In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions, where a small change at one place in a nonlinear system can result in large differences to a later state. The name of the effect, coined by Edward Lorenz, is derived from the theoretical example of a hurricane's formation being contingent on whether or not a distant butterfly had flapped its wings several weeks before.
Although the butterfly effect may appear to be an esoteric and unlikely behavior, it is exhibited by very simple systems: for example, a ball placed at the crest of a hill may roll into any of several valleys fully depending on slight differences in initial position.
The butterfly effect is a common trope in fiction when presenting scenarios involving time travel and with hypotheses where one storyline diverges at the moment of a seemingly minor event resulting in two significantly different outcomes. . . Wikipedia
Drug Side Effects:
A side effect is usually regarded as an undesirable secondary effect which occurs in addition to the desired therapeutic effect of a drug or medication. Side effects may vary for each individual depending on the person's disease state, age, weight, gender, ethnicity and general health.
Side effects can occur when commencing, decreasing/increasing dosages, or ending a drug or medication regimen. Side effects may also lead to non-compliance with prescribed treatment. When side effects of a drug or medication are severe, the dosage may be adjusted or a second medication may be prescribed. Lifestyle or dietary changes may also help to minimize side effects.

I like this stump. It shows the violence that was the explosive eruption of Mount St Helens May 18, 1980. This photo shows the crater and the blast zone from the eruption. The diameter of this stump is about 2-3 feet. This gives one an idea of the force that literally broke this tree off so close to the ground.
Deploying her huge wing fence type air brakes and with her nose held high as she uses the 'ground effect' air cushion from that huge delta wing to her advantage, Royal Air Force Avro Vulcan B.2 XL426, touches down before rolling to the end of RAF Mildenhall's runway during the 1985 'Air Fete'
XL426 was the 'Vulcan Display Flight's' mount before the now famous XH558 replaced her until the type was officialy retired from service.
XH558 is with the VTST and will hopefully fly again next season while 'XL426' still lives on and can be found at Southend Airport where she still carries out 'fast taxi' runs there.

Royal Air Force Hawker Siddeley Dominie T.1 XS728/E from No.6 Flying Training School when based at RAF Finningley and seen on one of Greenham Common's huge concrete pans while attending the first IAT held there in July of 1973
Dominies were the military version of the DH125/HS125 Executive Jet and were used as Hi-speed Navigation Trainers but with the demise of both the Nimrod and introduction of the 2-crew Voyagers, their role became redundant and the fleet were retired.
Now with the advent of the Poseidon P-8 Maritime Patrol Aircraft on order - the need to train crews again has led to the acquisition of several Embraer Phenom Jets
As to this location, at the height of the 'Cold War' Greenham Common was a former US Air Force base hosting B-47 Stratojet bombers. Now closed, the base is slowly being returned to 'Common' ground for the enjoyment of the local population. Back then Finningley was a V-Bomber base, hosting Vulcans but with the ending of that era, it's no longer a RAF base and is now known as Doncaster's 'Robin Hood' Airport

This crosswalk scene was photographed for several frames, then three were selected in which a subject's gait approximately coincided. these were registered on the moving person before generating a subtractive filter Harris Shutter Effect (HSE) image. The person was well registered in each frame with details disappearing into a black void in the composite. These were restored by blending with the stacked (SNR) image through a mask.
Edit: The original was replaced with a version using a large area mask, with a large blur radius, to eliminate a "spotlight effect" at the point of blending.

This little waterfall along the SF coastline had been on my list for some time. After staring at cloudless skies for the past week, I was pleasantly pleased to see the return of clouds to the Bay Area. Initially, I was hesitant to make the trip out to shoot but ultimately decided that it would be sinful to miss another potentially glorious sunset.
When I arrived on location, the clouds were perfect: thin, high wispy clouds blanketed the sky. Further south was nothing but clear, empty skies. The conditions appeared to be the jackpot for what I wanted to shoot with high tide and high surf. At game time, the sky exploded into oranges and pinks as the waterfall flowed with force.
For the entire shoot, I somehow managed to stay relatively dry. Sure there was the splash here and there but waterproof pants and Gore-tex shoes shielded me from the larger waves. However, just as I completed the shoot and was preparing to head to higher ground, a large wave caught me napping. Oh well, it was all worth it.

If you are tired of. the "little biter's" teeth, here are some interesting teeth. What's interesting is that the blades all have the same diameter, but with a tiny sensor cell phone they looked different sizes. They are stacked with each one slightly farther from the camera. Try it with CDs, dishes or what have you.
Piccadilly Circus London. Very empty for an August afternoon! The statue is of the Greek God Anteros who over the years has been mistakenly known as the Greek God Eros. London like many other cities had been badly effected by Covid-19. I took this photo with my Canon DSLR camera during the break from lockdown in August 2020. Not a single foreign accent or language to be heard in central London and very few people of course

Castello svevo (Termoli)
Il castello svevo di Termoli caratterizza con il suo profilo l'immagine del Borgo vecchio della città. La sua costruzione viene fatta risalire approssimativamente al XIII secolo, periodo in cui Federico II di Svevia progettò un sistema di fortificazione delle frontiere sud-orientali italiane fino alla Sicilia.Il Castello è comunemente definito Svevo, probabilmente a causa della ristrutturazione, databile al 1247, che Federico II vi fece apportare, come testimoniava una lapide ritrovata all'interno di una delle torrette angolari. Nel corso dei secoli il castello ha subito varie modifiche soprattutto per l'adozione delle armi da fuoco. Durante i recenti restauri sono stati ritrovati dei graffiti databili al secolo XVI, ed alcuni disegni al carbone lasciati sulle pareti della cisterna inferiore nel periodo in cui questa era adibita a carcere borbonico.In seguito ai danni subiti durante la seconda guerra mondiale vennero effettuati ulteriori lavori di manutenzione. Dal 1885 il Castello di Termoli è stato annoverato tra i monumenti nazionali e designato quale museo storico regionale. È quasi certo che l'attuale struttura del castello venne edificata su un antico nucleo centrale di origini normanne costituito da un edificio a pianta quadrata completamente realizzato in mattoni e coperto da una volta a botte. Il Castello è formato da una torre che poggia su una base a tronco di piramide quadrata. Sui quattro angoli della base si innestano altrettante torri cilindriche aggettanti. La struttura si sviluppa soprattutto in altezza sul lato nord a ridosso del mare. Questo lascia comprendere, insieme ad altri elementi architettonici, che il castello aveva una funzione di postazione d'avvistamento ma soprattutto difensiva. Il portale era custodito da un ponte levatoio e da un fossato che si estendeva sul lato nord-est. La parte inferiore del castello, che si sviluppa su un livello leggermente superiore rispetto al piano stradale attuale, aveva una funzione di magazzino e deposito. È costituita da quattro grandi ambienti a pianta rettangolare e copertura a botte che si sviluppano intorno alla struttura di periodo normanno. Attualmente una scala di epoca moderna collega gli ambienti del piano terra con quelli del primo piano, in antichità questa funzione era svolta da strutture in legno. La parte superiore del castello era adibita a deposito e abitazione, ma soprattutto aveva un ruolo difensivo. Gli ambienti posti al primo piano sono, infatti, denominati "Corridoio degli arcieri", hanno tutti una pianta rettangolare, sono coperti da volte a botte e sono caratterizzati da numerose feritoie che permettevano agli arcieri e ai balestrieri di colpire i nemici dall'alto. Su questo piano si sviluppano le torrette circolari e qui, in origine, si apriva l'unico accesso al castello posto sul lato nord-est, dove sono visibili le mensole che servivano a far scorrere le funi e gli argani del ponte levatoio. Con l'avvento delle armi da fuoco le feritoie vennero parzialmente trasformate in archibugiere.
Swabian Castle (Termoli)
The Swabian Castle of Termoli with his/her profile features the image of the old town of the city. Its construction is traced back to approximately the 13th century, when Frederick II of Swabia designed a fortification system of the South-eastern borders of Italy until Sicilia.Il is commonly defined Swabian Castle, probably because of the restructuring, dated to 1247, that Frederick II had to make, as testifies a stone slab found inside one of the corner towers. Over the centuries the Castle has undergone several changes, especially for the adoption of firearms. During recent renovations of graffiti were found dating from the 16th century, and some charcoal drawings left on the walls of the tank bottom in the period in which this was used as a Bourbon prison.As a result of damage sustained during World War II were carried out more maintenance work. From 1885 the castle of Termoli was counted among the national monuments and designated as the regional historical Museum. It is almost certain that the current structure of the castle was built on an ancient core of Norman origin consisting of a square building completely made of brick and covered by a barrel vault. The Castle consists of a tower that rests on a truncated square pyramid. On the four corners of the base are grafted two cylindrical towers jutting out. The structure develops especially in height on the north side near the sea. This leaves understand, along with other architectural elements, that the castle had a sighting station but especially defensively. The portal was guarded by a drawbridge and a moat that was located on the northeast side. The lower part of the Castle, which is on a slightly higher level compared to current road, had a function of warehouse and storage. It consists of four large rectangular rooms and vaulted roof that develop around the structure of the Norman period. Now a modern-era scale connects the ground floor environments with those on the first floor, in ancient times this function was carried out by wooden structures. The upper part of the castle was used as a store and dwelling, but also had a defensive role. The seats on the first floor are known as "the corridor of the archers", they all have a rectangular plant, are covered by vaults and are characterized by numerous loopholes that allowed the archers and Crossbowmen to hit enemies from above. On this plan you develop circular towers and here, originally, was the only access to the Castle located on the northeast side, where are visible the shelves that were used to slide down the rope and winches the drawbridge. With the advent of firearms the slits were partially converted into arquebusier.
Interesting how Local lake effect snow can be. Sometimes it can affect us some 20 miles inland and sometimes it will only affect a couple miles from the shore. Well today lake effect snow only affected the immediate shore lines of Lake Michigan. As much as 18 inches of snow fell in some locations; while just a few miles inland just a trace of snow.
