Illegal wildlife trade campaign enlists tourists

Link: http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-36226312

Summary:

The United Nations estimates the illegal trade is worth billions of pounds each year.

Conservationists have launched a global campaign asking the public to help tackle the illegal trade in wildlife.

In recent years, there has been a resurgence in the poaching of threatened species, raising concern about the long-term survival of iconic animals such as tigers and rhinos.

Opinion:

I am against killing animals just to make a few simple bags or other things for our need. What we are doing is killing an animal because we want be happy.

We can see, Sadly, animals are being illegally killed or taken from the wild around the world to be sold for traditional medicines, luxury food, horns or other parts, restaurant dishes, fashion items or pets.

Fossils shed light on 'bizarre' reptile

Link: http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-36195167

Summary:

 

The scientists found out two specimens of Atopodentatus unearthed in China reveal details of the animal's skull and how it fed.

A crocodile-sized creature that lived 242 million years ago was the first known vegetarian marine reptile, according to new fossil evidence also the scientists say its hammer-shaped skull helped it to feed on underwater plants.

 

Opinion:

 

I think science has greatly increased and this has helped us get where we are now.
Science is the mother of all things, through it we can know how many years have passed since the death of crocodile species or  happened after and before that.

 

Curiosity Mars Rover Crosses Rugged Plateau

Summery:

Mars rover has nearly finished crossing a stretch the roughness of the terrain raised concern that driving on it could be especially damaging to Curiosity's wheels. Holes and tears in the rover's aluminum wheels became noticeable in 2013. The rover team responded by adjusting the long-term traverse route, revising how local terrain is assessed and refining how drives are planned. Extensive Earth-based testing provided insight into wheel longevity.

 
Opinion:

There are hypotheses that attempt to deny the veracity of the Martian NASA missions, specifically what we try to explain these hypotheses is that robots NASA (called Rover) are not on Mars but on Earth, it's all a farce very prepared to pass unnoticed as true, and the reasons for this arrangement would hiding the truth, the truth guess would be that humanity needs not travel to Mars or other more distant planets at least for the sole purpose of finding alien life or study elements for life, because NASA maintains contact with alien life decades ago, and finally, that's what counts in many parts.

Barcelona record

News

Summary:

Barcelona can extend today to 12 his winning streak in the league if he can beat Getafe in the Nou Camp. One more win and equal the record of 12 set by Tito Vilanova in the 2102-2013 season and will have two ahead. The Rijkaard in the 2005-2006 season and the record set by Pep Guardiola in 2010-2011.

The Iberian lynx

News

Summary:

The Iberian lynx has managed to take a step towards survival. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has published today the update of the Red List of endangered (en perill) species. And the lynx, which for three decades is undergoing a recovery program Life passes from the category of "critically endangered" to "endangered" to dry.

Late last century, lynx grazed extinction. That was when the plan was launched Iberlince, the Life project with more funds across the European Union.

Opinion:

The endangered animals are many and every day there are more, because the cancer of the planet continues and nobody can stop it, or rather, no one wants.It is almost late for cure but who begins to cure if all are the disease, "the Human Being" the worst cancer of the planet, the animal eats, and uses what it needs as a natural resources and are not wasted. We install us in a place we reproduce ourselves and we eat all and spend all resources and after that we have to immigrate elsewhere gain sufficient assurance with the same destroying and avarice, without thinking about those who will come after.

Soon we'll be the endangered animals think of this way.

Fossil reptile discovery ' something extraordinary'

News

Summary:

The reptile lived just after a mass extinction event 252 million years ago that was thought to have been triggered by a string of volcanic eruptions.
The reptile and its close relatives the archosauriformes  became the dominant animals on land and eventually gave rise to the dinosaurs.
Dr Felipe Pinheiro from Universidade Federal do Pampa is among the scientists from three Brazilian universities who discovered the well-preserved fossil skull (crani) near the southern city of São Francisco de Assis. He said that the discovery of Damajagua was really exciting
They study the anatomy (anatomia) of this reptiles and they said that is somewhere between that of more primitive reptiles and the archosauriformes, which include all dinosaurs and pterosaurs (flying reptiles), along with modern day birds and crocodiles.

Opinion: 
Science is a body of knowledge that help us understand and find out how our world works.

Knowing the why of natural phenomena, the functioning of living organisms, etc. It allows us to change processes and operations in order to improve our existence.
With science, we managed to replace our lack of instincts to adapt and survive because although we have no claws to hunt or a shield to defend ourselves we can replace those failures by other tools.

We managed to transform matter into energy and use it to improve our quality of life. We detect diseases and drugs to cure them create, invent materials that resist and adapt to certain environments and extreme situations and adapt to live in inhospitable places or places with continuous risk of earthquakes.
Thanks to advances in science and technology, man dominates the world and nature to the point of trying to create life laboratory life that will serve humanity and to science to move forward.


As we could see in this news the scientists was able to  find and study the reptile that they discovered and to compare with the other species, and thanks to this things I could say : that the science improved a lot.

News ( Pluto)

Summary:

This news talk about the moons of Pluto and they inform that  they managed an image of Kerberos, one of the two tiny moons of Pluto, has finally been returned by the US space agency's New Horizons probe.
It shows the object to have two lobes, which may be the consequence of icy bodies bumping into each other and joining up.
Kerberos's larger lobe is judged to be about 8km across. The smaller lobe is roughly 5km in diameter.


Opinion: 

Thanks National Aeronautics and Space Administration ( NASA)  is a US organization which is responsible  of space, space programs , ships, planes ... everything you need to know our planet and the universe around us .

We have discovered some of the great secrets of this wonderful world we have and small part of the other galaxies through aronautic ships , is not ugly like others say, is an advanced way to discover the world of physics.

As we have seen before, NASA was able to find another star that belongs to Pluto that is a planet that is millions of millions of kilometers of the Earth.

Lakes expanding 'dangerously' in Everest glacier

News ( Lakes)

Summary:

The accelerated meltdown of glaciers in the region is causing concern against a backdrop of rising global temperatures.
Scientists say the warning is the first of its kind for Khumbu, although other glaciers in the Himalayas have seen an increase in the number of lakes formed.

Dr Rowan's team has been studying the behaviour of debris-covered glaciers and they said:
"At present, the glacier appears to be disintegrating, and may form a few large and potentially hazardous lakes on the glacier surface." 
"The worrisome thing is that if the process continues, then there will be a new glacial lake to worry about in a populated and heavily used valley," he said.

Opinion:

I was thinking about that and I arrive  in to conclusions:

Normal Conditions:

The Earth is surrounded by a layer of invisible gases called the atmosphere or air. These gases are utilized by animals and plants. Moreover, the atmosphere retains the warmth of the sun , but it prevents us from harmful radiation reaches its rays . The atmosphere even has a role in the fact that rivers and oceans are full of water: the air contains water vapor falls as rain or snow , and that contributes water to rivers and oceans ; of the water of the seas and rivers evaporates and returns to the air , thus establishing a continuous recycling . All living things depend on the air.

Bad conditions:

Pollution adds certain gases in the atmosphere and decomposes others. This does change the fragile balance of the air. Gases such as carbon monoxide, harmful to human health if we breathe large quantities. Other gases are not harmful to human beings , but instead alter the balance of the environment . Air pollution can lead to climate change and the loss of the protective gas atmosphere provide the planet.

If we alter the ratio of gases in the atmosphere , threatening life on Earth .

In short, we can see that the bad conditions have made that the Glaciar of  this place can be dangerous for anyone who lives there.

The milk

News ( Lactasa)

Summary:

 Dr Llamas and colleagues found Europeans descended from three groups: Stone-Age hunter-gatherers, farmers that migrated from Anatolia (modern-day Turkey), and nomadic herders that migrated west from the Great Steppe in Russia.

For this study, the researchers analysed patterns in the genomes of these groups to look at how human traits had changed since the advent of agriculture in Europe around 8,500 years ago.

One of the most surprising findings related to the emergence of the genetic mutation that enables humans to drink raw milk.

This mutation enables the enzyme lactase, which digests lactose in milk, to remain active long after weaning occurs.

This enzime allows to break the link between glucose and galactose to get energy.

Opinion:
Lactase is an enzyme produced in the small intestine and which is synthesized during childhood of all mammals . Its action is essential in the process of converting lactose double sugar ( disaccharide ) , its components glucose and galactose . Lactase is produced in the brush border of the cells lining the intestinal villi .

It belongs to the family of disaccharidases , which are enzymes that are responsible for breaking disaccharides into monosaccharides that form . The lack of lactase originated lactose intolerance , which is a relatively common , especially in elderly anomaly.
I think that we need to drink milk when we are samll and when we grow up we need to leave it.

Selena Gomez

News (Selena Gomez)

Summary:

Singer Selena Gomez would be open to a relationship with an older man.

The 23-year-old, who previously dated Justin Bieber, 21, admits she would like to experience a romance with a more mature man in a new interview, but she worries her youthful looks would hamper her love plans.

Well she is bigger than he , already has 23 years, but she says that she want to have a relationship with him.

Opinion:

I think selena gomez can have a relationship with anyone who wants it, nobody can prevent that Selena Gomez has a ralation with another person that she loves, this is his life and not the life of the others.

All says that love has no age ,and that anyone can maintain a relation with a person who want .

Now it has opened a polemic on that Selena Gomez is in love with a boy who have 21 when she have 23 years.

In short, nobody has the right to discriminate against anyone who fall in love especially the girls .

Tarantulas evolved blue color " at least eight times"

News ( Tarantulas)

Summary:

Tarantulas have evolved almost exactly the same shade of vibrant blue at least eight separate times.
That is the conclusion of a study by US biologists, exploring how the colour is created in different tarantula species.

This colour was created by tiny structures inside the animals hair. The scientist said that this colour didn't has created by the natural selection.

Given their relatively simple eyes, it is doubtful that tarantulas can distinguish this shade of blue from any other colour.

That is one of the reasons that sexual selection seems unlikely - by contrast with some other spiders, which have remarkably good vision and put on very colourful courtship displays, such as the mesmerising peacock spider.

Opinion :

I am very surprised because I could see that there were tarantulas blue and what makes it so your hair is not natural selection. Also today science has increased in a surprising way and this helps improve humanity 's conditions of life and can find out more about the world which surrounds us.

Oarfish

Summary:
Tyler Dvorak with the Catalina Island Conservancy spied the carcass while scanning a beach on the northeastern end of Catalina with binoculars on June. He found a Oarfish, deep-sea lifestyle makes it difficult to study, so any opportunity to do so is welcome. 

Opinion:

I think we were very lucky to have found Oarfish, because their living conditions makes it much more difficult to observe and fishing.

What you should do is study it and see what are the things that stand out more in it to attract more and be able to catch them .

New test detects drug use from a single fingerprint

Summary:

In the University of Surrey, a team of researchers from the Dutch Forensic Institute have demonstrated a new non-invasive test that can detect cocaine through a single fingerprint. For the first time, this new method of fingerprinting can determine whether the cocaine was ingested, rather than just touched.

Also have used this method for other parts of body, for example the saliva or others.

In this process the scientists use analytical chemistry technique known as mass spectrometry. 

 Opinion:

 I think that this is a very good idea because we could find the people who take a drug and we can give them a fine.

Also, when we perform this technique we could avoid the people take drugs and the world would be safe.

Scientists study the interaction of the solar wind and Earth's Atmosphere from Norway

Source News

SUMMARY

The NASA work in one experiment consist in build satellite, and Norway is the ideal place to conduct the experiment to increase the understanding of the interaction of the solar wind with the Earth's upper atmosphere.

This mission requires the deployment of 24 individual canister sub-payloads. Each canister, containing barium and strontium(two elements), the expriment will be propelled away from the main payload by small rocket motors and produce colorful vapor clouds between the altitude of 93 and 248 miles over the Greenland Sea west of Svalbard, Norway. Is very importan for explain better the relation with the sun and the earth.

MY OPINION

This experiment is important because the scientists will can understanding the relacion of solar wind with the Earth's Atmosphere.I think this because this experiment will give other information with the sun and Atmosphere of the Earth, and we have a lot of new knowledge.The human being is extraordinary because he get understand the Earth,the sun and the solar system.I am surprised for the excellent work do the NASA.
