The great hammerhead shark (Sphyrna mokarran), is the largest species of the Hammerhead shark group.
It can be identified by the shape of its "hammer" (called the "cephalofoil"), which is wide and has an almost straight margin at the front, and by its first dorsal fin which is tall, and is sickle-shaped.
thumb|left|250px|The underside of the Great hammerhead shark
Like all other Hammerhead sharks, the Great Hammerhead Shark has a streamlined body and a "hammer" on its head.
They have usually been confused with the Scalloped Hammerhead Shark and the Smooth Hammerhead Shark, but adult Great Hammerhead Sharks can be identified by their wide cephalofoil which has an almost straight margin at the front, and by their first dorsal fin, which is tall and sickle-shaped.
The cephalofoil is usually around 1 to 1.5 meters long.
Great Hammerhead Sharks are around 2.85 to 5.5 meters long, and weigh around 450 kg, but the longest ever found was 6.1 meters long.
The heaviest ever found was a 4.4 meter long female, which weighed 580 kg, and was caught off Boca Grande, Florida.
But the female weighed this much because it was pregnant.
The top part of the Great Hammerhead Shark is grey-brown or green, and the belly is white.
The Great Hammerhead Shark is found in tropical waters around the world, between the latitudes 40°N to 37°S. In the Atlantic Ocean it is found from North Carolina to Uruguay, including the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, and from Morocco to Senegal, and the Mediterranean Sea.
It is found all along the rim of the Indian Ocean, and in the Pacific Ocean from the Ryukyu Islands to Australia, New Caledonia, and French Polynesia, and from southern Baja California to Peru.
It's said to be found off Gambia, Guinea, Mauritania, Sierra Leone, and Western Sahara, but this has not been confirmed.
Great Hammerhead Sharks can be found from inshore waters which are less than 1 meters deep, to a depth of 80 meters offshore.
They live mainly in coral reefs, but have been found in lagoons and deep water near land.
Even though Great Hammerhead Sharks are apex predators, young pups have been seen eaten by Bull sharks.
Yellow jacks have been seen rubbing themselves against Great Hammerhead Sharks, probably to get rid of parasites.
Pilot fish have been seen swimming with Great Hammerhead Sharks.
Great Hammerhead Sharks are viviparous, meaning they give live birth.
Females are pregnant for around 11 months, before giving birth to a litter of 6-56 pups.
When they are born, the pups are around 50–70 cm (20 to 28 in) long.
Males mature when they are about 2.3 to 2.8 meters long, and weigh around 51 kg.
Females mature when they are about 2.5 to 3 meters long, and weigh around 41 kg.
Great Hammerhead Sharks live for around 20–30 years, but the oldest Great Hammerhead Shark ever found was said to be 40–50 years old.
Great Hammerhead Sharks are known to hunt at dawn and at dusk.
They feed on crustaceans like crabs and lobsters, molluscs like squids and octopuses, bony fish like tarpon, sardines, herrings, sea catfish, toadfish, porgies, jacks, croakers, groupers, flatfish, boxfish, and porcupine fish.
They also eat other sharks like smoothhounds and grey reef sharks.
Great Hammerhead Sharks have been known to eat others of their kind.
Great Hammerhead Sharks' favourite prey are rays and skates; its favourite type of ray are stingrays.
The venomous spines of the stingrays don't seem to affect them, because a Great Hammerhead Shark caught off Florida had 96 venomous spines found in and around its mouth.
The cephalofoil of the Great Hammerhead Shark is said to be used to pin stingrays down, because one Great Hammerhead Shark was found attacking a southern stingray in the Bahamas; the Great Hammerhead Shark first pinned the stingray down by hitting the stingray with its cephalofoil, and then it grabbed the stingray in its jaws and started to rip apart the stingray by shaking its head rapidly.
Another Great Hammerhead Shark was found attacking a spotted eagle ray in open water; the Great Hammerhead Shark first bit off one of the ray's pectoral fins, and then pinned the ray down with its cephalofoil, and then ate the ray head-first.
Although they have been said to be dangerous towards humans, Great Hammerhead Sharks rarely ever attack humans.
Divers have reported that Great Hammerhead Sharks are shy and avoid humans, but there have been reports of Great Hammerhead Sharks approaching divers closely and even chasing them.
In 2009, the International Shark Attack File listed 34 attacks caused by a shark which belonged in the Sphyrna genus, but it is not confirmed if the shark was a Great Hammerhead Shark or not.
The Great Hammerhead Shark has been confirmed to be responsible for one provoked attack.
The Great Hammerhead Shark has been listed as endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), because of fishing for its fins, which are made into shark fin soup, for its skin which is made into leather, and their liver oil for vitamins.
Populations of the Great Hammerhead Shark have decreased by 50% because of fishing.

When it was completed it was the tallest building to the west of the Mississippi River.
It is built not to fall in wind up to  and earthquakes of up to 9.1 magnitude.
This gives protection against an earthquake as powerful as the 1700 Cascadia earthquake.
The tower also has 25 lightning rods on its roof to protect it against lightning.
The Space Needle has a deck at , where people can look down and look at the view around them.
It also has a gift shop with a rotating SkyCity restaurant at .
From the top of the Needle, the Downtown Seattle skyline, the Olympic and Cascade Mountains, Mount Rainier, Mount Baker, Elliott Bay and islands around it can be seen.
Photographs of the Seattle skyline often show the Space Needle.
Visitors can reach the top of the Space Needle by using elevators.
These elevators travel at .
The trip to the top takes 41 seconds.
Some tourists wait in hour-long lines so that they can go to the top of the tower.
On windy days, the elevators are slowed down to a .
The Space Needle was made a historic landmark on April 19, 1999, by the city's Landmarks Preservation Board.
Sapeornis is a genus of primitive bird which lived during the Lower Cretaceous about 125120 million years ago (mya).
Only one species is known: Sapeornis chaoyangensis.
The fossils are from the Jiufotang Formation and Yixian Formation rocks in the People's Republic of China.
Several nearly complete skeletons have been found.
Sapeornis is named after SAPE, the Society of Avian Paleontology and Evolution, added to the Ancient Greek όρνις (ornis), meaning "bird".
chaoyangensis is Latin for "from Chaoyang".
This animal was about 30–33 cm long.
The skull has a handful of teeth in the upper jawtip only.
A single tail feather has been found on one of the specimens.
It may have been a glider or soarer rather than an active flier.

True owls (typical owls) are owls of the family Strigidae.
They are one of the two families of owls, with 189 living species in 25 genera.
The other family is the barn owls.
True owls are found on every continent except Antarctica.
The division of owls into these two groups is quite ancient.
The relationships of the owls in general are still unresolved.
Typical owls vary greatly in size.
The smallest is the elf owl.
Its weight is a hundred times less than the largest, the Eurasian eagle owl and Blakiston's fish owl.
Most owls have very similar bodies.
They have large heads, short tails, and round facial circles around the eyes.
Most live in trees (with a few exceptions like the burrowing owl) and get their food on the wing.
The wings are large, broad, rounded and long.
Like other birds of prey many owls have females that are larger than males.
Because of this the plumage is not much different between males and females.
The feathers are soft and the base of each is downy.
This give them silent flight.
Hearing in owls is highly sensitive.
The ears are asymmetrical which lets the owl localise a sound.
Owls have massive eyes relative to their body size.

Vinson Massif is the highest mountain of Antarctica.
It is in the Sentinel Range of the Ellsworth Mountains.
The massif is about  from the South Pole.
At  the highest point is Mount Vinson.
It was named in 2006 after Carl Vinson, long-time member of the U.S. Congress from the state of Georgia.
Though the yearly snowfall on Vinson is low, high winds can cause base camp accumulations up to  in a year.
During the summer season, November through January, there are 24 hours of sunlight.
The average temperature during these months is .
Barn-owls (family Tytonidae) are one of the two families of owls.
The other is the true owls, Strigidae.
They are medium to large sized owls with large heads and heart-shaped faces.
They have long, strong legs with powerful talons.
The barn owls are a wide ranging family.
They are not found in northern North America, Saharan Africa and large areas of Asia.
They live in a wide range of habitats from deserts to forests, and from temperate latitudes to the tropics.
The barn-owls' main characteristic is the heart-shaped facial disc, formed by stiff feathers.
The feathers help to amplify and locate the source of sounds when the bird hunts.
Adaptations to the wing feathers eliminate sound caused by flying.
This helps both the owl's hearing, and keeps the prey unaware of the owl.
To summarise: the owl hunts mainly at dusk and night-time.
Its uses sound to detect prey movement: its hearing is sensitive, and its wings are almost silent.

A mousebird is one of a small group of birds.
They are not closely related to other groups of birds.
Though they and the parrots and cockatoos (Psittaciformes) may be closer to each other than to other birds.
The mousebirds are given order status as Coliiformes.
This group only lives in sub-Saharan Africa.
They had a wider range in prehistoric times and apparently evolved in Europe.
They are typically about 10 cm in body length.
They have a long, thin, tail a further 20–24 cm in length.
They weigh 45–55 grams.
They are arboreal and scurry through the leaves like rodents, in search of berries, fruit and buds.
This habit, and their legs, is the reason for the group's English name.
They can feed upside down.
They have crests and stubby bills.
Mousebirds are very talkative.
They are found in bands of about twenty in lightly wooded country.
These birds build cup-shaped twig nests in trees, which are lined with grasses.
2–4 eggs are typically laid.

There was competition between Celera and the publicly funded Human Genome Project, which got much comment.
Eventually, they agreed on a certain amount of co-operation.
Genomics is the part of genetics which studies the genomes of organisms.
This includes the entire DNA sequence of organisms and fine-scale genetic mapping.
The field also includes studies of genes working together.
Examples are heterosis, epistasis, pleiotropy and other interactions between loci and alleles within the genome.
Genomics applies recombinant DNA, DNA sequencing methods, and bioinformatics to sequence, assemble, and analyze the function and structure of genomes.
This is the complete set of DNA within a single cell of an organism).
In contrast, the investigation of the roles and functions of single genes is a primary focus of molecular biology or genetics and is a common topic of modern medical and biological research.
Research of single genes unless it involves the entire genome.
"The term "genomics" encompasses a broader scope of scientific inquiry associated technologies than when genomics was initially considered.
A genome is the sum total of all an individual organism's genes.
Thus, genomics is the study of all the genes of a cell, or tissue, at the DNA (genotype), mRNA (transcriptome), or protein (proteome) levels".

Warrior (born James Brian Hellwig; June 16, 1959 – April 8, 2014)) was an American professional wrestler.
Hellshaw legally changed his name to Warrior in 2002.
He was the biggest star of the 1990s.
His career had a boost when he defeated Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania VI, and it was also Hulk Hogan's first Wrestlemania loss, firstly before defeated by The Rock at WrestleMania X8.
Warrior died of a heart attack on the afternoon of April 8, 2014 at 54 years old, 3 days after being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame and less than a day after cutting a promo on Raw.
Less than 24 hours before he died, Warrior gave a speech to the fans and wrestlers, past and present, in his Ultimate Warrior character.
During the speech he said:
"No WWE talent becomes a legend on their own.
Every man's heart one day beats its final beat.
His lungs breathe their final breath.
And if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others and makes them believe deeper in something larger than life then his essence, his spirit, will be immortalized.
By the story tellers, by the loyalty, by the memory of those who honor him and make the running the man did live forever.
You, you, you, you, you, you are the legend makers of Ultimate Warrior.
In the back I see many potential legends.
Some of them with warrior spirits.
And you will do the same for them.
You will decide if they lived with the passion and intensity.
So much so that you will tell your stories and you will make them legends, as well.
I am Ultimate Warrior.
You are the Ultimate Warrior fans.
And the spirit of the Ultimate Warrior will run forever!"
Warrior was born as James Brian Hellwig (though changed name to Hellshaw in 1969).
He was the eldest of five children and was raised by his mother (along with, later, his stepfather) after his father left his family when young James was 12.
He spent a year at Indiana State University.
It was also during this time he began to compete in amateur bodybuilding.
He started competing in a number of NPC contests there on.

2019–2021: Disney acquisition and closure
Ownership of Blue Sky Studios was assumed by The Walt Disney Company as part of their 2019 acquisition of 21st Century Fox, which concluded on March 20, 2019.
On March 21, Disney announced that Blue Sky Studios and its parent company 20th Century Fox Animation (now 20th Century Animation) would be integrated as units within the Walt Disney Studios with co-presidents Andrea Miloro and Robert Baird continuing to lead the studio, while reporting to Walt Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn.
In July 2019, Miloro announced that she would be stepping down from her role as co-president, thus leaving Baird as sole president.
In August 2019, former Walt Disney Animation Studios head Andrew Millstein was named as co-president of Blue Sky Studios alongside Baird, while Pixar Animation Studios president Jim Morris would also be taking a supervising role.
On February 9, 2021, Disney announced that it was closing Blue Sky Studios in April 2021.
The company explained that in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic's continued economic impact on all of its businesses, it was no longer sustainable for them to run a third feature animation studio.
In addition, production on a film adaptation of the webcomic Nimona, originally scheduled to be released on January 14, 2022, was cancelled as a result of its closure.
The studio's film library and intellectual properties are retained by Disney.
Although Disney did not give an exact date as to when the studio would be closing down initially, former animator Rick Fournier confirmed on April 10 it was their last day of operation, three days after co-founder Chris Wedge released a farewell letter on social media.
