Percent difference calculator equals the absolute value of the change in value, divided by the average of the 2 numbers, all multiplied by 100. We then append the percent sign, %.Percent increase and percent decrease are measures of percent change, which is the extent to which a variable gains or loses intensity, magnitude, extent, or value. The figures are arrived at by comparing the initial (or before) and final (or after) quantities according to a specific formula. It is assumed that both the initial and the final quantities are positive (larger than 0).
So very nearly a perfect mirror image.

More than 100 Soldiers, Civilians, Retirees and Family Members joined Korean volunteers today for the second annual Humphreys Make a Difference Day at Deog Dong San Park in Pyeongtaek.
The volunteers spent the morning picking up trash, raking leaves and conducting beautification projects under the watchful eyes of the Pyeongtaek City Parks and Greenbelt Management Division.
Following the work the volunteers enjoyed lunch, a performance by the ShinHan Middle School traditional dance team and a post-work awards ceremony.

How is the Hunter’s Moon different from other full moons? The Hunter’s Moon always occurs in autumn. In the Northern Hemisphere, it usually falls in October, although it can come as late as early November. In the Southern Hemisphere, a full moon with Hunter’s Moon characteristics comes in April or May.
Autumn full moons – like the Hunter’s Moon or Harvest Moon – are different from other full moons. That’s because, in autumn, the ecliptic – or path of the sun, moon and planets – makes a narrow angle with the evening horizon. That fact causes several sky phenomena. For example, the location of the moonrise on your horizon, for several nights around a Northern Hemisphere autumn full moon, is noticeably farther north along the eastern horizon for several nights in succession.
It’s this northward movement of the moon along the eastern horizon at moonrise – for several days in a row, around the time of full moon – that gives the Hunter’s Moon its magic.
These more northerly moonrises assure us of earlier-than-usual moonrises around the time of full moon. On average, the moon rises 50 minutes later daily. But at mid-northern latitudes around now, the moon is rising about 30 to 35 minutes later. And farther north, the effect is even more pronounced. For instance, at latitudes close to the Arctic Circle – like at Fairbanks, Alaska – the moon actually rises around 15 to 20 minutes later for several days in a row.
Meanwhile, in the months of September, October and November as seen from the Southern Hemisphere, it’s springtime. In the spring, there is a particularly long time between successive moonrises, around the time of full moon.
Before the advent of electricity, our ancestors knew how to plan nocturnal activity around the full Hunter’s Moon. If you live sufficiently north on the globe, you can count on tonight’s Hunter’s Moon to bring early evening-till-dawn moonlight for the next several nights!
As autumn full moons, the Harvest and Hunter’s Moons show this seasonal effect, though to a lesser extent than usual around now due to an effect known as minor lunar standstill.

The Magnificient Frigate Bird (Fregata magnificens) and Great Frigate bird (Fregata minor) are similar.
Differences are described at:
eebweb.arizona.edu/courses/galapagos/expert%20topics%2020...(bonine)/Tollefson_Frigatebirds.pdf
Great frigatebirds are
difficult to distinguish from magnificent frigate birds. A table of differences follows:
Great frigatebird Males - Brown band across wings
Magnificent frigatebird Males -No brown bands
Great frigatebird Females - White feathers on chin, throat, and breast
Magnificent frigatebird Females
White on throat and breast only
Great frigatebird -Red eye ring
Magnificent frigatebird- Blue eye ring
Juveniles
(1 yr)
Great frigatebird -White head with some rusty color on it
Magnificent frigatebird -White head

The Magnificent Frigatebird (Fregata magnificens) was sometimes previously known as Man O'War, reflecting its rakish lines, speed, and aerial piracy of other birds.
It is widespread in the tropical Atlantic, breeding colonially in trees in Florida, the Caribbean and Cape Verde Islands. It also breeds along the Pacific coast of the Americas from Mexico to Ecuador including the Galapagos Islands.
It has occurred as a vagrant as far from its normal range as the Isle of Man, Denmark, Spain, England, and British Columbia.
The Magnificent Frigatebird is 100 cm (39 inches) long with a 215 cm (85 inch) wingspan. Males are all black with a scarlet throat pouch which is inflated like a balloon in the breeding season. Although the feathers are black, the scapular feathers produce a purple iridescence when they reflect sunlight. Females are black, but have a white breast and lower neck sides, a brown band on the wings and a blue eye ring. Immature birds have a white head and underparts.
This species is very similar to the other frigatebirds and is similarly sized to all but the Lesser Frigatebird. However, it lacks a white axillary spur, and juveniles show a distinctive diamond-shaped belly patch.
The Magnificent Frigatebird is silent in flight, but makes various rattling sounds at its nest.
This species feeds mainly on fish, and also attacks other seabirds to force them to disgorge their meals. Frigatebirds never land on water, and always take their food items in flight.
It spends days and nights on the wing, with an average ground speed of 10 km/hour, covering 223±208 km before landing. They alternately climb in thermals, to altitudes occasionally as high as 2500 m, and descend to near the sea surface (Chastel et al. 2003). The only other bird known to spend days and nights on the wing is the Common Swift.
A scientific study that examined genetic and morphological variation in Magnificent Frigatebirds found both expected, and also highly unexpected results: firstly—as predicted by the flight capacity of the species—the authors found signatures of high gene flow across most of the distribution range. This included evidence of recent gene flow among Pacific and Atlantic localities, likely across the Isthmus of Panama. This geological formation is a strong barrier to movement in most tropical seabirds. However, the same study also found that the Magnificent Frigatebird on the Galapagos Islands is genetically and morphologically distinct. Based on this study, the Galapagos population has not been exchanging any genes with their mainland counterparts for several hundred thousand years.[1]
Given these findings, the Galapagos population of this tropical seabird may be its own genetically distinct species warranting a new conservation status. This small population of genetically unique Magnificent Frigatebirds is a vulnerable population. Any catastrophic event or threats by humans could wipe out the approximate 2,000 Magnificent Frigatebirds that nest on the Galapagos Islands. Magnificent Frigatebirds are currently classified as Least Concern (LC)' by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, but the Proceedings of the Royal Society paper recommends that, because of the genetic uniqueness of those on the Galápagos, this status be revisited.
HUMPHREYS GARRISON — Joining millions of people around the world, about 250 members of the U.S. Army Garrison Humphreys community, along with 100 students and adults from Pyeongtaek City, participated in Make a Difference Day by helping to clean up Deog Dong San City Park, in Pyeongtaek, Oct. 23.
According to Denise Chappell, the Army Community Service volunteer coordinator and project officer for the event, “Make a Difference Day is the most encompassing national day of helping others; a celebration of neighbors helping neighbors.”
The program was created by USA Weekend Magazine 20 years ago and has become an annual event that takes place on the fourth Saturday of October.
This was the third year in a row that the garrison partnered with the local community to participate in the program.
At the park, volunteers from the Bright Society-Goodwill, Cooperation and Service Shinhan High School Chapter, Pyeongtaek City’s Park and Green Belt Management Division and People-to-People International Shinhan High School Chapter, were waiting with gloves and trash bags, ready to get started.
In addition to picking up trash, there was also a need to help build a nicer walking trail, which required some of the volunteers to carry stone and shale, which were leveled out by other helpers. This was used to provide better traction for those who walk the trail on a regular basis.

Here's a "Difference of Decades" that's not. The previous shot in my photostream is from February 2006; this one's from Oct. 8, 2005. The location is nearly identical, though I shot this one with a big tele and the last one wide angle. Note the blue water of Lake Superior in the background. If it looks like a hill, it is: this bowling ball is rolling up a 2.2 percent. The big change, of course, is the removal of Main 2. This is yet another product of getting my "voluntary days" granted.
Other than Main 2, I'd imagine this shot would look pretty much the same today. Cept the locomotive consist might be slightly different.
You guys liking this stuff? Shall I continue? I know it's cheap substitute for Steve and his Fs, but you guys' pain is my pleasure.

Version 3 on the left, Version 2 on the right. In Ver 3, the paint most obviously is of a different quality. The aperture scale is white numbers on black anodise, as opposed to black numbers on shiny aluminum in Ver 2. The bearing plates look to be the same, but the one in Ver 3 is mangled, which was probably the source of the shutter speed selector binding I experienced when installing it on the camera.
One thing that can't be seen here, is that the depth of the bayonets differs, with Ver 2 being taller when stacked next to the Ver 3 ones. Also, the slot that the aperture control arm resides in is wider on Ver 2.
In September 2013 I worked this year looking for butterflies. It was bone dry then. However, a combination of a wet monsoonal season plus added rain from tropical depressions coming up from the Pacific Ocean by way of Mexico have completely changed the landscape as well as the types of species I was able to locate. Species that prefer drier conditions like Metalmark where not seen during this trip despite being present about the same time last year.

(Today's news)
LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Despite it being a showdown between the remaining two candidates (In Bed), Thursday's Democratic debate was in marked contrast from last week's contentious face off.
Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton struck a mostly cordial tone during the debate (In Bed).
Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were debating for the last time (In Bed) before the Super Tuesday contests next week.
Both candidates focused on differences between themselves (In Bed)and Republicans more than differences between each other.
They did try to point out distinctions between their policies, but they did it without as much finger-pointing (In Bed)as last week's debate.
Perhaps the biggest difference in their platforms (In Bed) is their stance on health care.
"I believe absolutely, passionately that we must have universal health care (In Bed). It is a moral responsibility and a right for our country," Clinton said, adding that her plan is similar to that of former Sen. John Edwards, who dropped out of the race Wednesday.
His name came up frequently, as both candidates were fighting to pick up his supporters (In Bed).
"It is true we've got a policy difference," Obama said. "What [people are] struggling with (In Bed)is they can't afford the health care, and so I emphasize reducing costs. My belief is that if we make it affordable(In Bed), if we provide subsidies to those who can't afford it(In Bed), they will buy it."
Thursday's event is the first debate without Edwards (In Bed).
Edwards had campaigned on the message that he was standing up for the little guy (In Bed), the people who are not traditionally given a voice in Washington, and that he would do more to fight special interests.
Obama said he thinks it's very important to reduce the influence of lobbyists (In Bed) and special interests in Washington, implying that Clinton does not.
"I think that a lot of issues that both Sen. Clinton and I care about will not move forward (In Bed) unless we have increased the kinds of ethics proposal that I passed just last year -- some of the toughest since Watergate -- and that's something that John Edwards and I both talked about (In Bed) repeatedly in this campaign," he said.
"That's why I don't take federal PAC and federal lobbyist money .(In Bed) That is a difference," he said.
Obama got laughs (In Bed) when asked about how he might counter Republican charges against "tax-and-spend liberal Democrats."
"Well, first of all, I don't think the Republicans are going to be in a real strong position (In Bed) to argue fiscal responsibility, when they have added $4 trillion or $5 trillion worth of national debt. I am happy to have that argument," he said.
Clinton drew cheers when she responded to the question about how a Clinton could promote change (In Bed) after decades of a Clinton or Bush in power.
"It did take a Clinton to clean up (In Bed) after the first Bush, and I think it might take another one (In Bed) to clean up after the second Bush," she said....
