Dù nổi tiếng và thành đạt nhưng đường tình duyên của nữ MC hải ngoại Nguyễn Cao Kỳ Duyên lại khá truân chuyên. Nguyễn Cao Kỳ Duyên nổi tiếng không chỉ bởi nhan sắc trời phú mà còn là một người phụ nữ tài năng. Thế nhưng thành công trong sự nghiệp bao nhiêu thì đường tình duyên của chị lại lận đận bấy nhiêu.
Cuộc hôn nhân với bác sĩ Nguyễn Quang Li - Nguyễn Cao Kỳ Duyên kết hôn lần đầu với bác sĩ người Việt ở Mỹ nổi tiếng Nguyễn Quang Li. Cuộc sống của cặp đôi khá sung túc và đầy đủ tuy nhiên cuộc hôn nhân không được bền vững bởi những bất đồng quan điểm của cả hai.
Bà Đặng Tuyết Mai - mẹ của Kỳ Duyên đã từng chia sẻ con gái và chồng xảy ra nhiều bất hòa trong cuộc sống bởi bác sĩ Nguyễn Quang Li quá vô tâm và khô khan. Thậm chí ông còn nhiều lần thoái thác đưa vợ đi diễn xa.
Có lần bà kể: “Mỗi lần con đi biểu diễn, mẹ đều đi đón thay vì chồng con. Lúc con đang có bầu đứa thứ hai lại đi nguyên một tour về, mẹ vừa lái xe vừa khóc nhưng không nói với con”.

Nữ MC thường xuyên chia sẻ hình ảnh của cô và bạn trai trên trang cá nhân cùng những dòng lời chú thích ngọt ngào. David Duy Hân luôn bên cạnh Kỳ Duyên trong bất cứ hoạt động nào - Ở bên nhau gần 10 năm, MC Kỳ Duyên cho biết, cô không tính chuyện kết hôn.
Mọi người nghĩ cần một tờ giấy kết hôn hoặc đám cưới để ràng buộc nhưng MC hải ngoại và người yêu lại gắn kết với nhau bằng chính sự thoải mái, cởi mở của mình. MC Kỳ Duyên hào hứng khoe, Duy Hân rất ga lăng, anh thường bảo cô rằng, "Em thích sao, anh chiều vậy. Thích lấy thì lấy, thích ở vậy thì cứ ở vậy" khiến cô không bị áp lực trong hôn nhân.

A piece of the moon sold at auction will now go on display at the Tam Chuc Pagoda Complex in Vietnam. The meteorite was blasted off the moon and traveled 384,400 kilometers to Earth. It was found in northern Africa last year and has been sold for more than $600,000, Boston's RR Auction House announced Friday.
The meteorite is affectionately known as "The Moon Puzzle," because it is made up of six fragments that piece together much like a jigsaw puzzle. The rocks, which weigh just under 5.5 kilograms, sold for $612,500, more than $100,000 higher than the estimated selling price.
A piece of the moon sold at auction will now go on display at the Tam Chuc Pagoda Complex in Vietnam.
...
...
RR Auction said the meteorite is the largest known complete lunar puzzle ever found and one of the most significant examples from the moon to be offered for sale. The auction house said the meteorite was blasted off the surface of the moon in the distant past, likely by the impact of a different meteorite, then journeyed the roughly 384,400 kilometers (238,800 miles) to Earth and survived a fiery descent through the atmosphere to be found in the deserts of northwestern Africa in 2017.
The meteorite's "partial fusion crust," which can be seen on one side, was caused by heat as it passed through Earth's atmosphere. The seller and buyer have not been identified, but the meteorite's new home will be the Tam Chuc Pagoda Complex in Vietnam's Ha Nam Province, one and a half hours south of Hanoi, according to the auction house. The meteorite will be put on display in one of the pagodas and will be open to the public.

The 14-km To Lich River, which runs through Ba Dinh, Cau Giay, Dong Da, Thanh Xuan, Hoang Mai and Thanh Tri districts is notorious for its pollution. The water in Ta Thanh Oai Commune, Thanh Tri District, has a black colour and foul smell after being polluted with all kinds of wastewater.
Nhue River, another polluted river runs through Ta Thanh Oai, also has black water. The high population density along Nhue River means a huge amount of domestic wastewater is discharged daily.
In Ha Dong District, Day River has also been polluted for years. Littering from the residents and the waste from the local plastic recycling facility are accused of destroying the river. The river also looks smaller than its actual size because of the huge amount of duckweed.
The To Lich, Set and Lu rivers are part of the city's drainage system. Yet both To Lich and Lu rivers are severely polluted. Rubbish can be seen floating on the surface of Lu River and the water is almost black. Sewerage and Drainage Company 4 had asked the residents to stop throwing rubbish into the river to no avail.

Being someone who doesent have the greatest chess history knowledge. I would lilke to know some opinions on who was the better of the two well known grandmasters.
But in all seriousness, this is a question that will be debated until the end of time. Just about everyone can agree that Kasparov and the real Fischer are the 2 greatest chess players of all-time, but there is no consensus on who is better.
If you're judging strictly by accomplishments, then Kasparov is better because he held the title for 15 years and took part in 8 World Championship matches. But then again, all one has to do is look at Fischer's brilliant games to see that he has a rightful claim as well.
My personal belief is that Kasparov is the greatest chess player to ever live. However, there is no denying that Fischer's accomplishments speak for themselves. He wrestled the title away from not just Spassky, but a Russian chess machine that many believed could not be overcome.
His match against Spassky was impressive, but his domination in the candidate matches was unprecedented. Many of his chess ideas persist today, especially in the openings.
It has been argued and may well be true that Fischer's level of domination over his contemporaries was greater than any World Champion before or since. This of course is highly debatable. But Fischer definitely turned the chess world upside down.
Kasparov is a better chessplayer because he had superior knowledge of the lines thanks to computers and an extra 20 years of chess lore. Kaspy could study Bobby but Bobby couldn't study Kaspy. There are a few researchy web sites that did studies about the ratings and rankings of dead masters based on their games.
"The consensus is that Capablanca used a computer". I've always supected as much. Even his name sounds like a computer progam. I strongly object that capablanca used computer, since chess not only moving the pieces with known variations but should have 30 ~ 40% intuition. He is a balanced player( talence&intuition).
Fischer won many of his games due to his extreme agressivity, making their opponent feel uncomfortable, and everyone knows that in chess that counts a lot.
Being someone who doesent have the greatest chess history knowledge. I would lilke to know some opinions on who was the better of the two well known grandmasters.
A German Expert once told Life Magazine" No other Master has such a terrific will to win. At the board he radiates danger and even the strongest opponents tend to freeze like rabbits when they smell a panther.
Even his weaknesses are dangerous. As White his opening is predictable you can make plans against it but so strong that your plans never work. In the middle game his precision and invention are fabulous and in the end game you simply can't beat him"
He ate and dreamed Chess Fischer worked harder than anyone at becoming World Champion hey I don't agree with his racist views but I respect what he did for the game and his achievements.
Bobby fischer has better playing tactics and board vision, BUT Kasparov could play the opponent better, which often times wins the game when you have grandmasters playing each other! As much as I love Bobby fischer's original and very effective style of play, Kasparov has the edge, even though I don't think its by much!
I am from Brazil, Fischer became world chess champion in 1972. I was a just a boy, (14) and I never had heard about chess before B. Fischer. I remember that the cars stopped on street when the radio transmitted the moves of the match Fischer against Spassky.
Since that time I interested myself about chess, I went to the book store and I found the Fischer's book named "Bobby Fischer teaches chess" . This book is very nice for the beginners, but unfortunately I am trying to learn chess until today :)
It is tough to tell for sure but i would say Kasparov by a very small margin on the ground that he did his reasurch like none had done before and every one else had to get it right to beat him thats y GM's are so good and well propared not only in the opening but right through to the later middle game..But fischer had a greater understanding of the subtles then kasparov i think so again its not an easy answer really both brilliant and ahead of their time...
First , let me admit my extreme bias for Fischer, as I was drawn into chess due to the Fischer/Spassky match of 1972. Having said that I would like to point out the fact that both Spassky and Petrosian (the late Tigran) both have equal records against Kasparov and Petrosian had black in all his games against Kasparov. We all know what Fischer did to these two so how can anyone seriously ask this question? :-)

The Question of who is best Fischer or Kasparov can never be answered. Due to a different era in chess. Also it is unfair to compair the two players. Its like saying who was best between Morphy and Fischer or Morphy and Kasparov.
To be fair you have to say they both are chess greats like other chess Greats. Let's not compair the two but admire their great chess Games they played and there chess achievements thorough out there careers.
The Games of R J Fischer and off G Kasparov are there gift to the chess world for our pleasure and for our chess studies. The chess world owes a debt of thanks at the brillient games the two players have left us. as so for other great chess games played by other great chess grandmasters and masters of the game of chess.
We all have our all time faviourite chess players. But so like many others chess learners I was inspired to learn the game of chess by Watching the 1972 world chess championship and Bobby Fischer win.
Also there will be chess learners inspired to learn from watching G Kasparov so lets not say who is best. Lets just give them both the credit for there achievements in there era off their best chess playing days.

Champa was formed in ad 192, during the breakup of the Han dynasty of China, when the Han official in charge of the region established his own kingdom around the area of the present city of Hue.
Although the territory was at first inhabited mainly by wild tribes involved in incessant struggles with the Chinese colonies in Tonkin, it gradually came under Indian cultural influence, evolving into a decentralized country composed of four small states, named after regions of India—Amaravati (Quang Nam); Vijaya (Binh Dinh); Kauthara (Nha Trang); and Panduranga (Phan Rang)—whose populations remained concentrated in small coastal enclaves. It had a powerful fleet that was used for commerce and for piracy.
In about ad 400 Champa was united under the rule of King Bhadravarman. In retaliation for Cham raids on their coast, the Chinese invaded Champa in 446, bringing the region under their suzerainty once again. Finally, under a new dynasty in the 6th century, Champa threw off its allegiance to China and entered into an era of great independent prosperity and artistic achievements.
The centre of the nation began to shift from north to south; around the middle of the 8th century Chinese sources cease to mention Lin-yi and begin to refer to the kingdom as Huan-wang, a Sinicization of the name of the northernmost province, Panduranga (Phan Rang).
In the late 8th century the Chams were distracted by attacks from Java, but in the 9th century they renewed their pressure on the Chinese provinces to the north and the growing Khmer (Cambodian) Empire to the west.
Under Indravarman II, who established the Indrapura dynasty (the sixth in Champan history) in 875, the capital of the country was moved back to the northern province of Amaravati (Quang Nam), near present Hue, and elaborate palaces and temples were constructed.
In the 10th century the Vietnamese kingdom of Dai Viet began to exert pressure on Champa, forcing it to relinquish Amaravati in 1000 and Vijaya in 1069. Harivarman IV, who in 1074 founded the ninth Cham dynasty, was able to stave off further Vietnamese and Cambodian attacks, but in 1145 the Khmers, under the aggressive leadership of Suryavarman II, invaded and conquered Champa.
Two years later a new Cham king, Jaya Harivarman I, arose and threw off Khmer rule, and his successor, in 1177, sacked the Cambodian capital at Angkor. Between 1190 and 1220 the Chams again came under Cambodian suzerainty, and later in the 13th century they were attacked by the Tran kings of Vietnam, as well as by the Mongols in 1284.
By the late 15th century, incessant wars of aggression and defense had for all practical purposes wiped out the Champa kingdom; one by one their provinces were annexed until Champa was entirely absorbed in the 17th century.
Its end marked the demise of the only culture of mainland Asia with Oceanian features. Cham painting is known only from the inscriptions on the temples. Cham sculptors, under the influence of Indian Gupta art, evolved a very personal style, characterized by forms springing with wild energy. Architecture generally was confined to tiered brick towers.

Catting around hot porridge - Meaning: To walk like a cat around hot porridge. We don't beat around the bush, while Swedes pussyfoot around a hot bowl of porridge. This means to avoid directly addressing something or neglecting to speak your mind.
Is there any difference in tactics between chess and Chinese chess? If so, which one is the most fun? What are the important things to learn from it?
Douglas Crockford has written an accurate overview of Chinese Chess (or Xiangqi) from the perspective of a chess player. I quote the following:
The Board - Xiangqi can be played on a 9 by 10 uncheckered board. The board is separated into two territories by a river running horizontally through the center of the board. Bishops are unable to cross the river. Pawns gain the ability to move horizontally when they cross the river. Each of the territories has a 3 by 3 area called the Palace. The kings and queens are never permitted to leave the Palace.
Pieces - The king (or general) can move one square horizontally or vertically. The king is restricted to the nine squares of the palace. The King cannot leave the Palace, even to avoid checkmate. Kings act as rooks for the purpose of checking: If the two kings are in the same file, there must be at least one blocking piece between them. There is no castling.

The queen (or guard) moves one square diagonally (as in Shatranj). A queen cannot leave the Palace, even to prevent checkmate. Queens are restricted to five of the nine squares in the Palace. Each side has two queens.
The bishop (or elephant or minister) moves exactly two squares diagonally (as in Shatranj), but cannot jump. Bishops cannot cross the river. There are only seven squares that a bishop can occupy.
The knight (or horse) moves like the Chess knight, except that it cannot jump. It moves one square vertically or horizontally, and then one square diagonally.
The rook (or chariot or car) moves like the Chess rook. It can go any number of spaces vertically or horizontally. The pawn (or soldier) moves one space forward only. Unlike the pawn in Chess, this pawn does not capture diagonally. It does not have the option to go two on its first move. There is no en passant capture.
There is no promotion of pawns into queens. However, once the pawn crosses the river, it acquires the power to move sideways. The pawn can never move backwards. Each side has five pawns.
The cannon is unique to Xiangqi. It is the only piece which moves differently than it captures. The cannon moves likes a rook. It captures by moving like a rook with a jump over one piece. There must be exactly one piece of either color between the cannon and the piece it captures. The intervening piece is called the gun mount or screen.
Check and Checkmate are the same as in Chess. Stalemate is a win, not a draw. You cannot avoid defeat by forcing a stalemate. Perpetual check and other repetitions are not allowed.
As someone who has played both games, I would say that Xiangqi is more fluid because you are able to move every single piece on the get-go, meaning that there are more variations in the opening move.
You can be aggressive by placing your cannon behind the centre pawn or you can be defensive by placing an elephant there. The good thing about not having a row of pawns in front is that you can deploy your chariot in two moves to control the river where early battles will be fought mainly with lower value pieces such as horses and soldiers.
The middlegame strategy usually involves positioning a number of your attacking pieces to exploit your opponent's weakness, perhaps at the flank. Opportunities can be created when you are attacking your opponent, forcing your opponent to move his defensive pieces like the guard and the elephant to the centre, cutting off his more powerful pieces from coming to the rescue.
Other strategies involves deploying double cannons at the centre column or placing them at the last row, effectively forcing the opponent's king out into the open. If both sides are equally matched, then the endgame would be played where fewer pieces are left on the board.
The position of the king becomes very important at this stage if there are no chariots on either side. The king who dominates the centreline would limit the other king's movement to just three squares, or a third of the palace if the opponent's king is exposed.
In conclusion, I would say that there are more similarities than differences between Chess and Chinese Chess. Those who are good at Chess would naturally be good in Chinese Chess and vice versa.
Strategies used in Chess can certainly be adapted to Chinese Chess as long as you have a flexible mind and can be creative with your attacks and defenses. For those who have not play Chinese Chess, do try it. It is fun.
Chinese chess appears to be more difficult, or at least more subtle, because the powers of the pieces are generally less than in western chess.
Only the Chinese chariots are the equivalent of the western rooks. The Chinese horses are almost equal to the western knights, except that they can be "hobbled" in certain instances.
The "jumping" properties of Chinese elephants and cannons make them less useful than western bishops, and there is no equivalent of the western queen with the combined powers of rooks and bishops.
Chinese pawns are slightly more powerful than western pawns, after they cross the river, but there is no promotion mechanism on eighth rank (and no queens to promote them to).
To compensate, the Chinese king is confined to a nine square "palace," but western kings try to achieve the same "fortress" protection by castling, at least early to mid game.
I played International chess in childhood rather well, now I play only Japanese shogi and Chinese xiangqi. Xiangqi has triple and even quadruple check and many new tactics connected with Cannon.
Cannon can make double threat by moving other piece on the board, Cannon makes double pins, can protect or attack pieces like X-ray through two pieces, double checks are much more common than in chess.
And xiangqi has more space for shifting pieces, penetration into an enemy camp. Xiangqi has flanking trio rule and so on. Other type of tactics based on the features of the movement of figures and is associated with the blockade. In chess, only a pawn is directly blocked.
In xiangqi almost all pieces block each other, or are blocked by space features like river and palace.As well xiangqi has a lot of mating formulas based on the before mentioned facts.
I played international chess a lot, learning chinese chess now. Here is my impression. Intl chess peices are much more mobile. Queen in intl chess has no matching piece in chinese chess. Rooks are equal. Knight in intl chess is better (at worst - equal) than in chinese chess.
King in chinese chess is way less mobile. "Defending pieces" (king, advisors and elefants) smother your king very often. A spot in front of the king is a trap. By moving there you block your advisors. Castling is a good idea in intl chess, but in chinese chess king shouldn't move.
On average, at a given position less squares are under attack in chinese chess. Hence, you can put your room in enemy lines. If you do this in intl chess you will lose your valuable piece (see catch ing enemy queen puzzles).
Brinning a game to a draw is easier in intl chess. This is because two kings cannot stand on the line of sight and because they cannot leave their cartle. Thus, obvious draws (King +pawn or King+knight vs King) in intl chess are wins in chinese chess.
Cannon piece is has no analog in intl chess and is hard to get used to. In intl chess as the game progresses the value of king increases. King is supposed to be passive in midgame, but become active in king+rook+pawn vs king+rook type ending.
In chinese chess game progress impacts knight vs cannon values the most. In early game cannon>>knight. In late game knight >cannon. Great answers so far. There's a few factors that I want to add as a Westerner who has played occasionally in China.
(1) Stalemate doesn't exist. Power to the strong! The resource of pat which makes western endgames interesting right to the end doesn't exist in Chinese Chess.
(2) The analogies to western 50 move draw rule are very complicated and situational, and I've never got my head around them.
(3) Some of the pieces are quite weak compared to their western counterparts, but cannons and the superpower whereby two generals can't face one another on the same open file are uniquely powerful and it's always fun to play with these rules. Quadruple checks rule!
(4) Finally and most importantly over the last few years a new rule has revolutionized Chinese chess as it's played in the neighbourhoods. The 15 pieces for each side excluding the general are turned upside down at the beginning of the game and shuffled.
They are then randomly placed on the same squares as the normal starting units, and then they all move like pawns, their identity only being revealed when they capture or are captured themselves.
The general begins face up on his normal square. Even the owner is not allowed to peek to see what unit really is. This is like a cross between Fischer 960 chess and "morphs" from Magic the Gathering, and adds a lot of excitement to the game, particularly for the spectators who often crowd round the outdoors games.

Cleavers as a Spring Tonic - In 1652, Nicholas Culpepper wrote this of cleavers: “It is a good remedy in the Spring, eaten (being first chopped small, and boiled well) in water-gruel, to cleanse the blood, and strengthen the liver, thereby to keep the body in health, and fitting it for that change of season that is coming.” Cleavers is known as being a traditional spring tonic for a couple of reasons.
First, cleavers is what herbalists refer to as an alterative. Alteratives are herbs that gradually restore the proper function of the body and increase health and vitality. They move us toward better health.
One of the ways that alteratives can work is by improving the body’s ability to eliminate waste through the kidneys, liver, lungs, or skin. Cleavers does this through the kidneys–it is a diuretic (it facilitates or increases urination.)
Another reason cleavers is a great spring tonic is because it helps to improve lymphatic flow, which is important for a healthy immune system. After a long, cold winter, fresh spring cleavers is just the thing to get the lymph moving and eliminating waste and toxins from the body.
Cleavers is a gentle mover that is generally safe for most people and gentle enough to use frequently. When using cleavers (especially as food,) you will find the tips produced in early spring before it flowers are more tender and palatable.
You can add cleavers to any of your cooked dishes, just as you might add some chopped fresh basil or oregano. I’ve experimented with this a bit, adding it to my soups and grain dishes. Although cleavers has a bit of a “green” taste when eaten raw, it mellows nicely when added to cooked dishes.
I added 1/2 cup of minced cleavers to a big pot of soup and it was delicious! I’ve also added it to a pot of brown rice as it was cooking. It was an easy and delicious way to incorporate this herb into a meal.

Cleavers – Galium aparine - There are young cleavers shoots coming up now in July. A sure sign we need this plant during winter to help clear and keep our lymphatic system in good shape and to purify our blood.
This plant is also known as biddy-bid, clivers, goosegrass or sticky willy. Cleavers is a scrambling, weak stemmed annual considered a nuisance because it can grow up through and smother other plants. The stems and leaves cling to neighbouring plants by hook-like stiff hairs – they feel rough and scratchy to touch.
It is said velcro was developed from studying this plant. The seed pods are densely covered in hooked bristles too that stick to fur, wool and clothing for dispersal as in the photo right.
When the seed pods are mature and they’ve turned brown and dry they can be lightly roasted as a caffeine-free coffee substitute. Interestingly cleavers and coffee are relatives in the same Rubiaceae plant family.
the botanical name for Cleavers is Galium which is Greek for milk. The curdling property of the leaves has had a longtime use in cheese making, particularly in Cheshire, England, where some of the finest cheeses are made.
In China the young leaves and stems are cooked to make a nourishing vegetable dish and it is even considered a weight reducing vegetable.
Cleavers might be considered a weed to get rid of but before you throw it all on the compost heap it has some outstanding beneficial uses. It is one of the best cleansing tonics known that helps purify the blood, the lymphatic system, including spleen, thymus, throat and mammary glands and kidneys.
A useful aid in the recovery from many types of infections. Even for horses and for optimum udder health for milking cows, fresh or dried. (You can see I’ve been reading Horse & Pony magazine relating to herbal health for animals).
Removes toxins from the body because it acts as a diuretic and a diaphoretic helping stimulate perspiration and sweating. High quantity of Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid), and is rich in minerals especially silica, needed for nails, hair and teeth, so it is an excellent plant to include in your smoothie along with cool weather weeds like chickweed, red dead nettle & speedwell.
Can be dried for use as a refreshing tea with strong purifying and cleansing tonic properties. Cut up finely and added to soup it would add silica and its other beneficial properties.
I love this photo of cleavers I took with the sun shining to illuminate the hooks on the seed pods and leaves. This is a wonderful plant growing now in the cooler months for and health and that of our animals.
Hi Julia, how timely this post is. I have been looking for some savory snacks and here you are with your marvelous healthy meat balls. I will make them small so I can just take one when I feel like one.
I have gone out to look for cleavers, just like an easter egg treasure hunt and I did find some. So I will know what I am doing tomorrow. Thanks again for a great post and the photo of your colorful salad is delightful, who would have thought weeds can be so beautiful?
HI Wilma, I love the image of your going out for an Easter Egg hunt to find cleavers!! The meatballs are a great snack and they freeze really well. I make a big batch eat some for breakfast and freeze some – and what I love is that they hold together so well without flour or egg or anything just meat and vegetables.
I keep a lid on the pan when I cook them as the water comes out of them and they shrink, then they cook in the liquid and you have to watch that they don’t dry out and get over cooked. I’m getting the hang of making them now. Have fun! Thank you for writing – weeds are so beautiful. My interest and love for them keeps growing!
I just wanted to comment about my experience with cleavers. Up until about 8 years ago I would get the flu every winter; it would follow the same pattern and the full course would last about 2 weeks. Then some naturopath friends told me about cleavers.
One said to make tea with the leaves, the other said to take 25-30 tips (about 8 cm) and soak in cold water over night, then drink in the morning. I chose to do that, and have never had the flu again. And it is a delicious drink to begin the day.
That is fantastic feedback – thank you so much for writing to tell me!! It is such a good cleanser and obviously helped you cleanse and then not need to get the flu!! May I share your experience with others? It would be something very inspiring for people to hear.

Jonathan Livingston Crab - These days it’s normal to announce your pet’s birthday or adopt-iversary online. But it’s definitely not common for the number to be 40—especially if that pet is a hermit crab.
Many people have bought hermit crabs at boardwalk souvenir shops on beach vacations, once or maybe twice. The little crabs come in wire cages and often wear tackily-painted seashells, and most die after just a few weeks.
Carol Ann Ormes purchased her hermit crab in the summer of 1976, but the big difference between hers and everyone else’s is that Jonathan Livingston Crab is still going strong in 2016. As far as anyone knows, Jonathan holds the longevity record for a hermit crab in captivity.
Other hobbyists refer to Ormes with terms like “legend” and “the crab queen.” And in response to Jon’s anniversary announcement, in August, Ormes got dozens of replies of congratulations, both from online and real-life friends, including ones who were with her on that beach vacation at the Delaware shore four decades ago.
Before that fateful trip to the beach, she’d never even heard of hermit crabs. When a fellow traveler told Ormes about how the creatures could change seashells, she was intrigued. Yet when that friend actually bought one, it wasn’t exactly love at first sight.
“He was kind of strange,” says Ormes. And their other friend was terrified of him: “When we’d get back from dinner or something, she’d say, ‘You two go in first!’”
By the end of their two-week vacation, though, Ormes had decided she needed a hermit crab for herself. They stopped at a shop in Ocean City, Maryland, and bought Jon on their way home.
When Ormes got Jon, there were no resources where she could research how to care for him. In fact, those little cages they come in are pretty much certain death, because they don’t retain enough moisture.
Now you can buy heaters, thermometers and hygrometers to monitor the environment for cold-blooded pets, but she didn’t have any of that. “I could tell by putting my hand in there whether it was moist enough or warm enough,” she says.
Ormes figured out what was needed on her own by instinct and experimentation, starting with buying a glass tank and covering the bottom with fine gravel. At the same store where Ormes bought Jonathan Livingston Crab a new cage she also bought him a female companion.
Crab Kate was with them for 35 years until she passed away in 2011. Zoos only started keeping statistics for invertebrates recently, but the lifespan of both crabs is believed to be record-setting.
Ormes’ professional background likely helped, too: she spent 38 years as chief of microbiology at a Washington-area hospital, and she’d worked with rats, mice, frogs, and toads.
“I loved all those bugs, the frogs we used to have in the summer that barked like dogs,” she says. “I was primed for it.” She was comfortable with a pet that needed proper humidity more than cuddling, and she was also okay with some of the other odd aspects of living with invertebrates.
Later, though, she discovered that Jonathan Livingston’s name was a bit off the mark. “They were both females, but I’ve never told Jon that,” she says. “You don’t know that till they get older.”
Jon was already almost 20 when Ormes retired and got her first computer. Her fame spread as she got online and started to connect with other hermit crab lovers all over the world, sharing her advice on care and feeding.
For a while she helped run an online club, where she would chronicle the suspense of Jon and Kate’s molting process—a delicate time for hermit crabs, and often their downfall if the right conditions aren’t provided. The club is no longer active, but Ormes still sends around emails when Jon molts. In 2014 she wrote:
“This morning before breakfast I had the feeling that I should peek into Jonathan’s molting tub. And there he was, out from under his slate roof and almost finished eating the egg shell that I had put in there before he dug under.
He looks absolutely beautiful, a very shiny toasty brown with furry (golden) legs and sharp toe points. He has new eye stalks and antennae along with his new legs and claws and upper body. His green turbo seashell is nice and shiny because he was in very fine gravel this year and not coconut fiber which takes the shine off his seashells.”

But it’s not just other crab fans who’ve ended up coming along for the ride. Karen Riecks, who’s known Ormes since the 1990s, remembers getting emailed photos of the crabs each time they molted and moved to new shells.
“I even went to a sea shell store with Mom Carol Ann to pick out possible new shells for her two babies,” she says. When Ormes retired and moved to Florida, Riecks offered to drive the crabs to Florida when Ormes was having trouble arranging for them to fly. And even the terrified friend from their beach trip has cared for Jon and Kate while Ormes traveled.
Her online renown has led to surprising encounters. One time, at the Delaware shore, she was showing pictures of her crabs to the staff at one of the shops when a customer came in and asked if she could see them too. “She started looking at them, and then she looked at me and said, ‘Are you Carol of Crabworks? I just wrote to you yesterday,’” Ormes says. “She was another crab person from Pennsylvania.”
At the community in Florida where she lives now, Jonathan Livingston Crab is well known, although people are sometimes a bit confused about what exactly he is. “People will say ‘How is your hermit frog? How is your snail? I’m sorry, I don’t mean snail, I mean your shrimp,’” Ormes says.
People who come to the apartment always ask to meet him, and he gets out to socialize too. She does presentations where she shows the tiny shells he lived in as a baby, then dramatically unveils him so people can see his current size.
Recently he went on a visit to the community’s call center. “Everyone outside of that office came to see him,” she says. “He walked everywhere, even on their desks and keyboards and cables.”
Julie Smith, a neighbor, says, “I just love when she walks Jonathan down the corridor to come to visit. It’s truly amazing to see him scurrying around the apartment.” And when Crab Kate died, a neighbor saw her looking around for a burial site: “He said, ‘it would be an honor for me to have her buried in my garden.’”
Jon’s great age is an amazing accomplishment, but can you really have a relationship with a crab? Ormes says Jon can tell her apart from other people, and he clearly seeks out her company. “He follows me places.
When I’m out on the lanai [enclosed porch] on my computer he comes out there and climbs on my feet, if I go to the morning room he comes out there and walks around the table,” she says. “If I go out and leave him out of his tank, I come home and he’s at the front door.”
Ormes thinks that all that exercise outside the tank is one of the factors that kept her crabs healthy for so long. These days, Jonathan Livingston Crab keeps her active too, since he likes to get under the furniture. She’ll be 80 at the end of October, and, she says, “I still have to crawl around on my hands and knees looking for him.”
It’s one of the many things they’ve shared over the years—and his 40th anniversary treat was another. He got a lobster tail that he ate out of her hand. “He likes the exoskeleton part. He doesn’t want the meat,” she says. “I get to eat the meat.”
