The Japanese archipelago stretches over 3000km (1900 miles) from the temperate, northernmost island of Hokkaido to the subtropical islands of Okinawa in the south. Both Tokyo and Kyoto are located on Honshu, the largest and economically and culturally most important of the four major islands. Shikoku and Kyushu lie to the southwest. Much of the archipelago is mountainous and only a small percentage of land is available for agriculture and development. Thus large areas remain forested while towns and cities tend to be densely populated. The coastline is indented with numerous bays, inlets and small islands.

THE BEST FATHER OF THE WORLD (THE SEA HORSE)

The seahorse is a small very specializing salt-water fish. It´s name refers to seemed of his face with the terrestrial horses, but nothing else it is possible to compare with them.

They reproduce from the spring until the summer’s months. In this epoch, the male and the female interlace with the tail. After a wedding dance, in this position, the female penetrates of his sewer, with help of a genital papilla of some 3mm. Of length, his eggs to the bag ventral of the males, that it is covered with soft fabric and arranged in compartments, to support every separated egg, as in spongy cells.


A male can be visited certainly number of females who leave eggs him, but if an egg doesn´t manage to come to one of these departments doesn’t develop. Nevertheless, which fall good, develop in this bag up to 50 or 60 days and dead inside it.

The birth or ejection of the young men seems to be exhausting for the father. Supporting firmly with the tail as an aid, he rubs his bag against a shell or rock until the young men go out, with fractions of his internal fabrics.

Some animals have developed amazing adaptations to their environments. Many different types of energy exist in the environment, some of which humans cannot detect. Here are some examples of how some animals sense the outside world and the anatomical structures that allow them to do so.

For example:

Bees
Can see light between wavelengths 300 nm and 650 nm.
Have chemoreceptors (taste receptors) on their jaws, forelimbs and antennae.
Worker honey bees have 5,500 lenses ("ommatidia") in each eye.
Worker honey bees have a ring of iron oxide ("magnetite") in their abdomens that may be used to detect magnetic fields. They may use this ability to detect changes in the earth's magnetic field and use it for navigation.
Can see polarized light.

Bats
Can detect warmth of an animal from about 16 cm away using its "nose-leaf".
Bats can also find food (insects) up to 18 ft. away and get information about the type of insect using their sense of echolocation.
Can hear frequencies between 3,000 and 120,000 Hz.
Snakes
Pit-vipers have a heat-sensitive organ between the eyes and the nostrils about 0.5 cm deep. This organ has a membrane containing 7,000 nerve endings that respond to temperature changes as small as 0.002-0.003 degrees centigrade. A rattlesnake can detect a mouse 40 cm away if the mouse is 10 degrees centigrade above the outside temperature.
The tongue of snakes has no taste buds. Instead, the tongue is used to bring smells and tastes into the mouth. Smells and tastes are then detected in two pits, called "Jacobson's organs", on the roof of their mouths. Receptors in the pits then transmit smell and taste information to the brain.
Snakes have no external ears. Therefore, they do not hear the music of a "snake charmer". Instead, they are probably responding to the movements of the snake charmer and the flute. However, sound waves may travel through bones in their heads to the middle ear.

Inusual Job. By Alejandro Cañas B.

MORTAL FISHING
This activity develops in October, with a season that goes from four days and that strange comes to more from twelve; in shifts of 20 hours exposed to an extreme climate, big waves and constant danger of suffocation, hypothermia and serious injuries. But in counterpart, with the possibility of winning up to 100,000 dollars in five days of work.
Alaska is the scene where there is carried out what might be named without fear of doubts, the most dangerous work of the world. It is a question of the fishing crab, a office for rash and brave men that they do not suffer from fear of the water and it is not important for whom to challenge to the death.
The American dream attracts many Hispanics who every year put in risk his life, having travelled up to what might be considered to be the end of the world; in order to try to extract a fortune to the sea. Here the gold this one in the crab that lives in the entrails of a violent and cold ocean that exists between Alaska and Siberia.
Almost every fisherman of crabs of Alaska returns to the coast with serious injuries and some class of wound: hands and squashed fingers, and ribs and broken extremities. And in the worst accidents the people die: the constant danger of suffocation, results in that more than 80 % dies drowned, as result of having being dragged by the hut, because of the incredibly violent seas.
Obviously, the risk implies an immense remuneration and in case of these fishermen it is in the habit of being very juicy: in counterpart to the immense danger there exists the possibility of winning up to hundred thousand dollars in five days of work.

INTERNET REGULATION IN JAPAN. BY NICOLAS ALVIAR

JAPAN :

IS a country who have one of the bigest net in the planet and the most active net of internet. for this reason the goverment o f japan is taking measures to control the content of internet. this control is directed toward to blogs, personal web pages bur this control is very simple.

a provitional report of this simple regulation was publicated at the beginig of 2007. in this report there is a danger since for the freedom of speech the net it could be eliminated, it originated an extremely high number of public comments. Most of these against the regulation.

This regulation can be interpreted how a violation of human liberty but the introduction of penal regulations was avoided, what could be seen as a bigger achievement.

However, once the regulations have been initiate, they will be intensified. And besides all this, with regard to the “government regulation”.

Internet regulations in China. Be Alejandro Cañas B.

China has refined its technological methods for controlling the Internet allow blocking only parts of sites instead of entire pages; if the website is domestic, they can issue a warning or close it down, a practice that is common during "sensitive periods" of the year8, such as during elections or visits from foreign officials. One Harvard Law School student found that China regularly denies local users access to 19,000 sites, representing the most extensive Internet censorship in the world.9
Enforcement of laws is swift and strict; 3000 of China's 45,000 Internet cafes were shut down between 2002 and 2003. At that time a fifth of Chinese users logged on from such cafes.10 In 2002 Liu Di, known online as "Stainless Steel Mouse," was confined for a year for dissident postings, and web journalist Shi Tao was sentenced to 10 years for demanding remembrance of Tiananmen Square.11 As of May 2004, Reporters Without Borders counted 61 "cyber-dissidents" in jail in China.
Critics say that China's limits on publicly-available information repress individual freedoms and hinder academic research. However, both President Hu Jintao and former President Jiang Zemin have affirmed their support of the Internet as a popular medium12, Zemin called it an "engine for development." 13 Regarding science and censorship, Professor Shoucheng Zhang of Stanford's physics department said, "you can clearly have both" in a 2002 interview with Business Week. He remarks that most academic archives are "accessible by anyone" online, even when a university's website is blocked, and projects that some Chinese scientific schools could match MIT and Stanford in 50 years.
Other countries notable for attempting to restrict Internet content are Iran and Saudi Arabia, where the government owns all servers or requires private companies to filter out anti-Islamic and pornographic material. In 1996, the US Congress passed the Communications Decency Act. imposing content restrictions on the Internet, such as restriction on posting "indecent" or "patently offensive" materials web pages, newsgroups, chat rooms, or online discussion lists. In 1997, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the act as unconstitutional.
At the same time, the US is criticized for monopolizing ownership of the world's web address system and thereby maintaining "the theoretical power to cut [many governments] off from the Internet system by blocking the country suffix." The US refused an EU proposal to hand ownership over to an international body most recently on September 30.16 Australia's 1999 Broadcasting Services Amendment bans pornography and France's 1999 case LICRA and UEJF vs. Yahoo! Inc. and Yahoo France prohibits revisionist and Nazi-related material. But Charles Li of the Law Faculty of the University of Ottawa argues that unlike Australia's and France's specific limits, "China's emphasis is to control the political, economic, social and cultural information, as well as any ‘unhappy Information', which constitutes a broad and sometimes unpredictable category of content."
While China's regulations may fuel fears that it remains a repressive regime, Internet usage and access have increased steadily, and PRC leaders have repeatedly expressed support for the medium. Internet forums are beginning to open up in comparison to traditional press mediums. Stories of social injustice were discovered and spread over the Internet and, on the surface, the government was thankful for these leads. The Internet has led to greater freedom of speech for Chinese citizens, compared to 15 years ago. China never claims to be a democratic country and so it is resentful of the West telling it what is "right and wrong." It is a long and painful process to change and hopefully the Internet will allow China to move in the direction of openness, rather than repression.

Alternative Medicine. Be Alejandro Cañas B.

In Germany the homeopathy is practised officially by the doctors and naturópatas recognized.

The homeopathy was born at the end of the 18th century designed by the German doctor Samuel Hahnemann. His theoretical base holds that the same symptoms that a toxic substance provokes in a healthy person can be treated by a remedy prepared with the same toxic substance, following the beginning principle enunciated like similia similibus curantur (' the similar thing recovers with the similar thing ').

The homeopathic remedies have been created bearing in mind the physical, emotional, mental symptoms and of behavior that toxic substances provoke in the organism. These are prepared under the method of the dinamización or involution, which consists of a series of dilutions followed by agitations, by means of which it is considered that the essence of the substance transfers to the water, transforming it in sanadora.

In Colombia,the alternative medicine is the application of medical technologies skills they can collaborate to the restitution of the health and that they do not have to see with the conventional pharmacologists.

" It is a question of reducing also to the maximum the consumption of medicines of chemical origin but there is never known the possibility of resorting to them ", the mayor annotates.

The program develops in two senses: the first one is to socialize with the citizens the service that is offered and the procedure is done by means of previous appointments.

The second thing is to sensitize the doctors in the use of the technologies of alternative medicine doing a training to them in the doctor's office during the hours in which the mayor does the consultation, or from 2 to 5 of the evening every Wednesday.

For the following phase the medicines that are going to be distributed will be extracts of medicinal plants sowed and cultivated in The Star and prepared by the pupils of the last degree of secondary as part of the technical averages.

In conclusion, the term alternative medicine designates of wide form the methods and practices used in place, or as complement, of the medical conventional treatments to recover or to relieve diseases. The precise scope of the alternative medicine is an object of certain debate and depends mostly of what we are understands for " conventional medicine ".
