Animal species near to extinction according to Red List 2008 of Threatened Species

An extinction crisis continues to ravage the planet's animals and plants, according to the new Red List of Threatened Species. Roughly 38 percent of the world's known species are near extinction, according to a comprehensive survey done to create the 2008 Red List of Threatened Species.

There are 44,838 species on the 2008 Red List, compiled by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

Thirty-eight percent of Red List species are close to extinction, with 25 percent of all mammals on the verge of oblivion. The Red List is an annual "health check of the planet.

For the 2008 list, for the first time, every known amphibian, mammal, and bird was assessed.Species unlucky enough to make the list are grouped into eight categories, from "least concern" (low risk of extinction) to "critically endangered" (extremely high risk of extinction in the wild in the near term).

Red flags you may unintentionally be giving off in interviews

Not getting calls back from your interviews? There may be something more subtle in your behavior that could be causing prospective managers to say, “No, thank you.”

We’ve all heard about, and I’ve written about, things that you should avoid doing in interviews. But there are some things that you should avoid that you may not even know you’re doing.Here are some:

Dwelling on your certifications

It’s admirable that your e-mail signature is followed by 37 initials indicating the certs you’ve racked up. But try not to let a listing of your certs be the centerpiece of your qualifications. While you think this might be telling the interviewer how knowledgeable you are, it really may be telling her that you’ve spent more time studying and taking tests than you have in dealing with the technology in the real world. When you overemphasize your certs, an interview may think you don’t know how to use the technology in a practical sense.

Grey Wolf in snow


Wolf in winter always inspires me. It has a grace. may be it is effect of many movies that i have seen about mysteries of wolves and vampires. :)

Lion rides horse


A lion rides a horse in a circus show as part of celebrations to mark National Day, the 59th anniversary of the founding of communist China.

The circus is one of many events held during the week-long holiday, which has seen millions of people flooding China's tourist destinations, according to the Xinhua news agency.

Cable Stayed bridge


Opening ceremonies are held on the newly constructed Megyeri Bridge, which crosses the Danube between Buda and Pest, the west and east sides of Budapest.

The cable-stayed bridge, which spans 6,109 feet (1,862 meters), is part of a ring road, the MO, north of the Hungarian capital. It is expected to reduce traffic on the Aprad bridge by 20 percent, according to the Budapest Times.

Video glasses: the long transition from sci-fi to reality

Mobile TV is one of those technologies that’s been rattling around for a good few years without yet making much impact. The problem it always comes up against is that mobile gadgets are meant to be small, but screens have to be big enough for comfortable viewing.
Video glasses are one potential solution, and judging from the evidence on display at CES this year it won’t be long before they provide an inconspicuous, comfortable way of watching TV and DVD while on the go.
Previous attempts have generally been bulky, odd-looking and the picture size and quality has been little better than you would get from a mobile phone. The Lumus glasses pictured above are not exactly indistinguishable from standard shades, but you wouldn’t get laughed at on the train.

How to guard against ID fraud threat

Despite the Revenue’s huge blunder in losing millions of our personal details, there are still ways that families can protect themselves. Millions of families have been put on red alert against the risk of identity fraud after tax officials lost the personal details of 25m people.Europe’s biggest loss of confidential information sparked a nationwide search for two computer discs containing the addresses, National Insurance numbers, bank account numbers, and sort codes, of families receiving child benefit.There are fears the details, lost by Revenue & Customs, could be a goldmine if they fall into the hands of criminal gangs. Fraudsters could use the information to steal people’s identities, open bank accounts and take out loans or credit cards in their name.
