Scientists recently discovered the aptly named peacock jumping spiders have the color vision needed to appreciate the male's gaudy display. Now biologists are studying whether that ability translates to the more humdrum-looking wolf spiders that are muted browns and tans instead of electric blue, fiery orange and stoplight red.

Birds create songs by moving muscles in their vocal organs to vibrate air passing through their tissues, and new research shows that these muscles act in concert to create sound. Scientists describe how zebra finches produce songs: Using electromyographic signals, they tracked the activity of one muscle involved in creating sound, the syringealis ventralis. They then used the data from this muscle to create a synthetic zebra finch song. [Read More ...]

A psychologist has proposed that humpback whales may use song for long-range sonar. It's the singing whale, not the listening whale who is doing most of the analysis. If correct, the model should change the direction of how we study whales. [Read More ...]
By examining tiny blue crystals trapped inside meteorites, scientists were able to figure out what the sun was like before the Earth formed -- and apparently, it had a pretty rowdy start. When scientists analyzed the chemical make-up of these crystals, they found atoms that would only be there if the early sun was spitting out lots of high-energry particles -- the solar version of going through the 'terrible twos.'

What does the sun do for humans, it keeps us in the proper rhythm needed to function optimally.
When asked what does the sun do for humans, we have to look at our relationship with the sun and light. What we find is that there are two types of creatures on this planet that crawl, walk and fly around.
These two types are diurnal and nocturnal. They have two different physiologies. The light comes in through the optic nerve and goes through the super chiasmic nucleus and off to the pineal gland.
The pineal gland makes hormones like melatonin. Humans are diurnal. Nocturnal creatures are awake at night, they eat at night and they are active at night. Humans are the exact opposite.
Humans diurnal rhythm is with the sun. Between the sun and the earth, humans have this rhythm that is unchangeable and non-negotiable.
Our anatomy and physiology are designed to work with this rhythm. Light is essential, it is as important as oxygen. If you look around the entire Universe what you’ll find is everything exists in cycles.
On earth, we have seasons. Everything is a cycle, for example, the birth-death cycle. When we look up at the stars and the constellations we find out they work in cycles.
Everything is interconnected. This is why the sun affects us the way it does. People that live above a certain latitude or below can be affected by the seasonal affective disorder.
What does the sun do for humans, it keeps us in the circadian rhythm
Each organism has a set of functions they are supposed to perform in this whole thing called nature and in a specific niche. This is called a biological niche.
As an example of this, if we put a tuna fish into a freshwater lake, perhaps it would survive but not really well. If you took a Polar Bear and put him on the equator, he’s going to have problems.
If you put a Gorilla is Alaska without a Zoo and he’s in trouble. Each organism is designed to perform their set of functions without their specific niche and not outside of it.
Now, the earth is titled and spinning at a little over 1,000 miles per hour. This is what gives us our circadian rhythm. Where do humans belong on the earth? We belong in the subequatorial zones.
This is the environment from which we arose and is where we would achieve optimal functioning. What is in this environment? Lush plants, blue skies, plenty of sunlight and water. It would take about an hour a day to take care of our survival needs.
When is this beautiful, lush environment with delicious fruit everywhere a human would never be tempted to eat an animal? There would be no desire to do so.
Were you aware that Pythagoras, Socrates, Sir Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein were all vegetarians? That’s kind of a cool club to belong to, right? I think they knew a thing or two.
I’ve posted before about why we don’t use scented candles and what we use instead.

The concept of stopping the production of cancer can be easily understood. However, one’s lifestyle usually requires radical changes when faced with cancer and this new lifestyle becomes more difficult for some to actually adhere to.
Some people find this change easy and simple and others struggle with it finding it the hardest thing they have had to do. When “cancer” is knocking on your door, what a person should realize is, they have just received a second chance if they change the current path which they are on. This is an offer no person should refuse.
The steps on how to stop the production of cancer:
Step number one – your diet should be one that meets a person’s biological needs and not their appetites. After all, we are primates! Humans aren’t felines, canines, porcine or bovine. Education is so important here, for example, what do gorillas eat? Are they are healthy and strong?
Cooking your food denatures the enzymes and renders it nutritionally worthless. When you freeze food it will destroy many of the nutrients in the food. Remember, fresh, organic, and ripe are the food traits that best represent health.
Step number two – go to sleep earlier, around 8-9pm and wake up as the sun is coming up. This has many benefits and allows for proper cleansing while you’re sleeping.
Step number three – start your day upon waking with meditation and/or prayer.
Step number four – people should read for at least thirty minutes in the morning as they retain more of what they read. Topics should include health, wellness and the healing of the body as well as the mind and spirit. Don’t waste time reading about disease. Disease is simply the absence of health.
Step number five – do some aerobic exercise starting with a minimum of twenty minutes working up to forty-five minutes as you become more fit. Add in resistance exercises for strength and good muscle tone.
Stop Making Cancer Part One
Step numbersix – try not to eat until after you exercise but remember, it is not important to eat first thing in the morning. The longer the period of time in between meals, the more health you will enjoy.
Step number seven – cleanse your colon. Important to note; the colon is 1.5 to 2 meters in length or approximately 5 ft. Take note of how much you are eliminating daily. If what you are eliminating is not 5 ft. in length, then consider a colonic or doing an enema. Try to have two or three colonics per week or an enema daily or a combination of these two.
Step number eight – a coffee enema is an excellent way to have the liver cleansed. Using wheat grass juice enemas in place of coffee is an effective alternative way to have nutrients absorbed into your body.
Step number nine – meditate and/or pray at noon. Take off your shoes off and put your feet on the ground barefooted. Let your skin be warmed by the sun for at least thirty minutes if you can.
Step number ten – eat your dinner three hours before going to bed so around 5-6pm. It is vital to go to bed with your stomach on empty for the purposes of healing while you sleep.
Stop Making Cancer Part Two
Step number eleven – prior to having your evening dinner, take the time to meditate, pray or both.
Step number twelve – don’t lie. When a person lies it will produce adverse spiritual and psycho-emotional effects.
Step number thirteen – laugh as much as possible during the day.
Step number fourteen – be gracious. If you find yourself in a negative mood or you are angry, sit quietly while breathing deeply. In some cases, you may want to let out a scream or bang on something. That’s fine but make sure to follow that up with sitting quietly and breathing deeply for about five minutes.
Step number fifteen – have the last thirty minutes of your day spent meditating and/or praying prior to bed.
Stop Making Cancer Part Three
Step number sixteen – when going to bed have your head positioned south to north or north to south or if you can.
Step number seventeen – clear your bedroom of all electronics and make sure it is dark and quiet while you sleep.
Step number eighteen – fast 4 times a year or once a quarter for ten to fourteen days each time at the two equinoxes and solstices. That would be March 21st, June 21st, September 21st, and also December 21st.
Step number nineteen – this is the proper order to follow when it comes to eating for health: volume, frequency, and quality. Don’t eat until you are full. Strive to eat once a day, having two meals a day at most. Once a week, skip one day of eating in total. The quality of food should be fresh, organic, and ripe.
