Bike riding Frog!
2008-03-07 05:19:00
A Thai woman claims that her pet frog enjoys riding toy motorcycles and can predict winning lottery numbers. Tongsai Boommrungtai, 52, came across Nong Oui, the black spotted frog, outside her house in Roi-Et."The frog had a small chick in its mouth," she said. "I looked her straight in the eye and knew I could communicate with her. I told her to drop the chick and she did and then came hopping in. Ever since she has been a member of the family.Tongsai said that there is nothing more that the frog likes than to chill out on her toy Harley-Davison, or a battery operated dumper truck. But she can strike a pose just about anywhere.She claims that ten people subsequently won the lottery. But when it drew crowds to the house, they started losing. For a long time villagers would come round and get tips on the National Lottery with the frog's help. They used to read the skin on her stomach and look for numbers.

Aromatherapy is not Effective!
2008-03-06 17:53:00
A news study in Ohio State University reveals that aromatherapy may help your mood, may relax you, but doesn’t do much for your better health. Researchers at Ohio State University tested the supposed stress-relieving and healing properties of two of the most popular aromatherapy scents: lavender and lemon.During the study, 56 healthy volunteers were exposed to both scents. Researchers taped cotton balls laced with either lemon oil, lavender oil or distilled water below the volunteers’ noses for the duration of the tests. Participants were monitored for blood pressure and heart rate during the experiments. Also, the researchers took series of blood samples from each volunteer.The researchers reported that while lemon oil showed a clear mood enhancement, lavender oil did not. Moreover, neither smell had any positive impact on any of the biochemical markers for stress, pain control or wound healing. This is a shocking result for health and beauty companies.The study was supported i...

Artificial Flood in Grand Canyon
2008-03-06 05:25:00
On Wednesday, U.S. authorities started a man-made flood in the Grand Canyon in an attempt to restore the canyon's ecosystem. Three hundred thousand gallons (1,135,623 liters) of water per second gush from Arizona's Glen Canyon Dam during a media event on Wednesday. Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne pulled a lever releasing water from the Glen Canyon Dam, which regulates the flow of the Colorado River. He said the flooding is meant to help redistribute sediment deposits to rebuild beaches downstream.Completed in 1963, the Glen Canyon Dam did away with the river's natural spring floods and generally caused the water to become cooler and clearer, sending some native fish species to extinction.But, the superintendent of Grand Canyon National Park, Steve Martin fears there are non-environmental motives for this artificial flooding. He said to a newspaper that the timing was designed to please hydroelectric power producers. Link

Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, a NASA spacecraft in orbit around Mars has taken the first ever image of active avalanches near the Red Planet's north pole. Take a look at the amazing picture above. It was taken on February 19th, 2008. The orbiter's HiRISE (High Resolution Imaging Experiment) camera took this image when it was checking for springtime changes in the carbon-dioxide frost covering a northern dune field."We don't know what set off these landslides," says Patrick Russell of the University of Berne, Switzerland, a HiRISE team collaborator. "We plan to take more images of the site through the changing Martian seasons to see if this kind of avalanche happens all year or is restricted to early spring." Link

World's first Sail powered merchant ship

Take a look at the image! This is World's first merchant ship powered by a giant kite! It speeds across the seas with the help of a breeze, just like the 19th century ships. The MS Beluga SkySail s, which set off on its maiden voyage from Bremen to Venezuela on Tuesday, is fitted with a giant computerised kite which soars far above the decks of the 10,000-ton ship.On a favourable day the giant kite can provide up to 35 per cent of the vessel's power, according to its creators. If the £400,000 kite or sail lives up to its billing, it will save the Beluga's operators 900lb of fuel a day, and take a slice out of the 800million tons of greenhouse gases the world's merchant fleet belches into the sky each year.Niels Stolberg, chief executive of German based Beluga Ship ping which helped create the technology, said: "It's important to look at the commercial side of this, the saving fuel costs, but also the CO2 aspect.

Self-portrait of orbiting astronaut
2008-01-23 12:09:00
Interesting photo? On this self-portrait of astronaut Clay Anderson, the space helmet reflects earth. It was taken by the astronaut during the shuttle orbiter Endeavour's mission to expand the space station last August. The large curvature of the Earth appearing in the visor reflection is not the true curvature of our spherical Earth, but rather an artifact of the curve of the space helmet. Earth's horizon appears only slightly curved when viewed from the height of the International Space Station -- approximately 400 kilometers.

Heath Ledger , the Australian actor who earned an Academy Award nomination for his turn as a stubbornly taciturn gay ranch hand in "Brokeback Mountain", was found dead Tuesday in a Manhattan apartment, New York police said.

Police sources told The New York Times Tuesday that sleeping pills were found near Mr. Ledger's body, leading them to suspect suicide or an accidental overdose as the cause of death. The medical examiner's office planned an autopsy Wednesday, a spokeswoman said.Ledger was nominated for a best actor Oscar for "Brokeback Mountain," a 2005 film about two cowboys who fall in love. Ledger's roles also include the suicidal son of Billy Bob Thornton in "Monster's Ball," and he had starring roles in "A Knight's Tale" and "The Patriot." Link

Atlantis launch delayed again
2007-12-30 08:02:00
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) said that it has once again delayed the launch of the US space shuttle Atlantis . So Atlantis won't fly on January 10. Yet, no new launch date has been announced by NASA.Faulty fuel gauges on the spacecraft's liquid hydrogen tank has already forced several postponements of the launch that was initially scheduled for December 6. Until Thursday, the target launch date was January 10. But NASA said in a statement that even that date was "no longer achievable."The conclusion came after managers of the shuttle program met Thursday to assess the progress made in efforts to find a solution to the sensor problem."Instrumentation installed for the tanking test indicate that there are one or more intermittent open circuits in the area of the feed through connector on the external tank's liquid hydrogen tank," the statement said.The Atlantis crew of seven is preparing for an 11-day mission to carry the European Columbus laboratory to t...

Gene that controls Brain size
2007-12-29 09:49:00
A team of scientists in Edinburgh have identified a gene that controls the size of the brain. This finding will give an insight into what it means to be human. Humans have extraordinarily large and complex brains, compared with our close relatives. Scientists have found that, when the newly identified gene is faulty, the brain and body shrinks as a result.Andrew Jackson of the Medical Research Counci, MRC, Human Gene tics Unit, Edinburgh and colleagues at the MRC Genome Damage And Stablity Centre studied families who have members with Seckel syndrome, which retards growth in the womb, leading to short stature and a markedly reduced brain size (microcephaly).They report in the journal Nature Genetics that small brain size is linked to faults in a gene called PCNT and find that this gene works with another gene linked to the condition, called ATR, which is involved in DNA repair.The PCNT gene is responsible for the manufacture in the body of a protein called pericentrin, a component of...
