My 2018 Goodreads goal was 25 books and I only read 16, most of which were short (average length: 208 pages). Seven of them were public domain books about singing (which have all been pretty fascinating, but most people probably don't care about them 😂). Singing is one of the reasons I haven't read much, because I always read at night and I always practice singing first thing in the morning, so it's hard to have both and still get enough sleep. Anyway, that's why I'm not beating myself up about not meeting my goal, because I was doing other stuff that was fulfilling and productive. It was a fair trade. . Books I rated 5 stars: - Beneath the Sugar Sky (Wayward Children #3) by Seanan McGuire (READ THIS SERIES, IT'S AWESOME) - Great Singers on the Art of Singing: Educational Conferences with Foremost Artists by James Francis Cooke . That's it! I've never had so few. I did enjoy most of the rest of what I read (my average rating was 3.8), but this was a slow reading year so there weren't as many standouts. So two 4-star books I'd recommend: - The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas - The Loneliest Girl in the Universe by Lauren James . I do intend to read more in 2019, if I can get my routine balanced out! BTW, I'm sciencensorcery on Goodreads if you wanna add me there! . bit.ly/2SvR5q0 . #2018inreview #goodreads #goodreadschallenge via Instagram bit.ly/2AnQfot
Data sourced from the ever-useful Historical Census Browser and processed with OpenOffice Calc. I regret choosing black as my "$4,000 – $4,999" color.
In 1920, the country's most valuable farm buildings existed in the Upper Midwest and Delaware Valley; the least valuable, unsurprisingly, stood in the South.
Leslie County, Kentucky, contained the "worst" structures (with the average farm's buildings worth a mere $213), whereas Nassau County, New York, contained the "best" (its average being $13,442).
The average annual rainfall over the HKH region (5 basins studied here) is approximately 880 mm, with variability of just 5% between years and high spatial variability. The highest rainfall amounts, accounting for more than 70% of the annual total, are received during the summer months with July being the wettest month. The pre-monsoon season receives approximately 16% of the annual total, with only 5% of annual precipitation falling in winter. December and January receive the least precipitation. On average, there are over 215 rainy days per year. There is considerable variation in the distribution of precipitation across the HKH region. Generally, precipitation is lower in the west than in the east, and lower in the north than in the south. The Tibetan plateau and the southern plains of the Indus basin are much dryer than the southeast. Over the past decades, increased monsoon precipitation has been observed over the high mountain belt of the Himalayas, particularly in the east. The greatest decrease in monsoon rainfall has been observed in the south in the Ganges and Indus basins. Seasonal changes are also being observed: winters are getting wetter over most of the central and southern portions of the five basins, and winter precipitation is decreasing over the northern areas of the five basins. While the number of extreme rainfall events appears to be decreasing, the intensity of each event (amount of rainfall) appears to be increasing, especially towards the western parts of the HKH. In summary, over the last few decades and across the region there has been no discernible trend (increase or decrease) in the amount of rainfall, although there has been considerable year-to-year variability.

I've been having a lot of fun with these Light Trails... maybe a little to much but, oh well.
Still makes for good pictures. :D
The Harlequin Ladybirds is larger than the average ladybird, and readily hunts and kills its British cousins.. Added to that, there is a vast range of other insects that this new and incredibly abundant predator can and will feed on. Its advance is bad news.
It was only a matter of time before the harlequin travelled the short hop across the channel. It made that jump in the summer of 2003. The first reports, says Helen Roy of the Biological Records Centre, came from south-east England. The beetle then colonised Britain at a truly remarkable rate. Thanks to 60,000 records submitted by the public to the UK Ladybird Survey website.

The Paparazzi Bots is a series of five autonomous robots each standing at the height of the average human. Comprised of multiple microprocessors, cameras, sensors, code and robotic actuators on a custom-built rolling platform, they move at the speed of a walking human, avoiding walls and obstacles while using sensors to move toward humans. They seek one thing, which is to capture photos of people and to make these images available to the press and the world wide web as a statement of culture's obsession with the “celebrity image” and especially our own images. The flash autonomously goes off, capturing people’s photos and elevating them to “celebrity” in a kind of momentary anointing by the robots. The robots also become celebrities through their association to the “famous people” at the exhibition that are captured by the Paparazzi Bots.
Each autonomous robot can make the decision to take the photos of particular people, while ignoring other humans in the exhibition, based on things such as, whether or not the viewers are smiling or the shape of their smile. When the robots identify a person or group they will automatically adjust their focus and use a series of bright flashes to record that moment.
Surveillance technologies straddle a delicate balance that we have in contemporary culture, where we are all photographed without our knowledge by cell phones, hidden cameras and sometimes “celebritized”. This is a kind of modern baptism with the camera flash and the spectacle of being the focus of the camera becoming a kind of techno anointing.
This work explores ideas surrounding the shifting territories of self and machine and how machines can manipulate the other (us) in a grand co-evolutionary dance of emerging robot-human relations.
The recent emergence of social networks and their ability to connect people through software prompts via the world wide web is a prime example of the co-evolution of humans and their intelligent machines. The fact that the software prompts exploit our social needs for connectivity and social space is so easily exploited in this new critical juncture in our emerging machine human relations.
This camera can track your head and be set to take a photo if you smile mildly, medium-smile or pull-a-muscle smile. When set to smile mode, they do seem to prefer even smiles rather than crooked smiles so here the machine is making determinations about issues of "beauty". I have considered holding a robot beauty contest as an addition to this work.

Endangered Species
The eastern lesser bamboo lemur is also known as the gray bamboo lemur and the gray gentle lemur.
Grey in colour, sometimes with a red patch on its head. It averages 284 mm (11 in) in length with a tail of 37 mm (1.5 in).
As their name suggests, the eastern lesser bamboo lemurs feed mainly on bamboo and have more manual dexterity and hand–eye coordination than most lemurs. More than likely this is due to their preference for small but tasty bamboo shoots. While foraging through a thick stand of bamboo, searching for these tender bits, the bamboo lemur simply doesn’t have time for the typical lemur food searching strategy which is to sniff each and every potential bite. Instead, the bamboo lemur will stand in one spot, and visually scan the nearby foliage for that special shoot.
Only in the winter, when shoots are scarce, will the bamboo lemur eat a significant amount of mature bamboo leaves. At certain times of the year, bamboo accounts for 90% of their diet. At other times of the year berries, grass stems and other young leaves supplement this lemur’s diet.
They are vertical climbers and leapers. They prefer to maintain an upright position when traveling through the trees, and will do so by quickly jumping from one vertical bamboo stalk to another as they make their way through the thick bamboo forest. However, when on the ground, or a horizontal tree branch, the bamboo lemurs will move quadrupedally, galloping along like small cats.
The bamboo lemurs have a rich vocal repertoire, which includes an unusual call the females make as they are entering their yearly estrous period. They also have separate calls for aerial and ground predators and contact calls for short and long distances.
Bamboo lemur females come into estrus once a year, typical for a diurnal lemur. Single infants, and very rarely twins, are born after a gestation of some 140 days, longer than average for a lemur. Infant care is highly unusual in this species. From the day of birth the mother might “park” the infant on a small branch in the middle of the bamboo grove while she goes off foraging, returning periodically to groom and nurse the infant. The fact that the middle of a bamboo grove is a dense thicket protected from predators surely has aided in the evolution of this strategy. If the females need to transport the infant to another location, they do so by picking it up in their mouths and carrying it via this method.
Infants older than a couple of weeks will also often hop onto the mother’s neck and travel short distances thusly, but some mothers are extremely reluctant to transport their infants in this manner, and will nip at the infant until it hops off. In those cases, the mobile infant, especially when frightened, will simply jump onto the nearest group member, whether it is a sibling or its father. In fact, bamboo lemur juveniles and fathers play a more active role in infant care than is typical in lemurs.

Event Details for: Price Crosses Moving Average
Tells Me: The price is generally in an established trend (bullish or bearish) for the time horizon represented by the moving average period (21, 50 or 200 bars). Moving averages are used to smooth out the volatility or "noise" in the price series, to make it easier to discover the underlying trend. By plotting the average price over the last several bars, the line is less "jerky" than plotting the actual prices. A bullish event is generated when the price crosses above the moving average, and in this state, the price is likely in an established uptrend. The opposite is true when the price crosses below the moving average, triggered a bearish event.
