Soqotra Island

Socotra also called Soqotra, is a small archipelago of four islands in the Indian Ocean.The name Socotra is derived from a Sanscrit name, meaning "The Island of Bliss". Archipelago Cokotra (Socotra) in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Africa can rightly be widely regarded as one of the strangest places on earth. The archipelago is unlike anything else and it seems that you were somewhere on another planet. It is believed that the archipelago has been isolated from mainland Africa, 6 - 7 million years, which affected its flora and fauna.It had long been a part of the 'Adan Governorate, but in 2004 it became attached to the Hadhramaut Governorate, which is in much greater proximity to the island than' Adan

The climate is harsh, hot and dry, and yet - the most amazing plant life thrives there. Situated in the Indian Ocean 250 km from Somalia and 340 km from Yemen, the wide sandy beaches rise to limestone plateaus full of caves (some 7 kilometers in length) and mountains up to 1525 meters high. 


Imagine waking up on the Socotra Island and taking a good look around you (let's say your buddies pulled a prank on you and delivered you there, and lets also assume that you don't have any hangover from abuse of any substances). After a yelp of disbelief, you'd be inclined to think you were transported to another planet - or traveled to another era of Earth's history. 

The second would be closer to the truth for this island, which is part of a group of four islands, has been geographically isolated from mainland Africa for the last six or seven million years. Like the Galapagos Islands, this island is teeming with 700 extremely rare species of flora and fauna, a full third of which are endemic, ie found nowhere else on Earth. 

Alien-looking plants: HP Lovecraft's secret inspiration?
Was the famous Chtulhu myths creator aware of these forbidding mountains with their hauntingly weird flora (think of plant mutations from his "The Color out of Space")? We almost tempted to call Socotra the other "Mountains of Madness" - the trees and plants of this island were preserved thru the long geological isolation, some varieties being 20 million years old.

We begin with the dracena cinnibaris or Dragon's Blood Tree, the source of valuable resin for varnishes, dyes, and "cure-all" medicine; also (predictably) used in medieval ritual magic and alchemy. The branches spread out into the sky and from below appear to hover over the landscape like so many flying saucers,and from above they have a distinct mushroom look:


There is also the Desert Rose (adenium obesium) which looks like nothing so much as a blooming elephant leg.It also has a distinct personality and likes to smile for the camera.



Somewhat similar to the weird Dorstenia gigas, is this "bucha" vegetable, found as far north as Croatia. I hope it's not pregnant with anything malignant inside this sack. John Wyndham (with his "The Day of the Triffids") would've loved it.

Also found in Socotra's landscape is the ever-strange and extremely rare Cucumber Tree (dendrosicyos socotranum) - and yes, it's related to what's sitting in a pickle jar in your fridge.


The world's biggest eye to watch the sky


Coinciding with the celebration of its 50th anniversary, the European Southern Observatory(ESO) has launched the construction of the telescope optical / infrared world's largest. The European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT) is a segmented mirror telescope 39.3 meters in diameter, located in Cerro Armazones (Chile), and will begin science operations early next decade. According to its proponents, will cover an area of ​​sky about one tenth the size of the full Moon. Be four to five times larger than the current state of the art facilities of this type, bringing together about 15 times more light.



The piece the longer it takes to design and build complex adaptive mirror will be the M4, which will be about 2.5 meters in diameter, but a thickness of only 2 mm, allowing its deformation as if it were a flexible sheet . M4 is responsible for correcting both the effects produced by atmospheric turbulence as the wind on the telescope structure. Once installed, this extraordinary deformable mirror to the E-ELT will reach the theoretical maximum for resolution.

Thus, and E-ELT will become "the world's biggest eye to watch the sky" and address some of the greatest scientific challenges of our time, including tracking of planets like Earth around other stars in the "habitable zones" where life could exist. Also perform "stellar archeology" in nearby galaxies. It also used to investigate the nature of dark matter and dark energy.

ESO is the foremost intergovernmental astronomy organization in Europe and the most productive astronomical observatory in the world. Fifteen countries support this institution: Germany, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Denmark, Spain, Finland, France, Holland, Italy, Portugal, the United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Sweden and Switzerland. ESO is the European partner of another revolutionary astronomical telescope ALMA, the most ambitious astronomical project development.

The Electric Aircraft Future of the sky

Well think about Petrol, Diesel, Coal, Kerosene. What all of these have in common..? The answer is they all are getting too old and wont be alive much longer. So what's gonna give life to our Bikes, Cars, Trains, Aircrafts..? The Life Saver is Electricity!!
Lets Know About the Future of the Sky:

An electric plane could be significantly less expensive to operate than a conventional aircraft. A 200-mile electric-powered flight in a single-engine personal plane would consume about $20 of electricity, compared with about $80 worth of aviation-grade gasoline, and an electric motor has only one moving part, so it would be largely maintenance-free.
The EADS Group has benefited from the Paris Air Show to showcase its electric aircraft concept, dubbed VoltAir, which could emerge within a couple of years.

Use of batteries capable of storing a high density of electricity per kilogram, and motors made of materials with superconducting properties at high temperature, to decrease Power Consumption.

Superconductivity is a characteristic of some materials under certain conditions. They lose all electrical resistance, which allows a very economical operation.

Industrial uses are still very rare, because the phenomenon occurs only at very low temperatures. But researchers are on the trail of new materials that would remove this obstacle. EADS expects the hypothesis that "high-temperature superconducting motors" will reach a power density of 7-8 kW / kg with electrical losses near zero.
Regarding the batteries, the group relies on the maturity of technologies lithium-air and lithium-sulfur in the next 20 years. They could reach an energy storage density than 1000 Wh / kg, which would multiply the current performance by at least two.

Innovative Electrical Energy Generation

A new research in Leeds says that it can be possible now to capture Kinetic Energy that soldiers produce while marching and it can be converted to electrical energy.




This will help soldiers to reduce the weight of their bags up to 10 Kg. as they don't require to carry batteries anymore to charge their electronic equipments.

The cost of this project is around $1.64 million which will be funded by Engineering and Physical Science Research Council (EPSRC) and Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL).

An Exoplanet Made of Water

Forty light years from Earth is a huge planet made mostly of water and surrounded by a dense vapor atmosphere. The composition of this strange world of water has been analyzed by a team of researchers from the Harvard-Smithsonian using the Hubble Space Telescope or NASA.

This water planet, called GJ1214b, was discovered in 2009 and is the first known with these characteristics. "It's unlike any planet known so far," says Zachory Berta, author of the paper, "much of their mass is made of water." In addition, scientists have explained that due to high pressures and temperatures, this exoplanent could form such exotic materials hot as ice or water superfluid.

Scientists have used the time when GJ1214b crossed in front of its star since the light thereof, to be filtered through the atmosphere, can reveal the composition of the gases which contain it. The results, published in The Astrophysical Journal, have confirmed that the thick fog that covers the fog exoplanet was not simple, but water vapour.

The diameter of this water planet is nearly three times that of the Earth , and seven times its mass. Astronomers have estimated that this super-Earth has a density of about 2 grams per cubic centimeter,
much lower than that of Earth, indicating that GJ1214b much more water and less rocks on our planet.

Heart Attacks Due to Drinking Cold Water


The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals, not cold water, maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating.
For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is very Harmful to have Cold Drink/Water during a meal. because, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this ‘sludge’ reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer . It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

French fries and Burgers are the biggest enemy of heart health. A coke after that gives more power to this demon. Avoid them for your Heart’s Health

Heart Attacks Due to Drinking Cold Water

Heart Attacks Due to Drinking Cold Water
Common Symptoms Of Heart Attack

Carrots used to be Purple

We All know the color of carrots. But did you know that Carrots used to be purple..? Yes it used to be. Before the 17th century, almost all carrots cultivated were purple.



The modern day orange carrot wasn’t cultivated until Dutch growers in the late 16th century took mutant strains of the purple carrot, including yellow and white carrots and gradually developed them into the sweet, plump, orange variety we have today.

Before this, pretty much all carrots were purple with mutated versions occasionally popping up including the yellow and white carrots. These however were rarely cultivated and lacked the purple pigment anthocyanin, which gave carrots back then their distinctive purple color.

It is thought that the modern day orange carrot was developed by crossing the mutated yellow and white rooted carrots as well as varieties of wild carrots, which are quite distinct from cultivated carrots.






Cloud Covered Island

Litla Dimun is a small island between the islands of Suouroy and Stora Dimun in the Faroe Islands. It is the smallest of the main 18 islands, being less than 100 hectares (250 acres) in area, and is the only one uninhabited. One of the most striking feature of this island is that it often remains covered in clouds. This type of cloud is known as Lenticular clouds, so called because it is shaped like a lens. Lenticular clouds are always stationary and when formed over mountain peaks or islands, like Litla Dimun, looks like a majestic hat.

A Biodegradable plastic from Garlic

The properties of garlic as a disinfectant and microbicide are well known. Now a company has decided to take advantage of grenadine to make a biodegradable plastic container that holds fruits and vegetables. Furthermore, this additive is incorporated in small capsules to avoid the odor problem.

"It is additive with properties antimicrobial and antifungal properties, ie, fight bacteria and molds that may occur in plants and cause diseases such as salmonella , "says project manager of the company Domca, Cristina Nunez. Researchers obtain these active principles through an organic extraction process from a paste made ??from garlic. To avoid the strong smell, additives are incorporated in small capsules that are inserted into the pores of the plastic layer in contact with the plant . "The plastic capsules begin to act progressively, from the time of packaging. In this way, we have greater control over the process of conservation, since the release is sustained over time. This increases the shelf life and therefore, its economic value, "said Nunez.

DNA used as a hard disk to store data

After three years of work and a total of 750 attempts, Jerome Bonnet and colleagues at Stanford University (USA) have succeeded in developing a system to encode, store and erase digital data in the genetic material of living cells. In practical terms, scientists have created the genetic equivalent of a "bit", the smallest unit of digital information that can be represented with two values, zero or one, off or on. In this case, we used DNA segments that are "worth zero if pointing in one direction and taken as a value in the opposite direction," the researchers say. Data can be read easily, since the sections of DNA have been previously modified to glow with green or red depending on their orientation. And since it is a non-volatile memory stores information without consuming energy.



Having the ability to program and store data into the DNA of cells promises to be a useful tool to study cancer, aging, development agency ... For example, the device would count how many times a cell divides, and well find out at what point they become cancerous.

Amazing camouflage

The Satanic Leaf Tailed Gecko, is a species of gecko endemic to the island of Madagascar.Leaf-Tailed Geckos Are Basically Invisible!

Believe it or not, there is a lizard in the below picture:

The thing you can't see is a leaf-tailed gecko, a creature that has evolved to look like bark, leaves and twigs. It's so good at pretending to be other things that, most of the time, you can't even tell it's there when you're actively looking for it. At least, until it blinks. These Geckos are from the Island of Madagascar.

BENEFITS OF DRINKING ADEQUATE WATER

Drinking adequate amounts of water can decrease the risk of certain types of cancers, including colon cancer, bladder cancer, and breast cancer.


Water is absolutely essential to the human body’s survival. A person can live for about a month without food, but only about a week without water.

Water helps to maintain healthy body weight by increasing metabolism and regulating appetite.

Water leads to increased energy levels. The most common cause of daytime fatigue is actually mild dehydration.

For a majority of sufferers, drinking water can significantly reduce joint and/or back pain.

Water leads to overall greater health by flushing out wastes and bacteria that can cause disease.

Water can prevent and alleviate headaches.

Water naturally moisturizes skin and ensures proper cellular formation underneath layers of skin to give it a healthy, glowing appearance.

Water aids in the digestion process and prevents constipation.

Water is the primary mode of transportation for all nutrients in the body and is essential for proper circulation.

Order of keys in keyboard



Ever wonder why keys are in the order they’re in on the keyboard? 



The keyboard we most commonly use today is called the “qwerty” keyboard for obvious reasons, but did you ever wonder why the letters are in that order? It’s actually because the original keyboards would jam if letters that were next to each other were pressed in too rapid succession.

In 1874 Christopher Sholes, who developed the layout, was aiming to slow typists down by putting the most common letters in the most hard to reach places, and thus reduce jamming. Although modern technology has no issue with jamming, the keyboard stuck and is still the one we use today!


World’s smallest guitar

The world’s smallest guitar is the size of a red blood cell! 
Developed by Cornell University researchers, this guitar is only ten micrometers long! How big is that? It would take one million micrometers to make one meter! The guitar has six strings, and each string is only about one hundred atoms thick.

Made out of crystalline silicon it demonstrates new technology for a new generation of electromechanical devices. The guitar can actually be played, but it’s so small the sounds produced would be inaudible to the human ear.

Valuable Facts

When you snap your fingers, the noise doesn’t come from your fingers!

The noise you hear when you snap is not from your two fingers like most believe, but actually your finger slapping your palm.

There’s a faint whisking noise from the friction when your fingers rub together, but the sound associated with a snap is from your palm. Rubbing your two fingers together in preparation of a snap builds up force that is released when your finger strikes your palm, making the snapping noise.

Try putting a tissue or padding on your palm and the noise will be substantially diminished!

Girl sees through Kaleidoscope- Illusion

A Girl sees everything as if she were looking through a Kaleidoscope:

Danielle Burton sees everything as if she were constantly looking through a kaleidoscope! It's because of a rare disorder called Persistent Migraine Aura. This disorder causes everything she sees to be immensely distorted by multiple different colors and shapes. There are only twenty other people in the world who are known to suffer from this disorder, and until recently doctors were stumped by its occurrence.

Danielle saw perfectly fine until she turned nineteen, then everything changed. When tested, doctors said her eyes were normal and she should be able to see, yet on further inspection they realized something was wrong. Doctors have since deduced that a nerve in Danielle's brain was stuck in a state that caused her to have constant migraines, thus distorting her vision. Since Danielle lost her vision six months ago, she has only regained it for an hour before colors began to merge again.

The name Google

1.The name ‘Google’ was an accident. A spelling mistake made by the original founders who thought they were going for ‘Googol’.

2.Google started in January, 1996 as a research project at Stanford University, by Ph.D. candidates Larry Page and Sergey Brin when they were 24 years old and 23 years old respectively.



3.Google is a mathematical term 1 followed by one hundred zeroes. The term was coined by Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasne.

4.Number of languages in which you can have the Google home page set up, including Urdu, Latin and Klingon: 88

5.Employees are encouraged to use 20% of their time working on their own projects. Google News, Orkut are both examples of projects that grew from this working model.

Maldives Underwater Cabinet Meeting

The government of the Maldives has held a cabinet meeting underwater to highlight the threat of global warming to the low-lying Indian Ocean nation.
President Mohamed Nasheed and his cabinet signed a document calling for global cuts in carbon emissions.
Ministers spent half an hour on the sea bed, communicating with white boards and hand signals.
The president said the UN climate change conference in Copenhagen this December cannot be allowed to fail.

At a later press conference while still in the water, President Nasheed was asked what would happen if the summit fails. "We are going to die," he replied.

If the Maldives cannot be saved today we do not feel that there is much of a chance for the rest of the world
President Mohamed Nasheed

Officials in climate change stunt
The Maldives stand an average of 2.1 metres (7ft) above sea level, and the government says they face being wiped out if oceans rise.
"We're now actually trying to send our message, let the world know what is happening, and what will happen to the Maldives if climate change is not checked," President Nasheed said.

"If the Maldives cannot be saved today we do not feel that there is much of a chance for the rest of the world," he added.
