Besides in science fiction, Herbert George Wells was a prolific writer in many other genres including contemporary novels, history, politics and social commentary, even writing text books and rules for war games. Together with Jules Verne and Hugo Gernsback, Wells has been referred to as "The Father of Science Fiction".
Results derived from data obtained by Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) are extensively used in many areas of physics. It has been claimed recently that the published WMAP calibrated data and maps might be in question because of an undocumented timing offset in the official processing pipeline [The origin of the WMAP quadrupole, Hao Liu, Shao-Lin Xiong, Ti-Pei Li]. This timing error was shown to induce a quadrupole pattern in the final maps that is very similar to the officially published quadrupole mode. It is clear that a timing offset at the map-making stage will strongly affect the quadrupole scale, since the map-making in [The origin of the WMAP quadrupole, Hao Liu, Shao-Lin Xiong, Ti-Pei Li] was based on the official WMAP calibrated TOD. But there is also a possibility that the calibration process itself could be affected as well and we test this here. In this work we approximately reproduce the original dipole-based iterative calibration procedure to produce a calibrated data set starting from raw uncalibrated data. Using the calibrated data we generate a set of sky maps that we compare to the officially released maps and note some differences between our and official results. We also investigate the effects of various timing offsets introduced in the calibration stage on the final products. We find that a timing offset in the calibration process has little effect on the calibrated data and induced quadrupole.

October is the season for BATS! Somewhere along in time, bats became associated with spooky things like Halloween. While many people are scared of bats, and they can be dangerous (you don t want them living in your home), they also can be highly beneficial. Bats feed on insects, and on fruits and nectar in tropical areas. There are blood-feeding ( vampire ) bats that feed mainly on cattle at night, but none occur in this country. In the Western Hemisphere vampire bats are found only from Mexico down to Argentina. Insect-eating bats, the most common bats in this country, consume up to ½ their weight in insects during a single night. Some cave colonies of the Mexican free-tailed bat contain up to 20 million bats and are estimated to consume 100,000 pounds of insects a night! Despite the many beneficial aspects of bats, they can be a serious problem when they choose our homes to live in. Accumulations of their droppings and urine eventually cause odor and staining problems, and attract
