Wind Energy - A New Kind of Power Generation in Panama on Flickr - Photo Sharing! - 0 views

shared by Kate L on 08 Dec 08 - Cached
  •  
    Two large companies are developing wind energy fields in Panama. This green, clean energy will create a new source of energy for a new generation, even providing surplus energy for surrounding countries. One development, Los Pozos will have its OWN wind generation system. This will be the first green community in Panama, and will in fact create surplus energy to benefit surrounding areas. Contact ThinkPanama.com for more information.

Facts about bats: mammals - 0 views

  • There are more than 1,000 species of bats in the world! They live on every continent of the world, except Antarctica. Bats do not live in areas where it is very hot or very cold, and there are some remote islands that are not home to bats.
  • Bats are mammals. They account for more than 25 percent of all the mammals on the earth! Bats are the only mammals that can fly.
  • Mother bats have one baby in their litter. The baby bats are called “pups.” When a pup is born, it usually has no hair and its eyes are closed. It clings to the mother bat and drinks milk from her. When the pup is about four months old, it learns to fly.

  • Depending on the species, bats can be gray, brown, white or reddish brown.
  • Bats have teeth and chew their food. Seventy percent of all bats eat insects. One bat can eat more than a thousand insects in one hour!
  • The largest bats have a wingspan of more than six feet. However, most are smaller.
  • Many people do not like bats and are afraid of them because they think all bats have rabies. Rabies is a virus that is transmitted to animals and people through animal bites. A study by the University of Florida has shown less than one-half of 1 percent of all bats have rabies. It is more likely for a person to be bitten by an unvaccinated dog or cat.
  • People also think vampire bats will try to attack humans. That is simply not true.
  • Bats are not a danger to people and are actually quite valuable. Very few carry rabies, and they help to control the insect population. They also help seed new plants and pollinate our crops!

China - 0 views

  • Though it sounds like a classroom assignment from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, weather modification programs have been around for more than 50 years.
  • The problem is there are too many factors that affect the weather, making naturally occurring phenomena difficult to separate from man-made triggers.
  • "There was no strong scientific base for changing the weather."

  • Determined to prevent rain from dampening the spirits -- not to mention the crowds -- on opening day ceremonies, the government plans to seed any threatening clouds with chemicals to dispel, or at least delay, rainfall.

Lake Microbes - 0 views

  • A deadly toxin, arsenic is known for its ability to end life.
  • Since the 1990s, scientists have discovered about 20 species of bizarre bacteria that "breathe" arsenic.
  • They are typically found in environments where oxygen is scarce and have been forced to survive on whatever strange substance is easily available.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • "Just like you and I inhale oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide, these bugs breathe in Arsenic +3 and breathe out Arsenic +5,"
  • Arsenic +3 is the most poisonous form of the element, because it acts much like phosphorous.
  • Most life on Earth needs phosphorous to build the molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which supplies cells with energy. Arsenic can substitute for phosphorous and upset the ATP molecule, essentially starving cells to death.
  • n the arsenic-rich, oxygen-poor waters of Mono Lake, Oremland and a team of researchers found that bacteria turn the lethal toxin to their advantage through photosynthesis.

Lake Microbes Thrive on Arsenic : Discovery News - 0 views

  • More than a mere biological oddity, the discovery adds weight to Oremland's theory that the bacteria's ability evolved billions of years ago, when the first life was just getting started on Earth. At the time, the planet's oceans were devoid of oxygen, but hydrothermal vents spewed elements such as sulfur, iron and arsenic into the water column.
  • In this ancient stew, arsenic may have been an important nutrient to life. The life forms would have used whatever they could to survive these noxious waters, and sunlight and arsenic were probably plentiful.
  • Poison or Fuel?
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Photosynthesis may be the most important biochemical machine on the planet.
  • "The move to the modern form of breaking up water molecules was the biggest move"

      oooooooooooooooooohhh i didnt know this its kind of off topic but i like it it does have music involved
  • Music can also slow down and equalize brain waves. A brain has 4 kinds of waves. It has beta waves, alpha waves, theta waves, and delta waves. When we do daily activities and experience emotions that’s when we use beta waves. Calmness is when we use alpha waves ,when your sleeping you use theta waves , and lastly when you are in deep sleep or in meditation that is when delta waves are used. When your brain waves are slow that is when you are very calm. Different types of music cause different waves. If you listen to calm music then the waves will drop to delta and theta. If you listen to fast or loud music your brain waves will most likely be alpha or beta.
