connect to a server named Server1. The following steps describe the basic DNS lookup process.
PC1 sends a DNS query to the DNS server. This query asks for the IP address of Server1.
The DNS server sends a DNS reply to PC1 that contains Server1'''s IP address.
PC1 can now send an IP packet to the IP address used by Server1''.

Roxana Druse

Roxalana "Roxana" Druse ( - February 28, 1887), was the last woman hanged in New York. She was the first woman hanged in 40 years in Central New York. Her execution didn't kill her instantly, and New York stopped using the gallows and started using the electric chair instead in 1890.
Mrs. Druse murdered her husband, William Druse, in their home in Warren, New York. She killed him by shooting him and decapitating him with an axe. Her son and daughter, George and Mary Druse, and nephew Frank Gates helped her kill her husband. Druse said that she killed her husband because he was abusive to her. She was sentenced to be hanged on February 28, 1887.
Murder of William Druse
On December 18, 1884, William Druse became a missing person. His family was Roxana Druse, his wife, Mary Druse, his 19 year old daughter, George Druse, his 10 year old son, and his 14 year old nephew Frank Gates.
Roxana said that she started to argue with William in the morning of the murder. Roxana took a revolver, and Mary put a rope around Williams neck while he was sitting at the breakfast table. Then, Roxana shot at William, but the revolver jammed. She told Frank to come inside, and gave the revolver to him, and told him to kill William or they would kill Frank. He shot William a few times, and Roxana took an axe and decapitated William.
She burned the rest of the body in the stove, and she said she would kill George and Frank if they confessed. She threw the ashes of Williams body in a pond, and the revolver and axe. On January 16, 1885, Frank confessed that they killed William. Roxana was arrested, and she also confessed. Druse said that she killed her husband because he was abusive to her.
Hanging
On October 6, 1885 Roxana was sentenced to be hanged on November 25, 1885, but later she was sentenced to be hanged on February 28, 1887.
Roxana Druse cried the whole day before she was hanged. Roxana Druse was hanged on February 28, 1887 at 11:48 a.m., and she was pronounced dead at 12:03 p.m. Physicians said that her neck wasn't broken, and she died of strangulation. New York stopped using the gallows 2 years later in 1890, and started using the electric chair. Many people think that Roxana was innocent, and she only confessed so that the murderer didn't get caught.

Adding salt to water lowers the freezing point of the water. The solubility of salt in water depends on temperature. At 15.5degC, a saturated solution of brine can hold 26.4 % salt by weight. At 0degC, it can hold 23.3% salt.
Brines also have some pharmaceutical properties, which can be used to treat people, especially those with diseases of the skin, allergies and common colds.
