Another look at the water monitor. These animals eat fish, small mammals, amphibians, snakes, and occasionally carrion. Water monitors are a protected species in Hong Kong. (Balapitiya, Sri Lanka, June 2011).
The Mariners' Museum is located in Newport News, Virginia. Designated as America’s National Maritime Museum by Congress, it is one of the largest maritime museums in North America.
The museum was founded in 1930 by Archer Milton Huntington, son of Collis P. Huntington, a railroad builder who brought the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway to Warwick County, Virginia and who founded the City of Newport News, its coal export facilities, and Newport News Shipbuilding in the late 19th century.
The Mariners' Museum is home to the USS Monitor Center. In 1973, the wreck of the ironclad USS Monitor, made famous in the Battle of Hampton Roads in 1862, during the American Civil War, was located on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean about 16 miles southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. The wreck site was designated as the United States' first national marine sanctuary. Monitor Sanctuary is the only one of the thirteen national marine sanctuaries created to protect a cultural resource, rather than a natural resource or a mix of natural and cultural resources.
The Monitor National Marine Sanctuary is now under the supervision of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Many artifacts from Monitor, including her innovative turret, propeller, anchor, engine and some personal effects of the crew, have been brought to the museum. For several years, they were conserved in special tanks to stabilize the metal. The new USS Monitor Center officially opened on March 9, 2007, and a full-scale replica of the Monitor, the original recovered turret, and many artifacts and related items are now on display. Current efforts are focused on restoring the engine.

The beauty of this microscope is the ability to look at virtually anything that a standard teaching microscope could never look at. This is possible due to its open base which allows the microscope to be placed either directly on the material to be viewed or snapped onto its slide-holding base to look at slide-based samples.
Using this ability, I snapped a pic of my LCD monitor, showing each pixel is composed of varying amounts of red, green, and blue. If you notice, the vertical line is entirely blue, therefore the line is blue-colored. The cursor, a standard 3D Windows cursor called 3D Gold, shows up with varying amounts of red and green, but blue is virtually absent. Equal amounts of all three primary colors will yield the 256 grayscale colors, ranging from black to 25% gray to 50% gray to white.
The only downside is that the microscope's camera is only VGA, and thus only 256 colors are visible, out of the 16,777,216 (256 cubed) colors of the standard TrueColor color palette used by today's cameras and monitors.

My old Commodore CRT monitor, discovered deep in the garage closet. I can't
believe this thing still works.
July 2009. This appears to be the Sulawesi endemic of the Varanus salvator Complex of Water Monitor. It is called the Togian Monitor. Water Monitors are carnivores, and have a wide range of foods. They are known to eat fish, frogs, rodents, birds, crabs, and snakes. They have also been known to eat turtles, as well as young crocodiles and crocodile eggs. Like the Komodo Dragon, they will often eat carrion. As it's not their bite that will kill, rather the bacteria within the ridges of the mouth that will cause a nasty infection and cause their prey to die, they much prefer to feed on a corpse. That way they can feed without a struggle.
