Men build a monitoring site for desert locusts at the Monitoring and Control Centre in Qardho, Puntland State, Somalia, on 12 November 2020. FAO in Somalia is continuously upscaling its facilities to help mitigate against the effects of desert locust on local communities. FAO in Somalia’s desert locust support activities help local pastoralists and farmers to save their crops from the insect infestations.

Wildflowers are hard to beat in the Sierra Nevada. This image was taken on BLM-manged public lands south of Monitor Pass at about 8,000 feet. Additional blooms appear at higher elevations across the Sierra as well as the Great Basin (Bodie Hills, Nevada etc.) The Monitor Pass area is a mix of USFS and BLM lands with a number of two-track roads offering opportunities for exploring on foot or 4-WD.

Plasma monitors can post multiple lines of data allowing customers to see the last 5-10 tickets called.
Taking this photo with a 10-20mm wide-angle lens I realised I was getting a little close when the bugger started tail-whipping me!
I monitored this view of the Oshkosh bridge shortly after a Northbound was lined up. The clouds provided for some cool effects as bad weather was drifting out.
We had so much stuff, and so much packing material, that we had to do a few runs mid-setup to toss packing material back in the car. Here, Jeff moves monitor boxes around. We used all four of our monitors - this was our most tech-intensive display ever.
You'll note that the second TV stand isn't set up. This is about when we realized we were missing parts for it and we had to make an emergency run to a hardware store.

This is what the grease monitor looks like installed in our 1984
Mercedes 300TD. I probably could have found a better location, but
this was the easier to pull the wires through.
Students are checking plants for pest problems. One of their monitoring tools are yellow sticky cards which trapo flying insects such as whitefly, fungus gants and aphids.

I took a whole lot of photos from the window of the plane. There will be more, but for now I'm pretty proud of this one.
On our second full day we went to the Ancient City of Sigiriya.
Varanus salvator, commonly known as the Water Monitor, is a large lizard native to South and Southeast Asia. Water Monitors are one of the most common monitor lizards found throughout Asia, and range from Sri Lanka and India to Indochina, the Malay Peninsula, and various islands of Indonesia, living in areas close to water.
The species is known as Malayan Water Monitor, Asian Water Monitor, Common Water Monitor, Two-banded Monitor, and as Rice Lizard, Ring Lizard, Plain Lizard and No-mark Lizard.
Water Monitors defend themselves using their tails, claws, and jaws. They are excellent swimmers, using the raised fin on their tails to steer through water. They are carnivores, and consume a wide range of prey. 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. Water Monitors have been observed eating catfish in a fashion similar to a mammalian carnivore, tearing off chunks of meat with their sharp teeth while holding it with their front legs and then separating different parts of the fish for sequential consumption.
They are hunted (often illegally) for their skins, with as many as 1.5 million skins being exported each year to Europe, the U.S., and Japan for use in fashion accessories such as shoes, belts and handbags. In some places they are even consumed by humans. Loss of habitat and hunting has exterminated Water Monitors from most of mainland India. In other areas they survive despite being hunted, due in part to the fact that larger ones, including large females that breed large numbers of eggs, have tough skins that are not desirable.
In Sri Lanka, they are protected by locals who value their predation of "crabs that would otherwise undermine the banks of rice fields".

Merten's Water Monitor(Varanus mertensi), watching the water rise.
Le Varan de Mertens, il peut faire jusqu'a 1.5 metre de long, on peut souvent l'appercevoir nager dans l'eau
I decided to enlist my powerbook for testing. I tested 640x480 and 800x600 and the image was very good, I'll need to do some color calibration to get the best possible image out of the display, but I was quite happy. The final emulation computer will be a 2.4ghz pc with an arcade vga board.
An ASUS VG236 120 Hz '3d' monitor.
I've been wanting a 3d monitor for a while for playing with 3d photography, 3d video, and yes, also 3d gaming. And this one was on sale, plus I had some store credit at ncix, so I figured I may as well buy myself something.
Unfortunately NVidia's 3D Vision system only works with GeForce cards in Windows. No linux. For Linux stereoscopic 3d one needs to buy a Quadro card, which are, like, $2000+. Hopefully either the price of 3d-compatible Quadro cards comes down over the next couple of years or someone writes stereoscopic 3d drivers for GeForce cards in linux. In the meantime 3d will only work for me on Thangorodrim and not on Tol Galen. (And right now it isn't even working on Thangorodrim - I'm pretty sure it's an issue with my KVM switch. I need to wait for my new DVI cables before recabling things.) (UPDATE: Working now. Not a cabling problem but a driver problem. Install new video drivers and everything is working perfectly (in Windows 7) now.)
Unfortunately re-arranging my computer stuff meant I don't have enough long DVI cables, so now I have to wait another week for the longer cables to come in before everything is set up properly. (Plus Ubuntu is also complaining about a disk error, so I need to dig up my Ubuntu usb key drive to try and fix that - hope I also don't need a new harddrive now ...)
(Varanus salvadorii) crocodile monitor found in New Guinea, it is believed to be one of the longest lizards in the world.Conservation status- The species is maintained at zoological parks , with an unknown number in private collections.
Diabetic can be managed by using monitoring devices that are easy to use and automatically tracks for trending purposes.
Varanus salvadorii
Crocodile monitors are arboreal lizards that are found in mangrove swamps and coastal rainforests.
Crocodile monitors hold the title of the longest lizard (up to 10 feet) due to the length of their tails, which they use as a counterbalance as they move through the trees. They are quick, agile, and highly intelligent. While this species is very difficult to breed in captivity, the Honolulu Zoo has had proven success at reproducing them. Crocodile monitors are protected under CITES, but are threatened by poaching and deforestation.
