Caspian Terns have new, High Tide Roost Site
After a rather poor Spring and early Summer Collecting Re Sight leg Bands from Caspian Terns My speculation about a general movement of Caspian Terns from their former High Tide roost at Tsawwassen Terminal. Across to the newly constructed sea dam wall that surrounds an area to be filled to form the new Parking Lot/Container Berth at Wesrtshore Terminals. Tonight with the tide Aprox. 14.5 Feet and rising there were only 4 to 5 terns at the Compensation Lagoon Taswwassen Ferry Terminal.. Tonight's Total after several disturbances was 271 On the Gravel bream or sea dam. The following bands were Read
L/L Yellow Over Orange with Yellow at the foot. Red over Metal with Dark Blue at the foot. This info may be suspect as the Bands were faded see Pic.
L/L Yellow Over Red with Orange at the foot R/L Yellow Over Lt. Grn with Metal at the foot.
L/L Red over Red with Dark Green at the foot R/L Yellow Over Lt. Grn with metal at the foot.
L/L Orange over Orange with Yellow at the Foot R/L Lt. Grn over Metal with Lt. Grn at the foot.
L/L ONLY White over Orange with Lt. Grn at the foot. The RIGHT LEG was just a STUMP This could be as result of banding ??? See photo to come
An Alpha numerical Yellow Band with Black Codes was Obs see Photo to come First Code was an A over 1 Next Code ? followed by 1 at the foot.
the ? code was possibly 4 or 6 maybe 8 ???
The Problem with this fantastic location is that it is about 600 feet into the security zone. So after about 40 Minutes of Observation a security guard arrived to ask me to leave.
After making numerous trips to the OLD areas used by the Terns during High Tides and Low. They seem to be dispersed from there old territories. After about 5 to 6 Years of collecting information it would be nice to continue?

Roosevelt Island has long been the subject of curiosity and speculation. How and why did its inhabitants carve and transport the massive statues which surround the island? What remains of this culture today, and what lessons can we learn from their legacy? Roosevelt Island, also known as Minnehanonck, Varken Eyland, Blackwell's Island and Welfare Island is over 2 miles from the nearest population center, (Manhattan and Queens), making it one of the most isolated places in New York. The only access via a subway, aerial tram or bridge. A narrow strip of land in the East River - it is best known for the giant stone monoliths, known as Parking Bollards, that dot the northern coastline.
There's been much speculation for many years about the true nature of the sail on the back of this prehistoric creature. Based on this latest paleontological discovery, we now know it was an evolutionary adaptation that allowed it to beat out its competition by selling advertising space.
There is a lot of speculation about the future of this school along Loushers Lane in Warrington.
It has been empty for some time and a board up 'For Sale'.
I have heard that initially the Lane was going right through the middle, but now the guess is more houses.
We shall see soon!
Just when speculation was soaring, the first glimpse of what they were in store for actually strolled out of the quarantine zone. It was the LA Tim Biskup Dunny...but it wasn't. What is this abomination??
Speculation on the street was that the fire had its origin in an apartment or balcony bar-b-que. This two upper floor apartment appeared to sustain the worst damage.
While global food prices are rising, pushing the world's poorest people into hunger, bankers are betting on food prices and once again look set to push them even higher.
We're campaigning hard for new laws to regulate food speculation - and the next few weeks will be crucial.
Euro MPs and finance ministers are both about to decide their position on the new rules. The UK government, represented by Chancellor George Osborne, is opposed to strong rules to tackle food speculation.
So we are going to present him with a photo petition to show him just how many people are concerned about the issue.
"Hannah Courtoy (1784 - 26 January 1849), born Hannah Peters, was a London society woman who inherited a fortune from the merchant John Courtoy in 1815. Her distinctive Egyptian-style mausoleum in London's Brompton Cemetery has been the subject of considerable curiosity and speculation ever since a report by Reuters in 1998 repeated claims that it contained a working time machine.
"Hannah Courtoy was born Hannah Peters in 1784. She never married but had three daughters, Mary Ann (1801), Elizabeth (1804-1876), and Susannah (1807-1895). In 1830, Susannah married Septimus Holmes Godson, a barrister of Gray's Inn.
"In 1815, Courtoy inherited a fortune from the elderly merchant John Courtoy (born Nicholas Jacquinet in France, 1709) through a Will that was disputed in court.
"Courtoy's distinctive Egyptian-style mausoleum of 1854[9] in Brompton Cemetery, where her unmarried daughters Elizabeth and Mary Ann are also interred, has been the subject of considerable curiosity ever since a report by Reuters in 1998[10] reported on rumours that it might be or contain a working time machine, a speculation that has been fuelled by various articles written by the musician Stephen Coates of the band The Real Tuesday Weld."

More on the story of Hannah Courtoy's mausoleum
Independent article on the time machine theory
"Brompton Cemetery is a London cemetery in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. It is managed by The Royal Parks, and is one of the Magnificent Seven cemeteries. Established by Act of Parliament and erected in 1839, it opened in 1840 and was originally known as the West of London and Westminster Cemetery.
"Consecrated by Charles James Blomfield, the Bishop of London in June 1840, it is one of Britain's oldest and most distinguished garden cemeteries. Some 35,000 monuments, from simple headstones to substantial mausolea, mark the resting place of more than 205,000 burials. The site includes large plots for family mausolea, and common graves where coffins are piled deep into the earth, as well as a small columbarium. There is also a secluded Garden of Remembrance at the northern end, for cremated remains. It is also an urban haven for nature.
"By the early years of the 19th century, inner city burial grounds, mostly churchyards, had long been unable to cope with the number of burials and were seen as a hazard to health and an undignified way to treat the dead. In 1837 a decision was made to lay out a new burial ground in Brompton, London. The moving spirit behind the project was the engineer, Stephen Geary, and it was necessary to form a company in order to get parliamentary permission to raise capital for the purpose. Securing the land – some 40 acres – from local landowner, Lord Kensington and the Equitable Gas Light Company, as well as raising the money proved an extended challenge. The cemetery became one of seven large, new cemeteries founded by private companies in the mid-19th century (sometimes called the 'Magnificent Seven') forming a ring around the edge of London."

Bruce Jenner is not entertaining the speculations and wants the chance to be able to tell his own story on his own terms. The impending revelations are in no way a mode of making money as there is no basis to this.
Finally, after many years of speculation, the first volume of the first Swedish translation of Hong Lou Meng is published! I got it yesterday and so far it seems to hold up to all expectations one can have on a good translation.
EDIT: After reading a few chapters, I must add something about the translation to the previous comment. Maybe any translation of this book would prove to be disappointing, and there is definitely something lacking in the Swedish text as well, although I must say it is a fluent and very readable translation. To make it brilliant, though, I suspect that one must approach the original text with an equally large portion of originality oneself.
EDIT II: By the way, have you noticed the optical effect making the whole image look a bit tilted in relation to the image next to it?

** "Zoo in China denies speculation that its bears are actually humans in disguise"
After receiving my degree in animal psychology,
And wondering what path to pursue,
Through reliable sources, I became aware of an opening
As a bear at a Chinese zoo.
What better way to exploit my knowledge
Of the workings of an animal's brain,
Than to spend my days in a bear costume...
Do I really need to explain?
I could wave at the visitors and beg for snacks,
Pose for selfies and growl fairly loud.
There's a sense of fulfillment that a normal job lacks,
As I savor the bemusement of the crowd.
And my uniform, of course: 100% natural fiber,
Made from real bearskin, I suppose.
But the thrill I'd receive
When the crowds finally leave,
Would be more valued than just fancy clothes.
After a long day at work, doing dances, telling jokes--
Of course all in my bear dialect,
I'd go back to my room and
Try once again to act human...
Not as easy as one might expect.

War speculations… Since the first formation of the Ukrainian conflict and the transition to the stage of hot conflict, it was predicted that Russia would end the war in a short time with a quick operation. Since the situation on the field did not turn out to be very favorable, Russia was not in a position to declare victory. That makes it unlikely that on May 9 (the Victory Day Russia celebrates as a national holiday), Putin will announce that the war is over. Putin would probably make such a statement by declaring that they have won the war, but there is no victory.
Russian possibilities… May 9, 1945, the date when the German army accepted the surrender agreement that ended the Second World War. In other words, the day when Stalin's Russia was victorious. Due to the symbolic significance of the day, it was thought that Putin would make a similar crowning in the early stages of the war. Conversely, there are speculations that, given the military failure in Ukraine, Putin could take things a step further on May 9 and beyond.
One of these; just like in Crimea, Russia's declaration of annexation of Donetsk and Luhansk or holding a pro-independence referendum there. Due to the developments in Crimea in 2014, it is highly probable. The independence referendum, and then the decision of de-facto independent regions to join Russia is a way that has been adapted to the book in terms of international law, exactly the same way was followed in Crimea.

Banksy is a pseudonymous England-based street artist, political activist, and film director whose real name and identity remain unconfirmed and the subject of speculation. Active since the 1990s, his satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine dark humour with graffiti executed in a distinctive stenciling technique. His works of political and social commentary have appeared on streets, walls, and bridges throughout the world. His work grew out of the Bristol underground scene, which involved collaborations between artists and musicians. Banksy says that he was inspired by 3D, a graffiti artist and founding member of the musical group Massive Attack.
Banksy displays his art on publicly visible surfaces such as walls and self-built physical prop pieces. He no longer sells photographs or reproductions of his street graffiti, but his public "installations" are regularly resold, often even by removing the wall on which they were painted. Much of his work can be classified as temporary art. A small number of his works are officially, non-publicly, sold through an agency he created called Pest Control. Banksy's documentary film Exit Through the Gift Shop (2010) made its debut at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. In January 2011, he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature for the film. In 2014, he was awarded Person of the Year at the 2014 Webby Awards.
Banksy's name and identity remain unconfirmed and the subject of speculation. In a 2003 interview with Simon Hattenstone of The Guardian, Banksy is described as "white, 28, scruffy casual—jeans, T-shirt, a silver tooth, silver chain and silver earring. He looks like a cross between Jimmy Nail and Mike Skinner of The Streets." An ITV News segment of 2003 featured a short interview with someone identified in the reporting as Banksy. Banksy began as an artist at the age of 14, was expelled from school, and served time in prison for petty crime. According to Hattenstone, "anonymity is vital to him because graffiti is illegal". Banksy reportedly lived in Easton, Bristol, during the late 1990s, before moving to London around 2000.
In an interview with the BBC in 2003, which was rediscovered in November 2023, reporter Nigel Wrench asked if Banksy is called Robert Banks; Banksy responded that his forename is Robbie. The Mail on Sunday claimed in 2008 that Banksy is Robin Gunningham, born on 28 July 1974 in Yate, 12 miles (19 km) from Bristol. Several of Gunningham's associates and former schoolmates at Bristol Cathedral School have corroborated this, and, in 2016, a study by researchers at the Queen Mary University of London using geographic profiling found that the incidence of Banksy's works correlated with the known movements of Gunningham. According to The Sunday Times, Gunningham began employing the name Robin Banks, which eventually became Banksy. Two cassette sleeves featuring his art work from 1993, for the Bristol band Mother Samosa, exist with his signature. In June 2017, DJ Goldie referred to Banksy as "Rob" in an interview for a podcast.
Other speculations on Banksy's identity include the following:
Robert Del Naja (also known as 3D), a member of the trip hop band Massive Attack, had been a graffiti artist during the 1980s prior to forming the band, and was previously identified as a personal friend of Banksy.
In 2020, users on Twitter began to speculate that former Art Attack presenter Neil Buchanan was Banksy. This was denied by Buchanan's publicist.
In 2022, Billy Gannon, a local councillor in Pembroke Dock was rumoured to be Banksy. He subsequently resigned because the speculation was affecting his ability to carry out the duties of a councillor. "I'm being asked to prove who I am not, and the person that I am not may not exist," he said. "I mean, how am I supposed to prove that I'm not somebody who doesn't exist? Just how do you do that?"
In October 2014, an internet hoax circulated that Banksy had been arrested and his identity revealed.
