Medical Laboratory Science Program (Bachelor of Science)
Turn Your Love of Science Into an In-Demand Career.
Have you taken a COVID-19 test? A medical laboratory scientist processed the test to determine your results.
These healthcare professionals have played a significant "behind the scenes" role in recent years, yet they were in demand even before the pandemic.
Medical laboratory scientists obtain, prepare, investigate, and analyze samples of biological material (such as blood, tissue and urine) from the human body in order to identify sources of disease and determine the validity of data that allows physicians to make their patient diagnosis or determine the effectiveness of treatment.
If you have a passion for science and a drive to understand the world at a cellular level, you can turn your interests into an exciting career that makes a difference.
This is a job with no direct patient interaction, well suited for those who would prefer to work in labs.
Whether analyzing blood and tissue samples, matching blood types, looking for cellular abnormalities, or identifying parasites and bacteria, GMercyU's bachelor's degree (BS) in medical laboratory science will help you develop problem-solving skills in a clinical lab setting.
GMercyU's 3+1 Medical Laboratory Science program includes three years on our campus for completing required general education and science courses, and one year of hands-on and classroom instruction at an affiliate program as you prepare to pass the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) boards.

The Southern Police Institute is an integral part of the Department of Criminal Justice in the College of Arts and Sciences of the University of Louisville. It is an advanced educational and training institute whose mission is to enhance the professional development of law enforcement practitioners. Since the creation of the Southern Police Institute in 1951, its program of instruction has been based on the belief that law enforcement is a demanding activity requiring the highest level of professional preparation. The Administrative Officers Course has been offered continuously since 1951. Today, it is our primary leadership development program. It is designed to provide a comprehensive and challenging educational experience that is intended to enhance the professional and personal lives of our students.
The Administrative Officers Course is a twelve week (480 hour) in-residence, accredited college level educational program. The course curriculum is designed to develop informed, effective, ethically and technically competent law enforcement managers who are capable of assuming positions of leadership in their respective agencies. It is an appropriate course for individuals in or about to be promoted to middle and upper management positions. This comprehensive development program provides instruction in law enforcement issues, diagnostic problem solving, and administrative law. The varied methods of instruction used by the faculty permit participants to engage their individual creativity and initiative through the analytical examination of issues and problems faced by contemporary law enforcement executives. This course is required as a prerequisite for appointment to the position of police chief by many government jurisdictions throughout the United States. Numerous graduates of the Administrative Officers Course are among today's law enforcement leaders directing agencies throughout the United States and abroad.
The Administrative Officers Course since its creation has attracted participants from law enforcement agencies throughout the United States, the Pacific Rim nations, and Europe. The diversity of this agency helps to foster an atmosphere of mutual respect and fellowship in which participants have the opportunity to learn from and share ideas with individuals they might not meet during the normal course of their professional activities. This interchange enhances the participant's skills in the art of cooperation, negotiation, compromise, and consensus. It ensures that class members will leave the Southern Police Institute with a network of graduates that will provide an outstanding resource from which they can seek assistance for organizational problems throughout their careers. In addition, the participants are exposed to a wide range of thought on the application of the program subject matter by experienced administrators, educators, practitioners, and Administrative Officers Course graduates who visit regularly to lecture.

Today John and Dave head over to the Polynesian Village Resort to sample the Kona Brewing Sampler available at Kona Cafe and 'Ohana. Join them as they taste the first of three Kona brews, Longboard Island Lager.
EPCOT is a beautiful park during the day. At Night it becomes even more magical! We recently headed over for a day trip to the Food & Wine Festival. We grabbed a spot to watch Illuminations at 8:00, unknown to us the show was scheduled for 10:00 PM, not the usual 9:00. I took the chance to run around and get some pictures.
I had a great time running around getting these pics, hope you enjoyed them! Thanks!
This week, Dave and John head back to the fridge.
John Peters checks in live from the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival, Brewer's Collection kiosk, located between the Germany Pavilion and the Africa Outpost.
John had the Radeberger Zwickel Pilsner and the Hacker-Pschorr Hefe Weise. The kiosk now has a beer flight available. And in addition, they have added Norbetus back to the options.
Beer flights now consist of three beers, instead of four. Each beer is a 4 oz. pour for $4.00, individually.
A flight of three is $9.00 (a pretty good deal, since that's a 25% discount). You can substitute the Norbetus for any of the three that come standard with the flight.
During the podcast, his wife brought him a Schöfferhofer Zitrone Weizen-Mix. And John also talked about trying three beers from the Craft Beers Marketplace (located in the Odyssey Center): Concrete Beach Stiltsville Pilsner, 3 Daughters Bimini Twist IPA, and the Shipyard Midnight Snack Milk Stout.

The pancreas is a relatively small, yet vital organ that lies along the base of the stomach and the upper portion of the small intestine called the duodenum. It serves two primary metabolic purposes: its endocrine function regulates blood-glucose release and uptake, and its exocrine function produces digestive enzymes that are released through the pancreatic ducts into the duodenum. The enzymes aid in breaking down common dietary constituents such as fat, protein, and carbohydrates into lesser molecules that can be absorbed through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream. There are not two distinct sections of the pancreas responsible for these functions; rather, the endocrine and exocrine related cells are diffused throughout the entire organ. Pancreatic endocrine dysfunction can lead to diabetes mellitus or hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels); whereas exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) causes malabsorption of nutrients. Symptoms of EPI include persistent diarrhea, weight loss despite an increased appetite, and referred problems with other organ systems due to malnutrition.
Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency is caused by destruction of the related cells within the pancreas and can stem from several causes. In acinar atrophy, the acinar cells in the pancreas that store digestive enzymes become shriveled and dysfunctional. This condition is the most common cause of EPI in dogs. It is thought to have a genetic determinant, and breeds predisposed include Rough-Coated Collies and German Shepherd. Acinar atrophy can occur at any age, but generally develops in young adults.
Another cause of EPI in dogs and cats is chronic pancreatitis. Pancreatitis simply means inflammation of the organ, but does not suggest a reason. Pancreatitis may indiscriminately affect both the endocrine and exocrine functions of the pancreas, and it may lead to diabetes and EPI concurrently. Usually, symptoms of EPI do not occur until 90% or more of the enzyme-producing cells have been damaged. Miniature Schnauzers are at an increased risk of developing chronic pancreatitis.
Pancreatitis can become chronic after an acute episode. It may be caused by dietary indiscretion or occasionally, a bacterial infection of the pancreas. A fatty meal like meat trimmings or drippings may trigger the onset of illness. Vomiting and diarrhea are the primary symptoms, except in cats, which may have a relatively silent form of the disease. The most common cause of EPI in cats is due to chronic pancreatitis.
Pancreatic cancer is the rarest cause of EPI, yet carries the gravest prognosis. The cancer may be isolated in the pancreas or may have metastasized or spread from another organ system.
The digestive enzymes that are deficient in animals with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency include amylase, lipase, protease, and trypsin. Each serves to help breakdown specific components in the diet so that they may be absorbed and utilized for energy, growth, and tissue repair. Gray, greasy diarrhea results from maldigestion of the nutrients; and the animal will begin to lose weight despite a compensatory increased appetite. Poor hair-coat health evident as dry, flaky skin and increased shedding is a common secondary symptom to malnutrition.
After ruling out other possible causes of diarrhea, a diagnosis of EPI is confirmed with a blood test called a trypsin-like immunoreactivity test, or TLI. This test measures the blood level of the digestive enzyme trypsin, which is normally detectable in very small amounts in healthy animals. Dogs and cats with EPI will have virtually no measurable blood levels of the enzyme.
The treatment for EPI must include addressing any underlying cause for pancreatic changes. Then, dietary supplementation of the digestive enzymes is used to help aid digestion and absorption of nutrients. There are specific products formulated for dogs and cats (Pancrezyme, Viokase-V) available as powders that are mixed with the pet's food. Tablet forms do not seem to work as consistently as powders. In addition, an antacid may be given to help reduce the stomach's acid production and increase the available enzyme entering the intestinal tract. Furthermore, a low fiber, low to moderate fat, highly digestible food will help the pet absorb more nutrients and as a result, gain weight. There are "prescription" type diets that your veterinarian will recommend.
Adjunct therapies for EPI patients include intestinally active antibiotics to reduce bacterial overgrowth occurring as a result of maldigestion. Probiotics (lactobacillus acidophilus) can help to reestablish the normal bacterial flora in the gut. Cobalamin (vitamin B12) and folate (vitamin B9) supplementation is also required where bacteria have depleted the normal sources of these important vitamins. Cobalamin deficiency is associated with anemia and neuropathy; and even pets on supplementation enzymes may require ongoing B12 injections. Both cobalamin and folate blood tests are usually combined with the TLI test in the diagnostic blood-chemistry panel.
Supplementation will be required for the life of the patient. In most cases, patients respond very well to this treatment.

Q: AVPlayer flashing when using replaceCurrentItem() - Swift - Programmatically I'm setting up an AVPlayer in a UIView in this way:
fileprivate func setUpAVPlayer(){

    self.cardModel?.urlStrings?.forEach({ (urlString) in

        guard let url = URL(string: urlString) else { return }
        let asset = AVAsset(url: url)
        let playerItem = AVPlayerItem(asset: asset, automaticallyLoadedAssetKeys: nil)
        playerItem.addObserver(self, forKeyPath: #keyPath(AVPlayerItem.status), options: [.old, .new], context: nil)
        self.playerItemArray.append(playerItem)
    })
    player = AVPlayer(playerItem: playerItemArray[0])
}

In layoutSubviews I lay out the playerLayer that displays the player:
let playerLayer = AVPlayerLayer(player: player)
playerLayer.videoGravity = .resizeAspectFill
self.playerView.layer.insertSublayer(playerLayer, at: 0)
playerLayer.frame = playerView.bounds

Upon a certain event I change the current item of the player:
fileprivate func goToNextVideo(){
    counter = counter+1
    counter = min(playerItemArray.count-1, counter)

    self.player?.replaceCurrentItem(with: self.playerItemArray[self.counter])
    self.player?.seek(to: .zero)
    self.player?.play()
}

When I change the item the transition is not smooth and I can see a flash displaying the view below. There are some things I don't understand:

*

*Why If I preloaded all the AVPlayerItems at the beginning (when I loop all urls strings) I still have to wait for them to be loaded when they become the currentItem of the AVPlayer?

*For what concern the flickering effect I searched online and didn't find a solution, so I meticulously inspected the behaviour of the AVPlayer whenever changing Item and I describe it in this way:
First It shows a white view (view below)
Second It shows a frame of the video it is going to display (more of less the timeframe is at half of video)
Third It actually displays the video
This behaviour is really annoying and I'm wondering how I can solve it.

The Podfile:

target 'Test' do

end

When you call replaceCurrentItem, it will clean the image buffer then wait to render the next frame. So, the key point is to keep the last frame on the screen: Instead of using AVPlayerLayer to render video frame, you can use AVPlayerItemVideoOutput to get the frame and render it using OpenGL ES (or Metal). You can also decide when to clean the image buffer.

The company plans to manufacture its own e-scooters and bring them to market in 2019, according to the company's local operation manager in Israel
Omer Kabir | 15:29 06.03.2019
Dockless bike sharing company Beijing Mobike Technology Co. Ltd. is currently developing a prototype for an e-scooter, according to Liran Gilboa, who heads the company's operations in Israel on behalf of its local franchise holder Car2Go Ltd. Mobike plans to manufacture its own e-scooters and bring them to market in 2019, Gilboa said in an interview with Calcalist held in February.
Founded in 2015, Beijing-based Mobike raised around $930 million, before being acquired by Chinese web company Meituan-Dianping for $2.7 billion in April 2018.

Having expanded globally at a quick pace, bike sharing companies like Mobike and Beijing-based Ofo are now facing competition from e-scooter companies.
San Francisco-based Lime, originally a bike sharing company called LimeBike, has phased out its bike operations in favor of mostly e-scooters with a side of e-bikes. E-scooter company Spin, acquired by Ford in November, started out as a bike-sharing company but ended that business after expanding into scooters in early 2018. Ride-sharing company Lyft also launched a dockless e-scooter business in North America in September 2018, shortly after deciding to acquire Motivate, the largest bike-sharing operator in the U.S.
Mobike launched its bike service in Israel in 2018. According to official company data, it now has 91,000 registered users in the greater Tel Aviv area. While companies offering e-scooters, including Los Angeles-headquartered Bird, have seen robust traction in the local market, Gilboa said shared-bike services have also seen growth.

"Users combine different services. The more players enter the mobility sharing market, the larger the market will grow," he said.
As Mobike's local operator, Car2Go would "very much like to see" the company's e-sccoter piloted in Tel Aviv.

I've had an IPad for a while and find it to be a monumental distraction – mine's stuffed full of music, photos, games, books and various other apps. It's ease of use and quick start up make our netbook feel like a Commodore 64.
One thing I hadn't really tried out until recently were the photo editing apps. I knew there was a huge range of apps available for the IPhone and while I like the idea of being able to take a photo, edit it and upload it all on one small tool, that small size is limiting, and the phones are expensive (and until recently, the IPhone cameras weren't as good as my Nokia's is, and possibly still aren't).
However, I've downloaded a few apps and I've been tinkering with a few pictures. the results aren't bad, given their price of less than a fiver (bear in mind that photoshop costs about £500, and Elements is about £70). These apps have a decent range of functionality for their price, especially when used together.
The beauty of the package though is the portability. It's possible to download images off the camera onto the Ipad, process them and then upload or display them quickly. I know that this has been possible to do on a laptop for years, but the IPad takes it to a completely different level.
Ironically, the above image was taken back in 2005 using a film camera and the IPad hadn't even been thought about! I don't normally go for this kind of effect in post-processing, it was more of a what-if exercise to see what I could do.
What ipad app was this? I like the vintage look.
I used picgrunger initially, then filterstorm for a few additional tweaks afterwards.

Last month, 73 exceptional graduating seniors of Flushing High School received a special treat of having former-Flushing High School student and New York Giants defensive lineman Jason Bromley at their pre-graduation awards ceremony.
Jay Bromley, New York Giants defensemen, speaks to graduating students at Flushing High School last month.
The event celebrated at-risk high school seniors who worked hard to beat the odds of not being able to graduate on time. This was all thanks to the public-private partnership between a non-profit – Sports and Arts in Schools Foundation – and AT&T's Aspire grant program.
He continued to talk about some of his other projects involving FHS and how he hopes to help them the way FHS helped him.
Joining Bromley at the award ceremony was Councilman Peter Koo (D-Flushing), the leaders of the SASF and AT&T executives.
"I'm here to support this program and [to] also say thanks to the leadership of SASF and Flushing High School for doing this program in our community, giving kids a second chance because a lot of kids have problems [when it comes] to finishing high school, so when they know that these kids have problems in ninth grade, they give them mentorship and resources to help them, so that they can finish high school and either go to college or go to work," said Koo.
SASF was funded with a total of $600,000 by two grants from the AT&T Aspire national grant program over the past four years – between 2012 and 2016 – to design specialized after-school, summer and school vacation programs that help improve New York City's most challenged high schools, including FHS. SASF offers after-school tutoring and mentoring programs with educators who work closely with each student to mentor and support them.
Thanks to the initiative of AT&T Aspire, SASF was one of 47 non-profit groups in the nation and only one of two in NYC that was selected to take part in this initiative, which provided $10 million in funding for the 47 non-profit grant recipients. The goal is to increase high school graduations and attendance rates, as well as reducing behavior and disciplinary problems in schools across the nation.
SASF also makes it so that the students get a chance to learn outside of a classroom, offering trips to Broadway shows, NYC landmarks and universities and colleges to motivate the students to continue their education.
Out of the 73 students in that graduating class, 47 of them have been accepted to colleges and universities in NYC, New York State and around the country. Some of the colleges that these students were accepted to include, City University of NY John Jay College, State University of NY Binghamton, SUNY Buffalo, St. Augustine University in Raleigh, NC and St. John's University.
Two FHS students – Taj Meleeak Beckett and Priscilla Gilbert – spoke about their experiences being a part of the program. Beckett is a star FHS Red Devils football player, who helped to lead his team to victory in the Fall 2015 season. His plan is to attend Hudson Community College in September for a year and then move on to continuing his education at the University of Colorado, where he hopes to play football for the Buffalos.
Gilbert plans to attend St. Augustine College in the Fall on a full scholarship. She explained that the program helped her enjoy school more and she no longer felt like it was a place she needed to escape.
"They made me happy to go to class," she said.

Australia's .au Domain Administration (auDA) is calling on industry and key stakeholders to pitch on a raft of proposed changes to the management of the country's top level domain.
The independent self-regulatory body that oversees the operation and management framework of the .au domain issued a discussion paper on 25 January outlining the proposed reforms.
The paper comes several months after auDA first issued a call to stakeholders for their views over the proposal to open up direct registration, which will allow .au domain holders an option to jettison '.com' or equivalents if they choose.
Along with direct registration, other proposals outlined in the paper include allowing internationalised domain by permitting the use of non-ASCII characters, such as Arabic, Cyrillic, or Chinese language characters – in .au domains.
"We believe there is an untapped market for internationalised domain names given Australia's multicultural community and the increasing demand for Australian products and services overseas," auDA policy review panel chair, John Swinson, said.
"Giving Australian products the chance to be understood by their international customers in their own scripts, while simultaneously retaining the trust associated with the .au domain, could be a real boon to primary producers and other exporters,' he said.
Other proposed changes include strengthening public interest protections by restricting the use of certain domains in a bid to make it harder for scammers or cynical 'squatters' to take advantage of internet users.
Swinson said the reforms being proposed were of relevance to every Australian.
"We might not think about it often, but the .au domain range has become a vital piece of national infrastructure," Swinson said.
"We believe significant reforms to the .au domain, like the ones we are proposing, should be presented openly to the public for consideration. We encourage any interested Australian to come to the forums or to read and respond to the discussion paper online," he said.
The self-regulatory body called on industry feedback over its direct registration proposals in October last year, and first tabled the possibility much earlier.
In late 2015, the Australian Communications Consumer Action Network (ACCAN) wrote to the auDA board to voice concerns over the proposed direct registration changes to the Australian domain name system.
At the time, ACCAN claimed that Australia's current domain name system was highly regarded and had strong public recognition, and that the proposed changes could have adverse effects on small businesses that rely on their website and domain name to attract business if other parties register and use similar domain names.
The release of the latest issues paper comes after a tumultuous time for auDA, with Australia's Minister for Communications, Mitch Fifield, announcing a review of the management of the .au domain, with the Government releasing the proposed review's terms of reference in October last year.

Members of WildFlowerIndia [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/WilfFlowerIndia/] Group have posted the Best Wild Flower Photographs taken by them in 2008. So here the collection of those Best Flower Photographs of India.
My favourite and best wildflower shot of 2008 is the White Ground Glory Convolvulus microphyllus. This carpeted a stretch of land in Hauz Khas District Park and was trampeled upon by the walkers, oblivious to the delicate and tiny white flowers. But a closer scrutiny of this overlooked and stepped upon plant revealed its hidden glory-the white was actually a continuum of delicate pink and white shades! This picture captures for me that moment of wonder and discovery! And this beauty was set amongst the browns-of earth and decaying leaf and the green of the leaves! Such a delicate flower was literally at the feet of people! I have shared this picture earlier with the wildflower group and here it is again!
"Dipcadi saxorum, which is a wild flower endemic to Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) in Mumbai. This was taken during the monsoon season in July. A small rocky hill was practically dotted with these small upright, knee-high stalks bearing these small white flowers. Not having seen them in 2007 I decided to check what these are and was delighted to learn that I was able to see an endemic species."
Members of AmphibianIndia [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AmphibianIndia/] Group have posted the Best Amphibian Photographs taken by them in 2008. So here the collection of those Best Amphibian Photographs of India.
Ichthyophis species: The Legless Amphibian- a Caecilian from Vallakadavu range of Periyar Tiger Reserve, Kerala. "Striped Ichthyophis" (Per Com. Varad Giri).These amazing legless Amphibians always eluded me for long time and finally i got to see and photograph two species of them. Only 2 shots are taken of one individual with low flash intensity. These are very sensitive animals. We should always keep in mind that we should enjoy nature and wildlife by respecting it and by knowing what is our footprint.
Members of IndianMoths [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/IndianMoths/] Group have posted the Best Moth Photographs taken by them in 2008. So here the collection of those Best Moth Photographs of India.
Nyctemera coleta is a rare occurrence in South India, as per Peter Smetacek and Prof K Gunathilraj. Probably the first photographic record is by myself in November 2004 in Bhadra WLS. The next record is by Julie Valsarajan (Coorg, October 2008).
Imagine if you see this on a morning walk in Lalbagh Botanical Gardens (Bangalore)! It took me some time to recognize because it wouldn't settle, but I lost it immediately afterwards. I was searching for it, and explained to my 3-years old son Iravan what I am looking for. He is a good spotter at his age, and within 2 minutes he found it out for me again. His excitement "Papa there is the moth! There is moth!" set that guy to flight again, but this time I didn't lose my sight and finally could photograph the rarity!
A Catocalinae, Noctuid Moth that I found sitting out in the open during the monsoon season last year. Having recently taken up by the variety in moth species I was literally turning up leaves and poking in the monsoon foliage for moths. I didn't see a single one until our return, quite close to where our vehicle was parked. This is not as colourful as a day-flying moth but attractive enough for me!
UID moths, Both are from Periyar. After the data collection we use to sit outside in the porch and analyse the data. During this time many insects and especially moths use to get attracted towards the head torches. I took this photo at the same time. I like these two because of their colouration and high activity.
Here is my Photo of Argina argus Kollar,  taken in Bangalore in February 2008. The moth came to my home. It was attracted to the tube light outside house. It looked dull colored, but on being slightly disturbrd it splashed the bight colors of hing wings which were covered otherwise.
Members of DragonflyIndia [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DragonflyIndia/] Group have posted the Best Dragonfly and Damselfly Photographs taken by them in 2008. So here the collection of those Best Dragonfly and Damselfly Photographs of India.
I am attaching a picture taken in Trivandrum,which I hope is my best dragonfly pic of last year, just found him while in was sorting my archives.
Patterns in Nature, A microscopic View.... As we all know that most of the things that we see are made up of many small things. So in the same way the structures that we see in nature are also brilliant if we see them in detail. Here you can see a bit of detailed view of Wing structure of Stream Glory Damselfly (Neurobasis chinensis).
This beautiful damselfly from Periyar, Kerala. This Ruby is so amazing that the pattern on its abdomen looks as if the graphics are designed with a purpose. The flame like pattern with black, yellow and orange colours looks amazing. The wings, in sunlight looks as if they have Neon lights in them. Each part is just so attractive that I enjoyed a lot observing these beauties.
Yellow abdomen with black markings male showing territory behavior. This is looking like golden star shining in black sky. I love to watch this photograph.
Medium sized bluish black and yellow dragonfly with very fragile wing.
Metallic blue body and yellow base observed on thorax. I am feeling like this is like owner of the farm and watching green farm standing at one corner.
A small apple green and black damselfly and very beautiful you can see mating behavior of both these male and female.
Medium sized black damselfly with yellow markings. This butterfly was trapped inside the spider net and finally this escaped and just sits on my collection box and I took nice snapshot.
Very beautiful egg laying picture here female is doing contact guarding. It is very nice to watch the male female behavior. This species still not identified properly.
I had always wondered what do these large common club tail feed on. Here is a sequence of photographs depicting the club tail feeding on Wandering Glider (Pantala flavescens) dragonfly. Actually, this particular clubtail dragonfly killed the pantala by biting the pantala's neck after which it began eating its head, removing first its wings and tail before feasting on the thorax completely.
Looks like the other Pantala species perched on the same twig were not aware or perhaps appeared to be least bothered of the feast.
2. Other dragon flies on the same twig still not aware ?
Members of SpiderIndia Group have posted the Best Spider Photographs taken by them in 2008. So here the collection of those Best Spider Photographs of India.
The first one was found at Bindu/North Bengal. It is Signature Spider or Speckled Band Fourlegs.
This was found at Ailawng/Mizoram. I tried hard to shoot this because it was very restless. It is Crab Spider. But the name of sp. is not known to me.
The last one was shot at Suntaleykhola/North Bengal. I was lucky that when I shot this one, it grabbed a prey. I observed many Giant Wood Spider in that forest but this sp. was not found too many. It is Black wood Spider (Nephilia kuhlii).
Clicked in Yeoor (SGNP, Mumbai).
-White Lynx Spider, Oxyopes shweta, during the monsoon months in Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Mumbai. A very attractive spider!
-A Spitting Spider, Scytodes pallida, pouncing on a Harvestman, genus Opiliones, which is not a true spider despite its eight legs. This was photographed in Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Mumbai during the monsoon period.
This beautiful spider was found in an overgrown vacant plot in a residential colony in Gurgaon.
It was this iridiscent jewel which wanted to be left alone, but at the same time was also very curious. In order to know the new intervention-the camera, which it possibly perceived to be a threat, it climbed up the branch and to the highest leaf and showed its fangs and waved its pedipalps to scare away the perceived threat. And when that did not work, it jumped on my hand and walked over it and jumped right back to its leaf.
The Lady Bird Larva was neither the prey nor predator. It roamed all over and the Brown Lynx spider made way for it! It was pretty much amazing.
Well here are both of them sharing space on a African Daisy flowerbud!
This is my 3rd and final best photo for Spider photo of the year 2008.
This is an Ant Mimicking Spider found at a home and it was difficult to spot this amongst other ants. But this was very common too. It was found walking on the walls and amongst the potted plants, and inside home!
This is one of my best Spider photos of 2008. I had always wanted to get a clean shot of the Funnel Web Spider, but it always slipped in before me.
Finally, at Chinchoti waterfalls last November, waited patiently for this fellow to come out and got a shot of it.
Can sumbody pls identify the species for me . . .
Scorpion Spider : This one is from Periyar, Kerala. It looks like a flower petal and arranges itself in either vertical or horizontal hanging position. From this angle it looks as if it's enjoying his days resting in a Hammock !
Lichen Spider: This one is from Periyar,It was on a rock near a flowing stream.Saw this while sampling for fishes in second order streams and thought that it's some lichen. This one looks as some organism living in colder regions and hence developed fur !
Darkness had now come upon the Thattekad forest in Kerala and we retraced our steps quickly. We had walked some distance when we noticed an on-ground drama taking place – a solitary long legged spider wasp, iridescent blue/black in colour was buzzing and circling around a large spider. Seconds later the wasp dragged along the spider after having paralysed it! The spider may become a reproductive host for its offspring soon.
PS: I have read that there is a kind of tarantula wasp which feeds on tarantula spiders.
During our Narimale trek, after about 2.5 kms walk up the Bramhagiri hill range we found this beautiful spider in its designer cobweb.(A wood sign board near by mentioned MSL as 1195 meters) . The bright sun rays on the silk threads and the ellaborate dense web made it a very attractive sight. We saw the same handsome spider again while climbing down in the same place and safe.
A white crab spider feeds on a honey bee inside a Karvy flower in Yeoor region of Sanjay Gandhi National park, India.

Q: Add new screen resolution | BadMatch error |ubuntu 20.04 I am using ubuntu 20.04 on my desktop.

As well as being a big fan of Frankie Boyle and Stewart Lee, I also really like Omid Djalili (pronounced "Omeed Jaleelee"). Djalili describes himself as "the Les Dennis of the Middle East" and "the man who puts the fat into fatwa, the fun into fundamentalism and the ham into Hamas" (check out my About page for similarly crazy descriptions of myself).
He has also come up with such one-liners as "I am the only Iranian comedian in the world. Technically that's three more than Germany", "Keep the laughter coming, it helps with my asylum application", and "What do you call an honest Iranian businessman? Asif".
Very important learning point number seven — humility. Never mess about with the greats when it comes to being humorous. They're always going to be funnier than you.
But it was on that particular film set where something miraculous occurred. As we finished one day — and I'll never forget those immortal words, 'That's a wrap on Brad, Robert and Omid' — the three of us were led through a marketplace in Casablanca to our waiting cars. It had not gone unnoticed that The Mummy was showing several times that week on the local film channel. This was the most popular channel in the country, watched consistently by an audience of two million a day. People in Casablanca were beginning to recognise me, and I must admit this was thrilling, especially as I spent most of my free time roaming the streets (so yes, it happened a lot, I made sure of that).
Anyways, below is a clip of Omid in 2014 from the BBC's Live At The Apollo, along with a few choice quotes from that show. If you like this clip then there are also a few others that follow. Enjoy!

This Old Jeep, Part 2
Submitted by listener John Gamble
So last I wrote I had brought us up to about where I was with my Jeep 6 years ago. Since that writing, life threw me another curve-ball, and my father passed away at the end of October. He was 89. Being born in 1931 he missed out on World War 2, but had five older brothers. One served in the cavalry (honest to god horses at that time) prior to the war, and at least three during WW2. As to the other, I think he was a Marine, but, I have to look into that. My dad went to Korea... he said you don't know what cold is till you've wintered there.
What's that got to do with us? Damn good question. The ones that served in WW2 saw first hand what Jeeps could do. Uncle Howard was a lift operator on an LST, He and his shipmates dropped off Jeeps, Tanks, and Trucks on the shores of Africa, Italy, and Normandy (yes on D-Day as well as many other days). Uncle Jim was a frogman in the Pacific, His job was to clear mines and establish clear points for the beachhead before the main landings. About all I know about Uncle Ralph was he was a Marine and served in both WW2 Pacific, and Korea. So after WW2, surplus Jeeps had found a way back to the families homes. I know there were at least two at any given time, and my dad mentioned he learned how to drive in one when the brothers took him deer hunting in northern AZ. Dad didn't have much seat time wheeling, but uncle Howard sure did. I heard lots of stories about his deer hunting antics, his best friend and fellow service man who had the first Toyota dealership in Phoenix. He got in a bit of trouble when Toyota found out he was taking the factory carburetor off the new vehicles, and replacing them with Carters before selling them. He invited the executives out to see his facility. The two of them took the executives in new FJ40's out, the buddies in a modified, and Toyota executives in a stock one. They were to follow up a hill climb to show them how their carburetor would perform on an incline.
Howard at this point was big into Land Cruiser. After his friend with the dealership semi retired, this friend acquired a wrecking yard, and they used to build FJ40's out of wrecks. Many years later Uncle Howard found an obsession with Samurais, but he kept his favorite FJ40 around for its utility. Last time I saw him, he was living outside of Morristown AZ, and took me, my wife, and son, who was about 5, (now 27) for a little tour of the desert. It was wondrous to be with a guy in his late 60's in a vehicle about 40 years old, going up and down wash embankments with not even tire tracks marking where he wanted to go in the old Yota. That evening we sat on the porch of his house, he told me some of his memories of his time on ship, while in Italy, and of D-Day. He choked up on the memories of seeing the Normandy beaches in the days of the following week. He said we owe it to the boys that gave up their lives to preserve our freedom, to not piss our freedoms away with soft sentiment, and we owe it to them to enjoy every minute we can of our lives, because servicemen gave up theirs to ensure our freedoms. My Dad and his brothers faced the hard parts of life head-on, but also took the time to play hard as well. He took us boating, snow skiing, hunting, fishing, and camping. We spent a lot of time going places, like Yellowstone, Yosemite, Shasta & the Grand Tetons.
With the holidays upon us remember those who can't be with us at the dinner table, and enjoy the time which those that are with you today, as my dad used to say "life is too short to waste it with cheap wine." So take the time now to enjoy what you like with who you like, and maybe some family.

Engineering Project Experience | Eisenbach & Ruhnke providing cost-effective energy and environmental solutions, management near Utica New york, New Hartford, Rome, Madison, Herkimer, Syracuse, Cazenovia, Oneida, Little Falls NY.
Eisenbach & Ruhnke, P.C. designed, bid, contracted and supervised the environmental remediation and demolition of the former Biggs Memorial Hospital (200,000 square foot facility) located at the Cayuga Medial Center in Ithaca, NY. The design and remediation included abatement of over 4 miles of asbestos pipe insulation and 40,000 square feet floor tile, PCB remediation, X-Ray Room decommissioning and designing a landfill for onsite disposal of exempt construction and demolition debris.
E&R provided a cost effective means for demolishing the building with a non-friable, asbestos containing vapor barrier that was integral to the wall construction of building. This material was impossible to abate in-place and required to be included in the demolition. Under this procedure, all demolition debris (i.e. concrete and brick) would be required to be disposed of at a regulated landfill. The disposal cost of this alone would have been $1,600,000. Due to this impractical cost, and E&R's understanding of the regulations, E&R petitioned the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) to allow the facility to keep the concrete and brick with the asbestos containing vapor barrier and dispose of it on site as hard fill. The petitioned was approved and the building has been remediated, demolished and the site is ready for new construction.
ROSWELL PARK CANCER INSTITUTE - E&R was retained to provide full asbestos, environmental and demolition services in relation to the renovations of the hospital. The project is a five year $241,000,000 project and the asbestos abatement/demolition portion of the work is about $6 million. Our work includes a survey of approximately 1.2 million square feet of space in 16 buildings, preparing the design for the abatement of approximately 20 projects to accommodate the construction, and air/project monitoring for the project. Some phases of the abatement are being done in spaces where mechanical systems, including power and heat, are not shut down. Because of the nature and size of the effort, there is a construction manager, several architects and several state agencies involved in the project.
