The Philippine Eagle is Now Critically Endangered

 The Philippine Eagle was said to be near extinction, yet, as sad as it may seem, people are not that eager to save them. The Philippine eagle (Pithecophaga jefferyi), also known as the monkey-eating eagle or great Philippine eagle, is a critically endangered species of eagle of the family Accipitridae which is endemic to forests in the Philippines. It has brown and white-colored plumage, a shaggy crest, and generally measures 86 to 102 cm (2.82 to 3.35 ft) in length and weighs 4.04 to 8.0 kg (8.9 to 17.6 lb). The Philippine eagle is considered the largest of the extant eagles in the world in terms of length and wing surface area.

The largest numbers of eagles reside on Mindanao, with between 82 and 233 breeding pairs. Only six pairs are found on Samar, two on Leyte, and a few on Luzon.

How to Overcome Depression Without Medication

In our daily lives, there are times that we are suffering from something far serious than we thought and more often than not, we tend to ignore it and try to keep it to ourselves. We didn’t even realize that we are suffering from DEPRESSION, ANXIETY and MISERY. There are times that we try to win that battle without letting our relatives, friends and colleagues know, we even fake our happiness to tell them there’s nothing wrong… It helps to know the facts that it is a medical condition and not “laziness” to overcome depression, or a temporary response to normal grief and/or discouragement.

Expensive Medieval Coins and Rare Gold Rings Found in Poland

What could you possibly find digging rocks and soil and mud? With the help of a priest and local firefighters, a medieval stockpile brimming with silver ingots, gold rings and more than a handful of silver coins was recently discovered in a Polish cornfield by an archaeologist. "Lord, may you help your servant Maria," it was written or rather engraved in a Gold Ring, writings is in Cyrillic inscription. The nearly 900-year-old hoard, found in SÅ‚uszków, a village in west-central Poland, held a one-of-a-kind treasure. That ring may have belonged to a princess; the coin stash was certainly fit for one. "The newfound hoard consists of over 6,600 items — silver coins and silver clumbs (tiny ingots) … wrapped in three linen pouches, packed in a basket and then put in the ceramic vessel," Adam KÄ™dzierski, an archaeologist at the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnology at the Polish Academy of Sciences, told Live Science in an email.

The 1906 Ruler of Philippine Peso

Considering reports that a few neighborhood gatherers or collectors sell probably interesting coins at a cost higher than the first sum or its original amount, general society is prompted not to succumb to such tricks or scam. As per Kuya Kim's (Kim Atienza, one of the Journalist here in the Philippines) Friday report (April 22, 2022) on "24 Oras" be that as it may, there is a peso coin esteemed at nearly Php 1 million. This is the 1906 US-Philippine peso coin, which is otherwise called the ruler of Philippine peso. According to Wiki, from 1903 to 1906, the silver coins had a silver content of 90%, while those struck after 1906 had a reduced silver content of 75% for 10 through 50 centavos and 80% for the peso. In both cases the silver was alloyed with copper. Made of 90% silver, the coin is supposed to be uncommon with only under 200 pieces in presence.

Filipino Innovator Kyxz Mendiola's Koncepto Millenya, A One-Seater Flying Car

In our generation today, flying cars are slowly becoming a reality. According to Wiki, a flying car or roadable aircraft is a type of vehicle which can function both as a personal car or automobile and as an aircraft. As used here, this includes vehicles which drive as motorcycles when on the road. The term "flying car" is also sometimes used to include hovercars. Many prototypes have been built since the early 20th century, using a variety of flight technologies. Most have been designed to take off and land conventionally using a runway, although VTOL projects are increasing. None has yet been built in more than a handful of numbers. Their appearance is often predicted by futurologists, and many concept designs have been promoted. But their failure to become a practical reality has led to the catchphrase "Where's my flying car?” as a paradigm for the failure of predicted technologies to appear. Flying cars are also a popular theme in fantasy and science fict

Collectible Vinyl: The Wu-Tang Clan: Once Upon a Time in Shaolin

Nostalgia, that longing feeling for the past when things seemed better, easier, and more fun. That’s exactly how I feel every time I see things that has been considered Vintage. That old television our family have for years, yeah, programs are still in black and white. What should we be talking about here are those Vinyl records that are collecting dust down the basement. We’re gonna try to research about these records if we can salvage a decent sell. According to Wiki, a phonograph record (also known as a gramophone record, especially in British English), or simply a record, is an analog sound storage medium in the form of a flat disc with an inscribed, modulated spiral groove. The groove usually starts near the periphery and ends near the center of the disc. At first, the discs were commonly made from shellac, with earlier records having a fine abrasive filler mixed in. Starting in the 1940s polyvinyl chloride became common, hence the name vinyl. The phonograph record was the p
