Changes in a senior's behavior could indicate a serious health condition or simply be part of the normal aging process. Here's how to know the difference. Read here: www.homecareassistancetampabay.com/behavior-changes-in-el...
through continuo is a constellation of events. some are random: gamma-ray detection and the presence and behaviors of visitors, and some are composed: the sonification of the gamma-rays (the quiet pops and clicks one hears around the work), the look of the installation, and the changing frequencies of the LEDs. "frequencies of the LEDs" refers not to the brightening and dimming, but to the changing rates of pulsation.
viewers experience gamma radiation as sound and light. the relationship between the gamma-ray detection and the pops and clicks of sound is linear, 1:1. the relationship between the soft pops and clicks to changes in the frequencies of the leds is statistical, non linear. each led has its own pattern of brightening, dimming, and pulsating, and those behaviors are influenced by a statistical analysis of gamma-ray detection in real time.
essentially, the work has linear and logarithmic relationships based on random events. for the viewer, this creates an experience that oscillates between one's impulse to understand events as sequential/temporal and a work that is inherently spectral, i.e., based on persistent, shifting frequencies.
in the context of the binary title of the show at the Brooklyn Zen Center, Silence and Noise, we're thinking about time and frequency, and how one's experience is persistently both, but how from an increasing number of perspectives time is an illusion unique to the human mind. the universe, it seems, is not sequence, it is waves - but we are wired so that to us its always both. in through continuo the linear relationship between the gamma-ray events and the audible clicks is a noise element in that it evokes the temporal mind, and the silence is the silence of the visible change in LED frequency. the Silence and Noise effect is that the work itself is an oscillation, a wavelet and an interval between the two.
Harbor seals are NOT sociable. When they haul out, they do so in groups, but keep their distance, a meter ( a yard) or so. Too close, and there is growling and flipper flapping, lunging and baring of teeth, and this youngster gets the word. Thanks to seaworld.org for the insights into the harbor seal behavior I recorded.

More odd courtship behavior? They weren't mating, one was just sitting on the other's back making a lot of noise.

I spotted this clothing line at Got Beauty boutique in Salt Lake City...hot tag - great tops! I think they also have a website.
“I can’t control your behavior; nor do I want that burden… but I will not apologize for refusing to be disrespected, to be lied to, or to be mistreated. I have standards; step up or step out.” -Steve Maraboli
A bull elk lifts his head and curls his upper lip, drawing in the scent of the air while a cow grazes quietly nearby. The display, known as the Flehmen response, helps him detect the scent of a receptive mate.
I photographed this pair in Boxley Valley, Arkansas, along the Buffalo National River on a cool November morning. The meadow was covered in frost, and the light mist gave the moment a soft, silvery tone.
The bull’s lip curl is a classic sign of post-rut behavior, showing both strength and curiosity as he tests the lingering scents of the season. It’s a brief, fascinating gesture that reveals the instinctive rhythm of elk life.

Nayla and Junior had sex for the very first time this past weekend!!
Still flirting and pawing at each other but never a scratch on either!!
A number of factors can lead to behavior changes in elderly people, from health issues to cognitive decline. Read on for several of the most common reasons. Read here: www.homecareassistancearlingtontx.com/why-is-my-older-lov...
I notice the non-verbal playful interaction between children, and I decided to try it out. There was a lady in the airport sitting next to me with her head wrapped similar. I wrapped my scarf around my head, and I looked up at her and smiled. Although we didn't speak to each other, we giggled back and forth for the next 20 minutes... That was fun! lol
This early squirrel has selected a perch from which to greet the coming day. Ground Squirrels are not noted for their climbing abilities. They do manage, however, and have learned to scale the trees that hold the bird feeders to do a little pillaging. This guy has climbed one of the bird photo props I have placed around our created bird oasis... it's a good lookout post for him.

I guess something about these blue lights messed with the sensor in my camera. This is not at all what they looked like.
I kept hearing splooshing noises near this pond and looked down to see some ripples followed by big splashes. The fins of several fish were visible, and then a lot more of the fish became visible. They were shimmying almost completely out of the water to feed on something on/in the rocks. I had never seen this behavior before.
