The hiding predator -- Wobbegong

Shark-eat-shark

The photo says it all: an alien-looking shark, adorned with mossy hairs and a flat face, with its mouth agape and a slender bamboo shark headfirst inside. Though not unusual for a shark to snack on another shark, it's not typical behavior — and it's certainly not common for humans to catch the action firsthand.


n fact, the researchers who came upon the shark-eat-shark scene on the fringes of Great Keppel Island on the southern Great Barrier Reef didn't realize at first what they were looking at.

"The white bamboo shark appeared first, and as we came closer, we suddenly realized that its head was not hidden under a ledge, as is usual, but in the mouth of the very well-camouflaged wobbegong," Daniela Ceccarelli of Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence (ARC) for Coral Reef Studies, told LiveScience, adding that "witnessing predation events like this is very rare."

Ceccarelli and David Williams, also of ARC, were conducting a fish census there on Aug. 1, 2011, when they spotted the sharks.

The predator was a four-foot wobbegong, a bottom-dewlling shark that uses its natural camouflage to blend into the seafoor and ambush prey.

Run Hamsters, Run

We took a funny video about busy running hamsters. They are so cute and activity, lots of energy.

The future Possible Olympic figure skate Championship

Karen Chen is just 12 years old and she won the novice 2012 Figure Skating National Championship. She works 4 hrs/day and 6 days/week for practices. Amazing!

You have to love to do what you are doing.  I like her attitude to face pressure. 

"It is like a party,you made to this party,you just go out there and enjoy it. Have fun out there"

Good for her ! Nice Job and well done ! Good luck in your future competition!

Kinect Program Running On Win8 (My recent work-3)

Recently I installed my program on a Win 8 (Developer Preview) laptop, which is old Latitude D430, it has a intel core 2 duo CPU running @ 1.2 Ghz. Basically it is lower than the Kinect SDK requirement, which asks at least Dual-core 2.66Ghz or above.

When the D430 was running the Kinect program, it showed some lagged but basically it worked.
