Internationally renowned macro photographer K. Jayaram shares his thoughts on conservation and wildlife photography.
Recently, he spent a week at the Gir Forest and photographed the majestic Asiatic lion. "It was a lazy lion," recalls macro photographer K. Jayaram. In another photograph, a leopard attacks a spotted deer. "It's not easy to photograph wildlife. Patience and subject knowledge are important," says Jayaram.
"In the jungle, animals are not waiting to pose for you. Determination, stamina and keen observation matter. One should know the right moment to click. There has to be a willingness to work under harsh weather conditions, and to go without food and water, and to forego sleep," says Jayaram, who got sun-burnt in Gujarat.
Small is beautiful
Jayaram showcased more than 200 high-definition images of insects, plants, birds, animals and butterflies to an eager audience at a recent event. "Every tiny insect in the food chain contributes to the ecosystem. People should be aware of it." A photograph of a solitary male Nilgiri tahr in the background of Kurunji flowers looks striking. It was taken at Eravikulam Sanctuary. "Because of the rains, the flowers were wilting and decaying, but I showed the peak, the habitat and the Tahr." In the image of a pack of wild dogs, he points to an 'alpha' male and says: "He has to be disciplined to be worthy of the title."
Jayaram says photographing frogs are difficult. "It can be photographed only during the rainy season, and after 7 p.m. We have to protect our equipment from the rain and click pictures." Jayaram along with a team has recorded a number of new frog species through India. He has photographed a tree frog with its webbed feet ( it helps the frog to fly like a parachute from one place to another), male bush frogs with an inflated vocal sac like a balloon (used to make mating calls ) and tree frogs with large eyes to gather light and the long powerful legs to kickstart the jump…
Some of the photographs highlight the camouflaging ability of animals — for example, a thin and flat geometric moth (it resembles a bird dropping on a boulder) and a white crab spider camouflaged among night flowers. "The body shape, colour and texture have to blend with the background. Otherwise, it will be picked up by predators," he explains.
Play of light
A dragon fly in an angular composition shows the venation of wings. "When light falls from a latent angle, it illuminates the picture. In the early morning, a flower glows when light strikes at this angle."
There are picture postcard images of after glow, the multi-hued evening sky. "Monsoon is the best time to capture the after glow sky. Now, as there is more pollution, we see lesser colours," he rues. A wasp in flight is a unique photograph too. The wasp travels at a speed of 40 to 50 kms, and covers a distance of one foot in 2.5 seconds. Jayaram has used a special technique and the flash speed at 1/ 50000th of a second to arrest the wings and capture the moment.
Among the delicate creatures, a grass yellow butterfly shows off the soft hairy texture, and caterpillars hang upside down after a heavy diet of leaves. "I used flash as caterpillars are often found in dark bushes. You have to be very accurate in the use of flash, otherwise it disturbs the shape of the body," he says.
Jayaram says the feeding behaviour of insects and birds are fascinating. "When a male blue-tailed bee eater brings the worm, the female turns away and then later snatches it. In the case of a wasp, it paralyses a bush cricket, and refrigerates the food in a burrow for the younger ones."
The macro photograph of the egg cluster of lacewing insects is a work of art. "The insect measures half-an-inch. Each egg is held on a thin silk strand. I was lucky to get straight and parallel strands without any distortion. The eggs can withstand cyclones and any natural calamity," he says. In another image, a female mantis devours a male partner after mating to get nutrients and produce healthy offspring. And, a moth flashes open the under wings with two bright spots, a behaviour that scares the predator.
Following a tiger
Jayaram says how he waited 45 years to photograph a relaxing tigress. It was taken at Bandipur. "Once, I followed a leopard for four hours till it obliged and posed for the camera," he smiles. He has photographed the beautiful Ipsea Malabarica (golden daffodil, found only in the Silent Valley). Another photograph captures the morning mist at Kabini. "We got lost and when the mist cleared for a few seconds I captured the solitary bird," he says.
He says in a jungle one has to be alert. "Once, I noticed a wounded tiger hidden in a bush. Another time, while photographing wild dogs, I looked up and a crested hawk eagle was posing for me. One should approach a photograph aesthetically, like a painting."
Birds and butterflies
Among his bird photographs, the migratory painted stork carries nesting material (it explains the centre of gravity the bird employs while carrying materials), a spot-billed pelican lands on water, Egyptian vulture is in flight, Eurasian spoonbill lands and takes off …there is more
"I use wildlife pictures to tell people how animals are well-behaved and disciplined. If butterflies and birds decide to go on strike, we won't get our food. We extract everything from Nature." The event was organised by Aruvi. Visit them at www.aruvikovai.com or Call: 94421-01335/ 98432-94085.
K. Jayaram took to macro photography at a time when wild animals meant larger mammals. His interest to identify the subject he photographed led him to explore Ornithology, Horticulture, Taxonomy, and Entymology. He has a collection of 3.75 lakh images photographed in the last 50 years. His photographs have participated in over 385 photographic salons in London, Paris and across the world, and have been published in international magazines, journals, and books on Nature. Some of the photographs of butterflies and dragonflies have appeared in publications of the British Museum.

And The Hoya Hunt Resumes......
Hi everyone,
Well, it's off to Lowe's and HD tomorrow for me! Not looking for any particular Hoya, but who knows what I will find :). Wish me luck!
No signs yet of blooms for me, but fungii's still growing like mad, Nikki's happy in her new pot, and lacunosa "Ruby Sue" is growing a new vine.
I also wanted to wish you all a Happy First Day of Spring! :)
Brad AKA Moonwolf
Happy hunting, Brad!
So, let me ask you (and anyone else who cares to answer). If you could choose among any of the EA offerings, which one would you MOST like to spy at your local box store?
Thank you, GG!
Hmm, I would love to find a hanging basket of any of the lacunosas, but the one I'm pining for is "Royal Flush". I have cuttings of "Sno Caps" and the aforementioned "Ruby Sue".
Slightly OT: I'll be picking out a few birthday presents for myself too while I'm up in the town where Lowe's and HD are located. I know I'll be getting another Sailor Moon and/or Codename: Sailor V manga AND (this is the icing on the cake): The CD soundtrack of The Rocky Horror Show: The Original Roxy Cast (1974)! Mom ordered it for me :).
Brad AKA Moonwolf
Royal Flush is a great choice. I was looking with envy at Floridians' pictures of their plants, thinking I couldn't really tell the difference between RF and RS, but now I definitely can. Mine has really transformed under its current lighting conditions.
What is that bella variegata they have on there? It looks like a different lacunosa cultivar. And what's the story with the Hoya lacunosa Albo name? Where'd they get that monicker from?
GG, I think someone posted about EA now carrying bella. Not sure about the lacunosa Albo, but both sound interesting! Although it's not a Hoya, I would be thrilled to find a Lipstick Plant.
Lightning, thank you! I agree, I'm looking forward to and appreciating the sunshine and the warmth we are experiencing. It's another gorgeous day. I still have containers to plant for my Winter Sowing and my containers are sprouting like mad!
Brad AKA Moonwolf
Have fun Brad and find great hoyas!
My wish list from EA is long; curtisi, multiflora, linearis and any lacunosas I'm missing. My only blooming plant is a lacunosa with EA tag "mini waxleaf"... Would like to re pot, and maybe divide it but it's covered with newer ending flowers for couple of month now :o). Rest of the gang is still in diapers and no flowers expected anytime soon. I would love finding grown up plant for small starter $$ like EA, unfortunately big box stores down here newer have any.
Brad, their picture doesn't look like bella to me! Looks more similar to Sno Caps. Bella has a completely different structure. The Gesneriad aeschynanthus (aka lipstick plant) is a very beautiful one. Totally worth having!
Aggie, at the risk of sounding like I'm anti-EA, I just wanted to warn you that these plants aren't necessarily mature just because they fill out a big basket. What they are is a lot of immature starts together in one pot. Which is fine. I just wanted to be clear that it isn't going to bloom any faster than a small plant.
Thank you, Aggie and PerennialGirl!
GG, a Lipstick Plant has been on my wish list for quite a while. I've seen them for sale before and they are just stunning!
Laura, I'll e-mail you when I get back today :).
Dad and I will be eating at Red Lobster for supper for my birthday :). Yum!
Keeping my fingers crossed! If I find anything, I'll have to remember to take pictures when I get back!
Brad AKA Moonwolf
Do you have an ID on your aeschynanthus, Laura? It IS really fun to share vining Gesneriads since they grow so much faster than Hoyas. :) I think they look really good mixed together, too.
Good luck scouting out new Hoyas, Brad. Eat some hush puppies for me!
Well, lo and behold, I am the proud new owner of a Lipstick Plant! They had no Hoyas at HD and only had one pot of curtisii at Lowe's, which is where I got my Lipstick Plant. I'll try and get a picture posted tomorrow!
GG, sorry, no hush puppies! :( They didn't have them on the menu or I would have gotten them for sure! LOL
Brad AKA Moonwolf
Brad AKA Moonwolf
Thank you, GG! Here it is!
The tag says it's a variety called Caroline, but I'm not too sure. The scientific name is A. radicans. Gotta love EA lol. I'm thinking of names for this one. It'll be female, that's for sure. Dolly was one that came to my mind (after, who else, Dolly Parton). Any other suggestions for a name?
Brad AKA Moonwolf
LOL GG, it sounds like I awakened a sleeping giant. Okay, so there's one vote for Dolly. Veronica (from The Archies comics/cartoon), Pizzazz (from Jem), and Janice (from The Muppets) were other choices I picked out. Two other singers whose names I like that I also picked out were Olivia and Tina.
Brad AKA Moonwolf
I'm no Aeschynanthus expert, but they can look very different from one another. I have an A. Kewform and an A. Thai Pink and an A. gracilis and they are easily distinguishable at a glance. Brad, I believe Mira is a cultivar of A. radicans, just as Ruby Sue is a cultivar of Hoya lacunosa. So, I wouldn't read too much into the similarity. Just keep your plant labeled as A. radicans. ^_^
Oh! I wanted to mention to everyone (who doesn't already know):
If you see a Hoya on your local Home Depot or Lowes website, you can order it online and pick up instore. No shipping charges.
Though I wonder if it would be better to put in a request for one of EA's hoyas and patiently wait. Then you could hand pick (and inspect) before purchase.
I wonder if any of the Lacunosa offered by EA are the commonly praised (easily blooming/ amazing smelling) Lacunosa I have heard of.. It's on my shopping list! But everywhere I have read they simply use "Lacunosa."
Ahhh. One of my personal favorites, lacunosa.
The plain one from EA is tagged "Mini Wax-leaf" and below is smaller writing "(Hoya lacunosa)"
And I believe the others are called 'Ruby Sue' 'Snow Caps' and the hybrid of these two, 'Royal Flush'
Here is a link that might be useful: http://www.exoticangel.com/plant-library/species/hoya
EA plain lacunosa for sure blooms like crazy and it's flowers are fragrant! I got it half dead from grocery store, nursed it back to life (just by giving it less water than store and diffused light) and now it's flowering for 4 or 5 month! I would like to re-pot it some day when she is done, but no complains here as this is my only hoya big enough to set flowers :)
Last weekend while grocery shopping got my second EA basket; it was lacking tag but it's green compacta. There was no way I could pass on it, so it went home with me. I don't know if this is record number of cuttings EA managed to stick in one pot, but for ten bucks I got 23 (!) vines ranging 4-12 inches in length! Now there are: original hanging basket, 3 and 8 in pots. It needed new home asap, as there was green mold growing on top of that muddy mess poor thing was growing in! Now it got very chunky bark based mix and I hope it will be happy in it!
/Aggie LOL Yes, let this be our Hoya contest from now on. I dare any of you... ANY. OF. YOU. to beat Aggie's current reigning record of 23 starts in one EA basket. Go forth and idk, drive to Home Depot and buy baskets of million baby Hoyas. Then keep them alive.
/Ren All the lacunosas are wonderful. They are all easily discernible and every one is a treat. :) I started to say go forth... but then I realized I played that card already.
Also, I liked your analysis of EA strategy. Gave me a lol.
/Susan Twister does indeed look hilarious. :) :)

Issue ad market cool despite abundance of hot buttons
Hot-button political issues abound, but political advertising associated with them has largely been absent, with only about $22 million spent on TV spots over January and February.

"Congress isn't really doing anything, and that is never great for advocacy advertising," Wilner said.

A young geisha renounces her family to marry an American man. When he leaves to go back to his own country, she waits with their child for his return.
Though she is the gentlest of heroines, Butterfly has formidable inner strength. Guided by honour and fidelity, sustained by hope, she refuses for the longest time to believe she has been abandoned.
Puccini himself loved Butterfly above all his heroines – her for whom I wrote music in the night. And what music! The score pours out lush melodies, infused with delicate Japanese harmonies – it is as ravishing as anything in opera!

I want to build a social network graph from Facebook data in neo4j (java). I'm trying to search for relevant examples to understand these concepts but still unable to get any of those specific kinds. Please help me to know how can I achieve it and ,if possible, provide appropriate links where i can get related help.
I want to have node and relationship (edge) properties as follows:
Node properties:
String id, name, town;
int numOfFriends;
Double age;
Date dateOfJoining
HashSet<String> postIdSet;
Relationship Properties:
boolean Knows;
int numOfLikes, numOfComments;
float wtLikes, wtComments;
String relationship;
How can I create a
graphDB having nodes and edges with above properties?
I have a sample code structure for creating
graphDB and adding nodes and relationships as follows:
GraphDatabaseService graphDB = new GraphDatabaseFactory().newEmbeddedDatabase(DB_PATH);
Transaction tx = graphDB.beginTx();
try {
/* define relationshipType*/
RelationshipType rel = DynamicRelationshipType.withName(??);
/* create new node with given properties*/
Node node1 = graphDB.createNode();
/* set node1 properties e.g. node1.id="1234" */
/* create another new node with given properties */
Node node2 = graphDB.createNode();
/* set node2 properties e.g. node1.id="5678" */
/* search for node with id "1234" */
Node n1 = getNodeById(graphDB,"1234");
/* search for node with id "5678" */
Node n2 = getNodeById(graphDB,"5678");
/* create relationship between n1 and n2 with above mentioned properties and set their values */
Relationship relationship = n1.createRelationshipTo(n2, rel);
} finally {
How can I add those different properties to a node or to an edge (relationship)?
How can I search for a node with given String
"id" property and updates it's other properties like e.g.
It'd would be most useful if somebody try to fill up/provide the sample solution code to all/any of queries: (1)adding given set of node properties, (2)adding given set of edge properties, (3)searching for node and anything additional.. This can serve as a quick reference to anybody visiting this question.. Thanks.

This communal band takes funk to its logical extremes, with a horn section, percussion, and the commanding, voluptuous presence of lead singer Tiffany Sullivan. Committed to the groove for its own sake, this group wastes no time with social commentary, unless it's "free your ass, and the mind will follow."
This Mesa trio cranks out bratty, snot-nosed funk of the hard-edged variety. Behind the self-consciously juvenile attitude, their musicianship is impressively mature, as evidenced by their 1997 Epiphany CD Who's Your Daddy?.
This group began as a pure rockabilly combo and has subtly shifted its approach to win over the swing camp. Their exuberant showmanship and swinging, Carl Perkins-influenced tunes offer proof that rockabilly is ultimately swing music with a pompadour.
A vintage, horn-driven combo that's become a fixture at Bash on Ash, this group, led by vocalist Jody Byrd, has become one of the most popular local acts with the lindy-hopping fedora crowd. Their resume includes three songs on last year's Swingin' Christmas compilation CD, distributed by BMG.
Because the swing movement has a much greater display of avid dancers than viable live bands, swing mecca Bash on Ash found itself frequently short of bands. Into the breach stepped Swing 42, a band formed by Martin Pendergrast, a power-pop vet who is currently a manager at Bash on Ash, exclusively for the purpose of filling in the gaps on nights when no other swing band was available. Along the way, the group has quite inadvertently developed a sizable following among rock-stepping club regulars.

I just got back from an action-packed week of meetings in Shanghai, China.
Shanghai is one of the more exciting cities I've visited recently as they prepare for the World Expo in May as well as the upcoming Chinese New Year festivities.
As a city Shanghai is a bustling modern metropolis. A city that in a little over thirty years has gone from a small village to mega city of more then 30 million people. In talking with the people I met in Shanghai I quickly came to realize that like myself, most people in Shanghai were not originally from there, most had recently moved there from other areas of China for "economic opportunities" the city now offers.
Looking around the city you'll notice a level of wealth on par or better than most western cities. In a nutshell the reason I found myself in Shanghai was for the very reason the Chinese are now pouring into the the city, the opportunity to capitalize on the new Chinese dream.
As many of you know I've been a big proponent of Cloud Computing in the PRC for quite some time. Not withstanding that China is among the fast growing and largest economies on the globe, China has a significant data center hosting ecosystem made up of a small group of very large state sponsored telecom organizations which makes selling [hosted] Cloud services in this market a challenge to say the least. Fortunately for me their overwhelming need to equip a new and rapidly growing underlying network infrastructure is a huge opportunity, something that myself and Enomaly seem uniquely qualified to offer.
Unlike other markets around the globe the Chinese hosting business lacks any sort of small or middle tier of hosting providers, yet the country has upwards of 40 million small businesses. In my discussions with several of the largest Chinese telecom providers the opportunity is simple, to help a equip these emerging small businesses to become part of the larger global information / internet environment. Yet another driver for the use of cloud based infrastructure in China is the the rapid development found in the data center real estate market. Like the booming real-estate market itself, data center space and capacity is growing at an exponential rate. All this new space means new capacity, capacity that needs to be managed in an adaptive, energy efficient and continually evolving way. Something that cloud computing is ideal for. Also, with the development of a country wide wireless Internet infrastructure, it seems that cloud computing will play a major role in how people access applications and information in China.
How do you say Cloud Computing in Chinese you ask? 雲計算 yún jì suàn -- The reason I mention this is because to do business in China today, you must first understand the way the Chinese do business. Culture is an extremely important part of all aspects of the business environment. As for Enomaly in China, we now count several of the largest Chinese Banks, Power/Energy utilities, Regional Telecoms and even a local police force as ECP customers. What is interesting is we seem to have found ourselves a sought-after niche in the Chinese market. A particular niche that has been overlooked by most in the technology world -- that of cloud enablement. Some of the reasons are simple, others are more complex but it mostly comes down to market access. Things like culture, language and relationships play a hugh role in how business is done here.
To be honest, we were extremely lucky in that we found a major partner in Intel who provided us with on the ground support and introductions to some of the largest players in China. Without the knowhow and help of the Intel China team I doubt we would have had the opportunities that we now enjoy as a small company in this very large market. So my suggestion to any upstart trying to gain a foothold in the Chinese market is to first find an established player with a local team. And second, do not build you're own data centers, local IT policies really don't make running your own data center a reasonable option. Of those who have tried they typically do so under the rationale of "Disaster Recovery" which limits your ability to act as a production hosting facility.
In closing, when it comes to doing business in the PRC, the sky is the limit, keep watching you'll see some exciting Enomaly related news in the very near future.

good mpg, cheap,good interior for its class,
not as powerfull as some cars today, it vibrates too much, electronics faulty like airbag light and check engine light keep flashing
Great Starter Car! — This is my first car and it has to be crappy becuz I have dinged it up quite a bit at first, any parent who gives there child a brand new car for there first car is nutz. This car actually runs like new and purs like a kitten when starting up, I actually think its sexy..lol a 95 with about 195,000 miles on it and still going strong, plus it saves gas, 30+ mpg and the car was 1,500 bucks. its a good starter car and will last forever ir u maintain it like regular checkups at the shop, I heard that these cars can last up to several hundred thousand miles if kept in good condition. The appearance is unique, if u get a 95 altima, i suggest trying to find a tan/gold color one since it looks the best, other colors like white or green or red I've seen looks crappy.

Good power and speed from the SR20 engine.
Plastics on the radiator and cooling system become brittle. I converted it back to a copper unit.
Nissan Sss — This is the one car we used on most cross-island drives around Luzon. Manila to Bicolandia, Manila to Ilocandia, and the almost legendary trip over the top Ilocos to Pagudpud to Cagayan Valley. All these trips it showed great acceleration and speed. Good power. Great comfort. Fun to drive!

It is a solid build at 4000+ Lbs. with lots of pontential
Not enough power at 155Hp and 150Lbs
Another Great Car By Nissan — The fact that the Aussies got the AWD and a SR20DET and we got a FWD and a truck motor and a tranny from a minivan. But still it is better than driving a honda. All and All this car is well balanced all aroud car with a tank of a motor.

Looked good and drove well
it was a 4 door
Better Than A Sentra — I got a sweet deal on this can and really liked it. It was blue and probably the nicest car I have ever owned. It ran great preformed well it has a 2.4 liter motor. Gas mileage was decent cornered well. Not too much else to say about this car it was a good car.

1995 Nissan Altima GXE Review
Extremely Reliable 4-door Sedan. — Everyone says that Nissan makes the most reliable engines ever; and they weren't lying. My mom still drives this, and even with its 175,000 miles on it, I've never had to repair it (myself or for her). The paintjob's clearcoat seems to have suffered, and that may pose rust problems in the future, but it's a very comfortable and sound car otherwise. Despite its reliability, it suffers a little in fuel efficiency as compared to the other 4-cyl sedans that I've owned.

Dr. Robert J. Roecklein was born in Washington Township, New Jersey. He received the B.A. degree in Government cum laude from the University of Notre Dame in 1983. In 1990 and 1997, Roecklein received the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Political Science from Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey.
Dr. Roecklein received training in an interdisciplinary writing program at Rutgers while writing his dissertation. In the fall of 1999, he was appointed co-director of the Douglas campus writing program, overseeing thirty-five faculty, and running the college writing center. In September of 2001, Roecklein joined the Composition program at Penn State Behrend, teaching three semesters of composition and one section of political philosophy each semester.
Roecklein has published three books since 2010 on the issue of perception as it bears upon representative government. Early Modern Philosophy revived ancient atomism, and said atomism denies that human perceptions can adequately or directly know the external objects about us. This subtle and sophisticated teaching was refuted by Plato in his dialogue the Parmenides. Roecklein revives Plato's critique, and applies it to a succession of Early Modern Political Philosophers: Machiavelli, Bacon, Hobbes, Spinoza, Locke, Hume, and Bentham. One must understand the physics behind modern political science, in order to be able to arrive at a satisfactory understanding of its ethical intent.
Roecklein teaches four different political philosophy courses here at Penn State Behrend: 017W (Writing Intensive Introduction to Political Philosophy); 430 (Selected Texts in the History of Political Philosophy); 432 (Modern and Contemporary Political Philosophy); and 155 (Understanding Tyranny).

Bill McLean is a lecturer in communication at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College. He has taught a number of different courses at Behrend, including Effective Speech, Persuasion and Propaganda, Mass Media & Society, Rhetorical Theory, and American Popular Culture and Folklife. After earning a B.A. in English literature from Penn State University, he worked as a Curriculum Coordinator for Northwest Pennsylvania Regional Broadcasting and as an Instructional Media Production Supervisor for The School District of The City of Erie. He then pursued graduate studies at The University of Pittsburgh, earning a M.A. in Rhetoric and Communication.
At the intersection of his academic formation and his abiding interest in rock'n'roll lies his principal research interest in the cultural and political impact of popular music. A current line of inquiry ponders how technological changes in the production, delivery, and consumption of music may influence the personal experience and cultural significance thereof.
Cognizant of the mission of Behrend in the broader Erie community, McLean is involved in a number of community organizations in a variety of capacities. Organizing and coaching in youth athletic leagues, serving as a member of various boards, and participating in community events represent an attempt to respond to the challenge of that mission.

They are genetically rather close but can be distinguished with karyology and molecular markers (nrITS-region). They were indeed thought to be conspecific by many authors, however, exhibit major ontogenetic, morphological and anatomical differences which indicates a strongly divergent evolution. Gagea trinervia differs from G. graeca in having bulbils with stolon-like hypopodium, a regular sister bulbil at the immature stage, an unifacial, juvenile-like basal leaf to adult stage, few cauline leaves, few flowers and a low level of sexual reproduction. These two species make up Gagea sect. Anthericoides, the most early-branching clade of the genus, endemic to the Mediterranean. The closest species phylogenetically is Gagea serotina, that is referred to the separate section Lloydia (Salisb.) Peruzzi & al. comb. & stat. nov.",
