Nyctibatrachus humayuni
Bombay Night Frog
|family: Nyctibatrachidae
© 2011 Bert Willaert (1 of 1)
A frog with a stout and compressed body. Males are 32-48 mm (SVL) and females are 37-48 mm (SVL) (Kunte 2004; Bhaduri and Kriplani 1955). The head is broad, with a snout that is short and rounded. Eyes are bulging, directed forward and upward, and have narrow upper eyelids. Pupils are vertical. There is an oblique fold underneath the eye, and the upper eyelid has distinct tubercles. The tympanum is hidden beneath the skin. A relatively large, free-moving tongue is deeply notched behind. Vomerine teeth patches are present in two slightly oblique series, each with 6-8 teeth in a single row, separated by a narrow space, and set back from the choanae. The forelimb is short and robust with moderately long, semi-flattened fingers (3>4>2>1). Fingertips and toe tips are dilated into large discs with a horizontal circummarginal groove separating the upper from the lower surface; finger discs are mostly the same size except for the fourth one which appears slightly smaller. The palm has one or two tubercles. The hindlimb is similarly stout and somewhat long, with toes that are moderately flattened and completely webbed except for the fourth one (4>5=3>2>1). Subarticular tubercles are moderately developed, and a small inner metatarsal tubercle is present but no outer metatarsal tubercle. There is a deep fold of skin on the outer side of the fifth toe (Bhaduri and Kripalani 1955). Males have larger toe-discs than females, which may help in holding onto leaves during lengthy vocalization periods (Kunte 2004). Males lack vocal sacs (Bhaduri and Kripalani 1955) and they also lack the nuptial pads that are common to many male anurans (Kunte 2004).
Nyctibatrachus humayuni coloration in preserved specimens ranges from grayish to brownish black dorsally. If present, dorsal markings are irregular and darker. The venter is slightly gray, with ventral patterning usually consisting of dark stain-like blotches on the chin and throat. Limbs may have dark crossbars or spots (Bhaduri and Kripalani 1955). In life, adult males have colorful femoral glands which may be pale orange to bright orange or pink (Kunte 2004).
The tadpole is of moderate size (47 mm) at a stage where the legs are half developed. Its head and body are narrowly oval, and moderately flattened with the ventral surface being slightly convex. The tail is about one and a half times longer than the head and body, and it gradually narrows to a blunt point. The eyes are dorsolateral, pointing forwards and upwards, and the nostrils are widely spaced and nearer to the tip of the snout. The spiracle is lateral, sinistral, pointing upwards and backwards, and located about halfway been the tail and the tip of the snout. The vent is dextral. The mouth has a small oral disc which is surrounded by the anterior and posterior lips. The anterior lip is distinct, fringed with 3-4 rows of short papillae just above the upper beak, and can be closed down over the mouth. The posterior lip consists of 3 lobes, the upper part of which can be folded backwards. The upper beak is entirely black, and is relatively broader than the lower one, which is more stout, V-shaped, and consists of a whitish basal part. Both beaks are finely serrated. The tadpole itself is dark brown on its dorsal side and whitish on its ventral side, with irregular dark markings (Bhaduri and Kriplani 1955).
Distribution and Habitat
Country distribution from AmphibiaWeb's database: India
This species is endemic to the Western Ghats mountains of the state of Maharashtra in southwestern India. Records from this state are primarily from Konya Valley, Bhimashankar, and Amboli.Nyctibatrachus humayuni is also prevalent in the states of Goa and Karnataka in southern India, mainly between Castle Rock and Dudhasagar. It has an altitudinal range of 200 to 1,200 m above sea level (Stuart et al. 2008). This species lives under stones and in crevices, in small, often steep and rocky hill-streams which have significant overhanging vegetation and run through thick evergreen and semi-evergreen forests (Bhaduri and Kripalani 1955; Kunte 2004).
Life History, Abundance, Activity, and Special Behaviors
There is no amplexus in this species, making N. humayani the only known Old World frog species to completely lack amplexus. This is very unusual; only two other anuran groups (Dendrobatidae and Rhinodermatidae) have species which do not engage in any form of amplexus (Crump 1972; Limerick 1980; Busse 1991). Unlike dendrobatids and rhinodermatids, N. humayani has larger clutches and does not exhibit parental care. Surprisingly, N. humayani achieves 100% fertilization even in the absence of amplexus (n=85 clutches, totaling 1,937 eggs; Kunte 2004).
The breeding season starts with the beginning of the southwest monsoon, by the end of May to early June, and continues until mid-September. Rain and monsoon seasons lead to short peaks in breeding. Males perch up to a meter high on leaves overhanging flowing water of steep, rocky forest streams. If overhanging vegetation is not present, they resort to perching on wet, slanted, moss-less rock faces adjacent to the stream. Calling sites are spaced approximately 5-8 m apart, with some further apart. Vocalizations are used both for advertisement to females and for territorial defense as well, since a single male exclusively claims a large territory with several suitable calling posts that later serve as oviposition sites. If competition arises, the larger male is always dominant (Kunte 2004).
Nyctibatrachus humayuni is similar to the centrolenids (glass frogs) in depositing eggs mainly on vegetation overhanging water. Males vocalize from leaves that are 10-100 cm above the stream, or from the moss-free rocks adjacent to the stream (thus some eggs may be deposited on streamside rock surfaces as well). Females search through several male territories to choose a male. As the female approaches the chosen, vocalizing male, his calls get more frequent. The male steps to the side and continues to vocalize while the female deposits her eggs at the exact calling site. If she deposits part of the clutch at a second location, it is always the spot a few centimeters away where the male moved after her arrival. Thus, the male determines the oviposition site since the female follows his vocalization to release her clutch of eggs Immediately after the clutch is released, the female returns back to the water and the male ceases calling and positions himself to fertilize the eggs. After fertilization, the male resumes his calling at a new site a few centimeters away (on the same branch, often on the same leaf), until he is encountered by a different female. Clutches fertilized by the same male are thus spatially clustered (Kunte 2004).
Females lay at least two and potentially up to six clutches per breeding season, with 10-55 eggs in each clutch. Each newly laid egg measures 2.5-3 mm in diameter. After about 12-15 days of development, tadpoles hatch by aggressively wriggling in the egg-jelly, which bursts and releases them into the flowing water underneath. There is no parental care for this species (Kunte 2004).
It is thought that reproductive success is approximately equal between the sexes in this species, since most calling males typically succeeded in attracting multiple females, and females lay multiple clutches. This may contribute to the lack of sexual dimorphism for N. humayuni (Kunte 2004).
Trends and Threats
The population is vulnerable and declining, due mainly to habitat loss and pollution. It is currently protected by national legislation and protected within the Koyna and Bhimashankar Wildlife Sanctuaries in the state of Maharashtra (Stuart et al. 2008).

BENEFITING: Architecture for Humanity
EVENT DATE: Sep 07, 2010
The Center will have a library, enabling 300 students daily to access books and internet connections; Affording 150 children to attend Early Childhood Education; Training 250 youth on computer skills.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
The project intends to address the high illiteracy rate in the slums. As most single room homes do not have power and are too small, measuring 10"x10", there is a massive lack of adequate reading facilities. This situation is not conducive for children to perform well in school and only 0.1% of the students in this situation go to college or university. The project addresses street children and lack of technology in the slums since it is expensive for the poor to afford internet connectivity.
How will this project solve this problem?
We will provide a day care center for poor children who would have been left to the streets and give their mothers access to computer training classes; Library with Computer lab; Computer training centre; Internet café; Radio station; and playing ground. This is the only project of its' kind in this slum, providing support to the poor.
Potential Long Term Impact
Over 200 children to graduate yearly to Primary school, improving the education standard in the slums and reducing the number of children in the streets. It will improve performance in schools through library and technology reducing illiteracy.
Beneficiary Message
Despite my poor background, I performed well in National exams and was able to go to a good school and get a sponsor through the good foundation I got from the SIDAREC Early Childhood Development Program and Library. - David Kimeu

How's your heart?
Life comes at us fast, and sometimes so furiously that we forget why it's swirling around us.
God's purpose in life's stress, troubles, and tough times is plain, as Ron Moore explains in his first book, Ignite. He uses our unfulfilled dreams, unsatisfied longings, unknown futures, and unmet expectations to stoke a burning passion to follow Him with our whole hearts.
Using King David—whom God called "a man after [My] own heart" (1 Sam. 13:14, TNIV) but who had feet of clay—as the book's guide, Ron leads readers step-by-step along a spiritual journey to a heart ignited by grace.
By matching today's struggles with David's tumultuous life, Ron paints a vivid picture of God meeting His children wherever they are and using their loneliness, brokenness, disappointment, and emptiness to fan the flames of faith in their hearts.
Ron, whose ministry of 20 years is devoted to seeing lives changed by the Word of God, teaches a timeless message in Ignite: Man's extremity is God's opportunity . . . a lesson people need to hear now as never before.

[Verse 1]
You were my sun, you were my earth
But you didn't know all the ways I loved you, no
So you took a chance, made other plans
But I bet you didn't think that they would come crashing down, no
You don't have to say, what you did
I already know, I found out from him
Now there's just no chance
With you and me
There'll never be
Don't it make you sad about it?
You told me you love me
Why did you leave me all alone
Now you tell me you need me
When you call me on the phone
Girl I refuse
You must have me confused with some other guy
The bridges were burned
Now it's your turn, to cry
Cry me a river (x4)
[Verse 2]
You know that they say somethings are better left unsaid
It wasn't like you only talked to him
And you know it
(Don't act like you don't know it)
All of these things people told me
Keep messing with my head
Should've picked honesty
Then you may not have thought it
[Bridge & Hook]
The damage is done, so I guess I be leaving
Cry me a river
"Cry Me a River" is Justin Timberlake's second single fromhis debut studio album, Justified (2002).
It was inspired by Timberlake's former relationship with pop singer Britney Spears; Spears recorded an answer song titled "Everytime" for her 2003 studio album In the Zone.
In the video, Timberlake's character spies on his ex-lover and shows her the love for his new partner. Spears alleged that the video was a publicity stunt, but Timberlake maintained that she did not inspire the production. The clip won the awards for Best Male Video and Best Pop Video at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards.

Solace of the Road
by Siobhan Dowd
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I liked this book, but agree with one reviewer that it was hard to like the character of Holly. She was very selfish. It ended a bit differently than I expected, I kept thinking she'd find her mom but that she wouldn't want anything to do with her or they'd even start another life together. Liked all the different slang that UK kids use compared to Americans. Sad to hear this author died so soon, she was very good and will be visiting more of her work!
I was really looking forward to this book. I really liked the premise and I thought it would be something I could enjoy. I wasn't that impressed with it, though. I just couldn't bring myself to like Holly which made it hard to like the book in general. She really didn't come across as a nice person and I found it hard to sympathize with her. I could understand somewhat her reasons for the thoughts she had but it didn't make me find her interesting. Some parts of the book did make me a laugh a bit but overall it was pretty underwhelming. It was easy to read though and did keep me interested enough to read on to the end so it wasn't all bad.
I had a hard time getting into this books, while I could feel for Holly I couldn't get over the constant feeling of danger her roadtrip brought me. I was entirely to scared for her the entire time to enjoy reading her story. Young girls roaming around the UK with no money and no sense - eek!
"Solace of the Road" by Siobhan Dowd was a very enticing read. This story is about a 15-year-old girl on the run and her struggles through life. The story begins with a problem the main character faces and the rest of the book goes on to tell about the events that led her to it. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book because the author gave you a hint as to what was going to happen in the future. Each chapter revealed a little information each time, exposing the truths behind the character's past. This kept my attention and made me want to keep reading to find out the secrets. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys suspensful adventures.
Reviewed by Sally Kruger aka "Readingjunky" for TeensReadToo.com
Life has not been exactly fair to Holly. She has grown up in a series of group and foster homes surrounded by social workers who say they care, but it certainly doesn't feel like they do.
As the story begins, Holly is headed toward a new home. A childless couple arranges for a few test visits and then decide they are willing to offer Holly a place in their lives. It should be the answer to Holly's dream, but her sights are set on finding her Irish mam and not relying on the kindness of strangers.
Maybe it's the constant disappointments over the years and the repeated caregivers who have abandoned Holly. Whatever the reasons, she doesn't feel that she can go through it again. After a short stay with the new couple and one heated outburst, Holly decides it's time to leave.
She stumbles across a blond wig that adds several years to her own almost fifteen, and when she looks in the mirror, she reinvents herself with a new name - Solace. Solace has the courage and the calm attitude needed to strike out and find her mam.
The journey takes Solace (Holly) into a world of roadside diners, truck drivers, and adventure spiced with bits of humor and potential danger. She's a girl in search of her past and, hopefully, a future filled with a promise of real family and real love.
Siobhan Dowd, author of several other award-winning YA books, tragically died of cancer at age 47. SOLACE OF THE ROAD features her typical Irish flare with colorful characters leading less-than-perfect lives. She captures the loneliness and desperation of Solace as she searches for what most of us take for granted.
American readers may find SOLACE OF THE ROAD a challenging read due to its definite Irish/British dialect and tone, but once they are caught up in the story, they will find it a rewarding read. Dowd's exceptional talent will be missed.
Kirkus (Kirkus Reviews, September 1, 2009 (Vol. 77, No. 17))
Holly, a 15-year-old ward of the state, is placed with foster parents who, though they try very hard, can't break through the barrier she has constructed around herself, mostly to forget her early life with her uninterested mother. After she discovers a blond wig that seems to add years to her age, Holly hits the road, bravely reinventing herself as Solace, a young woman with an attitude. Her destination, across England and Wales, is Ireland, where her mother must surely be. Experiences along the way help her rediscover lost memories. Holly's character is fully developed and bright with a quirky humor. Holly's insights and observations are completely plausible, as is her voyage of discovery, described in lovely, pitch-perfect language. A last gift from Dowd.

While running away from a London foster home just before her fifteenth birthday, Holly has ample time to consider her years of residential care and her early life with her Irish mother, whom she is now trying to reach.

Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum Announces "Explore the Universe" Exhibition
Press Release
Wednesday March 14, 2001
Media Only:
Claire Brown 202-633-2371
Public information: 202-633-1000
National Air and Space Museum
The Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum will open "Explore the Universe" on Friday, Sept. 21. This permanent exhibition will present the major discoveries that have given us our current scientific view of the universe, illustrate how the universe is taking shape and probe the mysteries that remain.
When our view was limited to what the naked eye could see, the sky was our universe. Then telescopes deepened our view, photography enhanced it and spectroscopy broadened it. The universe grew from a sky of stars to a realm of galaxies to an ever-expanding frontier.
Encompassing an unprecedented array of artifacts representing the state of the art over the past 400 years, the exhibition will lay out the world's astronomical progress within its historical and technological context.
"Exploring the Universe" will be made up of five major sections covering the evolution of man's tools for searching the heavens:
- "Exploring the Universe with the Naked Eye" will examine our first, basic understandings of the universe. Featured artifacts will include Islamic astrolabes and a replica of the armillary sphere and portable mural quadrant used by Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe.
- "Exploring the Universe with Telescopes" will illustrate how the telescope revolutionized the way we see the universe. Featured artifacts will include the telescope tube through which William Herschel discovered thousands of nebulae and star clusters, leading him to postulate that other galaxies exist beyond our Milky Way.
- "Exploring the Universe with Photography" will show how photographs changed the way astronomers recorded the universe. Featured artifacts will include the camera used by Edwin Hubble in discovering other galaxies - which he determined were all moving away from each other.
- "Exploring the Universe with Spectroscopy" will demonstrate how the composition of light reveals histories within the universe. Featured artifacts will include an early spectrograph from the late 1800s and a 1912 letter from Albert Einstein discussing the warping of space by matter.
- "Exploring the Universe in the Digital Age" will explain how digital detectors and processors have enhanced the power of the earlier tools. Featured artifacts will include the "Z machine" that gathered data for the first 3-D map of the universe.
National Air and Space Museum Director Gen. John R. Dailey calls the upcoming exhibition "a must for anyone who has ever looked up at the stars and wondered, 'How many worlds are out there and where do we fit in?' "
"Explore the Universe" is made possible through the generous contributions of the National Science Foundation and TRW. Additional funding is provided by Corning Incorporated, Corning Foundation, NASA and the Smithsonian Institution Special Exhibitions Fund. Additional support is provided by Kodak Inc., Federal Express and Analytical Graphics.
The National Air and Space Museum, located at Sixth Street and Independence Avenue S.W., is open daily from 10 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. (Closed Christmas Day.) Admission is free.

Loud noises rose from the sides of the boat, the metal sides rattled like crazy and the noise was terribly loud. The boat shook wildly, I stumbled too and fro, Torrent and Omega were both on the ground trying to hold on to some sturdy poles. I reached for my pokeballs to return all my pokemon. As I went to return them the boat thrashed again. I tripped over Glaceon, and almost tumbled of the boat. Luckily Ambipom grabbed my leg with his tail. Unluckily my Pokedex flew out of my pocket and into the sea below. There was no time to think about that now. Omega and Torrent had returned their Pokemon and headed to the entrance of the inside area of the boat. There were many people around screaming, but I could make out them calling for me to come. I returned my pokemon and started to run towards the entrance. The boat now was shaking so much that I couldn't walk ten steps without almost tripping over something. As I was running the noise got louder. I was staring at Omega and Torrents faces which now looked very, very frightened. I slowly stopped and turned to see 5 Gyrados raise out of the water from behind the boat. They were huge, bigger than the normal Gyrados. But there standing on the top of the middle Gyrados was a man in Blue and Whie, withe a big A on his clothes...
I had totally forgot about Shaymin during all the commotion, it seemed to be lying uncocious on the other side of the boat, wherewe were originally sitting,I was about to send out Togekiss to retrieve Shaymin when the Gyrados started shooting water guns all over the ship, leaving some holes on the bottom of the boat......

Sergeant Ricardo Ramirez, squad leader, 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, watches the Fighting Fifth's offense during a football game here, Oct. 21, 2013. Ramirez lost his hand while deployed with 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines, in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Feb. 22, 2006. The injury caused Ramirez to switch from wide receiver to cornerback.

Holidays are special, whether it is a short weekend break in Orlando or a fortnight away. We at ebookers understand that. We understand that finding the best deal is as important as choosing the destination. This is why we have a range of fantastic deals and offers on Orlando holidays. You can choose to create your own Orlando holiday by selecting flights and accommodation separately or let us do the hard work and choose one of our packages instead. On ebookers you will find the best deals, packages and offers on hotels that are sure to save you money and make your Orlando holiday one to remember.
Located in Longwood—about 15 miles from downtown Orlando—Big Tree Park boasts one of the country's oldest trees. Scientists estimate that 'the Senator,' as the massive tree is nicknamed, is about 3,500 years old.
Entrance is free to the park, and while there, you can check out the area's natural marshlands. And don't forget to pack a lunch: Big Tree Park has picnic areas open to visitors.
Located in downtown Orlando, this 100-foot monument to the Tupperware Company's plastic food storage containers is constructed entirely of Tupperware bowls. Viewing is free.
Rent a paddleboat, take a gondola tour, or admire the splendid swans in this downtown Orlando Park. Check out what is playing at the Disney Amphitheater, or meander through the 43 acres of natural Florida beauty.
This giant zoo and entertainment park features exotic animals from different world regions, including Komodo dragons. The park has a number of rollercoaster rides through exotic locales: Expedition Everest takes you up into the Himalayan Mountains and Primeval Whirl through the land of the dinosaurs.
This lively boulevard in the Universal Orlando Resort features an exciting variety of shopping options, plus shows, restaurants, and nightlife.
Designed to be like Hollywood Boulevard in California, Universal CityWalk is packed to the brim with tourists at all hours of the day.
Walt Disney himself originally designed Epcot—or Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow—as a utopian, futuristic community, to start with 20,000 houses and expand from there. But the dream died with Walt Disney, and Epcot eventually opened as an educational theme park built with cultural edification in mind.
The park's two sections, World Showcase and Future World, educate guests on international cultures and space and technology, respectively. Check out the 11 pavilions that feature architecture from countries like Japan, Italy, and Morocco.
Hotels in Orlando are a dime a dozen, with everything from campgrounds and budget motels to luxurious resorts catering to tourists of all stripes.
The recently opened hotel Parc Soleil Suites by Hilton Grand Vacations Club is a Mediterranean-style resort, perfect for families, business associates, and young couples alike. You can swim up to the poolside bar and restaurant, relax in a luxury suite, or check out one of the many nearby championship golf courses.
Lake Buena Vista Resort hotel offers shuttle services to the nearby Walt Disney World Resort theme parks, including the Magic Kingdom and Epcot. Spend down time in the hotel pool, or organise a celebration or business function in its exquisite banquet hall.
For those who like to spread out a bit, the hotel Residence Inn by Marriot is a good bet. Choose between one- and two-bed suites, or upgrade to the two-floor penthouse suites. Those on a budget will enjoy their room's full kitchen and free Internet access. Pets are allowed.
The Doubletree Resort hotel sits on 28 acres of regional palms and native grasses, and provides free shuttle service to Walt Disney World and Universal theme parks, as well as SeaWorld. It is also located advantageously for business travellers who need easy access to the Orange County Convention Center.
Because of the city's sprawling design, Orlando car hire is likely to be an attractive option for many travellers. Driving in the city will give you the freedom to go between parks as you please, instead of having to rely on hotel shuttles and taxis.
It will also allow you to check out nearby golf courses and parks at your pleasure.
You can choose from a number of major companies—Budget, Hertz, and Alamo—that will have your car ready for you at Orlando International Airport when you arrive. Just be certain to book in advance to get the make and model you want.
Orlando has a number of reputable 24-hour taxi services that you can hire by calling directly or arranging through your hotel. Rates vary between companies, but expect an average of $3 to begin, and $2.50 for each additional mile.
Flat rates are available to and from the airport and to some major theme parks, and larger groups can hire limousines and luxurious town cars.
The city's I Ride trolley system was designed for tourist use, with two convenient lines travelling through Orlando's hotel and shopping hubs and certain theme parks.
Adult fare is $1.25, with kids age 12 and under riding free and seniors over 65 paying $.25. Exact change is required. Two dollars buys a fare on the Bus Lynx #50 between SeaWorld and Downtown Disney.
Many Orlando hotels offer free shuttle services to the region's major theme parks and destinations.
As an international tourist destination, Orlando is home to a wide variety of restaurants to accommodate every taste. Whether you are looking for haute cuisine or a place to grab a quick bite between roller coasters, you will never be out of options.
Located on downtown Orlando's main drag, Citrus (821 North Orange) serves fine American cuisine in an elegant ambience. Sample the Duck Tostados or the Blue Crab Cakes as an appetizer while sipping on a signature cocktail. Make sure to save room for one of the restaurant's famed seafood platters, like Florida Shrimp & Grits or Pomegranate Grazed Salmon.
Watch skilled Teppanyaki chefs prepare your meal at Shogun Japanese Steakhouse (6327 International Drive). Dine on beef and seafood options, or come early for the all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet.
At the White Wolf Café (1829 North Orange), diners can munch on healthy, Mediterranean and American-style dishes while admiring the vintage antiques that the restaurant has for sale. Located in the Bohemian district at the end of Orange Avenue, you can check out the more than 30 nearby boutiques after polishing off a Red Chile Salmon Burger or a Zesty Cool Shrimp & Avocado Salad. Vegetarians will be pleased with the meat-free options on the menu.
Conveniently situated in the "Downtown Disney" area, Wolfgang Puck Express is a counter-service restaurant that features delicious pizzas and sandwiches from the international gourmet chain. Outdoor seating and a children's menu are available.
Open since 1971, the Magic Kingdom is the crown jewel in the sprawling Walt Disney World Resort, and is presently the most visited amusement park in the world.
Interact with characters from Disney movies—Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Snow White, and Princess Jasmine—and check out famous theme rides like "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "It's A Small World".
For a bit of Americana, head to "Main Street, U.S.A.", designed to replicate the main drag of an early 20th century small town in America.
Thrill seekers can ride the park's hardcore roller coasters like "Space Mountain" and "Splash Mountain".
Located just outside of Orlando, this enormous aquatic zoo features sea life, live entertainment, water rides, and roller coasters.
The park's most famous attraction is Shamu Stadium, where killer whales (orcas) and their trainers put on a live performance every day.
Interact with bottlenose dolphins at the park's famous Dolphin Cove, or touch giant manta rays at Stingray Lagoon.
At Penguin Encounter, check out the park's multiple species of penguin in recreations of their natural habitat.
If you prefer to be entertained by human beings, you can see A'lure, a live acrobatics show at The Nautilus Theater.
This entertainment park features rides based on movies like Shrek, Revenge of the Mummy, and Men in Black. The ever-popular attraction "Twister…Ride It Out" employs special effects to recreate the feeling of being in a tornado!
You can also interact with dressed up characters like Jimmy Neutron, Homer Simpson, and Betty Boop.
For live music, check out "The Blues Brothers Live" and "Beetlejuice's Rock and Roll Graveyard Revue".
Orlando is home to 90+ championship golf courses. Dust off the ol' nine-iron at the exclusive Bay Hill Club and Lodge, host of the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
A more low-key option is a public course, like the Orange County National Golf Center and Lodge.
There are no compulsory vaccinations to visit the United States in general, but boosters for standard vaccinations are recommended for general health and safety. For people planning to stay for extended periods, a Hepatitis B vaccination is recommended as well.
The tap water is fine to drink in Orlando.
Assaults are infrequent in Orlando, but visitors should follow common sense precautions. Do not wander around alone at night, in poorly lit areas, or in neighbourhoods with which you are not familiar. Do not wear flashy jewellery or objects that may draw attention to you, such as MP3 devices or cell phones. Beware of offers from strangers who want to buy you food or a drink.
Another tip is to make a photocopy of all travel identification documents to keep with you in case you lose the originals or they are stolen. You can ask the concierge at your hotel about the potential of storing valuable items in a safe in your room or in the hotel itself.
When driving, make sure to obey the speed limit, as enforcement in the United States is stringent and fines for speeding can be steep.
While the state of Florida experiences frequent hurricanes, Orlando's location in the central part of the state protects it from the most severe damage. Still, if a hurricane does occur, contact your family or the British Consulate as soon as possible.

I used this amp to power an 8" bazooka tube. The thing sounds great! The crossover adjustments are easy to use and installation was just as easy. I like the remote bass boost knob too!

Posted by a Consumer on 02/14/141.0 out of 5.0This man is a liar and a thief. He quotes $5500 for a full divorce--through trial. Then when it came down to going to trial he wanted another $7500.

Clinton Delves Deeply into the Crime Issue President's Approach Balances Prevention and Punishment, but Policy Still Doesn't Match His `New Democrat' Rhetoric
Marshall Ingwerson, writer of The Christian Science Monitor, The Christian Science Monitor
THE crime bill nearing passage on Capitol Hill would put 100,000 more police officers on the streets, stiffen sentences, ban some assault weapons, and impose a five-day waiting period on handgun purchases.
President Clinton supports these steps. But the president's own public ruminations on the crime issue go much further, take in much more of the social disorder in American cities, and appear to contain some of his most heartfelt and eloquent concerns.
He takes the crime conversation to root causes, including lack of jobs, but he also raises subjects that liberal Democrats once did not permit each other to raise - especially the crisis of family and values in the black community.
His concerns are not yet matched by a program to do something about it. But he says that key members of his Cabinet are working on a set of proposals, to emerge in coming weeks, designed to mount an assault on violence and to support family and community structures in areas where the problems are concentrated. The Memphis speech
In one of his more acclaimed speeches, Mr. Clinton told a group of black ministers in Memphis on Nov. 13: "Unless we deal with the ravages of crime and drugs and violence, and unless we recognize that it's due to the breakdown of the family, the community, and the disappearance of jobs, and unless we say some of this cannot be done by government because we have to reach deep inside to the values, the spirit, the soul, and the truth of human nature, none of the other things we seek to do will ever take us where we need to go."
Clinton's discussion of the root causes of crime differs from the ideas held by liberals a generation ago, because Clinton points not just to causes lodged outside the black community but also to problems among blacks. "This is a `New Democrat' combination of personal responsibility and social responsibility," says Sheldon Danziger, a sociologist at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.
Clinton's recent remarks on crime, Dr. Danziger says, represent "a very thoughtful, balanced analysis of the academic research on urban poverty.
"These are consensus views these days," he adds, "of a thoughtful spectrum that runs from left of the mainstream to right of the mainstream."
"It's a sophisticated view that is a delight to see coming from a president," says Al Blumstein, a criminologist at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh.
But it is also a sophistication unmatched by much clear thinking in Washington about action, notes Francis Hartmann, director of criminal justice policy at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. …

I Install the game and when I run it closes the program and shows this message..... Thanks !!!!
I Install the game and when I run it closes the program and shows this message..... Thanks !!!!
Is this Call to Power 2 or Civilization - Call to Power?
If it is Civilization - Call to Power: try setting the Compatibility to Windows 98/ME. If this does not work, ask again in the CtP forum. The guys over there may know more.
If it is Call to Power 2, you may try the playtest release. With this version, we may find out more about why it crashes.
Sorry for my ignorance... I have windows XP, how can I set it to 98/ME?... and by the way it´s CALL TO POWER V1.2
Go to the directory where you have installed the game, and find the .exe-file. If it is named ctp2.exe, you have Call to Power 2, and it should work without the compatibility mode.
If it is named ctp.exe, you have Civilization - Call to Power. In this case, right-click on the file, and select Properties. Go to the Compatibility tab, and tick the first box ('Run this program in compatibility mode for:'). Then, select Windows 98/ME with the list box.
If it's Call To Power v1.2 then it should be CTP1 updated to v1.2. As far as I recall CTP2 latest official patch was 1.1. In CTP it's 1.2. However I've never seen this screen in CTP before and it runs smoothly in all versions of Windows XP.

USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program
Other ID: GS7903, Leg VII; GS 7903-7
Status: Completed
Organization(s): USGS, Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center
Funding Program(s):
Principal Investigator(s): Mahlon M. Ball, Richard E. Sylwester
Affiliate Investigator(s): Wayne Bock - Rosentiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, U. Miami
Information Specialist(s):
Data Type(s): Electro-Magnetic: Gravity, Electro-Magnetic: Magnetics, Seismics: Multichannel, Location-Elevation: Navigation
Scientific Purpose/Goals: Leg VII was planned to obtain gravity, magnetic and seismic reflection data over the Destin Anticline in the northern part of the MAFLA or western Florida Shelf region. These data would have increased our ability to assess the hydrocarbon potential of this huge, partially tested structure. Unfortunately, Hurricane David forced delay in departure and Hurricane Frederick stalled over the work area during scheduled cruise time. We availed ourselves of the University of Miami's entree into the interesting marine geologic problems in Florida-Bahamas waters to obtain geophysical data in Florida Straits, Santaren and Nicholas Channels, north of Cuba in the vicinity of Cay Sal, Bahamas.
Start Port/Location: Miami, FL
End Port/Location: Miami, FL
Start Date: 1979-09-11
End Date: 1979-09-16
Equipment Used: Multichannel seismics, LaCoste-Romberg gravimeter G-179, Varian V-75 magnetometer, Bell Aerospace BGM-3 gravimeter, Western Geophysical Integrated Navigation System
Information to be Derived: Morphology;
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Our measurements recorded 2 anticlinal structures with dip reversals spanning several kilometers. These structures are large enough to constitute possible hydrocarbons exploration targets and occur in water depths less than 500 m, which is within currently drillable depths. Gravity data: 550 km; Magnetic data: 400 km; Seismic reflection data: 7 lines, 550 km.

Ear candles is an ancient, mild and natural therapy which has been used by the Native American Indian for many years. The treatment is very gentle and relaxing. The candle, which is impregnated with extract of honey and herb oils is placed over the ear orifice and ignited. As it burns, it produces a gentle local heat. The warm air together with the combined oils and herbs soften the wax and draw it into the base of the candle. The candle is then removed and the ear and surrounding area is then massaged. The treatment is repeated on the other ear and then a complete facial massage is carried out, paying particular attention to the sinus areas.

International Society of Automation News Release

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, John Jay, will.i.am, Chef Homaro Cantu, Dean Kamen and Congressman Chaka Fattah Root for Robotics Matches as 12,000 Students from 32 Countries and Their Robots Compete in International Robotics Championship, 25-28 April
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, USA (14 May 2012) - Recently, 30,000 participants, fans, families, educators and industry leaders celebrated students' engineering and robotics prowess at the annual FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Championship, held in St. Louis, MO, USA at the Edward Jones Dome.
The International Society of Automation (ISA) and the Automation Federation, Alliance Partners of FIRST, joined the event to talk with kids and parents about careers in automation. ISA's St. Louis section and the Automation Federation hosted a display in the partner area of the "pits," where students and mentors worked together on last-minute updates and maintenance for their robots.
"For three days, I was in the middle of the largest hero-fest I've ever seen, with kids from all over the world exhibiting leadership, teamwork, technical knowledge, the thrill of victory and the graciousness of defeat, and through it all, inquiring minds trying to piece together what the future holds for them," said Automation Federation Government Relations Committee Chair Steve Huffman, vice president of marketing and business development at Mead O'Brien, Inc. "The FIRST Championships gave me a new look at our future and the young men and women who will be in charge of it. So often, we hear about how behind we are with respect to our ability to keep up with the rest of the world in technology and how we don't have enough people entering technical careers to fill the jobs and challenges advanced manufacturing presents us. These statistics don't lie, but oh what a joy it is to witness the momentum, motivation, direction and sense of critical thinking FIRSTgives these young people. I have seen the future and I love it!"
The FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC®)combines sports excitement with the rigors of science and technology. Under strict rules, limited resources and time limits, teams are challenged to fundraise, design a brand, exercise teamwork, build and program robots to perform tasks against competitors.
This year's FRC challenge was "Rebound RumbleSM," where matches are played between two alliances of three teams each. Each alliance competes by trying to score as many of the basketballs in the hoops as possible during the two-minute and 15-second match. Balls scored in higher hoops score teams more points. Team alliances are awarded bonus points if they are balanced on bridges at the end of the match.
Three teams from Stuart, FL, Mountain Home, AR and North Brunswick, NJ won the final showdown, earning the coveted FIRST Robotics Competition Championship Winning Alliance. Several other US and internationalFIRST student robotics teams earned honors for design excellence, competitive play, research, business plans, website design, teamwork and partnerships. A not-for-profit organization founded in 1989 by inventor Dean Kamen, FIRST strives to inspire young people's interest and participation in science and technology.
This year, will.i.am, pop superstar, was on hand to kick off the week-long event; he met teams, participated in a ceremony and took part in the new innovation competition, "Wouldn't It Be Cool If" sponsored by Time Warner Cable, a FIRST Strategic Sponsor. Major awards were presented by senior officials from the US Air Force, US Army, US Department of Energy, NASA, as well as executives from Autodesk, Boeing, General Motors, PTC, Microsoft, Google, Rockwell Automation and UL, among others.
More than 600 teams from 32 countries competed in the three levels of FIRST: FIRST LEGO® League (FLL®, grades 4 to 8, ages 9 to 14 in the US, Canada and Mexico; ages 9 to 16 outside the US, Canada and Mexico);FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC®, grades 9 to 12, ages 14 to 18); and FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC®,grades 9 to 12, ages 14 to 18). In addition, 40 teams of 6 to 9-year-olds participated in the Junior FIRSTLEGO® League (Jr.FLL®, grades K to 3), showcasing their science and technology smarts in the Jr. FLL World Festival Expo.

Click here for high resolution photo of the S.P.A.M. Robotics Team, one of the 2012 FRC World Championship winners. S.P.A.M.'s student-created website says the following about their FIRST experience:
"Any S.P.A.M. student will tell you that one of the most fun times in their life was at a robotics competition. Over the year, students constantly gain more pride for the team and this comes bursting out when competitions arrive. Students dress in Superman capes, trade buttons with thousands of other kids in attendance and scream at the top of their lungs when their robot is in action. Whether they win or not, S.P.A.M. is an amazing experience at competitions, which is the least they could ask for after months of hard work. The team pride continues in the off-season months as students show off their team shirts and buttons around school and meet up for volunteer events in their community. Based on these past achievements, S.P.A.M. plans to continue to build on this success. All it takes is a dedicated community, motivated students and generous sponsors."

Sample Tolerances
(Sampling Errors)
for Samples
of Different Sizes
The data in the following table can be used, under an assumption of simple random sampling, to calculate the confidence interval around estimates based on samples of different sizes. It is based on a sample that is evenly divided in two halves on a measure, that is, 50 percent each. This produces the maximum confidence interval. The confidence interval would be smaller for proportions that are more extreme or divided, say 80 percent to 20 percent, in an equivalent sample of the same size. These calculations also assume that the samples are drawn from a population of at least 10,000.
Suppose a survey based on a simple random sample of 1,500 respondents reports that 52 percent support Al Gore and 48 percent support George W. Bush. Using this table, you could conclude that 95 percent of the time, the proportion of people in the population who support Gore lies between 49.5 percent and 54.5 percent (52 percent ±2.5 percent).
It is important to remember that analysis of subsamples implies that a different row of the table must be referenced for the appropriate confidence interval. For example, the typical sample of adults in the United States would include about half male and half female respondents. So a sample of 1,500 respondents would consist of approximately 750 males and 750 females. While the confidence around an estimate of Gore support in the entire sample should be ±2.5 percentage points, for the subsample of either men or women, it would be ±3.6 percentage points.
