Submerged in plexiglas"This bromide project was the first commercially successful attempt to mine the sea for a chemical other than salt. It provided experience of saltwater processing which was invaluable in the second modern seawater project--the extraction of the metal magnesium.
In 1939 magnesium was a comparatively expensive metal that was made only in modest amounts. It was the strange, inflammable metal that the photographer burned in his flashbulbs. But magnesium came into its own during the war. It could be made into alloys with strengths comparable with that of steel. Yet magnesium is less than a quarter of the weight of steel.
Magnesium was needed urgently and in large amounts for making incendiary bombs and as a contructional metal for aircraft. Once again chemists used seawater as their raw material; every cubic mile of seawater contains four million tons of magnesium.
With the experience of bromine extraction to help a huge magnesium factory was built on the shore at Freeport in Texas. The first ingot of magnesium from the sea was cast there on January 21, 1941.
Every day 300 milion gallons of seawater were pumped through the factory, the magnesium being extracted with the help of lime dredged from oyster-shell deposits in a near-by bay. Like the bromine factory, the magnesium factory was built on a tongue-shaped promontory, so that water could be discharged where it would not again be drawn through the extraction plant" (The World of Water 54-55).
Sex: The Brain Below the Belt : "Female sexual turn-on begins, ironically, with a brain turn-off. The impulses can rush. to the pleasure centers and trigger and orgasm only if the amygdala--the fear and anxiety center of the brain--has been deactivated. Before the amygdala has been turned off, any last-minute worry--about work, about the kids, about schedules, about getting dinner on the table--can interrupt the march toward orgasm.

...For a woman, the neurochemical stars need to align. Most important, she needs to trust who she is with" (Brizendine 77-80).

How heavy. The weight of water.
"Entrainment is a means of enhancing particular synchronous patterns, occurring when a system is influenced to oscillate at a given frequency based on rhythmic stimulation at similar or related frequencies (Canolty & Knight, 2010; Thut et al., 2011). Although still awaiting empirical verification, there are several reasons to believe that sexual rhythms are likely to entrain synchronous brain oscillations."

"Mg is the fourth most abundant mineral and the second most abundant intracellular divalent cation. It acts as a cofactor for more than 300 metabolic reactions, such as ATP production [49,50,51], protein synthesis, DNA/RNA synthesis [52], and mitochondrial function maintenance [53,54]. As a natural calcium (Ca) antagonist, Mg also participates in the regulation of Ca homeostasis. Mg has been reported to play critical roles in heart rhythm [55,56,57,58], muscle contraction [59,60,61], blood pressure [15,16,62], insulin/glucose metabolism [63,64], and bone integrity [65,66,67]."
