British
water voles and found allies to safeguard the survival of their species and humans
Canals and River Trust, an organization concerned to ensure the waters of
rivers and English channels, are installing miniature stairs so they can meet
new friends, to reproduce and reverse the sharp decline in its population,
which could mean future extinction.
These "superhighways" wooden cross will allow high edges along the Grand Union Canal (London to Birmingham) to reach new territories.
Environmentalists hope that the stairs are also used throughout the country to help water voles isolated genetically related to other populations.
The project is carried out in a small colony living in Hanwell Lock Flight, west London. If successful, the stairs could be distributed nationally, as a way to help the moles to cross the canal banks.
The structures allow the colony of moles access newly built floating islands in the Grand Union canal.
Artificial islands contain vegetation that moles can nest and feed. The idea is to extend the mammal habitat and encourage them to use more of the waterway.
In the past they have used similar constructions, especially a ladder to help otters to take a shortcut through a dam in Derbyshire, instead of having to cross a street to get to the water.
But the conservation team of the project says it's the first time that the stairs were used for aquatic moles UK.

Everyone deny.
Because the series unleashed a storm on social networks when Satan came on the screen, which many say is "identical" to a character who occupies the White House.
"It is absolute nonsense. The actor who plays ... had represented Satan Satanic characters long before Barack Obama was elected as our president," said the producers of "The Bible."
According Topsy.com, a blog social network analysis, from the moment they started the episode in which Satan appears about 20,000 tweets containing the word "Obama" and Satan ".
The enthusiastic audience of the Bible led to unexpected trends in Twitter, with topics # Satan, # The Bible and # ObamaIsNotSatan (ObamaNoEsSatanás), competing among the most popular.
Because you can´t deny that Satan, starring actor Ouzaani Moroccan Mehdi, bears a resemblance to U.S. President
Who could not find any relationship is the makeup artist, Christa Schoeman, responsible for designing the character.
"Not for a moment I thought of President Obama when he was creating it" Schoeman said to The Daily Beast, defending his work.
Since it began airing television series of five chapters, the rain of comments on Twitter has been so strong that the History Channel executives were forced to issue a statement denying any relationship.

There is
nothing wrong with seeing eye dogs. However, the case of Milo, a terrier, has
attracted attention because it just became another guide dog, the labrador
Eddie, but also did so spontaneously, without receiving training.
Eddie began to show the first signs of blindness in 2012
The owner of two dogs, Angie Baker-Stedham, he realized that his black labrador bumped into objects and soon became blind.
"It all happened so fast and was sad because before, they (the two dogs) used to play together," he recalls.
But the terrier Milo was very close to Eddie began guiding the farmer.
Her owner noticed and put the little white terrier bells on the collar so that his friend Eddie could follow.
And if the labrador away, Milo will get it.
"Now Milo helps you find me when I call him Eddie. He brings it where I am," says the owner.
According to Baker-Stedham, dogs sleep in the same room and spend all their time together. "Without Milo, Eddie would be lost," he says.
But when it became clear over the importance of Milo in Eddie's life was at the time in which the terrier had to be admitted for treatment of anemia.
Milo came home and is cured but while in the hospital, Eddie had a hard time moving.

When Peter Linton was diagnosed with Parkinson's
disease four years ago, the first thought that crossed his mind was taking
ballet classes.
The condition affects coordination of Peter, makes your movement is slower and less controlled, and causes difficulty with balance and walking. You'd think that would be the last ballet for him.
But in the halls of essay in English National Ballet, while the pianist plays music from "The Nutcracker", he raises his arms, ready to dance.
Now attend weekly ballet classes, focused specifically to people living with Parkinson's disease to help with balance and coordination, and in the process found a new way to express themselves.
"Physical exercises are just that, but the music adds a new dimension to what we're doing," he said.
"We're trying to express, not only in dance, but responding to the music. And I find it quite engrossing."
Discovering modes of expression is particularly important for those living with Parkinson's, because many of its symptoms hinder communication. Expressive art forms such as dance could offer renewed hope.
Weekly classes Dance for Parkinson are managed by the National Ballet of England.
Researchers at the Roehampton University, headed by Dr Sara Houston, are measuring the observed changes in physical and emotional wellbeing of patients.
The study, which wills last two years, monitors changes in the balance and stability of the patients, and also the interview about their experiences.

Dentists may,
in the future, replace missing teeth by pieces that grow from cells of the gums,
according to British researchers.
The team at King's College London took cells from adult gum tissue and combined with other types of cells from mice to grow a tooth.
Scientists say, using a ready source of cells, the technique could be available to patients in the future.
But probably it will be many years before and studios that dentists can use this method.
Other studies have focused on the use of embryonic stem cells to create "biodientes".
The scientists showed that it was possible to grow a tooth but they suggested, is expensive and impractical for daily use in the dental clinic.
In the latter study, took skin cells from patients gum, some more developed in the laboratory and mixed with mesenchymal cells (a type of stem cells) from mice.
Mesenchymal cells were grown to act as "inducer", ie, to instruct the epithelial cells begin to grow as a tooth.
By combining cells transplanted into mice, researchers were able to develop teeth hybrid human / mouse that had roots viable, as reported in the journal Journal of Dental Research.
