This is what my life consists of at the moment. Studying ridiculous amounts of medicine and surgery and drinking bigger amounts of coffee. Can't wait to be finished.
That's some bad coffee too, and I hate bad coffee. I'm driven to it by exhaustion and need!!!
Just for interests sake, JFK had Addison's disease, which is a primary cause of adrenocortical insufficiency. Increased skin pigmentation, hypotension and heart arrhythmias.

Genus description
Ixobrychus is a genus of bitterns, a group of wading bird in the heron family Ardeidae. It has a single representative species in each of North America, South America, Eurasia and Australasia. The tropical species are largely resident, but the two northern species are partially migratory, with many birds moving south to warmer areas in winter. The Ixobrychus bitterns are all small species, their four larger relatives being in the genus Botaurus. They breed in large reedbeds, and can often be difficult to observe except for occasional flight views due to their secretive behaviour.
Physical characteristics
The adult has distinctive coloring, with black cap, upper back and scapulars; gray wings, rump and tail; and white to pale gray underparts. The bill is stout and black, and the eyes are red. For most of the year, the legs of the adult are yellow-green, but by the height of the breeding season, they have turned pink. The eyes of the juvenile black-crowned night heron are yellowish or amber, and the dull gray legs lack the colorful pigmentation of those of the adult. The juvenile has a brown head, neck, chest and belly streaked with buff and white. The wings and back are darker brown, though the tips of the feathers have large white spots. These spots are particularly large on the greater secondary coverts. The young do not acquire full adult plumage until the third year.
Habitat
Fresh, salt or brackish water, areas with aquatic vegetation or on forested margins of shallow rivers, streams, pools, ponds, lakes, swamps and mangroves. Feeding in dry land and along marine coasts. Roosts in leafy trees: pine, oak, mangroves, etc, or bamboo.
Feeding
The black-crowned night heron is an opportunistic feeder. Its diet consists mainly of fish, though it is frequently rounded out by other items such as leeches, earthworms, aquatic and terrestrial insects. It also eats crayfish, mussels, squid, amphibians, lizards, snakes, rodents, birds, eggs, carrion, plant materials, and garbage and refuse at landfills. It is usually a solitary forager, and it strongly defends its feeding territory. The night heron prefers to feed in shallow waters, where it grasps its prey with its bill instead of stabbing it. A technique called 'bill vibrating'--which is opening and closing the bill rapidly in water--creates a disturbance which may lure prey. Evening to early morning are the usual times it feeds, but when food is in high demand, such as during the breeding season, it will feed at any time of the day.
Breeding
Black-crowned night herons are presumed to be monogamous. Pair formations are signaled by males becoming aggressive and performing snap displays, in which they walk around in a crouched position, head lowered, snapping their mandibles together or grasping a twig. The snap display is followed by the advertisement display to attract females. In this display a male stretches his neck out and bobs his head, and when his head is level with his feet, he gives a snap-hiss vocalization. Twig-shaking and preening may be occur between songs. It has been suggested that these displays provide social stimulus to other birds, prompting them to display. This stimultion in colonial species may be crucial for successful reproduction. Females that come near the displaying male are rejected at first, but eventually a female is allowed to enter his territory. The newly-formed pair then allopreens (cleaning each other) and engages in mutual billing. At the time of pair formation, the legs of both sexes turn pink. Copulation usually takes place on or near the nest, and begins the first or second day after the pair is formed.
There is one brood per season. Black-crowned night herons nest colonially, and often there can be more than a dozen nests in one tree. The nest is built near the trunk of a tree or in the fork of branches, either in the open or deep in foliage. The male initiates nest building by beginning to build a new nest or refurbishing an old one. The nest is usually a platform lined with roots and grass. During and after pair formation, the male collects sticks and presents them to the female, who works them into the nest. The male's twig ceremony gradually changes to nest building.
The eggs are laid at 2 day intervals, beginning 4-5 days after pair formation. Incubation, which lasts 24-26 days, is carried out by both adults. The clutch size is 3-5 eggs. The eggs are greenest on the first day and fade to pale blue or green after that. On hot days, the parents wet their feathers, perhaps to keep the eggs cool. Both parents brood the young. After 2 weeks, the young leave the nest, although they don't go far. By 3 weeks, they can be found clustered at the tops of trees if they are disturbed. By Week 6-7 they fly well and depart for the feeding grounds. Adult black-crowned night herons do not recognize their own young and will accept and brood young from other nests. The young have a tendancy to regurgitate their food onto intruders when disturbed.
Migration
Migratory and dispersive. In July-August juveniles disperse in all directions, mostly north and west of colonies. This dispersal merges into autumn migration which in Europe lasts through September and October; some linger into December in North Africa. Overwhelming majority of west Palearctic birds winter in tropical Africa where southern limits unknown as resident breeding population present. Rather early return to west Palearctic colonies, from mid-March with most back by mid-April.

Acne is one of the most common inflammatory conditions encountered today affecting the face. It not only affects the teenagers, but also individuals in the middle age as well and the elderly. Acne cam cause significant amount of scarring and pigmentation and also affect a person psychosocially an d may result in reduction of self esteem and social appearances. A few common tips to take care of the skin especially cleansing of the skin, it is recommended to cleanse the skin atleast 3 to4 times a day. The product used to cleansing also plays a very important role. We as dermatologists recommend you to use neutral cleansers. These cleansers basically do not dry your skin excessively like the ones which are available over the market. over the market cleansers dry the skin excessively causing a rebound phenomena, where the body teds to secrete more and ore oil and this secretes more and more o acne the role of diet in acne is very controversial. A lot of studies have been put forward like diets rich in sugars, as well as diary products, but nothing is substantially proven. I tell my patients s to keep a record of what aggravates an acne in them and the simplest way is to avoid these items. Foods rich in antioxidants like fruits and vegetables play a very important part in reusing these acne eruptions. Thirdly use of cosmetic, thick creams, concealers and foundations have a detrimental effect on acne. They have a detrimental effect on the skin pores. We p as dermatologists recommend to use,; light water based, non comedogenic products where the skin pores are not blocked snd these help in reduction of the acne lesions. Lastly we will advise you patients not to self medicate as he or she knows what is best for your skin.

The blond fur seal has a condition called leucism that results in reduced pigmentation.
At St. Andrews Bay, South Georgia.
Humpback whales have patterns of black and white pigmentation and scars on the underside of their tails that are unique to each whale, just as fingerprints are to humans. This whale sighting off Provincetown, MA was submitted to the North Atlantic Humpback Whale Catalog (NAHWC).
This species varies its flowers from white (lip also) to the pale pink with yellow lips and all combinations in between. This plant is specil in its much higher floral stems, larger flowers, at least 1 cm larger than the average, and much robust pseudobulbs and leaves, also with wine pigmentation, which is not usual in plants of Hoff. fournieri.
On rare occasions, a Bengal Tiger is born white. White tigers lack the gene which produces the typical orange coat.Both parents must carry the recessive trait in order for the cubs to be born white.
Unlike albinos which lack pigmentation and have pink eyes, these tigers are leucistic. Their eyes are blue and the have stripes which range in colour from black to pale grayish brown.

Tabwa throne or stool NEGLM:1981.0005 on permanent display at the Laing Museum, Newburgh
Dimensions:
seat height 23 cm
figure height 45 cm
overall height 151 cm
Tribal Chief Matipa of the Bisa people presented this stool to Robert A Young, Native Commissioner, N. E. Rhodesia, on 1st December 1901 at Lake Bangweolo, Zambia. The event was recorded in Robert Young’s diary.
Robert Young was born in Newburgh in 1867, the son of Thomas Young, a local baker. Known as Bwana Bobo, he was said to have been respected for his honesty and understanding of his area. In 1905 he returned to Scotland and his gift of a “valuable collection” of African objects to The Laing Free Library and Museum was recorded in the local newspaper.
The stool is a status object, made for high ranking people. The figure that stands on the edge of the back may represent an ancestor. It confirms the power of the seated person.
This type of object is thought to have been produced for only a short period, roughly between 1850 and 1880. Young noted that the fundi, Swahili for carpenter, required significant skill which, even at that time, was only remembered by a few old people.
From his research, Dr Allen Roberts of the University of Iowa has found that this is the largest example out of eight known still to exist, and it is one of the most elaborately decorated. It is carved from a single piece of wood. Conservation by Scottish Museums Council staff in 1996 revealed the true beauty of the red and white pigmentation of the Balamwesi pattern, ‘the rising of the new moon’, on the back and base. At the same time, a three-celled mud nest of a wasp or insect was discovered attached to the base, under the seat.

I went out looking for springtails this morning before the next band of rain arrives. I was particularly interested in Sminthurinus globulars, as I've been seeing some with moustache-shaped areas of pigmentation on the face.
Firstly, it's interesting that there are very few adult individuals around. Perhaps it's the virtually constant rain and sopping-wet leaf-litter. Perhaps they find somewhere else to go in these conditions. There are reasonable numbers of juveniles though, so I decided to concentrate on those. These four are all around 0.3mm in length and appear to be Sminthurinus aureus f. reticulata. That's the predominant Sminthurinus species on my patch (the local village churchyard). No sign of "moustaches" on these; haven't even started shaving yet!

Overview of rooms in the museum:
The museum, as it is now, is completely renewed. Old information about rooms and their numbers are still not updated, not even in Wikipedia. They mention twenty rooms, and their names, but there are 27 rooms, XXVII
Maybe wiki will update their page soon, as it is in October 2015, it is not updated.

This serial of photos offers an impression of details of the collection with Minoan Art, belonging to the Palace of Knossos. the Archaeological Museum in Heraklion has been completely renewed. Lots of amazing information can be read next to art objects.
It is not allowed to use flash when making photos. This, and the many visitors made it hardly possible to make really sharp photos in some seconds.
My camera is a rather cheap one and creates curved lines.
Some photos are not sharp, but I kept them anyway.
Altogether it has been a deeply impressing visit, moving, deeply moving because of the mystical, spiritual, mental and emotional depth of the Art.
The Minoans were utterly creative.
Their art is comparable with our modern art. Their use of colors makes the art characteristic: pastel colors (modest in pigmentation), terra colors, with blue, green and ochre.
Often I edited the photos in several ways. Or cropped them, to attract the attention for details.
Enjoy the collection of photos. If you want to read more about the Minoans:
“Solenopora” jurassica Nicholson in Brown, 1894 - fossil red algae in limestone from the Jurassic of Britain. (field of view ~2.8 centimeters across)
Rhodophytes are red algae - they are the most common and widespread of marine macroalgae, but they often go unnoticed because of their frequently-dull coloration and nondescript growth forms. Over 7000 species of red algae are known in the Holocene - most of them are marine, plus some freshwater forms. Rhodophytes are also known in the fossil record. Very old fossil red algae have been reported from the upper Mesoproterozoic (~1.2 Ga) of northern Canada.
Red algae vary in color - not all are reddish. Rhodophytes can be red, pink, pale pink, lavender, purple, brownish-red, whitish, and yellowish. Fleshy red algae are usually weed-like to mossy to fuzzy in appearance. Calcareous red algae have skeletons with calcium carbonate (CaCO3 - calcite or aragonite). Calcareous red algae are important reef organisms - they include branching forms and crusts. Upon death, the hard part skeletal components of calcareous red algae become biogenic sediments in reef and peri-reef environments.
The remarkable fossil shown above is a "Solenopora" jurassica red alga with its pinkish coloration still preserved. It’s in a matrix of Middle Jurassic fossiliferous-oolitic limestone from Britain. Samples of this material have been nicknamed "beetroot stones". Biomarkers consistent with a rhodophyte affinity have been extracted from British beetroot stones (see Barden et al., 2015).
Previous studies have suggested that Jurassic fossils identified as Solenopora are not congeneric with the type species from the Ordovician of Estonia, Solenopora spongioides Dybowski, 1878. British Jurassic specimens are therefore assigned as "Solenopora" jurassica.
Classification: Rhodophyta, Rhodophyceae, “Solenoporaceae”
Stratigraphy: "Fieldbrash Deposit", Middle Jurassic (probably from the White Limestone Formation, Great Oolite Series, Bathonian Stage, upper Middle Jurassic, ~165-168 Ma)
Locality: unrecorded/undisclosed site at or near the town of Cirencester, southern Gloucestershire County, western England (southern Britain)

Almost all gorillas are ABO blood type B, as are Baboons and some orangutans, and nearly all chimpanzees and bonobos are blood type A. A few chimps are type O. If you do a google image search for gorilla feet, you can see that these are what scientists estimate....less than 4 millions years separated. Of course the big toe or "thumb" is shorter as it "comes around" to the front in evolution. Gorilla toes are shorter cause they are terrestrial knuckle walkers. Chimp toes are longer for grasping. As gorillas lost pigmentation they are true albinoes (search google images of snowflake the albino gorilla) with pale skin, blue eyes, yellow blonde hair, whereas when chimps lost pigmentation via selection, they kept their black hair and have olive lighter skin (trademark large ears flared forward). GW Bush is blood type A. Judy Dench is probably type B. Look at hands and eyes of the gorilla at Wikipedia search for Gorilla. See Judy Dench's eyes in the gorilla's eyes. Also Wiki Socrates and see images of typical type B nose and wideset eyes....compare his photo with Snowflake the albino gorilla.
Trademark Gorill/type B is WIDE heavy shoulders for load bearing as a knuckle walker, and they have smaller ears with box-like angle to the bottom and back sides. Think about it and ask around.

I've spent a lot longer than what I anticipated. I spent a great deal of time doing "research" for this. And have finally concluded to just stick with one Anthropologist's theory about the different human race labels. Also adding an extra one for keeps.
Tonight I ended up getting the chance to have free tickets to see a show at the WMC, to see a wonderful performance based on a call for World Peace.
I had to close my eyes several times during the projection show they had up while the live orchestra were playing amazingly, and while the large choir were singing brilliantly. There were some scenes they used during the show (factual war scenes) that I simply couldn't cope watching.
If there's anything I hate to watch, it's war-related films and movies. Tonight had a lot of war-clips to accompany the amazing music.
A bid to try and promote peace through the Power Of Song.
Hence why I decided to do this shot for today. All about the equality of different races. Interesting stuff.
But oh, how we live in a crazy crazy world whereby everyone thinks they should get by, by resulting to violence and war. Quite a controversial topic today, of worldly-affairs, right?
The first five suggested labels are taken from Friedrich Blumenbach's theories based on races.
Of course there are many many more now and as science is an ongoing advancing progress and the world starting to be more multi-cultural, there are many many more different races. But these are just a few to generalise. Please do not be offended.
vitiligo is a common skin pigmentation problem in which white spots appear on skin.
Segmental vitiligo is type of vitiligo, in which one or more spots appear on one segmental area of skin.
Some of the black pigmentation is missing giving a lighter colored critter.
Ambystoma macrodactylum

Mother Nature made this place with her ancient giantess hands. She toiled for billions of years, just so we could pop in and be more impressed in two seconds than we've ever been - as we stood noting the immensity of the time in a brief moment that rushed by us almost undetected.
I've been here three times in my life. The Caverns haven't really changed since my first trip at age 4 to my last trip at age 32. Equally astounding each time I've been.
This is a relatively inexpensive place to take road trip to (depending on where you're coming from) if you're into that kinda thing... and totally worth every second you spend there. Also, this a great place to beat the summer heatwave. The caverns are deep below the melting and singed New Mexican landscape. They harbor air chilled to a lovely 56°F (13°C) which makes the long walk deep deep down inside of time, inside of our planet's crusted blanket of indiscretions, a super cooled journey into a Martian-like alien setting.
Imaginations run amok in the caves like a genome that's lost it's need for pigmentation or eyesight, they stumble and blunder until they sense everything on a deeper level of intuition, drawing out their paths on the canvases of time - or so we imagine.
Here are the last four Late Spider uploads from what has been a remarkable season.
------------------------------------------------
FIXMAS.
6 months to Christmas.
After the hunt was cut short on Friday due to time constraints, I arranged to meet my friend, Terry, back at the site on Sunday morning.
And as Sunday was due to be the warmest, if not hottest day of the year, we were going to be there early.
Jools and I had coffee, then packed to leave, reaching the site via quiet lanes well before eight, but the temperature was already building.
A quick search of the original site, then a walk along the down to the newly found (by us) one, where could already see Terry high above us.
Also there was a guy from Devon, another Graham, and he had come to look to.
So, the four of us began to search the down for the little green bugger.
I am pretty sure we looked at every spike, at least once, and although we found some very nice spikes, not the one we were looking for.
A short drive away is the site I saw the hybrid last year, and this really was the last throw of the dice stuff. Its a long hike up the down, and across to the steep side.
Here, the spikes were already well past their best, with just a couple worth seeing and snapping, but certainly nothing of any note.
It was half eleven, twenty six degrees, and too hot for any more.
We all bailed.
Jools and I drove home, where once inside we both had a long, cold drink before brunch of fruit and croissants.
For three hours we sweltered inside, too hot for anything. But then came the cooking.
I asked Jen what she and Sylv would like to eat on Sunday: "roast" said Jen.
So, on the hottest day of the year, I roasted leg of lamb for some two hours, steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes and baked Yorkshire puddings.
By six, it was like I had crawled in the oven, but the meal was wonderful, and most cleared their plates.
But still hot.
We sat outside in the shade of the house for an hour, just talking, by which time it was eight and time for Jen and Sylv to go home, and for Jools and I to clear away the last of the washing up, have a brew, then go to bed.
Phew rock and roll.

Classed as Vulnerable in the Red List of threatened orchids, the Late Spider-orchid is one of Britain's rarest orchids. It is now restricted to a few sites in Kent, where many of the plants are protected by cages to prevent damage by grazing animals and other predators. Like its close relative the Bee Orchid Ophrys apifera, Ophrys fuciflora has evolved to mimic the form of a pollinating insect, and this facilitates pollination. Interestingly, the particular species of bees that pollinate Late Spider-orchids on mainland Europe do not occur in the UK, and so what little pollination takes place here must be facilitated by other insects, possibly small beetles. Seed-set is very low, and the likely factor which saves the small populations of Late Spider-orchids in Kent is that fully developed plants live for a long time and therefore only a small number of new plants are required annually in order to keep the population stable. The Late Spider-orchid flowers from late May to late July. Ophrys fuciflora is widespread in other parts of Europe from France eastwards to Romania and south to Italy.
Plant: 5-30cm.
Leaves: 3-5 lanceolate leaves form a basal rosette of which the lower leaves lie flat on the ground. They are greenish-grey and prominantly veined. There are 2-3 smaller, more pointed leaves higher up and loosely sheathing the stem.
Bracts: lanceolate and grey-green.
Flowers: the sepals vary in colour from pale- to dark pink with a prominent green 'rib' on their outer surfaces, and they are green-veined on the inner surface. The triangular petals are much smaller than the sepals and sometimes have dark reddish swellings (auricles) towards the base. The lip is a rich velvety dark brown and its shape is noticeably square. Square 'shoulders' at the base of the lip vary in size and are often hairy. The speculum (mirror), which is extremely variable in colour and patterning, radiates from a semi-circular 'necklace' that surrounds the column.
The Late Spider-orchid belongs to the Ophrys genus. Its Latin name derives from the words 'focus' and 'flos' meaning 'bee-flowered'.
There are no subspecies, but there is such considerable range of colour and patterning of the lip as to invite numerous suggested variations, notably Ophrys fuciflora var. flavescens which lacks colour pigmentation and has white sepals and petals, a greenish lip with very faint markings. Two hybrids are recorded, Ophrys x albertiana is a hybrid with the Bee Orchid Ophrys apifera, while Ophrys x obscura is a hybrid with the Early Spider-orchid Ophrys sphegodes.

Leucism is a wide variety of conditions that result in the partial loss of pigmentation in an animal/bird - causing white, pale, or patchy colouration of the skin, hair or feathers.
This beauty is a resident a the local cemetery.
Given that I was in Louisville for the NBDCC 2025 (National Barbie Doll Collectors Convention), I decided (after hemming and hawing) to drive the hour and forty-five minutes to Bowling Green to try to find the white squirrels on campus. I was told they are all over, but you have decent odds trying at the WKU campus. So off I went. After arriving early (benefiting from the time change to Central), I walked around and noticed a number of Eastern Grey Squirrels on campus, but for the first hour, any white ones were elusive. Then by the Housing and Residence Life building (and the Centennial Mall), I noticed a bright white object moving. I found one! This little guy (little chance to mistake that) was probably the only one I saw. I moved around and did not find any others - but got some great pictures of this little charmer.
FWIW, the white squirrels in Bowling Green, Kentucky are leucistic. A leucistic squirrel has a condition that leads to a partial loss of pigmentation. The distinction between leucistic squirrels and albino squirrels is typically in the eyes. If they have dark eyes and are white or mostly white or off-white, they have leucism. A great squirrel tourism campus indeed! Taken on Friday June 27th, 2025 in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
Nyah is part of Inamorata Vitiligo collection that celebrates the beauty of this unique type of pigmentation. The collection consists of three dolls in Chocolate resin: Nyah (Nnaji sculpt), Nala (Nnaji sculpt) and Imani (Nubia sculpt).
Nala has one blue and one brown eye, black lashes, red glossy lips and vitiligo pigmentation. The white lingerie is from Inamorata Cherub LE30 from 2013.

EVERYTING else was all designed and laid out by me (repeated markings on back of shoulders, split Neo Zeon insignias on top of binders, text on legs and arms, danger warnings, funnel binder text and isignia, etc.). I also changed the color to gold to match the metallic finish I was creating. I sent this design off to Samuel to produce the decals for me.
Regarding the metallic finish, I wanted to add some visual interest and not just do the same old color over chrome metallics. I lightly sanded the gloss black primer before spraying on the chrome Alclad and it gave me the brushed metal look seen here. A way of weathering the finish without getting dirty. The red was Alclad Transparent Red (I've said it before-- DO NOT USE HOT METAL RED!!! It has nowhere near the amount of pigmentation for primary color use). Gold is also Alclad. Grays and blacks are Gunze and Gaia respectively.
There are also some physical mods with the addition of HiQParts thrusters inside the binders and on the outside of the legs. Metal collar parts were used for the hoses.
“Solenopora” jurassica Nicholson in Brown, 1894 - fossil red algae in limestone from the Jurassic of Britain. (~7.8 centimeters tall)
Rhodophytes are red algae - they are the most common and widespread of marine macroalgae, but they often go unnoticed because of their frequently-dull coloration and nondescript growth forms. Over 7000 species of red algae are known in the Holocene - most of them are marine, plus some freshwater forms. Rhodophytes are also known in the fossil record. Very old fossil red algae have been reported from the upper Mesoproterozoic (~1.2 Ga) of northern Canada.
Red algae vary in color - not all are reddish. Rhodophytes can be red, pink, pale pink, lavender, purple, brownish-red, whitish, and yellowish. Fleshy red algae are usually weed-like to mossy to fuzzy in appearance. Calcareous red algae have skeletons with calcium carbonate (CaCO3 - calcite or aragonite). Calcareous red algae are important reef organisms - they include branching forms and crusts. Upon death, the hard part skeletal components of calcareous red algae become biogenic sediments in reef and peri-reef environments.
The remarkable fossil shown above is a "Solenopora" jurassica red alga with its pinkish coloration still preserved. It’s encased in a matrix of Middle Jurassic fossiliferous-oolitic limestone from Britain. Samples of this material have been nicknamed "beetroot stones". Biomarkers consistent with a rhodophyte affinity have been extracted from British beetroot stones (see Barden et al., 2015).
Previous studies have suggested that Jurassic fossils identified as Solenopora are not congeneric with the type species from the Ordovician of Estonia, Solenopora spongioides Dybowski, 1878. British Jurassic specimens are therefore assigned as "Solenopora" jurassica.
Classification: Rhodophyta, Rhodophyceae, “Solenoporaceae”

Leucism is a wide variety of conditions that result in the partial loss of pigmentation in an animal/bird - causing white, pale, or patchy colouration of the skin, hair or - like here - feathers.
A five-day old Eastern Bluebird in the backyard box. Incredible how fast baby birds grow. Compare to the photo below on hatch date. The bird is noticeably larger, darker pigmentation, eyes starting to open and pin feathers appearing on the wings. They fledge in about 17 days. Not babies long.

Rock-pool Blenny - Parablennius parvicornis (Valenciennes, 1836) [more of this species]
A blenny that occurs in the Eastern Atlantic African Coast from the Congo River to Cape Blanc (Mauritania/ Western Sahara border) as well as Cape Verde and the Canary Islands, Madeira and the Azores which are further north than Cape Blanc. This species is replaced by P. sanguinolentus in the Mediterranean and Morroco south toe Casablanca. The two species are seperated by about 14° Latitude along the coast. This species has 1 less dorsal spine (X vs XI), some slight differences in dentition and pigmentation.
It is best identified by having 6-7 light stripes radiating outwards around the eyes. The base colour can be very dark to light olive green. The body and the dorsal fins are marbled with a darker shade. There are also lighter spots all over its body including the dorsal and pectoral fins. The front of the dorsal fin is edged with red and the rear edge and the entire length of the anal fin is bordered with a black with a white edige.

Friday 23rd June 2023
Last day of the week, and if I am honest, beginning to feel a little bit better after suffering more than I'd like to admit since knacking my back before going to Svalbard.
This was the first time I have felt sure on my feet since then, happy and confident as my brain ordered them plates to climb a down, and they obeyed and I didn't feel like I was going to come tumbling back down.
But before all that, there was work. And putting out the bins.
Jools went to yoga, so was on bin duty. Made a second coffee and made ready for work.
My colleagues are travelling this weekend, both going to Taiwan, meanwhile I will have an online audit on Tuesday. My audits are loaded to the second half of the year, so for now I try to make sense of our planning "tool", and try to make sense of the chaos.
Its different chaos from the usual general chaos.
I have chosen to pick a fight with someone two corporate levels above me, mainly because I am right and they're not. And because, what the fuck?
Anyway, the morning was spent swapping messages as they were too busy for a call. And is going on holiday at the end of the day.
So I throw a few grenades over the wall before signing off, and smiled to myself.
Jools returned at half one, changes and we go out. It was a glorious afternoon, she was going to go swimming in the harbour, and I was going to meet Graham and look for orchids.
An orchid.
Jools said not to hurry back, so I wouldn't. Within reason.
Drove to Wye where I was to meet Graham, before I got in his car and we drove to another down.
Last week two people posted shots of a rare "yellow" form of a Late Spider, and after some detective work, I decided it was at the site we were about to explore. I had not been here before, and Graham had found it only a few weeks back, where he saw maybe 15 spikes.
We had to limbo under a fence, go along a track then up the down, where we saw the first Late Spiders.
In huge numbers.
And monster spikes too, one with 10 (ten) flowers, and many with unusual lip markings, colouration and one with a yellow spike.
And the spikes kept showing all up to the top of the down, but the orchid we came to find, we did not see.
Two hours passed, and I had to go to pick up Jools, so we walked back down to Graham's car, so he could run me to ours, then back along lanes to Stone Street and the short run to the motorway and to home.
Jools had met an old friend and they had talked for over an hour, so no worries on keeping her waiting.
We went back home, getting back at quarter past five, so time to feed the cats, and get ready for the quiz. Meanwhile, Jools went to collect a Chinese takeaway, so that when the quiz was done, I would be collected and we would go to Jen's for dinner and cards.
ylv is still here, and running interference. She means well, but chaos follows here. Everywhere.
We eat well, then after packing away, we play cards, taking two hours to get through a game of Meld, as Sylv is poorly organised she seems just to stare at her cards. Jools helps here twice, and she wins the hands as a result.
But not John, it was too late for a hand of Queenie. So we went home.

Classed as Vulnerable in the Red List of threatened orchids, the Late Spider-orchid is one of Britain's rarest orchids. It is now restricted to a few sites in Kent, where many of the plants are protected by cages to prevent damage by grazing animals and other predators. Like its close relative the Bee Orchid Ophrys apifera, Ophrys fuciflora has evolved to mimic the form of a pollinating insect, and this facilitates pollination. Interestingly, the particular species of bees that pollinate Late Spider-orchids on mainland Europe do not occur in the UK, and so what little pollination takes place here must be facilitated by other insects, possibly small beetles. Seed-set is very low, and the likely factor which saves the small populations of Late Spider-orchids in Kent is that fully developed plants live for a long time and therefore only a small number of new plants are required annually in order to keep the population stable. The Late Spider-orchid flowers from late May to late July. Ophrys fuciflora is widespread in other parts of Europe from France eastwards to Romania and south to Italy.
Plant: 5-30cm.
Leaves: 3-5 lanceolate leaves form a basal rosette of which the lower leaves lie flat on the ground. They are greenish-grey and prominantly veined. There are 2-3 smaller, more pointed leaves higher up and loosely sheathing the stem.
Bracts: lanceolate and grey-green.
Flowers: the sepals vary in colour from pale- to dark pink with a prominent green 'rib' on their outer surfaces, and they are green-veined on the inner surface. The triangular petals are much smaller than the sepals and sometimes have dark reddish swellings (auricles) towards the base. The lip is a rich velvety dark brown and its shape is noticeably square. Square 'shoulders' at the base of the lip vary in size and are often hairy. The speculum (mirror), which is extremely variable in colour and patterning, radiates from a semi-circular 'necklace' that surrounds the column.
The Late Spider-orchid belongs to the Ophrys genus. Its Latin name derives from the words 'focus' and 'flos' meaning 'bee-flowered'.
There are no subspecies, but there is such considerable range of colour and patterning of the lip as to invite numerous suggested variations, notably Ophrys fuciflora var. flavescens which lacks colour pigmentation and has white sepals and petals, a greenish lip with very faint markings. Two hybrids are recorded, Ophrys x albertiana is a hybrid with the Bee Orchid Ophrys apifera, while Ophrys x obscura is a hybrid with the Early Spider-orchid Ophrys sphegodes.

Modern pigmentation often used artificial substances. The color is blended with oil, usually linseed oil but other sebum may be used as well. Flower Paintings The various sebum dry in a different way, creating various effects.Traditionally, performers combined their own shows from raw pigmentation that they often ground themselves and method. This made mobility difficult and kept most painting activities limited to the studio room. This modified in the delayed Nineteenth century, when oil colour in pipes became accessible.Performers could mix shades easily, which allowed, for the first time, relatively practical plein air (outdoor) painting (a common strategy in France Impressionism).

The Science and Engineering Building is headquarters for the College of Arts and Sciences and the School of the Environment. Think of it as the hub for the natural sciences--biological, molecular, and earth and environmental.
Lots of research happens here. There's a Zebrafish Pigment Cell Biology Lab studying the cell biology, developmental biology and genetics of pigmentation; the Porter Lab studies plant-microbe biology in the onsite greenhouse and in the field; and the famous Titan VanCoug corpse flower lives in the northeast stairwell.

The Common Buckeye is a permanent resident in the southern United States and north along the coasts to central California and North Carolina; south to Bermuda, Cuba, Isle of Pines, and southern Mexico. Adults from the south's first brood migrate north in late spring and summer to temporarily colonize most of the United States and parts of southern Canada.
Adult butterlies favorite nectar sources are composites including aster, chickory, gumweed, knapweed, and tickseed sunflower. Dogbane, peppermint, and other flowers are also visited.
The caterpillar host plants are from the snapdragon family including snapdragon (Antirrhinum) and toadflax (Linaria); the plantain family including plantains (Plantago); and the acanthus family including ruellia (Ruellia nodiflora).
Habitat includes open, sunny areas with low vegetation and some bare ground.
Male Buckeyes typically perch during the day on low plants or bare ground to watch for females, flying periodically to patrol or to chase away other flying insects. Females lay eggs singly on leaf buds or on upperside of host plant leaves. Typically two to three broods from May - October, throughout the year in the Deep South. Caterpillars are solitary and eat leaves. Caterpillars and adults overwinter, but only in the south.
Buckeyes (Junonia) are known for their distinctive bold pattern of eyespots and white bars on the upper wing surface. The eyespots likely serve to startle or distract predators, especially young birds. Common Buckeyes exhibit seasonal polyphenism, or better known as polyphenic pigmentation, which is adaptive for insect species that undergo multiple matings each year. Different pigmentation patterns provide appropriate camouflage throughout the seasons, as well as alter heat retention as temperatures change. The summer version of the Common Buckeye has light yellowish ventral wings and is called "linea". The Fall morph has pinkish ventral wings, and is called the "rosa" morph.

Overview of rooms in the museum:
The museum, as it is now, is completely renewed. Old information about rooms and their numbers are still not updated, not even in Wikipedia. They mention twenty rooms, and their names, but there are 27 rooms, XXVII
Maybe wiki will update their page soon, as it is in October 2015, it is not updated.

This serial of photos offers an impression of details of the collection with Minoan Art, belonging to the Palace of Knossos. the Archaeological Museum in Heraklion has been completely renewed. Lots of amazing information can be read next to art objects.
It is not allowed to use flash when making photos. This, and the many visitors made it hardly possible to make really sharp photos in some seconds.
My camera is a rather cheap one and creates curved lines.
Some photos are not sharp, but I kept them anyway.
Altogether it has been a deeply impressing visit, moving, deeply moving because of the mystical, spiritual, mental and emotional depth of the Art.
The Minoans were utterly creative.
Their art is comparable with our modern art. Their use of colors makes the art characteristic: pastel colors (modest in pigmentation), terra colors, with blue, green and ochre.
Often I edited the photos in several ways. Or cropped them, to attract the attention for details.
Enjoy the collection of photos. If you want to read more about the Minoans:

I would like to recommend a video with the music by Cretan composer Yannis Markopoulos. The photo: I have cherished it all the years I know this video now, deep in my heart. When seeing this photo in the museum, September 7, 2015, I was surprised by the colors. In reality the colors are more pastel. Lighter.
The music in the video is named:
*Concerto-Rhapsody for Cretan lyre and orchestra, ΙΙ. Allegro Moderato
*Lyre: Zacharias Spyridakis
*Conductor and orchestra: Edwig Abrath, Flanders Symphony Orchestra
