You’ve probably seen those ads for the 2010 Census, starring Ed Begley Jr and a bunch of other funny folks. But you may not know that this is also the year that the Census of Marine Life will be released. Although this is the culmination of many years of work, it does not have a reality star (yet) to help promote it.
The results of the multi-year effort are due to be released in October, and the lead researchers have just released a fascinating preview of the results.
Their findings? Good news (new species!), bad news (declines in biodiversity), and a few calls to action (acidity will continue to rise unless we do something).

If I could give whales one piece of advice, it would be: avoid the water around New Zealand in the summer months. Unfortunately, their migration path from Antarctica brings them right past the island country, frequently with tragic results.
This week a pod of 28 stranded pilot whales was discovered on a beach on Stewart Island, the most remote of New Zealand’s three land masses. Nine of the whales were already dead, but conservationists did their best to urge the remaining 19 back into the water.
Sadly, the weather, which included high seas and strong winds, made rescue impossible. The whales were euthanized by the reluctant but kind conservation workers, who wanted to prevent the mammals from experiencing any further suffering, including sunburn.

Breathing just got easier. French designer Mathieu Lehanneur and Harvard professor David Edwards have taken air filtration to new heights. As much as we’d like to believe we keep good houses, the truth is that the air in any home contains impurities that negatively impact our breathing and general health. Unfortunately, we all know that in-house air filters are usually quite unattractive. While they may help the air, they do nothing for the décor.
Lehanneur and Edwards teamed up for what was initially an art and science experiment in 2007, and came out smelling like a rose – or a houseplant to be exact. ANDREA Air uses any ordinary houseplant to transform toxic VOCs and noxious gases into fresh, clean air that actually smells like the plant of your choice.
How Does it Work?
We all know that plants naturally filter air, both outdoors and in. The ANDREA Air Filter uses that aspect […]

Continuing thus her daily course, she passes under the
rays of the sun on about the twenty-eighth day, and so completes the
account of the month.
I will next explain how the sun, passing through a different sign each
month, causes the days and hours to increase and diminish in length.
CHAPTER III
THE COURSE OF THE SUN THROUGH THE TWELVE SIGNS
1 The architrave has the height
of one half of the thickness of a column renderowanie But a stock of wood, which is absolutely necessary for cooking
food, is a difficult and troublesome thing to provide; for it is slow to
gather and a good deal is consumed.
9 pożyczki pod hipotekę handel The fact is, heat is not at all a property of water, but when a
stream of cold water happens upon a hot place, it boils up, and issues
through the fissures and out of the ground in a state of heat But although honours are not bestowed upon authors for excellence of
character and teaching, yet as their minds, naturally looking up to the
higher regions of the air, are raised to the sky on the steps of
history, it must needs be, that not merely their doctrines, but even
their appearance, should be known to posterity through time eternal.
Hence, men whose souls are aroused by the delights of literature cannot
but carry enshrined in their hearts the likeness of the poet Ennius, as
they do those of the gods When it appears that a work has
been carried out sumptuously, the owner will be the person to be praised
for the great outlay which he has authorized; when delicately, the
master workman will be approved for his execution; but when proportions
and symmetry lend it an imposing effect, then the glory of it will
belong to the architect.
10 One who in accordance with these notes will take pains in selecting
his method of construction, may count upon having something that will
last But before beginning to explain their natural
properties, I will prefix the motives which originally gave rise to
buildings and the development of inventions in this field, following in
the steps of early nature and of those writers who have devoted
treatises to the origins of civilization and the investigation of

part of the firmament, steadily revolve from east to west, the moon,
Mercury, Venus, the sun, as well as Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, differing
from one another in the magnitude of their orbits as though their
courses were at different points in a flight of steps, pass through
those signs in just the opposite direction, from west to east in the
