CAGLIOSTRO SEAL, CALUMET and CANCELLARIUS SEAL

<h3> CAGLIOSTRO SEAL</h3> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglyw3TikHqedOT4G9UpERyg9pxf7-uEb7-O8pnrvxTl1oA-YdDjrNIjUfkWDCRwgniqLs4Zlgi9hlw82rHNKuTgsE47HlXRvqdt5P1R9cU8wvcMD4sikHen8XSlEsDjjvpeh0L5lI0J0w/s1600/28-CAGLIOSTRO+SEAL-articlemostwanted.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglyw3TikHqedOT4G9UpERyg9pxf7-uEb7-O8pnrvxTl1oA-YdDjrNIjUfkWDCRwgniqLs4Zlgi9hlw82rHNKuTgsE47HlXRvqdt5P1R9cU8wvcMD4sikHen8XSlEsDjjvpeh0L5lI0J0w/s1600/28-CAGLIOSTRO+SEAL-articlemostwanted.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> This curious sigil, the image of a snake, impaled by an arrow but with an apple in its mouth, presses all sorts of symbolic buttons; all three elements of the seal are powerful emblems in themselves. Is this the snake that tempted Eve with the apple, being punished for its transgressions? The snake also makes a curious S shape; is this significant, and if so, how? In addition, the union of the line of the arrow and the serpent seems to make a lemniscate, or figure-of-eight, symbol, meaning infinity. Unfortunately, it seems as though the precise meaning of the seal died with its namesake.<br /><br />Cagliostro himself seems to be as mysterious as his seal. The self-styled Count Alessandro di Cagliostro was actually born as the much less grand-sounding Guiseppe Balsamo, and lived in Italy in the eighteenth century. The rumors surrounding his life and adventures come thick and fast and there is very little that is known for certain, due in no small part to the dense forest of fantastical stories that Cagliostro seems to have hidden himself within. He said that he had been born into the nobility but for some reason was abandoned on Malta, whereupon he wandered, as a child, throughout Morocco and Egypt where he learned many arcane mysteries, including those of the Kabbalah and alchemical magic. Whatever the truth, he certainly had skills as a pharmacist. It seems that the secure advantages of regular employment held no attraction for the Count, his attention being much more drawn to magical and mystical matters. He became a maker and vendor of magical amulets and talismans, and later, forgeries, including letters, certificates, and a myriad of official documents. He also offered the sexual favors of his beautiful young wife as trade for instruction in forgery.<br /><br />Cagliostro’s seal has been the result of much analysis and conjecture, its appearance so convincing that it was even incorporated into an early Masonic-style organization called The Brotherhood of Luxor.<br /><br /> <h3> CALUMET</h3> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV8dxiBlcRbEF1S2gNjkBjMtlqCBfC5_jKqehx_1JGmUPN0dnRZX0NwuFoByK81DcY2gMTusAoAYb8KEasJpULu0SRAGqC-P5kHRTEmNWYl8JFO9EXVSpLDtEp13eCNTS7c1umWVdcFiY/s1600/28-CALUMET-articlemostwanted.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="235" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV8dxiBlcRbEF1S2gNjkBjMtlqCBfC5_jKqehx_1JGmUPN0dnRZX0NwuFoByK81DcY2gMTusAoAYb8KEasJpULu0SRAGqC-P5kHRTEmNWYl8JFO9EXVSpLDtEp13eCNTS7c1umWVdcFiY/s1600/28-CALUMET-articlemostwanted.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> For the Plains Indians, the pipe, also called the calumet, is one of the most important and recognizable symbols. Although it is sometimes referred to as the Peace Pipe, shared ceremonially as part of a unifying ritual, the pipe was just as valid a symbol during times of war.<br /><br />The tobacco used in the pipe is also a powerful magical substance originally intended for ritual use only. The smoke rising from the pipe signifies a prayer traveling toward the Gods and symbolizes the sacred breath, source of all life. The fire that lights the pipe symbolizes the Sun and the male element. The pipe itself is equivalent to the prayer that is offered up from it.<br /><br />The calumet is considered so important that in Native American tradition it is described as though it were a person, and each of its components has the name of a body part. In addition, the bowl is described as an altar, and the stem, the passage of the breath extending from the human body.<br /><br /> <h3> CANCELLARIUS SEAL</h3> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdF7dkQEbtOd-SIX8QSKa2adAjBCExauT9ejDkTAUGKl7gHvXmBN7mFz1yZNIlh5prhUwTWnq3VNH2t1FoEeu4G7aWJnV9Bt6p6Y_L97ORf_amuYsH-gA1uElXp1ywgGW-bOz9b-F1MHo/s1600/28-CANCELLARIUS+SEAL-articlemostwanted.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdF7dkQEbtOd-SIX8QSKa2adAjBCExauT9ejDkTAUGKl7gHvXmBN7mFz1yZNIlh5prhUwTWnq3VNH2t1FoEeu4G7aWJnV9Bt6p6Y_L97ORf_amuYsH-gA1uElXp1ywgGW-bOz9b-F1MHo/s1600/28-CANCELLARIUS+SEAL-articlemostwanted.jpg" /></a></div> This is one of the symbolic seals of Aleister Crowley’s Astrum Argentum, or Silver Star order. As the name suggests, it indicates the position of Chancellor. The symbol shows an Eye of Horus at the center of rays that are set in 12 groups of 3.<br /><br />The Astrum Argentum was started by Crowley in 1907 as an alternative to MacGregor Mathers’ Golden Dawn. Although he had initially been enamored of the Golden Dawn and its charismatic leader, it is fair to say that Crowley liked to do things his own way, resulting in his expulsion from the Golden Dawn. Crowley believed that his own personal angel, Aiwaz, approved of his decision to supplant Mathers’ brotherhood. The unusual structure of the Astrum Argentum was typical of Crowley’s desire to be different. Each member was supposed to know only his immediate superior and anyone he introduced into the Order. For Crowley, the sole purpose of the Astrum Argentum was to disseminate his own teachings and mystical beliefs. It was assumed that anyone introduced into the Astrum Argentum would already have had a great degree of magical training, in contrast to the Golden Dawn, which was dedicated to teaching.

Native to central and eastern Asia, wild soybeans are thought to have been domesticated around the 11th century <span class="small">B.C</span>. in northern China. By the first century <span class="small">A.D</span>., soybeans were being cultivated throughout China, as well as in Korea, Japan, northern India, Nepal, and many countries in Southeast Asia. European traders and visitors to China and Japan in the 1500s encountered many foods and sauces made from soybeans and brought the news back to the West. Yet soybeans weren’t planted in Europe until the 1730s. Even then, they were grown in greenhouses and botanic gardens for display and study. Several decades later, soybeans reached North America. They gradually gained acceptance as a forage crop for livestock and as a legume that improved agricultural soils. Not until World War II, however, were soybeans widely grown in the U.S. as a substitute for other protein-rich foods and as a source of edible oil. Since then, soybeans and soybean oil have become standard ingredients in many foods, and traditional Asian soy dishes are commonplace almost everywhere.</div> <div class="nonindent"> <br /></div> <h2 class="section" id="c28-s01"> <strong>Therapeutic Uses</strong></h2> <div class="nonindent"> <em>Protein source</em></div> <div class="nonindent"> <em>Heart health</em></div> <div class="extract"> Soy is widely consumed in the Asian diet. Soybean contains a full complement of essential amino acids, making it a complete protein. Thus, it is a very useful part of any vegetarian or vegan diet. Of any plant, soy contains the highest concentration of isoflavones, a class of phytoestrogen compounds that are structurally similar to estrogen. Large epidemiological studies in Asian countries have shown that lifelong traditional consumption of soy may offer some protection against menopausal symptoms, breast cancer, and osteoporosis.</div> <div class="indent"> Studies in non-Asian populations have yielded conflicting results. There have been scores of studies on the health effects of soy, including more than 2 dozen on using soy to treat hot flashes. Some show an effect and others do not, making it difficult to arrive at any definitive conclusion. When looking at the totality of the evidence, most reviewers have concluded that the data are just too contradictory to come to any conclusion regarding the effectiveness of soy, or isoflavones, for relieving hot flashes, preventing bone loss, or protecting the heart.</div> <div class="indent"> In 2006, an American Heart Association review concluded that there is little evidence to support the use of soy to relieve hot flashes or to protect against cancer; however, the authors noted that “soy products such as tofu, soy butter, soy nuts, or some soy burgers should be beneficial to cardiovascular and overall health because of their high content of polyunsaturated fats, fiber, vitamins, and minerals and low content of saturated fat. Using these and other soy foods to replace foods high in animal protein, which contains saturated fat and cholesterol, may confer benefits to cardiovascular health.”</div> <div class="indent"> One area of concern with soy is its safety in women with breast cancer, as it contains compounds that can mimic estrogen. Some studies in humans showing positive effects of soy indicate that early consumption of soy might be important for protection against breast cancer later in life. Less is known about soy consumption in women who are at high risk or who currently have breast cancer. Some studies indicate that it may prevent recurrence, while others suggest that it might increase risk or reduce the effectiveness of tamoxifen, used in treatment. Many oncologists recommend that women limit soy to 1 to 2 servings per day or limit intake to the amounts consumed in the Asian diet, which provides 50 to 90 mg of soy isoflavones per day.</div> <h2 class="section" id="c28-s02"> <strong>How to Use</strong></h2> <div class="nonindent"> Soy foods should be part of a wholesome diet. Avoid processed soy “junk” food and focus on edamame, soy nuts, miso, and tempeh.</div> <div class="nonindent"> <em>Extracts:</em> 50 to 90 mg soy isoflavones daily.</div> <h2 class="section" id="c28-s03"> <strong>Precautions</strong></h2> <div class="nonindent"> Soy is healthful when consumed as part of a varied, wholesome diet and is an excellent source of protein. Until more is known, breast cancer survivors should not combine soy extracts with tamoxifen (or should avoid therapeutic doses) because of possible plant-drug interactions.</div>

It extends pertaining to 3, 000 mi (4, 828 km) from the ANDES Mountains for the ATLANTIC OCEAN. The rainforest covers regions of BRAZIL, PERU, ECUADOR, COLOMBIA, BOLIVIA, as well as VENEZUELA, encompassing more than a billion acres as well as covering one-third of South America. The 6, 500 mi (10, 461 km) from the great AMAZON RIVER, second only for the NILE RIVER long, flows throughout the actual rainforest. Eleven hundred tributaries, some which are over 1, 000 mi (1, 609 km) extended, feed into the actual Amazon River.<br /> <br />Since the rainforest is near to the equator, its CLIMATE will be hot and humid all the time. From 40 in order to 80 in (100 cm in order to 200 cm) connected with rain falls annually from the eastern section from the rainforest, while the traditional western region experiences about 160 in (400 cm) of rain annually. THUNDERSTORMS occur a lot more than 200 days from the year. In sections of the rainforest that are closest to the actual equator, rain is categorized almost constantly. Trees within the rainforest are generally green, but many shed their leaves in response to biological and climatological changes.<br /> <br />The Amazon Rainforest is known as a resource for the entire world, in part as a result of plant life that will protects the world’s environment from the green-house effect. If your rainforest performs its natural function, at long last 50 percent from the rain returns for the atmosphere on the actual leaves of trees from the process of evapotranspiration. This procedure uses the water loss from the trees in the rainforest to create clouds that create rain in additional, more protected regions of the rainforest region.<br /> <br />The rainforest consist of four layers: the actual emergent layer, the actual canopy, the understory, plus the forest floor. The emergent covering is located near the top of the trees from the rainforest. This layer is subject to intensive amounts connected with sunlight, high temperature ranges, low humidity, as well as strong winds. The particular canopy, sometimes called the top canopy, is made up of the tallest trees from the for-est. These bushes, which may expand to 200 legs. (61 m), defend the land under from harsh sun light. The middle layer from the rainforest, known for the reason that understory or reduce canopy, may be as high as 20 ft. (6 m). It consist of various small bushes, vines, and bushes. The forest floor or the jungle is composed of ground cover such as herbs, mosses, as well as fungi. The wildlife in this section of the actual rainforest eats beginnings, seeds, leaves, fruit, and smaller pets.<br /> <br />Around two-thirds off animals and plants from the rainforest inhabit the actual canopy. For example, in a section of a canopy from the Peruvian rainforest, scientists identified over 50 varieties of ants, 1, 000 varieties of beetles, a number of 1, 799 arthropod varieties, and approximately 100, 000 varieties of fauna. Samples extracted from canopies in PANAMA, Brazil, Peru, as well as Bolivia revealed in excess of 1, 500    species connected with beetles in just about every canopy. Because the canopy area is not easily accessed as well as because many pests find shelter under the leaves, it is thought that thousands of species may nevertheless be discovered. Some species connected with wildlife spend his or her entire lives from the trees of the actual rainforest.<br /> <br />Poverty, populace growth, greed, and shortsightedness include historically been the actual major threats for the Amazon Rainforest. Construction, which often operates for the principle of “slash as well as burn, ” has created a new threat since the middle of the 20th hundred years. For instance, inside February 2001, officials in Ecuador contracted through an international consortium to construct the 300-mi (483-km) Oleoducto de Crudos Pesados (Heavy Crude Pipeline) meant to transport crude oil from the rainforest to the actual Pacific Coast, which affects forests and fauna and displacing local inhabitants.<br /> <br /> <h3> RAINFOREST EARTH</h3> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">  <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdqB3GqBMDRVtauoQh2nFXTQf9e8BhXh4VINQDmvHSrLnlbZiExLQN0ZMJQMDsF8bcncJlsu81bWtSzDhHOIzlZ0f5tmAf3bTDDzZ3A-6jlE_607BEFGKqTHDnQgE_W4oal8ugFPIeIfc/s1600/23-amazon+rainforest+deforestation2-articlemostwanted.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdqB3GqBMDRVtauoQh2nFXTQf9e8BhXh4VINQDmvHSrLnlbZiExLQN0ZMJQMDsF8bcncJlsu81bWtSzDhHOIzlZ0f5tmAf3bTDDzZ3A-6jlE_607BEFGKqTHDnQgE_W4oal8ugFPIeIfc/s1600/23-amazon+rainforest+deforestation2-articlemostwanted.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> Three major soil types are actually identified within the actual Amazon Rainforest. A single layer, known because ultisols, is made up of kaolinite clay and minerals that are trans-ported from flooded upper soil quantities. This acidic dirt, containing aluminum chemical substances, is not conducive to factories.<br />A second covering, called oxisols, which includes lots solely of kaolinite clay-based, is thick as well as sticky and nearly unusable to facilities. Spoldsol soils, which might be found in higher lands that are not subject in order to flooding, tend to be sandy and acidic and so are incapable of maintaining nutrients. Soils from the rainforest are generally struggle to absorb water, further contributing to the difficulties that will local farmers experience. On the additional hand, soils within wetter regions of the rainforest provide an excellent growing region for exotic tropical plants, many which serve as foodstuff for animals from the rainforest.<br /> <br /> <h3> FAUNA AND FLORA</h3> Around 80 percent off food eaten from the people of the entire world today originated from the tropical rainforests, including over 3, 000 varieties of fruit. Edible produce from the Amazon Rainforest contain: Brazil nut, cashew, banana, fig, caffeine, cocoa, vanilla, interest flower, breadfruit, yucca, avocado, coconut, fruit, lemon, grapefruit, guava, pineapple, mango, tomato, hammer toe, tomato, potato, hemp, winter squash, yam, dark-colored pepper, cayenne spice up, chocolate, soybean, cinnamon, clove, ginger, sugarcane, turmeric, as well as coffee. Orchid, philodendron, bamboo bedding, mahogany, and rubber fungus can also be found in the actual rainforest.<br /> <br />More animals and plants are only within the Amazon Rainforest than in other world combined. At least 500 species connected with mammals, 175 varieties of lizards, 300 varieties of other reptiles, and innumerable varieties of tree climbers are one of the many animals identified to date. Scientists and environmentalists believe there are thousands of varieties of wildlife from the rainforest that have yet to be identified. Some from the animals found from the rainforest include anaconda, ant, anteater, beetle, boa constrictor, abyss viper, butterfly, katydid, piranha, capybara, caiman, kinkau, puma, tarantula, tree frog, moth, tapir, cock-roach, iguana, jaguar, cougar, deer, lemur, orangutan, marmoset, green dolphin, wild dog, wolf, raccoon, otter, ocelot, three-toed sloth, mosquito, grinding bot fly, bat, as well as termite.<br /> <br />One-third from the world’s birds live in the Amazon jungle, including the macaw, parrot, toucan, harpy bald eagle, crow, ant chicken, and umbrella chicken. Approximately one-fifth off freshwater fish are only in the Amazon Basin. Unfortunately, several un-scrupulous individuals include engaged in outlawed wildlife trading, decreasing the quantity of animals found within the rainforest and additional threatening the organic balance of lifestyle there.<br /> <br /> <h3> PEOPLE</h3> Gonzalo as well as Francisco de Orellana, 2 Spanish explorers, discovered the Amazon River region inside 1541 while seeking valuable minerals as well as spices. They stumbled upon native people, including a music group of women a warrior who became referred to as Amazons. Many from the native people passed on from diseases delivered by explorers for the New World or maybe from being enslaved. Whole tribes were destroyed. In the 16th century, over 10 trillion natives resided from the Amazon Rainforest. That number got decreased to under 200, 000 by the start of the 21st hundred years.<br />In Brazil, for example, only 10 percent from the original tribes keep on being. Some of the actual poorer members from the tribes that inhabit the Amazon Rainforest today survive about subsistence farming, additional destroying valuable resources. Natives within the actual rainforest eat cassava, yucca, fruit, nuts, fish, pests, and animals such as rabbits, deer, and wild pigs which they shoot with weapons or blowguns. A few tribes, such for the reason that Kayapb, have be Westernized, envying standard bank and money current market accounts, airplanes, tractors, bulldozers, along with other luxuries of modern life.<br /> <br /> <h3> RAINFOREST DEFORESTATION </h3> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2_iNpQfMYIA1a2HSXhoyywTqmS6ytvksb74YBt1JCyNml1Ivpq5WFRB9wU4Q3UvsHxbe14C3j7nCVUKTv2erDhSc22P84MAT76_XB2RoiXJBFSws4_EacdDKdsyw7IbaGiScr6ZLr2zU/s1600/23-amazon+rainforest+deforestation3-articlemostwanted.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="207" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2_iNpQfMYIA1a2HSXhoyywTqmS6ytvksb74YBt1JCyNml1Ivpq5WFRB9wU4Q3UvsHxbe14C3j7nCVUKTv2erDhSc22P84MAT76_XB2RoiXJBFSws4_EacdDKdsyw7IbaGiScr6ZLr2zU/s1600/23-amazon+rainforest+deforestation3-articlemostwanted.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> James Alcock, any professor at Missouri State University, has estimated that with the current rate connected with destruction, the point connected with no return from the Amazon Rainforest could possibly be reached as early as 2016. Unchecked destruction could entirely destroy the rainforest by the middle of the 21st hundred years. Poverty, population expansion, greed, and shortsightedness include historically been the actual bad threats for the Amazon forests. Construction, which often operates for the principle of “slash as well as burn, ” has posed a significant threat since the middle of the 20th hundred years. Much of the actual Amazon Rainforest has been destroyed by Joao Baptista Figueiredo, the actual president of Brazilian who built the actual Trans- Amazonian Freeway, destroying vast tracts from the forest in traditional western Brazil This highway provided a way for loggers, ranchers, constructors, prospectors, and many different other people as well as businesses from all over the world to flock for the rainforests, speeding upward its destruction. Fire has also turn into a threat recently as the rainforest is becoming drier. The fragile lands from the rainforest are also being employed for cattle grazing as well as subsistence farming. The worst period of destruction in the actual rainforest came concerning 1978 and 1990 prior to destruction of the actual rainforest became reputed.<br /> <br />Francisco Alves “Chico” Mendes Filho, any Brazilian rubber tapper, unification organizer, and ecologist, became the voice of the people who were determined to teach the world regarding the Amazon Rainforest. Mendes was instrumental from the foundation of the actual National Counsel from the Seringueiros and assisted to plan the actual extraction reserves, which created government-owned conservation areas designed to give rainforest natives control within the production and protection from the Amazon Rainforest. Mendes has been murdered on November 22,1988, from the doorway of his home. Through the efforts from the Chico Mendes Panel, Darly and Darcy Alves de Silva were charged in reference to his murder. Mendes’s death galvanized the actual conservationists and boosted their efforts to guard the rainforest.<br /> <br />Some scientists believe that approximately 30 acres of rainforest will be destroyed every minute from the rain-forests of the entire world. As acre immediately after acre of rainforest has destroyed, nature’s organic shield is evaporating, since there usually are fewer trees to work with the carbon dioxide as food by way of a process called photosynthesis. Consequently, levels of skin tightening and in the setting are increasing annually.<br /> <br />Intrusions into the rainforests have likewise destroyed valuable resources such as medicinal plants, quinine, lean muscle relaxers, steroids, as well as various cancer-fighting medications. Seventy percent from the 3, 000 drugs using cancer- fighting properties which were identified by the actual U. S. Cancer Institute are only in the Amazon Rainforest. American drug corporations are so convinced from the potential for discovering further disease-fighting drugs from the rainforest that a number of 100 companies include funded protects to examine the plants used by native inhabitants from the rainforest for thousands of years.<br />One third from the Amazon Rainforest is found in Brazil, where authorities believe that approximately 80 percent off logging done from the rainforest is carried out il-legally. In 2003, authorities launched any satellite system designed to prevent illegal logging from the rainforest. Brazil has additionally begun to levy fines against multinational corporations that participate in illegal logging.<br /> <br />Peru may be losing approximately 716, 000 massive areas (289, 755 hectares) of rainforest annually. In March 1992, the nonprofit Amazon Center for Environmentally friendly Education and Study Foundation (ACEER) popped the Amazon Biosphere Maintain in Peru to improve knowledge of the actual Peruvian rainforest and to provide protection due to this fragile resource. One of the ways that ACEER has been doing this is from the erection of any canopy walkway protect allowing greater access for scientists to examine the living make any difference that resides from the rainforest. The walkway furthermore provides tourists using a firsthand consider the mysteries of the actual Peruvian rainforest. ACEER’s amenities include also chicken and butterfly saves.<br /> <br />Ecuador has been additional remiss than possibly Brazil or Peru inside protecting its section of the Amazon Rainforest. Ecuadorian authorities include permitted logging, road construction, and gas exploration to damage approximately 466, 400 acres (188, 907 hectares) of rainforest annually. In February 2001, officials in Ecuador contracted through an international consortium to construct the Oleoducto de Crudos Pesados (Heavy Crude Pipeline) meant to transport crude oil from the rainforest to the actual Pacific Coast, doing damage to forests and fauna and displacing local inhabitants. As an end result, only 1 per cent of Ecuador’s jungle has survived.<br /> <br />The particular rainforest in Colombia will be host to in excess of 1, 815 varieties of birds, 590 varieties of amphibians, as well as 3, 200 varieties of fish. Such as Ecuador, Colombia has been doing little to check the issues caused by outlawed logging, mining, polluting of the environment, agriculture, and outlawed animal piracy. Likewise, Bolivia has done little to quit multinational logging corporations and cocoa as well as soybean farmers from destroying a lot of its section from the Amazon Rainforest.<br /> <br />Venezuela has had the additional problem of dealing with oil exploration within just its region from the rainforest. Big oil companies destroyed a lot of Venezuela’s forests just before 1974, when authorities nationalized the gas industry. Belatedly, the Venezuelan government created several national parks as well as passed protective legislation and recognized the actual rights of native inhabitants from the rainforest.<br /> <br /><i>BIBLIOGRAPHY. “Amazon Center for Environmental Training and Research, ” www. aceer.org (March 2004); Adrian Cowell, The particular Decade of Exploitation: The Crusade to avoid wasting the Amazon Rainforest (Henry Holt, 1990); Kathleen Gay and lesbian, Rainforests of the entire world (ABC-CLIO, 2001); “Journey directly into Amazonia” www. pbs. org (April 2004); Scott Lewis, The particular Rainforest Book: Ways to Save the World’s Rainforests (Living Globe, 1990); “Loss of Amazon Rainforest May come Sooner Than Estimated, ” National Geographic Media (June 26, 2001); Apple pc Margolis, The Last New world: The Conquest from the American Frontier (W.

It was taboo for woman to see this sacred object, which was used in initiation ceremonies and was regarded as carrying the actual voices of the Spirits.<br /> <br /> The Bull Roarer was thought to make men invincible and indeed the noise it produces is quite terrifying, especially if it is not expected. It was also used in fertility rites and as a way of calling for rain.<br /> <br /> <h3> BULLA</h3> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrdPlIVZRHGkFu5fD1sHRdE3hlf5D1F8TaE2VX-FlqPxY8DDHjXvCI974_T-PWboa0b8jTOPwv6tVS7w_SfAwr-uek4atY2c6PNmt7FWaLMJUlA4xfACTqcIKSOhJLiJ1ROTOQ-TyIigI/s1600/21-bulla-articlemostwanted.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrdPlIVZRHGkFu5fD1sHRdE3hlf5D1F8TaE2VX-FlqPxY8DDHjXvCI974_T-PWboa0b8jTOPwv6tVS7w_SfAwr-uek4atY2c6PNmt7FWaLMJUlA4xfACTqcIKSOhJLiJ1ROTOQ-TyIigI/s1600/21-bulla-articlemostwanted.jpg" /></a></div> This is a special charm or amulet that was given to Roman children when they were born. A sealed locket, the bulla (meaning “bubble” or “knob”) contained magical spells specific to the child in question, such as symbols of protection, or wishes for wealth. The bulla was constructed of different materials depending on the wealth of the family, leather for the poorest families and gold or other precious metals for the wealthiest.<br /> <br /> Roman boys put aside their bullae when they reached puberty, and the object was offered to the Gods. Girls wore theirs until the eve of their wedding. In either case it was considered that the bulla belonged to the child, as part and parcel of their personality.<br /> <br /> The bulla is the origin of the name of the Papal Bull, the special edict that hails from the Vatican, which is fastened with an oval seal of the same shape as the bulla.<br /> <br /> <h3> CADUCEUS</h3> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUCs4gXmKkKlDeRZhL5Lip2n-MeDIGZjrE7QThun3jYVk0riJ9YkXA87MXHrG_NrrSrEOItBXwui3NVFcD8-0TopunQ4QtX1drsGno4Ki2IGINy-Uf9R22O0JdoWR06lObitIVq2Pd7y4/s1600/21-caduceus-articlemostwanted.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUCs4gXmKkKlDeRZhL5Lip2n-MeDIGZjrE7QThun3jYVk0riJ9YkXA87MXHrG_NrrSrEOItBXwui3NVFcD8-0TopunQ4QtX1drsGno4Ki2IGINy-Uf9R22O0JdoWR06lObitIVq2Pd7y4/s1600/21-caduceus-articlemostwanted.jpg" /></a></div> A rod, staff, or wand generally surmounted with wings. Two serpents entwine about the staff, forming a figure-of-eight shape. The key elements of the construction of this ancient sign are the serpent, the spiral, the infinity sign, the circle, wings, and the wand.<br /> <br /> The Caduceus is an extremely ancient symbol, and its earliest recorded appearance is on the goblet of the King of Lagash, dating back some 2600 years BC.<br /> <br /> The Caduceus is the emblem of Mercury/Hermes and is incredibly rich in meanings: first, the staff or wand is a symbol of power and authority, of magical and supernatural forces, and is the tool of all magicians, medicine men, and shamans. It also represents the Tree of Life or World Axis. Then there are the wings on top of the wand.<br /> <br /> Wings signify flight (both physical and metaphorical), intuition, the spiritual, and communication from the Heavens or the Gods. Mercury is the Messenger of the Gods. The two serpents, twining in opposite directions, represent opposition and equilibrium. They also signify opposites—male and female, day and night, good and evil, and so represent balance. Serpents also remind us of hidden knowledge.<br /> <br /> As the serpents scroll around the wand, they form the figure-of-eight shape, or infinity symbol, which stands for completeness and perfection.<br /> <br /> Part of the infinity symbol is the circle, ultimately representing the cosmos, the spirit, and unity.<br /> <br /> All these elements combined make for a powerful symbol that has altered very little over the millennia. Together, they add up to supernatural power and hidden wisdom, messages from the spiritual realms, authority, the cosmos and infinity, and the pairing of opposites in harmony and unity.<br /> <br /> Perhaps the most common use of the Caduceus, both today and since its earliest appearance, is as a symbol of healing and medicine. Aesclepius, the first physician and the God of medicine, had the Caduceus as one of his attributes because he had the power and the intuition (the wand and the wings) to be able to use potentially poisonous or corruptive substances (the serpents) to restore health and, reputedly, to bring the dead back to life.<br /> <br /> The Caduceus was not only the instrument of Aesclepius, but of the healing God Ningishzida of Mesopotamia (whose symbol is intertwining snakes), and of the Egyptians Ba’al, Isis and Ishtar. It is also found in India where it carries the same meaning.

Vast, unbroken tracts of saw palmetto once covered hundreds of miles of coastal land in Florida, Georgia, and other parts of this region. The density of the plants, coupled with the sawlike edges of the leaf stalks, made the tracts almost impassable. The dark purple fruits of saw palmetto—about the size and shape of olives—were an indispensable dietary staple among Native American tribes for perhaps as much as 12,000 years before Europeans set foot in this part of North America. When settlers arrived, they added saw palmetto to their diet and fed the fruits to their livestock. They also observed native tribes using saw palmetto, particularly as a remedy for urinary tract complaints. By the late 1800s, the plant had found its way into conventional medicine in the U.S. Interest in saw palmetto waned for a time, but since the 1990s it has been the herb of choice among herbal practitioners for prostate problems.</div> <div class="nonindent"> <br /></div> <h2 class="section" id="c27-s01"> <strong>Therapeutic Uses</strong></h2> <div class="nonindent"> <em>Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)</em></div> <div class="extract"> Saw palmetto’s blue-black, single-seeded berries are used to make the premier herbal medicine for treating prostate problems.

All of these effects translate into easing the symptoms of BPH by enhancing urinary flow rates, reducing pain with urination, and decreasing nighttime urination. In most clinical studies, saw palmetto, used as a standardized extract of 320 mg daily, relieves BPH symptoms as effectively as the pharmaceutical finasteride; however, finasteride more effectively decreases the size of the prostate. Whereas finasteride decreases testosterone levels in the blood, saw palmetto does not seem to affect blood test results for testosterone, other sex hormones, or prostate-specific antigen (PSA, a marker for prostate cancer and BPH).</div> <div class="indent"> Much research has been done on saw palmetto, and the research has undergone rigorous analysis in which researchers compiled results from many studies. The results have been mixed, probably due to flaws in research models, a range in the type of extracts used, and the length of time supplements were taken.</div> <h2 class="section" id="c27-s02"> <strong>How to Use</strong></h2> <div class="nonindent"> <em>Extract:</em> Studies have used a specific extract, standardized at 80 to 90 percent fatty acids and sterols—the compounds most effective for BPH symptoms—and dosed at 160 mg, twice daily.</div> <div class="nonindent"> <em>Tincture:</em> 1 to 2 ml, 3 times a day.</div> <div class="nonindent"> <em>Capsules:</em> Follow manufacturer’s guidelines.</div> <h2 class="section" id="c27-s03"> <strong>Precautions</strong></h2> <div class="nonindent"> Saw palmetto can cause mild stomach upset, constipation, diarrhea, headache, high blood pressure, and itching. Rarely, saw palmetto can cause impotence or decreased sex drive. Due to its possible hormonal effects, saw palmetto is not recommended for people on hormone therapy or for pregnant women. However, women are unlikely to take this herb anyway.</div>

Bald Uakari</h3> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiGDk9X_U3zL6W4ILXMj0s0fZgrBE_kB7YglVDaiPQF-1Y25lA1WlZsXVrmM0MbGlM8IlSVaovbD1u6B7LThbnWEPHTpC9Eiac0LFh1v7mPEkxkQSAN-o8knz6OKdg0oesbVDd5h2Jvmc/s1600/18-weird-animal-balk-uakari-articlemostwanted.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiGDk9X_U3zL6W4ILXMj0s0fZgrBE_kB7YglVDaiPQF-1Y25lA1WlZsXVrmM0MbGlM8IlSVaovbD1u6B7LThbnWEPHTpC9Eiac0LFh1v7mPEkxkQSAN-o8knz6OKdg0oesbVDd5h2Jvmc/s1600/18-weird-animal-balk-uakari-articlemostwanted.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> The bald uakari is a species of monkey native to Brazilian and Peru that is known for its bright red confront. A pack of such monkeys is known as a troop, and they also prefer to reside in high trees, from the constant inundating that plagues the habitat. Scientists believe the monkey’s colorful face is the effect of having no pigment upon its head that enables the blood vessels’ red color to show from the skin. It’s actually a disadvantage to the monkey’s survival, because lurking predators can see it more easily, but it’s also indicative of a healthy body's defense mechanism.<br /><br />Unfortunately for these kind of jungle monkeys, these are slowly going extinct thanks partly to hunting simply by humans. Bald uakari using paler faces also considered to be susceptible to malaria and seclude themselves by other uakari, choosing never to reproduce.<br /><br /> <h3> 9. Giraffe Weevil</h3> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbp_2duCf-l42JnLezgWo4ur_u1Z9dg3SDOJRNr36_R1qsplEZH6Mh4xOtu4abiHwM4xXspy4pE2NUqjDLEoX7oqsjHqHhYX-Lcc3dmBtNjs6dfascqYe6kb06W9sISKVMKzVFa0se1uo/s1600/18-weird-animal-giraffe-weevil-articlemostwanted.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbp_2duCf-l42JnLezgWo4ur_u1Z9dg3SDOJRNr36_R1qsplEZH6Mh4xOtu4abiHwM4xXspy4pE2NUqjDLEoX7oqsjHqHhYX-Lcc3dmBtNjs6dfascqYe6kb06W9sISKVMKzVFa0se1uo/s1600/18-weird-animal-giraffe-weevil-articlemostwanted.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> Receiving its name by its abnormally prolonged neck, the giraffe weevil is a species of beetle that lives for the island of Madagascar. Though perhaps it will look very uncomfortable, this weird abnormality is usually critically important in the bug’s life. For the males, their necks provide as fighting components against other adult males, usually over a girl weevil. Male weevils’ necks are twice provided that those of woman's weevils.<br /><br />In Madagascar, the weevils possess designated trees which can be meant for weevils in support of weevils. They use these kind of special trees like a source of food in addition to a comfortable habitat. Their soft and fragile wings are sheathed within a protective shell known as an elytron.<br /><br /> <h3> 8. Snub-Nosed Goof</h3> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCVZxcoXo1IicJyPf6owdW2OV89LKWt0MeSBQiO8E5fW1PCwNGKY_7_Tq7kbkzz8b_FX3g0Z-BywTiUOHvRY6cUc3bfcY3kIujT1TEojZpaut_p6EYkQQqfGQQI7l2zzF49XteNA6AaMk/s1600/18-weird-animal-snub-nosed-monkey-articlemostwanted.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="432" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCVZxcoXo1IicJyPf6owdW2OV89LKWt0MeSBQiO8E5fW1PCwNGKY_7_Tq7kbkzz8b_FX3g0Z-BywTiUOHvRY6cUc3bfcY3kIujT1TEojZpaut_p6EYkQQqfGQQI7l2zzF49XteNA6AaMk/s1600/18-weird-animal-snub-nosed-monkey-articlemostwanted.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> The snub-nosed monkey more closely looks like a post-surgery Michael Jackson compared to a primate. They were simply recently discovered in the Asian country connected with Myanmar, after several were accidentally chance and killed simply by hunters. Since then, scientists have already been observing these monkeys in the jungles during this rainy season. The scientists thought this is the best time to see their unusual habits, which includes curling their heads within a ball to protect themselves from your water because the odd model of their noses will allow water to easily fit in the nostrils, causing these phones constantly sneeze.<br /><br />The snub-nosed inhabitants in Myanmar happens to be between 260–300, but it’s vulnerable to dropping due for their tasty meat, which can be coveted by searcher. Thankfully, they feed on berries and reside in the high treetops, so it’s difficult with regard to hunters to catch them.<br /><br /> <h3> 7. Ice Fish</h3> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoEYKMaLBzE5CJUPRVTNq69sehGpKIn1n4q2yV9YZ1n2kcbUO6kYxdKWseoCuqWmGtyVSpc6rLtJ81y3yi-PgwmsW-gabCrOIfW9hUw0qbU6JDRukCB7xLDvR_ARyIRa79ptzh55a2Zcs/s1600/18-weird-animal-ice-fish-articlemostwanted.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoEYKMaLBzE5CJUPRVTNq69sehGpKIn1n4q2yV9YZ1n2kcbUO6kYxdKWseoCuqWmGtyVSpc6rLtJ81y3yi-PgwmsW-gabCrOIfW9hUw0qbU6JDRukCB7xLDvR_ARyIRa79ptzh55a2Zcs/s1600/18-weird-animal-ice-fish-articlemostwanted.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> First discovered by Ditlef Rustad with 1927, the ice fish is a peculiar-looking organism in which inhabits the shores around Antarctica. The item possesses striking capabilities, including fangs plus a ghostly white system. This phantom appearance is the effect of a lack connected with hemoglobin in it's blood, which makes this fish as transparent like a window.<br /><br />The thriller of how these kind of fish survive with no hemoglobin, which is usually an important substance in which carries oxygen from the bloodstream, has perplexed researchers for over 60 years. Just lately, scientists have theorized the ice fish could possibly be absorbing oxygen as a result of its skin as an alternative to through gills and in to the blood. Another possibility is that rather than using blood to carry oxygen, they use blood plasma, the liquid component of blood that contains 55 percent connected with its volume and causes blood clotting. The blood plasma’s yellowish color may be the explanation of the yellow tint in the fish.<br /><br /> <h3> 6. Gulper Eel</h3> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik8lImxzro1i05I4ts9pcqXAM8y2XgCle5_9tVTs7Yt1cINfT8vhjo5nz81x5p_hKHlGCZ9YaN5AsnLZRVjmdt0KA3lghzKcCEdQrzix3OGEDLBKKyehUnNX44g1nWShsrZntxipa0E9U/s1600/18-weird-animal-gulper-eel-articlemostwanted.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="404" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik8lImxzro1i05I4ts9pcqXAM8y2XgCle5_9tVTs7Yt1cINfT8vhjo5nz81x5p_hKHlGCZ9YaN5AsnLZRVjmdt0KA3lghzKcCEdQrzix3OGEDLBKKyehUnNX44g1nWShsrZntxipa0E9U/s1600/18-weird-animal-gulper-eel-articlemostwanted.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> Your extraordinarily rare gulper eel, to create the pelican eel, lives deep in the ocean. One with the reasons it is so rare is simply because females lay their eggs in such deep waters the offspring don’t generally survive after hatching.<br /><br />Your gulper eel unhinges this jaws of it's incredibly large jaws to swallow equally enormous prey, which are attracted to this brilliant, bioluminescent orbs for the ends of its tail. The prey is usually then digested within a flexible stomach in which stretches to accommodate how big the eel’s meal is. As the gulper eel gets older, its teeth slowly but surely disappear, but its good sense of smell skyrockets to compensate.<br /><br /> <h3> 5. Hummingbird Hawk-Moth</h3> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAbTzTzbd5t8nJBfH3qYNoVEI7sotNsvMy7_8Q_BnpY-S5QB2vAtuqlqpFrOkBB0fqfiWQ92w7M6bO53_incH70Q7H2xGE-01w2UECpIW7Ndww1ElRJGJ9QKCVmy5P60vVl1Ltrd8IKlI/s1600/18-weird-animal-hummingbird-hawk-moth-articlemostwanted.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAbTzTzbd5t8nJBfH3qYNoVEI7sotNsvMy7_8Q_BnpY-S5QB2vAtuqlqpFrOkBB0fqfiWQ92w7M6bO53_incH70Q7H2xGE-01w2UECpIW7Ndww1ElRJGJ9QKCVmy5P60vVl1Ltrd8IKlI/s1600/18-weird-animal-hummingbird-hawk-moth-articlemostwanted.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> Found all over the place in southern European Union and Asia, this hummingbird hawk-moth is usually, predictably, a moth that appears to be a hummingbird. Not only does the unit use a proboscis as a hummingbird or a butterfly, it can separated into two tubes when they need to be cleaned. A sac in the front of it's head expands with air if your moth inhales then deflates when the idea exhales, allowing the idea to suck way up nectar.<br /><br />Along with which has a proboscis like a hummingbird, its wings can move just as fast, emitting a comparable low humming noises when flying. These moths likewise have remarkable memories, repeatedly time for the same 50 plants.<br /><br /> <h3> 4. Flying Frog</h3> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_UBCgge9WpSgzxVPFicjkrU6KFPpekKkJkuWET66EP65WmVa0_JDwCe7spEFAn7zaSioZup4DXXhLZZcm7CXscJogLvSnavj3qdXxbrp-c65FNE04bIyIhJdUKwuHSz0vrHbP48fMYbc/s1600/18-weird-animal-flying-frog-articlemostwanted.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_UBCgge9WpSgzxVPFicjkrU6KFPpekKkJkuWET66EP65WmVa0_JDwCe7spEFAn7zaSioZup4DXXhLZZcm7CXscJogLvSnavj3qdXxbrp-c65FNE04bIyIhJdUKwuHSz0vrHbP48fMYbc/s1600/18-weird-animal-flying-frog-articlemostwanted.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> The flying frog is a rare species that only passes down from its woods to mate. Generally known as the parachute frog, this species features strong membranes concerning its fingers and toes. Scientists originally thought the webbed digits were for swimming, because that’s an ordinary thing for frogs to complete, so they were surprised to view the frogs as a substitute gliding from woods to tree in order to avoid predators.<br /><br />The longest distance a flying frog has been observed to leap was over 15 feets (50 ft), just enough to make it completely to another tree or even to the ground. In supplement to its webbed numbers, the yellow-green amphibian’s oversize padded toes help it to stick to the trees for just a more secure obtaining, much like geckos.<br /><br /> <h3> 3. Salpa</h3> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiutOxhccJMVvldWjT1np9vduH2UBv9Vqs2NcZTEXqnswSM4J3JeAvOxrBDzxtgVriOm2grcga1qDvUrGOJlCq-Vdfl52Dr-9WHVONOR2roBt7BNxWNYWVefbYWT0cY5eXdT0tQfYkzx6E/s1600/18-weird-animal-salpa-articlemostwanted.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiutOxhccJMVvldWjT1np9vduH2UBv9Vqs2NcZTEXqnswSM4J3JeAvOxrBDzxtgVriOm2grcga1qDvUrGOJlCq-Vdfl52Dr-9WHVONOR2roBt7BNxWNYWVefbYWT0cY5eXdT0tQfYkzx6E/s1600/18-weird-animal-salpa-articlemostwanted.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> Probably on the list of stranger creatures on this planet, the salpa is usually an animal you would certainly swear was a great alien. Surprisingly, this jellyfish-looking thing that lives from the coast of California is not any jellyfish at almost is actually made up of smaller organisms in which stick and come together. Each salp, as they are called individually, is made connected with plankton and almost harmless.<br /><br />These organisms have become more and more abundant in recent years because of their incredible ability in order to clone themselves at will. These easygoing creatures cause much more problems than you’d believe, though. They have wrecked two fishing nets after being trapped inside them and even turn off a nuclear electric power plant in Colorado. Scientists say their capacity to adapt to unique temperatures of drinking water and immunity in order to human pollution means they might soon take in the ocean.<br /><br /> <h3> 2. Indian Purple Frog</h3> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQOU7xw42IUm5WpaM4A6xDZQ4f1th1KdnYMgEfRZ1MYEFiGfWXiYD9d90U2m8hdPwgZ6MNZEA_3Bm0jVGGzad-4YjZ_0zQv6tlDqrIcopt-t4tcK4uwU9apab3LnuElOy2fRhJ5x-qlD8/s1600/18-weird-animal-indian-purple-frog-articlemostwanted.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQOU7xw42IUm5WpaM4A6xDZQ4f1th1KdnYMgEfRZ1MYEFiGfWXiYD9d90U2m8hdPwgZ6MNZEA_3Bm0jVGGzad-4YjZ_0zQv6tlDqrIcopt-t4tcK4uwU9apab3LnuElOy2fRhJ5x-qlD8/s1600/18-weird-animal-indian-purple-frog-articlemostwanted.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> Your Indian purple frog, apparently not content simply becoming a color amphibians should not be, also happens to possess a ridiculous face and plump little system. When these unusual frogs are blessed, they start out there as tadpoles, the same as regular water frogs. The difference is the tadpoles have exactly the same trademark pig nostril that hangs as being a hook off its face.<br /><br />Scientists consider these strange capabilities developed after located their entire lifestyles underground. Its short limbs are meant to dig through the ground like tiny shovels. Many people do everything underground, only coming up to the surface a fortnight of their overall lives. During those a fortnight, the frogs only have enough time to find a mate and breed before they have to retreat back underground, never to make sure again. During on this occasion, the males shout loudly to appeal to females, the amount of their siren music getting louder because the rain increases.<br /><br /> <h3> 1. Blanket Octopus</h3> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCEUG7cjuE9YxPBYjoKMY6hxbB_WQ4fmoSVl0ZIF8TGqT4CD0U5CLrmuBui5e4c2YlOGBFD0CfbD2jw9uTCwwcv84DOZtaqNfLP3mgkabWiqfaqUX1Kn5IXCoUy0ZnYJwIjsbAB2WCVn4/s1600/18-weird-animal-octopus-articlemostwanted.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCEUG7cjuE9YxPBYjoKMY6hxbB_WQ4fmoSVl0ZIF8TGqT4CD0U5CLrmuBui5e4c2YlOGBFD0CfbD2jw9uTCwwcv84DOZtaqNfLP3mgkabWiqfaqUX1Kn5IXCoUy0ZnYJwIjsbAB2WCVn4/s1600/18-weird-animal-octopus-articlemostwanted.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> Living in the seas of completely New Zealand and Quarterly report, the blanket octopus (also generally known as the Superman or even Batman octopus) is nearly as rare because the gulper eel, but it lives in a lot shallower waters. Identifying males and females of this species is not hard because the ladies are nearly two meters (6 ft) longer compared to the males. Its “blanket” is employed for capturing victim, but if for some reason the octopus can’t attract a fish which consists of cape, it can detach bits of it to create itself “more desirable.”<br /><br />Not all is well in the octopus world, on the other hand. The blanket octopus’s arch nemesis could be the Portuguese man o’ war, a highly deadly jellyfish. The octopus is immune to the jellyfish’s toxins, but when a female octopus gets within a tangle with these kind of gelatinous masses, they are going to literally rip off a number of their own tentacles to make use of as weapons. The male includes a tentacle specifically with regard to reproduction purposes, plummeting off once mating features occurred and producing the male in order to die.<br /><br /><i>source: listverse</i>

Nonetheless, this is a reality those of you that have athelia, a rare genetic disorder that prevents the development of nipples inside the womb. Those with the illness are born with just one nipple or none at all.<br /><br />Athelia can be benign on its own, but for most, it is just a symptom of a medical problem like ectodermal dysplasia (ED) or Yunis-Varon syndrome (YVS). ED can be a genetic condition that can hinder the development or function in the teeth, hair, nails, and also sweat glands. There tend to be about 7, 000 diagnosed cases worldwide.<br /><br />Those who suffer by YVS are even less fortunate. In addition for the ectodermal tissue problems a result of ED, the disease in addition affects their skeletal program, respiratory system, and cardiovascular system. It was first recognized inside the 1980s, and fewer than 15 cases happen to be reported since then. Though ED sufferers can are living relatively normal lives in the event their condition is adequately managed, many of individuals who have YVS do not make it through infancy.<br /><br /> <h3> 9.

For those who prefer to augment their nipples, there are many options available. But nipple prostheses were made for a far nobler result in than pirate fashion: the actual emotional and psychological alleviation of breast cancer patients.<br /><br />The most surefire solution to eliminate breast cancer and prevent it from coming back can be a surgery called mastectomy, the total or partial removal of merely one or both breasts, which often means the losing of nipples. Women who have undergone mastectomy happen to be shown to suffer serious psychological distress after the loosing of their breasts and hard nipples, including a decreased wish for sex. Prostheses are a cheap, risk-free alternative to expensive, painful reconstruction for these women, and they have viewed a surge of popularity nowadays. Since stress can possibly be detrimental to proper recovery and might even encourage cancer mobile or portable growth, fake nipples could even be a lifesaver.<br /><br /> <h3> 8.

As an additional bonus, users can choose among a range of colors to suit their specific preferences or perhaps their mood. You can have a fresh nipple color every day if you need, just like facial foundation.<br /> <br />But Japan doesn’t possess a monopoly on nipple cosmetics—they will not be even the first to invent them.

During individuals times of chivalry and also romance, Venetian courtiers had several tricks up their masturbator sleeves to delight their knights in combat in shining armor. Some of those tricks was called pezzuola di Levante, a little piece of cloth colored with pigment and helpful to add a beautiful reddish tint thus to their lips, cheeks, and hard nipples.<br /><br />In the modern age, one of the corporations that pioneered the creation of nipple cosmetics hails from the USA. In 1977, a San Francisco cosmetic company called Benefit made a decision to answer the call of the exotic dancer who wanted something to “make her hard nipples pop out and appear rosier.” The result was something called Benetint, which is normally helpful to stain the lips and cheeks but was developed for use on any kind of body part the user wants becoming a bit redder.<br /><br /> <h3> 7.

But koro can impact women as well, it is much rarer. Female koro sufferers reckon that their nipples are being sucked to their breasts, which may or might not also be accompanied through the sudden retraction of their particular labia.<br /><br />Traditionally, possession by a malevolent female ghost or maybe a fox spirit is believed to be the cause of female koro. The recommended treatment should be to make loud noises, usually that has a gong or fireworks, to frighten the ghost away. If scaring the ghost rule isn't followed, the next course of action should be to exorcise it through discomfort. The sufferer’s head will be first covered in fishnet before she is severely beaten with divisions. Her nipples will be pulled while exorcism is taking place to make sure that they don’t disappear, which can be believed to cause instant death.<br /><br />It might seem strange to consider that shrinking unmentionables could possibly be fatal, but it all boils because of yin and yang, the actual respective negative feminine and also positive masculine forces connected with Chinese philosophy. An imbalance of these forces in the body is believed to cause numerous ailments depending on which the main body is affected through the imbalance, possibly leading to death. Koro is considered one such condition that will results from a difference of yin and yang.<br /><br /> <h3> 6.

Researchers from Rutgers College used fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) to examine the brain activity connected with women touching themselves in several places. When the ladies were asked to activate their nipples, the data gathered discovered that nipple stimulation equipment and lighting up the same the main brain connected with vaginal stimulation, leading researchers to postulate that it has the same result.<br /><br />Before you boys commence feeling cheated, there’s nice thing about it for you, too.

More famously known by his / her stage name, “The Fantastic Nippulini, ” Werbock built a profession as a nipple strongman, lifting or pulling heavy objects in reference to his nipples.<br /><br />Werbock was inspired to generate money with his herculean hard nipples when he saw video clips of performers lifting things using chests. He noticed that she had bigger nipples when compared with they did and wondered if he would use his nipples instead connected with his chest to lift heavy weights. He was right: The Great Nippulini is able to lift 32 kilograms (70 lb) on each side, earning him the globe record for the most weight lifted through the nipples in 2009. Apparently unsatisfied with just one world record under his / her belt, he earned a different in 2011 for taking a nearly 1, 000-kilogram (2, 190 lb) vehicle across the distance of 20 feets (66 ft).

However, recent studies on ancient fashion have shed new light about them. It looks like our venerable ancestors might possibly not have been that different by modern people—in some ways, they were even much more daring. For example, bare breasts with nipples entirely view was a trend among the fashionably inclined between the actual 14th and 18th hundreds of years.<br /><br />It all began along with Agnes Sorel, the mistress connected with King Charles the VII connected with France. Since King Charles’s girl preferred staying home to keep up her children to prancing around in court, Agnes shortly took over such queenly obligations, acting as the king’s consort while in public ceremonies and features. With her influence above the king and her continuous presence at court, Agnes wielded great influence above the nobility, especially the ladies. Being one of the most amazing women of her age, she liked to exhibit her womanly charms, especially by flaunting her wonderful breasts. She was seen to order her gowns intentionally designed to allow either one or both of her breasts to become displayed, and many noblewomen implemented her lead. Agnes’s nipple-baring antics became so troubling for that Church that a bishop lodged a complaint using the king to stop the woman sinful ways.<br /><br />Several ages after Agnes’s death, an influential noblewoman by Mantua named Isabella d’Este revived the style in the Italian and also French courts. She was so profitable that even the double of France joined in about the nipple-baring fun. The noblewomen during this time period were so concerned along with keeping their breasts pert and also their nipples in perfect shape they hired wet nurses to suckle their offspring, saving them from your disfiguring effects of nursing your baby.<br /><br /> <h3> 3. Drugged Nipples</h3> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1QhudtdvkFT-XvQKdoZ42gTnUBflQAt5XcY2g_1WMOQCqpljTZFUbhL4mpX12N06ATVoXMhSZ0Rht6lNZUu1_c1DpHcJUSTOGjLDdyhdJOSCvxmmTLBOTzRKdwOLhLL2DJoIOJcpVqA0/s1600/17-drugged-nipples-articlemostwanted.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="276" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1QhudtdvkFT-XvQKdoZ42gTnUBflQAt5XcY2g_1WMOQCqpljTZFUbhL4mpX12N06ATVoXMhSZ0Rht6lNZUu1_c1DpHcJUSTOGjLDdyhdJOSCvxmmTLBOTzRKdwOLhLL2DJoIOJcpVqA0/s1600/17-drugged-nipples-articlemostwanted.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> Thailand can be a beautiful country, rich with magnificent organic wonders and spicy cultural heritage that could entrance any traveler. The country has become just about the most visited destinations in recent times, making the tourism industry one of its biggest moneymakers. A big part of this industry caters to the sexual appetites connected with foreigners, thanks to the actual country’s liberal prostitution laws. Thai gangs soon shifted their awareness of fleecing these well-heeled tourists out of their money.<br /><br />These gangs possess a bizarre modus operandi, discovered in 1997 soon after several gang members with a Pattaya beach resort were busted through the investigation of the deaths greater than a dozen tourists by means of drug overdose. Their technique is both simple and also irresistible: A female or kathoey (transgender) person in the gang applies medicines to her nipples, lures an unsuspecting tourist to some hotel room or additional secluded spot, and encourages him to lick the woman nipples, knocking him out there within minutes. When the actual victim wakes up, absolutely nothing is left for him but the clothes on his back. Thai police have denied that this is still going on, but if you’re pondering taking an Asian trip, it’s better to possibly be safe than sorry on the subject of pretty strangers.<br /><br /> <h3> 2. Supernumerary Hard nipples</h3> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgewhcHE7KeF-rHhA8DCnqmn3cjkSnj9kIbjYPlDnxTSZPb2KfwAb95P__T-OgU_9oiZvUcYMuN17rooTI4V529aKRkVZd7Xqq_l2by6c9cMeEC2ZAyJWeT3VVhSD8HUQfxNPQOOwYwKZk/s1600/17-hairy-nipples-articlemostwanted.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgewhcHE7KeF-rHhA8DCnqmn3cjkSnj9kIbjYPlDnxTSZPb2KfwAb95P__T-OgU_9oiZvUcYMuN17rooTI4V529aKRkVZd7Xqq_l2by6c9cMeEC2ZAyJWeT3VVhSD8HUQfxNPQOOwYwKZk/s1600/17-hairy-nipples-articlemostwanted.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> Human nipples usually develop in pairs, but on account of some quirks of nature, about 1–5 percent in the population have more when compared with two. The extra nipples that signify a common condition called polythelia usually appear down the milk lines of the actual torso, an evolutionary leftover from our multi-nippled forefathers. But they can also grow on the rest of the body—one girl even had a well-formed nipple, detailed with an aureola and nipple hair, growing on her foot or so. Since most supernumerary nipples will not be fully formed, they in many cases are mistaken for moles or warts, which means that some individuals are not even aware they've already them.<br /><br />During medieval times, extra nipples were known as “witches’ teats” or “witches’ marks” and accepted as a sign that the actual bearer was consorting along with diabolical forces. Demonologists in the period believed that extra nipple was used by means of witches to suckle imps or their familiars using blood. Nowadays, there isn't a longer any negative stigma placed on having extra nipples. Some famous personalities include even admitted to having them nowadays.<br /><br /> <h3> 1.

However, if modern monarchies followed a similar rituals and traditions because ancient Irish, the whole affair could have at least a PG-13 score. To the ancient Celtic people, the king’s nipples were being considered sacred, and that they showed their obedience by means of ritually sucking his hard nipples during royal ceremonies.<br /><br />Ancient Ireland wasn’t always a real safe place for the king’s nipples, however. Scientists researching bodies within Irish bogs have speculated that the ritual mutilation of individuals nipples are signs they were high-ranking royals. This is due to the king’s nipples were such an issue that cunning claimants for the throne often devised dastardly schemes to shut down their rivals’ nipples, when a king conceded destroy in war or his / her people overthrew him, his nipples were shut down before he was slain.<br /><br />It was also thought that the king served as the consort in the Celtic fertility goddess, which meant that starvation or pestilence were caused by her displeasure with them, necessitating a sacrifice to appease her and bring bounty back to the land. As an outcome, any time misfortune befell the actual kingdom, the nipples was required to go.<br /> <br /> <i>source: http://listverse.com/2014/07/14/10-titillating-facts-about-nipples/</i>

It reaches into parts of PERU, BOLIVIA, CHILE, and ARGENTINA. On the west, it bounds the Cordillera Occidental and borders the Cordillera Oriental on the east. It is surrounded by volcanoes reaching altitudes of 19,685 ft (6,000 m), whose activities have caused landfalls that are responsible for the reshaping of this large plateau. The Altiplano has an area of 105,633 square mi (170,000 square km) that is volcanic in origin.<br /><br />Lake Titicaca is the lowest point of the Altiplano, and occupies its northern basin. It is located at an altitude of 12,500 ft (3,810 m). It has an area of 5,632 square mi (14,587 square km) and reaches depths of 1,214 ft (370 m), making it the highest navigable body of water on earth. The large volume of water makes it possible for the lake to retain a stable 50 degrees F (10 degrees C) temperature. The lake plays an important part in affecting the surrounding climate. The southern basin of the Altiplano is occupied by shallow salt lakes and flats. Lake Titicaca drains into Lake Poopo through the Desaguadero River. Lake Poopo, which is a shallow saltwater lake whose depth rarely reaches more than 13 ft. (4 m), is dependent on the flow of water from Lake Titicaca and seasonal rainfall. One of the largest salt flats in the Altiplano is the Uyuni Saltpan. It is all that remains of an ancient lake that covered an area of 5,592 square mi (14,483 square km). Today, this saltpan is filled with salt, which can be as deep as 16 ft (5 m).<br /><br />The Altiplano’s climate is characterized by a long dry season, lasting from April to November, and a short wet season. The wet season is from November to March, when 95 percent of the rainfall occurs. The amount of rain decreases from northeast to southwest. This is possible since a rain shadow effect is created that allows the northeast to receive more water. The Cordillera Oriental, for example, receives about 51 in (130 cm) of water annually, while the southern Antiplano receives only 6 in (15 cm). The atmosphere here is more transparent to radiation because of the greenhouse effect. This causes an increase in nighttime heat loss, which is noticeably greater than the rate at sea level. The ultraviolet radiation is 20 percent greater in the Altiplano than the radiation at sea level.<br /><br />The highest temperatures during the summer are measured in late November, reaching 68 degrees F (20 degrees C) during daytime and falling to near 5 degrees F (-15 degrees C) at night. During the winter, June to August, mean temperatures reach as high as 55 degrees F (13 degrees C) and fall to 12 degrees F (-11 degrees C) at night. Strong winds are common in the Altiplano, reaching 62 mi per hour (97 km per hour). They are present nearly every day and are usually stronger in the afternoon.<br /><br />The Altiplano ecosystem has a dry STEPPE climate, predominated by grasses. The lack of oxygen in the high altitudes of the Altiplano allows only a few plants and animals to survive. Some of the animals living in the region are condors, flamingos, and different species of cameloids (e.g., American camels), llamas, alpacas, and many bird species. The Altiplano is also home to the quenoa tree, which grows at an elevation of over 11,500ft (3,500 m).<br /><br />The Altiplano has been home to the Inca peoples. Today, some of its areas are populated by Aymara natives. Since the Inca’s time, the plateau has seen much mining: Gold and silver are two of the metals sought by miners and mining companies. Other natural re-sources include tin, natural gas, petroleum, zinc, tungsten, antimony, silver, iron, and lead. Mining has been the source of pollution to the air, water, and soil in the Altiplano.<br /><i><br />BIBLIOGRAPHY.
