The Sad World Of The Misunderstood House Spider | Runt Of The Web - StumbleUpon If there’s one arthropod with an unfortunately bad rap in the human world, it’s the common house spider. Generally reclusive and non-threatening to people, spiders eat all the creatures that annoy humans (mosquitoes, flies, and roaches) while occupying the empty crevices of human shelter. And yet their very presence makes the average person go after these benevolent creatures with a fury. And so we present the sad world of the Misunderstood House Spider: Enjoy the misunderstood house spider meme? I waste so much time There is a lot of food in this house... Modern Art Where is your trunk, human? I'm an enchanter! This would solve a lot of problems. As an anxious person... Nails In Motion Michael F. Jacobson: Amputation, Impotence, Painful Dentistry: Soda Equals Sadness When it comes to making people feel good about a brand, no one does it more skillfully than Coca-Cola. Picture a perfectly multicultural, sun-dappled chorus wanting to teach the world to sing. Or "Mean Joe Green" tossing his jersey to a young boy who offered him a Coke. The company circulates videos of its vending machines "dispensing happiness" in the form of balloon animals and free pizza in one instance and by soliciting hugs in another. The message is that Coke equals happiness. That's pretty close to Pepsi's message, too. Soda might have been a source of happiness when it was served occasionally in 6.5- or 10-ounce bottles. The Real Bears is an animated short film we produced in order to tell the truth about Big Soda. If this film does anything, I hope it encourages people to view the soda industry's marketing messages in a critical new light. For more by Michael F. For more healthy living health news, click here.
Seafloor Explorer The Science of Seafloor Explorer HabCam (Habitat Mapping Camera System) HabCam is a cabled optical and acoustic imaging system that is "flown" from a ship traveling at 5 kts at an altitude of 1 to 3 meters off the bottom at depths to 250m while collecting high resolution still images at a rate of six images per second. Imaging at this rate provides ~50% overlap to allow for construction of image mosaics of the seafloor. Fauna, flora, benthic maps and more For the past five years, study areas along the northeast continental shelf have been revisited seasonally, with measurements of all visible macrofauna, and characterization of benthic fauna and flora, oceanic properties (salinity, temperature, nutrients) and substrate type, providing the baseline of an exceptional and unique ecological time series.
