Thank you my Brazilian friend for your nice words, I really appreciate them.
I’m very good, and I finished exams last Sunday.
And thank you for giving me the link for the website.
And may God bless you and you family.
Peace from a country which needs peace. :)

Sweat gets a bad rap for being smelly when, in fact, it’s not your fault. Your body’s smell is caused by bacteria. Sweat or perspiration is almost pure water, with dissolved materials such as salt making up less than 1 percent of its total composition. Sweat is actually colorless and odorless. The odor produced when sweat accumulates is due to the action of bacteria on it.
Certain sweat glands, active only from puberty onward and larger than ordinary sweat glands, are concentrated near the reproductive organs and in the axillae (armpits). These glands secrete an odorless sweat that contains substances that are easily broken down by skin bacteria. The breakdown products are responsible for the characteristic “human body odor.” So the next time someone tells you your sweat stinks, you can say, “I beg to differ. My bacteria is the culprit.”
The “ceruminous glands” are classified as modified sweat glands and are found in the ear canal. These glands produce a yellow waxy substance called cerumen(ear wax).
