What's going on here? This photograph does the rounds pretty regularly, and it's usually described as showing the parasitization of a Cereal leaf beetle (Oulema melanopus) by Tetrastichus julis, a parasitoid wasp. They eggs are laid within the beetle, where the hatch and feed on it while it's alive. Eventually they burst out, killing the beetle.

Now, all this is true. However, the beetle isn't quite as full to the brim with parasites as it looks. The truth, believe it or not, is even stranger. There's just ONE parasitic larva in this photo, and you can clearly see it at the front. The rest of that squirmy mass inside the beetle? That's its fecal shield.

Yes, you read that correctly. A shield of fecal matter. Believe it or not, this is pretty common in leaf beetles. They deposit their fecal matter on their own backs. There, it acts as a deterrent to predators, prevents desiccation and provide camouflage.

Smoking facts & health risk:

*Cigarette contain more than 4000 chemical comp.&atleast 400 toxic substance.
*Researches has shown that smoking reduces life expectancy by 7-8 years.
*Major diseased caused by smoking-heart disease,lung cancer,mouth cancer,copd,asthma etc.
*Every 6.5 seconds A current or former smoker dies according to WHO.
So plz Quit now if u smoke cigarettes,if dont smoke tell it to others.!!

The Sun Watcher ! SOHO

The Sun Watcher !

¤ The Solar and Heliospheric Obervatory (SOHO) is a space telescope that has been observing the sun since 1995.

¤ SOHO observes invisible and ultraviolet light and reveals huge prominences and outbursts of energy on the solar surface.

¤ SOHO has 12 instruments on-board and is orbiting around the Sun at a distance of about 1.5 million km (932,000) from Earth.

Early Mars atmosphere 'oxygen-rich' before Earth's (19 June 2013)

 
Early Mars atmosphere 'oxygen-rich' before Earth's (19 June 2013)


Mars could have sustained a habitable oxygen atmosphere more than a billion years before the Earth.

The conclusion was reached by researchers who have been examining both the data recorded by the Mars rovers and the composition of meteorites believed to have come from Mars. While the oxygen on Earth 2.5 billion years ago was most likely a direct result of life, the oxygen on Mars may have instead been created by a chemical process involving water.

"What we have shown is that both meteorites and surface volcanic rocks are consistent with similar origins in the deep interior of Mars, but that the surface rocks come from a more oxygen-rich environment, probably caused by recycling of oxygen-rich materials into the interior," said Dr Bernard Wood.

Satellites to bring 'fast, cheap' Internet to 'under-connected'

Satellites to bring 'fast, cheap' Internet to 'under-connected'

The orbiters, part of a project dubbed O3b for the "other 3 billion" people with restricted Internet access, will be lifted by a Russian Soyuz rocket from Kourou in French Guiana at 1854 GMT.

"We are very close to launching a network that has the potential to change lives in very tangible ways and that is a tremendous feeling," O3b Networks chief technical officer Brian Holz said in a statement.

The project was born from the frustrations of Internet pioneer Greg Wyler with the inadequacy of Rwanda's telecommunications network, while travelling there in 2007.

"Access to the Internet backbone is still severely limited in emerging markets," Wyler said in unveiling the O3b venture in 2008—promising multi-gigabit Internet speeds to countries "whether landlocked in Africa or isolated by water in the Pacific Islands".

"Only when emerging markets achieve affordable and ubiquitous access to the rest of the world will we observe locally generated content, widespread e-learning, telemedicine and many more enablers to social and economic growth, which reflect the true value of the Internet," he said.

Wyler's plan was to bypass costly ground-based infrastructure like fibre-optics or cables by deploying a constellation of small satellites around the equator to serve as a spatial relay between users and the world wide web using only satellite dishes.

Such a system would cover a region between the latitudes of 45 degrees North and 45 degrees South—the entire African continent, most of Latin America, the Middle East, southeast Asia, Australia and the Pacific Islands.

There are already geostationary satellites providing this type of services, but at a prohibitive cost for many end-users.

Existing satellites generally obit at an altitude of some 36,000 kilometres (22,000 miles) above Earth, weigh in at a hefty four to six tonnes each, and take much longer to bounce a signal back to Earth—about 500 milliseconds to be exact, according to an O3b document."It is such a long delay that people speaking over a satellite link will shorten conversations, interactive web has an extremely poor experience and many web-based software programmes just won't function," it said.

The O3b satellites, built by the Franco-Italian company Thales Alenia Space, will orbit at 8,062 km and will weigh only 650 kilogrammes (1,400 pounds) each.

Crucially, they will communicate with Earth four times faster, said the company, and six would be enough to assure permanent coverage.

"O3b's prices will be 30 - 50 percent less than traditional satellite services," said the document.

And it added that a country like the Democratic Republic of Congo could move from being one of the most poorly-connected on Earth to one of the best.

Launch company Arianespace, which will put the satellites in orbit, said the O3b constellation will combine "the global reach of satellite coverage with the speed of a fiber-optic network".

Project investors include Internet giant Google, cable company Liberty Global, satellite operator SES, HSBC bank and the Development Bank of Southern Africa.The first four satellites were due to be boosted into space on Monday but the launch was postponed by a day due to unfavourable weather conditions.

The next four satellites will be launched within weeks, according to Arianespace, and a final four "backup" orbiters early next year.

To refine its coverage, the constellation could in the end have as many as 16 supplementary satellites in addition to the 12 main ones, said O3b networks.

Value of Money

Do you want $20?

In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up.

He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up. He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air.

"Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air.

"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20."

"Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way.

We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless… especially to those who love you.

Petrol Can make u Blind

*** VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION MUST SHARE ***

This is a freak incident that happened recently.
A young man and his 4 year old son went to a petrol bunk near Lalbagh (Bangalore) to fill in petrol for his bike. The boy was sitting on the pillion behind him.
The helper who fills petrol held the petrol gun upwards, and turned towards the meter to re-set the meter. As soon as the setting was done the ...petrol came out gushing out of the gun – due to some malfunction – (at least that’s what they said) in full speed and splashed all over the 4 yr old boy and his father.

Petrol entered the eyes of the boy. Immediately the boy was taken into the cleaning area and was showered in a water jet. They washed his eyes with lot of water. But the boy could not see anything.
The young man took the child to the hospital and immediately the hospital authorities put him in ICU. The kid was then transferred to Vittala Netralaya and after 2 days of treatment he got some vision again. Now he is all right and is at home.
The doctors told that just because the water cleaning was done immediately, he has vision today otherwise the boy would have been blind by now. Petrol (along with impurities) can burn the tissues inside the eye.
Now why am I posting this? Please take some precautions next time you are at a petrol bunk.

Some facts about the sun.

1. The Sun is one among the 200 billion stars in our Milky Way galaxy.

2. The Earth receives 94 billion megawatt of energy from Sun. This is equivalent to 40,000 times the power requirement of United States.
...
3. Each second the Sun loses 5 million tons of material.

4. The Sun's temperature at its core is 14 million Kelvin.

5. It takes up to 50 million years for the energy produced at the core of the Sun to reach its surface. If the Sun were to stop producing energy today, it would take 50 million years for significant effects to be felt at Earth.

6. The diameter of Sun is equivalent to the diameter of 109 earths.

7. If the Sun were the size of a beach ball then Jupiter would be the size of a golf ball and the Earth would be as small as a pea.

Kids Risking Their Lives to Reach School

Meet Chinese schoolchildren from the village of Genguan.
Everyday, these young kids walk along a precarious path carved by the side of a cliff, as they make their way to class in Bijie, in southwest China's Guizhou Province. Banpo Elementary School is located halfway up a mountain and the path to it winds through treacherous hillside passes and tunnels hew...n out of the rock.

The pebble-covered footpath is less than 0.5 meters wide, which means the children have to walk single file and press themselves into the side of the mountain if someone wants to squeeze past. This footpath was created 40 years ago as an irrigation ditch and although there is another safer route, but taking this means the children have to spend two hours to walk to school.
