Why wear a continuous glucose monitor?
Too much glucose in your bloodstream is toxic, too little is fatal. Our bodies prioritize by keeping us sick and alive (with obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes) in the former condition, and manufacturing glucose in the latter. Because of this, too much blood glucose is common, too little blood glucose is rare.
A continuous glucose monitor is another - provides minute by minute information about how the body handles this tightly controlled metabolite. Currently, these are used for people with diabetes (unfortunately a greater % of the population), eventually, as is being discussed, this technology may be embedded in the Apple Watch.
In terms of the product, I am fascinated by the color combinations chosen - the blue and yellow are clearly a complementary pair, making the device itself a color harmony.
My first morning in the desert barely qualified since a very late start got me to the first feature in Canyonlands at quarter to noon. Almost as perfectly out of the Golden Hour as you can get. Still, lemons and lemonade...
It was a very hot day (33C) and I did a walk a little later that I thought would be my last due to poor preparation. But that's another photo!
Abdirizak Awlia, from the Ministry of Agriculture, takes notes on the locust swarm in Ceel-Gaal village, in Salal region, Somaliland.
The Ministry of Agriculture are monitoring the problem, and digging holes in which to trap the locusts.
Locusts are harmless when solitary, but become voracious when they congregate in groups and become more abundant.

the hand fuss monitor is making a fuss! i held a tiny laminated piece of uranium ore in my right hand with my thumb as i stuck my hands into the contamination monitor, and the alarm went off. lol! it was funny to see the "OH SHIT!! WTF?" faces all around me. ^_^

Signalman Petty Officer First Class (DV) Ronald Fontes of assigned to Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit-ONE, Pearl Harbor, HI, stops at one of the many decompression stops that divers must make while conducting salvage dives both too and from the wreck site of the USS Monitor 240 feet below the ocean surface off the coast of Hatteras, NC. The divers are working from the Derrick Barge WOTAN, the main support vessel for Phase II of the Monitor 2001 expedition, the sixth NOAA-Navy expedition to preserve the historic vessel. The ship went down off the coast of Cape Hatteras, NC, in 1862 during a severe storm.

Freckled monitor
Scientific Name: Varanus tristis
The freckled monitor is beautifully patterned, with rows of white ocelli (eye shaped circles) with dark centres, covering its back. The base colour varies from red-brown to light grey-brown and black. Spotted patterning can occur at the start of the tail but the end of the tail is usually black. The monitor is a slender goanna, growing to lengths of 80 centimetres, although over half the length comprises the tail.
Habitat:
Freckled monitors are found across mainland Australia, particularly drier areas and grassy woodlands. They are arboreal (tree dwelling) but spend a lot of time foraging on the ground, especially around rocky areas. They are a wary monitor and repeatedly return to burrows, rock crevices and tree hollows for shelter.
Diet:
Small lizards, birds, eggs, and insects, especially grasshoppers. The monitor is an opportunistic eater whose diet will vary according to what’s available. The freckled monitor has also been observed ambushing its prey.
Ecologist Katy Delaney uses a dip net to collect and observe species.
Researchers are monitoring 46 sites in the recreation area to determine the status and long-term trends in the distribution and relative abundance of aquatic amphibians. They also want to determine environmental and physical features that may influence amphibian populations in the Santa Monica Mountains.
The permeability of amphibians' skin and long life (more than 10 years in some species) makes them especially vulnerable to cumulative changes in airborne and waterborne ecosystem stressors.
Monitoring the status of native amphibians helps us detect changes over a broad landscape involving multiple watersheds subjected to various levels of urbanization, pollution, and non-native species, which can help to inform resource management decisions and actions.
The source of all my fears. This isnt the original, from the burn-in it appears that it was from a horizontal game at one time.
"Bengal Monitor" or “Common Indian Monitor", is a monitor lizard found widely distributed over the Indian Subcontinent, as well as parts of Southeast Asia and West Asia. This large lizard is mainly terrestrial, and its length can range from about 61 to 175 cm from the tip of the snout to the end of the tail.

The first try. Nice experiments; don't forget to give a look at the whole transparent screens group.
