A small young Red Ear Slider is measured in the Arboretum on June 8, 2022.
The project involves assisting Dr. Brian Todd and Ph.D. Student Sidney Woodruff in a research study evaluating how native species respond to the removal of non-native species and waterway restoration. The research objectives are to investigate the abundance and population demography of the native Western pond turtle (Actineymys marmorata) and population response in growth and demography from the removal of non-native red-eared sliders. Natural populations of the Western pond turtle are found in the UC Davis Arboretum where red-eared sliders occupy the same ecological niche in high densities. Natural populations of Western pond turtles are found in the nearby South Fork of Putah Creek where the presence of non-native turtles is extremely low or nonexistent. This work can highlight the importance of waterway restoration in building a more resilient ecosystem while supporting the recovery and conservation of native species.

Wobbly bridge - bright lights. Suddenly, Szymborska:
"So these are the Himalayas.
Mountains racing to the moon.
The moment of their start recorded
on the startling, ripped canvas of the sky.
Holes punched in a desert of clouds.
Thrust into nothing.
Echo—a white mute.
Quiet."

Guided time exposure of Comet Halley and the Milky Way.
What a shame that the only time I will ever see the fabled periodic Comet Halley happened to be its worst apparition in 2,000 years. Perihelion came with Earth and Comet on opposite sides of the Sun , and closest approach to Earth came with the tail pointed straight away...in other words, nonexistent visually. The best views of Halley came in Mid-March when Earth was off to one side, and then only from southern latitudes. Which is why I went all the way to southern Mexico to get a decent view. From Michoacan , Halley could be photographed along with landscape. How'd I do ?

When you go through the streets
No one recognizes you.
No one sees your crystal crown, no one looks
At the carpet of red gold
That you tread as you pass,
The nonexistent carpet.
And when you appear
All the rivers sound
In my body, bells
Shake the sky,
And a hymn fills the world.

I took this shot with the now-nonexistent Alaska Way Viaduct behind me, with the idea of posting about how cold it tends to be on sunny days in the fall. But, I never did post this to social media.
I've lived near the ocean for 8 years now and my shell collection has been nearly nonexistent . Only this past year have I started collecting them in any quantity. Daytona Beach, where I first lived when I moved to Florida, isn't a shell beach. I don't recall picking up any shells at all from there. The first few times I went to the Jacksonville beaches I didn't pick up shells, but at least I saw some. It wasn't until my husband took me to the shell beach that I got interested in gathering some. The shell beach is full of teeny tiny shells. Millions and millions of tiny shells. It's like a carpet of crushed shells. When my friend, JB, came to Florida a few weeks ago we went to many beaches and gathered a container of shells. Here are just a few of the shells that I found.

Though I was threatened by someone for taking pictures out here, with them saying something like “I WILL F—-ING SHOOT YOU!” while driving by in their small yellow ford SUV, I think these pictures of Linn Street in Cincinnati’s West End turned out fantastic, and show how lovely the neighborhood is despite some of the activity that tends to go on in this part of the city, and the urban renewal that led to the street being as wide and anti-Social as it is today. These buildings were largely constructed in the 19th Century, with some dating to the early 20th Century, a time when Linn Street was much narrower and ended at Bank Street, with the connection to Mohawk Place and McMicken Street to the north being nonexistent for much of the area’s history. However, in the early 1960s, the road was deemed to be not wide enough for the industrial and commercial uses the city’s leaders envisioned for the area, and it was widened to four through-lanes, much like Liberty Street in Over-the-Rhine and Pendleton, wiping out all the buildings along its path, including several churches. The gap left in the urban fabric has had many attempts to fill it, with a notable failure being the playground that once stood on this portion of Linn, which was demolished around 2012 after it was taken over by drug dealers and gang members, whom still seem to be in business in some areas of the neighborhood, especially on this high-speed anonymous corridor and towards Liberty Street and the housing projects. Today, the negative impact of this roadway continues to blight the surrounding urban fabric, and I believe that the proposed changes to Liberty Street should be studied for Linn Street as well, as this corridor would benefit from slower traffic and a more humanistic, less anti-social design.

Look familiar? This one even said 'Maruti', and was LHD. The cars in Paris were usually very small. Most are manuals. Surprisingly many are diesels. They're often beat-up. There are scores of two-wheelers, and traffic, we assure you, is halfway to Bangalore traffic. The concept a lane is blurred or nonexistent, signalling is a luxury that one shouldn't expect, the motorcycles squeeze and weave, and the dog-poo-dodging pedestrians cross streets with gay abandon. We were thrilled!

*Agonistic Behavior*
- Physical Interactions
Breeders in New Jersey initiated chases in colonies when intruder (Snowies and other species) was 0.7 m away from the nest, on average, but won only 32% of interspecific contests. When intruding on other species' territories, Snowy Egrets were chased a mean distance of 1.3 m. Agonistic interactions with conspecifics were most frequent before eggs were laid, nonexistent by end of incubation.
- Communicative Interactions
Defends small territories around nest and for foraging. Defense of foraging territories brief and sporadic in s. New Jersey. Hostile displays involve crest-raising and rasping calls (Aah, Raah). Upright posture and moderate plume erection proceeds in low-intensity displays (Snap, Stretch) to full attacks with inclined body and fully erected feathers. Fights during territory establishment common. At nest site, hostile displays accompanied by vocalizations and intensification of soft-part color. Low-intensity Stretch display by territorial male attracts group which is initially attacked by displaying male. Higher-intensity displays associated with fewer attacks.
This picture relates to oppression because comfort animals are supposed to suppress fear, and Sameness made fear nonexistent.
nrhp # 89002211- At the time of the county's organization, 1858, the nonexistent town of Elvira was designated temporary county seat. The permanent county seat designation eventually fell to Central City. The first courthouse, a two-story brick building, was constructed in 1871. Because of disrepair to the original courthouse voters approved a bond issue in 1911 for a new facility. Construction began that same year and in 1913 the Classical Revival-style courthouse was completed.

Tom Hardy has collected troves of knowledge and skill throughout his journey as an actor, forming a megastar career. But any education he received from director Guy Ritchie during their time on the 2008 “RocknRolla” film was gained from afar.
“I didn’t have very much to do with him ... the first time I worked with him. Gerard (Butler) was leading that film and in many elements, we were support staff,” said Hardy. "So, I got to experience being on the Guy Ritchie set, and it was a bit from a position of not being a lead, and that’s a different responsibility.”
But time can bring people and experiences back around, especially in Hollywood. Since that film 17 years ago, Ritchie has transitioned into esteemed directorial status. And Hardy has morphed into a box office superstar with films like “The Dark Night” as the imposing villain Bane, and the titular role for Marvel’s “Venom” franchise. Now, the two have reunited for Ritchie’s gritty, yet sophisticated series “MobLand.”
“I was really keen to go back and work with him because he’s a fellow Brit and he’s done quite incredible work,” explained Hardy. “I wanted to go and play with him, actually, and see what that was like now I’m older, and it was good fun.”
The Paramount+ original series follows Harry Da Souza (Hardy), an intimidating, yet calm fixer for a London-based crime family hoping to find the missing son of a rival faction to prevent a catastrophic gang war.
How did Hardy prepare to play such a menacing, yet even-keeled character?
“No acting required” he said with a big laugh. “Just turn up and, ‘Oh, yeah, that makes sense’ and say the lines. Don’t bump into the furniture.”
The second episode of the 10-part “MobLand” series airs Sunday on Paramount+.
The series was created by Ronan Bennett, known for popular crime shows like “The Day of the Jackal” and “Top Boy,” and written with playwright Jez Butterworth. Ritchie serves as executive producer and directed the first two episodes. The “MobLand” idea began as a spinoff from Showtime’s popular “Ray Donovan” series, before becoming a stand-alone show.
Two-time Oscar-winner Helen Mirren stars as the devious Maeve, matriarch and manipulator of the crime family, while Pierce Brosnan plays her husband and mob leader, marking a reunion for the pair who worked on the 1980 film “The Long Good Friday.”
It may be hard to think of a role that Dame Mirren hasn’t played, but she found one with “MobLand.”
“There are always characters out there that are going to take you by surprise and … I think, ’Oh my god, I’ve never done anything like that before,” said the “1923” star who believes the line between shooting film and TV is now nearly nonexistent. “That’s one of the sort of beauties of my job, actually, is to constantly be entering into such very, very different worlds.”
Mirren said the opportunity to work with Hardy was intriguing.
“Tom’s involvement in it was one of the reasons I signed up because I’ve admired his work over many years,” Mirren said. “Different actors, you can see, ’Oh, they’re a great actor' … they can perform. But certain actors like Tom, it’s an interior power that just communicates with the camera. And Tom’s got that. You know what? It’s called star power.”
The “MobLand” cast features Paddy Considine of “House of the Dragon” fame, Joanne Froggatt, Lara Pulver, Anson Boon and Mandeep Dhillon. While this show technically reunites Mirren and Brosnan, they also shot the upcoming “The Thursday Murder Club” film prior to this project.
While much was unknown when Brosnan signed on, “MobLand” had all the right ingredients for the former James Bond to dive in, starting with Ritchie, who released his Netflix series “The Gentlemen” last year.
“He’s naughty. He’s cheeky. He’s bold,” said Brosnan. “I love his work. His movies. The way he’s acquitted himself on the landscape of cinema. He’s a unique talent all his own … so I said yes. I wanted to go back to London. I wanted to work."
Next for Hardy is the crime drama film “Havoc” premiering later this month, and there's chatter of a potential sequel to his 2015 “Mad Max: Fury Road.” A second season of “Taboo” is on the way — nearly a decade after its debut. What about a “Spider-Man” and “Venom” crossover? Hardy addressed the rumors that an alleged project fell apart, clarifying it was never in the works.
“People embellish a story. I just said I would have loved to work with ‘Spider-Man,’ but it never happened, which is a fact. It hasn’t happened. And I’m no longer working with ‘Venom’ … it is a shame because my kids would love to watch Venom and Spider-Man together,” said Hardy. “I would have liked that.”

Extrinsic Motivation is behavior that is performed to acquire material or social rewards or to avoid punishment; the source of the motivation is the consequences of the behavior, not the behavior itself.
In this picture you have a waitress counting her time money. The consequences of waitressing is that you can receive tips. This may be the only job that this waitress has and therefore she may rely on these tips to pay her rent and bills. Her motivation for working as a waitress is the fact that she will get cash for her work that same day.
In theory, a tip is a reward for good service. If she does not perform in a way that would be desirable to a customer, chances are, she may not receive a good tip. To avoid receiving a small or nonexistent tip, she will be motivated to work well in order to receive higher paying tips.
This is my first attempt at HDR.
It was a sunny day so I decided to visit The British Museum. Unfortunately by the time I got there, it became cloudy and the dramatic deep blue sky I had hoped to capture with sun light streaming through the curved glass roof and casting shadows were nonexistent. :-( Instead the sky turned a whitish grey and inside the museum everything looked dull and colourless. So HDR to the rescue!
All the shots were taken handheld (who says you need a tripod) 3 bracketed exposures set at continuous firing.
After a few hours at the museum as the weather was poor I decided to visit Westminster Cathedral. I had to struggle to get there and find parking. Once inside I found out that photography wasn’t allowed during a service so I had to wait around an hour until it finished. I think I captured some good shots for HDR but unbelievably, when I got back home and started to download the photos, half way through the download the memory card got somehow got jammed and I couldn’t download the photos from the church. What a nightmare! A wasted afternoon:-( By the way, this was a new 32GB Kingston elite pro card. The shop recommended it to me as they didn’t have the Lexar in stock that I wanted. So I won’t be buyer Kingston cards again.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the photos.
As it’s my first attempt at HDR I would be grateful for your comments, criticisms etc.
