SCHUMANN: Concerto for piano and Orchestra.
Terje Mikkelsen graduated from the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki where he studied with Jorma Panula. An equally important influence was Mariss Jansons with whom Mikkelsen studied privately in Oslo and in St Petersburg.
To date Mikkelsen has been principal conductor of the national orchestras in the Ukraine, Latvia and Thüringen, principal conductor in Shanghai, principal guest conductor in Lithuania and of the Moscow Tchaikovsky Orchestra with whom he toured Norway and England during the previous season. Mikkelsen also visited England with the Czech National Orchestra and toured Spain with St Martin in the Fields, Azerbaijan with the New Russia Orchestra, took part in an exchange programme in Ho Chi Minh City and an environmental project for the World Bank in Mongolia. He has been a visiting professor at the College of Music at the Mahidon University in Bangkok since 2001; he loves to travel! Preferably with Lufthansa – or by car.
Mikkelsen frequently conducts the Munich Radio Orchestra with whom he traveled to Spain in November 2011 to perform Eyvind Alnæs' first symphony. The occasion also marked the release of the orchestra's CD of four works for orchestra by Finn Mortensen. This was not the first time Mikkelsen recorded Norwegian music with an orchestra from abroad. He recorded most of the dramatic music and works for orchestra by Halvorsen and Svendsen with the Latvian orchestra, and in 2009 the released a recording of Alnæs' 'forgotten' symphonies which stayed at the top of the German classical music charts for several weeks. In total Mikkelsen has made some fifty recordings, twenty of which are of Norwegian music.
Most of the recordings were made with the assistance of EMI's senior sound engineer at Abbey Road Studios – Sir Paul McCartney's sound technician – Arne Axelberg. Mikkelsen and Axelberg have been collaborating ever since Mikkelsen conducted the wind band Opus 82 in the 1980s. Axelberg has witnessed his friend's immense musical development.
"How can it be that a wonderful composer like Alnæs is so little known? Do you have the same expression as we have about being a prophet in your own country?" he wonders, stating that Mikkelsen is a true patriot constantly taking Norwegian music on tour. Melinte also wonders why Mikkelsen never travels with a Norwegian orchestra.
Quite a testimony. Andrew Jamieson, tour manager for the Oslo Philharmonic at IMG, who organized Mikkelsen's England visits 2010, is in full agreement with Melinte's words.
The time has come for us to have a chat with the maestro ourselves. KM is curious as to why he has focused so much on the new Eastern Europe.
What is the reason for your programming so much Norwegian music?
As simple as that? Grieg, Halvorsen and Svendsen for a 17th of May programme is one thing, but getting a German orchestra to record an entire CD of Mortensen is not something you achieve overnight!
As equally important as touring Tchaikovsky and Alnæs are Terje Mikkelsen's activities with film music, rock and jazz for symphony orchestra. His collaboration with rock legend Keith Emerson (of Emerson, Lake & Palmer from the 1970s) has lasted since 2006 when they met in Beijing where Emerson was soloist in Ginastera's piano concerto.
And when will we have the chance of hearing this in Norway?
"We would love to come," says Emerson, who fondly recalls performing at Oslo's legendary Club 7 back in the day.

Terje Mikkelsen undoubtedly has a certain sense for bringing great, unknown music to his listeners. He was the first to record Grieg' symphony, and has recently released premiere recordings by composers including Svendsen, Halvorsen, Alnæs and Tellefsen. As the second recording in a close co-operation together with the Münchner Rundfunkorchester, Mikkelsen is releasing the highly rewarding and rich orchestral works of Finn Mortensen.
Finn Mortensen (1922-83) is one of those composers whose ideas and aesthetics seems to come into vogue long after their own time. The first Professor of composition at the Norwegian Academy of Music, Mortensen became the inspirator for a generation of composers, bringing ideas first hand from Darmstadt as well as Stockhausen's master classes at Studio für Elektronische Musik.
Very much inspired by Bruckner, Finn Mortensen's symphony is a structural masterpiece in a late romantic style, loaded in emotional content. It has been commented on how Mortensen, himself audibly (?) a natural romantic, could become the foremost spokesman for international modernism in Norway. To him twelve-note music possessed an obvious great potential for emotional expressivity. In the time to come his compositions became much freer, and in his "neo-serial" compositional style of 1970 melodic and tonal elements played an important part.
"Something as rare as an extrovert, proactive, conductor. Mikkelsen is an enabler; one who makes things happen." This is the characteristic from IMG's Andrew Jaimeson, and it is a precise description of the man who studied with Mariss Jansons during his many years in Oslo, as well as with Panula at the Sibelius Academy. Now, some 50 CD releases later, Terje Mikkelsen inspires and gets results with the top orchestras. In 2010 he toured with St. Martin in the Fields in Spain. The same year In 2010 he brought the Tchaikovsky Orchestra for a big tour in the UK to great critical acclaim, returning in 2011 with Czech National Symphony orchestra. In November this year he will take the München Rundfunkorchester on a tour to Spain where they among other works will perform the first symphony by Eyvind Alnæs.
Having held the post as Chief Conductor in Riga, Türingen and Kiev, Mikkelsen is also in demand for his great abilities with such artists as Misha Maisky, Renee Fleming, John Lill and Michael Rudy. Now in September 2011, Mikkelsen leads the Münchner Rundfunkorchester in a spectacular recording with Keith Emerson on piano and keyboards in his famous compositions "Tarkus", "The Endless Enigma", "Piano Concerto" and a world premiere of his newly written work, "After all of This".
"Reviews from American Record Guide"
American audiences. Mikkelsen's vision and direction is a key element.
Eyvind Alnaes (1872-1932) was a gifted Norwegian composer who remains all but forgotten today, unlike Edvard Grieg, Christian Sinding, and Johan Svendsen—all of them along with Alnaes students of Carl Reinecke in Leipzig. Alnaes inherited from his father an affinity for choral music and songs even before embarking on his formal education at the Music and Organists' College in Kristiania (now Oslo). His songs have been recorded by Kirsten Flagstad and Feodor Chaliapin, among others; our resident Scandinavian music expert Carl Bauman reviewed a Simax collection by soprano Bodil Arnesen and compared his songs favorably to both Grieg and Sibelius (Nov/Dec 1994). I must confess I found his D-major Piano Concerto (completed in 1913) inventive, yet hardly memorable, for all its imposing Wagnerian scoring (July/Aug 2007); and a second hearing while compiling this review merely confirmed my initial impression. Yet I sat transfixed all through both of these highly stimulating symphonies that bestride the concerto on either side: one from 1897-98 and the other from 1923. Together they make for an extremely well-filled disc; and if you enjoy Nordic music you may want to stop reading right now and seek out this new Sterling. Sterling's founder Bo Hyttner describes the First Symphony of Alnaes as "personal...nothing less than an emotional experience". That sentiment, as it happens, was clearly shared by the audience at the premiere; the critic Ulrik Mork wrote that in this seminal effort "inspiration goes hand in hand with a highly developed feeling for tonal color", adding that "much can be expected of a young man who has written something as beautiful as the Andante of this symphony". Indeed annotator Audun Jonassen calls this 12-minute span (actually designated Adagio) "perhaps the most beautiful slow movement ever written by a Norwegian composer"; and it's difficult to demur on hearing it unfold from the warm and wonderfully expressive Latvian strings.
Under Mikkelsen it does seem closer to Andante; I have a feeling that in less sympathetic hands a noticeably slower tempo might reduce Alnaes's impassioned flow of melody to something far more ordinary. (Note for example the ethereal quality of the string writing at 6:20—sheer bliss!) So the Adagio is easily the centerpiece of the symphony. But like me you may find yourself humming or whistling the opening movement (Allegro patetico—"with feeling") that Jonassen thinks is reminiscent of Tchaikovsky's Fourth. Actually, this music sounds so much like the Tchaikovsky—written 20 years earlier—that I have to believe Alnaes intended it as homage to a cherished model.
This material is worked up to a fare-thee-well both by Alnaes and Mikkelsen and contrasts effectively with the Adagio; in turn the Scherzo has little compelling character of its own but merely serves to set up the far more interesting finale, built around a march-like motif that starts out innocently enough in the violas, yet on reaching full force reminded me very much of the Scherzo from Brahms's piano quintet. Through sheer manic energy it builds relentlessly to a shattering climax startlingly close to its counterpart in the First Symphony of Johan Svendsen (8:27) before forceful claps of the timpani herald the ringing conclusion. While the Second Symphony followed the first by some 25 years, the opening movement sounds as youthful and guileless as anything by a graduate music student—bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and eager to please. From that ecstatic revel we're brought down to earth with the Lento; from the designation "quasi una marcia funebre" it is clear that it was intended as a eulogy for a close friend (the Danish publisher Alfred Wilhelm Hansen). If the opening movement of the C-minor Symphony seems modeled after the Tchaikovsky Fourth, here we may clearly hear echoes of the Pathetique, filled out by heavy rolling of the drums that might evoke the steady tread of the caisson. The Scherzo seems closer to Sullivan than any Nordic model; the woodwinds disport tongue in cheek over spirited busywork from the violins, with the smug bassoon getting in the last word.
In the finale Alnaes makes free use of the halling—a hearty Norwegian folk dance often heard from Grieg—spelled by a far trickier rhythm that requires the musicians to play with the greatest precision; and if the Latvian players are not always entirely spot-on, they are still mightily impressive, given Mikkelsen's bracing tempos. Had Bo Hyttner simply signed on some patchwork studio ensemble to sight-read the Alnaes symphonies, no doubt we would still have a more than adequate makeweight. But he has done so much more than that: he has put up the big bucks to get Terje Mikkelsen and his splendid Latvian orchestra, who have already contributed so many marvelous recordings of Svendsen's music to the catalog. And both sonics and annotations are beyond reproach.
In sum, all involved have done nobly by this music; certainly you should repay the favor by adding it to your shelf without hesitation.
As far as I can tell, the Norwegian composer Ole Olsen—not to be confused with his more modern countryman Sparre Olsen or the Dane Poul Rovsing Olsen (July/Aug 2004) or the Swede Otto Olsson (Mar/Apr 1997)—has heretofore surfaced in these pages only through the heartfelt Funeral March included in the first collection of "Norwegian Classical Favorites" for Naxos (May/June 2004, p 192). Clearly that is our loss, if we can judge fairly by the very impressive works on offer here. Grove's tells us little about Olsen, so the extensive discussion by Audun Sannes Jonassen is quite helpful. From the text we may glean the familiar narrative of a precocious and immensely talented lad born into a musical family, at first intended to follow an entirely unrelated career (Grove's says an engineer, the present notes a watchmaker) until it was clear his true destiny could no longer be denied. We find that by the age of 4 he had already taught himself to read music; his first piece, somewhere between a polka and a march, came a year later. At 7 he was ready to take his father's place as organist for church services. When he was 18 his first attempt at writing for the stage, encouraged by a visiting Danish theater company, was a great success; and two years later he commenced serious studies with Reinecke in Leipzig. His first symphony, written during this prolific time of his life, is largely lost, though the notes tell us the surviving Adagio was praised by the critics (if faintly, as the specter of Wagner clearly loomed overhead) together with the 'Folkedans' from his first grand opera Stig Hvide—too bad room wasn't found for them too. He also obtained much helpful advice from Grieg, whose muse often surfaces here as well. This outstanding composer and mentor from the northernmost town of Hammerfest deserves to be remembered along with Grieg, Svendsen, Halvorsen, and Sinding as foremost among the great Norwegian composers.
Only three years separate the critically acclaimed Adagio of Olsen's stillborn symphony from the G-major heard here; thus it's tempting to hear in the expansive and songful Andante what might have been. Surely this rapt cantilena is the true centerpiece of the symphony. I can hear Grieg in the rhapsodic second subject, but though Jonassen calls our attention to the First Symphony of Svendsen in the opening theme I'm reminded even more of Bruch's Scottish Fantasy and in particular the folk song 'Auld Rob Morris' from the first movement. But I'm certainly willing to grant a kinship with Svendsen in the second subject— as with the main theme perhaps more motivic than melodic—and in the swaggering unison brass writing (0:15f) even early Nielsen, while the nattering woodwind writing that spurs on the exhilarating development suggests that Tchaikovsky influenced the young Olsen as well. Most inventive of the lot is the Scherzo that unfolds as a sequence of episodes, each announced by the same motif, rather like a theme and variations structured as an elaborate quadrille. Jonassen tells us "the reviews were...generally very positive, even if the various critics could not agree about which movement was the finest". I'm guessing odd man out was the finale: it does go on, and there are so many different themes and subthemes it's difficult to keep track of them. The central one may be a chipper tune that seems rhythmically identical to the 'Chorus of Villagers' that launches Smetana's Bartered Bride. But Olsen keeps things moving right along, and it's hard to keep a sour face when everyone is clearly having such a high old time, right up to what Jonassen calls "a humorous concluding kick up the backside" that Mikkelsen and his expert Latvian players dispatch with great relish. In the cult TV favorite Stargate SG-1 the Asgard are a highly advanced and benevolent race of aliens (in appearance much like the familiar Roswell "Greys") who led by their Supreme Commander Thor gave rise to early Norse mythology on Earth. Long before that, Stan Lee immortalized "The Mighty Thor" together with "Tales of Asgard" for legions of Marvel Comics devotees. Yet predating both of these, the highly graphic and vivid poem Asgaardsreien (The Ride of Asgaard) by Johann Sebastian Welhaven, published in 1845, inspired the symphonic poem by Ole Olsen. Some fleeting notion of the scope and grandeur of this saga may be gleaned from the gorgeous painting by Peter Nicolai Arbo that graces the cover; it is a richly detailed tapestry that strains mightily against the constraints of the silver disc, and in fact cries out for the detail an LP could offer. Like Wagner's Valkyries, the fearsome host led by Thor strides across the heavens, plucking up mere mortals seemingly at whim as they go. In Welhaven's poem they come on a wedding feast disrupted by a jealous suitor, the "berserker" Grim, who together with his brother Ulv viciously attacks the bridegroom; he fights back and mortally wounds Grim, but Ulv almost manages to dispatch the unfortunate lad until "through the air in the darkness rushed...a shouting procession of snorting horses" and Ulv is carried "far away, nowhere to be found". Here Olsen recaps the earlier imagery to let us know all ends well: the bridegroom recovers from his wounds and lives long enough to tell the tale to a new generation of wide-eyed village youngsters.
The opening pages make one think Bald Mountain might have somehow been transported to Norway, and Mikkelsen piles into it like a man possessed; still for all the headlong fire and brimstone I can't help noticing a marked rhythmic similarity to the opening sally of Svendsen's First Symphony, while the sprightly nuptials with their clear evocation of the traditional Hardanger fiddle come very close to the 'Wedding Dance' from Peer Gynt. What Grieg himself might have thought about all of that is not entirely clear; but the notes suggest he was none too happy on hearing his own music reflected in Olsen's Suite for Strings, itself derived from incidental music for Johan Nordahl Brun Rolfsen's fairy tale comedy Svein Uraed. And no wonder; for not only is much of the suite very reminiscent of Peer Gynt—notably the opening 'Song' and the wistful 'Spring'—but on top of that the hero, whose name (the notes helpfully inform us) might be translated as "Johnny Fearless", is compelled to "journey around the world in search of a princess" and along the way, just like Peer Gynt, encounters trolls and elves who are clearly more civilized than the Mountain King's minions as they prefer waltzes to more raucous fare. The concluding section, 'Sunset', is Olsen's best-known song and the heart and soul of the suite, rapt and serene. As with their numerous recordings of Svendsen— not to mention the very fine pairing of symphonies by Eyvind Alnaes welcomed in the last issue—the Latvian players under Terje Mikkelsen's committed leadership make a strong case for this unfamiliar music and are supported nobly by the Riga engineers. I'm pleased to recommend one more splendid entry in Sterling's "Norwegian Romantics" series.

Q: Getting 403 when trying to download an image I'm trying to download a few pictures from a website using Python. These are a couple of them:

When opening the picture URLs directly in my browser, they open without problems. But when using a simple Python script I keep getting a 403 error message. Is there a way to get past this error?
First I tried a simple requests.get like this:
tshirt_pic = requests.get("https://www.innovasport.com/medias/playera-nike-jordan-jumpman-is-CJ0921-011-1.png?context=bWFzdGVyfGltYWdlc3w1MDg4MnxpbWFnZS9wbmd8aW1hZ2VzL2g3ZS9oMjgvOTc1OTk4MjY4MjE0Mi5wbmd8NTZlODA5YzhmMDZmOGMyYTBkODliMGM3NGE0NGE0YzBlOThhMTAzM2ZmMWMyODM4M2ZjNTVjNmNmZWExM2VkNw").content
with open('my_pic.png', 'wb') as file:
    file.write(tshirt_pic)

But the only thing it downloaded was the error html.
Then, investigating a bit, I got suggestions of using the chrome developer Network options for getting the request cURL, translating it using https://curlconverter.com/ and finally use it for all picture requests from the site. But that didn't work either. I got the cURL, got it translated, and used it in my code, like this, but still go the 403 error.

Yasmin® Side Effects
Yasmin, also known as Yaz and Ocella, is a widely prescribed oral contraceptive inked to increased risks of side effects including Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), Gall Bladder Disease, Liver Disease, Pulmonary embolism (PE), Heart attack, Stroke, Kidney failure, Pancreatitis, Death, and Blood clots in the lung, brain, or leg.
If you or someone you love has taken Yasmin, Yaz, or Ocella and is suffering from a Yasmin related side effect, you may be eligible for financial compensation. You should speak with an experienced Yasmin Attorney to learn about your rights.
Why are there Yasmin Lawsuits?
Yasmin is a fourth generation oral contraceptive containing the newer synthetic hormones drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol. Yasmin entered the market in the US in 2001, and Yaz was introduced in 2006 as a low-dose version of Yasmin.
Yasmin / Yaz was aggressively marketed by the drug maker in the USA without adequate warnings for patients and doctors about the potentially deadly side effects associated with Yasmin use. The side effects caused by Yasmin are linked to the synthetic hormone drospirenone which is a diuretic. Yasmin can change the body's balance of salt and water causing elevated potassium levels, or hyperkalemia. Hyperkalemia is known to cause health issues that include heart problems.
Symptoms of hyperkalemia include a slow or weak pulse, nausea, irregular heartbeats. When Yasmin causes even higher levels of potassium blood pooling may occur, leading to dangerous Yasmin side effects like heart attacks, strokes, and blood clots.
Lawsuits against the maker of Yasmin / Yaz are being filed by women all throughout the country who have suffered from a Yasmin related side effect. Side effects caused by Yasmin are serious and life threatening and may include gall bladder disease or removal, blood clots in the leg, head, or lung, heat attack, or stroke. The manufacturer didn't include adequate warning to patients and doctors about the potentially deadly Yasmin side effects.
FDA orders Yasmin label change
The FDA received new data regarding the dangers of Yasmin, Yaz, and Ocella. Two recently published studies evaluated whether Yasmin and other products containing the synthetic hormone drospirenone were linked to an increased chance of blood clots in women. The FDA found that the studies supported the association of Yasmin and Yaz two to three times the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in women using Yasmin or Yaz.
The FDA has ordered the maker of Yasmin/ Yaz to update all labels and marketing material to include clear information about the risks of Yasmin causing venous thromboembolism (VTE) and blood clots in women taking Yasmin, Yaz, or Ocella.
Yasmin side effects may include
Pulmonary embolism (PE)
Free Yasmin case review
If you or a loved one has been harmed by taking Yasmin and is experiencing side effects such as gall bladder disease, blood clots, DVT, PE, stroke, or heart attack, you may be entitled to financial compensation for your medical bills, loss of work, and suffering.

"These sessions have completely changed my attitude to exercise. It is so enjoyable to exercise in a group where we all have the freedom to tune into our bodies and move in a way that suits how we feel. Harmony in Movement is not just a 'catchy' name. This is exactly what you can experience when you listen to your body and move according to what you feel"
Fiona Lotherington, Lismore,
"I feel what my body needs, what type of exercise, and what level - depending on how my body feels that day. This is a great difference compared to the push through that we are taught, no matter how our bodies are feeling. I feel more energised and more connected to myself throughout the rest of the day"
Rebekah Muntelwit, Vancouver,
"With Harmony In Movement I have learnt how to stay with my body during exercise rather than checking out to music as I used to do. Aside from being more fun, it leaves me feeling invigorated, very connected with myself and vital"
Jenny Ellis, Brisbane,
"With my schedule, it was difficult for me to get to a gym, so having these sessions via the internet has been hugely supportive and doesn't take anything away from the quality of this program"
Sara Harris, Melbourne, Australia
"Previously I exercised for the sake of it, to relieve stress, or to punish myself because I was too heavy, or ate too much. Now to exercise like I am is amazing. I feel stronger on the inside, like the exercise is nourishing my body, rather than hammering it as I had done in the past"
Anna McCormack, Goonallabah, Australia
"As I incorporated the exercise into my workouts I found that I accessed a depth, quality and feeling in my body like no other exercise regime that I have tried before… and that's in 30 years of exercising"
Rob Moussalli, Gold Coast, Australia
"Keeping in check with my body, and giving it the chance to move in the way that it wants to, has helped make a massive difference to the way I feel in general. I am much happier and energetic, and I feel good about myself. I appreciate my body more now and I find it easier to not overeat or eat crappy foods"
Emily Rutherford, Brisbane, Australia

Libertarian candidate Johnson blasts Trump comments
ALBUQUERQUE — Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson denounced lewd comments made by Donald Trump on Saturday, saying the remarks disqualify him from being president.
Libertarian candidate Johnson blasts Trump comments ALBUQUERQUE — Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson denounced lewd comments made by Donald Trump on Saturday, saying the remarks disqualify him from being president. Check out this story on lcsun-news.com: http://lcsun.co/2dVkJQL
The Associated Press Published 5:22 p.m. MT Oct. 8, 2016
Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson, far left, denounces lewd comments made by Donald Trump, saying the remarks disqualify him from being president at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, N.M., Saturday, Oct. 8, 2016. The former New Mexico governor says that Trump has said around 150 things that should have ended his campaign but "maybe this is the one that puts him over the top."(Photo: Russell Contreras/The Associated Press)
"It's not acceptable to have the president of the United States speak in that manner," Johnson said.
He told reporters before a scheduled rally in Albuquerque that he has never used language like that to describe women in his entire life.
The former New Mexico governor said that Trump has said around 150 things that should have ended his campaign but "maybe this is the one that puts him over the top."
A political firestorm was sparked by a video obtained and released Friday by The Washington Post and NBC News. In the video, Trump, who was married to his current wife at the time, is heard describing attempts to have sex with a married woman to an anchor on the entertainment show, "Access Hollywood." He also brags about women letting him kiss them and grab their genitals because he is famous.
Trump apologized in a video statement released by his campaign early Saturday morning.
Johnson told The Associated Press that he and vice-presidential nominee Bill Weld are "an honorable alternative" to Republicans who can no longer support Trump.
Polls show Johnson has the highest percentage of support in his home state. Campaign representatives say he could win the state's five electoral votes.
Johnson is trying to woo voters in the wake of his own public misfires. Last month, he flubbed a question about the war-torn Syria city of Aleppo. During a town hall appearance, he failed to think of a name of a foreign leader he admires.

Rat snakes are members – along with kingsnakes, milk snakes, vine snakes and indigo snakes – of the subfamily Colubrinae of the family Colubridae. They are medium to large constrictors and are found throughout much of the Northern Hemisphere.  They feed primarily on rodents. Many species make attractive and docile pets and one, the corn snake, is one of the most popular reptile pets in the world. As with all snakes, they can be defensive when approached too closely, handled, or restrained. However, rat snake bites are not dangerous to humans. Like nearly all colubrids, rat snakes pose no threat to humans. Rat snakes were long believed to be completely nonvenomous, but recent studies have shown that some Old World species do possess small amounts of venom, though the amount is negligible relative to humans.

Previously, most rat snakes were assigned to the genus Elaphe, but many have been since renamed following mitochondrial DNA analysis performed in 2002.  For the purpose of this article, names will be harmonized with the TIGR Database.

Taxonomy
In recent years, some taxonomic controversy has occurred over the genus of North American rat snakes.  Based on mitochondrial DNA, Utiger et al. (2002) showed that North American rat snakes of the genus Elaphe, along with closely related genera such as Pituophis and Lampropeltis, form a monophyletic group separate from Old World members of the genus. They therefore suggested the resurrection of the available name Pantherophis Fitzinger for all North American taxa (north of Mexico). Crother et al. (2008) accepted the taxonomic change to Pantherophis.

Venom
Like nearly all colubrids, rat snakes pose no threat to humans. Although rat snakes were long believed to be completely nonvenomous, recent studies have shown that some Old World species do possess small amounts of venom, though the amount is negligible relative to humans. Rat snakes usually hunt and kill mice by biting with their teeth and suffocate them by constriction of its own body.

In captivity
Rat snakes are commonly kept as pets by reptile enthusiasts. The corn snake, one of the most popular pet reptiles, is a rat snake. New World species are generally thought to be more docile in captivity as opposed to Old World rat snakes, of which the opposite is assumed.

Effects of climate change on rat snakes

Positive impacts
All snakes are ectotherm species, meaning they depend on the temperature of the environment to maintain homeostasis. Although it is predicted that the current rate of climate change will be too rapid for many reptiles and amphibian species to adapt or to evolve, studies have suggested that a warmer climate may actually be beneficial to rat snake species. Global warming also poses less threats to rat snakes in temperate zones than in tropical zones as rat snake species in temperate zones can tolerate broader ranges of temperature. Global climate change will increase both day and night time temperatures. This will make the night time environment more thermally suitable for rat snakes to hunt, thereby making them more active at night. Increasing night time activity allows rat snakes to catch larger prey such as birds, since female birds usually incubate their eggs in the nest at night and have decreased ability to detect rat snakes due to poor visibility conditions. Global warming may also lead to changes in predation. Rat snakes are prey species to predators like hawks. While rat snakes are being hunted during the day, being more active at night due to warmer temperatures may allow rat snakes to be less vulnerable to predation from hawks. A warming climate also enhances food digestion in rat snakes thereby making them more efficient, which enables rat snake individuals to grow larger in size and allowing them to consume more prey. In comparison to rat snake species at relatively colder regions, rat snake species at lower latitudes tend to be larger in size due to warmer climate conditions. As the global climate warms, the average body size of rat snakes at higher latitudes will become larger, which will allow the species to catch more prey and thus increase their overall reproductive success.

Negative impacts
Eastern rat snake species in North America are experiencing negative shifts in their behaviour due to Global Warming and increasing temperatures. These shifts differ between the large distribution of rat snakes that range from Ontario to Texas. The increasing Global Warming can negatively impact this species and can be responsible for  population declines in some areas.

Rat snake populations from their northern range, such as Ontario, are experiencing a shift in hibernation emergence. The populations in these regions typically emerge from hibernation in late April. However, the increasing variability in temperature may cause rat snakes to emerge on a warm sunny day in the months of February or March. Climate change has caused winters that can have weather turn back very quickly from sunny periods with high temperatures to snow and below freezing temperatures. The early emergence of these rat snakes will begin to expose them to these fatal conditions if a snake cannot return to its hibernaculum in time. Therefore, the fluctuations in temperature affect the thermoregulation that rat snakes need for bodily functions like digestion and movement. The unpredictability of the weather is causing more rat snakes in their northern range to get caught in these cold snaps and freeze to death.

Increasing temperatures due to climate change have increased the nocturnal activity of rat snakes, especially in warmer climates such as Texas. This has allowed them to alter their predation habits and feed more on nesting birds and other accessible prey. However, their increased nocturnal activity puts them at risk to a new range of nocturnal predators. Rat snakes may not be used to the presence of nocturnal predators such as raccoons and owls and may be more vulnerable as prey. Until rat snakes are able to adapt to their relatively new predators, populations may be at risk due to heavy predation.

Life history alterations in Ontario gray rat snakes
As rat snakes are ectothermic species, they require sunlight and heat to maintain their body temperatures. Across their range in North America each species of rat snake has different ideal body temperatures. In Ontario, the average ideal body temperature of a rat snake is 28.1 degrees Celsius with free ranging gravid females tending to require a bit higher in order to meet their thermoregulatory requirements for gestation. With ambient air temperatures over the course of their entire active season (from May to September) almost never reaching the required 28.1 °C, rat snakes in Ontario resort to basking habitats where conditions allow temperatures to rise above normal and up to 43 degrees Celsius at the hottest times of day and year. These habitats include areas such as rock outcrops, bare ground, or edge habitat where they can bask on tree branches fully exposed to the sun. However, with climate change and an associated increase in ambient air temperature by 3 °C, the amount of required time spent by snakes in these habitats will decrease. This will result in alterations in the amount and time of activity of rat snakes in the province. They will have the potential to be generally more active during both the day and night as it will be easier for them to maintain their ideal body temperature. Habitat choices may also shift with increased temperatures. More time could be spent in areas such as forests or barns where the temperatures are currently too low for the snakes to spend most of their time. There will be less of a need to expose themselves in their open basking habitats, causing decreases in predator vulnerability as well as increases in thermoregulatory ability and foraging time. In addition, rat snakes in Ontario have a slower growth and maturation rates due to the cooler climate and shorter active seasons compared to other species of rat snakes further South in North America. This means that Ontario's rat snakes are more vulnerable to population declines. But, with an increase in temperature and an increase in the duration of the active season from climate change, it is possible that the growth and maturation rates of these snakes will increase.

Here are some exclusive pictures from Mani Ratnam's forthcoming film Guru... and remember you saw it first only on IndiaFM.
Firstly we see Abhishek Bachchan in a clean shaven look after a very long time. It is rumored that he is playing the reel life role of the late business magnate Dhirubai Ambani. Check him out in his polished suit in this title role. On the right corner is him again in another look, however this time being more casual with a cap on.
In the picture in the middle we see Abhishek and none other than Mallika Sherawat on a horse carriage somewhere in Europe. This is taken from the special 'item number' song that has been picturized on Mallika. The song is the only part of the film where she will be prevalent.
Apart from Abhishek Guru also stars Aishwarya Rai as his lady love with Vidya Balan, R Madhavan, Arya Babbar and Mithun Chakravarthy in pivotal roles.

Six continents and 23 countries: Cara (Hanson) Decker '10 and Jeffrey Decker '09 spent the past year on a grand tour of the planet.
Why limit ourselves to a two-week honeymoon when we could travel the world for a year instead?
That's the question Cara (Hanson) Decker '10 and Jeffrey Decker '09 asked themselves while planning their wedding. The pair secured good engineering jobs in Virginia after leaving Michigan Technological University, and their plans for getting hitched came in under budget. That, coupled with household budgeting, allowed the Deckers to save $55,000, leave their jobs and live the dream.
One of the Deckers' favorite stops was Angkor Wat, Siem Reap, in Cambodia.
The pair cut out small things like cable TV and limited eating out to save some money for the trip, but they also made the decision to structure their lives to live on one salary and save the other.
After reading a number of blogs written by other people traveling the world and flipping through travel guides (the Deckers recommend the Lonely Planet series), the couple was able to make an educated guess about the cost of such a trip. It seemed reasonable to spend $135 a day, with prices in more expensive countries balanced out by cheaper costs in other countries. They kept a running spreadsheet of daily expenses to stay under budget.
Cara and Jeff each made a list of the top 10 places they would like to visit; happily, the couple had similar destinations in mind. They hung up a world map and marked their planned stops for about three months of the 12-month trip. The remainder of the trip was planned while they traveled.
Those pins on the map became six continents and 23 countries, all experienced while living out of 50-liter backpacks: Iceland, Finland, Sweden, Poland, U.K., France, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Italy, Greece, Tanzania, U.A.E., India, Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Peru.
It's said the surest way to understand a culture is to smell and taste it. And if the copious pictures of food on their blog are any indication, it's clear the Deckers have enthusiastically embraced sampling the local cuisine on their travels. Be forewarned—you will likely become incredibly hungry looking at the images on their "Engineered Wanderlust" blog, but on occasion the pair has ended up staring down at a dish that appears less than appetizing.
Mango sticky rice. Conveyor belt sushi. Grilled piranha. Whether preparing the meal themselves during a cooking class in Peru or watching their meal prepared in a roadside lean-to, the pair's culinary adventures during their year abroad have been boundless. The Deckers have found that embracing local cuisines has translated into embracing the ways they've changed and grown during their travels.
The Deckers note that not every minute of their experience has been glamorous or fun. They battled gastric issues. They were tricked into paying a non-existent baggage storage fee during a bus ride. They came up close and personal with the Indian rupee crisis during their time in India. It has been important for them to spend time just relaxing and planning the next legs of their trip. By building time in to recharge rather than check off every attraction from their list they've been able to keep up their stamina for travel.
The couple says that their favorite stops of the trip were the Highlands of Scotland, Greece, Vietnam and New Zealand. And happily, their travels have been punctuated by visits from family who have tagged along for a leg of the trip, or by staying with friends.
Cara and Jeff said that one of their favorite countries they visited was Vietnam. This photo shows them kayaking in Ha Long Bay.
During her time at Michigan Tech, Cara spent a summer participating in research in Bolivia and another in Tanzania as part of her International Sustainable Development Engineering certificate. She kept in touch with students from those countries, and was able to reconnect when the Deckers visited Tanzania. The couple also started their trip with Tony Oxley '10, '11 and Sara Maihofer '10 by going with them to Finland to visit Sara's family. The Deckers also randomly bumped into Bri Drake '10, '15 in Sweden.
The Deckers return from their trip this week and hope to settle in Michigan. Their year abroad has been quite literally the experience of a lifetime.
"The world is as big and scary, or as small and intimate as you make it," Cara says, adding that she appreciates living in a time when travel is easy. "Don't be satisfied with pictures from books or the internet. Get outside of your comfort zone and open yourself to new experiences. Don't be afraid to start small, like checking out a new park on the other side of town. You won't regret it!"
And if quitting a job to travel the world for a year sounds daunting, consider the benefits of living on the cheap and seeing a different corner of the planet every day rather than the same cubicle corner daily.
