Flying Fish Exocoetidae

Exocoetidae, usually called Flying Fish, is a family of fishes aptly named for their ability to emerge out of the water and fly for long distances with their outstretched pectoral fins. Asian countries, like China, Vietnam, and Japan commercially fished flying fish. including the Caribbean where it’s a coveted flimsiness. In many Japanese cuisine, the flying fish is used to make some sort of sushi. It is also a used in the diet of the Tao people of Taiwan. In Barbados, flying fish were heavily threatened by pollution and overfishing, and changing the occurrences of flying fish in the waters off of Barbados. This sparked a fishing controversy between Barbados, and Trinidad and Tobago maneuverability. These fishes are known as four-winged flying fish.Flying fish are thought to have evolved this extraordinary gliding ability to get away predators, of which they have many. Their pursuers include mackerel, tuna, swordfish, marlin, and other larger fish. unluckily, this elusive maneuver is not enough to escape the biggest predator on earth humans.

Their streamlined torpedo shape assist them gather enough underwater speed to break the surface, and their large, wing-like fins get them airborne. Once in the air, these fishes can glide over considerable distances. Their flights are naturally around 50 meters, but some fishes have been recorded to fly up to 200 meters or even more. Some species of flying fish have enlarged pelvic fins as well as enlarged pectoral fins, which let them to fly further than two winged gliders up to 400 meters, and have far greater To glide upward out of the water, a flying fish moves its tail up to 70 times per second. It then spreads its pectoral fins and tilts them to some extent upward to provide lift. At the end of a glide, it folds its pectoral fins to reenter the sea, or fall its tail into the water to push against the water to lift itself for another glide, possibly changing direction. The curved profile of the "wing" is comparable to the aerodynamic shape of a bird wing. The fish is recognized to take advantage of updrafts created by air currents to boost its time of flight.

Amazing Boardman Tree Farm, Orgeon, USA

The Boardman Tree Farm is situated in Morrow, county Oregon, along Interstate 84, 5 miles west of the I-82 junction. Boardman Tree Farm is owned by the GreenWood Tree Farm Fund and operated by a Portland-based tree farm management group GreenWood Resources, this 25,000 acres beautiful land comprises thousands of hybrid poplar trees, which are efficiently arranged in evenly spaced rows, and they are about the similar sizes, identical height and equal thickness. It’s such a fantastic sight that GreenWood Resources would conduct group tours for those visitors willing to invest some time and effort.

This Tree Farm is just one of the many holdings of GreenWood Resources in, South America, North America and China, but obviously one of the most accessible, being situated next to the interstate. The boardman farm is broken up into 40-acre and 70-acre plots with easy access of roads separating the plots from each other on all sides. Each plots comprises 600 trees per acre. For irrigation purpose, the farm employs nine 1,000 horsepower pumps that pull water from the Columbia River at a rate of up to 117,000 gallons per minute. In deed, this is the largest facility drip irrigation system in the country, with more than 9,000 miles of drip line. This whole system is controlled by computer so that each tree gets a very specific amount of water, allowing it to grow at an implausible rate while not wasting resources, like water or money. Moreover; use of chemical pesticides is limited, as integrated pest management processes are employed. Sawdust and the refuse from harvesting is chopped back into the soil, limiting the requirement for chemical fertilizers.

Therefore; type of tree they grow in the tree farm is called Pacific Albus, a trademarked name that loosely means Pacific whitewood. It’s a hybrid of 4 to 5 different poplars, cross strained for better yield, quicker growth, less use of irrigation water, straighter growth.The Boardman trees take 10 to 12 years to reach its maturity after which they are felled and sent to the mill where they are formed into boards and wood chips. The wood chips are mainly used for paper manufacturing, while tallers and older trees are harvested for lumber products. Any specific part of the trees that can’t be made into boards is turned into pulp or hog fuel. However; sawdust from the sanding mill is compressed into bricks for fireplaces and wood stoves.

Harvesting is contracted out to independent logging companies and on a normal day, 25 loads of saw logs and another 25 loads of chip logs from the saw log side, and probably 13 loads of chip logs from our thinning side, and up around 65 loads a day that will deliver to the mill, and each load averages about 35 to 40 net tons. The sawmill, is located roughly in the center of the tree farm, and process the produce of 2,000 acres of land each year. The processed lumber is sold to China, Indonesia, and Malaysia, Mexico, as the biggest off-shore buyers.

Unique Hanshin Expressway in Japan

This is almost well known by everyone, that current traffic needs high quality roads. Japanese are so inventive, quality conscion to find out different ways of making their life easier, even they’ve to their  highway passes through a building.

Moreover, despite the earthquake that caused severe damage to some sections of the Hanshin Expressway, the Japanese road infrastructure is a striking web that seems rather surreal.This building is located at Fukushima in Osaka City, Japan. When the owner of this building wanted to rebuild his building, the exit of Hanshin expressway had been planned to pass this block. The owner that did not want to sell his building and then negotiated with Hanshin Expressway Company and the result was this road-combined building. The construction was completed in 1992.

The Real War Horse

Animals are always considered warriors when they needed. Staff Sgt. Reckless was no different from the Marines she served with during the Korean War: She braved enemy fire, liked eggs and coffee, and drinking beer with comrades. Except Reckless was a horse. She's long been considered a hero for her service and was recently honored with a statue at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Virginia. This horse is beautiful and they made the statue ! Horses are so unappreciated. They're extremely smart and show feelings! Horses just like dogs are an important part of country's history, war etc. they are the most loyal companions you will ever have. Marines who served with Reckless point to the Battle of Outpost Vegas in March 1953 as one of her finest moments. During the battle, she reportedly made 51 trips from the ammunition supply point to the front lines, carrying almost five tons of ammunition and dodging enemy fire of up to 500 rounds per minute. And when Reckless spotted a wounded Marine, she would usher him to safety.

Brazilian man who has been in hospital for 45 years

Brazilian man Paulo Henrique Machado has lived almost his entire life in hospital. As a baby he suffered infantile paralysis brought on by polio, and he is still hooked up to an artificial respirator 24 hours a day. But despite this, he has trained as a computer animator and is now creating a television series about his life. He has lived in hospital for 45 years on wheel chair. Playing with football or toys wasn't an option for me, for that's just using my imagination. His mother was died when he was only 2 days old and as a baby he contracted with polio. 

Blood Falls is an iron oxide-tainted plume of salt-water

Blood Falls is an iron oxide-tainted plume of salt-water that flows from Taylor Glacier in East Antarctica’s McMurdo Dry Valleys during the summer months. It was exposed in 1911 by Australian geologist, Griffith Taylor, who first explored the valley that bears his name. The Antarctica pioneers first attributed the red colour to red algae, but later it was proven to be due only to iron oxides, and is home to 17 types of microbes that have been living in complete isolation without oxygen for millions of years.  This rare place offers researchers a unique opportunity to study deep subsurface microbial life in thrilling conditions without the need to drill deep boreholes in the polar ice cap, with the associated contamination risk of a fragile and still-intact environment. Experts of the NASA Astrobiology Institute speculate that these worlds could contain subglacial liquid water environments favorable to hosting elementary forms of life which would be better protected at depth from ultraviolet and cosmic radiation than on the surface. 

15 Years old boy save the life of Red Fox without concerns to his own life.

Luke Rowles when he was only 15, he saw a group of peoples in a garden, kicking and badly beating this poor fox whose mouth had been sealed shut with duct tape. This young guy went straight to them without concern to his own safety. The world really needs more brave heart people like Luke Rowles, with an unconditional will to help those in need. It doesn’t matter if the fox was a pest or not, respect life. You don’t duct tape its mouth and beat it. That poor fox was defenseless. Would you do that to your own children or pets if they were a pest? I should hope not. Indeed good for young man and we need more caring of our wild animals such as Luke. They were on this earth long before we were. We live in the country and it always thrills our souls to understand a life of beautiful red fox. We love them and taught our children’s to respect wild life. We loved to see the foxes, red tailed hawks, rabbits, and all sorts of song birds. We can't fathom how some humans can be unkind enough to anguish defenseless animals. They are sick in their soul. Any 'animal' who would do that to a little fox is not a human being. They are monsters. If you have to torment a little creature to feel big and important you are one sorry soul. Bless the young man who helped this red fox. We only wish he had several big brothers to whip the idiots who did this. No tape needed-let them scream. We hope he was featured in his local news and given a Good Samaritan award. It's not the fox fault for being so close to humans we have built on their homes they have nowhere to go.

The World's Largest Building Opens in China, Complete With Fake Mediterranean Village

China is so good at creating big things from wind farms and rubber ducks to gigantic batteries. The newest super-sized project to spring up in the nation is the largest free standing building in the world the New Century Global Center. The latest super-building is 100 meters high, 500 meters long and 400 meters wide, with a floor space of 1.7 million square meters. That’s a big enough to construct 20 Sydney Opera Houses, or three times larger than The Pentagon.

The latest Century Global Center is situated in Chengdu, which is the capital of the Sichuan province in southwestern China. The attractive building, which opened this week, will play host to a wide range of business offices, theaters, shopping malls, hotels, and a faux Mediterranean village and family-themed attractions such as a water park called Paradise Island. The lovely building is designed to be the crown jewel of a newly rejuvenated area of Chengdu called Tainfu New District. Chengdu’s subway line is being expanded to serve the new district, and a new airport is likely to be constructed by th end of 2020, transforming the area into the new economic and cultural capital of western China.

Tokyo Skytree, the world's tallest broadcasting tower and second tallest man-made structure after the Dubai's Burj Khalifa.

Tokyo is now home to the Tokyo Skytree, the world's tallest broadcasting tower and second tallest man-made structure after the Dubai's Burj Khalifa and Rising 2,080-feet into the sky. Tokyo Skytree has two main objects; one is to relay TV and radio signals that the Tokyo Tower can no longer do reliably and 2^nd is to act as a tourism hotspot with two observation decks and a restaurant that will draw up to 32 million visitors annually. Construction on the Skytree first started nearly four years ago on July 14, 2008 although the entirety of the structure was completed on February 29, 2012. It is also built to be even more earthquake-proof than any previous structure in Japan and is capable of absorbing 50 % of a quake's energy. Moreover the tower can glow blue and purple thanks to built-in LEDs. Flickr user hiropismo has a nice timelapse of the Tokyo Skytree changing colors that is worth a look. We have compiled some of our favorite Tokyo Skytree photos we have seen in the gallery below. If you can't fly over to Japan and check it out in person, this is the next best thing. The gigantic Skytree was designed by architects at Nikken Sekkai and developed by Tobu Railway and NHK, Japan's national broadcasting organization.
