Form Oxygen Southwest: Fill & Download for Free

There is no scientific literature on the subject. While it's possible ants can detect barometric pressure better than we can, the only evidence of this is stories and urban legends that never come with an identification of the species. In other words, nothing trustworthy or usable.Don't despair! Ants are still awesome, because even if they cannot predict the rain, they respond to it quickly. A flooded ant nest would mean the drowning of the colony, so once the rain starts to fall ants are very quick to respond. In less than a minute, the entire colony will be mobilized. Some ants have specially built nest chambers that stay dry and oxygenated while the rest of the nest fills with water. Others evacuate.Fire ants in the Southwest USA have a special response: the entire nest evacuates, including the queen. Workers even carry eggs and larvae and pupae in their mouths. They then form a living raft, with the queen in the center and the waterproof pupae and [expendable] older workers on the bottom. They float around until they bump into a plant, or dry shores, or until the waters recede. Then they make a new colony. Talk about disaster preparedness!

What has been the most successful military operation in history?… Viewer Discretion is advised…Following the September 11, 2001 attacks on the US by Al-Qaeda the US along with the UK began Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. The SAS received orders to attack a large opium processing and storage facility, guarded by 60 - 100 zealous Al-Qaeda militants that are dug-in around the facility… Codename: Operation Trent.5th November 2001, 10:35 hrs - Number 10 Downing Street the Prime Minister was chairing a Cobra meeting. One of the items on the agenda was an opium processing plant that was located 250 miles Southwest of Kandahar, “Prime Minister, this in my hand is a feasibility report of Operation Trent. The proposed assault on an Al-Qaeda opium processing facility.” Director Special Forces, Brigadier Graeme Lamb handed the file to the PM.“Haven't our allies the Americans put this facility low on the list of priorities and in doing so suggested that this place be destroyed from the air, Brigadier?” The PM questions.“We have credible intelligence from a reliable source and he’s informed us about there being documentation inside the opium facility as to the whereabouts of Osama Bin Laden.”“And why, Brigadier, should we trust this ‘reliable’ source?” The PM gives the Brigadier a quizzical look.“Because he's the only one of our men who has infiltrated the plant. Although, sadly, last week he was extracted because his identity was discovered.”“I see… OK. Make it happen, Brigadier Lamb.”Afghanistan 17th November 2001, 22:00 hrs - At the opium facility, Khaled is one of the few volunteers from another country thats volunteered his services to the Al-Qaeda’s cause. Now manning a DShK heavy-machine-gun in one of the makeshift bunkers.“Khaled, do you think the non-believers will come?” one of Khaled's fellow Al-Qaeda ‘brothers’ asks.“Yes, since we discovered that non-believer amongst us, it is only a matter of time.”Khaled as an after thought adds, “They will pay in their blood brother, when they try to break through our trench lines, bunkers, caves and compounds.”17th November 2001, 28,000 feet, 23:59 hrs - Air troop of the SAS, are about to HALO jump into the desert from a C130 aircraft. Their job to secure and mark out a Landing Zone for six C130s that would be landing troops from A and G Squadrons of the SAS. The C130s will also be loaded with Land Rovers so they also need to ensure that the desert floor can support this air armada.Captain Jack Michael Lee, after seeing the pilot, is walking back down the plane when he was stopped by one of his troopers, “Scusi stewardess, we almost there yet?”Captain Jack Lee rolled his eyes,”You should be a stand-up comedian… not!” Both men break out in large grins.“Three minutes to exit, they're de-pressurising now!" Jack Lee informs the rest of the troopers.“On your feet… check equipment!” Everyone checks their spare chutes, helmet straps and as they’re jumping from high altitude they double check their oxygen masks and cylinders.“Exit positions… Red light on!” Jack Lee is shouting as hard as possible as he's wearing an oxygen mask.The aircraft's rear ramp opens and… “Green on!”… “GO!!!” And with that air troop are out and freefalling from 28,000 feet at terminal velocity.18th November 2001, 05:00 hrs - The main body after landing safely; along with 36 Land Rovers known as Pinkies, of A and G Squadrons numbering 120 men begin the drive from the Landing Zone towards a Forming Up Point that Air Troop have only just recce’d a few hours earlier. Once formed up, they'd then be driving towards their target.At 11:00 hrs local time - The battle is about to commence, G Squadron have lined up their Pinkies and formed a Fire Support Base (FSB) with the purpose of keeping the Al-Qaeda/Taliban fighters heads down as the assault goes in. The Pinkies are armed with .50 Cal Browning Machine Guns, Milan missiles, 7.62 mm General Purpose Machine Guns… Basically enough armament to start World War Three.“Hello Charlie Charlie One, this is Alpha One Zero (A10), I've got fast air inbound in three zero seconds… out.” Captain Jack Lee is letting all SAS callsigns know that an airstrike is about to start in 30 seconds.Jack Lee paints-the-target with his laser designator as soon as he hears the approaching F-18 Hornet Multirole fighter.The F-18 pilot, callsign Aries is on the radio to Jack Lee, “A10 this is Aries; do you copy?”Jack Lee acknowledges the pilot, “A10 roger... over.”“Do we have a target A10?” The F-18 pilot asks.“We do Aries, it's an Al-Qaeda/Taliban's Command Post (CP) and the target-is-lit… over.”To which Aries replies, “Target is acquired and lit-up… going into the attack!”“Bombs away, 30 seconds to impact.” The pilot releases his AGM-64 Maverick missile and its homing in on its designated target, the Al-Qaida's CP - BOOM!!! Target is destroyed. And that's the cue for the FSB to let-rip with all the firepower they've got; it's armageddon on the Al-Qaeda and Taliban positions.After 10 minutes of Jack Lee designating more targets to Aries the F-18 pilot, the pilot reluctantly says, “A10, I'm low on fuel and out of ammunition; sorry, I'll have to call it a day… but please, have a nice day.”“Thanks for that Aries, look after yourself… out.” and with that Aries banks away.At 12:00 hrs local time - Air troop and A Squadrons momentum has been slowed down by an Al-Qaeda sniper. “Has anyone seen the enemy?” Jack Lee, behind cover is yelling to his men, but no one can see the Al-Qaeda sniper.But someone has, A Squadrons very own sniper; callsign Bravo One Zero (B10) and he’s got the Al-Qaeda sniper cold in his sights. Just like being on the ranges back at Hereford, he places the butt of his L115A sniper rifle into his shoulder. Subconsciously he goes through the marksmanship principles and ensures when firing the weapon, his position and hold is firm, that he’s pointing naturally at the target and his aim is correct… He takes up the first pressure of the trigger then - BANG.“Hello A10 this is B10, target neutralized, you can now move… over.”A relieved Jack Lee replies, “A10, roger… I'll be buying you a pint when we get back… out.”B10 gins at Jack Lee's offer of a nice cold pint whilst operating the bolt of his sniper rifle, ejecting the spent brass cartridge case.Khaled and his comrades try to trick the SAS by retreating through the tunnels carved into the landscape. But they've mistakenly taken a wrong turn and are now enclaved within a cave with no where to escape; the only light at the end of this tunnel are sitting on the approaching Squadron A's weapons.At 12:45 hrs local time - After almost two hours of fighting A Squadron and Jack Lee's Troop have reach their objective; using maglite torches on their weapons they start to clear the caves of the enemy.Camped with a couple of brothers, Khaled prays and lays in waiting to ambush the non-believers. And as the SAS step into the light, tempted into the seemingly empty lair, Khaled and company attempt to bring their grizzly weapons to bear. But the SAS preempt the attack and are quick to react, closing in as they open fire - drowning them all in a hailstorm of bullets.At 14:00 hrs local time - The SAS get their intelligence in the form of two laptops along with lots of paperwork. The SAS Squadrons now complete a tactical withdrawal, extracting their four wounded comrades by a US CH-47 Chinook helicopter, and the rest go back to the Landing Zone to be picked-up by C130 transport aircraft.Aftermath - The number of awards for the SAS was two CGC, one DSO, two MCs and several MiDs. The strategic significance of the facility have never been fully explained.I've tried to tell you about this operation in a how-I-saw-it-go-way. The British infiltrator, Khaled the Al-Qaeda member and the brave Captain Jack Michael Lee were characters I've created and placed them into the true events of Operation Trent

What specific evidence is there that supports microbes to man’s evolution, without the need to make unprovable assumptions about the unseen and untestable past?First of all, anyone who thinks that the old lame creationist, “were you there claim”, has any credibility, is either blinkered or perverse.unprovable assumptions about the unseen and untestable past?We have subjects called forensic science, archaeology, palaeontology, geology, astronomy, and cosmology, so unless they are uneducated in, or are unaware of, the existence of these subjects, the assertion in the question, is merely a statement of the questioner’s use of assertion and assumption as a personal mode of thinking, which is then projected onto others.All of these subjects use evidence to establish records of the past, - often as a basis for fairly accurate predictions of on-going events.Personal ignorance of the evidence or of evidence gathering techniques, is not a credible argument for their non-existence.◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙ ◙What specific evidence is there . . . .First there is evidence of the formation of amino acids both in space from interaction of molecules and radiation, and in some atmospheric and volcanic reactions on Earth. Then there is the chemistry of ancient rocks which inform us about the atmosphere oceans and surface materials on early Earth.That is about the chemical origins of life, which is not included in this question, so I will supply this link and leave that question at this point.Alan Appleby's answer to Evolutionists estimate the probability that “life arose by itself” is practically 0. Why do so many people believe in the theory?What specific evidence is there that supports microbes to man’s evolutionFor about the first two billion years + ALL life on Earth was single cells of Archaea and Bacteria, which contained DNA, so there was nothing else, more complex organisms could have evolved from at this time.Furthermore the atmosphere contained no significant percentage of oxygen, so there were no oxygen breathing organisms. All life was marine, in what would to present day fish be utterly toxic anaerobic water. The geology and chemistry of the rock strata of that time confirms this. There is no evidence of any land plant or animal life.As I show on the above link, photosynthesising cyanobacteria evolved, and the oxygen they released very gradually over millions of years. changed the atmosphere of Earth so that it contained free oxygen, - after it had rusted all the dissolved iron into iron ore.On my above link:- The organisms were dependent on chemosynthesis for energy sources, as are some modern ones, which live around hydrothermal vents, in hot volcanic springs, or in the anaerobic mud at the bottom of stagnant ponds, lakes or swamps.Like these, early organisms lived under water. The colonisation of the land came later in time.Cyanobacteria evolved and converted CO2 into oxygen by using photosynthesis instead of chemosynthesis.Stromatolite - WikipediaFossilized stromatolites provide records of ancient life on Earth.By Paul Harrison - Photograph taken by Paul Harrison (Reading, UK) using a Sony CyberShot DSC-H1 digital camera., CC BY-SA 3.0, File:Stromatolites in Sharkbay.jpgModern stromatolites in Shark Bay, Western AustraliaAfter the freed oxygen had oxidised all the accessible iron (into iron ore) and other materials, free oxygen built up in the atmosphere, poisoning and killing many earlier life forms, and opening up the Earth for the evolution of oxygen breathers. Oxygen also forms Ozone, which screens surface dwellers from harmful radiation.We then have both DNA evidence and the fossil record of Chordate and vertebrate life evolving once there was a niche on Earth for oxygen breathing organisms in the oceans of the Earth.By Piotr Michał Jaworski; PioM EN DE PL - Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0, File:BranchiostomaLanceolatum PioM.svgAnatomy of the cephalochordate Amphioxus. Bolded items are components of all chordates at some point in their lifetimes, and distinguish them from other phyla.The first animals with spinal chords and rudimentary backbones were Chordates. Chordate - WikipediaThese evolved into fish, some of which developed first fins for improved swimming, and then fins which could be used for walking on the sea floor.Evolution of fish - WikipediaSome of these moved into tidal zones and swamps and gradually became amphibious.From water to landLobe fins are rare among living fish and are only possessed by the coelacanth and lungfish. However, lobe limbs are possessed by many living organisms — including humans. That's because we, and in fact all tetrapods (four-limbed vertebrates, many of which live on land), share a more recent common ancestor with the coelacanth and lungfish than we do with ray-finned fishes. We tetrapods are sarcopterygians too!Tetrapods evolved from a group of organisms that, if they were alive today, we would call fish. They were aquatic and had scales and fleshy fins. However, they also had lungs that they used to breathe oxygen. Between 390 and 360 million years ago, the descendents of these organisms began to live in shallower waters, and eventually moved to land. As they did, they experienced natural selection that shaped many adaptations for a terrestrial way of life. Like other terrestrial sarcopterygians, modern humans still carry the evidence of our aquatic past in the way our arms and legs attach to our bodies, as well as in the many other features that link us to our fishy origins.Evolution of tetrapods - WikipediaBy Graphic by dave souza, incorporating images by others, as description - Own work by uploader using commons sources, CC BY-SA 4.0, File:Fishapods.png - Wikimedia CommonsWe can see on the chart below, the stages of the evolution of fins into arms, legs, and hands.The origin of tetrapodsEvolution over millions of years is a vast subject and the subject of thousands of published papers and books, so to summarise, here is a link to the timeline.Timeline of human evolution - Wikipedia85–66 MaPlesiadapisCarpolestes simpsoniA group of small, nocturnal, arboreal, insect-eating mammals called Euarchonta begins a speciation that will lead to the orders of primates, treeshrews and flying lemurs.63 MaPrimates diverge into suborders Strepsirrhini (wet-nosed primates) and Haplorrhini (dry-nosed primates).15 MaHominidae (great ape ancestors) speciate from the ancestors of the gibbon (lesser apes).13 MaHomininae ancestors speciate from the ancestors of the orangutan.10 MaThe clade currently represented by humans and the genus Pan (common chimpanzees and bonobos) splits from the ancestors of the gorillas.10–4 MaSahelanthropus tchadensisThe latest common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees is estimated to have lived between c. 10 and 4 Ma. Both chimpanzees and humans have a larynx that repositions during the first two years of life to a spot between the pharynx and the lungs, indicating that the common ancestors have this feature, a precondition for vocalized speech in humans. Speciation may have begun shortly after 10 Ma, but late admixture between the lineages may have taken place until after 5 Ma. Candidates of Hominina or Homininae species which lived in this time period include Ouranopithecus (c. 8 Ma), Graecopithecus (c. 7 Ma), Sahelanthropus tchadensis (c. 7 Ma), Orrorin tugenensis (c. 6 Ma).3.6 MaAustralopithecus afarensisA member of the Australopithecus afarensis left human-like footprints on volcanic ash in Laetoli, Kenya (Northern Tanzania), providing strong evidence of full-time bipedalism.2.5 to 2.0 MaHomo habilisHomo appears in East Africa; with most Australopithecines they are considered the first hominins—that is, they are designated (by some) as those earliest humans and human relatives or ancestors to rise after splitting from the lineage of Pan, the chimpanzees. Others consider the genus Pan as hominins also, and perhaps the first hominins.Sophisticated stone tools mark the beginning of the Lower Paleolithic.1.9-0.5 MaA reconstruction of Homo erectusHomo erectus derives from early Homo or late Australopithecus. From its earliest appearance, H. erectus (in Africa also known as Homo ergaster) is distributed in East Africa and Southwest Asia. H. erectus later migrates throughout Eurasia, and is described in a number of subspecies.H. erectus is also the first known species to develop control of fire, by about 1.5 Ma.Evolution of dark skin at about 1.2 Ma.800–300 kaReconstruction of Homo heidelbergensisDivergence of Neanderthal and Denisovan lineages from a common ancestor.Homo heidelbergensis (in Africa also known as Homo rhodesiensis) had long been thought to be a likely candidate for the last common ancestor of the Neanderthal and modern human lineages.300–130 kaFossils attributed to H. sapiens, along with stone tools, dated to approximately 300,000 years ago, found at Jebel Irhoud, Morocco yield the earliest fossil evidence for anatomically modern Homo sapiens. Modern human presence in East Africa (Gademotta), at 276 kya.There are then the various successive waves of migrations out of Africa, of Modern humans.
