Frogs burn ample fuel while freezing solid
The Canadian researchers have found out, frogs that cope with winter weather by freezing into a solid may be hit by climate change.
Wood frogs has the amazing ability to freeze their bodies into hard when the temperature drops below 0 C and they thaw out and hop away when it warms up again.
As a matter of fact freezing and thawing burns a surprisingly large amount of energy. The researchers measured the frogs' energy consumption in the lab during freezing and thawing.
While the cold-blooded animals slow down their metabolism consistently as temperatures drop, wood frogs suddenly increase their energy consumption when temperatures drop to about above zero. The metabolism increased suddenly again when they completely thawed out after being frozen before they start to breathe again.
By putting temperature sensors in the ground in an Ottawa-area forest during winter, the researchers discovered that the frogs freeze and thaw 15 to 25 times per winter, and calculated that the process consumes a large portion of the energy that a frog burns over the winter.

The Best Eyebrows for your face
Let’s face it, when it comes to eyebrows they can either make or break your entire look. But with so many options–thick, thin, arched, straight–how do you know which brow is right for YOU?
Here are the best brows for your face shape.
Bigger is better when it comes to square faces. A thick brow for this face shape which is best achieved by waxing or threading. It gives a more natural brow shape as it removes the hair strands in a row, ensuring the result is natural and neat but not overly defined.Since square faces already have a strong appearance, it’s best to make your brows complement your face instead of contrasting with it. Align the peak of the brow with the widest angle of the jaw to balance out the strong jaw line.
ForRound Face
For those with a round face, an arched eyebrow to create a more oval look. The high peak opens the eyes vertically to elongate the face. Tweezing is the best bet when trying to create that high arched look for a round face. It is better option if you are after a more sculptured look; it offers a more precise finish by removing hair strands individually.
ForLong Face
For long faces it recommends flat , straight eyebrows. To go with those flat brows, a low arch for people who have a longer face because it helps open up their face sideways.
ForHeart Face
A round arch to help soften her pointed chin. Grooming once every three weeks, or when hairs start to show for natural looking and well-maintained brows.
ForOval Shape
Oval faces can handle most brow types. Because of the proportionate shape, it's easy to pull off a variety of shapes. For tweezing on an oval face,doing so right after a warm shower. Your pores are open and your hair strands are softened by the head and humidity making the hair-removing process easier.
ForDiamond Face
Soften the angels in your diamond face shape and make the widest portion of the face appear less wide. Curves will both soften your look and make the widest portion of your face look less wide. The curved brow shape does this. Notice that many beautiful celebrities that have a diamond face shape also have curved brows.

Giovanna Plowman sucks her own tampon
GiovannaPlowman uploaded of herself eating what appears to be a used tampon, but she couldn't stop the internet.
She uploaded a graphic video onto her now deleted Facebook page of what appeared to be her sucking on her own used tampon. She is now known as “Tampon Girl”. She's been accused by Twitter followers of creating the shock video as way to get her 15 minutes of fame.
There is argument over whether it's real or not. The site Know Your Meme points out that commenters seem to disagree whether it's actually bloody tampon she's using or just something dipped in tomato sauce or another red liquid.
Some think that she did that video to get on the Tosh O show, the International Digital Times pointed out a post on Facebook supposedly made by Plowman. She posted “ ”OMG! I just found I’m going to be on Tosh.0!!! One of Daniel Tosh’s agents got a hold of me and said they would love to have me and my video on their show! This is amazing. I never though it would get this big, and of course I’ll be going.”
Here is the link to the “Tampon Girl” video made by Giovanna Plownman. Be warned that even if it is fake , it is still jarring: live leak
