Ants are social insects of the family Formicidae (pronounced /fɔrˈmɪsɨdiː/) and, along with the related wasps and bees, belong to the order Hymenoptera. Ants evolved from wasp-like ancestors in the mid-Cretaceous period between 110 and 130 million years ago and diversified after the rise of flowering plants. More than 12,500 out of an estimated total of 22,000 species have been classified. They are easily identified by their elbowed antennae and a distinctive node-like structure that forms a slender waist.Like all insects, ants have six legs. Each leg has three joints. The legs of the ant are very strong so they can run very quickly. If a man could run as fast for his size as an ant can, he could run as fast as a racehorse. Ants can lift 20 times their own body weight. An ant brain has about 250 000 brain cells. Continue reading ‘Ant City’
So why does it feel like the weather is different from when we all grew up? The winters feel a little colder and the summers, at least this summer was off the charts. To some it is doomsday. Al Gore was given an Oscar. To others its the great media swindle by the tree hugging liberals. Somehow global warming can not be proven or altogether dismissed. The planet Earth has always gone through violent changes. If this was not the case dinosaurs would still be here. Can humans redirect the geophysical trajectory of the planet? Meteors did? There was once an Ice Age and Africa was attached to South America but that took a long time. A really long time. Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of Earth’s near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation. 
The Dalai Lama’s birthday was yesterday, and even though we missed it by thismuch, we’d still like to celebrate by airing an interview with the Lama’s favorite movie star, Bruce Lee! In this recently rediscovered interview, Bruce Lee appears with Pierre Berton, the Canadian Dick Cavett, who featured discussions with the famous and important names of the day. The interview was conducted in Hong Kong in December 1971. Here we see a Zen but passionate Bruce Lee exploring themes and concepts that are integral to the understanding of his best work. It’s a young man speaking candidly and informally about his life, his martial arts beliefs and his world philosophy. If you’re a fan of martial arts movies, or simply a curious beginner, take some time to meet the young Bruce Lee - the man behind the legend.
As the BP Oil Spill continues to pour into the Gulf of Mexico, emergency workers have been forced to perform a painful kind of environmental triage, concentrating on protecting marshes and inlets from the approaching BP oil slick and left one of the Gulf Coast’s biggest tourist attractions — its white-sand beaches — largely undefended. As BP struggled a mile underwater to cut and cap the blown-out well, the decision — made weeks ago by state and Coast Guard officials — to sacrifice parts of the shoreline came under fire from Alabama’s governor. “We could lose an entire tourist season because of this. It would be absolutely devastating,” Gov. Bob Riley vented. The state’s two coastal counties deliver 35 percent of its tourism dollars, mostly spending by beachgoers. In deciding to put the marshes first, emergency officials reasoned that they had enough time and containment boom to shield the gulf’s fragile ecology or its endangered economy, but not both. Also, they argued that beaches will be easier to clean, and harder to protect, because of the action of the waves against the floating barriers. Stay green and oil-free with TomorrowPictures.TV!

Bar Mitzvah literally translates to “Son of Commandment” and implies that the young man involved is now a responsible male. According to Jewish Law, every Jewish boy becomes a bar mitzvah at age 13. As a bar mitzvah, he becomes obligated by God’s commandments - as prescribed in the Torah and as interpreted by Moses, the Prophets, the Sages and the Rabbis. The bar mitzvah boy also becomes eligible to count in a prayer quorum (minyan), lead prayer services and testify before a religious court. A Jewish boy becomes a bar mitzvah automatically upon turning 13 years old. No ceremony is actually needed. However, in the 15th century, it became customary to mark the occasion of a boy becoming a bar mitzvah.

Medic was a groundbreaking television show that debuted in America in 1954 and ran for two years on NBC. Other television programs had taken place in hospitals before, but none had ever shown a realistic and medically accurate portrayal of disease and the people who fought to cure it. This episode of Medic, “A Time To Be Alive”, follows the story of Davey Stinson, a young boy with Hemophilia who takes a terrible fall. Special props go out to character actor David McMahon (best known as Crunch’s Dad in ‘Rebel Without a Cause’) for his gut-wrenching performance as young Davey’s father in this heart warming episode.
