Save The Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus Help Save The ENDANGERED From EXTINCTION! The Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus Rare photo of the elusive tree octopus The Pacific Northwest tree octopus (Octopus paxarbolis) can be found in the temperate rainforests of the Olympic Peninsula on the west coast of North America. Their habitat lies on the Eastern side of the Olympic mountain range, adjacent to Hood Canal. An intelligent and inquisitive being (it has the largest brain-to-body ratio for any mollusk), the tree octopus explores its arboreal world by both touch and sight. Map of estimated tree octopus maximum range, including spawning waters Tree octopuses have eyesight comparable to humans. The reproductive cycle of the tree octopus is still linked to its roots in the waters of the Puget Sound from where it is thought to have originated. Why It's Endangered Tree Octopus hat from 1923(Click to enlarge.) The possibility of Pacific Northwest tree octopus extinction is not an unwarranted fear.

Aid Ratings by John Middendorf Photo: Xaver Bongard on the Wyoming Sheep Ranch Climbing sections of rock which are impassable free, yet accept gear to allow progress, is considered aid climbing. The scope of this article is to define the A1 to A5 system of grading individual aid pitches. A0: Also known as "french-free", using gear to make progress, but generally no aiders required. A1: Easy aid: placements straightforward and solid. A2: Moderate aid: placements generally solid but possible awkward and strenuous to place. A2+: Like A2, but possibly several tenuous placements above good pro. 20 to 30 foot fall potential but with little danger of hitting anything. A3: Hard aid: testing methods required. A3+:Like A3, but with dangerous fall potential. A4: Serious aid: lots of danger. 60 to 100 foot fall potentials common, with uncertain landings far below. A5: Extreme aid. A6: (Theoretical grade) A5 climbing with marginal belays which will not hold a fall.

Awsome Children's Books The End About the Author/Illustrator Once a troubled toddler known to eat dirt and cut her own hair, Deanna Molinaro became a mediocre animator and a few inches taller as an adult. In her free time she jet sets (via automobile) between the intriguing state of Texas, the quaint villages of Oklahoma and the Sea of Despair. It is speculated that she maintains a lair in Dallas, which she shares with two dogs and some guy with a guitar.

When Should You Get Resoles? — Tips on Deciding When to Resole Rock Shoes You get attached to your rock shoes and hate to give them up, even for just a week while they get resoled. But you need to pay attention to the rubber soles and rands before they’re too worn to repair. If you wait too long, repairs can be costly or even impossible. Check your rock shoes regularly for wear. Look at the toe and front edges of the sole.The toe rubber wears down the fastest and the most because this is the part of the shoe that we use the most when rock climbing. Peakbagger.com Home Page Climbing, Hiking, Mountaineering Climbing Magazine - Since 1970 The Most Useless Machine EVER! Also known as The Ultimate Machine: Claude E. Shannon built the first one based on an idea by Marvin Minsky. After seeing a video of such a machine I just had to have one of my own. The only design I could find uses a PIC microcontroller but I consider this to be overkill (not knowing how to write code for micros may have had some influence on my humble opinion...). Additionally, the microcontroller version really doesn't shut itself off. It's circuit remains powered even when the switch is in the off position. Knowing a little bit about servos and basic electronics, I felt sure that I could build the machine using a simple analog circuit. My main goal however was to have the machine REALLY turn itself off. The machine in THIS instructable accomplishes that!

Reversal of human cellular senescence: roles of the p53 and p16 pathways : Article : The EMBO Journal Introduction Normal cells do not divide indefinitely due to a process termed replicative senescence. One important mechanism responsible for the replicative senescence of human cells is the erosion and eventual dysfunction of telomeres (Harley et al., 1990; de Lange, 2001). Telomeres are the DNA sequence and associated proteins that cap and stabilize the ends of linear chromosomes, preventing their degradation or fusion by DNA repair systems. Owing to the biochemistry of DNA replication, several dozen base pairs of telomeric DNA are lost with each cell cycle. Replicative senescence is an example of a more general process, herein termed cellular senescence, which arrests the growth of cells in response to many stimuli. p53 and pRB are also important for maintaining the senescence growth arrest, which, in human cells, is thought to be irreversible. Results Telomerase does not reverse the senescence growth arrest Figure 1. hTERT does not reverse the senescent phenotype. Figure 2. Figure 3.
