The males of one species of spiders die shortly after mating but unlike black widows, where females eat the males, they die on their own, U.S. scientists say. Researchers at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln said they found once the male dark fishing spider transfers its sperm to the female, it dies just hours later. Once the male spider releases its sperm, it immediately seizes up, curling its legs and lying still, appearing to be dead but still technically alive, they said. "We measured the heartbeat, and it's still there," behavioral ecologist Steven Schwartz told ABC News. However, he said, the spider can't move and does not respond to any poking, prodding or other forms of physical stimulation, and in less than three hours the heart stops beating and the male spider is officially declared dead. Sexually mature male dark fishing spiders often outnumber females, so there's pressure for them to mate, Schwartz said, and any advantage in passing on ...

For obvious reasons, most people wouldn’t even attempt to break a baseball bat with a shin kick, but Dr. Mak Yuree owes his superhuman reputation to his ability to break through three baseball bats with his thunder kicks. Hailing from Dakha, Bangladesh, Mak Yuree is a world renowned martial arts expert who has spent almost his entire life training in 40 different fighting styles, including Varma Kalai, one of the oldest and deadliest forms of pressure point martial art. He is also an international authority on meditation, mind training and motivational speaking, but most average people know him as the guy who can break baseball bats with his tibia. Yuree has set a world record for most wooden baseball bats broken with a single kick, after shattering three of them in one go, and has since then performed the amazing feat at a number of events and on television. Growing up under iron discipline in military boarding school, Thundershin Man says he trained for nearly...

Another month, another new landmark for Dubai. Following on from the recent opening of Dubai Miracle Garden , billed as the world’s biggest natural flower garden, the launch of Dubai Design District and the release of plans to build an underwater hotel in the area, the city has now inaugurated Cayan Tower, the world’s tallest twisted tower. Located by Dubai Marina, the 75-storey building rises to a height of 1,010ft (307 metres) and houses 495 apartments. The swerve of the structure will mean residents in the lower part of the tower will find their view oriented towards the waterfront promenade of Dubai Marina; those on the upper floors are rotated to face the Persian Gulf. The unusual form of the building presented various challenges for its designers – Skidmore Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM) – and developers. The concrete structure rotates a hexagonal floor plate around a circular core and the top of the tower is offset 90 degre...

A strip or nude club is an adult entertainment venue or a night club where stripteases or other erotic or exotic dances are regularly performed. A strip club is run like a night club or bar, but it can also adopt a theatre or cabaret form. This club, is gradually making its way into many towns and cities in Nigeria, especially in Lagos city and with increasing patronage by different high profile people... Efforts by various governments, especially the Lagos State government to rid towns and cities of these strip clubs have met a brick wall as the operators of such businesses are back with little or no moderation to the usual practice. The government, while attempting to bring a little sanity to the city’s night life once raided the strip clubs in the Ikeja axis of Lagos State and arrested the strippers. But the operators reacted by charging the government to court. This incident generated a lot of issues and divided the public who held different opinions on the ...

Enormous mosquitoes known as gallinippers (or Psorophora ciliata ) have been spotted in Florida, according to WKMG , a CBS affiliate. The insects are about 20 times larger than most common mosquitoes. The sighting comes after a warning by the University of Florida that there could be a bumper crop of these mosquitoes this summer. Gallinippers can grow to the size a quarter and have painful stings, which can feel "like you're being stabbed," Anthony Pelaez of Tampa's Museum of Science and Industry told Fox Orlando earlier this year. The huge insects are known to be aggressive and feed both day and night; most mosquitoes aren't active during the day. The gallinippers depend on heavy rains and were nourished by last year's downpour from Tropical Storm Debby. Continued rainfall, like that from Tropical Storm Andrea, will likely cause a spike in all mosquitoes this summer, Kelly Deutsch, the director of Seminole County Mosquito Control, told...

Everyone dreams—every single night—and yet we tend to know so little about our dreams. Where do they come from? What do they mean? Can we control them and should we try to interpret them? We spoke to the dream experts to bring you nine surprising facts about dreams. Read before snoozing. 1. Dreaming can help you learn. If you’re studying for a test or trying to learn a new task, you might consider taking a nap or heading to bed early rather than hovering over a textbook an hour longer. Here’s why: When the brain dreams, it helps you learn and solve problems, say researchers at Harvard Medical School. In a study that appeared in a recent issue of Current Biology , researchers report that dreams are the brain’s way of processing, integrating and understanding new information. To improve the quality of your sleep—and your brain’s ability to learn—avoid noise in the bedroom, such as the TV, which may negatively impact the length and quality of dreams. 2. Just like men, women can have ...

  This skyscraper a masterpiece, because of the sheer imagination and vision that Jeanne Gang had. it is over 800 feet tall, this structure has more than 80 stories. What distinguishes it from other contemporary structures is its rippled exterior.  This is the CCTV Headquarters , It is approximately around 800 feet tall. It is located in Beijing. I wonder where this inspiration came from. It is a work done by Jan Marcin Szancer and Per Dahlberg. This is what i call Beauty.   Tired of the monotonous box shaped homes, This design was created by Piet Blom . These houses were first made in Helmond, and now Rotterdam also hosts such abodes. Piet Blom considered each “cube” to be an abstract tree, thus making a cluster of such houses a forest. It is located in Netherlands. This is simply Brilliant. The structure looks more like a snail shell.
