Love is in the air !

Have you ever think why some people are more attractive when you smell them? The pheromone is a biochemical signals which can impact in other people without even noticing. As in the animal kingdom, sex pheromones can indicate us the range of attraction to different people. This is a kind of mechanism that we all have that influences, unconsciously, our decision about attraction. 

Scientists have begun to figure it out why the odor of some people influences the sexual attraction. Even though people can consciously appreciate some smells, pheromones are not consciously perceived. According to some studies, scientists believe that we have a gland, in the top of our nose, which is called veromonasal organ. This is supposed to be the responsible of detecting the sexual pheromones in other people, but some other scientists reject this idea. If indeed we have that gland in our nose, our brain couldn't be able to decode these signals. 

We have to be aware that as we belong to the animal kingdom, all our responses are, at the end, natural and primitive. Obviously that in contrast to animals, our main sense to feel attraction to other people is our sight, but we have to know that a good reception of pheromones can make a difference in our future relationships. Do you believe that our brain can detect the pheromones? What would happen if as we smell the perfumes, we can also smell and feel our pheromones?

Endangered bees!

    Our daily life depends on cell phones. We love them; actually, some of us cannot live without them. It is sure... they take an important part in our entire life. Nevertheless, while we are happy using them, environment has been hugely affected. Radiation can be dangerous for people as it can be for insects such as bees. 

    Scientists may have found the cause of the world's sudden dwindling population of bees. This research has shown tha the signal from cell phones not only confuses bees, but also may lead to their death. Bees sense the signals transmitted when the phones ring, and emit heavy buzzing noise during the calls ( as you can see in the picture). The calls act as an instinctive warning to leave the hive, but the frequency confuses the bees, causing them to fly erratically. In fact, the bees' buzzing noise increases ten times when a cell phone is ringing or making a call. The signals cause the bees to become lost and disoriented. The bees then die off, because they are not able to do their normal activities. This premature dying off of the bees causes the fruits and vegetables to not grow as normal, simply because pollination does not occur. This affects the harvest, which can have a significant impact upon the world's food stores now and in the future. In this webpage you can get informed about the enormous importance of bees in the ecosystem. 

    Mobile radiation effects can include loss of food crops and can decrease the food for animals that are used for meat, including cows, chickens, and more. This is worrisome! simply because we are not completely sure what the long-term effect may be. It should be something that needs to be carefully monitored to help determining if there is anything that can be done to decrease the dying off of bees to keep crops growing and the harvest strong. We know that cell phones may be convenient for people of all ages and sexes, but the long term effects may be difficult to live with. When will people be aware of this issue? Will be possible to take actions to stop this before it is too late?  Is technology indeed more important than nature, life, and earth?
