Well, it's already on Bleue Plančte, but I'm not against sharing it. Actually, I was just wondering about a dynamic hydroshot league result page. :) Boy, that'd be useless! :) -- Jerome Darmont, mailto:darmont@multimania.com Webmaster http://fly.to/bleue.planete *************************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list send mail to majordomo@lists.ient.com with the line 'unsubscribe blue_planet' as the body of the message.

When we originally created it I had intended to tie fluctuations to the news listed on the site as well as things happening in our Red Sky playtest campaign. Several months later we decided it was fluctuating *too* much (and the degree of change was too large) and Jeff asked me to tone things down. At that point I changed from modifying it every week to every other week. I have been somewhat lax since the holidays in updating the site and I intend to remedy that. Sorry, Jim *************************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list send mail to majordomo@lists.ient.com with the line 'unsubscribe blue_planet' as the body of the message.

This laboratory once have been populated with scientists that worked on some kind of neuro virus. SOme day, this virus had spread out, and killed whole crew ... (i will write the complete adventure in engish i hope, and publish it, of course i will run it first for a couple of friends to playtest it, and to see if every plot makes sense, hard sf to the bone ;) ) but to the point because we cannot fight viruses now, we can only help our body to fight them, and in the air they are just some proteins (and this proteins seem dead) and i want this viruses to be dead when the players enter the base, i would like to ask if someone know how can one purify the air from viruses ? - how long (and if) can virus exist in normal air ? in vacuum ? in water ? - how can we destroy viruses in the air and in dead bodies ? (i know that extreme temperatures can do this, but i will not burn the whole base down) i will be very grateful if anyone could answer these questions ps. i would like to know , where on internet i could find info bout botany (in various climates), and climatology, and of course oceanology (pressure, decompression, visibility, etc) tnx and regards -------------------------------------- Bartek Bezulski beza@widzew.net, beza@gss.abis.lodz.pl -------------------------------------- *************************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list send mail to majordomo@lists.ient.com with the line 'unsubscribe blue_planet' as the body of the message.

You know that "Zovirax" stuff for coldsores? It's an antiviral cream. >and in the air they are just some proteins Ah. Don't forget the nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) - they're the important part. >- how long (and if) can virus exist in normal air ? in vacuum ? in water ? Again - it depends on the virus. Some last for a long time, others don't. >- how can we destroy viruses in the air and in dead bodies ? (i know that >extreme temperatures can do this, but i will not burn the whole base down) The only other surefire ways are either *strong* chemical treatment, or intense irradiation with ultraviolet radiation.
