"While his first works seemed to bring little interest, his second series of photos of his wife brought him acclaim with his joyous and lively shots.

His greatest and last photobook was "Raven". Shot in Hokkaido in 1976 in the wake of his divorce, the gloomy and emotional photos are a sharp contrast to his earlier works. The enormous renown won by their release in 1986 then the American release ("The Solitude of the Raven") in 1991 was short lived as he fell down a flight of stairs while intoxicated and into a coma which he remains in today [as of 2005 writing].

The photobook he left behind is a triumph of photographic expressionism, a record of a man who turned inward, leaving behind pure images of personal grief."

Yerka studied art for a short time at University, but then learnt from direct study of Northern European masters, the Van Eycks, Dierck Bouts, Robert Campin, Bosch, and surrealists such as Magritte.

He did his first painting of his life a year before going to college, where he began studying graphics. His instructors always tried to get him to paint in the more contemporary abstract style, and move away from his fascination with realism. He saw this as an attempt to stifle his own creative style and steadfastly refused to fall in line. Eventually, his teachers relented.

His paintings are acrylic on canvas and carefully rendered, using images from his childhood, including his grandmother's kitchen. He also includes odd beasts and whimsical landscapes. He comments, "For me, the 1950s were a kind of Golden Age ... If I were, for instance, to paint a computer, it would definitely have a pre-war aesthetic to it."

Yerka's work has been exhibited in Poland, Germany, Monaco, France, and the United States. His works are also in Polish art museums.

The Asian giant hornet, Vespa mandarinia, also known as the Japanese hornet and known colloquially as the yak-killer hornet, native to temperate and tropical Eastern Asia. Its body length is approximately 50.8 mm (2.0 in), with a wingspan of about 76 mm (3 in). Queens may reach a length of 55 mm (2.2 in). Due to its size, it is known in Japan as the giant sparrow bee.

The giant hornets can invade a honey bee hive and kill off as many as 40 honey bees per minute. That means a couple of them can destroy a honey bee hive fairly quickly. The Japanese honey bee has developed a defense where they gang up on the invading giant hornet forming a ball around him, then they quickly vibrate their flight muscles increasing the heat in the ball until the heat kills the giant hornet. Some honey bees lose their lives in the process but it can save the hive.

Just one of those emails that goes around.


"In a zoo in California , a mother tiger gave birth to a rare set of triplet tiger cubs. Unfortunately, due to complications in the pregnancy, the cubs were born prematurely and due to their tiny size, they died shortly after birth.

The mother tiger, after recovering from the delivery, suddenly started to decline in health, although physically she was fine. The veterinarians felt that the loss of her litter had caused the tigress to fall into a depression. The doctors decided that if the tigress could surrogate another mother's cubs, perhaps she would improve.

After checking with many other zoos across the country, the depressing news was that there were no tiger cubs of the right age to introduce to the mourning mother. The veterinarians decided to try something that had never been tried in a zoo environment. Sometimes a mother of one species will take on the care of a different species. The only 'orphans' that could be found quickly were a litter of weanling pigs. The zoo keepers and vets wrapped the piglets in tiger skin and placed the babies around the mother tiger.

Would they become cubs or pork chops??
Take a look..."

Note: Actual story

The pictures are real but they were taken at the Sriracha Tiger Zoo in Chonburi, Thailand. That zoo offers carnival like exhibits as shown in the pictures. The grouping was for show only.
