July 9: Atom
An atom is the smallest particle that comprises a chemical element. An atom consists of an electron cloud that surrounds a dense nucleus. This nucleus contains positively charged protons and electrically neutral neutrons, whereas the surrounding cloud is made up of negatively charged electrons. When the number of protons in the nucleus equals the number of electrons, the atom is electrically neutral; otherwise it is an ion and has a net positive or negative charge. An atom is classified according to its number of protons and neutrons: the number of protons determines the chemical element and the number of neutrons determines the isotope of that element. The concept of the atom as an indivisible component of matter was first proposed by early Indian and Greek philosophers. In the 17th and 18th centuries, chemists provided a physical basis for this idea by showing that certain substances could not be further broken down by chemical methods. During the late 19th and the early 20th centuries, physicists discovered subatomic components and structure inside the atom, thereby demonstrating that the 'atom' was not indivisible. The principles of quantum mechanics were used to successfully model the atom. More than 99.9% of an atom's mass is concentrated in the nucleus, with protons and neutrons having about equal mass. In atoms with too many or too few neutrons relative to the number of protons, the nucleus is unstable and subject to radioactive decay. (more...)
Stanley Street, Liverpool
Stanley Street, in Liverpool City Centre, is the main focus and hub of Liverpool's gay scene, and is at the heart of Liverpool's Gay Quarter. Liverpool's Gay Quarter also encompasses Cumberland Street, Victoria St and Eberle St. Stanley St runs south between Dale Street and Whitechapel, with the cluster of gay venues found between Dale St and Victoria Street. In June 2008, Liverpool City Council launched a public consultation on the partial pedestrianisation of Stanley Street, with a view to enhancing the night time leisure experience of the Gay Quarter (see Liverpool Echo 26th June 2008 The council proposes to ban traffic in Stanley Street, Cumberland Street and Eberle Street after 6pm with the use of automatic hydraulic bollards at strategic locations. Should there be a successful outcome of the consultation, the partial pedestrianisation would be in place later in 2008. Liverpool's gay scene has grown considerably over the last few years, and could be attributed to the city's status as European Capital of Culture 2008. With council plans to pedestrianise the area at night, Liverpool's Gay Quarter is very much up-and-coming.
Some of the gay/gay friendly venues in and around Stanley Street in Liverpool's Gay Quarter include:-
