Tribes..... Never knew there were there before.....

New photos obtained by Survival International show uncontacted Indians in never-seen-before detail. The Indians are living in Brazil, near the Peruvian border, and are featured in the ‘Jungles’ episode of BBC1’s ‘Human Planet’ (Thurs 3 Feb, 8pm, UK only).
The pictures were taken by Brazil’s Indian Affairs Department, which has authorized Survival to use them as part of its campaign to protect their territory. They reveal a thriving, healthy community with baskets full of manioc and papaya fresh from their gardens.

The tribe’s survival is in serious jeopardy as an influx of illegal loggers invades the Peru side of the border. Brazilian authorities believe the influx of loggers is pushing isolated Indians from Peru into Brazil, and the two groups are likely to come into conflict.
Survival and other NGOs have been campaigning for years for the Peruvian government to act decisively to stop the invasion, but little has been done.

Last year an American organization, Upper Amazon Conservancy, carried out the latest of several overflights on the Peru side, uncovering further evidence of illegal logging in a protected area.
Marcos Apurinã, Coordinator of Brazil’s Amazon Indian organization COIAB said today, ‘It is necessary to reaffirm that these peoples exist, so we support the use of images that prove these facts. These peoples have had their most fundamental rights, particularly their right to life, ignored … it is therefore crucial that we protect them.’
Renowned Brazilian Indian leader Davi Kopenawa Yanomami said today, ‘The place where the Indians live, fish, hunt and plant must be protected. That is why it is useful to show pictures of the uncontacted Indians, for the whole world to know that they are there in their forest and that the authorities must respect their right to live there.’

Peru’s Amazon Indian organisation AIDESEP issued a statement saying, ‘We are deeply troubled by the authorities’ lack of action… despite complaints from Peru and abroad against illegal logging, nothing has been done.’
TV presenter Bruce Parry of hit TV series Tribe said, ‘Protecting the land where uncontacted tribes live is of global importance. We have consistently failed to introduce them to our world without inflicting terrible traumas. It is for them to decide when they want to join our world. Not us.’

Survival’s Director Stephen Corry said today, ‘The illegal loggers will destroy this tribe. It’s vital that the Peruvian government stop them before time runs out. The people in these photos are self-evidently healthy and thriving. What they need from us is their territory protected, so that they can make their own choices about their future.
‘But this area is now at real risk, and if the wave of illegal logging isn’t stopped fast, their future will be taken out of their hands. This isn’t just a possibility: it’s irrefutable history, rewritten on the graves of countless tribes for the last five centuries.’

This is what we call as Living in a Edge.....! ! ! Really Amazing.

Seeing pictures of these small communities really was impressed. Living in one of these houses should be incredibly beautiful (think what they should be getting up every day with a shocking landscape) and frightening (imagine a night of storm and high winds on the top floor of one of those houses).

The picture you see below is a city in southern Spain is divided in two by the Tajo Tajo de Ronda in Andalucia and that unites the New Bridge (in Google Maps you can see a perfect picture of it).

This photograph is of Bonifacio, France. This city is located on precarious cliffs through the years was being eroded by the Mediterranean Sea (Google Maps).

In Spain also found Castellfullit of the Rock, a municipality in the district of La Garrotxa, in the province of Gerona. Without a doubt my favorite.

10 Biggest Misconceptions We Learn in School.

10 Biggest Misconceptions We Learn in School

1) Einstein got bad grades in school.

Generations of children have been heartened by the thought that this Nobel Prize winner did badly at school, but they’re sadly mistaken. In fact, he did very well at school, especially in science and maths (unsurprisingly).

.

2) Mice like cheese

Mice enjoy food rich in sugar as well as peanut butter and breakfast cereals. So a Snickers bar would go down much better than a lump of cheddar.

3) Napoleon was short.

He was actually around 5ft 7, completely average for the 18th/19th century.

4) Thomas Edison invented the light bulb.

Edison invented a lot of things – in fact he’s one of the most famous inventors of all time – but the light bulb wasn’t one of them. What he did was develop a light bulb at the same time as the British man, Joseph Swan, who came up with it originally.

5) Lemmings throw themselves over cliffs to commit suicide

The poor old things are sometimes so desperate for food that they do, according to the BBC “jump over high ground into water”, but they aren’t committing group suicide.

6) Water flushes differently in different hemispheres

No it doesn’t. Sorry!

7) Humans evolved from apes

Darwin didn’t actually say this, but he’s been misreported ever since. What he did say was that we, and apes, and chimpanzees for that matter, had a common ancestor, once, a long, long time ago.

 Vikings had horns/helmets with horns.

Vikings may have been buried with their helmets and with drinking horns. When they were dug up by the Victorians, they assumed that the helmets had horns.

9) Columbus believed the earth was flat

He may not have known how big the world was, but he wasn’t worrying about falling off the edge of it.

10) Different parts of the tongue detect different tastes

You do have different taste buds on your tongue and some are more sensitive than others. But they aren’t divided into perfect, easy-to-teach sections.

Whether Rajni going to act in Hindi Movie.....????????

He has won the box office over repeatedly with his Golmaal series. Now director Rohit Shetty is pulling out the big guns. On one hand, he is planning a film with Shah Rukh Khan and on the other, he is believed to be going all out to get Rajnikanth to do a Hindi film.

If the buzz in B-town is right, Rohit is trying hard to get the southern screen god to Bollywood. If the casting coup works, this will be Rajni's first Hindi film in a long time.

Apparently, Shetty has been meeting people close to Rajnikanth to convince the legend. Though there is no official confirmation from Shetty, rumour is that he might be successful in casting the southie superstar, whose last film Enthiran was reportedly the highest grossing Tamil film.

We also hear that Shah Rukh loved Golmaal 3 so much that he has asked Shetty to be a part of his production firm, Red Chillies.

It is believed King Khan wants Rohit to make a comedy starring the actor.

The hit director is apparently contemplating the offer seriously as he plans to remake an 80s hit comedy with SRK. But it remains to be seen if Shetty partners with SRK, considering the alleged bad vibes between SRK and Ajay Devgn, who has been a fixture in all of Rohit's hits.
