How long does a golden orb weaver live?
Feb 21, 2020 Alissa BradleyLifehacks
Do orb weavers survive winter?
How can you tell if an orb weaver is male or female?
Can you relocate orb weaver spider?
What is another name for a golden orb weaver?
about 12 months
The life span is about 12 months. They mature in summer, mate, lay their eggs and die in late summer-autumn. Males and females are similar in size.
How long do orb weaver spiders live in captivity?
Orbweavers in temperate areas are born in the spring and die by fall. Again, while good captive care may extend their lives by a few months, expecting an orbweaver to survive the winter and through the following spring is similar to a person surviving until he/she is 120 years old.
Can you keep a golden orb weaver as a pet?
An Orb Weaver can be cared for by any beginner that has the space to keep them in a large 45-gallon tank. What makes these spiders hard to keep is the amount of space they need to live. As a species they are not very large and grow to less than one inch.
Toward the end of fall, the females will lay their last clutch of eggs, and then die at the first frost. The eggs can survive the winter (even withstanding freezing) due to the simplistic nature/chemistry of the eggs.
What spider lives the longest?
trapdoor spider
A trapdoor spider in Australia spent decades tending a small burrow—a life people can learn from, scientists say. Number 16—the world's longest-lived known spider—has died, likely killed by a wasp at the ripe old age of 43 years. She outlived the previous record holder, a 28-year-old tarantula found in Mexico.
Where do Golden Orb spiders go in winter?
Many spiders adapt to staying outside throughout the winter, even in the coldest areas. Some species, such as the orbweaver Araneus saevus, spend the winter in egg form and hatch during warmer weather. Others, such as the male hackledmesh weaver (Amaurobius and Callobius sp.), overwinter as immature spiders.
The Web:
The Spider:
Female: Most people recognize the female orb weaver spider shape: a large "golf ball"-like abdomen and a smaller head:
Male: Adult male orb weavers are smaller, and are not seen as often, as they generally do not spin webs, but wander in the search for potential mates.
Identification of a Species:
How big can golden orb weavers get?
The body-length of a female Nephila komaci can be as large as 1.5 inches (3.8 centimeters) with legs spanning 4-5 inches (10-12 centimeters). The golden orb weavers build the world's largest webs: often spanning over a meter in size. Unlike other spiders, they build their nests to last—sometimes even several years.
Do spiders recognize their owners?
They are only capable of sensing light, darkness, and motion, and they do not visually recognize their owners. Some keepers speculate that they can learn to recognize vibrations and associate those with food and predators.
We sometimes leave the spiders alone if they're not in our way, or we gently capture them and relocate them out in our yard where they can continue with their lives. The Orb Spider spends its life outside in yards, gardens, orchards, and on farms in North America and Canada.
What spider can live 30 years?
Spider lifespan The average lifespan of spiders is about a year but it depends on the species. For example, the common barn funnel weaver has a life expectancy of up to 7 years, black widow spiders can live for up to 3 years, wolf spiders can live up to a year, and tarantulas can live anywhere from 10-30 years!
What is the lifespan of a golden orb weaver?
Despite their size Golden Orb-weavers spiders only live for about a year. Humped Golden Orb-weaver Nephila plumipes Humped Golden Orb-weavers, sometimes called Coastal Golden Orb-weavers, are found in northern coastal areas with most records from coastal Queensland and New South Wales. However, they occur as far south as central-coastal New South
They are called in several other names, viz., Banana Spider, Golden Orb Weaver, Golden Orb-Weaving Spider, Calico Spider, and Golden Silk Spider. Size: Females are considerably larger than the males, with the former being around 50 mm, and the latter, only around 8.
Do juvenile orb weavers spin perfect orbs?
Juvenile orb weavers will spin "perfect" orb webs, but as they mature, the webs will become more distinctive and adapted for that particular species. (1) Behavior:
Where do golden orb weaver spiders live?
Nephila pilipes. Nephila pilipes ( northern golden orb weaver or giant golden orb weaver) is a species of golden orb-web spider. It can be found in Japan, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Myanmar, Indonesia, Thailand, Laos, Philippines, Sri Lanka, India, Nepal, Papua New Guinea, and Australia.

Over the past decade a growing number of scholars have studied women's work in transnational non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and civil society (Antrobus, 2005; Hesford and Kozol, 2005); however, few have explored this activity within Arab societies. This chapter will examine Arab women's engagement in both local and transnational NGOs in the Arab world, their negotiation of global and local discourses on gender justice and their navigation of the complex politics of advocacy. Particular emphasis will be placed on Arab women's involvement with local and transnational NGOs as agents of change rather than recipients of services. Throughout this chapter the term NGOs is used in the broadest sense to refer to all civil society organizations (CSOs) that are external to the state's purview. In the early 1990s, the waning of Cold War politics prompted a paradigm shift generating new discourses on globalization and democratization. A parallel shift in the level of analysis was taking place across all disciplinary and interdisciplinary research. Increased globalization of political, economic, cultural, and technological flows has given transnational non-governmental organizations larger roles on both the local and global level (Appadurai, 1996; Falk, 1992; Held et al., 1999; Sassen, 1996). Globalization brings 'new opportunities', the most important of which is the 'possibility of a non-authoritarian universalism' premised on global concepts such as human rights, democracy and participation. As such, academics have become increasingly interested in studying the contributions of transnational NGOs to global society and socio-economic development (Boli and Thomas, 1997; Robertson, 1992).


Oh the beautiful color of buntings!
The females might not have the same vibrant, red and blue as the males, but their yellow and green hues are still a beautiful display.
It's always a "Wow" experience to see the male Painted Buntings with their exquisite array of vivid red, royal blue, and vibrant green and yellow.
I've noticed, in a couple of locations, a ratio of about one male to two female Painted Buntings this year.
An adult male Indigo Bunting is a brilliant blue with hues of turquoise.
The female Indigo Bunting is rather drab, especially in comparison to the female Painted Bunting. Although, sometimes you might see small bits of blue showing through her brown feathers.
The Indigo Buntings aren't seen as often as the Painted Buntings on Man-O-War. It would be interesting to know the comparison for other islands.
So, get out there, take in the fresh air, release your stress, invigorate your body and soul, and enjoy all things Bright and Beautiful; the God given majesty we are blessed to look at every day.

When a mutiresidential development is built, and and the developer would like to sell off some of the housing units it is necassary to create a title to the land.
The process of creating new titles from existing ones is called subdivision.
Subdivisions can be made on land before or after the construction of dwellings.
There are certain criteria that must be met and the consent of local council is required prior to the subdivision of land.
Kalana Homes can assist you in applying for applications for small subdivisions. This is often done as part of muti-residential project.


The U.S. military is considering developing a so-called "arsenal plane" to accompany stealth fighters into combat, hauling large numbers of munitions in order to significantly boost the stealthy planes' firepower.
The arsenal-plane concept, announced by Defense Secretary Ashton Carter in a Feb. 2 speech previewing the Pentagon's 2017 budget proposal, could help solve one of the U.S. military's most intractable military problems — its lack of "magazine depth" compared to more numerous Chinese forces in various Pacific war scenarios.
But Carter didn't specify what kinds of weapons the arsenal plane might carry and whether they might include air-to-air munitions, which is where America's arguably greatest firepower shortfall exists.
The arsenal plane, under development by the Defense Department's new Strategic Capabilities Office, "takes one of our oldest aircraft platform and turns it into a flying launchpad for all sorts of different conventional payloads," Carter said.
"In practice, the arsenal plane will function as a very large airborne magazine, networked to fifth-generation aircraft that act as forward sensor and targeting nodes, essentially combining different systems already in our inventory to create whole new capabilities," Carter continued.
A Pentagon official told Aviation Week that the Strategic Capabilities Office, a kind of incubator for new weapons ideas that Carter established in 2012 during his tenure as deputy defense secretary, is considering adapting the B-1 or the B-52 — or both — for the arsenal role. In the jet age, there have been many proposals to arm bombers with air-to-air weapons.
The benefit is obvious. At present the U.S. military fields just under 200 stealth fighters, including around 180 Air Force F-22s and just 10 Marine Corps F-35Bs. While more F-35s are in production and the Air Force is on track to declare its F-35As notionally combat-ready in August 2016, even a larger stealth force could still find itself outgunned in an air battle with China over Taiwan or the disputed Spratly Islands in the western Pacific.
That's because the F-22 carries just eight air-to-air missiles in its weapons bays in a stealthy configuration; the F-35 carries just two. Chinese Su-27 derivatives routinely carry 10 or more air-to-air missiles. And in a Pacific air war, the close proximity of Chinese bases to any likely battle zone means that Beijing will probably be able to keep many more warplanes in the air — potentially hundreds more.
The end result is a huge firepower advantage for the Chinese. In one 2008 study, the RAND Corporation, a think tank closely aligned with the U.S. Air Force, optimistically assumed that an F-22 would never miss when it fired an AIM-120 missile at a Chinese fighter and, by contrast, Chinese fighters would never hit an F-22 with their own missiles.
While unrealistic, that handicap didn't actually benefit U.S. forces in the RAND war game. The F-22s and F-35s quickly ran out of missiles and fuel, and surviving Chinese fighters penetrated U.S. aerial defenses and shot down tankers, radar early-warning planes and maritime patrol planes, effectively disabling the American force by depriving it of sensor coverage and range-extending aerial refueling.
Apparently startled by the findings, the Pentagon has moved to improve the magazine depth of its stealth fighters. Lockheed Martin is reportedly developing a smaller air-to-air missile that F-22s and F-35s could carry in greater numbers.
In 2011, RAND published a paper encouraging the Pentagon to consider adding 20 large air-to-air missiles to B-1 bombers. Four years later, John Stillion, a former RAND analyst and contributor to the 2008 war game and the 2011 paper, wrote a paper for the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, a Washington, D.C. think tank, proposing that the Pentagon's next fighter should be the size of a bomber and carry 24 air-to-air missiles while also controlling drones hauling their own missiles.
RAND's paper and Stillion's proposal were hints that the arsenal-plane concept was gaining legitimacy in military circles. But the first arsenal plane could be a fighter rather than a bomber. In 2015 Boeing unveiled a new configuration for existing F-15C fighters that doubles the F-15's standard air-to-air loadout from eight missiles to 16.
The Air Force is reportedly interested in adopting the Boeing upgrade, and in the meantime has also developed a new datalink pod for the F-15 that allows the older fighter to receive targeting data from the F-22. In theory, non-stealthy F-15s could fly behind F-22s and F-35s during an air battle, firing missiles at targets that the stealth fighters detect while evading detection themselves.
Carter's arsenal-plane concept is consistent with years of study and technology-development pointing toward a two-tier air-combat force for the near future, one in which stealth fighters act as forward sensors, designating targets for non-stealthy aircraft — F-15s and bombers — carrying much larger payloads.
Perhaps not coincidentally, both the B-52 and B-1 fleets are undergoing extensive upgrades that include new datalinks.
To be clear, neither Carter nor Aviation Week's source specified whether the arsenal plane would carry air-to-air missiles. It's possible the Pentagon is mostly interested in adding air-to-ground munitions to its stealth strike force.
But technologically speaking, there's no reason why the arsenal plane couldn't add aerial firepower to America's stealth fighter fleet. Right now the arsenal plane is just a concept, rather than a formal program with a budget line. But the need is obvious and the hardware already exists. With funding and official approval, in a few years' time the F-22 and F-35 could fly into an air-to-air battle with heavily-armed bombers backing them up.
This much is true — no country can possibly hope to challenge the United States with military means on a global scale and win. But key to America's global strength are huge air and naval bases which are vulnerable to being overwhelmed and destroyed by swarms of precision-guided weapons in a limited, regional war.
The result is that the Pentagon must radically rethink its missile defenses, or risk serious losses in the opening hours of a future conflict. But according to a recent report, the solution could be lots of futuristic lasers, guns, and electromagnetic weapons that can engage enormous numbers of incoming missiles at relatively short ranges.
"Since the end of the Cold War, the Pentagon had the luxury of assuming that air and missile attacks on its bases and forces would either not occur or would be within the capacity of the limited defenses it has fielded," analysts Mark Gunzinger and Bryan Clark wrote for the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, an influential defense policy think tank.
"These assumptions are no longer valid."
Gunzinger and Clark's report does not describe anything new for U.S. military planners. Russia, China, and Iran have are investing heavily in missiles with an eye toward targeting American bases. But it's China that is of particular concern, owing to the fact that Beijing is producing very large numbers of highly-accurate and long-range missiles.
Worse, the United States has fewer options to spread out its bases in the Western Pacific — it is largely stuck to islands — than it does in Europe or the Middle East, where dispersed "clusters" of bases are more feasible.
The Patriot cannot stand a chance if China throws everything it has at America's installations.
There is a similar threat facing America's surface ships. The bulk of the United States' cruise-missile defenses are on warships, such as Arleigh Burke-class destroyers equipped with Aegis — an advanced suite of radars, command and control computers and anti-air missiles such as the Sea Sparrow, SM-2, SM-3 and SM-6.
This is a formidable defensive weapon system … when your enemy doesn't have a lot of missiles to throw at you. In fact, the Navy designed these systems for engaging a relatively small number of incoming missiles at long ranges. This makes the SM family large, heavy and expensive. Another problem is that the ships' launchers — the Mark 41 VLS — cannot be rearmed at sea.
A single Arleigh Burke destroyer has around 90+ air-defense missiles. But not every missile will hit its target. In their report, Gunzinger and Clark note that an attacker could expend 32 anti-ship missiles — at a cost of less than $100 million — to deplete a destroyer's entire compliment of SM-6s (worth $300 million) given a 70 percent success rate on the part of the defending ship.
That doesn't include the cost of the destroyer, which is about $2 billion. And all it takes is a single missile to either sink the ship, cripple it, or render it out of action for weeks or months. Even if the destroyer survives, it must return to port and rearm. All told, this tactic means China could, in effect, bankrupt the U.S. Navy over time.
China's missiles are getting smarter. The YJ-18, in particular, is a very deadly anti-ship missile. Having only appeared in China's arsenal within the past few years, the YJ-18 can travel 290 nautical miles, most of the way at a speed of 0.8 Mach. But once the missile closes toward a target — and within range of a defending vessel's weapons — it dumps one of its "stages" and accelerates to a speed of Mach 2.5.
However, there is a way to stop China's missiles from delivering a knockout blow to the U.S. military in the Western Pacific, but it will take years and be expensive, too. The solution is also … complicated.
The main takeaway from the report — the United States can no longer take it for granted that long-range missile interceptors will do the trick. Instead, Gunzinger and Clark propose a mix of tactical tricks and new technologies, including electromagnetic railguns with guided high-velocity projectiles, air-defense lasers and guided artillery rounds like the kind DARPA is developing.
To make it harder to target U.S. forces, the report suggests dispersing bases when possible and hardening existing ones to force China to expend heavier, more expensive, and longer-range weapons of its own. To strike the missile launchers before they fire, the authors want drones — lots of them — and stealthy bombers (like the B-21) that can penetrate China's air defenses.
The United States wouldn't have to abandon air-defense missiles — it just can't depend on expensive, longer range variants. Electromagnetic weapons would be enormously expensive to develop (with manufacturing costs in the tens of millions of dollars each), so these will likely be less common than lasers, high-powered microwave weapons, and short-to-medium range missiles that can be fired en masse.
What the report proposes is an networked grid of almost entirely short-range weapons, with the railguns and more affordable — and therefore more numerous — missiles focusing on striking targets at medium range. With lasers, you're only limited by how much power you can generate. That's a concern for ships, not so much with land bases.
We also don't how well this would work... unless an actual war breaks out — a real-life demonstration we'd be better off without.


With a world gone wireless, wireless headphones are to be expected. It's a huge plus not to have wires dangling from your ears as you run or walk. These headphones mainly work through Bluetooth connections and use rechargeable batteries. There is the added headache of needing a Bluetooth compatible device, but many new smartphones have it available. Sound quality is another issue with wireless headphones. It is not going to be as rich as a wired pair. Freedom of movement is the trade off which can be very useful in many situations.
Whether you're a casual music listener or an avid collector of sound equipment, it's worthwhile to review the basics of sound quality so you understand what manufacturers are talking about when they claim their headphones are the best.
Sound perception varies from person to person. The best way to select new headphones is to try them out yourself at the store. Because everyone has different shaped heads and ears, they'll perceive music and sound differently, especially since headphones pipe music directly into the ears. Hence, it's important to try on different headphones not only to see which ones are comfortable to wear, but to get an idea of how rich and full the music sounds.
Do you exercise with music often?
Do you want to use headphones at a computer or with a TV where it wouldn't be practical to have wired headphones?
Wireless headphones double as Bluetooth headsets for hands free calling.
For long periods of use, you need a comfortable fit. Wireless headphones are usually very lightweight, but it's important to make sure you're comfortable wearing a set for an extended time. Padded surfaces are a must—including the headband. With circumaural headphones, you want a good seal over the ears, but make sure it's not so tight that it puts undue pressure on your ears and head. Some headphones make your ears heat up or feel tingly if you wear them too long.
Frequency: Headphones capture the complete range of sounds that humans can hear, from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. The question is how well they reproduce those frequencies. Any low frequencies below 20 Hz aren't audible, but you can sometimes feel them.
Sensitivity: Headphones measure their loudness efficiency in terms of decibels per milliwatt of power. You want a high sensitivity number of at least 100 dB if you're using a portable device. The lower the sensitivity, the harder the headphones have to work to sound as loud as those with high sensitivity.
Impedance: Impedance is measured in ohms and it relates to how much resistance the headphones put on an amplifier. Most headphones for professional and commercial use have impedances under 100 ohms. The higher the impedance, the more power you'll need.

I'm keeping a happy journal.
When I look around a room or outside or do a thing and I feel happy inside, I write down the thing in the journal.
I'm hoping this will improve my mood when I'm in the funkiest of funks and find fault in all the things. Like, maybe I'll be more inclined to flip through the happy journal when I'm feeling sorry for myself for not having nice dish towels instead of spiraling down the hole of WILL I EVER HAVE NICE THINGS?!
I've filled 5 pages worth of happy things so far, and I honestly did not know I had that much sunshine in me. The first entry was pencils and my latest is the smell of gasoline, so anything goes up in this journal. I did make the mistake of letting Garrett flip through it, though, and halfway down page 1 he looked at me funny and asked, "What is wrong with you……..??" I can't help that sketchy chain restaurants make me happy and are the only places I feel truly at home.
Not having to leave the house was also an entry he was concerned about.

City Monument – Restoring Red Fort, Old Delhi
August 21, 2011 · by The Delhi Walla · in Monuments
Recreating a lost time.
[Text and pictures by Mayank Austen Soofi]
Can it be done? "It's like drawing the picture of how a dead person looked by putting together stray pieces of his unconnected skeleton," says Anisha Shekhar Mukherji, conservation architect and author of The Red Fort of Shahjahanabad. The 17th century Mughal fairyland of pavilions, canals and gardens—a Unesco World Heritage site—is getting a makeover. "This is Red Fort's first major conservation since independence in 1947," says K.K. Muhammed, superintending archaeologist, Delhi circle, Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). The only other Mughal monument to have seen conservation on such an ambitious scale is Humayun's Tomb garden in Delhi, by the Aga Khan Foundation in 2003.
For visitors, Red Fort is an anti-climax. The expectations raised by the imposing red sandstone ramparts melt away on entering. Many buildings are blockaded, locked or just unsightly. The bazaar sells Taj Mahal keepsakes that crack within a week. Tourists walk with an expression of "what is all the fuss about?"
The renovation project has its origins in 2003, when a public interest litigation was filed by activists led by artiste Rajeev Sethi. They opposed the ASI's sloppy conservation work at the fort. The litigation resulted in a restoration plan by a private organization called the Cultural Resource Conservation Initiative (CRCI). The ASI began work after the Supreme Court approved the plan in 2010.
The three-phase project will take 10 years, almost the same time it took for the fort to be built. In early August 2011, labourers were finishing work on the Dilli Darwaza, replacing the broken red sandstone on its dome. The red Naubat Khana has been redone in its original white with a mix of lime, urad dal, batasha, bel juice essence, red brick powder and malai. This was the Mughal recipe for lime plaster that permeates the sandstone and makes it gleam like marble.
"What happens in the Red Fort will have implications for India's monuments," says Mr Sethi, referring to the monument's iconic status.
The present complex is nothing like the one created by Mughal emperor Shahjahan. The Red Fort and the city of Shahjahanbad, or Old Delhi, were built as one entity. The fort wall, about 3km in length, has two gateways. The fort was separated from the town by fruit orchards where people strolled in the evenings. Today, there is a treeless, tightly-cropped lawn, and that is closed to the public.
After getting rid of the Mughals in 1857, the British destroyed 80 per cent of the fort's buildings. Gone are the colonnades, courtyards and most pavilions. The stone screen that connected the pavilions along the fort's river-facing façade is no longer there. Only two of the harem buildings survive: Mumtaz Mahal, which houses the Archaeological Museum, and Rang Mahal, which is fenced with ropes. Bored police constables sit inside.
The big talking point in Diwan-i-Khas is a piece of missing furniture: the Peacock Throne, taken away by Persia's Nadir Shah in 1739. To round off the humiliation, the British later erected military barracks, hospital sheds, and bungalows.
What wonders can we expect from the renovation?
"The plan was prepared by overlaying the map of 1850 on the survey plan of 2006," says Gurmeet S. Rai, conservation architect, founder director of CRCI, which made the plan. "Many elements of the original fort will be imaginable."
The colonial-era eyesores are a stumbling block in getting a sense of the original look. For Ms Rai, the standard-design barracks are part of the fort's multilayered heritage. "The Red Fort was a garden city," counters conservation architect Ratish Nanda, who works with the Aga Khan Foundation that is restoring the monuments in Humayun's Tomb. "Restoring that character requires demolishing the barracks that occupy the land on which the gardens stood," he says. The barracks will stay.
The fort's exquisiteness can be traced only in two buildings—the royal hamam and the Moti Masjid. Their beauty all too fragile, the buildings remain locked to tourists, but the ASI allowed The Delhi Walla in. The hamam is decked with wall paintings. The floor is inlaid with pietra dura, and bordered with flowing arabesque patterns. The marbled Moti Masjid has slender minarets. In the prayer chamber, every inch of the ceiling and walls has delicate carvings.
Will the renovation change the way we experience the complex? You enter through Lahori Darwaza, pass the kitschy Chatta Chowk Bazaar, cross Naubat Khana and walk into Diwan-i-Am, behind which are a couple of leftover pavilions. Seeing them is depressing.
Wall motifs have paled, stone jaalis lie broken. It isn't easy to imagine the way things were in Mughal times. The kings, viziers, eunuchs and shehzadis sat on the inlaid floor. In winters, the walls were covered with carpets. In summers, the carpets were removed; awnings would replace them. Camphor candles were lit in the evenings. Cool breezes came from the Yamuna, beyond which were green fields. Sightseers remain ignorant of these details. What they notice is the bird droppings on the floor.
"The pavilions should have the same carpets and lamps that were there in the Mughal era," says ASI's Muhammed. "The stories of ruins could be conveyed through pictures and tales." The plan doesn't make these recommendations, and the ASI doesn't have the funds, leave alone any special funding for Red Fort's conservation. For 2011-12, the department's Delhi circle, which looks after the city's 174 protected monuments, has Rs 5 crore (actor Aishwarya Rai received more for her role in the Tamil film Robot).
Will the fort be brought back to the people? Monuments don't attract the young, hip crowds that visit the city's malls. In 2010-11, Red Fort drew 2.4 million visitors. The number of visitors to Select Citywalk mall in Saket every year is 13 million.
"The Red Fort is just a jewel in the crown," says Mr Sethi. "It can never be considered renovated without renovating the crown, the Walled City, which is raped beyond belief."
Time will tell how India treats her remaining cultural memories.

The army will definitely need to move out of Red Fort. The whole place should be made available to tourists, including the Salimgarh fort in the back.

The inscription in the 'deciphering the past' picture reads: Agar firdaus bar-roo-i-zameen ast.

Home Blotch Around Fort Worth Music Awards Ballot Ready For Voters
Music Awards Ballot Ready For Voters
Jeff Prince
The nominees for this year's Fort Worth Weekly Music Awards are listed on the ballot here.
Cast your votes for Tarrant County's most killer bands, and plan on attending our big awards festival on June 26.
Glancing over the nominees, I see the Pop category includes two former American Idols — Tim Halperin and Casey James (not to be confused with The Casey Damn James Band).
My personal fave Telegraph Canyon is in Americana/Roots Rock.
Oh, and Raging Boner popped up again in the Hardcore category. How appropriate.
Fort Worth's best songwriter, James Michael Taylor, was left out of the Songwriter category this year. He's the most overlooked tunesmith around. He takes no comfort in knowing that perhaps one day, long after he's dead, he'll be appreciated by the public for his astounding body of work. He'd rather hear about it now. Cornell Dupree (nominated posthumously in the Hall of Fame category) probably felt the same way.
Oh well, like Tom T. Hall once said about music: "There ain't no money in it and it'll lead you to an early grave."

I'd have liked to see the legit blues musician Casey James nominated under the blues/americana category, an early taste of his original work makes his soon-to-be released cd the most anticipated effort this year.
Tony Desmuke May 27, 2011 at 4:56 pm
I totally agree about James Michael. I've known him since 75 and seen his body of work grow and continue to amaze me. It wouldn't surprise me to see him make a comeback this year. I just got his latest four CDs and so far I have been pleased with not only the diversity but the recording creativity that is a part of James Michael Taylor. The collection entitled "Sunday Afternoon" is particularly interesting and I plan on doing the start to finish on it again on my next 50 mile trip.
Oh, and I like Casey James too and have been following his career, he's got a lot of talent and will probably make somebody wealthy, hopefully himself.

I have had the pleasure of working on two apps that saw the light of day. The first, Zombie Ninjas was only available on Android, and appears to have been removed. Below, you will see a variety of materials created for this app.
The second, Rise of Gladiators is still available on iOS (and Android if you can find it). These were designed and coded by the brilliant Garry Law, who now operates Creator Academy teaching kids to code.
Rise of Gladiators
Rise of Gladiators has you playing as a barbarian gladiator named Beefus Maximus. You are trapped in an arena and being forced to defeat 100 trained gladiator opponents in the form of Samnite (sword wielders), Retiarius (net throwers), and Cavalry (spear men).
You must quickly switch weapons to allow you to defeat each different kind of opponent.
Zombie Ninjas
Zombie Ninjas was a fairly simple app where you played as a ninja trying to defeat an unending attack of zombie ninjas. Your ninja was flung into the air from a paddle similar to a pinball game.
We had great plans for multiple levels and different abilities you could unlock that just never got made.
Some of that can be seen here.
Zombie Ninjas menu screen
Ripperz
Ripperz did not get off the ground, unfortunately. However, we created a lot of material in our preproduction phase.
I've been given permission to share some of it here.
The game was intended to be a side-scrolling platformer, where the player would control a member of the dromaeosauridae family. Moving left to right, the player would tap the screen to control the attacks against waves of herbivorous dinosaurs through a variety of eras.

I made this dish on a cool day. Overcast and breezy, windows open. No other condition would have led me to turn my oven on during mid-Summer. My kitchen still got balmy while making the socca and this roasted eggplant and squash dish. I admit I was sweating through the whole process. Though in some way that makes me feel like an Italian mama. Crafting with heart and love in heat and cold alike. Piling my hair on top of my head. Wiping my face with a rag. Tasting a bit of this and that and checking the different elements of the dish as I bustle to a fro. Grinding spices in my mortar. Listening to the pan sizzle and spurt as I pour in the socca batter, quickly setting it in the blistering hot oven. The physicality of cooking is so juicy and satisfying, it tires and elates me all at once. Like a long hike or a productive weeding expedition in the garden. It's all scents and textures and hands covered in olive oil and splitting open golden cherry tomatoes to reveal perfectly symmetrical cream-white seeds. It makes me feel viscerally, powerfully feminine.
I can't seem to get over this roasted eggplant and squash dish! I've made it every other night for over a week. The dish itself is buttery and smokey, the warm, savory spices balanced with a handful of fresh basil at the end. I've made it with eggplant and squash here, but it's also great with eggplant and cauliflower. It's all about the eggplant, really. It develops a melt-in-your mouth texture during high-heat roasting.
The millet socca is great for soaking up every last bit of flavor on the plate. And it adds a boost of iron, lecithin, and protein to the overall dish. Millet, much like quinoa and amaranth, is a seed-grain that's a complete protein all on its own. It's alkalinizing, which makes it a great choice during the Summer when we can become the most inflamed due to the heat. The flatbread I've made here is not dissimilar from a traditional chickpea socca. It's tender and savory and crisp around the edges. It's one of those foods that has a wide range of pairings. I like it alongside Indian curries and fresh hummus and just about any mediterranean dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the millet flour, chickpea flour, water, and olive oil. Stir until the mix is even. Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, pepper, and salt.
Cover and set aside for about half an hour (the longer the better) so that the flours can absorb the liquid.
When you're ready to start cooking, preheat the oven to 450F and set a 12" cast iron pan over high heat on your range. Add about 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pan. Once the pan is good and hot (and your oven is preheated) pour the socca batter into the pan and immediately transfer the pan to the oven. Bake for 10 minutes.
Turn the heat up to BROIL and cook another 3-5 minutes, until the edges of the socca are crisp.
Very carefully, remove the socca from the oven and place the pan on a heat-safe surface. Using a metal spatula, transfer the socca to a sheet of parchment paper to cool.
To serve, cut the socca into triangular wedges. Serve warm.
This fresh roasted vegetable dish is one of the best ways to eat loads of Summer squash and eggplant. Spiced with cumin and paprika, its savory and smokey -- the perfect pair with millet socca. This dish is also great over polenta or wild rice! I've also made this with cauliflower instead of squash and it's dreamy!
Preheat the oven to 375F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped eggplant and squash and drizzle the olive oil over top. Toss to coat the veg evenly with oil.
Bruise the cumin in a mortar to break it up a bit. Add the cumin to the bowl of veg.
Grind the black pepper up loosely in your mortar. Add the pepper to the bowl of veg.
Add the paprika, cayenne, and salt. Toss everything together to evenly coat the veg in the spices.
Roast for 30 minutes. The vegetables will be fork tender and some will just be beginning to blacken.
Remove from the oven. Let cool 5 minutes, then add the maple syrup and chopped basil and tomatoes and toss once again to combine. Serve warm with millet socca.

Final Standings: 11-21
As a wrapup to the the season, I'm posting my thoughts on the seasons of the drivers who finished the season in points positions eleven through twenty-one. I'm sure your first thought is...wait, didn't a total of 23 drivers compete on a (mostly full-time basis this year? Yes, they did, but I did some moving around, and when positions one through ten are posted later this week you will get the gist.
11th: Ryan Briscoe (461 points). After spending 2013 as a racing nomad, Briscoe went back to his IndyCar roots when he signed with Target Chip Ganassi Racing as one of the Ganassi B cars. Like the other drivers on his team, Briscoe's results were mixed this year, but like the rest of his team he got better as the year went on. The guy is a Top 10 machine and will win a pole and/or a race when everything goes right. I expect him to be higher up this list next year.
12th: James Hinchcliffe (465 points). Let's call a spade a spade (and this hurts given he's my favorite driver), but Hinch's season was an unmitigated disaster from beginning to end. Between crashes, mechanical issues and other circumstances beyond his control, Hinch had one podium and six finishes P18 or worse. A P5 at Fontana probably gave him something positive to take into the off-season, but I'm guessing he is glad to have 2014 in his rear-view.
13th: Josef Newgarden (406 points). From Pocono on, I thought Josef's season (and career) took a huge upturn. I'm not sure what clicked that caused such a drastic change, but he qualified better and he definitely raced better. How much better? He had five Top 10 finishes in his last eight races compared to nine Top 10 finishes in his previous 2 1/2 seasons. With Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing combining forces with Ed Carpenter Racing in 2015, he may be on the verge of some next-level stuff.
14th: Charlie Kimball (402 points). After four years I'm still not able to make up my mind about Charlie. Is he a front-runner (nine Top 10 finishes and advanced more positions on race day than any other driver this season) or a mid-packer (six finishes of P17 or worse)? He has a great ride, great equipment and full funding with a top-tier team but has never finished better than ninth in the standings. But that is probably more an indication of the competition level in the series as opposed to an indictment on his abilities as a driver.
15th: Justin Wilson (395 points). Man, oh man, do I wish this guy would someday get a chance with Penske, Ganassi or Andretti, because when you can drag Dale Coyne Racing equipment to the kinds of finishes he has over the years, you are one hell of a driver. (Editor's note: Not a slam on DCR at all, but they have to work really, really hard to get anywhere.) Lots of things went right for Justin when he finished P6 in the standings last year, but that good fortune didn't follow him into 2014.
16th: Mikhail Aleshin (372 points). First of all, best wishes to Mikhail after his crash at Fontana on Friday night. That was pure nasty, and I'm glad his injuries are the kind that get better and that he will be back on the grid next season. Overall, for a guy who had to clear as many hurdles as he did this season: first time in America, learning tracks, racing on ovals for the first time -- I thought he handled himself very well. He's a tad bit on the aggressive side, but I think that's what makes him endearing to many. We'll see what Year 2 has in store for the first Russian to ever race in IndyCar.
And while I'm on that tip...hats off again to everyone who designed, tested (RIP Dan Wheldon) and continue to improve the safety of the DW12. For all the crap that people give that car, it provides the best racing on the planet and drivers know that they are as safe as possible when they strap into one.
Look, racing is still a dangerous game, and American open wheel racing is at the top of that list in terms of danger. The best thing a series and the engineers can do is be proactive in upgrading and improving the safety of the cars, and I think Dallara does that very well.
And while I'm at it, hats off to the Holmatro Safety crew. They are the best in the business, hands down. I'm sure when a driver is involved in an incident it's a comforting thing to see these guys leaning down into the cockpit to help.
17th: Jack Hawksworth (366 points). The young man from England certainly had his ups and downs (crashing at Indy and then crashing and missing the Pocono racing being the low points) but overall it was a promising season for someone driving for probably the most underfunded team. Lots was made -- plenty of it negative -- when Bryan Herta picked Hawksworth for the seat over the winter, but I feel like in the end he proved he deserved it. And given what we now know the lengths he and his family have gone and sacrificed to get him into that seat, my respect level for the Hawk is pretty high.
18th: Takuma Sato (350 points). We all know Taku is fast (he had two more poles this season) but he also tears up a LOT of equipment. He's also finished P15 or worse in 20 of his last 28 races. Great guy, love his passion and I love his driving when he has it going, but in the end, Larry Foyt has to decide whether the highs are worth all of the lows. My guess here is sooner or later he decides it isn't.
19th: Graham Rahal (345 points). When we heard two years ago that Graham was moving to his dad's team, and then last year was getting the National Guard sponsorship, the consensus was that he was out of excuses. The question becomes, what do we say now? P18 and P19 in the standings, with the money and engineering resources at his disposal, doesn't cut it. And with the Guard pulling out of racing altogether, I just don't know what to say. I think for a lot of reasons everyone wants to see Graham succeed, but I don't think it's going to happen. Sure he's fast at times and does run well, but so does everyone else in the series. It's a result-oriented business, and this is the second straight year he has regressed.
20th: Carlos Huertas (314 points). Well, Carlos will always have Houston 1 I guess. Other than that, what else do you say? An eighth at Detroit 1 and an 10th at Long Beach were the other high-water marks for Carlos and it's obvious after Fontana that he officially doesn't like ovals, so I'm wondering if we will see him back next year.
21st: Sebastian Saavedra (291 points). I like Saavedra, I really do. He's what a racer driver should be, he's good looking, has incredible hair and is outgoing and fun to be around. I think despite the fact he gets in their way a lot on the track, the other drivers in the paddock like him a lot. He has brief flashes of great things, but unfortunately he doesn't seem to handle prosperity well because every time it looks like he's catching a break, something goes horribly wrong. He did win the pole at the GP of Indy, and led laps at Long Beach and Bama for the first time in his career, but other than that he drove around in circles and got paid to do it.
That does it for this group. Missing a couple of guys, you say? It will make more sense later when I present the top half of the field. I'll also tie it in with a Fontana wrap-up, so keep an eye out for that one!

The chapter is about gravitation.
The given answer is

A lighter body inside a denser medium behaves like negative mass as far as gravitational force is considered. Two air bubbles i.e. two negative masses will attract each other.

What is negative mass in this context and how can it be applied to such macroscopic objects? How would it result in attraction?
My reasoning is:

Consider the bubble A in the above image.
The air particles forming the bubble A would be attracted more to the left(away from B) as there are more dense particles towards that side-the air particles making up bubble B are less dense than the medium and they will attract the air from bubble A to a smaller extent than if the volume of bubble B was filled with  the medium.
A similar case would apply to B due to lesser density of particles forming A and the bubbles would be (indirectly) repelled.
So what is happening in this case?

A: Just consider the water, due to gravitational attraction(which I'm not sure how effective it is in this case); water molecules like to be as close to each other as possible. This means that they like to push the bubbles as close to each other as possible. Since the air has negligible mass, its gravitational forces can be neglected compared to the water ones.

The other way to go through this reasoning is by what has been suggested in the question, i.e. assuming the bubbles have negative mass.
This solution has few steps, as following:

*

*Say we have a huge spherical lump of water(with the radius $R$), without any bubbles inside. The gravity potential of this sphere is $\frac{-3GM^2}{5R}$, but we are not going to use that.

*Now, say we don't remove a small spherical part(radius $r$ and mass $m$) of the water and replace it with a same-sized sphere with density $\rho'$(or mass $m'$) but rather add it to the current sphere(a ghost like sphere which can only interact through gravity with the world). To calculate the gravitational force acting on this sphere using Shell's theorem, we also need to know the distance from the center; assume it's $x$. Since the sphere had been in equilibrium before, the new net force will be(note the force should be proportional to the mass of each object):
$$ -\frac{GM'(x)}{x^2}m' \tag{1}$$
where $M'(x)$ is the mass of water inside a sphere with radius $x$.

*

*The next step is to do the same with another small sphere of water. To make relations more simplified, I will put this one at $-x$. Now the net force on the first and second sphere will be:

$$F_1=-\frac{GM'(x)}{x^2} m'  - \frac{G m' m'}{(2x)^2} \\
F_2=\frac{GM'(x)}{(x)^2} m' + \frac{G m' m'}{(2x)^2}$$
Or the accelerations:
$$a_1=-\frac{GM'(x)}{x^2}   - \frac{G m' }{(2x)^2} \\
a_2=\frac{GM'(x)}{(x)^2} + \frac{G m' }{(2x)^2}$$

*

*In the case of our problem $m' = -m$, therefore:

$$a_1=-\frac{GM'(x)}{x^2}   + \frac{G m }{(2x)^2},$$
($M'(x) \gg m$)which is towards the center(and the other sphere). So it looks like the two spheres are attracting each other.

Now there are some ambiguities here:

*

*Do negative masses behave mathematically consistent(we can use $F=m a$), which I have assumed to be the case.

*Is this attraction duo to the big sphere of water or the other sphere? Looking at equation $(1)$, it seems to be the first case; unless my previous sign convention is wrong which simply means that the big sphere of water will try blow the bubbles away, although an attraction force between them(if they are closer than a certain distance they will attract).

Also I should point, if the bubbles get in touch; they will immediately collapse into a single bubble. This is due to the surface tension, not the gravitational effects for sure.

A: Maybe this plot of the gravitational field will help:

EDIT re the comment:
First of all you mean electric field lines, not magnetic. And yes, they do look the same because they are the same. The underlying field equations are identical (in the static nonrelativistic limit). The difference is that for gravity like charges attract whereas for electric forces like charges repel.
Maybe the plot is a little less than clear. Keep in mind this plot is the force on the fluid, not the bubbles. You were meant to take away that the fluid in between the bubbles flows out of the space and the bubbles get closer. ;)
To really do this problem properly you need some assumptions about the fluid: namely that it has surface tension to stabilise the bubbles and also that the flow is incompressible (otherwise you need to keep track of the density everywhere and it gets truly awful). You also need to put the system in a box (it can be a gigantic box - the size of it doesn't really matter in the end) just to avoid the ambiguities of having an infinite mass of fluid. Under these assumptions you can argue that the bubbles can't expand, and also any flow out of one region has to be balanced by a flow into another region.
I'm guessing you're not at the point of seeing field theory yet. Take this as an illustration that there are complicated ways of doing simple problems. The advantage of field theory is that it is much more general and powerful for other problems. But for this you don't really need it - the "negative mass" argument gives you the right answer. But this may give you confidence that the argument given about "negative mass" is correct. In fact, this is better because we don't need to invoke "negative mass" at all - we just talk about the fluid.
If you assume, based on the above, that the bubbles don't change shape or size, then you can treat the problem very simply. All you need to know is that the gravitational potential of a bubble is
$$ \phi(r) \propto \frac{1}{r}, $$
with a positive sign outside the bubble and
$$ \phi(r) = \text{a constant}, $$
inside the bubble. If you know Poisson's equation for the gravitational field you can derive this. You get the total potential by adding the potentials created by the two bubbles. You also need to know the gravitational energy a little parcel of fluid of volume $\Delta V$ is given by
$$ \Delta U = \phi(x,y,z) \rho(x,y,z) \Delta V, $$
where $\rho(x,y,z)$ is the density, which is constant everywhere outsite a bubble and zero anywhere inside. You add up the energy for every piece of fluid ("do an integral") to get the total energy, and see if it increases or decreases with respect to increasing the seperation between the bubbles. The system will naturally go in the direction that decreases the total energy.
So what does the energy look like? Here (energy units are arbitrary, length units are in bubble radii):

At seperations less than 2 radii the bubbles are intersecting so you can no longer trust the calculation - surely the bubbles start changing shape when they collide! But for larger seperations the calculation is ok and look, the energy increases. So it costs energy to pull the bubbles apart. The bubbles are attracted to each other!
The fact that nearly the same calculation done for electromagnetism gives charges which repel each other is an interesting and important clue to the difference between the two theories. If you are really super keen you might have a go at that problem one day.

A: I think I see the argument:
One should go to the line joining A and B. And draw two vertical tangent on the right for A and on the left for B. There is more water volume to attract the water in the region on the left of A, so there will be a force towards B, and vice versa.
Anyway bubbles in liquids are not a simple matter like your problem states.
see : http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/18811248.2001.9715037

A:
What is negative mass in this context

Consider a single bubble in the middle of a glass of water on your desk.
Normally, gravity pulls air above the desk downwards towards the desk surface.
However, in this case the air in the bubble does not move downwards under the influence of gravity. It moves in the opposite direction. It is as if the air in the bubble has negative mass and is repelled by gravity.
In fact the air does not have negative mass and is not repelled but the real situation is more complex to describe.

A: Here's how I look at it:
When you 'release' the air bubbles, they tend to rise due to the buoyant force, $\rho_wgv$. Thus, they are in motion relative to the static fluid. Assuming that the air bubbles are spherical, then in their motion they change the pressure of the water (i.e. the streamlines of water are closer together). Now since we have 2 air bubbles, the area in between them is affected by the motion of both bubbles, and the streamlines are further compressed. This results in lower pressure in the area between the bubbles relative to the pressure on the left of A and the right of B. Thus the air bubbles are 'pulled' toward each other. This is similar to the Venturi Effect.

I'm not sure whether we are to assume that the bubbles are in motion or if they are being held fixed, but if they are indeed fixed, then here is an experiment to try:

Take 2 ping-pong balls, and connect each one to a seperate string. Place the ping-pong balls in a container filled with water, and connect the strings to the bottom of the container (right underneath each ping-pong ball). Stabilize the ping-pong balls so that each string is perpendicular to the bottom of the container. Then, let them go and observe what happens.

I got it:
Imagine a(n) (infinite) universe that is completely filled with water. Water as far as the eye can see. You can intuitvely guess that the force on any water molecule is 0, because it is drawn toward every other water molecule (in every direction) in the this universe. Now, let's say there is a void in this water universe. A spherical region where no water exists. Now imagine a 'test particle,' with mass $M$, and calculate the gravitational force in the direction away from the center of the circle. Assuming that there is a linear density in the water, such that each unit of distance $r$ contains a mass $m$, the force in that direction is: $$GMm\sum\limits_{i=0}^\infty \frac{1}{(0.5+i)^2}\approx\left(GMm\right)*4.9348$$

Because of the void in the opposite direction, the force in that direction is less than what we calculated above. So the net force is away from the void. In fact, a test particle placed anywhere near this void will experience a net force away from it!
What that implies is that the water is pushed away from the void in all directions. This leads me to believe that the void (AKA bubble) would actually expand to occupy the space left behind by the water.
Now imagine two voids. The force field looks like what Michael Brown has posted. Since the water is pushed away from the two bubbles, the question is what does it leave behind? It looks as though the two bubbles expand until they become one big bubble (which is also expanding). Any way you look at it, the bubbles combine into one.

A: In the water when there are two bubbles the surface are of the water (which is the surface are of the bubble) is more when the bubbles are collapsed. As the water tries to make the surface area least they will come closer and and collapse. The process is happening due to the force of water between the bubbles on the bubbles.


Students from St Birinus School in Didcot have teamed up with CCFE on a technology project with a real-world application – and their work has been put forward for a national award.
The group of five Year 12 students designed a box for non-contact examination of beryllium tiles from the JET fusion device at Culham. The project was part of the Engineering Education Scheme, which links teams of students and their teachers with local companies to work on real, scientific, engineering and technological problems. Supervised by CCFE engineer Margaret Graham, the team worked for seven months on the design, with visits to JET to talk to the technicians, engineers and scientists who required the box. On completion, the team had to produce a written report, create a poster and give a presentation to a team of judges.
Having already won a runner-up prize in the South East England Science and Engineering Competition in July, the St Birinus project has been entered for the National Science and Engineering finals to be held in Birmingham in March 2014.
Margaret Graham was impressed with the quality of the students' work: "They worked very hard, with some useful feedback from CCFE staff and the judges, and their design was very successful – we wish them luck in the awards next year!" she said.

"Crimean Referendum! Separation!" – but where is Diversity and Tolerance? Crimea and Minorities in Ukraine FAQ
2014/03/09 - 18:29 • More
As a Crimean 'referendum' threatens dismemberment of Ukraine, American ideals of 'Strength through Diversity' and 'E pluribus unum' have gone unmentioned in the media – even though, unlike in the Russian Federation, all minorities in Ukraine continue to openly enjoy legal rights and official encouragement in all their activities. The newly-baked claims of some Russians in Crimea about "persecution" of minorities have not been borne out. Here are the facts about all minorities and their status in Ukraine, especially Russians and Crimea.
But first, a question:
1. What if each and every new wave of immigrants to United States had actually separated because of a "special relationship with their home country"?
Diversity is an integral part of the American experiment. Since its founding, the United States has been blessed with numerous waves of immigrants from every ethnic and religious group, making countless important contributions to every facet of American life – in science and technology, politics, the arts and culture.
But even more important than a question of territory and borders, where would American life be today, if every immigrant group had done what Crimean Russians want to accomplish by joining Russia?
2. Legal status of minorities in Ukraine
The Ukrainian Constitution and all laws are absolutely clear. Article no. 10 singles out Russian, along with all other minority languages, for protection and development. Article no. 53 guarantees all national minorities to have the right to receive instruction in their native language. Articles no. 21 through 68 enumerate comprehensive Human and Civil Rights for every citizen.
Throughout all the most recent proposed and actual changes in 'language laws', the Russian language and every other minority language continue to be protected and encouraged. From the first days of Ukrainian statehood in 1991, the Russian language was never 'forbidden' or 'banned'….Nowhere….Never.
3. Today's minorities in Ukraine
Russians (8,334,000) – Despite ethnic Russians comprising only 30% of the population in Ukraine, by far the vast preponderance of newspapers, books, magazines, TV programs is in Russian. Currently there are over 1,700 Russian schools throughout Ukraine, including many in the western half of the country.
Jews (104,000 ) – Rabbi Jacob Dov Bleich, president of the Jewish Federation of Ukraine and its chief rabbi stated on 3/3/2014 that Ukrainian Jews insist on Russian troop pullout and an independent Kyiv. Rabbi Michael Kapustin said he would light candles in his synagogue in Simferopol, but that if Russians make Crimea a part of Russia, "I will leave this country since I want to live in an independent Ukraine."
Belarusians (276,000) There are now Belarusian communities and organizations in major cities like Lviv, Sevastopol and others. Belarus President Lukashenka has called current events a tragedy, and supports Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Crimean Tatars (248,000) – Stalin forcibly deported all 194,000 tatars from Crimea in 1944. Crimean Tatar Majlis leaders have strongly condemned the 2014 Russian invasion and support the Kyiv government and Ukraine's territorial integrity.
Bulgarians (205,000) – After the dissolution of the Soviet Union a movement of national revival began. Bulgarian schools were started, Bulgarian newspapers and cultural organizations flourished. The Association of Bulgarians in Ukraine was founded in 1993.
Hungarians (157,000) – The first Hungarian university in Ukraine is in Berehovo. Most Ukrainian cities and towns bordering Hungary have a Hungarian majority and are free to conduct education at all levels in their mother tongue. They display street signs in Hungarian and all conversation in stores and shops is in Hungarian. Because of their interest in their compatriots across the border, Hungary was the first country to recognize Ukrainian statehood in 1991.
Polish (144,000) – The most beloved pastor of the Ukrainian Uniate Catholic Church was Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky, a man who came from aristocratic Polish lineage. Metropolitan Sheptytsky hid many Jews from the Nazis and helped them escape to the West. Poles voted overwhelmingly against Yanukovych in 2004.
Romanians (151,000) – In 1997, Ukraine and Romania signed a bilateral treaty assuring the rights of their countrymen in each other's nation. In Ukraine there are schools teaching Romanian as a primary language, along with newspapers, TV, and radio broadcasting in Romanian.
Germans (33,000) – In 1990, Germans numbered 200,000 in Ukraine's northwest region of Volhynia and were scattered over 1400 villages. Many emigrated to North and South America and some to eastern Siberia. Today they often have Russian and Ukrainian names and have started to revive cultural groups and festivals.
There are also sizable populations of Moldovans, Georgians and Armenians in Ukraine, all of whom enjoy the same rights and governmental protections as other minorities.
4. Historical contributions of minorities in Ukraine
Mykola Amosov, the renowned Ukrainian heart surgeon, was born to Russian peasants, fought in WWII and then moved to Kyiv. He was voted #2 on the list of "100 Greatest Ukrainians" by the nation. Amosov wrote: "Any union with Russia will sound our death knell. We need to engage on a global level. We need the knowledge to develop Western, not Russian technology. I am a Russian to the very marrow of my bones, but I'm telling you: nothing good awaits Ukraine if it joins with Russia".
Because Imperial Russia only allowed Jews to settle in certain areas, many Jews established roots in western and southern Ukraine. An astounding flowering of Russian musicians took root in Ukraine in the early part of the 20th century: violinists Jascha Heifetz, Mischa Elman, Nathan Milstein, Isaac Stern, David Oistrakh, conductor Jascha Horenstein to mention just a few. Authors like Sholom Aleichem, Mikhail Bulgakov, Isaac Babel… the poet Anna Akhmatova.… and many other notable non-Ukrainians were born and worked freely in Ukraine.
5. Specifically about Crimea and calls for Referendum
Russia has illegally invaded the territory of Ukraine. Hiding behind a smokescreen of pretexts, the Russian army has now occupied and controls all of Crimea. Reporters and correspondents have been beaten, and representatives from Amnesty International and other global human rights watch groups have been turned back and forced to leave the country. A 'referendum' date is being hurriedly pushed forward under the foreign occupying army.
Crimea already enjoys an almost unanimity of Russian language, culture, religion, media, and TV, despite that 40% of Crimeans are non-Russian. Yet still, the pretext for a 'referendum' and union with Russia is a fear of "persecution by Ukraine".
European and Western ideals are law and order, diversity and tolerance. Ukraine's minorities are legally protected and encouraged by their government. All minorities, especially Russians, are thriving undisturbed in Ukraine…
Not so long ago, the world witnessed the results of one nation's Aryan quest for uniform homogeniety. The Russian Empire tried for centuries to prohibit Jews from settling in parts of its territory. What will happen after an illegal and fraudulent 'referendum' in today's Crimea begins the elimination of the present diversity? Will Russia start ethnic cleansing? Will the West welcome the result?

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has just announced grant awards totaling just under $1 million to 35 states and the District of Columbia for white-nose syndrome (WNS) related projects.
State natural resource agencies will use the funds to support research, monitor bat populations and prepare for and respond to WNS, a disease that afflicts bats.
The USFWS is leading a cooperative effort with federal and state agencies, tribes, researchers, universities and other nongovernmental organizations to investigate and manage the disease. In addition to developing science-based protocols and guidance for land management agencies and other partners to slow the spread of WNS, the Service has funded many research projects to improve understanding of the disease and support sound, effective management responses.
Funding for grants was provided through the Endangered Species Recovery and Science Applications programs. Thirty-five states and the District of Columbia submitted proposals requesting $1,589,789. All requests were given partial awards, ranging from about $13,000 to $39,000, for a total of $998,767.


Eid and Salman Khan's combo always establishes a new record at the box office. Salman's film Race 3, which has emerged as the Highest Opening Day Grosser of 2018, continues to have tremendous earnings at the box office. The multi-starrer film collected 39.16 crores on Sunday (Day 3) at the box office. The film collected total 106.47 crores on its opening weekend. Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh took to his twitter account site to share Race 3 Sunday Box Office Collection.
Salman Khan's Race 3 has become his 13th consecutive film to enter the 100 crore club, and fourth film to crossed 100 crores mark in 3 days, after Kabir Khan's Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Ali Abbas Zafar's Sultan and Kabir Khan's Ek Tha Tiger.
However, after the opening weekend, it is interesting to see how the film performs on weekdays. Let us tell you that Race 3 is the third film of the Race franchise. Earlier, Saif Ali Khan had appeared in leading role in two parts of the film, and this time the entire cast has been changed in the film.

Rembrandt's Important Etchings
Jan Lievens Biography
Jan Lievens (Dutch, 1607–1674)
Browse Jan Lievens Catalogue Raisonnés Online.
Born in Holland, Jan Lievens is most often compared with his contemporary Rembrandt. The two lived parallel lives for much of their careers, but Lievens' remarkable work is often overshadowed by Rembrandts – though in recent years this has begun to change with more exhibitions paying attention to Lievens' oeuvre. Lievens, the son of a tapestry worker, apprenticed for a local painter at age 8. At 10, the young Lievens traveled to Amsterdam to train with Pieter Lastman. He remained there for two years, after which he returned home as a working painter. Early in his career, Leivens seemed to follow Caravaggio more than Laster, using exaggerated expressions and dramatic lighting in his works.
Leivens and Rembrandt were close friends throughout the 1620's, sometimes even collaborating. It is known that they would share models, and occasionally model for one another, and it is speculated that the pair perhaps shared a studio in Leiden in the early days of their careers.
Lievens is best known for his work in life-size portraiture. Lievens would often weave in a historicizing element into his work, painting the sitter into a scene from antiquity or the bible. Between 1632 and 1644 Lievens spent time working in England and Antwerp, and while there he was introduced to the works of Van Dyck and Rubens. These painters influenced Lievens' own work, lightening his palette and inspiring him to adopt a more Baroque style. Lievens met Susanna Colijns de Nole in Antwerp and soon after married her. The couple had a son, Jan Andrea. Shortly after returning in Holland in 1644, Susanna died. Lievens married Cornelia de Bray in 1648. Lievens remained in demand as a painter, but due to poor money handling, he died very in debt. In general Lievens is known for his ability to assimilate to new styles, unlike Rembrandt who staunchly remained for his career. This assimilation can make his style harder to trace overtime and perhaps explains why Lievens fell into obscurity while Rembrandt has maintained his fame.

Mont Blanc du Tacul

Partners - Brian Kooienga, Scott Momburg, Kevin Smith
After staying in Italy Monday night, we drove back to Chamonix on Tuesday, September 6, 2011, rode the lift back to the mountains, and hiked to the Cosmiques Hut again. We had taken a couple days off from climbing and heard the weather was clearing, so we wanted to be in position to take advantage of better conditions. The four of us got up early Wednesday morning and left the hut at 2:00 to attempt Mont Blanc. Mont Blanc is the highest mountain in the Alps, Western Europe, and the European Union at 15,782'. Our goal was to climb the Three Monts Traverse route.
The weather was less than ideal and seemed to deteriorate as the morning passed and we climbed the mountain. We dropped from the hut to the Col du Midi and then began up the north face of Mont Blanc du Tacul. We made fair progress on the headwall negotiating steep snow and two major crevasses before topping out on the Epaule du Mont Blanc du Tacul at approximately 13,450'. From here we descended about 200' to the Col Maudit where the wind really picked up. The two parties ahead of us, which included a guide and his client, turned around and made their way back to the hut. We quickly followed suit as weather conditions were simply not acceptable to continue.
After reaching the top of the headwall, I suggested we at least continue to the summit of Mont Blanc du Tacul as a consolation. This mountain is one of the main summits of the Mont Blanc massif at 13,937'. We had climbed the Chere Couloir on the peak, but did not summit so it seemed like a reasonable idea. The initial slopes on the western shoulder of the mountain were fairly easy. However, as we neared the summit the wind became increasingly strong and maintaining your balance was remarkably hard. We fought our way up a narrowing ridge in the strong winds and gained the summit by scrambling up some exposed rock. It was still dark because of our early departure from the Cosmiques Hut, so the only thing to enjoy was the satisfaction of climbing a peak in miserable conditions. The blowing snow continued to sting our eyes as we quickly made our way back down the mountain and to the top of the steep snow that would lead us to the glacier below.
As we made our way back to the Cosmiques Hut, several parties were heading out for the day after sleeping in. Our impression was that many of them were hiking to Mont Blanc du Tacul or simply stretching their legs because conditions were not improving. After taking a break at the hut, we thought we would have a casual hike back up the snow arete to the Aiguille du Midi and then ride the gondola down to Chamonix. Unfortunately, the weather remained relentless and the four of us ended up fighting our way up the narrow trail in limited visibility with extremely strong winds. Although we made it safely back to the climber's tunnel and cable car station, it was definitely a challenging climb with considerable exposure.
The winds were strong enough that the Telepherique was not running and we had to wait several hours to get back to Chamonix. We checked back into the Hotel Richmond for one more night to contemplate the rest of our trip. We made a strong effort to climb Mont Blanc, but ultimately didn't get within striking distance. It was alright to have at least made the summit of Mont Blanc du Tacul, but we were all still disappointed after having to turn around in our pursuit of Mont Blanc.

In recent decades civilization's millennia-long search for clean, safe drinking water has become much easier with modern purification methods. Today, there are few places in the United States without adequate access to potable water. And about three-fourths of the nation's tap water systems add fluoride, credited with helping to reduce tooth decay over the past half century.
But in recent years some have voiced concerns about the safety of tap water and popularizing an alternative: bottled water. Manufacturers of bottled water routinely market their products as safer and healthier than what comes out of your faucet.
But is that true? A few years ago a non-profit consumer organization called the Environmental Working Group (EWG) performed a detailed, comprehensive study of bottled water. Here's some of what they found.
Lack of transparency. It's not always easy to uncover bottled water sources (in some cases, it might actually begin as tap water), how it's processed, or what's in it. That's because unlike water utilities, which are rigorously monitored by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversees bottled water production with less strenuous guidelines on labeling. Eight out of the top 10 selling brands were less than forthcoming about their water's contents in EWG's investigation.
Higher cost. According to the EPA, the average consumer cost in the last decade for tap water was $2.00 per 1,000 gallons (0.2 cents per gallon). The retail cost for even bulk bottled water is exponentially higher. It can be a costly expenditure for a family to obtain most of their potable water by way of bottled—while still paying for tap water for bathing and other necessities.
Environmental impact. Bottled water is often marketed as the better environmental choice. But bottled water production, packaging and distribution can pose a significant environmental impact. EWG estimated the total production and distribution of bottled water consumes more than 30 million barrels of oil each year. And disposable plastic water bottles have become one of the fastest growing solid waste items at about 4 billion pounds annually.
While there are credible concerns about tap water contaminants, consumers can usually take matters into their own hands with an affordable and effective household filtering system. EWG therefore recommends filtered tap water instead of bottled water for household use.
If you would like more information on drinking water options, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Bottled Water: Health or Hype?"
