Ottawa boy’s invisible invention

Ottawa boy’s invisible invention warns birds about deadly windows
Charlie Sobcov's window decals are clear and transparent to humans, but not to birds.

Eighth grader Charlie Sobcov wants to stop birds from dying in collisions with windows, but he doesn’t want to ruin anybody’s view.

For his latest school science fair project he has invented painted, plastic decals that can be placed — discreetly — right in the middle of a window pane.

“This paint is a colour that birds can see but humans can’t,” he said Wednesday on CBC Radio’s All in a Day. “It’s like putting a big stop sign in the middle of the window.”

The colour is ultraviolet, beyond the range of colours visible to humans. That means the “stop sign” lets birds know the window is solid, but is nearly invisible to humans.

Sobcov, who studies at the Turnbull School, a private school in Ottawa, said he first fell in love with birds while on a trip with his parents to Costa Rica four years ago. He learned that bird populations were decreasing around the world, and that many scientists were blaming global warming.

祝您 己丑牛年吉祥如意

聽說有一伙人在四處打聽你

還說逮住你不會輕饒你

他們一個叫財神

一個叫順利

領頭的叫幸福!

我問過煩惱了

它根本不愛你

還說永遠不理你

讓我轉告你不要自做多情!

還有健康 讓我帶封情書給你

它暗戀你好久了並且一生不變!

祝你:新年快樂 你這一年就會財源滾滾

Israel’s Top Leaders Weighing Their Next Steps in Gaza

January 13, 2009 · Leave a Comment

The talks in Egypt center on the question of how to keep Hamas from smuggling weapons across the Egypt-Gaza border. A senior Israeli official said Israel and Egypt are in basic agreement on a plan that would allow the European Union and the West Bank-based Palestinian Authority to share responsibility for monitoring the border and the crossing point at Rafah.

JERUSALEM, Jan. 12 — Israel’s leaders debated Monday how and when to bring their 17-day-old offensive in Gaza to an end, as battles continued to rage on the edge of Gaza City and as Israeli reservists flowed into the territory, ready for a possible deeper push into urban areas.


Speaking after a meeting with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, special Middle East envoy Tony Blair said that “the elements of an agreement” for a cease-fire were in place. But Israeli officials with knowledge of the talks said significant obstacles remained.
