Hello There,
Macro Mondays is a weekly theme-based challenge group. Our challenge this week was "Award."
This is a macro of my M.A. diploma. Before retiring, I practiced as a Speech/Language Pathologist. Now I refer to myself as a "Jack of all trades but a master of none!"
Thanks a million for stopping by and for leaving a comment. I do love hearing from you!
Have a fantastic day and week!

Dutch Elm Disease. I think this is the artistic, spider-like damage caused by the larvae of the elm bark beetle.
From the Woodland Trust - This now infamous tree disease has killed millions of elm trees in the UK over the last 50 years. It’s changed parts of our landscape forever. Dutch elm disease is caused by the fungus Ophiostoma novo-ulmi which is spread by elm bark beetles. It got its name from the team of Dutch pathologists who carried out research on the disease in the 1920s.

00:29..Addendum: Another frustrating and disappointing day but it had a bright side. We didn't get our appointment yesterday for several reasons (1) Insurance coding (2) Pathology report and (3) Misplaced x-rays. It's rescheduled for Thursday at 9:30 am. We did stop at the Cancer Center to drop off what x-rays we were able to get, while we were there they found the x-rays at the hospital and brought them there, the pathologists promised his report for sometime later in the afternoon.
Talk about getting frustrated...One of the main persons at the center sat us down to explain to us what was happening and asked how we got there, we responded with a referral from the surgeon, she replied no we didn't..." She replied God brought us there no one else" and that " They are there to do His work and the procedure would be done no matter about insurance we would not be turned away as they are there to heal"...I almost fell out of the chair I was sitting on, this center has three Doctor's formerly with M.D. Anderson Houston's main Cancer Center, She reassured us that treatment would begin as soon as they had the pathology report, not to worry about insurance, if it comes through fine if not the show will go on. Needless to say this calmed Gail down, lifted her spirits and I was flabbergasted. Just goes to show you there are some wonderful people in this world and we had just met one of them, I was impressed. I know this may sound "Hokey" but I tell you the facts. So anyhow we are set to begin Thursday..."Praise The Lord"
Villa Della Porta Bozzolo is a villa located at Casalzuigno in the province of Varese, northern Italy. It was donated by the heirs of the Italian senator and pathologist Camillo Bozzolo to the Fondo per l'Ambiente Italiano—the National Trust of Italy—who now manage it.
It was built in the 16th century and used as a rural villa and later an aristocratic residence. In the 18th century an impressive Italian garden was added with stairs, fountains, water features and an aedicula decorated with frescoes. Around the villa there are interesting rustic elements, such as a representation of an olive press containing a cycle of rococo frescoes from the workshop of Pietro Antonio Magatti, a painter from Varese.
At the end of the 17th century the villa experienced one of its most important transformations on the initiative of Gian Angelo Della Porta III on the occasion of his marriage to Isabella, daughter of Count Giorgio Giulini. With the assistance of architect Antonio Maria Porani, he set the main axis of the garden parallel to the side of the house—thus contravening the classic rules under which the principal axis must be aligned with the main room of the house, dividing the garden into two symmetrical parts. In 1723, he also built an elaborate fountain cascading from terraces in the hillside, designed by the architect Pellegatta.

In Flanders fields, the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below...
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields...
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields...

Armistice Day occurs next Tuesday… “at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month”. My father's brother, John Barber, died in 1917 when a stove exploded in a Belgian army camp. My mother’s brother, Bill Watson, was killed on July 23, 1944, when the Wellington Mk X bomber in which he was navigator ditched into the Irish Sea while on a training mission. All on board were killed.
I decided it would be fitting to travel the short distance to Guelph, Ontario, to visit the birthplace of Lt. Col. John McCrae, who penned “In Flanders Fields” on a piece of paper held tightly to the back of his friend, Colonel Lawrence Cosgrave while they were in the trenches during a lull in the bombings on May 3, 1915. McCrae had witnessed the death of his friend, Lieutenant Alexis Helmer, the day before. The poem was first published on December 8, 1915 in Punch magazine, London.
The light wasn’t the best for my photoshoot, since the front of the house receives very little sunlight at any point during the day. Did my best. Someday I'll redo it when the skies are overcast.
Over the next week, I will be posting images taken during the visit. I will also be posting pictures of Uncle Bill and Uncle John, as well as of Bill’s flight crew. I will tell as much of their stories as I know.

Lieutenant Colonel John Alexander McCrae (November 30, 1872 – January 28, 1918) was a Canadian poet, physician, author, artist and soldier during World War I and a surgeon during the battle of Ypres. He is best known for writing the famous war memorial poem In Flanders Fields.
McCrae was born in McCrae House in Guelph, Ontario, the grandson of Scottish immigrants. He attended the Guelph Collegiate Vocational Institute. John became a member of the Guelph militia regiment.
McCrae worked on his BA at the University of Toronto from 1892-3. He took a year off his studies at the University of Toronto due to recurring problems with asthma.
He was a member of the Toronto militia, The Queen's Own Rifles of Canada while studying at the University of Toronto, during which time he was promoted to Captain and commanded the company.
Among his papers in the John McCrae House in Guelph, Ontario is a letter John McCrae wrote on July 18, 1893 to Laura Kains while he trained as an artilleryman at the Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston, Ontario. "...I have a manservant .. Quite a nobby place it is, in fact .. My windows look right out across the bay, and are just near the water’s edge; there is a good deal of shipping at present in the port; and the river looks very pretty.’ [1]
He was a resident master in English and Mathematics in 1894 at the OAC in Guelph, Ontario. [2]
He returned to the University of Toronto and completed his B.A. McCrae later studied medicine on a scholarship at the University of Toronto. While attending the university he joined the Zeta Psi Fraternity (Theta Xi chapter; class of 1894) and published his first poems.
He completed a medical residency at the Garrett Hospital, a Maryland children's convalescent home. [2]
In 1902, he was appointed resident pathologist at Montreal General Hospital and later also became assistant pathologist to the Royal Victoria Hospital Montreal. In 1904, he was appointed an associate in medicine at the Royal Victoria Hospital. Later that year, he went to England where he studied for several months and became a member of the Royal College of Physicians.
In 1905, he set up his own practice although he continued to work and lecture at several hospitals. He was appointed pathologist to the Montreal Foundling and Baby Hospital in 1905. In 1908, he was appointed physician to the Royal Alexandra Hospital for Infectious Diseases.
In 1910, he accompanied Lord Grey, the Governor General of Canada, on a canoe trip to Hudson Bay to serve as expedition physician .
McCrae served in the artillery during the Second Boer War, and upon his return was appointed professor of pathology at the University of Vermont, where he taught until 1911 (although he also taught at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec)
When the United Kingdom declared war on Germany at the start of World War I, Canada, as a Dominion within the British Empire, declared war as well. McCrae was appointed as a field surgeon in the Canadian artillery and was in charge of a field hospital during the Second Battle of Ypres in 1915. McCrae's friend and former student, Lt. Alexis Helmer, was killed in the battle, and his burial inspired the poem, In Flanders Fields, which was written on May 3, 1915 and first published in Punch Magazine, London.
From June 1, 1915 McCrae was ordered away from the artillery to set up No. 3 Canadian General Hospital at Dannes-Camiers near Boulogne-sur-Mer, northern France. C.L.C. Allinson reported that McCrae "most unmilitarily told [me] what he thought of being transferred to the medicals and being pulled away from his beloved guns. His last words to me were: 'Allinson, all the goddam doctors in the world will not win this bloody war: what we need is more and more fighting men.'"[3]
'In Flanders Fields' appeared anonymously in Punch on December 8, 1915, but in the index to that year McCrae was named as the author. The verses swiftly became one of the most popular poems of the war, used in countless fund-raising campaigns and frequently translated (a Latin version begins In agro belgico...). 'In Flanders Fields' was also extensively printed in the United States, which was contemplating joining the war, alongside a 'reply' by R. W. Lillard, ("...Fear not that you have died for naught, / The torch ye threw to us we caught...").
For eight months the hospital operated in Durbar tents (donated by the Begum of Bhopal and shipped from India), but after suffering storms, floods and frosts it was moved up to Boulogne-sur-Mer into the old Jesuit College in February 1916.
McCrae, now "a household name, albeit a frequently misspelt one",[4] regarded his sudden fame with some amusement, wishing that "they would get to printing 'In F.F.' correctly: it never is nowadays"; but (writes his biographer) "he was satisfied if the poem enabled men to see where their duty lay."[5]
On January 28, 1918, while still commanding No 3 Canadian General Hospital (McGill) at Boulogne, McCrae died of pneumonia. He was buried with full honours[6] in the Commonwealth War Graves Commission section of Wimereux Cemetery, just a couple of kilometres up the coast from Boulogne. McCrae's horse, "Bonfire", led the procession, his master's riding boots reversed in the stirrups. McCrae's gravestone is placed flat, as are all the others, because of the sandy soil.
McCrae was the co-author, with J. G. Adami, of a medical textbook, A Text-Book of Pathology for Students of Medicine (1912; 2nd ed., 1914). He was the brother of Dr. Thomas McCrae, professor of medicine at John Hopkins Medical School in Baltimore and close associate of Sir William Osler.
McCrae was the great uncle of former Alberta MP David Kilgour and of Kilgour's sister Geills Turner, who married former Canadian Prime Minister John Napier Turner.
Several institutions have been named in McCrae's honour, including John McCrae Public School (part of the York Region District School Board in the Toronto suburb of Markham, Ontario), John McCrae Public School (in Guelph, Ontario), John McCrae Senior Public School (in Scarborough, Ontario) and John McCrae Secondary School (part of the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board in the Ottawa suburb of Barrhaven). The current Canadian War Museum has a gallery for special exhibits, called the The Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae Gallery. Guelph is home to McCrae House, a museum created in his birthplace.
The Cloth Hall of the city of Ieper (Ypres in English} in Belgium has a permanent war remembrance[8] called the In Flanders Fields Museum, named after the poem.
There are also a photograph and short biographical memorial to McCrae in the St George Memorial Church in Ypres.

We are receiving reports from our Macro Mondays correspondent that a Miss WHITE, known locally as SNOW, has eaten a poisoned apple. Supermarkets have removed their stocks of apples from the shelves as a precaution.
The source of the contamination has been traced to a Wicked Queen, who we believe is Snow White's stepmother. When questioned, the Wicked Queen stamped her foot and said she heard voices from a mirror on the wall. Prosecutors feel she will be declared unfit to plead and she has been detained in a secure unit for the criminally obnoxious.
Snow White previously lived with Seven Dwarfs. The Dwarfs placed Snow White's body in a glass box pending the examination by the eminent Pathologist Dr Prince. During his examination Dr Prince discovered a piece of the poisoned apple in Snow White's mouth. Once it was removed she recovered consciousness and made a full recovery.
We understand that beautiful Snow White and the handsome Dr Prince are to be married and will live happily ever after.
The End.

Eighteenth-century kitchen. The place was initially intended as a pantry, then transformed into a kitchen in the eighteenth century with the construction of a large fireplace for food preparation. In the following century, due to the change in culinary habits, a practical three-burner stove was created.

Ein kurzes Lebenszeichen von mir. Ich war die letzten Wochen hier nicht aktiv, aus gegebenem Anlass. Ich bin immer noch sehr eingeschränkt mobil, und nicht geheilt, an Details beißen sich Pathologen gerade die Zähne aus. Wenigstens gab es hier an meiner ersten Station ein angemessenes Bild an der Wand, es zeigt die Zeche Zollern. Die UK Essen ist da etwas spartanischer, hat aber die besten Ärzte.
I'll be back!
Just a quick note to let you know I'm still here. I haven't been active here for the last few weeks, for reasons. My mobility is still very limited, and I'm not cured yet; pathologists are currently racking their brains over the details. At least there was a fitting picture on the wall here at my first stop, it shows the Zollern colliery. The University Hospital in Essen is a bit more spartan, but it has the best doctors.
I'll be back!
Hidden monument of Archibald Reiss, Swiss pathologist acter of I world war, in "Topčider park", Belgrade. Witnessed about 54% Serbian victims counting whole regenerative population.
The commissioner of the Metropolitan police went on the offensive today, defending his officers for an "astonishing" police operation during the G20 that he said had received international praise.
Sir Paul Stephenson said his comments were made in the context of a man having died during the demonstration, and of footage that was deeply concerning. But he went out of his way to praise what he said were an overwhelming majority of officers who carried out a professional job on the day.
Picking out the territorial support group (TSG) – which is at the centre of two IPCC investigations into Ian Tomlinson's death and an assault on a woman protester – Stephenson said it was a specialist unit the Met relied on.
"These and others are our first line response to some of the most difficult and challenging situations," he said.
The commissioner, who has spoken personally to TSG officers in a bid to raise their morale, said all knew they were individually accountable for their actions.
He said officers who were found to have deliberately hidden their numbers would be severely disciplined. "If someone is trying to deliberately avoid being identified and their reason is so they can behave inappropriately, criminally, then of course they could face the sack," Stephenson said.
He planned to tackle the problem of police identification by examining whether every officer should wear name tags.
The commissioner said there were supervision problems with some groups of officers and he wanted this improved. "The overwhelming majority did [wear their numbers]. There is not sufficient concentration on intrusive supervision.
"That is what I believe in. It is the job of supervisors to go and find out how good your people are so that you can say well done and sometimes to find out where they are going wrong."
The commissioner spoke as a pathologist was carrying out the third postmortem on Ian Tomlinson's body. It was done at the request of lawyers for the TSG officer seen in footage obtained by the Guardian apparently attacking Tomlinson. The Met will be present at the postmortem after receiving advice from its lawyers.
The IPCC is investigating the circumstances of Tomlinson's death; a second incident in which a TSG sergeant is seen hitting a woman protester; and a third case that resulted from another complaint from a protester about police violence.
Stephenson has asked for a review of all footage in the Met's possession. This is being carried out by the Met's department of professional standards. Denis O'Connor, Her Majesty's inspector of constabulary, has been asked to examine the tactics used by the Met for public order events, specifically the issue of containing demonstrators for several hours.
Stephenson said the use of containment had begun after a demonstration in June 1999 when protesters caused £13m worth of damage. "The policy of containment has come from our history. As a consequence of this we … developed a policy of graduated control which at some point may involve containment. If there is a better way to do it we are up for learning it, but we don't know of a way."
Stephenson said he had received acknowledgment from police forces internationally for what the Met achieved during the G20.
"Part of the headlines should be … astonishing operation pulled off by the Met who did a first-class job," he said.
"The overwhelming majority of officers, whatever the stress or provocation, carried out their duties in a professional manner and I want to give them credit for what they achieved." He said his comments were in the context that some of the footage he had seen caused him deep concern, and the Met was cooperating with the IPCC to help provide the answers that Tomlinson's family wanted.
Stephenson said the Met had never misled anyone in the aftermath of Tomlinson's death. He said the scene where he collapsed was secured, sealed off and treated as a crime scene and the press statement the Met released in the aftermath of the death was approved by the Independent Police Complaints Commission.

We wanted to let our friends know that Bandit will have a small (hopefully) procedure tomorrow to remove another mast cell tumor. This one is very small and is located on his hip. We went through this about two years ago with two small lesions in a different area. Those turned out to be malignant, but very low grade. They were removed and caused no further problems. I will update you on what the vet says once the pathologist provides his report.

I love the patterns and textures created when our local creek freezes. Such a beautiful contrast between the smooth, rounded edges and the spiky frost (ice?) crystals on top. Taken at Votier's Flats, Fish Creek Park, on 22 November 2012.
Couldn't resist adding the following, especially for birder friends. A friend sent it to me via e-mail and I thought others might find it interesting : )
"I heard that they found about 200 dead crows near Halifax, and there was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu. They had a Bird Pathologist examine the remains of all the crows, and
he confirmed the problem was definitely NOT Avian Flu, to everyone's relief.
However, he determined that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with trucks, and only 2% were killed by an impact with a car.
The Province then hired an Ornithological Behaviourist to determine the disproportionate percentages for truck versus car kill. The Ornithological Behaviourist determined the cause in short order.
When crows eat road kill, they always set-up a look-out Crow in a nearby tree to warn of impending danger. His conclusion was that the lookout crow could say "Cah", but he could
not say "Truck." Have a nice day...." Sorry, I don't know who the author was.
Isco Gottingen Westar 50mm f/2.8 lens
I got the camera about 1966 from my pathologist father in law who converted to a dedicated Kodak box type camera with flash and framing structure. This Exakta had a macro lens but I sold it and bought this cheap lens and have been happy with it. It does not get much use now, though.
Today's story and sketch by me #1255 Is about Marty the young (MCPPOTG), Man Cave Posse Protectors Of The Galaxy Deputy, Marty is the latest short straw volunteer to attempt to fly into the Stargate that appears every Tuesday at exactly 12:15 pm. The Stargate appears next to the Budahunga Banana Palm you see to the right in this sketch. The distinguished fellow on the left is Deputy Papi, from the Planet Oblate, Papi is currently Budahunga's official semi professional priest, greeter, coroner, pathologist, and before taking a wrong turn in a worm hole on his way to Palm Springs, for a shuffleboard tournament, crash landed here on Budahunga. No one is sure what Papi did before arriving here, or what the big stick he is holding with the Crystal that at times gives off a green glowing cloud that smells like very aged Monkfish. Papi is giving a blessing to Marty's Interstellar Glider before the Stargate appears in a just a few minutes, and he is off into another dimension or another Galaxy. Marty will be keeping detailed notes of where the Stargate takes his tiny craft, and hopefully can use his notes to backtrack back to Budahunga. That should be an exciting tale to report, if hopefully Marty returns. Until then TaTa the Rod Blog.

I took this as I was walking down to get my Blood test done at my local medical center here in Oberon NSW. I was meant to get on Thursday and the pathologist was busy and I had to go back today it get it done. I see the doctor next week to get the results. It's only a 5 min walk form home to the medical center.
This is one of the oldest rooms of the Villa (the characteristic 16th century ‘volta unghiata’ and the contemporary herringbone brick floor). The name 'Caminata' derives from the presence, in the 16th century, of a large fireplace, now replaced by an oven equipped with a food warmer.

A resident of a luxury apartment block in Pok Fu Lam on Friday welcomed the government’s relaxation of its policy to quarantine whole buildings where patients with a mutated strain of the coronavirus live, calling the arrangements “overkill”.
Pathologist John Nicholls, a resident of Royalton, said he was happy he would soon be allowed to return home after spending two nights at Penny’s Bay quarantine centre.
He and other residents of the building were ordered into quarantine facilities on Wednesday after a domestic worker living in the block came down with the highly infectious version of coronavirus.
Nicholls said that he had “big concerns” about the evacuation plan and thought that authorities had "overreacted”.
The professor at the University of Hong Kong's Department of Pathology said he had been fully vaccinated against Covid-19, and was never in direct contact with the infected domestic worker.
"From a scientific point of view, I was at a very, very low risk anyway," Nicholls told RTHK's Timmy Sung. "That's why we thought that it was a bit of an overreaction."
He said even though he understood the government was concerned about the variant spreading to the community, "the reality of the situation was not needing to do a whole apartment building ... it was probably a bit of an overkill."
The expert also said the quarantine had been "incredibly inconvenient," saying he had been unable to do his clinical work and research.
Asked about the government's move to shorten quarantine periods for fully vaccinated close contacts of coronavirus patients, Nicholls said he thought the move could boost the city’s inoculation rate.

Translation: Never before has a substance been allowed that is so deadly.
A protest against the Corona policy has been held every Saturday for the past eight months. Saturday 18.06.2022 at 36 degrees Celsius.
On Saturday, June 25, there is an international super event in Frankfurt with the Million March II, that cannot be ignored by the media.
This shot, taken on a bit of a cloudy Tuesday from the City Botanic Gardens is looking across the Brisbane River to Kangaroo Point and the Story Bridge on the far left. For those Aussies and also some overseas countries (UK is one) who have been engrossed in the adventures of our local TV production "Harrow", lead dissector, Daniel Harrow, well known pathologist at the fictional Queensland Institute of Forensic Medicine, knows this reach of the river well as it is his home...not on the range, but on the yacht.
In fact, if you look to the right of the vessel in the middle foreground and then over to the far bank of the river, you can see a number of other yachts tied up at a small mooring. This is his usual maritime home, although I don't think we have ever been shown the boat's name. It is featured, in an unexpected way, in the final scenes of Series 3 which has just finished being shown in Australia. My lips are sealed.
We have grown to love him in Brisbane, not only for the entertaining television but for really showing the city at its best, although, when identifying some of the locations used in the series, he certainly gets himself into some odd places.
The three series so far have been produced by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and Hoodlum Productions. No information yet on a 4th series, we hope so.
In an odd twist, very similar scenes were used in the first episode of the TV series "Mission Impossible"....."Good Morning Mr. Phelps" that was filmed in Australia during the Hollywood writer's strike back in the 1980's. Back then, that episode was supposedly set in London of all places!
In The Gardeners' Chronicle of 1876, Nicholas Edward Brown (1849-1934) writes about a new succulent that has recently arrived at the Kew Gardens, London, from South Africa through the good graces of Harry Bolus (1834-1911). In June 1875 it had flowered beautifully, and Brown adds that Kew already possessed herbarium specimens that had been sent there earlier by Peter MacOwan (1830-1909), who was later to make a fine name for himself as South Africa's first plant pathologist. Mesembryanthemum setuliferum - as it was still called - had been collected in the heart of The Karoo at Bruintjieshoogte (1647 m. alt.).
In the early 1930s the Latin name was revised to Trichodiadema setuliferum: Hairy Crown. That name belies the African name 'Doringkroonvygie', "Crown of Thorns Flower" because those hairs are not actually 'thorns'. So perhaps it's wiser to use another common language designation: Stervygie, "Star Flower".
But the 'Diadema' in the scientific name - and that 'Doringkroon' - are used in the Gospels to refer to Jesus's Crown of Thorns before his Good Friday Crucifixion. So this plant is appropriate for this afternoon, also because it's not yet in Glorious Flower.

A young couple, all smiles, swing along with a camel hanging from the man's lips. It was 1931, so people were not yet informed about the dangers of cigarette smoking. The warnings wouldn't come for decades, when this couple were well into their twilight years. But when did the cigarette manufacturers know?
That Camel couple is a perfect entry point, because it sits right in the middle of the period when cigarette companies already had strong evidence of harm yet continued to market cigarettes as symbols of vitality, romance, and modern life. Long before the ad, independent physicians were publishing case reports linking heavy smoking to chronic cough, shortness of breath, heart strain, and cancers of the mouth and throat. The tobacco companies dismissed all of this as anecdotal.
The 1930s is when the evidence began to sharpen. Fritz Lickint in Germany had published a massive epidemiological study linking smoking to lung cancer in 1929. Pathologists began noticing that lung cancer was rising in parallel with cigarette consumption. The industry’s response? They funded “research” designed to muddy the waters and continued to market cigarettes as healthful, refreshing, even invigorating. Ads from this era often used athletes, doctors, and “throat-friendly” claims.
By the 1950s, several large-scale studies showed smokers had dramatically higher lung cancer rates. “Reader’s Digest” published “Cancer by the Carton” in 1952, a bombshell article summarizing the evidence. Tobacco executives met at New York’s Plaza Hotel and launched a coordinated PR campaign to cast doubt on the science. This is the moment the industry knew beyond any reasonable doubt and chose denial as a strategy.
Internal documents released during lawsuits in the 1970s-1990s reveal that by the 1950s, and certainly by the 1960s, tobacco companies knew nicotine was addictive, cigarettes caused cancer, and their own “safer” products were not safer. They deliberately targeted young people and funded research designed to create confusion, not clarity. One infamous 1969 Brown & Williamson memo states: “Doubt is our product.” That line tells you everything.
So that cheerful 1931 Camel couple? They were already living in a world where the earliest scientific warnings existed—but the industry had every incentive to bury them.
[Note: Sowing doubt seems to be the same strategy now being used in the climate change debate, allied with the "crisis in trust" for science.]
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_crow
The house crow (Corvus splendens), also known as the Indian, greynecked, Ceylon or Colombo crow,[2] is a common bird of the crow family that is of Asian origin but now found in many parts of the world, where they arrived assisted by shipping. It is between the jackdaw and the carrion crow in size (40 cm (16 in) in length) but is slimmer than either. The forehead, crown, throat and upper breast are a richly glossed black, whilst the neck and breast are a lighter grey-brown in colour. The wings, tail and legs are black. There are regional variations in the thickness of the bill and the depth of colour in areas of the plumage.
Taxonomy
The nominate race C. s. splendens is found in Pakistan, India, Nepal and Bangladesh and has a grey neck collar. The subspecies C. s. zugmayeri is found in the dry parts of South Asia and Iran and has a very pale neck collar. The subspecies C. s. protegatus is found in southern India, the Maldives (sometimes separated as maledivicus) and Sri Lanka and is darker grey. C. s. insolens, found in Myanmar, is the darkest form and lacks the grey collar.[3]
Distribution and habitat
It has a widespread distribution in southern Asia, being native to Nepal, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Maldives and Laccadive Islands, South West Thailand and coastal southern Iran. It was introduced to East Africa around Zanzibar (about 1897)[4] and Port Sudan. It arrived in Australia via ship but has up to now been exterminated. Recently, it has made its arrival in Europe and has been breeding in the Dutch harbour town Hook of Holland since 1998.
A population between 200 and 400 birds has been present in Sham Shui Po, New Kowloon, Hong Kong, in particular Lai Kok Estate and Sham Shui Po Park, as well as Kowloon Tsai Park in Kowloon Tsai.[5] An individual has been present in Cork Harbour on the south coast of Ireland since early September 2010.[6]
In the New World, a small population of house crows is established in the area around St. Petersburg, Florida.[7]
It is associated with human settlements throughout its range, from small villages to large cities. In Singapore, there was a density of 190 birds/km2 in 2001 with efforts to suppress the population in planning.[8][9]
Due to a human population explosion in the areas it inhabits, this species has also proportionately multiplied. Being an omnivorous scavenger has enabled it to thrive in such circumstances.
The invasive potential for the species is great all over the tropics. This species is able to make use of resources with great flexibility and appears to be associated with humans, and no populations are known to exist independently of humans.
Behaviour
Diet
House crows feed largely on refuse around human habitations, small reptiles and mammals,[11] and other animals such as insects and other small invertebrates, eggs, nestlings, grain and fruits. House crows have also been observed swooping down from the air and snatching baby squirrels. Most food is taken from the ground, but also from trees as opportunity arises. They are highly opportunistic birds and given their omnivorous diet, they can survive on nearly anything that is edible. These birds can be seen near marketplaces and garbage dumps, foraging for scraps. They have also been observed to eat sand after feeding on carcasses.[12]
Nesting
At least some trees in the local environment seem to be necessary for successful breeding although house crows occasionally nest on telephone towers.[13] It lays 3–5 eggs in a typical stick nest, and occasionally there are several nests in the same tree. In South Asia they are parasitized by the Asian koel. Peak breeding in India as well as Peninsular Malaysia is from April to July. Large trees with big crowns are preferred for nesting.[14]
Roosting
House crows roost communally near human habitations and often over busy streets. A study in Singapore found that the preferred roost sites were in well-lit areas with a lot of human activity, close to food sources and in tall trees with dense crowns that were separated from other trees. The roost sites were often enclosed by tall buildings.[15]
Voice
The voice is a harsh kaaw-kaaw.[3]
Relationship to humans[edit]
It is suspected that paramyxoviruses, such as PMV 1 that causes of Newcastle disease[16] may be spread by Corvus splendens. Outbreaks of Newcastle disease in India were often preceded by mortality in crows.[17] They have also been found to carry Cryptococcus neoformans, which can cause cryptococcosis in humans.[18]
House crows in Tanzania curiously showed an absence of blood parasites, although some species such as Trypanosoma corvi have been first described from this species.[19] Pathologist T.R. Lewis expressed surprise at the numbers of haematozoa present in the blood of house crows from Calcutta.[20]

Great Uncle and noted pathologist Dr. Horatio X. Peg traveled with the Springer and Schofield Brother's Circus teaching physicians, veterinarians and taxidermists the science of comparative anatomy. He insisted that all students wear silk top hats and comport themselves as gentlemen throughout the process to avoid conflict with local constabularies.
Never the less, Dr. Peg became a wanted man in Knockemstiff, Ohio after he asked for dissection volunteers while inebriated at a local pub. He was forced to blend in with the circus performers. When the Ringmaster would not relinquish his position Dr. Horatio X. Peg assumed the role of lion cage attendant Unfortunately he still smelled like a butcher to the big cats and he sobered up to discover his right arm in the jaws of an hungry lion.
Although he lost his arm in the incident, Dr. Horatio X. Peg survived. He spent the better part of two years attempting to attach the arm of an orangutan to his shoulder so he could continue teaching. He succumbed to the ravages of a perfidious immune system and was laid to rest in the Ozark mountains. His contributions to the science of comparative anatomy were lost as the circus clowns rolled cigarettes using the paper of his notebooks and journals.

In 1998 L.(Leo) W.D. van Raamsdonk of Wageningen University described and named this beautiful Tulip for Thomas Frederick Hewer (1904-1994). Hewer was in fact a professional pathologist but also an ardent gardener and botanical explorer. After his retirement from Bristol University he traveled widely in the remote areas of Afghanistan and environs collecting plants with fellow expedition members. In 1971 he came upon this Tulip in Baghlan Province on the northern slopes of the Salang Pass.
It soon found its way to horticulturalists worldwide. Here it's brightly flowering in the Hortus Botanicus of Amsterdam.

Villa Della Porta Bozzolo at Casalzuigno in the province of Varese, northern Italy. It was donated by the heirs of the Italian senator and pathologist Camillo Bozzolo to the Fondo per l'Ambiente Italiano—the National Trust of Italy—who now manage it.
Due to the limited amount of space in front of the building, Porani elected to arrange the grounds lengthwise from the bottom to the top, in parallel with the villa's facade, thus contravening the established design norms according to which the garden should have been in line with the main reception rooms.
As such, four large terraces were created, on different levels, connected by a majestic staircase with balustrades, statues and fountains. Later years saw the addition of the ''theatre'', perhaps the most innovative element of the gardens: a large sloping lawn closed off by a sizeable fish pond and a steep path (perhaps once flanked by cypresses), surrounded by woodland and stretching out on the Belvedere hill right to the edge of the estate.
Villa Della Porta Bozzolo in Casalzuigno in de provincie Varese in Noord-Italië. Het werd door de erfgenamen van de Italiaanse senator en patholoog Camillo Bozzolo geschonken aan de Fondo per l'Ambiente Italiano- de Nationale Trust van Italië - die het nu beheert.
Vanwege de beperkte ruimte aan de voorkant van het gebouw koos Porani ervoor om het terrein in de lengterichting van beneden naar boven te rangschikken, parallel aan de gevel van de villa.
Zo ontstonden vier grote terrassen op verschillende niveaus, verbonden door een majestueuze trap met balustrades, beelden en fonteinen. In latere jaren werd het ''theater'' toegevoegd, misschien wel het meest innovatieve element van de tuinen: een groot glooiend grasveld, afgesloten door een grote visvijver en een steil pad (misschien ooit geflankeerd door cipressen), omringd door bossen en dat zich uitstrekte over de Belvedere-heuvel tot aan de rand van het landgoed.
This shot of Rolo is at the height of his full-out medicated state (Benadryl and Prednisone). Happily, the spring in his step has returned as he is slowly being weaned from the grip of prescription drugs. We're happy the pathologist's assesment is not lymphoma, but rather a potential allergic reaction. Rolo's had a life-long issue with allergies, whether that be from environmental elements such as grass, grains or chicken by-products... With looks like this, he still manages to keep us on our toes, and constantly in our minds.
Sadly, this may be the last year I am able to to gather leaves in the autumn from around the large elm trees on my property. The elm bark beetle with its load of deadly fungus (Dutch Elm Disease) has ravaged most of my beautiful elms over the past three years. I picked these up last weekend from around the base of my last really big living elm. I saw signs of the disease in this elm about a month ago. Goodbye elms.
There are elm cultivars that are DED resistant, planting them in the wild is impractical for me.
For more information see: www.na.fs.fed.us/spfo/pubs/howtos/ht_ded/ht_ded.htm
"Dutch Elm Disease was first identified in 1918 in Belgium by a Dutch pathologist who observed the fungus disease spreading through northern Europe. The disease likely arrived on logs from eastern Europe that were used to rebuild bridges. The disease as well as its carriers, the large and small European elm bark beetles, were inadvertently exported to North America on elm burls for the furniture industry. Three distinct entry points are known: Ohio in
1930, New Jersey in 1933 and Quebec around 1940. Despite efforts to halt it, the disease spread rapidly and virtually eliminated elm as an urban tree and reduced its status as a forest species in Ontario by the early 1970's."

Wanted to share some good news, since I had shared earlier that I had Prostate cancer. I still do, but I met with a cancer team at the University of North Carolina's Lineberger Cancer center yesterday, and got news that is making me feel fantastic. ( They are my third opinion and the team there is fantastic!)
They read my biopsy results slightly differently from the first pathologist and gave me a gleason score of 6 (3+3) vs 7 (4+3) That makes a huge difference in treatment options because gleason score 6 is considered non-agressive and slow growing and non-metastic. They think that result fits better and is more likely true given my PSA scores and the MRI results.
What it means to me, is that I don't have to have it treated now at all. I go on "active surveillance" which means that in December I go back for a new PSA test, a more targeted Biopsy and another MRI. If things are good i keep doing nothing but living my normal life and I will repeat that every 6 months from now on.
I could be just kicking the treatment can down the road or I may never have a problem! The tests are not nothing...but I'll take them any day over the treatments and potential nasty side effects. Thanks to those of you who have commented with your support or have reached out to me in private messages! I love my Flickr friends and "family."
A chance picture taken in Caister Road, Great Yarmouth of E41OAH, a Volvo B10M fitted with what in my opinion was an dreadful looking East Lancs body. I can't see a fleet number, so presume that it was likely 41 in the fleet, although is often wrong to presume these things.
District hospital is displayed as it had been for years, but I understand that the main hospital is now the 'James Paget Hospital', named after the famous locally born surgeon and pathologist.
22nd September 1990.
A true journey back in time, the Skolfield-Whittier House was home to three generations of a prominent Brunswick family with careers in seafaring, medicine and education. Among the former residents are Alfred Skolfield a successful sea captain, Dr. Alice A.S. Whittier, Maine’s first female pediatrician, and Dr. Frank Whittier, one of America’s first forensic pathologists.
Closed and unheated for sixty years, the house remains almost exactly as it was in 1925 when it was last a occupied full-time. It has everything from the receipts used in the house’s construction in the 1850s to the 1920s spices in the kitchen pantry. Its seventeen rooms are viewed during personalized guided tours that provide an unparalleled glimpse into nineteenth-century upper-middle-class life in Maine.
