A day without laughter is a day wasted"...
A day without laughter is a day wasted" (Charlie Chaplin), I am a firm believer in this! I am healthy and work hard at staying fit and eating right but will not blink and say yes to a cigar and a glass of wine or a decadent meal. Live performances of all types are great fun. Las Vegas is a great get a way and there is never a bad time to pick up and go. At the same time, being home cooking entertaining is always fun. Love children and have a small brood of nieces and nephews that I can't get enough of them and try to spend time with them whenever I can. I love my work most when I'm allowed to create. It consumes me at times but it also gives me time to pursue other interests. Health and nature are pretty high on the list.I am always interested in new experiences and love to travel. I am looking for Laughter, a smile and a playful disregard for all the challenges life throws our way goes a long way. Someone who knows who they are and what they want. Smart is a huge plus and intelligence surfaces in many ways. I hope to find that one special person that ultimately leads to a long and happy relationship. Update: leaving my apartment in Redondo, at least for now. After 5 years, decided to move back to my house in Stevenson Ranch. The commute is the biggest challenge. Love my house, going to miss the beach.

Hi Phil
One practical way to solve your problem is to send a negative to a friend ,and have the negative printed to match in all five grades using the 0-5 filters.
You then on your enlarger match the prints and record the magenta or yellow settings you used to match the prints. This will give you starting points for filtration.
If you don't have anyone locally able to do this , you can send me the negative and I will make 5 prints for you.
As stated above this is a very basic method , but a way to get you in the ballpark for filtration starting points.

Tony Snell had 25 points, including a shot-clock-beating 3-pointer with a minute left that helped New Mexico complete an 86-81 comeback win over Davidson early Tuesday. De'Mon Brooks scored 22 points for the Wildcats (1-1), who led 50-36 early in the second half. The Lobos (1-0) got back into the game in part because of a dominating performance on the boards in the second half. After getting outrebounded in the first half, New Mexico held a 27-7 margin after the break. The Lobos also were strong from the line, outscoring the Wildcats 38-15. Davidson ran out to a 10-0 start and stretched its advantage to its largest, 27-11, midway through the first half. The Wildcats had five players in double figures, while Jake Cohen grabbed eight rebounds. New Mexico got 17 points from Kendall Williams and 14 from Alex Kirk, who also led the Lobos with seven rebounds.

Orange Uganda has introduced a new service, 'Internet for All', which will enable people to use the antenna to pick the 3G signal.
A person will just need to acquire an antenna plus an orange router and then be in a position to get Orange internet signal from within 30 kilometres of an Orange server.
Speaking at the launch of the Third Orange Expo at the Lugogo UMA grounds yesterday, Orange Uganda CEO Philippe Luxcey said: "At orange, our objective is to provide the best services and promote innovations. We aim at changing internet from being just a point of access but rather an experience for all Ugandans."
ICT Minister Ruhakana Rugunda, who officially opened the expo, congratulated Orange for always championing technological innovations in Uganda. "As government, our objective is connectivity for all Ugandans. With such a development by Orange, we believe that we are facing a similar direction," he said.
Rugunda also highlighted that the increase in connectivity will improve information flow as well as boost the education sector. He, therefore, urged other telecom companies to borrow a leaf from Orange.
Orange Money
Luxcey also announced entry into the lucrative mobile money business, with Orange Money.
"We have been proven as the best service providers in voice. We are introducing orange money service and we promise a 24-hour service without any breakdowns," he said.
Entrance to the Expo, on until November 18, is free; guests spending at least Shs 50,000 will win a chance to spin a wheel of prizes.

Well, it looks as though the roster is pretty much set. How do you guys see the 25 man shaking out? (and btw, I only "listed" the starting pitchers, they're not "numbered")

3B: Scott Rolen

CF: Drew Stubbs
RF: Jay Bruce
Bench: Devin Mesoraco
Bench: Ryan Ludwick
Bench: Juan Francisco
Bench: Miguel Cairo
Bench: Wilson Valdez
I guess it's remotely possible that they go with only 6 relievers, but doubtful. If they do, then it'll increase the bench to 6 players. In which case you'll see Todd Frazier added and Logan Ondrusek removed. But again, I highly doubt that happens.
Another possibility is that somebody beats out Logan for the 6th reliever slot. Now that I find very likely. Josh Judy, Andrew Brackman, Carlos Fisher, Jordan Smith, etc, etc. Just about anybody could step up in ST and swipe that spot. But they'd have to do VERY well IMO because I don't see the Reds booting anybody out of that bullpen unless they're blown away during ST.
So...what do YOU guys think?

39 year old woman | Lakewood Ranch, FL, USA | Seeking men 37-45 within 60 miles
Active within 24 hours
This life is sweeter than fiction
Hi there. I am moving to Lakewood Ranch from New York City after a brief stop in Orlando. I will be completely new to the Sarasota/Bradenton area, and I look forward to meeting new people to share this adventure with. Let's get to know each other. I am a firm believer in being the type of person who is willing to give up the good to go for the great. A year ago, I had a good life for myself in Jacksonville, but Jacksonville wasn't the right fit for me and living in NYC had always been on my bucket list. Therefore, I packed my bags and moved to New York City for six months. I refer to it as my Eat, Pray, Love period. I am sure a lot of you guys have heard of that book. Apparently, many women list it as the last book they have read on this site. Anyway, I am now back in Florida due to a job opportunity. I enjoy spending time with people who are honest and down to earth. Basically, someone who treats each person the same regardless of whether the other person has anything to offer them. My father was a member of the FDNY, and he is a real salt of the earth type of person. He raised me to be the same way. A few of my other philosophies: (1) a person who is nice to you but not nice to the waiter, is not a nice person; (2) when someone shows you who they are, you should believe them the first time; and (3) if a relationship doesn't make you a better person, then it is the wrong one. If we are on the same page, then I would love to hear from you. I am interested in meeting friends, as well as potential dates through this site. Oh, if you are a Florida Gator fan, then that is a definite plus. Can you also be funny? That would be great.

I have Dogs
I have a yellow lab named Finnley. I always try to be the person my dog thinks that I am. He is a yellow lab so naturally my happy boy automatically thinks that I am pretty awesome.
Middle of the Road
I am still learning my way around the area. However, my favorite travel spots are New York City and San Francisco. My goal is to go to a new city each year to broaden my travel horizons. I have a bad habit of always returning to the cities I love.
University of Florida, Gainesville, FL
My favorite TV show is The Following but I prefer the first season over the second. I also recently discovered Grey's Anatomy thanks to Netflix.
During my free time, I enjoy exploring local sites, spending time outdoors, and practicing yoga.

10 TV Shows to Fill the 'Breaking Bad'-Shaped Hole in Your Heart
Last night at 10:15 pm was the moment we'd all been dreading: the end of AMC's Breaking Bad. As we brace ourselves for life in a post-Breaking Bad world (much like Low Winter Sun, we imagine), our Sunday nights seem as lonely as the New Mexico desert. To cheer ourselves — and hopefully you, too — up, we took a temporary leave from mourning to recommend ten television shows that should help fill the Breaking Bad-shaped hole in your… Read More
A Brief Survey of Male Nudity in Television
CollegeHumor had a "boner" to pick earlier this week. A few funny ladies got together to discuss the lack of male nudity on television. In the short HBO Should Show Dongs, which we spotted on The Mary Sue, women argue for genital equality: "For every topless background extra, every actress that bears her bouncies but doesn't even get a line, every minute we have to sit through this dumb double standard, you owe us an inch of grade-A man meat." It's funny, because it's true.
We're currently experiencing an exciting shift in television, with shows like Breaking Bad and Mad Men changing public opinion about the boob tube and pushing the boundaries of small-screen storytelling. Are the standards for nudity changing along with it?

And if you're at a loss, your obliging Flavorwire editors have got you covered. After all, books are kind of like television, except better for you (sometimes). After the jump, a guide to what to read based on your all-time favorite TV shows (both current and past) — because fans of The Sopranos don't necessarily want to read the same book as fans of Buffy. Check out our suggestions after the jump, and add your own in the comments.

The Best and Worst Art Shows of 2013 So Far
It's hard to say if the art world has done an adequate job of responding to world events lately. 2013 has been marked by a crisis in Mali, a new pope, a marathon bombing, and a giant meteor landing in western Russia, and unless you count this series of dashboard photographs taken by drivers in Chelyabinsk, very few painters, video makers, sculptors, or performance artists have tried to reckon with any of this. It's enough to make you wonder if the world's most powerful artists and art institutions aren't also the most solipsistic. For better or for worse, a lot of the year's most anticipated exhibitions have been disconnected not only from current events but from history.

4 wins in a row. That just hit me.
4 wins in a row. That just hit me.
Wainwright has 1 win all season vs. teams above .500 (1-7). With the Cards playing a much tougher schedule this half he needs to pitch much better against the good teams.
A lot might depend if Garcia can come back from his shoulder issues.
Kelly has a poor K/W ratio and simply isn't misisng many bats. HIs BABIP will wear pretty thin soon I would guess. I also guess that his stuff will play up better as a reliever. If Garcia can send him to the bullpen if might be a double win for the Cards. Kelly just looks like a decent reliever to me. He could be like Lynn was last year out of the pen.
Lynn needs to be the Lynn of April/May and not the Lynn of June/July.
Right now the duo of Lohse/Westbrook are their two best starters.
The Cards starters aren't giving the bullpen the luxary of many innings theses days, so the back end of Salas, Marte, Browning, Scrabble and Cleto are getting exposed.
Chalk this one up as one that always seems to get forgotten--winning games you have no business winning. Two botched plays in the infield, leave the bases loaded twice in the late innings, score two runs on a dribbler to first...
Also, I was very surprised to see Dusty turn to Simon instead of trying to stubbornly squeeze one more inning out of Latos. That move is newsworthy. Was it the result of some stepping back from the day to day grind over the AS Break and noting some things, or just a blind squirrel moment?

The present invention relates to processing seismic data representing a physical system. Such processing may be used in data inversion and a particular example of this is the inversion of time-lapse seismic data.
Seismic reflection is a technique used to determine details of structures beneath the surface of the Earth. The resolution that may be achieved makes this technique the method of choice for oil exploration and mapping of subsurface rock structures. It is also applicable to experimental research that probes the fine structure within the Earth's crust and at the crust-mantle boundary.
The technique involves generating downward-propagating seismic waves in succession at a number of locations within the region being explored. A large number of receivers are positioned at intervals away from each source location and these receivers record the amplitudes (for example, in terms of pressure, displacement or its derivative) of seismic waves reflected back up to the surface from subsurface inhomogeneities over a period of time. The recorded waves are usually deconvolved, removing the effects of the source and receiver (which have their own response functions).
Reflection data typically have low amplitudes and are contaminated by multiple reflections and other kinds of noise. Various acquisition and processing techniques may be used to improve signal-to-noise ratios, such as averaging (stacking) of traces with the same midpoint, taking into account different distances between source and receiver, and discrimination of multiple reflections based on either their periodicity or wavefront angles which differ from the primary reflections. Further, the data may be correctly positioned in space by a process called migration, which moves dipping events into their correct position. When comparisons are made between two or more datasets over the same area, careful analysis between the amplitude, time and other attributes of the datasets may be made.
After the appropriate corrections, which may further include correction for other known environmental variables, the data are combined to provide a graphical representation of the subsurface inhomogeneities.
Seismic reflection data obtained by field experiments are then processed to obtain a three dimensional image of subsurface structures as described above. The three dimensions refer to the spatial dimensions "illuminated" by the seismic data. The vertical axis may represent depth or two-way vertical seismic wave travel time.
The amplitudes of reflected seismic waves are indicative of the subsurface reflection strengths, contaminated by noise. The reflection strength depends upon the reflection coefficient, which may be defined as a function of the relative contrasts of the elastic material properties of the subsurface layers.
The elastic properties of an isotropic, elastic medium are completely described by three parameters, for example the two elastic Lam� parameters and the density. Other parameterisations are possible, for example acoustic impedance, shear impedance and density. A third example is P-wave velocity, S-wave velocity, and density. The transformation between different sets of elastic parameters is well defined and straightforward.
In general, the elastic properties vary spatially. In order to explain the relationship between the elastic properties and the seismic data it may be convenient to imagine the subsurface as a stack of geological layers. The layer properties are described by the elastic properties of the rocks within the layers while the seismic data are related to the contrasts of the layer properties between successive layers. The seismic data are therefore suitable for interpreting subsurface layer structures since they image the boundaries between the layers.
Seismic inversion is defined herein as the process of transforming (inverting) seismic reflection data to elastic material properties, i.e. taking amplitudes (measurements of contrasts) and using them to infer physical layer properties. Numerous different seismic inversion techniques are known.
Over a period of time, certain types of rock, known as source rocks, will produce hydrocarbons. The produced hydrocarbons are then transferred to and stored in rocks known as reservoir rocks through various geological processes. During production of hydrocarbons in a subsurface region, the effective elastic material properties of the reservoir rocks change with production time, where production time is the fourth dimension in seismic 4D analysis. The changes of the effective elastic properties of the reservoir rocks may be caused by changes of the pore fluid saturations in the reservoir rocks, but also by pressure and temperature changes. Explained by a simple layer-based earth model concept, the properties of the reservoir layer are changed during production, implying changes in the reflectivity for the upper and lower reservoir interfaces. The measurements taken at a further seismic survey are related to the new contrasts at the boundaries between adjacent layers.
Reservoir changes are often inferred from a comparison of the seismic data (e.g. amplitudes of seismic waves reflected at interfaces bounding or within the reservoir) for different seismic surveys acquired at different stages of the production. A more direct interpretation can be based on difference data. Difference data are established by subtracting two time-separated seismic surveys covering a common part of the earth. The difference data, after the proper time-alignment during pre-processing, represent a spatial image of the changes of the relative contrasts between the two different acquisition times.
For a three dimensional seismic dataset, the classic inversion problem is to estimate the elastic material parameters from the three dimensional seismic data. A natural extension of 3D inversion to inversion of time-lapse seismic data (4D) is to invert the different 3D datasets separately by a known method, and then subtract the results to obtain the changes.
However, the reliability of 4D interpretations is difficult to assess, and are made by qualitative assessment. A full consideration of the uncertainties involved is important for making an accurate inference of the changes in the reservoir properties between the two seismic surveys. The results of such seismic analysis may be important in reservoir management in that the inferred reservoir properties are used to evaluate, for example, new drilling targets and future drainage strategies.
Seismic inversion provides quantitative estimates of the elastic reservoir properties. However, inversion of noisy seismic data is known to be a difficult and ill-posed procedure. An appropriate assessment of the uncertainties in 4D inversion data has not previously been possible.
Commercial time-lapse inversion techniques have become available, but only with brief descriptions of the methods. Some results have been published (Mesdag et al, 2003, Integrated AVO reservoir characterisation and time-lapse analysis of the Widuri field, 65th Mtg., Eur., Assn. Expl. Geophys., Extended Abstracts). Such methods apply separate inversions of the data with some constraint between the results, e.g. a common background model. The time-lapse change is then calculated from the change in inverted parameters. Sarkar et al, 2003, On the Inversion of time-lapse seismic data, 73rd Ann. Internat. Mtg.: Soc. Of Expl. Geophys., 1489-1492, mentions inversion of seismic differences, but provides no detail of the implementation. None of these inversion techniques provide uncertainty bounds on the results.
According to a first aspect of the invention, there is provided a method as defined in the appended claim 1.
Further aspects and embodiments of the invention are defined in the other appended claims.
It is thus possible to provide a technique which permits improved inversion of seismic data representing a physical system. Such a technique may be used to handle errors intrinsic to such data and can provide, for example, probability distributions or uncertainty bounds on the results of inversion.
For a better understanding of the present invention and in order to show how the same may be carried into effect, preferred embodiments of the invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
The embodiments of the present invention relate to a method of data inversion that operates directly on seismic difference data, and in particular to the difference between two sets of measured data representing a system in first and second states. In the embodiments described herein, the inversion method estimates the changes of the elastic material properties of a region of the Earth containing a hydrocarbon reservoir due to production or removal of hydrocarbons. The techniques can be based on both isotropic and anisotropic models, provided that the reflections may be expressed linearly. The inversion method gives estimates of the changes in the parameters of the model, in addition to the corresponding uncertainty. The solution is obtained by combining the information provided by difference data with knowledge obtained prior to inversion. The solution is therefore more robust and less vulnerable to instabilities. Working on difference data rather than inverting the measured data prior to taking the difference is advantageous with respect to uncertainty estimation in that it allows a correct quantitative statistical treatment of the uncertainties, eliminating the need for qualitative interpretation.
To assess the uncertainty of inversion results, the inversion process is cast in a statistical setting. The solution of an inverse problem is not limited to a single best-fitting set of model parameters, but also characterises the uncertainty of the inversion results. A Bayesian setting is chosen for the inversion, although other methods, e.g. least squares, can also be used to solve the inversion problem. In a Bayesian setting it is possible to combine available prior knowledge with the information contained in the measured data. The solution of a Bayesian inverse problem is represented by the posterior distribution, which addresses all questions of nonuniqueness and uncertainty. In particular, a Gaussian posterior distribution is completely characterised by a posterior expectation and a posterior covariance.
A model of the earth for the region under consideration is defined, characterised by parameters describing the elastic material properties. The embodiments of the present invention implement a forward modelling operator, the details of which shall now be described.
As described above, an isotropic elastic medium may be fully described using a set of three parameters. The embodiments described below adopt the P-wave velocity α(x, t), the S-wave velocity β(x, t) and the density ρ(x, t) as the parameterisation variables, where x is the lateral location and t is the two-way vertical seismic wave travel time. An alternative parameterisation which may be used takes the acoustic impedance ZP=αρ, the shear impedance ZS=β,ρ, and the density ρ as the parameterisation variables instead.
The weak contrast reflectivity function r for PP reflections can be written as
The techniques described herein are with reference to PP reflections, but the inversion is equally applicable to other types of reflection, including PS and SDS reflections, and in general to all linear expressions of reflectivity.
A model parameter vector m can be defined as
such that the reflectivity function given above may be defined by the dot product
A discrete representation of the reflectivity r in a given time window for a given set of reflection angles can then be written as a vector
where A(x) is a sparse matrix defined by a(x,t,θ) and m(x) is a discrete representation of the model parameters in location x.
The seismic data s can be represented by the convolutional model
Seismic data is obtained from the region under consideration on two separate occasions, shown at step 1 in the flow diagram of
The spatially distributed model parameters are represented on a grid covering the region under consideration, using a model parameter vector m containing a collection of the model parameters from a set of grid locations, such as those defined above in terms of the P and S-wave velocities and density. The model grid should cover the region of seismic data collection (the seismic grid), but the two do not need to entirely coincide. In most cases, however, coinciding grids would be a preferable choice. The embodiments described herein refer to coinciding grids. The step of defining a parameterised model is shown at step 3 of
A model parameter change vector is defined as the difference between the model parameter vector m2 corresponding to the repeat dataset and the model parameter vector m1 corresponding to the first dataset, that is δ=m2−m1, corresponding to step 4 of
The model parameter change vector δ may be defined (for constant x), using the parameterisation above, as
A linear relationship between the model parameter change vector and the seismic data difference vector can be written in matrix-vector notation as
The error term e is predominantly a consequence of seismic noise which may be characterized with an error expectation vector and an error covariance matrix Σe. The error expectation vector is here set to be a zero vector. The error covariance matrix Σe specifies the variance for each of the elements in the error term vector e, and the correlations between the different elements therein. The error covariance matrix can be estimated from the seismic difference data in regions not influenced by the production under consideration, which is not possible unless data are differenced. The error expectation and error covariance are determined prior to the inversion.
The knowledge and uncertainty about the model parameter change vector δ prior to the inversion are characterized via a model parameter change expectation vector μδ and a model parameter change covariance matrix Σδ. The model parameter change expectation vector and the model parameter change covariance matrix are specified prior to inversion, and can be determined by analysis of the effects of fluid substitution and pressure changes due to production. In regions not affected by production, the model parameter change expectation is zero (no change is expected). The model change parameter covariance matrix specifies the variance for each of the elements ln(α2/α1), ln(β2/β1), ln(ρ2/ρ1) in the model parameter change vector, and the correlations therebetween.
Explicit analytical expressions are calculated for a solution in which the prior model is combined with the information provided by the seismic difference data by forming a posterior distribution, shown at step 5 of
The statistical properties of the model parameters are assumed to be Gaussian, although any other statistical distribution, e.g. the Cauchy distribution, may be used. If each single parameter is assumed to be Gaussian defined by an expectation value and a variance, then the model parameter change vector δ is Gaussian, defined by the model parameter change expectation vector and the model parameter change covariance matrix:
The statistical properties of the noise are also assumed to be Gaussian. If each single seismic noise sample is assumed to be Gaussian defined by an expectation value and a variance, then a vector of noise samples is Gaussian defined by an error expectation vector and an error covariance matrix as described above:
These two distribution models therefore imply that the distribution for the seismic difference data is also Gaussian:
Suppressing the location parameter x, the joint distribution for the model parameter change vector δ and the seismic difference data vector d is then:
Under the described Gaussian assumptions for the prior model and the seismic noise, the solution is represented via the multi-Gaussian distribution:
The posterior expectation is an optimal estimator for δ calculated from the difference data d, such that
The posterior estimator {circumflex over (δ)} is an estimator for ln(α2/α1), ln(β2/β1) and ln(ρ2/ρ1). In the poststack case, given zero incidence reflections, {circumflex over (δ)} is an estimator for ln(ZP,2/ZP,1). Therefore {circumflex over (δ)} gives a quantitative estimate of the change in material properties, and the corresponding posterior covariance matrix gives its uncertainty. These two quantities may then be used to infer changes in production in the reservoir, and other related reservoir properties.
The method of the above embodiment will now be illustrated by way of example.
A reservoir model is defined by acoustic impedance models for the baseline and repeat seismic surveys, illustrated in
For each of the baseline and repeat models, a seismic forward modelling is performed by convolution. The wavelet is a Ricker wavelet with a 25 Hz centre frequency and normalised amplitude. The modelled results s1 and s2 are shown in
To test the inversion method, a stationary prior distribution is assumed, i.e.
The result of inversion of the difference data with a S/N ratio of 105 is shown in
The result of inversion of the difference data with a S/N ratio of 2 is shown in
The uncertainties of the inversion results at CDP 115 are shown in
Based on the uncertainty bounds of the inversion results, it is possible to provide quantitative probabilities of different reservoir states, e.g. drained, undrained, amount of vertical change of a hydrocarbon contact. The probabilities can be used in risk value estimation and commercial decisions. In this example,
The data inversion methods described above may be embodied in a program for controlling a computer to perform the inversion. The program may be stored on a storage medium, for example hard or floppy discs, CD or DVD-recordable media or flash memory storage products. The program may also be transmitted across a computer network, for example the Internet or a group of computers connected together in a LAN.

On a road trip through the desert pop star Helen (Jessica Morris) tries to reconnect with her twelve year old daughter Lilly (Oliviah Crawford) and repair a strained relationship. Helen's efforts are interrupted when their car hits a large bump in the road and she stops to find that she's killed a rattlesnake. Gingerly, she removes the creature from under the bumper not realizing she has killed a female snake in heat and that the mate has been following her scent and then slithers into Helen's car. As Helen continues to drive, she is suddenly bitten and crashes into a ditch, disabling the car. Stranded with no phone and little water, Helen and Lilly go on a desperate search for a doctor and safety. But they are relentlessly stalked through the desert by the revenge hungry serpents.

Summary: The eleven original essays presented here serve to enlarge the canvas upon which American history is to be portrayed so that it will allow-or more deliberately, give more prominence to-those groups at the bottom of colonial society to gain more equitable visibility. The effect is a striking view of the Revolution that provides not only a much-needed perspective on the role of minority groups in an era of social upheaval but also presents a panorama of such complexity and vitality that American history itself becomes more meaningful and more exciting than anything we have heretofore imagined. ...show more

On tonight's new episode of the CBS drama NCIS, entitled "You Better Watch Out," it's Christmas time and Tony DiNozzo can't decide if he'll be naughty or nice when his dad, Anthony DiNozzo, Sr., comes to town for a visit. Meanwhile, the NCIS team is "following the money" in order to solve a murder investigation, and Abby is bursting with excitement over all the holiday festivities, on NCIS, Tuesday, Dec. 18 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Robert Wagner ("Hart to Hart") reprises his role as Tony's father.
NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) is more than just an action drama. With liberal doses of humor, it's a show that focuses on the sometimes complex and always amusing dynamics of a team forced to work together in high-stress situations. NCIS Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs, a former Marine gunnery sergeant whose skills as an investigator are unmatched, leads this troupe of colorful personalities. Gibbs, a man of few words, only needs a look to explain it all. The team includes NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo, an ex-homicide detective whose instincts in the field are unparalleled and whose quick wit and humorous take on life make him a team favorite; former Mossad agent turned NCIS Special Agent Ziva David, perhaps the most dangerous member of the team, and NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee, an MIT graduate whose brilliance with computers far overshadows his insecurities in the field. Assisting the team is the youthful and energetic forensic specialist Abby Sciuto, a talented scientist whose sharp mind matches her Goth style and eclectic tastes, medical examiner Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard, who knows it all because he's seen it all - and he's not afraid to let you know it - and Ducky's protégé, Assistant Medical Examiner Jimmy Palmer. Overseeing the operations is NCIS Director Leon Vance, an intelligent, highly trained agent who can always be counted on to shake up the status quo. From murder and espionage to terrorism and stolen submarines, these special agents investigate all crimes with Navy or Marine Corps ties.

This taxon is Not Recognised as a species by BirdLife International.
Taxonomic source(s)
SACC. 2006. A classification of the bird species of South America. Available at: #http://www.museum.lsu.edu/~Remsen/SACCBaseline.html#.
Taxonomic note
Geotrygon purpurata and G. sapharina (del Hoyo and Collar 2014) were previously lumped as G. sapharina following Sibley and Monroe (1990, 1993)."
22-26 cm. Greyish dove with distinctive dorsal sapphire sheen. Green to purple mantle, sapphire rump, dark tail, brown wings with blackish tips. Greyish head with black chinstrap, with blue crown in north of its range and blackish crown in south. Underparts greyish. Voice A repeated, high-pitched ca-whoooo... ca-whoooo. Hints Tends to walk into denser cover rather than flying. Usually seen singly, or in well separated pairs.
Distribution and population
Geotrygon saphirina occurs in north-west South America (del Hoyo et al. 1997). Subspecies purpurata is found in Colombia, where it is uncommon (Restall et al. 2006). Its range extends south to north-west Ecuador; this taxon is rare in the country, as is the nominate subspecies saphirina, which ranges from east Ecuador to south-east Peru and extreme west Amazonian Brazil (del Hoyo et al. 1997, Restall et al. 2006). It is also thought likely to exist in south-east Colombia. Subspecies rothschildi is known only from Cadena in the Mareapata Valley, south-east Peru. The species is very locally distributed throughout its range (del Hoyo et al. 1997).
This is an undergrowth and forest floor species of lowland and montane evergreen forests, and advanced secondary growth. It generally occurs between 600-1,100 m. It probably feeds on seeds and small invertebrates (del Hoyo et al. 1997).
The primary threat to this species is accelerating deforestation in the Amazon basin as land is cleared for cattle ranching and soy production, facilitated by expansion of the road network (Soares-Filho et al. 2006, Bird et al. 2011). It is also susceptible to hunting (A. Lees in litt. 2011).
Conservation Actions Underway
None is known.
Conservation Actions ProposedExpand the protected area network to effectively protect IBAs. Effectively resource and manage existing and new protected areas, utilising emerging opportunities to finance protected area management with the joint aims of reducing carbon emissions and maximizing biodiversity conservation. Conservation on private lands, through expanding market pressures for sound land management and preventing forest clearance on lands unsuitable for agriculture, is also essential (Soares-Filho et al. 2006).
