Animal Life - Live Cams

 Yesterday I came across a Great Horned Owl nest with three healthy owlets.


Unfortunately, the Barn Owl lost some babies.  There was not enough food being brought in.


But this Barn Owl nest is packed full!


I went to check on the raccoons as well but apparently mama ripped the camera out of the box last night, so it's just Texas Backyard Wildlife.

  Science is also serious. You may have heard that a case review is ongoing regarding the safety and science of an abortion pill, called mifepristone, that has been on the market since 2000. It's another attack from antiabortionists who want to restrict others from care and choice for themselves. Of course, the FDA already vetted the drug and numerous studies show the pill is safe and effective. "If courts can go against a whole tremendous amount of scientific evidence, that just doesn't seem right." More Info: Science News News and Politics

One of the most famous math pieces in the world, the Mandelbrot set, but what is it? First, fractals.  "They are tricky to define," says Michael Rose, PhD candidate at the University of Newcastle's School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences.  "Infinite intricacy, zoom symmetry, complexity from simplicity, and fractional dimensions." Benoit Mandelbrot was born in Warsaw in 1924 and he could see that fractals are the geometry of nature.  He was working as a coder for IBM in the 70's when he came across a paper by Gaston Julia. The Julia set, defined loosely, is "the set of points where, no matter how many times you repeatedly apply some function to them, they will never shoot off into infinity." With the aid of computer graphics, Mandelbrot was able to connect the function: fc(z)=z2 + c More  Here  if you can understand the math.  I just like the visuals.  :-P
