Fragaria Vesca Brut Nature | № 082-108
This variant is currently sold out
Wild Strawberry Sparkling Wine | Metsmaasikavahuvein
Brut Nature | 12% vol | 75cl
Fragaria Vesca is latin for wild strawberries. Brut Nature means extremely low and only natural residual sugar content below 3 g per liter (ie "brut" refers to up to 11 g respectively).
So Fragaria Vesca Brut Nature means that we managed to get hold of almost 400kg of hand picked wild strawberries from summer 2018, pressed them into juice, fermented into wine and got 300 bottles of sparkling wild strawberry wine. The wine is unique to say the least, therefore please forgive as the price - it's not easy nor cheap to buy wild strawberries in bulk.
While deliberately unfiltered, the wine is still clear and rich copper coloured. Despite almost no sugar, the wine has a balanced palate as the overall acidity is moderate. Almost sweet and clearly wild strawberry in the aroma, it tastes clear notes of caramel and bitter iron - in a good way of course. While there's no tradition in making wild strawberry wine, we consider it age-worthy so should you keep it, make sure you leave it upright somewhere dark and cool.
NB! Do not expect anything similar to Rabarba. It is quite the opposite.
Availability and pricing
Total 330 bottles made. Each of them numbered. Bottles 301-330 will be sold via tasting events and Nudist's pop-up bars. Bottles 001 to 300 are available to buy from our online store and winery. Price varies from 50€ to 100€ per bottle depending on the sequence number of the bottle. Prices are negotiable for purchases from 6 bottles.

The Kongsberg Maritime Ltd Camera group Systems & Projects Team has successfully delivered the first set of cabled IP Digital Still Camera Stations (CAMDS) to the University of Washington. The delivery is for the regional cabled observatory component of the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) program in the northeast Pacific Ocean off the West Coast of the United States of America. Further cabled systems are scheduled for delivery in the coming months to Oregon State University as part of the coastal Endurance Array component of the OOI program. The OOI is funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation.
Designed for real-time imaging via the cabled observatory's Internet connection, the regional CAMDS systems will be deployed as part of the OOI at methane seep and hydrothermal vent sites deep in the ocean where they will remain for one year. They will capture images of the evolving vents and the bacterial and animal life that grows around them. The coastal Endurance CAMDS systems will be deployed on the seafloor in cabled benthic packages on the continental slope and shelf off the coast of Oregon, to image the sediment surface in sufficient detail to identify swimming and crawling organisms, observe changes in physical bedforms, and detect tracks and trails made by mobile fauna.
Each system consists of a High Definition Digital Stills Camera mounted onto a Pan & Tilt Unit. Also included are LED Lamps, a Dual Laser Reference Unit, Junction Box & frame work. All components including the connectors are made of titanium so the unit can be deployed at a depth of up to 3000 meters for up to a year without maintenance. The system can be fully controlled over Ethernet and is capable of live streaming images as well as storing them locally on board the camera or over network drives. The lasers are provided to allow measurement reference and will appear in the camera field of view. Warm white LED lamps are separated by a 1m frame to reduce backscatter. The whole payload is mounted on a P&T unit so the user can point the camera at desired targets, and a subsea junction box for power control is attached directly to the P&T unit to simplify mounting and operation.

This is our collection of links to Klamath folktales and traditional stories that can be read online. We have indexed our Native American legend section by tribe to make them easier to locate; however, variants on the same legend are often told by American Indians from different tribes, especially if those tribes are kinfolk or neighbors to each other. In particular, though these legends come from the Klamath, the traditional stories of related tribes like the Shasta and Northern Paiute tribes are very similar.

Love Spell, Apr 2008, $6.99
In 1820 it was obviously a magical mistake as she loves her relative, but turning her uncle's house blue on top of changing the foundation into shaky giant chicken legs leads to Miss Amelia Bourne losing her powers and being exiled to London for the season. She meets several nice young men, but Amelia finds Sebastian "Fox" Stapleton too haughty of a rake. Both act polite towards one another, but each dislikes the other until they drink the spiked punch. Suddenly Fox and Amelia need one another with a deep passion.
They journey to his country estate, but Amy wonders why she went from total loathing to animalistic desire on one sip. She decides to check whether this is love or an illusion. As she investigates without her magic to help her, Amy relies on her knowledge and lore of the arts and her belief that Sebastian is honorable even if he thinks he is god's gift to women, which she agrees he has a solid argument. However, a devious person has use for Miss Amelia as an expendable pawn in a revenge scheme while not wanting her to know the truth.
This is a fun often amusing Regency romantic fantasy in which spells go wrong leading to romance and love. The story line is lighthearted yet allows the audience to believe in a paranormal early nineteenth century London in which at least in the Schwab universe, magic works though not always for the good. Fans will be BEWITCHED by this enchanting charmer.

A beginner shape puzzle.
Does your child like to sing and dance? With this wood knob shape puzzle he or she will kick up a storm with this "fruity quartet" wooden puzzle.
For parents, grandparents and friends of young toddlers looking for high quality, locally made, and fully-guaranteed childrens puzzles.
8 pieces. A great puzzle for a young child in need of a safe beginner puzzle.
Posted by Jen T on 29th Sep 2015
I purchased this puzzle for my nephew's 1st birthday last year. It was shipped so quickly (I ordered on a Monday and it was at my house by Friday) and the transaction felt quite personal with notes and emails from the people who make these puzzles. My nephew loved it, and his parents even said that he thought it was so cute it should be hung on the wall! I bought the same puzzle again recently for another nephews' birthday and cannot wait to give it. Very highly recommend this puzzle and this company!

Fat Tuesday. Cool name for a feast day.
Tuesday is such a boring day, so it's only right it should get one of the great feast days of the year. A time for carnival in Rio, or masquerade in Venice. A time for feasting, debauchery and gluttony, counterpointed by the sackcloth and ashes penitence of Ash Wednesday.
You have to admit, the church gets these events right. Be impressed by the foresight of our forefathers in allowing the proletariat their evening of gluttony and feasting, exacerbating the guilt of the flock and consequent penance in the harsh light of Ash Wednesday. In payment for the monumental hangover, the faithful pledge penance, poverty and piousness – for 40 days (actually, not to be pedantic, but the period of Lent is 44 days – so we'll chalk that down to inflation over the ages).
The church has this feast and famine act down pat. Take Hallowe'en, the night of ghosties and ghoulies, and candy crunching chaos, smashed into submission by the holiness of All Saints Day mere hours later. But Fat Tuesday, then 6 weeks of fasting, polished off with the Feast of the Chocolate Bunny? Well that's just event planning brilliance.
So, never one to shoot for half measures, I'm in for the feast, so I'm in for the famine. At least, the token famine. You don't expect me to go all out for the whole desert solitude in this day and age? lthough – looking out the window at the negative 16 Celsius snowstorm this morning, 40 days in the desert would be a welcome diversion right now.
So, without fear or trepidation I decided to plunge myself into the whole Lent thingy. Only one problem – what can I can live without for 40 days?
So, what are my choices? It seems there are a few rules, so be sure to choose the right Creed. Choose wisely! If not you might find your choice made for you. Your creed of choice may require abstinence from food that gives pleasure (personally, I've never been pleasured by food. I may have pleasured with food, but that's a whole other story for a whole other blog). Also, we should be grateful not to be living in the Middle Ages. Then meat, eggs and dairy products would be forbidden. Apparently, these foods provided greater nourishment, which leads to a 'greater surplus available for seminal matter, which when abundant becomes a great incentive for lust' Ah, that's what causes it. I never realised it was the T-bone that gave rise to my bone – explains a lot! So maybe I have been pleasured by food?
But for most of us, we are free to give up whatever vice we may choose, be it edible or otherwise. However a little pre-planning here would have been useful. I find myself woefully vice free. Prescience would have seen me take up any number of vices to be then discarded with the ease of a tart losing her knickers. However, without such foresight I'm faced with having to suspend participation in something I actually enjoy.
One option would be to forego physical pleasure. If I use the Clinton interpretation I could possibly achieve this. I find myself in that particular desert an occasion, AKA 'The Doghouse' (as distinct from the Cathouse, which would inevitably give rise to an extended and possibly permanent period of abstinence from ANY form of physical pleasure, once Dearly Beloved became aware). Although, this level of sacrifice in penance for a pancake does seem somewhat extreme. Had I spent Mardi Gras in Rio, 6 weeks of abstinence might be warranted, but a month and a half frolic free for a flipped, fried feast of beaten eggs, flour and milk? A little extreme.
So where does that leave me? If I'm giving something up, surely I should benefit too? With the Summer Season fast approaching (I wish) there's need to give up 10lbs of lard I've been storing as a safeguard against the frigidness. Time to cast that off and reveal my honed and toned physique. So, my choice is to combine diet and fast, sweet and savoury, sugar and spice, and everything nice. Oh no, maybe I've bitten off too much? And now there's none at all.

Toys, Toys, and more Toys – but barely a LEGO in sight.
My wife and I had the pleasure of attending the 29th Annual Tucson Collectible Toy Show and Sale today in Tucson, Az; and while we had a great time visiting with friends, fellow attendees and vendors, the show definitely was not the 'in scene' for LEGO fans.
It is important to note that this toy show and sale is presented by the Tucson Miniature Auto Club, whose primary focus is the collecting and enjoyment of die-cast autos, so it is only natural that their annual toy show and sale be dominated by die-cast cars of all shapes, sizes and varieties. And since my wife is an avid fan and collector of all things Catwoman'ly and I collect die-cast cars along with being a LEGO fan, we found more than enough vendors with items on display for us to admire and to buy. It wasn't all doom and gloom though, I did pickup a small assortment of LEGO minifigs at a good price along with some Hot Wheels, Johnny Lightnings and Matchbox cars.
This annual, one-day toy show and sale, is billed at the largest toy show in the Southwest, with 500 vendors tables covering a wide range of collectibles; from toy cars, comics, action figures, video games and even a few LEGO here and there; and is worth the trip if you are into collecting more than LEGO. Personally, I also like the fact that it is not a killer multi-day, marathon event that takes up a whole weekend – it's a once-a-year, one-and-done event which is nice.
Overall, it's a great show – just don't go for the LEGO.
I did see one unique LEGO item of special interest as you can see in the featured image at the top of this post and below.
It's billed as "The shade to a prototype LEGO lamp made by LEGO"; however I have no idea what it is 😛

Classical Civilisation
AS/A2 Classical Civilisation
This varied course gives students an appreciation and understanding of the origins of western literature, drama, art, architecture and politics, whilst fostering analytical skills and an intellectual flexibility that is vital in the modern workplace.
The course is supported through trips to ancient sites, drama performances and seminars. Students need not have studied Classical Civilisation at GCSE. There are three modules; the first of which is epic poetry, where pupils study Homer's Odyssey, the tale of how the Greek hero Odysseus encountered gods, witches, monsters and skulduggery in his attempt to return home from Troy and the Roman epic the Aeneid, in which, with poetic beauty, Virgil raises questions about the nature of love, war, destiny, duty and heroism, whilst giving us an insight into the political realities of his day. Pupils also study Greek theatre, looking at the both the comic and tragic traditions, as well as how the plays were staged and the theatres used. The final unit is Greek religion, where pupils will study the complex and intricate nature of the Greek belief system, looking at gods, priesthoods and festivals, as well as how religion touched open every aspect of life.
Higher Education and beyond
Classical Civilisation is a very stimulating course, which can be combined at either level with any other subject. Most importantly it will enrich your understanding of a wide range of disciplines, broadening your education and career options for the future. Students in the past have found their study of Classical Civilisation relevant to a wide range of subjects at university, including Law, History, Art, Classics, Theatre Studies, History of Art, English, Politics, Economics and Languages.

How and where to forage for nettles
Foraging expert Fraser Christian shows you how to turn weeds into nutritious food.
The common nettle, or 'stinger' as it's best known, is a powerful and much underestimated part of the wild food chain. Despised by many for its painful sting and ability to spread in vegetable gardens, the nettle is far superior in nutritional value to many veg that grow in its cleared space and is an excellent source of vitamin C and iron.
Medicinally, it is beneficial in more ways than we fully understand – a true legend of a plant. One amazing use is as preventative antihistamine, which if taken steadily from very early spring will be most effective against allergies such as hay fever.
If you're a gardener, next time you pull out nettles (if you don't eat them) fill a bucket with them, top up with water and leave for a week or so (in a well-ventilated area). The result is a rather smelly dark liquid packed with nitrogen compounds that makes a free and most excellent plant food.
Don't worry if you do sting yourself slightly, especially if you suffer from stiff joints, as it can be beneficial. The stinging contains neurotransmitters that wake up the mind via the nervous system as to a localised problem – most effective for providing relief for stiff joints and aching muscles.
Where you'll find it
The nettle is a highly successful plant found all over the temperate areas of the world. It spreads by means of seeds and underground rhizomes that creep around just under the surface of the soil. It prefers rich soils and therefore does well around human settlements, benefiting from the waste we produce, often indicating where old settlements have long since disappeared from the countryside. Later in the summer months dark, shadowy glades and tracks will offer young pale plants, ideal for eating.
How to identify it
The jagged leaves held in pairs along the square stems are easily recognisable, particularly after having experienced the sting! The plant can range from 60cm to over 2 metres in height, and can be found in a number of different habitats and soil types. There are many varieties of different nettles and I am no expert at recognising all of them. Once again, if you're unsure of a positive ID then leave it alone. Luckily most people can recognise a stinging nettle – it's just a shame they don't all know how great and useful they are!
How to forage it
Carefully pick the top four leaves of each plant in early spring, when the nettle is at its best – all the plant's energy, which we are after, is at its growing points. As with all wild food, try to collect away from roads and areas of possible man-made poisons and ground contamination. If you want to dry and store the nettles, pick them during a dry period after a good downpour. You can wear gardening gloves if you don't like the idea of being stung.
What you can do with it
Nettles can be regarded as a leaf vegetable, once the sting has been neutralised. This is done by means of blanching or boiling, whereby the stinging parts – the formic acid and other constituents – are broken down. Use it as you would spinach, in an Indian sag aloo curry, for instance, or simply steep the leaves in boiling water to make an excellent tea.
The nettles are best at the tips and in early spring they are supercharged with all things good. Collected leaf tips can be gently dried and stored for use throughout the year. The uses for nettles are far reaching: even cordage or twine can be made from the striped and twisted section of the stalks.
Wild Forage
Wild Forage organises wild food and foraging courses along the seashore and in the countryside. Courses are run for small groups anywhere in the UK, plus individual courses in most southern counties. You can learn how to correctly identify and cook wild foods, as well as discover their medicinal and cosmetic qualities. For more info, visit www.wildforage.co.uk

Frequently Asked Questions Crop and Livestock Insurance
Q: What is a crop insurance cover?
A: Crop insurance is purchased by agricultural producers, including farmers, ranchers, and others to protect themselves against either the loss of their crops due to natural disasters, such as hail, drought, and floods, or the loss of revenue due to declines in the prices of agricultural commodities.
Q: Do I need crop insurance?
A: Buying a crop insurance policy is one way to protect yourself against loss of your farming investments, as well as manage risks such as drought, flooding, pests and diseases. However, good agricultural practices are still required in the farm in order to get the expected yields.
Q: How much does it cost?
A: We have a team of actuaries who calculate premiums depending on the risks a farmer wishes to cover. Our replanting guarantee cover however does not cost the farmer anything. It only requires the farmer to buy the seeds and register for insurance.
Q: What is covered in the event of natural disasters?
A: Farmers can take a cover against undesirable weather events such as delayed rains, drought and excess rainfall which causes production loses.
Q: How do I go about insuring my crops?
A: Applying for an insurance cover is very easy. Farmers should apply for a cover before planting. You will not need to make a physical presence to ACRE Africa offices; you will only need to provide us with your physical location, acreage and the risks you would like to cover. ACRE Africa staff will be present to answer all your questions. You will then pay a premium to the insurance company. In the event of loss, you will be covered and compensated.
Q: If no loss happens, will I get my premium payment back?
A: In case of loss, you will not get your premium back.
Q: What is index insurance?
A: Index insurance is a relatively new but innovative approach to insurance provision that pays out benefits on the basis of a predetermined index (e.g. rainfall level) for loss of assets and investments, resulting from weather and catastrophic events, without requiring the traditional services of insurance claims assessors. It also allows for the claims settlement processes to be quicker and more objective.

The face of this portrait bust is finished, and now I just have to sculpt the hair– no easy task for a man whose hairstyling experience is limited to 30 seconds with a comb in the morning.

'We Don't Kill Easy'30 Apr
Rash mold-making shortcuts left me with a gooey mess of uncured silicone. In utter despair, I tossed the mold, original stuck firmly inside, out in the yard. After a few rainy nights and warm days, I was going to throw it in the trash when, miraculously, the original popped out. I poured some Rockite into the tatterdemalion mold, and got THIS! With luck, this un-dead mold will now produce 60 or more copies just like this one, which proudly bears the title "SFb001", destined to go down in Kenny Smillie history as The Sun Face That Didn't Kill Easy.

Finished Pieces25 Jul
Begun as much as two months ago, these pieces have finally been shepherded through the long obstacle course of fussy little processes leading to finished work ready to hang outdoors in a garden. As luck would have it, some friends are having a garage sale Saturday. Maybe I'll lay these out and see what happens. I'm particularly pleased with the accidental translucent flame effect on the brown one when the opacity of the yellow pigment just couldn't hold up against the darker value of the background. Reminds me of the Bob Ross baby talk: "We don't make mistakes. We just have happy accidents"

Summer/Spring Globe Face17 Jul
Totally finished, this new globe face gives me all kinds of ideas for garden art: seasonal groupings. Candle lamps for all seasons, not just Halloween. Why not make groupings of four? Maybe they could tie in with my plant pots. Now I have more than enough ideas to fill every minute of clay time until the art shows next spring. I can hardly wait to get my hands back no the clay.

If anyone has any suggestions for what I can use for this that I don't have to fiddle too much with to make it work that would be great.

Imagine falling in love with someone who changes bodies everyday. Now imagine this someone is actually a disembodied spirit. This happens in Michael Sucsy's Every Day, which proposes that who (or what) we love is more than just skin deep attraction.
Rhiannon (Angourie Rice) is a shy teenager who crosses paths with a disembodied spirit for the first time when it enters the body of her otherwise aloof boyfriend, Justin (Justice Smith). After spending a fun day together, she finds herself telling him personal things, all the while thinking she's confiding to her boyfriend. As events progress, we learn this being, who calls itself "A", changes bodies every day, but can only inhabit a particular body for 24 hours.
Over the course of the film, "A" inhabits fifteen different people, whose feelings for Rhiannon continue to blossom until neither one can deny they're actually in love. The question then becomes the obvious – how does a relationship like this last?

You do not see things as they are; you see them as you are. ~Michael Michalko
We assign meaning to experiences by the way we choose to interpret them. And this is tricky because our perceptions are often not accurate.
I assigned meaning, calling something great, good, scary or awful, often by where I am attached. But God….But God always has a plan for His servants that we may not know about. I need to ask God to give me His perception of the situation, not my own.
Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves
me. All day long I put my hope in you. ~ Psalm 25:5
Michalko offeres and example from IBM and Thomas Edison. IBM's research and development department observed that no one in the world used a personal computer. They interpreted this to mean there was no market and shared this viewpoint with upper management. At the same time, college dropouts, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, looked at the same absence of personal computers and saw a massive opportunity. IBM never gained a significant market share in personal computers.
Once Thomas Edison was approached by his assistant while he worked on perfecting the filament portion for the light bulb. Edison's assistant asked why he didn't give up on the arduous process. "After all," the assistant said, "you have failed 5000 times." Edison looked at him and questioned what the assistant meant by failure. Approaching the filament dilemma, Edison said, "I have discovered 5000 things that don't work."
For me, the equation becomes: R=IE2–> Reality equals interpretation from past experiences squared.
Often, I construct our own reality by how I choose to interpret my experiences. If there have been a string of bad, untrustworthy experiences, my lens will reflect that. If there have been a string of trusting, kind experiences, my lens will reflect that.
Michalko advises, "Approach a problem on its own terms. Do not trust your first perspective of a problem as it will be too biased toward your usual way of thinking. Always look at your problem from multiple perspectives." Gently click here to read more of Michalko's ideas.
Lately, I 've been a tarbaby stuck in rejection's grip, the result of too many untrustworthy people who use(d) blame as a weapon.
Until I am grouded in knowing, really knowing God's love and acceptance of me, I tend to look at challenges as problems with a hidden rejection lens. I see rejection where it may not be. This is where gratitude and a cadre of friends who love God and want His best for me keeps me surrounded by the truth until I am strong enough to see it from Him first. I continue to ask God to show me clearly His perception of events in my life so I don't lean on my understanding.
It's so important to
surround yourself with the right kinds of people when you
are striving to live a meaningful life. We can not always choose whom we walk
with on our paths in life, but whenever we can, it makes everything easier, more
joyful, and so much more productive when we choose to spend our days with people
who bring out the best in us, see the best in us, and believe the best about us.
Seek out the kinds of people who make you want to become a better person,
the kinds of people who are focusing on positive and good things in life.

Is it 13? seventy times seven? 686?
The speaker at church said that Love is mentioned over 686 times in the Bible, beginning in the Old Testament and covering over all until the end of the New Testament. Jesus' love covers our sins. Love covers us like a roof with plenty of overhang.
"Love bears all things — stego in the Greek of 1 Corinthians 13 — literally a thatch roof, a roof taking the rain and the wind and all that comes beating. Love's a roof that absorbs all that would damage." ~Ann Voskamp
Love is a roof that absorbs the storms.
Love bears all things – like a roof bears the wind and the rain. Love willingly carries one another's burdens – like a roof bears the burden of the snow and the beating sun. Love bends and enfolds itself around another like a roof. This is love. ~Ann Voskamp
It took 284 roofing shingles to cover my house and protect it from the outside. The contractor bought extra. "For goofs," he said. They are in the garage now, waiting for goofs, I suppose.
It takes 365 days to cover a year.
And love's roof has 686 reminders…
Would we be that reminder for someone today?

Faith is not believing in a false promise of prosperity, but in the abiding presence of Christ.
In this life, you've got to write it down sometimes to remember what you believe — not just in frosting, but on hearts. We believe that God has got it. All of it. This is not just a theological catch-phrase, but an actual way to habitually remember that there is a King in Heaven who holds all things together — even when life isn't a piece of cake.
And we repeat it to ourselves, on the hot and cloudless days, and when the diagnoses come, and when we've gathered in hospice rooms, and over hospital beds, and in ugly days of wild uncertainty. It's true: What we say to ourselves, and to one another, can determine whether we will live imprisoned or free. Because dark days will come. In this world we will have trouble, but what did Jesus say? "Take heart, for I have overcome the world." ~Jennifer Dukes Lee
Perhaps today is the perfect day to take five and read "When Life Isn't A Piece of Cake, God Has Still Got It" and "Faith, Miracles and Modern-Day Fools" both posts by Jennifer Dukes Lee

You may think that taking a detour in life is a waste of time and energy, but you can also see the detour as a means of learning more about who you are and where you are heading in your life. Being off the beaten path may be disorienting and confusing at times, yet it challenges your creative spirit to discover new ways to build a stronger YOU. In the end, it's usually the tough situations that feel like your tomb that actually become your cocoon. Hang in there. You're coming out of this stronger and wiser. via: www.marcandangel.com

Consider a creative break this weekend.
Create a spine poem. Spine poems are word-filled expressions connected by the titles of books as seen on their spines.
Survey your books. Gather them. Arrange them. Express a tiny poem with them.
It's fun. A mini vacation.
Here is my humble attempt but there are glorious examples at this link and this one.
The second link I found, in splendid synchronicity, is for a spine poetry content at LibraryThing.
Happiness Is
Eternal Echoes
Forward From Here
On the blue shore of silence
The band that played on

Look Homeward, Angel

Now I do not exactly remember where and how I started my journey down this rabbit hole. But the deeper I went the more interesting it became. It was a great learning experience. I'm clearly not an expert. Here I share the understanding I developed of the spider eye over the few hours of exploration. For this I referred to various sources all of which are mentioned in the links. And if you know more or would like to add something interesting to the article please let me know in the comments below.
The first thing about spider eyes is that 99% of spiders have 8 eyes. A little less than 1% of them have 6 eyes. In some fringe species there are 4, 2 or no eyes at all. Apparently, based on the pattern these eyes are arranged in, on their cephalothorax (let us mortals call it the 'head' to make things simple), the family to which the spider belongs can be determined. Some blessed human, made the following schematic to help us do exactly that. In case you ever feel the need to do so, here it is:
And in much greater detail, right here.
For their small size and the limited number of photocells, spider eyes, especially the jumping spider's (Salticids) eyes perform surprisingly well. Their resolution is better compared with larger mammals than with insects. In the human world a camera of such standards this would simply be an engineering miracle. You will understand why I say that soon…
In the image above if you locate the family Salticidae, you will see those two large eye in the front which are particularly very interesting. These are called the principal eyes (or anterior median eyes) and are the ones that allow high resolution vision. So much that the spider would be able to resolve two spots on a screen 20 cm away from the spider, sitting just 0.12 mm apart from each other. An acuity of about ten times that of a dragonfly – 0.04°.
The brain of this spider, show in blue in the image below is pretty big for its size. The proportion of the volume of brain to body is more or less similar to that of human beings. The brain of Salticids also have a rather large region dedicated for visual processing.
The principal eyes we are talking about are in the shape of elongated tubes as seen below, in the front of which is a hard lens and at the other end is a layer of photocells. Inside the tube, near the retina is another little lens which moves back and forth along the tube like a telephoto lens system. These elongated tubes are like the tubes of a binocular which allow for a higher resolution using a small package.
However the downside of such a tube like architecture is that it limits the field of vision. Here's how that problem is dealt with.
The front part, with the big corneal lens is fixed. It has a long fixed focal length. The farther end where the retina is located, is connected to these muscles shown in red. These muscles allow for the tube's farther end to move around in several degrees of freedom to make quick movements and scan a larger image in its head, one small field of view at a time.
In the video below you can see the retinal end of the black tubes moving around inside the translucent exoskeleton of the spider as the spider forms a high resolution complete image of its surroundings, one small field of view at a time.
If you peer deep into their eyes you will see a dark (black) when you are looking into the small retina. However when the farther end of the tube moves, you see a honey brown color with spots. This is the inner wall of the tube that you are seeing in the following video.
Then the retina itself is another biological marvel. Unlike our single layered retina, the Salticid's retina is made up of four layers. The four layers are arranged one behind the other. This lets the nature pack more photocells in a smaller area and also helps the spider see in color as different colors (different wavelengths) with different refractive indices are focused in different planes.
Counting from the rear end, the spider uses different layers of retina to obtain different colors of the image. The retina's layer 1 and 2 to get the green color (~580 nm – 520 nm wavelengths), blue color using the layer 3 (~480 – 500 nm wavelengths) and layer 4 for ultraviolet (~360 nm).
An important detail in the above image reveals how spiders manage to keep focus on different objects at different depths, in focus. The layer one has photocells arranged in a step fashion, with varying distance from the lens which makes sure that all objects are focused on at least one part of the layer 1.
The other problem of distance estimation which matters a lot for jumping spiders is again solved rather elegantly by the same apparatus. Humans use their stereo vision – two eyes which are far apart to estimate distance. Other animals move heads to do the same but I'm not getting into that.
Jumping spiders employ a completely different algorithm, utilizing degree of blur cues. For which the second layer plays a crucial role. The second layer would have received a sharp blue image, but they are not sensitive to blue light like I mentioned above. The green they detect is rather blurred at that plane. It turns out that the amount of blur depends on the distance of the object and helps the spider determine the depth by processing the amount of blur in the image. Hence allowing it to jump and hunt accurately.
If you are a university student with free access to journals, I think a quick look at the paper titled: "'Eight-legged cats' and how they see – a review of recent research on jumping spiders," will help you delve into greater detail.
Psst: Someone has it uploaded on research gate for free access for I don't know how long: here.
Please leave a comment below to let me know your thoughts on this, or if you have any ideas for future posts. I plan to reward the top commentators every month so do not forget to say something.

A man in the wrong line of work
New York Man Arrested for Posing as Doctor and Convincing People To Given Themselves Rectal Examinations
New York police have arrested construction worker, John Brady, 49, in a rather odd crime. Brady is accused of calling people and posing as a doctor. He would then convinced them to give themselves a rectal examination while he was on the telephone. He has been charged with second-degree aggravated harassment.
Brady was finally apprehended after a 34-year-old woman became suspicious after giving herself a rectal examination when she realized later that Brady "did not represent a medical establishment." She then called police. [...]
It is unclear why Brady is in construction and not telemarketing.

So a little behind here on #sundayfunday challenge but that is okay because the goal is just to #pushsend.
I will be teaching geometry honors and algebra 2 studies (Learners who have struggled). In geometry I will be doing the same activity to build up a need for geometry vocab I have done before which you can read here. I will also be using my school fever activity that I have used before and you can read about that one here.
I have decided to try and get out of my comfort zone a little and instead of just reviewing how to plot coordinate points with my algebra 2 students, I thought it might be great to try and incorporate some sort of desmos activity instead. I am hoping that this will excite them instead of bore them to death on the first day of class. Students will be using the mini-golf coordinate activity with a few extra slides that I have added/modified at the beginning and at the end to lead some discussion about scatterplots. After being at #tmc17 and being involved in #desmoscamp I really love the idea of pausing and being able to restrict parts of the activity. This will be my first time trying all of this out on a new group of students day 1 but I am thinking it will lead to great success! If you want to see what it looks like and try it out then go here.
Regardless of what you are doing, I encourage you to think of ways to try and take a risk and go for something new. This has made me even more excited for the start of the year!

The Saint
Wayne Mckewen shaped my first custom Mt Woodgee board when I was 11 years old and I surfed it the next day at the under 14's Gold Coast Titles. I won the comp and I've been surfing them ever since.
Mt Woodgee have carried me through the Junior series, the WQS and now the WSL. The boards are absolutely awesome, working excellently in all conditions, from one foot to 12-foot Sunset. Every time I'm back home on the Gold Coast, I spend a heap of time hanging around the Woodgee factory with all the crew.
Nick has been running the show for years and has continued to keep the down to earth vibe intact. I reckon that vibe has got a lot to do with why the boards are so superb to ride and so brilliantly finished. Mt Woodgee are way more than my surfboard sponsor, they are part of my family.

I contracted with them to remove rats out of my attic the day after my attic was cleaner and all insulation was removed. Now I signed up to keep rats out of my attic, but last time they came out they didn't go into the attic. If they don't inspect the attic -the only place we have had a problem-how will I catch the problem soon enough? Clean Crawls who recommended them said they need to check the attic on every visit. The kid that came out was rude and said, "don't listen to Clean Crawls, we own them, listen to us. We don't need to go up in the attic".

Joseph called me several minutes before his appointed time and told me he would be about 15 minutes late. No problem. When he arrived he explained to me what he was going to be doing and proceeded to complete the task. He took pictures of some minor issues that he already took care of. He left traps in the crawl space as he had found one small mouse. He will be returning in the coming week for results at which time we will discuss any further action. Joseph has a very friendly and helpful attitude and left the property in better condition than when he first appeared. He is commited to provideng excellent service. I'm pleased so far!!

Hello all, i'm new to the website. I've been registered for a short time. I purchased a used roper whitney model 58 punch press and i'm now looking for owner/user/parts manuals for it. I also just purchased a barely used used roper whitney pexto model 125 25" bench shear. I am looking for owner/user/parts manuals for that unit as well.
The operation of the punch press appears straight forward, foot operated. I do not know how fast of action is required for the cycle. Im punching oblong holes, .750"x 1.00" and .400"x.750" into .050" 3003 aluminum. Is the actual action a fast deliberate punch or a slower steady action?
Any operational information or advice is greatly apreciated.

Top Model that won't starve herself: Ali Stephens
Posted in Fashion news, tagged Alexander McQueen, ali staphens, ali stephens, anorexia, Designer, European models, fashion blog, model, models, new york magazine, nymag, skinny, skinny models, starve, starve model, the cut, Vogue on February 15, 2010| Leave a Comment »
In an interview with New York Magazine Ali Stephens talked about the ridiculous demands by designers. She told them the late Alexander McQueen wasn't a designer who'd be rude or unpleasant.
Ali Stephens told NYMag that it actually happens a lot that you can be kicked out of a show for not fitting in a dress. "I'm not the typical skinny — I have hips. I love my body but I'm not one of the girls willing to starve themselves for fashion, so I do what shows I can but I don't, pressure myself to fit into the sample sizes."
She was hesitant to admit that European shows demanded skinnier models. "No, it's true. It is. It makes no sense to hide it," she said. "You have to speak out about it. Europe is definitely, I think, skinnier. But it all just really depends on the designer and their aesthetic, which I respect. So I understand if I'm not somebody's ideal. You know, so whatever works for them. But it's always important to remember that models are humans. We're not just ghosts."
Go Ali!
