In the days when colour printing was extremely expensive, the Avicultural Society had special appeals for funds to support the appearance in Avicultural Magazine of the occasional colour plate. A well-known bird artist was then commissioned. Although the whole run of the Society’s magazines can be found online, the plates rarely see the light of day. Therefore I decided to show one, now and again, on this site. This is the 23rd in the series.– – – – – – – – – –The plate seems to be unsigned and there is no mention of the artist in the text.The…

Dear friends, There’s a New Moon on Friday, and a New Moon Manifestation Circle webinar coming Saturday evening. Normally, I try to do the class prior to the astronomical event, but I’m fighting off a cold today and will be busy the next couple of nights. So, Saturday! The Sun and Moon are scheduled to meet up this Friday, December 19th at 8:43 PM Eastern US time, at the Zodiacal degree of 28 Sagittarius. There, they are closely conjunct Venus (at 24 Sagittarius), Juno (at 26 Sagittarius), and Mars in the sign of his exaltation (at 3 degrees Capricorn). There is, moreover, a fifth…

People suffering from vertigo experience spinning dizziness. Contrary to popular belief, vertigo is not an illness but, rather, a symptom of another underlying condition. It can occur when there is a malfunction of the sensory nerve pathway or a problem with the brain or the inner ear. While vertigo can occur at any age, it is more commonly found in people who are 65 years old or more. It can be long-term or temporary, can occur as a symptom of ear infection or during pregnancy. Inner ear disorders such as Ménière’s disease can also cause vertigo. People suffering from vertigo…

In previous articles, we saw that training no longer competes for “more content,” but for better execution. The next step is moving from “delivering learning” to “activating performance” at the exact moments where the business wins or loses. In 2026, the problem isn’t a lack of training. The problem is that, even with training, execution remains inconsistent: everyone solves problems “their own way,” errors are repeated, and results depend on who handles the case. Smart training shifts the focus: it doesn’t design to cover topics; it designs to standardize critical decisions that drive business KPIs.

 A typically-patterned male northern bushbuck in Senegal (© Lucy Keith-Diagne/Wikipedia – CC BY 4.0 licence) Bushbucks are the smallest members of the spiral-horned African antelope group, which also include the kudus, nyalas, sitatunga, elands, and bongo. Traditionally, just a single bushbuck species has been recognized, Tragelaphus scriptus, albeit with numerous subspecies (some of which long ago were briefly deemed by certain ‘splitter’ mammalogists to be species in their own right before being ‘lumped’ into T. scriptus), distributed through much of sub-Saharan Africa. More recently however, it has been split taxonomically into two – the northern bushbuck, native to western and…

Email WhatsApp LinkedIn Twitter Messenger Facebook February 23 – April 2, 2026 Mars enters Aquarius on February 23rd and stays through April 2nd, bringing nearly six weeks of intensified, electric energy. The most charged period of this entire transit falls between now and March 14th, when Mars is conjunct both Rahu and Mercury simultaneously in Aquarius. Then, from roughly March 8th through March 26th, Mars also becomes combust — moving too close to the Sun and having its fire blown out or amplified unpredictably. That is a lot happening in one sign over a short window of time, and it…

Calumet Region III: Symbolic representation of the hemi-marsh and fragmented landscapeCotton thread, cotton ground, collaged fabricMounted on linen Science Art exists on a continuum. At one end of the spectrum is scientific illustration. This is art in the service of science used to teach concepts or visualize big ideas. At the other end is art inspired by science: plenty of art flash but short on science. As a 10-year practitioner of science art, and a former science avoider, I aim for the middle of this continuum: using my toolkit as a fine artist, I want to communicate accurate scientific concepts…

Vasconcelos, B.D., Camurugi, F., Mudrek, J.R., Brandão, R.A. and Santana, D.J. (2025). Rivers and spatial distance are drivers of genetic diversity in the South American dwarf caiman (Paleosuchus palpebrosus). Journal of Zoology, vol. 325, pp. 36-48. https://doi.org/10.1111/jzo.13226 Did you know that the distribution and genetic structure of the South American dwarf caiman (Paleosuchus palpebrosus) are deeply linked to historical processes and landscape features? In our paper, we explore how geological events and climate change shaped the lineages of this fascinating crocodilian. We analyze how aridity, slope and rivers can act as surfaces of resistance or facilitators for the dispersal of the…

Why I came full circle. Grief, ritual, and living between the altar and the starsIn this article, I want to go more deeply into explaining my recent Catholic V Astrological existential crisis. It has to be looked at against the backdrop of what occurred from February 2024 to February 2025 — probably the most challenging twelve months of my life. Coincidentally, this period aligned with my second Saturn return and a Pluto-to-Sun transit.The pull toward the Catholic Church wasn’t a conversion so much as a recognition — a sense of returning to something through grief, ancestry, and ritual. What at…

Introduction:- It is often found on mountains. Asbestos of white, brown and black is found in India, in the coal mines around Hazaribagh and Giridhar in Bihar province and Raniganj in Bangal. It has mines in Chirtor, Bhilwara in Rajasthan. It is found in mountains in large dhokas(Places) frozen at the bottom. When cleaned, it folds out like glass. Its leaves can be separable from transparent, soft and easy. In Ayurveda it is calculated in maharas. Vajrabhak (black mica is used to make Bhasma. It is very useful because of its special content of iron in Euphoria. Types of Asbestos:-…

“The Grandeur of Brihadeshwara Temple, Thanjavur”, Esamskriti, February 22, 2026 “My visit to Thanjavur in February 2023 was a profound journey into the heart of Chola excellence. The Brihadeshwara Temple, also known as the “Big Temple” or Peruvudaiyar Kovil, is a spiritual and engineering marvel that has anchored the Kaveri delta for over a millennium. Commissioned by Raja Raja Chola I and consecrated in 1010 CE, it stands as a testament to a dynasty that combined administrative precision with divine artistic vision. Walking into the complex, one is immediately struck by the sheer scale. Unlike other South Indian temples where…

Introduction to Marketing Frameworks for Business Students You are halfway through a marketing strategy assignment, and everything reads like a textbook summary. The theory is there, but the structure is missing. This is the gap that marketing frameworks for business students fill; they turn abstract concepts into actionable blueprints that separate surface-level work from genuine strategic thinking. IMARC Group valued the global marketing industry at approximately $410 billion in 2024 and projects it to exceed $1.19 trillion by 2033. The professionals driving that growth do not rely on memorised definitions. They think in structured models. For those preparing to enter…

Back in 2020 Juniper wrote a post, 7 Plants You’ll Be Seeing More Of As Model Species. A model plant is a species that scientists use as a stand-in for studying how plants work in general. It’s the same idea as a model organism in biology — researchers pick one species and study it intensively, rather than trying to work on thousands of different plants at once.Good model plants tend to be small, fast-growing and easy to keep in a lab. If a plant goes from seed to seed in a few weeks, you can run experiments across many generations…

Aspects are perhaps the most difficult astrology pillar, because aspects weave together all the other astrology archetypes: planets, signs, and houses. Aspects are very complex! When learning something as complex as aspects, it’s only natural to make mistakes along the way. Here are the most common mistakes people make when interpreting aspects, based on our experience working with astrology students at all levels: Mistake #1 – Categorizing aspects as “hard” or “soft” or mixing up squares with oppositions, or sextiles with trines When we make these broad-brush categorizations, we miss very important interpretive nuances. Each aspect serves a unique purpose.…

Bendekayi Hashi ಬೆಂಡೆಕಾಯಿ ಹಶಿ is a Karnataka – Havyaka style yogurt based side dish, delicious yet unassumingly simple to put together. While both are yogurt (curd) based side dishes and are summer specials, and small eats (meant to be eaten in few morsels), the difference between Thambuli ತಂಬುಳಿ and Hashi ಹಶಿ is that in Hashi, we get to add vegetables like Bendekayi here. Daalimbe Sippe Thambuli and Agase Hoovina Thambuli are super delicious and are great for health. One may never guess that Bendekayi is ever suited to be paired with yogurt. But after you make this dish, you’ll see…

What is a Kalpa? In Hinduism, time is considered to be cyclical, with creation and destruction happening in endless cycles. The concept of Kalpa represents one cycle of creation and destruction and is seen as a day in the life of Brahma, the creator god. Each Kalpa lasts for 4.32 billion years and is divided into 14 Manvantaras, each presided over by a different Manu, a progenitor of humanity. Significance of Kalpa in Hinduism The concept of Kalpa has both philosophical and ritual significance in Hinduism. As a Vedanga, Kalpa is one of the six auxiliary disciplines that support the…

A peer-reviewed study of Khan Academy has been published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), one of the most selective scientific journals in the world. Using a methodology designed to account for factors that are typically not measured in education research, the study finds a statistically significant positive relationship between Khan Academy usage and student learning outcomes. For school leaders evaluating edtech tools used at scale, PNAS sets an unusually high bar: it does not publish routine program evaluations or vendor-led efficacy studies. Submissions are reviewed under criteria more commonly applied in fields like medicine or economics,…

So far, we’ve stuck to the idea of “lone pairs”, electrons being “between” nuclei, and hybridized atomic orbitals to explain a lot of different types of bonding. But this, somewhat, deviates from the ideas that we established when talking about the quantum mechanical properties of atoms. Electrons are notoriously tricky particles; we know they exist because it wouldn’t make sense for them to not exist. Not only that, but we have been able to detect them through experiments since we learned that atoms have electrical properties in the late 1800s. However, even though we know they’re there, we have yet…

By Justin Garwood, Mike van Hattem, Tony LaBanca, Ken Lindke, Gordon Leppig, and Michael Kauffmann A BIOGEOGRAPHIC CROSSROADS High in the Klamath Mountains of northwest California—where floras from the Cascades, Sierra Nevada, Coast Ranges, and Great Basin converge, and more than 3,500 plant taxa have been documented—the landscape has long been shaped by geologic and climatic complexity (Kauffmann and Garwood 2022). Each ridgeline and cirque supports a distinctive combination of rock types, microclimates, and species. Because of the range’s coastal proximity and latitude, its highest peaks accumulate snowpacks comparable to those of the Sierra Nevada or Cascades, yet here, at…

Aspidistras are famous for their ability to withstand and even flourish under the kind of neglect that would usually end in the crinkly, brown-leafed death of most plants.But that’s no excuse for neglecting their absolutely amazing flowers! Aspidistras have been suffering multiple levels of neglect for centuries. The first member of the genus Aspidistra was named and described in 1822. After that, people seemed to lose interest for some 150 years. That’s why people thought there were only about ten species.It wasn’t until the 1970s and 80s when scientists finally pulled their fingers out, pulled their socks up and finally…

As a rule, I’m generally not one for the New Year / New Me vibe. Reason being, it’s rare that the New Year period aligns cosmically with resolutions, goals or intention setting. The Aries Equinox and New Moon period is better for that. So much so, I have an entire workshop all about it! However, January 2026 is different and I’m excited to use this very first blog post on my new website to explain why. If you thought 2025 slipped by quickly, 2026 looks set to be even quicker! However, January provides a focused and grounded energy that can…

This stew is incredibly healthy, with a hearty dose of superfoods including sweet potatoes, kale, turmeric and lentils.

I love that itʻs simple & versatile, so chances are I have enough options on hand to swap out ingredients where I need to. And it also happens to taste delicious too!

On 11th September 1893, Swami Vivekananda took the stage at the Parliament of World’s Religions in Chicago. Beginning with his now-immortal greeting, “Sisters and Brothers of America”, he captured hearts instantly. But beyond the applause and admiration, his words carried timeless truths that continue to guide humanity even today. A Call for Tolerance and UnityVivekananda’s speech was rooted in India’s ancient ethos of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam — the world is one family. In an age where divisions based on religion, race, and politics still plague societies, his call for universal brotherhood is as urgent as it was in 1893. Respect for…

The process of formation of gametes is called “gametogenesis”. The gametes are derived from primordial germ cells/ primitive sex cells. • Primordial germ cells (PGC)/Primitive sex cells:Gametes are derived from PGC during 4th week of development. The PGC appear in the wall of yolk sac from which they migrate to the developing gonad from the coelomic epithelium and adjacent mesenchyme. The PGC undergo mitotic division during their migration resulting in increase in their number. • Definition: Gametogenesis can be defined as the process of conversion of primordial or primitive germ cells and their maturation into male and female gametes.

The first Asilomar conference of 1975 has been both celebrated and condemned. Whichever way you lean it was certainly a pivotal moment in the history of biotechnology. Californian researchers working on GM microbes and GM viruses faced pushback for the first time on the potential hazards involved and gradually came to realise that their experiments might be dangerous and needed oversight. The critical question (for them) became: who would do the oversight? The public? The government? The scientists themselves? So they met at Asilomar, California, partly to assess the dangers and partly to create a solution to their political problem.…

 Off to a rough start We began 2026 with a Full moon in Cancer opposing Mars January 3rd. This was followed by the new moon in Capricorn January 18th. On the Cancer moon the US invaded Venezuela and a woman was shot and killed by ICE in Minnesota as the world watched. On the Capricorn moon Donald Trump threatened European tariffs again on countries that don’t support his idea of taking over Greenland and a train wreck in Switzerland killed dozens and so we began the New Year. The Cancer-Capricorn axis lunar cycle is often associated with patriotism, or what…

Angiosperms form the most dominant group of plants with at least 253,300 species (Thorne, 2007). Angiosperms are also found in a far greater range of habitats than any other group of land plants. The phylogeny of angiosperms is a much-debated subject, largely because of very poor records of the earliest angiosperms. These earliest angiosperms probably lived in habitats which were not best suited for fossilization. ORIGIN OF ANGIOSPERMS With the exception of conifer forest and moss-lichen tundra, angiosperms dominate all major terrestrial vegetation zones, account for the majority of primary production on land, and exhibit extensive morphological diversity. Unfortunately, much…

This isn’t a soft transit.It’s a flood. Mars in Pisces isn’t here to inspire you. It’s here to expose you. Expose the quiet addiction to being needed. Expose the script that says suffering equals virtue. Expose the way you confuse compassion with self-erasure. This isn’t a transit. It’s an eviction notice for your savior complex. Collectively, we are beginning a Mars in Pisces weather pattern (Mars moves into Pisces on March 2nd). Everyone is exhausted. Everyone is overwhelmed. Everyone is performing empathy while quietly drowning. The Shadow isn’t violence right now. It’s martyrdom. It’s spiritual bypass dressed up as kindness.…

Healthy aging menopause Ayurveda, these travel together, as Kate O’Donnell and I note on her recent podcast. You can listen to it here. Ayurveda balances conditions. If we’re depleted, it’s there for rejuvenation. If we’re toxed, it’s there for cleaning. Sometimes we’re both, and this can be dealt with, too.  The four ashramas, stages of life In Ayurveda, we each move through four stages of life in our own ways. First being a student, second householding, third forest dwelling, and fourth, renunciation. Kate and I spoke especially about the vanaprastha, forest dweller stage of life, in relationship to health aging menopause…

In the previous reflection, we stood beside Brahma at the threshold of divine revelation—having beheld Vaikuṇṭha, surrendered at the lotus feet of Bhagavan, and received the assurance that tapas, when born of obedience and humility, draws forth His compassion. Brahma himself seemed to hold his breath, absorbed in awe, as Bhagavan spoke—not merely instructions for cosmic order, but truth itself, distilled. What follows is not a continuation of narrative alone, but a descent into essence.Now, Bhagavan Narayana unveils to Brahma the most secret heart of the Srimad Bhagavatam—four verses that are not bound by time, kalpa, or cosmology. These utterances…

Today, we built a Bug House! This is a fun activity to do with kids of all ages that requires just a little bit of prep. We’re looking forward to seeing what types of bugs decide to stay in our humble abode! And even though we named it Bug House, it’s not just for bugs, of course, but also insects, isopods, arachnids, and anything else that would like to move in!  Our Bug House will become a reoccurring observation and discussion activity. Every couple of days, we’ll go out and check on the Bug House, see what’s moved in, and…

Human life is not like the life of any other animal. Unlike animal life, success and satisfaction have a lot of importance in human life. But these entirely depend upon the right activities done by human beings at the right time.Every right activity can be wrong if it is not performed as per the requirements of the situation. In the same way, bad deeds can be beneficial if they are done at the right time as per the requirements of the situation.Consuming food is good, but consuming poison is risky. Expressing anger to control child misbehaviour is good, expressing it…

The Lost and Found Fungi (LAFF) project have been travelling the country, teaching fungal enthusiasts DNA barcoding… With attention to detail, and a little luck, the protocols have been teaching allow you to read the DNA of the life around us. In this particular case Brian and myself of Kew’s Esmée Fairbairn Foundation funded community project have been using the BentoLab to sequence DNA of fungi collected by local enthusiasts. This is a kingdom full of mimics and species complexes and of all known methods to identify them, the most conclusive is reading their DNA. DNA barcoding is a method which allows us…

Medical translation involves the conversion of medical documents, materials, and patient communication from one language to another. This includes translating patient records, clinical research, drug instructions, medical device manuals, and healthcare-related documents, all of which require high levels of accuracy, precision, and an understanding of medical terminology. Since healthcare professionals continue to work with a variety of communities, medical translation makes sure that everyone, regardless of language, can access vital information.The role of medical translation extends beyond just ensuring that the meaning is transferred from one language to another. Additionally, it entails tailoring medical information to the target audience’s cultural…

Bobsleigh Marble Run Challenge You’ll need Marbles Craft items – cardboard tubes, cereal boxes, craft sticks, bottles, and anything else you think might work. Tape A large sheet of cardboard to hold the track Instructions First, design your marble run. You probably want a slope at the beginning to give the marble some initial speed, followed by twists and turns. As an extension task, add an extra challenge, for example, can you design a track that keeps a marble running for 60 seconds or longer? Another idea is to add bubble wrap or velcro to the track to increase the…

By Francesco Martini We are living in a biodiversity crisis, with many species shrinking in numbers and at risk of going extinct. To put a stop to, or at least slow down this seemingly inevitable fall into the abyss for many of the world’s species, one action that is considered effective is establishing protected areas.  “A protected area is a clearly defined geographical space, recognised, dedicated and managed, through legal or other effective means, to achieve the long term conservation of nature with associated ecosystem services and cultural values.” IUCN Definition, 2008  When we imagine a protected area, we typically…

MARS ENTERS PISCES 02 MARCH 2026MARS ENTERS PISCES  and tired is the new normal… Although in its own triplicity in Pisces, Mars tends nevertheless to lose itself a little in this sign. Energies are scattered and vitality is often low which might lead to a tendency to brooding and introspection. On the other hand, Mars in Pisces is often gifted with an unusual intuitive accuracy but frequently prefers to win by yielding itself to the other as it moves from one mood to another with great ease thus creating confusion in the adversary. Helplessness is often used as a weapon…

WATCH THE VIDEO to Spring Forward without Fatigue — with this Ayurveda Trick! Good news! At least I think it’s good news, but I am an Ayurveda nerd. Check it out, the ‘spring forward’ time change just made it EASIER for you to wake up in the dark before the sun! I know I tell you all the time to wake up early—before the sun—but let’s be real… are you actually doing it?  More importantly—how are you feeling right now? Be honest. Are you feeling any of these things: Mentally foggy? Sluggish energy? Low motivation, low zest for life? Stressed? Depressed? Kinda chubby (ha!)? There’s no judging here but if…

March Hares in front of Wisley’s Glasshouse. Dancing Hares bronze sculpture by Sophie Ryder. © Karen Andrews In early March, I had an opportunity to visit RHS Wisley. This photo blog summarises my visit. Bright, early spring flowers peeped out through the largely grey, overcast day. They offered the hope that they would soon take over from the winter-flowering shrubs and the long harsh winter. Crocus flowers were out in force. Crocus flowers were out in numbers at Wisley in March. Above are Crocus ‘Flower Record’ (violet) ‘Pickwick’ (striped white and violet) and ‘Jeanne d’Arc’ (white). © Karen Andrews Early…

It is well known that we are in the throes of the sixth mass extinction–this time caused not by great natural catastrophes, but by the far-reaching impact humans have had on the planet.What is much less discussed but–literally–much closer to home, is the extinction of experience. Extinction of experience refers to human interactions with nature, now diminishing with accelerating urbanization, and the barriers, physical and otherwise, that people build between themselves and the natural world.Yet the connection between people and nature is essential for our mutual health. Nature has long been recognized as having a positive impact on human wellbeing…

Neil Sedaka (1939 – 2026) “When we ran out of lyrics we’d use a doo-bee-doo”  ~ Neil Sedaka Singer, Songwriter and Pianist Neil Sedaka died suddenly on Thursday, at the age of 86.  He was a big part of the music scene when I was a young girl, his heyday being between 1957 and 1965.  I thought of his tunes as upbeat and melodious, but of course the explosion of the Beatles ushered in a whole new genre of exciting music in that period. Birth Chart The Sun in Pisces gave Neil Sedaka the sensitivity to write about emotional life,…

January 03, 2023 As the birth place of Tantra, the Kama Sutra, and temple dancers, Ancient India knew how to keep it spicy in the bedroom. Ayurvedic medicine is the KING of rejuvenation therapies especially when it comes to caring for the body when you want to increase s3x drive, have more satisfying s3x, and keep yourself healthy after.   Something not talked about in the West is the WHY of low libido. From an Ayurvedic standpoint, this relates to the state of your underlying health, and is also why any good s3xual rejuvenative herb is working on many levels…

  Upset Hindus are urging Shein, Singapore headquartered “global online fashion and lifestyle retailer”, to apologize and immediately withdraw the multipurpose blanket-bedspread carrying image of Hindu deity Lord Ganesh; calling it highly inappropriate. Distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, said that it was shocking to visualize that Shein, for its mercantile greed, was apparently persuading the world to sleep on the image of Lord Ganesh, which Hindus worshipped. Hindu deity Lord Ganesh, whose image was depicted on Ganesh Multipurpose Blanket Bedspread sold at Shein website, was highly revered in Hinduism and was meant to…

For four decades, a controversial idea has shaped how autism is understood by researchers, healthcare professionals and the public: the claim that autistic people are “mind blind”. The phrase suggests an inability to grasp what others think or feel. It is simple, memorable – and wrong.The claim rests on a concept called “theory of mind”. In everyday terms, theory of mind is the ability to recognise that other people’s thoughts, beliefs and emotions may differ from your own. This idea explains why someone understands that a joke can fall flat, that a promise can be broken, or that a friend…

“Two of the great joys in people’s lives are sensations of smell and taste”-R Peter Manes Have you ever imagines what would our world be if we did not have the sense of smell? Many of the animals around us in the nature have much more powerful sense of smell than us humans, but even that we tend to ignore until we have a problem. Anosmia–loss of sense of smell is one of the increasingly raising health concern in the recent times. It not only effects our sense of smell but over a period of time it is seen to…

Hasn’t Hindu imagery evolved over the centuries? Aren’t AI-generated images just a continuation of this? Yes, in a way — Hindu imagery has evolved considerably over time — but AI brings important challenges and cautions that must be taken seriously. Some Hindu Dharma traditions use images and some do not, and those that do, use them in various ways. In many traditions, images of the Supreme Being or Illumined Beings are deeply tied to ceremonial veneration. In ancient times, millennia ago, images might be rare, expensive, and mostly found in temples rather than homes, other than images made by individual…

A bit of ‘cheating’ here as I relocated my bryophyte specimens from my first venture into bryology back in 2006 and added 39 species based on these. Other than that I recorded the diminutive Microbryum curvicollum and M. rectum on bare chalk at Swyncombe Downs as well as the truly tiny Seligeria calycina on chalk pebbles at the same site. I also added the liverwort Sphaerocarpos michelii new to the NHM grounds.The rarest moss of the year was Rhynchostegium rotundifolium seen at its classic site on a Cotswolds hedge-bank.   Rhynchostegium rotundifolium for your viewing pleasure, known from two sites in the…

Implementing a learning management system in education is transforming how institutions deliver, manage, and assess learning. Traditional classrooms are evolving, and educators are increasingly adopting digital solutions to create dynamic, flexible, and learner-centric environments. By integrating an LMS, schools and universities can seamlessly combine face-to-face instruction with online resources, interactive modules, and performance tracking. This not only improves accessibility but also allows educators to tailor learning paths, track student progress, and ensure engagement at every stage. Coupled with a robust blended learning platform, modern educational organisations are enhancing knowledge retention and driving measurable academic outcomes. Why Are Blended Learning Models…

It was 2023, and Sarah Porteboeuf’s fridge calendar had “heavy-ion run” scribbled in big red letters across the end of September and most of October.“My family knew that this period was the most intense of the year,” Porteboeuf says. Porteboeuf is a physicist on the ALICE Experiment, one of the four large experiments that collects data from the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Typically, when scientists wrap up the LHC’s usual run of proton-proton collisions, they fill the LHC with lead nuclei and do a few weeks of heavy-ion physics. Unlike the other big experiments, ALICE is designed to study heavy-ion collisions.…

When I knew I was moving back to Minnesota, I checked an apartment complex that was on my old birding patch. I used to pass this place all the time while birding and thought the grounds right on a wetland with a water feature and Joe-Pye-weed looked ideal. When I mentioned it to my husband at the time, he didn’t like the zip code, “That’s St. Louis Park, I have to have a Minneapolis zip code.” We all have our quirks. But when I was cruising the website while in Alaska looking for a new place to live, I noticed…

Among Hinduphobic myths you often hear is that Hindus are not charitable, while greedy, oppressive Brahmins live off Hindu wealth at temples. In reality, to our experience, Hindus are often the most charitable and often don’t promote themselves doing so.  But there is one hinduphobic myth we often come across, where Hindus are brainwashed by the Brahmin elite caste to offer, and waste milk to a Shiva Lingam, a sacred ritual known as Abhishekam, while poor Hindus can’t even afford milk, and their children go hungry. Well, that myth gets totally busted when at this Dhyanalinga temple at Coimbatore, India,…

The Alcazar de los Reyes Christianos (Alcazar of the Christian Kings) blends the formality of royal palace gardens with the strong Moorish influence often found throughout Andalusian Spain’s gardens.

This top terrace features two large pools, and steps lead to the lower terrace which features three large ponds. A middle terrace is located at the southern end. The gardens are planted with tall cypress edges, while boxwood in a grid pattern edges rose gardens. The water features are the focal…

Researchers summarize findings about the human health effects of a chemical after it was accidentally included in livestock feed. Introduction Some chemicals designed to improve life turn out to be dangerous. One example is a group of chemicals known as polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs). These chemicals reduced the flammability of many products in the 1970s. But their use stopped in 1976. Why? People found out that these chemicals are persistent pollutants. They cause negative health effects as they stay in the environment and people’s bodies for a long time. People discovered the dangers of PBBs because of an accident. In 1973,…

On 17 February 2026, 12:12 PM UT, there will be an annular solar eclipse. The duration of the eclipse will be 1 hour 57 minutes. Annularity, (which will last 2 min 5 sec), will be visible over Antarctica only. However, the partial eclipse will be visible from the very southern tip of Argentina and Chile, as well as in much of Southern Africa (including South Africa, Mozambique, and Madagascar). The chart, cast for Buenos Aires, shows the event: Before we will discuss any possible effects on the individual, we have a look at the mundane astrological implications of this eclipse. To…

Wisdom tools for understanding and effectively coping with karma By Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami  The concept of karma has spread beyond the confines of the Asian religions that revealed it to become a core concept of today’s media, yoga and New Age movements. It is referenced regularly on American mainstream television programs and in the movies. Last year, in discussing the concept with a junior college class in Hawaii, a student expressed contemporary culture’s astute definition of karma as “What goes around comes around.” Unfortunately, most individuals understand karma as an abstract principle but do not apply it to their own…

Company culture defines the shared identity of a business. It shows up in the collective values and behaviors of the team. The shift to remote and hybrid work changed how these connections form. You can’t rely on physical proximity to build a cohesive environment anymore. It requires an intentional operating model to create a work culture where it once came naturally. The guide explores the elements of workplace culture, why it matters, its various types, and the red flags that signal when you need to course-correct. It also provides methods to improve your company culture through learning. What is company…

Picture this: a 43-year-old bonobo watches as a researcher tips an empty pitcher over two empty cups, miming the gesture of pouring. The researcher then “empties” one of the cups back into the pitcher. When asked where the juice is, the bonobo points to the correct cup. The one that still contains the imaginary liquid.Kanzi with researcher Sue Savage-Rumbaugh in 2006 [Photo by William H. Calvin / CC BY-SA 4.0]This is not a party trick.
