Happy Friday Miguel, a friend sent me the link in an email and I just found it fascinating and thought others might enjoy it too and I also believe God created the universe. :)

Hi Evelyn,

I don't know exactly why this video has impressed me so much. I think it is the beauty of the beads' waving motion plus a (likely) deeper meaning: In the controversy of creation versus evolution, it could be a definite proof that the universe was really created and not a product of evolution from chaos, as many contend. Like it was God's spell that simply put the universe in motion from an act of supreme will.

Hugs,

Miguel

P.S. I hope this belief of mine is not too far-fetched, lol.

Hello everyone, I thought this video was fascinating. Hope you enjoy it. :)

Fifteen uncoupled simple pendulums of monotonically increasing lengths dance together to produce visual traveling waves, standing waves, beating, and (seemingly) random motion.

Well Miguel, to me the turtle is not beautiful but the fact that such a majestic creature even lives is. I guess one reason I don't think it's beautiful is because it's head looks too much like a snake's and I hate snakes, always been terrified of them ever since I can remember.

When I flew back to Tennessee back in December the lady in the seat beside me told me she raises giant tortoises. She lives in a neighboring town and comes to one of the grocery stores near where I live each morning to get all the lettuce leaves and other vegetables and etc they throw in the garbage to feed them with. Not sure why she raises them, like a dummy I forgot to ask her. :)

Hi again Evelyn,

On an entirely different note, here is an article that I found strangely attractive. Again I am not sure why, I don't think it is the turtle's beauty... or is it?

"Bigger-than-a-Man" Sea Turtle Returned to Ocean: Video Surprise

There is an absolutely magical video in this story. You won’t want to miss it. And please, please sign the petition at the bottom of the page.

Written by Marina Fastigi, Ph.D. Kido Foundation

In the beautiful Caribbean tri-island Nation of Grenada, Carriacou and Petit Martinique, unfortunately it is still legal to hunt, kill and sell (for local consumption) endangered species such as Sea Turtles. 11 years ago, the government approved a ban of leatherback turtle hunting, of all nesting turtles, of juveniles under 25 pounds and of turtle eggs harvesting. Unfortunately, Hawksbill (critically endangered), Green and Loggerhead (both endangered) are still legally hunted for eight months every year and there is no effective enforcement of the present laws.

Teams of local guides and volunteers of Kido Foundation in Carriacou and Ocean Spirits in Grenada (both non-profit organizations) patrol the main nesting turtle beaches at night, discouraging the poaching of eggs and the killing of turtles, but the beaches outside of our monitoring range remain open killing fields for poachers of mothers and their eggs.

Children instinctively understand the need to protect animals.	We created this life sized replica of a leatherback turtle for our Turtle Awareness Days.	Education is essential to creating a future for the sea turtles.

More than 300 Rescued Already

Our Kido Foundation Rescue Team has rescued 314 mature sea turtles from the slaughter and released them back to the sea. These rescues were possible because we were able to purchase the turtles from fishers willing to sell. The alternative was to let them suffer for days, upside down under the sun and be slaughtered by decapitation or to be chopped to pieces while still alive. Caring visitors, volunteers and some locals often contributed to pay for the turtles’ freedom.

We rescued another 1,000 pound leatherback a few days ago (see video). Fishermen who catch leatherbacks know it is illegal, but claim that these are by-catch in their nets while targeting other legal species.

Please sign the petition below

The State of Grenada could help saving the last remaining turtles of the Caribbean by adopting serious anti-hunting laws and promoting economic advantages in sea turtle watching for tourists. We need your help. Please take just a few seconds to sign the petition below.
