What are Flowers of Love?

What are Flowers of Love?

The idea that February is the month of love is true, but a feeling so strong should not be limited. Need to show that love in every month, day and the risk of exaggeration, every moment of our lives. Love is the purest feeling that we can share with the others and how we do it better, if not by love flowers.

They help us express our feelings and change, showing them the closest to mean everything to us. Flowers of love are many in number, some believing that all flowers can be our messengers, but there are some that are closer to the notion of love. Thus, some can transmit the feeling of pure love, while others indicate another shade of this feeling.
If you want to show them a loved one how much you love but that is a very nice body, you can give them bouquets of orchids . These flowers can be kept in the apartment a long period of time, provided you make sure the temperature in your home.

Is This The Only Pink Dolphin on Earth? (Video)

Is This The Only Pink Dolphin on Earth? (Video)

The first photographs of a single specimen of pink dolphins were recently offered by the U.S. press boat captain Erik Rue, an admirer of intelligences with old marine mammals.
Is this the only pink dolphin on Earth?

When Rue identified for the first time the surprising animal, he was swimming in the channel southwest U.S. Calcasieu, in the company of four other dolphins. Erik Rue suspected that one of them was even curious specimen mother, not because he lost no time in care.

Skyscrapers Can Prevent Formation of Tornadoes?

Skyscrapers Can Prevent Formation of Tornadoes?

Given the growing number of tornadoes that form due to climate change, inevitable that pseudo-scientific theories that would prevent them from forming. One of these assumptions, which was very useful to audiences overseas, is one that says skyscrapers prevents tornadoes, which is why they are formed, especially in open field. How true is such statement explains Gary Conte, a meteorologist from the National Weather Service in New York.

7 minuni mai putin cunoscute ale naturii

For an article on places where you can admire the fabulousviews of the world came to my mind the first time in populardestinations such as Mount Everest, Niagara Falls, Grand Canyon, the Alps and the famous island of Bora Bora ... but these destinations are not surprise to anyone talk about themall and travel guides are top choices for a long time travelersworldwide. But if we think of how big is this beautiful planet, you must there are other places that are waiting to discovermusterii eager, to admire and photograph them. The article is areview of only a few such places less known and the subject of the most spectacular views in the world is far from beingexhausted.

Erta Ale - Ethiopia

Thirst for knowledge people, passion for exploration anddiscovery, seems to never ends, so the Age of discovery has turned into an incredibly long time, still not final. At this point, the Earth seems to be disclosed secrets, so people do nothave left but to go further, to conquer space. But to reach this point, many adventurers and explorers have faced danger for the sake of knowledge. One of them is British explorer,Ludovico M. Nesbitt, when in 1928, along with two Italians, became the first Europeans to "visit" all the Erta Ale volcano, in a daring excursions which provided a distance ofapproximately 640 km Danakil Depression crossing.


Erta Ale is the language outside the "mountain that smokes"and is actually a set of five volcanoes that form an arc length of80 kilometers. Despite the breathtaking landscapes strangeand colorful games that appear before the eyes, Nesbittremained insensitive, calling the place "a landscape of terror".His reaction can be explained through the harsh conditions thatexplorers had to face it: very high temperatures (about 75 degrees Celsius during the day), a sand so hot that it burnedthrough the soles of boots and, most likely in thinning due towater reserves.

Deşeurile de plastic din oceane ucid balenele


Deşeurile de plastic din oceane ucid balenele
Milioane de tone de deşeuri de plastic aruncate anual în oceane ar putea constitui o ameninţare letală pentru balene. Această afirmaţie este susţinută pe baza unei evaluări ştiinţifice prezentată la o conferinţă internaţională ce are ca subiect situaţia actuală a balenelor.
O analiză a lucrărilor de cercetare din ultimele două decenii relevă sute de cazuri în care cetaceele (balene şi delfini) au fost îmbolnăvite sau ucise de gunoaiele din oceane.
În 2008, doi caşaloţi eşuaţi pe o coastă din California s-au dovedit a avea o mare cantitate de plase de peşte şi alte resturi sintetice în intestinele lor, aproximativ 205 kilograme. Unul dintre animalele de 15 metri avea stomacul rupt, iar celălalt aproape că a murit de foame deoarece avea tractul digestiv blocat cu un dop de vată de plastic.
Şapte caşaloţi masculi eşuaţi în 2009 pe coasta Adriatică din sudul Italiei aveau stomacul plin cu cârlige de pescuit şi numeroase obiecte din plastic.
În 2002, o balenă Minke găsită moartă pe coasta Normandiei din Franţa, avea aproximativ o tonă de plastic în stomac, inclusiv pungi de plastic de la două supermarket-uri britanice.
"Multe balene din Atlanticul de nord-est mor din cauza pungilor de plastic", spune Mark Simmonds, unul dintre autorii raportului prezentat în cadrul conferinţei.
Majoritatea cetaceelor care mor din cauza traumelor intestinale se scufundă pe fundul oceanelor, susţin experţii, astfel că nu se poate şti cât de răspândită este această problemă.
Printre principalele ameninţări la adresa cetaceelor din toată lumea se numără schimbările climatice şi prinderea lor accidentală în plasele de pescuit.
"În multe părţi ale lumii, carcasele de balenă ce eşuează pe mal nu sunt examinate, iar acolo unde sunt cercetate medical, rareori este verificat conţinutul de plastic. Există, însă, numeroase dovezi care arată că deşeurile de plastic din oceanele lumii rănesc aceste animale, iar această problemă necesită cercetări urgente", susţine Simmonds.
Studiile demonstrează că gunoaiele se concentrează în zonele de convergenţă, acele zone care se formează din cauza curenţilor şi a vânturilor, acolo unde balenele se hrănesc din abundenţă.
În 2003, Programul Naţiunilor Unite pentru Mediu a stabilit Iniţiativa Globală privind Deşeurile Marine, dar a lansat o analiză detaliată a domeniului de rezolvare a acestei probleme abia în 2009.
Mai recent, reprezentanţii a 38 de ţări s-au întâlnit în Hawaii pentru a adopta "Angajamentul Honolulu", care să schiţeze o serie de măsuri voluntare.
Pentru balene, nivelul de ameninţare a gunoiului din oceane variază în funcţie de specie şi de tipul de deşeu, sugerează raportul.
Cel mai mare pericol provine din partea toxinelor din plastic, acestea fiind eliberate în apă pe măsură ce plasticul se descompune în timp în particule mici, chiar microscopice.
Pe lângă ameninţările prezentate mai sus, experţii avertizează că şi coliziunile cetaceelor cu nave, dar şi poluarea fonică provenită de la sondele de exploatare petrolieră, ce le afectează ţesuturile, sunt factori suplimentari ce le pun în primejdie viaţa.

Water in Sahara

Water in Sahara
Somewhere in the inhospitable desert the creepy and the world is huge-scale natural deposits composed of freshwater, the most precious ingredient in the recipe of Life. Of these deposits depends on the future of many African countries, and not only theirs. The wisdom of us all, depends on maintaining the natural water cycle on Earth. Water is - slowly but surely - the most sought after natural resource.Paleo-water solution for arid future?x0.gif?sdtrnd=0.4930375968106091&&snocacGlobal warming, prolonged drought in many regions of the world and, not least the continued growth of the population on Earth, and also have a decisive impact negatively on the planet's fresh water reserves, water without which life as we know, would be downright impossible.Running water is usually drawn from rivers or lakes are used for full range of human activities, from agriculture and drinking water to all branches of industry. Lakes and streams are, so far, the most accessible and cheap source of water within reach of man.Fresh water, salt water produced from the seas and oceans, is expensive and complex processes of desalination can not yet obtain the optimum amount required for consumption and growing needs of other countries in desert areas, tropical.
But here that rush of water brought to the attention of mankind a relatively new source - and so far ignored - water: water fossil or paleo-water, the language specialists.Paleo-water is actually water that has infiltrated into an aquifer several thousand years ago, in a geological era long past, the phenomenon occurring in climatic and geo-morphological conditions totally different from today.The fossil water can remain in "fossil aquifers," while hundreds of thousands and even millions of years without evaporate or infiltrate. Fossil water is most often the result of a major geological event, like an earthquake, which result in "plugging" in coverage, and somehow even seal the aquifer in question can not be supplied with water from precipitation.Unfortunately, the paleo-water are renewable sources of water, more than obvious reasons. Once closed aquifer was broken by drilling and the water extracted, it can not re-feed, because it is outside the current areas underground water.Water extraction of "fossil aquifers" is known in hydrology as the expression "water mining". If an aquifer water is extracted through a deep pit, with a rate that exceeds the natural recharge (which, if fossil aquifers is practically zero), the walls eventually collapse aquifer, forming a groundwater basin affect aquifers in the area. Studying this phenomenon led to the criminalization of "water mining", which many experts consider it more guilty even of rising sea levels and ocean.However it would be hard to believe, a detailed study conducted by specialists from the University of Utrecht, the Netherlands, and published in February this year showed that overexploitation of large fossil aquifers in the world, has increased the volume hydrosphere water and is responsible for increasing one-fourth World Ocean level, from the early twentieth century until today."Great" in the Sahara freshwater
