Eagles are one of the most majestic of all the birds in the sky. But don’t be fooled, they can be deadly if trifled with. Here are some of the most interesting facts about eagles that you may not have known.

• There are currently over 60 sixty species of eagles in the world and are scattered around different parts of the globe. Most can be found in Eurasia and Africa but some species are also found in America and Australia.

• A large majority of eagle species are mainly carnivorous but there is the Vulturine Fish eagle, mainly found in the sub-Saharan plains of Africa that eats the fruit of the oil palm.

• The world’s largest eagles are able to kill and carry animals as large as deer, goat and monkeys. These eagles have huge wingspans of more than 250cm or 8ft and examples of such birds of prey are the Harpy eagle and Philippine eagle.

• In most eagle species, the females are stronger and larger than the male eagles.

• There are some eagles which are capable of soaring for hours on end without a single wing flap. They are able to do this by taking advantage of columns of hot rising air.

• Most eagle species only lay two eggs. It is very common for the larger chick to kill the younger chick once it hatches. The parents do nothing to stop this killing.

• The heaviest eagle in the world is the Steller’s sea eagle with some specimens in over 9kg or 20lbs.

• Eagles’ have amazing eyesight. We all know this fact but what you may not have known is that they have a million light-sensitive cells per square millimetre of the retina, this is almost 5 times more than what humans have. Eagles can also see in five colours while humans can see in three. These adaptations make the eagle’s eyesight extremely sharp and lets them to find prey (even if they are camouflaged) from extremely far away distances.

• The largest nest found for any animal species was built by a bald eagle. It weighed a whopping 1 metric ton and was 4m deep and 2.5m wide.

• Eagles are extremely intelligent birds. There is a species of eagles found in Greece that feeds on turtles. They pick up the turtles and drop them on rocks from a great height to break open their hard shells.

• Eagles are very common symbols in heraldry. They are considered the ‘King of the birds’ like how the lion is considered to be the ‘King of the beasts’. Around 25 countries today, have eagles depicted on their coat of arms.

• Bald eagles are not actually bald. The name is derived from an older word, piebald which means white headed.

• Eagles have a specialized mechanism in their feet that lock up on a branch. This allows them to sleep while being perched upon a tree.

• Around 4% of the eagles’ body mass is made up of feathers. This roughly equates to around 7000 feathers!

Everyone loves concerts. They are the perfect opportunity to let loose with your friends and have the time of your life singing along to your favourite artist. There’s absolutely nothing like seeing your favourite musician perform live right in front of you and thus a concert is definitely an experience of a lifetime. The only downside to the whole thing is the process of actually GETTING to the concert, or in other words, scoring a ticket. Concert tickets are often very expensive and cannot be afforded by a large number of people. Luckily there is a way out of this and in this article we have listed out some ways to get concert tickets for free.

1: PERFORMING A SERVICE FOR TICKETS:
One way of scoring a free ticket is by promoting the concert itself. Check the website and social media pages for the band that you know is coming to your city and see if they have a street team. Join this team and help them spread the word about the concert by telling everyone you know, putting up posters, promoting it on Instagram, facebook etc. Usually, services like this are ‘paid’ in free tickets and often VIP passes to go backstage and meet the artist.

2: SUBSCRIBE TO A SEAT FILLER MEMBERSHIP:
Another way of getting a free ticket is by subscribing to a seat filler membership. This will give you access to a large number of events around town including concerts, plays, expos etc. as a way of helping to fill any unsold seats. Through this membership, you are provided with open doors to most events of your choice.

3: BECOME A VOLUNTEER FOR THE EVENT: Check the band’s website months beforehand and see if they are asking for volunteers to come help volunteer. As a volunteer, you will be able to help out with the band’s equipment, lighting, sound, venue and many other factors that will often give you a chance to meet the band before they even perform. The icing on the cake is that volunteers get to go the concert for free!

4: CALL INTO YOUR LOCAL RADIO STATIONS:
Radio stations often do concert ticket giveaways a few weeks before a concert, so another way to score a free ticket is by listening in on the radio and seeing if you have a chance. Call as many times as you can and send in whatever answers or messages they ask you for, and you have a good chance of emerging the lucky winner who gets to go to the concert for free.

5: USE YOUR CONTACTS:
As a final resort, another way to get free tickets is to use your contacts and get in touch with anyone that is a part of the music industry or is involved with the concert in any way, be it, managers, sponsors, promoters, or even musicians themselves. Tell them how much you would love to go and ask if there is any way they can score you a free ticket. If you are lucky, the odds will be in your favour and you’ll get the ticket.

The Development of Graphene Wins the Nobel Prize in Physics

University of Manchester scientists were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for their work with the material known as graphene. Graphene is a material that has been found to be the thinnest and strongest material known to mankind, according to Popsci. The scientists, Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, isolated graphene from graphite using only a piece of scotch tape.

Graphene is an important discovery because it can be used for everything from being the strongest magnetic field ever to being used as a alternative form of electricity. Who knows what the future holds for this discovery. Three other important discoveries that were awarded Nobel Prizes,are in vitro fertilization, the discovery of DNA’s double-helix, and the discovery of Penicilin.

University of Cambridge scientist Robert G. Edwards was awarded this year with the Nobel Prize in Medicine for developing in vitro fertilization, according to PR Newswire. Edwards began working on this development in the 1950s, and now his work has helped millions of couples who normally would not be able to have babies. Ten percent of all couples are affected by infertility, and because of his work, 4 million IVF babies have been born. No other scientific development has come close to doing what IVF has done for the world. Without it, there would be a lot less life.

James D. Watson and Francis Crick were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1953 for their discovery of the double helix that makes up DNA, according to the National Library of Medicine. The reason why this discovery was so important and still is is because knowing what our DNA looks like has given way to a billion dollar business in mapping genes and understanding how genes work. Without their discovery, we would be nowhere near where we are now in mapping the genetic code.

Alexander Fleming, Howard Florey, and Ernst Chain were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery of penicillin, according to About.com. Fleming accidentally discovered it when mold grew in one of his many Petri dishes and killed another bacteria that was in there. Florey and Chain made it into the drug that is used today. Without this important discovery, many people would have died because of the diseases that it is able to cure. It has been used to treat bacterial infections in minor wounds, diphtheria, gangrene, pneumonia, syphilis, and tuberculosis.

All of these discoveries have been important in their fields, and each year we are getting closer and closer to understanding our world.
