POPSRiesenhamsterratte Rosie, Landminensucherin Rosie schafft es, in einer halben Stunde hundert Quadratmeter nach Minen abzusuchen. Menschen brauchten dafür mehrere Tage. Die große Frage ist nun: Was passiert, wenn Rosie direkt auf einer Mine sitzt und mit ihren Vorderpfoten herumkratzt? Gar nichts! Riesenhamsterratten sind zwar, wie der Name schon sagt, ziemlich groß. Sie werden 40 Zentimeter lang und wiegen bis zu 1,5 Kilogramm. Aber sie sind zu leicht, um eine Mine auszulösen. See also my clip HeroRATS (in English language).

POPSLearning about Forensics Part I Elyse's Site is a good general review of forensics and the application of the science in all it's myriad forms. This part was clipped as a basic primer on the different branches. Part II (Yes, another Multi-part Clip!) will focus on the different applications of the science and some very good links to high-end Forensic sites. The Site owner definitely loves CSI and you will see that if you go there...

More personal details of the artist and how he does such beautiful work are at the end of the clip... Enjoy. I did.

From there, the organization of color has taken many forms, from tables and charts, to triangles, and wheels the history.

POPSChristian Science Monitor on Reverend Wright - Did Obama's Pastor Preach Hate?
What people hear depends on their own experience and worldview, says Teresa Brown, who teaches the art of preaching at Emory U. in Atlanta. "I listen to 60 sermons a week by black and white pastors, you can find something in almost any one that is offensive to somebody." The key as to whether language is hate speech lies in a preacher's overall message, according to Martin Marty, of the University of Chicago Divinity School and renowned historian of religion. Dr. Marty, who has visited Trinity many times, says, "If Wright only had whites in his searchlight, you might call it . But he goes after the men in his church" about fatherhood, he puts himself and his people under the prophetic spotlight. "The black church took the distorted version of Christianity that provided the religious justification for slavery, carved out the racist elements ..and implanted new content that actually moved Christianity in this country closer to Jesus' message," says Dr. Braxton.

POPSArt of Charles Sheeler Charles Sheeler (1883-1965) was a founder of American modernism and a master photographer of the 20thC. Born in Philadelphia, he first studied at the Penn. Academy of Fine Arts. In 1909 he went to Paris, just when Cubism was becoming popular. Returning to the US, he realised that he would not make a living with Modernism, so he took up commercial photography, his focus on architectural subjects. He was a self-taught photographer, and learned on a $5 Brownie. He shared a farmhouse in Doylestown, Penn., close to Philadelphia, with artist Morton Schamberg. He was so fond of the 19thC stove there that he called it his "companion" and made it a subject of his photographs (see last clip). The farmhouse serves a prominent role in many of his photographs. He painted using a technique called Precisionist, a term that emphasised the linear precision he employed in his work. His subjects were generally things such as machinery and structures.

POPS♫ Cellist Jacqueline du Pré ♥ - glimpses of eternity The embedded video is linked to my Jacqueline du Pré playlist on YouTube. (Overall duration: almost 1,5 h.) Jacqueline du Pré and Kathleen Ferrier - these two great British artists died when they had scarcely reached the fifth decade of their lifes. Their personalities will never be forgotten, and their art is living on. "Teach us, sprite or bird, What sweet thoughts are thine; I have never heard Praise of love or wine That panted forth a flood Of rapture so divine." (P.B. Shelley - To a Skylark) (See also morgainelefaye's Jacqueline du Pré clip .) Addendum: J. du P.'s biography on Oxford DNB podcast
