Can you see the plane just below the clouds? Direct Hit on an A380 out of SeaTac. If you were in the South Puget Sound at about 4:45pm, this is what you heard. 3/27/24

The Onion Squid

They are shy creatures that will slip away in the mud when they see a human.

While mud may be the main habitat of the onion squid they still can travel or I should say crawl on land...

They do this so they can feast on the magical marsh mushrooms that grow around the muddy sanctuaries they call home.

The Onion Squid swims within its muddy domain like the common ocean squid would so they can quick slip under and logs or rocks to protect themselves from preditors.

However the Onion Squid is not completely helpless they can grab things with their tentacles and bite! They also have one other defensive capability...

They have onion spay they can squirt at you this onion spay makes the opponent tear up and cry. The Onion squid gives live birth to little tiny onion squids.

So what would you do if you see an onion squid? Well I wouldn't suggest picking it up.

The End

En Chile casas tan extremas como el paisaje . Cerca de Los Vilos el premio pritzker Alejandro Aravena teminó recientemente una casa de vacaciones compuesta por tres estructuras de hormigón apiladas y aparentemente apoyadas una contra otra en una colina con vista a la costa. Por otro lado, una torre de 18 metros sobre una colina: un rectángulo austero de concreto entre eucaliptos y pinos. la torre se cierne sobre la ladera boscosa. Con sus ángulos rectos y su geometría sólida, el edificio podría ser un granero o una torre de vigilancia. Estos proyectos son parte de iniciativas arquitectónicas innovadoras que están estableciendo una estética regional que alude al brutalismo y al mismo tiempo respeta la #topografía peculiar del país. vía NYTimes Michael Snyder fotografías Jason Schmidt

  $28,166: What It Costs To Provide Health Care For An American Family Of Four For One Year

    One of the primary reasons why the middle class in America is disappearing so rapidly is because of skyrocketing health care costs.  Families all over the country are being absolutely crushed by extremely high health insurance premiums,…

What Everyone Needs to Know Q&A:  To commemorate the completion of the Human Genome Project in April 2003, as well as the discovery of DNA's double helix in 1953, today, 25 April is National DNA day. It is now possible to decode entire DNA sequences, which provides a variety of information that has the potential to guide many aspects of life. As more and more scientific advancements are made, we want to know:

Can your genetic information be used against you?

In the United States, a relatively recent law called GINA, for Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, prevents discrim­ination on the basis of genetic information for health insurance and employment. This law has limitations, however, and does not protect individuals from discrimination based on their DNA sequence with regards to life and long- term disability insurance. Most other advanced countries have a minimum level of socialized health care and thus have guaranteed access to many basic services. In such countries, discrimination is less of a concern, at least from a financial perspective.

Whether genetic discrimination in health care, employment, or social arenas actually occurs in practice remains to be seen— the field is young and relatively few people have had genetic testing. We are not aware that any major acts of discrimination have occurred strictly based on genome sequence. It is possible, however, that people with high- risk alleles for certain diseases could be viewed and treated differently. For example, know­ing that someone is at risk for Alzheimer’s might cause people to assume that they are more forgetful, especially as they get older. Although such circumstances will likely arise, it is worth noting that (a) everyone is at risk for at least some diseases— the perfect genome does not exist; and (b) people provide their family histories as part of routine medical care, and this type of information is already available for use by insurance compa­nies. Thus, we could all be subjected to some discrimination. Unfortunately, personal discrimination presently occurs on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, etc. Perhaps DNA will be added to the list.
