Minute of Silence

On Feb. 11, Ukraine's parliament passed Bill No. 14144, formally establishing a daily nationwide moment of silence at 9 a.m. Kyiv time.

To show respect towards this decision and to keep alive memory of all those murdered, killed, tortured, injured &c. for unjust reasons during all senseless wars and atrocities of the past, present, and future, the counter for minute of silence is hereby activated in this room.

Thanks in advance for not disturbing this contemplative process.

Why Small Creatures Move Faster

Remember the pendulum: a longer pendulum swings more slowly. The same logic applies to limbs and wings, which behave like pendulums built out of muscle and bone.A short limb (or a short wing) is a "short pendulum" — it naturally wants to oscillate fast. A long limb is a "long pendulum" — it naturally wants to oscillate slowly.This is why small animals move in a blur and large animals move almost in slow motion — not because of effort, but because of size itself.
