#DC Cherry Blossoms Reach Peak Bloom! The gorgeous pink blooms of the cherry trees that dot the National Mall in Washington D c. have reached finally peak bloom officials announced yesterday (April 9).
when 70 percent of the blooms on the Yoshino Cherry trees (there are many different types of cherry trees) have opened fully according to the website of the National Cherry Blossom Festival.
The period of peak bloom can last for up to 14 days the site says. The blooming has been delayed this spring because of the cold beginning to the season though that cold could mean the blooms last longer.
and the peak bloom date there is shifting earlier according to an analysis performed by Jason Samenow at the Washington post's Capital Weather Gang blog.

#Earliest Evidence of Human Hunting Found Archaeologists have unearthed what could be the earliest evidence of ancient human ancestors hunting and scavenging meat.
The artifacts at the site known as Kanjera were about 2 million years old and provided some of the earliest evidence of human species living in grassland rather than forest.
Most of the bones were found on-site suggesting their carcasses were brought whole to the site.
The site also contained the cracked skulls of larger antelopes similar in size to wildebeests.

#Evidence of Ancient Farming in Iran Discovered Agriculture may have arisen simultaneously in many places throughout the Fertile Crescent new research suggests.
Treasures of Mesopotamia The thing that's most astounding is that it extends the Fertile Crescent much farther east for the early agricultural sites
The site contained mortars and grinding tools stone figurines and other tools suggesting a large social group lived there under fairly stable economic conditions.
The team also found thousands of examples of wild barley wild wheat lentil and grass pea remains throughout the site some of the earliest evidence of agriculture in the world.
 Based on levels of radioactive isotopes or atoms of the same elements with different molecular weights the team estimated that the site was occupied almost continuously between 9800 and 12000 years ago.

Families, Bites & Other Facts Funnel-web spiders are spiders that build funnel-shaped webs which they use as burrows
Spiders in the Agelenidae Dipluridae and Hexathelidae families all build funnel-shaped webs but that is where their similarities end.
They build funnel-shaped webs between two braces such as branches or grass blades. In general their bites are not harmful to humans.
Females rarely leave their webs. They typically lay several egg sacs and cover them in webbing for protection.
Web Residents of grassy areas will recognize the funnel webs scattered in the grass during the summer and early fall.
Webs are seen also often in the corners of porches or in the cracks of shingles (anywhere there is a crevice for them to build a funnel web inside).
The spider which has no problem walking on the web then runs out and bites its victim.
In Europe and North america in the 17th and 18th centuries their webs were used often for bandages.
