I confess that the Azure complex still has me scratching my head. This is a Spring Azure (Celastrina ladon) or Spring-form-Summer Azure (Celastrina neglecta) or Holly Azure (C. idella). I photographed this butterfly today on the flood plain of the Patuxent River at Patuxent Research Center in Maryland where any or all of the three species may be present. My understanding is that a photo of the upper wings would provide the ability of separating Spring Azure ( darker blue with no white-lined wing veins) from Spring-Form-Summer Azure (lighter blue with some white-lined wing veins). However, how often do you get Azure Butterflies to rest with their wings open for a photograph? Not often. Any help among my flickr contacts as to what I have? Someone must like these butterflies enough to have mastered their identification. P.S. thanks everyone for nailing down this Azure Butterfly as a Celastrina neglecta. For additional information on separating these two species see: www.flickr.com/photos/dragonflyhunter/14032599074/
BILL MOYERS: You say, "…the way the human mind is built, antipathy can impede comprehension." Rationality. "Hating protestors, flag burners and even terrorists makes it harder to understand them well enough to keep others from joining their ranks."
ROBERT WRIGHT: It's a tricky balance to strike because on the one hand, understanding terrorists and how they became terrorists, which is in our interests if we want to discourage the creation of more terrorists, tends to involve a kind of sympathy that in turn can lead you to say they are not to blame for what they did.
And you don't want to say that because as a practical matter you have to punish people when you can when they do bad things. So you don't want to let go of the idea of moral culpability but you do need to kind of put yourself in their heads. And that is really a great challenge in the modern world.

One of the things that really astounds me about GSD's is their intelligence level. I can actually talk to Kelly and ask her something in a form of a sentence and she makes eye contact and understands and responds if necessary. You can see it in their eyes, they understand us quite well.
I wanted a moody shot, so I processed this into BW.
Andy and Samson weren't friends at the beginning. Andy was insanely allergic, and therefore miserable 99% of the time he was around Samson. They were both complete assholes to each other for at least the first six months of living together. But at some point, I believe it was during some scary thunderstorms while I was away on business, Samson and Andy bonded. And they developed a mutual understanding. Samson lets Andy make him dance like a puppet, flip him upside down, and generally harrass him, as long as Andy continues to give him the best damn back scratches he's ever known. Andy finally adjusted to Samson, his allergies went away, and they're great friends now.

Understanding Leeds Most Common Crimes
Leeds is the largest city in the county if West Yorkshire, that is highly popular and known for its shopping, nightlife, universities, and sport. It is a city also known for its parks and beautiful green spaces that make it a very appealing city for tourists and visitors.
However, in past years Leeds has been known and recognized for its high crime rate. This is something that has reflected negatively on the city, deterring visitors and impacting on Leeds residents’ movements around the city. Despite Leeds’s crime ridden past, the past year or so has shown an overall decline in crimes committed, with a 2.6 per cent reduction in offences in West Yorkshire in 2019/20, and around 7,600 fewer victims, according to the West Yorkshire Police.
What are these crimes that are still being committed?
New police data, obtained by the Yorkshire Evening Post under the Freedom of Information (FOI) ACT, has revealed the nine most commonly recorded crimes in north Leeds wards from April 2019 to March 2020. Here they are:
1. Violence Without Injury
There were a total of 5,335 violent crimes without injury recorded in Leeds within this time frame.
2. Burglary – Residential
There were 2,188 residential burglaries recorded in Leeds from April 2019 to March 2020.
There are three main types of burglary, they are: opportunistic burglary, targeted/planned burglary, and distraction burglary...

A greater understanding of cultural nuances and traditions might help young people make wise judgments when they interact more with people from different cultures as they mature and become young adults.

Understanding population dynamics is critical to avoiding static perceptions of human and environmental vulnerability. Changes that affect the size, distribution, and composition of human populations also affect both the nature of vulnerability and adjustments in natural or human systems in response to environmental change.
‘The Demography of Adaptation to Climate Change,’ a new edited volume from the United Nations Population Fund, International Institute for Environment and Development, and El Colegio de Mexico explores these themes. Three of the book’s contributors share perspectives on the importance of population dynamics for adaptation, ways to use available population and census data in assessing vulnerability and resilience, and the application of these approaches for urban vulnerability and adaptation in Malawi and Indonesia.

Planning into 2019 and coming from the next few many years, it's crucial that the particular human element in web application software testing isn't overlooked. Even with the expansion of AI and automatic testing, greater collaboration and even more investment within the buyer representation side of QA is where we consider companies can truly build positive differentiation. bit.ly/2F7uMSZ
My understanding is that the government wants to sell off this block to developers (that could have been a misunderstanding and it was about the owner/zoning). Residents have hung out flags and banners in protest. The adjacent development project Northern Street pedestrian shopping area, was mostly without tenants in the new high-end retail space and condos.
As of 2010 the nearby Cinema Moscow is also being threatend by redevelopment. Many architectural and urban icons of the city have already been lost, like the Youth House Tower.
