Behavior Study 1: this young Herring Gull repeated dropped and retrieved a stick in the water. Was it "play", skill training, or a mix of both?

I took this picture while on a photo tour led by Jeff Munoz of Rainforest Photo Tours (rainforestphototours.com).
Aug 10 - The 3 Humpback whales we observed were all adult females, who had not had babies this year. We were told by the naturalist on board, that it's unusual for non-related adults to congregate together...that they may hang out for a short while but that the reasons why are not really known.
One of the 3 was very playful...when we first arrived in the area, she was rolling around and waving her dorsel fins up in the air. The photo above is cropped, as we were further away when seeing this behavior. The two dorsel fins are on the right side and the flipper on the left is part of her tail.

This muscle tends to drop down (out of the arch) when my toes are pulled up or forced up. Perhaps because it's too tight (story of my life). II believe this may be why my ankle has seemed unable to heal, because of this added tension, and nowhere in the foot bed of my shoes for this muscle to go (STREEEEETCH).

The stoning of women is one of the more savage, and revealing aspects of the mullahs’ rule in Iran. This vicious punishment of women is without precedent in Iran’s recent history, and is not to be found anywhere else in the world. Since the inception of the mullahs’ rule, hundreds of women of various ages have been and continue to be stoned to death throughout Iran.
What makes this hideous crime more abhorrent is that these crimes are carried out under the name of Islam. The Quran and the Prophet of Islam deeply despised such behavior and denounced such barbarism. The Prophet did his utmost to eradicate backward traditions, including stoning which victimized women.
The penalty for adultery under Article 83 of the penal code, called the Law of Hodoud is flogging (100 strikes of the lash) for unmarried male and female offenders. Married offenders are liable to stoning regardless of their gender, but the method laid down for a man involves his burial up to his waist, and for a woman up to her neck (article 102). The law provides that if a person who is to be stoned manages to escape, he or she will be allowed to go free. Since it is easier for a man to escape, this discrimination literally becomes a matter of life and death.
Interestingly, Article 6 (2) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which Iran has ratified, states: “Sentence of death may be imposed only for the most serious crimes in accordance with the law in force at the time of the commission of the crime.” Offenses for which the Law of Hodoud provides the death penalty do not involve murder or serious bodily harm, constituting the “most serious crimes”.
Article 104 of the Law of Hodoud provides that the stones should not be so large that a person dies after being hit with two of them, nor so small as to be defined as pebbles, but must cause severe injury. This makes it clear that the purpose of stoning is to inflict grievous pain on the victim, in a process leading to his or her slow death.
Anecdotes of this brutal process reveal ever more dimensions of cruelty. Most of the time, the regime’s authorities force the victim’s family members, including children, to watch the stoning to death of their loved one, and in some instances, even when the woman miraculously managed to escape, contrary to the regime’s own law, she was recaptured and either stoned again or killed on the spot.
On August 10, 1994, in the city of Arak, a woman was sentenced to death by stoning. According to the ruling of the religious judge, her husband and two children were forced to attend the execution. The woman urged her husband to take the children away, but to no avail. A truck full of stones was brought in to be used during the stoning. In the middle of the stoning, although her eyes had been gouged out, the victim was able to escape from the ditch and started running away, but the regime’s guards recaptured her and shot her to death.
In October 1989 in the city of Qom, a woman who was being stoned managed to pull herself out of the hole, only to be forced back into it and stoned to death. In justifying the murder, Qom’s Chief Religious judge, Mullah Karimi, elaborated to Ressalatnewspaper on October 30, 1989: “Generally speaking, legal and religious decrees on someone condemned to stoning call for her stoning if her guilt was proven on the basis of witnesses’ testimonies. Even if she were to escape in the middle of the administration of the sentence, she must be returned and stoned to death.”
On December 7, 1994, Reuters qouted a state controlled newspaper, Hamsharhi, on a married woman who was stoned to death in the city of Ramhormouz, southwestern Iran. Ressalat, March 1, 1994, read: “A woman was stoned to death in the city of Qom.” Kayhanof February 1, 1994, reported that a woman named Mina Kolvat was stoned to death in Tehran for having immoral relations with her cousin.
The U.N. Special Representative on the human rights situation in Iran reported to the U.N. General Assembly in 1993: “On November 1, 1992, a woman named Fatima Bani was stoned to death in Isfahan.”
Abrarreported on November 5, 1991, that a woman was stoned in the city of Qom charged with immoral relations. According to Kayhan, August 21, 1991, a woman charged with adultery by the name of Kobra was sentenced to 70 lashes and stoning. The verdict was carried out in the presence of local people and district officials.
Jomhouri Islami wrote on March 11, 1991, that in Rasht (northern Iran), “Bamani Fekri, child of Mohammad-Issa, ..., was sentenced to stoning, retribution, blinding of both eyes and payment of 100 gold dinars. After the announcement of the verdict, she committed suicide in prison.”
Ressalatreported on January 16, 1990, that a woman was stoned to death in the city of Bandar Anzali (northern Iran). Ettela’at reported on January 5, 1990: “Two women were stoned publicly on Wednesday in the northern city of Lahijan (northern Iran).”Jomhouri Islami, January 2, 1990: “Two women were stoned in the city of Langrood (northern Iran).”
Kayhan wrote on July 31, 1989: “Six women were stoned to death publicly in Kermanshah on charges of adultery and moral corruption.” Kayhan, April 17, 1989, quoted the Religious judge and head of the Fars and Bushehr Justice Department as sentencing 10 women to stoning to death on prostitution charges which were immediately carried out.
Tehran radio, reported on March 6, 1989, that a woman was stoned in Karaj for committing adultery.” Kayhan, October 4, 1986, reported that a 25-year-old woman named Nosrat was stoned to death in the city of Qom. She died after an hour of continuous stoning.
On April 17, 1986, a woman was stoned to death in the city of Qom.
Prior to being stoned, she was whipped in public. In July 1980, four women were simultaneously stoned to death in the city of Kerman.
The brutality is not limited to stoning. For example, in late May 1990, in the city of Neyshabour (northeastern Iran), a woman charged with adultery was thrown off a 10-story building. The execution was carried out before the public, and the victim died on impact.
The regime’s duplicity, when it comes to publicizing the news of such Byzantine atrocities, is very telling. Inside Iran, they are trumpeted with great fanfare, but when it comes to the international arena, officials brazenly deny their methods. In an interview with Le Figaro on September 10, 1994, Rafsanjani was asked, “Are women accused of adultery stoned in Iran?” He replied: “No, no such thing exists in Iran. This has been fabricated to damage us.”
This morning I met up with Joanne, a young model who moved to NYC a month ago, for a photo shoot! We walked around the South Street seaport and I loved all the gorgeous brickwork for backgrounds!
This is I think my favorite shot. Love it!
Completely sooc too. This photo shoot made me feel confident that upgrading cameras was the right choice. The colors in the shots today are so much better than the D80.
Lenswise, I alternated between the 30mm and the 50mm. I had the 85mm too but was a little skittish about breaking it out. It's such a tight crop...I definitely need to try it though.
We already talked about doing another shoot in the LES/East Village for a more funky feel. Yay, I love taking portraits!
Why does Google think Blur has behavior problems? Define "behavior"...
Blur's my hippie friend. He's 26, has corn rows on one side of his head, drives a Volkwagen bus, smokes clove cigarettes, still listens to grunge, eats tofu on his cereal, and sends his mail in packages that look like rolled up joints.
This is a Tutelina elegans male, the jumping spider with the weird "eyebrows". After spotting this ant, in order to get to it, the spider took a route behind a stem, peered around the stem and then finally started to make his move.
But having snuck up on this meal, he was hesitant to pounce. At first I thought the spider hesitated because the spider was not very smart and a bit of a bumbler.
After some research, it looks like the ant could be an acrobat ant (Crematogaster). After noticing the spider, the ant went into "alarm posture" www.alexanderwild.com/Ants/Natural-History/Communication/.... I can't say for sure what the ant is thinking but wikipedia says: "When in conflict, acrobat ants can release a venom by flexing their abdominal regions. The effectiveness of the venom varies greatly with the opposer to the ant." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crematogaster
After capturing the ant, the Tutelina did what seemed to be a "happy dance", at times putting one or both front legs up, or hoisting the ant into the air. I've never seen a spider emote in such a way so maybe the "dance" served some other purpose.
