<span style="color: #2d2d2d; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Days after the local council in Bournemouth, Dorset, took a homeless man’s sleeping bag away, he was found dead near a town hall. The 66-year-old man, only known as Kev, was found by his friend under a flyover in a car park. His friend told the media that just days earlier, folks from the Bournemouth Borough Council “removed his sleeping bag and possessions.” </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 1.56; margin-bottom: 9pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="color: #2d2d2d; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“I put my hand on him to shake him and that’s when I knew something was wrong and my heart sank,” said Kev’s friend. “A couple of weeks ago he said the council took his sleeping bag. They see it as rubbish but they don’t realise these are homeless people; sleeping bags are the stuff that keeps them warm.” </span></div>

<span style="color: #2d2d2d; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When speaking to the local press, the friends said that Kev never drank, used drugs, or “asked for anything.” Said Kev’s friend: “I commute through Bournemouth every day and he would sit on the wall at the corner of the road. That’s what made me pull over the first time – I stopped to ask him if he was okay and we got talking. I wondered, if I gave him some money, would it go on drugs and alcohol but to be honest he never did any of that, just smoked roll-ups. He never, ever asked for anything from me.” </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 1.56; margin-bottom: 9pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="color: #2d2d2d; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">As <a href="http://metro.co.uk/2018/01/23/homeless-man-died-days-council-took-sleeping-bag-away-7253293/?ito=tablet.article.share.top.facebook" target="_blank">Metro reports</a>, this isn’t the first time the Bournemouth Borough Council has come under fire for it’s “unconventional” methods. Previously, the council played bagpipe music to deter people from sleeping near the town’s bus and railway stations. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 1.56; margin-bottom: 9pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="color: #2d2d2d; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Said Councillor Robert Lawton, Cabinet Member for Housing: </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 1.56; margin-bottom: 9pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="color: #2d2d2d; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“We are very saddened to hear of the death of this gentleman. To be clear, we can confirm that the Council did not remove his bedding and belongings and we have been attempting to engage with him for the last 10 years. The St Mungo’s rough sleeper outreach team had been offering support to him on a regular basis.”</span></div>
<ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-7577596480215374" data-ad-format="fluid" data-ad-layout="in-article" data-ad-slot="7418658356" style="display: block; text-align: center;"></ins><div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 1.56; margin-bottom: 9pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="color: #2d2d2d; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> “However, for whatever reason, he felt unable to take up any of this support and regretfully turned down ongoing offers of help for his health and accommodation. Various agencies, including health services, the rough sleeper team and social care nonetheless continued to encourage him to access help and worked hard to try and keep him as safe as possible in these very difficult circumstances. Our thoughts are with those affected by this very sad news.” </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 1.56; margin-bottom: 9pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="color: #2d2d2d; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">According to Claire Matthews, the founder of local homeless charity founder Hope for Food, it is not unheard of for the council to take sleeping bags away from the homeless. Their reasoning? To “clean the streets.” Matthews added that Kev visited their soup kitchen about four times a week. Reportedly, he was popular with the volunteers. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 1.56; margin-bottom: 9pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="color: #2d2d2d; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 13pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Said Matthews: “We give out sleeping bags to homeless people and we’ve been told by some of them the council has removed them to clean up the streets. More needs to be done to help these people.” What are your thoughts? </span></div>

Though it wasn’t possible for scientists to tell us exactly what had caused this bear to starve to death, we do know that he didn’t have any visible wounds and that he was not an old bear. Many of you have asked whether we could have saved this individual bear, but the hard truth is that he was on his last legs and his muscles had atrophied beyond repair. It would also have been illegal to feed him, to approach him, or to do anything to ease his pain. However, there is hope for the remaining polar bears if we want it.

But the thing is is that all bodies look different. Nobody's booty looks round and peachy from all angles. Nobody's body looks the same from all angles. Don't eat less or miss out on your favorite meals/drinks or over exercise to "look good for a holiday" or to "look good in bikini photos" because there will always be angles that are "unflattering" that might make you feel bad when you see them. Instead workout and eat healthy because it makes you feel good, not as a punishment. Start loving and accepting your body at all angles with all your "flaws", instead of trying to fit into societies image of 'beauty' because that image isn't inclusive of all individuals, which is so messed up. Don't hate yourself just because of bad photos, they do not define you as a person. You look the best when you're living life to the fullest and happiest. There's no point in missing out on things and stressing yourself out so much. Life isn't meant to be a competition on who can look the best and we should normalize not having to "look perfect" all the time because it's a ridiculous concept. You are perfect the way you are 🌴☀️ ------------------------------------------ . . . #instagramvsreallife #beforeandafter #lawofattraction #bodypositive #bekindtoyourself #lifeisgreat #dowhatyoulove #veganbooty #youareenough #progressnotperfection #bodyimage #vegansofig #girlswhoworkout #selflove #youarebeautiful #veganfitness #loa #fitnessjourney #bopo #bodyacceptance #bodyconfidence #effyourbeautystandards #bepresent #justbe #moderation #balanceddiet #staypositive #thinkpositive</a></div>

I'd always suck it in and wear high waisted jeans while trying to hold that posture when I noticed people were looking at me 🙈 but you know what?! Who cares! We all have fat, it's perfectly normal and okay! We need that fat layer on our tummies to protect our vital internal organs. You can still be fit/healthy and have fat! It's an absolutely normal thing that you should not be ashamed of! So next time you sit down and see that protective layer, thank it for saving you from not dying 😬 But in all seriousness, you don't need a "flat tummy" to be beautiful, you don't need to waste your energy sucking in your tummy! Humans come in all different shapes and sizes and regardless of that you are beautiful. It's your body, do whatever makes you happy and comfortable, if that means wearing high waisted jeans, then wear high waisted jeans! Don't let anyone tell you what you should and shouldn't wear or do to make your body "better". Because you're beautiful and unique the way you are now!! I hope you guys have a lovely Friday and an amazing weekend, I'll be flying on a plane to Finland tonight! ❄️🌲 Sports bra from: @movebytwenty3</a></div>

I'm not gonna name anyone because I don't want anyone to come at me, but I see tons of people do this. I know people always talk about this and I know there's nothing I can do to change it. All I want is for people to know not to ever feel bad about their body when looking at someone else. I used to feel this way and always wanted a more curvy waist like you see all over social media now a days. But it's silly to want that. It takes 30 seconds for me to photoshop this image on the right on a free app, but it can take someone a lifetime hating their body and wishing they had what all these photoshopped bodies look like. Please don't wish you had someone else's body. Love the body YOU have because there's nothing wrong with it. There's no point in wasting time wanting to look like someone else because the reality is that everyone is different and you will never have the same body as someone else. Start embracing everything you used to feel bad about. The beauty industry strives off our insecurities, and only shows so few body types, please don't let this make you hate yourself. Because being you and having confidence is what makes you beautiful, not what some beauty magazine portrays as beautiful. I hope you all have an absolutely amazing day, you deserve it! 🌴☀️ PS: excuse the clothing choice, I was feeling cute while trying on bikini bottoms while packing 😂 ------------------------------------------ . . . #photoshop #lawofattraction #bodypositivity #bodyshape #lifeisgreat #dowhatyoulove #bootybuilding #beautytips #beautyaddict #progressnotperfection #bodyimage #sweatwithkayla #bikinibody #vegansofig #girlswholift #girlswithmuscle #weightlifting #selflove #youarebeautiful #fitnessmotivation #screwthescale #weightlossjourney #beyou #beconfident #selfconfidence #embraceyourself #manifest #flaws #confidence</a></div>

Disgusting.</span></div>

And once all that's left is the insect's empty shell, the assassin bug attaches those exoskeletons to its back using a sticky secretion, piling them high to create a thick layer of protective armor that also serves to confuse its enemies.</span></div>

In </span><a href="http://www.readcube.com/articles/10.1111%2Fj.1469-7998.2007.00335.x?r3_referer=wol&tracking_action=preview_click&show_checkout=1" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><span style="background-color: white; color: #0099ff; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">the study</span></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, they left assassin bugs alone in glass cages with several species of jumping spiders, which are their natural predators. Some of the insects were carrying balls of ant carcasses on their backs (the researchers called these “masked” bugs) while others were left naked. Since the jumping spiders have excellent vision but a poor sense of smell—they hunt by using their acute sense of sight to make a precisely gauged leap and land on their prey—the experiment would indicate if the ant bodies served as visual camouflage or not.</span></div>

The researchers even repeated the experiment with dead, preserved assassin bugs, to control for the effects of movement and behavior, and the results remained the same. Carrying that ball of dead ants, it turns out, is a great strategy for the assassin bug to use in trying to survive for its next meal.</span></div>

Lawrence. He was commissioned by the Chicago & Alton Railway to shoot the world’s largest photo of one of its trains — a photo measuring 8 feet by 4.5 feet. The camera weighed 900 pounds, required 15 men to move and operate, and cost a whopping $5,000 — enough money back then to buy a large house. </span></div>

The ability of these different fish to produce electricity is a nice example of convergent evolution — the independent development of similar adaptations in unrelated species. </span></div>

<!-- adsense --><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">Octopuses only live a few years and have no contact with their parents, so they have to learn fast and teach themselves. They are the most intelligent invertebrate organisms, and studies have shown that they can solve mazes and be taught to unscrew jar lids. The nervous system of an octopus is quite decentralised: two-thirds of its neurons are in the tentacles, allowing them to behave semi-independently. The veined octopus will pick up coconut shells and use them to build a protective shelter. This makes it the only invertebrate to use tools. Octopuses also engage in play, catching and releasing objects caught in circular currents.</span><br />

Studies indicate that octopus arms each have their own independent nervous system [source: </span><a href="http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/02/0209_050209_octopus.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Mayell</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">]. It turns out the brain may simply delegate orders, while the arm is responsible for deciding exactly how to execute the order. Essentially this means that the brain can give a quick assignment to the arm and then not have to think about it anymore. Scientists tested this by severing the nerves in the arms from other nerves in the body and brain and then tickling the arms. Amazingly, the arms responded to the tickling just as they would in a healthy octopus [source: </span><a href="http://science.howstuffworks.com/octopus7#Pickrell.htm" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Pickrell</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">].</span><br />

Having hidden there since the museum closed the night before, he now set out to get his loot: the Mona Lisa. Unnoticed, he took the painting off the wall, hid it under his smock, and quietly left through the main entrance. Although the museum was closed on Mondays, and the maintenance staff had noticed an empty space on the wall, they didn't suspect anything. They thought the painting had been removed by one of the museum's photographers.</span></div>

Police set up checkpoints on roads leaving Paris, and the Louvre was closed. Many guards and senior employees were fired;just one year earlier, the director had promised that the Mona Lisa was safe, that it was as impossible to steal the painting as to run off with Notre Dame’s bell tower. But now the masterpiece was gone, and nobody knew who had </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">absconded with it.</span></div>

Like mourners at a funeral, people came from all over to place flowers on the floor of the room where the portrait had hung. After the initial shock passed, "Mona Lisa" became a character in cabarets, plays and songs. Postcards with photos of the painting leaving Paris with da Vinci were popular, while the police struggled to find the guilty party.</span></div>

At the same time, the reward for recovering the painting was constantly increasing. And yet a breakthrough in the investigation didn’t come. Two years after the theft, the Louvre had more or less accepted that the Mona Lisa</span></div>

As a good patriot, the sender said, he wanted to bring it back to his and da Vinci’s Italian homeland — at the cost of only 500,000 lira. Geri and Giovanni Poggi, the director of Florence's Uffizi Gallery, met with the man, who brought a suitcase. Hidden under the ragged clothes and worn-out shoes, in a</span></div>

Because the floor is rough and spiky, it prefers not to swim along the bottom like a flounder - instead it has evolved pectoral fins that work like legs to ‘walk’ along the seabed. It doesn't use its dorsal fin for swimming either; this has evolved into a spiny projection with a retractable ‘fishing rod’, which it uses to lure in small fish and shrimp. </span></div>

Immediately after hatching, the larvae burrow their way into the roach's belly. They then use their host as both food source and cradle. </span></div>

Research published by Dr Herzner and her team earlier this year shows the wasp has developed an ingenious solution to its insanitary surroundings - it spews a cocktail of antibacterial chemicals from its mouth.</span></div>

They are very long. Females grow at about 45cm and males only 5 cm. Despite their creepy familiar looks to the Chestburster Alien creature, they do not feed on humans. They just eat other fishes.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></div>

Other ants then extract nourishment from them. They function essentially as living larders. Honeypot ants belong to any of five genera, including Myrmecocystus. They were first discovered in 1881 by Henry C. McCook.</span></div>

The young ants stay in the nest, and the worker ants who collect honey, feed them. As they feed more honey than they need, the surplus honey gets stored in their abdomen. As their abdomen expand, the ants lose their mobility.</span></div>

A number of rats become intertwined at the tails, and are joined with blood, dirt, and excrement. Consequently, the animals grow together, joined at the tails, which are often broken. The phenomenon is particularly associated with Germany, where the majority of instances have been located.</span></div>

Nevertheless, there were occasional findings of dead and subsequently mummified rat kings. The museum Mauritianum in Altenburg (Thuringia) shows the largest well-known mummified "rat king", which was found in 1828 in the fire-place of a miller in Buchheim. It consists of 32 rats. Alcohol-preserved rat kings may be viewed in museums in Hamburg, Hameln, Goettingen and Stuttgart. Altogether, the number of well-known finds of rat kings is small. Depending upon source, it varies between 35 and 50 finds.</span></div>

Such events also occurred, since rat kings arise only if too many rats exist and are according to little place for new buildings. With an increase in the size of the rat population comes an increase of the chance of outbreak of disease, for example the Black Death, which is spread by rat fleas.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></div>

Weird! The pink handfish, as it is called, is a part of the handfish family, and is last seen in 1999. It is now one of the newly named species of the handfishes, among nine others. This very odd fish doesn’t swim, and that explains why it’s located at the bottom of the ocean. It uses its “hands” that are supposed to be fins, to walk around. Tasmania, an Australian island, is the place where the nine fishes have been found, to be completely precise, around the city of Hobart</span><span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span></div>

The little pink creature is only 4 inch large (10 cm), and the scientists don’t know that much about its behavior because it has been poorly studied.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.5; white-space: pre-wrap;">Pufferfish are generally believed to be the second most poisonous vertebrates in the world, after the golden poison frog. Certain internal organs, such as liver, and sometimes the skin, are highly toxic to most animals when eaten; nevertheless, the meat of some species is considered a delicacy in Japan (known as fugu), when prepared by chefs who know which part is safe to eat and in what quantity.</span></div>

There are a lot of misconceptions and truths out there and we have taken it upon ourselves to make you aware of them. First things first though, we do feel it is appropriate to provide a disclaimer since we are talking about a very sensitive subject here.</span></div>

The most controversial of Ivanov's studies was his attempt to create a human-ape hybrid. In 1910, he had given a presentation to the World Congress of Zoologists in Graz in which he described the possibility of obtaining such a hybrid through artificial insemination.</span></div>

According to a report published in The Scotsman newspaper on 20 December 2005, Stalin is said to have told Ivanov, ‘I want a new invincible human being, insensitive to pain, resistant and indifferent about the quality of food they eat.’ in 1925, Ivanov got the support of the Soviet government with a US$10,000 allocated to the Academy of Sciences for Ivanov's human-ape hybridization experiments in Africa.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>

But that doesn't mean there's no brain boost. Marco Tulio de Mello from Brazil’s Federal University of Sao Paulo has discovered that weight training also affects the brain, albeit in a different way than cardiovascular exercise.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b id="docs-internal-guid-40ff91c8-9a52-11c8-c0e6-506039eca518" style="font-weight: normal;"><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></b></div>

Subsequently, when the rats were tasked with finding their way through a water maze, both groups performed equally well and much better than the control subjects that hadn’t done the physical training. For the rats, strength training was just as beneficial as cardio.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></b></div>

The probiotics are available in supplements and food. The human digestive system is home to more than 500 different types of bacteria. They help keep the intestines healthy and assist in digesting food. They are also believed to help the immune system.</span></div>

For instance, it is now known that certain bacteria in the gut influence the development of aspects of the immune system, such as correcting deficiencies and increasing the numbers of certain T cells. Nowadays, because the immune system isn’t being properly challenged by pathogenic organisms, introducing friendly bacteria in the form of probiotics is believed to challenge the immune system in healthy ways.”</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">These stones can flash every color of the spectrum with a brilliance that can even surpass that of diamond. Precious opal ranges from clear through white, gray, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, magenta, rose, pink, slate, olive, brown, and black. Of these hues, the reds against black are the most rare, whereas white and greens are the most common. </span></div>
<br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Some rare specimens produce brilliant color flashes when turned in the light. For instance, a new Opal was discovered in the Welo district of Ethiopia recently, that took the gem world by storm. Found in the Welo Amhara Regional State Highland plateau 2.500 – 3.200 meters above sea level, this new gemstone looks like a miniature underwater scene from the ocean when held against the light. Opals such as the Welo Opal can can command prices per carat that rival the most expensive diamonds, rubies and emeralds.</span><br />

Okay, it might not look like your phone or your tablet, but inside there’s much of the same hardware. It runs on the Android OS, has an ARM CPU, 1GB RAM, 16GB ROM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a five-megapixel camera capable of recording 720p video, a screen (albeit 640x360) and a micro USB socket for charging. So far, so familiar? What’s very different about Glass is that the screen gives you a viewing experience equivalent to a 25-inch screen from eight feet away and audio is delivered using bone conduction straight to your head. Glass uses a customised user interface optimised for use either by voice or using a touchpad built in to the right arm of the glasses.</span></div>

So that’s the technology that’s inside, what is it like to use? The $1500 Google Glass arrives in a very smart box containing the Glass itself, a set of clear snap-on lenses, a set of polarised-tinted</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">

Setting up Glass is actually very easy either via the MyGlass app for Android or the Google Glass website. In the app or on the website you are prompted to sign in to your Google account and enter the Wi-Fi credentials for your location. A QR-code (2D barcode) is then displayed on screen. Simply turn on Glass by holding down the power button, put it on and when prompted on the display ‘look’ at the QR-code on your screen. Glass sees it, reads the information, connects to your Wi-Fi and sets itself up. If you are using the MyGlass app on the phone you can also pair via Bluetooth, enabling data connectivity on Glass when out and about (as well as using Glass as a Bluetooth headset). It’s all very easy to use.</span></div>

Glass isn’t always awake and the display isn’t on all the time – either tapping a finger on the touchpad or tilting your head to a predefined angle wakes it. At this point saying ‘Okay Glass’ launches voice control where you can activate individual tasks on the device. Again, the same functionality can be achieved with finger swipes on the arm.</span></div>

With that said, even without looking like you are talking to yourself, as a brand-new technology, Glass takes a certain level of confidence to wear it out in public. People will look at you strangely, stare, ask you questions, ask to try your glasses on and generally wonder at this technology upon your head. It’s very exciting stuff.</span></div>

The interior of this pouch is lined with soft tissue; once the male fertilises the eggs with his sperm, the pouch serves as an incubator. Gestation can take anywhere from 10 to 45 days, depénding on the species, and during this time the female may pay periodic visits to the male.</span></div>

Once the juveniles are in the water, the male’s fatherly instinct ends and they must fend for themselves.</span><br />

It might be bizarre & unbelievable but it is true, since the phenomenon have been reported in many countries throughout history.</span></div>

The hypothesis is that strong winds traveling over water sometimes pick up creatures such as fish or frogs, and carry them for up to several miles. However, this primary aspect of the phenomenon has never been witnessed or scientifically tested.</span></div>

Under this theory, waterspouts or tornados transport animals to relatively high altitudes, carrying them over large distances. The winds are capable of carrying the animals over a relatively wide area and allow them to fall in a concentrated fashion in a localized area. </span></div>

Most of the time, victims will rarely notice as the bats only consume about a tablespoon of blood per sitting; this said, they are often accused of spreading rabies. </span></div>

For one thing they have special thermoreceptors on their noses, which - via infrared radiation — enable them to pinpoint where blood flows closest to the prey's skin, while an anticoagulant in their saliva stops blood clotting before they've had their fill. Vampires are also unusual within the bat family for their ability to walk, climb and even hop along the ground — ideal for stealthily approaching slumbering victims. </span></div>

This tiger shark will soon grow into one of the ocean’s deadliest predators. Even in the womb, its sharp teeth are clearly visible and just as intimidating—they even allow it to eat its unborn siblings if it feels the urge to do so. This shark species is responsible for deaths nearly every year, but most of them are avoidable.</span></div>

Here you can see it is warm down, that will protect this soon to be born chick from the bitterly cold environment. For now though it is happily floating in its egg fluid protected by set of down which, as you can see, has already developed inside the egg. Attached to the belly is the last of the egg yoke.</span></div>

At this stage the small fetus looks more like a tadpole and you can see the frills that are the start of its gill covers. Once born its immediate prey will be fish but eventually with more maturity this tiny shark will be able to grab seabirds from the tropical surfaces.</span></div>

Still, these brothers already sport their tiny claws and warm insulating fur. While it looks like these two fetuses are sharing some sibling love, siblingrivalry is inevitable and will only escalate after birth.</span></div>

Growth of fungus, <em>Paecilomyces cicadae</em>, <strong>Elma Kearney</strong>This ascomycetous fungus is an endoparasite of underground cicada nymphs. Infection begins when ingested spores germinate and invade the nymph, inhibiting protein synthesis (by cordycepin) and replacing internal organs with mycelia. At maturity, the fungal fruiting bodies (stromata) grow from the killed host and produce white spores.</div>

This overheating method is also used to kill large predatory wasps that enter the hive in search of food and may be used against a foreign queen attempting to take over an existing colony. Balling is often a problem for beekeepers attempting to introduce a replacement queen.</span></div>

Supersedure may be initiated due to old age of a queen or a diseased or failing queen. As the queen ages her pheromone output diminishes.</span></div>

The young larva floats on the royal jelly. The worker bees then build a larger queen cell from the normal sized worker cell and it protrudes vertically from the face of the brood comb. Emergency queens are usually smaller and less prolific, and therefore not preferred by beekeepers.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #585858; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">This hand-coloured scanning electron micrograph is the winner of The EMBO Journal Cover Contest 2012. The image shows the surface of a mosquito egg (from Culex pipiens), which generates a water repellent network by connecting microscopically small structures to trap a thin layer of air. The vitally important structures avoid immersion and enable the egg to float and aggregate with neighbouring eggs.</span><br />

The Belgian Blue has sculpted, heavily muscled appearance. The reason of such Extreme muscle development is not the result of genetic modification but a mutation in one of the breed’s genes which products what is known as double-muscling. </span></div><!-- adsense -->

While it s an exaggeration, the truth is certainly that in efforts to perfect the breed very few male genetic lines are allowed to continue.</span></div>

Many of the cattle develop cardio-respiratory ailments. In almost all modern herds, Caesarean sections are common due to complications in pregnancy, and in some cases C-section rates have climbed to nearly 90% of all births!</span></div>

Even stranger, the body was wrapped in sheepskin, which was considered unclean by ancient Egyptians. When he finally opened the coffin, Maspero found himself even more shocked. he found this screaming, undead face looking back at him.</span></div>

It was a spine-tingling sight, and one that posed even more troubling questions: here was a mummy, carefully preserved, yet caught in the moment of death in apparently excruciating pain. </span></div>

Mummies with their mouths agape or lips pulled back as if they are screaming or writhing in pain are truly startling. Two of the most famous--designated Unknown Woman A and Unknown Man E. Such mummies, however, are found not just in Egypt </span>but worldwide, in Palermo, Sicily, Guanajuato, Mexico, and in Peru. Some of these bodies were purposefully preserved, though by various methods, while others are natural or, you might say, accidental mummies.</div>

Before climbing out onto land, these fish fill their over-sized gill chambers with water, creating an oxygen tank that allows them to breathe out of water. On land, these fish also moisten their gills periodically by wiping them with their fins. To get additional air, mudskippers can also breathe through their blood capillary-rich skin, and blood-rich membranes in the back of the mouth and throat. They often keep their tails in water and roll in puddles to keep their skin moist.</span></div>

In fact, Mudskippers’ fins have adapted so they can walk, jump, swim, and climb. these fish also use their fins to move around in a series of skips. They can also flip their muscular body to catapult themselves up to 2 feet into the air.</span></div>

The males become more vibrantly colored and do incredible acrobatics, including pushups, launching themselves into mid-air flips as high as two feet ( 60 cm) off the ground, and even standing on their tails. They also raise their dorsal fins, looking like tiny angry dinosaurs, to ward off competing males. If the warning doesn't work, then they fight.</span></div>

Either the eggs hatch while the mosquito is feeding and the larvae use the mosquito bite area as the entry point, or the eggs simply drop off the muscoid fly when it lands on the skin. The larvae develop inside the subcutaneous layers, and after approximately eight weeks, they drop out to pupate for at least a week, typically in the soil. The adults are small gray flies resembling a blowfly, but easily recognized because they lack mouthparts.</span></div>

These particular insect larva have many adaptations to remaining into the skin. First and foremost there are the backward facing spines on the body. These anchor the stout body into place as it feeds. Also most of the body mass is below the narrow breathing tube which allows for the natural constriction of its hole to keep it in the host. Another more peculiar adaptation is under some debate, it appears the Bot Fly larva produces some sort of antibiotic that helps to keep the wound bacteria as it feeds.</span></div>

Hemoglobin has iron in it, which gives off a reddish hue. (Think of rust.) Horseshoe crabs use a copper-based molecule called hemocyanin to distribute oxygen. In nature, copper turns things blue or blue-green. So that’s why their blood is blue; it’s copper-based.</span></div>

In other words, this stuff’s ideal for detecting impurities. And humans use it to do just that, in products like pharmaceutical drugs. If the cells clot, that means those products have been contaminated by "negative" bacteria, a very useful alarm system. All of a sudden, horseshoe crab blood became valuable (one quart is worth more than $10,000). </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">Discovered in 2013, the Great Basin Bristlecone Pines, or Pinus Longaeva, announced the Oldest Tree in the World. The tree is an astounding 5,062 years old and still living. Not yet been named, the tree was discovered in the higher mountains of the southwest United States. Bristlecone pines grow in isolated groves in the arid mountain regions of six western states of America, but the oldest are found in the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest in the White Mountains of California. with a remarkable ability to survive the in extemely harsh and challenging environment, the Bristlecone pines are believed to be some of oldest living organisms in the world, with lifespans excesseding the 5,000 yeras.</span></div>

In fact the wood’s extreme durability plays a big role in the tree’s longevity. While other trees suffer rot, Pines Longaeva can endure, even after death, still standing on their roots, for many centuries. Rather than rot, exposed wood, on living and dead trees, erodes like stone due to wind, rain, and freezing, which creates unusual forms and shapes.</span></div>

Adults can grow up to 6.5 inches (16.7 cm) long and have incredibly strong jaws that can snap wooden pencils in half, so just imagine what they could do to your fingers. Luckily, these scary-looking bugs are quite harmless to humans.</span></b></div>

It lives unobtrusively deep in some of the South America’s hottest tropical rain forests and only ventures out when seeking out mates. The larvae of this amazing insect have never been found, but judging by the large boreholes found in dead trees in their natural habitat, scientists believe Titan beetle grubs feed on decaying wood below ground for several years before reaching maturity. The size of these holes suggests the grubs are around two inches in diameter and up to a foot long. Just like the Atlas Moth, the Titan beetle doesn’t feed during its adult life cycle, using the reserves gathered in its pupa stage to fly around long enough to find a mate. Because they mostly sit around waiting for males to seek them out and fertilize their eggs, females have rarely been spotted.</span></div>

They defend themselves by hissing in warning and using their large jaws to bite attackers. It also has very strong legs equipped with sharp claws that can literally tear through flesh. Titans never attack unprovoked, but must be handled with care as they can do some serious damage.</span></div>

There is an entire eco-tourism industry based on the Titan beetle, which provides sightseeing tours of the insect in its habitat, and the selling of specimens, which can cost up to $500. The largest recorded Titanus giganteus measured 16.7 centimeters, more than some adult Chihuahuas, and was collected by entomologist Patrick Bleuzen in French Guyana.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #5b6265; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.35; white-space: pre-wrap;">Mindfulness is a deliberate way of paying attention in a particular way without judgement, so if distressing thoughts flow in then they are accepted but not allowed to incur a negative performance spiral downwards. This changes the focus away from being in a 'doing-state' towards more of a 'being-state'. Psychology knows that to be in this state is conducive towards slowing down time, developing personal growth strengths, improving relationships with loved ones and peers and enhancing your behaviour and attitude due to managing limiting thoughts and deep emotional states towards your actions.</span></div>

It can be practiced anywhere and at anytime by focusing upon the breath or other bodily sensations. If thoughts cross the mind they are not judged and dealt with then but can be accepted and postponed to another non mindful time. Once the thoughts are parked then the subject returns to the object of focus. There is no special equipment or places required in which to practice.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">Sachatamia ilex occurs in Colombia, Nicaragua, Panama, Costa Rica, and Ecuador. It is found mainly in the foothills of the Central and Talamanca Mountain ranges, as well as in a few locations on the northern Pacific slopes, at elevations up to 1420 m above sea level. It inhabits primary and secondary wet forests, and is found on large low-lying leaves, often in the spray zone of waterfalls or streams.</span></div>

During the daytime it sleeps on the top surface of exposed leaves. It is able to vary the intensity of its green coloration to match the substrate on which it is resting. Males call from the upper side of leaves, usually with the head facing the tip of the leaf. The call consists of a single high-pitched "click", repeated after intervals of several minutes. Females deposit black eggs on upper leaf surfaces overhanging a stream. </span></div>

Its skull alone was six feet long. Based on skull and bone measurements and comparisons with modern crocs, it grew to between 37 and 40 feet and weighed up to 17,500 pounds. Growth lines in cross sections of the two rows of 35 armored plates along its-neck, back and tail put its minimum life span at 50 to 60 years. </span></div>

His condition deteriorated and he was declared dead several hours later. The doctors noted that he had very low blood pressure, hypothermia, respiratory failure and numerous digestive problems. His sister identified the body and made arrangements for his burial.</span></div>

She was stunned. This was a name that only she and a few family members knew.</span></div>

The media went crazy over the story and Dr Lamarck Douyon, director of the Psychiatric Institute in Port-au-Prince, made up his mind to test whether this zombie tale could possibly be true. Extensive psychiatric tests proved that the man really was the brother.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

So he contacted then the Harvard ethnobotanist Edmun Wade Davis – currently the explorer in residence at National Geographic – to investigate what it was that these zombie masters were actually doing.</span></div>

The victims soon appear dead, with an incredibly slow breath, and an incredibly slow and faint heartbeat. In Haiti, people are buried very soon after death, because the heat and the lack of refrigeration makes the bodies decay very rapidly. You have to dig them up within eight hours of the burial, or else they'll die of asphyxiation.</span></div>

The zombie masters told Davis that they then had to beat the zombie to drive off its old spirit, tie it to a crucifix, feed it a paste made from made from datura (Jimsons Weed), which will break their links with reality and then baptise it with a zombie name. Davis realised that after this ordeal, victims were so mentally damaged that they would do whatever they were told. And while they were not the undead, they might as well have been.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">The best current candidate for life are the super-Earths: planets similar to, but much larger than ours. With thick atmospheres and high temperatures, conditions on a super-Earth will be very strange, and it's likely the planet will be very tectonically active, but it might have a magentic field to protect life from radiation.</span><br /><b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></b>

The mantle consists of a thick layer of ice, which is only formed under high pressure. According to astrophysicists, an inner rock mantle is located beneath the thick ice cap. The mantle probably generates a protective magnetic field.</span></div>

A mother typically produces one or two eggs and keeps them warm by holding them between her body and her tail. The eggs hatch in about ten days, but platypus infants are the size of lima beans and totally helpless. Females nurse their young for three to four months until the babies can swim on their own</span></div>

They scoop up insects and larvae, shellfish, and worms in their bill along with bits of gravel and mud from the bottom. All this material is stored in cheek pouches and, at the surface, mashed for consumption. Platypuses do not have teeth, so the bits of gravel help them to "chew" their meal.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana"; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;">The difference between successful people and unsuccessful people isn’t how often they fail; it is how many times they try. Successful people fail just as often, if not more, then everyone else. The difference is that they keep picking themselves up again and again, try new things and at last find something that works.</span></div>

Einstein did not speak until he was four and did not read until he was seven, causing his teachers and parents to think he was mentally handicapped, slow and anti-social. Eventually, he was expelled from school and was refused admittance to the Zurich Polytechnic School. It might have taken him a bit longer, but most people would agree that he caught on pretty well in the end, winning the Nobel Prize and changing the face of modern physics.</span></div>

However, if it has eaten something extremely nasty, such as a poisonous insect, there is a much more drastic option it may pursue. The frog may actually throw up its entire stomach. The total stomach vomiting mechanism in toads has the same result as emptying a bag by pushing its bottom up through the top. The stomach literally turns inside out, and dangles from the toad’s mouth.</span></div>

To be sure this has occurred, the toad has a secondary reflex associated with stomach vomiting. This reflex causes it to reach up with its right arm and stroke the inverted lining of its stomach several times, thus cleaning it off manually. This ensures that all remnants of the toxic meal are gone.</span></div>

This is because the way the stomach is connected to the toad’s intestines causes it to have a shorter membrane on one side. The membrane causes the stomach to always hangs out the right side of the toad’s mouth. In other words, the toad has to use his right arm, because the left arm will be too short to reach over and do the .</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">“Faith” was born on Christmas Eve in the year 2002. He was born with 3 legs - 2 healthy hind legs and 1 abnormal front leg which need to be amputated. He of course could not walk when he was born. Even his mother did not want him.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"> </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">His first owner also did not think that he can survive. Therefore, he was thinking of 'putting him to sleep'. </span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"><br />By this time, his present owner, Jude Stringfellow, met him and wanted to take care of him.<br /><br />She is determined to teach and train this dog to walk by himself. Therefore she named him 'Faith'<br /><br />Amazingly, only after 6 months, like a miracle, Faith learned to balance on his 2 hind legs and jumped to move forward. After further training in the snow, he now can walk like a human being. </span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>

No matter where he goes, he just attracts all the people around him. He is now becoming famous on the international scene. He has appeared in various newspapers and TV shows. There is even one book entitled 'With a little faith' being published about him. He was even considered to appear in one of the Harry Potter movies.</span><br />

Well initially this might look to you like any normal girl being treated by a doctor,the girl in the photo is not any normal living girl but the mummy of a 15 year old child who has been dead for about 500 years.<br />
<br />
She was found in 1999 near Llullaillaco's 6739 meter summit. An Argentine-Peruvian expedition found the perfectly preserved body and she wa<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">s nicknamed "La doncella" which means “The maiden”. According to the Inca she was chosen to go and live with the gods. But in reality she was a sacrifice to the Inca.</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><br />Scientists say that her organs are intact and its as if she had died just a few weeks ago. From testing the samples of her hair they could determine the type of diet she was on before her death.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Hugging someone also releases oxytocin, which is also known as the feel-good hormone.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Scientists recently unearthed a vampire grave in Bulgaria — does this mean that vampires really exist?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Vampires don't exist, but in the past, myths about bloodsucking ghosts were common. Throughout the world, archaeologists have found graves containing humans who were believed to be vampires. One of the most recent discoveries was made in Bulgaria during the excavation of</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"> a church in Sozopol near the Black Sea, where scientists found two skeletons around 700 years old with iron rods through their chests.<br /><br />The belief in vampires originated long before modern times. The earliest known account of vampire like creatures is 4,000 years old and stems from Mesopotamia. About 500 years ago, the belief in vampires swept across Eastern Europe, spreading to Western Europe at a later point in time.</span></div>

The larva is laid as an egg in the soft interior ofthe ladybug, where it can grow without beng disturbed by its natural predators. After some 20 days, the larva breaks out ofthe ladybug's body and spins a cocoonbetween the beet|e's legs.This nearly paralyzes the ladybug so that it can barely move and has no choice but to protect the pupa—stage wasp with its body.</span></div>

The larva benefits from its host's life up to the very last minute:The living ladybug occasionally jerks, which is likely enough movement to keep the |arva’s enemies at bay. When the larva is ready to leave the pupa, it releases its host, which — to the scientists‘ surprise — sometimes has sufficient energy to resume its pre-occupation life; this phenomenon was observed in 25 percent of cases.</span></div>

It is also the first to show a direct connection between Arc NPY, the sympathetic nervous system and the control of energy expenditure,” said Herzog. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: FR;">The researchers found that NPY – produced in a particular region of the brain called the arcuate nucleus (Arc) of the hypothalamus – inhibits the activation of ‘brown fat,’ one of the primary tissues where the body generates heat.</span></div>

High levels of NPY signal to the body that it is in ‘starvation mode’ and should try to replenish and conserve as much energy as possible. As a result, the body reduces processes that are not absolutely necessary for survival,” he said.</span></div>

So in evolutionary terms, the body had mechanisms in place only to prevent weight loss, he said.</span></div>

bees</span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">, known colloquially as "<b>killer bees</b>," are some hybrid varieties of the Western honey bee species, (<i>Apis mellifera</i>), produced originally by cross-breeding of the African honey bee, with various European honey bees such as the Italian bee and the Iberian. The hybrid bees are far more defensive than any of the various European subspecies. Small swarms of Africanized bees are capable of taking over European honey bee hives by invading the hive and establishing their own queen after killing the European queen. </span> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In 1956, some colonies of African Honey Bees were imported into Brazil, with the idea of cross-breeding them with local populations of Honey Bees to increase honey production. In 1957, twenty-six African queens, along with swarms of European worker bees, escaped from an experimental apiary about l00 miles south of Sao Paulo. These African bee escapees have since formed hybrid populations with European Honey Bees, both feral and from commercial hives. They have gradually spread northward through South America, Central America, and eastern Mexico, progressing some 100 to 200 miles per year. In 1990, Killer Bees reached southern Texas, appeared in Arizona in 1993, and found their way to California in 1995. They are expected to form colonies in parts of the southern United States.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Why Killer Bees are dangerous? </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The sting of the Africanized Honey Bee is no more potent than your garden variety honey bee and they look pretty much the same. What makes AHBs more dangerous is that they are more easily provoked, quick to swarm, attack in greater numbers, and pursue their victims for greater distances.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">AHB colonies can be very large, and they are not particularly selective about the location of their hives. The Queen Africanized bee can lay up to 1,500 eggs a day.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">the American Medical Association has said that seven bee stings per pound can be lethal. Don't forget, however, that people react to bee stings differently. There is one documented case of a man who survived over 2,000 bee stings. There are others who are very sensitive or allergic to bee stings and would certainly not fare that well. Pets are also vulnerable. So far, there have been less than 5 human deaths and a handful of animal deaths in Arizona attributed to Africanized Honey Bees.</span></div></div>World of Knowledgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06809535996025558058noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338208912276337395.post-8527694646265277142012-10-30T09:47:00.000-04:002013-07-20T09:32:26.434-04:00Scientists Develop a Powerful New Adhesive Inspired by Gecko’s Feet<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp-SHefIh1f5Y2G79Bda86sy7oDxWhvI3Ea235zVL7RaK-Ckx06A61sxdABHOc7B4nGNrBbNPLewAsIskTij4lVC8X1KbSh-hpXuSIOnlFuM2rhsMV_6GQ_cTIfvdFDnGyDZIQIrlqQC-T/s1600/Gecko%E2%80%99s+Feet.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp-SHefIh1f5Y2G79Bda86sy7oDxWhvI3Ea235zVL7RaK-Ckx06A61sxdABHOc7B4nGNrBbNPLewAsIskTij4lVC8X1KbSh-hpXuSIOnlFuM2rhsMV_6GQ_cTIfvdFDnGyDZIQIrlqQC-T/s1600/Gecko%E2%80%99s+Feet.JPG" class="opacity"></a></div><div style="background: white; line-height: 21.0pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 12.0pt;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">For years, scientists have been amazed by gecko feet, which let these lizards produce an extremely powerful adhesive force. Now, Duncan Irschick, Biology, and Alfred Crosby, Polymer Science and Engineering, have discovered exactly how the gecko does it, leading them to invent "Geckskin," a device that can hold 700 pounds on a smooth wall.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 21pt; margin: 12pt 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">Crosby, Irschick, doctoral candidate Michael Bartlett, and colleagues received international scientific and media attention over the past several weeks for their discovery reported in the journal<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><em>Advanced Materials,</em>of how gecko feet and skin produce an adhesive force roughly equivalent to the 5-ounce animal carrying nine pounds up a wall without slipping. This led them to invent "Geckskin," a device that can hold 700 pounds on a smooth wall. Irschick, a functional morphologist who has studied the gecko's climbing and clinging abilities for over 20 years, says the lizards are equally at home on vertical, slanted and even backward-tilting surfaces.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 21pt; margin: 12pt 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">Geckos easily disengage their grip without leaving any residue on a surface, a highly sought-after quality that the polymer scientists on the team were able to retain in Geckskin. Guided by new understanding of interacting elements including tendons, bones and skin in the gecko foot, they made an integrated adhesive with a soft pad woven into a stiff fabric, Crosby explains, which allows the pad to "drape" over a surface, maximizing contact. Geckskin uses inexpensive materials such as polydimethylsiloxane woven into a synthetic tendon that maintains stiffness and rotational freedom.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 21pt; margin: 12pt 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">Geckskin's combination of bearing heavy loads and being reusable/reversible in dry (not sticky) adhesion offers rich possibilities for new applications such in everyday life as well as in medicine and industry.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 21pt; margin: 12pt 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">The key innovation was to create an integrated adhesive with a soft pad woven into a stiff fabric, which allows the pad to "drape" over a surface to maximize contact. Further, as in natural gecko feet, the skin is woven into a synthetic "tendon," yielding a design that plays a key role in maintaining stiffness and rotational freedom, the researchers explain.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 21pt; margin: 12pt 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">Importantly, the Geckskin’s adhesive pad uses simple everyday materials such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), which holds promise for developing an inexpensive, strong and durable dry adhesive.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; line-height: 21pt; margin: 12pt 0cm;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;">The UMass Amherst researchers are continuing to improve their Geckskin design by drawing on lessons from the evolution of gecko feet, which show remarkable variation in anatomy. "Our design for Geckskin shows the true integrative power of evolution for inspiring synthetic design that can ultimately aid humans in many ways," says Irschick.<o:p></o:p></span></div></div>World of Knowledgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06809535996025558058noreply@blogger.com0
