Strange Stuff In Space

There is some pretty strange stuff in space. Things that not even the strangest science fiction stories have dreamed. Some things are just so weird that even astrophysicists don't know what they are.

When stars die they go out in many different ways. When normal stars, like our sun, die they go by throwing off their outer layers and leaving behind a White Dwarf. When really massive stars die they often blow up in a huge explosion called a Supernova. Depending on how massive a star was that went supernova, a Neutron Star or a Black Hole may be left behind as a monument to the star's life.

But there are still stranger things in space. Not very long ago astronomers were baffled by the mystery of Quasars. These objects look like stars but are much farther away than stars in our galaxy and they are much brighter.

There is also a phenomenon that has caused much excitement and wonder among astronomers called Gravitational Lensing. This is where really massive things, like galaxies and galaxy clusters, actually bend light like a lens using gravity!

But one of the strangest things in space is the mystery of Gamma Ray Bursts. These are what seem to be random bursts of gamma rays, you know the radiation that made the Incredible Hulk. They come from every direction in the sky, they never repeat, and they are very energetic.

Get Rid of Squirrels

Squirrels are lovely little animals in the nature, but we often find them irritating in our garden. They love to dig up your lawn, flower beds, plants and seeds, destroy all your fruits and smash your bird feeder. How to get rid of Squirrels immediately when you can’t tolerate them anymore?

Well, here we have found the solution for you! But, some solution is not too pleasant please bare with it.

Burning Sensation
Using dried peppermint, peppermint oil, cayenne powder or hot chili pepper can cause burning sensation to squirrels but no physical injury. Sprinkler them along the perimeter of your plant or spray them on any food they like. This method maybe a little troublesome, because that you need to reapply it each time after raining.

Pellet Gun
Get a pellet gun together with some premium pellets. All you have to do is by spending a week or two guarding at the window. Once you see any squirrel in your shooting range. FIRE! Clean and sweet technique.

Cat
Consider getting yourself a cat and allowed it to stay outdoor. Cat by natural are good hunter, they can help keeping squirrels out of your garden. However do take note that, cats not only hunt down squirrels, they prey on birds too. You may want to reconsider this option. I feel it’s kind of irresponsible.

Live Traps
Havahart traps work well, trying using apple slice with peanut butter as bait. Catch them alive and relocate them. If you dun want to kill them, this may be the best solution.

Rat Zapper
A straight forward trap. Trap, dead and throw. Clean and efficient no handling of carcasses.

Plant Garlic
By planting garlic and sprinkled garlic powder along side with your seeds. Squirrels just hate the smelling of garlic. This method helps to keep squirrels away from your seeds.

Feed them
Feed squirrels with sunflower seed together with a big dish of water at the other side of your garden. They wouldn’t border you after that. This may not be the correct way, but it works to some extend.

Rat Snake
You can consider a rat snake to get rid of squirrels and at the same time keep it as a pet. Be sure that none of your family members are afraid of reptiles. Rat snake is only large enough to eat squirrel and not a threat to human or dog.

Try to avoid killing if possible. Living in harmony with our surrounding animals makes this world a better place.

Alexander the Great

Alexander the Great (Greek: Μέγας Αλέξανδρος[1] Megas Alexandros; July 21, 356 BC — June 11, 323 BC), also known as Alexander III, king of Macedon (336–323 BC), is considered one of the most successful military commanders in history, conquering most of his known world before his death. Alexander is also known in the Zoroastrian Middle Persian work Arda Wiraz Nāmag as "the accursed Alexander" due to his conquest of the Persian Empire and the destruction of its capital Persepolis. He is known as Eskandar in Persian and even acclaimed during the construction of the Great Wall Sadd-e Eskandar by the Parthian Dynasty[citation needed]. He is also known as Sikandar in Urdu and Hindi, a term also used as a synonym for "expert" or "extremely skilled".

Early life

Alexander the Great was the son of King Philip II of Macedonia and of his fourth wife, Epirote princess Olympias. According to Plutarch (Alexander 3.1,3), Olympias was impregnated not by Philip, who was afraid of her, and her affinity for sleeping in the company of snakes, but by Zeus Ammon. Plutarch (Alexander 2.2-3) relates that both Philip and Olympias dreamt of their son's future birth. Olympias dreamed of a loud burst of thunder and of lightning striking her womb. In Philip's dream, he sealed her womb with the seal of the lion. Alarmed by this, he consulted the seer Aristander of Telmessus, who determined that his wife was pregnant and that the child would have the character of a lion.

Aristotle was Alexander's tutor; he gave Alexander a thorough training in rhetoric and literature and stimulated his interest in science, medicine, and philosophy. After his visit to the Oracle of Ammon at Siwa, according to five historians of antiquity (Arrian, Curtius, Diodorus, Justin, and Plutarch), rumors spread that the Oracle had revealed Alexander's father to be Zeus, rather than Philip.

Ascent of Macedon

When Philip led an attack on Byzantium in 340 BC, Alexander, aged 16, was left as regent of Macedonia. In 339 BC, Philip took a fifth wife, the Macedonian Cleopatra. As Alexander's mother, Olympias, was from Epirus (a land in the western part of the Greek peninsula and not part of Macedon), and Cleopatra was a true Macedonian, this led to a dispute over Alexander's legitimacy as heir to the throne. Attalus, the uncle of the bride, supposedly gave a toast during the wedding feast giving his wish for the wedding to result in a legitimate heir to the throne of Macedon; Alexander hurled his goblet at Attalus shouting "What am I, a bastard then?" Alexander's father apparently had drawn his sword and moved towards Alexander, but then had fallen in a drunken stupor. Alexander remarked "Here is the man planning on conquering from Greece to Asia, and he cannot even move from one table to another." Alexander, his mother, and sister (also named Cleopatra) then left Macedon in anger.

Eventually Philip reconciled with his son, and Alexander returned home; Olympias and Alexander's sister remained in Epirus. In 338 BC Alexander assisted his father at the decisive Battle of Chaeronea against the Greek city-states of Athens and Thebes, in which the cavalry wing led by Alexander annihilated the Sacred Band of Thebes, an elite corps regarded as invincible. After the battle, Phillip led a wild celebration, from which Alexander was notably absent (it is believed he was treating the wounded and burying the dead, both of his own troops and of the enemy). Philip was content to deprive Thebes of her dominion over Boeotia and leave a Macedonian garrison in the citadel. A few months later, to strengthen Macedon's control over the Greek city-states, the League of Corinth was formed.

Never Too Late to Exercise

LARGO, Fla. (Ivanhoe Broadcast News) -- If you ask a Golden Ager if they exercise, most will say they walk. While walking is good, new research shows seniors need to "pump it up" a little more.

Fit, healthy and young? Not exactly. The fastest-growing age group in the United States is those older than 85. And many are finding the key to a healthy life is sweat.

"If you don't exercise, you'll become physically and mentally stagnate the older you get, and I'm not gonna get that way," says 70-year old Dee Purdue.

A new study shows you don't have to do much to see the benefits -- anything from sitting exercises to weight training machines. Just 45 minutes of strength training two times a week increases quality of life by 40 percent.

Bob Simons, Ph.D. a health and fitness expert at The Bonsai Spa and Fitness Center in Largo, Florida, says, "When you exercise even a minimal amount at the age of 85, you can make some phenomenal gains."

He led the study and saw the results firsthand. "After about the sixth or seventh week, they had a garage sale, and several walkers and canes were in that garage sale," Simmons tells Ivanhoe.

But convincing a senior to hit the gym is not easy. This is a generation that knows hard times and hard work, not necessarily healthy habits. Dr. Simons says you have to relate exercise to their everyday living. Once they feel the benefits, it's easy to get them coming back.

Dr. Simons says to talk to your doctor before starting to exercise, but 99 percent of the time, you can start some type of program at any age with any ailment. For some seniors, simple sitting exercises is where they need to start. Others are ready to do weight training on machines or more intense cardio workouts.
