Climate Action Day observed
Drawing attention on the need to reduce carbon in the atmosphere to a scientifically determined safe level of 350 ppm, the International Day of Climate Action was observed in the country yesterday.
Different social and environmental organisations held different programmes in the city and across the country to mark the day.
With the slogan of "Change Behavior, Not Climate," Work for a Better Bangladesh (WBB Trust) organised a colourful rally from National Museum to TSC of Dhaka University with participation of a large number of children from different parts of the city.
Prottyasa Madok Birodhi Sangathan, Nirapad Development Foundation, Nature Loving People (NLP), Green Voice, Swabhumi, Safe Bangladesh, and other environmental organisations, participated the rally with banners and festoons inscribed different slogans including 'Save the balance of climate and save the environment' and 'Save the coastal people'.
The rally was addressed, among others, by Ibnul Syed Rana, chairman of Nirapad Development Foundation, Syed Saiful Alam Suvan, programme officer of WBB Trust, Humaoun Kabir Somuon, Syeda Ananya Rahman, Mohammad Alamgir and Maruf Ahmed.
The speakers said that the temperatures are rising and storms are worsening due to the whimsical behaviour of human beings. Ice is melting and sea levels are rising day by day and due to the reason Bangladesh is likely to go underwater within a short peroiod, As a result, a large number of coastal people of the country will be homeless, they added.
They also said that the climate changes are going to worsen because people are burning fossil fuels - diesel, petrol, natural gas and coal - at rapid rates. So the future generations are now under threat.
They stressed on the importance of changing behaviour to balance the climate to raise attention to the 350 ppm target for reducing climate change.

Conducta (2014) Just two weeks after its premier, the cuban film Conducta, has filled cuban movie theatres. Written and Directed by Ernesto Daranas (“Los Dioses Rotos”, 2009), the movie tells the story of “Chala”, a 12 year old social outcast from La Habana, and his relationship with Carmela, his veteran sixth grade teacher.
Having a promiscuous, drogadict mom, not knowing who his dad was, and living in a ramshackle house, Chala spent his days at school and his afternoons training fight dogs (an illegal activity in Cuba) in order to make a living for him and his mother. The movie that is attracting thousands of viewers to the theatres is already considered the biggest audiovisual event of the year.
There were about a half dozen deer strolling through this small town in broad daylight... in broad daylight! The herd included only does and their young. As long as I stayed close and moved slowly, they did not vary their routine of moving from house to house to munch on the planted ornamental shrubs and flowers. They evidently see plenty of people traffic here, and have found it to be non-threatening. They younger animals are also less wary.

I went up to Richmond today to hang out with MikeB, Surrounded By Light, Jeff_M, and Phil at the Holly wood Cemetery.
It was a hoot. Some statues feel ashamed, however. A couple need showers. It's all in a day of fun.

Coherent= to stick together.

Originally this class examined how counterculture challenged conformity to established culture and status quo. Culture being defined as learned behavior limited to our own self definitions and how we filter what is familiar. Popular models are looked up to to validate and elevate us. It happens at a low level of awareness, subliminally.
Some examples of how popular models would influence a '20 something' :
In 1950:
Eileen Barton-If I Knew You Were Coming, I'd've Baked a Cake
In 1980:
In 2010: (I apologize profusely in advance for the language in this clip. It is what is # 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for this week, week ending March 6)
Unbelievable. Freedom of Expression is a great thing, but seriously, when did things go from cordial and courteous to intrusive and imposing in musical influence? What will 2040 be like for those who are alive?
Freedom of Expression is a great thing...Photoshop, Digital Imaging and Flickr are all changes for the better, IMHO :)

They still teach this class, but have renamed it to Communication+American Culture.

Who would have ever thought then that a class could be taught online now?
Sometimes, I experience things as a photographer that make me feel old, devoid of humour, or whatever:
It's not the first time I observed that the sheer sight of a camera can transform (more or less) grown men into apes that crave to make fools of themselves. This is the first time I didn't turn away in disgust, but pressed the shutter because they seemed to have fun.
The strange thing was that there actually was no apparent reason for this behavior - I walked along an inconspicuous street to take architecture pictures, and I did not know these people. I didn't wear a funny hat, nor was I practicing my latest silly walk, and this isn't the time of the Oktoberfest (that's when such a behavior could be considered closer to the - alcoholized - human species).
Ah well - maybe it is that they realized that in those post-Warholian times, everyone of us only gets a few seconds of fame (shucks, weren't those times great when it still was a quarter of an hour?).

I have seen Anna's hummingbirds as far south as Arizona and as far north as Vancouver, BC. They are the most commonly seen hummingbirds in the San Francisco Bay area.
These can be caused by the unrealstic portrayal of women in the media (and men as well), and can lead to very serious health problems. Photo from www.bashzone.com
Our 6 month old puppy was very sneaky. He took one of the chickens belonging to a child's toy. Nobody noticed one was missing. Gladly he got bored before chewing it up completely. Now he is a big dog and wouldn't do anything like this again, but mostly because the game is now out of his reach. ; )
Macro Monday: Wood
I happened upon this Indigo Bunting male who was intent on plucking the pappus from this dandelion and then clutching it with his feet??
Is he feeding his mate? Lining the nest? He was at this for several minutes. I took a series of shots where he would pluck a seed or two and then turn (as here) to place it beneath his foot.

CA. SEA OTTERS: MONTEREY BAY
The Southern or California Sea Otter (Enhydra lutris nereis) has been listed as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act since 1977.
•Sea otters are highly specialized marine mammals capable of living their entire lives without ever having to leave the ocean, have the densest fur of any mammal and are one of the few marine species to use tools.
•Sea otters are an apex predator of the near shore ecosystem. The species is considered a keystone species because of their critical importance to the health and stability of the near shore marine ecosystem.
•They are also considered a sentinel species because their health reflects that of California’s coastal oceans.
•The southern sea otter population has exhibited high levels of mortality in recent years. Scientists attribute up to 40 percent of southern sea otter mortality to infectious diseases alone, many of which are known to have anthropogenic causes and land-sea linkages.
•The single greatest threat to the sea otter is an oil spill. One large oil spill in central California could be catastrophic, with the potential of driving the entire southern sea otter population into extinction.
Description
•The sea otter is one of the smallest marine mammals, but one of the largest members of the family Mustelidae, a group that includes skunks and weasels among others.
•Adult males reach an average length of 4.5 feet (1.4 m) with a typical weight between 50 and 100 lbs. (23 to 45 kg), while adult females reach an average length of 4 feet (1.2 m) and typically weigh 45 lbs. (20 kg).
•It has a highly buoyant, elongated body, blunt snout and small, wide head.
•Sea otters have an acute sense of smell and taste and have good vision both above and below the water surface. They also rely heavily on their sense of touch.
•Sea otters exhibit numerous adaptations, which help them survive in their challenging marine environment. Long whiskers help them to detect vibrations in murky waters and sensitive forepaws, with retractable claws, help them to groom, locate and capture prey underwater, and use tools.
•When underwater, they can close their nostrils and small ears.
•Hearing is one sense that is not yet fully understood, although studies suggest they are particularly sensitive to high-frequency sounds.
•Their teeth are unique for a mammal in that they are blunt and designed for crushing, rather than being sharp for tearing like most marine mammals are equipped with.
•With the exception of its nose and pads of its paws, the sea otter’s body is covered in dense fur. The fur consists of two layers. The short, brown under fur can be as dense as 1 million hairs per square inch, making its fur the densest of any mammal. By comparison, we only have about 100,000 hairs in total on our heads.

Olive-sided Flycatcher (Contopus cooperi)
Anna's Hummingbird (Calypte anna)
Mount Tolmie Park, Saanich, BC
The flycatcher was just minding its own business high on a dead branch, occasionally flying out to catch a bug. Then an Anna's Hummingbird showed up and started pestering the flycatcher, which stoically put up with nuisance while tracking the hummingbird's flight. The hummingbird got more aggressive, diving at the flycatcher with its rapier beak. I didn't see any collisions, though the drama continued for a few minutes before the flycatcher left.
