The Budget K-9 follower is my humorous homage to a beloved (by some) robot dog companion of the Doctor in the British sci-fi television series "Doctor Who." K-9 made his first appearance on the show in 1977 and re-appeared many times after, providing witty insight and warning the Doctor and his mistress of danger.
The body and head are constructed of old boxes. A cardboard tube serves as K-9's neck, a fork and spoon play the role of his data-collecting antenna, and a cut-up plastic cup gives his nose a little shape and hides his powerful nose laser. Everything is entirely custom textured and nearly all is hand-drawn.
The follower comes with a handful of sound and interactive features that respond only to the owner of the follower. From a menu-driven interface, you can trigger K-9 to recite many well-known phrases from the show, which he will also recite via text chat if desired. A laser sound from his nose is also available and when your avatar walks forward or backward, K-9's motors will automatically come to life (also optional).

Much kudos go out to Pädel from Pearsonstyle for organizing a press-pass. Evil laughter goes here.
I was driving down the highway from Sinuda to Davao in the Philippines when I saw the iman walking along the road with two your followers. He introduced himself as a missionary and was traveling from village to village sharing about his faith in Allah.
Leopard skins are in increasing demand among members of South Africa's Shembe Baptist Church, which has adopted the Zulu practice of wearing spotted cat fur (mainly leopard) during religious celebrations. Although trade in leopard skins is illegal in South Africa, the practice is widespread and expanding among the Shembe's estimated 5 million members. In order to reduce demand for real leopard skins, Tristan Dickerson, Panthera's Leopard Program Coordinator, has spent the past year working with digital designers and clothing companies to create a high-quality and affordable faux leopard skin which he will present at a future Shembe gathering.
This photo was taken by Tristan at a Shembe gathering that he visited to investigate the use of real and fake leopard skins.

As followers of this project will have noticed, I always try to come up with a tagline for each of my participants. Sometimes it's fairly straight-forward and literal, while other times it tends to be more metaphorical. This one was probably the easiest one yet: after talking to Andon for a couple of minutes, he mentioned that among his educational outreach projects, he has been teaching at the Tandem Friends School, where the kids refer to him as "the rainforest guy." It seems quite apt.
I met Andon on the Downtown Mall, where he had set up a table to sell items made by a group called Taller Leñateros. He made contact with the group when he was in Mexico doing research on deforestation and indigenous peoples' issues: in Mexico, as in so many places, the two are intertwined. Andon is one of the founding members of New Forest Earth, a non-profit that, as they explain on their website, "works with indigenous people to preserve culture and environment through the sale of forest products." Taller Leñateros, an indigenous artist community based in Chiapas, makes journals, posters, and cards based on traditional Mayan art, and they are a perfect example of the sort of community partnership that Andon's group seeks to create. When I met Andon, he was pretty excited about an article that was due to come out in the Cville Weekly, and I encourage you to check it out.
You can purchase products made by the community organizations that partner with New Forest Earth on their website, and you keep up with their latest news on Facebook and Twitter (@NewForestEarth).
This photo will also be posted on my Cville People Project Tumblr blog.

Regular followers of my photostream will know that I go to Tanzania to lead trips once or twice most years. Most of my trip are to the northern parks including Serengeti & Ngorongoro.
I am just back from a trip to the fabulous Selous Game Reserve and Ruaha NP. A very different trip to my normal ones, with very few other people, more wary wildlife and less numbers & variety of animals too (but still plenty to see).
This was a magnificent Leopard at Ruaha NP. Virtually no cropping here, so we were quite close to it. At the 400 end of my 100-400mm lens on a Canon 7D

Vol. XXV, No. 129
JESSE PARSONS,
PIONEER, DEAD
______
HIS FUNERAL SERVICES VERY
LARGELY ATTENDED.
______
AFTER THE LAWRENCE RAID HE
PURSUED QUANTRELL
______
He Had Lived in Kansas Sixty-One
Years and Knew Kit Carson and
John Brown Well, Having
Been a Plainsman.
______
Jesse E. Parsons, a resident of Kansas for sixty-one years, an Indian fighter, and a follower of the famous Santa Fe trail, died at his home, 811 South Central avenue, at 6 o’clock Sunday morning, September 3, after a long illness. Death was caused by old age.
The funeral services were held from his late home at 4:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon. They were very largely attended by those who took this opportunity of paying a final tribute of respect to one who had done so much for the upbuilding of the state and the community.
The services in the home were conducted by Rev. Charles A. Wilson, pastor of the Presbyterian church. The Elks had charge of the interment. Besides being an Elk Mr. Parsons belonged to the Grand Army of the Republic, the Odd Fellows, the Knights of Pythias and the Sons and Daughters of Justice.
In Kansas 61 Years.
Mr. Parsons was 76 years old having been born in Jackson county, Missouri, October 29, 1839. His father moved to Kansas fifteen years later settling in Allen county, near Iola. After a thrilling frontier life, Mr. Parsons began life as a farmer two and one-half miles northwest of Iola, coming from there to Neosho county in March of 1870. He took a claim southeast of Chanute, which he improved and cultivated until 1899, when he moved to the city.
He enlisted in the summer of 1861 in Company C of the First Kansas Cavalry, which was mustered into the service the following January for three years in the Ninth Cavalry. The regiment belonged to the frontier guards at first, but was afterwards sent to the Seventh Corps, operating on Red river and in Lower Arkansas.
A Second Lieutenant.
The first rebels were encountered before the regiment got fairly away from home and before it was uniformed, but the first real fight occurred at Timbered Hills. The chief engagements of the next year were Locust Grove and Newtonia, Mo., and in 1863 the battle of Prairie Grove was fought and a sort of “rough-tumble” with the enemy was continued until Mr. Parson’s term of enlistment expired. He entered the army as a private and was mustered out as second lieutenant of Company C in the Ninth Kansas Cavalry, organized in October, 1868 (sic), for service on the frontier, his regiment covering the territory from Fort Hays to Fort Sill during the fall and winter of that year.
Sheriff and School Board Member.
Mr. Parsons was elected sheriff of the county in November 1885 and served two years. He was director on the school board in District No. 44 for twenty-two years.
Mr. Parsons married Julia A Tye in April of 1866. She was a daughter of Drury Tye, who settled in Allen county in 1857. They were the parents of four children—two sons and two daughters, of whom only the daughters survive. They are Miss Lou Parsons and Mrs. R. M. Green, both of the home address.
Knew Kit Carson and John Brown.
The story of Mr. Parsons’s early life is one of continuous adventure, Fighting Indians, driving cattle over the trackless plains, serving his country during the Civil war and driving mule teams over the famous Santa Fe trail formed his every day occupation until he had reached middle life. He knew Kit Carson and John Brown well, having spent weeks with them in pioneer days.
Fifty-eight years ago he was a member of a government party of 130 pioneers in charge of 100 wagons that made the trip overland from Independence, Mo., over the Santa Fe trail to Fort Union, Taos and old Santa Fe, N. M. Mr. Parsons joined the train early in the spring of 1858. It came from Independence to Westport Landing, now Kansas City, then followed the Kaw river to Council Grove.
Indians Fought Them.
After leaving the Kaw Agency at that place they found no more settlements until they reached Bent’s Ford on the Arkansas river, and the only white persons they saw were drivers of the overland mail stages who passed their train from time to time.
“From the time we left Bent’s Ford until we got to Fort Union,” Mr. Parsons said in describing this trip, “the Utes were giving us trouble. Not a day passed but some of the redskins were peppering away from behind the rocks. Three of our party were wounded and we lost a number of mules. It seemed as though the rocks were alive with Indians.”
Chased Quantrell.
Mr. Parsons had charge of a force that pursued Quantrell, after the guerrilla’s raid upon Lawrence, through Douglas, Franklin and Miami counties and over on the Missouri borderland.
Mr. Parsons had been ordered into camp near the place where Quantrell first stopped to rest after getting back to Missouri. From there he was engaged in riding down squads of guerrillas until he was ordered to go to Paola and bring up more men and some supplies.
Routed Guerrillas.
He set out through the woods to go on the Missouri side of the line and look for guerrilla bands on the way. He came to a steep hill covered with timber, through which the road ran. At the top of the hill stood a fine large house. The road by which Mr. Parsons ascended the hill came into the main road almost in front of the house.
When he came in sight of the main road he was fifteen guerrillas ride south on it and form in line, facing the house. Mr. Parsons motioned caution to his men and formed in the edge of the timber 100 feet from the guerrillas without attracting attention.
Victor in Duel.
He ordered a charge and fired his revolver. His men were at the guerrillas in a moment and they broke and ran for the timber, every man for himself. Mr. Parsons wounded some of them, but killed none. He singled out a guerrilla finely mounted on a splendid roan gelding and pressed him to the timber, firing three shots at him at a range of about ten feet. The last shot knocked the man from his horse. He ran on his hands and knees into the timber, but Mr. Parsons always thought he must have been mortally wounded.
Where he fell Mr. Parsons found his pistols and a short gun, also six new hats crowded one on top of the other, in which condition he had been wearing them all the way from Lawrence.
A Surprise Attack.
Mr. Parsons saw that the horse was going to escape and to prevent it shot and wounded him. He took it back to camp, where it was recognized as General Deitzler’s fine cavalry horse which had been taken by the guerrillas from Lawrence. Soon after getting to camp the horse died.
Mr. Parsons was engaged for some time in pursuing the guerrilla bands. Three or four days after crossing the line he was on the Sni Hills in Jackson county. One of his scouts discovered a band in brushy hill, in numbers about equal to his own force. Mr. Parsons, with his men, crept to within 100 feet of the camp before they were discovered. They guerrillas were just ready to eat dinner when fired on. They scattered and three of them were killed.
