Trees obscure lines of sight; darkness impedes vision; sounds in the darkness seem ominous. Especially in remote locations, the wilderness isolates us, cutting us off from civilization and the assistance that social institutions and government agencies could otherwise provide.

In movies that combine horror with wilderness environments, characters are likewise vulnerable and helpless....
One Hundred Years of Solitude tells the story of the rise and fall, birth and death of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendiá family. Inventive, amusing, magnetic, sad, and alive with unforgettable men and women—brimming with truth, compassion, and a lyrical magic that strikes the soul—this novel is a masterpiece in the art of fiction. A labyrinth of ergodic structure, Danielewski’s novel has become a recent cult classic, and by simply opening its pages its conspicuous that there’s no other book like it: encoded typography, color-word associations, and the meticulous inclusion of mythological and metaphysical references turn this roaring institution of a novel into a Rorschach test on a Minsa scale....

While it is no longer the case, New Zealand was once governed as a part of the territory of New South Wales (later a part of Australia). When Australia federated in 1901, New Zealand was offered a place as one of their states. New Zealand refused and is its own country with no ties (other than economic and commonwealth) to Australia. A kiwi is not a fruit – it is New Zealand’s native flightless bird (pictured above) and a slang term for a New Zealander....

As a sort of bitter joke, we can look to some of the other creatures on Earth and find that they have what we wish for. Some refer to these animals, perhaps mistakenly, as biologically immortal. But they can die. The difference is in how they arrive there—without ever growing old as we do. Rather, they keep their youthful vigor right up until some other means takes them. Here are 10 animals that do not die of old age or can halt the process....
Classified as a flavivirus, Zika is primarily transmitted by mosquito. Due to its hardy vector, the virus is spread to new geographical locations with ease, making it even more of a threat to global health.

Today there is still too much unknown about the virus that’s threatening the health of so many people....

We tend to think that you find elephants in Africa and Asia, koalas in Australia, and so on. Outside of zoos and private collections, any animals that are found outside of their place of origin tend to be pests and either annoying or kind of boring. Think of rabbits, feral cats, and stray dogs that have gone semi-wild—nothing really to write home about in terms of interesting or exotic sightings....
10China’s First Emperor vs. A Gigantic Hammer By 218 B.C., Qin Shi Huang ruled as China’s first emperor. Along the way, he crushed six rival kingdoms.

He even lent his voice to Shere Khan in the animated film The Jungle Book. Even after garnering much acclaim, receiving an Oscar, and romancing several female celebrities, Sanders was not known for his happiness....
