En español │To a lot of us, today's twenty-somethings seem like a whole new breed. On the positive side, they're often wonderfully full of zest for life and a sense of adventure — traveling, studying abroad, moving to a new city and trying all kinds of new experiences. On the not-so-positive side, they sometimes seem to have trouble finding a direction in life, and many take longer to become independent and accept responsibilities than young people did in past decades.
— Alex Telfer/Gallery Stock
Try to put aside the timetable that applied decades ago and respect the longer road to adulthood they are traveling today.
- Fifty years ago the median age of entering marriage in the U.S. was 20 for women and 22 for men; today it's 26 for women and 28 for men, and still rising.
- In 1960 only 33 percent of young people went to college; today, 69 percent of high school graduates enter college the next year.
- Women used to have few options besides wife and mother; today they exceed men in college enrollment and are equal to men in law school, medical school and business school enrollment.
- Young Americans expect a lot more out of work than their parents or grandparents did. They change jobs an average of seven times from age 20 to 29 as they search for work that is personally fulfilling, not just a job but an adventure.
Put all these changes together and the result is a new life stage: "Emerging Adulthood." This period typically runs from age 18 to 25, although it lasts through the 20s for some. Based on hundreds of research interviews, I've identified five features as typical of emerging adulthood:
Identity explorations. This is a time when young people focus on figuring out who they are and what they want to do with their lives, as they try out different possibilities in love and work. Your 18-year-old may head for college with pre-med in mind, then discover a love for marine biology as a sophomore, and by age 24 have moved on to international business.
Instability. In the course of all these identity explorations there are many changes — in jobs, in love partners, in where they live and in plans for the future. More than any other stage of life, it is difficult to predict where they'll be and what they'll be doing from one year to the next.
Self-focus. Emerging adults are focusing on their self-development and have relatively few obligations to others, so they have more freedom than people of other ages have. You can text them, and they may text you back — or they may not. It's important to them to carve out a space where they can make their own decisions.
Feeling In-Between. Most emerging adults feel somewhere in-between adolescence and adulthood, on the way to adulthood but not there yet. And most are in no particular hurry, although nearly all get there eventually. Adulthood means paying your own bills and taking on all sorts of responsibilities, something they regard with mixed feelings.
Sense of Possibilities. Most are highly optimistic about their future and believe that all doors are still potentially open to them. Even though nearly all are struggling in the present, both personally and financially, they believe that eventually they'll snag that just-right job and find their soul mate.
In many ways, the rise of this new life stage is a good thing. Why shouldn't young people take most of their twenties to try out many possible paths?
Most of them make use of the freedom of emerging adulthood to have experiences they couldn't have when they were younger and probably won't be able to have when they're older, such as teaching in China for a year, perhaps, or taking a low-paid but fascinating internship with a nonprofit organization.

Standing at the back of the Marussia F1 team's garage, dressed in racing overalls and hooked into their communications system, she is trying to make that dream reality.
The noise is deafening. The engines rev, but her ears are protected by the 'bins' that feed her all the information passing between drivers and engineers.
For this serious, hazel-eyed 32-year-old Spaniard, there is no satisfaction in landing a role as test driver and possible reserve for German Timo Glock or Frenchman Charles Pic, himself a rookie.
For her, it is merely an opportunity to emulate her father and prove she can, one day, sit behind the wheel of an F1 car on a Grand Prix grid.
"This is my passion, since I was so young and I am focussed," she explained. "It doesn't matter that I am a woman. I have always had to race against men. Always..."
This is a woman who believes she has a chance to shape her own destiny - and one who cares nothing for suggestions that she may be a role model for her sex.
"My father did not want me to race, no - he wanted me to be an Olympics athlete - but I was so much pushing and pushing to be here... It wasn't easy, but here I am now," she said.
"It is not easy for people to understand. I have to make them believe I have talent. To push and push and, you know, sometimes to be rude. Strong. Now I have a chance and I have to take it."
De Villota's father, Emilio de Villota, raced in the British Aurora F1 series in the late 1970's and early 1980's. In 1980, the year his daughter was born in Madrid, he enjoyed his best season: 13 races, six poles, five wins and nine podiums overall.
He took his daughter to see him race. Soon enough, she was hooked.
She has climbed the greasy pole from karting to top-level single seater racing.
Critics say her family eased the path and that she has reached F1 thanks to sponsorship, not talent.
She says she has done it by working hard. "I'm not married and I don't have a steady boyfriend," she said. "That's my choice. I have time for that later. This is my time for this - to race."
The Marussia team boss John Booth said: "She had a test in France last August and we know what she can do. We are integrating Maria into the F1 environment so she can learn, gain experience and do some testing later in the year."
That will come at the rookies' end of season Abu Dhabi test.
"It has taken me a long time to get here," said De Villota. "I have made more progress in the last years, because I had experience. Sometimes it is better to be older to be a driver.
"And I don't care what people say. I am so focussed. I want to learn, to race, to be on the grid...."
She knows it is a tall order.
If De Villota makes it, she will become the sixth woman to take part in a world championship event - only one of whom, Italian Lella Lombardi, delivered any points.
Half of a point, in fact. She managed that in a crash-curtailed Spanish Grand Prix at Barcelona in her second race, in 1975. Fluky? Maybe... but it stands in the record books.
The last woman to drive in an F1 Grand Prix weekend was Italian Giovanna Amati, with Brabham, in early 1982. She survived three GP weekends, but failed to qualify for a race.
Her successor was a determined Englishman called Damon Hill, another child of a racing father.
He also struggled to qualify with the Brabham, but finally succeeded. And, in 1996, he won the drivers' world championship....
"I know that this is my only chance," said De Villota. "I have only ever raced against men, so it is not a problem. I have to do it.
"And it is not about me being a woman. I am proud of women - we are strong, raise families and do many important things in our lives.
"But this is not like that. It is just about me and the racing..."

How to keep more money in your pocket? Here are ten money-saving ideas from The Old Farmer's Almanac.
That man is the richest whose pleasures are the cheapest. –Henry David Thoreau (1817–62)
- Have a spa day at home. Here are two facials that smooth wrinkles:
- Whip the white of an egg until it's stiff and rub it over your face and neck. Allow it to dry. Then rinse away with warm water.
- Mix cornstarch and evaporated milk together to make a quick paste. Apply it to your face and allow it to dry. Then rinse away with cold water.
- To wipe up spills, use rags made from old clothing instead of using paper towels. Wash the rags as needed.
- Fill a plastic bag with dryer lint and use as a padding for a package.
- Periodically remove and dust the light bulbs in your home. They will be up to 40 percent more efficient.
- Unravel an outgrown wool sweater (or one purchased at a thift shop) and use the yarn to make something else—mittens, a scarf, or another sweater.
- Remove the covers (or fronts) of old greeting cards, cut them into fanciful shapes, and use them as gift tags.
- Get carpentry tips and home construction ideas by serving on a Habitat for Humanity or similar home-building crew.
- Go to schools where students provide services with teachers' supervision: Get haircuts at beauty schools, dental work at dental schools, and meals at cooking schools.
- Acquire basic foreign language skills by helping a foreign student learn English.
- Volunteer at theaters and cultural organizations to save on ticket and membership fees.

Nico Hulkenberg concedes it has not been a good start to the season for Sauber but says they still have time to improve...
Nico Hulkenberg concedes it has not been a good start to the season for Sauber but says they still have time to improve.
Following last year's four podium finishes, much was expected of Sauber this season. To date, though, the team has failed to deliver.
Sauber's best result has been Hulkenberg's eighth place in Malaysia. That, coupled with the one point he scored in China, has left the team trailing the midfield battle down in eighth place.
"We are obviously not happy, neither myself nor the team," the 25-year-old told Motorsport-Magazin.
"But the season is still long and we certainly are not going to write it off."
However, as things stand this looks to be yet another season in which Hulkenberg won't find himself challenging at the front.
"You just have to be patient sometimes," he added.
"There are many other drivers out there who had to wait long for their time to come."
The German also weighed on his team-mate Esteban Gutierrez trying start to his F1 career. In four races the Mexican has yet to score a point but has already been penalised by the stewards are crashing into Adrian Sutil in China.
Hulkenberg, though, says the rookie racer just needs time.
"Esteban is a rookie and everything is new to him the same way it was for me in 2010 at Williams.
"He will gain experience and will surely become even better."

Ana's highly successful Western & Southern Financial Group Women's Open in Cincinnati came to a painful end on Saturday as she was forced to retire in the early stages of her match against Belgian Kim Clijsters.
Trailing 2-1 and with the US Open champion serving at deuce, Ana appeared to injure her left foot while playing a forehand. She received on-court medical treatment but was unable to continue for more than two points.
The Ohio crowd gave Ana a generous standing ovation as she left the court in recognition of her entertaining play this week.
The 22-year-old left the Lindner Family TennisCenter soon afterwards, headed to a local hospital to have an MRI scan. Before departing she described the injury:
"All of a sudden on that one shot I felt like something crack a little bit. I was very scared.
"I'm obviously disappointed the way it finished, because I felt like I had a really good run and it was a good start to the match for both of us, I think.
"And just on that one forehand when I went to step around it, I just felt like pain all of a sudden, so much pain in my foot and I couldn't step on it anymore.
"I tried a bit of tape, but I could not put any weight on it, and there was no point in me continuing."
Asked to comment on the tournament overall, Ana said: "It's been a great week for me. I still played some really great tennis.
"All the support I had here was great, and the facilities are really good. I did enjoy my week, and I look forward to next year."
Ana now faces a race against time in order to be fit for the Pilot Pen Tennis, which begins in New Haven on Sunday 22 August. The US Open commences on Monday 30 August.
An injury update will be posted when available

Exotic and Laboratory Animals
Gerbils are also known as jirds or sand rats. Wild Mongolian gerbils are found in Mongolia, adjacent parts of southern Siberia and northern China, and Manchuria. The pet and laboratory gerbil is Meriones unguiculates, commonly known as the Mongolian gerbil. There are 14 species in the genus Meriones. All captive Mongolian gerbils are derived from 20 pairs trapped in eastern Mongolia in 1935.
Externally gerbils are quite ratlike. The head and body length is 95–180 mm and tail length is 100–193 mm. The average weight is 50–55 g in females and 60 g in males. The covering of fur on the tail is short near the base and progressively longer toward the tip. Coloration of upper parts varies from pale, clear yellowish through sandy and gray. The sides of the body are generally lighter than the back.
Gerbils inhabit clay and sandy deserts and are highly resistant to heat stress and dehydration. They are terrestrial and construct simple burrows in soft soil where they spend most of their time.
Mongolian gerbils have several coat colors. The wild coat color is agouti and is controlled by an autosomal dominant gene. Sandy-colored gerbils are due to a recessive color gene and show a yellow to ginger color on the dorsum and the typical creamy white belly of a wild-type Mongolian gerbil. The dorsal yellow hairs have short black tips, and a light olive green base. A clear demarcation line between dorsal and ventral color is present. Black gerbils are due to an autosomal recessive gene; white albino gerbils with red eyes due to an autosomal recessive gene are also seen.
Gerbils have a large, ventral abdominal marking gland that is androgen dependent. It attains greater size in the male and develops at an earlier age. The gland is used for territorial marking. Females mark their territory following parturition and become more aggressive.
The adrenal cortex produces nearly equal amounts of corticosterone and 19-hydroxycorticosterone. When the adrenal gland weight is compared with body weight, the gerbil adrenal gland is ∼3× the size of the adrenal in the rat. Gerbils have a high proportion of erythrocytes with polychromasia, basophilic stippling, and reticulocytosis.
Male gerbils attain sexual maturity by 70–84 days. Vaginal opening in females occurs between 40–60 days, 30 days before sexual maturity occurs. Gerbils tend to pair bond; when older females lose their mate, getting them to accept another is often impossible. Early-maturing females are more likely to breed successfully on first pairing, and the lifetime fecundity of early-maturing females is more than twice that of their late-maturing littermates.
The gestation period of nonlactating gerbils is 24–26 days, but lactating females have a prolonged gestation of 27 days. If females are bred in the postpartum period, they delay implantation, leading to a gestation as long as 48 days. Litter size is typically 3–7 animals. Young gerbils suckle for about 21 days and begin to eat solid foods at 16 days. In general, day 25 is considered suitable for weaning. The normal lifespan of a gerbil is 2–3 yr.
The diet of wild Mongolian gerbils consists of green vegetation, roots, bulb seeds, cereals, fruit, and insects. Gerbils hoard food and are not normally coprophagic, unless diets lack adequate nutrient value. They thrive on commercially available pelleted rodent diets with 18–20% protein but may have deficiency problems when fed primarily homemade diets, sunflower seeds, or table scraps, which lack specific nutrients. Sunflower seeds are high in fat and low in calcium. Pelleted chow (5 g/day) has been recommended to avoid obesity. Gerbils develop high blood cholesterol concentrations on diets containing more than 4% fat. This is manifest as lipemia and is more pronounced in males.
Gerbils excrete little urine, and fecal pellets are hard and dry. Their cages require less frequent cleaning than other pet and laboratory rodents. Gerbils adapt to a wide range of ambient temperatures. Due to their propensity to develop nasal dermatitis at relative humidities above >50%, a low humidity is advisable.
Gerbils require sandbathing to keep their coats from becoming oily due to Harderian gland nasal excretions that are spread by grooming and sebaceous exudates from the skin. Sandbathing is usually completed within 5 min. The practice not only cleans and grooms the pelage but also deposits lipids on the substrate that act as olfactory signals. Additionally, it has homeostatic consequences. When sandbathing is prevented, accumulating hair lipids mat the pelage, and behavior changes. Sandbath-deprived gerbils increase their frequency of "sand rolls" (the gerbil rolls onto its side or back and returns to its feet within 1 second), decrease grooming, and increase territorial marking, especially in males.
Gerbils often stand erect on their hind limbs, so it is important that cages have a solid bottom and the floor-to-lid height is tall enough to allow for this behavior. Pet gerbils kept in inferior cages that are painted with lead paint or made of alloys containing lead have a high potential to develop chronic lead toxicity because of their gnawing behavior and the urine-concentrating ability of their kidneys. Chronically, gerbils become emaciated, livers are small and pigmented, and kidneys are small and pitted. Microscopically, acid-fast inclusions are noted in the proximal collecting tubules and hepatocytes.
The gerbil's overall appearance and behavior, particularly in relation to its cagemates, should be noted. Sick animals are often isolated from others and may demonstrate weight loss, hunched posture, lethargy, rough fur, labored breathing, and loss of exploratory behavior. Early signs of illness involve changes in the color, consistency, odor, and amount of urine and feces. The perineal area should be checked for fecal or urine stains or discharges from the vulva in females. Fecal samples may be taken for parasite detection and bacterial culture. The fur and skin should be examined for alopecia, fight wounds or other trauma, ectoparasites, and elasticity for evidence of dehydration. The oral cavity should be checked for overgrown teeth. Ears should be examined for discharges or inflammation and eyes for discharges or conjunctivitis. Feet should be examined for sores and overgrown or broken nails. The abdomen should be palpated for masses. The normal body temperature of gerbils is 98–102°F (37–39°C). The respiratory rate and any signs of labored breathing should be noted. The thorax can be auscultated with a pediatric stethoscope.
Gerbil tails are fragile. Animals should only be handled by the base of the tail to avoid damage.
"Facial eczema," "sore nose," and nasal dermatitis all describe a common skin condition seen in gerbils. Clinical lesions next to the external nares appear erythematous initially, progress to localized alopecia, and develop into an extensive moist dermatitis. The cause is believed to be increased Harderian gland secretion of porphyrins (similar to chromodacryorrhea in rats), which act as a primary skin irritant. Experimental Harderian gland adenectomized gerbils do not develop nasal or facial lesions. Various staphylococcal species (Staphylococcus aureus and S xylosus) may act synergistically to produce the dermatitis. Stress factors such as environmental humidity >50% or overcrowding cause excessive Harderian gland secretion. Nasal dermatitis infection may extend to the maxillary sinuses. Affected gerbils are anorectic, stop drinking water, lose weight and die. The distribution and nature of the lesions are useful in diagnosis. Accumulated porphyrins fluoresce under ultraviolet light (Wood's lamp). Routine bacteriology yields isolation of pathogenic staphylococci. Treatment includes careful cleaning of the skin lesions and the use of topical (chloramphenicol 1% ophthalmic ointment, tid) or parental antibiotics. (Streptomycin is fatal in gerbils and is contraindicated.) Prevention requires reduction of environmental humidity below 40% and reduction of sources of stress such as overcrowding or sandbath deprivation.
Naturally occurring Tyzzer's disease, an enterohepatic disease caused by the obligately intracellular bacterium Clostridium piliforme, is the most frequently described fatal infection of gerbils. Common clinical and pathologic findings are sudden death or death after a short period of disease, together with the presence of multiple foci of hepatic necrosis. Diarrhea and necrotic lesions in the intestinal tracts are variably present. The probable route of infection is by mouth, as gerbils exposed to infected bedding will contract Tyzzer's disease. Supportive fluids and prophylactic treatment with tetracycline or metronidazole are recommended to reduce mortality in cagemates. Because the bacteria form spores, the housing environment should be thoroughly sanitized and disinfected.
The Mongolian gerbil is susceptible to infection by Helicobacter pylori, which causes severe gastritis, gastric ulceration, and intestinal metaplasia. Gastric adenocarcinoma develops in approximately ⅓ of infected gerbils over 15 mo of age. Clostridium difficile-associated fatal enterotoxemia has been associated with treatment using nutritionally balanced triple-antibiotic wafers (containing amoxicillin, metronidazole, and bismuth) to eliminate naturally occurring Helicobacter infections. Affected animals are reported to die within 7 days of antibiotic treatment.
Naturally occurring viral infections of gerbils are not reported.
Syphacia obvelata, the mouse pinworm, and Dentostomella translucida, an oxyurid, are found in Mongolian gerbils. Pet store gerbils often are infected with mouse pinworms. D translucida is commonly found in the small intestine of both research and pet gerbils. There is an average of 4 parasites/animal, but no clinical signs are associated with the infection.
Infections with dwarf tapeworms, Hymenolepis diminuta and Rodentolepis (Hymenolepis) nana, are reported in pet gerbils. Dehydration and mucoid diarrhea are often presenting signs. R nana has a direct life cycle and may potentially infect humans if ingested. Recommended treatment is niclosamide fed at 10 mg feed/100 g body wt for two 7-day periods separated by 1 wk. Also effective are thiabendazole (0.33% mixed in the feed for 7–14 days) or praziquantel (5–10 mg/kg, IM, SC, or PO, repeated in 10 days).
There have been no reports of naturally occurring or experimental dermatophyte infections in the Mongolian gerbil. Other fungal infections in Meriones spp are exceedingly rare.
Gerbils develop spontaneous, insidious periodontal disease after 6 mo on standard laboratory rodent diets. On the same diets, ∼10% of the animals became obese, and some show decreased glucose tolerance, elevated serum immunoreactive insulin, and diabetic changes in the pancreas and other organs.
Thin skin covers the tail of the gerbil. Unlike rats or mice, if a gerbil is picked up by the tip of its tail, the skin will often slip off leaving a raw, exposed tail that eventually becomes necrotic and will shed. If the tail skin is lost, the bare tail must be surgically amputated where the skin ends.
Spontaneous neoplasia has been reported primarily in laboratory colonies of Mongolian gerbils. A 25–40% incidence of neoplasia in gerbils usually occurs after 2–3 yr of age. Squamous cell carcinoma of the sebaceous ventral marking gland in males and ovarian granulosa cell tumor in females account for 80% of tumors seen in animals >3 yr old. The ventral marking gland tumors invade locally and can metastasize to lymph nodes and lung. Adrenocortical tumors, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma, and renal and splenic hemangiomas are the next most commonly reported tumors. Numerous other tumors including duodenal and cecal adenocarcinoma, hepatic lymphangioma, hemangioma and cholangiocarcinoma, splenic and renal hemangioma, uterine leiomyoma and hemangiopericytoma, ovarian teratoma, testicular teratoma, and malignant melanoma have been reported. However, the total incidence of these tumors was <5%.
Case reports of spontaneous tumors in pet gerbils include infiltrative craniopha-ryngioma, histiocytic sarcoma, systemic mastocytosis, malignant melanoma, and astrocytoma.
A fatal syndrome of acute toxicity is produced in Mongolian gerbils following the injection of penicillin-dihydrostreptomycin-procaine combination. The toxicity is due to the dihydrostreptomycin component. A dose of 50 mg of dihydrostreptomycin causes 80–100% mortality in gerbils weighing 55–65 g.
Approximately 20–40% of gerbils develop reflex, stereotypic, epileptiform (clonic-tonic) seizures from around 2 mo of age. Animals seize in response to sensory stimulation and forced exploratory behavior, but the incidence and severity of their seizures are variable; the seizures generally pass in a few minutes, may be mild or severe, and have no lasting effects. Although the incidence and severity of seizures often decreases with age, certain subsets of adult gerbils do not improve with age but progressively worsen. The susceptibility is seen in selectively bred lines, but may occur in pet gerbils. Seizures may be suppressed in genetically predisposed gerbils if they are frequently handled during the first 3 wk of life. Anticonvulsant therapy is unnecessary.
Cystic ovaries occur frequently in Mongolian gerbils. Cysts range in size from 1–50 mm in diameter. Removal of affected ovaries does not significantly affect reproductive performance. Females with 1 ovary are slightly inferior in fertility compared with normal females; a general decline in fertility may be evident in older females.
Ventricular septal defects are seen occasionally in newborn gerbils.
In addition to neoplasia (see Neoplasia of Ferrets), aged gerbils have a high incidence of chronic glomerulonephropathy and focal myocardial degeneration and fibrosis, especially in males. Aural cholesteatomas occur in 50% of gerbils >2 yr of age. Cholesteatomas in the ear canal displace the tympanum into the middle ear. Compression and secondary infection result in bone necrosis and inner ear destruction. Clinical signs include head tilt.

Ever wonder why you see a limo driving around in small town USA? I mean typically you just don't see limousines riding around in small towns like you do the big cities. There are many opportunities to need a limo in a big city, because who wants to drive in all that traffic?
But in smaller towns, when you see someone in a limousine, you wonder many times who it might be or what the heck they may be doing. Is it someone famous? Or is it someone who would like to be noticed?
There are many reasons people take these luxurious rides. Some of the typical uses are weddings. No one wants to ride around after their wedding in their nasty ol hoopty, so a nice stretch might be a perfect addition to someones wedding party.
One use that you typically see in small towns is the funeral. Many funeral homes use limos to get people to and from the funeral home. I certainly hope most people get to experience a limo before that final ride.
Here in Auburn, we see many people getting a ride into town from Birmingham Limousine Service to the Auburn football games to tailgate. That way they can have a few drinks and enjoy the game then drive a couple hours back to Birmingham safely.
Many people like to make a special occasion for their kids for events such as homecoming and highschool prom. Proms and high school events can be extremely dangerous for kids to be out late and be on the road.
Many parents like the peace of mind that a limo can provide. The driver can pick the kids up at a central location to save time and cost, and the parents know where their kids are the whole time.
Professional drivers are like over paid baby sitters. There are many companies that have special rates etcetera for these types of activities. Because limo companies are booked many weeks or even months in advance for prom and homecoming, the rates can be significantly higher than normal.
Think about it, a limo must make money and supply and demand take over on busy weekends.
Football season is very busy for these operations. Many of these operations are family owned and they must book drivers in advance to take care of the load.
So next time you are wondering why a stretch or hummer or party bus is cruising around your small town, don't give it much thought. It is probably someone trying to entertain and enjoy life.
Or it may be for safety reasons. Someone may be wanting a safe ride for their kiddos.

Magnificence Everywhere
Magnificence in The Creation of Man
All the people around you have come to their present state after months spent in their mothers' wombs. For each of them the same perfect system was prepared in their mothers' body, and each of them passed through the same stages.
Birth is a great miracle. The baby who develops in its specially protected chamber prepared in the mother's womb, comes into the world after a certain period of time. The details of this miraculous event will lead every man who ponders it to very important conclusions. Let us reach this conclusion together by looking at a detail that is important for a baby's development:
The placenta is a flesh tissue formed by the woman's body in order to attach the fertilized egg to the uterus wall. It contains a soft structure of blood vessels destined to serve the developing baby. These vessels are like the branches of a tree. In the placenta, the mother's and baby's blood vessels intertwine and exchange materials. The two bloods never mix, but nutrients and oxygen cross from the mother's blood into the baby's blood while wastes move out of the baby's blood, ultimately to be excreted by the mother.43 This function of the placenta is very important because this tissue must both meet all the needs of the baby and also be selective in order to protect it. What makes this exchange possible for the placenta is a thin membrane called the "chorion." This membrane separates the baby's blood circulation from that of the mother. By virtue of this membrane, the blood of the mother cannot enter the baby's vessels. The baby receives only oxygen and nutrition through this membrane.
The nutrition a baby needs in its first months is different from what he needs in the eighth and ninth months, on the verge of birth. The placenta must also adjust for this in the consumption of nutrients. As a matter of fact, the placenta carries out all these functions in a flawless way. It is always sensitive to how much it should take from what in a selective and careful way. Here, there are some questions which should be asked and points to be remembered.
First of all, there is the question of how a placenta that is a tissue consisting of cells can make these computations. Also, the question of how the placenta is aware of the needs of the baby needs an answer too. A person with intelligence will immediately see that a piece of flesh called a placenta cannot do these things on its own and could not have acquired such features by chance. In this case, the fact we come across is again very obvious: Allah created the placenta with characteristics that meet the needs of the baby in the mother's womb. The miracle of birth is another example that displays the magnificence of Allah's artistry in creation. We are reminded of this fact in the Qur'an:
O man! What has deluded you in respect of your Noble Lord? He Who created you and formed you and proportioned you and assembled you in whatever way He willed. (Surat al-Infitar: 6-8)
An Advanced Air-Conditioner, a Perfect Perceiver: Skin
At the moment, you can easily turn the pages of this book because your hands do not create any problems in grasping the texture of the pages. In a similar way, you can also hold and carry objects with smooth surfaces like a glass, for example. You can feel softness when you touch a feather and hardness when you hold a stone. Perceiving all this and sending necessary signals to your brain, your skin has the characteristics that enable you to visualize the objects in your brain.
A great number of nerves exist in the fingertips. This provides you with facility in movement and does not cause any inconvenience. On the other hand, in "less important" regions, on a man's back for example, there are fewer nerve endings present. This is a very important advantage. Now, let's assume the opposite: Let's assume that our fingertips are quite insensitive while nerves are arranged in greater numbers at the back of our bodies. This, undoubtedly, would be very troublesome. In such a situation while we could not use our hands properly, we would feel the slightest object touching our back, the folding of our clothing, for example.
Human skin is a complex organ consisting of many layers, containing nerves for perception, circulation canals, airing systems and heat and moisture regulators which protect the body like a shield against the rays of the sun. Because of this, a man can be in great danger if a part of his skin is damaged. Under the skin is a layer consisting of fat. This layer of fat serves as insulation against heat. Over this layer is another one, most of which consists of proteins that give the skin elasticity.
If we were to lift the skin and look just one centimeter (0.4 inches) below it, the sight greeting us would be an unaesthetic, even frightful sight, where fats and proteins and various blood vessels exist. By means of the feature that enables it to cover these structures, the skin both provides a very important aesthetic contribution and also enables us to protect ourselves from outside factors. It will be sufficient to remark upon a couple of the functions of the skin that makes it vital for us and to ponder on them in order to understand the importance of its existence.
Human skin prevents the disturbance of the water balance of the body, is strong and elastic, can repair itself, protect the body from harmful rays, maintains contact with the outside world, and protect the temperature of the body in cold or hot weather.
Human skin, which functions as a sensitive detector and an advanced air-conditioner meeting all kinds of needs, is a blessing that has been created by Allah, with the beauty it provides visually and the features it has to protect man. The skin, about which many pages of books have been written, once again displays Allah's magnificence in creation to us.
The Power of Bones' Lattice Systems
Our bones, which assume very important roles such as carrying and protecting the body, were created with the capacity and strength to carry out these functions. The human thighbone, for example, has the capacity to carry a weight of one ton. Indeed, with each step we take, a load that is 3 times heavier than our body weight is imposed on this bone. In fact, when a pole-vaulter lands on the ground, every centimeter of hipbone is exposed to a pressure of 1,400 kilos (3,086 pounds).
In order to have a full grasp of the perfection of the design of bones, let us make a comparison as follows: One of the strongest and most useful materials man uses is steel, because steel is both strong and flexible. However, our bones are both stronger and 10 times more flexible than solid steel. Also, bones are much more lightweight than steel. A carcass made of steel would be 3 times heavier than a human skeleton.
It is also instructive to compare the perfect design of bones with modern construction techniques. Until the second half of the twentieth century, the task of constructing tall buildings was costly and time consuming. However, with various technological advances, many new construction design techniques have been developed. One of the most important of these is known as "lattice systems." Under this system, the carrying components of construction consist not of a single piece but are made of numerous rods crossing each other in the form of a lattice. With the help of complex calculations made by computers, impressive bridges and industrial structures can be built much more strongly and cost-effectively using this technique.
The interior structures of bones are also built with the same lattice system that we now use in bridge and building constructions. When a bone is cut and examined, a very interesting system is seen in its interior design. Crossing each other, thousands of small rods form a complicated structure. This structure is essentially the lattice system built inside bones. By means of this, our bones are both very strong and light in such a way that we can use them easily.
If the opposite was the case, in other words if the insides of our bones were hard and completely filled, the weight of the bones would be much higher than the weight we can bear and they would crack and break at the slightest blow.
The structure of bones, which man tries to imitate by using today's technology, is only one example of the matchless creation art of Allah. Everyone needs to see the magnificence of Allah's perfect and unique creation in his own body and be thankful, reflecting upon it.
The World's Greatest Distribution Network: The Circulatory System
Let us imagine a city with 100 trillion households. Do you think there can be a distribution company capable of fulfilling the demands of all the households in this city? Most people would say, "Of course not." However, a similar system already exists in the human body. But the houses in the human body are cells, and the distribution company is the circulatory system with its numerous components.
The components of the circulatory system visit approximately 100 trillion cells in the human body one-by-one. The nucleus of this system is the heart. The heart, which has 4 different lobes pumping fresh and spent blood without mixing them to different regions of the body and with valves functioning as security flaps, has a design established with very delicate balances.
When we examine the heart, we see that it doesn't consist merely of a pump but also of valves that determine the direction of the pumped blood. They ensure that the blood pumped by the heart muscles moves in exactly the right direction. Furthermore, the heart is connected to both lungs and the rest of the body by major blood vessels. The vessel leading to the body separates into branches which, in turn, separate into small branches in a continuing process. This separation goes down to the capillary veins which then expand as larger veins until they return to the heart again. They go to the lungs to rid themselves of the carbon dioxide in the blood and fill up on oxygen instead.
When this circulatory system is examined, which includes the heart, the blood vessels and the lungs, a complex system is revealed. When you add to this the kidneys, which are in charge of cleansing the blood, the pancreas, which adjusts the sugar level in the blood by secretion of insulin or glucagon, the liver, which keeps the chemical content of the blood under control, and the members of the immune system in the blood, a magnificent structure appears. Every piece of this complex system is in harmony and they are connected to each other in a well-arranged way. All these harmonious elements serve a common purpose. If only one piece were absent, defects would occur in the system. This could cause a situation that might end with the death of the person owning this circulatory system.
A heart cannot keep a body alive more than a minute without the lungs that clean the blood which the heart pumps. The circulatory system came into being with all of its parts intact, at a single moment. This, then, shows a perfect design, that is creation, of the heart and the circulatory system and illustrates the matchless creation art of Allah, the Lord of all worlds.
The Lungs' Impressive Design
Your lungs are organs that adjust themselves according to your movements. When you run, your lungs work faster and meet your increased oxygen needs while they work slower when you relax, yet never stop. Throughout your life, your lungs continuously work like an air pump. They pump air in and out. As they do so, they operate in harmony with other components of the respiratory system because, in order to breathe, the lungs alone are not sufficient. One needs an exterior power to make the lungs work. This power is provided by the muscles that lie between the ribs and the diaphragm, just under the rib cage.
Look at yourself as you breathe. You will see that your ribs move outwards. At that moment, the diaphragm under the lung expands downwards and the lungs get bigger. The lungs draw in the air from the trachea. When exhaled, the rib cage is drawn inwards and the diaphragm under the ribs moves upwards. As the lungs are compressed, the air present in small air sacs is pushed outside through the trachea.
Running, laughing, walking, lying down… You do these movements without thinking, yet during all these different movements, an automatic respiration control system is at work in your lungs which determines the oxygen needs of your body. During motion, the body cell activities increase and the cells consume more power and energy. For this reason, approximately 100 trillion cells in the body need more oxygen than usual. Besides this increase in the need for oxygen, the carbon dioxide produced by the cells must be expelled from the body immediately. If the increased demand for oxygen is not met, the whole body will suffer. Because of this, respiration increases. In other words, the lungs work faster.
This vital situation is again accomplished by means of a miraculous system. The region called the "brain stem" contains receptors which continuously control the carbon dioxide level in the blood. If the carbon dioxide concentration gets too high, the receptors in the brain stem signal the respiratory centers to increase the rate and depth of breathing. In addition to the brain stem, there are also various receptors in the lung that modify breathing. These receptors respond when the lung and chest wall swell from internal pressure in a way as to prevent inhalation. In this case, these receptors send signals to the respiratory center to decrease the depth of respiration. These processes are repeated every day, every second, and every moment without ever stopping.
It is surely impossible to claim that this system, consisting of many balances complementing each other came into existence by itself as the result of blind coincidences. The respiratory system of the human body is just one of the examples of the creation art of Allah.
Control Center: The Brain
The human brain has a system that can carry out many tasks at the same time. For example, because of the perfect structure of the brain, a person, while driving a car, can both adjust his cassette player and turn the steering wheel easily. Although he does several different things at the same time, he does not run into other cars or passengers. In addition, he can operate the accelerator pedal with his foot. He can understand what is said as he listens to the radio. He can continue to speak from the point where he left off. And, most importantly, he can direct all of these things in a perfect way, at the same time. In short, by means of the extraordinary capacity of the human brain, man can handle many things at the same time. What provides this harmony are the connections of the nerve cells in the brain.
Millions, even billions, of stimuli coming to the brain from the outside world are analyzed in the brain in harmony, then are evaluated and the necessary responses are given to each one. The operation of this complicated system continues to function all through one's life without any interruption. Thus, we see, hear, feel and continue our lives.
One of the most important elements constituting this perfect system in the brain is that of the nerve cells, which number approximately 10 billion.44 The nerve cells of the brain, unlike other cells, transmit and process information through creating and conducting small electrical currents.
The force that makes connections among cells and, therefore, harmony in the brain is found in the special structure of nerve cells. About 10 billion cells in the brain have about 120 trillion connections. And these 120 trillion connections are in just the right places. If any one of these connections was in the wrong place, the outcome would be very serious. In fact, it would be impossible for people to carry out their vital functions. Yet, such a thing does not happen and human beings, except for exceptional illnesses, lead a life which comes very naturally to them while, in reality, there are trillions of miraculous processes taking place behind the scenes.
This structure working interdependently in the brain is also, like all the other systems in the human body, one that has a perfect design at every stage. The reason for the brain's performing its millions of functions without any mistake or disorder is the fact that Allah, the Owner of endless wisdom, has created it along with all its features.
And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the living creatures that He has scattered through them: and He has power to gather them together when He wills. (Surah Ash-Shura, 29)

Nereid is one of the outermost of Neptune's known moons and is among the largest. Nereid is unique because it has one of the most eccentric orbits of any moon in our solar system. Nereid is so far from Neptune that it requires 360 Earth days to make one orbit. This odd orbit suggests that Nereid may be a captured asteroid or Kuiper Belt object or that it was greatly disturbed during the capture of Neptune's largest moon Triton.
Nereid was discovered on 1 May 1949 by Gerard P. Kuiper with a ground-based telescope. It was the last satellite of Neptune to be discovered before Voyager 2's discoveries four decades later.
How Nereid Got its Name:
Moons of Neptune are named for characters from Greek or Roman mythology associated with Neptune or Poseidon, or the oceans. Irregular satellites are named for the Nereids, daughters of Nereus and Doris and the attendants of Neptune.
Nereid (NEER-ee-ed) is named after the Nereids, sea-nymphs, in Greek mythology. Kuiper proposed the name when he reported his discovery.
