African primates range in size from the smallest prosimian in the world, to medium-sized monkeys, to the largest monkeys and apes in the world.
African monkeys include baboons, colobus monkeys, drills, geladas, guenons, mandrills, one macaque species, mangabeys, and patas monkeys.
The tails of Old World monkeys are never prehensile. Their thumbs are opposable. Their nostrils are close together and point downward. They have 32 teeth. Many species have cheek pouches to store food for later consumption, and many have thick pads on their buttocks for comfort when sitting on hard surfaces.
Old World monkeys are more closely related to apes, and therefore humans, than they are to the New World monkeys. #YBSAnimals21
Blind explores our denial of the studied, validated, stated, detailed crisis of climate change for which we are collectively responsible : natural, economic, social and demographic disasters during the coming years. And yet we do almost nothing, but continue our frenzy of senseless consumption and expend our energy in war.
Blind is the first part of a three-part installation, “The fifth season”, that questions our tendency to follow a path of self-destruction. It is related to the imminent threat of dramatic consequences for all living species as a result of climate change.

Many of the fruit and berry-bearing trees and bushes at the National Arboretum have already been picked clean by the birds and squirrels, but Holly trees are still pretty much in tact. I watched a half-dozen American Robins selecting an occasional berry; I wonder if they are too bitter or toxic for mass consumption?

Climate change research in the tropical Andes on the effects of climate change on glacier melting and on the hydrology of the La Paz Valley extensively describes the possible impact of climate change on water resources in the metropolitan area of La Paz and El Alto, and thus on water provision for urban domestic uses. Eighty per cent of the glaciers in the Bolivian tropical Andes are melting, much has already disappeared and the Tuni-Condoriri system, important for water provision in the cities of La Paz and El Alto will disappear towards 2025 and 2045. These studies also provide information related to the water balance (precipitation, consumption, water losses) in the water systems of La Paz and El Alto.

*The Palace Museum in Hong Kong*
“The architecture puts great emphasis on internal acoustic control. All of the building’s internal walls are lined with imported acoustic panels, ensuring a peaceful and harmonious environment so that visitors can really enjoy and appreciate the exhibits. The panelled façade also helps divert any external noise.
Curved, gold aluminium panels, for instance, were used for the façade, echoing the design of the museum in Beijing and creating the effect of glazed tiles.
The architects sourced as many materials from China and other parts of Asia as possible, in a bid to lower long-term operational costs and reduce the project’s overall carbon footprint and energy consumption.
For more details follow the link :

"L'architecture met l'accent sur le contrôle acoustique interne. Tous les murs intérieurs du bâtiment sont revêtus de panneaux acoustiques importés, ce qui garantit un environnement paisible et harmonieux pour que les visiteurs puissent vraiment profiter des expositions et les apprécier. La façade lambrissée contribue également à atténuer les bruits extérieurs.
Des panneaux incurvés en aluminium doré ont été utilisés pour la façade, faisant écho au design du musée de Pékin et créant l'effet de tuiles vernissées.
Les architectes se sont procuré autant de matériaux que possible en Chine et dans d'autres régions d'Asie, afin de réduire les coûts d'exploitation à long terme ainsi que l'empreinte carbone et la consommation d'énergie du projet"
In our thoughtless actions, we have tossed aside items like shoes and clothes, oblivious to the consequences they may have on our environment. However, recognizing the importance of safeguarding our planet for future generations, it is time for us to unite and make a change. Let us turn our words into action by embracing recycling, and let us cultivate a greener future by growing our own vegetable gardens using recycled materials. Together, we can create a sustainable world where care for the environment extends beyond today and leaves a lasting legacy for the generations to come.

after yesterday's gig, i still want to sing this song :)
Laccadives has not really achieved commercial levels in its tourism. One has to be thankful for the policies of the Indian government which prevents consumption of alcohol and presence of too many tourists, lack of fresh water and such. Not necessarily by design but it just happens to work like that.
In the developing world, wherever there are deep waters, obliging children act as divers and showmen to show off their prowess and eagerness and make some money. Laccadives was no different as the kids were having a blast hitting the cool emerald green waters at Agatti from a fishing vessel moored near the jetty.
Unlike other destinations, there was no obligatory solicitation by the participants, just pure fun.

Canola refers to both an edible oil (also known as canola oil) produced from the seed of any of several varieties of the rape plant, and to those plants, namely a cultivar of either rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) or field mustard/turnip rape (Brassica rapa subsp. oleifera, syn. B. campestris L.). Consumption of the oil is common and, unlike rapeseed, does not cause harm in humans[1][2] and livestock.[3] It is also used as a source of biodiesel.
Canola was bred naturally from rapeseed at the University of Manitoba, Canada, by Keith Downey and Baldur R. Stefansson in the early 1970s, and had a different nutritional profile, in addition to much less erucic acid. In the international community, canola is generally referred to as rapeseed 00 or double zero rapeseed to denote both low glucosinolates and low erucic acid [...]. Wikipedia

From Ships Monthly:
Swedish shipping company Wallenius Lines recently took delivery of the first vessel in a new series of pure car and truck carriers (PCTCs) built by CIMC Raffles of China. Future Way was designed jointly by Wallenius Lines subsidiary Wallenius Marine and Danish naval architecture firm Knud E. Hansen in compliance with DNV class rules.
“This belongs to the Sleipner concept, which is a concept with high-capacity workhorse vessels that are also energy-efficient,” Dan Reineck, Project Manager with Wallenius Marine’s Ship Design, Newbuilding and Innovation division, told Baird Maritime.
“We wanted a ship with its fuel consumption as low as possible and as little ballast as possible. In this particular case, the ship was designed to satisfy the requirements of our customer, the Volkswagen Group, which wanted a vehicle carrier with a capacity of 6,500 cars.”
The PCTC has a length of 199.95m (656ft), a beam of 37m (120ft), a draught of 9.5m (31ft), a depth of 13.4m (44ft), and an aerodynamically optimised bow that can reduce wind resistance.
Reineck said that cargo hold fans have also been installed to generate as little wind resistance as possible. The upper hull and the superstructure were also designed to have as few protruding parts as possible, which can help minimise fuel consumption.
A number of features have also been incorporated to reduce the vessel’s environmental footprint and thus eliminate the need for it to carry any ballast water when fully loaded. The structure has been optimised to make the total weight even lower, thus ensuring lower fuel consumption.
“There is also a centre ramp in the cargo hold,” added Reineck. “This feature helps save weight while making loading more efficient.”
The propulsion setup includes a 6S60ME-C10 dual-fuel engine from MAN, a fixed-pitch propeller, and a twisted leading edge rudder with a rudder bulb and fairing cone to ensure greater efficiency.
Reineck said the PCTC itself can accommodate a battery installation in the future to further reduce emissions during navigation, though a shore connection is already fitted to enable the vessel to draw electrical power from the local grid while berthed.
Future Way will be operated under charter with the Volkswagen Group along with sister ship Way Forward, which is scheduled to be delivered before the end of this year. Wallenius Marine will be responsible for ship management of the vessels, which will transport cars on behalf of Volkswagen across the Atlantic from Europe to the US East Coast and back again.
Roadside flags advertising cannabis for sale (illegally) around the Cape of Good Hope 😊. Cannabis in South Africa has been decriminalized for personal adult consumption in private. However, laws still prohibit its use outside of one's private home as well as the buying and selling of cannabis.
The monitor displays a history of fuel consumption for the last half hour, averaged over five-minute intervals. The "Current" MPG reading at the right is zero when the car is not moving, is off the top of the scale when the car is moving but the gasoline engine is off, and otherwise shows the fuel economy you're achieving moment by moment.Then it's averaged over five minutes, and displayed on the chart at the left; the little car symbols show how much energy you've put back into the battery pack using regenerative braking.
When attempting to open another bottle of scotch, if one cuts his or her finger/s with the foil seal, one has likely crossed the danger level of consumption. Would be wise to put it away and come back another day to enjoy it.

SN/NC: Pelecanus Occidentalis, Pelecanidae Family
Pelecanus is a genus of seabirds commonly called pelicans, and belonging to the Pelecanidae family.
Pelicans are famous for their huge beaks, but they have another distinctive feature: unlike other waterfowl, they have all four webbed toes, just like cormorants and gannets. They eat fish, and most live in the sea. The pelican is the only animal that swallows salt water and turns it into fresh water in its throat for consumption.
Pelecanus é um gênero de aves marinhas comumente chamado de pelicanos, e pertencente à família Pelecanidae.
Os pelicanos são famosos por seus bicos enormes, mas eles têm outra característica distintiva: ao contrário de outras aves aquáticas, eles têm os quatro dedos palmados, assim como os corvos-marinhos e os gansos-patola. Eles comem peixe e a maioria vive no mar. O pelicano é o único animal que engole água salgada e a transforma em água doce na garganta para consumo
Pelecanus es un género de aves marinas llamadas vulgarmente pelícanos, y pertenecientes a la familia Pelecanidae.
Los pelícanos son famosos por sus enormes picos, pero poseen otro rasgo distintivo: a diferencia de otras aves acuáticas, tienen los cuatro dedos palmeados, al igual que los cormoranes y alcatraces . Se alimentan de peces, y la mayoría vive en el mar. El pelícano es el único animal que traga agua salada y en su garganta la convierte en agua dulce para su consumo.
Pelecanus è un genere di uccelli marini comunemente chiamati pellicani e appartenenti alla famiglia Pelecanidae.
I pellicani sono famosi per i loro enormi becchi, ma hanno un'altra caratteristica distintiva: a differenza di altri uccelli acquatici, hanno tutte e quattro le dita palmate, proprio come i cormorani e le sule. Mangiano pesce e la maggior parte vive nel mare. Il pellicano è l'unico animale che inghiotte l'acqua salata e la trasforma in acqua dolce nella sua gola per il consumo.
Pelecanus is een geslacht van zeevogels dat gewoonlijk pelikanen wordt genoemd en behoort tot de familie Pelecanidae.
Pelikanen staan bekend om hun enorme snavels, maar ze hebben nog een ander onderscheidend kenmerk: in tegenstelling tot andere watervogels hebben ze alle vier tenen met zwemvliezen, net als aalscholvers en jan-van-gent. Ze eten vis, en de meeste leven in de zee. De pelikaan is het enige dier dat zout water inslikt en het in zijn keel verandert in zoet water voor consumptie.
Pelecanus est un genre d'oiseaux de mer communément appelés pélicans et appartenant à la famille des Pelecanidae.
Les pélicans sont célèbres pour leur énorme bec, mais ils ont une autre particularité : contrairement aux autres oiseaux aquatiques, ils ont les quatre doigts palmés, tout comme les cormorans et les fous de Bassan. Ils mangent du poisson et la plupart vivent dans la mer. Le pélican est le seul animal qui avale de l'eau salée et la transforme en eau douce dans sa gorge pour la consommation.
Pelecanus ist eine Gattung von Seevögeln, die gemeinhin als Pelikane bezeichnet werden und zur Familie der Pelecanidae gehören.
Pelikane sind berühmt für ihre riesigen Schnäbel, aber sie haben eine weitere Besonderheit: Im Gegensatz zu anderen Wasservögeln haben sie alle vier Zehen mit Schwimmhäuten, genau wie Kormorane und Basstölpel. Sie essen Fisch und die meisten leben im Meer. Der Pelikan ist das einzige Tier, das Salzwasser schluckt und es in seinem Rachen in Süßwasser für den Verzehr umwandelt.
البجع هو جنس من الطيور البحرية يسمى البجع ، وينتمي إلى عائلة البجع.
تشتهر طيور البجع بمناقيرها الضخمة ، لكن لديها ميزة مميزة أخرى: على عكس الطيور المائية الأخرى ، لديها جميع أصابع القدم الأربعة ، تمامًا مثل طيور الغاق والأطيش. يأكلون الأسماك ، ويعيش معظمهم في البحر. البجع هو الحيوان الوحيد الذي يبتلع الماء المالح ويحوله إلى ماء عذب في حلقه للاستهلاك.
ペリカンは、一般にペリカンと呼ばれる海鳥の属で、ペリカン科に属します。
ペリカンは巨大なくちばしで有名ですが、別の特徴があります。他の水鳥とは異なり、鵜やカツオドリと同じように、4 つの水かきのあるつま先があります。彼らは魚を食べ、ほとんどが海に住んでいます。ペリカンは、塩水を飲み込み、喉の中で新鮮な水に変えて消費する唯一の動物です。
Composition could have been better but I love the colors and light from this film. The circa 1800's green bottle says "for consumption" on it which means it was a medicine for Tuberculosis...wonder what that was made of.

'Our persistence is insignificant on our own, but what would we do without it?
We focus inwards, dwell and sink deeper, while the picture gets bigger and bigger'
As people might know I've been finding it really hard to create new work recently. Though I'd been trying and had concepts ready to create, nothing came out right and it didn't feel good enough. I came really close to stopping this project but I'm glad I didn't. Its all a huge learning process.
