I think these butterflies may be Mud-puddling. That is the phenomenon mostly seen in butterflies and involves their aggregation on substrates like wet soil, dung and carrion to obtain nutrients such as salts and amino acids.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puddling_(biology)

The old song RipMixLearn still sounds good, but we can now be thinking along with that about how tcontene built from content elsewhere (aggregation via RSS feeds) is viewed. There are different needs and reasons for going Inward or Outward in your aggregating.

 

Key questions:

 

* What are some ways of collecting the small pieces into useful packages?

* What are the key considerations in aggregation and representation?

* How do the current available tools stack up?

* What are advantages/pitfalls of relying on this site versus hosting it iin your own web site?

Graves Light, Boston Harbor.

 

The Graves is an aggregation of rock outcroppings in Massachusetts Bay, Massachusetts, United States. Situated some 11 miles (18 km) offshore of downtown Boston, it is the outermost island in the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area.

 

It is the location of The Graves Light, at 113 feet (34 m) tall the tallest lighthouse in Boston Harbor, and an important navigation aid for traffic to and from the port. The island has a permanent size of 1.8 acres, and rises to a height of 15 feet (4.6 m) above sea level; there is only aquatic vegetation on the island. The island is managed by the Coast Guard, and is not open to the public.

 

The Graves are named after Thomas Graves, a prominent early trader of colonial Massachusetts.

The Graves are northeast of the Roaring Bulls and far northwest of Three and One-half Fathom Ledge. Despite their offshore location, the Graves are within the city limits of Boston.

 

A new major shipping channel into Boston Harbor, the Broad Sound Channel, opened in the early 1900s, necessitating a lighthouse at the Graves.

 

In 1902, Congress appropriated $75,000 for a lighthouse and fog signal, and Governor Crane of Massachusetts signed a deed conveying 435,400 square feet at the ledges to the federal government.

 

The project ultimately cost $188,000, meaning a second appropriation of $113,000 was required in April 1904.

 

Construction took place from 1903 to 1905, and Royal Luther of Malden, Massachusetts, was in charge. The style of Graves Light is very similar to Maine's Ram Island Ledge Light, built at about the same time.

 

The granite for the tower was cut at Rockport on Cape Ann. Rock on the ledges was blasted, and the foundation was laid just four feet above the low tide mark. The first 42 feet were completed in the summer of 1903.

 

A schooner transported materials from Lovell's Island, 3 1/2 miles away, to the Graves, and a 75-foot steamer transported workers to the site. A shanty was constructed on the highest ledge of the Graves, connected to the wharf by a 90-foot elevated walkway. The shanty had living quarters, a storeroom, a blacksmith shop, and a kitchen, and up to 30 men lived there in the summers of 1903 and 1904.

 

While the granite was being put in place, the ironwork was being manufactured in Boston and a huge first-order Fresnel lens was being created in Paris.

 

The summer of 1904 saw the lighthouse reach a height of 88 feet. Construction was completed during the following year. A granite oil house was built 90 feet south of the tower, reachable by a footbridge.

 

On the night of September 1, 1905, Graves Light's first keeper, Elliot C. Hadley, lighted the most powerful light in Massachusetts history for the first time. The gigantic lens floated on 400 pounds of mercury. After the completion of Graves Light, a Lighthouse Establishment report stated:

 

At so exposed a site the height necessary for the lantern above the heavier masses of spray, the consequent geographic range, its location so far seaward, the service of the light to the large commerce of Boston and modern ships of deep draft, make it perhaps the most important light north of Cape Cod.

Mellow Clutter™ is a concept I've talked about for the past 2 years and it anticipated content aggregation, rich APIs, and that we'd post once and publish everywhere.

 

"Web technologies have finally caught up to their promise and by using APIs, feeds, and widgets, a company can create a “portal” for their product, a Mellow Clutter."

 

Today, I used the newest new TypePad Motion to build a quick Mellow Clutter and cool. This particular Melllow Clutter just has pumpkins on it, but that took me about 34 minutes to set up on my Macbook Air.

 

It's using TypePad on the backend with locally hosted Python and Django to generate the front end templates and pages. The next step is to fully customize it and move it into production on a web host.

 

The Mellow Clutter concept is also known as Social Publishing and is applied to products and brands. It's a dynamic website that shares photos, videos, news, and video from a variety of sources focused on a particular topic.

 

In context to Social Media, instead of lifestreaming, a business streams their product.

 

It's what we've been doing on Bike Hugger using a Movable Type/Type Pad hack. Next step is this.

 

We'll debut the production site shortly during the Mobile Social Worldwide.

Fish school and a shark congregate around a fish aggregation device (FAD). Around 10% of the catch generated by purse seine FAD fisheries is unwanted bycatch and includes endangered species of sharks and turtles. The catch of large amounts of juvenile bigeye and yellowfin tunas in these fisheries is now threatening the survival of these commercially valuable species. Greenpeace is calling for a total ban on the use of fish aggregation devices in purse seining and the establishment of a global network of marine reserves.

The giraffe's scattered range extends from Chad in the north to South Africa in the south, and from Niger in the west to Somalia in the east. Giraffes usually inhabit savannas, grasslands, and open woodlands. Their primary food source is acacia leaves, which they browse at heights most other herbivores cannot reach. Giraffes are preyed on by lions, and calves are also targeted by leopards, spotted hyenas and wild dogs. Adult giraffes do not have strong social bonds, though they do gather in loose aggregations if they happen to be moving in the same general direction. Males establish social hierarchies through "necking", which are combat bouts where the neck is used as a weapon. Dominant males gain mating access to females, which bear the sole responsibility for raising the young. - wikipedia

DLA growing on an image - picked up a copy of "Print" on the weekend with Toxi's "Type & Form" cover

I came across a mating aggregation of Chromis viridis, where an estimated few thousand individuals crowded on a patch of seagrass in ~ 5 meters and frantically mated. The males turned either slightly yellow, with black fin edges, or completely yellow, with a black caudal fin. What a spectacle!

Smart Bro LTE-Advanced is 2-3 times faster speed than the regular LTE network made possible by Carrier Aggregation that combines multiple signals from different cell sites of PLDT and Smart Communications.

 

The Evoluzn Pocket Wifi is 2.4GHz 300 Mpbs, 5GHz 866 Mpbs. Has 3000 mAh lithium ion polymer removable battery that yields a standby time of 9-10 hours. Charging time is 1.5 hours. Can connect up to 10 devices/users. It comes with Type C to USB-A power cable and a fast charger. Has a micro sd card slot for a max of 32GB.

 

It also comes with a free Smart Bro regular LTE SIM card though a Smart Rocket 5G SIM card is highly recommended.

 

"Smart Communications Inc., the wireless arm of PLDT Inc., is still the country’s fastest 5G mobile network, delivering significantly higher speeds for its subscribers during the second half of 2021, according to Ookla.

 

Using 325,396 user-initiated 5G tests, Ookla said Smart is the winner of its Speedtest Awards for the period covering the third and fourth quarters of 2021 with a speed score of 201.95.

 

Its closest competitor posted a speed score of 116.08."

I'm way behind on my photos, but i thought i better get some of the Spider crab agrregation shots up before the moment has passed.

Spontaneous aggregation of six sequence-identical human Islet Amyloid Polypeptide (hIAPP or Amylin). The molecules exhibit a various geometrical shapes, in which coils are dominant while helices are rare. The alternation of strands and turns shows interesting intra-molecular ordered-disordered arrangements.

I have found these aggregations more often on rocks. This is on Dege Pk., WA state, USA.

 

On heather and rock in open subalpine at 2134m / 7,000'.

 

These aggregations are quite common on mountain tops. I gave up trying to key them out. "dougwaylett" has recommended 'Ladybugs of Alberta" by John Alcorn, 2007, as the only popular guide for ladybugs in North America. Thought I'd try the easy way out first.

I made this trip to see the spawning aggregations of Goliath Groupers. The week before I arrived there were torrential rains and strong winds from the southwest which had blown the Gulf Stream far offshore. The water was stirred up, green, full of floc, and with a thermocline around 40-55’. But the Goliaths were still there and really impressive!! Frequently 15-30 or more per wreck; it was hard to count with the limited vis. I will be planning to come back next year hoping for better picture taking conditions.
