Está considerada como una de las mujeres científicas de mayor impacto en el siglo XX. Los ojos de Jane Goodall brillan al compartir sus historias de ayer, convertidas hoy en grandes lecciones de vida sobre la ciencia y la educación: "Sé curiosa y comete errores, sé paciente y no te rindas", repite esta mujer extraordinaria.

Goodall vivió su infancia y juventud con un solo sueño: viajar desde su Inglaterra natal a África para estar cerca de los animales y escribir sobre ellos. En 1960, con apenas 23 años, hizo realidad su propósito de la mano del famoso antropólogo Louis Leakey quien le encargó la arriesgada misión de viajar a la selva de Gombe,Tanzania y convertirse así en el primer ser humano en observar e investigar a los chimpancés salvajes. Acompañada de su madre comenzó un proyecto de investigación de seis meses de duración. Hoy, casi 60 años después, continúa desarrollándose gracias al equipo de investigadores del Instituto Jane Goodall en la que es, una de las investigaciones de campo más prolongadas sobre animales en libertad. Sus investigaciones revolucionaron a la comunidad científica y fascinaron al mundo entero. Su perseverancia, intuición, empatía y capacidad de observación, no solo nos han permitido descubrir el desconocido mundo de los chimpancés y de otras especies, sino que, nos invitan a reflexionar sobre nosotros mismos, promover un estilo de vida más sostenible y a construir una sociedad más justa.

Himekami, aka Himekami Sensation ((姫神せんせいしょん) was the musical project of late electronic composer and musician Yoshiaki Hoshi. The j-card and contents of this tape highlight the context of the new age music craze, with a catalog of other Higher Octave releases and a postcard to send to the label for more info.

Moonwater was an album that saw an audience wider than that of his native Japan, seeing distribution in the US via Higher Octave Music.

This album exemplifies the new age electronic style he was best known for, new age meets traditional music with unabashed synth timbres and instrumentation. It was a departure from his synthpop and electro-pop albums earlier in his career, which sounded more like YMO than say, his new age peer Kitaro.

Himekami was quite prolific, releasing dozens of albums and and having work appear in various film, TV and VG soundtracks. Although a solo moniker he worked with his wife Etsuko and performed with a band live, a band that continued to perform and record after his death in 2004 under the direction of his son Yoshiki.

Composer: Antonio Vivaldi
Artist: ConSerto Musico, Mario Folena (flute), Stefania Marusi (flute), Francesco Baroni (harpsichord), Roberto Loreggian (harpsichord and organ)

Though several of Vivaldi’s most delightful concertos are written for the flute, he left relatively little chamber music for the instrument: the ‘Il Pastor Fido’ set which used to be attributed to him is now known to have been composed by Nicolas Chédeville. On this valuable new recording, Mario Folena and Roberto Loreggian offer what seems to be all that is left of Vivaldi’s output for the genre, informed by the latest scholarship and in delightful and lively period-instrument recordings. They couple it not with the previously recorded ‘Il Pastor Fido’ sonatas, but with a genuine rarity: an arrangement of ‘Spring’ from The Four Seasons made by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the composer and philosopher who argued that, in politics as in music, Man should return to first principles.

Besides being hermaphrodites — all snails have both boy and girl parts — they stab each other with “love darts” as a kind of foreplay.

DEEP LOOK: a new ultra-HD (4K) short video series created by KQED San Francisco and presented by PBS Digital Studios. See the unseen at the very edge of our visible world. Get a new perspective on our place in the universe and meet extraordinary new friends. Explore big scientific mysteries by going incredibly small.

The sex life of the common snail is anything but ordinary.

First, they’re hermaphrodites, fitted with both male and female reproductive plumbing, and can mate with any member of their species they want.

Sounds easy, but the battle of the sexes is alive and well in gastropods.

In nature, fatherhood is easier. It’s the quickest, cheapest way to pass on your genes. Motherhood requires a much greater investment of time, energy, and resources.

During courtship, the snails will decide who gets to be more father than mother. But their idea of courtship is to stab each other with a tiny spike called a love dart.

The love dart is the snails’ tool for maximizing their male side. It injects hormones to prevent the other snail’s body from killing newly introduced sperm once copulation begins.

When snails copulate, two penises enter two vaginal tracts. Both snails in the pairing transfer sperm, but whichever snail got in the best shot with the dart has a better chance of ultimately fertilizing eggs.

In some species, only one snail fires a love dart, but in others, like the garden snail, both do.

You can spot love darts sticking out of snails in mid-courtship, and even find them abandoned in slime puddles where mating has been happening.

Scale it up to human size and the love dart would be the equivalent of a 15-inch knife.

--- How common is hermaphroditism?

Less than one percent of animal species are hermaphrodites. They’re most common among arthropods, the phylum of life that includes snails.

--- How do hermaphrodites decide who’s going to the male and female?

In most cases, both individuals will be both male and female, to some extent. Sometimes, like with garden snails, it’s a question of degree.

--- Can a love dart kill the snail?

In theory yes, but not very often. One researcher told us that in the thousands of matings he’s observed, he’s seen only one snail die that way.

En este vídeo, Imma Marín, experta en aprendizaje lúdico, explica la importancia del aprendizaje a través del juego. Asegura que la función principal de los juguetes debe ser divertir: “El juego tiene beneficios colaterales. A través de la diversión, los niños desarrollan aspectos fundamentales para su aprendizaje, como la creatividad, el esfuerzo, la cooperación o la concentración”. Y añade, “lo importante es tener un buen repertorio lúdico, que incluya juguetes de varios tipos, capaces de desarrollar distintas habilidades”.

Diplomada en Magisterio, Imma Marín ejerce en la actualidad como consultora de educación y formación a través del juego. Es experta en ‘gamificación’ y presidenta de la IPA en España, la Asociación Internacional por el derecho de los niños y niñas a jugar. Y autora, entre otros, de los libros ‘¿Jugamos?: Como el aprendizaje lúdico puede transformar la educación’ y ‘El placer de jugar: Aprende y diviértete jugando con tus hijos’.

Sure, the female black widow has a terrible reputation. But who’s the real victim here? Her male counterpart is a total jerk — and might just be getting what he deserves.

We’ve all heard the stories. She mates and then kills. Her venom is 15 times stronger than a rattlesnake’s. One bite could kill you. With a shiny black color and a glaring red hourglass stomach, she has long inspired fear and awe.

But most species of widow spider (there are 31), including the western black widow found in the U.S., don’t kill their mates at all. Only two widow spider species always eat their mate, the Australian redback and the brown widow, an invasive species in California.

And the male seems to be asking for it. In both of these species, he offers himself to her, somersaulting into her mouth after copulation.

He may even deserve it. During peak mating season, thousands of males will prowl around looking for females. Females set up their webs, stay put and wait.

Once the male arrives at her silken abode, he starts to wreck it, systematically disassembling her web one strand at a time. In a process scientists call web reduction, he bunches it into a little ball and wraps it up with his own silk.

Then, while mating, he will wrap her in fine strands that researchers refer to as the bridal veil. He drapes his silk over her legs, where her smell receptors are most concentrated.

After all of that, he is most likely to crawl away, alive and unscathed.

--- Why does the black widow spider eat her mate?

No one really knows, but scientists assume his body supplies her with nutrition for laying eggs. Sometimes she eats him by accident, not recognizing him as a mate.

--- How harmful are black widows to people?

We couldn’t find a documented case of a human death from a black widow spider in the U.S., but a bite will make you sick with extreme flu-like symptoms. Luckily, black widows aren’t aggressive to people.

--- Why do black widows have a red hourglass?

It’s a warning sign, a phenomenon common in nature that scientists call aposematicism, which is the use of color to ward off enemies.

Kitaro prays for the God of the nature,forest, and respect the traditional Maturi1200years from now.
喜多郎氏にとって、日本の伝統を守る事はライフワークとなっている。長野県諏訪大社の御柱は1200年以上前から現代まで続いている日本を代表する巨木信仰の祭である。山から神木になる木を選び斧で伐採される。丸太となった巨木に縄をかけられ、諏訪に暮らす大勢の人々が心を一つにして木落とし坂に運ばれていく。木落とし坂は険しい坂で、縄を最後まで引くのも大変な坂であるが、巨木が木落とし坂を降り切った瞬間、巨木は神となる。人々はその瞬間まで巨木に付き添い、見届ける。喜多郎氏は1998年、この感動を世界に発信すべくGaia Onbashiraをリリース、その年のグラミー賞にノミネートされた。2010年、諏訪大社御柱祭オフィシャルアーティストに選任された喜多郎氏は日本が誇る文化を継承し、再度世界に発信するため、白装束に身を包み、心身共に身を清め、神事として御諏訪太鼓の演奏を御柱に奉納した。奉納演奏は、巨木が木落とし坂にさしかかるまで続けられた。尚、伐採された後の山には氏子によりボランティアで木の苗を植えられ、山が枯れないよう御柱祭は次の世代に引き継がれていく。

喜多郎オフィシャルウェブサイトhttp://www.diaa.net/kitaro/index.php

Composer Kitaro, with a Golden Globe Award, Grammy nomination, and two dozen albums to his credit, is revered most for his ability to embody the human spirit in his music.  Today, Kitaro's music is increasingly progressive, full of innovative touches.  Resonant with exotic Japanese instruments as well as the more familiar guitar, flute, and drums, it shimmers one minute and rumbles the next, by turns soothing and stirring, atonal and rhythmic, orchestrally full and dramatic, yet surprisingly intimate, with the ability to transport the listener on a far-reaching musical journey that draws refrains of East and West together.  Includes 5.1 audio created from original 2 track stereo.
