Why do different animals have different lifespans ?
Have you heard the name of microscopic lab worm ‘C. Elegans’ ? This organism lives only for few short weeks. Bowhead whale, on the other hand, may live up to 200 years. Why are these lifespans so different? What does the term ‘Aging’ mean anyway? Let’s learn about these.

The flower garden
Pink, gold, blue, orange, they all whirl around me, enthralling me, demanding my undivided attention to their dazzling show. I tumble and move and sway and dive and land on the plush grass beneath me, solid, supportive, and squeeze my eyes shut. Vivid red spots dance before me as my chest heaves, gasping in the heady smell of earth.

Why We Should Consider Mangrove Forest?
Before the Jurassic Era, mangroves appeared on Earth. That is the beginning of the great epic Mangrove drama, which encircles the history of a vast species. It was only at the time of Spanish Colonization, this tree was dragged to the great sufferings. The Spanish cut down these trees by thinking these are wastelands and the worst fact is that they didn’t even try to plant any other trees or utilize these lands. But years later we realize the truth, that it was not a waste, but our savior. Mangroves, one of the fantastic ecosystems, have a crucial role in our biodiversity. What will happen in this scene of Mangrove Drama? Let us examine the factors and let us predict the future.

Land of Midnight sun
Midnight Sun is a natural phenomenon that occurs during the summer months in areas north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle, where the sun is always visible to local people after midnight. At higher altitudes (60 degrees north) the sun sets at a few degrees. Below the circle, as in northern Norway and Iceland, the sun appears to burn in the middle of the night after sunset.

Andes mountain
Garzone and Andrew Leier, associate professor of Earth and Ocean Sciences at the University of South Carolina, used new temperature recording techniques in two different studies of different Andean regions to determine whether rapid eruptions were normal, without mountain formation in the region. Garzone worked in the southern Altiplano and collected meteorological records that preserved ancient soils in low-lying areas near the sea, where temperatures remained warm throughout the region's history, and at higher altitudes, where they cooled as the range of mountains rose. He and Lyre have strong isotope evidence for many of the effects of this increase in Bolivia's central Andes, which focus on the binding behavior of carbon and oxygen isotopes in calcite minerals from rainwater, and their effects are similar.

Red sea
In the Gulf of Aden, biodiversity is among the highest in the world. Low-temperature variance in-depth (0.3 degrees with average annual temperature between shallow and mesophotic waters) (Eyal et al., 2019). Water exchanges between the South and North reduce genetic variation at the macro-ecological level.

Atlantic Ocean
Different boundaries were used to define the boundaries of the North and South Atlantic. Attempts to define open watersheds between the Atlantic and Arctic oceans are based on the unifying of latitude and direct transect, but the two most common areas are 65 degrees N (Arctic Circle) and 66 degrees. The southern boundary of the Atlantic Ocean is not very clear and the name is given to the waters around Antarctica as "Southern Ocean".

Beekeeping & Horticulture
Nature’s beauty is amazing! I love flowers & bees buzzing. Each joy seems to come with hazing. The love of bees let's not exploit. Our sense perception is adroit. Our toxic sting a last resort. We have advanced society. With guards' workers & royalty. Our food is packed with energy. Some men exploit us for money. Sometimes we’re starved of our honey. Us bees don’t think it's so funny! Our abundance we love to share. We love bee keepers who do care. The ways bees work is always fair. You cannot lie to a bright bee. It might surprise what we can see. These creatures are for you & me. We adapt to both heat & frost. Rebels bees do pay a steep cost. With small error not all is lost.

Aqua Energetics & Ocean Super Intelligence
People always seek energy. Pure waters restore clarity. We dread a water scarcity. Water is essential for life. High pressure jets feel like a knife. It cleans us & soothes us of our strife. Many problems water can solve. Memories of fears, tears, dissolve. For this our best we involve. We’ve run many experiments. We filter & assess contents. We still have much more we’ll invent. It’s an electric conductor, & the base of dis-infectors. Towards water we are respecters. We’ve got new hydro electrics, for river & wave kinetics. Some are from algae genetics. We daily discover new things. High vibe water does seem to sing! We know the blessing it can bring.
