Mustela nivalis (least weasel)
(Mustela nivalis nivalis)
The least weasel is the world's smallest carnivore (weight 25-80 g). It is an efficient predator of voles and other small mammals, as it can hunt them in the burrows and under the snow during the long winters of north. The least weasel is common and abundant predator in northern hemisphere, but its numbers tends to fluctuate strongly and follow the population cycles of its main prey, voles and lemmings. The least weasel is special among other carnivores because of its great reproduction capacity: the litter size can be more than ten, a female can give a birth twice during the same season and young females can have their own litters during the season they have born.

I took a picture of the sky without sunglasses. It went about like this. I saw this orange rainbow-like gleam in the sky around the sun and just snapped one shot, and nothing came out. THEN i realize it was my shades.
so wheepee :) the birth of this coolpic.

Microscopic results of cysts from a cell culture in the G.G. Brown Building on the North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI on December 6, 2016.
Deb Gumucio, James Douglas Engel Collegiate Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology, and Jianping Fu's, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, research groups have collaborated to create an experiment in which embryonic stem cells form the beginning of the amniotic sac -- the protective membrane around a developing baby. Up until now, the only way to produce this tissue in a lab was to grow a whole embryo.

The University of Michigan (U-M, UM, UMich, or U of M), frequently referred to simply as Michigan, is a public research university in Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States. Founded in 1817 in Detroit as the Catholepistemiad, or University of Michigania, 20 years before the Michigan Territory became a state, the University of Michigan is the state's oldest university. The university moved to Ann Arbor in 1837 onto 40 acres (16 ha) of what is now known as Central Campus. Since its establishment in Ann Arbor, the university campus has expanded to include more than 584 major buildings with a combined area of more than 34 million gross square feet (781 acres or 3.16 km²) spread out over a Central Campus and North Campus, has two satellite campuses in Flint and Dearborn, and a Center in Detroit. The University was a founding member of the Association of American Universities.
Considered one of the foremost research universities in the United States, the university has very high research activity and its comprehensive graduate program offers doctoral degrees in the humanities, social sciences, and STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) as well as professional degrees in architecture, business, medicine, law, pharmacy, nursing, social work, public health, and dentistry. Michigan's body of living alumni (as of 2012) comprises more than 500,000. Besides academic life, Michigan's athletic teams compete in Division I of the NCAA and are collectively known as the Wolverines. They are members of the Big Ten Conference.

William Martin Dickson's life and career echo the familiar American theme of the self-made man. He was born at Lexington, Ind., in 1827 and lost his father, a farmer, at the age of 8. Despite financial hardship, Dickson managed to graduate from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio -- by sweeping out classrooms to pay tuition, according to family history. He then studied law while supporting himself as a schoolteacher and was admitted to the Kentucky bar in 1848. Over the next two years the ambitious young man put himself through Harvard Law School.
Returning to the midwest, he settled in Cincinnati and eked out a living as a teacher, tutor, and reporter for the Cincinnati Times. On October 18, 1852, he married Annie Marie Parker of Lexington, Ky., a first cousin of Mary Todd Lincoln.
Six months after his marriage, Dickson got his big break. Running as an underdog on the Independent ticket, he won election to prosecuting attorney of the Cincinnati police court. He resigned in April, 1854, to form a very successful law partnership with Alphonso Taft (father of the future President) and Thomas Marshall Key. At 31, he was appointed judge of the Common Pleas Court. Dickson maintained an active role in politics despite the fact that he never held elective office after his stint as public prosecutor. After serving as an Ohio presidential elector in 1860 he became part of inner Washington political circles, associating with Abraham Lincoln, Edwin M. Stanton, and Salmon Chase, and participating in the framing of the Emancipation Proclamation.
In the fall of 1861 Dickson became acquainted with General McClellan, who offered him a position as assistant judge advocate. Dickson declined the appointment, however, after learning first-hand of McClellan's timidity as a military leader and of his contemptuous attitude toward President Lincoln. A memoir of the entire episode written later in Dickson's life features colorful characterizations of McClellan and his circle, Lincoln, and the Washington scene early in the war.
Within a year of the war's end, Dickson, only thirty-nine, became ill from "nervous prostration." He removed himself from the legal and political scene, but maintained a keen interest which he expressed in his private correspondence and in essays and letters written for publication on such topics as reconstruction, black suffrage, and civil service reform. Dickson considered himself a genuine Republican, one of the founders of the party, and despaired at the corruption and machine politics which increasingly characterized his party during the Gilded Age of late nineteenth century America. A semi-invalid the last twenty-three years of his life, Dickson died October 15, 1889 in an inclined-plane railway accident in Cincinnati.
William Dickson combined worldly success and influence with personal avoidance of the spotlight. Whether due to illness or reclusive personality, he stayed on the sidelines rather than pursue a prominent military or political career, and became a most perceptive observer and critic of the leading political characters and movements of his day. His correspondents and personal associations were many, and included some of the leading figures of the era. Long-time friend George Curtis eulogized Dickson in Harper's Weekly as "one of that most valuable class of citizens who take the most active and intelligent interest in the observation of public affairs, which they seek to influence by the pen."
The Black Brigade of Cincinnati
During the summer of 1862, (a little more than a year after the start of the Civil War) the Confederate Troops were pushing further north than ever before. In August of that same year, citizens of Cincinnati, which was Ohio’s greatest metropolitan city at the time, felt the threat of war hit close to home. The Confederate troops had defeated Union troops in Richmond, Kentucky, and appeared to be moving further north into Ohio. Governor David Tod called upon all loyal Ohioans to help defend their southern borders. 15,766 white males reported for duty, and these minutemen earned the nickname "The Squirrel Hunters."
The Black Brigade of Cincinnati played a significant role in causing Confederate Troops to retreat. Yet, they aren’t given the same recognition as The Squirrel Hunters. This may be due to the fact the Civil War was considered a "white man’s war" until Abraham Lincoln’s emancipation of the slaves in September 1863. The Black Brigade consisted of 706 black males who were violently and brutally forced from their homes, work, and farms by Cincinnati Police. The forcefulness of the police is often blamed on Cincinnati Mayor George Hatch, who was rumored to have little opposition against the Confederate Army, and didn’t want help from the colored citizens. However, against Hatch’s wishes, General Lew Wallace ordered every able-bodied man to come together to protect the Queen City. The African- American men who were taken by the police were held overnight in a mule-pen with no way of contacting their families. The next day (Sept. 3) General Wallace appointed William Martin Dickson, a 34-year-old lawyer, to be in command of the Black Brigade. Dickson found his troops laboring at Fort Mitchell. They were weary, anxious about their families, and the cruel treatment they had received the night before. "Colonel" Dickson sent them home with orders to report back to him the next day at 5:00 a.m.
On September 4, approx. 700 black men reported for duty. These men served their community as if they had been formally sworn into the Army of Ohio. In reality however, these men were not an official military organization, but merely a working party that was divided into three small regiments and seventeen companies. These men marched under a flag bearing the name "The Black Brigade of Cincinnati," which is what they were called henceforth. The flag was the first to ever wave over colored soldiers helping to defend the free state of Ohio.
The men of the Black Brigade performed many jobs in defending Cincinnati. The main tasks they were in charge of were making military roads, digging trenches and riffle-pits, felling forests, and building forts and magazines. During their first week of service, The Black Brigade received no compensation for their labor. The second week they were given $1.00 per day, and the third week they received $1.50 per day. They never actually participated in combat; however, at one point they were only a mile away from the line of battle, unarmed, with only the cavalry between them and the Confederate troops. There was only one casualty among the Black Brigade, which was an accident that occurred while cutting down trees. By September 11, Confederate troops were retreating back into Kentucky. During a speech, General Wallace declared, "When the history of Cincinnati during the past two weeks comes to be written up, it will be said that it was the spades and not the guns that saved the city from attack by the Rebels."
By September 20, the Black Brigade was sent back home to their families. They presented Dickson with a ceremonial sword to thank him for his leadership and kindness. Colonel Dickson accepted the gift and led his troops through the streets of Cincinnati proudly, with music playing and banners flying.
After their service to the Black Brigade many of those men went on to become part of colored regiments for the Union Army. In fact, Powhatan Beaty, member of the Black Brigade was one of less than twenty African-American men to receive a Congressional Medal of Honor for his service and bravery in the U.S. Army.
