“Extinct” Pinocchio Lizard Found in Ecuador It’s no lie—scientists have spotted a lizard with a nose like Pinocchio in an Ecuadorian cloud forest. What’s more, the long-nosed reptile was thought extinct, having been seen only a few times in the past 15 years. “It’s hard to describe the feelings of finding this lizard. Finding the Pinocchio anole was like discovering a secret, a deeply held secret. Not surprisingly, the defining feature of the Pinocchio lizard—properly named Anolis proboscis, or the horned anole—is the male’s long protrusion on the end of its nose. Despite its peculiar appearance, the reptile wasn’t formally described by scientists until 1953. Watch a video of the Pinocchio lizard. “For 40 years, no one saw it. Why Did the Lizard Cross the Road? Then, in 2005, a group of bird-watchers near Mindo spotted a strange-looking lizard crossing the road.

Here’s 7 helpful tips on how to reduce emotional baggage. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. The Latest Pokémon Anime Really Nails Pokémon Red And Blue I want to say two things. First, that was at the very end of the game. Post game, where the story is essentially over and new pokemon become available. Second. The fight was good until that Mega Evo part appeared. And Transformers here they weren't a commercial and actually, the two ones I got [a gigantic lunar base from the 2nd or 3rd series and one of the old school Autobots that nobody cares about somewhere at parents home], came from my dad trips to foreign countries since he was at the navy in the past =P He saw them, knew I liked to watch the show and got it for me. Maybe I got used to that fact that only recently [as in few years ago] Portugal started to have tons of publicity at tv about cartoons and anime but it ruins a bit it :\ "You had the power to make it perfect but you had to ruin it!" Seconded. Waste of time and a slap in the face.
An Open Letter To Young Freelancers | Thrillbent An open letter to young freelancers: In the long run, the quality of your work is all that matters. As a professional comics writer, I sold my first script twenty-nine years and what feels like three separate lifetimes ago. Despite not being especially good early on, I’ve been steadily employed since the beginning, which stretches the laws of probability far beyond the breaking point. Ever since history’s first cave painter got notes from his tribal leader, freelancers have been complaining about “editorial interference.” And there are a lot of good comics editors out there, probably more than ever, and I applaud them. What I see a lot of freelancers going through today in the work-for-hire arena is just unreal, and the horror stories of personal and professional abuse I’m hearing from the trenches on a regular, almost-daily basis are mind-blowing to me–not only because I’m sympathetic, but because every single one of their experiences is utterly antithetical to the creative process.

How to unleash your body's own healing power without supplements (NaturalNews) The corpse pose, or savasana, is the last posture, or asana, in any Hatha Yoga routine. It's apparently the easiest, because one lies flat on one's back without moving. But it's actually the most difficult to master, because it's so internal. It's powerful enough that anyone can benefit from it without practicing other yoga postures. It's not for just getting a breather or having a moment to take it easy. But it's not fully appreciated for what it does, even among many yoga students and teachers. As you gain more control over your body's different muscles by relaxing them, you are slipping away from the more manic pursuits of our diseased culture. The corpse pose aligns your subtle body with your physical. Ultimately, your experience is the final judge of how well you do the corpse pose. Lay flat on your back, legs apart slightly and arms slightly apart from your body with palms up. Avoid falling asleep. As you progress, sometimes relaxed muscles tense up again.
How To Clean Your Arteries With One Simple Fruit Share by Sayer Ji | Green Med Info The future of cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment will not be found in your medicine cabinet, rather in your kitchen cupboard or in your back yard growing on a tree. A new study published in the journal Atherosclerosis confirms that pomegranate extract may prevent and/or reverse the primary pathology associated with cardiac mortality: the progressive thickening of the coronary arteries caused by the accumulation of fatty materials known as atherosclerosis. Mice with a genetic susceptibility towards spontaneous coronary artery blockages were given pomegranate extract via their drinking water for two weeks, beginning at three weeks of age.
