Pinguinus impennisgreat auk
By Tanya Dewey

Food Habits
Predation
Ecosystem Roles
Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
The last great auk was seen in 1852 off the Newfoundland Banks. They were extinct in the western Atlantic before 1800 and persisted a bit longer in some parts of the eastern Atlantic and off the coast of Iceland. They lived and bred on scattered, offshore islands in the northern Atlantic in recorded history, although it is possible they once occurred on continental coastlines but were extirpated from those areas earlier. They were found from Canada, Greenland, and Iceland to the British Isles and Scandinavia. Colonies in the western Atlantic may have been less numerous than in the eastern Atlantic. Archeological records indicate they once occurred as far south as southern Spain and New England in the United States, Pleistocene records indicate great auks occurred as far south as Italy and other parts of the Mediterranean. Great auks became extinct before any natural history studies were conducted, so little is known about their lives except for a few studies of lone, captive birds and the casual records of mariners. (Bengston, 1984; BirdLife International 2008, 2009)
Biogeographic Regions
In recorded history, great auks were found breeding only on isolated, rocky islands in the North Atlantic. They foraged in the open ocean when not breeding. (Bengston, 1984; BirdLife International 2008, 2009)
Habitat Regions
saltwater or marine
Great auks were large, flightless seabirds. They were similar in overall appearance to their smaller relatives in the family Alcidae, but much larger and with greatly reduced wings, reflecting their flightlessness. Great auks are widely considered the northern Atlantic ecological corollary to the Antarctic penguins. Great auks stood 70 cm tall and weighed up to 5 kg. They had black plumage dorsally, with white breasts, bellies, and undertail coverts. Their wings had a white trailing edge and there was a large white patch in front of each eye. Their bills were robust and ridged, like other alcids, and their gape was bright yellow. Their reduced wings were approximately the size of those of razorbills and were used to propel themselves underwater during dives. They are said to have been excellent swimmers, able to evade capture by people in boats. Analysis of bones from midden sites indicates that there may have been some geographical variation in morphology. (Bengston, 1984; BirdLife International 2008, 2009)
Other Physical Features
endothermic
homoiothermic
bilateral symmetry
Average mass
Average length
There are no reported of mating behaviors. Based on patterns of parental investment, great auks were monogamous and may have retained mates over many successive years. (Bengston, 1984)
Mating System
Because they couldn't fly, potential breeding sites had to be accessible from the sea so that great auks could land and walk from the shore to a nesting site. They bred in dense congregations in nesting colonies but colonies seem to have relatively fewer birds than seabirds with smaller body sizes. They are thought to have bred from May through June, during a breeding window of approximately 6 to 7 weeks. However, other records indicate breeding occurring later, into August. This could represent geographic variation, re-nesting, or inaccurate observations. Females laid a single egg up to 84 by 140 mm in size. Incubation time is estimated at 44 days. Great auks may have had an exceptionally rapid hatchling development stage, fledging in as little as 9 days. This is supported by the fact that there are few or now descriptions of great auk hatchlings or hatchlings held in collections. It is possible that this rapid hatching to fledging period was followed by parental care on the water, where the family could forage and fulfill their high energy needs. Estimates suggest they may have taken 4 to 7 years to reach sexual maturity. (Bengston, 1984)
Key Reproductive Features
iteroparous
seasonal breeding
gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate)
oviparous
Breeding interval
Great auks bred may have bred once yearly or less often, given their high energy investment in young.
Breeding season
Great auks were observed breeding from May through August.
Range eggs per season
Average time to hatching
Range fledging age
9 (low) days
Range age at sexual or reproductive maturity (female)
Range age at sexual or reproductive maturity (male)
Females invested heavily in large, yolk-rich eggs and it is thought that great auks hatched at a fairly precocial state. Both parents developed brood patches, so incubated eggs and brooded their young. They probably alternated egg and hatchling tending duties, as in other seabirds. Time to fledging is estimated to be very short, but a post-fledging period of parental investment at sea is possible. (Bengston, 1984)
Parental Investment
precocial
pre-fertilization
pre-hatching/birth
pre-weaning/fledging
As in other large seabirds, annual survival is thought to have been relatively high. Estimated lifespan was from 20 to 25 years. (Bengston, 1984)
Range lifespan
Status: wild
Great auks are thought to have spent most of their time at sea outside of the breeding season, when they would be found at breeding colonies on isolated, rocky islands and sea stacks. They were social, foraging in small groups and breeding together in colonies. Anecdotes suggest that they may have engaged in some kinds of visual displays, including head shaking and bowing and presenting their bright yellow gapes. (Bengston, 1984)
Key Behaviors
natatorial
diurnal
motile
There are no estimates of home range size in the literature, although they are thought to have ranged widely outside of the breeding season.
Observations suggest great auks may have used visual displays in communication. Sounds are not described. (Bengston, 1984)
Perception Channels
Great auk adults dove for fish and young birds are thought to have eaten zookplanton or smaller fish. Their morphology and flightlessness indicate they were highly specialized piscivores as adults. An analysis of the fish bones associated with great auk bones from middens indicate that they ate fish from 140 to 190 mm long, including menhaden (Brevoortia tyrannus), shad (Alosa species), capelin (Mallotus villosus), 3-spined sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus), striped sea bass (Morone saxatilis), and flatish (Pleuronectidae). Based on these evidence, some researchers have suggested that great auks fed mainly in shallow waters (up to 18 m) within 2 km of shore and chose primarily large prey (70 to 190 mm, up to 300 mm). They seem to have preferred fish with high fat content. (Bengston, 1984; BirdLife International 2008, 2009)
Primary Diet
piscivore
Animal Foods
zooplankton
Great auks were preyed on by humans. Other natural predators are not known. (Bengston, 1984; BirdLife International 2008, 2009)
Known Predators
humans (Homo sapiens)
Great auks were specialized predators of larger fish in the northern Atlantic. (Bengston, 1984)
Great auk bones are common in coastal middens throughout Europe and the Mediterranean dating from 13,000 to 2,000 years before present. Great auks were intensively exploited for food and fuel by mariners in search of fresh meat. Their fat was also rendered and used as fuel. (Bengston, 1984)
Positive Impacts
body parts are source of valuable material
There are no adverse effects of great auks on humans.
Great auks are presumed to have become extinct in 1852, the last date that a wild bird was observed. The last known breeding pair was killed in 1844 in Iceland. Great auks, and their eggs and young, were relentlessly exploited for food and fuel. Like other flightless birds with few or no natural predators, such as dodos (Raphus cucullatus), great auks were docile and ungainly on land. They could not fly and could only walk at about the pace of a human walking. They did not exhibit fear when approached and were therefore easily captured and dispatched. Mariners raided nesting colonies and took birds and eggs by the thousands to eat fresh, render for fuel, or salt for later consumption. The last two birds killed in Iceland were preserved and are held in the Museum of Zoology in Copenhagen, Denmark. There is little doubt that they were hunted to extinction by humans, although there is a possibility that their numbers and range were declining previous to that as a result of environmental changes that reduced the number of appropriate islands for breeding and altered prey abundance. Prehistoric human hunters seem to have sustainably hunted great auks and some modern human populations imposed regulations to moderate the effect of their harvesting on populations. (Bengston, 1984; BirdLife International 2008, 2009)

A szélfurulya népi fúvós hangszer, hangképző nyílásokkal ellátott peremfurulya. Hasonló a kis hatlyukú furulyához, de azzal ellentétben dugó nélküli, mindkét végén nyitott cső.

Felépítése
Ebből a hangszerfajtából csak egyetlen példányt sikerült leírni az 1960-as években, ennek gazdája egy 1884-ben született bukovinai székely. Hangszere sárgaréz csőből készült, de az adatközlő eredetileg bodzából készített szélfurulyát. Elkészítési módja ebben az esetben megfelel a furulyáénak, azzal a különbséggel, hogy a szélhasító nyílás és a dugó elmarad, ehelyett a cső peremét – a tilinkóhoz hasonló módon – a megfújás felőli végén kívülről befelé körbefaragják, kúpszerűen mintegy kiélesítik, hogy szélhasító ékként szolgáljon.

A cső belső átmérője 10 mm körüli. A hat hanglyuk közül a legalsó a hangszer végétől egy hüvelyknyire van, egymás közti távolságuk egy-egy mutatóujjnyi. A legfelső hanglyuk egy "hüvelykes tenyér" távolságra van a cső felső végétől.

Megszólaltatása
A szélfurulya az ajaksípos hangszerek, ezen belül a peremfurulyák családjába tartozik. Megszólaltatáskor a közönséges furulyához látszólag hasonlóan, de kicsit enyhén ferde irányban jobbra tartják. A játékos a hangszer csövének végét a száj közepétől kissé jobbra, nagyjából a kerülete háromnegyedével ajkaihoz támasztja, úgy fújja rá a levegőt. A levegősugár a szemközti peremnek ütközve légörvényeket, peremhangot kelt, amely – más fúvós hangszerekhez hasonlóan – a cső levegőoszlopának sajátrezgéseit gerjeszti.

A vizsgált hangszeren készítője d'' alapú dúr hangsort játszott két oktáv hangterjedelemben, de a hangokat a megfúvás módjának változtatásával jelentősen mélyíteni tudta. Ujjrendje ugyanaz, mint a közönséges hatlyukú furulyáé, és a játéktechnika is – a megszólaltatás módjától eltekintve – azonos, de hangja valamivel élesebb amannál.

A 20. század elején a bukovinai Hadikfalván ezt a hangszert használták a dugós furulya szerepkörében, két hegedű és egy ütőgardon mellett a falubeli parasztbandában is helyet kapott. Észak-Moldovában a szélfurulya román megfelelője, a fluier moldovenesc szintén részt vett a félhivatásos falusi hangszeres zenélésben. Kobzával, vagy ezen kívül még hegedűvel játszott együtt.

Royal Replicas (Royal Replicas) by Michael Pierce.
Publication: July 11th 2017 by ParousiaSix Press.
"Princess Amelia is dead... and one of you will replace her."
Seventeen-year-old Victoria Sandalwood has served the Duke and Duchess all her life. Over the years, she's learned to make due with what she has and endure her surrogate father's awful punishments. She dreams of escape, but never expected it to come in the form of a message from the Queen of Westeria.
Victoria learns that she's the Queen's daughter, the younger sister to Princess Amelia, and it's time to come home and claim her birthright. When she arrives, she discovers she's not the only one who received the royal message.
Royal Replicas is the first book in a YA dystopian series. If you enjoy courtly intrigue, heart-pounding adventure, and sweet romance, then you'll love this captivating story. Perfect for fans of Kiera Cass, Bella Forrest, and Veronica Roth.
"Hey there," the man said as his thoroughbred stopped before me.
He didn't quite look like the clean-cut Prince Byron from the hologram, but it was definitely him. His dark hair fell in all directions creating the perfect mess. Thick stubble covered his face, his eyebrows bold, and his gray eyes smoldering, making him look at home with the brawny riders of the Outlands, not royalty.
I knew I wouldn't survive if I went out there. "It wouldn't be proper. I'm dressed for our official introduction later this afternoon." I held up my shoes dangling from one hand to reinforce my point.
"Canary," I said with a smirk, gaining a bit of confidence.
The intensity of his eyes on me only seemed to strengthen. I found myself leaning into the fence like my body was being pulled forward. His boot in the stirrup was only inches away.
"Okay… I do appreciate learning new things. Since I can't convince you to ride with me, what else interests you, Miss Sandalwood?" Prince Byron asked.
"Did you memorize the basic information on all of us?" I asked.
"Well isn't this a pleasant surprise," said a voice from behind me.
The expression on the Prince's face had made no indication anyone was approaching until that moment; his gaze left me for the first time since the start of our conversation. I turned and saw Constance ten yards away, approaching fast.
"Canary," Prince Byron said, giving me a knowing grin.
"I beg your pardon?" Constance lay her head on my shoulder, staring longingly up at her possible prize.
"The shade of yellow is canary," he clarified.
"I wouldn't want to mess up your dress or your hair or anything else when you're so perfectly put together," the Prince said.
"I'd love one," he said.
She offered him her hand and he shook it.
"I'm so excited!" she squealed.
I forcefully took my arm back from the snake beside me.
"It was a pleasure meeting you, Miss Victoria Sandalwood. I'll see you inside later," Prince Byron said, strapping on his helmet, sliding on his sunglasses, and riding off toward the stables.
"Yes, you will," I said, more to myself than him. I should have pushed through the pain and joined him in the field when I had the chance since it literally hurt to watch him ride away.

Sons and Daughters Month is The Fostering Network's annual campaign to celebrate the vital contribution that the children of foster carers make to foster care.
Each October, The Fostering Network and fostering services across the UK run events and activities to recognise and reward children and young people for the important role they play in welcoming fostered children into their families.
The sons and daughters of foster carers play an essential role in welcoming fostered children into their families and ensuring successful fostering placements.
Many people say that the potential impact on their birth children is one of the major barriers to becoming a foster carer. The reality is that many children benefit from being part of the support network offered by a fostering family to a fostered child. Seeing life from another's perspective can be an enriching experience and can help a child learn and develop as an individual.
During Sons and Daughters Month 2018, we celebrated the vital contribution that the children of foster carers make to foster care by encouraging children and young people living in fostering households to enter the #OurGreatestMemory competition.
#OurGreatestMemory was all about children and young people living in fostering households - sons and daughters of foster carers or fostered children or young people - sharing a special or significant moment that is unique to them within their fostering journey.
Below are some of the wonderful entries we received.
We are currently judging the entries, so come back soon to find out who won.

Restaurant Linked to Kathy Berman Death Probe Said They Were Closed
Published August 15, 2017 • Updated on August 15, 2017 at 7:37 pm
An investigation has been launched into the restaurant that allegedly served the wife of longtime ESPN broadcaster Chris Berman before she died in a car crash in May, but the restaurant said they were closed that day.
Good News Cafe in Woodbury has been linked to Kathy Berman's death investigation after the Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) said on Tuesday that police indicate she may have been dining at the restaurant prior to the crash.
NBC Connecticut reached out to Good News Cafe and a manager said DCP and state police were at the restaurant last week asking questions and they were given receipts to prove the establishment was not open on the day of the crash. The manager said the restaurant cooperated fully and that officials were now looking into other restaurants in the area. The restaurant's website says Good News Cafe is not open on Tuesdays.
The crash happened on Route 64 near Tuttle Road at 2:15 p.m. on May 9 after a Lexus SC 430 driven by 67-year-old Berman, of Cheshire, and a Ford Escape collided, according to state police.
The 86-year-old driver of the Ford, Edward Bertulis, was returning from visiting his late wife at the cemetery when the deadly crash happened. His family said he had been going there every day since his wife passed away in 2016.
State police said both vehicles were traveling east on Route 64 when Berman's Lexus rear-ended the Ford, which veered right off the road, hit a utility pole, and landed upside down. Berman also veered right, crashed off the road and down an embankment into a body of water, according to police.
Both drivers died after the crash.

The chief medical examiner's office said Berman died of blunt force trauma and drowning on July 20.
On Tuesday, DCP said the autopsy indicated that Berman had heightened blood alcohol content.
State police were made aware that Berman had been at the Good News Cafe on Main Street prior to the accident and troopers believe she may have been over served, according to DCP.
DCP said that according to all reports, Berman was at Good News Cafe. They said they understand the restaurant is not open on Tuesday normally and are investigating whether or not she was at a private event. If it was discovered Berman was not at Good News Cafe, DCP said they will investigate further.
Connecticut State Police and DCP's Liquor Control Division opened a case into the matter, DCP said on Tuesday.
"Our Liquor Control Division opened a case into this matter as soon as we received information indicating a liquor establishment may have violated the law. We are working to complete our investigation in the most thorough manner possible, and our hearts go out to all those affected by this tragedy," DCP said in a statement provided to NBC Connecticut.
Employees of the restaurant and witnesses are being interviewed and surveillance video is being reviewed, DCP said.
The investigation is expected to take a few months.

Q: React passing state Objects to child component I am new to using React and have run into an issue with passing state.
I have a get request in my App.js which I am using to add and Object containing Objects to state. I am then trying to pass this data to a component to loop over the objects and display the data.
the problem is the data isn't getting picked up in the component, it just returns currencies [object object]. If I add everything directly to the Component, rather than passing state down, then everything works as expected.
Also in my component i've had to comment out this.createTable() as this causes the following  error:
×
TypeError: Cannot convert undefined or null to object
// Get the keys of the first item.
> 60 | Object.keys(Object.values(data)[0]).forEach(key => {
     | ^  61 |   const header = document.createElement('th');
  62 |   header.textContent = key;
  63 |   headerRow.append(header);

If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated!
App
class App extends Component {

  constructor(props) {
    super(props);

    this.state = {
      error: null,
      isLoaded: false,
      currencies: {}
    };
  }

  componentDidMount() {

    axios.get('https://blockchain.info/ticker')
      .then((response) => {

        const data = response.data; // Returns an Object containing multiple Objects

        this.setState({
          currencies: data,
          isLoaded: true
        });

      },
      (error) => {
        console.log(error);
      });

  }

  render() {

    const currencies = this.state.currencies;

    return (

          <CurrencyData currencies={currencies} />

FORM

    );
  }
}
export default App;

Component
class CurrencyData extends Component {

  componentDidMount() {

    const data = this.props.currencies;

    console.log(data);

    // this.createTable(data);

  } // END componentDidMount

  createTable = (data) => {

    const table = document.createElement('table');

    // Create headers.
    const headerRow = table.insertRow();

    // Empty cell for currency column.
    headerRow.insertCell();

    // Get the keys of the first item.
    Object.keys(Object.values(data)[0]).forEach(key => {
      const header = document.createElement('th');
      header.textContent = key;
      headerRow.append(header);
    });

    // Create rows of data.
    Object.entries(data).forEach(([ currency, values ]) => {
      const row = table.insertRow();
      const header = document.createElement('th');
      header.textContent = currency;
      row.append(header);

      Object.values(values).forEach(value => {
        row.insertCell().textContent = value;
      });
    });

    document.querySelector('#table').append(table);
  };

  render() {
    return (

    )
  }
}

export default CurrencyData;

A: You are having an empty object as the default value for currencies
so here if an empty object is passed the above error would be thrown as its undefined
Object.keys(Object.values(data)[0]);

So you should have a check before doing this like data!==null and data.length>0
And you should set the default value of currencies to an empty array as you are setting an array to it.

A: Add this condition to your App.js, because when the currency component first time renders it receives an empty {} object, which leads to error. Check CodeSandBox
{Object.keys(this.state.currencies).length > 0 ? <CurrencyData currencies={this.state.currencies} /> : "loading"}

Of all the available ways modern dentistry has to replace missing teeth, dental implants are by far the best. There is no tooth-replacement option that will give you a longer-lasting result. Implants also help preserve tooth-supporting bone that naturally deteriorates when a tooth is lost. Loss of bone is one of the major hidden consequences of losing teeth.
A dental implant most often takes the form of a small, screw-shaped titanium post that replaces the root portion of a missing tooth. The surgical procedure used to place an implant is actually quite minor and routine, requiring only local anesthesia in most cases. After a healing period, the implant is topped with a lifelike crown that's custom-made to match your existing natural teeth. Implants have a documented success rate of over 95%, which is significantly higher than any other tooth-replacement option.
During a minor surgical procedure, your dental implant is inserted directly into the jawbone in the space vacated by the missing tooth. It will then be left to heal for a period of months before the final crown is attached. During this healing period, the implant actually fuses to the bone surrounding it, giving it even greater strength and stability.
Replace One Tooth — When you have one tooth missing, a single implant is inserted into the bone to replace the root part of that tooth; a crown then goes on top to simulate an actual tooth. This treatment choice has the highest success rate, making it the best long-term investment for replacing a single missing tooth. Even if the initial cost is slightly higher than other options, it is the most cost-effective solution over time. A dental implant will never decay or need root canal treatment, and it feels just like the tooth that was there.
Replace All Teeth Permanently — Implants can support an entire arch of upper or lower replacement teeth that are fixed into the mouth and are never removed. Sometimes the new teeth can be supported by as few as 4 implants. It's comparable to the structure of a table, which needs only four legs to hold it up. In cases where jawbone density and volume have deteriorated, five or six implants might be needed to support a row of 10 to 12 teeth. Dental implant replacement teeth protect your jawbone, won't slip, and are designed to last a lifetime.
Support Removable Dentures — Implants can even make removable dentures more comfortable, effective and healthier to wear. Traditional dentures rest on the gums and put pressure on the underlying bone. This accelerates bone loss so that the jaw shrinks and the dentures slip, particularly on the bottom. But today, dentists can attach a removable denture onto implants, transferring that pressure into the bone structure rather than the bone surface. This prevents the dentures from slipping when you eat or speak, and preserves the bone directly beneath them.
There are only two ways a dental implant can lose attachment to the bone and fail once it has successfully fused: poor oral hygiene or excessive biting forces.
Poor oral hygiene or a lack of regular cleanings can lead to a destructive bacterial infection called peri-implantitis. Flossing and brushing your teeth on a daily basis, along with regular professional cleanings, can prevent this.
Excessive biting forces can come from either a habit of clenching or grinding your teeth, or an insufficient number of implants to handle the forces generated by your natural bite. You should receive the correct number of implants to prevent this from happening. And if you have a habit of grinding or clenching your teeth, a nightguard will be recommended to protect your implants. After all, implants are a long-term investment in your smile, your health and your well-being, so it's best to protect your investment.
If you have any questions about dental implants, including whether or not you're a good candidate for them, please give Merritt Mill Dental Associates a call today.


HÀ NỘI — Toyota Motor Việt Nam (TMV) has imported 200 cars through Hiệp Phước Port in HCM City after six months of suspending imports to Việt Nam.
This is the first batch of automobiles from the Japanese automaker since the Government's decree 116 went into effect early this year.
The firm previously said they were unable to meet Việt Nam's stringent checks of imported vehicles under Decree 116 on the production, assembly, import and warranty of automobiles, which was issued just as Việt Nam eliminated tariffs on automobiles imported from ASEAN members.
Under which, this new batch of automobiles, imported from Thailand, will enjoy zero per cent import duties and have to pay only special consumption tax and value-added tax.
The firm is making necessary import procedures for the batch, which is expected to roll out to the market next month.


Here's the latest news from the councillor's surgery - which was last week Thursday. Apart from Lynne, there was a resident from Abbotts Walk in the surgery to raise an issue to do with their property and stayed to listen to the general update.
While the Council is still planning to build houses at Hillier Way and also at one of the garage sites (we don't know which one), there won't much happening until the end of the year or later. Once architects have been chosen and done their designing, there will be a public exhibition somewhere for residents to have their say about the designs. This could be at the rugby club, but also at the Guildhall.
A planning application about paving has been put in for Abbotts Walk which also includes a reference to the open space. Jim Maynard to find out what this says.
There no news about the Abbotts Walk play area. We are a bit concerned that the Redrow employee who the councillors used to deal with about this has just left, and so far there's no replacement that they know of.
The drainage basin in Abbotts Walk was a small pond even before Christmas and now is a sizable one. It could be that it has been silted up by the building work, which also uses a lot of water, but is something to keep an eye on. We were assured it would not reach pond levels, merely becoming marshy.
Apparently Redrow maintain the land for 12 months after the building work has finished before handing the land to the Council so there won't be a playground until after that has happened. It seems the Council are now doing the playground. However, we are sure we were told in a meeting that it would be Redrow doing it and then they would hand it over to the Council after their 12 months of maintenance are up.
The council won't put a second goalpost in to make a pitch because of the manhole cover, as they are concerned somebody might trip over it. Jim Maynard is going to have a look at it with Council officers. The Council are planning to consult on whether residents are concerned that the re-sited goal post is too far away from the playground area to be able to keep an eye on their children who are playing there, whilst also keeping an eye on their children who are in the playground.
The Council Leader is planning to use the input from the consultation on the four options. There will be a cabinet meeting in February (probably the one on 12 February) when they will decide whether the current centre can be refurbished or a new one is needed. Dominic Hiscock has been invited to join a group looking at the issue which is having a series of six meetings ending in July so there won't be much happening in terms of building for a while yet.
Commuters are parking at Abbotts Road, Courtney Road and Park Road now and the councillors are getting a lot of complaints. The process of implementing some form of controlled parking is going to start in the financial year beginning 14 May and will take at least a year.
Lynne updated Jim Maynard and Dominic Hiscock about the changes to the Worthy Road, they are going to contact Fiona Mathers.

I am something of a late-comer to the video revolution. That's probably an understatement. This past week we got our very first ever video camera. Yes, we have waited this long. It is a Kodak Zi8, which seems to have a good rep. I'm pretty pleased so far. This is the first video with that camera. It handles the audio feed from my mixer pretty well, I think.
This is, of course, a cover of the Joe Zawinul/Weather Report fusion classic. I also played the bass on the backing tracks. Drums and keyboards are midi. The guitar is an Anderson Hollow Cobra sent through an old Line6 POD Pro.
Let me also state that I am well aware that the much improved video & audio quality does not result in any improvement in my totally load-like "stage presence". It does let the music come through pretty well, however.
The work that I've posted over the past several months is now collected and released as an album.
Strictly speaking, I'm not sure Steely Dan qualifies as a fusion group, but they certainly were jazz-influenced. On their records, they employed most of the top session players of the era, many of whom are well-known as jazz artists: Joe Sample, Wayne Shorter, Larry Carlton, Lee Ritenour, etc.

Q: Dependency injection for Silverlight? I normally use StructureMap.dll (from MvcContrib) for dependency injection in .NET.
Is there an equivalent for Silverlight, or any tools anyone uses? I can do it by hand, obviously, and it's not difficult. But I wondered if there was something formalised like StructureMap but for Silverlight.

A: Ninject does.  Some resources:
http://jonas.follesoe.no/2008/07/24/youcard-re-visited-implementing-dependency-injection-in-silverlight/

A: AutoFAC does as well (and is faster than NInject according to benchmarks I've seen).
http://code.google.com/p/autofac/downloads/list

A: A while ago I wrote a tutorial on using Ninject in Silverlight with MVVM. The tutorial explains how to use Ninject. It describes some of its basic features like setting up the bindings in different ways and using constructor incjection. The tutorials has examples on how to use a ViewModelLocator to resolve objects from Ninject when using bindings.
I personally use Ninject most often.

Hunting for Finnish Hops: Are They Indeed Growing in That North And How Do They Look Like?

Hop (Humulus lupulus L.) is dioecious perennial climbing plant belonging to the Cannabaceae family. Female and male hop plants can be also found on the shores and broad-leaved forests on stream banks in Finland. Hop is thought to be originating from East Asia but is also considered native to Finland. Remains of hop pollen were found in the Mesolithic layers in Southern part of the country. Findings of macrofossil seeds date to the Middle Ages and most probably cultivation of hop started then. When Finland was part of Swedish Empire, during the 17th and early 18th centuries, hop inflorescences were used for paying taxes, and there were even legal obligations to cultivate hops until 1915.
Hundred years ago there were commercial hop yards in Finland, but unfortunately they have vanished over the years. Since then there have been made several trials to bring hop back to agricultural production, but those attempts did not result in bigger scale cultivation. Now with rising demand for crafts beer the need for local hops is clearer than ever before.
For the purpose characterization of hops growing in Finland, we collected samples of 165 different accessions from forests, collections and those ones that presumably had been used in brewing. We analyzed the contents of alpha- and beta-acids and prenylated flavonoids by liquid chromatography (HPLC-DAD), terpenoids by gas chromatography (GC-MS) and for accession with sufficient number of cones also the amount of volatile oils by steam distillation. Genetic analyses were performed with 9 microsatellite markers including also 18 landraces and bred cultivars from Europe. As expected Finnish hops clustered to a separate group easily distinguishable from the European accessions.

Lots of racing this weekend, in fact, I had 4 races in 3 days. And I had my best race on the last day! Kind of funny, huh?!
Conference was a blast, and the temperatures definitely prepared me for this weekend. On Friday it was around 30-40 and Saturday was even higher than that! My teammates raced well, and we ended up winning the Championship!!! It was our first year in our new conference and it was so much fun being able to start out with that!
I raced well, and was happy how I did. Elm Creek is such a fast course, quick tempo (which is my favorite!) works really well on the course.
Winter Break has been super busy. We spent a lot of time skiing at Hyland Bloomington. Right after Christmas we went up to the Birkie trail and they got a lot of fresh snow. When we woke up there were 5 fresh inches on the ground, approximately 4.5 more inches we had at home. It was Ben, my dad and I and we ended up doing some old fashion skiing, trekking through the woods, making our own path. It was a nice change of pace, and we even got into the local newspaper!
After we came home, we suffered a cold break and kept up our skiing. Then the last weekend, I had one of my biggest races of the season...... Senior Nationals! It was pretty cold, and the sprint race got delayed, so I couldn't race in it, but I had a good skate 10k that was a lot of fun despite the cold, wind and blowing snow!

Who Are The Most Sought-After Actors This Pilot Season?
It is the end of January, and pilot offers to actors are going out fast and furious. Like every year, there are several actors that attract the lion's share of offers. In the leading man category, two 40-something actors, Friday Night Lights star Kyle Chandler and Brotherhood alum Jason Isaacs, are red-hot, fielding a half-dozen offers each.
Among the ladies, Ugly Betty alumna Becki Newton is once again in demand despite the fact that her pilot gig could be in second position to her current series, NBC's midseason dramedy Love Bites whose prospects are dim with a cut-back order and no premiere date set. (Love Bites co-star Greg Grunberg already booked the lead in the A&E pilot Big Mike in first position). Also sitting on multiple offers is Gilmore Girls alumna Krysten Ritter. Casting directors on several projects are also sending out feelers to Christina Applegate, who just gave birth to her first child. Other TV actors lured to return to series TV are Debra Messing, Jason Bateman, James Spader, Daniel Sunjata, Ali Larter, Lizzy Caplan and Katee Sackhoff.
As usual, pilot casting directors' wish lists include a lot of movie actors. Most of them will say no, but there are always a few who make the jump to TV. We already have a big one this pilot season with Ethan Hawke, who signed on to topline the Fox drama pilot Exit Strategy. Maria Bello has gotten multiple offers, with Susan Sarandon, Kim Basinger, Ryan Philippe and Kerry Washington also being approached and Julianne Moore and Naomi Watts talked about.

Researchers in Pisa have developed a pasta that they say may help your heart.
Eating large amounts of pasta—spaghetti, tortellini, raviolo—hasn't exactly been thought of as healthy. But researchers in Italy (no surprise) have developed a barley-enriched pasta that might actually promote cardiovascular health, according to a recently published study.
In a trial, pasta was infused with a substance in barley called beta-D-Glucan (BBG). After five weeks, 44 percent of mice (read: mice, not humans) fed this BBG-infused pasta survived one hour after an induced cardiovascular injury, compared to just 21 percent of the mice that ate regular wheat pasta in that same time frame. The mice eating the barley-enriched diet also showed fewer signs of heart damage than the rodents that ate the regular pasta, according to The Local.
"We know that soluble fiber [which barley has plenty of] benefits heart health by helping to remove bad cholesterol and plaques out of the blood vessels," Dana Hunnes, Ph.D., R.D., a senior dietitian at Ronald Reagan-UCLA Medical Center tells Condé Nast Traveler. "The antioxidants in it may also be anti-inflammatory, which is a huge issue when it comes to heart health." In fact, inflammation, Hunnes notes, may be a major cause of heart disease. Because fiber plays a role in preventing weight gain, it can also lower the strain on the heart, she adds.
As for supporting the heart through an injury? BBG "promotes the growth of natural coronary by-pass," the study's lead author Vincenzo Lionetti, M.D., Ph.D., an associate professor of anesthesiology at the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna's Institute of Life Sciences in Pisa, Italy tells Condé Nast Traveler. Put more simply? BBG appears to affect specific receptors and proteins that help the body form new blood cells, he says—and this is a good thing.
After all, this approach seems to be working for the Italians—Italy is the healthiest country in the world, according to the Bloomberg Global Health Index.

Economic blackmail fails to silence China's human rights critics
Beijing ramps up the pressure to gag companies and stifle international debate
ByJuweihu	 March 29, 2021 March 30, 2021
China has perfected the use of economic blackmail to silence critics, muzzle major global brands and stifle international institutions.
By spinning a web of "lies," Beijing has shown how impotent the world's leading democracies have been to stop the human rights crisis in the region of Xinjiang.
Doublespeak prevails even in discussions with the United Nations as it seeks unfettered access to the area.
At least one million Uyghurs and other ethnic Muslim groups have been held in Xinjiang internment camps.
Last month, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet voiced deep concerns about reports of torture, sexual abuse and forced labor in what Beijing calls "reeducation centers."
"[Her visit] is being negotiated at the moment between the office of the High Commissioner and the Chinese authorities," UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told the CBC network after months of behind-the-scenes work.
The facts:
Major western democracies rolled out sanctions against the ruling CCP last week for human rights violations against ethnic Uyghur Muslims.
They included the United States and the European Union, as well as the United Kingdom and Canada.
Beijing hit back with a raft of countermeasures.
Human rights groups and the UN have expressed grave concerns amid allegations of torture, forced labor and sexual abuse.
China's ruling Communist Party has branded the allegations "lies."
What was said: "I hope an agreement will be reached soon and that the human rights commissioner will be able to visit China without restrictions or limitations," Guterres said. That is looking distinctly unlikely.
Reaction to the news: "The purpose of this visit should be to promote interaction and cooperation, and not to carry out so-called investigation on the presumption of guilt," China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told a news briefing in Beijing on Monday.
Hyperbole hysteria: Xu Guixiang, a Xinjiang government spokesman, told the media on Monday that western democracies were plotting to "destabilize" China with "hysterical" accusations.
Political power play: "They have lost their minds and their conscience, they are enthusiastic about political manipulation and the abuse of sanctions, to a level that is hysterical," Xu said.
Delve deeper: China has targeted global brands, such as H&M, Burberry and Nike, for speaking out about the alleged use of forced labor in the Xinjiang cotton industry. Data released by the "End Uyghur Forced Labour" website illustrated the depth of the problems.
Tainted trade: "The Uyghur Region supplies more than a fifth of the world's cotton. Up to 84% of cotton production from China is sourced from the region. One in five cotton garments on the global apparel market is tainted by forced labor," it said.
Shut up or shut down: "I don't think a company should politicize its economic behavior. Can H&M continue to make money in China? Not anymore," spokesman Xu said.
China Factor comment: At the heart of this dispute is the belief in Beijing that China's economic muscle can eventually tear down the liberal structures built by democracies since the end of World War II. President Xi Jinping's authoritarian regime continues to chip away at a range of issues from Hong Kong to the democratic island of Taiwan and from the militarization of the South China Sea to economic blackmail to access the world's second-largest economy.

Creative News Anchor 'Fixes' Potholes By Filling Them With Giardiniera!
It's pothole season in Chicago, and instead of waiting for the roads to fix themselves, some people are taking matters into their own hands.
People of Chicago realize that spring is pothole season. However, they additionally realize that WGN Channel 9 has the best local morning news show, because of clever, laid-back personalities like weatherman Paul Konrad, co-anchors Robin Baumgarten, and Larry Potash, and sports journalist Pat Tomasulo.
Source: Reddit (For representational purposes only)
The ideal case of the show's rather quirky chemistry has to be the time they were sitting tight for a live shot of a bridge exploding, cut away for a second, and missed it (video below)! Tomasulo may have missed the bridge blow-up segment, however, he's still so well-known that he presently has his very own local late-night show called Man Of The People, where he does late-night-show-type stunts.
On his latest episode, he filled some Chicago potholes with Giardiniera. As the hilarious video shows, Tomasulo got the Giardiniera from Chicago mainstay Vienna Beef, alongside a sack of Italian meat sandwiches. As he playfully fills the pothole with Giardiniera, wearing a city vest, he additionally hurls out meat sandwiches at individuals.
Now and again, those individuals in the video even top off their sandwich with pothole giardiniera, taking their adoration for Chicago to a totally new dimension. At times, vehicles can be seen driving through the pothole, splattering the peppers all over the place.
However, we have such a large number of inquiries. Whose thought was this? What amount giardiniera does it take to fill a pothole? Who tidied everything up after the stunt? Demonstrating that he truly is a man of the people, Pat Tomasulo himself took a couple of minutes to answer numerous inquiries from people.
He clarifies the brainstorming process behind deciding the ideal component for filling the potholes. He said, "We were trying to think of stuff that was very Chicago-centric, like deep-dish pizza, hot dogs. I liked the idea of just buckets of wet Italian beef, but we didn't want to be too wasteful."
He added, "So we thought giardiniera was a good compromise in that it's food but it's more a condiment." Therefore, they got a few industrial-sized buckets from Vienna Beef. In any case, shouldn't something be said about the slipperiness of the oil?
"Well, that is why you would probably be a good television producer because I didn't think of that until we were on location. It took one car to go through this pothole and it's incredibly slippery. I didn't worry about the cars so much as I did the bikers," Tomasulo stated. Therefore, Tomasulo and his group were certain to tidy up all the giardiniera after the shoot, and filled in the pothole with sand.


Today in history, songwriter and bandleader Louis Jordan was born, hundreds of white men attacked Hamburg, South Carolina, and mathematician Dr. David Henry Blackwell passed away.
This is Marc Steiner, and today is July 8th. Welcome to This Day In History.
That was "Choo Choo Ch'boogie" by "The King of the Jukebox," singer, songwriter and bandleader Louis Jordan, who was born today in 1908 in Brinkley, Arkansas. He spent 113 weeks at number one, the most time spent that high on the charts by any Black recording artist of his day.
Before the United States was formed and before Vermont became a state, it broke away from New York and declared itself The Commonwealth of Vermont. One of its first acts in 1777 was to abolish slavery. Human freedom became an integral part of its constitution, which declared that all men are born equally free and independent; no male over the age of 21 or female over the age of 18 may serve another in a role of servitude, and private property must submit to the good of the whole. When Vermont did join the United States as a state in 1791, it became the first state that abolished slavery.
There was an all Black town in South Carolina, just across the river from Augusta, Georgia called Hamburg. In 1876, it had its own militia, and most of the townspeople were Republicans, who also served in the South Carolina State Militia because the Reconstructionist government in this majority-Black state was Republican. On July 4th, the State Militia was doing maneuvers when two White farmers rode past. Finding their way blocked, an argument ensued, and even though they all went about their way, the two farmers petitioned to have the Hamburg Militia disbanded, even though they were not part of the maneuver. On July 8th, hundreds of white men, many of whom were members of rifle clubs that were in a constant state of war with newly freed people, and under the command of former Confederate general, attacked Hamburg. The Hamburg Militia and 16 citizens took refuge in their armory to defend themselves. A militiaman and one of the attackers was killed. White farmers brought in a cannon, attacked, and blew a hole in the armory. The town marshal was then killed and four militiamen were executed by the White mob, which then captured the armory. They told people to leave, then opened fire on the Black citizens, killing 7 people and injuring many more in what has become known as the Hamburg Massacre. This massacre was used by former Confederate General Wade Hampton during his campaign as Democrat for Governor to stir up White masses to say how endangered their way of life was because the rising power of the Black race. He won, and Reconstruction ended in South Carolina.
