Bartolomeu Dias Biography Explorer (c. 1450–1500)

Bartolomeu Dias led the first European expedition round the Cape of Good Hope in 1488.

Bartolomeu Dias was sent by Portuguese King John II to explore the coast of Africa and find a way to the Indian Ocean.

born around 1540-1544

in Devonshire, England,

For sharks and Rays this is not a problem as they do not have color vision anyway. The eyes of shallow water species are adapted to have a maximum sensitivity to light of around 500 nanometres, and the eyes of those species that live in deeper waters are adapted to 475-480 nanometres. Most Teleost fish however have color vision, and the eyes of the Trout (Onkorhynchus mykiss) have three sensitivity peaks at, 455, 530 and 625 nanometres.

An individual's unique sense of taste is partially inherited, but factors such as culture and familiarity can help determine why one person's favorite food made be hot and spicy while another just can't get enough chocolate.

Taste occurs when specific proteins in the food bind to receptors on the taste buds.

Taste buds for all four taste groups can be found throughout the mouth, but specific kinds of buds are clustered together in certain areas. Think about licking an ice cream cone; taste buds for sweetness are grouped on the tip of our tongue. The buds for sour tastes are on the sides of the tongue and saltyon the front.

For two decades no additional moons were discovered; but between October 1999 and February 2003, researchers using sensitive ground-based detectors found and later named another 34 moons,

The moons' physical and orbital characteristics vary widely. The four Galileans are all over 3,100 kilometres (1,900 mi) in diameter; the largest Galilean, Ganymede, is the ninth largest object in the Solar System, after the Sun and seven of the planets (Ganymede being larger than Mercury). All other Jovian moons are less than 250 kilometres (160 mi) in diameter, with most barely exceeding 5 kilometres (3.1 mi). Orbital shapes range from nearly perfectly circular to highly eccentric and inclined, and many revolve in the direction opposite to Jupiter's spin (retrograde motion). Orbital periods range from seven hours (taking less time than Jupiter does to spin around its axis), to some three thousand times more (almost three Earth years).

it’s Daylight Saving Time! Daylight Saving Time (or “Summer Time,” as it’s known in many parts of the world) was created to make better use of the long sunlight hours of the summer. By “springing” clocks forward an hour in March, we move an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening. On the first Sunday in November, we “fall back” and rewind our clocks to return to Standard Time.

So you ask yourself, what does AM and PM stand for? What are the acronyms for AM and PM? What do the initials a.m. and p.m. mean? Both AM and PM come from Latin. AM stands for Ante Meridiem and PM stands for Post Meridiem. Furthermore, Ante Meridiem means before midday (before Noon), and Post Meridiem means after midday (after noon).

Although not the correct acronym, for easy remembering, you could say that AM stands for After Midnight and PM stands for Pre-Midnight or prior to midnight.

The sense of smell is extremely important in attracting cats (and us) to food and also in aiding tasting food. Cat’s noses are many times more sensitive than our own, so it is believed that their heightened sense of smell assists a great deal in their tasting of different flavors.
