Borneo's Mount Kinabalu, Flesh Eating, Giant Red Leech Swallows huge Blue Earthworm like Spaghetti [ VIDEO-Pics ] - www.ofINTEREST.net




For the first time, BBC filmmakers in the forests of Borneo's Mount Kinabalu have documented the so-repulsive-it's-captivating behavior of a large, red, worm-guzzling predator as part of their upcoming new series "Wonders of the Monsoon". While the predator remains unclassified by science, the animal is known to the area's tribespeople, fittingly, as the "Giant Red Leech."

The Giant Red Leech is one of the biggest in the world. The specimen captured on camera was around 30cm long but experts believe they could grow larger.
They have grown so big that they no longer simply suck blood but now actively hunt giant blue worms and suck them down like spaghetti. The worm it is eating is a whopping 78cm.
The new footage shows the leech detecting a worm's trail and following the scent like a sniffer dog.
When it encounters its prey it quickly latches on and moves its lips up and down the iridescent blue body.
"It was either searching for an end to grab, or was working out whether it was too big to eat" said documentary director Paul Williams.
"When it found an end it started to suck. It was incredible."
That this ambitious leech is roughly half the length of the worm it's eating only makes the footage more impressive. 

A big thanks to Paul Williams and the Giant Red Leech for this fascinating footage – and for ruining spaghetti for everyone, forever.

Wonders of the Monsoon will air on BBC 2 at 8pm on Sunday October 5th:

Series producer Paul Bradshaw said: “This is natural history set in the planet's most glorious and dramatic theatre - the lands of the monsoon. 

“It's an incredibly rich mixture of extraordinary creatures, great and small, with some of the planet’s most colourful and ancient cultures, all bound together through the story of this rampaging weather system.”

Infected Ant via Alex Wild

In the jungles of Belize last January, entomologist Alex Wild noticed something odd about the trap-jaw ants passing through his outdoor insect photography class: They all had shrunken heads and swollen abdomens. A day after making the observation, Wild and his students came upon an ant with a worm bursting out of its side. Parasites were at work. Nematode worms enter the ants as larvae and grow inside the ants' body cavity, siphoning off nutrients and distorting their hosts' natural anatomy. When the eight-inch-long nematodes are ready to mate a few weeks later, they push their way out of their half-inch-long hosts, killing them.

INFECTED

In the abdomen of a trap-jaw ant, a parasitic nematode lives off nutrients from the surrounding fluids and changes the morphology of its host.

HEALTHY

The jaws of a parasite-free worker can snap shut on prey in just 1/10,000 of a second—the fastest known mechanical action in nature.

Fun fact:
 when they're not bursting at the seams with squirming parasites, trapjaw ants are capable of clamping their mandibles shut somewhere in the range of 35 to 64 meters per second (~78–145 miles per hour). The average duration of a trap-jaw clamp is just 0.13 milliseconds, making it among the fastest predatory strikes in the animal kingdom.

Trap-jaw ant, Odontomachus brunneus


In 2006, a team led by UC Berkeley biologist Sheila Patek used high-speed videography to determine that a trap-jaw's mandibles can accelerate at 100,000 times the force of gravity, and exert a force powerful enough to send its body soaring through the air in a defensive maneuver known as an "escape jump" (seen above). Below is another example of a different evasive maneuver (called a "bounce defense jump") with a more horizontal trajectory, from the same study:

This video shows a trap-jaw ant (Odontomachus bauri) that fired its jaws against a hard surface and launched itself into the air (filmed at 3000 frames per second, played back at 30 frames per second).

Police searching for missing UVA student, 18, release last known footage of girl as it's revealed she texted friends at 01:20 am to say she was lost on way to party near her own house 

  • Hannah Elizabeth Graham, 18, was reported missing on Sunday on campus
  • Texted friends at 01:20 am on Saturday to say she was lost on the way to meet them
  • But according to Charlottesville police, she failed to arrive for the party
  • Surveillance shows her running along a corridor the night she went missing 
  • Family and friends have not heard from the second year student since 
  • Her parents are from England but she lives in America on a Green Card
Police have released CCTV images of a University of Virginia student on the night she disappeared after failing to show up for a party after texting to say she was lost near her own home.

Authorities are desperately searching for Hannah Elizabeth Graham who was reported missing near the Charlottesville campus on Sunday.

The 18-year-old texted her friends at 1.20am on Saturday to say she was lost on the way to a party near to her home at the Camden Plaza Apartments but never arrived. 

The same friends told police she had been drinking beforehand and last night surveillance images were released by police showing her running inside her apartment block at 9.30pm on the night she went missing.

At the request of the family her address is not being made public.

Last known pictures: Police have released this CCTV footage of Hannah Elizabeth Graham, 18, on the night she disappeared after failing to show up for a party

Search: University of Virginia officials have launched a huge hunt for the missing second year student in nearby woodland. Her parents are from England and she lives in the US on a Green Card

Friends and family have not heard anything from the second year student, whose parents are from England, since and police have launched a desperate search for her in wooded areas. 

It shows what she was wearing on the night she disappeared. Police have said she was 'fairly well intoxicated', according to CBS6.

Her friend, Sophia Lamrissi-Garcia, who was partying with Hannah at one of her sorority events, told the station she had considered getting a cab home, but decided she would walk instead. 


Appeal: Friends and family of the student have asked anyone with any information to call UVA police


Hunt: Police in Charlottesville have announced they are seeking any information from the public as they search for Hannah Elizabeth Graham


Hannah's parents are originally from the north of England - and she has spent at least two years in the United States

Her neighbor, Sam Blum said that he is devastated and worried about her disappearance.
'I saw her on Thursday…she seemed really happy,' said Blum to WTVR. 'Downtown Charlottesville, I wouldn’t expect that.'

The search area for Hannah is being focused around 14th Street Northwest to Wertland Street, including the railroad tracks, near to the UVA campus.

That was where she sent her last text to friends explaining she was lost.

UVA President Teresa Sullivan released a statement Monday afternoon saying the university is both concerned and cooperating fully.

'The members of the University of Virginia community are united in our deep concern for a UVa student who is missing and has not been in touch with her family or friends since early Saturday morning,' said Sullivan according to the Roanoke Dispatch.

Students who didn't know Hannah said they were worried about what it means for campus security,
"I think it's real tragic when anything like this happens," said Brannon Johnson, 4th year at the university to the Roanoke Dispatch.

"It definitely questions everything in terms of safety and how everyone is going to react and move around grounds for sure."

"It kind of hit home that something like this can really happen," said Madison Baril, 1st year at the university.
'Before it was kind of more like stories and warnings, but now it's a real person that's gone.

"If you are with a group of girls, make sure you leave with a group of girls," said Baril. 'Find friends don't wander off with people you just met.'
 

Hannah, who is not a US citizen is 5'11" with blue eyes and light brown hair. She is said to live off campus

Hannah, who is not a US citizen is 5'11" with blue eyes and light brown hair. She lives off campus, is from Northern Virginia and resides in the US using a Green Card.

"As some of you may have heard, Hannah Graham is missing. She was last seen leaving Camden Plaza around 11:50 late Friday night and last heard from a little after 1am, Saturday," one post shared on Facebook states. 

'On Sunday, her friends and family realized that none of them had seen or had contact with her since Friday night and a call was placed to the Emergency Communications Center by her friends, reporting her missing,' said Lt. Ronnie Roberts, of the Charlottesville Police Department to the Daily Progress.

"Police detectives responded immediately and have been working to find Hannah since learning of her disappearance. A search using a bloodhound was conducted Sunday evening, but that search did not turn up anything useful."

Anyone with information is asked to call Charlottesville Police Department at 970-3280 or Crimestoppers at 977-4000.

David Cawthorne Haines, a Briton, purportedly Beheaded by Islamic State ( IS ) due to Corrupt U.S.A. & U.K. Policies related to GREED [ WARNING: FULL Graphic VIDEO / Pics ] - www.ofINTEREST.net

David Cawthorne Haines, a Briton, purportedly Beheaded by Islamic State (IS) due to Corrupt U.S.A. & U.K. Policies related to GREED [WARNING: FULL Graphic VIDEO / Pics]

Mikhael Love, IIO



The Islamic State group has released what it says is the beheading of British aid worker David Haines - an act described by the British prime minister as "pure evil". Remember though, both the United States of America top dog & the UK's prime minister both have their heads and keep out of harms way. Slaves pay the price for their mistakes and lies.


The video, released on the internet on late on Saturday, shows Haines, 44, being killed by in a desert location by a masked man. Haines, from Perth in Scotland, was abducted last year while working for the French aid agency Acted.

The US and the UK both seemingly have policies that they DO NOT pay off Terrorist, but in fact, for decades both make use a back-handed way of paying off dangerous, even murderous, criminals, that by any other description, are TERRORIST. This is done for some of the time tested reasons of Profit/Gain and/or Control.

Both men have come forth with declaring retaliation against IS. Sound familiar, but with different players (actors)?

The Department of State, aka State Department, has engaged in quite questionable practices and dealing with KNOWN very dangerous and even TERRORIST connected groups throughout the world. The State Dept. in the Benghazi ordeal intentionally put Americans in harms way all for Profit/ Gain and/or Control. Remember all of the finger pointing, lies, cover-ups and/or DECEPTION? They still refuse to come clean.

With having first had dealings with coming to find out the hard way about Department of State CORRUPTION and the USA's willingness to destroy even it's own citizen, I implore others to not stand down, nor stay complacent with tales, demand TRUTH!

Not to take away and/or express disrespect in any form or fashion with these purported beheadings, but my torture and first hand knowledge of Evil & Corruption at the hands of the USA, forced me on a sojourn that was designed by the State Department, and the Truth is a whole lot more unbelievable than fiction: Documentary-maker Lee Halpin meets death living Homeless in U.K. (Pics/VIDEO)

For me, it's not about conspiracy, it's about Truth. Demand It! DO Not be their fool!
Slaves aren't being told the whole Truth, let alone even a fraction of the Truth.

There is definitely something more taking place behind these purported beheadings.
Perhaps the world should be looking back in history with looking how these wars are brought on. Who, why, what and for WHOM do these actually serve.

What is it that "Islamic State" actually wants?

Are Smoke and Mirrors being used?


What is it that the USA, UK & others might actually seeking to gain?

Demand that even slaves are told the Truth!

The Islamic State group’s power is focused in Iraq and Syria, but there are groups far beyond those borders who have aligned themselves with the armed rebel group. Several small rebel groups in the Philippines have pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group. Al Jazeera’s Jamela Alindogan reports from Manila.

How the West Created the Islamic State

 September 13th, 2014

“This is an organisation that has an apocalyptic, end-of-days strategic vision which will eventually have to be defeated,” Gen Martin Dempsey, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, told a Pentagon press conference in August.

Military action is necessary to halt the spread of the ISIS “cancer,” said President Obama. Yesterday he called for expanded airstrikes across Iraq and Syria, and new measures to arm and train Iraqi and Kurdish ground forces.

“The only way to defeat [IS] is to stand firm and to send a very straightforward message,” declared Prime Minister Cameron. “A country like ours will not be cowed by these barbaric killers.”

Missing from the chorus of outrage, however, has been any acknowledgement of the integral role of covert US and British regional military intelligence strategy in empowering and even directly sponsoring the very same virulent Islamist militants in Iraq, Syria and beyond, that went on to break away from al-Qaeda and form ‘ISIS’, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or now simply, the Islamic State (IS).

Since 2003, Anglo-American power has secretly and openly coordinated direct and indirect support for Islamist terrorist groups linked to al-Qaeda across the Middle East and North Africa. This ill-conceived patchwork geostrategy is a legacy of the persistent influence of neoconservative ideology, motivated by longstanding but often contradictory ambitions to dominate regional oil resources, defend an expansionist Israel, and in pursuit of these, re-draw the map of the Middle East.
