Are you someone who finds it hard to show your true feelings? Aquarian’s are some of the most straightforward members of the zodiac, but fessing up about the delicate area of love, is another matter. Venus helps you for the next four weeks, and you might surprise yourself by just how at ease you are. Opening up may not be so bad after all.

Certain interrelations can prove wonderfully upbeat, perhaps even surprisingly romantic. However, this can also be a time when people surprise you by being more outspoken about what they say. They may not mean this personally, but if they spot part of your attitude, they may not hold back in expressing their critique. Just what comes up may amaze you.

Turning Back The Hands of Time

The turritopsis nutricula species of jellyfish may be the only animal in the world to have truly discovered the fountain of youth.

Since it is capable of cycling from a mature adult stage to an immature polyp stage and back again, there may be no natural limit to its life span. Scientists say the hydrozoan jellyfish is the only known animal that can repeatedly turn back the hands of time and revert to its polyp state (its first stage of life).

The key lies in a process called transdifferentiation, where one type of cell is transformed into another type of cell. Some animals can undergo limited transdifferentiation and regenerate organs, such as salamanders, which can regrow limbs. Turritopsi nutricula, on the other hand, can regenerate its entire body over and over again. Researchers are studying the jellyfish to discover how it is able to reverse its aging process.

Because they are able to bypass death, the number of individuals is spiking. They're now found in oceans around the globe rather than just in their native Caribbean waters. "We are looking at a worldwide silent invasion," says Dr. Maria Miglietta of the Smithsonian Tropical Marine Institute.

Oklahoma Home of Tarantulas

So I was just hanging out on my front porch when I saw a rather large spider traveling around our country property. Turns out this large spider happened to be none other then a Brown Tarantula, native to Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas. So naturally I had to take a better look and luckily for me I had quite a few factors on my side. Which consists of two very important facts to the relationship concerning curious humans with large arachnids.

1. The Oklahoma Brown Tarantula is one of 900 species; however this particular species is not highly venomous and in fact ranges among the least venomous species of tarantula. Should you get bitten the procedure is: application of a cold compress to the area, and if swelling or rash occurs, seek medical attention.

2. The Oklahoma Brown Tarantula; which I encountered was male. The lesser aggressive of the two genders. Though aiding this fact the Oklahoma Brown Tarantula is renowned for it's docile nature.

Interesting Tarantula Facts

1. They like to vacation in Guiana
2. They churn out 500 - 2,000 eggs depending on species
3. The largest species of tarantula is the Goliath Birdeater. This spider has a 12 inch leg span and weighs a quarter of a pound.
4. The female tarantula can live 20 - 40 yrs. While male tarantulas may only live 2 mths to 3 yrs.
5. The most widely favored tarantula is the Chilean Rose Tarantula
6. Tarantulas can only suck, which means anything taken into it must be in liquid form. If the prey is a mouse (or something of that nature), it must be crushed and ground up or predigested, which is accomplished by coating the prey with digestive juices that are secreted from openings in the fangs.
