75 Million Year Old Dinosaur Voice Heard Again

The Parasaurolophus had a bony tubular crest that extended back from the top of its head. Many scientists believed the crest, containing a labyrinth of air cavities and shaped like a trombone, might have been used to produce distinctive sounds. Once a 3-D model of the crest was created, the computer was able to simulate blowing air through it to amplify the tones it was capable of making. As expected, the dinosaur apparently emitted a resonating low-frequency rumbling sound that could change in pitch....

According to the National Trust, the energy represented in the Century Plaza equals 167,000 barrels of oil. Those resources could be totally wasted if this landmark is razed by its new owners, who plan to replace it with two “environmentally sensitive” towers....

Are Email Addresses Case Sensitive

For all practical purposes, case does not matter in email addresses. Conventionally all the email addresses are written in small letters but you can write/type them in capital letters as well. If we get into technicalities, theoretically case does matters in email addresses (but practically it does not, as we have already said). For example, practically l[email protected] is same as [email protected] or [email protected]. However, theoretically all these email addresses are not the same....
