Back n' TOP 10 Species 2011-2012


 TOP 10...new species!!


A sneezing monkey, a blue tarantula, and an extinct walking cactus are just three of the remarkable new species listed in the annual Top Ten New Species put together by the International Institute for Species Exploration at Arizona State University. This year's list includes a wide-variety of life forms from fungi to flower and invertebrate to primate.

"The top 10 is intended to bring attention to the biodiversity crisis and the unsung species explorers and museums who continue a 250-year tradition of discovering and describing the millions of kinds of plants, animals and microbes with whom we share this planet," explains Quentin Wheeler, an entomologist who directs the International Institute for Species Exploration.
 
 Top Ten New Species

1. This mysterious primate (seen here in a reconstruction) not only made headlines last year, but continues to do so as a population of the believed to be Critically Endangered species was recently found in China. The new monkey, the Myanmar snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus strykeri), was discovered byway of a carcass killed by a local hunter. Since then camera trap photos and video have been taken of the species. They are reportedly easy to hunt as locals say their up-turned noses cause them to sneeze in the rain. Researchers believe only a few hundred survive.

   2.This new jellyfish was named by high school teacher Lisa Peck for what she believed divers must say when they first see the beautiful animal . It is also called the Bonaire banded box jelly because it was spotted near the island of Bonaire in the Caribbean. The new jellyfish is venomous.

 3.Hell has a new member: Halicephalobus mephisto. This super tiny (0.5 millimeter) nematode was discovered nearly a mile (1.3 kilometers) beneath the Earth's surface in a South African gold mine. Named after Mephistopheles, the demon character in Faust, the species has adapted to incredible underground pressures and had not had contact with the atmosphere for up to 6,000 years. This is a photo of the face of the nematode taken under scanning          
                                                             electron microscope.


 

 4.This is the world's only known night-blooming orchid. Discovered in Papua New Guinea, this orchid open from 10 PM to early morning. It is named Bulbophyllum nocturnum, which means "at night".






 


 5.This tiny wasp dive bombs ants from above, laying its eggs on the unsuspecting ants in less than 1/20 of a second even though the ants are giants to it. Named, Kollasmosoma sentum, it was discovered in Madrid, Spain.





 6.Named after the popular kids cartoon character this fungi is called the SpongBob Squarepants mushroom (Spongiforma squarepantsii). Discovered in Malaysian Borneo, this mushroom resembles the sea sponge and when squeezed will spring back to its original form.




 7.If you want to picture this species in real life: think of a sausage. Named the "wandering leg sausage" (Crurifarcimen vagans), this is now the world's largest millipede. Discovered in the species-rich Eastern Arc Mountains of Tanzania the new millipede is 16 centimeters (over six inches) long.





8.Belonging to an extinct group of little-known animals called the Lobopodia, this fossil species was given the name walking cactus (Diania cactiformis) for its resemblance to imagined trotting cacti. Discovered in China, the species was alive during the Cambrian, an incredible 520 million years ago.






 9.Amazingly this is the first new species from Brazil to make this list. Sazima's tarantula (Pterinopelma sazimai), which is stunningly blue, is found on a single flattop mountain in the mega-biodiverse country.







 

 10.This high-living poppy probably went unnoticed by scientists for so long because it lives above 3,290 meters (10,800 feet) in the wilds of Nepal. It is named Meconopsis autumnalis, because it flowers in the autumn.







 HAROLD N. 


  Two new species of frog have been discovered in fast-disappearing forests in the Philippines, boosting hopes for the survival of the country’s rich but threatened wildlife.The new discoveries are a mottled brown frog with red eyes and a broad yellow stripe running down its back, and a yellow-green one not much bigger than a human thumb. discovered the frogs in Leyte island’s Nacolod mountain. Their dwindling habitat also harbored 62 other reptiles and amphibian species, 36 mammal species, 112 bird species, and 229 plant species.

2nd Page of " Mystery of BERMUDA TRIANGLE "

The 2ND Page of  " Mystery of BERMUDA TRIANGLE "

Among Questions of this mystery Sea Fields Namely Bermuda Triangle are linkage of among bloggers in my site @ gmail.com & gmail reader... i finally research and browses among books about this Story all about. Let see and read my simple blogs that i have done. 


HOW BERMUDA TRIANGLE Works?

  The Bermuda Triangle is located off the Southeastern coast of the United States in the Atlantic Ocean, with its apexes in the vicinities of Bermuda, Miami, Florida, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. It covers roughly 500,000 square miles.You won't find it on any official map and you won't know when you cross the line, but according to some people, the Bermuda Triangle is a very real place where dozen of ships, planes and people have disappeared with no good explanation. Since a magazine first coined the phrase "Bermuda Triangle" in 1964, the mystery has continued to attract attention. When you dig deeper into most cases, though, they're much less mysterious. Either they were never in the area to begin with, they were actually found, or there's a reasonable explanation for their disappearance.Does this mean there's nothing to the claims of so many who have had odd experiences in the Bermuda Triangle? Not necessarily. Scientists have documented deviations from the norm in the area and have found some interesting formations on the seafloor within the Bermuda Triangle's boundaries. So, for those who like to believe in it, there is plenty fuel for the fire.Many think of the Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, as an "imaginary" area. The U. S. Board of Geographic Names does not recognize the Bermuda Triangle and does not maintain an official file on it. However, within this imaginary area, many real vessels and the people aboard them have seemingly disappeared without explanation.

Well-known Disappearances>>>>

 Many Bermuda Triangle Web sites include long lists of missing ships and planes. But many of those were nowhere near the Triangle when they disappeared or they turned up later with rational explanations for their disappearances. For example, the Mary Celeste, found floating in 1872 with not a person on board and everything exactly as they had left it, is on nearly every list of losses blamed on the Bermuda Triangle. But in reality, it was many hundreds of miles from the TRIANGLE AT THIS TIME .          

                                                                               

The U.S.S. Cyclops, 1918.....

During World War I, the U.S.S. Cyclops served along the eastern coast of the United States until January 9, 1918. At that time, she was assigned to the Naval Overseas Transportation Service. The Cyclops was scheduled to sail to Brazil to refuel British ships in the south Atlantic. She set out from Rio de Janeiro on February 16, and, after a brief stop in Barbados from March 3 to 4, was never seen or heard from again. All 306 passengers and crew were gone without a trace.

 

U.S. Navy Avengers Flight 19, 1945......

 

       The most famous Bermuda Triangle story is the mystery surrounding five missing Navy Avengers in 1945. The story of Flight 19 is usually summarized this way: a routine patrol set out on a sunny day with five highly experienced student pilots. Suddenly, the tower began receiving transmissions from the flight leader that they were lost, compasses were not working, and "everything looked wrong." They were never seen again, and extensive Navy investigations turned up no clues to explain the disappearance.

 

How did BERMUDA TRIANGLE get it's name??

 The first use of the term was in a 1964 article about seemingly unusual disappearances in the area that was published in 'Argosy' by Vincent Gaddis called 'The Deadly Bermuda Triangle'.

Then in 1974, two books were published, 'The Bermuda Triangle' by Charles Berlits and 'The Devil's Triangle' by Richard Winer. These books turned out to be very popular and the idea caught on, making this an excellent subject to sell books and magazines. These two books were the source for the popular terms.

 The Bermuda Triangle is a invisible triangle in the Atlantic Ocean. The three points are Florida, Puerto Rico and the island Bermuda. The Bermuda Triangle got its name from the five military planes that flew in the triangle coming from Florida, to Puerto Rico, Bermuda and then back to Florida. The planes never made it to the Bermuda island. The reported their compasses went wacky and they said that the sky and ocean merged and their was no horizon. This is what made the area infamous.

 

BERMUDA TRIANGLE AND IT'S TREASURES!!!!!



Stories of Survivers......

Some people were able to miraculously survive the Bermuda Triangle and told people of what they saw. Most of the stories involve their instruments failing, lost electricity, and a state similar to vertigo. Some even saw UFOs appear out of the water or diving into the water. Similar reports have been in the Dragon's Triangle which is in the Pacific Ocean. Both triangles are the only two places on the Earth that the real and magnetic poles are the same.

 

 Atlantis and Wormholes.....?

 The most common report is the horizon disappearing which the captain or the pilot loses sense of direction. This could be part of the reason why so many people disappear in the Bermuda Triangle. Some people even see fireballs and go in wormholes. These wormholes by themselves scare a lot of people and what happens if you got stuck in the wormhole? Some psychics say that they feel Atlantis is in the Bermuda Triangle and the crystals are broken. The crystals is what is causing a lot of those problems. The psychics say its random and it requires daylight for the crystals to work and create chaos. The Bermuda Triangle will continue to me a great mystery.

Bermuda Triangle Mystery Solved.....

 Computer studies of ocean floors around the world, particularly the area known as The Bermuda Triangle, reveal evidence of massive methane explosions in the past. For years, believers in the paranormal, aliens, and other outlandish theories pointed to the the disappearance of ships and aircraft as an indicator of mysterious forces at work in the “Devil’s triangle.” Scientists have finally pointed the rest of us to a more plausible cause.The presence of methane hydrates indicates enormous eruptions of methane bubbles that would swamp a ship, and projected high into the air- take out flying airplanes, as well.Any ships caught within the methane mega-bubble immediately lose all buoyancy and sink to the bottom of the ocean. If the bubbles are big enough and possess a high enough density they can also knock aircraft out of the sky with little or no warning. Aircraft falling victim to these methane bubbles will lose their engines-perhaps igniting the methane surrounding them-and immediately lose their lift as well, ending their flights by diving into the ocean and swiftly plummeting.

Craziest Facts About your Body

 Craziest Facts About your Body

1)Your Hand Can Have A Mind On Its Own!

 The ‘idle hand’ which referred to as the ‘Alien Hand Syndrome’ is an unusual neurological disorder in which the sufferer’s hand seems to take on a mind of its own. This is due to the damage in the medial motor frontal region of the brain and often occurs after a brain surgery, a stroke or an infection of the brain.
The sufferer has no control over the movements of the ‘alien hand’ nor will they have any conscience idea on what that hand is doing. The person suffering from this condition can often feel disconnected with their hand, and feel as if it was not part of their body.
When the suffer is unaware the alien hand can sometime act out complex movements like unbuttoning clothing, using tools or even tearing pieces of clothing. There are no know treatments or cure for ‘Alien Hand Syndrome’ however the best solution is to give this alien hand an object it can play with to keep it distracted from doing anything harmful to the sufferer.




 2)You Could Remove A Large Part of Your Internal Organs and Survive!

 
While the human body may appear fragile, your body is stronger than you could possibly imagine. It is possible for you to survive even after the removal of the spleen, the stomach, one kidney, one lung, 75% of the liver, 80% of the intestines, and almost every organ from the pelvic and groin area.








3)You Can Still Have An Erection After Death!

This is a death erection, which often being referred to as ‘angel lust’. It is a post-mortem erection that occurs when a male individual dies vertically or face-downside and as long as the body remains in this position, the effect will not subside.
How It Could Possibly Happen........?
When a man is still alive, the heart pumps blood evenly around the body. When he dies, this mechanism stops and the blood acts by the force of gravity. As with any mass, the blood will settle at the lowest point of the body and cause swelling. So if a man dies vertically, the blood will settle in the legs and collect at the feet.
The pressure will cause the blood vessels and tissues in the feet to swell up to accommodate as much blood as possible. As blood collects, it will fill up to the torso and the blood will attempt to move to a lower position due to gravity, which is the penis (the legs are full by now). The blood causes the penis, consisting of erectile tissue, to fill with blood and expand.


4) Heart Attacks Are More Likely To Happen On Monday! :)


A 10-year study in Scotland found that 20% of people die of a heart attack on Monday’s compare to any other day of the week. The study suggests that the ‘Monday peak’ could be a result of massive drinking during the weekend and work related stress; you know the ‘Monday blues.’






5) Babies Have More Bones Than You Do! WHY??
                                                                    

When a baby is born, they have 300 bones in their body. When they reach adulthood they are left with only 206 bones. This is because the smaller bones eventually join together to form stronger single bones.









6) Your Hair Is Almost Indestructible!

 Apart from having it burnt, human hair decays at such a slow rate that it is almost impossible to get rid of. Do you remember those documentaries about Egypt, the pyramids and Mummies on Discovery Channel? Well the mummies are left with no flesh, practically nothing but bones and yes… hair. It might look fragile but hair cannot be destroyed by cold, change of climate, water, or other natural forces and it is resistant to many kinds of acids and corrosive chemicals.




7) You Can Survive Without Food But Not Without Sleep!

       You need sleep as much as you need food. Many people neglect the importance of having enough sleep without knowing that humans can actually survive longer without food than without sleep. With water alone, an average person could survive a month to two without food (that also varies from an individual’s body fat and other factors).
But a few sleepless nights will cause the person to start experiencing radical personality and psychological changes. The longest recorded time anyone has ever gone without sleep is 264 hours. Randy Gardner at the end of which the experiment did not stumble or hallucinate but  scientist  has said that any more sleepless nights than that is dangerous.


 
 TINY TEETH!
   
  Unlike your heart or brain , your teeth weren't ready to work from the day you were born. Although babies
have the beginning of their first teeth even before they are born, teeth don't become visible until babies are about 6 to 12 months old.

  After that first breaks through , more and more teeth begin to appear. Most kids have their first set of teeth
by the time they are 3 years old. These are called the primary or baby teeth and there are 20 in all. When a child gets to age 5 or 6 , these teeth starts falling out , one by one.

 There are 28 permanent teeth in all.- eight more than original set of baby teeth. Between  the ages of 17and 21,Four more teeth called Wisdom Teeth Usually grow in at the back of the mouth. They complete the adult set of 32 teeth.


 22 FEET ISN'T SMALL AT ALL??
 
   The small INTESTINE is a long tube that's about 1-1/2 inches to 2 inches ( about 3.5 to 5 centimeters)
around,and its packed inside you beneath your stomach. If you stretched out an adult's small intestine , it would be about 22 feet long ( 6.7meters) - thats like 22 notebooks notebooks lined up end to end , all in a row.

   The small intestine breaks down the food mixtures even more so your body can absorb all the vitamins,minerals,proteins,carbohydrates, and fats. The chicken on your pizza is full of proteins- and a little fat-and the small intestine can help extract them with a little help from three friends: and the gallbladder serves as a warehouse for bile , storing it until the body needs it.


THAT'S ONE LARGE INTESTINE??
 
At 3 or 4 inches around ( about 7 to 10 centimeters), the larger intestine is fatter than small intestine and its almost the last stop on the digestive system tract. Like the small intestine, it is packed into the body, and would measure 5 feet ( about 1.5 meters) long if you spread it out.















TASTE GREAT!!!

 
Most people just think of the tongue when they think about taste. But you couldn't taste anything without some help from the nose.! The ability to smell and taste to together because odors from foods allow us to taste more fully.
 Take a bite of food and think about now it tastes. Then pinch your nose and take another bite. Notice the difference? It's just another reason  to appreciate your knockout of a nose.




BOOGERS- hey! get your finger outta there! instead of picking them out ! lets learn about those blobs. YEAH! ., were talking about BOOGERS!. To understand what boogers are you need to know about mocus. Mucus is the sticky one. Slimy stuff that's made inside your nose. If you're like lot of kids, you have another name of nose mucus: snot your nose and sinuses make about a quart ( about 1 liter) of snot every day.


If you have  to get rod of boogers, your best  bet is to " BLOW" 'em... out of your nose and into a tissue. Picking your nose isn't a great idea because boogers contain lots of germs and because poking around in your nose can make it bleed.


 AHHHHH--CHOOOOOO!!!!


 If you just sneezed, something was probably irritating or tickling the inside or your nose. Sneezing also called
STERNUTATION., is your body's way of removing an irritation from your nose.
When the inside of your nose gets a tickle, a message is sent to a special part of your brain called the sneeze center. The sneeze center then sends a message to all the muscle that have to work together to create the amazingly complicated process that we call sneeze.
 "Some of the muscles involved are the abdominal ( belly ) muscle. the diaphragm ( the large muscle beneath your lungs that makes you breathe), the muscle that control your vocal cords, and muscle in the back of your throat. Don't forget the eyelid muscles! Did you know that you always close your eyes when you sneeze?

It is the job of the sneeze center to make all these muscles work together, in just the right order, to send that irritation flying out of your nose. And Fly it does - sneezing can send tiny particles speeding out of your nose at up to 100 miles per hour!.

  Most anything that can irritate the inside of your nose can start a sneeze. Some common things include dust,cold,air, or pepper. When you catch a cold in your nose , a virus has made a temporarily home there and is causing lots a swelling and irritation. Some people have allergies , and they sneeze when they are exposed to certain things , such as animal ( which comes from the skin of many common pets) or pollen ( which comes from some plants).

 Do you know anyone who sneeze when they step outside into the sunshine?? about one out of every three people sneezes when exposed to bright light. They are called PHOTIC sneezers. If you are a photic sneezers, most people have some sensitivity to light that can trigger a sneeze.






BLOGGER! - HAVE YOU EVER HAD THE FEELING THAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO SNEEZE, BUT IT JUST GET'S STUCK? NEXT TIME THAT HAPPENS,TRY LOOKING TOWARD A BRIGHT LIGHT BRIEFLY ( BUT DON'T LOOK RIGHT INTO THE SUN) - SEE IF THAT DOESN'T A UNSTICK STUCK SNEEZE!
ANYWAY THIS CRAZIEST THINGS IS A PART OF OUR DAILY LIVES,GOD DO THIS BECAUSE OF A BIG REASONS.

DINOSAURS LORE!!!!

 DINOSAUR! lore!!


After the mass extinction of 250 million years ago, one group of reptiles called dinosaurs started to dominate all others. Their name means terrible lizard. They were the commonest vertebrates for the next 150 million years. During their rule there were plant-eating and meat-eating ones, walking, flying and swimming dinosaurs, big ones, small ones.
At the time when the dinosaurs became dominant, all the land of the Earth was gathered together into Pangea.


 Dinosaurs are a varied group of animals from taxonomic, morphological and ecological standpoints. Birds, at over 9,000 living species, are the most diverse group of vertebrates besides PERCIFORM fish.Using fossil evidence, paleontologists have identified over 500 distinct genera and more than 1,000 different species of non-avian dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are represented on every continent by both extant species and fossil remains.Some are herbivorous, others carnivorous. Most dinosaurs have been bipedal, though many extinct groups included quadropedal species, and some were able to shift between these body postures. Many species possess elaborate display structures such as horns or crests, and some prehistoric groups developed skeletal modifications such as bony and spines. Birds have been the planet's dominant flying vertebrate since the extinction of the pterosauros, and evidence suggests that egg laying and nest building is a trait shared by all dinosaurs. Many prehistoric dinosaurs were large animals--the largest sauropods could reach lengths of almost 60 meters (200 feet) and were several stories tall--and while many extinct theropods were quite large, a majority evolved very small sizes, especially among birds and other advanced groups.


 Since the first dinosaur fossils were recognized in the early 19th century, mounted fossil dinosaur skeletons or replicas have been major attractions at museums around the world, and dinosaurs have become a part of world culture. Their diversity, the large sizes of some groups, and their seemingly monstrous and fantastic nature have captured the interest and imagination of the general public for over a century. They have been featured in best-selling books and films such as Jurassic Park, and new discoveries are regularly covered by the media.





Among FOSSILS ARE FOUND!
                                                                                                                                                                    
            "  Geologists have discovered a                           bunch of fossilized dinosaur eggs"






 

 

                                                                                                    The discovery of rare fossil footprints on public lands near the Red Gulch/Alkali National Back Country Byway close to Shell, Wyoming, could alter current views about the Sundance Formation and the paleoenvironment of the Middle Jurassic Period.






                                                                      

     BUT.. HOW DINOSAUR EXTINCT???


           There are many theories as to how the dinosaurs became extinct. This page presents some of the most popular thoeries. Keep in mind that there is no absolutely proven theory. No one knows for certain exactly why and how the dinosaurs became extinct.Probably the most popular theory right now is the Asteroid Theory. According to this theory a large asteroid or comet collided with Earth about 65 million years ago. Scientists think that such a large collision would throw so much dust into the air that sunlight would not be able to shine and plants and animals would die. The dramatic changes in climate that resulted from this huge collision were too much for the dinosaurs. They were not able to survive.Another theory that could explain how the dinosaurs became extinct is volcanic activity. A huge increase in volcanic activity at around 65 millions years ago could have pumped so much ash into the air that it blocked out the sun killing the dinosaurs.Some scientists believe that there was a severe ice age. Throughout Earth's history there have been many ice ages. The last one ended about 10,000 years ago. A very severe ice age could have changed temperatures and frozen a lot of Earth's water. The dinosaurs would not be able live under such conditions and that is how the dinosaurs became extinct.It has also been suggested that desease killed off the dinosaurs. A very deadly and contagious desease may have circulated among the dinosaurs forcing them to become extinct.Still yet another theory is that the Earth just gradually changed in climate over a long time period and the dinosaurs were not able to adapt to the cooler, dryer climate.





        Actual pieces of 70 million year old fossilized dinosaur bone that show bone structure and bone marrow. Collected in Central Utah. Pieces are about 2 inch size.











 BLOGGER OPINION!!



The other theories as to how the dinosaurs became extinct. One thing is for certain..... All dinosaurs that we know of are extinct. How did all the dinosaurs become extinct?...... Maybe one of these theories is the right answer. However,... it is difficult to explain why all the, dinosaurs died out but many other animals survived. Perhaps one day we will know for certain how the dinosaurs became extinct.... Until then we must speculate and continue the search for the answer to this great mystery of nature..diba??The dinosaurs' long period of dominance certainly makes them unqualified successes in the history of life on Earth.And also for me i will never stop finding and do research about how dinosaurs became extinct to us!!
