Actually I may be mixing up two different species.

Also a good example of using yourself as a sun shade to help bring out the colors!

It is important to note… "Use of #antibacterial soap showed little added benefit compared with use of nonantibacterial #soap."
Take home: There is NO need to add antibacterial agents to soap for basic #InfectionControl at home or in public places. More important that that you "just DO it" [wash your hands] than choosing a brand/formula of soap.
…and...
"Hand hygiene is clearly effective against #gastrointestinal and, to a lesser extent, #respiratory infections."
Take home: This makes sense! #GI #infections are typically "fecal/oral" (I don't have to go into what that means!). The hands are the most likely route of infection. Wash them!
#Influenza can be transmitted by touching surfaces. #COVID19 less so. So again the above makes sense.
Hope this Helps!

I just did a partial search focusing on #HandWashing in the #community setting.
First thing to note is these articles are mostly indexed under #HandHygiene.
Next thing is there are many hits on various aspects on nursing and hospitals.
Filtering for the above I found several articles showing benefit, typical results…
"Meta-analyses to generate pooled rate ratios across interventions (N=30 studies). Improvements in hand hygiene resulted in reductions in gastrointestinal illness of 31% (95% confidence intervals [CI]=19%, 42%) and reductions in respiratory illness of 21% (95% CI=5%, 34%). The most beneficial intervention was hand-hygiene education with use of #nonantibacterial #soap. Use of antibacterial soap showed little added benefit compared with use of nonantibacterial soap. Hand hygiene is clearly effective against gastrointestinal and, to a lesser extent, respiratory infections." (2008)

The March of Folly -- Louis XIV vs Trump
I've reworked these extended quotations from #TheMarchofFolly by #BarbaraTuchman (1986) for today's wannabe "King" #Trump. Tuchman's words speak to greater truths. My words are my own and speak for more immediate truths in desperate times.
"A phenomenon noticeable throughout history regardless of place or period is the pursuit by governments of policies contrary to their own interests." --The March of Folly, Chapter 1

"Louis XIV is usually considered a master monarch, largely because people tend to accept a successfully dramatized self-estimation. In reality he exhausted France’s economic and human resources by his ceaseless wars and their cost in national debt, casualties, famine and disease…"
"Seen in that light, Louis XIV is the prince of policy pursued contrary to ultimate self-interest."

Donald Trump is usually considered a master businessman and politician, largely because people tend to accept a successfully dramatized self-estimation. In reality he is exhausting America's economic and human resources thru his illegal #wars, illegal #tariffs, increased national debt, famine (#SNAP, #Inflation), and disease (#Measles, #FoodSafety)…Seen in that light, Trump is the NEW prince of policy pursued contrary to ultimate self-interest.

#Everglades Trip -- Consider the #HorseshoeCrab... 🙂
#HorseshoeCrabs (Limulus polyphemus) evolved some 250 million years ago and they have no close living relatives. They are true #LivingFossils and generally fascinating.
First, they are not crabs—but remotely related to spiders.
They have nine eyes, two underneath near the legs.
They have twelve legs, including specializations for pushing, feeding, and mating (males).
They breathe and excrete using book gills just behind their legs.
And here's the best part: 👉 They chew with their knees!👈

For anyone interested in #ecology, specifically #FireEcology, here is a little #simulation I created several years ago...

It is also a good example of using a #hexagonal grid on a #web page.

Farmer‑poet Wendell Berry’s environmental ethics were deeply rooted in his Christian faith and belief in caring for creation
"The widely revered poet-farmer, who wrote passionately about rural American life and humans’ responsibility to care for the land, believed in practicing what he preached."

It really surprised me actually. For a website that appears to be about reality/facts--manipulating images of "things in the real world" with #AI seems a very poor choice.
That said, I'm very interested in "dual-benefit" #solar like solar-over-canal, solar-over-parking, and even solar-over-crops. Turns out many things benefit from a little shade. 🙂
