A young lion cub walks, side by side, with her mother in a virtual timeline. Cubs are born sequestered from the pride, where they live the first few months of their lives. While their mother goes off to hunt, she leaves them alone, generally well hidden. At these times they are most vulnerable to predation from a wide variety of other animals. At several months of age, a lioness introduces her young offspring to the pride. They now enjoy the added protection afforded by numbers, and females and young males will almost always share in nursery duties. When she is full grown the cub will have become an integrated member of the pride, and with time will bear offspring of her own. #LionCubs
Since I have made so many great friends through Flickr I wonder if this will help Kita and the temple cat make friends?
Arriving into Waycross GA from the south.
Just over my shoulder is the vast Rice Yard, the main CSX hub for the southern states.

2 years and 2 consecutive visit to fair .. 2 failed attempts .. 3 yrs of waiting for Mahim ka mela so that i can shoot these visuals as the only time Maut ka kuaa comes is during the fair .. i don't give up so easily .. i don't give up ... kept dreaming that one day i will get these shots .. so got it this year .. not one but two with a panorama thrown in as bonus .. so things happen only when they are destined to happen ... Bas haar nahi maan ni chahiye ...
this was a very risky shot and not the panorama as i stood on the rickety railings which kept trembling with the onslaught f the moving vehicles ... that took me a feet up to get this aerial kind of view ... this probably was my most riskiest shot .. aise bahut water tanks aur terrace par chadha hoon but this was the most riskiest .. hahahahaha .. little imbalance could have taken me straight down in the Kuaa .. hahahahahaha

The Wall of Death, motordrome, silodrome or Well of Death (aka "Maut ka Kuaa", India) is a carnival sideshow featuring a silo- or barrel-shaped wooden cylinder, ranging from 20 to 36 feet (6.1 to 11 m) in diameter, inside of which motorcyclists, or the drivers of miniature automobiles, travel along the vertical wall and perform stunts, held in place by centrifugal force.

These LTEX units looked like "parts engines" when seen at the diesel shop. In this edit they're working the Cleveland Works Railway's West 3rd Street yard.===March 6, 2023

Por su ventana redonda la ameba Arcella abre sus brazos, haciendo de su casa cúpula una caracola sin rizos para la que cada gota de agua es un inmenso mar dulce.
Las amebas del género Arcella viven dentro de su casa de iglú, un palacio de puerta redonda desde el que Arcella se asoma con timidez para palpar lo que la luz difumina sin que desde su estancia se deje ver.
Por su apariencia, el cuerpo desnudo de Arcella, con dos corazones redondos que son sus núcleos, recuerda al de otras amebas que van dibujando en silueta de islas cambiantes su paso por los fondos del agua. Costas de cabos agudos, con los que se amarra a su cubierta y que van dibujando sus contornos, mientras que por su puerta, siempre abierta y circular, prolonga su cuerpo en unos pies curiosos, pseudópodos romos, que son su tacto, su gusto y su vista, dedos redondos de lava espesa.
En las especies más comunes, la teca de Arcella, su caparazón de cúpula, es un iglú semiesférico, aunque otras veces, como en Arcella discoides, se muestra casi aplanado y excepcionalmente como en Arcella dentata puede estar adornado en radios que moldean un palacio en forma de estrella, pero siempre esta teca que es su casa protege el delicado cuerpo de esta ameba, que para alimentarse y caminar sobre los fondos, hace asomar sus gruesos brazos de dedo por la puerta circular que se abre en su parte inferior.
Con frecuencia el cascarón de Arcella aparece teñido de los colores de la tierra con hierro y manganeso y está adornado por una fina retícula perfectamente grabada en su superficie. Hoy nuestra Arcella, Arcella hemisphaerica parece que más que protegida por su cascarón, está vestida por un velo transparente que deja ver los detalles más íntimos de su vida en casa y así podemos observarla ahora en sus tareas domésticas sin que parezca sentirse incómoda.
Arcella conforma uno de los géneros más extensos y comunes dentro del grupo de las amebas con caparazón. Se han descrito más de 50 especies, subespecies y variedades, pero muchas descripciones parecen no ser sólidas o se basan en criterios artificiales. No siempre es fácil identificarlas debido a la gran variabilidad que puede presentar su cubierta en la que es muy importante su observación en vista lateral.
Los representantes de este género aparecen en las aguas dulces de todos los continentes y la de hoy, muy probablemente pertenece al complejo de Arcella hemisphaerica, que se caracteriza por presentar un caparazón incoloro, amarillo o marrón, circular en vista polar y hemisférico o algo abovedado en la vista lateral y con un diámetro que generalmente no alcanza las 100 micras de diámetro.
En este grupo de especies el borde de la cúpula en la parte basal puede formar una esquina aguda o algo redondeada, con o sin un borde basal. La apertura basal, que es la puerta por la Arcella asoma sus brazos está invaginada, es circular y aparece bordeada por un pequeño labio rizado. Toda la superficie de la cubierta en estas amebas puede ser lisa o presentar pequeñas depresiones distribuidas regularemente que pueden dar a su contorno apariencia ondulada o estrellada.
En el Real Jardín Botánico el trabajo de investigación que dirige Enrique Lara, centrado en la caracterización genómica de las arcellas de la Península Ibérica, permitirá conocer mejor este grupo tan complejo y desentrañar muchos de sus misterios
Las fotografías, tomadas en vivo a 400 aumentos con la técnica de contraste de interferencia y contraste de fase , proceden de unas muestras de agua recolectadas por Jairo Robla el 8 de marzo de 2021 en una charca temporal de Sevilla, donde esta espcie es relativamente común.

I saw this yesterday but didn't have my camera with me, so had to use the phone to capture the moment

Just for amusement, in 2006 a virtual orchestra was set up outside the Southbank Centre in London. The way it worked was that a piece of classical music was playing on a loop and when you sat on the relevent box you heard the part which the musician in that position was playing above the sound of the orchestra as a whole.

My friend Michael Naimark is exploring new ideas for virtual reality experiences, in collaboration with Google and other researchers. To discuss this work, we got together with two other colleagues, Steve Gano and Jim McKee -- with whom we worked at the Apple Multimedia Lab in the eighties, pushing the envelope on related questions.
We started with a tour of the historic Sentinel Building in North Beach, home of American Zoetrope -- where Francis Coppola worked on many cinematic masterpieces like The Godfather and Apocalypse Now. We checked out the underground screening room and sound mixing room where some of that work took place, then headed upstairs to Michael and Jim’s studios, for a wonderful conversation about the new VR frontier.
Michael and his colleagues are researching how people are represented in virtual reality. Their first experiment at Google’s “Big Chairs” Park led to some helpful guidelines on how to film people for VR, by using different camera angles and distances.
They’re also investigating ‘hyper-images’ that resemble a group of people, but that are shot at different times and composited together to create both ‘credible’ and ‘incredible’ pictures. To enable more experiments like these, Michael is developing ‘IMU VR’, a new type of camera that could make it easier for communities to tell their stories in VR. More on this later.
It was great to reconnect with my colleagues and brainstorm these ideas together. It felt like the good old days, and the creative juices were flowing all over again ...

The more Internet connections we can make, the less "real" connections we seem to have. It seems the majority of contact with the outside world many of us seem to get these days is through the use of one of these.

Normally at this time of year I would be attending a Life Ministries youth "Quake" with the church kids. This year due to COVID the event was on line in an abbreviated form. These pictures are nothing special. Hopefully next year we will be at an actual weekend event again.
