* AUG 15, commercial products -- cellphones for lizards

reprise from 2020

AUG 15, commercial product: cellphones for lizards

 

Authors' Note:  The gecko, a non-threatening species of lizard imported accidentally into the United States (with range expanding in the last few decades), has entered the popular consciousness due to advertisements by GEICO (acronym for the Government Employees Insurance Co.) which feature a British-accented lizard, who gives advice on purchasing auto and other insurance.

   Voice-activated assistance (for humans) on Apple cellphones is provided by a persona known as ‘Siri’. As saurian is a synonym for reptilian, (and the suffix ‘-saur’ is well-known in regard to current and ancient lizard species), you won’t be surprised that we have developed an assistant named ‘Sauri’ for the high-tech gecko community.

AUG 12, at heart: hyperlipidemia

Authors' Note: Jealousy at the flight of birds has apparently resulted in expressions suggesting that human social responsibility is analogous to having one's wings clipped, or flying straight, as here.

Hyperlipemia (also known in America as hyperlipidemia), is a medical condition in which high blood levels of fats (lipids), particularly cholesterol, portend cardiac disease, including deadly heart attacks. Hyperlipemia is one of a number of such asymptomatic risk factors including hypertension and diabetes. Fortunately, change in lifestyle including diet and exercise, and judicious prescription of pharmaceutical drugs, such as statins, can reduce risk.

AUG 6, amphibians: early morning beach chorus (green tree frogs)

Today, we took an early excursion to the beach at Sullivan's Island; in the  marshy area just inland from the beach, the tree frogs were having a vociferous field day!

 And there's an older poetic post that deals with this cute little amphibian, often seen individually in your garden, as well as in swarms in marshy areas. Click HERE.

AUG 1, ballet at Toronto's Harbourfront: still photos

Here are the NBC dancers warming up.

A great venue,
 just lakeside of Toronto's renowned CN Tower! 

The programme, "Sharing the Stage"
included other innovative groups, like this West African-troupe.

Nearby, the Rogers' Dome (home of the BlueJays),
 lit up as evening comes on.
