THE OCTOPUS

Image
The octopus (plural octopuses) is a soft-bodied, eight-limbed mollusc of the order Octopoda. Around 300 species are recognised, and the order is grouped within the class Cephalopoda with squids, cuttlefish, and nautiloids. Like other cephalopods, the octopus is bilaterally symmetric with two eyes and a beak, with its mouth at the center point of the eight limbs ("tentacle" is used as an umbrella term for cephalopod limbs; however, within a teuthological context, "arm" is used to refer to such limbs while "tentacle" is reserved for feeding appendages not found on octopuses). The soft body can rapidly alter its shape, enabling octopuses to squeeze through small gaps. They trail their eight appendages behind them as they swim. The siphon is used both for respiration and for locomotion, by expelling a jet of water. Octopuses have a complex nervous system and excellent sight, and are among the most intelligent and behaviourally diverse of all invert

THE EAGLE

Image
Eagles are large, powerfully built  birds of prey , with heavy heads and beaks. Even the smallest eagles, such as the  booted eagle  ( Aquila pennata ), which is comparable in size to a  common buzzard  ( Buteo buteo ) or  red-tailed hawk  ( B. jamaicensis ), have relatively longer and more evenly broad wings, and more direct, faster flight – despite the reduced size of aerodynamic feathers. Most eagles are larger than any other raptors apart from some  vultures . The smallest species of eagle is the  South Nicobar serpent eagle  ( Spilornis klossi ), at 450 g (1 lb) and 40 cm (16 in). The largest species are discussed below. Like all birds of prey, eagles have very large, hooked  beaks  for ripping flesh from their prey, strong, muscular legs, and powerful  talons . The beak is typically heavier than that of most other birds of prey. Eagles' eyes are extremely powerful. It is estimated that the  martial eagle , whose eye is more than twice as long as a human eye, has a

THE DEADLIEST SWORDS IN HISTORY

1. The Urumi Source =Ancient-origins Created at the time of Mauryan dynasty of India (circa 350-150 BCE), the Urumi is a sword that acts like a metal whip when swung.

In today’s time, many blades are attached to the same grip in order to increase effectiveness. 2. Chinese Hook Sword Source =Shopify Chinese Hook Sword are the deadly weapons that not have curved ends but have sharp, hand-protecting guards also. Most often, they were  handled in pairs.

Kantanka Automobile  was established in 1994 by  Emeritus Professor   Apostle Dr. Ing. Kwadwo Safo Kantanka  and incorporated as  Limited Liability Company in 2004  to research into the manufacturing of  automotive  components and their combination with other parts outsourced from component suppliers to form a complete built unit. In 1998, the first  Complete Built Unit (CBU)  was manufactured using over 75% of local components, locally manufactured including the  engine block . By 2006, the first  SUV (ONANTEFO)  was manufactured. Kantanka vehicles are assembled in Ghana from  CKD (Complete Knock Down) kits  supplied by a Chinese firm, possible  Foday  through  Chongqing Big Science & Technology . Kantanka is alleged to have manufactured military hardware such as armored personnel carriers, tanks, and helicopters. However these devices appear to be civilian vehicles with spare sheet metal attached, and use firework rockets as their primary weapons system. They've d
