The biological/evolutionary/ecological value of mosquitoes escapes me. They may play role in pollination and certainly provide many animals with a source of food; but many other species accomplish both of these tasks. In the case of animals who eat mosquitoes, it is estimated that the mosquitoes only make up 1% of their food source.  What then is so special about mosquitoes? Surely they must have some redeeming factor that has left them in the evolutionary pool. What that factor is, I can't tell you.

When it comes to an encounter with a mosquito, I view it as a battle of fittest; self-preservation if you will. I swat, clap my hands in an attempt to kill them in midair, and if need be I will engage in bizarre dancing, hopping, and running behaviors. I even go to such extremes as to use Deet to keep these beasts at bay despite the fact that this chemical substance once melted part of my shoe and a leather knife sheath when it spilled in my bag. I would rather put a plastic-eating chemical on my skin than have a mosquito land on it. After a battle with mosquitoes, I retreat to the great indoors, survey my wounds and reach for the Benadryl. As I drift into an antihistamine-induced slumber, I can't help but wonder, "why do mosquitoes exist?"

Unfortunately nobody really thinks about these jobs as they're being interrogated by their high school guidance counselor as to what they'd like to be when they grow up, since most of these jobs are behind the scenes and not out there in the spotlight like an actor or an astronaut. These are also the guys and gals who need to study both molecules and Monet, but in exchange I believe they get a fuller view of the world.

A new white humpback has been sighted off Byron Bay on the east coast of Australia.

The newcomer, which was filmed by a television news helicopter, has excited marine scientists who think it may be related to Migaloo - to date, the only known all-white humpback whale.

Migaloo is somewhat of a celebrity down under. Why? "Because as far as we know, he is globally unique," said Professor Peter Harrison from the Whale Research Centre, Southern Cross University.

It now seems that Migaloo, (whose Aboriginal name means "white fellow") might have competition. Although predominantly white, the new whale does have some black markings near its head and tail. So who is the newcomer?

A white calf was spotted with a normal humpback mother in Byron Bay two years ago. Experts say the new whale could be the offspring of Migaloo but further tests need to be carried out.

A record number of humpbacks have been spotted off the Australian coast this year on their annual migration north to their breeding grounds. One thing scientists do agree on is that this second white whale has never been seen in these waters before. - bbc

One of the fawn’s two tails had to be amputated after the fight, during which it became separated from its mother.

Vets treating the animal say that its extra limbs are the result of an identical twin that did not fully develop in the womb.

The fawn has two distinct pelvises, and uses one leg from each pelvis when it walks.

“It is really an anomaly,” said Dan Pate of the West Rome Animal Clinic in Rome, in the US state of Georgia.

“Somehow it has a fairly normal gait, although the centre legs seem to get in the way."

The deer was brought in for treatment after being attacked by dogs belonging to walkers Melissa and Alan Dunagan.

"It wasn’t until after we put the dogs back in the house and were about to release the fawn that we realised it had six legs,” Mrs Dunagan said.

Vets expect the deer to recover completely, after which it will likely be taken to deer facility at the University of Georgia. - telegraph

As I am fond of saying, this is an example of evolution in action. ... but obviously six legged mammals are not any better than four legged mammals, or we would have some by now.

The experiment with six legs happens more than you might think. Here is a six legged cow from 2007:

Residents of the Colombian town of Villa Vieja got a bit of a surprise when a calf was born with six legs, two sets of genitals and two udders. - metro

In nature, it is quite rare to encounter octopi with extra tentacles (or “arms,” for the purists), but a pair of aquariums in Japan’s Mie prefecture have some extraordinary specimens on hand.

The permanent display at the Shima Marineland Aquarium in the town of Shima includes a 96-tentacled Common Octopus (Octopus vulgaris) that weighed 3.3 kilograms (about 7 lbs) and measured 90 centimeters (3 ft) long when it was captured in nearby Matoya Bay in December 1998. Before dying 5 months later, the creature laid eggs, making it the first known extra-tentacled octopus to do so in captivity. All the baby octopi hatched with the normal number of tentacles, but unfortunately they only survived a month.

The preserved octopus actually has the normal number of 8 appendages attached to its body, but each one branches out to form the multitude of extra tentacles. Apparently there is no theory that fully explains the surplus tentacles, but they are believed to be the result of abnormal regeneration that occurred after the octopus suffered some sort of injury. ...  - see the full article pinktentacle for another pic and more.

Roy Chapman Andrews on an Expedition.  His Death Marked the End of Large-Scale Exploration. 

A simple answer is no.  Thre are still vast parts of the world where few people have and ever will visit.  Take Patagonia, the Sahara, the Amazon, and the Himalaya as just a few examples.  Just in 2005 a new cave large enough to fit a jumbo jet was discovered in Venezuela.  But what about that abomination, adventure tourism.  Tourists are now flocking to sites of National Geographic pictures to get a photo op of there own.

In fact, adventure tourism has really sparked the surge in exploration again.  People are now going places and asking their guides, where does that river lead?  Is there anything on the other side of the mountain.  How far does this plain stretch? 

Micro-exploration is a great, local, cheap way to explore.  You will be amazed at some of the places you can find in your local nature preserve or park.  But if money is what you need and adventure what you want, second-hand gear is perfectly alright.  You don't have to go corporate.  Jungle explorer Tahir Shah buys all of his equipment from the classifieds.  Instead of commercial boats, take a freighter out to sea.  Bio-exploration is another great alternative.  Prominent biologist Edward O. Wilson believes that 90 percent of all insects are still not discovered. 

Even if you can travel, be prepared and plan out your trip.  You can still visit those hotspots, but declare that you want to find a long forgotten oais and, to borrow Nike's phrase, just do it.  Never feel that something is childish or stupid.  Being mature is overrated (let me tell you). 

If you aren't ready to take the leap out into the unknown or just don't have the funds.  Take some armchair adventures.  I suggest books like Jim Krakauer's Eiger Dreams, or National Geographic's Worlds to Explore.  These stories will inspire you and give you ideas for some adventures of your own.  Tracking an old explorer's path is another great way to have adventures.  Just, have fun with it.  theexplorerschool.com

Acute Schistosoma mansoni Infection Increases Susceptibility to Systemic SHIV Clade C Infection in Rhesus Macaques after Mucosal Virus Exposure. PLoS Negl Trop Dis 2(7): e265
Individuals living in sub-Saharan Africa represent 10% of the world’s population but almost 2/3 of all HIV-1/ AIDS cases. The disproportionate HIV-1 infection rates in this region may be linked to helminthic parasite infections that affect many individuals in the developing world. However, the hypothesis that parasite infection increases an individual’s susceptibility to HIV-1 has never been prospectively tested in a relevant in vivo model. We measured whether pre-existing infection of rhesus monkeys with a parasitic worm would facilitate systemic infection after mucosal AIDS virus exposure. Two groups of animals, one consisting of normal monkeys and the other harboring Schistosoma mansoni, were challenged intrarectally with decreasing doses of R5-tropic clade C simian-human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV-C). Systemic infection occurred in parasitized monkeys at viral doses that remained sub-infectious in normal hosts. In fact, the 50% animal infectious (AID50) SHIV-C dose was 17-fold lower in parasitized animals compared to controls (P,0.001). Coinfected animals also had significantly higher peak viral RNA loads than controls (P,0.001), as well as increased viral replication in CD4+ central memory cells (P = 0.03). Our data provide the first direct evidence that acute schistosomiasis significantly increases the risk of de novo AIDS virus acquisition, and the magnitude of the effect suggests that control of helminth infections may be a useful public health intervention to help decrease the spread of HIV-1.

Lichtenstein in the park

This wasn't New Orleans in August 2005. This was New England in August 1635, battered by what was later dubbed "The Great Colonial Hurricane" — the first major storm suffered by the first North American settlers, just 14 years after the initial Thanksgiving celebration in Plymouth Colony.

The Puritans, after landing at Plymouth Rock, endured disease, brutal winters and battles with the natives. But their biggest test roared up the coast from the south, an unprecedented and terrifying tempest that convinced rattled residents the apocalypse was imminent.

And why not? The transplanted Europeans knew almost nothing of hurricanes, an entirely foreign phenomenon. Their fears of approaching death were reinforced when a lunar eclipse followed the natural disaster.

Once the weather cleared and the sun rose again, the few thousand residents of Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay colonies were left to rebuild and recover from a hurricane as powerful as 1938's killer Long Island Express. The 20th century hurricane killed 700 people, including 600 in New England, and left 63,000 homeless.

"The settlers easily could have packed up and gone home," said Nicholas K. Coch, a professor of geology at Queens College and one of the nation's foremost hurricane experts. "It was an extraordinary event, a major hurricane, and nearly knocked out British culture in America."

Last year, Coch used information that he collected from detailed colonial journals to reconstruct the great hurricane. The 371-year-old data was brought to Brian Jarvinen at the National Hurricane Center, where it was interpreted using the SLOSH (Sea, Lake and Overland Surges from Hurricanes) computer model.

The result: The hurricane likely tracked farther west than was thought, passing over uninhabited easternmost Long Island before moving north into New England. Once clear of the colonies, it veered off into the Atlantic.

Previously, researchers had believed the hurricane missed Long Island — which always annoyed Coch.

"We started out doing this as a lark, and it turned out to be a very interesting piece of science," said Coch. "This information can be applied to any hurricane in the north. I think that's neat."

Coch said the pioneers from across the Atlantic likely endured a Category 3 hurricane, moving faster than 30 mph, with maximum winds of 130 mph and a very high storm surge — 21 feet at Buzzards Bay and 14 feet at Providence. Reports at the time said 17 American Indians were drowned, while others scaled trees to find refuge.

The storm was moving about three times as fast as the typical southern hurricane, and arrived in full bluster. Although it struck nearly four centuries ago, very specific details about the first recorded hurricane in North America were provided by the local leaders' writings.

"The documentation was better than any hurricane until the mid-1800s," said Coch. "That's a story in itself."

John Winthrop, head of the Massachusetts Bay group, recalled in his Aug. 16, 1635, entry that the winds were kicking up a full week before the hurricane.

Once it did arrive, the hurricane "blew with such violence, with abundance of rain, that it blew down many hundreds of trees, overthrew some houses, and drove the ships from their anchors," Winthrop wrote. He detailed the deaths of eight American Indians sucked under the rising water while "flying from their wigwams."

William Bradford, the leader of the Plymouth group, offered a similarly florid recounting.

"Such a mighty storm of wind and rain as none living in these parts, either English or Indian, ever saw," he wrote. "It blew down sundry houses and uncovered others ... It blew down many hundred thousands of trees, turning up the stronger by the roots and breaking the higher pine trees off in the middle."

The local crops, along with the forests and many local structures like the Aptucxet trading house on the southwest side of Cape Cod, suffered major damage. Bradford, in his account, predicted signs of the damage would endure into the next century.

So brutal was the storm that 50 years later, Increase Mather wrote simply, "I have not heard of any storm more dismal than the great hurricane which was in August 1635." His father, the Rev. Richard Mather, was aboard one of the ships nearly sunk at sea by the ferocious weather — but he survived, along with about 100 other passengers.

Others were less fortunate.

The Rev. Anthony Thacher, his cousin and their two families were headed by boat on a short swing from Ipswich to Marblehead. The fast-moving storm smashed their craft on the rocks, dooming all aboard except for the preacher and his wife, who somehow survived the storm as 21 others perished.

"Before daylight, it pleased God to send so mighty a storm as the like was never felt in New England since the English came there nor in the memories of any of the Indians," Thacher wrote in a letter home to his brother.

Thacher's Island and Avery's Rock — named for his late cousin Joseph Avery — remain as geographic reminders of the storm and its toll.

Coch said the most interesting news about the hurricane, more than 350 years later, is that storms can often follow the same track. And just a minuscule shift of the storm's movement in the area of North Carolina — "a fraction of a degree" — could send a hurricane up through Providence and right into Boston, the professor said.

"We could have a catastrophic situation with national repercussions," said Coch. "If the track of a future moves 25 miles to the west of the 'Colonial Hurricane,' the dangerous right side could pass right over Boston and Providence. That's why we study old hurricanes in the Northeast."

How did chiggers make a living before people started wearing clothes?

An entomologist explained in a college "bugs and boys" class that chiggers have weak mouth parts so they need pressure to clamp onto our skin.  The invention of elastic waistbands was a huge boon to chiggerdom. 

This is blackberry season, which means every time I bring in a bowl of berries from my bushes, I'm also wearing a crop of chiggers.  I've never seen a chigger, but they sure make their presence known. Huge itching welts appear, usually in a line along my underwear.   Bug spray doesn't always work, either. It's almost like salad dressing to the bugs.

What would happen if we gardened in the nude?  Would the poor chiggers wander the naked skin, unable to take a bite? 

Naked gardening does pose other problems -- sun overexposure and skin overexposure. I wouldn't want a golfer on the adjoining course to miss a shot, shocked by the sight of me scampering around naked with a berry basket.  Some night I may just creep out to the bushes under the moonlight, flashlight in hand, hoping I don't surprise a hungry raccoon, and tell those chiggers, "Bite me, if you can!"

(His Mind and World Peace is not responsible for any content on YouTube. Please view cautiously.)

Child neglect is defined as the failure of adults to provide the basic needs of children, including but not limited to food, clothing, shelter, and healthcare. Sadly, over 90,000 cases of child neglect are reported each year in the United States, alone.

Parents who embrace and encourage their child to live a lie, are abusing their children in the most literal sense of the word.

A biological boy cannot, under any circumstance or effort, become a girl. A biological male is male because of the distinction of his sex organs, and the undeniable difference in his chromosomes. A little boy can dress up like a girl, ingest female hormones, and even reshape or remove his genitals. But that biological male  will not ever succeed in changing his biological assignment established at conception.

This is why people suffering from the confusion known as Gender Identity Disorder are considered disordered-- their mind and behavior is out of order, and literally abnormal.

Adults relentlessly teach children that choices can hurt others, hurt themselves, and some choices and decisions simply don’t make sense.  

I can’t help but wonder: What are those who encourage Gender Identity Disorders as normal teaching their children about the very basic facts of life and living? We teach our children foundational truths, like 2+2= 4, only to later confuse them about yet another undeniable truth: a biological man cannot ever become a woman.

All over the United States, ordinances and laws are being passed and proposed under the guise of protecting homosexuals and transgenders from discrimination. These "gender identity" ordinances are truly not about fear or even discrimination. This issue is about the attempt of politicians and homosexual activists, to force the majority of society to accept and embrace the life-choices of a minority. This issue is about the relentless attempt to redefine basic truths. Maleness and femaleness is not a political issue, nor should it ever be; it is a biological issue.

Let us get a firm grasp on the fundamentals of life so that we won’t live hypocritically before our children. Our children look to us for clear, unconfused guidance; they deserve to be guided well.  If we don't, we might as well start teaching our children that 1+1 = 3. 

People who live and advocate for the acceptance of transgenderism resist Truth, and lie to the most vulnerable members of society: our children.

In part one of the video above, Barbara Walters says she hopes people will gain a "greater understanding" of transgender disorder . . . What is there to better understand, Ms. Walters? A male is not a female. This isn't complicated. It's the basics. 

NOTE: ABC, the network which broadcasts Barbara Walters'  "20/20" program, is owned by The Walt Disney Company, and often considered America's "family network."
