Planes: Fire & Rescue (also known internationally as Planes 2: Fire & Rescue[7] or simply as Planes 2) is a 2014 theatrical sequel to the 2013 animated film Planes, a spin-off of Pixar's Cars franchise. Directed by Bobs Gannaway, produced by Disneytoon Studios and Ferrell Barron,[1] and executive produced by John Lasseter,[2] it was released in theaters on July 18, 2014 by Walt Disney Pictures.[8][9]
Since winning the Wings Around the Globe Rally, Dusty Crophopper has a successful career as a racer. Unfortunately, his engine's gearbox becomes damaged due to too much over-revving. To make things worse, that type of gearbox is out of production, and none can be found anywhere, so he is unable to race again. Frustrated with mechanic Dottie's newly installed warning light to keep his engine performance low to prevent further damage, Dusty goes on a defiant flight testing his limits. Unfortunately in doing so, he has a hard landing with engine trouble at Propwash Junction's airport, causing a fire.
The residents put out the fire with some difficulty, but the accident leads to a government inspector named Ryker closing the airport due to inadequate firefighting personnel. Aggrieved at his carelessness, Dusty offers to undergo training to be certified as a firefighter to meet the necessary regulations to reopen the airport. To that end, Dusty travels to Piston Peak National Park, where he meets a fire and rescue crew under the command of a helicopter named Blade Ranger. The leader of an efficient unit, Blade is initially unimpressed by the small newcomer, and Dusty's training proves to be a difficult challenge.
Dusty's original undercarriage is replaced by two big scooping water tanks with retractable undercarriage wheels on their undersides. During training, Dusty learns that Blade was formerly an actor who played a police helicopter on the TV series CHoPs. Later, Dusty is devastated by a call from his friends at Propwash Junction noting that all attempts at finding a replacement gearbox have failed, and his racing career is over.
Depressed, Dusty's education falters to Blade's frustration, and things come to a head when Dusty makes a forced landing in a river during a fire dispatch and is swept through the rapids with Blade trying to extract him. Eventually, the pair make it to land, and Dusty confesses his physical disability, to which Blade advises Dusty not to give up. They shelter in an abandoned mine while a fire passes. The situation is complicated in that Blade is also damaged, from protecting Dusty in the fire, and is temporarily grounded for repairs. While Blade is recuperating, Dusty learns that Blade's co-star from CHoPs was killed during a stunt gone wrong on set that Blade was helpless to stop, so he decided to become a firefighter to save lives for real.
Lightning in a thunderstorm over a forest near Piston Peak starts several spot fires which unite into a serious forest fire, and the team fight it and seem to have extinguished it. But during the grand reopening of a local lodge, visiting VIPs fly too low and make air eddies which blow embers about, creating a larger fire. The national park's superintendent Cad Spinner selfishly diverts all the water supply to his lodge's roof sprinklers to prevent the lodge from burning and so prevents the firefighters from making fire retardant for their own duties. With only their pre-existing tank loads, the firefighters manage to help the evacuees escape the fire while Dusty is alerted that two elderly campers, named Harvey and Winnie, are trapped on a burning bridge deep in the fire zone. He races to the scene and is forced to push his engine to the maximum to climb vertically up a waterfall to refill his water tanks to drop water to save the campers, as the only other surface water near is a river too shallow and twisty and rocky for him to scoop from. Meanwhile, Blade shows up and assists the campers. Dusty successfully drops water and extinguishes the fire, but his overstressed gearbox fails completely, and he crashes.
Unconscious, Dusty is airlifted back to base, where he wakes up five days later to learn that not only has his structure been fully repaired, but the base mechanic has built a superior custom refurbished gearbox for his engine to allow full performance again which means he can race again. Impressed at Dusty's skill and heroism, Blade certifies him a firefighter. Propwash Junction is reopened with Dusty assuming his duty as a firefighter, celebrated with an aerial show with his new colleagues from Piston Peak.
During the end credits, it is shown that Cad's misconduct resulted in him being demoted and reassigned as a park ranger in Death Valley.

Ferrell Barron
According to director/co-writer Roberts "Bobs" Gannaway, "The first film [directed by Klay Hall] was a race film. I wanted to look at a different genre, in this case, an action-disaster film." Production on Planes: Fire & Rescue began six months after the start of the previous film. "We've been working on this film for nearly four years." The filmmakers researched the world of air-attack teams and smokejumpers by working with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection and sent a crew to the US Forest Services' annual training exercises for smokejumpers. Gannaway explained, "We actually hooked cameras onto their helmets and had them drop out of the airplane so we could catch it on film." Nearly a year of research was done before the filmmakers started work on the story. The idea of Dusty becoming a fire and rescue plane was based on reality. Gannaway stated that during their research, they discovered that in 1955, crop dusters were among the first planes to be used in aerial fire-fighting, "There was a group of crop dusters who reworked their planes so they could drop water." Gannaway also noted that in the first film "Dusty is doing things to his engine that should not be done to it—he is stressing the engine out and causing severe damage. It's great that the first movie tied this up without intending to. We just built on it, and the results were remarkable." Producer Ferrell Barron stated "I think we've all experienced some kind of loss at some point in our lives—an end of an era, a lost love, a failed career. We've all had to recalibrate. In Planes: Fire & Rescue, Dusty can't go back to being a crop duster, he left that behind. He has to move forward."[17][18]
A pre-release screening of the film was conducted at the 2014 National Native Media Conference, where screenwriter Jeffrey M. Howard and art director Toby Wilson joined actor Wes Studi in Q & A to discuss the Native American themes in the film. They noted that the character of Windlifter, and the folkloric story he tells of how Coyote was renewed by fire, was developed in consultation with Dr. Paul Apodaca, an expert on Native American myths and folklore.[19]
Planes: Fire & Rescue was released in theaters on July 18, 2014. The second official trailer for the film was released on April 8, 2014.[20] The film's premiere was held at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles on July 15, 2014.[21]
Planes: Fire & Rescue was released on DVD, Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D on November 4, 2014. Blu-ray bonus features include the exclusive six-minute animated short film Vitaminamulch: Air Spectacular, directed by Roberts Gannaway,[22] in which Dusty and Chug participate in an air show disguised as absent stunt planes Air Devil Jones and Vandenomium.[23] Additional material includes a mockumentary called Welcome to Piston Peak!, a CHoPs TV promo, a featurette called Air Attack: Firefighters From The Sky; a behind-the-scenes look at real smokejumpers and firefighters and making of the film with director Roberts Gannaway and producer Ferrell Barron, a music video of "Still I Fly" by Spencer Lee, two deleted scenes with filmmaker intros, and two two-minute animated shorts featuring Dipper and the Smokejumpers.[24][25]
Critical response
On the critical response aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a rating of 44% based on 87 reviews. The site's consensus reads: "Although it's too flat and formulaic to measure up against the best family-friendly fare, Planes: Fire and Rescue is a passable diversion for much younger viewers".[26] On Metacritic, the film has a score of 48 out of 100, based on 28 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[27]
Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a mixed review, saying "Beautiful to look at, this is nothing more than a Little Engine That Could story refitted to accommodate aerial action and therefore unlikely to engage the active interest of anyone above the age of about 8 or 10 at the most."[28] Justin Chang of Variety gave the film a positive review, saying "There are honestly stirring moments to be found in the movie's heartfelt tribute to the virtues of teamwork, courage, and sacrifice, and in its soaring 3D visuals."[29] Stephen Whitty of the Newark Star-Ledger gave the film two and a half stars out of four, saying "There are enough silly jokes and simple excitement here ... to keep the youngest ones interested, and a few mild puns to occasionally make the adults smile."[30] Alan Scherstuhl of The Village Voice gave the film a negative review, saying "There's a fire. And a rescue. And lots of static, TV-quality scenes that drably cut from one car or plane to another as they sit in garages and discuss the importance of believing in yourself."[31] Soren Anderson of The Seattle Times gave the film two and a half stars out of four, saying "Disney's Planes: Fire & Rescue isn't half bad. Kids should enjoy it and their parents won't be bored."[32] Sara Stewart of the New York Post gave the film two out of four stars, saying "It's generic stuff, unless you're a kid who's really into playing with toy planes and trains and cars."[33] Stephan Lee of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a B, saying "Canny references to '70s television and some genuinely funny moments will give grown-ups enough fuel to cross the finish line."[34] A.A. Dowd of The A.V. Club gave the film a C-, saying "It's nice to look at, easy to watch, and impossible to remember for the length of a car-ride home."[35]
Joe Williams of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch gave the film two and a half stars out of four, saying "Without the kindling of character development, Planes: Fire and Rescue is no smoldering success, but if Disney's flight plan is to share Pixar's airspace, it's getting warmer."[36] Peter Hartlaub of the San Francisco Chronicle gave the film two out of four stars, saying "It's not a poor movie. But it's definitely a better movie for the kids."[37] Claudia Puig of USA Today gave the film two out of four stars, saying "With the lackluster quality of its characters - aircraft, a smattering of trucks, RVs and motorcycles - the movie makes Pixar's Cars and its sequel look like masterpieces."[38] Colin Covert of the Star Tribune gave the film three out of four stars, saying "There are a scattering of inside gags, asides and blink-and-you-missed-it details for the parents. The film's focus, though, is pleasing the milk-and-cookies crowd."[39] Mark Feeney of The Boston Globe gave the film two and a half stars out of four, saying "Most Disneytoons releases are direct-to-video. That lowly status shows here in the pokey storytelling, dreadful score, and generally tired comedy."[40] Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times gave the film a positive review, saying What this Disney feature lacks in the title department it makes up for with fluid visuals and fast-moving action of the, yes, firefighting variety."[41] Linda Barnard of the Toronto Star gave the film two and a half stars out of four, saying "For the most part, Planes: Fire & Rescue is more about chuckles than big guffaws, coupled with thrilling 3-D flight and firefighting action scenes and lessons about friendship, respect and loyalty."[42] Ben Kenigsberg of The New York Times gave the film a mixed review, saying "In 3-D, the firefighting scenes are visually striking - with plumes of smoke and chemical dust - though the backgrounds, like other aspects of the film, lack dimension."[43]
Bill Zwecker of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film three out of four stars, saying "Planes: Fire & Rescue is a good improvement over Planes, which Disney released last year. The story is stronger, there are some wonderful additions to the voice talent and the 3D cinematography is well-utilized."[44] James Rocchi of The Wrap gave the film three out of four stars, saying "As it is in the merchandising aisle, so it is on the big screen: Planes: Fire and Rescue is precisely long, competent, and entertaining enough to be sold, and sold well."[45] David Hiltbrand of The Philadelphia Inquirer gave the film one and a half stars out of four, saying "The animation in Planes: Fire & Rescue is considerably better, the landscapes grander, and the 3-D flight and firefighting scenes more exciting. But you get the same lame puns wedged into a succession of situations, rather than a story."[46] Jordan Hoffman of the New York Daily News gave the film two out of five stars, saying "The meek action plays to the under-10 crowd, but the groaner puns will play only to masochists. Meanwhile, the 3-D ticket upcharge here is a big ripoff - the extra dimension is unnecessary."[47] Lisa Kennedy of The Denver Post gave the film a positive review, saying "Vivid and folksy, Fire & Rescue nicely exceeds expectations dampened by last summer's stalled-out Planes."[48] Catherine Bray of Time Out gave the film one out of five stars, saying "Displaying a weird lack of memorable or endearing characters, this animated effort feels more like a direct-to-video job from the 1990s than a fully fledged John Lasseter–exec-produced theatrical release."[49]
As of November 9, 2014, Planes: Fire & Rescue had grossed $59.1 million in North America, and $80.1 million in other countries, for a worldwide total of $139.3 million.[4] In North America, the film earned $6.29 million on its opening day,[50] and opened to number three in its first weekend, with $17.5 million, behind Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and The Purge: Anarchy.[51] In its second weekend, the film dropped to number five, grossing an additional $9.5 million.[52] In its third weekend, the film dropped to number six, grossing $6 million.[53] In its fourth weekend, the film dropped to number ten, grossing $2.5 million.[54]
Mark Mancina, who composed the music for the first film, returned for the sequel.[55] In addition, Brad Paisley wrote and performed a song for the film titled "All In".[13][56] Paisley also performed a song titled "Runway Romance", co-written by Bobs Gannaway and Danny Jacob.[56] Spencer Lee performed an original song titled "Still I Fly".[56] The soundtrack album was released on July 15, 2014.[57][58]
A video game based on the film was released for the Wii, Wii U, Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS on November 4, 2014, and was published by Little Orbit.[59]
Cancelled Sequel
It had been confirmed by Carlos Alazraqui that the Planes series was intended to be a trilogy.[60][61] A Disney staff member also stated that Planes 3 was in story development.[62] Instead of publishing an Art of book for the first film, Chronicle Books published The Art of Planes (with art from the sequel) to coincide with the release of Planes: Fire & Rescue.[63] However, the third Planes film which was going to be about the future of aviation in outer space was cancelled due to the closure of Disneytoon Studios on June 28, 2018[64], despite the film being removed from Disney's film schedule of April 12th, 2019 earlier in 2018.
Besides the Planes series, Disneytoon was considering making more spin-offs that would feature other vehicles like boats and trains.[65][66] John Lasseter said: "I kept thinking about—I'm a big train fanatic. I love trains. And I started thinking about trains, and boats and airplanes. And I kept wanting to have more and more of those type of characters. [...] It's one of the ideas, that there will be an ongoing series. It almost starts getting into this thing where we fall in love with these plane characters, we want to see more and more stories with them. And then you start doing other vehicles and stuff like that. Yeah. So it kind of is a bigger idea that can keep expanding."[67]

Dinoco cans are seen in the Honkers bar.
Aside from the new title, the Planes logo appears to have a few small changes. For example:
The silver metal has been changed to bronze.
The small star below the title "Planes" has been changed to a sort of firehouse symbol, or the number "2" for countries where the film is titled Planes 2.
Planes: Fire & Rescue is the fourth entry in the Cars franchise.
In addition to car-ification and plane-ification, some aspects of Piston Peak National Park appear to be train-ified.
Known as a SEAT (Single Engine Air Tanker), crop dusters were among the first wildfire air attack aircraft. The first operational air tanker was a repurposed crop duster, which made the first air drop on the Mendocino National Forest in 1955.[68]
Blade Ranger and Windlifter are both helicopters, so filmmakers turned to world-renowned aerobatic helicopter pilot Chuck Aaron to ensure they captured the helicopter flight authentically. Blade Ranger pulls some tricky maneuvers in the film that were reviewed and validated by Aaron.[68]
The film's setting is inspired by elements from a host of national parks, including Yosemite and Yellowstone.[68]
National Parks Director Jonathan Jarvis was invited to Disneytoon Studios to view the film. He was thrilled with the attention to detail like the inclusion of rocking chairs in front of the fireplace.[68]
Yellowstone's Old Faithful Inn served as inspiration for the film's Grand Fusel Lodge.[68]
The railway station attached to the Grand Fusel Lodge was inspired by an actual station that once existed near Yellowstone's north entrance and was designed by Robert Reamer, the architect of the Old Faithful Inn.[68]
Playing upon the theme of second chances and based on filmmakers' real-life observations during research trips to aerial firefighting stations, much of the Piston Peak Air Attack Base set is made up of repurposed structures. Filmmakers learned that budgets are traditionally stretched by reusing items, so they incorporated the practice in Planes: Fire & Rescue. Maru is the ringleader when it comes to repurposing, repeating the mantra, 'It's better than new.'[68]
A picture of Lightning McQueen is seen on a racing newspaper that Sparky was reading, while Sarge was seen on a photo in Mayday's garage.
Mayday states that he uses Rust-eze Medicated Bumper Ointment.
The "red stuff" being dropped from the airplanes is Long Term Fire Retardant called Phos-Chek. It has been used by the US Forest Service for 50 years, and is used to create a containment line around a wildfire. It is dropped as a liquid, and will remain effective until it is washed off by heavy rain. The red color is used so pilots can see where to drop the next load to tie in with the line of previous drops.
Blade Ranger was in a series called CHoPs (about the California Helicopter Patrol) with his partner Nick Lopez. Lopez is voiced by Erik Estrada, who played Ponch in the real TV series CHiPs (about the California Highway Patrol). Additionally, CHiPs and the fictional CHoPs both lasted for 139 episodes (in the hangar, Dipper describes the show as "139 episodes of law-breaking love"). Also, animator Piero Piluso watched every episode of CHiPs to ensure the accuracy of CHoPs.[69]
The "Howard the Truck" video is a parody of Howard the Duck, a 1986 film based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name.
Animators created more than 2.5 million trees.[69]
1,224 shots are featured in the movie, and half had visual effects.[69]
The film is dedicated to the courageous firefighters who risk their lives every day.[69]
The Honkers bar is a parody of the real-life Hooters.
"In the movie, there's a scene where a new character named Blade takes Dusty Crophopper into a mine to protect him from a fire," explains Planes: Fire & Rescue director Bobs Gannaway. "Well, that sequence is based on a true story. A firefighter named Pulaski saved his crew by taking them into a mine in Idaho during 1910's Great Idaho Fire. In honor of the famous firefighter, we named our yellow fire truck in the movie Pulaski. It's an absolute honor to have him represented in the film."
This is Disneytoon Studios' only film to be produced in a 2.39:1 widescreen aspect ratio rather than either of the three different widescreen ratios (1.66:1, 1.78:1, or 1.85:1).
This is the last Disneytoon Studios film to be rated PG by the MPAA and to be released in theaters.
This is the first Disney animated sequel to be rated PG by the MPAA.
During the lodge evacuation scene, there is a biplane trying to get its engine started so it can take off. The propeller blades on the biplane are obviously pitched in the wrong direction to pull the airplane forward with the engine running, and would push it backwards instead.
In the movie, the red and green navigation lights are visible from aircraft in positions where they would not be visible in real life. The red light would be visible only through an arc of 110 degrees from straight ahead to port. The green light would be visible only through an arc of 110 degrees from straight ahead to starboard. This means that you would only see both red and green navigation lights if you were looking head on to the aircraft, and would see neither red nor green if within an arc of 140 degrees centered on straight behind (70 degrees either side).
In the lodge is a wood carving, asking the question: "What is the hopping motion observed in deer refered to as?" This has "referred" misspelled.

Three More 'SNL' Cast Members Are Leaving the Show
Tagged: cast, Leaving, Members, show, SNL
Live from New York, it won't be Alex Moffat, Melissa Villaseñor, and Aristotle Athari on the next season of Saturday Night Live.

The cast members are not expected to return for the 48th season of the hit NBC show, according to a report in Variety. Their surprise exit is part of a continuing trend on SNL, which has seen several high-profile cast members depart from its ranks. Earlier this year, actors Kate McKinnon, Aidy Bryant, Kyle Mooney, and Pete Davidson announced that they were leaving SNL.
News of the cast shakeup is jarring but not unprecedented. SNL had another mass exodus in 2012, when Abby Elliott, Andy Samberg, and Kristen Wiig, and Jason Sudeikis left the show.
To pay tribute to Moffat, Villaseñor, and Athari, here's a look at some of their best SNL moments.

Alex Moffat
Moffat is best known for his deer-in-the-headlights impression of Eric Trump and the Weekend Update character The Guy Who Just Bought a Boat.
Veteran Villaseñor joined the show, with Moffat, in 2016. She will be remembered for her spot-on impressions, which included Christina Aguilera and Sarah Silverman.
Aristotle Athari
Athari was one of SNL's newest featured players, joining the show in 2021. His brief stint included a memorable Weekend Update character named Laughintosh 3000.

Many - see section below.
Birds are bipedal, warm-blooded, egg-laying vertebrates characterized primarily by feathers, forelimbs modified as wings, and hollow bones.
Birds range in size from the tiny hummingbirds to the huge Ostrich and Emu. Depending on taxonomic viewpoint, there are between about 8,800-10,200 living bird species (and about 120-130 which have become extinct in the span of human history) in the world, making them the most diverse class of terrestrial vertebrates.
Birds are a very differentiated class, with some feeding on nectar, seeds, insects, rodents, fish, carrion, or other birds. Most birds are diurnal, or active during the day. Some birds, such as the owls and nightjars, are nocturnal or crepuscular (active during twilight hours). Many birds migrate long distances to utilise optimum habitats (e.g., Arctic Tern) while others spend almost all their time at sea (e.g. the Wandering Albatross). Some, such as frigatebirds, stay aloft for days at a time, even sleeping on the wing.
Common characteristics of birds include a bony beak with no teeth, the laying of hard-shelled eggs, high metabolic rate, and a light but strong skeleton. Most birds are characterised by flight, though the ratites are flightless, and several other species, particularly on islands, have also lost this ability. Flightless birds include the penguins, Ostrich, kiwi, and the extinct Dodo. Flightless species are vulnerable to extinction when humans or the mammals they introduce arrive in their habitat, for example the Great Auk, flightless rails, and the moa of New Zealand.

Birds are generally considered to have evolved from theropod dinosaurs. Specifically, birds are members of Maniraptora, a group of theropods which includes dromaeosaurs and oviraptorids. As more non-avian theropods that are closely related to birds are discovered, the formerly clear distinction between non-birds and birds becomes less so. Recent discoveries in North-east China (Liaoning Province) demonstrating that many small theropod dinosaurs had feathers contribute to this ambiguity.
The basal bird Archaeopteryx, from the Jurassic, is well-known as one of the first "missing links" to be found in support of evolution in the late 19th century. It remains the most primitive known bird. Other Mesozoic birds include the Confuciusornithidae, Enantiornithes, Ichthyornis, and Hesperornithiformes, a group of flightless divers resembling grebes and loons.
The recently discovered dromaeosaur, Cryptovolans, was capable of powered flight, contained a keel and had ribs with uncinate processes. In fact, Cryptovolans makes a better "bird" than Archaeopteryx which is missing some of these modern bird features. Because of this, some paleontologists have suggested that dromaeosaurs are actually basal birds whose larger members are secondarily flightless. Evidence for this theory is currently inconclusive.
It should be noted that although ornithischian (bird-hipped) dinosaurs share the same hip structure as birds, birds actually originated from the saurischian (lizard-hipped) dinosaurs, and thus arrived at their hip structure condition independently. In fact, the bird-like hip structure developed a third time among a peculiar group of theropods, the Therizinosauridae.
Modern birds are classified in Neornithes, which are split into the Paleognathae and Neognathae. The paleognaths include the tinamous (found only in Central and South America) and the ratites. The ratites are large flightless birds, and include ostriches, cassowaries, kiwis and emus; some scientists suspect that the ratites represent an artificial grouping of birds which have independently lost the ability to fly, others contend that the ratites never had the ability to fly and are more directly related to the dinosaurs. The basal divergence from the remaining Neognathes was that of the Galloanseri, the superorder containing the Anseriformes (ducks, geese and swans), and the Galliformes (the pheasants, grouse, and their allies). See the chart.
The classification of birds is a contentious issue. Sibley & Ahlquist's Phylogeny and Classification of Birds (1990) is a landmark work on the classification of birds (although frequently debated and constantly revised). Evidence for the various orders seems to be fairly good, but the relationships between the orders are in a state of disarray. Evidence from modern bird anatomy, fossils and DNA have all been brought to bear on the problem but no strong consensus has emerged. See also: Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy.
Although most male birds have no external sex organs, the male does have two testes which become hundreds of times larger during the breeding season to produce sperm. The female's ovaries also become larger, although only the left ovary actually functions.
In the males of species without a phallus (see below), sperm is stored within the proctodeum compartment within the cloaca prior to copulation. During copulation, the female moves her tail to the side and the male either mounts the female from behind or moves very close to her. He moves the opening of his cloaca, or vent, close to hers, so that the sperm can enter the female's cloaca, in what is referred to as a cloacal kiss. This can happen very fast, sometimes in less than one second.
The sperm is stored in the female's cloaca for anywhere from a week to a year, depending on the species of bird. Then, one by one, eggs will descend from the female's ovaries and become fertilized by the male's sperm, before being subsequently laid by the female. The eggs will then continue their development in the nest.
Many waterfowl and some other birds, such as the ostrich and turkey, do possess a phallus. Except during copulation, it is hidden within the proctodeum compartment within the cloaca, just inside the vent. The avian phallus differs from the mammalian penis in several ways, most importantly in that it is purely a copulatory organ and is not used for dispelling urine.
After the eggs hatch, parent birds provide varying degrees of care in terms of food and protection. Precocial birds can care for themselves independently within minutes of hatching; altricial hatchlings are helpless, blind, and naked, and require extended parental care. The chicks of many ground-nesting birds such as partridges and waders are often able to run virtually immediately after hatching; such birds are referred to as nidifugous. The young of hole-nesters, on the other hand, are often totally incapable of unassisted survival. "Fledging" is the process of a chick acquiring feathers until it can fly.
Some birds, such as pigeons, geese, and Red-crowned Cranes, remain with their mates for life (or for a long period) and may produce offspring on a regular basis.
Mating systems and parental care
Sources for this section include:
Gowaty, Patricia Adair: Male Parental Care and Apparent Monogamy among Eastern Bluebirds (Sialia Sialis). The American Naturalist 121(2): 149-160 (1983).
Ketterson, Ellen D. and Nolan, Val: Male Parental Behavior in Birds. Annual Review of Ecology and Systematics 25: 601-28 (1994).
Zeveloff, Samuel and Boyce, Mark: Parental Investment and Mating Systems in Mammals. Evolution 34(5): 973-982 (1980).
The three predominant mating systems are polyandry, polygyny, and monogamy. Monogamy is seen in approximately 91% of all bird species. Polygyny constitutes 2% of all birds and polyandry is seen in less than 1%. Monogamous species of males and females pair for the breeding season. In some cases, the individuals may pair for life. Sexual selection theory and the relatively low typical parental investment that males make in offspring would suggest that polygynous mating systems should predominate in the animal kingdom. The real puzzle then is why do males become monogamous at all, especially so often in bird species.
In most groups of animals, male parental care is rare, but in birds it is quite common; it is more extensive in birds than in any other vertebrate class. One reason for this large percentage of monogamy with birds is due to the fact that male birds are just as adept at parental care as females. In fact, male care can be seen as important or essential to female fitness. "In one form of monogamy such as with obligate monogamy a female cannot rear a litter without the aid of a male" (Gowaty, 1983). It is assumed that when such male care is necessary, monogamy will evolve directly with this. It seems strange then that a male?s ability to defend mates and resources relies on his ability to separate himself from parental care.
The parental behavior most associated with monogamy was male incubation. This is very interesting, because male incubation is the most confining male parental behavior. It not only consumes time, but also may require physiological changes that interfere with usual mating. With the extreme loss of mating opportunities, there is a reduction in the reproductive success among males. "This information then suggests that sexual selection may be less intense in taxa where males incubate, hypothetically because males allocate more effort to parental care and less to mating" (Ketterson and Nolan, 1994). It is understood then that the females associated with these males base their choice of mate on parental behaviors rather than physical appearance.
It is surprising that with the amount of time and energy needed, that paternal care is selected for at all. Evolution suggests that a female should choose mates that confer maximum fitness. Therefore, if males contribute to the care of the offspring both male and female fitness may be maximized. "High paternal care has been seen among many species of monogamous mammals and several authors suggest that male investment is one of the primary advantages of monogamous mating (Zeveloff and Boyce, 1980). This suggests then that this mating system whether costly or not must be advantageous in some way or these females would not be selecting males with this behavior.
It seems likely that fitness is increased in some way by this behavior of male parental care, but not so extreme that it is adopted by most other species. Surprisingly, there appears to be a lot of research to show that monogamy and paternal behavior are actually maladaptive due to its cost to fitness. However, is this due to the use of male care in this mating system? While the answer may be yes, it also seems to prevail in bird populations for some reason. What this reason is though may never be pin pointed to an exact answer. Some observations are thrown out by a couple of researchers but with no conclusive data or results. The only thing concluded seems to be that it is unnecessary. For now, until more research is done, we must instead be content to just know it persists.
Birds respire by means of crosscurrent flow: the air flows at a 90 degree angle to the flow of blood in the lungs capillaries. In addition to the lungs themselves, birds have posterior and anterior air sacs (typically nine) which control air flow through the lungs, but do not play a direct role in gas exchange. There are three parts involved in respiration:
the anterior air sacs (interclavicular, cervicals, and anterior thoracics),
the lungs, and
the posterior air sacs (posterior thoracics & abdominals).
It takes a bird two full breaths (inhaling and exhaling), to completely cycle the air from each inhalation through the lungs and out again. The air flows through air sacs and lungs as follows.
First inhalation: air flows through the trachea and bronchi into the posterior air sacs.
First exhalation: air flows from the posterior air sacs to the lungs.
Second inhalation: air flows from the lungs to the anterior air sacs.
Second exhalation: air flows from the anterior sacs back through the trachea and out of the body.
In birds, at each inhalation and each exhalation fresh air flows through the lungs in only one direction. Birds are therefore able to diffuse more oxygen into their blood. Unlike humans and other mammals, there is no mixing of oxygen rich air and carbon dioxide rich air. Thus, the partial pressure of oxygen in a bird's lungs is the same as the environment. This is also why you would more likely see a bird on Mount Everest than, say, a mouse.
Avian lungs do not have alveoli, as mammalian lungs do, but instead contain millions of tiny passages known as parabronchi, connected at either ends by the dorsobronchi and ventrobronchi. Air flows through the honeycombed walls of the parabronchi and into air capillaries, where oxygen and carbon-dioxide are traded with cross-flowing blood capillaries by diffusion.
Other anatomy
Birds posses a ventriculus, or gizzard, that is composed of four muscular bands that act to rotate and crush food by shifting the food from one area to the next within the gizzard. Depending on the species, the gizzard may contain small pieces of grit or stone that the bird has swallowed to aid in the grinding process of digestion. For birds in captivity, only certain species of birds require grit in their diet for digestion. The use of gizzard stones is a similarity between birds and dinosaurs, which left gizzard stones called gastroliths as trace fossils.
Birds and humans
Birds are an important food source for humans. The most commonly eaten species is the domestic chicken and its eggs, although geese, pheasants, turkeys, and ducks are also widely eaten. Other birds that have been utilized for food include emus, ostriches, pigeons, grouse, quails, doves, woodcocks, songbirds, and others, including small passerines such as finches.
At one time swans and flamingos were delicacies of the rich and powerful, although these are generally protected now.
Many species have become extinct through over-hunting, such as the Passenger Pigeon, and many others have become endangered or extinct through habitat destruction, deforestation and intensive agriculture being common causes for declines.
Numerous species have come to depend on human activities for food and are widespread to the point of being pests. For example the common pigeon or Rock Dove (Columba livia) thrives in urban areas around the world. In North America, introduced House Sparrows, Common Starlings, and House Finches are similarly widespread.
Other birds have been used by humans: for example Homing pigeons to carry messages (many are still kept for sport), falcons for hunting, cormorants for fishing. Chickens and pigeons are popular subjects in experimental research in biology and comparative psychology. As birds are extra-sensitive to toxins, the Canary was often used in coal mines to indicate the presence of poisonous gases, so that the miners could escape.
Colorful, particularly tropical, birds (e.g., parrots, and mynahs) are often kept as pets although this has led to smuggling of some endangered species; CITES does considerable work to deter this.
Bird diseases that can be contracted by humans include: psittacosis, salmonellosis, campylobacteriosis, Newcastle's disease, mycobacteriosis (avian tuberculosis), influenza, giardiasis, and cryptosporiadiosis.
To preen or groom their feathers, birds use their bills to brush away foreign particles.
The birds of a region are called the avifauna.
Few birds use chemical defences against predators. Tubenoses can eject an unpleasant slime against an aggressor, and some species of pitohui, found in New Guinea secrete a powerful neurotoxin in their feathers.
Birds are among the most extensively studied animal groups, with hundreds of academic journals devoted to their study.

But the Draken called out: ' By no means, Herr Lazarus, else we shall all die of cold; rather will we go ourselves to bring wood, and let you be free.' And then the Draken tore up one tree, threw it over his shoulder, and so carried it home.
"When they had lived together some time, the Draken became weary of Lazarus, and agreed among themselves to kill him; each Draken, in the night while Lazarus slept, should strike him a blow with a hatchet. But Lazarus heard of this scheme, and when the evening came, he took a log of wood, covered it with his cloak, laid it in the place where he usually slept, and then hid himself. In the night the Draken came, and each one hit the log a blow with his hatchet, till it flew in pieces.


Has Evidence2Success influenced youth health, development, and well-being?
Childhood experiences often affect our future health and well-being. Poverty, lack of health insurance, and limited community resources threaten childhood development, especially for children of color, who face systemic barriers and generational inequities.
Westat is assessing the extent to which Evidence2Success has influenced youth health, development, and well-being.
Westat is conducting a 3-phase evaluation grounded in the principles of culturally responsive and equitable evaluation.
Phase 1: Reviewing the existing data and administering telephone interviews with program administrators.
Phase 2: Conducting evaluability assessment site visits to determine if the program can be evaluated in a reliable and valid fashion.
Phase 3: Planning and implementing baseline data collection.
Our evaluation will help determine if Evidence2Success helped children and youth in 3 communities (Mobile, Alabama; Selma, Alabama; and Kearns, Utah) meet critical milestones in behavioral, educational, emotional, and physical development.


Gain insight into how the Java SE Expert Group approaches goals and topics for the future of the language.
Iris Clark recently published the Java SE Expert Group Meeting Minutes for 14 January 2019 on the java-se-spec-experts OpenJDK mailing list. Clark's minutes are highly approachable and written in a conversational style. These notes provide insight into what members of the Java SE Expert Group consider current, near-term, and long-term topics for Java SE's future. They cover topics that include the proposal for hyphenated keywords (including whether to change the switch expression's current break to break-with.), a JDK 12 retrospective with focus on the preview feature process, JSR 388 (Java SE 13) startup, and concerns about API documentation licenses.
Perhaps most interesting to me from Clark's 14 January 2019 EG Meeting Minutes is the summary of the discussion on the introduction and subsequent dropping of the raw string literals feature specifically and the preview feature process more generally. According to the minutes, Simon Ritter "noted that removing the language feature from the release was evidence that preview features were working as they should." The minutes also state that Brian Goetz "believed that raw string literals were solidified prematurely and work on them continued," but that he expects "an updated proposal for Java SE 13."
How much time should be provided for preview feature discussion?
"Brian summarized that while the preview feature concept was good, the new release cadence may require adjustments for these features to receive a reasonable amount of feedback."
Duration of "six months" is NOT "defined in the JEP describing preview features."
"Volkner ... believed that enterprise users would not move to SE 12."
"Volker observed that the huge code bases of enterprise developers made it unlikely that they would ever compile with a preview feature enabled."
"Preview features are not permanent. Explicit action must be taken for them to remain in the next release. The choices are to become a permanent feature or to preview for another release, just like [incubating modules]."
Does "lack of feedback [on a preview feature] indicate ... nobody was using the feature or it worked well?"
Should a preview feature be used in the JDK itself to improve the likelihood of use of the feature and accompanying feedback?
Any release (including a Long-Term Support [LTS] release) can include a preview feature.
I found the 14 January Meeting Notes of the Java SE Expert Group to be an interesting read. It sounds like the preview feature approach is generally working and will continue to be used to introduce features for preview before committing them to the specification.


You can now hire one of the purpose build BBQs on the beach in Fuengirola for your own party. The BBQs are shaped like boats built into the sand, you will find them infront of the Castillo Sohail.
To reserve your BBQ space, go to the Ayuntamiento in Fuengirola, entering through the main door head towards the back of the hall and turn right into a public room. Here you will find a ticket machine, which works in English. Use this to buy a permit for a beach party at €5.10, then take your permit to the local police station which is almost opposite the ayuntamiento.

A: Please have a look at the http documentation
http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-legacy/redirects.html
I think you need to handle redirection manually

Handling redirects manually

All response codes between 300 and 399 inclusive are redirect responses of some form. The most common redirect response codes are:
301 Moved Permanently. HttpStatus.SC_MOVED_PERMANENTLY
302 Moved Temporarily. HttpStatus.SC_MOVED_TEMPORARILY
303 See Other. HttpStatus.SC_SEE_OTHER
307 Temporary Redirect. HttpStatus.SC_TEMPORARY_REDIRECT

Note: there are a number of response codes in the 3xx range which do not simply indicate a different URI to send the request to. These response codes are listed below and the manner they are handled will be application specific.
When your application receives one of the "simple" redirect responses, it should extract the new URL from the HttpMethod object and retry downloading from that URL. Additionally, it is usually a good idea to limit the number of redirects that will be followed in case the redirects form a recursive loop.
The URL to connect to can be extracted from the Location header.
    String redirectLocation;
    Header locationHeader = method.getResponseHeader("location");
    if (locationHeader != null) {
        redirectLocation = locationHeader.getValue();
    } else {
        // The response is invalid and did not provide the new location for
        // the resource.  Report an error or possibly handle the response
        // like a 404 Not Found error.
    }

Once you have determined the new location, you can reattempt the connection as normal. See the Tutorial for more information on this.

Q: How do I save streaming tweets from twitter-api in Clojure? I have been using clojure for a while but I am unfamiliar with async io that the twitter-api (https://github.com/adamwynne/twitter-api) is based on.
I want to collect all tweets matching a given set of keywords.  For example everything matching "Mary rose" (something trending in the UK right now).  The docs for making streaming calls say to do something like:
(ns mynamespace
  (:use
   [twitter.oauth]
   [twitter.callbacks]
   [twitter.callbacks.handlers]
   [twitter.api.streaming])
  (:require
   [clojure.data.json :as json]
   [http.async.client :as ac]
   [clojure.java.io :as io])
  (:import
   (twitter.callbacks.protocols AsyncStreamingCallback)))

(def my-creds (make-oauth-creds *app-consumer-key*
                            *app-consumer-secret*
                            *user-access-token*
                            *user-access-token-secret*))

; supply a callback that only prints the text of the status
(def ^:dynamic
     *custom-streaming-callback*
     (AsyncStreamingCallback. (comp println #(:text %) json/read-json #(str %2))
                     (comp println response-return-everything)
              exception-print))

(statuses-filter :params {:track "mary rose"}
     :oauth-creds my-creds
     :callbacks *custom-streaming-callback*)

If I then do something like:
(def mary (statuses-filter :params {:track "mary rose"}
     :oauth-creds my-creds
     :callbacks *custom-streaming-callback*))

I get a map of the http response:
(keys mary)
;; (:id :url :raw-url :status :headers :body :done :error)

I think the body part is the bit that is continually updated:
(class @(:body mary))
;; java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream

and have tried this to save the stream to a file:
(with-open [r @(:body (statuses-filter :params {:track "mary rose"}
    :oauth-creds my-creds
    :callbacks *custom-streaming-callback*))
            w (io/writer "mary.txt")]
  (dosync (.write w (str r "\n"))))

This writes the first tweet that comes up to the mary.txt file but then closes the connection - presumably because I am using the @ in front of the binding to r (but it chokes if I put the @ in front of the r in the desync instead.  Also, if I do:
@(dosync (:body (statuses-filter :params {:track "mary rose"}
    :oauth-creds my-creds
    :callbacks *custom-streaming-callback*)))

again I only get the first tweet before the connection is closed.
How can I keep the connection open to continue receiving tweets indefinitely?

A: You should put your "write" code into that callback:
(let [w (io/writer "mary.txt")
      callback (AsyncStreamingCallback.
                 (fn [_resp payload]
                   (.write w (-> (str payload) json/read-json :text))
                   (.write w "\n"))
                 (fn [_resp]
                   (.close w))
                 (fn [_resp ex]
                   (.close w)
                   (.printStackTrace ex)))]
  (statuses-filter
    :params {:track "mary rose"}
    :oauth-creds my-creds
    :callbacks callback))

SA's unemployment rate remains unchanged
South Africa's unemployment rate remained unchanged at 27.7% in the third quarter of 2017, Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) said on Tuesday.
"Unemployment is still at 27.7% like it was in the second quarter," Statistician General Pali Lehohla said at the release of the results of the Quarterly Labour Force Survey (QLFS) on Tuesday.
In the third quarter of the South African labour market, employment was at 16.2 million, while the absorption rate was at 43.3%. The country's absorption rate has not recovered to the level of 45.8% seen in 2008. Meanwhile, the labour force participation rate was at 59.9%.
The labour market in the third quarter had 37.4 million people of working age (15 to 64 years) with 22.4 million - up by 125 000 quarter on quarter in the labour force.
A total 16.2 million people, up by 92 000 were employed, while 6.2 million (up by 33 000) were not employed in the third quarter. Those who were not economically active were at 15 million.
The survey found that there were large disparities in the labour market with women having a higher unemployment rate than men. In addition, the less educated were more likely to be unemployed.
By age group, the 25 to 34 year olds almost have the same participation level as 45 to 54 year olds but their unemployment rate is double that of 45 to 54 year olds.
For those not in employment, education and training (NEET) the QLFS found that of the 10.3 million young people aged 15 to 34, 3.1 million were not in NEET.
The net quarter on quarter increase of 92 000 in employment were driven by the finance sector which grew by 68 000 mainly driven by business activities, as well as architectural, engineering and other technical activities. Gains were also seen in the service sector which was up by 56 000, transport by 34 000 mainly driven by gains in other land transport, as well as air transport. Gains were also made in the trade sector.
When coming to the informal sector employment, the QLFS showed that this increased from 2.4 million in the first quarter of 2008 to 2.7 million in the third quarter of 2017. Formal sector employment meanwhile has shown an upward trend increasing from 9.9 million in the first quarter of 2008 to 11.4 million in the third quarter of 2017.
The survey which is household based and collects data on the labour market activities of individuals aged 15 to 64 years – found that unemployment and education continue to drive multidimensional poverty. The data showed that the number of unemployment people increased from 4.4 million in the first quarter of 2008 to 6.2 million in the third quarter of 2017.
The expanded unemployment rate increased to 9.4 million in the third quarter. –SAnews.gov.za

JUSTICE for Community Volunteer- Valerie Parkhurst
81 signers. Add your name now!
Anita Boutwell 0 Comments
81 signers. Almost there! Add your voice!
Valerie Parkhurst, a community volunteer, has been unjustly arrested and charged with assault, while defending herself from a registered sex offender and convicted felon. We, the citizens of this community, this state, this country, petition the Courts of Broward County and the State of Florida to dismiss all charges against Valerie Parkhurst. Ms. Parkhurst is a 20 year veteran volunteer of her community of Davie, Florida. She has served her community, giving of her many hours and her own monies to better the safety of her neighbors and their children. Among many activities she has been involved with, Ms. Parkhurst was very instrumental in changing Davie\'s footage laws concerning the distance sex offenders have to stay from children. The original statute was 1000ft. and applied to only offenders who were under probation or community control. Davie, Fl. wrote its ordinance to extend the footage to 2500 feet and applies to any and all convicted sex offenders. The Town of Davie was second only to Miami Beach to adopt this 2500ft. legislation in the state of Florida. In an effort to better the safety of children while on the internet, Ms. Parkhurst has worked for years to have sex offenders register their IPO addresses and ban convicted internet sex offenders from owning a computer. In circulation now, she has a petition that would allow a city to set limits to the number of convicted sex offenders that could set up residence in any one zip code. To help the safety of her neighbors, for more than 20 years, Ms. Parkhurst has passed out fliers of violent criminals in the community. Spending her own money, time and gas, she has felt it was worth it to give family and children the opportunity to have this information. On Dec 1st 2007, she was followed, confronted and cornered and threatened by convicted sex offender, Dale Weeks and his girlfriend. Ms. Parkhurst was passing out fliers about a different offender. Dale Weeks, as listed on the Florida Sex Offender Site, is a convicted rapist and kidnapper. As listed in the Sun-sentinel newspaper, Mr. Weeks held his victim for 6 hours and tortured and raped his victim with a weapon. His record lists four counts of assault. His criminal record goes all the way back to 1977, to include drugs and grand theft. Found listed, he was convicted of multiple felony sexual and battery offenses in the state of Florida. Having researched Mr. Week\'s criminal history previously, Ms. Parkhurst knew of his dangerous nature when she was confronted and verbally accosted by this felon.. Being frightened and defensive in this situation is not a crime, but the right of every citizen of every community. Ms. Parkhurst has a right to do her community service without deliberate confrontations from convicted sex offenders and she has the right to protect herself and be protected from such persons while doing her civic duties. We do not need to punish the ones that volunteer to keep our neighborhoods safer.

Room 237 – Conspiracy Theorists Take On Kubrick's The Shining
Ricky D
In Rodney Ascher's documentary Room 237, the subject in question is Stanley Kubrick's beloved The Shining. It explores the numerous theories and alleged hidden meanings lurking deep within the film, conceptualized by devoted non-casual observers, theorists, and scholars. The Shining may be over three-decades-old, but it continues to spark debate and speculation. For many, the film is just another horror pic, an auteur taking on a new genre, but to some, it is so much more. Subtitled Being an Inquiry into The Shining in 9 parts, Room 237 focuses on five very unique points of view, broken into nine sections and told entirely via voiceover. There are no talking-head interviews; his interview subjects never appear on film. The documentary is made up entirely of stock footage, animation, dramatic reenactments, digitally-altered images, and scenes from various movies — sometimes in slow motion, sometimes sped up — with frame-by-frame analysis, sequences superimposed, manipulated, and so on.
The doc itself is structured much like the movie's hedge maze, drawing the audience into endless twists and turns. This is best seen in an explanation of the Overlook Hotel's "synchronous space," detailed in 3-D illustrations of the set layout. Yes, a devoted fan took the time to create a map of the hotel's geography. There's one spectacular sequence in which two celluloid strips of The Shining are superimposed backward and forward over one another to illustrate a famous comment made by a blogger named MSTRMIND, who once said that "The Shining was meant to be watched both forwards and backward." Just think REDRUM!
Ascher's cutting and assembly is entertaining, but without a face to the names, the film leaves a lot to be desired. These theorists are, much like Wendy and Danny, trapped inside the Overlook Hotel. But exactly who are these people? All we are told about this breakfast club of jokers is that they are a journalist, a playwright, a professor, a musician, and a conspiracy theorist. Apart from that, we know little else, and Room 237 quickly becomes something like a PowerPoint presentation. The ubiquitous tagline reads "Look Again," but the theories are as old as the film itself, shedding little light on them for anyone already familiar. At best, Room 237 works as a study of obsession and delusion, and these ghostly figures interviewed are as frightening as Jack Torrance himself.
Much like Jack, the film and interviewees put an axe to film criticism — in the limelight, the line between the insightful and the ridiculous is thin. Ascher's playful montage tries its best to back up some of the wildest theories, but with little hope. The conspiracies don't always relate directly to room 237; the majority often focus on mundane details and aesthetic choices. Why is Jack reading a Playgirl magazine in the hotel lobby? Is that Kubrick's God-like image airbrushed within the clouds? Is the film a metaphor for the murder of Native Americans? Why did Kubrick change the room number from 217 (as read in the novel) to 237? Was Kubrick dropping clues that he faked the footage of the Moon landing? Is that why NASA allowed him to use their special camera for the filming of Barry Lyndon? What is the meaning behind the film's occasional use of the number 42, and what is the significance of the German typewriter? Is there a deeply-laid subtext that takes on the Holocaust?
Of all the wildest theories, the most plausible (and best argued) is Kubrick's possible commentary on his Apollo-moon-conspiracy. Kubrick, after all, was a joker who loved to tease us. But he was also a notorious perfectionist who obsessed over every detail. It can be argued that there is little in a Kubrick film that is there without reason. Coming from such a notorious stickler, could continuity errors be accepted as errors? Is it a coincidence that Danny wears an Apollo shirt? No, but perhaps Kubrick was teasing those very conspirators interviewed here. After all, The Shining was released in 1980, and the NASA/Kubrick connection had already been given birth.
If you put any movie through the microscope repeatedly over and over, you will eventually see something that wasn't there to begin. In the case of art and life, there are subconscious themes and ideas that somehow find a way to creep in, even unknown to the creator. The problem with Room 237 is that it feels more like a companion piece, or special features on a DVD. It's always great to approach movies from new perspectives, but for this critic, Room 237 plays like a video essay. Although incredibly entertaining, Room 237 is mediocre filmmaking at best.

DEB HAALAND BECOMES FIRST-EVER NATIVE AMERICAN IN U.S. CABINET
US Representative Deb Haaland was confirmed on Monday (Tuesday, March 17, 2021, in Manila) as Secretary of the Interior, becoming the first Native American to lead a cabinet agency and securing a central role in President Joe Biden's sweeping plans to fight climate change, Valerie Volvocici reported for Reuters.
The US Senate confirmed the New Mexico Democrat 51-40 after she clinched support from Republicans including South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, Alaska Senators Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan, and Maine Senator Susan Collins.
Haaland became one of the first two Native American women elected to Congress in 2018. Her ascension to the cabinet followed weeks of campaigning by Native American tribes and environmental groups in support of her historic appointment.
She faced resistance from Republican lawmakers who grilled her at a two-day hearing last month about her involvement in pipeline protests, her support of the Green New Deal climate resolution, and the Biden administration's pause on new federal drilling leases.
Haaland will oversee policies guiding the use of 500 million acres of federal and tribal land, a fifth of the nation's surface. A member of the Laguna Pueblo tribe, Haaland will also oversee the US government's relationship with some 574 federally recognized tribal nations.
New Mexico Democratic Senator Ben Ray Lujan, who presided over the Senate during Monday's vote, said Haaland's appointment sends a signal to young Native Americans. "She's the embodiment of the old adage that if you see it you can be it," he said, Alexandra Ulmer also reported for Reuters.

The Iron Throne is a grotesque thing, described as being built using a thousand twisted steel blades. It's big, too. So big that the king must climb steps to sit on it. Up to now, Simonetti had drawn the throne in silhouette. Then he came up with a new idea: he'd set the ugly throne against a beautiful background. The author, George RR Martin, liked what he saw. "The Iron Throne worked... Drogo inspects his bride. Illyrio and Prince Viserys Targaryen arrange the marriage of Viserys's sister Daenerys to Khal Drogo in return for Drogo supplying Dothraki troops to support Viserys's play for the Iron Throne of Westeros.
