"Indians are cockroaches, animals, illiterates and illegal go home”

Spoken by Police Union Members, spouse, friends & supporters under the PBA President Michael Shwartz from America 's ruling community to save a knuckle head Pat. Michael Dotro with a history of Racial Brutality against Indians. In 2006 to save Dotro; Edison TWP , ICE & New Jersey spent over $100,000.00 just to deport one Indian Rajnikant Parikh who complained against Dotro for Racial Brutality. They knowingly violated various State & Federal Laws including denying Fair and Open Trial even if Parikh was illegally in USA ; as mandated by Federal Laws. Recently Michael Dotro was charged with five counts of attempted murder and aggravated arson on May 20, 2013 for setting the Fire at the Monroe home of Edison Police Capt. Mark Adeko.
No Indian Leader worth the name in India and USA especially in New Jersey & New York has ever protested against these worst ever called Racial Epithets against Indians. Rather New Jersey Leaders have been honoring those who are responsible and those who called these racial slurs, publicly with community money.
It looks like all the so called Hindu Leaders are taking Racial Slurs as compliments and majority of them; has gone one step further and has declared that we are Pigs with thick skin & thick blood with no character. For these reasons our blood does not boil for such minor issues like Racial Slurs, Police Brutality, Murders under racial bias and Racial Discrimination against Indians.

this kind of cockroach i haven't seen one around. actually it was my first time seeing one. is this a new species hahhaha i can't stop saying i've found a new species. it has a very distinguished look like the other boring and scary cockroach. you can notice it has no wings, and that sporting backside part of his body i don't know what it is. is it the abdoment? he is very calm though. doesn't move fast and he doesn't fly, so i can take a closer look.
size is about the same with other cockroaches. found it at my homestay/boarding house.

One of our madagascar hissing cockroaches passed away last month due to improper handling at the pet store by the salesman. We imagine that it starved to death after being injured and unable to eat as it died about a month and a half after we got it and never seemed to act 'quite right'. I took the opportunity to photograph the eyes, which have dried out and are thus light tan instead of the normal a dark brown.

Blaberus giganteus nymph (Blaberidae)
TAXONOMY
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda (insects, arachnids, and crustaceans)
Class: Insecta
Order: Blattodea (cockroaches and the termites)
Family: Blaberidae (giant cockroaches)
GENUS/SPECIES: Blaberus giganteus
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS: They have three pairs of legs, and two pairs of wings, the forewings being light brown in colour. Largest neotropical cockroach by weight. A giant cockroach has a flattened, oval body, about 9 cm (3.5 inches) long and 4 cm (1.5 inches) wide. Females are slightly larger than males. They commonly run along the ground, although the adults have wings that are rarely if ever used for flight. They have long, very slender antennae and two sensory organs, called cerci, at the tip of the abdomen.
DISTRIBUTION/HABITAT: Central and South America. They prefer dark, damp locations such as caves, rock crevices, tree hollows, and spaces under loose tree bark.
DIET IN THE WILD: Cockroaches are omnivores and detritivores. Common diet includes bat guano, rotting wood, fruit, seeds, decomposing vegetation, dead insects, and other animals. They help recycle decaying matter on the ground into useful nutrients for plants.
MORTALITY/LONGEVITY: They can live about 20 months as adults.
REPRODUCTION: Females emit a pheromone that induces males to mate. Male courtship rituals include raising wings at right angles to abdomen and making trembling movements with abdomen. After mating, the female B. giganteus will be pregnant for life producing eggs which turn into nymphs which later become adults.
CONSERVATION: IUCN: Not Listed; CITES: Not Listed
Cockroaches dates back over 200-300 million years, and are very adaptable and resilient animals.
REMARKS: The leg bristles and antennae are used for seeing and feeling, in their dark habitat, while their flat bodies enable them to hide in crevices and underneath rocks. Cockroaches do not have lungs to breathe, but instead they take air in through spiracles, which are tiny holes on the sides of their bodies, and are used to send oxygen to other parts of the body. This allows the cockroach to survive for a period of time without its head, until it dies of infection, starvation or dehydration. When threatened, the giant cockroach is able to produce a foul smell to ward off predators.

Taro Okamoto.
He is a japanese avant-garde painter and sculptor.
His most famous statement is
'Art is an explosion!!'
I really respect him.
Last summer I went to the museum of Taro Okamoto in Tokyo. It was my first time that I looked at his paintings. It was so Amazing and Interesting. I was staring at them for a long time.
After that I just wanted to have a look to his workroom he used to use before that was opened to the public. I was looking some paintings and sculptures around the room. There was a silence and strong energy.
At that moment I was speechless.
I found something of a living being. It was a COCKROACH on his art work!!
I didn't know the reason why I was so touched, but I am sure by intuition, 'that is Art. That is his Art. That cockroach is HE!!'
Actually, he passed away in 1996. However I thought he was reborn
to be a cockroach which people often hate and scream when they find it. I understood that is Art.
It was sudden. The cockroach FLEW!!
It did such a big jump from his art work to on the floor!!
I was deeply moved.
It became my highlight to meet the cockroach last summer.
