Remote Access, Peru: Field visits & workshops with the community-based environmental monitors of FEDIQUEP.
An old computer monitor stored in the branches of a tree may not appear the best way to deal with disgarded and outdated technology, but compared to what happens to most of this e-waste, it's not so bad.
A lot ends up in landfills releasing toxic chemicals into the ground. Even if taken to recycling points these once proud devices will most likely be shipped to developing nations for deconstruction, achieved at a fraction of what it would cost in the countries they originate from.
Once the e-waste arrives in these economically challenged regions, workers earn their incomes by recycling these old computers, TVs and cell phones for their core components. And the process is ugly.
Laborers smash and unhinge devices, spraying toxic shrapnel all over the ground, where people with no shoes walk. Then workers employ a variety of methods to track down and remove the metals from objects like circuit boards, semiconductors and wires. After that, the recovered resources are sold and re-enter the manufacturing cycle.
The acid, hazardous waste and worthless byproducts are often burned or find their way into local water sources, often by outright dumping. Tests performed on the air and soil that surrounds large recycling operations unsurprisingly show a high level of pollution.

Here's the propeller. Since the shaft is just glued at one end, I set the model on end for the glue to dry
24" widescreen vs 19" 4:3. Believe me when I say a dual-monitor set-up like this is tempting, but my video card just won't handle it. They line up really well for it, though... :)
An INNATE observer/monitor at work (John Watson, with white armband), Garvaghy Road, Portadown, 1992, around the time of the parade through the area on the Sunday before 12th July. The monitor is watching interaction between police and Brian Lennon (second from left, back to camera) as a representative of the Drumcree Faith and Justice Group (DFJ, other members of that group are in the foreground). INNATE monitors were present at the invitation of DFJ.
DFJ did interact with the police in a direct but friendly manner in this situation. On one occasion they succeeded in getting the police to withdraw police dogs out of sight for fear that it would antagonise residents - who might think "So this is how they mean to treat us...."

This is Brando, and huge Asian Water Monitor. After a photo shoot (in which he was less than enthusiastic), he was left to roam the store. His first stop was the emergency exit. He knows how to get out, but had more fun scaring passersby, especially kids. Brando loves to play with kids, as you can see.
Our first born won't be here for four more months, so in the meantime the cats are getting to field test our baby gadgets, like this baby monitor and the 1.4 50 mm Canon lens that we got to take baby portraits.
I created a simple adapter to attach a 3 arm monitor setup to a simple monitor wall mount. I will need to use beefier fasteners to attach to wall but the 100% fill I used for the adapter print is super strong should hold up to the weight of the monitors. Print media is PLA. If it fails, I will try the ABS.
The first print actually did not mate properly. I was finally forced to measure the print offsets (3D Printer kerf) and build them into the frontend 3D models.

On 1 June 2012, several Astronomy related activities were brought to Timor-Leste to the delight of hundreds of children.
Children's day activities were part of a major project that took place from 31 May- 8 June in Timor-Leste.
Helping the team of ambassadors (Ainil, Carla, Cindy and Jaya) and Pedro Russo were several teachers and high school students that volunteered as monitors for different activities. A big thanks to all of them.
Place: Portuguese School of Díli, Timor-Leste.

The ornate monitor is a species of monitor lizards native to West Africa. They live in lowland rainforests. Ornate and Nile monitors are often confused. Although they have somewhat similar markings, they are very different animals, and they are now recognized as separate species. There are many simple ways to tell them apart, look at the tongue.
A Nile monitor has a dark blue or purple-blue tongue. An ornate monitor has a pink tongue.
Hope you enjoy my pics!

not a very good image from a sharpness perspective, I was sitting outside my place, and this lizard came walking around the corner, and to its surprise, there was I.
I let it pass and then slipped inside to grab a camera, but the settings were all wrong to catch it in focus before it disappeared into the bush....it sure has a big tongue
