It is originally all-black, but turns a mottled gray on the sides with age, often nearing white.

REPRODUCTION: Sebastes sp.rockfish are slow-growing and extremely long-lived with black rockfish becoming sexually mature only after 6 to 8 years of age (max. reported age: 50 years). They have an elaborate courtship display followed by copulation and transfer of sperm via a modified urogenital papilla on the male.
The females store sperm in the ovaries for several months until ovulation then fertilization of the eggs. They are viviparous. The larvae mature in shallow water.

I was bored at work waiting for stuff to happen, so took a few pics of the things i work at.

Framed in red is the hierarchical organization (taxonomy) I created around the content I had collected and written for the site. The ability to understand and build hierarchies in relation to information organization and access has been a crucial skill for me in this discipline.

i just finished watching gangs of new york (i know i'm behind the times, but i don't have a tv, so i rent everything on netflix) and reading about the riots in burma. it grieves me that these things happen, and yet they always have and perhaps always will. there is something in our human nature, some kind of bent that needs to build a hierarchy of worth and then spend lives reinforcing whomever is currently the king of the hill.
i understand that other people may feel very differently about violence and war, but i will always be a pacifist. while i respect that others might have strong convictions to other values, i cannot support violence in any manner.
The Hierarchy of Birds was created for my personal project exploring the symbiosis and patterns of nature. The merging of different living creatures in space–in this case birds–and the use of an object to help transition them together, like the ribbons, were brought on through the inspiration I got from artist Marco Mazzoni. This piece reflects the relationship between birds at different levels of the food chain. The smaller birds are omnivores or insectivores, while the hawk is a carnivore. The hawk may very well eat the smaller birds if given the chance though they can’t do much to change the fate of this relationship.
In netTerrain, users can create any type of Network with a few clicks. This is a useful feature for Network Managers. Once networks are created in netTerrain and devices mapped to them users can:
• Track all necessary device and link attributes
• Get real-time statistics for network topologies and its components
• Bridge the gap between the Physical Data Center view and the Network view by simply double – clicking on a device

Building Everyday Democracy
www.demos.co.uk/aboutus/default.aspx
Who we are
Demos is the think tank for everyday democracy. We believe everyone should be able to make personal choices in their daily lives that contribute to the common good. Our aim is to put this democratic idea into practice by working with organisations in ways that make them more effective and legitimate.
What we work on
We focus on six areas: public services; science and technology; cities and public space; people and communities; arts and culture; and global security.
Who we work with
Our partners include policy-makers, companies, public service providers and social entrepreneurs. Demos is not linked to any party but we work with politicians across political divides. Our international network – which extends across eastern Europe, Scandinavia, Australia, Brazil, India and China – provides a global perspective and enables us to work across borders.
How we work
Demos knows the importance of learning from experience. We test and improve our ideas in practice by working with people who can make change happen. Our collaborative approach means that our partners share in the creation and ownership of new ideas.
What we offer
We analyse social and political change, which we connect to innovation and learning in organisations. We help our partners show thought leadership and respond to emerging policy challenges.
How we communicate
As an independent voice, we can create debates that lead to real change. We use the media, public events, workshops and publications to communicate our ideas. All our books can be downloaded free.
