It's also the place of many phantasmagorical photographs ever captured, photographer Nick Brandt finds frightening scene. There, there are many species of birds and bats were quiet, stiff, fossilized, after exposure to the deadly waters of the lake.<br /> <br /> "Nobody knows for sure how these animals die, but it looks like the reflection of the extreme surface of the lake makes them confused and make them plunged into the lake," said Brandt in his picture book Across the ravaged Land.<br /> <br /> "The water of the lake contains soda and salt levels that are very high. So high that it can destroy the Kodak film ink box belong to me in a few seconds. A mixture of soda and salt causes living beings calcify, perfectly preserved so they dry."<br /> <br /> Lake Natron is inhospitable to life. It only used as a breeding area endangered Lesser Flamingo, and is home to several types of algae and bacteria.<br /> The color of the lake is red that come from bacteria that live in the lake. Salty lake is steaming hot, with temperatures can reach to 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees Celsius), according to New Scientist.<br /> <br /> Brandt are photographing animals calcify in 2010 and 2012. He was so amazed with the preservation process. Every detail recorded properly. "Until the tip of the bat’s tongue is still preserved," he told The Huffington Post in an email.<br /> <br /> The animals were so hard as a rock so that Brandt could put them in a place they usually live. So, the photos here is set up such that the animals are like to live back in the real world. It could be said zombie life.<br /> <br /> These are some shots from Brandt:<br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;

Some of you could already knew about this, but I bet this information would be great for our next generation. So, without further ado, here are the list:<br /> <br />1. Lee Kuan Yew, was born as Harry Lee Kuan Yew on September 16, 1923. He ruled Singapore for three decades and is recognized as the founding father and "Architect of Modern Singapore".<br /> <br />2. Lee Kuan Yew actually aspires to become a lawyer, but since he took the first step towards politics in 1951, he then stop pursuing it. He starts as the member of pro-British Progressive Party in election, Yew eventually known as one of the premier with the longest tenure in the world.<br /> <br />3. Yew is the fourth generation of Singapore and her great-grandfather, Lee Bok Boon had emigrated from Dabu County, Guangdong Province, China, Singapore in 1863.<br /> <br />4. Lee Kuan Yew had studied at the London School of Economics for very short time before moving to the University of Cambridge, where he graduated with double First Class Honors that are very rare.<br /> <br />5. After leaving Cambridge, Lee Kuan Yew decided to eliminate its English name, Harry, and simply known as Lee Kuan Yew. But close friends still call him 'Harry Lee. "<br /> <br />6. On several occasions, Lee identified as an agnostic, even though as a child he grew up with Chinese folk religion. In 2009, Lee Kuan Yew identified himself as a member of the community of Buddhist / Taoist.<br />That are some interesting facts on Lee Kuan Yew the founding father of Singapore. Farewell Mr. Lee, hope there will be another great politician like him who is willing to do all the best he could to build their own country. In the end, it will make the world a better place I hope.<br /><br /><i>source: intisari-online<br />by: articlemostwanted</i>

Inspired by the Fantastic Four, Hudson and his wife Heather convinced the Canadian government to found Department H, which would be tasked with assembling a team of super humans indigenous to the Great White North.<br /><br /><b>Wanted: A Leader</b><br />The project was implemented using a three-tiered training system: new recruits or those whose powers proved unstable would be assigned to Gamma Flight. Those whose command of their abilities required further training formed the basis of Beta Flight. The front line, the active members whose job it would be to rout any superhuman threats to the nation, were Alpha Flight. <br /><br />Hudson intended that the man known as Logan (Wolverine) or Weapon X, whom he and his wife had nursed back to sanity after years living in the Canadian wilderness, would lead Alpha Flight. However that task fell to Hudson himself when Logan was recruited by Professor X to become a member of his X-Men team. <br /><br />Alpha Flight endured a rocky relationship with the Canadian government, being cast aside, then drafted back into military service. And while the Beta and Gamma Flight units produced some heroes who went on to serve with Alpha Flight, such as Puck, the programs were perverted for evil purposes, forming the nucleus of the sinister Omega Flight, Alpha's opposite number. Still, the members of Alpha Flight soldiered on, through deaths and resurrections, strange transformations and sudden reversals-loyal to their mission of protecting their homeland.<br /><br />When the rest of Alpha Flight had been abducted by the alien Plodex, Sasquatch assembled a new, oddball squad. This team included the 97-year-old Centennial, Major Mapleleaf, the son of a World War II-era hero, the deadly Nemesis, PUck II (Puck's daughter), and the mysterious Yukon Jack. Whether these heroes will stay in Alpha Flight remains to be seen.<br /> <br /> <i>source: Marvel 2006</i>
