LOS ANGELES (AP) - Pharrell Williams will perform at the Academy Awards.
Oscar producers said Tuesday the producer-performer will sing his nominated song "Happy." There was no word on whether his Grammy Award-stealing hat would make an appearance.
Williams wrote "Happy" for "Despicable Me 2." It's nominated for original song along with U2's "Ordinary Love" from "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom," ''Let It Go" by Idina Menzel from "Frozen" and Karen O's "The Moon Song" from "Her."
The 40-year-old Williams has been on quite a run with prominent roles in the recent hits "Get Lucky" and "Blurred Lines" and with four Grammy wins, including producer of the year.
The Oscars will be presented March 2.

It has not been public investments in sustainable fuels and modern tools that have led to the re-awakening of the U.S. economy. Rather, it's been mostly private investment in shale gas development...
The Power to Reduce CO2 Emissions: The Full Portfolio
What the U.S. electricity sector must do to significantly reduce CO2 emissions in coming decades.
design criteria, high-frequency seismic design criteria, quality assurance standards, and fitness for duty—in support of a commercial operation goal of 2015.
• By 2020 to 2025, develop enhancements to ALWR design, construction, and operations ( e.g., modular construction, advanced automated plant controls, enhanced standardization) based on successful technology transfer of construction and operating experience from the existing fleet and early ALWR deployments.
Special Considerations
Two nuclear-energy related technology areas not specifically analyzed in the EPRI report nevertheless will have a bearing on the commercial electricity sector: spent-fuel management and high-temperature gas reactors (HTGR).
Spent-Fuel Management
Spent fuel management, although important to the long-term sustainability of nuclear energy, does not contribute directly to CO 2 emissions reductions. Today's plants and those to be constructed between now and 2030 will be able to store spent fuel on site. For economic, energy security, and sustainability reasons, however, there is an imperative to establish an integrated spent-fuel-management system consisting of centralized interim storage, long-term geologic storage, and, when necessary, a closed nuclear-fuel cycle (recycling, reprocessing, and advanced reactor strategies). The current analysis assumes a consensus strategy is established by 2012 for integrated and cost-effective spent fuel management. Long-term projections in the 2050 time frame include a closed fuel cycle and deployment of "fast" reactors enabling the new fuel cycle. While not an imperative to achieving substantial emissions reductions by 2030, future RD&D will be necessary to enable a successful, cost-effective transition from a once-through to closed fuel cycle.
High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactors (HTGR)
Operating at much higher temperatures (700ºC to 950ºC) than conventional LWR technology (300ºC), high-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGR) can generate both electricity and process heat for industrial processes. Although originating from electricity-sector technology, HTGRs will provide a non-emitting technology option to reduce CO 2 emissions from large industrial energy consumers ( e.g., hydrogen production, petrochemical operations, and desalination). The Next Generation Nuclear Plant (NGNP) commercial demonstration project—the U.S. Department of Energy's name for the U.S. application of HTGR technology—already is underway. Key research milestones and deployment targets include prototype HTGR plant operation by 2018 and commercial HTGR introduction by the mid-2020s.
Challenge 4: Advanced Coal
Coal currently accounts for more than half of the electricity generated in the United States, and is projected by most analyses to remain the backbone of U.S. electricity supply through 2050 and beyond. Sustaining coal as a viable option in a carbon-constrained world entails increasing the efficiency and reducing the capital cost of pulverized coal (PC) and integrated gasification combined-cycle (IGCC) technologies, and bringing CO 2 carbon capture and storage to the point of cost-effective commercialization by 2020. Large- scale demonstrations will be necessary to convince private industry that technology commercialization is feasible.
The technology development pathways outlined in this section are intended to achieve two key targets: first, increase the efficiency of PC and IGCC baseload plants (with CO 2 capture) to the 43- to 45-percent range by 2030; and second, ensure that all coal plants built after 2020 have the capability to capture and store 90 percent of the CO 2 produced.

April Fools' 2013: The best techy pranks of the day
Summary: Just because ZDNet didn't pull your leg with any fictitious, fun stories today, that doesn't mean others haven't. Here are some of the best of this year's April Fools' jokes.
12 of 27Image
10. Google takes on Gmail "Blue"
"How to we completely redesign something and recreate something while keeping it exactly the same?"
That's Google's swipe at "Blue," the codename for the next-generation update for Windows that has been reported on in recent weeks. Microsoft's Blue project will ultimately revamp Windows 8's "Metro" user interface with some tweaks and new features later this year, along with some other hidden, unknown mysteries. Oh, you guys.
You can find out more about Google Blue here.
11. Toshibasphere
Toshiba, in true April Fools' spirit, has another product reserved for this special day. The Toshibasphere is essentially a games console with Kinect-like abilities, that includes multiple HDMI ports, a 809.3b infrared motion detection feature, and 12 core 3.5 Ghz processors.
With such hit titles as "Patriarch 2013" and "Contract Negotiations," it's bound to be a popular console. And, according to Gamer Device Magazine, "We've never seen anything like this." That's because you haven't. It doesn't exist.
You can check out the video here.
12. Twitter becomes Twttr
Twitter finally has its business model sorted — at long last. For only $5 a month, you will be able to use the "premium" version of Twitter that includes vowels. Those unlucky enough to be on the basic version will have to suffer without using a single vowel.
But Twitter, dubbed "Twttr," is playing fair. "A E I O U and sometimes Y," it says on its blog, because out of the goodness of its own heart, "we believe that 'Y' should always be free to everyone — today and forever.
Check out Twitter's announcement here.

Big splash, cold cash.
Since late July, the "ice bucket challenge" of donate-or-get-doused has raised about $9 million a week for those with the condition better known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. As of Wednesday, the total given to the ALS Association was approaching $100 million.
An association spokeswoman, Carrie Munk, says the trick now is figuring out how to spend the windfall wisely. Research, care and advocacy are the group's three main missions.
"We realize there are responsibilities that come with being good stewards of these dollars," she says.
In the last month, everyone from Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates to former President George W. Bush has been doused. The Internet and airwaves are awash in videos of people taking the challenge -- even if they intend to write the check.

Ready Set . . . Do/I Can Enjoy Almost Anything
(Red Cat Records)
A band had better have a double keg of chutzpah on hand when its idol and main influence is in the room. Luckily for the Yuppie Pricks, Jello Biafra has a sense of humor -- one that the band has appropriated, along with the grubby urgency of the Dead Kennedys' later work. But while Brokers Banquet may have Biafra's cojónes -- as well as his cameo appearance -- it lacks his range. Its uniformly sarcastic shtick about debutantes, sushi and screwing the poor is none the funnier for the fact that the iconic "yuppie," while reflected in the petty snobbery of our Queer Eye nation, is a dusty anachronism.
The Doers are also anachronistic, but only in that they play sunny indie rock without a trace of self-importance. Like the Yuppie Pricks, their hero is on board: Mike Watt, of primordial DIY outfits the Minutemen, and fIREHOSE, who plays bass on four of this debut disc's 17 tracks. But this stack of pop tarts is a thing of humble beauty that probably says more about the band members' commitment to each other than to any guru.

DEFINITION of 'Incubation'
A trial process in which a fund company operates a number of funds privately with its own capital or employee capital, and only opens the top performing funds to the public. The higher performing funds that survive the incubation period are used by the fund company to generate business. The funds with unattractive performance, which would be more difficult to market, are liquidated.
See also "incubated fund."
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Incubation'
While there is nothing illegal about this practice, some consider it to be unethical because it can overstate the investing performance of the fund company, creating what is known as incubation bias.
For example, suppose that a fund company starts three funds that earn returns of -5%, 2%, and 20%, respectively, over a one-year period. If the fund company only opens the 20% fund to the public and does not disclose the other performances, a bias is created because the average performance of the three funds is actually 5.7%.

ARLINGTON — Both TCU and UT Arlington were in dire need of a victory Tuesday night.The Horned Frogs not only got the 5-4 win in front of 4,015 at Rangers Ballpark, but two important pieces to their roster showed signs of coming out of month-long slumps.In the fourth inning, Jerrick Suiter belted the first pitch he saw off the wall in left field just a few inches short of a home run to drive in two runs and give TCU a 3-2 lead.It was Suiters first RBIs since March 8 and gave him six for the season. Suiter, a major run-producer for the Frogs during their run to the Super Regionals last season, entered the game batting .114 and had been in and out of the lineup while trying to snap out of his struggles at the plate.I got fisted a little bit, said Suiter, who still managed a stand-up double off the wall despite not getting the full barrel on the ball. I got to second and I didnt really know what to do. Its been a while since Ive been out there.Later, Suiter showed further proof of breaking out of his slump by singling to the opposite field in the eighth.The other important piece was Stefan Crichtons 2 2/3 innings of work out of the bullpen to earn his first victory of the season. Crichton (1-1) forced two groundouts with the tying run at second against Matt Shortall and Justin Copeland, the Mavericks 3 and 4 hitters, to end the fifth.Crichton entered the game with an ERA over 12.00 after struggling through 7 2/3 innings. He has been a big-game pitcher for TCU (9-11) for two seasons, and under the lights at Rangers Ballpark he came up big again.Ive never had to deal with this kind of adversity, Crichton said. Its been hard but Ive just been working my way back, grinding, trying to figure stuff out. Being out here in this kind of environment you just kind of have to soak it in. I think thats what we did.UTA (10-10) took a 2-0 lead with runs in the first and second innings against TCU starter Trevor Seidenberger. Keaton Jones scored Cody Jones with a sacrifice fly to pull the Frogs to within 2-1 in the third.Ryan Walkers double in the fifth scored Derek Miller to cut TCUs lead to 4-3 and knocked Seidenberger from the game.After the Frogs made it 5-3 in the top of the seventh, the Mavericks threatened to tie it up in the bottom half of the inning with Copelands two-out double to the right-center gap. Miller came around from second to score, but Shortall was thrown out at the plate after TCU second baseman Paul Hendrix threw a relay strike to catcher Paul Bacak, who took a shot but held onto the ball to end the inning.He made a great throw, UTA coach Darin Thomas said. We had a couple chances, but they bring good arms in there. Theyre tough to score on. Thats a tough team to come back on with the arms they can throw out there. We just didnt execute a couple things and it cost us.Freshman Alex Young, who struggled a bit in Sundays loss to Kansas, earned his first career save by closing out the game with two perfect innings.To come back in a big-league park and just pound the strike zone for two innings thats really good and definitely a win we needed, TCU coach Jim Schlossnagle said. Theyre all tough. Im glad we won one tonight.

Re: "Paramount promises [...] a few new surprises."
A nice thought, but I wonder how many people would actually open that fourth box to find the apology in the first place....

Ofcom: UK broadband speed on the up as punters' packages swell
My connection (with BT as my provider) dropped over the weekend from around 5-6Mb/s to about 2-2.5Mb/s... I may be being unneccesarily cynical when I wonder if it's at all related to the fact that "superfast" BT Infinity will be available at the end of the month ....
Netflix vs Lovefilm
Netflix + PS3 + DNS tweak...
I've signed up to the Netflix trial, and like many others found their offering pretty poor for the UK market - this could be down to the fact that it's a new service, it could be down to digital boundary enforcement by dumb-ass distributors.
I heard about a quick DNS change in my PS3's network settings, which has now given me full access to the US catalogue, and it's now totally worth the £6 a month. I've no idea (not being a networky techie) if the dns change will affect my online gaming or PSN Store offerings - not that I use either very much, but for the sake of a dead quick amendment to the network settings (which could also be applied at router level to affect every machine on your network), it's opened up a whole raft of movie and tv choices...
Anyway, that's my experience and if it helps anyone else, then best of luck to you.

Union talks up offshoring dangers to UK economy
Re: Private Sector strikes.
Don't you see how private sector strike action is totally self-defeating?! Private sector companies work on the premise of making profit. If they stop providing a service due to industrial action, customers go elsewhere, profits drop, and a round of redundancies follows shortly thereafter - BA being a prime example - do you think the union cancelled strike action because they achieved their aims? No, they cancelled it because the terms they were fighting for would be academic if the company went bust!.
In the private sector there's competition - the choice of the consumer to use another provider if one can't live up to your expectations. If my house catches fire while the local fire brigade is on strike because the toilet paper in the station house is just a little too scratchy for their poor bums, short of starting up my own rival fire brigade service, what can I do but burn?
@Michelle Knight.
"So let me ask you a question .... how would you handle this if you were our side of the fence; having to contribute more money to your pension, working longer for it, having it be worth less at the end and also having it rise at a rate which is slower than inflation; seeing you descend in to poverty with each ongoing year?"
If you add to that the constant threat of redundancy/company administration, no pay rises for years, actual real-terms pay cuts to keep companies afloat - never mind mere "below inflation" pay rises which are constantly propagandised as "pay cuts", and no ability to strike, you have what the private sector have been facing for years
Funny how offshoring is suddenly a bad thing when it's public sector jobs being offshored, but when my private sector job was being offshored a few years ago I was told that it allowed "increased competition" and it was a "very good thing".
Ghost of 'ACS:Law' threatens alleged Greek filesharers
Story update...
From the BBC:
"Andrew Crossley told the BBC that e-mails sent out in the name of ACS:Law were a scam and nothing to do with him."
Now, which emails is he talking about? The recent ones, or the original ones? Perhaps he's trying the Murdoch approach - "yeah, people were apparently extorting money with threats in my name, but I didn't know about any of it...."
MPs probe science behind bogus gov booze guidelines
"Governments sponsor academics to produce "science" of dubious quality to support conclusions reached in advance, what you might call "evidence-based policy-making". We recounted one example of that here related to minimum pricing for alcohol."
Surely you mean policy-based evidence-making"?
A good article, and it'll be a nice step forward if it were to ever come to anything - no government wants to be in the position of making policy based on sound science, surely...

BT, TalkTalk in court seeking axe for Digital Economy Act

Council dives into crematorium-heated pool
Don't understand the fuss...
These crematoriums are gas-powered, right? It's not like they're flicking a lighter under a corpse and letting it burn itself out, throwing another one on top if the temperature of the pool drops a little low..
To me it makes sense to make use of the excess heat, rather than just let it go up a chimney as waste.
Also, can someone let me know why Unison are even involved? Are they now hoping to claim union dues from the recently deceased, or are they "representing" the views of the funeral directors and crematorium staff?

Beeb say sorry for Stephen Fry A-bomb quip
Ok, I know I'm not Japanese, but...
I saw this episode of QI, and remember them discussing this. Yes, it was mentioned that he could be the unluckiest person in the world for being in both cities when they were bombed, but they also turned it around and pointed out that the fact that he survived both blasts could also have meant that he was, in fact, the luckiest person in the world. Sounds balanced and the poor man in question certainly wasn't made the butt of any poor taste jokes that I remember.
Perhaps this is just my own naivety, in which case I apologise, and I know that I'm anything but "high-brow", but I don't see anything to be getting offended about - perhaps someone could (politely) explain it to me - I am legitimately confused by the reaction. Granted there may be some ... sensitivity ... over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, understandably so, but surely you can't cause offence by implying someone is unlucky to have been hit by two nuclear devices?
Perhaps I should brace myself for boos and downvotes...

Nathan and the Stone Crabs
By J.B. Crawford
CreateSpace, 2011
Softcover, 216 pp., $12.95
www.amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com
"Stone crabs is the onliest things in the ocean that a man can take out, harvest, return to the water and then come back to harvest again," writes J.B. Crawford in his novel "Nathan and the Stone Crabs." "Stone crabs, they live on. Come back to fight another day."
Crawford, 78, is a Cortez, Fla., native and commercial fisherman who has worked in a variety of fisheries through the years. He also earned a bachelor's degree in English, graduating from the University of Florida with honors. Plus he holds two advanced degrees from Harvard, including a doctorate. And he's served a full career in public education, retiring as a California district superintendent.
Crawford added "author" to his resume last year. He calls "Nathan and the Stone Crabs" a tribute to a "unique and special way of life in a small historical fishing village on Florida's West Coast." It takes place in the fictional fishing town of DeSoto, set near Tampa Bay.
Nathan has come to DeSoto to visit his grandfather. His mom, B.D.'s daughter, grew up there, but prefers the world of fine dining in Los Angeles to what she perceives as a less refined lifestyle in DeSoto. But she sends Nathan to see DeSoto for himself and make up his own mind.
See it Nathan does, with B.D.'s help. He learns plenty about the town, its fishing heritage, and its hardworking people. The teenager goes stone crabbing with B.D. and his first mate, Hands, and learns for himself what it's like.
Nathan's interested in medicine, has taken first aid courses and wants to be a doctor, but he also finds the fishing life to his liking. He'll need to call on all his medical training when Hands becomes seriously injured one trip. Will Nathan be up to the test?
"Nathan and the Stone Crabs," moves quickly and offers plenty of information about life in the Florida fishing villages, their history, the stone crab fishery and the plight of fishermen impacted by the gillnet ban the state implemented in the mid-1990s. It's an easy read and a great way to introduce readers of any age to the commercial fishing life. It demonstrates how just like the stone crabs, commercial fishermen can suffer adversity, but they'll live to fight another day.

Heard someone say at work yesterday that "there was only one army to scare the hell out of the united states military,and that was the confederate army".
It kinda makes since if you look at the death tolls and directly compare the two side, the confederates were running the union army ragged early on,but the south lacked the infrastructure for sustained war fighting and lost through attrition.
---Shoot To Thrill---
I've been to that battlefield many times and have hiked almost all of the different trails (even the confederate approach). I guess my dad is not taking the scout troop to there this year.

Produced in association with Australia Zoo – the animalarium owned by the family of late croc-botherer Steve Irwin – this is an Antipodean take on Zoo Keeper. You have to match three or more tiles displaying cartoon renditions of kangaroos, crocodiles, echidnas and other down-under fauna in order to clear a stage and unlock information about 20 animals.
Sadly, this isn't a patch on Zoo Keeper – or most other match-three games, for that matter. Graphics are muddy and indistinct, power-up tiles (including a 'Crikey!' one) are too readily available, and even on the hardest difficulty it's not very challenging. Completing every stage will take just a few hours, and then there's zero incentive to return. As a cash-in on the Steve Irwin name this is pretty cheap, and as a game it's very lame.

This article only hints at the problem, but it sounds as though he got into something physical with a younger child and with the minister father. Not enough information to determine who was at fault.On the face of it, he may be a troubled kid with serious problems and a gift of gab.We´ll see.

CRESSWELL: "I definitely like the popcorn and the pizza."
DECHTER: "What's you're favorite part of the garden?"
MIA CLARKE: There's food in it and we get to eat it."
DECHTER: "What's your favorite recipe?"
ERNESTO BARRIGA: Popcorn!
HIRSHEN: "Why do you like the popcorn recipe so much?"
BARRIGA: " It tastes delicious, because its nutritional yeast."
DECHTER: "You like the yeast?"
BARRIGA: "Yes. I love the yeast."
DECHTER: "How about all those dark green vegetables in it?"
BARRIGA: "Yes. I love it too."
HIRSHEN: "He's become a popcornista. Popcorn is a big deal here. And recently we started doing popcorn salad. Where we'll pick some of the greens in the garden. We have about 12 things. Three kinds of arugula, two kinds of kale, two kinds of spinach, bok choi, pak choi, broccolini and broccoli rapini, Chives, chard, mustard greens. We pick a lot of those things and we triple wash them. And we have this special roll up the towel drying technique. And we'll take those greens, tons of them. And like, maybe not 50-50, but 70 popcorn and 30% greens. We'll mix it all together with the salt and the olive oil and the nutritional yeast and the kids eat it all."
DECHTER: "Raw greens?"
HIRSCHEN: "Raw, Absolutely. And they love it… they go nuts!" (kids laughing)
Sherwood Montessori in Chico has a Farmers Market every other Friday at 3pm, where families can taste the kids cooking projects. And today Chef Richie and 8th grade Sous Chef Finn Cresswell will speak at the "8th annual "This Way to Sustainability Conference" on the Chico State campus. That's this morning at 9. They will be signing their new cookbook called "GROW – COOK – EAT," which has been nominated for a Greenie Award. It includes lots of recipes that kids love. Like broccoli latkes… and a really simply made ricotta cheese from milk, vinegar and cheesecloth or paper towels. You can find that recipe on our KCHO News Blog. I'm Lorraine Dechter."
We've also included, as a special treat, Chef Richie's recipe and the story about his infamous sun-dried tomato pizza sauce. (See recipes below).
HIRSHEN: "Working with Mooney Farms is great. I get to travel and have a lot of fun with those people. They have a great product too. We use their olive oil here. They've donated lots of it. I'm so grateful to them for helping to make these kids' quality of life so much better because of local olive oil. I mean we don't use butter. We only use olive oil and rice oil and lately some avocado oil. I'm learning about some of these newer products because of my work with them. Because I go to the fancy food show in San Francisco every year. And this year I'll be doing the International Pizza Expo in Las Vegas for the second year in a row. It's so fun! I was the only guy out of 2000 vendors with a sun-dried tomato pizza sauce. So all of this boils down to, a really great community experience."
DECHTER: "How do you make a sun-dried tomato pizza sauce?"
HIRSHEN: "You take the Mooney Farms bruschetta mix which they have made. They are the largest producers of sun-dried tomatoes in America and maybe the world. So they have all these different products. So use their bruschetta mix and we put that into their tomato-artichoke pasta sauce. This is what we did last year and made our own version of a pizza sauce. This year I think they're actually going to do it in the laboratory. So we should be a little more evolved than we were last year but it was awesome. It was the best sauce in the whole place by far."
HIRSHEN: "To make ricotta we take 8 cups of milk. 8 of those little cartons that are left over from lunch. We scald the milk. We put in a teaspoon of salt. We use kosher salt here because its a cleaner flavor. And then we put in 3 tablespoons of white wine vinegar. And the curds separate from the whey. And we take the curds out with a strainer and put it into cheesecloth or even paper towels if you want to cheat and you can't go get cheesecloth. And then immediately you have ricotta and you can eat it warm right there. Or cold later or put it on pizza. It's a really, sort of a science experiment."
(When cooking brown rice) HIRSHEN: "We use a rice mix inside from Lundberg. And we often use Masa Organics from Orland. And we try to use as many local products as we can and support local farming and they support us equally by donating sometimes and just by sharing the experience of being a team in the local locavore movement."
90% of the garden at Sherwood Montessori public charter school was donated by Emily Kollar from Americorps "Food Corps" through CNAP (Center for Nutrition and Activity Promotion). HIRSHEN: "We've grown all this from seed. Matt Martin of Pyramid Farms with his great carrots at the Saturday Farmers Market, has come here recently and planted with me. We got down in the dirt right there together with some kids and we planted a lot of carrots. And those are Matt Martin's carrots. They're Nantes variety. I just got from a friend a Scarlet Nantes packet of seeds in my pocket. The seeds are all donated. Matt donated his seeds and his time. GRUB, who we're very closely connected too. You see those raised beds right there. They were put in by Elliot Profit of GRUB as a donation. So materials, time, the whole thing. And they've given us a lot of compost and supported us in many ways." (They just planted 2000 seeds, which they do three times a year.)

An Irish broom dancer (Irish dancing with a broom as near as we can figure it) is the latest star hit in "Britain's Got Talent" even if Simon Cowell wanted him swept away.
The cranky Brit did not take to Oliver Moroney's high-stepping antics as he twirled the broom and danced from side to side.
Oliver is a well-known local figure in Tipperary who shows up with his broom at many dances and even did a striptease, down to his Tipperary hurling team shirt and jersey.
This prompted Simon Cowell to ask, "Is this an act?"
Simon was the only judge to hit his buzzer to cancel him. The other three judges liked Oliver's bizarre act, as did the Belfast crowd who applauded loudly.
Another judge, comedian David Walliams (yes it is spelled like that), remarked that he felt that the dance had "a huge sense of tension. Will you touch the brush or not?"
Simon scowled and said, "It's not Riverdance is it?" Amanda Holden told the Tipperary man, "You and your white kneecaps are through to the next round!"
Since the victory Oliver reports a huge increase in interest in his broom dance routine, but promises he will not get swept up in the excitement!

CAT | Fauna
0 Comments | Posted by Charles in Fauna, The Natural World
Over the years, we have found a range of interesting insects, butterflies and spiders around our offices but none compare to this beauty found resting on our parking lot.
Antheraea Polyphemus is one of the larger moths, part of the family Saturniidae or Giant Silk Moths. Common throughout most of the US, Polyphemus lives in a variety of habitats but usually where undergrowth is available for concealment.
Our specimen is at the extreme in terms of size with a wing span just over 51/2 inches. We know it is a male due to its two exquisitely delicate, antennae shaped like ferns. Females have thinner, less showy antennae.
The colorings are also breathtaking. The underside of the wings display a variety of shades of brown, cream and grey, interspersed with ripples of darker and lighter shades in a perfect camouflage for brush. But it is the upper wing surface that are the stars of the show, especially the hind wings. Here, initially hidden from view are two large eyes. Half an inch in diameter, the 'pupil' is transparent, ringed with a brown yellow 'iris' and surrounded by the black 'eye shadow' more typical of owls than moths. And therein lies the rationale for the eyes. An unsuspecting predator such as an American Robin may launch its attack only to be met by the fierce some sight of these two 'owl eyes' as the moth extends its wings.
Polyphemus have some other interesting characteristics. They do not eat during their brief lifespan! In fact, they do not even have mouth parts. All their energy is derived from their earlier life form as a caterpillar. Typically, it takes ten days to hatch the egg into a caterpillar and 5-6 weeks to metamorphose into its full size as a moth. Unsurprisingly, given the moth's inability to eat, the caterpillars eat voraciously.
Finally, Polyphemus are nocturnal so while common in the US, they are not observed as often as butterflies. During the day, they shelter in the undergrowth and are hard to see for all predators.
We were lucky. This one had mated and was at the end of its lifespan. It was barely alive when Danny spotted it and it makes for some beautiful pictures with both a regular camera and under a stereo microscope.
Take a Leaf….
0 Comments | Posted by Charles in Company News, Fauna, The Natural World
Clearing Fall leaves is a thankless task so reward yourself by selecting a few of the more colorful leaves to view under a microscope.
Within seconds you will see what could be satellite images of Earth, the leathery skin of an exotic lizard or is that a giant maw, close up and in full color? The colors look glorious on the trees, but under the microscope the full detail is revealed.
The technique is simple. You simply place a leaf under a stereo microscope or, as with these images, under our new Explorer Series of handheld digital microscopes. We have packaged the Explorers with a range of engaging accessories for the Holidays, all at reduced prices.
It's a great way to engage your kids during a blustery afternoon. Our family has an annual tradition of catching falling leaves. It can get quite competitive – first to catch ten – but it's good fun and great exercise.
It also leads in easily to us all gathered round the microscope to check out the various leaves we have collected. It's such a relief to hear cries of "Wow, that's so cool" from other than an X-Box game!
The Seasons offer a wealth of such specimens to view under a microscope……next up, at least in the North East,….examining snowflakes!
Weightlifting Ants!

Binocular Hammerhead Sharks
0 Comments | Posted by Charles in Fauna, Research
Who would have thought that hammerhead sharks have so much in common with a binocular microscope? Remarkable new research by Dr Michelle McComb, Florida Atlantic University demonstrates that contrary to previous thinking, hammerhead sharks have terrific binocular vision. They can also see through the entire vertical plane – up and down! As if that isn't enough, with a marginal turn of their head, they can see backwards too. Now there's an idea for a microscope!
