Climate not a priority for public
Posted on 08 Mar 17 08 Mar 17 by Paul MatthewsIn Uncategorized1 Minute Read
A new survey is out today, European Perceptions of Climate Change (EPCC), on public opinion in the UK, France, Germany and Norway. It's being talked about at an echo chamber conference, see the twitter tag #EPCC17. It's also discussed in the Guardian. The authors include some of the 'usual suspects', Nick Pidgeon and Adam Corner. The polling was done by Mori, using mostly face-to-face interviews, in June 2016.
From the sceptical perspective, there were two particularly interesting points. Firstly, the survey showed, as many previous ones have found, that climate isn't a top concern for most people, especially in the UK. When asked, unprompted, what the most important issue was over the next 20 years, climate change ranked 13th on the list, though it did rather better in the other countries polled:
The consensus story also took a hammering in this poll. Only 30% of people in the UK think that at least 80% of scientists agreed that climate change is happening and largely caused by humans:
According to Carbon Brief, Prof Pidgeon is "quite surprised" by this.
Among the other findings, most people are at least fairly worried about climate change, though in the UK we are not so concerned as people in the other countries. On causes, more people went for partly natural and partly human than chose mainly caused by humans. The survey also covered policy issues such as energy sources, subsidies and rising energy costs, and support for the Paris agreement (high in Norway, more lukewarm in the UK).

This is the academic equivalent of 'are we there yet? Are we there yet?'
The New Scientist has an odd take on the paper, telling us that 97% of climate scientists agree that more than 100% of climate change over the past 100 years has been man made.

Hilary Ostrov (aka hro001) says:
Oh, how unconscionable of them to release such "alarming" results on this day of all days. We should all be focussed on the dreadful plight of women of the world, many of whose future – according to UN-ocrats – depends inter alia on building more windmills and solar panels. Not to mention other "innovative", "transformative" and "sustainable" solutions, such as bankrupting their countries' respective economies.
Surely what the world needs now is more platitudes, more slogans, more marches, more hashtags, more twitter-storms, more selfies and – of course – more placards and more $$ to the UN maze and/or its ever-increasing army of NGOs, the latter of which constitutes the only genuine hockey-stick the UN has ever produced.
Seriously, though … I cannot say that these results are in the least surprising. Nor are they likely to be to either the UN or to its sister-in-arms, the EU.
Even as we type, the IPCC's younger sibling the IPBES (Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services) is continuing to lay the groundwork for "sustainable development" ascendancy as it absorbs "climate change" lip service:
In his keynote speech, UNFCCC Deputy Executive Secretary Richard Kinley urged both the climate change and biodiversity communities to focus on positive synergies to enhance "our" work. He suggested fully integrating the climate and biodiversity agendas with the implementation of the SDGs [Sustainable Development Goals -hro] in national economic development and investment plans. He noted that the IPBES' global assessment "can be an important input" for the next round of nationally determined contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement. [my bold -hro]
Amazing, eh?!
Geoff Chambers says:
The New Scientist article mentioned by Tiny CO2, by one Michael le Page, is a classic. I wrote a comment, then found there are no comments, so here it is. Only the pronouns have been changed.
As reference supporting the statement that ".. more than 100 per cent of the warming over the past century is due to human actions" le Page gives a link to – his own article.
As reference supporting his statement that "more than 90 per cent of scientists agree climate change is happening and is largely due to people" he gives a blog article by John Cook citing a meta-study by John Cook which is in turn based on a number of other articles, by, among others, John Cook. John Cook's original article didn't ask any scientists what they thought, and is therefore not evidence for his assertion.
As reference supporting his statement that there has been a "long-running misinformation campaign funded by fossil fuel interests" he cites a review of a book by scientist Michael Mann, "The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars" in which this well-known climate scientist and litigation expert claims that he has been persecuted by critics funded by fossil fuel interests.
Adam Corner's Climate Outreach government-funded blog (can't you sense the envy in that phrase?) http://climateoutreach.org/resources/european-perceptions-results/ has a report, naturally, which begins:
Evidence of clear public support for action on climate change is critical to create the political will for a shift to a low carbon society – and that is just what this major new European survey provides.
The article is headed: "You want evidence of clear public support for action on climate change? Keep subsidising us, and that's what you'll get." (No, not really.)

The reassuring thing about findings like these is that there has been no mass conversion to the storyline pushed by supine and activist mass media such as the BBC, and sundry other bentleft outfits. Of course, that reinforces their low opinion of 'the rest of us', including of course their despised voters for Brexit.
More good news on the Brexit front: http://www.thegwpf.com/brexit-could-derail-eu-attempts-to-fight-climate-change-meps-warn/
'European Carbon Trading Scheme (ETS) could lose £1.7bn worth of UK funding once Britain exits the trade bloc.
The United Kingdom is committed to providing almost €2bn (£1.7bn) worth of funding for the scheme, without which it is not yet clear how the system will survive.'
"The UK is one of the major contributors to this fund and after it leaves the finance for this fund will not be there," Mr Duncan told The Independent.
"Without it, there is a serious risk not only that the ETS stops functioning post-Brexit, but that the EU loses support for its climate change targets altogether. With Donald Trump in the White House, the consequences of this could be disastrous for global efforts to tackle climate change."
So, long may we the public have freedom to form our own opinions, and indeed to have the vote, without which we would not have the promise of Brexit to come, and of Trump in the present.. Meanwhile, in a deep dark corner of Wales, new scheming is no doubt underway to condemn our opinions as WrongThink and get them changed. But maybe the bright doves of free thought will not be cowed by the dismal pigeons squawking and pleading in the public square, and even in the once nobler groves of academe.
In the Guardian, Damien seems to be reading a different survey
The citizens of four major European countries think the impacts of climate change such as severe floods and storms are already affecting them, according to a major new polling study.
The research dispels the idea that global warming is widely seen as a future problem, and also shows strong support for action to tackle global warming, including subsidies for clean energy and big financial penalties for nations that refuse to be part of the international climate deal signed in Paris in 2015 – as US president Donald Trump has threatened. There was also strong support for giving financial aid to developing nations to cope with the impacts of climate change.
And spot the rather pathetic attempt at consensus enforcement :
Overwhelming majorities of people in the UK, Germany, France and Norway said climate change was at least partly caused by human activities, such as burning fossil fuels. But only a third thought the vast majority of scientists agreed with this, despite about 97% of climate scientists doing so.
I can well believe that climate change is not a high priority for the public. I think it would be even further down such lists were there better sharing of information about the subject. Not information from vested interests and their hangers-on, but information from critically-minded independent thinkers and analysts.
Then one day, and may it be soon, we can hope to see an end to such as the UK's Climate Change Act and other instruments imposing impetuous targets on carbon dioxide releases. These provide a route for the hampering of what look like highly desirable developments such as a new coal-fired power station in South Africa.

Barry Woods says:
LOL – Dr Adam
" Prince Charles' Ladybird book is a climate communications masterpiece "
http://www.climatechangenews.com/2017/03/10/prince-charles-lady-bird-book-climate-communications-masterpiece/
"One book won't catapult climate change out of the green margins and into the middle-England mainstream. But with 6500 copies sold (and counting), this is a book on climate change that might just reach the elusive 'unusual suspects'.
Presenting the story of climate change – the science, the consequences and most importantly our options for responding to it – in a way that doesn't ruffle the feathers of the notoriously sceptical right-leaning UK press is certainly a major step in the right direction." – Adam Corner
For a psychologist he really is delusional..
like the time, when he said they were surprised that their research into climate visuals showed picture of activists on marches alienated the public (across the political spectrum). And In particular a photo of a climate activist painted blue on the wave march (climate before cop 15, in London) really alienated the public… he was surprised by this, and then actually also said, I think I was on the same march (he was… also painted blue!!! )
Barry I've come to the conclusion that this sort of person truly thinks a different way to the rest of us (including what facts mean if he thinks 6500 books sold is impressive or influential). For a person who finds it impossible to put themselves in another's shoes, it's bemusing he chose psychology as a field.
Alan Kendall says:
How many copies of "A Short History of Time" were sold, how many were read to the end, and how many readers understood what had been written? His Royal Chas-ship has a long way to go. Sales can be misleading.
Alan, I read the brief history all the way through but, after chapter 1, I had the impression that Hawking was a gunslinger entering a gunfight with a toothpick. He was revisiting a philosophical debate that has been going on for about 2000 years but without any knowledge of St Augustine or any other intellectual heavyweights who have trod this ground. The science bits were interesting. But his attempts to draw significance from them were odd, maybe embarrassing. He seemed to be saying that everything is indeterminate, which is not the liveliest of messages. I imagine his publishers hoped that people would buy Hawking and not read the book.
Vinny Burgoo says:
Brief.
(But I totally agree. Lots bought, few read. There's a first edition out there somewhere with a cigarette paper stuck to a page about half way through saying 'Ring this number if you have read this far'. Did I ever get a call? (Though to be honest I moved house a few years later and for all I know subsequent occupiers have been plagued with calls from Hawking fans.))
enricouva says:
LaChapelle's interpretation of Canadians' ambivalence towards climate change is quite interesting. Here is what he attributes it to:
(1) Unless they are highly motivated, people will not do the necessary research to inform themselves. And climate change is a complex problem with technical aspects.
(2) They rely on heuristics as an alternative, hoping that media will fill them in on all the facts. But media coverage of environmental issues has been episodic. (and typically it throws everything into a pot of minestrone of less critical issues that still serve as attention-grabbers.)
(3) The public takes hints from elite cues, but the previous Canadian government was committed to fossil fuel exploitation, and for a decade avoided discussing any environmental issues associated with the combustion of carbon-based fuels.
(4) The worst effects of climate change have not surfaced yet. So people are not getting the experiential cues , and they overlook the uncertain impacts on the future.
(5) Ideological predispositions influence interpretations. Some people don't want an increase in the role of government, which they fear would come about if we take more serious action against climate change. for more see uvachemistry.com/2015/12/19/fresh-insights-into-climate-change/
Paul Matthews says:
Anything Erick Lachapelle says needs to be treated with caution. He was one of the authors responsible for this completely garbled piece of survey reporting a year ago, in which they changed their story after their results were published.
There is some sense in those points, but the bias and spin show through strongly, as is usually the case with people who do these surveys.
LaChapelle misses the most obvious – fossil fuels are bloody brilliant. Coupled with there being almost no 'experiential cues' of man made climate change for the worse, people just aren't worried.
It's funny how determined the psych brigade want rejection of AGW to be a political or ideological one rather than one of practicality. If renewables were as good as fossil fuels we'd use them happily. There might be a few petrolheads who stuck to their vintage cars but the rest of us would be zooming about in our electric cars. IF they were as good. We'd even be more concerned if the evidence wasn't so flimsy.
Another new survey:

Short version: Americans are more worried about climate change since Trump's election.
(Will the people who work so hard to increase worry thank him? Er, no.)

See the Moon glide through the Hyades and occult bright star Aldebaran
17 January 2016 Ade Ashford
On Wednesday, 20 January, observers in the British Isles with clear skies can see the 10-day-old waxing gibbous Moon occult first-magnitude star Aldebaran in the constellation Taurus soon after 3:20am GMT (see below for precise times). But before the main event, the Moon passes in front of other conspicuous stars in the Hyades cluster. This view is approximately five degrees high, corresponding to the field of a typical low-power binocular. AN graphic by Ade Ashford.
When the Moon passes in front of a bright open star cluster, you can be assured of several stellar occultations to observe. Such is the case on the night of 19—20 January when the 10-day-old waxing gibbous Moon glides in front of the loose star cluster known as the Hyades forming the head of Taurus, culminating in the occultation of Aldebaran an hour or so before moonset for observers in the British Isles.
The first bright star to be occulted by the Moon this night is magnitude +3.8 star θ1 (theta1) Tauri. For observers in Edinburgh, the star disappears at the dark lunar limb shortly after 11:56pm GMT on Tuesday, 19 January. For Londoners, the star's disappearance occurs some 19 minutes later.
Theta1 Tauri forms a naked-eye double star with magnitude +3.4 theta2. While the latter narrowly escapes being covered by the Moon for most of the UK, in the extreme north of Scotland it will be occulted too. As seen from Wick, for example, the star is hidden for just 14 minutes from 12:09am GMT on Wednesday, 20 January.
For those with the stamina to stay up until beyond 3am GMT — or simply wish to set their alarm for the highlight — the Moon occults magnitude +0.9 star Aldebaran a few seconds before 03:24am GMT as seen from the centre of the British Isles. As viewed from London, the star disappears behind the advancing dark lunar limb at 03:24:30 UT, or about 40 seconds earlier if observed from Edinburgh.
My advice for any budding occultation watcher is to have your telescope setup (or large binoculars steadied by leaning your elbows on a low wall or fence) at least 10 minutes before the predicted time so that you don't miss out — plus it's fun to see the advancing Moon glide ever closer until the star finally disappears from view. For this particular occultation of Aldebaran it is also essential to choose a location with an unobstructed view of the west-northwest as the Moon will be very low in the sky.

Watch the crescent Moon graze a double star at dawn on 27 August
26 August 2019 Ade Ashford
Depending on where you live in the British Isles, you may be fortunate to view a lunar occultation of naked-eye double star delta (δ) Geminorum at dawn on Tuesday, 27 August 2019. Observers fortunate enough to lie on the so-called graze line will see the star appear to flicker on and off as the mountains and valleys of the northern lunar polar regions drift by.
Find planet Uranus close to the Moon on the night of 22 November
22 November 2015 Ade Ashford
Have you ever seen planet Uranus? If UK skies are clear on the evening of Sunday, 22 November, the icy gas giant lies just 1.5 degrees (or three lunar diameters) from the 11-day-old waxing gibbous Moon, making it very easy to locate in binoculars and small telescopes. Here's our online guide to locating this fascinating distant world.

Elizabeth Holmes Tried To Flee The Country To Mexico After Her Conviction, Prosecutors Allege
Jill Sederstrom
Prosecutors allege Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced former founder of the blood testing company Theranos, tried to flee the country to Mexico after her fraud conviction last year.
Holmes booked a one-way ticket to Mexico scheduled to leave on Jan. 26, 2022—just weeks after her Jan. 3 conviction on four counts of wire fraud—without a scheduled return date, according to a court filing obtained by Fox Business.
"The government became aware on January 23, 2022, that Defendant Holmes booked an international flight to Mexico departing on January 26, 2022, without a scheduled return trip," prosecutors wrote in the filing describing Holmes as a flight risk. "Only after the government raised this unauthorized flight with defense counsel was the trip canceled."
Holmes' partner, William Evans, still flew to Mexico on Jan. 26, 2022 and didn't return until approximately six weeks later from another continent, authorities said.

"The government anticipates Defendant will note in reply that she did not in fact leave the country as scheduled—but it is difficult to know with certainty what Defendant would have done had the government not intervened," prosecutors wrote in the documents, also obtained by ABC News.
Holmes' attorney Lance Wade did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Oxygen.com, but did discuss the incident with prosecutors last year, insisting that Holmes had booked the trip before her conviction.

"The hope was that the verdict would be different and Ms. Holmes would be able to make this trip to attend the wedding of close friends in Mexico," he said, according to the court records. "Given the verdict, she does not plan to take the trip – and therefore did not provide notice, seek permission or request access to her passport (which the government has) for the trip."
Wade added that Holmes had not canceled the trip "amidst everything that has been going on."
Holmes was sentenced in November to more than 11 years behind bars for raising millions of dollars from investors after claiming she had invented a medical device known as the Edison, that would revolutionize blood testing by only requiring a few drops of blood to run a series of tests.

The technology, however, never worked and Holmes was accused of deceiving her investors and other health care companies by testing the blood samples through traditional means, without ever divulging the deception, while still touting Theranos' capabilities in the media.
Holmes became the world's youngest self-made female billionaire during the company's heyday, before the ruse came crashing down in 2015 when Wall Street Journal reporter John Carreyrou publicly exposed the company's failings.
Holmes has been scheduled to report to prison on April 27. She was given six months before the sentence began after it was revealed that she had gotten pregnant with her second child between her conviction and sentencing date.
Her attorneys are hoping to keep her out of prison while their appeal works its way through the court system.

Federal prosecutors, however, have argued that Holmes has already had a "generous" amount of time to get her affairs in order and asked the court not to grant a motion for her release pending the appeal.
"There are not two systems of justice—one for the wealthy and one for the poor—there is one criminal justice system in this country," prosecutors wrote. "And under that system, the time has come for Elizabeth Holmes to answer for her crimes committed nearly a decade ago."
They noted that Holmes is currently residing in an estate "with reportedly more than $13,000 in monthly expenses for upkeep."
Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani, Holmes' former love interest and chief operating officer of Theranos, was found guilty of 12 counts against him, including 10 counts of federal wire fraud. He was sentenced in December to 13 years behind bars.

Don Giovanni (Opera Queensland)
Duncan Rock makes a spectacular Don in this feminist production by Lindy Hume.
by Nicholas Routley on October 22, 2018
Playhouse Theatre, QPAC
Hats off, gentlemen, a feminist!
In thus adapting the first line of Schumann's review of Chopin's variations on the duet Là ci darem la mano from Don Giovanni, I am not referring to the director of this production, Lindy Hume, but to Mozart. For while the claims to feminism of the director, made explicit both in the program for the performance and in the scene with which she closed the opera, are undisputed, those of Mozart are perhaps not, and deserve some attention.

Mozart, I think uniquely among opera composers, was deeply concerned with the equality and the rights of women. In Idomeneo he replaces the tyrannical rule of a man with the Enlightenment ideal of an equal king and queen. In The Magic Flute he replaces the patriarchy of the freemasonry with the couple, Tamino and Pamina, so outraging the freemasons of Vienna that they murdered him for it. In The Marriage of Figaro a clever woman outwits a conventional tyrant. (Only in Così fan tutte can a charge of misogyny perhaps begin to stick). In Don Giovanni we see explored the notion that, unlike Nero in Monteverdi's The Coronation of Poppea, a man as completely amoral as the Don cannot be allowed to survive but must be dragged down to hell.
And yet… Mozart didn't finish this opera there. The six principal sufferers of Don Giovanni's completely unbridled lust sing a rather over-cheerful sextet rejoicing in his demise. Ever since he wrote the opera, this ending has raised questions, especially: Can one really write off the trail of wreckage produced by such a man by singing with relief, now he's being punished, that everything is all right? As the #MeToo movement has highlighted, traumas inflicted by such behaviour don't just vanish with the perpetrator. The nineteenth century thought so too, and at that time productions usually finished with the Commendatore dragging the Don down to hell, leaving out the final sextet. Hume's production followed this practice too, which, as in the nineteenth century, makes a moral judgement; but in her reading it is not the Commendatore but the 1003 seduced or raped women (from Spain alone) who reappear, naked, to wreak their vengeance on this monster. This was a significant coup de théâtre, although its effect was somewhat vitiated by the spoiler circulating in the press before the performance, and also the fact that Mozart's music has to do exclusively with the Commentadore at this point. (Further, I was not entirely convinced that Don Giovanni would have altogether disliked such a hell…)

However, in general the events of the music were faithfully reflected on the stage in this production, and this to me is the bottom line for opera productions. The conductor, Johannes Fritzsch, understands this score inside out, and it was clear that discussions between him and Hume had taken place which resulted in all the twists and turns of the music, whether obvious or subtle, welding with the stage action. This is important in any opera, but in such a complex piece as Don Giovanni it is crucial. This production made me more than ever aware of the fluidity between stage and music which is Mozart's most extraordinary achievement in this piece. Aria blends with recitative, and both with ensembles, in way not paralleled even in the opera's immediate predecessor, The Marriage of Figaro. Especially in the first act, the pace of the drama perfectly matched the music, and was a single line from start to finish.
The cast reacted enthusiastically to all this, and the acting of all the principals was enthralling throughout. The three main women, who represent what Kierkegaard called the three stages of the erotic, were vivid characters, and vividly different from each other. Eva Kong's dramatic soprano characterised Donna Anna as bitter, resentful and confused, and showed convincingly how her retreat into mourning for her father's death was a pretext for avoiding the attentions of her insipid, egotistic, boring fiancé Don Ottavio. The high point of her performance was her gorgeous second act aria, Non mi dir. Hayley Sugars used the many different vocal colours at her command to depict Donna Elvira's descent from affronted, scornful, and definitely Spanish dueña to a woman in a state of total, Brechtian, sexual dependency. And Katie Stenzel's lighter, almost mercurial voice admirably suited her as Zerlina, for whom Don Giovanni's seduction, to which she consents, is just an aberration. In both her arias, Batti, batti and especially Vedrai, carino, with its melting clarinets, she expressed a deep tenderness with a seeming vocal artlessness.

Shaun Brown played Leporello for laughs, (what else can one do with this character?) in which the audience is uneasily complicit. Samuel Piper has more honey in his sound than Masetto's character usually demands, which made the audience somewhat more sympathetic with his egoistic jealousy than is usually the case. Virgilio Marino has a voice far stronger than the character of Ottavio merits. In the opening act his aria Dalla sua pace was cut, but I would have been less surprised to hear him burst out with E lucevan le stelle (which indeed I would love to hear him sing). In fact, he and Eva Kong could have stepped out of any Puccini opera.
All their virtues are useless, however, without a great Don Giovanni. And Duncan Rock's portrayal of the title role indeed merits that adjective. I have seen this opera over fifty years, and I don't think I have ever seen a performance of the role I've admired more. Vocally enormous yet controlled, and capable of the most melting pianissimo (for example in the serenade accompanied by a mandolin), and absolutely commanding in character, he bestrode the stage like a colossus. His conscience unperturbed by his countless female conquests, Rock showed with devastating clarity how Don Giovanni becomes undone by his murder of the Commendatore. This particular consequence of his complete amorality he has not taken into account. In his confrontation with the statue (multiply portrayed by images of the singer Andrew Collis sweeping across the screen) he is afraid, uncertain, yet driven by his ego not to run away. Precise nuances of vocal timing and colour conveyed this in a few seconds.

This performance had a few weaknesses, but these were surprisingly basic. Despite Fritzsch's wonderful pacing and control of the orchestra, the upper wind and strings played unsettlingly sharp for the first half-hour before they settled down. And my other reservation concerns the singing style. Perhaps my ears have been spoilt by constant attendance at Pinchgut Opera's performances, with their pure, limpid voices, but I found the vibrato of all three women not well suited to Mozart, and also, as I have already hinted, that of Virgilio Marino. Tellingly, of these four, only Hayley Sugars lists a single opera written before Mozart in her biography. I would like to hear Mozart operas which come from the vantage point of the eighteenth century rather than the nineteenth. After all, that was the one that Mozart knew.
To some extent this is a simple matter of taste. But there is one important aspect of the musical texture of Mozart which too much vibrato renders impotent. In Puccini, for example, you have twenty violins playing along with the singer, so you know what the notes are irrespective of the singers' vibrato. But Mozart does not normally double his vocal lines in the orchestra much. Even in arias, too much vibrato makes the relation between the tune and the bass hard to absorb without effort. But in ensembles it is sometimes actually impossible to tell what notes are being sung.
Avenging Furies and Duncan Rock. Photo © Stephanie Do Rozario
And it is in ensembles that Mozart far outshines even his nearest rival, Benjamin Britten. The importance of this in the dramatic structure of the piece was well understood in this performance. It is in the ensembles that most of those extraordinary harmonic twists and turns, which underpin changing action on the stage, occur. Dramaturgically this was a wonderful night – and it is not only feminists who will appreciate Hume's work. The engagement with contemporary issues is one of the great strengths of opera as a genre.
And Duncan Rock is spectacular. Don't miss this production!

Where Can I See A Cassowary In Cairns?
Updated Tue 11 Oct 2022
Cassowaries can't be found roaming the streets of Cairns city but, you can see them in the wild, wandering around the surrounding rainforests and national parks. Not far from Cairns, you can spot cassowaries in their natural habitats of the Daintree rainforest, Etty Bay and Barron Falls National Park. And, if you're looking to get up close and personal with these giant birds, Hartleys Crocodile park, Port Douglas Wildlife Habitat and Bird World Kuranda all have cassowary enclosures!
Tropical North Queensland is much like Jurassic Park, not only because of its diverse rainforest vegetation or vibrant and exotic plants but also for its dinosaur-like wildlife. The most prehistoric-looking creature you'll find in the rainforests around Cairns are the cassowaries! cassowaries are large colourful, flightless creatures and the heaviest bird in Australia. The casque on its head, feet and respiratory structure is what makes them look so similar to the dinosaurs. Why not make your trip more exciting and see where you can spot cassowaries in and around Cairns?
Where can I see a cassowary in the Wild in Cairns?
If you want to see cassowaries in the wild, here are the locations you are most likely to see them in their natural habitat.
Visit the Daintree it has over 430 recorded species of birds, and is our top pick to catch sight of a cassowary, Australia's most well-known bird. Standing up to two metres tall, they have blue faces, and a large brown bony helmet on their heads (the casque). They are an endangered and protected species making them a special sight to see in the wild. With a high population living in the Daintree, lucky visitors can see them while making their way through the oldest living rainforest in the world!
Etty Bay
Along the cassowary coast and 90-minutes south of Cairns you'll find a popular local's beach. Visit this location for a romantic early morning or late afternoon stroll along the beach and catch sight of the amazing cassowary birds, whilst you watch the sunrise or sunset. Complete your day of natural marvels by making a visit to the nearby waterfalls.
Barron Falls National Park
Barron Falls National park is located in Kuranda, a 30-minute drive from Cairns and is set amongst the Wet Tropics World Heritage. Home to an abundance of species; birds, frogs, insects and cassowarys! With wheelchair-accessible boardwalks, there is plenty of space for everyone to explore.
Where can I see a cassowary up close in Cairns?
Due to habitat decline, cassowary sightings in the wild are not guaranteed and if you're keen to catch a sight of these animals, here are a few closed enclosures where you can get up close with these giant birds.
Hartleys Crocodile Adventures
A crocodile park is not the first place you'd think to see a cassowary. However, Hartley's crocodile park features the cassowary walk and even a daily cassowary feeding so that you can see this magnificent endangered species up close.
Port Douglas Wildlife Habitat
Discover native wildlife like the Southern cassowary or Lumholtz tree Kangaroo at Port Douglas Wildlife Habitat. You can find the cassowaries in the rainforest habitat alongside the stunning Eclectus parrot and mesmerising Rainbow Lorikeet, make sure to bring your camera!
Bird World Kuranda
In Kuranda, the Barron Falls national park is home to cassowaries but, if you haven't had any luck seeing them in the wild, you can see them at Bird World. Bird World has almost 60 different bird species and is home to one of Australia's largest collections of free-flying birds.
Fun Facts about the cassowary
Cassowaries are the second heaviest bird in the world; a runner-up to the ostrich. cassowaries are Australia's heaviest, flightless birds.
The casque on top of the cassowary's head continues to grow throughout its life. Its casque acts as a shock absorber that protects the head as they part their way through the rainforest.
So what do these magnificent creatures eat? Surprisingly enough cassowaries are frugivores (fruit-eaters), and their favourite fruits to eat are the cassowary plum and cassowary Stain Ash. The ecosystem of the rainforest depends on them eating and passing the fruits along the forest floors.
In the world of cassowaries, it is the father's that raise the young by incubating the eggs left by the mother for around 50 days. The father alone then raises the chicks for nine months, teaching them to forage until they reach maturity at three years.
Things to know when cassowary spotting
Please remember to exercise caution with these wild animals by keeping a safe distance. cassowaries are known to be the world's most dangerous bird and are equipped to kill. However, these fruit-eating birds are usually very shy creatures, and attacks are rare, but they can be aggressive especially if their chicks are nearby. Also, if you're driving in the areas of their habitats, drive cautiously and report any injured animals to a local vet.

Blessed Virgin Mary (Mater Dei) Academy uses heart, soul to stun Utica Proctor
Source: Academy Syracuse
The boys varsity soccer coach at Mater Dei Academy planned to give his players something of a break from practice on Friday. With a game on Saturday against Faith Heritage, Christian Melnick said he planned only a light day of conditioning.
Plus, the Saints perhaps earned a day of rest after their stunning accomplishment.
Mater Dei defeated Utica Proctor 2-1 on Thursday in a high school boy's soccer match.
The Saints are a Class D school with the sixth smallest enrollment in Section III (62 students in grades 9-12). Proctor is a Class AA school with the second-largest enrollment in Section III (2,081).
The Raiders are the defending Section III champions in Class AA. Last season, the Raiders reached the state semifinals.
Nicholas Page and Carmen Futchi each scored goals and Michael Simonton made five saves in the upset victory played at the Mater Dei Academy pitch in Warners. Peyton Lareaux had the only goal for Proctor – on a bicycle kick.
"It was incredible," said Melnick, who is in his fourth season as coach of the BVM team.
"It was amazing," said school director of athletics Tom Rowe. "I can borrow the words of my son (Douglas Rowe), who is the vice principal. I was standing next to him and he said, 'This is like David and Goliath.' They had us running all over the place. We just didn't quit. We just didn't quit."
Melnick said Proctor has been playing Mater Dei for at least eight years. He said the Raiders responded when the school put out requests for "friends and neighbors" games as it was starting up the soccer program. He said the relationship has developed into friendly competition.
Mater Dei took a 1-0 lead in the first half on Thursday. Page took advantage of a Proctor defensive breakdown to score unassisted in the 30th minute. The shock of the goal – and the lead – energized Mater Dei.
Proctor responded with great effort in the second half and tied the game in the 18thminute on Lareaux's spectacular goal. It was his first goal of the season. If that was supposed to deflate the Saints, something got lost along the way.
"Our boys responded well," Melnick said "In year's past, we've had a tendency to lose track of our game. The boys fought through that adversity."
And it produced the winning goal.
Again, Mater Dei pounced on a Proctor mistake. Center-midfield Alex Mills gathered in a Proctor turnover and made a pass to Futchi, who buried the shot into the net in the 25thminute.
From there, it was a scramble. Melnick said he had to move players all over the field because of exhaustion or cramps. Somehow, the Saints hung on.
"It was a big win for them," said Proctor coach Nick Gailulo, whose team fell to 7-2-1 after the loss. "We just got beat. They were big. They were physical. They played hard the whole time, not that we didn't. We had tons of opportunities and didn't put it in the back of the net, and that was that."
Mater Dei Academy is a private boarding school in Warners and was founded in 2000. It has about 150 total students in grades K-12. It is associated with the Society of Saint Pius X and is affiliated with Blessed Virgin Mary Church in Warners.
Athletically, the school competes as an independent, but is a member of Section III and is eligible to participate and compete for New York State Public High School Athletic Association championships. Some of the key players in the win over Proctor are boarding students. Melnick said Mills is from Idaho and Futchi is from Ohio.
Mater Dei had not surrendered a goal until Thursday. The Raiders broke that streak. But the Saints won a much greater prize in victory.
"There was always a hope that we could beat them," Melnick said. "It was take the game five minutes at a time. That was our strategy.
"The boys played not just with their minds and not just the physical aspects, but also with their heart and soul. I believe that's a big part of their success and their belief in their abilities. Obviously, you have to have some talents to beat a team like Utica. It was just our talents and everything else all lined up for that game."

HP uses Intel's Optane memory to boost slower drives, and offers a 144Hz panel at the high end.
HP's Pavilion Gaming Laptops are jumping straight into a massive, multiplayer battle royale, as PC vendors vie for mainstream gamers' money. The Pavilion Gaming line, announced Wednesday, is due to ship in late May or early June (and also includes desktops). It closely follows the Dell G series competition announced April 3 and shipping later this month. Meanwhile, Lenovo's Legion gaming line and Acer's Nitro affordable gaming PCs are already on the field.
In other words, it's a great time to be shopping for a gaming PC. HP and all of its competitors have entry-level models in the $750-$800 range, and higher-end models hitting $1,000 or more. It's hard for any one of these vendors to stand out, but HP has made some interesting choices in storage technology and other details. Let's take a closer look.
The Pavilion Gaming Laptop's angled corners have large vents chiseled into them.
HP's Pavilion Gaming Laptops start off with just one 15.6-inch laptop form factor, and many possible configurations.
For the $799 starting price you get an Intel Core i5-8300H CPU with 8GB RAM, and a 15.6-inch, 1920x1080 display. The storage has two upsides: the 1TB hard drive runs at 7,200rpm, when we're seeing a lot more 5,400rpm drives in this price range. A 16GB Intel Optane Memory module provides fast cache to make the drive feel a lot faster. On the other hand, the AMD Radeon RX 560X discrete GPU is a bit lower-end than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050s you'll find on similarly priced models. Probably. AMD hasn't formally announced a Radeon RX 560 and didn't respond to PCWorld queries, so we're assuming this is a somewhat tweaked version of the standard RX 560.
HP does better at the $909 price point: You get the same Intel Core i5-8300H CPU with 8GB RAM, but graphics graduates to a GTX 1050Ti. Storage remains generous compared to the competition: a 1TB, 5,400rpm HDD for files, plus a 128GB SSD to speed up your OS and applications.
Backlighting choices include Ghost White, Ultraviolet, and Acid Green (shown).
If your budget stretches to $1,000, you have a few new choices. The $1,019 configuration of the Pavilion Gaming Laptop comes with Intel's faster Core i5-8750H and 8GB of RAM. The GTX 1050Ti remains, but HP upgrades the display from 60Hz standard to a zippy 144Hz refresh rate. Storage returns to a 1TB, 7,200rpm HDD and 16GB of Intel Optane Memory, but that display could be a worthwhile tradeoff. There's also a 4K display option, but that component will eat your battery life.
The keyboard deck is made of durable aluminum so you can bang on it a bit during intensive gameplay.
To HP's credit, the company sweated some details in the Pavilion Gaming Laptop's design. The chassis color is a simple black, but you can choose a backlight color: Ghost White, Acid Green, or Ultraviolet. The display has narrow bezels to maximise screen space. The keyboard's not mechanical, but an aluminum keyboard deck adds durability in case you're the type to take things out on your computer when the game's not going your way. The speaker grille runs above the keyboard to maximize sound output, the better to immerse yourself in gameplay.
Ventilation makes or breaks a gaming laptop—no one wants the CPU or GPU to throttle because they can't take the heat. HP builds large vents into the hinge area and positions the dual fans right in the corners by those vents, rather than placing them deeper inside the machine, to maximize airflow.
Shop for a mainstream gaming PC, and you'll quickly find a bunch of very similar competitors jostling around certain, sweet price ranges. The HP Pavilion Gaming Laptops jump right into the fray, with their own share of good points and nice details compared to rivals. I'd say the storage options deserve the most credit for carefully balancing speed and capacity. We'll tell you more if we have a chance to review it.


I just couldn't resist posting this. I have never tried to manipulate a picture until this morning, when I succeeded in making my "Frankenstein" photobooth photo. It being my University sweet-heart's birthday today, I thought I'd see what else I could do. Not too bad for a first effort.
Happy birthday to my Ricky-Tee-Pee. Still my favourite man after all these years! xxxx Kate.
PS Next year there will be wings.

Happy Birthday Rick!! He hasn't changed that much!!
No, he looks much the same… bit less hair, that's all. He is still daft and gorgeous!


The entire twitter account is gone.
Houseki was her audition song, it's nice to see Hikaru decided to sing that song in front of audiences now.
I'm more excited about History Maker. Did Hikaru also get the hype of Yuri on Ice too?
Aw Hikaru is my favorite, so I really wish there could've been a way to record this because she sang so many of my favorite songs like Houseki, Platinum, Tamashii no refrain, black bird. It's a weird setlist though, for sure. This is all so weird, I have no idea about what they could do with the group moving forward.
From someone who went, the Sprinter parts were slowed down and arranged so that one person could sing all the parts. All the Kaijuran parts were left unsung, and the song lyrics ended after the "I'm calling your name...."
http://spice.eplus.jp/articles/202017 Live report made by Spice!!!
articles about the today live!!
M-My heart will go on? And here people thought it would have classical music.
Apparently the last song was written by her but composed by someone else.
So....I guess she has her own niche now.
WHEREEEE DID YOU READ THIS?? OMG!!!
From what I gathered trying to google translate (lol) a spice article (https://spice.eplus.jp/articles/202818), Ryu Masaki sang 7 songs? I'm guessing, based on the article, she sang the musical/movie soundtrack songs, so: My Heart Will Go On (Titanic), Shadowland (The Lion King), I Don't Want to Miss a Thing (Armageddon), and My Favorite Things (Sound of Music). The article also mentions Memory Love too. That's only five, though. She probably sang Waving Through a Window (Dear Evan Hansen) too, so that leaves one other.
lol My heart will go on, I hate that song so much. I guess since Wakana was Kalafina's main singer she's the one who has a lot more options in her repertoire now.
I wonder if she will go solo or not after all, I think she's lovely and I liked her work with Kajiura but I don't know if she has the stage presence for a mainstream pop solo career. Maybe if she only does small lives and more acoustic music, it could work. On the other hand, I definitely see Hikaru going into anison now, and I think that's a good thing for her, she likes rock music (most anison's are a bit rock inspired although obviously poppy too) and she is a good performer who can deliver an "aggressive" vocal style when needed. I rarely watch anime but I've always digged anime music, so I'll be looking forward to that if it happens.
>Wakana's part is mostly Kalafina and FJWakana songs.
Gurl, that's lazy as fuark.


Kuala Lumpur: TIME magazine's year-end cover picture of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been done by a deaf Malaysian artist.
New York-based Leon Lim's portrait artwork of Assange appears on TIME's latest issue (Dec 27-Jan 3) that recognises individuals or groups who made the news over the past year.
Lim, who has never met Assange, used the text of a leaked cable to create a "new" face for the Australian journalist who has turned the diplomatic world upside down by exposing government secrets through his whistleblowing website.
Lim spent three days making six different versions, and sent a copy of his "transformative work" to the magazine early this month, The Star said Tuesday.
"I wanted to share my thoughts on why Assange should be the person of the year. I certainly didn't expect to see my portrait of him in print as the magazine has its own design team for artwork," Lim told the newspaper from Manhattan.
The dramatic portrait apparently caught the eye of the magazine's managing editor Richard Stengel, who recommended that it be used with an article on Assange.
Assange, who has become the world's most talked about man, was third runner-up in the magazine's list of newsmakers but emerged as the Readers' Choice in a poll conducted by TIME.
Lim was a bit disappointed that Assange was not the top pick of the magazine's editors but was happy the award went to another big Internet name - Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
While he admired Zuckerberg for helping to connect people around the world, he praised Assange for his courage in exposing government secrets to "set things right".
Getting his work published in TIME is a dream realised for Lim, who has been reading the magazine since he was 11.
The artist has been deaf since birth.
"As a kid who never heard any sound or music, I was always attracted to the magazine's bold colours, pictures and graphics," he said.
Lim, who left his Alor Setar hometown for the US 11 years ago on an art scholarship, has made a name for himself, having held several exhibitions in the US, Europe and Asia.


Despite the current swell of 90-degree weather here in New York's Hudson Valley, there are creepings of fall peeking in at the edges of everything. Due to the heat, people have been sticking to the shade or heading to the water to keep cool. Being down at the river this time of year makes me think not only of the coming months, but also the start of a new rowing season, fresh with the straining of new muscles and the strengthening of old. I struggle with meeting this season at its head; while I'm excited to see what comes next, I always find myself missing the sport. The summer at Mowglis has become the only time of the year that I remain thoroughly involved with Crew. It's become one of the things that has taken the sidelines, as the rest of life has revealed itself. This summer has been particularly difficult to leave behind, due in no small part to the way the camp as a whole embraced Crew Week.
The days leading up to Crew Week build up the atmosphere in camp slowly to a boiling point, as older campers return from squads, and campers all begin to speculate about Crew affiliations and boat lineups, with rumors of Crew Leaders cropping up as steadily as the increased rate of practice. I always find it hard to eat at that Sunday evening's picnic supper due to the excitement of the coming announcements, and this summer was no different. As the night drew to a close, boys and staff returned to their dorms ready for an exciting week, but not until after they had applauded the newly announced boats, making sure to cheer particularly loudly for their Crew Leaders: Mr. Jack Richardson and Mr. Jack Cherry, the latter of whom was still on the bus returning to camp from a long weekend away. He was back by morning, however, just in time to help Mr. Richardson hand out bandanas to camp. Given that both of our Crew Leaders this year were first-time counselors, veteran staff on their crews wasted no time in lending a helping hand, and together they organized the boys in several productive days of learning cheers, making posters, and publishing some of the finest editions of the esteemed Scarlet Journal and Blue Banner that the camp has seen in some time. Morale was high, thanks in no small part to an early announcement from the Denites teaching us all about what it means to be sportsmanlike and how to respect our opponents, and Crew Week was off to a great start.

UNH-Led Collaborative Identifies Need for System That Integrates Behavioral Health with Primary Care
DURHAM, N.H. – New Hampshire residents will benefit from a health care system that integrates behavioral health into primary care, according to a report released by the University of New Hampshire's Institute for Health Policy and Practice (IHPP) and the New Hampshire Citizens Health Initiative (NHCHI).
The learning collaborative also included the identification and exploration of challenges in payment for substance use disorder screening and treatment. According to the report, the state's current opiate epidemic highlights the need for better screening for behavioral health issues, prevention and treatment referral in primary care.
The research, conducted in partnership with 60 organizations, is based on a philosophy of shared data and shared learning that emphasizes the importance of transparency across all stakeholder groups.
Twenty-five to 30 percent of visits for primary medical care either originate from or have a significant related behavioral health component. Research also found that depression and anxiety with a co-occurring chronic medical condition increase costs dramatically.
"The evidence is clear that addressing behavioral health concerns like depression, anxiety, and substance abuse disorders in primary care would improve outcomes," said Jeanne Ryer, director of the New Hampshire Citizens Health Initiative. "We're pleased to see New Hampshire medical and behavioral health providers and insurers working together to put this evidence-based practice to work for our residents."
The Institute for Health Policy and Practice is an applied research institute located within UNH's College of Health and Human Services. IHPP conducts and disseminates high-quality, cutting-edge applied research and policy work that enables health system partners to implement evidence-based strategies to improve population health.
The NH Citizens Health Initiative is a multi-stakeholder collaborative effort that promotes health systems transformation in New Hampshire to improve the health of NH's population, in line with the Triple Aim of better health, better care, and lower costs. The initiative, a program of the Institute for Health Policy and Practice at UNH, has a 10-year history of leading, incubating, and testing innovative health care transformation efforts.
The University of New Hampshire is a flagship research university that inspires innovation and transforms lives in our state, nation and world. More than 16,000 students from all 50 states and 71 countries engage with an award-winning faculty in top ranked programs in business, engineering, law, health and human services, liberal arts and the sciences across more than 200 programs of study. UNH's research portfolio includes partnerships with NASA, NOAA, NSF and NIH, receiving more than $100 million in competitive external funding every year to further explore and define the frontiers of land, sea and space.

I have said it many times, a hockey career can be broken down into numbers. From the number a player was or was not drafted to the goals scored or points amassed. A player's jersey number. The number of minutes a player spends on the ice per game, or the number of penalty minutes amassed over their career. The number of playoff games a player has played in and the number of playoff points accumulated in those games. The number of teams a player has played for and the number of games a player has played over their career.
On November 23, 2014, Vancouver Canucks assistant Captain, Daniel Sedin reached a milestone among the numbers that make up an NHL career: 1000 games played.
Let's take a closer look at the numbers that make up Daniel Sedin's career.
1000 games played is a milestone in many an NHL career, but having played all 1000 games for ONE team is an even tougher feat to complete. Daniel Sedin has followed in the steps of his twin brother Henrik, yet AGAIN on THIS latest milestone. Welcome to the 1000 games played for ONE team club, Danny!
Sedin was drafted 2nd overall at the 1999 NHL draft right ahead of brother, Henrik by the Vancouver Canucks. His NHL debut was the start of the 2000-2001 season, on October 5, 2000 and he scored his first goal October 8, 2000. His NHL debut was delayed because him and Henrik had committed to play one more year with MODO (in the Swedish Elite League) before making their names known at an NHL level.
It was not until after the 2004-2005 lockout that fans and media fully realized the star potential that Daniel and Henrik were capable of on the ice. In the 686 games that Daniel has played in since the start of the 2005-2006 season, he has posted 674 points (250 goals, 424 assists).
Vancouver Canucks fans have been incredibly lucky to have seen both of the Sedins develop from promising rookies drafted in the first round of the 1999 NHL draft into the elite players that they have become today.
During the their 15-year journey, the twins have witnessed two lockouts and accomplished many feats. During the 2004-2005 full season lockout, they played for MODO in the Swedish Elite League. In 2006 they won Olympic Gold for Sweden, they helped lead Sweden to GOLD at the 2013 World Championship and in Sochi, Daniel picked up Olympic Silver in 2014. In 2010, Henrik won the Art Ross Trophy and in 2011, Daniel did the same. In February 2013, Henrik passed Markus Naslund's 756 franchise points record, Daniel did the same in April of that year officially ranking them #1 & #2 in the Canucks record books. Last season saw Henrik celebrated the 1000 games played milestone, this season was Daniel's turn. Daniel may have developed a knack for following in Henrik's steps in the record books BUT he has more than made his own mark in NHL history.
This season marks Daniel's 14th NHL season. In 1001 regular season games, Daniel has been assessed 424 penalty minutes and amassed 825 points (311 Goals…69 of which have been game winning goals + 514 Assists). Of his 311 goals, 112 have been scored on the power play. Impressive to say the least considering that early on despite all of his potential there was the question of whether he and his brother would have staying power in the NHL. Could they reach that elite level? It may have taken some adjusting but the twins have more than answered any lingering questions about their abilities over the last 15 years.
It is very rare to see ONE player, let alone TWO players TOGETHER play 1000 GAMES for the SAME team. Sedinery will NEVER go out of style. As a Canuck fan, I feel incredibly lucky to have been able to watch Daniel Sedin from early in his career to maturing into an elite player and now seeing him rediscover his Sedinery magic with Henrik this season.
A handful of brothers have played together in the NHL before but none have played their entire careers together from day one and the natural chemistry that the Sedins have. They seem to simply anticipate where the other is without even looking at times when making a play…and 95% of the time they are right. The twins have been there for nearly every milestone that the other has reached but THIS one moment just like for Henrik is Daniel's to enjoy as his own. Unlike Henrik's 1000th game when Daniel was out with an injury, this time BOTH twins were 100% healthy and Daniel celebrated THIS milestone with Henrik by his side.
It is an incredible milestone in many NHL players' careers to reach the 1000 game mark but it is rare to see a player play 1000 games with ONE franchise, but that is exactly the case for Daniel Sedin. Just like his brother, he has played EVERY game of his career for the Vancouver Canucks. Just THREE players have suited up for 1000+ career games with the Vancouver Canucks: Trevor Linden, Henrik Sedin and Daniel Sedin.
May I ask yet AGAIN: how incredible has it been to watch Daniel's career develop from a young rookie to the veteran leader that he has become over the last 15 years? The Sedins have had the fans and media critique them every step of the way but I ask you, Vancouver, do you realize how lucky we have been to witness the careers of these two? There will never be another pair like these two with their incredibly accurate no-look passes that turn little innocent looking plays into absolute magic not to be repeated goals.
There is NO doubt in my mind, that one day both #33 and #22 will be up in the rafters at Rogers Arena. One day, when the twins retire, it will be beyond strange, to not see the Sedins on the ice, but perhaps by then we will finally be able to fully appreciate just what these two mean to the franchise. It is not just their amazing abilities on the ice, but also the work they do off the ice with the Canucks charities and in the community that will make them irreplaceable.

Long distance movers are businesses that the task of carrying your baggage over small distances or long distances in the United States. The truth is they are doing a lot more than that although their name is indicative of shifting the products. They unpack and will pack, weight and sell, as well as shop the products that you simply cannot change quickly towards the new location. Long distance movers provide their services such combinations that abilities, as well as their services can balance, completely. If you should be much more comfortable with packaging and unpacking the products yourself than trusting others with the task, you are able to pack and close the moving boxes and inform the organization. The long distance movers can provide a loading ramp along with their truck at your local area and can provide you with more or two times to fill the products into it. They will then generate the packed truck towards the area where you would like them shipped.
This kind of service where the long distance movers NJ provide it correctly in the new area and get the products from the office or home is called 'door to door' service. When you have running or parking issues within the areas of one's building, you are able to generate the products towards the service center of the long distance movers and obtain it filled there. In the destination point you may choose to obtain it in the business core itself. This type of service is going to be 'city to town' or 'port to port' service as not the same as a 'door to door' service. Long distance movers' providers may also be created 'door to port' or 'port to door', if that is everything you need. Additional companies like unpacking and packaging, or filling and unloading are outside this and you will be determined and priced separately, based on the amount of products. The entire group of solutions offering all of this is known as 'full service moving. 'Many movers offer package offers for such full-range solutions for individuals who have to move greater quantities of products.
Long distance movers provide options for this. Though some have portable storage containers by which you are able to keep your products as long while you want many have storage services in various towns. These storage containers may be weatherproof. One major advantage with one of these lightweight containers is the fact that they may be stored level on the floor and thus offers easy loading. Many long distance movers have tie ups with moving boxes companies. Without your needing to be concerned about some of these therefore, they will have the ability to request your moving boxes and moving materials. More, several movers are prepared to offer helpful information concerning the living standards, house supply, environment, lifestyle, along with other information on the brand new spot to that they are going to their clients.


This single breasted blazer is made of 100% luxury Moon Tweed fabric. It is effortlessly stylish to wear, looking great with a pair of jeans and some pumps or some smarter trousers with some heels. It fastens with three buttons with matching decorative buttons on each cuff and has a rear vent for ease of movement. Finished with matching satin lining, you can't go wrong with this classic style that can be worn in all seasons, year in, year out.

Q: Wordpress php Dropdown Click and Go I have this code that lists all my product categories in a dropdown menu, but when I select a category from the dropdown menu, nothing happens:
<?php
$args = array('hide_empty'=> 0,
    'taxonomy'=> 'product_cat','show_option_all'=> '- Search by category...',
    'hierarchical'=>1,'orderby'=> 'name',
    'echo'=>0);

$cats = wp_dropdown_categories($args);
echo $cats;
?>

How can I make it so when I click a category name, it goes to that specific category page?
Thanks.

A: You will need to attach a form with submit buttom or attach javascript code to make the dropdown interact with your selections.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_dropdown_categories
<form id="category-select" class="category-select" action="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>" method="get">
    <?php wp_dropdown_categories($args); ?>
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="view" />
</form>

Or
<?php wp_dropdown_categories($args); ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
        <!--
        var dropdown = document.getElementById("cat");
        function onCatChange() {
            if ( dropdown.options[dropdown.selectedIndex].value > 0 ) {
                location.href = "<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>?cat="+dropdown.options[dropdown.selectedIndex].value;
            }
        }
        dropdown.onchange = onCatChange;
        -->
    </script>

A: Write a block with jquery code that reads the selector changes, it's a suggestion, you can make the adaptations you require
Try like this:
    <select id="pages">
  <option value="">Select Page</option>
  <option value="google.com">Google</option>
  <option value="hitcel.com">HITCEL</option>
  <option value="facebook.com">Facebook</option>
</select>

$("#pages").change(function(){
    var value = $(this).val();
  if(value==""){
  }else{
    window.location.href="https://"+value
  }
})
