Watch this animated map to see birds' migrations in a climate-affected future.

On this mesmerizing animated map, you can watch the projected movements of nearly 3,000 species of birds, mammals, and amphibians over the next 70 years. The projections show animals searching for cooler temperatures in our warming world while avoiding man-made obstacles like roads and cities. Luckily birds have a big advantage in the search for new habitats: wings.

These maps, published by the Nature Conservancy, highlight the major migratory routes wildlife will take and the lands that we will need to preserve to make these journeys possible. Learn more about these projected migrations and how they can guide our future conservation.

Exoplanet Findings Upend Ideas of Planetary Formation

Few if any astronomers expected the sheer diversity of planets beyond our solar system. We thought other planetary systems would resemble our own, but after more than 1,000 exoplanets have been found, scientists realized that this assumption couldn't be less true. In this eBook, Exoplanets: Worlds Without End, we analyze the bizarre and wondrous worlds beyond our own. From gas giants that have journeyed far from their point of origin to so-called "diamond planets" with alien chemistries to a second generation of planets forming around white dwarfs to distant planets orbiting binary stars, we delve into the findings that have confounded expectations.

Deaf Born and the "Inner Self"

2013-12-16T14:08:00.001-08:00

The inner self is a term used to describe the subconscious thought of who I am and my reaction to the outside world.
Would a deaf born person turn to the direction of loud noise in your neighborhood? Is the mind that powerful to receive and send signals spontaneously that deaf humans can pick it up? Ttelepathy seems to be playing a major part of the study.
http://www.wikihow.com/Gain-Insight-Into-a-Shy-Girl%27s-Mind
http://embracingyourinnerself.com/
http://embracingyourinnerself.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/The-inner-sun-meditation.mp3
http://www.deafchildworldwide.info/

The group that a deaf born person is studying and reading with is the support group. Help to understand inner self comes from this group. Students who have deaf people in there class should not be afraid of the help of thinking how that voice that is inside all of us sound to my classmate who is deaf. Reading comes as an ease because of the majority of us who hear sounds of the world that can internalize it and process it in our brain to fully concentrate on reading or thinking. Is a deaf born person unable to concentrate as well as the average person? These are all questions that the brain may be able to answer after further studies with groups of deaf born people verses groups of not deaf born people.

http://deafness.about.com/

">

Congenital deafness is a term used to describe the condition of infants born without the ability to hear. Potential causes for this condition include both genetic factors and non-genetic factors such as illness, toxin exposure and infection.

Genetics

Genetics account for more than 50 percent of all congenital hearing loss, according to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. Known factors include dominant and recessive hearing loss traits, as well as sex chromosome-related hearing loss traits.

Genetic FactorDeaf parents who carry a dominant gene for deafness can pass on genetically dominant hearing loss to their children, reports the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. Parents who carry a recessive deafness gene can pass on hearing loss at a lower average rate, while mothers who carry a recessive hearing loss trait on their sex chromosomes can pass deafness only to their male children.

Genetic Syndromes

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association cites genetic syndromes known to cause deafness that include Usher syndrome, Down syndrome, Crouzon syndrome and Treacher Collins syndrome.

Gene GJB2

Changes in the gene GJB2, which helps control the function of the cochlea in the inner ear, can trigger congenital hearing loss, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Non-Genetic Causes

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association cites non-genetic causes of congenital deafness that include maternal diabetes, toxemia and maternal infection with rubella, herpes simplex or cytomegalovirus.

Trinidad Blue Crab

2013-10-30T16:12:00.001-07:00

The Trinidad Blue Crab is always found close to mangroves or close the shoreline. A crab is an animal that is covered by a hard shell, and that has jointed legs. It lives in shallow waters along the shore and in deep waters. These set of pictures were taken at the BelAir area after a #flood. These are adult and have come out of hiding to look for food otherwise would have been out of site until the next heavy rain. They are of great value for food. Crabs eat other small crustaceans and organic matter.

Sleep and the brain

2013-10-23T14:45:00.001-07:00

Sleep is all so important. Sleep and the human brain is a catalyst for healthy living. The brain has tiny neurons which shrink when asleep. Toxic waste is removed by fluids rushing through the brain cells when we sleep. No sleep equates to more brain disorders. Sleep and the brain go hand in hand to fix memories and learning.
The argument is that the psychological reason for sleep is memory gain and learning. Sleep restores brain cells and has protection effects on the brain. Exercise is needed for good brain health.
