Frog can detect earthquake

In 2009, the number of frogs in L'Aquila, Italy disappeared from the local pools, three days before the big quake.

Ms. Grant, a biologist from the Open University, observed the colony of frogs in L'Aquila as part of his research.

"It's very dramatic," he said. "96 frogs disappear within three days. After that I was contacted by NASA, "he added.

Together scientists from the U.S. space agency, they studied the chemical changes that occur when rocks in the earth experienced a big tekakan. They also were investigating whether the change is related to the mass exodus of frogs.

According to experts, geophysics, Friedemann Freund, said the rocks in the earth's crust is under great pressure, removing the particles. Particles released in the air when it reaches Earth's surface into the air molecules called ions.

These chemical changes can affect the dissolved organic matter in the water and makes the material is toxic to animals that live in water. That is the cause of animals such as frogs can detect strange changes that occur in nature.

The mechanism is complex and scientists say the process needs to be examined more carefully.

In line with Freund, the hypothesis the researchers (in a report published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health) said that the rocks in the crust of the Earth issued a charged particle, before the earthquake and this affects the water.

Scientists estimate that frogs can detect these changes before the tectonic plates shifted. Dr. Freund said the attitude of these animals can be one of a number of things that can be used as evidence of the earthquake.

"Once we understand all these signals and see there are four or five clues that lead to the same thing, then we can expect something to happen," says Dr. Freund, as quoted by the BBC Nature.

Animals are more sensitive to symptoms that occur in nature. We as humans still have much to learn in nature. This is evidence of how great God's creation, is not it?

Full village Twins

Siapa pun mungkin kesulitan mengenali anak-anak di Desa Kodinhi, Kerala, India. Sebab, sedikitnya ada 100 pasang anak kembar terlahir di desa tersebut. Dua puluh pasang di antaranya mengenyam pendidikan di sekolah menengah yang sama, yakni Seethi Sahib Memorial, Distrik Malappuram.

No wonder the teachers at the school were given an additional task to memorize his students one by one. The twenty pairs of twins were same sex and is an identical twin. The teachers are often wrong when greeting them by name. Moreover, each pair of twins, distinguishable only by parts of the hair.

One of the twins said, birthmark on the neck is one of the distinguishing them. The rest of them nearly the same.

Kodinhi Villagers also said that the majority of Muslims, the presence of twins in the village was not unusual. They would beg for the privilege granted by the Creator.

Most twins are born at the same hospital. According gynaecologist local hospital, he worked for 10 years, there were 100 to 150 twins. Five or six of them triplets. That fact gave birth to an interesting mystery to be further investigated.

Nasa UFO Back Again Successfully Capture

Actually been almost a month this mysterious object was a video circulating around the sun's surface. Images are captured by the SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory), an aircraft that launched NASA solar watchdog.

Blue Skin mystery

On some old beliefs and folklore, blue skin usually refers to the figure of the god. For example, the god Krishna in Hindu belief. Alternatively, the Egyptian god, Ammon was also depicted a blue-skinned.
Somehow, it turns blue-skinned man was real, as the following story.

In 1820, a French orphan named Martin Fugate received a grant of land in eastern Kentucky, which is known by the name of Troublesome Creek.

Martin later married an American woman, Elizabeth Smith, the red hair and very white skin, white as snow. Fugate family has 7 children, 4 of which are blue-skinned.
This family is increasing in number, as fellow members of the family Fugate married to each other. Marriage between cousins ​​are common, Fugate family also married with families of their neighbors.
These communities live in remote areas that do not have the infrastructure.
Martin children who eventually married a blue-skinned brother from their mother. Zachariah, a blue-skinned child, married the brother of the mother, and produce a combination of genes that 100 years later be the cause of the birth of Benjy Stacy with blue-purple skin color!

When family doctors are amazed to see the condition of Benjy, they explained the story of Benjy great-grandmother, the Luna Fugate. The family said Luna is a woman who was "very blue", "bluest woman who ever lived".

Why blue-skinned?
The disorder is called methaemoglobinaemia - or in short: met-H, a condition that reduces the ability to carry oxygen in the blood. As a result, the blood becomes darker than normal color.
Cases in Family Fugate possible due to marry a neighbor and close relatives that cause genetic disorders continues.

WOOOOW Flying Car Successfully Created

Fantasies about the future of flying cars (floating / floating) without wheels getting closer to reality. Manufacturer Volkswagen (VW) can be the first automotive manufacturer replied that dream.

2011 years ago there was a design contest "People's Car Project" in China. From 119 000 to enter the draft, the flying car. .... Ah, to be precise "floating car" concept is selected and the video go on display at the Beijing Auto Show carpet.

This car is designed with an electromagnetic system, zero emission and glide using special sensors to avoid collisions. Thus theweek.com publication.

Frankly, this buoyant new car a concept, has not been created for real. However, the VW is serious enough to start deploying researchers responded that they would soon be mass produced.

Rice Remains Found Incas terracing

The emergence of Monster Nessie

A man named Marcus Atkinson managed to get a sonar image shows an unidentified object that lives under water. This mysterious creature is recorded at a depth of 22.86 meters and looks, this creature has a body of nearly 1.5 meters wide.
"I sail my boat and see the sonar display these images. These objects appear bigger and I was photographed. The form is also strange, "he said.

The results of Marcus Atkinson frivolous image made ​​public. Many believe the creature is Nessie, the Loch Ness monster of the lake dwellers (Scotland) are legendary.
But experts say Nessie sightings are other types of fish, seals, or pieces of wood are believed to be evidence of the existence of this mysterious creature, as quoted by dailymail.
Responding to these objections, Marcus Atkinson says, "I have 21 years to see the various pictures and images that say it was a sighting of Nessie, but only this time I own can be a very clear picture. There was no animal or other creature of that size in this lake (Loch Ness). I was very surprised because this one is so big. Sonar images can not be faked, really. And I've never seen anything like this. "
To be sure, the tape Marcus won the award "The Best Nessie sighting of The Year Award" from William Hill.
Who is right, is still a mystery. Do you think?

The Strange Sleep Disorders

Ever heard a strange sleep disorder? This is a great knowledge for us to know, because maybe we will also experience it.

Sleep should be a moment for rest and recovery of body condition. However, individuals below even 'tortured' for sleep.
1.Sleeping Beauty

Sleeping Beauty is actually a fairy tale about the princess who falls asleep due to sleep witch poison, and can only be awakened by a kiss from a prince.
In the real world, Louisa Ball of England could practically be 'the real sleeping beauty'. However, he would not wake up as a prince. Because, any disturbance could not wake him. The most serious case, Louisa had slept without waking up to 13 days.
Louisa had a sleep disorder called Kleine-Levin Syndrome. Case in the world predicted no more than 1000 people. Patients usually live like normal people, however, at a time could sleep for days to weeks.
2. Narkolepsi

Sleep disturbance is one we often hear. Yes, narcolepsy is a condition when the sufferer can fall asleep suddenly while doing the activity.
People who suffer from narcolepsy directly into the REM state - a condition in his sleep on the way to dreamland. The result, the person can not wake up normally. He remained cool to sleep in his sleep.
3. Cataplexy

Claire Scott from Jersey, Channel Islands should not be laughing. Why? Because every mother of two children laughing, then he would immediately fall asleep.
Once upon a time, his daughter told a joke he made at school. Cla direct IRE laugh about it. What happens then? "The last thing I know, my husband moved me from the kitchen floor."
Predicted, 5 of 10,000 people in the world are likely to suffer as experienced cataplexy Claire.
4. Somnambulistic Eating

Anna Ryan never knew why her weight suddenly increased 27 kg. He began to realize and check to the doctor after feeling tired prolonged (plus a glut of course) every waking. In fact, he felt the quality of nighttime sleep is good.
After Scott Eveloff doctor examine her condition, then known that he suffered NSRED (Nocturnal Sleep-Related Eating Disorder) or also called SRED (Sleep Related Eating Disorder). That is a condition to eat much during sleep without knowing it.
Patients NSRED can drain the fridge and food spending while still in a state of deep sleep.
NSRED Besides, there is also a known NES (Night Eating Syndrome). However, be aware that NES patients are eating so they can wake up from sleep and felt weird, why all of a sudden there was no food in his mouth.

Well, people with NES and NSRED in the month of Ramadan would never feel hungry while fasting, so ... :-)

While Hole Possible Present In The Universe

You've heard the black hole? He is a dark rift in space that suck the whole thing around him and threw him into the nothingness. Now some scientists say that once there is evidence of the opposite of black holes.

The opposite of black holes, white holes or white holes do not suck objects around but spew material coming from the middle of nowhere into our universe.

Our own universe is a strange place, and the black hole is one of the most bizarre thing that is present in it. But in mathematics, black holes should be reversed, that is, there is something that spewed material, do not suck.

Quoted from Dvice, white holes operate with different modes of black holes. They suddenly appear for a short period of time. They then threw a number of material into their own universe and collapses, forming a black hole and then never appear again.

Behavior of white holes is very difficult to observe. However, researchers believe they have found one of them.

In 2005, a gamma ray had caught fire but he was not present along with the general supernova triggering a cascade of gamma-ray burst. There is a possibility, it is present due to the collapse of a white hole.

What is interesting about the white hole is the formation of their material is similar to the so-called Big Bang, or the so-called phenomenon of formation of the universe. This makes the white hole sebagal also called 'Small Bangs'.

White holes do not have the space and time coordinates are fixed and can not be detected at all. They can suddenly appear at any time, anywhere and perform their activity before disappearing again.

So far, the existence of white holes is still conjectural. However, the black hole also is alleged to exist only really known in recent decades. And as spoken by the physicist Murray Gell-Mann, whatever is not forbidden is compulsory.

That is, at least from a quantum mechanical point of view, there must be a white hole in one corner of the universe.

Most Rare Flowers In The World

According to the researchers, there are more than 270,000 kinds of flowers on our earth. Of all the manifold, there are 10 flowers that are very rare. What are they?
1. Bunga Bangkai

Corpse flower (Amorphophallus titanum) is the typical flower of Indonesia. Height can reach 180 cm and a diameter of 90 cm. Carcass of a unique flower shape as derived from the prehistoric era. Reportedly, most of these flowers in the world. With strong odors like the smell of carrion, called him an 'corpse flower'. Growing period is very rare, if it blooms only last a week.

2. Youtan Poluo

This flower is still a mystery, alias should be further investigated. Because there is no call it a scientific (Latin). Apparently, there Youtan habitat in China.
A Chinese farmer, Ding found a strange plant that grows in iron pipes, as well as someone named Lushan see any plants growing in his washing machine. That said, this flower blooms only once in 3000 years.

3. Yellow and Purple Lady Slippers

His name is nice, huh? Flower Cypripedium calceolus Latin name is a very rare species of orchids. The growth in mainland Europe, but it is hard to find. There was one who grew up on a golf course in England. So rare, so the area around the flower under police surveillance since 1917. The goal is that no one would pick up and ... do not let any stray golf balls. For those who are caught violating, imposed a fine of 5000 U.S. Dollars!

4. Ghost Orchid

Other rare species of orchids are Ghost Orchid (Epipogium aphyllum / Dendrophylax lindenii). This orchid is a leafless, it means not to use the process of photosynthesis. For it requires a certain mold to be absorbed by the roots to absorb food.
Ghost Orchid can be found in the forests of Cuba, and other varieties also exist in Florida. Bloom between June to August, low growing near the soil surface, and the sudden appearance seemed to float in the trunk. Because that's called a ghost orchid (Ghost Orchid).

5. Kadupul Flower

Epiphyllum oxypetalum Latin name, we call it Kadupul, originally from Sri Lanka and has spiritual significance for Buddhists. Unique, blooms only at night and at dawn came wilted.

6. Koki’o

Now we go to Hawaii. there is a unique flower that is Koki'o or Kokai cookei. Discovered since 1860, rates are hard to breed. So that no word had been extinct in 1950.
20 years later rumored to have interest Koki'o is still alive, but again there was a fire in 1978 destroyed the population of trees 10-11 meters tall Koki'o this. Fortunately, no one can be saved and is now distributed to 23 separate places in Hawaii.

7. Chocolate Cosmos

Native flower of Mexico that has been extinct in the wild for over 100 years old. However, the species is to survive as a single clone are sterilized in 1902. The flowers are dark brown with a diameter of about 3-4 cm. As the name suggests, Chocolate Cosmos emit the scent of vanilla in the summer.

8. Parrot’s Beak

Classified as a very rare flower since 1884, and is believed to have been extinct in the wild, although some believe may still be alive.
This plant comes from the Canary Islands. In 2008, experiments have been conducted to see if the Latin name Lotus flower berthelotii can find new pollinators, but, reportedly have not been successful.

9. The Jade Vine

The Jade Vine (Strongylodon macrobotrys) color is attractive, blue-green flower-shaped claw-like (or like a banana). These flowers are pollinated by bats hanging upside down over a cup of nectar.
These flowers are now increasingly rare, hardly seen again in the wild and are believed to be threatened by deforestation in the Philippines.

10. Campion

Scientific name Silene tomentosa. Only found in Gibraltar, Campion once considered extinct by the scientific community in 1992, when all traces of plants disappeared. Then in 1994, a single specimen was found by a climber high on the cliffs of Gibraltar.
This discovery immediately bred at the Millennium Seed Bank (plant conservation project in the world) and now is now growing at the Gibraltar Botanic Gardens Almeda, and at the Royal Botanic Gardens, London.

Bursts of Water From the Well 2 Meter

There is a well in the village Tuhala, Estonia it is only 2.5 meters but can shoot up to hundreds of liters of water, and flooded the surrounding environment.

How could this happen? It turned out that the well is located directly above an underground river. When heavy rains, the water in the river has become full. Due to the pressure that occurs, the water gushing through the well.

In addition, the water that overflows also occur due to snow melt in spring. This event does not happen every day, but several times a year. Because of this, many tourists come to see this miracle.

The name of this well: Witch Well, or wells witches. Apparently the locals believe the witches Tuhala often met in the well. They often make a fuss when gathered, and forget the impact to the earth's surface. Finally the water was overflowing, creating flooding.

Most Colorful River

This River (Crystal River / Cano Cristales) located in the mountains of Serrania de la Macarena, Columbia. To reach this place there is no modern vehicles that can be used (except for helicopters, perhaps?). So, should use a horse, donkey, or the least expensive: on foot.

The beauty of Crystal River usually occurs during the transition season (transition) between the months of September-November, the river is to be colorful. Why is that? The amount of algae in water that produces vibrant colors ranging from the most dominant: red, to green, blue, yellow, just like a rainbow.

Because of the beauty of the colors that appear on this river, the Crystal River earned the nickname "River Five Colors", the other called "The Liquid Rainbow" and "The River That Ran Away From Paradise".

Mammoth there is a blonde and want to be cloned

There are unique from the latest discovery of fossils of mammoths in Siberia. In addition to his body is still preserved intact, ancient animals that live in the ice age has blond hair slightly pink (strawberry blonde).
Yuka, the name of the juvenile mammoth fossil, discovered in a cliff frozen in Siberia, according to scientists, Yuka provide important insight into the secrets of animal shaped like a giant elephant that has not been known, such as hair and eye color.
Scientists who examined the body Yuka discover many mysteries. Body fossils, for example, shows early humans allegedly stole the rest of the carcass after death Yuka lion predation. It is known from injuries consistent with the mammoth body is strongly suspected in the attack and singa.Jika human right, the findings will be the first evidence of interaction between the mammoth and ancient human ever found in the area tersebut.Yuka estimated three to four years old when he died and still have the foot pads and the hair that grows between them. Scientists estimate Yuka buried in ice for more than 10 thousand years. Yuka's body following an injury suffered in a well preserved es.Kevin Campbell, professor of environmental physiology and evolution at the University of Manitoba, Canada, said the most striking thing about Yuka is a strawberry-blond hair.

"Mammoth-mammoth previously had darker hair. There was a possibility of mammoth hair a lighter color in 2006 when the scientists analyzed the genes of the bone, "said Campbell.

He said that fossil findings Yuka will help experts determine the presence of eye and hair color variation among populations of mammoths.
Daniel Fisher, professor of earth and environmental sciences at the University of Michigan, United States, said there is dramatic evidence of a life and death struggle between Yuka and a top predator. "Even more interesting, there is evidence that early humans might take over the murder of Yuka," said dia.Yuka ivory hunters first discovered in Siberia. The fossil was later taken over by Mammuthus organization, allowing the experts to begin to analyze it.
Intention of raising Mammoth
Campbell has also published a giant elephant hemoglobin genetic code is a few years ago. "It is rare to find specimens that are still incomplete as the discovery of a baby mammoth Lyuba in 2007. Surely this would be a boon for researchers, because it will help them connect the morphological traits that we can see with the genotype (DNA sequence). "Such information could help reveal whether the mammoth had all the same color hair as manusia.In fact, reportedly no intention to revive it through the process of cloning mammoths.
Campbell himself seems to support that goal, saying "maybe we can make important new discoveries in biotechnology."
Bernard Buigues of the scientific organization "Mammuthus" was revealed, "I will not oppose if there be a mammoth that lived in the (a) park of the future."

Tim Walker, producer and director of a show at the BBC told Discovery News that cloning a mammoth can take many tahun.Kemudian, if it happens, if later mammoth that life is not lonely?
"Yes, it's mammoth communal animals," said Walker.

Well, then later Jurassic Park would be true, then?
