it occurs to me that all these objects/tools & perhaps many more, need a storage place, a drawer, a shelf, a filing cabinet, a library of sorts, in our daily lives...

A website collects

- satellite data + prodiction

- crowd sourced data :

oilspill.labucketbrigade.org/

 

The website tells every bot the "center" of the spill.

The swam moves there not in line, but scanning maximum width.

 

Whoever finds first become [Busy]

[Available] bot go join the [Busy]

until the work is complete

 

If another bot is too far (the one at the bottom) it "explores" around, scanning.

 

The "people" on land

can over-ride the swarm movement (they have a camera on them

IF

>> [emergency] they need the bot in a specific location

>> [density] humans know a spot where there is more oil to be collected

We were sitting on the beach today looking at the West Pier when this guy in the wetsuit with a mahoosive speargun suddenly appeared out of the water. I missed his actual emergence, but I looked round and there he was. I love the look of complete gobsmackedness on the dad's face, and I totally sympathise with his reaction.

 

I gave this a pretty tight crop to emphasise the surreality of the spearfisherman emerging from the wreckage of the West Pier. I would imagine the wreckage provides a great habitat for fish, although he was unlucky this time!

 

This shot doesn't really work on the web, it needs the original resolution. It'd make a good print, I think, although I cut it down to 3.3MP, so it wouldn't be a large print.

 

Here it is large and MUCH better, but still not quite large enough.

Moment of impact as ray charged Sandy. Territorial behaviour? Note the tail is not up.

Today we (we being, fellow Flickr contacts) all met up for a quick stroll around the park and along the river bank into Burnham for some ball play on the beach with our jolly canine friends...We do have a laugh!

I look at these shots and can't stop smiling. The banter on and offline is always SO good and our friendships all started with a love of nature, dogs and cameras united by the big world web..

Meeting face to face is called..'Going Primitive' in Urban slang...and I like it a lot...in fact, I'd go as far as saying...

I lub it, I do!

This Australian Magpie ruffled up some grass (I use the word lightly) hunkered down with wings spread and stayed like that for several minutes. Then he hopped up and walked away preening itself.

The only explaination I can think of is ant cleaning. I have seen starlings gather up a bunch of ants in their beak, and rub them under their wings. I'm told the formic acid from the ants delouses the feathers.

Sorry for poor quality it was taken through a window.

Today I spotted this female Bee Fly sitting in some loose soil in my Mum's garden, vibrating her 'butt' like mad!

 

The one reference to this behaviour I could find suggests she may have been gathering sand to coat her eggs to keep them from drying out. Apparently syrphid flies have been observed doing the same thing!

 

Shame I didn't have the sense to video it - but there you go - there's always next time!

The culture of misogyny, sexism and predatory behaviour towards members of the public and female colleagues persists across many UK police forces today. A report was commissioned by the Home Secretary in response to the abduction, rape and murder of Sarah Everard. Enough. is a brand new play that focuses on the perspectives of female police officers and explores the various ways that misogyny manifests in the police force. How does this culture still exist in 2023? Enough is enough.

Intimate behaviour

Gesture, attitude, behaviour : a workshop with dancers Mauro Paccagnella and Alessandro Bernardeschi on march 6, 2007 at Erg (Ecole de Recherche Graphique, Brussels) for bachelor 1 students. Professors : Sabine Voglaire and Marc Wathieu. Pictures by Yves André.

Ever wondered how the penguins' beaks get so shiny?

There's a team of young ladies who make sure they are spick and span.

At least I hope that's what they are doing !-D

These tables and chairs are found outside most restaurants, spatkaufs and tabak warens. Awesome for socializing, people watching and enjoying beautiful weather.

I become more and more convinced that a major barrier to Japanese speaking English is that they can not use adjectival clauses.

 

They need to be convinced that English is not like Japanese, that English is far more difficult than Japanese, because it is impossible to learn English vocabulary because there is too much of it. The Japanese don't realise that English vocabuliary can't be learned because they learned their own vocabulary by learning the Kanji characters which enbable them to make up all the words in the lexicon. Japanese vocabulary is vastly easier in that respect since there is a short cut to a massive vocabuilary, and enables even non intellectuals to use on average far more words than speakers of other languages.

Note the cicada checking the other one out with it's foot, I think this is to determine if it can mate.

Taking nosiness to a new level, Maya drags her stool right up to the neighbour's fence and has a good look, all from the comfort of a seated position.

The grand entrance hall to Kings Weston House just to the North of Bristol, and one of the city's finest buildings. Carefully restored by a local architect who now runs the place for meetings and events. This detail of the fire surround, not the original Vanbrughn one but a later Georgian addition really makes me smile. I am sure most of teh wedding guests miss this

More dung-sniffing action I'm afraid, but this time I've focused on the legs. I thought the mudballs on the mare's fetlocks looked quite pretty. I wouldn't say this if I had to groom them off!

Notice that this was taken at the low end of my zoom lens! it took place right off the starboard bow of our boat. There was a lot of "ooh"'ing and "ahhhh"'ing while this display happened.

 

This behaviour is called spyhopping.

 

Wikipedia says that the head and lower jaw are covered with knobs called tubercles, which are hair follicles, and are characteristic of the species.

Most greens grow upwards. Das meiste Grünzeug wächst nach oben. The record album with the same name is one of my all-time favourites though ;–)

Two ducks in the process of mating

 

@ the Johannesburg zoo. She kept placing bunches of feed on her head like a hat.

Change in dog behaviour: When your dog reaches the age of two, you will see fewer behaviours that were common when he was younger.

 

He's less likely to get involved in things he shouldn't and less likely to be rambunctious. You will also notice that he is more attentive when training.

 

Have fun with your puppy at the age of two. Around five months, most puppies go through a difficult stage.

Depending on the breed, dogs may not grow out of their adolescent phase for another 2-3 years.

Many experts think the most challenging period is between 8 and 18 months. This is the only time they mature, and most adults don't do childish things like intentionally disobeying a command they already understand, like "sit."

 

It is not a fixed date when they suddenly "change." They change as they reach full maturity.

 

They had reached sexual maturity at six months, and we had them in our early teens, but neither of us was emotionally mature.

What To Expect As Your Dog Approaches Two Years of Age

Growth And Development

Your dog should be eating adult dog food by now. Please select a high-quality dog food that will supply appropriate nutrients while not overloading him with calories. The amount of food required by your dog is determined by its size, activity level, and breed.

 

Assess your puppy's diet kind and amount with your veterinarian or a dog nutritionist. As for activity level, remember that your puppy benefits from daily exercise.
