Answer
Bhawai dance?
Sounds unreal, yet it is as you say, a dance on glass with pots on the dancer's head.

The origin may be found in mythological times. The web site http://www.tamilstar.com/dance/history/ gives some hints and names an ancient text book:

"It all started with the Natya Shastra
Said to be written 2000 years ago by Bharata Muni, it is the seminal source book for dancers and performers. The mammoth book covers all technical and aesthetic aspects of the art of Indian Theatre and Dance.

See more references to Natya Shastra in this book."

My understanding is that the number of pots may refer to holy energy fields of ours (the numbers of holy fields addressed may change from culture to culture: 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, yet there are no more main holy energy fields than 13 - Dr. Bara H. Loveland) - that dancing on hurtful materials requires a great deal of spiritual discipline like yogis have, and that the movement and gestures are holy, stimulating our divine energy fields.

Hope you have a chance to see the dance!

Tips on analyzing photographs/paintings?I'm trying to analyze a painting I did for class and need some help?

41down

I have this one class called studio art and for one of our projects (self representation) we had various works, one of them including painting. I had 3 paintings and one of them went on to a larger scale.

In another class (cultural studies) the teacher asked us to write an analysis of our selected work. (The one that was done on larger format)

So here is the painting (My nails)

http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/8818/nailsct2.jpg

How do I analyze that? I have no clue what to do. We had some analysis work in class but usually stuff like advertisements that were easy like a woman for perfume and then about the way she is dressed and posing, but these are my nails and I have no clue what he wants me to write. (1 page)

Answer
Try and look at your picture in a new light. Leave your assignment for a week or so and then look at your painting again. Squint, see what sort of images it conjures up. When I look at it I see something being reborn. You could say something like that these nails, although they were unwanted by you, and cut off, that they represent something in their own right. Even though you're losing a piece of yourself, those nails still exist. You could compare it to someone dying. Although they're gone, and at face-value not a part of the world any more, the things they've done during their lifetime, their possessions, the little marks they've left behind from when they're alive still exist and help to preserve the character of that person. These little things they leave behind are truly unique, just like not one two people's finger nails are the same.

You may find this link interesting as it gives you a step-by-step guide on how to analyse a a painting. If you follow the steps you should have a comprehensive analysis about a page long!

2 red ear slider turtle problems?

nail art 85 image

dominicanl

I have one male red ear slider who is 1 1/2 and a female who is 2 weeks old I just put them in the same tank and I see he grabs after her. Is this safe? And is he trying to harm her or breed not knowing she is a baby?

Answer
take her out..
*** Ten gallons per inch of each turtle!!
How big is your tank?
***And my pictures don't lie. All ages and all sizes get along as long as their is allot for SWIM ROOM and PLENTY TO EAT!

They can become cannibalistic if you have 2 or more turtles and a small environment. They will kill off the smallest and then fight for the tank for themselves.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/29035692@N03/sets/72157617712499206/

Size for basic aquatic turtle is approx Body length: 6-8" is average for males, up to 12 inches max for females, but average is about 9 to 10â in captivity. Life span: 15-25+ yearâs plus. Males have the longer front nails and are used in mating. And are considered mature at about 5 yrs old.
***You canât start sexing till about 3â across.

Real mating happens in May through June and hatchlings within 90 days. Eggs are laid in soil. If laid in water they will die. Mating dance happens all year long with my 5 ! And are considered mature at about 5 yrs old..so no mating going on.
Provide the hatchling with a dry land area and a shallow water area. Newborns need to master the art of floating and staying underwater for long periods of time. Don't assume that they will survive only with water. Newborn red-eared sliders can actually drown if you neglect them a dry land area.
Once they are set up in their tank start feeding them. It is important to get them to eat. Start by offering them one by one all items on the proper slider diet. Note: You might have to 'chop' all of the food you offer since they are small babies. This includes chopping earthworms, meal
worms,guppies,minnows,goldfish crickets. I know, this sounds disgusting but believe me, you will get used to after a while and it won't bother you anymore.

As with adult sliders, newborns need to have their full spectrum light. So don't forget to include that in the tank. The full spectrum light will help the newborn shells to harden. Keep the water neatly clean. If you don't have a filter change the water every two days. This is very important since baby sliders are more prone to getting eye infections (that can leave them blind for life or even kill them) than adult sliders.

**Remember, you need a heater...set at 83 / 85 degrees. If water is cold they will stop eating!
TOSS in a bird cuttle bone in the water for calcium that will promote better shell growth, it will dissolve real slow and if they eat it thatâs fine

Tank set up for my Pregnant Painted turtle.?

****Austinsturtlepage.comâ has all info on care and feeding and PICTURES for all land and aquatic turtles.

Real mating happens in May through June and hatchlings within 90 days. Eggs are laid in soil. If laid in water they will die. Mating dance happens all year long with my 5 !

Size for basic aquatic turtle is approx Body length: 5-8" is average for males, up to 12 inches max for females, but average is about 9 to 10â in captivity. Life span: 15-25+ yearâs plus. Males have the longer front nails and are used in mating. And are considered mature at about 5 yrs old. You canât start sexing till about 3â across.


**Use a 30 gallon tank. Keep the water warm but shallow (About 5 inches), since during the mating the male might get so concentrated that he might forget that the female has to go out for breathing!.
**It is advisable during pregnancy to keep the female separate from the male, so that she will not get disturbed so much. You should handle her ONLY when absolutely necessary. Keep the water very clean and give her enough space. Heating is also very important as they will spend a lot of time basking to warm themselves and the eggs inside. You might notice a change in the appetite of the female, she might refuse to eat. This is normal. Nevertheless, continue offering her food and consider a dietary change, she might feel inclined to eat certain things only.
** Prepare a 20 gallon tank with about 4 inches of potting soil or soil/vermiculite mixture.

Laying eggs. The average gestation period is two months, but if she doesn't find a suitable place for laying her eggs, she might retain them inside. During the last two weeks you will notice that she will want to spend more time on land, sniffing and digging around in order to find a proper place for laying her leggs. At this point, you need to place the female in the nesting quarters. Try to watch her as much as you can to see where she lays the eggs. She might lay from 2 to 20 eggs.
**You should start to observe the eggs more carefully about 80 to 85 days after they had been laid. Hatching time is comming! Once the time comes, the hatchings will cut the egg shell with something called the egg tooth, which falls out about an hour later and never grows back. If they don't feel secure, they will remain inside their shells. Do not try to take them out until they have come out on their own. (they might not come out until the following day). Once they come out, you will notice a small sack hanging out of their bellies. This is the yolk sac that fed them while they were incubating. DO NOT try to remove this sac, trying to remove it can kill the baby turtle. It is better to wait that it drops on its own. Once it drops, you will notice a split in the plastron. This will heal by itself too, you don't need to treat it.
** Set them on a 20 gallon tank per dozen. Provide them with a dry land area and a shallow water area. Newborns need to master the art of floating and staying underwater for long periods of time. Don't assume that they will survive only with water. Newborn red-eared sliders can actually drown if you neglect them a dry land area. Once they are set up in their tank start feeding them. It is important to get them to eat. Start by offering them one by one all items on the proper slider diet. Note: You might have to 'chop' all of the food you offer since they are small babies.
