The Vancouver Aquarium park board is holding an unusual meeting today – a meeting which may take place over a number of days. The topic; whether or not they should be allowed keep dolphins and whales in captivity under the Vancouver Aquarium’s care.

Over one hundred and thirty people have registered to speak on the issue – some for keeping the whales and dolphins in captivity and some against it. The fact that there are so many people registered to speak – they’ll have three minutes each – is why the meeting may take place over a couple of days.

Over the past while, the park board has been reviewing whether or not they should keep the animals, and, if they do keep the animals, if they should change regulations and practices relating to the care of them. The practice of keeping the animals at the Aquarium has drawn protests a number of times from people who are against keeping them, and demand an end to the practice.

Supporters for keeping the animals in the Aquarium have said that keeping them is an integral part of learning about both dolphins and whales, and that the majority of the ones kept in captivity were rescued, and some of them were injured before being taken in and healed.

The Aquarium is also of note for being the first sanctuary in the world that stopped capturing dolphins and whales – something which it did in 1996.

Many of the protestors have taken offense to the fact that many of the animals do tricks in front of the public for food, and a number of them have attended protests with signs that read “Captivity Kills”. They have also suggested that the dolphins and whales wish they were somewhere else, but supporters for the Aquarium have said that there is no such evidence to support that claim.

McLaren, the British Formula One racing team, is set to unveil its concept model for its newest car, the P1 GTR concept design. The new design will be shown off for the first time at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in California August 16.

The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance is considered to be one of the most competitive events in the auto industry, and this year, there will be approximately 200 of the rarest cars will be on show at the once a year event.

Since first opening its doors, McLaren has prized itself on its objective of creating the world’s best track-focused drivers’ car, and this new design is set to be no different.

McLaren only plans to build 375 of the P1 GTR models, and to ensure that the cars go to what seems to be the best possible person – or more likely, those most loyal to McLaren – as well as to ensure exclusivity, only owners of McLaren P1 models will be able to purchase the GTR version when McLaren starts production in 2015.

The car is billed as being “track focused”, and as such does not need to meet road car regulations. McLaren have said that, to ensure the car is as good as possible, they have focused on “aggressive aerodynamics and styling, a widened track and slick tires” when designing the car. They car is also purported to have a mid-mounted engine, and, according to reports, McLaren are intending to have the engine give a power output of 1,000 PS.

The debut of the car will take place at the McLaren Brand Centre at the 18th Fairway at the Pebble Beach Lodge, on August 16 for exclusive viewers, and a public viewing will be taking place on the following day.

McLaren are intending to sell the car for $3,360,384.

 

Current theories of water levels on what are called Jupiter-Class planets may have taken a big hit with some recent discoveries. These theories suggest that a certain amount of water is needed in order for a planet to form.

The results of some recent examinations on these so called Jupiter-Class planets – i.e, planets that are somewhat similar to Jupiter – has shown that the heat of these planets is unexpectedly dry, a lot drier than experts have previously predicted.

The size and heat levels of these planets make it fairly easy for astronomers to examine the water levels – as well as other data – on these Jupiter-Class planets, which means that astronomers are currently working on several examinations of these planets, similar to one that examined the planets’ water levels.

Due to the fact that these planets are suffering from a dry heat, water levels are much less than planet formation theories have predicted. If the abundances are substantially less than theories predict, as a growing body of evidence suggests for some of these planetary systems, fully characterizing the atmospheres of these planets would warrant a newer, and better, telescopes that are much more sophisticated than the ones we currently have, as well as telescopes that are currently in development.

The examinations of the three Jupiter-Class planets showed water concentrations well below solar abundances – something which previous theories have relied on. The measurements were only 1 percent of solar abundance for one of the planets examined, while another planet had .7 percent of solar abundance. However, these measure weren’t extremely precise, which means that the reality may be closer to what the theories have previously predicted.

Nikku Madhusudhan, who led the team that made these observations,  has said that him and his team “are working on several scenarios of planet formation that can make hot Jupiters close to their stars that explains the low abundance that we see.”

Google is currently planning to map Ellis Island, as well as Liberty Island, in a move which sees Google mapping areas which previously did not have detailed mapping. According to reports, Google plans to get a full 360-degree rotational view of Ellis and Liberty Islands as well as a 3D map of the area.

Using a device called the Trekker, they will be compiling the data and getting the proper images for use on Google Maps. Google uses a variety of other tools in relation to collecting data for Google Maps, some of which collect and gather information from places typically only navigable by foot.

As Google have said several times before, the Trekker is a device can be strapped to a backpack and used while navigating a territory. The Trekker then stores the data it gathers for use later on in compiling Google maps, as well as Google images.

According to recent reports, as well as Google itself, it will take a number months before the mapping data will be live on Google Maps, as Google still need to map the areas, as well as analyse and compile all the necessary data to provide the images and maps.

Currently, most of New York’s land data has been available on Google Maps and Street View, and has been since about 2007. Most of this data has been in great detail, much like everywhere else that Google has maps for, both Ellis Island and Liberty Island and two areas where Google has so far not been able to map and release for the public’s use.

Liberty island has never been mapped before, because it is run by the National Park Service which had a vast amount of legal hoops for Google to jump through before they could start compiling data.

The mapping of the two islands began on Wednesday, July 23.

Google consented on drooping almost 50 percent of search result after the launch of legislation of “right to be forgotten” from European Union.

Google received almost 90,000 appeals to be forgotten from its search engine, immediately after this law has passed. The company has approved half of these requests and it has inquired more details from the rest of 50percent applications.

Consequently, Google eliminates 2,300 links par day which makes 16,500 every week. The company has also uploaded an online form for the removal of link which any one can fill effortlessly.

On the other hand, European Union is not yet satisfied with Google’s strategy of removal of links since the company is only throwing out links from European websites instead of the entire Google.com. People, who want to check out the details which have been removed by Google, can easily find it on Google.com.
European Union has asked Google to provide more details on the procedure they are following in order to get rid of these unwanted links. EU data protection experts are planning to provide some principles to the company which will be essential for Google to obey. This step has been taken due to the inadequate process of Google.

Previously, reports have shown that avian dinosaurs have feathers since they are from the breed of modern birds. The new turn in this research is that, all dinosaurs had feathers and this news is definitely confirmed through the fossils of dinosaurs found in Siberia known as ornithiscians

This discovery of fossilized features have changed the understanding of researchers regarding when and from where feathers grown. In Siberia, some researchers found out that these dinosaur was plant eaters.

These verdicts show that dinosaurs had feathers which they used for the purpose attracting mates and insulation. However, these functions are unverified. They lived approximately 175 and 145 million years ago in Siberia in the Jurassic era.

Pascal Godefroit, the study leader of the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, said that no doubt they had feathers but still they do not have a single characteristic common between birds and these dinosaurs. Furthermore, he described their appearance and stated that those dinosaurs were almost 5 feet in length with long legs and short arms.

According to Godefroit, this development in research of dinosaurs proved that not merely birds contain feathers but in early ages dinosaurs also have had them.

Paleontologists will be able to revisit one of North America’s troves which contains fossil from the Pleistocene era, for the first time in 30 years. The Natural Trap Cave in north central Wyoming is 85 feet deep and is positioned in such a way that it is almost impossible to see unless the observer is standing right next to it. The cave borrows its name from the tens of thousands of years of animals plunging to their deaths because of not having noticed the sink hole. The fossils therein include the now extinct mammoth, short faced bears, American lions and cheetahs. The opening of the sink hole is 15 feet wide.

natural-trap-cave-signNow the US Bureau of Land Management has decided to open a metal grate over the opening of the cave to let scientists explore the cave. Des Moines University paleontologist Julie Meachen said she is getting ready to lead the international team in to the cave by practicing climbing.

She admitted on Wednesday that she is quite frightened since she hasn’t done any real climbing and the only way out of the hole is an eight story single rope climb all the way back-up.

Breithaupt, who visited the cave when it was open for inspection the last time says that it is in fact a dangerous hole but one that holds great scientific value. He also explained that some mammal remains could be over a 100,000 years old.

One goal of exploring the hole is to learn more about the Pleistocene period and extinction, when drastic climate changes and the emergence of humans wiped out many species. Meachen suggests that the area surrounding the cave may have looked much like it does at the moment however it was probably colder and wetter.

The scientists will camp near the cave and venture into the cave more than once a day and somehow manage to get the fossils up in boxes. Meachen says she knows that it is going to be difficult but is confident that they will be well-prepared.
