A chameleon’s colorful beauty is truly skin deep. Under the transparent outer skin are two cell layers that contain red and yellow pigments, or the chromatophores. Below the chromatophores are cell layers that reflect blue and white light. Deeper down is a layer of brown melanin (which is alike to the brown melanin that gives human skin its various shades). Levels of external light and heat, and internal chemicals reactions cause these cells to expand or contract. A calm chameleon for example, may exhibit green for the reason that the somewhat contracted yellow cells allow blue-reflected light to pass through. An angry chameleon may exhibit yellow, because of the fact that the yellow cells have fully expanded, thus blocking off all blue-reflected light from

It does this by using a molecule to tell all the cells where to go and what to do. Within the cell there is a gene called Sonic hedgehog that causes the ZPA to change its plan and this causes a deformation. Fly geneticists were the ones to discover this by using fruit flies. These geneticists turned genes on and off during the development of the flies. Once the flies were fully developed they noticed that one of the flies had a part of its body that looked different than the rest (Page 52).

Wendigos are hideous in appearance. Their skin is taut against their bodies; they exhibit spinal disfiguration, giving them a hunchback-like appearance. Their teeth become sharper and disfigured; their sight changes to be able to see only movement; their limbs become much longer, giving them the ability to climb up walls, and to make small jumps from spot to spot in the blink of an eye. They also lose their hair and they eventually lose their male and female characteristics, becoming skeletal in

This article stood out to me because I used to want to be a Paleontologist and I am also a big fan of the Jurassic Park movies.

A recent discovery showed that the real Velociraptor was a lapdog-sized predator covered in feathers. In Jurassic park the velociraptors are shown as raptors that are bigger than humans and have a rough scaly skin. If you look at the arm bones of Velociraptor you can see a row of bumps, identical in size and shape to the quill knobs of living birds: the anchor points for big wing feathers...”

think that VCs are hard to regulate and monitor, as they involve different entities locally and internationally, most of the outside the traditional monetary system. Some regulators have started to respond to this issue. The regulators have developed several approaches, which include the possibility of applying the existing legislation to VCs, issuing warnings to consumers, enforcing licensing obligations on certain VC market players, banning financial institutions from dealing in VCs, completely prohibiting the usage of VCs, and suing abusers. However, these regulations are in early stage, and regulators should think more innovatively to address their concerns without harming the ongoing innovation (European Central Bank : Virtual Currency
