Мистичният монголски Червей на Смъртта
Oct 13th
Ако случайно някой ден се окажете в пустинята Гоби, не се притеснявайте толкова дали ще намерите вода или не.Много преди това може да ви сполети неочаквана смърт,за която няма да е виновно нито слънцето, нито сипкавия пясък.Скрит под жежките пясъчни дюни, може да ви изненада едно същество, толкова митично, колкото и мистично.

With a world full of monitors and electronic displays made with licuid crystals, light-emitting diodes and gas plasma, you probably don’t think of paper as being a revolutionary display technology, but the Chinese invention of paper in 105 A.D. forever changed the way the world communicates. Without it, books might still be printed on silk scrolls that only the wealthy could afford, making literacy a rare skill.
Look around you: It would be nearly impossible to live one day without coming into contact with paper in some form. This year, the world will consume an estimated 280 million tons of paper, according to the National Association of Paper Merchants in England. That is equal to 56 trillion sheets of letter-size 20-pound bond paper.

Humpback whales and most other species produce a wide range of sounds on a daily basis. In many species, whales seem to form close bonds with one another, and their calls may serve to let their companion whales know where they are and what they are doing. Water is an excellent fluid for conducting sound, and whale calls can be extremely loud, so they may communicate with one another over hundreds, perhaps thousands of miles. Whale experts are concerned that the noise pollution caused by boats, offshoredrilling and other human activities in the ocean is drowning out these calls, shutting down the whale’s long-distance communication system.
