Scrambling
Image by A.Davey
This Swallow-tailed Gull is clearly top-gun material, scrambling like mad in pursuit of an objective known only to it and perhaps whichever gull it was that set it off.
Note to Viewers: With this photo I am implementing my new rules for using scientific names in my photostream. I've been putting a lot of thought into this subject - at least a good ten minutes spread over about ten days.
Rather than pointlessly giving the species' scientific latin names every time I post a photo of an animal, henceforth I will give the scientific name one time and one time only: the very first time I post a feature photo of any given animal in my photostream. By that, I mean an image where the animal is photo's principal subject.
After that, you'll have to suck it up and deal with the common name, which is something all of these animals have, often in more than one living language. It's not like we're dealing with zooplankton here, is it?
After all, who really pays any attention to a latin name, especially outside the peer-reviewed pages of a scholarly publication or a publication with scholarly pretensions? Oh, I suppose I'd give a latin name more than once if the scientific community were embroiled in a huge controversy of how to classify an animal, a subject many of the rest of us might pay attention to if our cable subscription had been cut off and that paint we'd been watching just wasn't drying fast enough.
Let's face it, though: scientists and taxonomists have been through the Galapagos archipelago's flora and fauna with a fine-toothed comb more thoroughly than a mom whose kid gets sent home with a note about head lice. Even the newly-discovered species of Land Iguana wasn't really news: they'd always known they'd been there; it's just that the scientists were a tad slow on the uptake.
There may be some exceptions, such as when I can't remember whether I've yet posted a definitive image of an animal or plant with the species' scientific name, or every time the scientific name happens to be Graspus graspus which I think is a hilarious scientific name for a crab, period.
Call me a Philistine or call me a cab; just don't expect me to go on displaying false scholarship and erudition by flashing latin (not latino) gang signs at you every time I show you an animal. All it does is prove I can cut and paste from Wikipedia and use the HTML codes for italicizing text.
Sorry Mr. Swallow-taied Gull (Redacto redactus), but someone had to be first. Don't take it personally: its only flickr business.
I still haven't decided whether I will use the scientific name as a tag. I think not. Any scientist who's using flickr as a research database by using latin names as search terms is probably way off in left field (my position of choice back in grade school softball) to begin with, and there's no point in encouraging that sort of scholarly malpractice, is there.

Around here, Canada geese are somewhat reviled, because their droppings cover golf courses, lawns, and sidewalks in certain areas. Great Meadows, however, is their natural habitat, and humans are the intruders. I went and sat quietly as some geese approached, and after a while they ignored me and just went about their business, which at that point was eating. They are lovely birds, who travel in pairs at this time of year.

Bing: Fürchtet sich Google vor der Microsoft-Suche? 15.06.2009
Angeblich hat Sergey Brin, einer der Google-Gründer, sehr viel Respekt vor Microsofts neuer Suchmaschine und deren Erfolg in den ersten Tagen seit ihrem Launch. Laut Informationen der New York Post hat Brin deshalb ein Team zusammengestellt, das den Such-Algorithmus von Bing analysieren soll.
"In den letzten zehn Jahren sind viele Suchmaschinen gekommen und wieder verschwunden, aber Bing scheint Sergey besonders zu interessieren", zitiert die Zeitung einen Insider. Es sei außergewöhnlich, dass sich einer der beiden Gründer noch in das Tagesgeschäft einmische, ergänzte der anonyme Google-Mitarbeiter zudem.
Offiziell will Google zu den Vorgängen keine Stellung beziehen - auf Anfrage hieß es lediglich, dass der Google-Algorithmus schon seit jeher die meiste Aufmerksamkeit der Mitarbeiter erhalte und ständig weiterentwickelt werde.
Microsoft hat Bing Anfang des Monats, begleitet von einer rund 100 Millionen Dollar teuren Werbekampagne, gestartet und konnte in den USA bereits nach fünf Tagen einen Marktanteil von 13 Prozent vorweisen. Googles Marktanteil schrumpfte zeitgleich um rund fünf Prozent. (cel)
Yahoo wird Bing (Suchmaschinen-Deal perfekt) 29.07.2009
Lange wurde zwischen Microsoft und Yahoo verhandelt. Erst hieß es, dass Microsoft Yahoo kaufen würde, dann war von einem Scheitern der Gespräche die Rede und schließlich vermeldete die Gerüchte-Küche, dass beide Unternehmen bei der Web-Suche kooperieren wollen. Diese Variante hat sich nun bewahrheiten - die Yahoo-Suche ist künftig "powered by Bing".
In einer gemeinsamen Presse-Erklärung erläuterten die beiden IT-Großunternehmen am Mittwoch Mittag den Deal: Der kriselnde Internet-Pionier Yahoo zieht sich de facto vollständig aus dem Such-Geschäft zurück und verwendet statt eigener Entwicklungen und Algorithmen künftig ausschließlich Microsofts Such-Technologien. Die Yahoo-Suche wird dadurch zu einem Ableger von Microsofts erst vor wenigen Monaten sehr erfolgreich gestarteter neuen Suchmaschine Bing.
Zudem wird Yahoo der exklusive Vermarkter aller Such-Angebote der beiden Partner-Unternehmen. Die daraus resultierenden Werbe-Umsätze gehen als Teil der Vereinbarung in den ersten fünf Jahren zu 88 Prozent an Yahoo - als Kompensation für den an Microsoft abgetretenen Such-Traffic.
All diese Veränderungen sollen, die Zustimmung der Kartell-Behörden vorausgesetzt, innerhalb von 24 Monaten umgesetzt werden und zunächst für zehn Jahre gelten - gemessen an der Schnell-Lebigkeit des Internets fast eine Ewigkeit. Yahoo geht davon aus, dass im eigenen Unternehmen durch die Kooperation jährlich rund 200 Millionen Dollar eingespart und etwa 500 Millionen Dollar zusätzlicher Umsatz erwirtschaftet werden können.
Beide Konzerne machten keinen Hehl daraus, dass sich diese Kooperation speziell gegen das Unternehmen richtet, "das mehr als 70 Prozent aller Suchanfragen dominiert". Und dieses Unternehmen, Google, dürfte die Auswirkungen der Zusammenarbeit tatsächlich deutlich zu spüren bekommen: Microsoft baut durch die Übernahme der Yahoo-Suche seinen Marktanteil für Bing entscheidend aus und Yahoo wird neben Google zur zweiten Marktmacht im Geschäft mit Online-Werbung. (cel)
Umfrage: Ist Bing ein echter Google-Konkurrent? 06.12.2009
Bing vs. Google: Suchmaschinen-Krieg oder Sturm im Wasserglas? Die Microsoft Suchmaschine Bing erkämpft sich still und leise immer mehr Boden auf dem von Google dominierten Feld. Bing vervierfachte seine Nutzerzahl in Deutschland binnen eines Quartals von 0,5 Prozent Marktanteil auf 2,12 Prozent und überholte damit Yahoo. International kommt Bing inzwischen sogar auf einen Anteil von 10 Prozent.
Nächstes Jahr wollen die beiden bisherigen Konkurrenten sogar gemeinsame Sache machen und die Bing-Suche in die Yahoo-Website integrieren. Zudem erweiterte Bing sein Angebot gerade um eine weitere Funktion: Bing Maps. Ein Schelm, wer da an Google Maps denkt.
Doch helfen all diese Schritte, um den nach wie vor riesigen Vorsprung des Suchmaschinen-Primus zu verringern oder wird Bing weiterhin nur eine Randerscheinung neben Google bleiben?
Suchmaschinen: Bing überholt Yahoo 15.09.2010
Microsofts Suchmaschine Bing hat den Rivalen Yahoo in den USA als zweitbeliebteste Suchmaschine abgelöst. Nach der neuen Statistik von Nielsen verbuchte Bing im Monat August einen Marktanteil von 13,9 Prozent, Yahoo fiel von 14,6 auf 13,1 Prozent. Marktführer bleibt Google, der seinen Marktanteil von 64,2 Prozent im Vormonat sogar leicht steigern konnte auf 65 Prozent.
Allerdings kommt die Ablösung wenig überraschend. Die beiden Unternehmen hatten Ende Juli eine weitreichende Kooperation vereinbart. Demnach sollte Yahoo die eigene Suche praktisch durch Bing ersetzen. Die Integration ist in den USA und Kanada Ende August vollzogen worden, in allen anderen Ländern soll sie im Laufe dieses Jahres noch abgeschlossen werden.
Ob die Vereinbarung tatsächlich die im Sommer vereinbarten zehn Jahre hält oder sogar überdauert, wird sich noch zeigen. Yahoo hat sich die Möglichkeit vorbehalten sich wieder zurückzuziehen, sollte der Marktanteil der gemeinsamen Suche eine bestimmte Prozentzahl im Vergleich zu Google nicht erreichen. (mo)

Quoting Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum | Monocoupe 110 Special:
Air show pilot and aerobatic champion W. W. "Woody" Edmondson thrilled audiences with his Monocoupe 110 Special throughout the 1940s. Edmondson, who named the airplane Little Butch for its bulldog-like appearance, placed second to "Bevo" Howard and his Bücker Jungmeister in the 1946 and '47 American Aerobatic Championships, but he won the first International Aerobatic Championship in 1948.
The Monocoupe 110 Special was a clipped-wing version of the 110, part of a line that began with Don Luscombe's Mono 22 and continued with the 70, 90, and 110 models. The sport coupes of the 1930s, these fast and maneuverable aircraft were ideal for racers Phoebe Omlie and Johnny Livingston. Ken Hyde of Warrenton, Virginia, restored Little Butch prior to its donation to the Smithsonian.

Quoting Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum | De Havilland-Canada DHC-1A Chipmunk, Pennzoil Special:
De Havilland originally designed the Chipmunk after World War II as a primary trainer to replace the venerable Tiger Moth. Among the tens of thousands of pilots who trained in or flew the Chipmunk for pleasure was veteran aerobatic and movie pilot Art Scholl. He flew his Pennzoil Special at air shows throughout the 1970s and early '80s, thrilling audiences with his skill and showmanship and proving that the design was a top-notch aerobatic aircraft.
Art Scholl purchased the DHC-1A in 1968. He modified it to a single-seat airplane with a shorter wingspan and larger vertical fin and rudder, and made other changes to improve its performance. Scholl was a three-time member of the U.S. Aerobatic Team, an air racer, and a movie and television stunt pilot. At air shows, he often flew with his dog Aileron on his shoulder or taxied with him standing on the wing.

Quoting Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum | Press Release: National Air and Space Museum Receives Boeing S-307 Stratoliner for Display at Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, the Museum's New Companion Facility at Dulles Airport:
The Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum welcomed today (Aug. 6) the sole surviving Boeing S-307 Stratoliner to its new home when the silver pioneering airliner arrived at Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia for display at the museum's new Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. The museum's companion facility, adjacent to the airport, opens to the public Dec. 15.
The luxuriously appointed Stratoliner, built in the late 1930s, was the world's first passenger airplane to be pressurized, allowing it to avoid rough weather by flying at unprecedented altitudes (20,000 feet) for transports of the era.
The airplane has been in the museum's collection since 1972 but because of its size and weight could not be displayed at the museum's flagship building on the National Mall. A team of volunteers and Boeing staff performed extensive restoration work on the airplane in Seattle.
"Visitors to the Udvar-Hazy Center will take one look at this airplane and be transported back to a glamorous age when the world became smaller for the traveler who required speed and luxury," said Gen. J.R. "Jack" Dailey, director of the National Air and Space Museum. "We are indebted to the Boeing restoration team for turning back the clock on this beautiful aircraft."
The Stratoliner arrived in Northern Virginia following an appearance at the Experimental Aircraft Association's annual Fly-In at Oshkosh, Wisc. The airplane flew from Allegheny County Airport near Pittsburgh, where it landed August 5th because of bad weather.
With a wingspan of 107 feet and a cabin nearly 12 feet wide, the Clipper Flying Cloud will be exhibited at ground level in the Udvar-Hazy (pronounced OOD-var HAH-zee) Center aviation hangar.
[...]
The Clipper Flying Cloud was delivered to Pan American Airways with two others in 1940. The aircraft carried 33 passengers and a crew of five. The Pan American Airways airplane was reconfigured to seat 45 passengers. Stratoliners included space for berths for overnight travel; paneling in the cabin and lavatory; wall fabric featuring the Pan Am logo, world map and exotic animals; and eight divans.
The Clipper Flying Cloud began service flying Caribbean routes for two years. During World War II, it flew in South America under the direction of the U.S. Army Air Forces. In 1946, it made daily runs between New York and Bermuda. Throughout the next two decades it passed through the hands of several owners, and once served as a presidential plane for the notorious Haitian leader "Papa Doc" Duvalier. After its Haitian sojourn, the Clipper Flying Cloud landed in Arizona.
In 1969, a visiting National Air and Space Museum curator spotted the airplane in Arizona and immediately recognized its historic significance, even while its then-owner planned to convert it into a fire bomber. The Smithsonian subsequently acquired the aircraft and later made arrangements with the Boeing Company for the restoration, dubbed "Operation Flying Cloud," at the Seattle plant where the Stratoliner was originally built.
Boeing technicians and former Pan American employees voluntarily spent six years completely restoring the Stratoliner before it made an emergency landing in Elliott Bay in 2002. Since then, the restoration team has performed additional work so that visitors to the Udvar-Hazy Center will have the opportunity to view the aircraft as it looked the day it rolled off the assembly line more than 60 years ago.

Quoting Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum | Concorde, Fox Alpha, Air France:
The first supersonic airliner to enter service, the Concorde flew thousands of passengers across the Atlantic at twice the speed of sound for over 25 years. Designed and built by Aérospatiale of France and the British Aviation Corporation, the graceful Concorde was a stunning technological achievement that could not overcome serious economic problems.
In 1976 Air France and British Airways jointly inaugurated Concorde service to destinations around the globe. Carrying up to 100 passengers in great comfort, the Concorde catered to first class passengers for whom speed was critical. It could cross the Atlantic in fewer than four hours - half the time of a conventional jet airliner. However its high operating costs resulted in very high fares that limited the number of passengers who could afford to fly it. These problems and a shrinking market eventually forced the reduction of service until all Concordes were retired in 2003.
In 1989, Air France signed a letter of agreement to donate a Concorde to the National Air and Space Museum upon the aircraft's retirement. On June 12, 2003, Air France honored that agreement, donating Concorde F-BVFA to the Museum upon the completion of its last flight. This aircraft was the first Air France Concorde to open service to Rio de Janeiro, Washington, D.C., and New York and had flown 17,824 hours.

A friend of mine showed me a picture of a Palestinian boy she is sponsoring. His father was killed by the Israeli forces before he was born by a few days. His mother now has to take care of him and his other siblings, and the situation there is only worsening. This is the state of many families in Palestine.
I am writing this because I was like everyone else. What I heard of the Arab-Israeli conflict was what I saw through the media. Both sides were equally to blame- only I probably saw the Palestenians’ suffering more because I was exposed to both Arab and Western media. I started looking over some UN documents online, talking to different people and saw that the reality is very, very different to what I saw on my screen at home. The real wake up call came when my Portuguese friend took the initiative and went to Palestine. This is what he had to say:
++++++“I think it's my duty to report on the awful situation one finds in Palestine.
It has been a very intense experience in the last 2 weeks not the least that two brothers were shot in my street by the criminal troops without a single headline in the western media.
Anyway, despite the degrading situation it is overwhelming to see the immense hospitality of the Palestinian people. They are just amazing people and they are always smiling. If I don't ask they do not complain. It made me feel bad that I dare to complain about the weather in the UK whereas they face appaling abuses by the oppressors with a lot of pacience. It is really something we should take as an example.
Starting with their day to day lives. The Palestinians are by and large peaceful. They just want to get on with their normal lives and with their businesses. However this is impossivel. For a start I cannot stand the troops and I do have to contain myself when I am approached with all of their arrogance. They get tamed when they see my passport but the same does not happen with the Palestinians.
They are constantly provoquing them, (we treat dogs in Europe better). All the provocations are with the objective of making their lives miserable and either hoping for a violent reaction or drive people off the country. I call this a genocide sponsored by the west.
In Jerusalem for instance the israelis sponsor Haxixe and other hard drugs for the Palestinians. So it's heart breaking to see the dependency on drugs in the old city - they get it for free! Everyone knows what israel is doing but no one, including the media dares to say anything.
Everytime I cross the wall of hate, there wasn't a time that the Palestinians weren't hold back by the troops for hours, I try to complain but with no avail.
The settlement expansion is also worrying. The Palestinians can't build but the settlements are ever growing.
They [the Palestinians are] always speak about Allah and one thing I've notice which is unique, they value knowledge, all types of knowledge. They are highly educated, always studying, reading a lot. They are not narrow minded at all, and very aware of society at large.
Ramallah is a buzzing town and Al-Aqsa, no words to describe. Unfortunately even the access to Al-Aqsa is limited. The Apartheid policies only allows for the people with a blue ID to get in. Thanks to God I've been spending time there too.
Please pray that everthing goes well and do pray for the Palestinians.
Remember, trust God but also tie in your camel at night. Pray but we need to start doing something.
Missing you all

This is not a Muslim problem; it is not an Arab problem; it is a humanitarian crisis. We all need to wake up and look past the mainstream media and start searching for answers ourselves. The lands are not called “Occupied Territories” for nothing. If you believe I am biased, then don’t take my word for it; just view the UN documents on it.
For example:
“The building of settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory began soon after the 1967 War. That policy has accelerated since the beginning of 1990. The Israeli Government encourages settlers to make their homes in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including Jerusalem. The establishment of Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory has been the subject of various resolutions of the Security Council and the General Assembly. For example, in its resolution 446 (1979) the Security Council determined that the Israeli policy and practice of establishing settlements had no legal validity and constituted a serious obstruction to achieving a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in the Middle East. That position was reaffirmed in Security Council resolution 465 (1980) which determined that Israel's policy and practices of settling parts of its population and new immigrants in the Palestinian and other Arab territories occupied since 1967, including Jerusalem, constitute a flagrant violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention. The Tenth Emergency Special Session of the General Assembly in February 1999 recommended in an overwhelmingly adopted resolution the convening of a conference of the High Contracting Parties to the Fourth Geneva Convention to enforce the Convention in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including Jerusalem, and to ensure its respect in accordance with common article 1.” www.un.org/Depts/dpa/qpalnew/glossarycollapsible.htm
