10 Strangest Defense Mechanisms In Nature
10. Flying Fish Click Here for your $750 PayPal Gift Card!! Although many organisms possess the ability to fly, fish are typically not thought to possess this trait. Fish that can fly can leap out of the water and travel great distances by flying or gliding. This is a defensive strategy to get away from predators. The flying fish's body is streamlined and torpedo-shaped, which aids in its ability to gather enough energy to break through the water's surface. The fish can swim as fast as 37 miles per hour (60 kilometers per hour) in order to escape the sea. The pectoral fins of fish have evolved into sizable wings that enable flight. When it emerges from the water, it can soar up to 656 feet (200 meters),using the fin on its tail as a kind of propeller. A flying fish was seen gliding for a record-breaking 45 seconds in 2008 in Japan.

Approaches to Social Change
There are two very common approaches to social change bottom-up and top-down. The biggest difference between the two is who starts the programs. Top-down programs have experts, professionals, or elite citizens who form the programs with the best intentions but never really truly understanding just what needs to be done due to a lack of firsthand experience with the intended target of change (Kloos, B., Hill, J., Thomas, E., Wandersman, A., Elias, M. J., and Dalton, J. H., 2012). Bottom-up is the opposite. Bottom-up designs start with people who have experienced or are experiencing the social problems that they seek to change and have an inside look into what needs to be done and the most effective ways to do so (Kloos et al., 2012).

Sense of Community, Citizen Participation, and Empowerment
Sense of community, citizen participation, and empowerment. Three concepts that are inarguably tied together. A successful community shows signs of all three concepts. What are these concepts though? How are they defined? Well, these three concepts are important aspects if community psychology. Sense of community, as defined by Sarason (1990, as cited in Kloos et al, 2012), is the sense that you are not alone in the world. An individual receives benefits, such as a neighborhood watch or emotional support, from being a part of a community, such as a religious or geographic community.

The Human Super Computer
Humans and computers are more alike than most of us know, and for a good reason. They are created like humans because we humans, created them. In our own likeness. We took on the role of a God, Creator and Destroyer, Ruler and Champion, and became all of the above, one and the same.

Death Rites
The following list is of the more interesting funeral rites that I have found: Endocannibalism, Tibetan Buddhist Celestial Burials, Sati, and the mortuary totem poles. For some cultures, the best way to honor the dead is by eating them. Such was the tradition of funerary cannibalism of the Wari’ tribe (pib.socioambiental.org). The rite of Endocannibalism was used by the Wari’ to dispose of the body of deceased family. Among family you were either close family or distant family. The close family prepared the funeral doing the “cooking” of the body and preparing to burn the deceased person possessions. When the distant family arrived and the funeral takes place, the distant family take part by feeding on the cooked meat of the corpse (pib.socioambiental.org).

Anthropocentrism vs. Ecocentrism
When looking at the environment, human beings generally take one of two major viewpoints. These two viewpoints are anthropocentrism, also known as homocentrism (Merchant, 1992; Oelschlaeger, 1991) and Ecocentrism, also known as biocentrism (Leopold, 1949) and each is different from the other.

Return of the Thunder Lizard
Up until the 1870s, there were about 9 specimens of dinosaurs found in North America. They were not classified very well, and some were mixed bones with another dinosaurs. It was a mess! The first man to discover a full dinosaur skeleton was a man named Foulke who was working for a man named Edward Cope. They were working on a dig in some Marl pits in New Jersey and came across a complete Hadrosaurus. Also working for Cope were two men who were taking fossils from the site and selling to a rival from New York, Charles Marsh of Yale’s Peabody Natural History Museum. The problem was that Marsh hardly ever paid on time and he was miserly when it came to sharing information. This was the beginning of Paleontology in the United States and the start of the great Bone Wars!
