Scientists cross breed Russian Sturgeon and American Paddlefish to create new Sturddlefish

Hybrid Sturddlefish
While trying to save the Russian sturgeon from extinction, scientists accidentally create a hybrid fish called a sturddlefish that is half Russian Sturgeon and half American Paddlefish.


A brand new form of fish known as a 'sturddlefish' is a cross between a Russian ganoid fish and yank ganoid fish have been created by scientists during a science laboratory.

A team from the analysis Institute for Fisheries and cultivation, Hungary, were exploiting ganoid fish gamete to undertake to coax eggs from the vulnerable ganoid fish into reproducing asexually, during a method known as parthenogeny.

They selected ganoid fish gamete and as a result of they assumed the two species would be unable to breed. The fish never made contact with each other, and also the parthenogeny method needs the 'sperm however not its DNA'.

The team says 
this might flow from to the fact that they are a 'living fossil' species, that's that they need modified little since their last common antecedent was alive.

'These phenomena could lead to a better similarity, compatibility, and adaptability among the ganoid fish genomes,' the authors wrote in their paper printed in Genes.

Despite this, a brand new species of sturddlefish - from a feminine ganoid fish and male ganoid fish - have been created during a science laboratory 'accidentally' despite researchers predicting it'd be not possible for the 2 to supply offspring.

The Russian Sturgeon and American Paddlefish are two distant species and live in two very different locations geographically in the world. This is a fascinating discovery.

Immigration Problem Solved: 5 Ways To Stop An Alien Takeover

Alien artwork by Didier Konings
Illegal aliens and the immigration laws are all over the news. It's a hot-button topic in political circles with a general election coming up.

But domestic aliens are less invasive than aliens that attack from outer space.

So take a moment to consider the real threat of an alien takeover, and how you can prepare yourself, with some help from popular Hollywood films.

5 Ways to Stop an Alien Takeover:
  1. Use knowledge gained about the aliens to take the upper hand. In The Darkest Hour (2011), Emile Hirsch plays a young entrepreneur that is taken surprise by invisible aliens that attempt a worldwide takeover. These electric emitting aliens can only by fought with microwave guns (that a brilliant Russian creates on a whim), and a little American ingenuity. In Cowboys and Aliens (2011), Jake (Daniel Craig) wakes up with amnesia and a high-tech blaster sealed to his wrist. Aliens attack and cowboys must team up with indians to ward off the gold-hungry aliens. Ella (Olivia Wilde) turns out to be a friendly alien, and they all learn the hard way that a bow-and-arrow is useless when fighting alien immigrants from outer space. They have no intention of learning English, despite working in a U.S. gold mine. A laser gun and a little dynamite works a lot better.
  2. Run and let the angry birds do the fighting with biological warfare. In War of the Worlds (2005), the humans are ineffective against the alien invasion, however the bird flu is what sends the aliens packing. Look, if the birds of planet Earth want to fight for us, why stop them? Its about time they pull their weight.
    Note: This has nothing whatsoever to do with Angry Birds in Space.
  3. Let the friendly aliens fight for you. In The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008), an alien friendly comes to Earth to prevent the G.O.R.T. robot from wiping out humanity altogether. If Keanu Reeves is on your side, who can be against you? Or how about in Transformers (2007) when friendly robots come from outer space to help defend Earth from the power-hungry robots that want use Earth for a new home?
  4. Take an alien fighter ship and take revenge. In Independence Day (1996), aliens attempt a worldwide takeover, and an American fighter pilot – played by Will Smith – takes one of the alien ships back to the Mother ship and takes a surprise with him to blow them into oblivion.
  5. Find an intergalactic Stargate and lead a ground-based rebellion against the alien threat. In Stargate (1994), Kurt Russell plays an army Colonel with a mission to destroy the gateway between planets to protect Earth. Unfortunately, he finds that the alien enemy must be stopped by blowing up the Pyramid-like spaceship first.

If you think you can add to this list, feel free to leave a comment at the bottom.

5 Reasons to Watch American Pickers on the History Channel


Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz of American Pickers


5 Reasons to Watch American Pickers on the History Channel:
  1. Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz don’t take advantage of people. They offer a fair price to people they deal with.
  2.  Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz have an awesome job. They get to travel all over the U.S. to find rare items on the backroads of America.
  3. Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz are passionate about what they do. You can visibly see their excitement when they find an unusual item that they’ve gotta have.
  4. Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz love to meet new people and hear stories about the pieces they buy. They have such an awesome job!
  5. Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz are everyday guys. They have a job that they love, which makes it almost not a job. They have found their calling in life, and that is inspiring.

I enjoy watching American Pickers on the History Channel. Not only is it entertaining, but I learn new ways to negotiate and make offers from watching their show.

Celebrities like Jack White and William Shatner are featured in episodes of American Pickers. But the people Mike and Frank find off the beaten path can be strange, odd, and even bizarre. That's what really makes the show interesting.

If you haven’t seen American Pickers, I recommend you go to the official website here, and check out an episode.

Note: I am not aware of an official American Pickers blog. Please update all of the fans of the show if you have a website URL for an official American Pickers blog. It would be much appreciated.

Abortion is the American Holocaust; Over 53 Million Dead

Fetal stage of Prenatal development
Today marks the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision to legalize abortion in the famous trial of Rowe v. Wade.

I am not a WWII Holocaust survivor, but I am a survivor of the American Holocaust, brought about by the legalization of abortion.

I can say this because a family member told me that abortion was suggested, because at the time, my mother was not married to my father.

I am very thankful that I was given the chance to live, and thankful that God has given me an opportunity to walk upon the Earth.

I want to bring up a video that Ray Comfort has made, called the "180" Movie, and can be viewed here on Youtube.

180 Movie

The video goes in depth about how terrible the WWII Holocaust was, but there is now a bigger mass killing taking place today, thanks to the legalization of abortion. By the way, Adolf Hitler sanctioned the murder of 11 million people.

The most shocking truth found in the 180 Movie is that many younger people have no clue who Adolf Hitler was.
Adolf Hitler

Those who do remember who Hitler was, do not hesitate on the question: "If you could go back in time, would you kill Hitler's mother, when she was pregnant with Hitler?"

Killing a baby makes you no better than any other murderer in the history of time. Taking a life is the same whether it is inside of a mother, or walking on the Earth.

Baby in the womb at six weeks


Above is a picture of a baby in the womb at six months. The safest place on Earth should be the mother's womb.

Wikipedia says:
"Prenatal development is the process in which a human embryo gestates during pregnancy, from fertilization until birth."

"By the end of the 10th week of the gestational age, the precursors of all of the major organs have been created in prenatal development."

Ray Comfort discusses with real people off of the street the challenging subject of abortion, and I recommend that you watch this video regardless of which side of the issue you believe.

Again, the 180 Movie can be viewed here.

Allowing abortion to go on in this country is a present-day Holocaust that is no different than allowing Hitler to kill people in Nazi Germany during WWII.

All babies deserve the right to live. There are many loving homes that are willing to adopt a baby.

I will end with this shocking abortion statistic, since the Supreme Court decision, Rowe v. Wade.
