The Biggest Non-Predatory Fish in the World

There are various sorts of fish on our planet, Earth. But the biggest fish in the world that is not a predator is without doubt the Whale Shark. Basically, picture "a shark the size of a whale." As its common name implies, its massive size will remind one that encounters it of whales. Do not worry if you encounter a Whale Shark because "although it may have 3000 sharply hooked teeth, they are only a few millimeters long." This massive whale-sized shark could easily swallow a diver even though "there is nothing to fear from that gigantic mouth because it is really just a big sucker." In other words it is a filter feeder that "feeds on plankton, krill, and macroalgae." While the Whale Shark feeds on the plankton and krill, "like a gigantic vacuum cleaner, it sucks up sea water and filters plankton from nearly a million liters of water every hour." At this rate, "That is more than enough to fill an Olympic sized swimming pool."  Considering it's graceful nature, an encounter with a Whale Shark will not be a nightmare, but a very special occasion.

Considering how the whale shark eats a lot of plankton and krill, "anything this big that eats that much is sure to attract a crowd." In other words, "the whale shark is like a huge floating reef providing shelter for many species of fish and the odd leftover from that massive maw." Despite the whale shark almost constantly having its mouth open, "it is incredibly thick skinned. It's 15 centimeter hide is one of the thickest skins of any living animal."

History of Pittsburgh Panthers football

The University of Pittsburgh Panthers were pretty good back when they had Antonio Bryant, Larod Howling, Lesean McCoy, and Larry Fitzgerald, and today, they are fine in college football. Today, they are led by coach Paul Chryst. They also play in Heinz Field (the same stadium home of the Pittsburgh Steelers in the NFL).

In 2002, the Pittsburgh Panthers under coach Walt Harris were a 9-4 record overall. This was back when Larry Fitzgerald was playing for Pitt. In 2003, the Pittsburgh Panthers were a 8-5 record overall under coach Walt Harris. In 2004, Pittsburgh was a 8-4 record overall under coach Harris. This is when Pitt had WR #81 Derek Kinder, RB#23 Tim Murphy, RB#2 Marcus Furman, WR#82 Kelvin Chandler, and QB Tyler Palko.

But, starting in 2008, Pittsburgh has been really been on their hot streak in good records. Back then, they were led by coach Dave Wannstdtedt. In 2008, Pitt was 9-4 overall. This was also the sophomore year of HB#25 Lesean McCoy, the senior year of HB#34 Larod Howling and WR#81 Derek Kinder. They also had QB Bill Stull. In 2009, Pitt was 10-3 overall. The following year, in 2010, Pitt was 8-5 overall and after the season, Dave Wannstedt left. In 2011, Pitt was 6-7 overall under Todd Graham. The following year in 2012, Pitt was 6-7 for a second straight year under first year coach Paul Chryst. In 2013, Pitt was 7-6 overall beating the BGSU falcons in the Little Caesars Bowl.

Sharing NFL Stadiums with College teams

Although some college football teams like the Michigan State Spartans, Nebraska Cornhuskers, Virginia Tech Hokies, Rutgers Scarlet Knights, Boston College Eagles, Texas Longhorns, UCLA Bruins, Arizona Wildcats, Oregon State Beavers, Oregon Ducks, and so on have their own stadiums to play at, other teams simply share the stadium with NFL teams. The precise teams consist of the Pittsburgh Panthers, Tulane Green Wave, Miami (FL) Hurricanes, South Florida Bulls, UMass Minutemen, Temple Owls, and San Diego State Aztecs. These teams most likely share the stadiums in an effort to save money. 

This relation does not only apply to NCAA and NFL teams though. For example, take Tropicana Field the host of the St. Petersburg bowl and also the home of the Tampa Bay Rays of the MLB. Also Back in the Day, the Cincinnati Bengals and Reds played in the same Riverfront Stadium. In 2014, the Cincinnati Bearcats play all of their home games at Paul Brown Stadium since Nippert Stadium is undergoing renovations due to be completed by 2015. 

Personally, I like the idea of sharing stadiums because if I were short on money, I would have to simply share a stadium with another team.

Nebraska Cornhuskers football at its peak (since 2008)

The Nebraska Cornhuskers football program has done rather well in 2002 (7-7), and 2003 (10-3), however, the Cornhuskers of Nebraska have really been at their best beginning in the year 2008 onwards under coach Bo Pelini.

In 2008, Bo Pelini made his coaching debut for the Nebraska Cornhuskers. In that year, he lead the Cornhuskers to a record of 9-4. In 2009, the cornhuskers did better than in 2008, as they went 10-3. In 2010, they were not as good as in 2009, since they were 10-4. But beginning in 2011 onwards, the Nebraska Cornhuskers would be in the Big Ten Conference. In 2011-their first season in the Big Ten Conference, the cornhuskers were 9-4. In 2012, they did better than in 2011, as they went 10-4. To this point, in 2013 the Cornhuskers of Nebraska were 9-4. It seems that the cornhuskers will still be at their peak in the here and now under coach Bo Pelini. However, after the 2014 season finale, Bo Pelini was fired and replaced by Mike Riley.

The True Largest Cephalopod in the World

Initially, the Giant Squid Architeuthis was assumed to be the largest cephalopod in the world. Strangely enough, it it not the largest. In 2007, off Antarctica's Ross Sea, fishermen hauled in a toothfish (similar in appearance to the Cod) with a huge piece missing and was bearing large serrated sucker marks. About three or so hooks further down the line, they unveiled perhaps the largest squid bycatch in history. This bycatch became later known as the Colossal Squid. In the past only pieces of the animal have been found (such as the hooked limbs used to restrain and grasp its slippery prey). It is easy to understand how the Colossal Squid got its name. It is believed that at full adult size, a Colossal Squid could be up to 40 feet long. Thus, it would be the largest squid in the world "in terms of mass." It lives in the waters surrounding Antarctica.

The Pinnacle of Michigan State Spartans Football (since 2007)

While the Michigan State Spartans football team has been pretty good when they had WR Plaxico Burress, WR Derrick Mason, WR Andre Rison, QB Tony Banks, and Kicker Paul Edinger, but beginning in the year 2007, under head coach Mark Dantonio, the Spartans of Michigan State have really been at their best in college football.

In the year 2007, Mark Dantonio made his debut as the head coach for the Michigan State Spartans football team. That year, the Spartans of Michigan State were 7-6. In 2008, the Spartans were 9-4 after losing to the Georgia Bulldogs in the Capital one Bowl. In 2009, they were 6-7 after the Alamo bowl loss to the Texas Tech Red Raiders. In 2010, the Spartans were 11-2 after the loss to the Alabama Crimson tide in the capital one bowl. In 2011, they were 11-3 after the win in the outback bowl over the Georgia bulldogs. In 2012, the Spartans were 7-6 after defeating the TCU horned frogs in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl. However, 2013 was without doubt the best season in Michigan State Spartans football history. That year, the Michigan State Spartans were 13-1 after defeating the Stanford Cardinal in the Rose Bowl. The wikipedia article on Mark Dantonio mentions "on October 8, 2011, Dantonio signed a contract extension that made him a "Spartan for life". Michigan state spartans are at their best since 2007.

The Mysterious Life of the Giant Squid

The Giant Squid is "perhaps the most mysterious of nature's giants." Throughout history, the media portrayed the Giant Squid as monsters from the deep ocean. Largely due to specimens found dead on beaches, that is how scientists know of the Giant Squid. Since they live in waters that are so deep and so cold (300-1000m), scientists know virtually nothing about them. Giant Squids live on a diet of fish, prawns, and other squids. The predator of the Giant Squid is the Sperm Whale.

Recently, scientists found a way to study the giant squid aside from dead specimens. The wikipedia article on the giant squid mentions "Because Sperm Whales are skilled at finding giant squid, scientists have tried to observe them to study the squid." In September of 2004, scientists off Japan took the first photographs of a Giant Squid in its natural habitat. More research is seemingly being done to better understand the giant squid and the mysteries surrounding it.

The History of Airliner Safety

Throughout history, the world has developed various forms of technology to protect airliners from terrorist attack or the attempt at such. On November 23, 1996 the crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961 occurred. The cause of the crash "was no accident". A history channel television show states "it's (flight 961) was being hijacked by three desperate Ethiopian men seeking political asylum. They have stormed the cockpit and claim to have a bomb." The video also mentioned "before 9-11, Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961 was the deadliest hijacking in aviation history. The video also points out "at that time (November 23, 1996) cockpits were much more accessible. Now, they are protected by bulletproof doors with keypad entry locks. Flight attendants (and/or air marshals) also stand guard, making it much more difficult to get to the pilots."

In airports, their security armament is various and sophisticated. They have metal detectors to check for weapons or suspicious items. The documentary on flight 253 (Christmas Day bombing attempt) states "when a passenger enters a metal detector arch, it sends pulses through the body creating a magnetic field that reflects back a signal. If the pulse meets anything metal, like a knife or the wires and components of a bomb, an opposing magnetic field is created, which triggers an alarm." Aside from metal detectors airports also have x-ray scanning machines to ensure that there are no dangerous ordinances in it. People are told to put their shoes through the x-ray scanner after the shoe bomb plot by Richard Reid.


Thanks to this technology the world has developed over the years, the security makes sure that flying is an incredibly safe experience.

The Power of the Brown Snake's venom

The Brown Snake from Australia is one of the most venomous snakes known in the world. The Wikipedia article mentions that "The eastern brown snake is considered to be the second most venomous terrestrial snake." The PBS show The Venom Cure also states "it (Brown Snake) has a venom 12 times more powerful than the deadly Indian Cobra and a reputation to match." To be precise, this reputation as stated by the wikipedia article is "although the brown snake tends to flee when confronted, it can be highly aggressive when provoked." The article also mentions "When highly agitated, they hold their necks high, appearing in an upright S-shape." This means that if aggravated to its core, the Brown Snake will become aggressive.

The venom of the Brown Snake is highly toxic. The Wikipedia article mentions "the venom mostly of neurotoxins and blood coagulants." Therefore, the bite of a brown snake must be taken seriously. The article also mentions that "without medical treatment, bites can be fatal."

As a result, when one sees a brown snake, one must leave it alone and run away.

Fascination with fluctuating flight costs

There are so many things in life that fascinate people. One of my fascinations is with the fluctuating costs of flights to various destinations. It does not matter if one is planning on flying to Tampa, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Miami (Florida), Pensacola, Orlando, Saint Augustine (Florida), Galveston, Texas, San Diego, and so on. The cost of these flights are constantly going up, going down, or staying the same. Some of the factors that may contribute to these changes include (but are not limited to): holidays/holiday weekends, the distance a destination is from one's home, the longer one procrastinates, and so on.

One of the topics that may contribute to the changes in the cost of flights are holidays/holiday weekends. For example, while I was watching a National Geographic episode of Seconds From Disaster regarding the crash of American Airlines Flight 191 that occurred on May 25, 1979 because of amiss repair techniques that the narrator says "it's a holiday weekend and the plane is almost full." The narrator does have a point. Trying to book a flight on a holiday weekend (especially last minute) is a bad idea. The flight may already be booked or near that point and causes the cost of said flights to go incredibly high.

Another topic that may associate with the cost of flights is the distance the destination is from one's home. For example, today I was googling flights from Dayton to various locations and revealed that the cost of a flight to Tampa is $332 if one flies with Delta, a flight to West Palm Beach costs $377 with Delta, Fort Lauderdale costs $368 with Delta, Miami (Florida) costs $400 with Delta, and Daytona Beach costs $384 with Delta. That being said, perhaps Delta is the cheapest airline option one must fly with. But these flight costs may change in cost some (if not stay the same). But one thing is certain, these flights are a heck of a lot less expensive that flights to Barcelona and Paris. On average, flights to Barcelona cost at least approximately $1500 and flights to Paris cost approximately $1800 at least.

The last thing I can say concerns trying to find hotels in Tampa, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami (Florida). In Tampa, I would advise Red Roof Inn-Tampa Brandon (averaging around $55 per night) or the Comfort Suites near Raymond James Stadium-home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and South Florida Bulls football team (averaging $90 per night). In West Palm Beach, I would advise either Hampton Inn West Palm Beach Central Airport (averaging $67 per night) or the Hilton Garden Inn West Palm Beach Airport (averaging $71 per night). In Fort Lauderdale, I would advise Best Western Plus Oakland Park Inn (averaging $73 per night) or the Riverside Hotel (averaging $99 per night). Finally, In Miami, Florida, I would advise either Best Western Plus Windsor Inn (averaging $81 per night) or Courtyard Miami Coral Gables (averaging $84 per night).

The Wandering Seals (like the animal seal)

Under normal circumstances, seals and other pinnipeds are found in cold to temperate regions worldwide. However, as the population of some species of seals goes up, their range gradually expands in the process. Perhaps the most famous species that are the epitome of seals wandering outside of their usual range are the Harbor seal and the Hooded seal.

The Harbor Seal is normally found in the cold and temperate regions of the north Atlantic and Pacific oceans. However, on the Atlantic coast, the wikipedia article mentions "the population of the Harbor Seals on the Atlantic coast is increasing quite steadily as they are reclaiming parts of their range and have been seen as far south as Florida." Perhaps maybe one day, we will see them continuing the legacy of the extinct Caribbean Monk Seal.

The Harbor seal is not the only seal with an expanding range as time goes on. The Hooded seal is also popping up in places outside of their normal range. The IUCN red list web page on the Hooded seal mentions "vagrant Hooded seals appear in places like the Canary Islands, Bermuda, Turks and Caicos islands, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Haiti, Jamaica, and other places outside of its natural range." This means that the Hooded seal may already be continuing the legacy of the extinct Caribbean Monk Seal.

With these reports considered, these seal species are wandering to so many places outside of their normal range.

My first year of college at Wright State University

After completing my senior year of high school at Chaminade Julienne Catholic High School in Dayton, Ohio, the next phase of my life is college at Wright State University. At first, I was beginning to have serious doubts about my performance and tenure at WSU. Some of these doubts encompassed but were not limited to the following: zero to little effort to help myself when it comes to independence, doing tasks like homework and papers on my own, and so on. However, as the semester and not to mention year at WSU progressed, I developed some considerable independence skills. I easily did laundry and homework myself, I wrote papers with ease, and studied for tests, quizzes, and exams pretty hard. That being said, I have strived for my task of becoming more independent and I got there.

When I first began my freshman year at Wright State University, I was lacking or having little confidence in my stay at WSU. That is because if I did not go to college, I would have to get a job that does not require a college degree. Some of these jobs and companies include but are not limited to: the typical McDonald's, Meijer, Panera Bread, Starbucks, Home Depot, Sam's Club, Home City Ice, Roofer (Full Time or Self-Employed), Tile Setter (Full Time or Self-Employed), and Carpenter (Full Time or Self-Employed). But, I am here at WSU and working towards a Bachelor's degree in Earth and Environmental Sciences.

Even though I had some doubts, as the semester and let alone year at WSU went on, I gradually became accustomed to college life. In my life at WSU, I have discovered skills that made me more independent (when it comes to helping myself). I have learned to type papers with minimal spelling, grammatical, capitalization, and punctuation errors. I also learned to do the vast majority of my homework myself as well as doing laundry and studying for tests, quizzes, and exams myself. I also learned to go shopping myself. I went to Meijer periodically for food and other necessities. I paid for these necessities with a VISA debit card. These are the skills necessary to succeed in college.

I personally feel that all the skills mentioned above I will utilize even more during my sophomore year at WSU. Also after my freshman year at WSU, I got my first job (part time of course) at WSU's technology center in disability services. The work involved will consist of converting books into audio format like CDs and cassettes.

After completing my freshman year at WSU, I feel I have become much more independent than I was before my time here began. I feel I will use my independence skills much more throughout the rest of my stint here.

2008 year in review (in NFL and NCAA football)

There were many notable events that occurred in the year 2008. That year was George W. Bush's last year as President of the United States because a year later, Barack Obama would take office. In the Olympics in Beijing China, "Michael Phelps won eight straight gold medals."

In the NFL, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Arizona Cardinals played each other in the Super Bowl after the 2008 season. The Steelers won that game. But, that same year holds another more infamous occurrence. The previous season, in 2007, the Detroit Lions achieved seven wins. Even though they had star Wide Receiver Calvin Johnson, they could not win even one game in 2008. A regular season record that disastrous had never happened before in NFL history. They went from a perfect pre-season to not winning a single game in the regular season while the Green Bay Packers went 6-10, despite the efforts of Quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Wide Receiver Jordy Nelson.

Dejected Detroit Lions fans after the haunting 2008 season.


In the 2008 NCAA football season, The University of Pittsburgh Panthers, Nebraska Corhuskers, and Michigan State Spartans were all 9-4 overall. Both the Virginia Tech Hokies and Georgia Bulldogs achieved ten wins. The Texas Longhorns won twelve games, and the Arizona Wildcats won eight games. In the NCAA, the University of Washington Huskies went winless in all twelve games, much like the Detroit Lions in the NFL. In the National Championship, the Florida Gators defeated the Oklahoma Sooners. For the most part, 2008 was a season of excellence in college football.

The Detroit Lions went winless while the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Florida Gators won championships. The year 2008 was a year that will be forever remembered throughout football history. 

Cone Snail facts

The cone snail (especially the ones that prey on fish) are extremely venomous with venom powerful enough to kill a human. The Wikipedia article mentions "The sting from the smaller ones are no more powerful than a bee or hornet sting. But for the larger fish eating species (especially Conus Tulipa, Conus Striatus, and Conus Geographus), a sting can sometimes have fatal consequences." The article also clarifies "other dangerous species to handle include Conus Textile." The Wikipedia article mentions "there is a gallows humor regarding Conus Geographus in which it is known as the "cigarette snail" because a person stung by one would only have enough time to smoke a cigarette before death."

The venom of the cone snail is one of the most complicated on earth since "it is made up of many different compounds." Considering the complexity of the cone snail venom, pharmacy companies are studying its properties as a potential pain killer. It is believed that a pain killer derived from cone snail venom "is several times more potent than morphine-without the nasty side effects." The venom of the cone snail can be collected by "teasing the cone snail by placing a fish in front of it so it will fire it's harpoon through the fish tail and into the venom collection tube." Another effective way is "dissecting dead cone snails for their venom (like the signature harpoon and the venom glands)."

Since there is no anti-venom for cone snail stings (yet), and treatment consists of keeping a victim's respiratory system functioning by means of artificial respiration, when you come across a cone snail, DO NOT pick it up. Therefore, in this case, it is better to be safe than sorry.

Blue Ringed Octopus

The Blue-Ringed Octopus is a major peril around Australia and Southeast Asia. It is the only species of octopus with a bite powerful enough to kill a human. The personality as well as the appearance of the Blue-Ringed Octopus is "stealthy, shy, and the size of a golfball." It is pretty to understand how the Blue-Ringed Octopus got its name, but "the infamous blue rings only really light up as a warning when the animal feels threatened" and when feeding. The Bad News is that "some people are attracted to the pretty colors and pick up the cute little octopus-BIG MISTAKE!."
 

  The Diet of the Blue-Ringed Octopus consists mostly of crabs, shrimps, and prawns. The Wikipedia article also mentions "it may also feed on small fish if it can catch them." The blue rings coming to life are derived from "a collection of elastic ink filled sacks called chromatophores. Located directly under the skin, the sacs stretch when the octopus feels threatened causing the blue pigment to appear. When the threat passes the sacs shrink and the pigment disappears."

A Youtube video mentions "most bites to humans occur when they try to handle the octopus." It also mentions "the Blue-Ringed Octopus' parrot-like beak can easily puncture the skin and the muscle beneath." The video also states "the bite itself is relatively painless, but the venom is 10,000 times more toxic than cyanide and fast acting." It also clarifies "it attacks and freezes the victims muscles, triggering the immediate loss of taste, touch, and sight. Left untreated, paralysis and respiratory failure can follow." A single bite from the Blue-Ringed Octopus can cause death in a matter of minutes "all from a creature the size of a golfball." The video clarifies "there is no known antidote (yet), but heart massage and artificial respiration can move the toxins through the body and prevent long term damage."

Popular things to check out in Barcelona, Spain

 

Yello.

This blog will talk about the popular things to check out while in Barcelona Spain. There are so many areas in Barcelona to check out that interest tourists. I learned from my grandparents as well as woltersworld video on Barcelona that "there is over a million people that visit Barcelona per year and on Las Ramblas there is about 150,000 people that walk on it every day and you are going to get overrun with tourists (woltersworld)."

Perhaps the most notable of which of the numerous tourists is the line at a church known as Sagrada Familia (woltersworld). This means that of one procrastinates about going to see Sagrada Familia, one will end up waiting in line for an incredibly long time. Other popular sites are Las Ramblas, the gothic quarter of Barcleona, and Park Guell. Ultimately, because Barcelona is perhaps the most popular tourist destination in Europe, Barcelona is also known as the most dangerous place to find pickpockets. So therefore, that is why one must protect their valuables like money, IDs, and debit/credit cards via Money Belts and Smart Pocket by Storus.

Myself

Howdy Guys!

I am a freshman at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. I am studying Earth and Environmental Sciences because the programs associated with that said major included studying planets, plants, and similar environmental issues. These are topics that I am enamored with.


In my free time, I like to play video games, exercise of course, and watch sports on television. In the NFL, my primary favorite team is the Cincinnati Bengals (I absolutely dislike the Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Baltimore Ravens). In college football, my favorite teams from the Big 10 conference are the Ohio State Buckeyes, Michigan State Spartans, and Nebraska Cornhuskers.

Some of my favorite movies consist mostly of action and comedies. Some of them include FBDO (Ferris Bueller's Day Off), Napoleon Dynamite, the Shrek franchise, and of course, Step Brothers.  Step Brothers is perhaps the epitome of what life must be like for someone to be unemployed, middle-aged (if not mid to late twenties), and spoiled.


I hope you enjoy my blog about the epitome of what life is like to be unemployed, middle-aged (if not mid to late 20s), and spoiled.
