Earwig Eating Pollen by Orland Park Birdie Girl

20 5

While working on an insect project for my great-granddaughter, I discovered that the often maligned Earwig is quite a fascinating insect! They are found everywhere except the Antarctica, hide by day, and feed on decaying matter, plants, and insects. Females guard and clean their eggs and even guard the newly hatched young until their first molt is complete! The forceps or cerci on the end of their abdomens are used to hold prey or for mating. They have hidden "ear-shaped" wings and can fly, as is shown in the video below.

It is an "old wives tale" that they will crawl in your ears while you sleep. "In some regions of Japan, earwigs are called "Chinpo-Basami" or "Chinpo-Kiri", which means "penis cutter". Kenta Takada, a Japanese cultural entomologist, has inferred that these names may be derived from the fact that earwigs were seen around old Japanese-style toilets. (Wikipedia)

Herons are incredibly patient creatures. They will stand still and wait for fish to swim within striking distance, and when one does, the bird swiftly uses its beak to grab the fish, like a pair of forceps—swallowing it whole.

This patience lends itself to such long exposure shots. The long exposure smoothens the waves, making the bird stand out as it has. ISO100, f22, 30s with a couple of rangers ND filters

All for one... The Three Musketeers by MaríaLourenzo

“And now gentlemen, all for one, one for all - that is our motto, is it not?” ― Alexandre Dumas; ‘The Three Musketeers’.

“Unus pro omnibus, omnes pro uno” is a Latin phrase that means "One for all, all for one" in English. This phrase (in French, “un pour tous, tous pour un”) was made famous by its use in the novel ‘The Three Musketeers’. It is the unofficial motto of Switzerland (Einer für alle, alle für einen) too.

"In many operating rooms there's a hierarchy among surgical team members. Crew resource management changes that culture to one of communication and teamwork." ― Stephen Smith, M.D.; chief medical officer of The Nebraska Medical Center.

Temple Of Kom Ombo, Kom Ombo, Egypt. by PHOTOGRAPHY by DM & DBM.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_of_Kom_Ombo

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kom_Ombo

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ptolemaic_dynasty

The Temple of Kom Ombo is an unusual double temple in the town of Kom Ombo in Aswan Governorate, Upper Egypt. It was constructed during the Ptolemaic dynasty, 180–47 BC. Some additions to it were later made during the Roman period.

Architecture

The building is unique because its 'double' design meant that there were courts, halls, sanctuaries and rooms duplicated for two sets of gods. The southern half of the temple was dedicated to the crocodile god Sobek, god of fertility and creator of the world with Hathor and Khonsu. Meanwhile, the northern part of the temple was dedicated to the falcon god Haroeris ("Horus the Elder"), along "with Tasenetnofret (the Good Sister, a special form of Hathor or Tefnet/Tefnut) and Panebtawy (Lord of the Two Lands)". The temple is atypical because everything is perfectly symmetrical along the main axis.

Decorations

The texts and reliefs in the temple refer to cultic liturgies which were similar to those from that time period. The temple itself had a specific theology. The characters invoked the gods of Kom Ombo and their legend. Two themes were present in this temple: the universalist theme and the local theme. The two combine to form the theology of this temple. A temple was already built in the New Kingdom to honor these gods, however, this site gained in importance during the Ptolemaic Kingdom. Little remains of the New Kingdom temple. The existing temple was begun by Ptolemy VI Philometor (180–145 BC) at the beginning of his reign and added to by other Ptolemies, most notably Ptolemy XIII Theos Philopator (51–47 BC), who built the inner and outer hypostyles. The scene on the inner face of the rear wall of the temple is of particular interest, and "probably represents a set of surgical instruments".

Current state

Much of the temple has been destroyed by the Nile, earthquakes, and later builders who used its stones for other projects. Some of the reliefs inside were defaced by Copts, who once used the temple as a church. All the temples buildings in the southern part of the plateau were cleared of debris and restored by Jacques de Morgan in 1893.

Crocodile Museum

A few of the three hundred crocodile mummies discovered in the vicinity are displayed in The Crocodile Museum.

In April 2018, the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities announced the discovery of the head of the bust of Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius during work to protect the site from groundwater.

In September 2018, the Egyptian antiquities ministry announced that a sandstone sphinx statue had been discovered at the temple. The statue, measuring approximately 28 cm (11 in) in width and 38 cm (15 in) in height, likely dates to the Ptolemaic Dynasty.

Kom Ombo (Egyptian Arabic: كوم أمبو‎; Coptic: ⲙ̄ⲃⲱ əmbō or ⲛ̄ⲃⲱ ənbō; Ancient Greek: Ὄμβοι Omboi or Ὄμβος Ombos; or Latin: Ambo and Ombi is an agricultural town in Egypt famous for the Temple of Kom Ombo. It was originally an Egyptian city called Nubt, meaning City of Gold (not to be confused with the city north of Naqada that was also called Nubt/Ombos). Nubt is also known as Nubet or Nubyt (Nbyt). It became a Greek settlement during the Greco-Roman Period. The town's location on the Nile, 50 kilometres (31 mi) north of Aswan (Syene), gave it some control over trade routes from Nubia to the Nile Valley, but its main rise to prominence came with the erection of the Temple of Kom Ombo in the 2nd century BC.

History

In antiquity the city was in the Thebaid, the capital of the Nomos Ombites, on the east bank of the Nile; latitude 24° 6' north. Ombos was a garrison town under every dynasty of Egypt as well as the Ptolemaic Kingdom and Roman Egypt, and was celebrated for the magnificence of its temples and its hereditary feud with the people of Dendera.

Ombos was the first city below Aswan at which any remarkable remains of antiquity occur. The Nile, indeed, at this portion of its course, was ill-suited to a dense population in antiquity. It runs between steep and narrow banks of sandstone, and deposits but little of its fertilizing slime upon the dreary and barren shores. There are two temples at Ombos, constructed of the stone obtained from the neighboring quarries of Hagar Silsilah.

The more magnificent of two stands upon the top of a sandy hill, and appears to have been a species of Pantheon, since, according to extant inscriptions, it was dedicated to Haroeris and the other deities of the Ombite nome by the soldiers quartered there. The smaller temple to the northwest was sacred to the goddess Isis. Both, indeed, are of an imposing architecture, and still retain the brilliant colors with which their builders adorned them. However, they are from the Ptolemaic Kingdom, with the exception of a doorway of sandstone, built into a wall of brick. This was part of a temple built by Thutmose III in honor of the crocodile-headed god Sobek. The monarch is represented on tress, the doorjambs, holding the measuring reed and chisel, the emblems of construction, and in the act of dedicating the temple.

The Ptolemaic portions of the larger temple present an exception to an almost universal rule in Egyptian architecture. It has no propylon or dromos in front of it, and the portico has an uneven number of columns, in all fifteen, arranged in a triple row. Of these columns, thirteen are still erect. As there are two principal entrances, the temple would seem to be two united in one, strengthening the supposition that it was the Pantheon of the Ombite nome. On a cornice above the doorway of one of the adyta, there is a Greek inscription, recording the erection, or perhaps the restoration of the sekos by Ptolemy VI Philometor and his sister-wife Cleopatra II, 180-145 BCE. The hill on which the Ombite temples stand has been considerably excavated at its base by the river, which here strongly inclines to the Arabian bank.

The crocodile was held in especial honor by the people of Ombos; and in the adjacent catacombs are occasionally found mummies of the sacred animal. Juvenal, in his 15th satire, has given a lively description of a fight, of which he was an eye-witness, between the Ombitae and the inhabitants of Dendera, who were hunters of the crocodile. On this occasion the men of Ombos had the worst of it; and one of their number, having stumbled in his flight, was caught and eaten by the Denderites. The satirist, however, has represented Ombos as nearer to Dendera than it actually is, these towns, in fact, being nearly 100 miles (160 km) from each other. The Roman coins of the Ombite nome exhibit the crocodile and the effigy of the crocodile-headed god Sobek.

In Kom Ombo there is a rare engraved image of what is thought to be the first representation of medical instruments for performing surgery, including scalpels, curettes, forceps, dilator, scissors and medicine bottles dating from the days of Roman Egypt.

At this site there is another Nilometer used to measure the level of the river waters. On the opposite side of the Nile was a suburb of Ombos, called Contra-Ombos.

The city was the seat of a bishop during Late Antiquity. Two bishops of Omboi are known by name, Silbanos (before 402) and Verses (402). Under the name Ombi, it is included in the Catholic Church's list of titular sees. Karol Wojtyła (the future Pope John Paul II) was titular bishop of Ombi from 1958 until 1963, when he was appointed Archbishop of Kraków.

Today

Today, irrigated sugarcane and cereal account for most of the agricultural industry.

Most of the 60,000 villagers are native Egyptians, although there is a large population of Nubians, including many Magyarabs who were displaced from their land upon the creation of Lake Nasser.

In 2010, plans to construct a new $700m 100 MW (130,000 hp) solar power plant near the city were unveiled by the Egyptian government.

The Ptolemaic dynasty (/ˌtɒlɪˈmeɪ.ɪk/; Ancient Greek: Πτολεμαῖοι, Ptolemaioi), also known as the Lagid dynasty (Λαγίδαι, Lagidae; after Ptolemy I's father, Lagus), was a Macedonian Greek royal house which ruled the Ptolemaic Kingdom in Ancient Egypt during the Hellenistic period. Reigning for 275 years, the Ptolemaic was the longest and last dynasty of ancient Egypt from 305 until its incorporation into the Roman Republic in 30 BC.

Ptolemy, one of the seven somatophylakes (bodyguard companions), a general and possible half-brother of Alexander the Great, was appointed satrap of Egypt after Alexander's death in 323 BC. In 305 BC he declared himself Pharaoh Ptolemy I, later known as Sōter "Saviour". The Egyptians soon accepted the Ptolemies as the successors to the pharaohs of independent Egypt. Ptolemy's family ruled Egypt until the Roman conquest of 30 BC.

Like the earlier dynasties of ancient Egypt, the Ptolemaic dynasty practiced inbreeding including sibling marriage, but this did not start in earnest until nearly a century into the dynasty's history. All the male rulers of the dynasty took the name Ptolemy, while queens regnant were all called Cleopatra, Arsinoe or Berenice. The most famous member of the line was the last queen, Cleopatra VII, known for her role in the Roman political battles between Julius Caesar and Pompey, and later between Octavian and Mark Antony. Her apparent suicide after the Roman conquest of Egypt marked the end of Ptolemaic rule in Egypt.

Health

Continuing the tradition established by previous Egyptian dynasties, the Ptolemies engaged in inbreeding including sibling marriage, with many of the pharaohs being married to their siblings and often co-ruling with them. Ptolemy I and other early rulers of the dynasty were not married to their relatives, the childless marriage of siblings Ptolemy II and Arsinoe II being an exception. The first child-producing incestuous marriage in the Ptolemaic dynasty was that of Ptolemy IV and Arsinoe III, who were succeeded as co-pharaohs by their son Ptolemy V, born 210 BC. The most well-known Ptolemaic pharaoh, Cleopatra VII, was at different times married to and ruled with two of her brothers (Ptolemy XIII until 47 BC and then Ptolemy XIV until 44 BC), and their parents were also likely to have been siblings or possibly cousins.

Contemporaries describe a number of the Ptolemaic dynasty members as extremely obese, while sculptures and coins reveal prominent eyes and swollen necks. Familial Graves' disease could explain the swollen necks and eye prominence (exophthalmos), although this is unlikely to occur in the presence of morbid obesity. This is all likely due to inbreeding depression. In view of the familial nature of these findings, members of the Ptolemaic dynasty are likely to have suffered from a multi-organ fibrotic condition such as Erdheim–Chester disease, or a familial multifocal fibrosclerosis where thyroiditis, obesity and ocular proptosis may have all occurred concurrently.

Dates in brackets on the Cup of the Ptolemies represent the regnal dates of the Ptolemaic pharaohs. They frequently ruled jointly with their wives, who were often also their sisters, aunts or cousins. Several queens exercised regal authority. Of these, one of the last and most famous was Cleopatra ("Cleopatra VII Philopator", 51–30 BC), with her two brothers and her son serving as successive nominal co-rulers. Several systems exist for numbering the later rulers; the one used here is the one most widely employed by modern scholars.

IMG_7899, Signet 35 back in action by Robert Brazile

4 5

Thought it was time to start examining the cameras from the hoard a bit more closely and to see what they needed. I thought to start with what I perceived to be the easiest one, the Kodak Signet 35. I removed it from its heavy leather "never ready" case (which has split along a crease; I may or may not bother with trying to sew it back together) and gave the outside a thorough cleaning, which it badly needed. Didn't really remove the corrosion from the metal part of the case, but did reduce it a bit.

The main operational issues it seemed to have was a sticky shutter and a non-existent overlay image in the rangefinder. I worked the shutter for a while, which freed it up a little, but it was still very sluggish, so I took the lens out and removed the front case and speed selector cam and used some forceps with bits of PecPad and some alcohol to clean the small amounts of grime I could see. Then I ran the shutter a couple times to see what was hanging up, and applied a tiny bit of lighter fluid to the affected pivots, while working the shutter some more. That seemed to free it up considerably, so I added the tiniest drop of Nyoil to those pivots and worked it some more, and that seemed to do the trick, so I closed the shutter back up.

As for the rangefinder: I carefully removed the top plate and examined the rangefinder setup. I was afraid that the front-surface mirror had lost its silvering, but that appeared to be in decent shape, so I left it alone. I'm not sure what was supposed to provide the contrast, but I am guessing from looking at things that the beamsplitter had a bit of a tint to it? It's mostly gone now if so. Mike Elek has an elegant solution: put a small piece of film leader in front of the viewfinder to restore contrast between the two views. I had a bit of color film leader to hand, so I cut out a small piece and stuck it in there. It worked well, although I think I'd prefer a slightly lighter base; this particular piece of film was old and I think had fogged a bit. But it's easy enough to swap out. In the meanwhile, I closed the camera up, attached a strap, loaded it with some expired Kodak MAX 400 (24exp) I picked up at a camera show last year, and took it for my morning walk. I took a bunch of snapshots, a mix of near and far, and have mostly finished the roll. As soon as I take the last few, I'll develop it and see what I got.

I didn't really expect to like the camera as much as I did; in use it reminds me mostly of my Leica IIIc, just with a simpler shutter (for those who don't know, the shutter on these guys has only 5 speeds plus Bulb). Only slightly larger in the hand, no heavier, and with the same quiet "snick" sound from the shutter. Oh and of course, the fixed 44/3.5 lens, where I have a small range of lenses for the IIIc. Really curious to see the quality of the results, have heard decent things about the Ektar lens. That said, f/3.5 is pretty slow; this is, for the most part, an outdoor camera only, saving games with tripods and the bulb setting. But it's pleasant to carry and quiet in use. The Peak Design strap I used is one of my favorites, but the small square shape of the camera doesn't interact as well with it; I prefer to carry the strap cross body so the thing isn't bouncing and swinging around while I walk. If I rig the strap so the back of the camera is against my hip, then when I pull it to my eye, the strap is in the way. If it shift the strap to the other side, then the lens faces my body and bounces off my hip, not ideal. I just went with the former for now and it was fine, just had to pull the strap to the side when I looked through the viewfinder. A bit easy to put your finger in front of the rangefinder window when your finger is on the shutter release, though. Not too tough to avoid, but a little unnatural.

Rip The Hair Out by Raye Del Sol

To dehair a doll: Get a pair of forceps. I bought these in the fishing department of my local Wal-Mart.

After you've cut her hair very short, take off her head. I usually run the head under boiling water to soften up any glue. (Hold the head with the forceps for this, so you don't burn yourself.

Pull the hair out from her neck-hole. Be patient with this process, especially if there is a lot of glue. It is very easy to rip the holes so that there aren't four small holes but one huge hole.

Castor Bean Tick (Ixodes ricinus), female nymph by Julian Hodgson

3 5

Ixodes ricinus (Castor Bean Tick, Sheep Tick or Deer Tick), female nymph, feeding at the base of the nipple on a male human host.

This was one of two tick nymphs I acquired during a visit to Monks Wood National Nature Reserve last Sunday. The first was removed from my stomach when I got home, but this one escaped detection until the following morning. It is likely that its location and small size meant that it was initially obscured from my direct view, only becoming obvious once it had fed and grown slightly, which perhaps underscores the importance of conducting a tick check in front of a mirror as well as by direct inspection of the skin.

In rare cases tick bites can result in the development of a benign cutaneous lymphocytoma of the breast areola, even if the original bite site was away from the breast. The condition can occur weeks or months after infection and is more common in children than adults. It can be treated successfully with antibiotics, with a median healing time of about two months.

More images in comments. The first shows how deeply embedded this one was, right at the base of the nipple; it was removed successfully using fine-tipped forceps, albeit with some difficulty.

Shot this in La Jolla on our vacation a week or so ago.

Well, the retina surgeon found the lens yesterday afternoon. It’s floating around aimlessly in the middle of my eyeball. Today at 3:00 I will have surgery under general anesthesia. This retina surgeon will make several small cuts around my eye to enable him to insert this instrument he uses to see the eye from the back.This is called a Vitrectomy. He will then retrieve the lens with a tiny forceps and try to place it back into the space in front of the eye where it is supposed to go. This should take about an hour. I’ll go home wearing a patch until 2:00 on Thursday when I go back to have the patch taken off.

Smaller & redder than F. auricularia. Note also the lack of visible wingtips, and the shape of the forceps: the broad, basal section is about as long as the slender, curved section.

The sadness of the test tube is beyond measure. — Tolstoy

The rubber tipped forceps look like the word PG to me...as in preggers.
