I can’t believe this. In this Britains Got Talent show (like the one in USA), this guy named Paul Potts, who works in a mobile phone warehouse, received a standing ovation for his unspoken talent. Truly astounding.

The #1 winner of the show will have a chance to perform his/her talent in front of the Queen. Do you think he can take the crown among all competitors? Watch to find out.

Hmm… very interesting….

The horn size of male Alpine ibex – a cousin of the mountain goat residing in the Alps – correlates with genetic diversity and reproductive success.

Bigger horns = better genes

Size matters. At least, it does to an alpine ibex.

According to a team of international researchers, mature, male alpine ibex demonstrate a correlation between horn growth and genetic diversity. Past research studies have shown that greater genetic diversity correlates with a greater chance of survival.

“The size of the horns reliably advertises the genetic quality of the ibex - and the bigger, the better,” said David Coltman, an evolutionary geneticist at the University of Alberta and co-author of the study, which was published this month in the journal Molecular Ecology.

The researchers found that horn sizes among younger ibex (one- to six-years-old) are relatively similar regardless of their genetic diversity. However, once the ibex mature to the age when they begin competing for reproductive mates (seven to 12), horn length varies according to genetic diversity: the greater the diversity, the greater the length of the horns.

Well, Canada Day is less than a month away. I’ve been searching on the website for any special events that might happen on July 1st. To my disappointment, I can’t find any.

I’m aware there are many “regular” events held in Alberta Legislature Building, such as free pancake breakfast in the morning, 21 gun salute at noon, cultural dance & music in the afternoon, and fireworks at 11pm. But are there any events held elsewhere in Edmonton? Or, any non-traditional events?

Please let me know! Post the web link below by leaving a comment. Thanks.
