A little humor in the lab where Senior Museum Scientist Monica Albe, UC Berkeley's Museum of Vertebrate Zoology's preparator, prepares specimens with the help of a bevy of volunteers. Some of the specimens stored at the museum actually WERE roadkill.

For the first time in 25 years, staff at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo are making preparations for the highly anticipated birth of an endangered Bornean orangutan. With a breeding recommendation from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Species Survival Plan (SSP), the 19-year-old parents to be, female Batang and male Kyle, bred in January. On Feb. 2, a common human pregnancy test confirmed that Batang had successfully conceived. Earlier today, the Zoo announced Batang’s pregnancy through a broadcast via Facebook Live of her ultrasound; it will continue to provide weekly updates on Batang through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram using the hashtag #OrangutanStory.
Zoo veterinarians have conducted bi-weekly ultrasounds since Feb. 2 and are encouraged that the ultrasounds have shown fetal growth and development, heightening hopes that Batang will give birth for the first time. They are cautiously optimistic that she will deliver a healthy baby around mid-September. However, just like any animal pregnancy, there is a possibility that miscarriage, stillbirth or a complication could occur.
“All of our perseverance and planning paid off when we confirmed Batang’s pregnancy,” said Dr. Meredith Bastian, curator of primates and member of the Orangutan SSP Steering Committee. “Watching her fetus develop over the past few months has been incredibly exciting, and we’re making every effort to ensure our efforts come to fruition.”
For the past three years, keepers have been acclimating Batang to the experiences of motherhood and training her to care for an infant. Building upon behaviors Batang has learned through routine training sessions, keepers presented her with a plush, bean-shaped pillow and an orangutan stuffed animal to simulate a baby. Keepers trained her to hold the “fake” baby upright, carry it around the enclosure and return the pillow baby to keepers through a specially designed “baby box” when asked. Should animal care staff need to evaluate a real orangutan baby’s health, this training would help staff retrieve the infant in a way that is safe and not stressful for the animals. Batang has also been trained to use a breast pump for milk collection in the event she is unable to successfully nurse.
“Training increases the likelihood that orangutan mothers will care for their infants,” said Becky Malinsky, assistant curator of primates. “This training is especially important for a first time mother, like Batang. It is our goal for the infant to be raised by her mother, learning how to be an orangutan from Batang and the other orangutans at the zoo.”
In the event that Batang is unable or unwilling to care for her infant, keepers are training females Bonnie and Iris to act as surrogate mothers. They receive similar training to Batang, but with a slight twist: keepers ask them to bring the pillow baby and present it to the keepers for bottle feedings. Batang is also trained to present the infant for bottle feedings if she is unable to nurse. As a last resort, keepers will prepare a nursery in the event it is necessary for them to hand-raise the baby with the goal of returning the infant to its mother or surrogate as soon as possible.
Native to Indonesia, orangutans live in the tropical rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra. For the past seven decades, humans have cleared land that was originally orangutan territory in order to meet the growing demand for palm oil products, fast-growing pulp wood and food crops leaving orangutans in competition with one another for space, food and mates. Scientists estimate that in the past 75 years, the number of wild orangutans has decreased by 80 percent. The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the Bornean orangutan as endangered and the Sumatran orangutan as critically endangered.
Visitors can see the Zoo’s six orangutans daily at the Great Ape House and the Think Tank. At the Great Ape House, visitors can meet a great ape keeper to learn about the fascinating world of apes at 11:30 a.m. daily. At Think Tank, staff and interpretive volunteers perform daily demonstrations and lead discussions on research in cognitive science, highlighting current and ongoing Zoo studies at 1:30 p.m. Visitors can also see the orangutans traveling on the O-Line on warm-weather days in the late morning and early afternoon.

one of my favorite spots in the new place. a light filled alcove to store our coats and hats with a perfect spot for my sweet little jade plant that just about died at the last place. turns out that jade plants (well most plant, actually) don't like basements, even if you stick them next to the only natural light you can find. she's the only plant that survived the last place. she's a hardy one.
i have also decided that this little cove will help me learn about back lighting things.

"It's about the 'blokes', our men and women of the Armed Forces. It's about Derek, a rugby player who has lost both his legs, it's about Carl whose jaw is wired up so he has been drinking through a straw. It's about Richard who was handed a mobile phone as he lay on the stretcher so he could say goodbye to his wife. It's about Ben, it's about Steven and Andy and Mark, it's about them all. They are just blokes but they are our blokes; they are our heroes. We want to help our heroes." Bryn Parry, 30th September 2007 ...

HELP:
no address of this location and there are no other pictures taken of these trees from any other angles. This is due to the fact that the picture is actually an oil based painting on canvas painted by Dr. Sayed Al-Khudari from Egypt[1]. Pay attention to the top right corner where you can even see the wrinkles of the canvas since it is not stretched properly.
I'm working on a physical billboard. the church wanted it to say something to the effect of "look closer". I thought it might be cool to photoshop some trees together to make it look like the board isnt there.
is this a bad idea? i need some help!!!!
This is the board that it will be placed on. sooo it should look just like this.
u can think whatever u want.Its ur own interpretation.I try to imagine about a murderer.If there are somebody who need some help as they want to run away from a murder or killing situation.But this time i just gonna through with my own experiment where i used a scanner and put both hand with overlapping each other.
First time I've ever run across this pretty guy. St. Charles County Missouri, late January. Can any one help ID him please?
Gli esami sono proprio alle porte!! Colleghi quello che dobbiamo fare è affrontarli faccia a faccia...! Anche se non siamo sicuri di passare, se non sappiamo tutto alla perfezione è giusto che anche noi iniziamo questo percorso!!!! E quindi eccomi qui per augurarvi IN BOCCA A LUPO a tutti coloro che stanno chiusi in casa a studiare in attesa del fatidico giorno!!!
Mid-train helpers have just been cut in and UP 7880 is now leaving the yard in Helper, UT to tackle the climb to Soldier Summit.
Herro there!
Alrighty so some of you are tagged. Well a lot of you...if you are the type of person who is like 'ugh tagged', then I'm sorry =] I thought I would seek a little council from my fellow camera hags. I say that in love, lol. Anyways. I have a photoshoot coming up and I was planning on renting some camera equipment. Off camera lighting specifically. It's a photoshoot of a guy for his album. I was thinking a night scene in the city. Some simple off camera lighting would be perfect for a shot against a brick wall or with the city in the foreground. I have no idea what sort of equipment I should be renting. All I have is my camera. This is such a loaded question lol I'm sorry. But if you are familiar with off camera lighting I was wondering if you could suggest what I would need. Stand, umbrella, flash, ect. I shoot with canon if that makes a difference. I think I solved this =]
Okay now about me... Haha. So I've been busy enjoying fall. Taking the camera out more. I got a cool strap from souldier @ photojojo store. It's a gold recycled seatbelt camera strap. I think I like it. I also got these cute photo clip hangers. Ill post links when I have more time.
Oh I am reading The Rum Diary and can't put the freaking book down! Soo good. I suggest it.
Oh and the ducks are getting big big and are living outside now in a huge cage that we had built for them. They love it! Oh and don't you love how ducks always look like they are smiling? So cute.
So what's new with you? ANything goood? =]

We think this is a picture of May Bourne (or possibly her daughter), a relative of Stewart's. We think it was taken in Kenya where the family worked for - again, we think - Brooke Bond, or one of the big plantation owners. Whether the licence plate is English and exported or Kenyan, don't know, but have just discovered that the first Kenyan reg was 1938. Any info gratefully received...we don't know for sure who, where, even what car! If the licence plate tells you anything, we would be pleased to know...
Thanks for all the information - see the trail below!

Amtrak, the national passenger rail system, provides service to Helper station, operating its California Zephyr daily in both directions between Chicago and Emeryville, California, across the bay from San Francisco. The now defunct Rio Grande Zephyr also stopped at Helper. It also lies along U.S. Route 6/191, which split just north of the city - U.S. 191 heads northeast to Duchesne, while U.S. 6 heads northwest to Spanish Fork. Both continue together southeast to I-70 just west of Green River.
