Giant Jellyfish Found At Japan


A giant Jellyfish called Nomura's Jellyfish has been found recently at the Sea of Japan. Many were astonished due to its enormous size and thought that seeing jellyfish as big as that is something spectacular.

On the other hand, the inhabitants of the area think that this jellyfish is like a monster because it damages the nets of the fishermen, as well as, harm other sea creatures. The villagers are also afraid that big waves will result from any movement of this fish and may cause further damage to them.

The massive sea creatures, called Nomura's jellyfish, can grow 6 feet (1.83 meters) in diameter and weigh more than 450 pounds (204 kilos). Scientists think they originate in the Yellow Sea and in Chinese waters. For the third year since 2005, ocean currents are transporting them into the Sea of Japan.

Western Governors University

For those who are planning to take online bachelors degree in business, here's a good news for you. Western Governors Universityis rated as one of the top 10 Bust Buy by a consumer group. It is because they offer great deals to their students.

According to news.prnewswire.com, undergraduate tuition for WGU's College of Business programs is $2,890 per six-month term, or $23,120 for four years. However, because WGU uses a competency-based academic model that requires students to demonstrate competency in degree subjects in order to advance, students with prior education or experience or those who can commit additional time to study can often accelerate their programs, completing their degrees in less than four years, saving both time and money. Unlike most colleges, WGU does not charge tuition based on semesters or credit hours -- it is charged for six-month terms that can begin on the first day of any month.

These are really get offeran online degree can offer.

The Economic Status

The top economic adviser of U.S. President Obama, Larry Summers, had announced that the president is doing a great job to alleviate the economic depression that the world is experiencing lately.

If this is true, then it is a great news that everyone is waiting to hear since the world crisis hit everyone. Actually, people of middle and upper class are the most affected with this economic recession, since those who are already on the lower class are used to living one day at a time.

I just wished that global economic status will be uplifted sooner than later so that everyone can move forward with their lives.
