High Oil Prices and Gold

U.S. gasoline inventories lowest level since August 2009 (Reuters) -

Futures rose to U.S. crude oil and Brent crude influenced by the U.S. government report showed that gasoline inventories fell more than expected last week.

The report came to reinforce the price of crude, which has flared since the outbreak of protests in the Arab region, which is richer in terms of global oil production.

Five Great Ways That Your Body Will Amaze You

The human body is a complex structure that is designed to accomplish that task that is sustain life. How life is sustained is itself fascinating. However, there are a few things fir the obvious to obscure that give an interesting take on how the body works.
1. Acid Production

When it produces HCl for your stomach it does so in two separate parts. It produces hydrogen ions in the cell using an enzyme then it releases that ion into the lumen of the stomach via a channel and gradient. Cl ions then meet the H ion there as they are carried there through the cell from the bloodstream. Once them meet stomach acid is formed.

Space Shuttle Endeavor to Retire

"
The space shuttles are arguably some of the most successful aircraft in history, let alone most successful spacecraft. Their unique ability to glide from the very top of the atmosphere and land on a conventional runway qualifies them as aircraft, while, of course, their ability to orbit the planet makes them spacecraft as well.

Endeavor (officially designated OV-105) has done a masterful job of transferring goods and people from earth to the International Space Station and back. She shows well over 116 million miles on the odometer, and has orbited the Earth over 4,423 times. She’s docked with the Russian space station Mir once and with the International Space Station 11 times.

Urban Wilderness: Humans and Wild Animals in The City

Urban Wilderness: Humans and Wild Animals in The City: "


The wild creatures that occupy the urban wilderness are not like the wild creatures that live in the natural wilderness away from people. They won’t eat the same food drink from the same streams, climb the same trees, build their nests from the same materials, den in the same hollows or interact with man in the same manner as normal wild animals do. While they may look alike, keep in mind that they’re not the same, at least not in their manner of thinking or habits.

Endangered Species – Insects

Endangered Species – Insects: "

Australian Ant (Nothomyrmecia macrops)

Status: Critically endangered (IUCN)



Image source

Australian ants, also known as the Dinosaur ants, are found only in the Australian state of South Australia, and occupy several sites in an area measuring less than 0.4 square mile. Major threats to their survival include habitat destruction due to increasing population in the Australian ant’s limited range and bush fires at night. Although small in size, measuring only about 0.4 inch long, workers are able to carry large prey such as a caterpillar.

Endangered Species – Arachnids

Endangered Species – Arachnids: "

Bee Creek Cave Harvestman (Texella reddelli)

Status: Endangered (ESA)



Often called daddy longlegs, harvestmen are slow-moving predatory eyeless spiders that inhabit the underground caves of Texas. The primary threat to the harvestmen and other cave invertebrates in the area is the loss of habitat due to rapid urban expansion, resulting in many caves having been paved over or filled in.

Einstein Provides View of Ancient Object

Einstein Provides View of Ancient Object: "
Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope spotted it first. The W.M. Keck Telescope on Mauna Kea confirmed the results. The light coming from a tiny galaxy 13.5 billion light years away was not the most distant ever seen, but it was the oldest.

The distant galaxy in question appears to be quite mature – light emitted from it shows the spectra of fully formed and mature stars. It is the age of the galaxy that has physicists and astronomers scratching their heads: the Big Bang is theorized to have happened 13.7 billion years ago. The newly found galaxy appears to have formed just 200 thousand years after that. The galaxy is the oldest object, and conversely the youngest, spotted to date. Even though the thing is 13.5 billion years old, astronomers refer to it as young because it developed at the very beginning of the known universe, when all that we know and understand was young.

Roots and Shoots in a Plant World

Roots and Shoots in a Plant World: "
In general the three main components to a plant are the root system, the shoot system, and the leaves. In general the roots collect nutrients and the shoot collects carbon dioxide. Working together these systems allow for plant growth to exist under multiple conditions.

Most roots have a section called a taproot and a lateral roots which are analogous to the tributaries of a river. The roots help to hold a plant in the soil while preventing soil erosion. It is also common for the roots to make up most of a plants mass and streach for large distances underground. In many places the roots of a plant will allow a plant to reappear after a situation such as a fire. Roots may also act as a place for plants to store food such as starch.

Plant Form in a Diverse World

Plant Form in a Diverse World: "
Plants are among the most interesting organisms as the are able to undertake photosynthesis and for the base of many food chains. When you consider that it is this process which allows for plant life to exist it is a wonder that life can change form a simple process into something that is more complex. This also means that plants continue to grow throughout their lives through a process called indeterminate growth.

Unlike animals most plants stay in one spot. Using roots and leaves, it then obtains the nutrients that are reuired to sustain life. The two major systems of a plant are the root system and the shoot system. The rtoot system allows the plant to take in water and nutrients from the soil, while the shoot system harvests light and carbon dioxide.

The pike eats other game fish and often will eat small animals.

Saturn’s Moon Titan Has Gone Cold

Saturn’s Moon Titan Has Gone Cold: "
Space exploration is a fickle thing. From Earth Saturn’s moon Titan appears to be a cold and lifeless ball. From the Voyager spacecraft she appeared to have an atmosphere. From the Huygens probe, which actually landed on the surface, we learned that the atmosphere is a nasty mix of methane and hydrocarbons. Huygens also brought us the intriguing possibility that Titan is volcanically active.

Volcanism on Titan could be triggered as it is on Earth, by the inward pressure of its mantle on its rocky core coupled with the gravitational pull of other bodies, in our case the moon. Titan is so far from the sun, however, that volcanoes there would most likely be shooting water instead of molten rock.

Juno to Provide Window Into Jupiter

Juno to Provide Window Into Jupiter: "
Jupiter is a wild and exciting place. What used to be considered just a giant gas cloud hovering around the sun has turned out to be a dynamic, vibrant planet with horrific storms, planet-Earth-sized lightning discharges, and a terrible death grip on its moons. As our ability to examine the planet grows, the number of strange and unimagined Jovian features increases.

For example, we now know that Jupiter’s magnetic field charges up the moon Io like a battery. Io then blasts the gas giant with a electrical zap from 262 thousand miles away creating lightning that dashes through the Jovian clouds in bolts that are tens of thousands of miles long. We know that Jupiter’s magnetosphere is the largest object in the solar system, and that it puts an incredible strain on Jupiter’s moons, grinding some to dust while blowing the surface off of others.

Political and Social Themes in Hamlet

Political And Social Themes In Hamlet
 Hamlet is a play that is driven by social and political elements. Be it between Hamlet and Claudius or Denmark and Norway, it is these social and political feuds that drive the play. There are various themes used by Shakespeare in the play that can be put in these two categories. These themes include, but are in no way limited to; Death, religion, social class, revenge, pride, politics and isolation.
  Hamlet, the play, as a whole is very patriarchal. The men seem to wield the power and excert it over not just each other, but also the women in the play. Both Hamlet and Claudius can be seen controling Gertrude at various points in the play. Claudius uses her to try and control Hamlet, where as Hamlet uses her as a pawn in his game of trying to get to the bottom of what actually happened to his father. Gertude is seen less as another human being but more of a prize in Claudius’ eyes, there is no doubt in our minds through out the play that Claudius did not only kill old Hamlet for the throne but also for Gertrude’s hand in marriage.
  Unfortunately for Ophelia, Gertrude is not the only women ruled by the men in the play, Ophelia is often controlled also. Polonius uses her as a spy. He send her to spy on Hamlet, hoping to get to find out the cause of his apparant madness. Not only does he send her to spy on Hamlet, but he also says, “I will loose her,” which is not only controling, but also degrading, likening her to an obediant dog or another animal of some sort. This is dehumanising in another way, not only does it appear that he sees her as an animal but also as a an object of possession. Hamlet uses Ophelia more as a love object, but he does see her more as a human being than Laertes and Polonius. It appears that Hamlet is in love with Ophelia as he often talks to her affectionately. But as the play progresses Hamlet begins to distrust Ophelia. “Get thee to a nunnery.” This shows his distrust in her word and her purity, it also makes the audience wonder whether Hamlet cares about Ophelia anymore. She becomes more like someone Hamlet can channel his rage at, rather than someone Hamlet is trying to win over. Laertes treats Ophelia like a child, warning her to beware of Hamlet and he tries to frighten her away from him, saying that Hamlet cannot be trusted and is only interested in her for sexual reasons and once she loses her virginity she will not find another man. “Perhaps he loves you now, And now soil nor cautel doth besmirch, The virtue of his will; but you must fear, His greatness weighed, his will is not his own, For he himself is subject to birth.”

Everything Happens for a Reason

2006, a year old in the IT world when I realized coding is not what I want to do for a living. Not knowing what I should do either I thought  I am not prepared for the corporate world yet. I thought I really haven’t had my share of fun and relaxing days. So, getting back to college again was my easy way out. I thought having another degree under my hat, probably from a foreign country, would bring me big money without any efforts– and what could have been easier or better than choosing US of A, the place where the rest of the the crowd was headed too. I guess at this point, I was really trying to run away from all the problems like a coward and it was very easy to convince my family to support me into this, giving them the hope that I would make them proud and I was destined to be something other than what I was blah blah blah…
While I was on my way to step outside the country, I am introduced to this guy virtually(over email), who could help me in the process of realizing my American dream. I thought he was just another usual guy you come across in your life. I had approached him for help, but I wasn’t too comfortable asking a stranger, even better, somebody I had never seen to help me. He, not knowing who I was, or what I was, offered his help. He was ready to go out of his way to help me, and this had never happened to me before. I always had to fight to get even what I deserve. For the first time, I was made to feel like I was blessed with this helping hand. One fine day, we met and nothing unusual happened. All I remember was that he was a very friendly, kind and a warm person. Then, it was time for me to leave and we knew we would keep in touch. After I was in this foreign country, I don’t if it was my loneliness, or was it having too much time on hand, I became friends with my guardian angel who was far away from me in no time through emails and regular chats. I was very impressed with him in a strange way and his words were music to my ears. I thought God had created him based on my requirements, he was perfect to the T. He showered me with all the attention I wanted, he listened to all the crap I spoke and he spoke only what I wanted to hear. He was like this magician, whose tricks always amaze you and I was like this kid who wanted to see more and more. Though we were 1000 miles away, we knew everything about each others day to day life, as though we lived 24/7 together. I definitely thought we met for a reason.

Traveling Alone with an Infant

Flying with an infant can be challenging especially when you are the only caregiver aboard, but it doesn’t have to be a complete nightmare. When my daughter was under one year old, we traveled from Oregon to Maine with nary a problem. I will admit we lucked out with an exceptional flight crew who all happened to love babies so they were begging to take turns holding her in their downtime. However, even if you aren’t as fortunate as I was, there are steps that you can take to get your trip off to a good start, as well as improving the travel experience of the other passengers.
The first thing you need to do is pack for the baby. In your diaper bag, be sure to include plenty of wipes and spit up cloths. Babies may experience a bit of nausea on the flight and you will not want to be stuck with nothing to clean him or her up with. There is also the chance that you will be cleaning yourself. A spare change of clothes, cleaning cloths and a few spare diapers will be essential to everyone’s comfort in the case of stomach upset.

If you’ve done any prereading about this film, released in Britain over the weekend, you’ll know the plot without having to see it. I had read little, or forgotten what I did know, and the story unravelled to me alongside Jake Gyllenhaal’s character. We are meant to share his confusion, his disorientation, and together gradually piece together where he is, what he’s doing, what’s happened to him and for whom he is working.

All I would say that this belongs in the intelligent summer mind bending sci fi camp, alongside the Matrix and Inception.

It underdevelops the emotional and moral exploration that the subject and story lend themselves to. A bit like Titanic, it’s a love story based on a short acquaintance during a transport disaster between two young people. But the girl on the train isn’t the most interesting woman in the film; and like Titanic, some of the actions are cringe-inducing. There could be a greater twist with the originator of the bomb, who is not given enough of an incentive. For a time, it felt like a brave film that questioned governments but it came out as pro USA and military. At least the terrorists aren’t Middle Eastern and the city for once is not New York.

Periods after completion of a sentence

Periods (or ‘full stops’) mark the termination of a sentence. For example,

Simple enough. Note that the period is placed immediately after the last letter of the last word. The next sentence begins after one space. Looks obvious when I say it, but the rule is often ignored.

The article How To Combine Two Or More Sentences discusses what makes a complete sentence, and how we have to use conjunctions and punctuations to combine them.

Magnificent Synagogue Under Threat

Magnificent Synagogue Under Threat: "
A wide central gable is flanked by short octagonal towers and the whole is executed in vigorous polychrome brickwork. The façade is dominated by a vast window with Art Deco tracery and brilliant stained glass. The window is framed by concentric brick arches with lozenge patterning. Running below the window is a mosaic band with a Hebrew scripture. At the summit of the gable are stone tablets representing the Ten Commandments.

The synagogue was entered through twin double-doors enclosed within the central arch. Divided by octagonal half-columns, the doors have large fanlights containing stained glass in vibrant abstract designs. Low wings project at the four corners of the building, each decorated with patterned brickwork. Glass had a passion for brightly-coloured façades: the synagogue is composed of red and yellow ablaq brickwork, interlaced with an attractive artificial stone to produce a bold polychromy typical of Byzantine architecture.

10 Tallest Buildings in New Orleans

Back when my great-great-great grandfather built the annex to his hotel in 1908, it was the tallest building in the city, and held that record until 1921, just two years before the family sold it. The hotel had fourteen floors – a site that back then was massive but grand. Of course, today, fourteen floors is hardly anything to marvel over. This is evidenced by the fact that over thirty-five other buildings in the city have since surpassed the record the Grunewald’s once held.

Can You Survive Without a Thyroid Gland?

There’s a small, butterfly-shaped organ that lies in the neck just below the Adam’s apple called the thyroid gland. Most people take this hard-working organ for granted. But don’t underestimate its importance. Can you live without a thyroid gland – or is it necessary to sustain life?
Can You Live Without a Thyroid Gland?
You can live without a thyroid gland, but you won’t survive very long without the hormones this gland produces.

Not surprisingly, people who are deficient in thyroid hormone, a condition called hypothyroidism, gain weight and feel very tired.

Five Tiny Things to Stop Buying to Save Big Money

1.) Coffee- By all means, continue to buy coffee. But drinking coffee multiple times a day, especially from an overpriced place like Starbuck’s, fuels a caffiene addiction and wastes your money.

Why Expensive Shampoo is a Waste of Money?

Do rich people you know always have better hair than people with less money?  No.  But they probably use higher-priced shampoos.

Truth be told, sometimes you do need expensive haircare products.  If your hair is severely damaged, you will need a good protein treatment.  Redken anti-snap or deep fuel, or Joico K Pak Reconstructor are good bets for that.  But if your hair is just mildly dry, somewhat oily, or wavy, you could easily just buy yourself a four dollar bottle of Garnier and be done with it.

10 All-natural Ways to Kill Roaches Wasps and Bugs

Roaches are an increasingly troubling problem for a large majority of American households. Roaches can spread infectious diseases after these bugs come in direct contact with food and drinks by cross-contamination. Roach droppings and the droppings from other bugs and rodents can potentially contaminate human dwellings with dangerous bacteria causing serious health problems.
It is important to note; no amount of money, professional extermination treatments or all-natural home remedies can work over-the-longrun, if the home isn’t kept clean. Keeping this in mind, it is necessary to store all food in airtight food storage containers or Ziploc plastic storage bags, so to keep any source of delightful temptations of the food variety, out of the bugs’ reach. Sweeping, mopping and/or vacuuming the floors throughout the house will help remove any tiny bits of food crumbs that might have fallen to the floor.
Roaches and other bugs often sneak into dwelling places through open doors, plumbing holes behind washing machines and dryers, sink and bathtub drains. It is important to keep outdoor doors closed, seal all open exposed holes behind indoor washing machines and dryers, as well as, use drain covers to prevent roaches and other bugs from stopping by for a long vacation.
