    <br> The long wavelengths, beamed from large towers on the ground are unique in their ability to travel through salty water but some end up in space instead. According to a new report, they may be forming a protective bubble around the Earth’s atmosphere. The Van Allen radiation belts are zones where charged particles streaming from the sun get stuck in Earth’s magnetic field where the high energy protons and electrons can destroy a satellite’s electronics, which is a constant concern because the belts don’t always stay in one place. The conventional wisdom is that the inner edge of the outer belt kind of moves in and out as the atmosphere especially ionosphere and plasmasphere grows and shrinks, a space plasma physicist at MIT. The edge of where these very powerful radio signals stop is the same place where the electrons stop coming in. Nowadays, when electrons shooting out from a solar storm approach Earth, VLF waves deflect them, knocking them off their trajectory and pushing them into the atmosphere, where they get lost.

 <br>'''How Fast Is the World’s Fastest Human?'''
 <br>
-     <br>In 2009 Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt set the world record in the 100-meter sprint at 9.58 seconds. Speed is the rate at which an object that moves through time. It is represented mathematically as speed = d/t (in which d is distance and t is time). That means that Bolt’s speed during his world-record run was 10.44 meters per second. From a biomechanical perspective, the fastest sprinters are relatively short, and their muscles are loaded with fast-twitch fibers for rapid acceleration. The elite sprinter is a compact athlete, not a tall and lean one but Bolt's had literally head and shoulders above the other competitors, Bolt should be last off the blocks and last across the finish line. And yet he is the fastest man in the world.

		+	<br>'''What Makes a Species Endangered?'''
		+	<br>
		+	<br>Over 7,000 species around the world are considered endangered. The number doesn’t even include the plants, animals, and other life-forms that are listed by some scientists as vulnerable, critically endangered, or extinct in the wild—all rankings that mean a species is inching closer and closer to ill-fated extinction. An endangered species is one that meets any one of the following criteria of 50–70% population decrease over 10 years, a total geographic area less than 5,000 km2, a population size less than 2,500 adults, a restricted population of 250 adults, or a statistical prediction that it will go extinct within the next 20 years. Though the IUCN’s Red List covers a wide range of what qualifies as an endangered species, it doesn’t quite say how a species reaches those low points. Loss of habitat, the introduction of a foreign species into the environment, hunting, pollution, disease, and loss of genetic variation are all causes of species decline and most often are a result of human activities. The effect was positive, as bald eagles are on the rise and were taken off of the endangered species list in 1995.

 <br>'''Do Camels Store Water in Their Humps?'''
 <br>
-   <br> Camels also know as the "Ships of the desert" have long been known for their ability to go weeks at a time without needing to drink water-an ability that makes them particularly useful pack animals for people traveling across arid environments.  Camels are also known for their prominent humps, which leads many people to believe that these are used to store water for access at a later time. Camels' humps actually store fatty tissue, not water, which is used as a source of nourishment when food is scarce. The humps can deflate and droop if the camel has gone a particularly long time without food, but they will sit upright again once the camel is able to refuel. An important feature in the desert, where temperatures can be extremely high during the day and drop drastically at night, Camel's hump helps the animal to regulate its body temperature. Although the humps do not store water, camels are still incredibly efficient in the amount of water they use per day, which is why they are able to go nearly a week without drinking. Without its humps, a camel would be more likely to overheat and sweat-but it's still the oval-shaped blood cells that help the camel retain so much water, not the humps.

 <br>'''Hawaii's Erupting Volcano Is Making It Rain Green Gems'''
 <br>
-   <br> Hawaiian residents have been dealing with the fallout of an angry volcano ever since Kilauea began erupting, sometimes the mount spews hot fire, endangering citizens but right now, it's also spewing green crystals. These stones are known as olivine crystals which are common minerals found the world over, and seeing them in Hawaii is nothing out of the ordinary. The crystals are carried along with lava out of the volcano and into the sky which instantly cools in the air. When that happens, it turns into a rock known as pumice, the transformation is so sudden that gasses are trapped within the pumice and force their way out, leaving the rock lighter and full of holes. From these holes, olivine rains over the island. In Hawaiian history Kilauea has been an influential force, continually changing the nature of the island and Hawaiians wish it would take a break.

 <br> Dark Chocolate is Good for Your Brain; It Makes you Happy and Smarter
 <br>
      <br> Dark chocolate is not only good for your brain, but it also makes you happy. Dark chocolate promotes blood flow to the brain which contains flavonoids that promote blood flow to the brain which enhances memory, attention span, reaction time, and problem-solving skills. Dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants packed with antioxidants that fight free radicals. It also contains magnesium, which promotes relaxation and reduces stress by suppressing the release of the stress hormone cortisol. Particularly high-quality dark chocolate which is made out of organic cocoa beans helps to reduce junk food cravings of all kinds. The best dark chocolate always has cocoa listed as the first ingredient and must have at least 70 percent of cocoa so, you need to buy the one that is organic which has more high-quality, ethically sourced, and pesticide-free.
