Proverbios 29:20“Fíjate en la gente que habla a la ligera: ¡más se espera del necio que de esa gente!"Aunque tienen un tamaño menor a media pulgada de longitud (1.27 cm), estudios recientes han demostrado que las arañas saltarinas Habronattus tienen una vista que, de alguna manera, rivaliza con la nuestra. De hecho, pueden hacer algo que ni su mascota puede hacer - ver los colores.Según Nathan Morehouse de la Universidad de Pittsburg, "Los ojos de las arañas saltarinas no podrían ser más diferentes a los de las mariposas y las aves, y sin embargo las tres ajustan las sensibilidades del color con pigmentos que filtran la luz." Los científicos llaman a esto "filtrado espectral", y hasta ahora, nadie sospechaba que una araña sería capaz de aquello.Por supuesto, la revista ScienceDaily, salta a la conclusión de que la capacidad de ver colores de la araña saltarina "es un ejemplo notable de convergencia evolutiva." Según los evolucionistas, la evolución convergente es la evolución independiente de características similares en las especies que no están estrechamente relacionados. Por ejemplo, los evolucionistas nos dicen que insectos que vuelan, las aves y los murciélagos evolucionaron la capacidad de volar independientemente el uno del otro. Se dice que tuvieron que "convergir" en esta útil característica.No obstante, este término no explica nada en absoluto. Los evolucionistas no pueden demostrar, ni siquiera cómo un tipo de criatura evolucionó la capacidad de volar. El problema se complica aún más cuando tienen que explicar cómo evolucionó el vuelo tres veces en criaturas no relacionadas.La verdadera razón por la cual estas arañas saltarinas pueden ver el color es la misma razón que los murciélagos, mariposas y aves son capaces de volar. Porque su diseñador las hizo de este modo. Esto no es llegar a conclusiones precipitadas. Es simplemente creer la Palabra de Dios.Oración: Padre Celestial, gracias por dar a cada criatura lo que necesitan para sobrevivir, y gracias, sobre todo, por lo que me has dado a mí - la salvación a través de la sangre derramada de mi Salvador. En el nombre de Jesús, Amén.”Ref: "Las arañas saltarinas son las maestras de la visión a color en miniatura," ScienceDaily. Daniel B. Zurek, Thomas W. Cronin, Lisa A. Taylor, Kevin Byrne, Mara L. G. Sullivan, Nathan I. Morehouse. "El filtrado espectral permite la visión tricromática en las arañas saltarinas coloridas", Current Biology.

Kevin Byrne caught up with Ryan O'Rourke before his fight against Alex Vargas on April 17th was announced.O'Rourke is not easily dissuaded. At 26 years old and 13-0, with a promotional deal in the US with Star Boxing, the Dubliner's trajectory looks envious from the outside. But behind the record lies the exhausting reality of the professional game.In 2025 alone, Ryan saw four fights collapse. Inactivity? Check. Last-minute cancellations? Check. Opponents vanishing after the money and miles have already been spent? Check. Most people would have packed it in for a more reliable weekly wage, but Ryan is fueled by an inner drive that goes beyond the paycheck.Following the loss of his close friend John Cooney, Ryan is fighting for a legacy that transcends the sport's "BS." In this episode, we discuss his upbringing in Dublin, avoiding the capital's teenage pitfalls, and the decision to choose the ring over the football pitch. We also dive into the unique dynamic of being trained by his father, Steven, and his desire to ignite a massive domestic rivalry with Pierce O'Leary—a Northside vs. Southside "mill-up" with the potential to echo the legendary Gus Farrell v Ske Mullen battles of the 60s.

Beacon council to stop weekly schedule For the first time in more than 30 years, the Beacon City Council in 2026 will meet twice a month instead of weekly, beginning this month. For decades, the council held two workshops and two voting meetings each month. It will now meet at 7 p.m. at City Hall on the first and third Mondays of the month. The meetings are broadcast via Zoom and YouTube. Holidays force shifts from time to time. The second meeting this month will be held Jan. 20 because of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and the second meeting in February will be on Feb. 17 because of Presidents Day. The council has met most Mondays (except the fourth week in months with five Mondays) since 1992, the year before Mayor Lee Kyriacou began his first of nine terms as a council member. In 2024, it began meeting twice monthly in July and August, and last year added June. "In a way, [the summer schedule] was a pilot to see if it adversely affected our ability to progress needed council business," said City Administrator Chris White, who crafts the agendas with the city attorneys, Kyriacou and Deputy City Administrator Ben Swanson. There were no significant negative impacts, White said, but perhaps some positives. The council will begin each meeting with a workshop, at which votes are not taken. He said that the change will allow city staff to eliminate some repetition when briefing the council on agenda items. The flow from the introduction of an issue to discussion to voting also might be easier for the public to track, he said. And the shift allows community and/or council members flexibility to attend meetings of the Beacon school board, held on the second and fourth Mondays, or the Dutchess County Legislature, on the second Monday. "This could actually help with public engagement in some ways," Council Member Amber Grant said on Monday (Jan. 5). "Not having to keep track of four meetings a month could be helpful. It would be really great if people were tuning in to more of the workshop discussion," and not just when votes are taken. Kyriacou noted that council members would likely work the same number of hours. "I don't know why we do it the way we do it, since we're the only community that does that," he said. In Philipstown, the Town Board meets monthly. The Cold Spring Village Board meets four times per month, with three of them considered workshops. The Putnam County Legislature meets monthly. The Beacon council agreed on Monday to make one change for its combined meetings: Public comment will be held at 7 p.m., after the call to order, roll call and Pledge of Allegiance. If a community segment (such as a presentation) or a public hearing is on the agenda, it would come next. The workshop would follow, then the voting meeting, which always concludes with a second opportunity for public comment. There is a benefit to a predictable schedule of public comment every first and third Monday at 7 p.m., Council Member Paloma Wake said. Rather than "happening after a workshop that will go on for an indeterminate amount of time," it's important, she said, to "make sure that the public has clear access to make their opinions known." The council will schedule additional meetings as needed. In most cases, state law requires 72 hours' notice before a public meeting. In an emergency, notice is required "to the extent reasonably practicable," said City Attorney Christian Gates. However, Sergei Krasikov, the newly elected Ward 3 representative, wondered Monday whether combined meetings would compel the council to make hasty decisions. "Are we trying to find efficiencies? Are we embracing four-hour meetings? Are we embracing speeding through certain items?" he asked. "I would hazard a guess that probably by about April we'll have a discussion on 'How are we doing?' " Kyriacou said. In other business on Monday, the council reappointed Kevin Byrne, John Gunn David Jensen and James Vermeulen to the Planning Board. Gunn, who has been on the board ...

The first recorded powered flight lasted for 12 seconds and covered a distance of 120 feet. ICAO and IATA define ultra long-haul flights as routes lasting more than 16 hours, often spanning 13,000 kms or more. These nonstop journeys connect cities such as Singapore and New York or Perth and London During World War II, Qantas operated the aptly named “Double Sunrise” route, connecting Perth with Sri Lanka in a time of between 27 and 33 hours.
