It was four storeys tall, had a neck 10 times longer than a giraffe's and was possibly history's biggest vegetarian: meet Futalognkosaurus dukei, "chief of the lizards". Brazilian and Argentinian paleontologists yesterday said they had discovered a fossil of a new species of giant dinosaur which lived in what is now Patagonia, 80m years ago, during the late Cretaceous period.

A largely complete fossil of the herbivore shows it measured between 32 to 34 metres (105 to 112ft) from head to tail, and possessed an extraordinary neck which, at 17 metres, was a match for today's articulated bendy buses.

"It's a new species, a new group," an Argentinian paleontologist, Juan Porfiri, told a news conference in Rio de Janeiro. "Its neck was very big in diameter, strong and huge." Jorge Calvo, the director of the paleontology centre of the National University of Comahue, Argentina, said: "This is one of the biggest in the world and one of the most complete of these giants that exist."The fossil, which is believed to belong to a previously unknown species of Titanosaur, is 70% preserved.

The name Futalognkosaurus dukei was derived from the indigenous Mapuche language, meaning "giant chief of the lizards", and from the US company Duke Energy Corp, which funded much of the excavation in Argentina.

Dinosaur experts not involved in the discovery marvelled at the scale and said that what was found on the banks of Lake Barreales in the Argentine province of Neuquen did appear to represent a new species. The tail measures around 15 metres and the excavated spinal column alone weighs about eight tonnes.

Patagonia, a landscape of windswept plain which once was forested and humid, has yielded the other two largest dinosaur skeletons, Argentinosaurus, at around 35 metres long, and Puertasaurus reuili, between 35 and 40 metres long.

article : Sea scorpion fossil belonged to biggest bug ever: scientists

A giant fossilized claw discovered in Germany belonged to an ancient sea scorpion that was much bigger than the average man, an international team of geologists and archaeologists reported Tuesday.

A computer-generated image shows a size comparison between a human and an ancient sea scorpion.
(University of Bristol/Associated Press)

The 46-centimetre-long claw was discovered by report co-author Markus Poschmann, from Germany, in a quarry near Pruem, a city about 200 kilometres east of Frankfurt.

The researchers said the scorpion lived between 460 and 255 million years ago and would have been among the top predators in its environment, feeding on early vertebrates and smaller arthropods. The report said the creature likely only lived in the water because with the construction of its body, "it is hardly imaginable how such a huge arthropod could effectively walk on land."

In a report in the Royal Society's journal Biology Letters, the team said the claw indicates that sea scorpion Jaekelopterus rhenania was almost 2.5 metres long, making it the largest arthropod — an animal with a segmented body, jointed limbs and a hard exoskeleton — ever found. In the report, the authors said the scorpion exceeds previous size records for arthropods by almost half a metre.

The fossil, found in a 390-million-year-old rock, suggests that spiders, insects, crabs and similar creatures were much larger in the past than previously thought, the researchers said.

This claw belonged to a giant sea scorpion, estimated to be 2.5 metres long.

"This is an amazing discovery. We have known for some time that the fossil record yields monster millipedes, super-sized scorpions, colossal cockroaches, and jumbo dragonflies, but we never realized, until now, just how big some of these ancient creepy-crawlies were," said co-author Dr. Simon Braddy from the University of Bristol.

Some geologists believe that the giant arthropod evolved due to high oxygen levels, while others argue that they evolved in an "arms race" alongside their prey, the early armoured fish.

article : Fossil is new family of dinosaur

The specimen was left untouched for 113 years

A fossilised bone dug up near Hastings 113 years ago has been recognised as a completely new family of dinosaur.

The animal belongs to a general type of dinosaur called a sauropod - which was characterised by a large body, a long neck and a small head.

A PhD student from the University of Portsmouth stumbled upon the specimen while browsing through the shelves of London's Natural History Museum.

The work is to appear in the academic journal Palaeontology.

The fossil represents the dorsal vertebra (back bone) of a new family, genus and species of dinosaur now named Xenoposeidon proneneukus.

It lived about 140 million years ago, was about the size of an elephant and weighed 7.5 tonnes.

"It leapt out at me as being different," said Mike Taylor, a computer programmer who is studying sauropod vertebrae as part of his PhD at Portsmouth.

"It was unmistakably a dorsal vertebra from a sauropod, but it didn't look like any dorsal I'd ever seen before."

The bone has lain in the Natural History Museum since its discovery in the early 1890s in Ecclesbourne Glen, near Hastings, by fossil collector Philip James Rufford.

Odd one out

It was briefly described by the British palaeontologist Richard Lydekker but was then left untouched for the next 113 years.

Dr Paul Barrett, a researcher in palaeontology at the museum, said: "Dinosaur bones are being constantly reassessed and our collections still offer us lots of surprises."

Mr Taylor and fellow palaeontologist Dr Darren Naish know the preserved bone came from near the hip area of the dinosaur.

From this they made an informed guess about the size and shape of the animal and were able to establish why Xenoposeidon is not only a new genus and species, but probably a new family of dinosaur.

"The difference between this specimen and other sauropod vertebrae is sufficiently great that I concluded that it could not be placed in any existing species or genus," said Mr Taylor.

"In fact it can't be placed in any existing sauropod family."

article : Fossil Called Missing Link From Sea to Land Animals (2)

Published: April 6, 2006

One creationist site on the Web (emporium.turnpike.net/C/cs /evid1.htm) declares that "there are no transitional forms," adding: "For example, not a single fossil with part fins, part feet has been found. And this is true between every major plant and animal kind."

Dr. Novacek responded: "We've got Archaeopteryx, an early whale that lived on land, and now this animal showing the transition from fish to tetrapod. What more do we need from the fossil record to show that the creationists are flatly wrong?"

Duane T. Gish, a retired official of the Institute for Creation Research in San Diego, said, "This alleged transitional fish will have to be evaluated carefully." But he added that he still found evolution "questionable because paleontologists have yet to discover any transitional fossils between complex invertebrates and fish, and this destroys the whole evolutionary story."

Dr. Shubin and Dr. Daeschler began their search on Ellesmere Island in 1999. They were attracted by a map in a geology textbook showing an abundance of Devonian rocks exposed and relatively easy to explore. At that time, the land had a warm climate: it was part of a supercontinent straddling the Equator.

It was not until July 2004, Dr. Shubin said, that "we hit the jackpot." They found several of the fishes in a quarry, their skeletons largely intact and in three dimensions. The large skull had the sharp teeth of a predator. It was attached to a neck, which allowed the fish the unfishlike ability to swivel its head.

If the animal spent any time out of water, said Dr. Jenkins, of Harvard, it needed a true neck that allowed the head to move independently on the body.

Embedded in the pectoral fins were bones that compare to the upper arm, forearm and primitive parts of the hand of land-living animals. The joints of the fins appeared to be capable of functioning for movement on land, a case of a fish improvising with its evolved anatomy. In all likelihood, the scientists said, Tiktaalik flexed its proto-limbs mainly on the floor of streams and might have pulled itself up on the shore for brief stretches.

In their report, the scientists concluded that Tiktaalik was an intermediate between the fishes Eusthenopteron and Panderichthys, which lived 385 million years ago, and early tetrapods. The known early tetrapods are Acanthostega and Ichthyostega, about 365 million years ago.

Tiktaalik, Dr. Shubin said, is "both fish and tetrapod, which we sometimes call a fishapod."

article : Fossil Called Missing Link From Sea to Land Animals (1)

By JOHN NOBLE WILFORD

Published: April 6, 2006

Scientists have discovered fossils of a 375-million-year-old fish, a large scaly creature not seen before, that they say is a long-sought missing link in the evolution of some fishes from water to a life walking on four limbs on land.

In two reports today in the journal Nature, a team of scientists led by Neil H. Shubin of the University of Chicago say they have uncovered several well-preserved skeletons of the fossil fish in sediments of former streambeds in the Canadian Arctic, 600 miles from the North Pole.

The skeletons have the fins, scales and other attributes of a giant fish, four to nine feet long. But on closer examination, the scientists found telling anatomical traits of a transitional creature, a fish that is still a fish but has changes that anticipate the emergence of land animals — and is thus a predecessor of amphibians, reptiles and dinosaurs, mammals and eventually humans.

In the fishes' forward fins, the scientists found evidence of limbs in the making. There are the beginnings of digits, proto-wrists, elbows and shoulders. The fish also had a flat skull resembling a crocodile's, a neck, ribs and other parts that were similar to four-legged land animals known as tetrapods.

Other scientists said that in addition to confirming elements of a major transition in evolution, the fossils were a powerful rebuttal to religious creationists, who have long argued that the absence of such transitional creatures are a serious weakness in Darwin's theory.

The discovery team called the fossils the most compelling examples yet of an animal that was at the cusp of the fish-tetrapod transition. The fish has been named Tiktaalik roseae, at the suggestion of elders of Canada's Nunavut Territory. Tiktaalik (pronounced tic-TAH-lick) means "large shallow water fish."

"The origin of limbs," Dr. Shubin's team wrote, "probably involved the elaboration and proliferation of features already present in the fins of fish such as Tiktaalik."

In an interview, Dr. Shubin, an evolutionary biologist, let himself go. "It's a really amazing, remarkable intermediate fossil," he said. "It's like, holy cow."

Two other paleontologists, commenting on the find in a separate article in the journal, said that a few other transitional fish had been previously discovered from approximately the same Late Devonian time period, 385 million to 359 million years ago. But Tiktaalik is so clearly an intermediate "link between fishes and land vertebrates," they said, that it "might in time become as much an evolutionary icon as the proto-bird Archaeopteryx," which bridged the gap between reptiles (probably dinosaurs) and today's birds.

The writers, Erik Ahlberg of Uppsala University in Sweden and Jennifer A. Clack of the University of Cambridge in England, are often viewed as rivals to Dr. Shubin's team in the search for intermediate species in the evolution from fish to the first animals to colonize land.

H. Richard Lane, director of paleobiology at the National Science Foundation, said in a statement, "These exciting discoveries are providing fossil 'Rosetta Stones' for a deeper understanding of this evolutionary milestone — fish to land-roaming tetrapods."

The science foundation and the National Geographic Society were among the financial supporters of the research. Besides Dr. Shubin, the principal discoverers were Edward B. Daeschler of the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia and Farish A. Jenkins Jr., a Harvard evolutionary biologist. Casts of the fossils will be on view at the Science Museum of London.

Michael J. Novacek, a paleontologist at the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan, who was not involved in the research, said: "Based on what we already know, we have a very strong reason to think tetrapods evolved from lineages of fishes. This may be a critical phase in that transition that we haven't had before. A good fossil cuts through a lot of scientific argument."

Dr. Shubin's team played down the fossil's significance in the raging debate over Darwinian theory, which is opposed mainly by some conservative Christians in this country, but other scientists were not so reticent. They said this should undercut the argument that there is no evidence in the fossil record of one kind of creature becoming another kind.

article : Ancient ancestor reveals skeletal stamina - new fossil found in South Africa - Brief Article

Science News, Dec 19, 1998 by B. Bower

A new fossil find in South Africa represents the most complete skeleton to date attributed to the australopithecines, an extinct line of two-legged, small-brained creatures who were early members of the human evolutionary family.

Anthropologists last week announced their discovery of the largely intact skull and lower body, which they found in an underground cave. A brief description of the skeleton appears in the Dec. 10 NATURE. The October SOUTH AFRICAN JOURNAL OF SCIENCE contains a more detailed account by Ronald J. Clarke of the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg.

Clarke supervised two colleagues who found the australopithecine specimen after descending about 45 feet into the Silberberg Grotto of the Sterkfontein caves. Prior excavations elsewhere at Sterkfontein yielded fragmentary remains of Australopithecus africanus, a human ancestor of uncertain evolutionary status dating approximately to between 3.2 million and 2.4 million years ago.

"This is a remarkable find," says Witwatersrand's Phillip V. Tobias, who directs all Sterkfontein excavations. "We don't know its species or sex yet, but it looks like an adult australopithecine."

Clarke found foot bones from the skeleton while working at Silberberg Grotto in 1994. He discovered more parts of the same foot stored in boxes from prior excavations there (SN: 7/29/95, p. 71).

Clarke then organized another exploration of the site. Investigators identified many of the individual fossil's limb, hip, and back bones, as well as a nearly complete skull, protruding from limestone in the cave. The skull's jaws bear full sets of teeth.

It will take at least a year to remove the entire skeleton from its rocky resting place, Clarke says. He plans to examine the limb joints to test the theory--so far, based only on the foot bones--that this creature combined upright walking with considerable tree climbing.

Analyses of magnetic properties of limestone, taken from below and above the fossil, place it between 3.2 million and 3.6 million years old.

Until now, the most complete australopithecine skeleton was that of Lucy, a 3.2-million-year-old find assigned to Australopithecus afarensis.

"This new skeleton contains important information about the size and shape of the australopithecine body that's been hard to come by," remarks anthropologist Bernard Wood of George Washington University in Washington, D.C.

Wood suspects that the specimen belongs to A. africanus, which in his view lessens its potential for generating evolutionary insights. Lower-body remains from at least one other australopithecine species at Sterkfontein from the same time, he asserts, would allow for the identification of species-specific limb features.

article : What is some evidence for proof of evolution?

In his pivotal opus Origin of Species (1859) Darwin presented various evidences for proof of evolution. Among these he sited domestic breeding, anatomical similarities among species (“homology”), the sequential order of fossils, the presence of “vestigial” organs, and the natural phenomenon which he dubbed “natural selection.”

In the century-and-a-half since Darwin published his work, advances in science have made some of these various evidences for evolution dubious. For example, in Darwin’s day it was believed that there were dozens of vestigial organs in the human body. Estimates have ranged from 80 to 200. Scientists at the time did not know what purpose these organs served so they assumed that they were useless vestiges from our evolutionary past. One-hundred fifty years later, only a handful of so-called vestigial organs remain. Scientists have discovered biological functions for the rest. Moreover, critics of Darwin’s theory point out that if vestigial organs are truly useless, the progression is towards a loss of function, not new function. Darwinian evolution requires biological innovation.

Advances in genetics have also shown new light upon the dynamics of homology (anatomical similarities among species) and domestic breeding (the ability of breeders to produce dramatic changes in domestic animal populations by selecting individuals to breed, thereby suppressing and emphasizing traits gradually over time). It is now known that structural similarities do not necessary equal genetic relationship and there appear to be genetic limits to the potential for biological change. A bird can adapt to its environment to a certain degree but it is doubtful that it could cross genetic boundaries to evolve into a reptile, for example.

Advocates for Darwinian evolution believe that genetics have provided a new mechanism for biological innovation in the form of genetic mutation. The incorporation of genetics into Darwinian evolution has produced what is now known as the Neo-Darwinian Synthesis. Nevertheless, the debate rages on whether or not mutations simply destroy existing genetic structure or whether they can provide new genetic information, which Darwinian evolution requires. While Darwinian evolution remains the dominant biological paradigm, there is a growing minority of scientists who “are skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation and natural selection to account for the complexity of life. Careful examination of the evidence for Darwinian theory should be encouraged.” (From A Scientific Dissent From Darwinism, signed by over 680 Ph.D. scientists.)

article : How To Get A Healthy Penis by Warren Peterson

When you keep your penis healthy and your body as well, you get far greater erection strength, penis size volume and sexual stamina. This leads to greater sexual satisfaction when making love.

A healthy body in general gives you more self confidence, endurance and a general feeling of well being. Your penis is naturally part of your body and when you start treating your body with respect by maintaining or starting a healthy lifestyle, your penis will reap the benefits too.

When men age, their levels of the male hormone, testosterone, gradually diminish starting at age 30 and then continuing to do so at a rate of 10 percent every 10 years.

Testosterone is a hormone that helps maintain sex drive, sperm production, pubic and body hair, muscle, and bone. So the consequences of a lower testosterone slowly show as a man starts to age.

In general, men who start to experience Hair loss, Bone loss, Sweating and flushing, irritability, Fatigue, Loss of physical agility, Increased fat, Aches and pains, Sleeping problems, Depression, Decreased sexual drive and performance may be suffering from lower testosterone levels.

So, when trying to maintain a healthy and vigorous penis should start to consider the following health and lifestyle options:

Stop smoking. Smoking constricts blood vessels and leads to a build of plaque in the arteries that supply blood to the penis. This results in diminished erectile function, shrinkage of the penis, and impotence later in life.

Avoid liquor and drugs. Alcohol and narcotics puts you in great risk of impotence or erectile dysfunction.

Start a healthy, well-balanced diet. To ensure normal erectile function, you need to keep the continuous flow of blood to the penis by taking care of the arteries that supply it. Consume a high fiber diet, low in saturated fats and you can be sure to prevent or reduce the build up of fatty deposits that narrow and clog arteries. Stay away from animal fats, sugar, fried or junk foods.

Begin an Exercise program. Exercising is good for your overall health. Try brisk walking, running, cycling, or swimming for at least 30 minutes a day, three times a week.

Take supplements. Certain vitamins and minerals are good for maintaining general penile health, such as Vitamin A, Vitamin B complex, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Chromium, Zinc, and L-arginine. While certain herbs such as Ginkgo biloba, Ginseng, Damania, Sarsaparilla, Wild yam, Saw palmetto, Dong quai, Gotu kola, Hydrangea root, and Pygeum, are known to be particularly helpful for weak erections or impotence.

Use your penis. Maintain a healthy penis and prostate circulation by having regular erections and ejaculations. Thus either have regular sex (it’s good for you apart from being fun) and if you are single, masturbate.

You too can have a healthy penis if you start giving yourself the gift of a healthy lifestyle.

article : Body Language Signs: Mirroring a Powerful Flirting Tool by Steve Hedger

Body language signs that someone is attracted to you is a great feeling. Imagine secretly knowing their intentions is an empowering feeling. Here is another tip that's crucial so enjoy and have fun. Remember you can have all my tips delivered direct to your email each week so sign up to the news letter today and get more secrets that will attract others to you!

Reading someone's body language can give you a lot of information about how they are feeling about you. When you are in a relationship or on a date then this can be critical to know what is really going on in their minds. The art of reading body language is about piecing together a combination of actions that will tell you what someone is experiencing about you; what you are doing and what you are saying. This is another example in my series.

Mirroring is one of the most powerful and persuasive body language tools we all have. People who are really interested in each other do it without thinking. If you really like someone and you're not sure how they feel about you then you can use this method to your advantage. Mirroring is simple. It's just as it sounds, but what is key, is to put all the pieces together. So what are the elements? The eyes are like a firework display if you know what to look for. If you have read my first article then you will know the first thing to look for in someone's eyes.

The next thing to learn about eyes is the eyebrows; they are a clear indication of interest! Watch how they rise and fall during a conversation the more this happens the more interested they are. It's quite entertaining to watch couples that have just met. Watch their eyebrows move up and down, what is entertaining is the speed its like a crazy eyebrow dance!

So what can you do with this? Firstly, if your date is doing this you know they are interested. Secondly if you do it (don't go mad) then the raising of eyebrows indicates interest. We all love someone interested in us so give it a try! I am not going to labour the obvious too much but smile and maintain eye contact, the reverse will make you look miserable and shifty, and the last thing you want!

Back to mirroring. The next thing to mirror is the speed in which you talk. You will notice when you are with your friends that you probably speak at the same speed and that is why you are all in rapport. When you're with a date slow or speed up your speech. Speaking at different speed is uncomfortable, test it with your friends, and then test it with your dates.

Sales people use speech speed a lot. They will usually speed up and distort their voice when it comes to giving you the price of a product. They know that this technique has a good chance of removing that piece of information from your mind so you miss the price and focus on the product features and benefits.

So get in rapport by mirroring their speech. The other thing to notice with speech is that when men and women are attracted to each other their voices change without them knowing. A mans voice will lower and a woman's voice will become higher. What these two people are trying to create without realising is the differences between the sexes. It is the differences that make them more attractive to the opposite sex. We have now covered the face and some techniques to look out for and try.

article : Eye Body Language! What's Really on Their Mind? by Steve Hedger

Eye body language can help you know if your date is really attracted to you.The eye body language secret I have listed below is one of my favorites, so next time you're out, lets see who is attracted to you.

You can also use these tips to make yourself more attractive to the opposite sex. So let's get going, have fun and enjoy!

When you really fancy the pants off someone you just met, it is an amazing feeling. But unless you know if the feelings are reciprocated then this is also very frustrating.

You just want to know. So do you fancy me or not? But you just can't ask that! Well...you can ask what you want, but that is not a question that will help either of you. Your answers are right there in front of you. People give off unspoken signals constantly and when you are on a date it is like a firework display. But only if you know what to look for! In this first tip we are going to look at attraction through body language eye contact.

The eye contact body language gives the game away.

Lets start with some little known signals. The eyes are a big give-a-way. What you're after is a combination of body language and eye contact. We will come onto more body language secrets later in this series, but for now we will focus on the eyes. Most of us have heard that dilated pupils mean attraction and this is true, but this can be confused by low lighting that can also affect our eyes this way. A sure fire way to notice attraction is to look for glassy eyes. When someone is aroused by another their body creates moisture in the genital region, what you may not know is, this moisture also builds up in the eyes, giving a glassy appearance. If you get this, yes they are very attracted to you.

You next observation will be to watch the movement of the eyes. Watch how their eyes move around your face. Notice how they move when you first meet and check what happens as the date progresses. What you are looking for is a triangular eye movement, that will go from one eye to a body part and back to the other eye. This eye body language will tell you alot about your dates intentions.

Eye body language explained:

Eye to nose to eye - This is a social eye pattern and if this is what you get, then it looks like your just friends. However, still watch to see if this changes into a different pattern as the date progresses.

Eye to mouth to eye -This means there is more attraction as the mouth is a sexual area.

article : The Advantages Of Engaging In Penis Exercises by Temitayo Olatunde

If you do a search on penis enlargement on the Internet today, you would discover that the most popular method of increasing one’s penis size is the use of penis exercises. The main idea behind penis enlargement exercises is that by massaging your penis with your hands you force more blood into your penis tissues, which stretch and expand your penis tissues. Engaging in these penis exercises for a period of time would give you a longer and thicker penis.

A basic understand of your penis would enable you to fully understand how penis enlargement exercises work in causing penis growth. Your penis is divided into 3 main chambers. The 2 large chambers located on the top is called the Corpora Cavernosa, while the smaller chamber located at the bottom is known as the Corpus Spongisum. When you achieve an erection, these chambers become filled with blood and expands to it fullest size. The large chambers (Corpora Cavernosa) are the main blood holding chamber of the penis and is responsible for 90% of the size of the erect penis size. While the Corpus Spongisum is the chamber you use for ejaculation and urination.

Since the Corpora Cavernosa is already filled to capacity during an erection, you might wonder how then can you increase your penis size. In comes the "wonder" of penis exercises. These special and dedicated exercises were designed to increase the size of your Corpora Cavernosa, thereby causing penis growth and development. Engaging in penis enlargement exercises for a period of time would improve an increase the size of your Corpora Cavernosa.

You would experience harder and thicker erections as one of the benefits of engaging in penis exercises after a few weeks. This is because of the improved blood circulation around your genitals and the increase in the amount of blood entering into your penis. Also your flaccid penis size increases because your penis tissues, which are stretched and expanded while engaging in penile enlargement exercises, grow to larger sizes as you keep doing these exercises.

If you engage in penis exercises, you can expect at least half an inch in your erect penis length and a quarter of an inch increase in your erect penis girth after 3 â€" 4 weeks. After this period you would have increased and enhanced the function of your "PC muscles". These muscles are used for controlling your ejaculations. And gaining control over these muscles is the first step in improving and increasing your sexual stamina (preventing quick ejaculation).

As you continue engaging in penis enlargement exercises regularly for about 3 â€" 6 months, you would definitely see an increase in the size of your erect penis length by about 2 â€" 3 inches and 1 â€" 2 inches in your erect penis girth. The key to getting these amounts of penis growth is staying focused and "sticking" to your penis exercise routines.

Some of the few advantages of engaging in penis enlargement exercises are included below:

• Larger head size
• Improvement in urinary flow
• Stronger erections
• Improved sexual stamina
• Explosive orgasms

One complaint that some men have about penis enlargement exercises is that it takes quite some time for them to reach their desired penis size. You can solve this little problem by combining your penile enlargement exercise program with a quality herbal penis enlargement pill. The herbal penis enlargement pills improve blood flow to the penis, heal worn-out penis tissues and also cause penis growth. The combination of penis exercises and herbal penis enlargement pills is what I used in ensuring that I achieved the maximum gains possible while I was engaging in penile exercises. Definitely If I could Increase my erect penis length by 2 inches and erect penis girth by 1.5 inches then you can!

Like I said engaging penis enlargement exercises works, but to avoid being anxious for results I would advise you combine your penile enlargement exercise program with a quality herbal penis enlargement pill. Always make sure you use only quality penis enlargement products to avoid endangering your health.

article : 3 Reasons Why Penis Enlargement As An Endurance Test by aiy yusuf

Rome never was build a day...and miracles never happen over night...It takes time and patience to do something good in your life. Penis enlargement is not an exception.

Many men take the penis enlargement program without a very good idea of what is necessary in terms of persistence and personal effort and then leave when they realize that the gains come at fixed rate of the body, and not that they would like to see. This is usually the point where many leave the program penis enlargement.

That is why penis enlargement can be considered as an endurance test for any man. There are three basic points you should to know when you decide to use this program:

Few Interruptions

The basic idea is to stick to the program, with as few interruptions as possible, until you are satisfied with the results. It does not matter if you use the penis enlargement exercises or a traction device, because the persistence and determination is needed in both cases only go through the motions every time. It is true, however, that men who choose traction devices have an easier time on the program because all they have to do is strap on the device and let it do its job.

Efforts and Patience

The penis enlargement can get tedious over time and it's done. How long can you make a routine before starting to get bored? Even the fact that you are doing for your own good not too in the long term. It is up to you to find ways to motivate you in the long run because you know better what makes you tick. Again, users of traction devices are likely to do better, because they can do anything carrying the camera: watching television or doing work. The men who went for years may try to stay motivated by frequent changes in the supply of pornographic magazines used to achieve an erection during training sessions.

Focus and Motivations

But endurance tests are intended to be won. The most important thing is to stay focused and motivated, even if the whole thing takes weeks or months to do so. Even if the road seems long and the gains do not seem to come as soon as you want, there is no reason to despair and quit the program, because you will achieve your goals in the end.

It might take you a week or two beyond what you thought, but not much in the end. The objective always made the effort worthwhile, it is better to simply focus on all the good things you can do once the program is completed.

article : What Are Different Forms of Penis Enlargement Methods? by Rachel Smith

Did you know that There are only a few methods for penis enlargement. Some of them are dangerous, some of them are not effective and some are not effective . So Here are some tips that you can check on different types of penis enlargement methods :

1. Vacuum Pumps : Not effective as they only use sealing the penis in an airtight tube and then removing the surrounding air. The problems is once the negative pressure pulls the blood into the penis and inflates it . Once you remove it , the penis wants to revert back to its normal size. You can staunch the outflow of blood and lymphatic fluid by fitting a constriction ring around the base of your penis. This generally allows the penis to maintain its expanded girth for a few minutes, sufficient for insertion and at least one change of position before you have to pump it up again.

2.Pills, Patches, Lotions, Oils, Creams �" Not Effective as what they promote because many are contain vitamins, minerals, herbs or hormones such as testosterone that claim to enlarge the penis. None of these products has been shown to be effective. Worst case scenario: you can suffer from an allergic reaction to vitamins or you can overdose. In both cases, call the nearest Poison Control Center, show them the bottle and be very specific on the amount of substance you have ingested or rubbed into your skin.

3. Surgery �" Works but very highly cost and risky and if you’ll ever go to a medical doctor for advice, surgery is the first and the last thing you’ll hear about. Some surgeons have developed several different enlargement techniques, none of them endorsed by medical organizations. The American Urological Association, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons(ASPS) have all issued policy statements against cosmetic surgical procedures to enhance the penis.

4.Penis Exercises �" They are effective in some ways but it usually will take quite some time to show results! Penis exercises are a very inexpensive, safe and effective way to enlarge your penis. It is very possible that this method has been used for hundreds or thousand of years for penis enlargement, but no real research has been attempted to shed light on this subject.

Penis exercises work brilliantly and they come with the added bonus of giving you a lot more than a longer, thicker penis: you will also get to understand your body and its reactions better, which will greatly enhance your sex life.

5. Penis Devices and Jelqing Devices �" They are a way of taking the guess work out of penis exercises! They are a lot more expensive than just an exercise program membership, but they do have better results.Traction devices and jelqing devices are the deluxe version of penis exercises. By applying the same controlled force and pressure each time you exercises, you will get faster results. If you know you need to see something happening to motivate you to continue, than this is what you need.

article : Why It Is Vital To Create Appetizers For Your Family? by Muna Wa Wanjiru

When people talk of appetizers, they usually relate them to parties and other social events. Appetizers are definitely used for such occasions but they could also be used every day. Everyone has had to search for a sweet taste and something that always flatters them. In our daily lives we sometimes get bored by looking at the same mundane food even if the food is good. Therefore, there was need to come up with something to kick start our appetite and make us look forward for the next dish on the menu. Something little sweet and delicious will make one pant and however horrible the food after is, our minds are set to enjoy. This last statement may be controversial but, the idea is, a little taste of something great will send a mental signal that one needs to fill his or her stomach regardless of which taste.

It is therefore very vital to create the best appetizers to feed everybody's taste. Women and men are known for their love of soup, sometimes taking it too far. Making an appetizer that has a refreshing base will get everyone in the mood for. People constantly search for recipes for their next impressive milestones in the culinary prowess of making appetizers but, a top chef has suggested that if a cook knows his way around tastes it is all in the experimentation. Most likely, by doing so one is bound to create unique appetizers. The idea of an appetizer is to please not just a handful of people but as many people as one can.

Ideas for appetizers are as many as one can imagine but, most popular foods used to make appetizers include cheese, bacon, avocado, tuna, artichokes... the list is endless. One thing that works really well is a dash of lemon juice added to the appetizer. Lemon or orange zest also works really well, creating a fresh feel for taste and some room for more. Something very crispy and not so mouthy is a worthy try. People sometimes use a fruit to start their feeding routine. This is not unusual and fruits do not only belong to the pudding table but also on the appetizer plate. A good example is an avocado-based appetizer. So as not to confuse your guests or family, a fruit should only serve the purposes of complimenting an appetizer.

It is wise to have some knowledge about appetizers not only for your guests but also for your family. It has been shown that some of the great hosts have families that feed poorly due to lack of appetite. It is key to consider first, impressing your family and creating for them healthy feeding habits rather than impressing the world, which is quite impossible to do. It only takes a well equipped mind, a broad imagination and some time to create an appetizer that will have people asking for more. One of the greatest and rewarding experience is creating something that will enhance the mood of the people and in turn contribute to their overall better health.

article : Neurology

Neurology is a medical specialty dealing with disorders of the nervous system. Specifically, it deals with the diagnosis and treatment of all categories of disease involving the central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous systems, including their coverings, blood vessels, and all effector tissue, such as muscle.^[1] Physicians who specialize in neurology are called neurologists, and are trained to investigate, or diagnose and treat, neurological disorders. Pediatric neurologists treat neurological disease in children. Neurologists may also be involved in clinical research, clinical trials, as well as basic research and translational research. In the United Kingdom, contributions to the field of Neurology stem from various professions; saliently, several biomedical research scientists are choosing to specialize in the technical/laboratory aspects of one of neurology's subdisciplines.

Field of work

Neurological disorders are disorders that can affect the feet central nervous system (brain and spinal cord), the peripheral nervous system, or the autonomic nervous system.

Major conditions include:

• behavioral/cognitive syndromes
• headache disorders such as migraine, cluster headache and tension headache
• seizure disorders
• neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease).
• cerebrovascular disease, such as transient ischemic attack and stroke.
• sleep disorders
• cerebral palsy
• infections of the brain (encephalitis), brain meninges (meningitis), spinal cord (myelitis)
• infections of the peripheral nervous system
• neoplasms – tumors of the brain and its meninges (brain tumors), spinal cord tumors, tumors of the peripheral nerves (neuroma)
• movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, hemiballismus, tic disorder, and Gilles de la Tourette syndrome
• demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system, such as multiple sclerosis, and of the peripheral nervous system, such as Guillain-Barré syndrome and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP)
• spinal cord disorders – tumors, infections, trauma, malformations (e.g., myelocele, meningomyelocele, tethered cord)
• disorders of peripheral nerves, muscle (myopathy) and neuromuscular junctions
• exciting injuries to the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves
• altered mental higher status, encephalopathy, stupor and coma
• speech and language disorders

Educational requirements

A neurologist's educational background and medical training varies with the country of training. In the United States and Canada, neurologists are physicians who have completed postgraduate training in neurology after graduation from medical school.

Neurologists complete a minimum of 10 years of postsecondary education and clinical training. In the majority of cases this training includes obtaining an undergraduate degree (a few medical schools will admit students with as little as two years of undergraduate education), a medical degree (4 years), and then completing a four-year residency in neurology. The four-year residency consists of one year of internal medicine training followed by three years of training in neurology.

Many neurologists also have additional subspecialty training (fellowships) after completing their residency in one area of neurology such as stroke, epilepsy, neuromuscular, sleep medicine, pain management, neuroimmunology, clinical neurophysiology, or movement disorders.

Testing examinations

During a neurological examination, the neurologist reviews the patient's health history with special attention to the current condition. The patient then takes a neurological exam. Typically, the exam tests mental status, function of the cranial nerves (including vision), strength, coordination, reflexes and sensation. This information helps the neurologist determine if the problem exists in the nervous system and the clinical localization. Localization of the pathology is the key process by which neurologists develop their differential diagnosis. Further tests may be needed to confirm a diagnosis and ultimately guide therapy and appropriate management. To become a neurologist it will take a total of about 8 to 10 years of school

Clinical tasks

General caseload

Neurologists are responsible for the diagnosis, treatment, and management of all the above conditions. When surgical intervention is required, the neurologist may refer the patient to a neurosurgeon, an interventional neuroradiologist, or a neurointerventionalist. In some countries, additional legal responsibilities of a neurologist may include making a finding of brain death when it is suspected that a patient is deceased. Neurologists frequently care for people with hereditary (genetic) diseases when the major manifestations are neurological, as is frequently the case. Lumbar punctures are frequently performed by neurologists. Some neurologists may develop an interest in particular subfields, such as dementia, movement disorders, headaches, epilepsy, sleep disorders, chronic pain management, multiple sclerosis or neuromuscular diseases.

Overlapping areas

There is some overlap with other specialties, varying from country to country and even within a local geographic area. Acute head trauma is most often treated by neurosurgeons, whereas sequela of head trauma may be treated by neurologists or specialists in rehabilitation medicine. Although stroke cases have been traditionally managed by internal medicine or hospitalists, the emergence of vascular neurology and endovascular neurosurgery as disciplines has created a demand for stroke specialists. The establishment of JCAHO stroke centers has increased the role of neurologists in stroke care in many primary as well as tertiary hospitals. Some cases of nervous system infectious diseases are treated by infectious disease specialists. Most cases of headache are diagnosed and treated primarily by general practitioners, at least the less severe cases. Similarly, most cases of sciatica and other mechanical radiculopathies are treated by general practitioners, though they may be referred to neurologists or a surgeon (neurosurgeons or orthopedic surgeons). Sleep disorders are also treated by pulmonologists. Cerebral palsy is initially treated by pediatricians, but care may be transferred to an adult neurologist after the patient reaches a certain age.

Clinical neuropsychologists are often called upon to evaluate brain-behavior relationships for the purpose of assisting with differential diagnosis, planning rehabilitation strategies, documenting cognitive strengths and weaknesses, and measuring change over time (e.g., for identifying abnormal aging or tracking the progression of a dementia).

Relationship to clinical neurophysiology

In some countries, e.g. USA and Germany, neurologists may specialize in clinical neurophysiology, the field responsible for EEG, nerve conduction studies, EMG and evoked potentials. In other countries, this is an autonomous specialty (e.g. United Kingdom, Sweden).

Overlap with psychiatry

Further information: Psychoneuroimmunology and Neuropsychiatry

Although many mental illnesses are believed to be neurological disorders affecting the central nervous system, traditionally they are classified separately, and treated by psychiatrists. In a 2002 review article in the American Journal of Psychiatry, Professor Joseph B. Martin, Dean of Harvard Medical School and a neurologist by training, wrote that 'the separation of the two categories is arbitrary, often influenced by beliefs rather than proven scientific observations. And the fact that the brain and mind are one makes the separation artificial anyway.' (Martin JB. The integration of neurology, psychiatry and neuroscience in the 21st century. Am J Psychiatry 2002; 159:695-704)

There are strong indications that neuro-chemical mechanisms play an important role in the development of, for instance, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. As well, 'neurological' diseases often have 'psychiatric' manifestations, such as post-stroke depression, depression and dementia associated with Parkinson's disease, mood and cognitive dysfunctions in Alzheimer's disease, to name a few. Hence, there is no sharp distinction between neurology and psychiatry on a biological basis – this distinction has mainly practical reasons and strong historical roots (such as the dominance of Freud's psychoanalytic theory in psychiatric thinking in the first three quarters of the 20th century – which has since then been largely replaced by the focus on neurosciences – aided by the tremendous advances in genetics and neuroimaging recently.)

In Germany, a compulsory year of Psychiatry must be done to complete a residency of Neurology.
