Photos if the Earth was Completely Absorbed

In the era of globalization, global warming issues will be increasingly prevalent. How not, global average temperature at Earth's surface has increased by 0.74 ± 0:18 °C (1:33 ± 0:32 °F) during the last hundred years. Based on data from NOAA's National Climatic Data Center (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Affairs of the United States) in 2010 extensive glacier in the Arctic was approximately 14.7 million square kilometers. This is the impact of global warming. The most dangerous is the impact of rising sea levels caused by melting ice at the north pole and south pole. If this happens continuously, it is not impossible that this could cause the earth to sink.

Global warming is the earth's anger of the inhabitants, that we as human beings. Each of us must start from the smallest things, like planting plants around the house, keeping the surrounding environment, save energy save electricity because the electricity it will reduce air pollution from diesel propulsion, and then reduce the frequency of the motor vehicle it is not important. Have you ever imagine it would be a big flood on the earth?

I give you a visual version. Click image to enlarge



Hopefully this does not happen immediately. Since it is impossible that we live under water. it's impossible. That change begins with each of us. For that, save the earth from now on. If we do not take positive steps against global warming today, then each of us will probably be the weather refugees.

Found the Oldest Creature's Footprint in the World

The scientists reported that they had found footprint of the oldest living things on Earth. Like what?

As quoted in Indiatimes, the scientists reported that they had found the oldest footprint of living beings who have ever lived on Earth, a snail-sized one centimeter of the footprint was fossilized.

The footprint fossil was discovered in Uruguay. Age was estimated to 585 million years old.

The Footprint may be directly named as the oldest, because it's older 30 million than the oldest ancient creature (previously recorded). The study was reported in the journal Science.

Footprint of snail known as the "bilaterian" is found in Uruguay by geologists from the University of Alberta, Ernesto Pecoit and Natalie Aubet.

Evidence found is not a fossil of the animal, but the footprint is found in sedimentary rock layers.


World's Smallest Flies Have Been Found, Living in an Ant's Head

It has been found a kind of fly with a body size no larger than a grain of salt. Flies of Thailand is also had a way of life that is interesting and scary.

Body length of only 0.4 millimeters, making the fly as the record holder of the world's smallest flies, but not the smallest insect in the world, because the record is still owned by a kind of moth whose size is similar to human eggs (0.14 mm).

Although the body is super small, these flies have a way of life that is more extreme than normal flies. Their life cycle goes like this:

Beginning, they were born to be deposited on the body of an ant by their mothers. When hatched, the larvae will move in the direction of the ant's head, eat the muscle tissue of the mouth of the ant, and then devour the ant's brain. Ants who had lost brain will run without direction and without a goal for two weeks. Ant's head is then dislodged after the larvae had spent the membrane between the head and body of the ant. The larvae then settle on the severed heads of ants for 2 weeks to develop into adult flies.

luckily, we are not an ant.

5 Types Of Poisoning Foods Are Not Recognized

Every day most of us eat foods produced by plants that contain a deadly poison. So far, we are not worried about it because the production of fruit and vegetables to make sure that we are always safe, but there are times when some people are accidentally killed themselves by eating the wrong part of the plant.

To avoid any toxins found in plants are not aware of. Here are five food poisoning you should know that they are toxic:

1. CHERRY
Cherries are fruits that are very popular - used in cooking, the production of liquor, or eaten raw. These fruits are from the same family with the raisins, apricots, and peaches. All the mentioned fruits contain highly toxic substances in the leaves and seeds. Almonds are also one of the members of this family but is a special fruit that is harvested for seed taken. When crushed, chewed, or even slightly damaged, this cherry seeds will produce prussic acid (hydrogen cyanide). Next time if you eat the cherries, remember not to swallow or chew the seeds.

2. ALMOND
Almonds have a unique flavor and is very useful in cooking so that the nuts are one of the most popular ingredients in pastry kitchens for centuries. The most flavorful almonds are bitter almonds (almond opposite of "sweet"). Bitter almond has a strong odor and is very popular in some countries. But there was one problem: These nuts are full of cyanide. Prior consumed bitter almonds must be processed first, so that releasing the poison. Due to certain regulations, some states sell bitter almonds illegal (New Zealand is one of them). Heating can destroy the poison. In fact, you may not know that now has been illegal to sell raw almonds in the United States - all almonds sold are now heated to remove the traces of toxins and bacteria.

3.APPLE
Like the two previous types, apple seeds contain cyanide - but in smaller doses. Apple seeds are often eaten accidentally, so that you do not feel sick try not to eat much less in quantity.

4. POTATO
Potatoes contain toxic to the stems and leaves - and even within the potato itself if left to the green (green color caused by high concentration of glycoalkaloid poison). Potato poisoning is rare, but this happens from time to time. Death usually comes after a prolonged weakness and dizziness, followed by a comma. Most cases of death by potatoes during the last fifteen years in the United States is by eating green potatoes or drinking potato leaf tea.

5. TOMATO
The leaves and stems of tomato plants contain a chemical called "Glycoalkaloid" that causes extreme nervousness and stomach upsets. In addition, the leaves and stems can be used in cooking to enhance flavor, but both must be removed before eating. Cooking this way is not sufficient to remove toxins but can make a big difference in taste. Finally, to enhance the flavors of tomato, sprinkle a little sugar on it.The leaves and stems of tomato plants contain a chemical called "Glycoalkaloid" that causes extreme nervousness and stomach upsets.

Sleeping in class to make a smart brain

Asleep in class after listening to the subject matter was not always negative. Instead, sleep in the classroom appeared to have a function as a facilitator of learning.

The claim was revealed in a study published in the journal Public Library of Science One.

The team of researchers from the University of Notre Dame, Indiana, discovered a fact that sleeping after receiving lessons in the classroom makes the digestive system information becomes easier.

They conducted a series of tests on 208 students who used to sleep for 6 hours every night. They provide a series of word pairs that are connected, such as fire and smoke, or words that really are not related as insects and lies.

Afterwards they were asked to memorize the words to a different time. some study at 9 am, while the other at 9 pm.

Researchers then tested the ability of their memory with different rest periods, between 30 minutes, 12 hours to 24 hours.

In the first 30 minutes, the results obtained from all participants are not too different, but after the break for 12 hours, including sleep at night, memories of the participants of the pairs which are not related to increased quite good.

Furthermore, the students were given time off for 24 hours before being given the test a second time.

At this time, those who slept after learning and memorizing word pairs get better grades in both categories. Thus, researchers concluded that sleep after learning or receive new information is very useful for one's memory.

"Our study confirms that sleep after learning something new is very useful for memory," said Jessica Payne, a psychologist involved in the study.
