Doctors Without Borders is a genuine and proactive care of people and the global scale of their operations.
The sound medical care is a right not a luxury, and sees Doctors Without Borders as a persistent and successful organization determined to make this a tangible fact rather than a vague idea predicated on the approval of any political, religious or moral system.
Second Life, a community without borders, seems a perfect platform for both getting that message out and supporting their endeavors.
A Vermilion Flycatcher catches one before it turns into a flyer, on the west bank of the Devils River in Val Verde County, Texas.
Normally the SLR runs 393 and 394 at night making it difficult to get pictures during the day. Today the SLR decided to run a plow west from Lewiston Junction to MP 90. A lot of the snow from the last snowstorm has settled or melted, but it never hurts to be proactive pushing back the snowbanks and clearing the flangeways for future snowstorms. Here the SLR is crossing the Wild River which meets with the Androscoggin River just beyond the SLR bridge. The former BAR plow and the 3805 are almost to MP 83 with a few more miles to clear before heading back to Lewiston Junction.
I am extremely excited for the new year! I wonder how people think about the new year. The date itself is arbitrary; it has no real meaning. Every new year, I enjoy reflecting on the past year. I do engage in the common practice of making new years resolutions. Mine is simple; it's not a piece of shit. Sounds aggressive. To me, this statement means not being lazy and to try to be a moral person.
As I've written before I enjoy periods of self-reflections. When I think about the last year, there are many things I did not expect to happen. A year ago, I did not foresee my knee surgery. I had no idea I would study and love Anthropology. Or even know the amazing people I would meet this year. Even re-connecting with old friends and learning to forgive others.
All I can hope for in the future is to keep moving forward with the opportunities given me. To continue and be proactive with my life.

I've never been religious, but I think I understand the fundamental bases of prayer.
For one thing, it's ritualistic. Whether you do it five times a day on your knees facing east, or weekly on Sundays, or nightly before bed, or every Saturday morning, or whatever... it offers the comfort and grounding and predictability of prescribed routine.
I guess it also makes you feel productive or proactive... in situations where you really have no control.
And I suppose it gives hope. At least... I hope it does.
Really, though... I think prayer's a fancy word for wishing. Except that... instead of just nebulously putting thoughts out there, you direct them to some imagined being who... in theory... has the power to give you what you want.
I have prayed. But it's typically along the lines of "Please, just put me out of my misery." And it's not directed anywhere. Just to myself, to distract me a bit, because that's the best it gets sometimes.
And because... well, a person reaches a point where they just can't take it any more.
Sufferers of chronic pain are vulnerable, I think. Especially when we've tried almost everything out there and STILL we're stuck with the same recurring horrors. I can't count how much I've spent on wacky "cures" and "therapies" through the years. And hey... if it were psychosomatic, I'd be pain-free... because... each and every time, I get fully pumped about the promise of relief from the therapy-du-jour:
Acupuncture. Acupressure. Massage. Physiotherapy. Heat. Cold. Drug therapy. Aromatherapy. Herbs of all descriptions. Dietary changes. Yoga. Stretching. Meditation. New bed, new couch, new glasses, new desk, new work environment. Blah blah blah.
The endless failure to get results is just so... disappointing. Disillusioning. Dispiriting. Flat-out depressing.
It leaves a person desperate. And in desperation, praying.
Not because I think it will work, but because I've exhausted every other option.

Contemplation in the Light
A poem by Peter S. Quinn
Contemplation in the light
Those need somewhere to go
Into the circling of the night
With some of its dowering glow
Taking the departing by hours
That's been waiting and ready
In the pouring out showers
Of the falling drops so steady
In the look of the city light
At the evening passing gone
Before labyrinth of the night
Shall vanished and be done
From the lanes and city routs
With every sideway in its line
When the shadows here intrudes
With the day and falling sunshine
Reverie in dark shade
Every fulsome turning point
That in stepwise turning grade
Comes to border the dimly joint
Where the hour falls to sleep
In the pondering of a dream
And doorways of reality sweep
Through its gloomy nightly beam
We’re currently in the lounge at OR Tambo International Airport, South Africa - waiting for the second leg of our flight to Maun, Botswana.
So many great memories from our previous trips here, so I’m really looking forward to what Botswana will bring us this time. Here’s one of those great memories from a previous Botswana tour.
We had tracked down this lioness with three cubs and spent many hours with them over a period of several days. The best moments were when mom decided to move to a different spot and bring the cubs with her. Those cute little bundles of fur bouncing around, jumping on each other and practice their stalking skills.
In wildlife photography it’s almost always about luck: we have little to no influence over the behavior of the subjects that we photograph. Most successful wildlife images are therefore primarily the result of luck. This one is no different. I had no influence on where this family was going, what they were going to do, how they would organize themselves in the frame, nor on the light, etc.
The only thing you can do as a wildlife photographer is to focus on the things you know or have influence on. Knowing your subject is critical when you want to make the right decisions. In this case I anticipated that the lions might be walking to a waterhole - it was that time of day and there was one close by. Instead of following the family and reacting to their actions, I decided to drive straight to the waterhole to give us some time to put ourselves in the right spot. There was no direct light anymore, so that was not a factor.
Looking at the small waterhole, there was one side that I liked, the other side was ugly. So I asked my guide to park the vehicle on the ugly side of the waterhole. That also meant that the lions would not go and drink on the ugly side, because we were already occupying that spot.
When the lions arrived, everything worked out exactly how I wanted it. We were very lucky to get what we got, but the image is the result of proactively managing our luck.

so i finally got to see some today! and hey, it's my face! IN the daylight i got to see! more hilarious things in the life and times of grad students today. i really do enjoy it.
what i don't enjoy now is my current annoyance with the girls who live across the hall. when i said i would think about leaving you my spare key over thanksgiving and christmas break in case the internet goes down and needs to be rebooted, what i did NOT mean was that i'd give you my spare key immediately, for use on a daily basis, and while i'm still in town. i get that it's a nuisance, but if the intarwebs break on a regular day, suck it up, take the shuttle like every other normal student and go to the university library for their wifi – get out of your apartment, get some exercise, meet some people, be proactive and communicative – god knows your english skills could use some work.
i apologize. sincerely.
it's mean, and inappropriate, i know. and they're both perfectly nice people. and, in her defense, the one apparently learned the proper use of the word "sucks" and used it today in correct reference to the lack of internet connection. i just don't like having people in my face about something so outwardly controllable and, in reality, ridiculous, within the first 30 seconds after i get in the door. i'm annoyed that it keeps happening and that i keep letting it get to me.
and as far as getting my spare key? shoot, at least buy me a cup of coffee first. ;)

Autumn Cuttings..Autumn is the perfect time to lift and divide perennials. The soil is still warm and moist, creating ideal conditions for replanting. Bulbs are one of the most rewarding autumn jobs, giving big splashes of spring colour for little effort.Autumn is a proactive season. Summer is about maintenance – deadheading and tidying – but autumn is when you can truly shape the garden’s future.
....for now....
two weeks ago, Andrew had a cancerous lump removed from his breast... they said this type of cancer is very aggressive... my vet removed a lot of tissue that connected it and today he went for his stitches to be removed and x-rays to make sure it hasn't spread.....
thank the Good Lord he was all clear....
my vet is speaking to the oncologist to see if there is any medicine, that won't make him sick, to take proactively....
if not... we will just retake the x-rays again in 3 months.
Thank you all, my dear friends, for your prayers and positive thoughts...
I don't know what we would do without this little lover boy!!!
Spiders web
I love to try and capture spiders webs in my garden.
A spider web, spiderweb, spider's web, or cobweb is a structure created by a spider out of proteinaceous spider silk extruded from its spinnerets, generally meant to catch its prey.
Spider webs are built from silk, which is produced within the body of the spider and pulled out of two openings–spinnerets–with the spider's hind legs. ... Sticky silk or viscid silk. Used to capture prey, this stretchy, wet silk makes up the spiraling threads of the web. Non-sticky silk or dragline silk.
Spider webs may lack the stiffness of steel, but it has similar tensile strength and a higher strength-to-density ratio. "Quantitatively, spider silk is five times stronger than steel of the same diameter," explains a fact sheet from the University of Bristol School of Chemistry.
1. Spiders have a design sense.
Some webs are extremely intricate. Most people assume that the design is purely functional, but this is not always the case. Some spiders, particularly the large family known as orb weavers, actively decorate their webs with extra silk designs known stabilimenta. The name “stabilimenta” represents the bias of early researchers who assumed that these structures were structural, but the absence of stabilimenta in the webs of nocturnal spiders strongly suggests that these structures are designed to be seen.
2. Spiderwebs don’t intercept prey; they attract them.
The presence of deliberate structure dispels another common misperception about spiders, that they set up in a promising area of insect travel and wait to see what happens. However, many spiders seem to be far more proactive in their web building, building webs that are designed to actively attract insect prey, not just trap the unlucky.
3. Spiderwebs are shiny for a reason.
Many insects have better visual perception in UV wavelengths of light. Spiderwebs are much more reflective in UV light, possibly attracting insects. The decorations may also resemble vegetation gaps where insects are more prone to fly.
4. Spiders are sneaky.
Decorations come with a risk; while they might attract more insects, they are also more visible to predators who may threaten the spiders. When you see a web with old exoskeletons and egg sacs hanging in it, it could well be the case that the spider left those on purpose as camouflage.
5. Spiders think big.
Overall, web size is also carefully set. Most insects caught by spiders are small; a larger web increases the odds of catching more flies. However, spiders may not be able to fully thrive and reproduce while consuming solely run-of-the-mill small insects. In a study of orb weavers, most spiders rarely caught more than 2 small insects per day. For true success, some spiders may need the occasional big score—the rare but desirable large prey (larger than the spider itself) that gets snagged in the web.
6. Spiders often replace their web every day.
Many spiders actually replace their entire web every single day. Larger webs cost the spider more energy to produce, which really adds up with each rebuild. Large catches apparently more than offset the increased energy output.
So really, spider webs are more amazing even than they first appear. For a construction job done right, get a spider to do it.

Every year we hold a Harvest Fest for our backyard visitors. It's as much fun for us as it is for them.
However, after setting everything up, we usually have to wait an hour or so for our visitors to show up. The change to the yard is usually quite extensive, so it takes time for them to get over their shock.
So this year, I decided to be proactive and am already setting out several goodie bowls, mixing things up, so our visitors can get accustomed to seeing new things. Hopefully this will cut down on some of our "waiting time" on "the day" of the event.
As you can see, this little Greedy Gut has gotten over his shock. Just wait until he sees what we have planned! LOL!

Arms raised, reaching for the sky, half alive and broken. Brittle bones and tattered dreams, a picture tells of words unspoken. Bright lights and dark caves, my mind and soul are lost, lost sometimes, sometimes...
I get asked why I don’t write more, and to be honest, sometimes I just can’t make sense of my words or feelings. I’ve been in such a rut but lately I’ve been feeling better after realizing that part of the reason I’ve been so down could be laziness. I’ve been lazy, I’ve been gaining weight, and in turn my creativity has suffered, I’ve been lazy in my process, and processing. That all ended today, in hopes of being proactive and breaking free of what has been like heavy chains on my soul. Sometimes I just want to feel normal, like “tomorrow I’ll be better”.
A few months ago while out with a client we were treated to one of the most amazing, and strange displays of light, and clouds I’ve ever seen, with temps over 100°, and random lightning (no thunder) striking often and randomly. I was lucky to capture a frame with lightning while the sun was peaking through.
Tonight 30.01.2024 sees the local farmer being proactive in advance of the next winter storm predicted for 31.01.2024 and taking advantage of the dry ground to spread slurry in advance of the rain so it will be washed into the ground and feed the land - farmers are not allowed to apply slurry and have it lay on the surface for days on end.
Philadelphia Museum of Art. Three red-tail feathers are clearly visible, and at least three more have started coming in. Unfortunately this morning we found a bait box filled with rat poison right in the middle of the hawk's prime hunting ground. A large, sluggish rat stumbled across the grass eliminating any doubt regarding the poison's effectiveness. There is also little doubt that the rats the hawks have been eating recently are tainted. The poison boxes have since been removed (thanks to some very proactive and persistant fans of the hawks) and both hawks are still accounted for. Hopefully this is only a scare.
“I cheated…..”
I wanted to re-shoot the horizontal image (posted two images prior) by shooting a pan with a vertical movement. Call it artist proactive but I distorted the original vertical size image by expanding the width from 16 to 20 without changing change the length (24). Why? …… I wanted to enclose the middle opening of the sky to render and even wider view rather than a “skinny” view from inside the arch but have it appear as a stitched horizontal. I wonder if I had not told you would you have seen the slight distortion or was everything all caught up in the super wide 14mm lens? That would have yielded an image like this one but with a wider view. Would a re-shot with a bit more width add to the composition or did this do justice for an inside shot of Double Arch?
I’ve been reading about all the positive effects of gratitude. I need to be better at proactively giving thanks for each day. Sometimes they blur together with all of the demands of life, but each one is precious.
Ivy, the proactive plant that finds life the hard way, sits here drinking up the water that sits on its leaves. Though, actually, I've no idea if that's actually possible. I mean, I'm sure some plants can absorb moisture through leaves. Maybe not ivy. Maybe the ivy gets wet and just gets annoyed. Not like I can ask it any questions. Stupid ivy.

I was so happy to get another one of these. My original Thingamaboob broke and I got it at the Ashton Pub in Ashton Ontario before we moved here.
The Thingamaboob is more than just a keychain, it is your key to early detection of breast cancer. It is put out by the Canadian Cancer Society.
Each ball on the chain represents the size of a lump that can be detected. See notes.
As the card with the Thingamaboob says "Be aware. Be proactive. Get the facts."
Only certain Provinces carry the Thingamaboob check out boobagram.cancer.ca/thing-a-ma-boob.asp
to see if you can purchase one in your area.
Also, you can spread the word by sending the women in your life a "Boob - a - gram". It is a light-hearted email greeting that reminds your loved ones the importance of being breast aware! Visit www.cancer.ca/boobagram to send yours today!
Jingoism is nationalism in the form of aggressive and proactive foreign policy, such as a country's advocacy for the use of threats or actual force, as opposed to peaceful relations, in efforts to safeguard what it perceives as its national interests. Colloquially, jingoism is excessive bias in judging one's own country as superior to others – an extreme type of nationalism.
Yah, we are trying to be more humane and "proactive" in the mouse business. haven't seen any since I put this up. I figure it "freaks them out".
Crows and other corvids often harass birds of prey in flight or perched. Why they do this at the risk of injury or death is a matter of great speculation. Some suggestions are intuitively attractive- groups of crows are proactively protecting their young, or in some cases they are attempting to steal prey that the raptor has captured.
Sometimes corvids seem to bug raptors for no logical reason, as here with a solo crow taking on a red-tailed hawk in mid-air. Presumably the crow's young have fledged by now, and the hawk did not have anything in its talons. Note how the hawk has rotated its body in flight so that its talons can be used to protect itself.
Crows are among the most "clever"/ intelligent birds, exhibiting learning similar to primates. A crow species in New Caledonia construct intricate tools to probe trees for larvae, and pet crows are able to distinguish different human faces. Who knows why they take on birds that are larger and powerful, but perhaps they have their reasons.

In SL my intentions are to be a proactive friend, work on my photography, be helpful, create, and always be kind.
In life.. I am going to find my own way. As a mum of two adults who are amazing, a dog mum, a hiker, a skier, a photographer... I think I can keep busy!
From me in both worlds to all my flickrs, friends, and family... I adore you all, and can't wait to make new memories with you all. ♥

something we are all guilty of, life gets In The way, it can wait til
tomorrow, you're hoping it is something else, fear, we all have it, but if you notice a lump get it checked right away, before it spreads, before it gets worse, give yourself the gift of life, be proactive, let us help you, ladies.... do your self check ups, get your exams and stay healthy, early detection is key. My heart goes out to all of you who have battled this disease and I applaud your courage, 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 much love to you.
I have some amazing woman in my life who have beat this beast, unfortunately my grandmother did not, but she fought hard for a long time. She was a strong lady. And we miss her dearly.

I've noticed an increase in the numbers of flies and bees recently. The insects are definitely out pollinating the spring flowers, in between the showers of rain.
BTW I hope Optus customers are proactive in changing some of their details.

Yesterday was my final consultation with Dr Brown at St Martins Canterbury. Here all my blood, scan and assessment results were bought together and the definitive diagnosis explained to Melanie and myself, that of Dementia. Hit hard with all the implications and support, progression and referrals I have been given. The good new's we can take from this is now we know and we can move forward. We are already well on the way to Dementia prepare our lives with the move and other actions taken over the past year. Dr Brown has referred me to the world leading Addenbrookes Hospital Cognitive Disorders Clinic already and my new GP in Suffolk have been so proactive. So there we are, taking each day as it comes......

After posting my gloomy comments with my sombre foggy sunrise pics yesterday, it was a sunny crisp warm morning here.
Do you ever look for a 'sign' from the universe?
Well, I don't.
But I do think there's something intriguing about the theory regarding 'The Law of Attraction'.
i.e.: What is in your head, you attract.
www.wikihow.com/Use-the-Law-of-Attraction
This link gives 7 steps, but honestly, quite often things start to happen quickly after just making a decision with faith, and I'm not talking about religion here.
Just simple trust within your being.
After my dispirited comments concluded with the half-baked woeful intention (well, it gets boring being tragic after so long, doesn't it…), to become more proactive towards creating/enjoying a more positive existence, a cheerful visitor dropped in to help amaze me out of my stagnation.
Just fluttered past my eyeline, choosing a resting spot in the nearby frangipani tree to strengthen his brand new wings in the sun.
And stayed there for so long, that I had time to run inside for the camera, return with a chair to stand on for a better angle of view, set up at various points/distances, fiddle with settings, take about 120 photos…well, you never know, none of them might be any good..
He was quite content to enjoy that sunny spot for ages and although as always, the breeze was waving the garden around, he stayed almost completely still.
What a gift..

Leslie Karayan was killed when a truck hit the Annerley Road railway bridge and rolled over on him in 2013. I am no longer a cyclist, but more respect both ways would no doubt reduce the number of deaths on our roads. The Brisbane City Council has been amazingly proactive with the opening of large numbers of bicycle lans, cycle ways and cycle freeways around Brisbane. Despite all sorts of warning signs and barriers, this rail bridge continues to be regularly hit by trucks as do many others around Brisbane. It does make you wonder!

Off the Boat and heading to town, St Alban's Anglican Church in Copenhagen was our first stop. It says they are part of the Diocese in Europe of The Church of England, and the worldwide Anglican Communion. The present church was built close to the heart of Copenhagen in 1885 and was consecrated in 1887 The Church was named after Saint Alban, the first martyr of England, murdered on the 22nd of June in the year 303 A.D. In line with Synod recommendations, the Church Council has decided that St. Alban’s should become a green church and proactive on environmental issues. This reflects badly on the United States and its lackluster approach to a green environment
...or Chicago, or Vancouver, or Philadelphia. This is Fort Worth, which has done a much more proactive job in encouraging pedestrian, bus, and bike-friendliness along W Magnolia Ave than its neighbour Dallas has on any of its streets. In many cities, the pictured street layout of one thru lane (with left turn lanes where needed), bike lane, and parking lane in each direction is commonplace, but it's almost unheard of in Texas. Magnolia Ave itself was until very recently a four-lane street, but city officials took the unfathomable step of removing two of those lanes (one in each direction). A bold and probably unpopular move in car-intensive Texas, but one to be commended. My ol' hometown deserves a big pat on the back for this one.
many years ago i was reading a historical trivia about a renowned american general, henry ware lawton, who was killed in action during the fil-am war of 1899, the first and only time this ever happened. i've always wanted to see the place where this historical battle happened. after a continuous research , to my surprise, i recently found out that i have been to this place and is only fair distance away. so i ventured back to this place and found the monuments commemorating this battle . this is the actual place where the battle happened. lawton's battalion was on the opposite side of the river while the forces of geronimo is where i am standing . from this angle you could see that lawton's forces were on a vantage position and firing downward to the filipino army. henry lawton stood at 6ft2inches tall, wore a yellow coat and a white tall helmet. he is known to be a proactive commander and command from the front line making him very visible and an easy target for sniper shot at 300 yards away. so from this angle you could imagine how he stood out. he was killed in action with a sniper bullet from this distance

This one is from a family trip to Big Sur with the intent of a picnic come sunset photoshoot. With the experience of getting lost last year while searching these lilies with two of my friends, this time I made sure my coordinates were perfect. There was a lot of crowd and towards sunset everyone occupied the best spots. I took it too lightly and finally I was the one without any spot at sunset. Anyways, this was good experience, will be proactive next year.

Bonorong is a Sanctuary for wildlife run by a passionate team of like-minded people. We’re a social enterprise: a little business with a biiiig heart. The skills and funds generated through the Sanctuary allow us to proactively address problems in our surrounding environment and communities.
A visit to Bonorong is a chance to come closer than ever to something wild and fragile. You’ll come face to face with animals that went extinct long ago in other parts of Australia — the same animals we’re working hard to protect now.
Seen on a recent trip to West Wittering. The clouds were definitely some of the best I have seen.
I have noticed that one or two people have removed me as contacts as I have not been too proactive with my comments over the last week. A bit harsh as I hadn't realised that one missed comment on someone's photostream mean't you were out - a bit cut throat this Flickr commenting business isn't it!
