Shopping and gifts for the benefit of the planet. Contest

A point is to conclude this 2010 International Year of Biodiversity and declared by UNESCO. Undoubtedly, the annual statement of this period has served as a backdrop to highlight the valuable biodiversity that surrounds us and against which often attacks our daily activities.
is not my intention to make any assessment about the progress and contrasts obtained throughout the year with respect to the above matter, but it is inevitable to provide some feedback. Paradigms appreciable effect of such a declaration are the few but notable national measures that some countries have implemented to mitigate the environmental impact of motor industry and energy, for without being at all sufficient to alleviate a problem global impact reflects the commitment of many nations for the future of the planet, which is in short cuestasel own. This year we will leave some traces of awareness of citizens and government with the notable commitment to renewable energy and the use of lighting and appliances, low power consumption, no wonder it was perceived as an increased use of free energies contamination, as evidenced by the fact that thirty percent of the electricity generated in Valencia (Spain) is obtained in a clean and most of the appliances and light bulbs purchased this year offer reduced fuel consumption. Finally, ecology and economy go hand in hand, it seems that the financial crisis has given strong backing to the environment.
If we talk about biodiversity, this has been a year in which the findings by the international community have cryptozoological greater impact than ever. The exploration of the ocean at specific points has revealed unexpected diversity of deep ocean life, but on land we also surprised with the description of tens of thousands of new species of flora and fauna among which stand out the giant monitor three species found in Asia and Oceania, the dozens of innovations that make reference to anurans hitherto unknown to science, Parrots land and other birds, sauropsids diverse variety of mammals including primates include just described, thousands of insects, crustaceans, amphibians and endless etc. among which explored unspoiled ecosystems in Borneo and New Guinea, whose dispatches are deducted from a number of novel species, and all without talking about bacteria that metabolize arsenic and incorporate it into their DNA or life forms that survive in the most unexpected effects.
In addition, this year will end end up most clearly, though conditioned by the economic hardships that many families have been dragging for some time, the consumerist fervor awake at this time, prompting many of us to resume an activity often irrational and unhealthy for our pocket, yet all is not lost, because until that trade diversion into the Christmas spirit can be benign for our environment and its biodiversity if we act responsibly. Fortunately
many items and toys are ready to be purchased or given away minimum impact, as the recycling and reuse have been wounded in force this Christmas, well, again the economic outlook is the cause that now more than ever sharpen your wits to save reusing. Very tempting alternative is to buy products whose direct benefit resulting from its marketing is intended to conservation and regeneration of species and ecosystems, as is the case of items offered by the World Wildlife Fund.

Gift smart is that
contributing to the conservation of biodiversity.


Indeed, this international organization of an environmental non-profit organization offers a number of products produced in a clean energy and material (energy and materials renobables clean, recycled or recyclable) to obtain full financial resources for conservation of many endangered species, ecosystems and those most in need of protection. Buy a keychain
WWF, representing the most endangered species, is at once both a detail for that loved one as for endangered fauna, but if the shirts are not nice or appropriate for himself or recipient of your gift, perhaps you enjoy most about endangered animals stuffed animals, recreated alone or in possession of their young, a real encouragement to the children.
gifts is also possible to find much more useful and practical as Agenda 2011, published by WWF and National Geographic, Calendars tabletop or wall with the best shots, themed shirts with more awareness, backpacks, lunch bags and bread, pins, badges symbolic, pendants, and stickers, some of which are accompanied by a small gift with your purchase. Christmas and conservation in the same gesture.
Get any of these products at a price modest is as simple as making a request via email socios@wwf.es, for which there is no need to be a member of the organization or order through any two phones available: 91 354 0578 and 902 102 107. It will be necessary to provide the full name of the buyer, a telephone number and / or e-mail address, mailing address and choice of receiving the item or items desired. Financial donations are also accepted at the foundation, whose destination is the same as the benefit to the items provided. Beyond
Christmas, this initiative will continue throughout the year to last.

Flight Simulater Chair




I'm not a great lover of Christmas, and not thought to be congratulated on the blog, because I did not leave the necessary words peeeero ... after giving a few laps, I thought that it is not fair that those who you are, you will not receive a greeting from me.

Therefore, to that you enjoy with passion, which you begin to enjoy them, who give a damn but not miss a good party, and that you produce nostalgia, loneliness, or some discomfort ... to each and every one of you.

Christmas and a Happy New Year full of dreams and smiles!

And remember, the ideal gift is not sold in the English court or any other store, the ideal gift is in the dreams. So listen carefully to those you have around you, because maybe not a perfume, jewelry, garment, or a next-generation device that dream, maybe dreaming of being princes and princesses of fairy for a day, or children for a while, or take a stroll through a place unusual, or see the stars at your side ... But do not say sssshhhhhhh very high, not going to put them on sale.

"If it's good to live, it's still better to dream, and best of all, wake up"

Ski Helmet With Chin Protector

Merry Christmas What we forgot in Kenya


recommend not reading this story without having read the previous chapters:
When I got the car I gave the driver the address of our old house. I knew that Paul would be upset when you discover that the letter had given Eva, but I thought it would also not need to know. And if one day I discovered, it would be late and understand I did thinking about your good and your family. But ... what was I thinking? Paul knew me enough to notice in my face that he was lying, as I wonder whether he had delivered and he said yes. I had to think of a better plan, as he had lost ... but that does not prevent re-write ... or maybe that was the solution, I could rewrite it, and settle the matter definitively. The trip made me very short, and when thinking on the subject of the letter, I avoided looking out the window the path that the car was, I felt anxious and scared me more than I imagined, to face the memories. Nairobi was in my head joy and sadness in equal measure, but the downside was so painful that unconsciously forced to hide my happy memories, and focused on London, the city that gave me inner peace. In London an accident had not taken the lives of my parents. In London, I hoped my husband and my children. London was the perfect place to close a door that I caused pain to open.

The car stopped right on the doorstep. For a moment I thought that if he touched the bell, the door may be opened, and her mother's smile to the other side, but I did not. I went home from The Sherman, asking the key that Paul had left them. The time had taken its toll on those familiar faces, who transported me to the garden parties that had shared, when their sons Philip and Joey, were inseparable friends of Paul, and three life spent teasing. At that time, Paul and I we could not bear, for me it was intolerable that the kid had touched me as a brother, started to get along when he returned from Spain, and came to study with me to London. Our childhood was paved with fights and quarrels among us, we could not spend more than fifteen minutes without arguing, and we never we put agree on anything.

I opened the front door with a trembling hand. As I walked down the hall, thousands of images flashed through my head like a slideshow, but at the rate of six frames per second. Everything was in place as Paul said, everything but the smell. Lacked the warmth of the smell of my home, which could not but bring to mind at that time was missing. Nor was the fruit that my mother liked to put in a container, in the middle of the kitchen table, and the glass jar of cookies on the counter, was empty, like the pantry. Started to feel that anguish for so many years I had kept back, maybe Paul was wrong, for me it was useless to confront the past, wanted to close my eyes and meet in London to open them with my family, that place where I could not find my house was as cold as the backdrop for a film. Tears began to pile up in my eyes and ran to my bedroom as a child, and I did not like something, only this time no one ran behind me to console me. My room was as if time had never been there and put my face on the pillow, I felt it was the smell ever, the smell of my childhood, so long accompanied my dreams. And to recover the aroma of my childhood, I found the taste of my memories, the good, of which there were buried with those who caused me anguish.

on the shelf, along with my books, lay a picture of my graduation, she appeared in all four. Watching her, I remembered why I decided not to take me to London, there to reflect the times in which the four lived together at home, after that I went to study abroad, a year later he became Paul, and I started an independent life of meetings on key dates.

had a lump in my throat, I wanted to leave the house, I needed some fresh air that was not in there, and decided to focus on the letter that Paul had given me, and had to rewrite for delivery. I sat in my old desk and opened the letter carefully not to break the envelope and unfolded the paper I came across something I do not understand why I had not crossed his mind, was written in English, and had no idea to translate that language. I the possibility of translating it with the laptop in my hotel, but my eyes returned to meet with that old photograph of my graduation, and the happy face we all had, and I bumped into Paul's eyes, the joy radiating the child who later would go to Spain, and would make his return in the brother and friend of confidence, more mature, because there was no longer the kid that I had touched a brother, to become a man in love, who delivered their love in abundance to all of us. And then the accident happened, and never again be the same, for the great loss and because he felt the blame for what had happened. And I only left me wondering, who was I to interfere in his life, when life had already given back more times, and I could not afford to now, the person in whom he confided.

I introduced the letter in an envelope and locked it, went to the Protea Hotel Cairo Road and gave the front desk. And then, for the first time, I wished with all my heart that this letter reached its destination.


(Okay, yes, I admit girls, do not kill me, I know I'm getting dizzy the letter and that you are willing to open it ... but the fault of the heads for not letting me use my characters as I please ... at the end ¬ ¬ I do not know who the hell I will think to release the letter ... just stole a Tolkien Frodo Baggins or Gollum himself ... or already made Aragorn jajajaja so forgive me motion sickness from the letter: P)

Tortuamigos 2011.

With the focus in the new year ahead "The Mirror of Science has launched the second year running the aptly named" Competition for Tortuamigos "aimed at users already prestigious Forum Amigos de las Tortugas ( http://www.tortuamigos.com/ ). This second edition features as its predecessor, the possibility that registered users get an exceptional gift through an entertaining and educational quiz and activities about animals that are essentially the center of attention, the turtles.
Rules are the same as those set out in last year: ten activities are proposed, all very simple games for learners and lovers of the Turtles. Just indicate the correct answer or solution to each of them. The successful bidder is the user gets the most correct answers, in case of a tie between two or more participants, is the quickest answer that is imposed.
On this occasion, the prize winner is the most attractive; This blog provides a gift of great artistic and educational value while of considerable value, with two elements in the consignment: An Informal Agenda National Geographic Society . If last year was submitted in this contest the society's official agenda, this year it is donated a much more relaxed but equally valuable and useful. This essential tool organization has space to accommodate a user's personal data, annual chart available for hours daily tasks grouped weekly, accompanied by beautiful photographs (trademark of National Geographic), articles and thematic maps and diagrams; all set in a hard cover edition equipped with beautifully presented, practical spiral binding and a locking original and comfortable. The Agenda 2011 is dedicated to our oceans, which is Parente on the subject of all the work Thanks to its numerous photographs, and maps. Second, the winner will receive a special edition of National Geographic entitled "Seas and Oceans: Water for Life." We are in a unique publication that presents an enjoyable mysteries and knowledge gained over the centuries about the oceans, their origin, climate and biodiversity, providing a stunning collection of photographs worthy of National Geographic and the most advanced educational artwork in the form of graphs, maps and high-resolution schemes. In this work have helped world-renowned scientists and true authorities on the subject such as Mario Molina, Dorion Sagan and Lynn Margulis and others. Ultimately, the winner gets a whole lot that is a reference on the seas and oceans of the world.

willing Award winner.

This activity was submitted to the remarkable community of Tortuamigos eleventh day last Saturday and the contest was officially launched with the publication of the ten activities that formed the basis on which to participate, which took place on Wednesday, the fifteenth day this month at twelve o'clock PM, as the official time provisions Forum UTC + 2 hours. After several days of proceedings, having registered a remarkable acceptance and participation by members of the Forum, could finally disclosed the name of the winner, made public yesterday.
With a total of nine hits over ten activities, and because of failure to register any full winners, the faster response was received on Wednesday, December 15 to 15 hours, 44 minutes and 26 seconds with the return of Miriam Guzman Global Moderator user and that responds to Miri_Guzmán pseudonym. With this victory, Miriam validates the title won in the first edition of the competition.

The Front Of My Hair Is Thinning

For the curiosity of the audience ... The frozen heart



I have not had time to make an entrance in a position but how could we not discuss the most anticipated interview of the issue ...

The sad truth is that a contestant with a chance of winning the contest, has lost the curiosity of those who follow the program to come face to face with images that no one would see on your partner ... but that's life, and that's big brother, and of course I still love!

And what While they set up the videos? There, poking his finger in the yaga and contrasting the words of justification and the version that she had to reassure him with the reality of the facts ... do not let puppet head. If I do not even remember half the things he had said or done, and that from time to time have repeated ... no wonder she had some distorted memories. Although I believe that the worst of all, there are pictures of her with the geypermans, but harassment and demolition that had to Reuben, into believing that he was the "executioner" and not the "victim", that is to manipulate tests and the rest is nonsense ... but of course to have achieved that, he should have been in the same condition, and it is clear that Reuben is on another level than her.

I want to leave it on Thursday and face events ... to continue with the illness of the matter ... and because I see everyone is committed to take to Iago, is leading the polls, and do not understand. I like it, is playing its cards what's wrong? It's a contest! Why do we forget every time you see someone play? And it is false to those around them, and change the group of about socks, but part of its strategy. In the confessional, often speaking out, does not try to fool the audience, as expected they did Feroz and Flor (here, the program spent three villages). The decision to have committed is to believe that to win, the important thing is to get no nominee out to me that has seen little or no issues ... I like his dry humor and I enjoy indoors. It is the only one who has faced the flirts in the stanzas, and it is flushed through the house ... If I go out Yago bored as an oyster. So for me ... echéis not porfa, porfa ...

Wake Up Extrme Itching




I loved this book, the story told is located in the historical context that goes from the English Civil War, through World War II until today .

tells the story of two families and the nexus that unites them is a recent issue of exile, and where the circumstances, by a chance meeting of this , make that connection is revealed, but not before getting the life of the main characters, explore a maze of desires and passions, which were not in their plans.

The way to tell is perfect, weaves one by one to their characters and be connected in space and time, in a very clean and complete, no loose ends, and just right, making each one know, all we need to know to place them in context.

The story filled me, both in substance and in form, and to close the book left me feeling that he had plenty and lacked nothing.

Recommended Reading hundred percent.

Gums Feel Swollen In Morning

The eternal provisional Museum.

Morella is a small citadel, capital of the region of Els Ports that are located in the northern English province of Castellón. Just last month I had the pleasure to announce on this blog your choice to host the ninth edition of the Meeting of Young Researchers in Paleontology, and today I am about to make known, in broad terms, one of the biggest attractions of the city paleontology, especially with regard to tourism and the general public.
The concept of the Museum "Dinosaur Temps" (Time of Dinosaurs in the local Valencian dialect) was born to accommodate a thematic area that showed the incredible value that the municipality has paleontological, as Morella and its many districts, like the rest of the region constitute a huge reservoir covering a period from the Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous, ie, between 145,000,000 and 98,000,000 years. Initially, the museum would be temporary because municipal authorities contemplating an ambitious project aimed at restoring the old factory Giner and therefore, its location was not right what is wished. Were the formidable towers guarding the gate of San Miguel, one of the main entrances to the walled citadel that served as a framework to expose the fossils donated by amateur paleontologist Francisco Yeste Morella and other items of special interest taken in the vicinity. It's been a dozen years I had the opportunity to visit the Museum for the first time in this early site, and although it was necessary to scroll vertically through the narrow halls of the restored fort, was a experience noteworthy because the beauty of the twin towers attached to each side of the door above the spectacular fossils exposed stunned me.
Over time, the genuine idea of \u200b\u200bputting together a great museum that places Morella in the forefront of the national paleontological museum fading despite the momentum shown by the local council, as the factory Giner, a symbol of industrial prosperity and textile city \u200b\u200bin the nineteenth century, required a costly and lengthy restoration before being able to host any event. The complex was later acquired by the Foundation Blasco de Alagon, which conditioned part of the building to provide samples and exhibitions that would help to finance its activities as a cultural foundation, the exhibition "Lizards terribly big" and "i Carbó Dinosaur" (In Valencia, Coal and Dinosaurs), mentioned in this Blog and private channel, are a good example of such events , often promoted by EDC Natura - Omacha Foundation. In response to many setbacks, the MUDIM or Dinosaur Museum Morella you were several candidates to take his place in the English paleontological panorama, the most fierce rival is still undoubtedly the Cinctorres neighbor, who has announced that it is able to accommodate a large Dinosaur Museum on a shoestring budget less than required by Morella. Under such pressures, the district capital in past years has outfitted a room more suitable museum to display his collection of fossilized, occupying one of the aisles of an old church acquired by the City and partially restored for use as the Health Center.
Today, the Museum Dinosaur Temps is framed by that church nave between arches and architectural shots Baroque Rococo style, and despite constituting a room much larger and more accessible than the old towers, preserved their provisional nature, because Morella authorities do not give up having to compete for one of the Paleontological Museum most notable of the nation.

Exterior view of the Museum.

The group of pictures that accompany these lines have been selected from the snapshots taken during my last visit, which took place during the first week of last November. Despite the ban states to capture photographs of the site, I was granted the privilege of taking some pictures to give shape to this informal presentation that aims to attract the attention of readers of the blog and generate a general idea of \u200b\u200bthe framework that will encompass EJIP next edition in 2011.

main room and hallway.

By accessing the museum are greeted by a magnificent scale reconstruction of an Iguanodon bernissartensis , Dinosaur star local deposits. For a small fee and a loose schedule that covers much of the day you can view a selection of the more prominent findings occurred in the numerous quarries in the region.

angular Detail of the first room.

After the reception room is accessed several smaller rooms where you will find many Vertebrate fossils from the Lower Cretaceous local representative, Crocodiles, Mosasaurus and other terrestrial and marine organisms share space in the first module with a model that attempts to recreate the landscape Morella 100,000,000 years ago.

Murals explanatory.

murals are not lacking in character graphics and informative text that aim to provide guidance and orientation for visitors less familiar with the wonders of extinct fauna that are set before their eyes.

Close side of a cabinet.

Iguanodon, Coelurus , Dacentrurus , Megalosaurus and indeterminate Baryonychinae Brachiosauridae and Dinosaurs are better represented in the Museum, obviously because it is the species found in the vicinity.

Brachiosauridae scapula, the center of attention.

In short, we are without doubt a great resort yet is only a foretaste of a much more ambitious and yet is finding many more obstacles in their way originally envisaged, from Here I would like to express my wholehearted support to MUDIM, worth the bad economic and political to erect a museum worthy of the city of Morella and paleontological incomparable environment. I encourage you to visit this time of dinosaurs, Morella and her charms are well worth it.

That Christmas ...



not remember when was the last time he had believed in Christmas, do not get along with the zest that aroused in people that time, which everyone seemed to float on a magic potion of happiness, while others seemed to sink in silence, struggling to stay afloat and not be submerged in a deep loneliness.

But that Christmas had not started with the same apathy, something inside asked to smile and share their joy, to breathe deeply every particle of that cold December air, admire those lights adorning their city ... And that something that had changed their world, were the eyes of that child who walked wrapped in his arms, his son. A gorgeous looking boy, who was born that year and was teaching a nice lesson, because what I was feeling could not be otherwise, must be what everyone called "the spirit of Christmas."

(For Elena, hope you like and serve you for what you want. A big hug)

Where Can I Buy St.dalfour Cream In Abu Dhabi

Advance on the IX Symposium.

The ninth edition of the International Symposium & Photo naturalized already has a fledgling program. It is soon to establish a firm timetable, but as subjects to be addressed are listed and scientists, photographers, naturalists and lecturers are confirming their participation, the event begins to take shape.
between Thursday 7 and Sunday April 10, 2011 elapse conferences, lectures, screenings and outreach activities that are being prepared by EDC Natura - Omacha Foundation, which this time has the support of National Geographic Society, Felix Foundation Rodríguez de la Fuente and the Fundació Caixa Rural Vila - Real among others and of course with the full support of the City of Villareal, Castellón Provincial Council, the Generalitat Valenciana and the blog "The Mirror of Science." As usual, the Municipal Auditorium will be the Castellon town of Villarreal parade the stage where all acts.
Under the most questionable and discriminatory slogan "Neanderthals and Humans, a forbidden love" is intended to emphasize the star speech of the Symposium and already more than classic round table will address the potential relationship between two human species through the prism scientific Thanks to the participation of Dr. Juan Luis Arsuaga, Antonio Rosas, Jordi Agustí and address and moderation of Dr. Andrés Santos. The mistake when choosing a suitable holder which has roughly our focus is evident, because in trying to shorten the correct name "anatomically modern humans" by the more succinct and familiar "Human" achieved only marginalize those other members of the genus Homo , and therefore also a full human being, or were, the Neanderthals. A monumental oversight that no one goes unnoticed. About
other activities that will shape this Symposium IX applies as Albert Manuel Pijoan Maso and will present his latest work, "Amphibians and Reptiles" (sauropsids, in honor of the reality cladistics), Vicente Urios show its Vultures and owls up in the province of Castellón (Spain), Begoña Poza will offer an introduction to the dinosaur tracks, and are also notable contributions from Julio Garcia Robles with his talk "Men and Alligators" and Erwan Grey Pictures of the Dharma, but equally interesting are the contributions of Jose A. Esteban and Manuel Castellote who will contribute their research under the title "After the singing of Cetaceans" Enrique Calvo will display their work "between art and business", Ana Mincikoba will talk about the Siberian Tiger (Panthera tigris altaica ), Fernando Trujillo will present "Colombia: Nature, volunteering and picture, and Francisco Marquez will reveal" Nomads in Mongolia. " To make matters worse, the commitment will bring audiovisual Paco Alarcon presenting "Arthropods Stock, José Antonio Fernández" Photography Night "(title of his wonderful book of photographs), Jordi Bas" Vicissitudes in the hide, Joseph B. Ruiz "The language of art," Tato Roses "World travelers, Antonio Sáez with" Sequences of nature ", Javier Marcos' Ol Pejeta, Kenya" and Vicente Ribarrocha with "Costa Rica". For its part, the contributions of Mark G. Meide will reveal the "secrets of photography, Frank Nieto will share their secrets about photography with flash and Eduardo Blanco will present "Art and motion photography." The finishing touch to such a colossal program will put the awards traditionally associated as the Photography Contest Ciutat de Vila - Real Competition for Young Karibu among others, and the screening of the documentary "Columbretes: Back to Nature" Abel Campos is a report prepared by the program of Radio Television Valenciana "environment."
In short, a range of topics and experts that will delight all lovers of nature and photography that is willing to attend; as usual the entry is completely free and free to universal for all events. Are invited.

How To Keep Leather Shoes From Creasing

The ocean at 332 degrees.

or Sharks The Sharks are a large group of Vertebrate Chondrichthyes Subclass Elasmobranchii Selachimorpha called, in more familiar terms this means that it is a great group that forms a Elasmobranchii Superorder of fish skin and cartilaginous skeleton denticular .
still had to pass 200,000,000 years for the first dinosaurs should give their first steps of evolution on land where the simple but revolutionary design of the Sharks began to cross the shallow seas around the globe. A balloon that human eyes would be practically unrecognizable, as if it were another planet, because the fragmentation of the supercontinent Pannotia due to tectonic movements had created a landscape dominated by a global ocean topped by a great southern continent called Gondwana accompanied by two smaller masses, called Siberia Euramerica, located in northern latitudes and Ecuador respectively, the three great continents were relatively close to each other and include large areas of sheltered shallow seas dotted with thousands of islands. It was a world that might well seem strange, life had just taken his first steps on land and seas hold primitive but very different creatures from which the Sharks did not stand at all, although its qualities for survival and quirky original designs, characterized by rare forms with all sorts of appendages, oral toothed wheels, body extension and a host of non-anatomical ons soon open the way to colonize numerous ecological niches around the globe to the point of monopolizing the fishing life for about 300,000,000 years, when over 70% of marine fish were sharks. The keys to its success? Unusual sensory perception, skin denticular that optimized and continues to optimize its qualities swim and avoid hydrodynamic turbulence and an enviable adaptability. However, the mass extinction occurred at the end of the Permian period, 250,000,000 years ago, hit hard this group of cartilaginous fish resistant to deepen their greatest weakness: Its low fertility rate motivated by a life characterized by aggressive antisocial sexual individuals of the same species. Not surprisingly, 96% of marine species were doomed to rapid extinction of not more than 100,000 years.
recovered from that catastrophe, the Sharks have returned to fill the role as predators, apart from that during certain periods, sauropsids marine as mosasaurs and plesiosaurs or Mammals Orcas as they temporarily stolen the spotlight and sometimes even the highest ranks of the food chain. Its adaptability has led them to take from forms as distinctive and recognizable as the blue shark (Prionace glauca ) or the great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias ) to unusual and peculiar aspects such as the hammerhead shark (Sphyrna mokarran ) or rays, skates and sea eagles taking their own evolutionary path. It is without doubt the design of those sharks, commonly called "cuckold" or "Hammer" one of the most specialized of those can be seen in our days and from then many of its peculiarities are still a mystery to science, mystery began to unravel, however. Sharks hammer
Cuckold Family Sphyrnidae are marine and are included in the Order of Carcharhiniformes. Broadly, their anatomy is akin to other components of this Order: dynamic, muscular body, skin denticular, ovoviviparous reproduction and advanced sensory instruments, but a notable feature distinguishes at first sight of his fellows, it is obviously his head, long cross in relation to the body as if it were a hammer. A trait that does not go unnoticed.

Hammerhead Shark Sphyrna or mokarran . Recreation
Rialp "Junior."


Biomolecular Research, based on analysis of mitochondrial DNA markers have defined the origin of this striking form, confirming that the closest relatives of these sharks are the members of the genus Carcharhinus , which has species almost unknown to the public such as the Galapagos shark, the shark or the most popular gray reef shark, placing their common relative, the Carcharhinidae primitives, such as common ancestors of each other. However the line separation evolutionary hammerheads with respect to their closest relatives is at the end of the day or early Oligocene, Eocene, so this group has had more than 30,000,000 of years to adapt their morphological design for greater specialization as evidenced by the low turn fossil record, limited to several teeth and some vertebrae and impressions and skeletal body.
Today this small family is composed of two genera and nine species Eusphyra Gender the controversy has only Eusphyra blochii Horned or planner, very primitive and often difficult to classify, while the Gender Sphyrna includes the other species, which are Sphyrna corona crowned or hammerhead shark, Sphyrna cowardliness whales and hammerhead sharks, Sphyrna lewini or common Hammerhead Shark, Sphyrna half spoon or hammerhead shark, Sphyrna mokarran or hammerhead shark, Sphyrna or Horned sharks sharks, Sphyrna tudes or hammerhead shark Sphyrna zygaena ojichico and hammerhead shark or cross. All rooms have their own sensory array of sharks such as lateral line that allows them to detect movements and vibrations in the surrounding water, but this particular family presents in the shape of their heads, a special bracket to accommodate more specialized bodies of sharks in order to sharpen up the limit. A notable example is the dispersion of blisters Lorenzini, which are present in most sharks, but among the Sphyrnidae get their best, because its higher density and available under one head of this magnitude not only allow Animal detect weak electromagnetic fields emanating from prey in the water, but provides them with sufficient sensitivity to detect even under several inches of mud and sand on the seabed, making it the successful hunters sedimentary dam are: special family that is out of reach of other sharks. However, also the smell of the Cuckold is particularly efficient because sense since this instrument is located in two ends of the head, provides a directional perception that not only detects a speck of blood or other fluids per million of water, it is also able to determine their origin with high accuracy. On the other hand also the eyes are separated on both sides of the head, a recent study conducted by Jim Dawson for the National Geographic Society has determined that your vision diplopia searches a field of view of 182 º angle on each side obtaining a small frontal area of \u200b\u200bonly 32 º stereo. The weakness of this approach is that the shark much a blind spot right in front of himself and can not see head-on at a distance less than twice the width of your head, so that short distances come into play the other senses for the detection and capture of fish, molluscs and crustaceans that make up its diet. Needless to state that also lack the posterior visual perception at an angle of 28 º. Notably, the tapetum lucidum behind the retina located exponentially increases the sensitivity to light, allowing night hunting or great depth.
In short, this is a highly familiar group specialized evolutionary adaptation which has sacrificed some discretion and hydrodynamics for greater specialization has allowed them to find food without having to compete for prey with most other sharks, however, this is not the end of his superb adaptation by example, we can see evolution in action after discovering that the size of the head of Sphyrna mokarran , a species with more than six feet long and half a ton of weight, which used to be nourished on the open sea instead of using the seabed in the style of Sharks "classic" is reduced generation after generation, because its unique design is less effective in these areas.
The Sharks have inhabited the seas and oceans around the world for over 400,000,000 years, occupying much of that time the highest ranking of the marine food chain, but today its disappearance rate is comparable to that seen during the great Permian extinction, but this time at the hands of a species, humans, that kills irresponsibly either for commercial, sport, through carelessness or by an irrational hatred of magnificent predators, if we take care and stop chase, ending its long evolutionary journey may be approaching, the whole tragedy and of course an environmental debacle that we must avoid at all coast towards the future and our own.
is my humble wish to dedicate this article to Javier Juarez Sanchez de Girona, Spain, a lover Sharks confidence placed in me despite being a complete unknown. Get my full support and respect mood face of adversity. Mr. Javier health.

Chennai Potties Sarre

Black coat with tails

A few months ago I made this layer but until today I could not upload to the blog.

never had a coat with tails and was looking forward to the outcome. So I get to work.



For this I used a beautiful black crepe fabric with great fall and brightness (double wide). Much volume as I did want a seam in the back and took the opportunity to give all the desired length.
The layer has a queue of about 60 cm and cut more or less following this sketch.



To the hood I took the surplus of the pattern (wedge the bottom corner)


Uni
parts (cape and hood) with a single seam and took the opportunity to reinforce the entire interior perimeter of the neck with a satin ribbon, long enough to serve to tie in chest.

then finished off the rim once hand-woven Celtic two colors (blue and yellow gold) with the frame.

This is the result:



Embroidery Detail:



For if anyone is interested in the embroidery template post to this link where you download the podais at full resolution. It was a single so I have prepared with PS so that they are two symmetrical. template downloads.



This is a detail of the interior dress, long sleeve linen under his arm wide open and sewn with a green ribbon.



Hope you liked it. Leonor

Simcity 4 Deluxe Patch Error

Morella, Headquarters EJIP IX. Reuse

is determined, Morella Castellon city will host the Ninth Meeting of Young Researchers in Paleontology, one of the most important paleontological events of those are carried out regularly on English soil. This meeting, which is the acronym EJIP, already has eight editions per year, reaping one success after another in terms of attendance, participation and media coverage.

EJUP IX, Morella 2011.

A Morella (Castellón, Spain) has not lacked for reasons to be chosen as the venue for the ninth meeting, which will be held next May 2011. In strictly paleontological, the sprawling municipality of the city, constitutes a huge reservoir, formed by numerous attractions, as indicated by the former director of the excavations, Dr. José Vicente Santafé the Institute of Paleontology Sabadell, "Where I dug in Morella, I have found fossils. " Different species of dinosaurs, a variety of turtles, plesiosaurs and countless relics of all kinds of marine life and coastal landscape are the paleontological Morella, a window on the Flora and Fauna of the Lower Cretaceous English. Morella
rocks out of the first dinosaur remains Iberian alongside other contemporary creatures back in the last decades of the nineteenth century, when the Paleontology in Spain was only a curious rumor came from Europe and North America. Further research by local deposits occurred at intervals throughout the last century, although Initial findings predicted just a coastal deposit where to find the scattered remains of a land never inhabited by dinosaurs, but an enthusiastic inquiries from local matter, Francisco Yeste, caught the attention of paleontologists from the front line with their findings, which did justice to scrutinize numerous sites and make Morella in the elite of English Paleontology. Currently, there are still many sites for probing and digging and some species are found there waiting to be scheduled as in the case of the Chelonia Morella, some of which may involve the description of new species for science. Their wealth is such that even excavating to lay the foundations of the wind farm required the presence of paleontologists in the works. Paleontology
part, Morella is also a major tourist reference, not only thanks to its impressive fortified citadel, crowned with one of the most beautiful castles and best preserved in the Valencia region, but for architecture, landscape, history, tradition and food with character. Undoubtedly, a city worthy of the event.
As himself Meeting of Young Researchers in Paleontology is concerned, this ninth day elapse between eleven to fourteen years May next, beginning on Wednesday to welcome the participants, thus opening a marathon program of activities to be defined in detail, which runs until Saturday.
For those readers who are interested in tracking the development of the event through the link below will find all available information as fence emerging:

Is There Any Scanner In Mobile Phone

profitable and environmentally supportive.

comes a great opportunity for those with one or more mobile terminals (Mobile) outdated damaged or disused who do not want to discard, being aware of the environmental impact that technological waste generated. WWF Spain has reached an agreement with the operator Vodafone Spain for a campaign that promotes the reuse of mobile phones among its customers and users from other companies. The phones collected through this initiative are packed and ready for new use in European countries, Middle East, Asia and Africa, thus avoiding the hazardous electronic waste. We talked about reuse for sustainable progress.

Mobile outdated obsolete.

WWF and Vodafone have a new project for the recovery of used mobile, now available in stores and distributors. This environmental and social solution is made through the company Zonzoo and plan to reuse as many of the more than 20 million used phones that exist in Spain. This initiative provides a collection service and handset purchases for reuse. Vodafone customers can register for free by Vodafone's website and get additional benefits of up to 6 euros. On the other hand, anyone who is not a client of the operator also can go to their outlets and sell its mobile Zonzoo, receiving in its current account and in less than a month, the amount of handsets sold.
For those unfamiliar with the company Zonzoo, it is packaged as "A company founded in 2001 in the UK. Operates in nine European countries: Buy old mobile phones to repair and resell them at affordable prices to people who want to reuse in emerging markets. Thus extending the useful life of these electronic devices. " The company pioneered Zonzoo is really active at international level and has managed to gain the confidence of consumers and major mobile carriers. Reuse, solidarity and respect for the environment in the same gesture by which we all win.
should be noted that 5% of profits to be derived from the phones supplied by users will go to WWF Spain. But Vodafone customers can also donate the entire amount you receive for your terminal used to this organization, to allow funds to conservation of nature. As
Zonzoo describes himself, collaborate and benefit from this campaign is very simple: "Zonzoo offers a fast and reliable service which is always a benefit for those who decide to dispose of their unused mobile. The price offered can be checked by entering the make and model of phone you want to sell in the database on the Web. Once accepted the offer and entered their data, the client receives an email confirming the sale. Mobile phones sold are collected free of charge by a messenger of ASM, the day and in the time zone has been indicated to make the sale. Delivery is effective when the customer enters their cell phones sold in an envelope inviolable that provides the messenger, and that is sealed on the spot. No one else handled the shipment until it reaches the processing plant in Munich (Germany), where it is found that the make, model and condition of the terminal correspond with those described in the sale. Payment is made by transfer to the account indicated on the form of sale within not more than thirty working days. If the customer prefers to cash out, you can do at the offices of Western Union partners, in which case a fee of € 3 for sales of less than 100 € and 5 € if they exceed the 100 €.. "

Campaign promoted by WWF, Vodafone and Zonzoo.

is a decent chance of taking advantage, obsolete electronics and obsolete often represent a nuisance in the home and uncontrolled waste threatens the environment, now you can get money for something that does not use, promote recycling , make a gesture of solidarity and contribute to the care and respect for the environment in an easy and convenient.
If you are interested in collaborating, I offer a few useful links:

Gay In High School Bathroom

Valencia.

Butterflies are to understand Western culture, a symbol of innocence, beauty and fragility. Their colors fascinate children, accounting one of the main elements of the iconography child, their habits and morphology have always attracted the attention of anyone who contemplates the wonders of the animal kingdom and its preservation is a topic of debate among scientists and environmentalists. Butterflies are known popularly
the insect order Lepidoptera, which are included as members of the Superorder Endopterygota within Infraclass Neoptera. This is a large group, consisting of about one hundred twenty-seven Families and more hundred and sixty-five thousand species, grouped in Aglossata, Glossata. Zeugloptera Heterobathmiina and the four suborders are the clade. Most species of butterflies are actually habits Insects night, looking slightly fuzzy and colorful, but diurnal species are the most popular and famous, and others experience a complete metamorphosis, giving birth by laying eggs which fry emerge in the form of worms or larvae, called caterpillars, after which feed on leaves and stems will create a cocoon or chrysalis casing body to start its reorganization which will result in the winged adult look so familiar to everyone.
In Spain more than two hundred known diurnal species of these insects, entomologists and international studies have provided this beautiful biological group in the Iberian Peninsula, but unfortunately are very few studies have focused on the eastern side of the country, although this is where the greatest concentration of national Lepidoptera.
I remember the first serious and systematic study undertaken of the Butterflies Valencia was entitled "The Lepidoptera of Castellón de la Plana" despite my young age at the time of publication, this incontestable work was very early in my home library, which I soon get familiar with it. The volume was based with the research of Dr. Jose Amador De la Calle Pascual, who with the support provided by the Economic Research Seminar, ecological and social currently merged with Caja de Ahorros y Monte de Piedad de Castellón, published the most complete catalog of butterflies and moths of that English province in 1983, after a work of capture, recognition and identification of thousands of copies through traps specially designed for this, located in different ecosystems of the region, for which he devoted several years of effort. The result was none other than the most complete publication about these insects, with specific references to individual photographs, diagrams, tables and other graphics. Notably, the work of Dr. De la Calle involved the description of numerous taxa hitherto unknown territory Castellon.
Since then, little else has been collector of interest, although prospective studies, especially by the respective faculties of the Universities of Valencia, have generated considerable academic knowledge about the species inhabiting the autonomous territory. However, this trend has just incomprehensible remedied, thanks to a new scientific project aimed to formally present informative, once and for all, diversity of species that find their habitat in Valencia with a vocabulary and a graphic that can be known and understood by all.
This new work receives the title "Butterflies of Valencia, and it renews and refreshes the content informative so far contained domestic works on the subject and provides a more regional and specific. Its publication was made possible thanks to the work of its authors, Sergio and José Antonio García Montagud, both active Torres Entomological Foundation Board and the Generalitat Valenciana (Generalitat Valenciana) through its Ministry of Environment (Ministry of Environment environment). In contemplating the new book, we find that is divided into specific files that describe individually the 159 taxa recorded in this area, reference to morphology, habitat, nutritional resources, symbiosis and other concepts of a biological nature. The book also reveals that 70% of the Iberian species of Lepidoptera are present in the community, probably due to its status as the coastal territory and its diversity of habitats.
With the contribution made by the new work, Valencia has swelled its regional database, which counts today more than half a million records, provided a reference for biologists and students from around the globe. In short, a new volume worthy of adding to the library.

Brazelian Wax Bangkok

The value of fossils: Brachiopoda.

The brachiopods are often confused by inexperienced eyes to bivalve mollusks, a group that despite its apparent similarity just no link sharing, because their origin and biology are widely disparate. Brachiopods are the righteous protagonists of this new episode of "The value of the fossils" that with this as much as four deliveries.
The Brachiopoda of the brachiopods or Animal Filo is lophotrochozoan (Lophotrochozoa) characterized by having a shell made of two movable blades. Unlike those bivalves, with which they are often confused and have two lateral leaflets more or less symmetrical, the brachiopods are endowed an upper and a lower shell, both clearly different in shape and size. Also the internal anatomy of brachiopods is property, the shell biomineralized, often anchored to the solid substrate by a muscular stalk and buried in galleries dug in the sand in less frequent cases, is held and moved by muscle groups adductors and abductors, enclosing inside the coelom, the central septum, a digestive system often devoid of open sewage and a rudimentary heart and other organs, all covered by a thick mantle. This interesting Filo
made its appearance in the early Cambrian period, for about five hundred and eighty million years, starting from the lophotrochozoan primitive early member of a long evolutionary lineage already had a double shell mineral, which decreased and even disappeared in some adaptive line immediately following, which was extinguished relatively quickly. However, had not completed the Cambrian period when brachiopods had diversified into the three major Superclasses that still remain: The Superclasses Linguliformea \u200b\u200band Craniformea, more primitive constitution, hold the valves together and moved only by the strength of your muscles, while members of the superclass Rhynchonelliformea \u200b\u200bhad a hinge at the rear end of the valves, made by a group of hinges embedded in their respective support holes, the latter also undergo a holometabolous development and lack of sewer, something that sets them apart from their relatives are not metamorphic. At present, only three are still hundreds of brachiopods in shallow aquatic environments, representing a clear edge in decline, but in the past, perhaps half a million of taxa inhabited our planet, the limes have been described more than twelve thousand.
The first example I present inhabited the shallow waters that covered the territory now occupied by Southern Europe during the Devonian period, between three sixty-four hundred and fifteen million years. This particular piece comes from the layers of Ciudad Real, which is very abundant, I mean a Rhynchonelliformea \u200b\u200bcalled Spirifer .

Spirifer sp.

the same superclass is Pygope Gender, which is rated Family Pygopidae, classified in the Superfamily Dyscolioidea which belongs to the Order and Suborder Terebratulida Terebratulidina. They girdle the species of this genus widely distributed, which are Pygope aspasia, Pygope catulloi, Pygope diphya, Pygope diphyoides Pygope and janitor.

Pygope sp.

Rhynchonellida , which is the next example of brachiopods that I offer, is a genus very prolific in their species diversity and above all very persistent over time because despite its early appearance in the period Ordovician, about four hundred fifty million years, survives even today in the form of several species, some of them quite popular in cuisine.

Rhynchonellida sp., Lower Jurassic.

Ultimately, I would like to display a well-known species in the Iberian Peninsula, in fact is present in much of Asia, Europe, North America, South America and New Zealand, its nomenclature is Spiriferina Alpine and is a member of the Order Spiriferida, particular is located in the Suborder Spiriferinidina, Family Spiriferinidae, one of the best-known family groups Spiriferinoidea Superfamily. The fossil comes from the Middle Jurassic of Teruel, Spain.

Spiriferina Alpine.

Undoubtedly, the brachiopods are a biological group still little known for science, it may be because much of its troops are already part of the fossil record.
In future dates, the fossil record of other beings in the Mirror of Science.
