PANIC by Sharon Draper. “[Diamond] pulled and tugged, but there was no slack in the ropes; she could not pull her as free. She panicked. That’s when she began to scream.”
THE 5TH WAVE by Rick Yancey. “It wasn’t about saving us. And it wasn’t about enslaving us or herding us into reservations. It was about killing us. All of us.”
The Fearsome Foursome
A party lays in wait.
Bees and the waggle dance: a figure eight series of movements that a scouting honey bee will make on its return to the hive.
By performing this dance, successful foragers can share with their hive mates information about the direction and distance to patches of flowers yielding nectar and pollen, to water sources, or to new housing locations…
Waggle dancing bees that have been in the hive for an extended time adjust the angles of their dances to accommodate the changing direction of the sun. Therefore, bees that follow the waggle run of the dance are still correctly led to the food source even though its angle relative to the sun has changed.
How amazing is that?!
Thanks, Pete.
This is just…wow!
“The Joy of Books” is a wonderful stop-motion animation in which the books in a small bookshop come alive at night. The animation is by Sean Ohlenkamp and quite a large number of volunteer book wranglers. It was shot after hours at Type Books in Toronto.
