This is the skull of “Java Man” (homo erectus). Eugene Dubois discovered it in 1891. This is a clear display of the ongoing search, and passion many scientists have that drive them to explore and investigate the history of the world. And analyze it in with the hope of finding scientific explanations for human curiosity regarding our heritage, ancestors and even the origin of life. The New York Times article we read this week states that, “experimental/observational methods all the natural sciences share, the social sciences increasingly adopt, and that naturalists devote themselves to making explicit. You can reject naturalists’ epistemology, or treat it as question begging, but you can’t accuse them of not having one.” Which explains how important and valid it is for all educated people to have a point of view and a purpose to their investigation.

The Java sparrow (Lonchura oryzivora), also known as Java finch, Java rice sparrow or Java rice bird, is a small passerine bird.[2] This estrildid finch is a resident breeding bird in Java, Bali and Bawean in Indonesia. It is a popular cage bird, and has been introduced in a large number of other countries. Some taxonomists place this and the Timor sparrow in their own genus Padda. The Java sparrow is about 15 to 17 cm (5.9 to 6.7 in) in length from the beak to its tip of tail feathers. Although only about the size of a house sparrow, it may be the largest species in the estrildid family. The adult is unmistakable, with its grey upperparts and breast, pink belly, white-cheeked black head, red eye-ring, pink feet and thick red bill.
Both sexes are similar. Immature birds have brown upperparts and pale brown underparts, and a plain head. Very young birds have a black beak with a pink base.
The call is a chip, and the song is a rapid series of call notes chipchipchipchipchipchip.
Molecular phylogeny indicates that this species may have originated in India and dispersed to Africa and Pacific Ocean habitats from there.
APRIL 25th, LONDON – Simon Maple, Robert Rees and The London Java Community meet for a session taking a tour of the Java class loading mechanism, both from JVM and developer point of view. Looking at typical problems that you get with class loading and how to solve them. See the SkillsCast (Video, code, slides) at: skillsmatter.com/podcast/java-jee/do-you-really-get-class...
