The black-rumped flameback known as the lesser golden-backed woodpecker or lesser goldenback, is a woodpecker found distributed in the Indian subcontinent. It is one of the few woodpeckers, it has an undulating flight. It is the only golden-backed woodpecker with black rump; the black-rumped flameback is a large species at 26–29 cm in length. It has a typical woodpecker shape, the golden yellow wing coverts are distinctive; the rump is black and not red as in the greater flameback. The underparts are white with dark chevron markings; the black throat finely marked with white separates it from other golden backed woodpeckers in the Indian region. The head is whitish with a black nape and throat, there is a greyish eye patch. Unlike the greater flameback it has no dark moustachial stripes; the adult male has crest. Females have a black forecrown spotted with red only on the rear crest. Young birds are like the duller. Like other woodpeckers, this species has a straight pointed bill, a stiff tail to provide support against tree trunks, zygodactyl feet, with two toes pointing forward, two backward.

The long tongue can be darted forward to capture insects. Leucistic birds have been recorded. Two specimens of male birds from the northern Western Ghats have been noted to have red-tipped feathers on the malar region forming a malar stripe. A female specimen from Lucknow has been noted to have grown an abnormal downcurved hoopoe-like bill; the race in the arid northwestern India and Pakistan, has pale yellow upperparts, a long crest and whiter underparts than the nominate race of the Gangetic plains. The upperparts have less spots, they prefer to breed in old gnarled tamarisks and Dalbergia trunks. The nominate populations is found across India in the low elevations up to about 1000 m. Southern Peninsular form puncticolle has the throat black with small triangular white spots and the upper parts are a bright golden-yellow; the subspecies found in the Western Ghats is sometimes separated as tehminae and is more olive above, has fine spots on the black throat and the wing-covert spots are not distinct.

The southern Sri Lankan population treated as a subspecies D. b. psarodes has a crimson back and all the dark markings are blacker and more extensive. It hybridizes with the northern Sri Lankan race jaffnense; the Sri Lankan race psarodes is sometimes considered a distinct species although it is said to intergrade with jaffnense near Puttalam and Trincomalee. This flameback is found on the plains going up to an elevation of about 1200m in Pakistan, India south of the Himalayas and east till the western Assam valley and Meghalaya and Sri Lanka, it is associated with open cultivation. They are seen in urban areas with wooded avenues, it is somewhat rare in the desert region of Rajasthan. This species is seen in pairs or small parties and sometimes joins mixed-species foraging flocks, they forage from the ground to the canopy. They feed on insects beetle larvae from under the bark, visit termite mounds and sometimes feed on nectar; as they make hopping movements around branches, they conceal themselves from potential predators.

They adapt well in human-modified habitats making use of artificial constructions fallen fruits and food scraps. The breeding season is between February and July, they drum during the breeding season. The nest hole is excavated by the birds and has a horizontal entrance and descends into a cavity. Sometimes birds may usurp the nest holes of other birds. Nests have been noted in mud embankments; the eggs are laid inside the unlined cavity. The normal clutch is three and the eggs are elongate and glossy white; the eggs hatch after about 11 days of incubation. The chicks leave the nest after about 20 days. In Sri Lanka these woodpeckers go by the generic name of kæralaa in Sinhala. In some parts of the island, it is called kottoruwa although it more refers to barbets; this bird appears in a 4.50 rupee Sri Lankan postal stamp. It appears in a 3.75 Taka postal stamp from Bangladesh. Photos and videos

Alexander Langsdorf Jr. was an American physicist on the team that developed the atomic bomb and several devices related to nuclear physics. He was a vocal opponent of the proliferation of nuclear weapons. Langsdorf was born in Missouri, he earned an undergraduate degree from Washington University in St. Louis in 1932 and a doctorate in physics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1937. In this time he developed a continuously sensitive cloud chamber. After a research fellowship at the University of California at Berkeley, he became a physics instructor at Washington University in St. Louis from 1939 to 1942. Prior to World War II, Langsdorf co-developed a cyclotron for splitting atomic particles at Washington University in St. Louis, it was designed for use in medical research. During World War II, he worked with Enrico Fermi at the University of Chicago on the Manhattan Project. Langsdorf was one of the designers of the first two nuclear reactors after Fermi completed the first sustained nuclear chain reaction in 1942.

Langsdorf was able to produce a tiny usable sample of plutonium using his device. That sample was used in the Trinity nuclear test on July 16, 1945. Langsdorf urged President Harry S Truman not to use the bomb against the Japanese, but a plutonium-based bomb was dropped on Nagasaki soon after, he continued to urge against expansion of nuclear weapons. He helped found Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, his wife Martyl Langsdorf designed the 1947 cover of the publication which debuted the Doomsday Clock. Langsdorf invented the diffusion cloud chamber and the reactor oscillator. Langsdorf died in Elmhurst, from complications from hip surgery. 1965 Audio Interview with Alexander Langsdorf Jr. by Stephane Groueff Voices of the Manhattan Project Alexander Langsdorf Jr. Papers via Washington University in St. Louis
