I forgive people but that doesn’t mean I accept their behavior or trust them. I forgive them for me, so I can let go and move on with my life.

In our shaping tank, we teach the fish various tricks. The teal tube holds food that can be released when they engage in the behavior we are looking to teach. In this case, Anita Li is waiting for him to nose the ball.

I wish people would give the Short-eared Owls some space. This guy is walking right through the hillside where they hunt for squirrels, voles, and other small rodents. Not pictured here, yet about 100 yards away to the left, are two other photographers crouched down in some bushes directly above where I've observed one of the SEOWs perch for long periods of time. There was also someone trampling down the bushes about 50 yards to the right of him. With that many people traipsing all over their hunting grounds, I'm afraid they'll be scared off. When people are trampling all over the hillside they are interfering with the owl's ability to hunt, by driving their prey underground.
I haven't gotten any fantastic Nat Geo quality photos of them, but I've been thrilled just to observe their interactions from afar. I'm afraid these poor owls are going to be loved to death.
Saving the planet one step at a time
Have you heard of climate change?
Temperatures are getting higher. Storms are getting worse. Ice is melting and sea levels are rising. Portions of the coast of Bangladesh are likely to go underwater, lost forever. Millions will become homeless. The ability of the earth to sustain people is threatened.
Why is climate change happening?
Because people are burning up fossil fuels (diesel, petrol, natural gas, coal) at such rapid rates that future generations are now threatened.
Is it possible to slow climate change?
Yes, but we cannot continue to waste time. Carbon dioxide levels are rising rapidly. That is where the number 350 comes in. If we can limit CO2 in the atmosphere to 350 parts per million then we can avoid the worst of the harm to come.
Is there anything we can do?
No one person cam stop climate change but everyone contributes something significant. We can slow out own use of fossil fuels by walking and cycling and taking cycle rickshaws rather than using motorized transport. We can reduce our use of electricity. We can avoid, as a nation, burning coal (pure carbon) or selling it to others to burn. We can encourage the government to act to encourage reductions in fuel use and to encourage walking, cycling, and rickshaws.
This will mean making some changes. Fortunately most of those changes are likely to
increase rather than reduce our quality of life. Imagine being able to cycle safely in
Dhaka. Imagine the air being fresh and clean. Imagine children and youth being able to play in side streets. If we move our focus from cars to people, from traveling long
distances to accessing basic needs close to home, we can reduce congestion and all the misery it causes, We can have more time with family and for the other important parts of life.
Remember 350 is not just a number. It is not just an ideal. It is something we can all work to make a reality.

An interesting development of severe dementia is the brain's return to childlike behavior. When she noticed me taking her picture, she began to laugh and hide behind the photo.
From the series "Documenting Dementia"
My Grandmother has slowly developed Dementia over the last few years. It is now classified as severe dementia, (Alzheimer's without the official brain scan). She began keeping herself entertained with card games. These cards can be found throughout her home, in all kinds of different arrangements, in every drawer, corner, and crevasse. I began documenting these games with my camera because of my fascination with the way the brain (and my grandma) subconsciously copes with this terrible disease. These games make perfect sense to Grandma, and she can sit and play the same game for hours.
10 days at school now..
the real percent of what i've learned in this week and a half: 5% (or so)!
again, this is possible thanks to the federal system and our great teachers!
everyday i have a free/dead time in the middle of my day.. which allow me to move freely around my school and take pictures.. or just sit somewhere and die from doing nothing or really just procrastinate in my computer.
at least today i went with my friends to this really nice park and we played in this big tree, we felt like little kids again :D ill post pictures later :B
Hehehe... casalsinho sem vergonha fazendo sexo no carro, na rua.

Part of a series of photos taken for my colleague Prof. Doug Levey for the PR surrounding their paper in PNAS about mockingbird recognition of individual people, not just people in general. This photo went out on the wire and was published in a number of newspapers, including USA Today (see scan of article).

The story is....on my husband's sandtrap, there hover many, many, many little black striped flying things that look like bees...but they are very passive...they just hover. they have little holes dug out of the sand, which they keep very neat and tidy....then along comes this BIG galoot....all bright orange and yellow, and when it flies in, it gets the little black striped guys all crazy. They actually dive bomb it, trying to knock it down to the ground. After a few close calls the big orange and yellow one enters the little cave...then backs out with it's front arms carrying a wad of dirt, which it proceeds to smooth out in front of the hole...it does this several times before flying off for a few moments and then comes back and the process begins all over again!! i am now going to bed...i am going to pull out my insect book (I am such a nerd!!) and find out what this is all about!! Once again the 3 year old me needs to know "WHY?"!!
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.
Distribution of Solar LED Lanterns to The Best Performing Students of Rukhsana Foundation Welfare School.
Dated: Thursday March 03, 2016
Location: Model Town Lahore.
Project: Pehli Kiran
Motivation plays an important role in the grooming of students. Motivation energizes, directs and sustains behavior of the students. Simultaneously motivation involves goals & activities that develop key skills in the students to set up goals and plan actions to achieve them. As a mean of encouragement, Mr. Pervaiz Lodhie founder and president of “ LEDtronics Inc.” and “Shaan Technologies Private Limited” visited the “Rukhsana Foundation Welfare School on March 3, 2016 and distributed Solar Powered Lanterns to 18 best performing students in 3 categories i.e.
Best performance in studies
Best attendance and
Best class participation
Aim of this activity is to motivate students to perform better as well as to create a positive competition among the student to achieve better results. During the event Solar lanterns were distributed only to the selected students. Later Pervaiz Lodhie offered the same lanterns to 30 teachers and staff members as a token of appreciation for running one of the best elementary schools in the town.
Mrs. Rukhsana Mushtaq Tahirkheli, Chairperson of Rukhsana Foundation started this elementary school in January 2008 for the underprivileged children whose families could not afford to educate them. Besides education all school supplies and facilities are provided to students free of cost. Many of these children collect garbage in order to supplement their parents’ income, and one of our goals is to provide them with basic skills and crafts that can qualify them to work and earn money in a safe and healthy way.The school not only provides a basic, elementary level of education to the children, but also teaches them basic social skills and manners so that they get prepared to compete in the real world. These skills include general personal hygiene, prevention of basic illnesses and Moral Sciences. Essential medical check-ups and vaccination is also provided to all students, free of charge.
"OK let me get over to my favorite place where you throw the treats to me. The "behavioral enhancements" (toys) are nice but I want Gorilla Treats."
I arranged for a VIP tour with a golf cart so that we could see more of the Zoo and my wife would not have to walk as much because of her foot surgery. It was well worth it.

"Gentle giants. Ever since King Kong first gave Fay Wray that unexpected lift to the top of the Empire State Building in 1933, Hollywood has gone ape depicting the gorilla as perfect monster material. They seem to be forever typecast as the heavy. But the truth is, they’re peaceful, family oriented, plant-eating primates that live in complex social groups. They are the largest of all primates—the group of animals that includes monkeys, lemurs, orangutans, chimpanzees, and humans.
Many people like to compare gorillas with humans, but there are several differences. Although they are able to stand upright, gorillas prefer to walk using their hands as well as their legs. Their arms are much longer than their legs, and gorillas can use the backs of their fingers like extra feet when they walk. This is called the knuckle walk.
Like all great apes (except humans), gorillas require rainforests to make their living, and the forest depends upon them, too. The gorilla’s fibrous scat acts as rich fertilizer for the forest, and seedlings sprout from it rapidly, making gorillas important forest regenerators.
A group of gorillas living together is called a “troop.” There can be 5 to 30 gorillas in one troop, led by a strong, experienced male known as a "silverback." His job is a big one. He is responsible for the safety and well being of the members of his troop. The silverback makes all the decisions, such as where the troop travels for food each day, when they stop to eat or rest, and where they spend the night.
FAMILY: Hominidae
GENUS: Gorilla
SPECIES: gorilla (western gorilla), beringei (eastern gorilla)
SUBSPECIES: Gorilla gorilla gorilla (western lowland gorilla), Gorilla beringei beringei (mountain gorilla), Gorilla beringei graueri (Grauer's gorilla), Gorilla gorilla diehli (Cross River gorilla)
