The bigger concern might be getting the offense back on track after managing just one run on Monday night. Torey Lovullo will be hoping for much of the same tonight, with his big three of Ryan Thompson, Kevin Ginkel and Paul Sewald all rested and ready after not having pitched in Game 3. are likely going to have to slug their way there.Īrizona, meanwhile, is a bit more comfortable int his situation, having used a true bullpen game once already in these playoffs - in Game 4 of the NLCS, when a parade of eight relievers contribute to a comeback win over the Phillies. If the Rangers are going to go up 3-1, Corey Seager and Co. That will put even more pressure on the top of Texas’ order to produce, as will Heaney and Dunning, who were lit up by the Astros in Game 4 of the ALCS the last time Bochy tried to piggyback them. Bruce Bochy has yet to offer any sort of firm prognosis for either player, but it seems hard to believe that Garcia will be in the lineup less than 24 hours later. Texas snatched home-field advantage back on Monday night, but now the whole Lone Star State is waiting to hear back on both Scherzer (who left after three innings due to back spasms) and Garcia (who appeared to injure his side on a swing in the top of the eighth). The pitching situation will be touch-and-go for both teams: After burning Jon Gray in relief last night, the Rangers will go with lefty Andrew Heaney (10-6, 4.15 ERA) to start (and likely Dane Dunning to follow) here, while lefty Joe Mantiply (2-2, 4.62) will lead what figures to be a full bullpen game for Arizona. First pitch from Chase Field is set for 8:03 p.m. Now Texas will try and put the hammer down, while the D-backs look to even things back up in Game 4 on Tuesday night. It wasn’t pretty - and it potentially came at a pretty steep cost, pending the prognoses of both Max Scherzer and Adolis Garcia - but the Texas Rangers put themselves back in the driver’s seat of this World Series with a 3-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks in Game 3. ![]() In general, filters are extremely important for a successful aquarium. They absolutely will need to be kept in a filtered tank. Zebra loaches are fairly hardy fish, but they are sensitive to ammonia spikes. You want to maximize the amount of substrate they have to feed from. They will do better in a tank that has a bigger footprint rather than a tall tank. I recommend that you keep these fish in at least a 40 gallon tank, but as always, the bigger the tank, you can manage the better. How to Set Up a Zebra Loach Tank Tank Size They’re like a pack of goofy kids running around playing it’s great. They are also good overall bottom feeding fish that will get rid of food that sinks past their top dwelling neighbors.Īnd, as if all this weren’t enough, they are very interesting to watch and their behavior is pretty hilarious at times. You can go from having a tank where it seems like snails are covering everything, to not being able to find a single snail in the tank, within a week or two. They will hunt down every single last snail in your tank, and they will do so quickly. I’m telling you, you will never see a more efficient snail eating machine than a pack of zebra loaches. People often turn to clown loaches for their ability to get rid of pest snail infestations, but this really isn’t necessary. That is a sentence I never imagined writing in my entire life, but there you have it, I stand by the statement. It is so much more realistic for the average aquarist to be able to house zebras versus clowns. And their bright orange coloration becomes more and more dull and dusky as they age.īy comparison, zebra loaches only grow to be about 4 inches long, only need a 40 gallon tank, and their coloration stays just as beautiful throughout their entire life. I really wish that live fish stores would put more emphasis on this species than clowns.Ĭlown loaches look little and cute in the store, but they grow to be over 12 inches (30 centimeters) long and require at least a 150 gallon (568 liter) tank. In my opinion, they are a much better species for the average aquarist than clown loaches. They’re somewhere around four years old at this point. I’ve got a school of five in with my Boesemani rainbowfish right now. I have really loved keeping zebra loaches in my tanks over the years. Luckily, the fish you see in the aquarium trade have been captive bred. Sadly, zebra loaches are critically endangered in their native range because of habitat destruction and pollution. They like to pile into hiding places, cramming themselves in so that they’re always touching each other. These fish hunt, spawn and rest as a school. They rely on a “there’s strength in numbers” strategy. Zebra loaches like to do everything as a huge group. They will also scavenge any dead fish they happen to find. These fish are amazingly good at their jobs as bottom feeders. The school of zebra loaches will snap apart the snail like a shark feeding frenzy. If they come across a large snail that doesn’t hide quickly enough, they will attack it as a group to snatch the soft body out of the hard shell. These fish have evolved strong grinding teeth in the back of their mouths, capable of crushing snail shells to tiny bits.Īny snail small enough to fit in their mouths is instantly doomed. They’ll dine on worms, insect larvae, fish eggs, and especially, snails. Zebra loaches group together in large, irregular shoals that cruise the river bottom, looking for any little tasty morsels. They are found in fast moving rivers and streams, making them very strong swimmers. This amazing little fish is native to Western India. But, zebras will look just as gorgeous their whole lives. Many other species of loach look really cool when they’re juveniles, but as they age their color and patterns may be quite different. The thing that I love about these loaches, they keep their beautiful patterns and colors throughout their lives. Each fish has a slightly different pattern, just like fingerprints with humans, making each fish unique. They’re covered from nose to tail in a pattern of thin, diagonal gray and gold stripes. This species has a really gorgeous color pattern. They look like a little tuft of whiskers. They have a short set of barbels that surround their mouths. They have the typical body shape of Botia loaches: sharply pointed nose, flattened belly, slim body overall with short fins and tail. I think zebra loaches are really beautiful fish. Common Name: zebra loach, candy stripe loach, crossbanded loach, lined loach, striped loach, tiger loach, zebra botia.How many can be kept together: as many as you like, needs to be kept in a group of at least five.I love my school of zebra loaches, and in this guide, I’ll teach you how to set up a tank and provide the right care for zebra loaches. They generally just stick to themselves and do their own thing. Zebra loaches are a great fit for most community tanks. ![]() Back at the command centre, Elektra reveals that she killed her father as revenge for using her as bait for Renard.

The fallacy that horses are not native to this hemisphere and were introduced by Europeans still lingers with us, even though these and other examples of ancient horses have been known for many decades. A tantalizing (but rarely mentioned) sidenote is that these horse remains in some caves were found alongside potsherds and other human artifacts.6 We have not found any carbon dating information on them, but it is doubtful that people outside the Church would be as interested in this subject as we are. Exactly how they got there is unknown, but it is probable that they were brought in by early inhabitants, since it is believed that early man hunted native horses.4 Because these bones are not fossilized,5 there is a limit to how old they might be. In the Loltún Caves of the Yucatán he found the bones of many ancient animals, but no fossils.3 Between this early dig and 1977, ancient horse bones were found in the Huechil Grotto of this same cave system. In 1895, Henry Mercer explored 29 caves in the Yucatán Peninsula looking for evidence of prehistoric habitation. What may be surprising is that this is not a controversial claim and it has been known for some time. They do not convince the critics, either.įortunately, there is hard evidence of modern horses in ancient Mesoamerica. These and other rare images are fascinating, but they should not be taken as proof. If it is not a depiction of a horse but some other real animal, than the only other known candidate is a tapir. This would mean that knowledge of horses survived for a long time, if not the actual animals themselves. The carving is definitely pre-Columbian, but most of the construction at Chichén dates to the 9th and 10th centuries AD, long after the close of the Book of Mormon. It certainly may be a horse, but it is hard to know for sure. That image is shown here with an outline added to show what details remain in the eroded façade. One of the blocks shows an image that has been interpreted by some LDS scholars to be a man standing next to a small horse. On its north and south sides, it has blocks carved with scenes of various animals. It is located on the side of a building called the Temple of the Wall Panels. ![]() One intriguing example is found at Chichén Itzá. What if Nephi and his successors really did write about horses as we know them? The claim has been made by various LDS authors that horses are seen in Mesoamerican art from time to time,2 but these images are sometimes hard to track down and often very subjective. And it seems like we should be able to put forth a better challenge to the critics. Did Nephi do the same thing in reverse by calling Tapirs horses? All in all, this explanation makes sense, but it does not win over many opponents of the Book of Mormon. They had no other name for these strange animals, so they chose the next best thing: naming them after an animal they already knew that they found similar. It is interesting that the Maya used their own word for Tapir to refer to Spanish horses. they call them Tzimin, and from that they have given this name to horses."1 they are of the size of ordinary mules, very light-footed, with cloven hoofs like cattle …. According to the Spanish priest Diego de Landa, “There are Tapirs …. The suggestion has been made that perhaps this is Nephi's horse. The largest native mammal commonly known today to have inhabited these areas anciently is the Tapir. Did Nephi and subsequent record keepers simply do the same thing? It is interesting to note that of the six animals mentioned, there are really only three major kinds described: ox and cow are merely gender-specific terms for bovines, ass and horse are really just about the same thing, and what is the difference between a goat and a wild goat? The names Nephi chose would make a great topic for further study, but that is beyond the scope of this paper. The hippopotamus got its name from Greeks who decided to call this strange animal a water horse, although no one today would confuse the two. This is a valid response, as new animals can be hard to name. ![]() A popular one is that Nephi is using his word for horse to describe a large mammal unknown to him. After all, everyone knows that horses were introduced to the Americas by the Spanish, right? Were we not all taught that in school? LDS apologists have offered several possible explanations to answer this apparent anachronism. ![]() The mere mention of horses in Ancient America has made the Book of Mormon a target for critics over the years. With these few words, Nephi ignites a long-running modern controversy. ![]() But recently they've discovered a more defined area of taurine's neurological activity. Scientists have known for a couple of years that taurine is involved somehow in the development and function of the brain. Is Taurine an Upper or Downer? Surprising New Research on the Brain For these reasons, it's banned in some Scandinavian countries after being linked to the deaths of three consumers. Studies have implicated energy drinks in illnesses ranging from high blood pressure to strokes and seizures to heart disease. Could this lead to a vicious cycle of dependency? Probably not, but research has yet to conclude whether or not this is a serious issue. Some argue that this may cause a person to feel unsatisfied with the lack of adrenalin they receive from the energy drink, causing them to reach for more caffeine. Since it has been shown to mitigate anxiety, it may counteract the effects of caffeine in energy drinks. Taurine, mostly in its natural form, actually shows positive effects on the cardiovascular system, nervous system, and immune system. While this may sound beneficial, perhaps it's not the best thing to intake when seeking energy for your daily tasks. Taurine shows an anxiolytic effect on the central nervous system, causing a possible reduction of anxiety symptoms associated with caffeine intake. ![]() Since taurine is created naturally in the human body, a good diet supplies all you need.īecause taurine is utilized by the body during exercise and in times of stress, it's become a popular ingredient in energy drinks. It was first discovered in the bile of bulls and is now produced synthetically by the truckload. Taurine is a free form amino acid contained in foods and manufactured in the body from the amino acid cysteine. One of the main reasons is taurine, a common ingredient found in the caffeine and sugar-laden concoctions. “This study suggests that taurine could be an elixir of life within us that helps us live longer and healthier lives.The multi-billion dollar phenomenon of energy drinks has captured the attention of scientists and nutritionists across the country. “For the last 25 years, scientists have been trying to find factors that not only let us live longer, but also increase healthspan, the time we remain healthy in our old age,” Yadav said. The claims are frequent enough that Red Bull, which independently has a bovine name, addresses it on its list of frequently asked questions on its website. Such claims are not true and the chemical is produced synthetically. The nutrient’s bullish history also occasionally spark spurious claims that the drinks contain bull sperm or are made from bull’s testicles. Taurine is a common ingredient in many energy drinks-including best-selling brands like Red Bull, Monster and Rockstar-though experts warn these may pose a danger to public health for their large caffeine and sugar content. Its name is derived from the Latin word for bull or ox, “taurus,” as the chemical was first isolated from ox bile in the early 1800s. Taurine is a naturally occurring amino acid. Yadav said the finding “suggests that some of the health benefits of exercise may come from an increase in taurine.” Surprising Fact The researchers tested taurine levels in men-a mix of athletes and less-active individuals-after a strenuous workout, finding a significant increase for all. The researchers also conducted a study linking taurine levels with exercise, another intervention well-known to improve health. Rigorous and randomized clinical trials will be needed to prove the link for sure, Yadav said. ![]() As the study was observational, Yadav said it can’t prove taurine was responsible for the findings or whether supplements would help improve lifespan and health. To test the connection, the researchers evaluated 12,000 European adults ages 60 and over on around 50 health metrics, finding those with higher taurine levels to be healthier, with fewer cases of type 2 diabetes, reduced high blood pressure and lower levels of obesity and inflammation. The role taurine may play in human aging is not yet clear and understanding it fully will still leave many questions unresolved. While important strides have been made in recent years, there is still a great deal scientists do not know about aging, its drivers or how to slow, stall or reverse it.
