Some dogs will also have chronic Malassezia infections in the ear or will have Demodex infections and must be treated (Scott-Moncrieff, 2007).

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.

Two cheetah cubs, a male and a female, soak up some sun at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal, Virginia. They were born at this facility, which is part of the Smithsonian National Zoological Park, in December 2010 to two mothers, Amani and Zazi. Because cheetahs cannot biologically produce milk for a single cub, SCBI scientists placed both cubs together under the care of Zazi, an experienced mother. This technique, called “cross-fostering,” helped her produce enough milk to sustain both cubs, and they are thriving.
Since March, head cheetah keeper Lacey Braun has been training the cubs to voluntarily enter a crate and step on a scale. Keepers also target train animals through positive reinforcement; in other words, when the animal demonstrates the desired behavior asked for by the trainer, it is given a reward (with the cheetahs, the reward is usually food). Once the cubs learn to follow the target, this exercise will be useful for training more difficult behaviors.

Thanks for encouraging me to pick up a camera. I have seen some things from a whole new perspective. And thank you for the treasure of your friendship.
"Girl From A Pawnshop"
~The Black Crowes
With a pawnshop eyes and a second hand frown
she sat silent at the table
Her boots were brown, well should she leave town
To play the role of lover ex-patriot
A nod to the waiter
always her flirty behavior
You know she always gets one on the house
And she pulls out a letter
from a bag that's under her sweater
and before she reads she straightens her blouse
There's a passion in being alone
A grace in a loveless time
There is no new cross
there is no new sign
only the sun
and the changing tide
And out of respect
well really must confess
I never lost your number
I never lost your address
And if we remain friends at best
Sometime later no, no not yet
we'll smile and remember it like this
She put back the letter
one tear falls like a feather
and disappears on this bar room floor
The gratuity included
you know the letter concluded
P.S. All my love
This big beautiful beetle has a peculiar agitated behavior with much pumping up and down accompanied by threatening squeaks.
La sociabilidad en reptiles no es algo muy común, por lo regular son organismos solitarios o si a caso se presentan en parejas o un macho y varias hembras. Sin embargo en algunos reptiles existe la conducta particular de agregarse. Esta foto representa la agregación de lagartijas durante el invierno y donde pueden convivir más de 25 lagartijas incluyendo machos y hembras, adultos y jóvenes en una misma grieta.
Kentucky behavioral health professionals participate in Operation Immersion at Wendell H. Ford Regional Training Center in Greenville, Ky., Nov. 14-16, 2012. The goal of the event was to reduce stigmas attached to Service Members receiving behavioral health care and increase the quality of such care in Kentucky.

This is by far the most common lizard here... and the most interesting. The male has an extendable throat fan that is bright orange or yellow. The female has a wide stripe on the back that has scalloped borders. While not a native species, it is now well established in southern Florida. (It was introduced from the West Indies centuries ago... not necessarily deliberately.

Egrets have a wide variety of feeding behaviors. Becky and I had a fun time watching several Snowy Egrets at Merritt Island NWR using a mechanism know as 'foot-dragging' to capture small fish. The birds would fly a few feet from the shore, drag their feet through the water, then snap at minnow-sized fish that were startled by the foot-dragging. This is a series of photos showing different birds catching fish using this technique.
