Rhino shot dead by poachers at French zoo

Vince was found dead by staff at Thoiry zoo in France on Tuesday morning. Vince was found dead by staff at Thoiry zoo in France on Tuesday morning.  Kim Willsher in Paris Tuesday 7 March 2017 15.59 GMT Last modified on Wednesday 8 March 2017 09.04 GMT Poachers have broken into a French zoo, killing a four-year-old white rhinoceros and sawing off its horn. Keepers found the dead animal, named Vince, in the African enclosure of the zoo at Thoiry, west of Paris, on Tuesday morning. It had been shot in the head and its large horn removed with a chainsaw. The poachers fled before they could remove the animal’s second horn, either because they were disturbed or because their equipment failed, police said. Authorities described the incident as the first of its kind in Europe. The poachers forced a grill at the rear entrance to the zoo, near the rhinoceros enclosure. They then broke through two further locked doors into the building containing three white rhino on Monday night. “It’s possible the thieves didn’t have time to take the others,” a police spokesman said. Park director Thierry Duguet said the attack was “unbelievable” and that Vince had been one of the most popular attractions at the zoo. “It’s extremely shocking,” Duguet told 20 Minutes newspaper. “An act of such-read more

what-are-cognitive-abilities/

 First of all, what is cognition? Cognition has to do with how a person understands the world and acts in it. It is the set of mental abilities or processes that are part of nearly every human action while we are awake. Cognitive abilities are brain-based skills we need to carry out any task from the simplest to the most complex. They have more to do with the mechanisms of how we learn, remember, problem-solve, and pay attention, rather than with any actual knowledge. For instance, answering the telephone involves perception (hearing the ring tone), decision taking (answering or not), motor skill (lifting the receiver), language skills (talking and understanding language), social skills (interpreting tone of voice and interacting properly with another human being). Cognitive abilities or skills are supported by specific neuronal networks. For instance memory skills rely mainly on parts of the temporal lobes and parts of the frontal lobes (behind the forehead). In the table below, you can browse through the main brain functions involved in cognition. You will also find brain teasers that will help you exercise the cognitive abilities described.

NO MORE CHANGE FOR BANK?

Bank ,a 25 year old green sea turtle had the following found in her stomach -915 coins,weighing 11 lb in mass .Bank a girl had this discovered when she was saved by sailors who spotted her in agony at seaside town of si racha,thailand,the coins were cracking her base nearly causing a near fatal infection .It took 5 surgeons 4 hours to remove the coins through a 4 inch incision in bangkok.Turtles can live up to 80 years and many thai,s believe throwing coins on them will bring humans long life.

MARS SEA?

A mineral from one of mars metorites may have originally cintain hydrogen which could suggest more water on the planet then first thought .This discovery was made by simulating conditions of ejecting metorites from the red planet and could suggest life was on mars. University of Nevada.

Are distant radio bursts in space signs of alien sailors?

Fast Radio Bursts. They come from galaxies far, far away, but scientists have no idea what they are.
FRBs have mystified scientists ever since they burst onto the astronomical scene in 2007. Since then, large radio telescopes have captured fewer than two dozen of the enigmatic flickers, far brighter than most known objects. Now, a pair of Harvard theorists have a wild idea: planet sized beacons that would dwarf the Death Star, and maybe even Starkiller Base.
Lasting mere thousandths of a second, the radio pulses are far too bright to match what we know about other sources that emit energy in bursts, such as the spinning neutron stars known as pulsars.
"There is no known astronomical object that generates radio bursts at such a high brightness, which is tens of billions of times brighter than the known population of pulsars, for example," co-author of the paper Avi Loeb of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics told Gizmodo.-read more

How to Use a Defibrillator

Defibrillation is an electrical shock delivered to the heart designed to terminate a life-threatening arrhythmia or cardiac arrest. The Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a device capable of automatically detecting a heart rhythm that requires a shock.^[1] If you are around when someone has sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), you can follow a few simple steps to use an AED to save his life.

1

Confirm cardiac arrest. If you see a person who appears to have an emergency episode, you need to check to ensure that it is cardiac arrest before you use an AED. Check to see if the victim is unable to respond, if he is breathing, and his pulse. You can use the ABC method.^[2] If you find no pulse or breath, you need to start CPR.

• Airway: You need to make sure the airway is open before you check his breathing. To do this, tilt back his head and lift up his chin.^[3] If you see an object obstructing the airway, remove it.
• Breathing: Lean in closely to listen for breathing. Look to see if his chest is rising and falling.^[4]
• Circulation: Feel for a pulse. Signs of circulatory issues include color changes, sweating, and a lower level of consciousness.^{[5]-read more it may help}

DNA provides window into early Aboriginal history

Scientists have used hair to locate where distinct Aboriginal groups lived in Australia up to 50,000 years ago.

The genetic study could help reconnect indigenous families with ancestral communities, according to the University of Adelaide-led study.
It shows the first Australians spread rapidly before largely spending continuous time in distinct areas.
The research is an important step in learning more about ancestry prior to European settlement, the authors said.
It again confirmed that Aboriginal Australians descended from a single population that arrived 50,000 years ago from New Guinea, when it was joined to Australia.

Genetic map

The research, published in the journal Nature, analysed 111 hair samples taken by anthropologists from across Australia in the early 20th Century.
The DNA allowed researchers to trace maternal ancestry through unique genetic material.
"What we've found is that we can see right the way back to the first colonisation of Australia by Aboriginal people," said lead author Prof Alan Cooper.-read more

Neanderthals 'self-medicated' for pain

Neanderthals dosed themselves with painkillers and possibly penicillin, according to a study of their teeth.

One sick Neanderthal chewed the bark of the poplar tree, which contains a chemical related to aspirin.
He may also have been using penicillin, long before antibiotics were developed.
The evidence comes from ancient DNA found in the dental tartar of Neanderthals living about 40,000 years ago in central Europe.
Microbes and food stuck to the teeth of the ancient hominins gives scientists a window into the past.
By sequencing DNA preserved in dental tartar, international researchers have found out new details of the diet, lifestyle and health of our closest extinct relatives.
"Their behaviour and their diet looks a lot more sophisticated and a lot more like us in-read more

The woolly mammoth died out after losing its warm coat… and its sex life

The woolly mammoth was not so furry when it died out… growing a weird, semi transparent satin coat.

New research suggests the mammoth also had a poor sense of smell – and sex life – just before being wiped out after suffering a “genomic meltdown”.Experts say this can happen when a once thriving species reaches the brink of extinction, as small populations develop mutations caused by in breeding.

The last mammoth disappeared from the planet almost 4,000 years ago, but the groundbreaking findings have implications for animal conservation today.

They also shed fresh light on the theory of evolution, and serves as a warning for those interested in bringing the woolly mammoth back to life, known scientifically as “de-extinction.”

There are at least three teams trying to rebuild the whole mammoth genome – which could one day become a template to recreate actual mammoths.-READ MORE

Distinctive British bird is under threat of EXTINCTION as they lose habitats

The curlew with its distinctive call and long curved bill is under threat as experts warn the species faces extinction world-wide.

In Britain they are a regular site on coastal marshes and mud-flats easily identifiable by their long legs and curved bill.

But ornithologists reports that although curlew species occur on all continents except Antarctica some species may already have become extinct.

Nicola Crockford, policy officer for the RSPB, said: "The Eurasian curlew is an iconic species - its appearance in spring is announced by one of nature's most evocative calls.-READ MORE

Treasure hunters find oldest ever hoard of Iron Age GOLD in British field

TREASURE hunters have found the oldest Iron Age gold jewellery ever discovered in Britain.

Pals Mark Hambleton and Joe Kania found the stash – named the Leekfrith Iron Age Torcs – buried in a muddy Staffordshire field in December last year.The pair found three necklaces and a bracelet made of near-solid 18 carat gold in farmland in Leekfrith, in the Staffordshire Moorlands.

They have been eagerly awaiting an inquest, which took place today and confirmed that the items are the real deal.

Amateur metal detector fanatic Hambleton, 59, admitted that he has been sleeping with the haul next to his bed.

–– ADVERTISEMENT ––

He said he searched the same field once before about 20 years ago, but without success.

After scouring the ground in the mid-winter cold last year, he was ready to call it a day when suddenly pal Mr Kania got a signal.

Mr Hambleton said: “We have found the odd Victorian coin, but mostly it has just been junk.”

“Joe said to me ‘I think I’ve found something a bit special’ and he was dangling it in front of my face.

“That’s when I started to get a bit dizzy and weak at the knees.

“I said to him ‘You know what this means – we have to search the area now’.”-read more
