Fossil mushroom discovered from the era of the dinosaurs

With a classic shape, gills and a sturdy stalk, it wouldn’t look out of place in a stir-fry – but in fact it’s the fossilised remains of a mushroom thought to have sprouted about 115m years ago. It is the world’s oldest known fossil mushroom, and it is remarkable that it was preserved at all.
“It is pretty astonishing,” said Sam Heads, a palaeontologist and co-author of the research from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. “Mushrooms are really ephemeral in the sense that to begin with they sprout up, they grow and then usually they are gone within a few days – but they are not around for very long. Also when you consider their structure, they are very soft and fleshy and so they decay really rapidly, so the chances of one being preserved are pretty minuscule.”
While fossilised fungal filaments have previously been found dating back several hundreds of millions of years, only 10 fossil mushrooms, the fruiting body produced by some fungi, have ever been discovered – with the previous oldest dating to 99m years ago.
What’s more, all of these previously discovered fossilised mushrooms were trapped in amber. “You imagine mushrooms are growing on the forest floor, resin drops out of the trees onto the forest floor – and encapsulates a mushroom,” said Heads. “That is a much more likely scenario than the scenario that we see with this mushroom.”READ MORE

Teacher bitten by shark in water off Devon beach is 'first surfer to be attacked in UK'

A surfer has described how he hit a shark on the head after it bit him on the leg while he was in the water off a Devon beach.
Teacher Rich Thomson, 30, estimated the shark was about 3ft (1m) long while experts said it was the first incident of its type involving surfers in UK waters.
Mr Thomson said the shark "grabbed me on the leg" at Bantham in South Devon and he turned to see a "little shark" on his thigh, wriggling it head from side to side.
Speaking to the BBC, he said: "I hit it on the head and it swam off. My hand was cut to pieces.

WRONG

Terrorism is wrong in whatever name it is given as innocents suffer and nothing is resolved.In a way it is a form of bullying to make us live in fear and hatred fro groups of people involved ,yes be sense able but keep going as it the right thing to do.

I always like the fact how people mostly knock region whatever your faith or belief maybe.But in times of trouble or personal problems like in my own case at moment of grief we turn to pray.Pray is a way too find comfort and empowering yourself to help your state of mind.

England beat Venezuela 1-0 in the Under-20 World Cup final.

Yes it has finally happened in my lifetime ENGLAND have won a world cup in football ,the under 20 world cup 2017 making it the second greatest success in world football since 1966 .

Highlights: England win the U20 World Cup
England won their biggest international title since 1966 by beating Venezuela 1-0 in the Under-20 World Cup final.
It was England's first appearance in the final of a global tournament since their World Cup victory 51 years ago.
Everton forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin's first-half goal was enough for victory thanks to Newcastle goalkeeper Freddie Woodman's second-half penalty save.
Woodman denied Adalberto Penaranda from the spot after the Malaga forward was fouled by Kyle Walker-Peters.
With 17 minutes to play, the referee pointed to the spot to signal a penalty before immediately referring to the video assistant referee.
The decision stood - there was the slightest of contacts - but Newcastle keeper Woodman's strong palm kept out Penaranda's effort.
In the first half Ronaldo Lucena hit the post with an audacious long-range free-kick that had Woodman well beaten, while Tottenham midfielder Josh Onomah saw a powerful effort strike the underside of the Venezuela bar after the break.
After the match, England forward Dominic Solanke, due to join Liverpool from Chelsea on 1 July, was awarded the Golden Ball given to the player of the tournament. Previous winners of the award include Diego Maradona, Lionel Messi, Luis Figo, Paul Pogba and Sergio Aguero.
Woodman was awarded the Golden Glove, given to best goalkeeper of the tournament.-read more and see video highlights of game

Dogs and wolves share sense of fair play

The sense of fair play is an important human trait, but new research suggests that it's a key behaviour for dogs and wolves as well.
In tests, if one animal was given a more substantial reward when performing a task, the other one downed tools completely.
It had been felt that this aversion to unfairness was something that dogs had learned from humans.
But the tests with wolves suggest that this predates domestication of dogs.
Scientists have long recognised that what they term a "sensitivity to inequity", or a sense of fairness, played an important role in the evolution of co-operation between humans. Basically, if others treated you badly, you quickly learned to stop working -read more

THE CHRONICLES OF CHARLOTTE ELIZABETH by Jo coombe




Hi Mark, 

I really appreciate the opportunity to get the word out about my book !!

I started writing it a number of times, the first chapter kept going round and round in my head like an ear worm !!  I was dreaming it, living it, being kept awake by it, so I decided to put it down on paper, if only to get a chance of some sleep!!  I wrote most of it then got disheartened and left it on a shelf to gather dust, it was only after making contact with a couple of author friends via the internet that I actually felt able to take the plunge and get it published!!

The authors in question are Keith McCloskey, author of The Dyatolov Pass Incident, and Return to Dyatolov Pass.  Also Bill Bradshaw, author of From the Horses Mouth, A Jailers Tale and his new book Hello Welcome which is about to hit the book shops.

I sent Bill a sample chapter for a bit of advice, he was amazingly encouraging and gave me the impetus to get another couple of chapters on paper and seek publication.  The first three publishers I sent it to all accepted the book and wanted to publish, however, they all wanted me to sell and Kidney in order to do so !!  That's where Keith stepped in, he was pretty scathing about that type of publisher and advised me to do as he had just done, and publish through Amazon, which has worked out really well, it's just the hard work of getting it noticed now !!

Charlotte is now 18 and is suffering from severe Autism, severe Epilepsy, severe learning and speech delays.  She is generally a happy bunny, however, she can turn on a sixpence and will cross the room to give you a thump !!  Nowadays she is taller than me, so it really hurts if she catches you unawares!! 

I have another book I am working on currently and plan a follow up to this one about Charlotte.  

The other one I am working on is based on the amazing stories my mom told me as a youngster about her and her sisters growing up in the War years, one married a GI and went to live in the US, one had a couple of children with another GI, in addition to the 2 she already had with her husband, who was away in Grand Bahama for 7 years looking after Edward and Mrs Simpson - he had a lovely War, I strongly suspect I have a great many 'relatives' in Grand Bahama !!  My mom was only 15 when the War ended and I suspect had seen and heard more about life than many young people in that day and age could have ever dreamed of!!  It's a very gritty, down to Earth story so far...lots of work to do on that one yet !!
I have put the synopsis below and a note of the reviews I have had from the publishers and Bill.  I have some really lovely reviews on Amazon too.

Let me know if you need anything else, and Thank You once again for this opportunity!!

Yours 

Jo Coombe

Cat paw print discovered on Gloucester Roman roof tile

Roman tile with cat paw printA paw print made by a cat in Roman times has been discovered on a 2,000 year old roof tile in Gloucester.
It was dug up in Berkeley Street in 1969 but the footprint has only just been discovered.
The print was found by an archaeologist at Gloucester City Museum who was examining thousands of fragments of Roman roof tile.
The cat is thought to have snuck across the wet tiles which were drying in the sun in about AD100.
The tile, a type called tegula, was used on the roof of a building in what became the Berkeley Street area of modern Gloucester, a spokesman said.
Councillor Lise Noakes, from Gloucester City Council, said it was a "fascinating discovery".
"Dog paw prints, people's boot prints and even a piglet's trotter print have all been found on tiles from Roman Gloucester, but cat prints are very rare," she said.-read more

Torrejonia wilsoni

Torrejonia fossil material (T. wilsoni).A partial fossilised skeleton of a very ancient ancestor of humans discovered in north-western New Mexico has revealed that the first primates lived in trees and that they were not obligate ground-dwellers.  More complete fossil material shows that the Palaeocene plesiadapiform known as Torrejonia wilsoni was adapted for a life in the trees.  The fossil discovery is important as most of the Palaeocene mammals associated with the first primates (Euprimates) are only known from a handful of bones and isolated teeth.-read more

Dog skull study reveals genetic changes linked to face shape

A study of dog DNA has revealed a genetic mutation linked to flat face shapes such as those seen in pugs and bulldogs.
The research reveals new insights into the genes that underpin skull formation in people and animals.
Scientists say their findings also shed light on the causes of birth defects that affect babies' head development in the womb.
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh's Roslin Institute analysed DNA samples from 374 pet dogs of various pedigree and mixed breeds. The dogs were being treated at the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies.
All of the animals underwent body scans as part of their care, producing detailed 3-dimensional images of the dogs' heads.
These high-resolution images -- called CT scans -- enabled the researchers to take precise measurements of the shape of the dog's skull.
By comparing the dogs' genetic information with measurements of their skulls, the team were able to pinpoint DNA variations that are associated with different head shapes.-read more

Baa-humbug! Scientists develop face test for sad sheep

LONDON -- They may look placid while grazing in fields but sheep's faces can tell us a lot, according to scientists in Britain who have developed a new system to work out if sheep are in pain or just feeling sad.

The test is based on 500 photos of sheep collected by veterinarians and used to design an algorithm by researchers at Cambridge University that measures five key markers of ovine facial expressions.

When sheep are in pain their eyes narrow, their cheeks tighten, their ears fold forwards, their lips pull down and back and their nostrils change from a U shape to a V shape, according to the scientists.

They now hope to extend the test to other species, including horses, rabbits and some rodents.

By installing cameras in sheep pens, the scientists hope the test will help farmers spot injuries or illnesses early on and find treatment.-read more

Orbit of Earth-Size Exoplanet TRAPPIST-1h in Alien Solar System Nailed Down

The orbits of all seven Earth-size planets in the TRAPPIST-1 system are now known.
Astronomers have nailed down the path of TRAPPIST-1h, the outermost planet in the system, finding that this world takes just under 19 Earth days to complete one lap around its small, faint host star. 
The new result suggests that TRAPPIST-1h is too cold to host life as we know it, and it confirms that all seven TRAPPIST-1 worlds circle their star in a sort of gravitational lockstep with one another, study team members said. [Exoplanet Tour: Meet the 7 Earth-Size Planets of TRAPPIST-1]
"It's incredibly exciting that we're learning more about this planetary system elsewhere, especially about planet h, which we barely had information on until now," Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator of NASA's Science Mission Directorate at the agency's headquarters in Washington, D.C., said in a statement. -read more

Strange Signals from Outer Space!

For decades some have suspected that there might be others out there, intelligent beings capable of communicating with us, even visiting our world. It might sound like science fiction, but today scientists from across the globe are scouring the universe for signals from extraterrestrials.
In 2006, husband and wife team Duncan Lorimer and Maura McLaughlin discovered an enigmatic signal from space, known as a fast radio burst. It was a pulse of radiation so bright, it didn't appear to be caused by any known object in the universe. Explanations ranged from colliding neutron stars to communication signals from an alien civilisation far more advanced from our own.
Scientists have been searching the cosmos for strange signals like the Lorimer Burst for more than 50 years. The film ends with scientists' latest search for extraterrestial intelligence. Horizon obtained exclusive access to film researchers at the Green Bank Telescope searching for radio signals from Tabby's Star, a star so mysterious that some scientists believe it might be surrounded by a Dyson Sphere, a vast energy collector built by advanced aliens.-read more and see programme

Barbara Raines 26.05.5.2017.in memory of my mum


What can I say about the person I knew as my mum;the person who brought me -mark ;nicky;joanne;jayne into the world. Mum was the one who never told me off when I bunked off school or put a football  through the front room window. She was married to my  dad -Paul Tony Raines who died 13.05.2013;for nearly fifty years. She was not perfect as obsessive with her cleaning but I will  always remember her taking me and Nicky for a meal after work -then as a cleaner at southend hospital I enjoyed the banana split for afters. I would ring  her every week for a chat and she always give to all her grandchildren. Still least she got to see us all get married and see her girls have children if their own. So how do I say goodbye to my mum with a gaze into the Stars and hope she is looking down on me and my sisters and extended family so we can say thank you for being  my mum. -</div>

SUPERMARKET TIPS ... MAY NOT ALWAYS WORK BUT WORTH A TRY.

Did you know listening to upbeat music while you grocery shop may help you spend less? Or that "10 for $10" promotions can sometimes cost you more? Reader's Digest talked to supermarket employees, industry experts and grocery shopping gurus to put together an exhaustive list of the strategies supermarkets use to get shoppers to buy more, as well as some insider advice for shopping smarter. We went through the list and pulled out the 15 best tips for saving money at the grocery store.

1. Don't feel the need to fill your shopping cart.

Shopping carts are getting larger because testing reveals that they encourage customers to buy more. Make a conscious effort to not fill an enormous cart, or grab a basket instead of a cart whenever possible.

2. Go beyond milk, bread, bananas and eggs when comparison shopping.

These four items are the ones customers most commonly rely on to compare prices between stores, but you'll have an easier time identifying deals if you make a longer list of the items you purchase most and the price you usually pay. Keep it in your phone for easy reference while out shopping.

3. Start shopping in the middle of the store.-READ MORE
