Did Tarzan release his monkeys in Florida?

a Trivia for today!!

There is a colony of Rhesus Macaque (Macaca mulatta), often called the Rhesus Monkey, that is well established and thriving in Florida, USA. This population gained a foothold niche in the Silver River State Park as a result of being released by a tour boat operator known locally as "Colonel Tooey" to enhance his "Jungle Cruise" ride some time around the Spring of 1938. A traditional story that the monkeys were released for scenery enhancement in the Tarzan movies that were filmed at that location is false, as the only Tarzan movie filmed in the area, 1939's Tarzan Finds a Son! contains no Rhesus Macaques.

Today's Word "hauteur"

hauteur \haw-TUR; (h)oh-\ (noun) - Haughty manner, spirit, or bearing; haughtiness; arrogance.

"She was unremarkable in every way save for the hauteur with which she regarded him." -- Karen Robards, 'Scandalous'

Hauteur is from the French, from haut, "high," from Latin altus, "high." It is thus related to altitude.

Popular Plastic Surgery among Women

I guess, this post is dedicated to all women out there especially to those women who already gave birth. I remember my friend back in the Philippines. She told me before that after she gave birth, her vagina was ripped off and got enlarged. She also said that, the doctor have to put some stitches to put it back to its normal size.

I am not a Mother yet, so I have not experience what my friend had experience after she gave birth. They said that giving births have effects on our body especially on women's reproductive organs.

Did you know that today, the effects of giving births have already a remedy. The effect of having loose vagina after giving birth can already be fixed.

Method found to make tumors easier to kill

ST. LOUIS (UPI) -- U.S. medical scientists have found a vulnerability they say can be used to make cancer cells easier to heat and radiate and, therefore, easier to destroy. Washington University School of Medicine radiation oncology researchers found tumors have a built-in mechanism that protects them from hyperthermia, or heat, and most likely decreases the benefit of hyperthermia and radiation as a combined therapy.

The scientists found if they interfered with that protection, tumor cells grown in culture could be made more sensitive to hyperthermia-enhanced radiation therapy, a mainstay of cancer treatment. "Past research has shown that hyperthermia is one of the most potent ways to increase cell-killing by radiation," said senior author Associate Professor Tej Pandita.

"But now we've found that heat also enhances the activity of an enzyme called telomerase in cancer cells. Telomerase helps protect the cells from stress-induced damage and allows some of them to survive.

"We used compounds that inhibit telomerase and showed that cancer cells then become easier to destroy with hyperthermia and radiation used in combination," he added. The findings are reported in the journal Cancer Research.

ESA, NASA to share space achievement award

PARIS (UPI) -- The Ulysses observatory, a U.S.-European mission, has won an international award for the scientific productivity of the spacecraft, now orbiting the sun. The European Space Agency and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration will receive the 2008 International SpaceOps Award for Outstanding Achievement from the International Committee on Technical Interchange for Space Mission Operations and Ground Data Systems, also known as the SpaceOps Committee.

The award will be presented during the SpaceOps 2008 Conference next week in Heidelberg, Germany. The Ulysses spacecraft was launched in 1990 on a planned five-year mission; keeping the hugely successful spacecraft operating for more than 17 years has presented operations engineers on the ground with a series of unique challenges, the ESA said.

According to the SpaceOps Secretariat, the achievement award is presented for "outstanding efforts in overcoming space operations and support challenges, and recognizes those teams or individuals whose exceptional contributions were critical to the success of a space mission.

" The spacecraft was built in Europe, while NASA provided the radioisotope thermoelectric generator power source and the launch on board space shuttle Discovery in 1990. The scientific payload was provided by both U.S. and European investigators.
