BEES HAVE FALSE MEMORIES?

A study in U .K has shown the following.Bees can become muddled by false memories just in the same way humans do.

Whaa? Now there's a second bright light on dwarf planet Ceres

Could dwarf planet Ceres be watching us watching it? As NASA's Dawn spacecraft approaches the largest object in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, it seems to be lighting up. Not long after images of Ceres revealed a strange reflective spot, another dimmer one came into view in the latest NASA images, giving the appearance of a spooky pair of eyes peering back at Dawn. So what's going on here? Metallic mineral deposits? The local ice skating rink on an improbably shiny frozen lake in the bottom of a huge crater? A giant Ceresian mirror or solar farm? The answer is...we have no idea. RELATED STORIES This dwarf planet may contain more freshwater than Earth Sharper images of dwarf-planet Ceres show strange bright spots NASA's Dawn gets its best glimpse yet of dwarf planet Ceres The CraveCast fails to grasp the desire to die on Mars "Ceres' bright spot can now be seen to have a companion of lesser brightness, but apparently in the same basin. This may be pointing to a volcano-like origin of the spots, but we will have to wait for better resolution before we can make such geologic interpretations," said UCLA's Chris Russell, principal investigator for the Dawn mission, in a statement Wednesday. As Dawn gets closer, the images sent back of Ceres become more clear and, frankly, more weird. The above image with the two bright spots was taken from about 29,000 miles from the surface of the dwarf planet. Dawn will continue its approach until March 6, when it will enter orbit around Ceres to get better views for a period of 16 months. In the coming months, those strange bright spots should come more into focus, as should the underlying nature of Ceres, which many believe may be hiding more freshwater than we have here on Earth.FOLLOW LINK TO PHOTOS-http://www.cnet.com/news/whaa-now-theres-a-second-bright-light-on-dwarf-planet-ceres/

AIDS IN 1908?

It is being claimed that the  first  human to die from aids or h.i.v virus  got if from a chimp  killed  for meat  in 1908.The man  from South East Cameroon was inflected when blood got  into open wound.This was found by  d .n. av by science writer DAVID QUAMMEN ..IN HIS BOOK THE CHIMP AND THE RIVER  and believes it lurked undiagnosed  in Africans untill Hati began spreading in 1969

IS THIS STUDY SERIOUS?

Well researchers  at St.Andrews University ,Scotland  dressed a volunteer in a gorilla suit to test how people react to Bigfoot sightings,used a busy road .Also looking into flying saucers,sea monsters and keeping work secret  until  published in journals-DR CHARLES PAXTON.

Dutch town takes up umbrellas against rogue owl attacks

Residents in the northern Dutch town of Purmerend have been advised to take umbrellas out at night after a spate of attacks by an owl. Dozens of residents have suffered head injuries over the past three weeks at the claws of the rogue European eagle owl. Two runners were attacked on Tuesday, with one requiring stitches for five separate head wounds. The European eagle owl's usual prey are small mammals and birds. Falconer One of the sites of the attacks has been a home for the disabled. Liselotte de Bruijn, a spokeswoman for the home, told the AFP news agency that residents and workers had suffered at least 15 separate attacks by the nocturnal bird, which remains at large. "During the day there's no problem, but at night we now only venture outside armed with umbrellas, helmets and hats, anything really, to protect ourselves," said Ms de Bruijn. Dutch bank Rabobank has donated umbrellas to the home, and a spokesman for the company told local broadcaster RTVNH that it-read more-http:///news/world-europe-31628508

David j pollard interviewed by mark antony raines aka ghostman

Hi Mark

What inspired me - to be honest I cannot remember not being interested in animals/wildlife. It is more like who inspired me ? - four people:- Desmond Morris, Johnny Morris, Gerald Durrell and Sir David Attenborough (Zoo quests etc) and as I grew up I added Alfred Russell Wallace to that list.

I remember had a 'Why and Wonder' book of reptiles that had a picture of a gaboon viper and a gila monster on the front and to this day these are two species that makes me tingle.

As I said I am a lifelong naturalist and interested in wildlife and habitats in UK and all over world. I am now lucky enough to pursue it as a career. When I was 18 mum told me to get a proper job ! so I went to work for the Health Service then Social Service and finally Probation Service - all the time taking time off to carry out surveys. Then in 1998 it all changed I left work went back to college and the rest as they say is history.

As a professional ecologist I have worked for small companies and large multidisciplinary organisations I now work for myself I am a part time lecturer in Ecology/Survey Techniques ID etc at a local college and also carry out professional ecological services - I also carry out my own research into adders and amphibians.

My professional aim is to provide pragmatic ecological advice, my personal aims is to carry on learning about the natural world every day I learn something new (Today I found out from field researchers at Fauna and Flora International that mountain gorillas 'sing' when they are happy ! love it)

The Future: I will keep watching wildlife both in the UK and abroad, one day I would like to write a scientific paper about adders or amphibians

In 2011 we went to Uganda on a family holiday and whilst we were there in Eastern Uganda I found a frog that had never been recorded in Uganda (West African Rubber Frog Phrynomantis microps) It has only been recorded twice in East Africa my record photo etc and a written account from Ethiopia. We are hoping to return next year for further exploration of the amphibians you never know what I might find - I personally think it is an area where little or no study has taken place so it is most likely under recording of species rather than new species but !!!

Like most naturalists I would love to find a new species - and I think that is what keeps us all looking !

I am fascinated by a mystery and that is why cryptozoology interests me

I hope this is what  you are looking for

My very best regards

David
