Ampthill Wesleyan Church – unveiling of the Memorial Tablet
Ampthill Methodist Church – a large brass plate is displayed inside the Nave on the East wall. The Memorial Plate is inlaid with enamel and measures about a yard square, and remembers 22 members of the Church and Sunday School who did not return from the Great War.
Six of the men are brothers of the Ansell, Cox and Money families. Christopher and Frank Cox were killed a few days apart in 1916 at the Battle of the Somme. John Hele's book 'Ampthill's Fallen' tells the fate of all twenty-two men. Five of the men are also remembered on the Ampthill Camp Memorial in Ampthill Great Park where they trained (1914-16). The five men are:
Arthur Gillett
Thomas Money
George Money
Richard William Putman
Unveiling of the Memorial Tablet
On 5th December 1920 a large congregation assembled to see the brass tablet unveiled. This is how the Bedfordshire Times & Independent reported the occasion –

The newspaper tells us that after the unveiling of the Memorial Tablet, a special memorial service to the fallen was held in the evening, conducted by the Rev. Robert Rogers, in the presence of a large congregation. Mr W.H. Cutland was at the organ and the choir impressively rendered the anthem "What are these?" The hymns were "Ten thousand times ten thousand," "When the day of toil is done," "O King of Kings," "Come let us join our friends above," and "God of the living." The Rev. R. Rogers gave a very interesting discourse from Matthew, xxvi, 8. "To what purpose this waste,"
The Memorial Plate was removed in 2019 for restoration work, and a copy of the Order of Service was found secreted behind.

WWI – Ampthill Command Depot in Ampthill Park – the Camp Diary, November 1918
November 1918 – the Armistice was signed at 5 o'clock on Monday, November 11th where after the news rippled through Bedfordshire that firing would cease on all fronts at 11am.
In Bedford, immediately afterwards flags were flying all over the town, the church bells rang merry peals, and schools and most of the factories closed down. Soldiers were heartily cheered in the streets and jubilant crowds marched through the principal thoroughfares. The welcome news rippled throughout the County and there were many relieved and joyous scenes – read more.
Bedfordshire Times – November 15, 1918
How Ampthill received the news
News of the signing of the Armistice reached Ampthill about 10.20 a.m. on Monday, and instantly the flags of bygone days made their appearance one by one, until the town presented a festive appearance. About the largest flag in town was a huge one of the British colours, which hung outside the White Hart Hotel. Workshops and places of business closed and gave their attendants a holiday, and others took it. Those who could not have a flag had bows and enterprising shopkeepers did a good trade. The soldiers from the Camp had leave, and many of them crowded into the centre of the town, singing patriotic songs and making merry. A brewery dray, making its way from Bedford Street, met with an enthusiastic reception from the soldiers, who started to tug at the barrels of beer. The drayman was forced to return for shelter to the brewery premises. The scholars paraded the streets waving flags, singing songs and making an immense salute of noise. The flag on the church tower was hoisted, and the bells pealed out one of the most welcome peals ever heard in Ampthill.
The good old town clock in the market place, which had been silent for some years, took upon itself to send out its familiar chimes at 11 o'clock, causing the ears of the towns people to tingle at the well-remembered sound which had been lacking so long.
At the Parish Church a united public thanksgiving was held at which all classes and conditions were represented, and the Rector led the service. A solemn Te Deum was sung by a large congregation including Lady Ampthill and the Hon. Miss Russell and special thanksgiving hymns and Psalms were sung. Later on the school boys paraded for hours, fondly thumping kettles, pans and drums, and carrying flags, singing patriotic songs. In fact there never was such a commotion in the town, and such a feeling of thankfulness. There were mixed feelings of joy and sorrow in many hearts, especially those who had lost loved ones, but at the same time one and all were thanking that further sacrifice of life was now not necessary. Up to late hours the festive crowd occupied the market place, and the streets were alive with people. Several windows threw out the almost forgotten light.
On Tuesday a party of the Royal Engineers from Haynes Park on horseback, paraded the town making merriment. In the evening the drum and fife band of the Command Depot, assisted by a number of men from the Depot, held a torchlight tattoo through the town, and were loudly cheered wherever they went. All the main streets were paraded, whilst the band played lively airs and the torches threw a lurid glare over the whole scene. In conclusion the band, halted in the Market-place and played "He's a jolly good fellow," followed by "Rule Britannia" and, as a finale, "God save the King."
On Sunday, 17th a special thanksgiving service for the victory of the Allies was held at St.Andrew's Church, when a large congregation was present. Ampthill Urban and District Council, the V.A.D and the uniformed organisations were well-represented. The Rector, Rev Walter D. May, took the service. Afterwards the various bodies formed up outside the church, and marched off to their respective headquarters.
A month of welcome relief
The Ampthill & Urban District Council's decision to have 30 lamps lit in the town was speedily carried into effect. The dark paint has been removed, and the town presents a cheerful appearance.
The Band of the Bedford Depot, from Kempston Barracks, arrived in Ampthill on the afternoon of Friday 15th, in motor lorries. It is 36 strong, under Bandmaster BAXTER, and seems to be composed chiefly of lads under military age. They were stationed at "Foulislea" in Church Street, and appear to be quite comfortable in their new quarters. The Band were inspected by Colonel His Grace the Duke of Bedford, K.G., A.D.C.,
A farewell tea, followed by a musical evening, was given to about 30 work men and staff of the Food Production Department, No. 2 Unit, Ampthill by the Flitt Cycle Company, at the King's Arms Hotel. The men spent a most enjoyable time, and the military section were sorry to have to return to barracks, owing the scheme closing down for the winter. No. 2 Unit has ploughed, cultivated or cut approximately 3,600 acres of land. This is really good considering the men were quite inexperienced in that particular work.
The Rev. A. M. RICHIE M.A., of Leicester, took both services at the Union Chapel, on Sunday. He has seen active service on the Western Front with the Y.M.C.A.
There was a good supply of cattle at the Ampthill Emergency Market on Tuesday 19th. Forty beast and 200 sheep were surplus, and were sent away for distribution to other centres.
That evening the Ampthill Boy Scouts arranged a concert in the Church Room. Mr A. H. Wingfield was in the chair, and the room was crowded out. Mrs Stearn and Miss Collins were the accompanists, and much of the success is due to them. The Troop Funds should benefit by about £9 as a result.
Private George DENNIS (Rifle Brigade), Private Edward SINEY (Machine Gun Corps), Private A. CARDINAL (Army Service Corps), Private Charles IZZARD (3rd Buffs) and Lieutenant Thomas Vaughan (Royal Scots Fusiliers) have been home on leave. Private Arthur MOORE (16th Middlesex) is also home on leave recovering from a neck wound.
Lieutenant Alfred WALDRON (Royal Engineers Signals) is now in France and has been laid up with an attack of influenza. Private Robert SHUTLER (Army Veterinary Corps) has been discharged from the Army, and is now home again. He has been looking after wounded horses in France.
The final month of this torrid war has claimed the lives of 7 men who trained at the Ampthill Camp.

WWI – Ampthill – the Camp Diary, August 1914
Saturday, 25th July 1914 – the 5th Battalion Bedfordshire Regiment arrived in Ashridge Park for 15 days training. On the morning of Thursday, 30th July a hundred men from the Brigade received orders to leave the camp at short notice, their destination being unknown. Twenty-five men from the Battalion under Lieutenant Forrest, of Ampthill, were included in the number.
War arrives
At 6.16 p.m. on the evening of Tuesday, 4th August the Chief Constable of Bedford, Major Stevens, received a telegram from the Under Secretary at the Home Office ordering instant mobilization of the Special Reserve and Territorials.
"His Majesty the King has been graciously pleased to direct by proclamation that the Army Reserve be called up on permanent service. All Regular Reservists are required to report themselves at one at their place of joining in accordance with the instructions on their identity certificates for the purpose of joining the Army."
"All Special Reservists are required to report themselves on such date and at such place as them may be directed to attend for the purpose of joining the Army. If they have not received any such directions or if they have changed their address since last attendance at drill or training, they will report themselves at once by letter to the Adjutant of their Unit or depot. The necessary instructions as to their joining will then be given."
"His Majesty the King, having been graciously pleased to order by proclamation that directions be given by the Army Council for embodying the Territorial Force all men belonging to the said Force are required to report themselves immediately at their Headquarters."
The military authorities at the Kempston Barracks and the Territorial Headquarters, who had been expecting the order all day, were immediately hard at work sending out notices to the men, and within a few hours a large proportion of Bedford's able-bodied population were ready to take their place in the line of defence.
A large gang of men was busily engaged with constructing a huge platform in the Ballast Pits Siding near the Kempston-road junction of the Midland Railway, for the entrainment of soldiers and guns in readiness for five special trains to leave on the Saturday morning.
In Ampthill
On the morning of Wednesday, 5th August Bugler Harry King (5th Bedfords') was ordered to sound the fall-in (click to listen) at the Drill Hall on Dunstable Street. About fifty Territorials of the Ampthill Company reported and then left for Headquarters at Bedford, in charge of Colour Sergeant Bunker. The Ampthill Town Band accompanied them to the station, and a large crowd gave them a hearty send-off, and all of the men went off in good spirits. Whilst the men were entraining the Band played "Auld Lang Syne."
On arrival at Bedford the Ampthill Company, with those from Luton, Dunstable and Biggleswade, were accommodated at the Roise-street Schoolroom and the Goldington Council School where most of the furniture was turned out into the school yard to make space. By the evening the whole of the men, to the number of about 950, were in town.
200 hundred horses were entrained at Ampthill next morning.
In Ampthill four Boy Scouts were requested to report themselves to the Police Superintendent at 10 a.m. on Friday for messenger service. Four more at 2 p.m., and four more at 6 p.m. Those with bicycles to take them.
Writing in the Ampthill Parish News, the Rev Walter D. May said:
Ampthill Parish News (September 1914)
In the days to follow the roads and lanes of Bedfordshire echoed with the clop-clop of big country horses as they proceeded in strings to the seat of war. By mid-August the county was literally ransacked for equine. It was particularly hard on the baker or grocer, whose horse and trap is the sole means of conveyance to a wide circle of villages. In the extreme north of Bedfordshire, farmers, travelling drapers, and others to whom horses are very necessary were in considerable trepidation. One farmer took matters philosophically, and offered to sacrifice his old cockerel 'if it was any use to the Government.'
Ampthill & District News (August 15, 1914)
The Lady Margaret Ampthill has published a list of generous offers of support which the Bedfordshire Branch of the British Red Cross Society had . The offers include buildings promised as temporary hospitals, accommodation and convalescent homes

WWI – Ampthill Command Depot in Ampthill Park – the Camp Diary, August 1918
August 1918 – news has been received that Private Edward KEECH (M.G.C) of Church Street who is a prisoner of war in Germany. Private KEECH is thankfully well.
Cadet W. ODELL (Mercantile Navy) has returned home from South America after being torpedoed for a second time. His ship managed to reach port without sinking.
Mrs P. Daniell of Austin's Lane who's eldest son Private William DANIELL (20), was killed in action on July 13th, has received a letter from the Corporal in charge of the battalion runners, in which he sends the deepest sympathy of all his comrades, in her loss.
On Thursday, August 8th the Warwick Repertory Company, from London, concluded a successful week's entertainment at the Ampthill Command Depot. Their on-e-act sketches received an enthusiastic reception from a large audience. During the intervals the Depot's Bijou Orchestra ably entertained.
On August 19th prizes were presented to the successful competitors at the shooting competition. Miss Sheila McCarthy. The special prize given by the Duchess of Bedford was won by Sergeant Instructor CHICKLEBOROUGH.
An open-air canteen in Mr Wingfield's grounds has been started by some energetic ladies from the Wesleyan Chapel, who are kept very busy every evening. This is well patronised by the troops. An added attraction is Mr Wingfield's collection of foreign animals which, although depleted, is still interesting to the Tommies.
The Ampthill mill has finished cutting timber. Shipments this month of lumber totalled 187,816fbm which is an increase on July of 67,671fbm. These were principally despatched to Northampton on loco T.C.2596. During August 80,831 linear foot of pitwood was consigned from Ampthill Station.
After spending nearly a year in Ampthill the 126th Forestry Corps is about to leave for Thetford. During their Ampthill stay they have made many friends, and now they are sorry to lose these boys from their midst. The officers and men will always be remembered. Early each morning we have been awakened by the Reveille, and Last Post each night signalled the close of another day. Probably the centre of the social life has been the Y.M.C.A. hut, where we have been privileged to spend many a pleasant evening. Each week we have listened to a good concert or watched their pictures.
Sergeant Herman L. Porter, who has been in charge of the Y.M.C.A. has put in every effort to make the work a success, and to him is largely due the credit for the splendid work done for the men in the social way. Although he came here broken in health after being wounded and gassed in France, he never spared himself when anything was to be done for the men. Ably assisted by his corporal, V.G. Jones, his work has been a success. While there Sergeant Porter has written a book on the work of the company.
On August 8th a special farewell gathering was held at The Pines Y.M.C.A. which taxed the seating capacity of the hut to its utmost. During the interval speeches Commanding Officer Captain P.H.JORY, Lieutenant J.H. GARDNER and Sergeant H.L. Porter spoke of the good work of the Y.M.C.A. and sincerely thanked the Ampthill ladies who had done such good service in the Canteen and the social work of the "Y." Parlour games and dancing kept the guests amused and interested until a successful evening was closed with "Auld Lang Syne."
On Friday, August 16th a Farewell Entertainment was given to the Foresters at the British School. The Company Pierrot troupe, "The Woodpeckers," entertained at the close of which Mrs Chivers (on behalf of the committee) presented Lieutenant Read with a mascot in the form of a large blue and yellow bird. Accepting the gift, Lieutenant Reed thanked the donors and assured them that the mascot would accompany the troupe on their journeys. A very pleasing incident was a presentation by Lieutenant Reed, on behalf of the boys, to the newly promoted Lieutenant H. Porter for his splendid work as sergeant in charge of the Y.M.C.A. That he was a great favourite with the boys was shown by the gift of a wristlet watch, engraved with the words "Presented to Sergt. H. Porter, by the Coy. of Canadian Forestry Corps, as a token of appreciation."
The Woodpeckers have been instrumental in raising sums for charity. The proceeds of their amusing and melodious entertainment has raised the following sums since the 126th Corps arrived in August 1917 –
The Prisoners' of War Fund (Sandy & Biggleswade) £84. 14. 8.
Flitwick War Memorial £28.
Sandy V.A.D. Hospital £16. 12. 10.
The sentiments of the townsfolk were ably expressed by Mr C. Richards who said "in the first place the Ampthill people did not want the Canadians and they were still consistent in that they did not want them – to go." A very pleasant evening then ended by Mrs Chivers being called upon to sing "O, Canada," followed by "Auld Lang Syne" and "God Save the King."
It seems likely that when the Canadians depart the Command Depot will utilise the huts encampment which is on The Pines.
This month the war has claimed the lives of 24 men who trained at the Ampthill Camp. Of these, 20 died in the actions from 20th August in offensive operations that were part of the Second Battles of the Somme.

WWI – Ampthill Command Depot in Ampthill Park – the Camp Diary, June 1918
About 65 large marquees and a number of small tents have been erected, and a large camp has formed at eastern end of the park to receive more convalescent troops who are expected to arrive any day.
The Command Depot cricket team scored an impressive victory on Saturday, June 1st by beating the Hydraulic Works team by 137 runs to 56. The low score of the Luton team was chiefly due to the excellent bowling of Private T. EDWARDS (late of Surrey 2nd XI). Lieutenant BOOTH (late captain of Bedford Alma) scored 52 for the Command Depot.
On Thursday, June 13th an excellent show was given by D.H. Evan's No.1 Party at Olympia. The large hall was crowded with Tommies and their friends.
A draft of 50 men was escorted to the Station by the Depot's Drum and Fife Band.
PC J. PEGG, formerly Sergeant Instructor of bayonet training who was very popular at the Training- and the Command Depot, has been discharged to join the Ampthill Police. Force.
Ampthill Volunteers
The Ampthill Platoon marched over to Clophill and attended church parade at the Parish Church. The sermon was preached by the Rector, Rev Cecil L. MATTHEWS, who is home on short leave from the Front. Lieutenant F.W. BRADSHAW (O.C.), Sergeant E.J. MOORE (Platoon Sergeant), Corporals W.E. PARMITER and J. SMITH, and other N.C.Os were on parade. Major L.H. CHASE (Officer Commanding the 1st Battalion) inspected the Ampthill Platoon.
In early June the Portuguese Labour Corps remembered the first anniversary of the death of their comrade who was killed in an air raid in France. There was a series of village dances to the music of an improvised orchestra consisting of a concertina, mandolin, and a guitar. The dancing kept on to a late hour, when hats were removed, and the proceedings concluded with the singing of the Portuguese National Anthem.
The "Jesters" concert party from the Royal Engineers, Bedford provided an evening of entertainment at the Y.M.C.A. Hut in the Pines, and their programme was thoroughly enjoyed. The "Zig-Zag Concert Party and Bob Barry's party from Luton have also been entertaining at the Y.M.C.A. On Thursday, the "Woodpeckers" Pierrot Troupe of the Canadian Forestry Corps made their debut, with an excellent programme of the latest songs.
A pretty wedding has taken place on June 3rd at St. Andrew's between Canadian Forester Private E.J. PERRY and Miss Gertrude Gowers of Park Hill. The Canadian's Chaplain, Rev. H.P. Pollard officiated.
A book by Sgt. Herman L. PORTER has been published. In a pleasant, breezy manner Sergt. Porter reviews the work of the Canadian Forestry Corps since the formation of the camp in August 1917. The book is published by the Beds. Times Publishing Co. Ltd and is on sale at Mr F. Harwood's in the Market Place, and is priced at 2s 3d. The entire profits are being devoted to a fund for the providing of concerts at the Y.M.C.A Hut during the summer.
There is news that Sapper James T. WILDMAN has been badly gassed in the recent fighting in France, and is lying seriously ill in Queen Mary's Military Hospital at Whalley.
We also hear that 2nd Lieutenant Walter E. GADSBY M.M. has been wounded again and is now at the 3rd London General Hospital in Wandsworth. Formerly a private footman to HRH Queen Mary, 17906 Private W.E. GADSBY enlisted in the early days of the war and left the Bedfordshire Training Depot in May 1915 with the first draft. Walter has the unique honour of being the first man from the Depot to win the Military Medal which he did in July 1916 at the infamous Somme 'Trones Wood' action, and was subsequently recommended for a commission which he took in August 1917 with 4th York & Lancaster Regiment.
26765 Private Arthur ROBINSON of Woburn Street, who trained at the Bedfordshire Depot, has been awarded the Military Medal. While serving as a runner with the Bedfords' Private Robinson discovered part of the line unoccupied. At great personal risk and danger to himself Private Robinson brought up reinforcements and he saved the situation. His younger brother, 27359 Private Percy ROBINSON, died in France in April 1917 due to a serious head injury.
This month the war has claimed the lives of two men who trained at the Ampthill Camp.
23431 Private Harry CARTER (27) of Potton Died of Wounds on June 17
20496 Private Edgar SEAR (35) of Marsworth Died on June 29

Several things can be learned from a careful examination of hay. First, simply looking at the hay can reveal what plant species are present. Does the hay consist almost exclusively of a particular forage crop? Do the forage crop(s) present generally provide good nutrition for animals? Does the hay contain weeds? If so, how much of the hay is weeds and are they of a type livestock will eat and from which they will get some nutritional benefit? Could they be toxic?
The maturity of the hay, one of the main factors determining forage quality, can be assessed to some degree as well. The more grass seed heads present, the more mature the seed in seed heads, and the stiffer and more fibrous the stems, the later the hay was cut and the lower the forage quality.
Leafiness is important. If hay is highly leafy, forage quality will almost certainly be better than if it is less leafy. Leafiness can be affected by plant species present, by stage of maturity, and (especially in legume hays) by how the hay was handled during harvest.
Softness is a desirable trait because, other things being equal, animals prefer soft forage. Softness is usually a result of early cutting, high leaf content, and suitable moisture content at baling. When hay is very soft and pliable, stems and leaves may be difficult to distinguish by touch alone. Soft hay is soft to the touch, but stems can be detected easily. Slightly harsh hay has stems that are slightly harsh to the touch. Harsh or brittle hay is usually stemmy and unpleasant to the touch.
Color is a criterion that is important to the average buyer, and is an indicator of conditions during harvest. The hay of some forage species is naturally darker than others. However, with many forage species, a bright green color provides evidence that hay was cured quickly. Quick curing is desirable because slow curing prolongs respiration, which results in a loss of forage quality.
Hay that receives rain damage after the leaves are dry will lose color. Mold growth on leaves and stems and bleaching from sunlight will also cause loss of green color (although bleaching has little effect on nutritive value). Baling at a high moisture content can cause high temperatures in the bales that result in tan to brown or black colors.
It's possible to learn something from simply giving hay a good whack! Dusty hay is usually caused by soil being thrown into the hay by rake teeth hitting soil. Hay being excessively dry at baling also can cause dustiness.
Visual inspection can detect foreign items that shouldn't be present. Tools, sticks, rocks, wire, snakes, items of clothing, and cow chips have all been found in hay! Though such items increase hay weight and volume, they obviously are undesirable.
Yes, a person can learn some important things about hay just by looking at it. However, this approach doesn't do an adequate job of determining the nutritional value of hay. The characteristics that can be observed by touching, smelling, or looking at hay are merely indicators of hay quality and not measurements.
Visual examination of hay can be helpful in some situations, but make no mistake about it, there is no substitute for having hay tested.


SAMSONITE has his peak run today after a 6 month lay-off and he should strip fitter today after two fair comeback runs over the C&D. Kennedy takes the ride this time around and if overcoming the tricky draw, we make him the one to beat. JET STREAM has dropped in the ratings after two fair post maiden attempts. He returs from a short lay-off, but that shouldn't be of any concern and with some better luck in running this time around (in contrast to his last two efforts), he should be a strong challen- ger here. SPACE MERCHANT has made good improvement since returning from that long lay-off in late Feb- ruary. Both of his comeback runs came over this C&D and on his last start, he must be considered. SOV- EREIGN SOLDIER finished just behind the 6 last time out. He took a hold of the bit in the early parts of that run and if settling better this time around, he should go very close.

Review: be quiet! Silent Loop 240mm
by Parm Mann on 10 October 2016, 16:10
Tags: be-quiet
Quick Link: HEXUS.net/qac7on
Page Jump: ========== 1 - Introduction 2 - Test Methodology and Performance 3 - Conclusion
It has taken a while for be quiet! to hop aboard the liquid-cooling bandwagon, but good things come to those who wait, and if you're a fan of the company's low-noise solutions, you'll appreciate the fact that the Silent Loop 240mm almost lives up to its name.
Priced at around £115 and introduced in the middle of the new Silent Loop range, this 240mm solution is sandwiched between a 120mm option (£95) and a range-topping 280mm unit (£130).
On the face of things, be quiet!'s all-in-one solution doesn't look too dissimilar to the dozens of others that have flooded the market in recent years. Plenty have shown stellar cooling potential, yet if an ultra-quiet PC is your target, existing options have tended to fall short due to pumps that are noisier than we'd like or fans that simply aren't quiet enough.
Considering the company name, it's no surprise that be quiet! is aiming to go one better, but can an all-in-one closed loop really deliver silence? The Silent Loop branding should, of course, be taken with a pinch of salt, as two fans and a 2,200rpm pump are going to create some noise - yet the question is how much?
That's what we're here to find out and we can start by confirming that be quiet!'s manufacturing partner is Alphacool, a German outfit who isn't short on experience having previously built liquid coolers for the likes of Cooler Master and Fractal Design. The 240mm Silent Loop shares plenty of resemblance, with a 277mm x 124mm x 55mm radiator attached to a low-profile pump via flexible, bend-protected tubes measuring 39cm in length.
What sets the package apart is the inner workings of the pump. In an effort to cut noise down, all Silent Loop coolers use what's called a "reverse flow" technique, whereby "the pump draws in the liquid coolant from an outer cavity of the pump housing across the base plate and discharges the warmed liquid coolant through a second level inside."
According to be quiet!, this particular flow arrangement results in smoother operation and less vibration, presumably with minimal impact on performance. And the good news is that it appears to work. We've tested our fair share of all-in-one 240mm liquid coolers over the years, and we can say with no hesitation that the Silent Loop is without a doubt the quietest we've experienced.
Build quality, as you'd expect from be quiet!, is good throughout, as is the finish on the nickel-plated cold-plate. A refill port is available for long-term maintenance - the manufacturer suggests changing the liquid every two years - and a three-year warranty helps provide a little extra peace of mind.
Everything needed to get up and running is included in the box, and on our Intel Z170 platform it's as simple as holding a backplate to the rear of the motherboard and clamping the pump using the supplied fixings. We do prefer backplates that can be clamped down prior to pump attachment, yet while be quiet!'s setup requires a little patience during alignment, it's hardly difficult.
All the latest Intel and AMD sockets are supported, with the relevant parts labelled for easy identification, and we like that be quiet! includes a good-sized tube of thermal paste to allow for any re-mounts further down the road. Last but not least, the bundled fans are better than most as the Silent Loop 240mm ships with a pair of 120mm Pure Wings 2 PWM units. Capable blowers, though if you follow your fans, you might be ruing the fact that be quiet! didn't go with its range-topping Silent Wings 3, complete with fluid-dynamic bearings and six-pole motor.
Get the cooler up and running and it's a good-looking thing, freeing up space around the CPU socket and reducing the load on the motherboard when compared to a towering air cooler. The Silent Loop 240mm isn't as snazzy as some of its competitors - you won't find any LEDs, expansion opportunities or software additions - yet in our estimation the simplicity is part of the appeal. A single three-pin cable powers the pump and a four-pin splitter allows both fans to attach to a single header. Nice and tidy, now let's see if performance is up to scratch.

Marcel Khalife, 'Dylan of the Middle East' Lebanese oud virtuoso Marcel Khalife is known throughout the world as an artistic revolutionary and cultural icon — except in the U.S. Khalife hopes to change that on his current American tour. NPR's Neda Ulaby has a profile.
Lebanese musician Marcel Khalife is known throughout the world as an artistic revolutionary and cultural icon... though not in the United States. Khalife, master of the oud, an Arabic lute, hopes to change that on his current American tour.
As NPR's Neda Ulaby reports, Khalife is sometimes called "the Bob Dylan of the Middle East." His numerous fans sing along to every song. His intense and emotional songs seem to have a power beyond mere words and music.
Khalife combines ancient Arabic musical traditions with Western elements and instruments, including piano and upright bass.
Khalife is touring the U.S. through mid-November with a band that includes his two sons. Pianist Rami recently graduated from Juilliard and his brother Bachar is a percussionist.


Then this is a book that you definitely need!
I've had the pleasure to not only have met and learned from Kevin Hogan, but also to spent time with him and enjoyed his company.
When Kevin asked me to read his new book, "The 168 Hour Week" I jumped at the chance. Everything I've read of Kevin's totally rocked my world in regards to what I needed it for. Kevin mentioned this book when we met last and now it was ready. His book on how to beat Procrastination and be immensely productive was now borne and I got the chance to read it.

Q: iPhone, float textures I need to have GL_RGBA32F as internal format, but i do not get this in OpenGL ES implementation. Instead of this i get only GL_FLOAT as a texture data type. The OES_texture_float spec has nothing to say what's inside. So i do not know, whether my texture data will be normalized to [0, 1] or not. Basically i need to store in texture unclamped texture data regardless it's float or integer value. How i can get not normalized data inside my texture?

A: Sadly, OpenGL ES treats the parameters to glTex(Sub)Image* differently from desktop OpenGL.
In desktop OpenGL, what defines the actual format of the texture is the internalformat. In GL ES 2.0, it is the format and type values that define this. So if you upload a (GL_RGBA, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE) texture, that's the equivalent of using GL_RGBA8 as the internal format.
What this means is that, if you want a floating-point texture, you use (GL_RGBA, GL_FLOAT) as the format and type parameters. It's a pointless inconsistency between the two specifications.

Independence & Restriction

Experience & Childhood
Waverly parents move to a new country having left China. This creates a constant struggle between their American lives and Chinese values. Chess is seen as a compromise for Waverly but it is also subjected to scrutiny by her mother.
Even though Lindo loves her daughter, she cannot accept her living a life based on foreign American morals and preferences. Waverly, on the other hand, feels pressurized into adopting Chinese values which are alien to her.
The topic of independence is central to Waverly's life. As a kid, she loves the freedom to play on the streets. However, she has to give that all up for a chess career. Her brilliance becomes a barrier to her freedom.
Her mother keeps a constant oversight over all her actions and this further suffocates her life. This comes to a head when Waverly ends up running away from her mother at the supermarket.
Since chess is a pivotal part of the story; many of its characters are shown to be manipulative and controlling. Lindo is a controlling mother who tries to manipulate her kids in order to inculcate good values in them.
Even though her intentions are pure, she uses mind games and manipulation to obtain her goals. Waverly learns the same from her mother. This ability to calculate helps her become a skilled chess player but corrupts her childlike innocence.
This constant warring of minds creates a rift between the two and seeds distrust. Finally, Waverly acknowledges her mother as her biggest competitor and then her well-wisher.
Waverly's success robs her off her innocence. Even though she is just a kid, she is expected to behave like an adult. All her victories pile up more pressure her to work harder and improve. This limits her time to do the mundane stuff that other kids do. Her childhood is arrested by her experience as a gifted chess player and competitor.
Home is where people find refuge from all the anxieties of life, however, for Waverly; home is the main cause of her anxieties. Her family and especially her strict mother become a cause for worry and tension rather than a source of trust and support.
As she succeeds in chess, she gets more alienated from her mother and family. This rift destroys her young life and she becomes more manipulative and distrusting. In the end, she starts to view her family members (esp. her mother) as an adversary rather than her beloved.

Fascia has become the new buzzword in the field of rehabilitation and movement re-education. Until recently its contribution to musculoskeletal dysfunction had been underestimated. We know now that fascia plays an important role in health, wellbeing and mobility. It transmits the power of the muscles, communicates with the nervous system and serves as a sense organ. Many different groups of professionals are now exploring the world of fascia, as evidenced by the explosion of research in this field. However, many physical therapists are still unfamiliar with fascia and continue to think of it as the 'dead packing material' that is pushed aside during dissections in order to visualize the 'important stuff' like muscles and nerves. Physical therapists with their varied skill-set in manual therapy techniques are well-placed to take on this important tissue. Mobilization of the Myofascial System aims to help them to do that.
Mobilization of the Myofascial System (MMS), the technique described in this book, has its origins in manual physical therapy for the articular, muscular and neural systems. Tom Myers' book Anatomy Trains, which examines the myofascial meridians for manual and movement therapists, has been the framework and inspiration for the development of MMS. In this book the author outlines the theory and pathophysiology of fascial dysfunctions. A full description of the MMS assessment and treatment approach is given as well as guidance on ways in which it may be integrated into the other methods normally used by manual therapists. Subsequent chapters offer full descriptions and color photos of the MMS techniques. The chapters are organized into various anatomical regions simply to facilitate learning. These divisions are, of course, artificial, as fascia is a continuum, from the top of the head, down to the toes.
Mobilization of the Myofascial System is primarily intended for physical therapists who have been trained in manual therapy, but it will also be valuable for osteopaths, chiropractors, massage therapists, structural integrators and other body workers who are seeking an alternative way to work with this important and fascinating tissue.


On Tuesday afternoon of March 10th, I sat down with Ashlee Carrozza and interviewed her for "Tell Me Your Story." We were located in the Writers' Center at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and immediately I knew Ashlee had a bubbly personality; the way she laughed and smiled, which indicated that she always looked at the positives in life. I had a feeling this interview was going to be interesting when she asked me if I was ready. Her story starts when she was only eight months old, and her parents divorced.
Her parents got married after she was born, which clearly ended abruptly since they divorced when Ashlee was nine months old. Since they had divorced, Ashlee and her mom packed their things and moved into a house with her Aunt Jeni, Uncle Johnalan, and grandma. Ashlee was five years old when her sister, Jena was born. Jena has a different father than Ashlee. Around the same time Jena was born, Ashlee's dad got another woman, Kimmy, pregnant. So Ashlee actually has another half sister; her name is Alexa.
Ashlee barely sees her now. She saw Alexa once when she was older at a fair. Alexa was staring at her. Alexa recognized Ashlee, but Ashlee couldn't say the same. Ashlee thought her dad was going to marry Kimmy, but something happened and they broke up. Kimmy would want to see Ashlee behind Ashlee's dad's back because Kimmy hated him, but Ashlee just couldn't do that.
I then asked Ashlee if she knew how her sister felt about not seeing her father at all.
Ashlee then lived with her family, Aunt Karen, Uncle Louis, and cousins Sandy and Samantha on Saint Claire Street in Bridgeville. They lived there for a year before moving to Battleridge because the house was falling apart. They moved into a house, but her mother didn't have a job, so her uncle was actually paying for it.
This house was Ashlee's favorite. It had a giant hill for sled riding, a fire pit, and a pavilion. The woods were practically in her backyard and they always went exploring through them. They had two cats at this house, Sylvester and Boots. Living there really rooted Ashlee's love for nature and animals.
Ashlee also had a neighbor named George who played a large role in her life. He would always go places with them. They always hung out at his house and he helped them build bonfires and such. I asked her again if she remembered him and if she liked him.
Ashlee started the 4th grade then. She then moved in with her mother's boyfriend. He had a daughter named Savannah. Ashlee had to switch schools because of the move and she remembered that experience quite well. She only had two best friends from her old school. She hated her 4th grade teacher. And when I say she hated her, I mean, she HATED her. Ashlee emphasized that very well for me. It was because her teacher had Ashlee's own mother in school and didn't like her at all. She apparently failed Ashlee for no reason, so Ashlee was kind of glad to move, finishing the 4th grade in the new school. But at her new school came new people, and all the girls there were really mean and bullied Ashlee.
Ashlee's mother and her boyfriend broke up and since they were living together, they had to move out. Ashlee's sister was attending preschool at their old school, so Ashlee's mother and sister moved back to their house in Battleridge, staying in an apartment that was connected to it, whereas Ashlee moved in with her great grandmother so she could finish 4th grade in the new school, which she did. After finishing 4th grade, Ashlee moved back to the Battleridge house, joining her mother and sister, for the summer and some of early fall before their courageous move to Florida.
They decided to move to Florida because the apartment they were in was too small for them, and Ashlee's Aunt Jeni and Uncle Johnalan already had an apartment in Florida, which they were living in, and invited Ashlee and her family to live with them. They drove all the way to Florida, and had five people living in one apartment. Ashlee remembers part of the long drive to Florida.
She was excited to move to Florida. She was optimistic about everything, actually. She just remembers selling her stuff, getting money, and being able to move to a new state. Ashlee remembers that they lived up in the loft in the cramped apartment. They only lived there for four months though, not long at all. That's when Ashlee started 5th grade. She didn't do well in 5th grade, mainly getting C's. She didn't like her teacher, again, so they ended up moving, again, to a big house, along with her aunt and uncle (her mother also didn't like the small apartment).
I asked Ashlee how her sister, Jena, was feeling through all of this. Ashlee tried to remember if anything stood out, but she noted that her sister didn't really say anything. She probably didn't mind the move because she was close with her mom and that's all that mattered. Once again, Ashlee had to attend a new school. She didn't like the school because the hallways were outside and, again, she had a really mean teacher in 5th grade, who would only give them five minute recess when they were supposed to get a half hour. Besides the school, her grandpa and step grandma lived in Florida with her Uncle Alex and she loved spending time and seeing them. Florida was too hot though for poor Ashlee. She also didn't like the bugs, snakes, and fire ants that Florida had to offer. It was clear to say she wasn't an outdoor person, she stayed inside a lot.
So, she liked the beach, but everything else freaked her out. This woman cracks me up.
Ashlee once again switched schools for 6th grade, but they didn't have to move for this case. Unfortunately, the middle school that was closest to her was the farthest from her friends, so all the friends she made during 5th grade moved to other schools. She had to make friends all over again.
"That school was the worst school I have ever been in."
Ashlee then continued to tell me how her classes were in portable homes; trailers if you would say, and how the AC would always break so the heat was unbearable. But also, their curriculum was an entire year behind Pennsylvania, so she wasn't challenged whatsoever. She made a few friends at the school however, and her home life was still pretty great.
After two years in Florida, Ashlee had to move once again, this time back to Pennsylvania. She was only two months into 6th grade during the move. Her aunt and uncle were moving out of the house, so naturally they had to follow suit. When they moved back to Pennsylvania they ended up staying with one of Ashlee's friends in South Fayette because they were homeless for six months.
After the six months they moved to National Hill and got a small house. Her Uncle Johnalan brought up the rest of their stuff from Florida for them because they couldn't fit it all when moving to PA.
During all of this, Ashlee had piano to turn to. She started taking piano lessons during 7th grade, but when she was little she would always play on her great grandma's keyboard. Ashlee thought piano was beautiful and interesting. It's still her favorite instrument to this day. It was also the very thing that got her interested in music. In 8th grade, Ashlee joined chorus. She would always go to class early to play the piano in the music room. There were only 13 people in the chorus, so Ashlee didn't really make a lot of friends. She was an alto and joined because she wanted to continue from Florida where she didn't really get to experience chorus. She loved learning the harmonies.
They move once again, this time to Old Oakdale. They simply wanted a bigger house and they didn't like their landlords, who lived right next to them. Ashlee, now in 10th grade, dated for the first time Her and her boyfriend were together for two and a half years, but she says that she should have broken up with him way before then. She said she found him kind of mean but since he was her first boyfriend she didn't want to let go. One of the only good things that came from this boyfriend was that he got Ashlee into playing the guitar. He had a guitar and he would play for her and teach her. She asked her family for a guitar for her birthday and gladly got one. She still has the exact one till this day. She loves how the acoustic sounds, calming her and occasionally singing along as she strums the strings.
While in 11th grade, Ashlee's family moved once again, but for the last and final time. The reason for this move was because they were renting the house before, which was too expensive and falling apart, and her mother wanted to buy a house. Even though she had to deal with another move, Ashlee found something to keep her occupied. Ashlee auditioned for Show Choir at her school. She loved choir and wanted to try Show Choir because they got to dance, go to special events, and got to wear sparkly dresses. But most importantly, they got to sing separate songs than the regular choir.
A week later Ashlee got the news that she had gotten in the Show Choir. She was ecstatic, and a little worried about the dancing portion, but all she cared about was the singing. She loved Show Choir, even though it was competitive for the solos. She had fun and it was her favorite extracurricular activity. In 12th grade, Ashlee's boyfriend decided to end the relationship because there was someone else, relieving Ashlee. Three months later Ashlee started dating Trey, who is her current boyfriend. They met in poetry class in school and had theater together. Theater is where the two really started talking.
They hung out a lot after prom and on graduation night he asked her if she wanted to go out to eat afterwards. After eating they watched the stars together in a field until 2AM. About two months into their "relationship" Ashlee asked Trey if he wanted to make it official since they were practically dating. He said yes, of course, and picked June 7th as their anniversary date. He wouldn't even kiss her for three months because she was his first girlfriend. What cuties!
Ashlee is now in college, attending The Art Institute of Pittsburgh, for portrait photography. She got into photography because she modeled for her friend Natalie in 8th grade and then she started taking pictures. Everything fell into place. Bruce had a camera, which Ashlee asked to use and now claims as her own. She's still playing the piano and guitar in her spare time.
She laughs when she says that but I tell her that's a good reason. Seeing what she's gone through and endured, I can understand her not wanting to let someone go even if they are already gone. She and Trey have been together 1 year now and are very close.
Looking back through all her moves, Ashlee is happy with who she is. She said she could have turned out a lot worse, but she gladly hasn't. The only bad thing she got from all the moves is separation anxiety. She doesn't like losing people after so many people in her life have just gotten up and left. Seeing her dad only four times a year increased that anxiety because she found out he was going to rehab for alcohol and drugs. He doesn't have a job or pay child support. Ashlee's great aunt pays for his apartment rent and she's pretty sure he collects unemployment checks. I asked her why her aunt pays for his rent and she just said that her aunt has a lot of money and feels bad for him. I agree with Ashlee when she states that she thinks her aunt shouldn't pay for him because he needs to get his life together.
Jena is doing well too. She likes Bruce a lot, even after rejecting all her mom's other boyfriends over the years. She doesn't bring up her dad, so it doesn't bother her too much; with being a cheerleader she has a lot on her mind. She'll be starting high school in the fall at South Fayette High School, scary for Ashlee to think about.
Ashlee still isn't super close with her mom. She's not the type of person to be very open and talk about everything because she doesn't like to be lectured. So she's always been quiet and kept to herself, her reason for possibly never getting close to her mom. She's closer to her sister, Jena, than her mom.
Ashlee has thought about moving away after college graduation, but most likely won't have the money for it. She admits that she's terrible at saving money, which she needs to work on. She's got her whole life ahead of her and she's embracing it as much as she can. Always keeping positive and making people smile. With her bubbly personality, she can never go wrong in doing that.
Thank you, Ashlee Carrozza, for letting me interview you and get to know your story. I was very interested in your hectic seeming life, but I'm glad to see that you are doing well now and following your dream. I hope your mom stays happy and your sister stays positive like you. It was a great honor to share your story with everyone else. You'll inspire many!

What is a Whole Food?
Use any fresh berries or other seasonal fruit. This little combo is so simple and yet extraordinarily delightful.
Combine orange juice concentrate and sugar in a medium bowl. Add blueberries, apricots, and strawberries tossing gently.
Grind nuts to a fine meal (no lumps or there will be lumps in your nut cream) in a small grinder. I like to designate a coffee grinder for nuts and spices, never put coffee in it. Put ground cashews, maple syrup, and vanilla in the blender. With blender running, add water a little at a time until you have a thick creamy consistency.
Spoon dressed fruit into each of 4 glasses; top with Nut Cream or layer the fruit and nut cream like we did in the video.
Can agave replace maple syrup?
Yum! This looks great! My kidds are slowly redefining their idea of a treat after dinner... thanks to you guys.
Yes you can replace maple syrup with agave but agave is sweeter so use less. Also I like the maple flavor with the cashews, and agave is not as unrefined as one might think.
bryant terry in his peaches and cashew cream recipe in vegan soul food cooking...says to soak the cashews overnight in water....seems to make a thick creme of a different sort...but tasty, too. hope that cynthia got some new batteries in her fan! and ditto on why does jane have vanilla in her purse???
If I am allergic to blueberries can I use another fruit?
Yes Joanne, Any fruit that you like will work.
We've made this several times the past few weeks with some fruit variations depending on what is in our CSA box. Fast & delicious every time!!!
Looks like heaven! I must try it.

Q: Index always refreshing I'm making a dynamic site, and I'm making a reset password through email, and I have this flag in my database so when the user resets his password the value is true, and the next time that user logs in, he will be redirected to the change password page.
I'm working with a single index page with a switch.
<?php
session_start();
$lig=mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "") or
        die ("Problema na ligação ao servidor MYSQL");
mysql_select_db("demo",$lig);
if (isset($_REQUEST['cmd'])) $cmd=$_REQUEST['cmd']; else $cmd='home';
?>

                        <?php

            switch($cmd) {
                case 'home': require('home.php');break;
                case 'pw': require('users/pw.php');break;
             }
             ?>

I made this code so when reset is different than NULL he redirects the user to the pw.
if(isset($_SESSION['user'])){
   if(is_null($_SESSION['reset'])){
   }
    else{ echo "<meta http-equiv=refresh content=0;URL=index.php?cmd=pw>";
        }
}

but the page seems to be in an infinite loop of refreshing.
I placed this in the index.php page, but if
I put it in the home page for example it works just fine, I wanted to be able to make this in the index, so I don't have to put it in every single page of my website...
Making the time for the content=0; bigger is not a reliable option..
Thanks!!

A: Use session_destroy() to destroy the session after the user changes the password, so you only need to check if $_SESSION is setted. This routine I put to orient you towards users that is already logged into page.
function changePass(){
//YOUR ROUTINE
   if ($queryExecuted == true){
     session_destroy();
   }
}

//checking session
if(!isset($_SESSION)){
  echo "<meta http-equiv=refresh content=0;URL=index.php?cmd=pw>";
}

Your meta is always running because is in else statement, taking ALL OTHER CONDITIONS while $_SESSION['reset'] is not null. Other important thing it's avoid use echo metas, use header instead:
header("Refresh:0");
//or refresh and redirect
header("Refresh:0; url=page2.php");

After user login, don't redirect to index page and to all those validation, just validate inside the own user login routine and redirect to users/pw.php
If you don't want to change all your routine checking, the page always refreshing because is not checking where the user is:
if(isset($_SESSION['user']) && !is_null($_SESSION['reset']) && (isset($_GET['cmd']) && $_GET['cmd'] != 'pw')){
header("Refresh:0; url=index.php?cmd=pw");
}


Last night, President Trump tweeted his thoughts on Dodgers manager Dave Roberts' bullpen strategy. Starter Rich Hill had tossed six shutout innings, but issued a leadoff walk to Xander Bogaerts in the seventh. After striking out Eduardo Núñez, Roberts elected to swap Hill for fellow lefty Scott Alexander, who walked Brock Holt on four pitches. He then brought in Ryan Madson, who has struggled in the World Series thus far. Madson was able to get Jackie Bradley, Jr. to pop out, but then served up a three-run home run to Mitch Moreland that put the Red Sox back in the game. The Red Sox would to on to tie the game in the eighth, then hung a five-spot in the ninth en route to a 9-6 victory.

In ecology, crypsis is the ability of an animal or a plant to avoid observation or detection by other animals. It may be a predation strategy or an antipredator adaptation. Methods include camouflage, nocturnality, subterranean lifestyle and mimicry. Crypsis can involve visual, olfactory (with pheromones) or auditory concealment. When it is visual, the term cryptic coloration, effectively a synonym for animal camouflage, is sometimes used, but many different methods of camouflage are employed by animals or plants.

Overview
There is a strong evolutionary pressure for animals to blend into their environment or conceal their shape, for prey animals to avoid predators and for predators to be able to avoid detection by prey. Exceptions include large herbivores without natural enemies, brilliantly colored birds that rely on flight to escape predators, and venomous or otherwise powerfully armed animals with warning coloration. Cryptic animals include the tawny frogmouth (feather patterning resembles bark), the tuatara (hides in burrows all day; nocturnal), some jellyfish (transparent), the leafy sea dragon, and the flounder (covers itself in sediment).

Methods

Methods of crypsis include (visual) camouflage, nocturnality, and subterranean lifestyle. Camouflage can be achieved by a wide variety of methods, from disruptive coloration to transparency and some forms of mimicry, even in habitats like the open sea where there is no background.

As a strategy, crypsis is used by predators against prey and by prey against predators.

Crypsis also applies to eggs and pheromone production. Crypsis can in principle involve visual, olfactory, or auditory camouflage.

Visual

Many animals have evolved so that they visually resemble their surroundings by using any of the many methods of natural camouflage that may match the color and texture of the surroundings (cryptic coloration) and/or break up the visual outline of the animal itself (disruptive coloration). Such animals, like the tawny dragon lizard, may resemble rocks, sand, twigs, leaves, and even bird droppings (mimesis). Other methods including transparency and silvering are widely used by marine animals.

Some animals change color in changing environments seasonally, as in ermine and snowshoe hare, or far more rapidly with chromatophores in their integuments, as in chameleon and cephalopods such as squid.

Countershading, the use of different colors on upper and lower surfaces in graduating tones from a light belly to a darker back, is common in the sea and on land. It is sometimes called Thayer's law, after the American artist Abbott Handerson Thayer, who published a paper on the form in 1896 that explained that countershading paints out shadows to make solid objects appear flat, reversing the way that artists use paint to make flat paintings contain solid objects. Where the background is brighter than is possible even with white pigment, counter-illumination in marine animals, such as squid, can use light to match the background.

Some animals actively camouflage themselves with local materials. The decorator crabs attach plants, animals, small stones, or shell fragments to their carapaces to provide camouflage that matches the local environment. Some species preferentially select stinging animals such as sea anemones or noxious plants, benefiting from aposematism as well as or instead of crypsis.

Olfactory
Some animals, in both terrestrial and aquatic environments, appear to camouflage their odor, which might otherwise attract predators. Numerous arthropods, both insects and spiders, mimic ants, whether to avoid predation, to hunt ants, or (for example in the large blue butterfly caterpillar) to trick the ants into feeding them. Pirate perch (Aphredoderus sayanus) may exhibit chemical crypsis, making them undetectable to frogs and insects colonizing ponds. Trained dogs and meerkats, both scent-oriented predators, have been shown to have difficulty detecting puff adders, whose strategy of ambushing prey necessitates concealment from both predators and prey.

Auditory
Some insects, notably some Noctuid moths, (such as the large yellow underwing), and some tiger moths, (such as the garden tiger), were originally theorized to defend themselves against predation by echolocating bats, both by passively absorbing sound with soft, fur-like body coverings and by actively creating sounds to mimic echoes from other locations or objects.  The active strategy was described as a "phantom echo" that might therefore represent "auditory crypsis" with alternative theories about interfering with the bats' echolocation ("jamming").

Subsequent research has provided evidence for only two functions of moth sounds, neither of which involve "auditory crypsis". Tiger moth species appear to cluster into two distinct groups. One type produces sounds as acoustic aposematism, warning the bats that the moths are unpalatable, or at least performing as acoustic mimics of unpalatable moths. The other type uses sonar jamming. In the latter type of moth, detailed analyses failed to support a "phantom echo" mechanism underlying sonar jamming, but instead pointed towards echo interference.

Effects
There is often a self-perpetuating co-evolution, or evolutionary arms race, between the perceptive abilities of animals attempting to detect the cryptic animal and the cryptic characteristics of the hiding species. Different aspects of crypsis and sensory abilities may be more or less pronounced in given predator-prey species pairs.

Zoologists need special methods to study cryptic animals, including biotelemetry techniques such as radio tracking, mark and recapture, and enclosures or exclosures. Cryptic animals tend to be overlooked in studies of biodiversity and ecological risk assessment.
