Seeing the sites of #Boron, California. Home of Borax, a substance used in soaps and cleaners.

#Earthquake (#sismo) M2.2 strikes 14 km SW of #Boron (#California) 2 min ago. More info: http://m.emsc.eu/?id=1543197

One of the best seasonal vegetables to introduce to your children as early as possible in their lives - well, as soon as they have teeth, as teeth are needed to strip the luscious flesh from the tough central stem.
Nutritionally rich in #potassium, #manganese, #calcium, #silicon, #boron, #iodine, and #vitC, this sea-baptised plant can be lightly boiled & served with butter or pickled for an intriguingly tangy treat.
**** Who can guess which plant I'm describing? ****

I used to use borax to clean the bathroom - it does a good job & leaves things smelling like nothing. For me, that's great since often my sense of smell is a bit too keen. But afterwards I would get tremor, so I switched to baking soda - which does almost as good a job. Boron causes reproductive harm in male rodents* & sale of borax is limited in some areas. It is sometimes used as firming agent in noodles & to make home made 'slime'.

Abandoned Place: Ruins of the Air Research Hydrogen Research station near Boron, California. This was part of the the USAF Project Suntan which was trying to develop the Lockheed CL-400, a Mach 3 hydrogen powered spy plane. The program was canceled in 1958 and the more conventional A-12 / SR-71was developed. In one shot you can see the rust rings of what was most likely hydrogen dewars #aviation #AvGeek #abandoned #abandonedplaces #ProjectSuntan #Boron #hydrogen @AbandonedAmerica

Passing storm and a Train Crossing late afternoon in the desert near Edwards Air Force Base and Boron, California. A passing storm can be seen to the right. Once you cross the tracks you are on the base and its bad news if you do not have a pass. Rocket Ridge (where yep they test rockets) can be seen in the background #landscape #photography #desert #boron #mojave #EdwardsAFB #blackandwhite

Can you completely ǝsɹǝʌǝɹ the
ʙᴏɴᴅɪɴɢ/ʙᴀᴄᴋ-ʙᴏɴᴅɪɴɢ pattern in complexes?
Can you make the metal make a σ dative bond to the ligand, and the ligand make a π dative bond to the metal?
Not easy. But now you (theoretically) can 🙃
