<video:title>Sea Sponge Facts: 10 facts about Sea Sponges</video:title>
<video:description><![CDATA[Here are 10 facts about sea sponges to help gain a better understanding of this fascinating creature of the deep sea. 

The corresponding post is here http://goo.gl/0u3eYy

Synopsis


10. Sea sponges are animals which neither have neither a central nervous system of a brain.

9. They are found on the floor of the ocean attaching them leaves to solid rocks. They do not have the ability move around

8. Sea sponges appear as dark in water as they have a dark membrane that covers them which is like a skin for them. This gives them good cover for the skeleton.

7. They are able to reproduce by coupling up with other sea sponges. A male sperm is ejected by the male and is caught by the female and the fertilization of her eggs begins. When they are ready tiny larvae are ejected and they settle on the ocean floor and will grow into sea sponges

6. They feed by consuming water, ocean particles and plankton and then filtering the water out and swallowing the food that they need

5. Sea sponges get their oxygen from the flowing water

4. Around the world there are around 5000 species of sea sponge that exist

3. They have amazing powers of regeneration and have the ability to reform parts of the bodies that get broken off. Even more mind blowing The pieces that are broken off can also settle somewhere else and form into a clone of their parent sponge

2. When they are harvested, those collecting them leave the roots intact so that they can regenerate and grow back to their original form

1. When they are not harvested they have a lifespan of around 10 years in the wild.

<video:title>New discovery: sea sponges moving in the arctic ocean</video:title>
<video:description><![CDATA[Researchers suggest that sea sponges are moving across the Arctic Ocean's seafloor. This new belief challenges the idea that these animals are sessile.

Other studies have shown that sponges can make limited expanding and contracting movements in a laboratory setting. This is the first scientist have observed sea sponge trails, attributed to movement.

Many thanks to Sally Leys and Danielle Ludeman from University of Alberta for the sea sponge in laboratory setting footage. Original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNUCMW-404s

Marine microorganisms living on algae and sponges produce substances that may one day help to develop new medicines. Maybe even the cure for cancer can be found in the ocean.

<video:title>How to Sponge Paint a Wall | Paint Techniques</video:title>
<video:description><![CDATA[Watch more How to Do Decorative Painting videos: http://www.howcast.com/videos/508617-How-to-Sponge-Paint-a-Wall-Paint-Techniques



Today we're going to learn how to sponge paint walls. Even though we are saying paint, we are actually using a glaze, whether you've mixed it yourself or you bought it from a store.

After you've colored your glaze to whatever color you want on your walls, you take your sponge, which is a sea sponge. Always remember that this needs to be dampened before you dip it into the glaze, otherwise you're going to not have a very good result on your walls.

Some of the sponging that I've seen when people are not familiar in how to do this technique is that they will actually just use it like this. You almost get a feeling like they are paw prints on the wall. In order to avoid this and to get a very, very smooth look on the walls, you have to keep smushing it around, but taking care that actually lift up your sponge after every time you touch the surface.

The whole idea of this technique is for it to be a very consistent and even finish. A lot of sponge painting is still done as a basis for marbling. It's a very simple technique of sponge painting using your base color and your glaze color, which three colors that you have; a mid-tone, a low-tone and high-tone.

This is how we sponge paint a wall using glaze. It's also one of the basic techniques that is used under marbleizing.]]></video:description>
