Graffiti Art Comes Alive

Mon, Jul 20, 2009

Graffiti represents an art form that is unrestricted, one that rebels against conventional forms of artwork. Graffiti is intertwined into human history, dating back to the Roman Empires where they were plastered onto walls to make political statements and satirize current events.

Modern graffiti achieves many of the same things – to state a message that doesn’t necessarily fit into the norms of society, but also can be just creative artwork .

Bird building a nest in your flowerpot

Sun, Jul 19, 2009

As long as the bird has not yet started laying eggs, you can move or destroy the nest. If there is even one egg present, you need to leave it alone. In the US, all native migratory birds are protected under federal law (Migratory Bird Treaty Act). It is illegal to disturb an active nest. Penalties for violating this law include fines of up to $500 and/or up to 6 months in jail for each offense.

If eggs are present, try to water the plant at times when the mother bird is absent, when she goes to get food for herself.

If eggs are present, about two weeks after they hatch, you will have fledglings on the ground.

Baby birds fledge (leave the nest) several days before they start to fly. They hop around on the ground, and they climb on low branches until their wings are strong enough for them to fly. The parent birds continue to feed and care for the fledglings until they are self-sufficient. If you see a baby bird on the ground, and the bird has most of his feathers, leave him alone. Do not think that he needs to be “rescued.”

A super-master of miniatures Nikolay Aldunin is going to have a museum of his works in Moscow. He was born in Tula, but after becoming popular all over the country and abroad for his fabulous
works
, he moved to the capital and continued creating his tiny things there. He managed to shoe a flea, carved portraits of R
ussian authors  on rice grains and constructed a microscopic miniature ofthe Eiffel Tower
, and lots of other awesome things, which seem to be just impossible to make without special hi-tech equipment. But he can do that

Airline For Pets

Thu, Jul 16, 2009

The airline allows cats and dogs to travel in carriers in the main cabin of the plane, rather than the cargo hold. While some airlines allow small animals to fly in the cabin as long as their carriers fit under the seats, Pet Airways has no limit on size.

The carrier will not transport human passengers other than crew and attendants to care for the animals during flights. Pet owners will have to fly separately.
