You notice that the fish that were so calming have beat a hasty exit; it's now just you, the other divers and the looming shadows circling ever closer. Five blacktip reef sharks swim into your view, and your heartbeat, so calm only a moment ago, is raging in your ears as the sharks slowly weave themselves among your group of divers. Their movement is smooth and fluid, so you know they are at ease with you and the other humans, and they seem curious about these visitors to their home.

In the following pages, we'll see the different ways you can dive with sharks, what sorts of sharks you might find and the dangers that come along with submerging yourself with these predators of the deep. Read on to find out about most popular way to dive with sharks: cage diving.
The recent COVID-19 pandemic has prompted even greater growth in the consumption of multimedia content on the Internet, bringing huge challenges in terms of storage, network bandwidth, and video encoding. In the age of Internet video, HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS), which has been improved a lot in recent years, is the dominant form of distribution. In HAS, the source content is encoded at multiple resolutions and/or quality levels, which allows client applications to switch to an appropriate version depending on the network bandwidth and display device limitations. The per-shot encoding scheme further improved the compression efficiency by shot-level optimization. 20% bitrate savings over baseline fixed QP (Quantization Parameter) / CRF (Constant Rate Factor) encoding for a variety of content, encoders, and quality metrics, at the cost of more increased complexity on pre-processing video shots. Recent research on per-shot encoding focuses on fast encoding convex hull construction. The convex hull constructed in a fast configuration can be used to guide encoding in a slower configuration.
Stop the presses and file a report on your family's latest news by creating your own family newsletter. Have you ever heard your mother complain about how Aunt Lucy never writes? Does Grandma Jane talk about how your mother never calls? You can bring the whole family together by writing. Distributing this fun family newsletter. Then drop your relatives notes asking them what's been happening in their lives. Step 2: Once you get your answers, write short reports on each family group and add a reminder box of their special dates. Step 3: Print out copies for each family, and drop them in the mail -- or send an e-mail. Before you know it, you'll be getting announcements from your long-lost Uncle Harold -- not to mention thank-you notes from Aunt Lucy who never writes. Read on for a pen pal activity that shows how to put your own creative stamp on the next envelope you mail.
But what does that do to anonymity and personal freedom? This doesn't even touch on whether we should even colonize Mars at all. It seems advantageous because we will need a backup plan for humanity should Earth experience an extinction event. But some scientists don't think we should be messing with Mars, some because Mars would be irrevocably changed by our presence, and some because humans would. Lengthy time spent in space can cause muscle and bone atrophy, health problems such as kidney stones and even spine stretching. NASA Astronaut Scott Kelly grew 2 inches while living for a year on the International Space Station, though it took just a few days for him to return to his original height. Who knows what could happen to our bodies after living on Mars for an extended period? It's been argued that as time goes on, Mars colonists would basically be a different species of human altogether, simply because of the effects of living in space on humans. As Brain and our hosts Matt Frederick, Ben Bowlin and Noel Brown point out, every question about colonizing Mars begets a million more. What do you think? Would you move to Mars? See if you agree with Brain's analysis on this milestone mission in the latest episode of the Stuff They Don't Want You To Know podcast.
The Lamborghini Urus is an upcoming super-luxury sport utility vehicle. The name looks kind of awkward, especially for those who lack an Italian accent, but the Urus follows Lamborghini's typically aggressive naming convention: Like most Lamborghini vehicles, it's an homage to a type of bull, specifically, a breed from Spain. And even though there was a big announcement in January of 2014 about the Urus' official production schedule, Lamborghini first revealed the Urus (in concept form) at the 2012 Beijing Auto Show -- nearly two years earlier. Brand representatives said then they expected the Urus to sell at a rate of about 3,000 vehicles per year, although they hadn't yet made the definite decision to produce it. Lamborghini chose to reveal the Urus in China because, at the time, economists and auto industry experts predicted that by as early as 2015, demand for luxury sport utility vehicles in the Chinese market would grow by nearly 50 percent.
