In nature and in life, matters can become busy. Still, we are all individual, all unique. We ought to find and focus on that uniqueness which makes us who we are for otherwise we simply blend into the background and become lost.
Be yourself.

Most animals cannot recognize themselves in a mirror.
The exceptions include bonobos, orangutans, chimps, dolphins, elephants, and humans… some of the greatest hits of evolution.
Psychologists have pondered the implications on consciousness of a neural basis of self-awareness.
But I have not seen a discussion as to why and how this capability has evolved. Do you know of a discussion of this topic? It’s not mentioned on wikipedia.
I am thinking of static image self-recognition ( a dynamic moving image could be an avatar and I would call that imitation-recognition, like monkey see, monkey do).
Except for a narcissistic glance into a still pond, most animals have not evolved in the presence of mirrors or smooth reflective surfaces. And it’s particularly tricky for the underwater dolphins (no reflection to see).
Why might self-recognition be important to the propagation of certain species? It seems to me that the key is not the recognition of self, but the recognition of offspring. Facial recognition of ones children in a social grouping seems like a differential advantage for long-term child rearing and protection.
Other perceptual paths have been pursued, and suffice in certain contexts. Scent requires proximity, and seems to be easily masked in some cases (e.g., handling chicks leading to rejection by the mother bird). Penguins identify their young in the herd by the sound of their chirp (has the accuracy of that been tested?)
Perhaps the mirror self-recognition phenomenon could be more accurately called facial progeny perception, with the recognition of self just an incidental byproduct.
Coca-Cola is one of the most recognized brands and logos in the world. Coca-Cola is the most popular and biggest-selling soft drink in history, as well as the best-known product in the world. Created in Atlanta, Georgia by Dr. John S. Pemberton, Coca-Cola was first offered as a fountain beverage by mixing Coca-Cola syrup with carbonated water.
The Coca-Cola script was designed by an amateur, Frank Robinson, the fledgling company's bookkeeper. He devised both the Spencerian script and the brilliantly concise words beneath: "Delicious and Refreshing." The bottle is among the most recognizable icons in the world, a design that has come to symbolize the youthful exuberance of America. Countless variations have been released over the decades, but the enduring classic is the curved vessel designed by the Root Glass Company of Terre Haute, Indiana, and introduced in 1915. A Coca-Cola dispenser was later designed by Raymond Loewy. Coca-Cola was registered as a trademark in 1887 and by 1895 Coca-Cola was being sold in every state and territory in the United States. In 1899, the company began franchised bottling operations in the United States.
Coca-Cola's advertising has had a significant impact on American culture, and is frequently credited with the "invention" of the modern image of Santa Claus as an old man in red-and-white garments; however, while the company did in fact start promoting this image in the 1930s in its winter advertising campaigns, it was already common before that. Advertising for Coke is now almost ubiquitous, especially in southern areas of North America, such as Atlanta, where Coke was invented.
Coca-Cola has gone through a number of different advertising slogans in its long history, including "The pause that refreshes", "I would like to buy the world a Coke", and "Coke is it" (see Coca-Cola slogans).
... this concludes my little history lesson for today!
We deployed our Live Facial Recognition (LFR) technology for the first time this week.
The two vans were in Sale town centre on Tuesday where officers were on hand to talk to and engage with members of the public.
No arrests were made and the vans will return to Sale on Thursday for a further deployment.
Inspector Jon Middleton, who oversaw the Sale operation, said: “We deploy the LFR vans in areas where there is a policing reason – for example shoplifting or neighbourhood crime.
“It is important we are out and about speaking to people and engaging with the public, and that is exactly what we have been doing in Sale.
“People have generally been happy to see us and speak to us, and supportive of the way the technology is being used.
“We will gradually build up the number and frequency of the deployments, and in the coming weeks will be in Bolton, Wigan and Manchester city centre.”
We are using LFR technology to ensure the continued safety of our communities in Greater Manchester.
The Home Office has supplied GMP with two LFR vans for use in areas where an operational need has been identified – not exclusively but areas with crime issues and large footfall, as well as music and sporting events.
The cameras will focus on a specific area or crowd and detect faces compared to a pre-prepared watchlist with an alert issued immediately if there is a match.
We will list future deployments on our website.
You should call 101, the national non-emergency number, to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response.
Always call 999 in an emergency, such as when a crime is in progress, violence is being used or threatened or where there is danger to life.
You can also call anonymously with information about crime to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Crimestoppers is an independent charity who will not want your name, just your information. Your call will not be traced or recorded and you do not have to go to court or give a statement.

I thought it was time to bring back the art & design side of things to this stream. I've been shooting images for my portfolio this week. Sadly, I don't think this little book will make the cut. I guess it wins a feature over here instead.
I made this a couple of years ago as a project in my bookbinding class. It's 100% hand-done by me. It is built from escaboard and bookcloth, blind-debossed on the front (from a hot-foil stamper), and then the interior was built out of craft paper and vintage semi-transparent sewing patterns—the theme being pattern-recognition, or lack thereof. It is a spin-off of a coptic stitch. All the interior imagery and type was inititally hand-drawn by me, and then I used the old oil-of-wintergreen technique in making rubbing prints (god, did I hate the smell of mint for a while). This book was produced in an edition of five.
Anyway, yeah. Just thought I'd change things up.
At the launch of their book An Insiders Guide To Canada's Capital David Ebere and Zainab Muse are recognized by Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson at the Wingd party held at Ottawa's prestigious Rideau Club.
I had met Zaianab as part of my Human Family Project and she was kind enough to invite me to their book launch.

The City of Laredo Mayor Pete Saenz presented recognitions and appreciation certificates for the service and contributions made by those volunteers appointed by Mayor Saenz to 38 Advisory and City Committees during the Mayor’s tenure.
Additionally, Council recognized Mr. Carlos Luna, a former Director of the J.W. Nixon High School Band from 1984 to 2014. Mr. Luna and his students received 28 consecutive UIL Sweepstakes Awards. His concert bands including the J.W. Nixon High School Honors Winds Ensemble won first place and honorable mention awards at festivals in Texas, Washington, D.C., and Colorado. Mr. Luna, his students, and band staff earned recognition at numerous marching band competitions, some of which include UIL Area and State Marching Band Contest rankings. The marching bands, under his direction, advanced from the regional level to UIL Area and State Marching Band Contest on several occasions. His band was a consistent TMEA (Texas Music Educators Association) State Honor Band contender for many years, ranking as high as eighth place in the State of Texas in Conference 5A, which is now the new 6A classification. During his 35 years in music education, Mr. Luna also served LISD as band coordinator and director of fine arts. He was also previously inducted into the TMEA Region XIV South Texas Band Directors Hall of Fame in Corpus Christi, Texas.
Lastly, Lisa Kristina was recognized by Council for her community outreach volunteer participation and work through COVID-19 vaccine drives, purchasing and making COVID-19 kits and distributing over 500 kits throughout the community. Lisa Kristina is a medical school candidate who assisted our community in vaccinating over 3,000 individuals. Her volunteer work and participation in our community has not gone unnoticed.
