Atlantic Oceanic Route
Route No. 1 (Fig. 18) is almost entirely oceanic and passes directly over the Atlantic Ocean from Labrador and Nova Scotia to the Lesser Antilles, then through this group of small islands to the mainland of South America. Most of the adult eastern golden plovers and some other shorebirds use this as their fall route. As we mentioned previously, radar has indicated strong fall movements of warblers from the New England coast out over the Atlantic to points south along this route. Since it lies almost entirely over the sea, this route is definitely known only at its terminals and from occasional observations made on Bermuda and other islands in its course. Some of the shorebirds that breed on the Arctic tundra of the District of Mackenzie (Northwest Territories) and Alaska fly southeastward across Canada to the Atlantic coast and finally follow this oceanic route to the mainland of South America. The golden plover may accomplish the whole 2,400 miles without pause or rest, and in fair weather the flocks pass Bermuda and sometimes even the islands of the Antilles without stopping. Although most birds make their migratory flights either by day or by night, the golden plover in this remarkable journey flies both day and night. Since this plover swims lightly and easily, it may make a few short stops along the way.
|Figure 18. Principal migration routes used by birds in passing from North America to winter quarters in the West Indies, Central America, and South America. Route 4 is the one used most extensively while only a few species make the 2,400 mile flight down Route 1 from Nova Scotia to South America.
The Arctic tern follows the Atlantic Ocean route chiefly along the eastern
side of the ocean. Likewise, vast numbers of seabirds such as auks, murres,
guillemots, phalaropes, jaegers, petrels, and shearwaters follow this over-water
route from breeding coasts and islands in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
Atlantic Coast Route and Tributaries
The Atlantic coast is a regular avenue of travel, and along it are many famous points for observing both land and water birds. About 50 different kinds of landbirds that breed in New England follow the coast southward to Florida and travel thence by island and mainland to South America (Fig. 18, route 2). The map indicates a natural and convenient highway through the Bahamas, Cuba, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, and the Lesser Antilles to the South American coast. Resting places are affored at convenient intervals, and at no time need the aerial travelers be out of sight of land. It is not, however, the favored highway; only about 25 species of birds go beyond Cuba to Puerto Rico along this route to their winter quarters, while only six species are known to reach South America by way of the Lesser Antilles. Many thousands of American coots and wigeons, pintails, blue-winged teal, and other waterfowl as well as shorebirds, regularly spend the winter season in the coastal marshes, inland lakes, and ponds of Cuba, Hispaniola, and Puerto Rico.
Route No. 3 (Fig. 18) is a direct line of travel for Atlantic coast migrants en route to South America, although it involves much longer flights. It is used almost entirely by landbirds. After taking off from the coast of Florida there are only two intermediate land masses where the migrants may pause for rest and food. Nevertheless, tens of thousands of birds of about 60 species cross the 150 miles from Florida to Cuba where many elect to remain for the winter months. The others negotiate the 90 miles between Cuba and Jamaica, but, from that point to the South American coast, there is a stretch of islandless ocean 500 miles across. Relatively few North American migrants on this route go beyond Jamaica. The bobolink so far outnumbers all other birds using this route that it may be designated the "bobolink route" (Fig. 19). As traveling companions along this route, the bobolink may meet vireos, kingbirds, and nighthawks from Florida, Chuck-will's-widows from the Southeastern States black-billed and yellow-billed cuckoos from New England, gray-cheeked thrushes from Quebec, bank swallows from Labrador, and blackpoll warblers from Alaska. Sometimes this scattered assemblage will be joined by a tanager or a wood thrush, but the "bobolink route" is not popular with the greater number of migrants.
|Figure 19. Distribution and migration of the bobolink. In crossing to South America, most of the bobolinks use route 3 (Fig. 18), showing no hesitation in making the flight from Jamaica across an islandless stretch of ocean. It will be noted that colonies of these birds have established themselves in western areas, but in migration they adhere to the ancestral flyways and show no tendency to take the short cut across Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas.
Formerly, it was thought most North America landbirds migrated to Central America via the Florida coast, then crossed to Cuba, and finally made the short flight from the western tip of Cuba to Yucatan. A glance at the map would suggest this as a most natural route, but, as a matter of fact, it is practically deserted except for a few swallows and shorebirds or an occasional landbird storm-driven from its normal course. What actually happens in the fall is that many of the birds breeding east of the Appalachian Mountains travel parallel to the seacoast in a more or less southwesterly direction and, apparently maintaining this same general course from northwestern Florida, cross the Gulf of Mexico to the coastal regions of eastern Mexico. They thus join migrants from farther inland in using route No. 4 (Fig. 18).
Routes used by the Atlantic brant merit some detail because their flight paths were long misunderstood. These birds winter on the Atlantic coast, chiefly at Barnegat Bay, New Jersey, but depending upon the severity of the season and the food available, south also to North Carolina. Their breeding grounds are in the Canadian arctic archipelago and on the coasts of Greenland. According to the careful studies of Lewis (1937), the main body travels northward in spring along the coast to the Bay of Fundy, overland to Northumberland Strait, which separates Prince Edward Island from mainland New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. A minor route appears to lead northward from Long Island Sound by way of the Housatonic and Connecticut River Valleys to the St. Lawrence River.
After spending the entire month of May feeding and resting in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the eastern segment of the brant population resumes its journey by departing overland from the Bay of Seven Island area. The eastern and larger segment of the population appears to fly almost due north to Ungava Bay and from there to nesting grounds, probably on Baffin Island and Greenland. The smaller segment travels a route slightly north of west to the southeastern shores of James Bay, although east of that area some of the flocks take a more northwesterly course by descending the Fort George River to reach the eastern shore of James Bay. Upon their arrival at either of these two points on James Bay, the brants of this western segment turn northward and proceed along eastern Hudson Bay to their breeding grounds in the Canadian Arctic.
In general, the fall migration of the brant follows the routes utilized in the spring. At this season, the eastern population appears only on the western and southern shores of Ungava Bay before continuing their southward journey to the Gulf of St. Lawrence and beyond. Also, it appears that most of the birds of the western segment, instead of following the eastern shores of Hudson and James bays, turn southwestward across the former, by way of the Belcher Islands, to Cape Henrietta Maria, and from there south along the western shores of James Bay by way of Akimiski and Charlton Islands. At the southern end of James Bay, they are joined by those that have taken the more direct route along the east coasts of the bays and all then fly overland 570 miles to the estuary of the St. Lawrence River.
The Atlantic coast wintering area receives accretions of waterfowl from three or four interior migration paths, one of which is of first importance, as it includes great flocks of canvasbacks, redheads, scaup, Canada geese, and many black ducks that winter in the waters and marshes of the coastal region south of Delaware Bay. The canvasbacks, redheads, and scaup coming from breeding grounds on the great northern plains of central Canada follow the general southeasterly trend of the Great Lakes, cross Pennsylvania over the mountains, and reach the Atlantic coast in the vicinity of Delaware and Chesapeake Bays. Black ducks, mallards, and blue-winged teals that have gathered in southern Ontario during the fall leave these feeding grounds and proceed southwest over a course that is apparently headed for the Mississippi Valley. Many do continue this route down the Ohio Valley, but others, upon reaching the vicinity of the St. Clair Flats between Michigan and Ontario, swing abruptly to the southeast and cross the mountains to reach the Atlantic coast south of New Jersey. This route, with its Mississippi Valley branch, has been fully documented by the recovery records of ducks banded at Lake Scugog, Ontario.
Canvasbacks migrate from the prairie pothole country of the central
United States and Canada to many wintering areas in the United States.
This duck has been the subject of a particular study (Stewart, Geis, and
Evans 1958), and its principle migration routes, based on recovery of banded
birds, are shown to follow an important trunk route from the major breeding
area in the prairie provinces of Canada and the northern prairies of the
United States southeastward through the southern Great Lakes area to Chesapeake
Bay, the chief wintering area (Fig. 20). Relatively few canvasbacks proceed
southward along the Atlantic seaboard. A less important route branches
off from the main trunk in the southern Minnesota region and extends south
along the Mississippi Valley to points along the river. Other individuals
of the prairie breeding population fly southward on a broad front to the
gulf coast of Texas and the interior of Mexico, while some proceed southwestward
on a relatively broad path to the northern Pacific coast.
Mackenzie Valley-Great Lakes-Mississippi Valley Route and Tributaries
The route extending from the Mackenzie Valley past the Great Lakes and down the Mississippi Valley is easily the longest of any in the Western Hemisphere. Its northern terminus is on the Arctic coast in the regions of Kotzebue Sound, Alaska, and the mouth of the Mackenzie River, while its southern end lies in Argentina. Nighthawks, barn swallows, blackpoll warblers, and individuals of several other species that breed northward to the Yukon Territory and Alaska must cover the larger part of the route twice each year.
For more than 3,000 miles-from the mouth of the Mackenzie to the delta of the Mississippi-this route is uninterrupted by mountains. In fact, the greatest elevation above sea level is less than 2,000 feet. Because it is well timbered and watered, the entire region affords ideal conditions for its great hosts of migrating birds. It is followed by such vast numbers of ducks, geese, shorebirds, blackbirds, sparrows, warblers, and thrushes that observers stationed at favorable points in the Mississippi Valley during the height of migration can see a greater number of migrants than can be noted anywhere else in the world.
|Figure 20. Principal migratory routes of the canvasback. The major route of t extends from breeding areas in central Canada southeast across the Great Lakes either south down the Mississippi River or east to Chesapeake Bay (After Ste et al. 1958).
When many of these species, including ducks, geese, robins, and yellow-rumped warblers, arrive at the Gulf coast, they spread out east and west for their winter sojourn. Others, despite the perils of a trip involving a flight of several hundred miles across the Gulf of Mexico, fly straight for Central and South America. This part of the route is a broad "boulevard" extending from northwestern Florida to eastern Texas and southward across the Gulf of Mexico to Yucatan and the Isthmus of Tehuantepec (Fig. 18, route 4). This route appears to have preference over the safer but more circuitous land or island routes by way of Texas or Florida. During the height of migration some of the islands off the coast of Louisiana are wonderful observation points for the student of birds, as the feathered travelers literally swarm over them.
Present detailed knowledge of the chief tributaries to the Mackenzie-Great Lakes-Mississippi Valley route relates primarily to waterfowl. Reference has been made already to the flight of black ducks that reach the Mississippi Valley from southern Ontario. Some individuals of this species banded at Lake Scugog, Ontario, have been recaptured in succeeding seasons in Wisconsin and Manitoba, but the majority was retaken at points south of the junction of the Ohio River with the Mississippi indicating their main route of travel from southern Ontario.
A second route that joins the main artery on its eastern side
is the one used by eastern populations of lesser snow geese, including
both blue and white phases, that breed mainly on Southampton Island and
in the Fox Basin of Baffin Island. In the fall these geese work southward
along the shores of Hudson Bay and, upon reaching the southern extremity
of James Bay, take off on their flight to the great coastal marshes of
Louisiana and Texas west of the Mississippi River delta.
Great Plains-Rocky Mountain Routes
This route also has its origin in the Mackenzie River delta and Alaska. The lesser sandhill cranes, white-fronted geese, and smaller races of the Canada goose follow this route through the Great Plains from breeding areas in Alaska and western Canada. It is used chiefly by the pintails and American wigeons that fly southward through eastern Alberta to western Montana. Some localities in this area, as for example, the National Bison Range at Moiese, Montana, normally furnish food in such abundance that these birds are induced to pause in their migratory movement. Some flocks of pintails and wigeons move from this area almost directly west across Idaho to the valley of the Columbia River, then south to the interior valleys of California. Others leave Montana by traveling southeastward across Wyoming and Colorado to join other flocks moving southward through the Great Plains.
Observations made in the vicinity of Corpus Christi, Texas, have
shown one of the short cuts (Fig. 18, route 5) that is part of the great
artery of migration. Thousands of birds pass along the coast to the northern
part of the State of Veracruz, Mexico. Coastal areas along the State of
Tamaulipas to the north are arid and so entirely unsuited for frequenters
of moist woodlands that it is probable that much, or all, of this part
of the route for these species is a short distance off shore. It is used
by such woodland species as the golden-winged warbler, the worm-eating
warbler, and the Kentucky warbler.
Pacific Coast Route
Although it does present features of unusual interest, the Pacific coast route is not as important as some of the others described. Because of the equable conditions that prevail, many species of birds along the coast from the northwestern states to southeastern Alaska either do not migrate or else make relatively short journeys. This route has its origin chiefly in western Alaska, around the Yukon River delta. Some of the scoters and other sea ducks of the north Pacific region as well as the diminutive cackling Canada goose of the Yukon River Delta use the coastal sea route for all or most of their southward flight. The journey of the cackling goose, as shown by return records from birds banded at Hooper Bay, Alaska, has been traced southward across the Alaskan Peninsula and apparently across the Gulf of Alaska to the Queen Charlotte Islands. The birds then follow the coast line south to near the mouth of the Columbia River, where the route swings toward the interior for a short distance before continuing south by way of the Willamette River Valley. The winter quarters of the cackling goose are chiefly in the vicinity of Tule Lake, on the Oregon-California line, and in the Sacramento Valley of California, although a few push on to the San Joaquin Valley.
A tributary of this "flyway" is followed by Ross' goose, which breeds in the Perry River district south of Queen Maud Gulf and other areas farther east on the central Arctic coast of Canada (Fig. 21). Its fall migration is southwest and south across the barren grounds to Great Slave and Athabaska Lakes, where it joins thousands of other waterfowl bound for winter homes along the eastern coast of the United States and the Gulf of Mexico. But when Ross' geese have traveled south approximately to the northern boundary of Montana, most of them separate from their companions and turn southwest across the Rocky Mountains to winter in California. In recent years a few Ross' geese have been found wintering east of the Rocky Mountains along with flocks of lesser snow geese and may be correlated with an eastward extension of their breeding range.
|Figure 21. The breeding range, wintering range, and main migration route of Ross' geese. This is the only species of which practically all members breed in the Arctic, migrate south through the Canadian prairie, and upon reaching the United States, turn to the southwest rather than the southeast. The southern part of this route, however, is followed by some mallards, pintails, wigeons, and other ducks.
The southward route of those migratory landbirds of the Pacific area that leave the United States in winter extends chiefly through the interior of California to the mouth of the Colorado River and on to winter quarters in western Mexico (Fig. 18, routes 6 and 7).
|Figure 22. Breeding and wintering ranges of the western tanager. See Fig. 23 for the spring route taken by the birds breeding in the northern part of the range.
The movements of the western tanager show a migration route that is in some ways remarkable. The species breeds in the mountains from the northern part of Baja California and western Texas north to northern British Columbia and southwestern Mackenzie. Its winter range is in two discontinuous areas southern Baja California and eastern and southwestern Mexico south to Guatemala (Fig. 22). During spring migration the birds appear first in western Texas and the southern parts of New Mexico and Arizona about April 20 (Fig. 23). By April 30 the vanguard has advanced evenly to an approximate east-west line across central New Mexico, Arizona, and southern California. By May 10 the easternmost birds have advanced only to southern Colorado, while those in the far west have reached northern Washington. Ten days later the northward advance of the species is shown as a great curve, extending northeastward from Vancouver Island to central Alberta and thence southeastward to northern Colorado. Since these tanagers do not reach northern Colorado until May 20, it is evident those present in Alberta on that date, instead of traveling northward through the Rocky Mountains, their summer home, actually reached there by a route that carried them west of the Rockies to southern British Columbia and thence eastward across the still snowy northern Rocky Mountains.
|Figure 23. Migration of the western tanager. The birds that arrive in eastern Alberta by May 20 do not travel northward along the eastern base of the Rocky Mountains, because the vanguard has then only reached northern Colorado. Instead the isochronal lines indicate that they migrate north through California, Oregon, and Washington and then cross the Rockies in British Columbia.
Pacific Oceanic Route
The Pacific oceanic route is used by the Pacific golden plover, bristle-thighed curlew, ruddy turnstone, wandering tattler and other shorebirds. The ruddy turnstone, and probably other shorebirds, migrating from the islands of the Bering Sea, have an elliptical route that takes them southward via the islands of the central Pacific and northward along the Asiatic coast. In addition, many seabirds that breed on far northern and southern coasts or islands migrate up and down the Pacific well away from land except when the breeding season approaches.
The Pacific golden plover breeds chiefly in the Arctic coast region
of Siberia and in a more limited area on the Alaskan coast. Some of the
birds probably migrate south via the continent of Asia to winter quarters
in Japan, China, India, Australia, New Zealand, and Oceania. Others evidently
go south by way of the Pacific Ocean to the Hawaiian Islands and other
islands of the central and southern Pacific. Migrating golden plovers have
been observed at sea on a line that apparently extends from Hawaii to the
Aleutian Islands; it appears certain some of the Alaskan birds make a nonstop
flight across the sea from Alaska to Hawaii. While it would seem incredible
that any birds could lay a course so accurately as to land on these small
isolated oceanic islands, 2,000 miles south of the Aleutians, 2,000 miles
west of Baja California, and nearly 4,000 miles east of Japan, the evidence
admits only the conclusion that year after year this transoceanic round-trip
journey between Alaska and Hawaii is made by considerable numbers of golden
Arctic Routes
Some Arctic nesting birds retreat only a short distance south in the winter. These species include the red-legged kittiwake, Ross' gull, emperor goose, and various eiders. The latter group of ducks winter well south of their nesting areas but nevertheless remain farther north than do the majority of other species of ducks. The routes followed by these birds are chiefly parallel to the coast and may be considered as being tributary either to the Atlantic or Pacific coast routes. The heavy passage of gulls, ducks, black brants, and other water birds at Point Barrow, Alaska, and other points on the Arctic coast, has been noted by many observers. The best defined Arctic route in North America is the one following the coast of Alaska.
A migration route, therefore, may be anything from a narrow path closely adhering to some definite geographical feature, such as a river valley or a coastline, to a broad boulevard that leads in the desired direction and follows only the general trend of the land mass. Oceanic routes appear to be special cases that are not fully understood at the present time. Also it must be remembered that all the main routes contain a multitude of tributary and separate minor routes. In fact, with the entire continent of North America crossed by migratory birds, the different groups or species frequently follow lines that may repeatedly intersect those taken by others of their own kind or by other species. The arterial or trunk routes, therefore, must be considered merely as indicating paths of migration on which the tendency to concentrate is particularly noticeable.

It is precisely an underlying fact that routers play a part in giving a new shape and dimensions to a piece of wood to endow meaning and practical shape to your creative imagination. But, it must be comprehended that a router in itself can't do what it is required to do as it needs the router bits to perform its actual function. In fact, the router bits are required to cut the rounded edges, round bottom grooves, V-shaped grooves and many other functions. So, it explicitly shows the relevance of router bits that make it practically possible for a router to be used as a tool for giving shapes, sizes and cuts to wooden pieces. So, there is a need to select the best router bits to deliver the output of your excellent craftsmanship.
How to Select the Best Router Bits
If you are a novice or a pro in woodworking, you need to choose the appropriate router bits to create the wooden masterpieces. You need to select the router bits as per your specific requirements as different varieties of router bits are available in the market that are designed for diverse purposes. So, let's just take a look at the Method of Selecting the Best Router Bits to create a marvelous wooden piece.
1. Different Types of Router Bits
Before getting to know the process of buying the right router bits, it's relevant to categorize the different types of router bits. There is the availability of a wide range of router bits in the marketplace, and you need to have specific router bits if you require to accomplish a proficient task. The varieties of router bits incorporate the panel bits, straight bits, joinery bits, raised bits, rail bits, and rabbeting bits, flush trim bits, molding bits, edge forming bits and chamfer bits.
2. Criteria of Choosing the Appropriate Router Bits
As the router bits are accessible in different shapes, sizes, models, and kind, so choosing the right one depends upon the nature of the specific work that requires the use of router bits. There are certain factors that need to be considered while choosing the exact router bit for your requirement. These factors are mentioned below.
- Size of Router Bit
The size of router bit matters a lot while you make your decision to buy it. The common rule is that the size of the router bit is closely related to its speed. It implies that the small bits have more speed, while the large bit provides slow speed. In fact, the small router bit that is usually about one inch or less, can easily work at the speed of 24000 rpm while the bits of two inches operate at a speed of 18000 rpm. Therefore, you need to determine the nature of a particular task, whether it requires fast or slow speed, and you can pick your router bits.
- Shank Diameter
The router bit consists of four parts, namely shank, ball bearing pilot, body and tip. The shank is that part of a bit that connects the bit to a router. There are two categories of shanks in terms of diameter like one-fourth of an inch or one- half of an inch. The shank with one-half of an inch diameter are ideal for flat cuts and have no vibration while the shanks with the diameter of one-fourth of an inch are preferred for excellent cuts. You can choose the one as per your requirement of making the cuts.
- Drill Speed
The router bits operate on different speed levels ranging from 8000 rpm to 24000 rpm. But you need to consider that the speed of router bits should correspond with the speed of routers to avoid unnecessary danger and make smooth cuts.
- Use of Material
The choice of router bits depends upon the use of the material as you need to have finer router bits for working on solid material. The use of soft wood makes way for the choice of different router bits.
- Quality of Router Bits
The router bits are available in two qualities like that of HSS and Carbide. The HSS bits are of superior quality and a bit expensive but last longer. The carbide bits are cheaper and don't work for a long time, and you need to replace them often.
Hence, it can be assured that the Factors Influencing the Variations in the Router Bits aid the woodworkers to choose router bits. Thus, the selection criteria for router bits implicitly depend upon the nature of woodwork assignment and the particular demands of making out and giving shape to their woodwork to create impressive woodwork.

Customer Service, Technology Top Concerns For Tax Collector Candidates
More technology is on the minds of two candidates running for tax collector in Leon County. John Paul Bailey is running as a Republican. He says that's how an increasing number of citizens prefer to conduct business.
"We can have apps where people can pay by apps. That's going to be the thing—younger people specifically and I think it's going to be more convenient to people and also more customer service," Bailey says.
Incumbent Doris Maloy, a Democrat, says an app is already in the works. But she highlights the importance of maintaining high quality service at brick and mortar locations as well. She says that's where citizens can count on great customer service.
"The slogan of the office is breezy, quick and easy. And that's because we want every transaction that a customer experiences to be just that. We want it to be breezy meaning it's not complicated and we want it to be so the customer feels like it's easy and it's accurate," Maloy says.
Meanwhile Bailey says he thinks there's room for improvement. He says one idea might be contracting with private companies to take on some responsibilities, which he says could save money as well as wait times in line.

You know how they say when you time travel you shouldn't change anything, because you could change everything that follows? The same is true of nature. If you change the habitat, for example add a little pond for frogs to eat your slugs, you might end up with water spiders.
Water spiders?! Yes, water spiders. I have yet to identify this one. I thought maybe it was dead. It was nearly as big as my little frogs. Then I googled "water spiders" and found out there are indeed water spiders that eat tadpoles. Oh no you don't. I scooped it up and put it in the grass. Are those baby spiders on its back? Is this a wolf spider? I see they do that. Anyway, no frogs for you!
The raccoons had a holiday weekend hootenanny last night. Drunk on hummingbird nectar, they had the bright idea to tear my National Wildlife Federation birdhouse off of the tree! and pry open the metal plate on the back! presumably to get to wren eggs. Impressive! But the joke is on you, masked bandits. Wrens make dummy nests! No eggs for you!
I think today I'll stay safe and cool inside and work on my Halloween cardigan. We are watching Joe Bob's Last Drive In — Uncle Sam because that's what we do.

COVID-19: Walton's giving away hot meals nightly to Evansville's Haynie's Corner residents
EVANSVILLE, Ind. — In times of hardship, neighbors tend to come together — to share a word of encouragement, a helping hand or a good meal.
Walton's International Comfort Food owner/chef Tim Mills is hoping his restaurant can provide all of the above — with mindful social distancing — in this new post-coronavirus world to Evansville's Haynie's Corner area. Walton's is providing a free carryout meal nightly to anyone from the neighborhood who wants one.
The first was Thursday evening, beginning at 6 p.m.
"We had to do something to give back," Mills said. "So many people around here are out of work right now. It's what we can do to help, and we'll do it every night as long as we have food to give."
Desiree Tapp, who lost her job at nearby Sauced this week, walked over to Walton's Thursday evening to pick up a plate; the meal was curried pork and cabbage over jasmine rice and a roll.
Tapp said she was looking for other work; in the meantime, she was grateful someone wanted to help, even in a small way.
"I'm thankful they're doing this," Tapp said. "It makes me feel appreciated and part of the community."
Haynie's Corner is likely already one of Evansville's neighborhoods hardest hit by the burgeoning economic crisis, as many bars and restaurants have been forced to scale back or close down entirely in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mills said that in 40 years of working in the restaurant business, he's never experienced a situation like this — on Monday, he was forced to lay off all but eight of his 70 employees.
"Standing in front of all those people and making that announcement was the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life," he said. "All the other restaurants around here have had to do the same, so there are a lot of people out of work. And there's no other jobs for them to go to right now."
Jade Kopp, who just lost his bartending and serving gig at Bru Burger, said he found out about the free meal on Twitter.
"It helps me to know that I'm not out here alone," he said. "Just because you lost your job, that doesn't mean you have to go hungry. Just to know somebody out there has your back, that means a lot."
Kopp said he has already applied for unemployment and would start looking for work next week.
"I've been playing a lot of video games — Pokemon on my Switch — and a lot of scrolling around the internet," he said. "Probably too much of that, but I guess that's a lot of people right now. And I'm just trying to stay positive."
Mills emphasized the importance of people supporting small businesses, like local bars, restaurants and stores during the crisis.
"The big chains have a lot of money; they're going to survive," he said. "A lot of small businesses probably won't, but we're the ones trying to give back to our communities. I hope people will see that and not forget about us."
The rain came pouring down a little before 7 p.m., which probably hampered most foot traffic. Walton's served eight people containers of the pork, cabbage and rice in about an hour.
Mills said he hoped more people would come as word of the nightly meal got out.
"It's just a basic meal, but it's a good meal," he said. "I hope it lets people know that we care and want to help."
If you go
Walton's International Comfort Food is at 956 Parrett Street in downtown Evansville. Carryout meals will be given out each night starting at 6 p.m.

Introducing SF Symbols
Description: SF Symbols introduces a comprehensive library of vector-based symbols that you can incorporate into your app to simplify the layout of user interface elements through automatic alignment with surrounding text, and support for multiple weights and sizes. Learn how easy it is to adapt to different screen sizes and layouts, and improve the accessibility and localizability of your app. Get details on how to create new symbols for your specific needs that perfectly match the visual style of SF Symbols.
Apple is trying to standardize the use of glyphs among first-party and third-party apps. In order to do so Apple is introducing SF Symbols, a collection of over 1500 glyphs, which can be used by anybody! This collection can be browsed via a new macOS SF Symbols app (if the link breaks, you should be able to find the app somewhere in this page).
While we can extract every single glyph from the app mentioned above, for iOS 13 and later all these symbols come embedded with the OS, which means that they can be obtained via a new
UIImage(systemName:) api.
While these symbols are images, they've been created to work perfectly with text (you can think SF Symbols as a font).
In fact, they come in all the possible font weight variation as well:
Not just that, but they have a native padding that allows them to be always centered perfectly when aligned vertically:
They can be configured to follow any (font) point size, and also come in three different variations (beside the font weight): small, medium, large.
The image above use the same font size, but different configuration.
Since we now have many options for each symbol, here's how to configure each symbol (otherwise we get the default image which is regular weight, medium size):
Let image = UImage(systemName: "circle")
let configuration = UIImage.SymbolConfiguration(font: yourFont, scale: .large)
image.preferredSymbolConfiguration = configuration
Symbol UIImages are template images, which means they inherit the tint of the view they're in. We can override this if needed.
Since they work so well with text, you can add them seamlessly in labels with attributed text:
let string = NSMutableAttributedString(string: "I just symbol images!",
attributes: [.foregroundColor: UIColor.label])
let heartImage = UIImage(systemName: "heart.fill")
let redHeartImage = heartImage.withTintColor(.redColor)
let heartAttachment = NSTextAttachment(image: redHeartImage)
let heartString = NSAttributedString(attachment: heartAttachment)
string.insert(heartString, at: 7)
Since these are new API, they're available from iOS 13+ only, however we can extract the symbols vectors from the app above and add them in our assets catalog.

Since 15 May 2020, part of the workforce of Claus und Sabine Ritter GbR in Bornheim has been on strike over the payment of wages to which they are entitled. After six days of strike and a wage payment for some of the Romanian workers, the Romanian Minister of Labour announced on 20 May during a visit on site that she had agreed on a three-point programme with the responsible insolvency administrator Schulte-Beckhausen. This includes the payment of all outstanding wage claims, the organisation of the return journey of workers at the expense of the Romanian government and the placement of workers on other farms with the help of the farmers' association.

Staying ahead of the game when it comes to financial trading is dependent on access to real-time information reliably delivered.
When a multinational independent investment bank and financial services company wanted to overhaul its entire audio-visual system, one of the main objectives was to ensure its busy floor of traders in London would be able to rely on live market data 24 hours a day. The organisation, which operates in over 30 markets in asset management, retail and business banking, wealth management and commodity trading, had an additional request – minimal disruption. The project needed to be started and completed within just one weekend.
Our partner, FitzPro, specified a cutting-edge solution combining new monitors, brackets and cabling with integrated digital signage and software, a replacement switch and control processor, and to meet the requirement for reliable, scalable TV distribution, a brand new MediaStar IPTV headend and Media Player system. The integrator's commitment to rolling out the equipment quickly, meant that the trading floor closed on Friday night, and reopened on Monday morning with no disruption to traders.
The initial overhaul took place ten years ago, and the level of achievement meant that a further 20 MediaStar endpoints have since been added on to the network to meet the needs of the growing team. The bank uses MediaStar Media Manager, the content management solution, to internally administer and oversee all content. This ranges from local live news feeds and international broadcast channels to internal corporate information and captured web pages ensuring it reaches traders where and when they need it. Positive feedback from traders indicates that they are receiving vital data enabling them to respond quickly. This year, the bank will upgrade its IPTV system to ensure it has the latest software to enhance its streaming experience. All new MediaStar products are backward compatible with previous IPTV generations, ensuring that the bank can keep its traders ahead of the game.

Review: After an ancient artefact that grants wishes goes missing Diana Prince finds herself squaring off against a work colleague and businessman while the world goes down a path of destruction. Diana finds she has to use all her strength, wisdom and courage to do this.
Director: Patty Jenkins
Actors: Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Kristen Wiig, Pedro Pascal, Robin Wright, Connie Nielsen, Lilly Aspell, Amr Waked, Kristoffer Polaha, Natasha Rothwell, Ravi Patel, Oliver Cotton, Lucian Perez, Gabriella Wilde and Kelvin Yu
Year: 2020
Genre: Action, Adventure and Fantasy
Conclusion: 3/5
I enjoyed this film although my only criticism this that it is far too long standing in at two and a half hours which it didn't need to be. There are a lot of scenes which I didn't think needed to be in the film. As much as I enjoyed it, I didn't enjoy it as much as the first Wonder Woman film (2017). I think that Gal Gadot is a very good lead actor and when you watch her she is very convincing to watch. You know you are in a safe pair of hands when she is on screen. It was first reported by Variety that actress Gal Gadot was paid $10 million for this film. I enjoyed Kristen Wiig's performance and thought she did an amazing job. Apparently, her role was first offered to Emma Stone but she declined. I think Kristen Wiig was the right actress in the end for that part she had to play. I enjoyed seeing Gabriella Wilde (Poldark 2016-2019) and lovely to see her in a role that is very different. The actress who played the young Diana performed all the required physical stunt work herself at the age of 12. This was because it was deemed that she did the job better than her own stunt doubles. It is a fun film to watch, plus if you have watched the first Wonder Woman film you should pretty much know what to expect.

Vitamins are extremely important to keep the body and mind running at its peak performance. In today's world, many people simply pop a multi-vitamin daily, not really knowing if they are taking vitamins they don't need. Taking more vitamins that you need will not make you feel better or be healthier. It's like trying to put more fuel in your car when the tank is already full.
Why not eat your way to health by getting vitamins the proper way, with fresh delicious foods? There are vitamins that help bones, eyes, the immune system, and more. Getting your daily requirements from food is easy to do and a lot more enjoyable than popping pills.
From vitamin A all the way to Zinc your body requires a certain amount of nutrients to function properly. Some of the most important vitamins are C, B12, B6, A, and E. Why? Because these vitamins help your heart, eyes, blood, skin, and build up our immune system. Below is a list of foods you can eat and what vitamins they will supply you.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is not only good for your vision it helps the immune and reproductive systems. Foods to eat include sweet potatoes, romaine lettuce, and carrots. Just one sweet potato has 28,058 international units (IU), which is 561% of the recommended daily value of Vitamin A.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is well known for fighting off colds and other symptoms that usually come up during the cold winter months. The most helpful food to eat is an orange. One orange has 97.9 mg. Men need around 90 mg per day and women should have 75mg. As you can see this one orange gives you all the vitamin C you need for an entire day.
Vitamin B12 and B6
These two vitamins are very important because they improve the blood in your body and help with energy. Foods that will supply these vitamins are shellfish, yogurt, eggs, trout, and salmon. The shellfish also provides zinc, copper, and selenium. So these foods are doing double duty.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a source of antioxidants and is great for the skin. It also helps supply magnesium to the body. The best foods for this vitamin are almonds, hazelnuts, peanuts, avocados, and spinach. One ounce of dry roasted almonds supplies 6.8 mg of Vitamin E which is 34% of the daily value. There are many more vitamins you can easily obtain by eating from all the basic food groups. Eating healthy is a way to live longer, feel better, and save money by not purchasing vitamins you can get from a daily healthy food plan. Food tastes good and it's better for you!

You can assemble your own diversity reception system for medium and shortwaves for under $700. Entering the world of beamforming and interference reduction has never been easier.
With Cycle 25 on the upswing and summer arriving, you should consider a diversity reception system as your next radio project. Here's a summary of how to build one. You can find all the details on this web site. My design features a city-lot size array of two wideband loops spaced 30 meters apart. Your key components are shown above.
First, your diversity receiver is as simple as getting the SDRplay RSPduo. You can run this standalone for listening, or interfaced with a ham transceiver using T/R switching and input protection. Second, your wideband loop antennas are easy to construct using the AAA-1C active antenna amplifier kit from LZ1AQ. Aluminum core PEX pipe easily forms into one meter diameter loops for connection to the amplifier. Finally, 75 feet of shielded CAT7 cable provides control and signals to the shack.
My original experiments used a single loop phased against my main ham antennas. In short order, I added a second loop and built a two element array of wideband loops. These can be switched between broadside and endfire patterns.
I have been dreaming about an active antenna diversity reception system since 1978 and an article by W5TRS in Ham Radio magazine. So, it's taken me forty years, but I finally have one, and it works wonderfully.
Diversity Reception System – Bill of Materials
Starting from scratch, your total cost for a diversity reception system should be under US$ 700. Your major outlays are the RSPduo receiver ($280) and two AAA-1C amplifiers ($120 each or $240). Next comes some lengths of PEX-AL-PEX ($25 est.) and several shielded CAT7 cables ($40). Finally, add in another $100 for shipping, structural support and hardware. Fifty feet of PEX-AL-PEX does the trick for four loops.
If you read through my articles, you will notice I built all support structures using my 3D printer, but wood is an easy alternative. If you go to LZ1AQ web site, you can see pictures of how many hams mounted their loops. You can also find lots of videos online about diversity reception with RSPduo and other gear.
Is it worth it? I think so. For my money, a loop array diversity reception system is the way to go on an urban city lot. Find out for yourself.

Elections take spotlight at Legislature

By Don Davis
Forum News Service
ST. PAUL - Minnesota's elected officials are looking at election changes.
On Thursday alone, lawmakers considered bills to change the primary election date, allowing 16-year-olds to preregister to vote and establishing a commission to redraw political district lines every 10 years.
All of the issues remain under consideration, and face further committee examinations.
Young teenagers appeared before House and Senate committees to ask lawmakers to allow 16-year-olds to register to vote. It would not lower the voting age, just allow earlier registration.
"The younger you start something, the more likely it is to become a habit," 15-year-old Edina student Eileen Campbell told the Senate elections subcommittee.
Current law allows 17-year-olds to preregister, with them automatically being registered when they become 18 and can vote.
Dan Thomas-Commins gave Sen. Jim Carlson, D-Eagan, the idea for lowering the registration age. Thomas-Commins, a Carlson constituent, said it could help fight voter apathy.
Carlson's bill would allow a 16-year-old to preregister when getting a driver's license.
Sen. Mary Kiffmeyer, R-Big Lake, said she is not convinced that earlier preregistration would lead to higher voting turnout. A former secretary of state, Kiffmeyer said that a better way of building interest would be programs like Kids Voting, which allows youths to cast ballots for people running for office.
Voter apathy also was a theme of Republican senators, who propose moving the primary election from August to March.
"I firmly believe we must move the primary date from August to an earlier date, so the voters have an opportunity to focus on the candidates in the general election," Sen. Scott Newman, R-Hutchinson, said.
Moving the primary to March would add Minnesota to 38 other states to cast votes on the same day in presidential years.
About 10 percent of Minnesota voters cast ballots in last year's primary, compared to nearly 40 percent who voted in the 1966 primary.
A debate that comes up after every 10-year federal census also was discussed Thursday.
The Legislature and governor are supposed to redraw lines for congressional and legislative districts after each census to maintain the one-person, one-vote concept. However, redistricting has ended up in Minnesota courts since 1960.
Sen. Kent Eken, D-Twin Valley, proposed establishing a commission to handle the task. He suggests a five-person panel of retired judges.
Five states use similar commissions, including Iowa.
The Legislature would be required to approve and reject the commission's plan.
"I believe there is a conflict of interest in drawing our own district lines," Eken said.
When one party controls the Legislature and governor's office, new district lines tend to favor that party.
Secretary of State Steve Simon added his support to Eken's bill.
"Voters should choose their elected officials, not the other way around," Simon said. "To some people, it looks like it is the other way around."

Alibaba DAMO Academy is using AI algorithms to fight the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). On February 1, the Zhejiang Center for Disease Control and Prevention (Zhejiang CDC) launched an automated whole-genome detection and analysis platform. Using the AI algorithm developed by Alibaba DAMO Academy, they can reduce the time required to perform genetic analysis on suspected cases of pneumonia caused by the novel coronavirus from several hours to 30 minutes. This greatly reduces the diagnosis time and allows for the accurate detection of virus mutations.
Dr. Gu Fei, an algorithm expert from Alibaba DAMO Academy, performs genetic detection and analysis at the CDC.
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus remains a serious problem in China, and rapid and precise diagnosis is especially important to control the epidemic. According to official information, the coronavirus has one of the longest genetic sequences of any virus, with a total length of 29847bp. In clinical diagnosis, patient samples must be compared with the genetic sequence of the virus to make a diagnosis.
Currently, hospitals generally use the nucleic acid detection method, which can only detect a part of the virus genome. However, if the virus mutates, this detection method may no longer be able to detect it.
Structure of the novel coronavirus
Unlike traditional nucleic acid detection methods, whole-genome detection technology can analyze and compare the entire genetic sequence of virus samples in suspected cases to effectively prevent misdiagnosis due to virus mutations. The platform jointly developed by Alibaba DAMO Academy and Matridx Biotechnology uses the whole-genome detection method. Its major advantage is its significant reduction of the detection time.
In the genetic analysis stage, the system provided by the Alibaba DAMO Academy and Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service team also provides rapid virus genome splicing capabilities, allowing technicians to quickly and accurately capture mutated virus sequences, secondary structures, and three-dimensional structures. This information provides the foundation for virus vaccines and drugs.
Setting the parameters for genome detection and analysis
Algorithm innovation allowed for the improvement in diagnostic efficiency. Alibaba DAMO Academy performed feature analysis on the coronavirus genome and developed multiple algorithm models. In the sequence comparison process, Alibaba DAMO Academy introduced a distributed design for algorithms to improve the comparison efficiency. In the virus genome splicing stage, a distributed de Bruijn graph algorithm is used to accurately detect virus variants.
Dr. Sun Yi, director of genetic sequencing at the Zhejiang CDC, said, "Based on Alibaba Cloud's powerful computing capabilities and the new algorithms supplied by Alibaba DAMO Academy, this platform can support virus analysis. In the future, it will be able to cover the entire range of confirmed cases in a short period of time, laying a solid foundation for subsequent vaccine and drug development."
We spoke with the algorithm experts from Alibaba DAMO Academy, who described about the platform as follows:
This automated whole-genome detection and analysis platform is a high-throughput sequencing platform jointly developed by the Zhejiang CDC, Alibaba DAMO Academy, and Matridx Biotechnology. It provides the Zhejiang CDC with fully automated library creation and distributed computing analysis capabilities for the mitigation and control of the novel coronavirus outbreak. Matridx Biotechnology developed a component for building fully automated high-throughput sequencing libraries, allowing technicians to do what used to take 12 hours in just two hours. Each sequencing process generates a large amount of data. Alibaba DAMO Academy uses distributed analysis algorithms to reduce the time required for sample genome analysis from several hours to half an hour. At the same time, due to the use of distributed algorithms, the speed of virus genome splicing is reduced from 30 minutes or 1 hour to only 15 to 30 minutes. In addition, unlike traditional nucleic acid detection methods, this platform can detect the entire genome of the virus to avoid false negatives caused by virus mutation.
Alibaba DAMO Academy analyzed the features of the novel coronavirus genome and optimized and trained the algorithms based on data from common datasets, such as PDB. Virus detection and virus mutation analysis are based on open-source algorithms, and we designed distributed algorithms to accelerate the analysis process. After virus genome splicing, we apply a model trained using the BiLSTM + DNN method to predict the secondary structures of viral proteins. At the same time, Alibaba DAMO Academy is currently researching prediction models and drug screening models of protein three-dimensional structure based on virus genome sequencing.
While continuing to wage war against the worldwide outbreak, Alibaba Cloud will play its part and will do all it can to help others in their battles with the coronavirus. Learn how we can support your business continuity at https://www.alibabacloud.com/campaign/supports-your-business-anytime

Ellen Trevail, eldest daughter of Joseph Trevail and Jane Rundle, married James Higgs, son of Samuel Nicholas Higgs, farmer, of Whistow Farm, Lanlivery, and Maria Olver (m. 9 Oct 1821 in Morval) at Luxulyan Parish Church, on 22 Jan 1862. At the time of their marriage, James Higgs was listed as a Policeman.
In Dec 1862, James (24), Ellen (22) and their infant daughter, Maria Jane, embarked on that same voyage on the Huntress, with her younger sister, Mary Ann, arriving in Lyttelton, New Zealand on 21 Apr 1863.
Records suggest that James and Ellen had at least eight children:
- Maria Jane Higgs, bap 10 Aug 1862 at Luxulyan, died, in 1863, in New Zealand at 13 months.
- Kate Higgs born 12 Jul 1864 in New Zealand
- Joseph Higgs born 1868
- James Higgs born 1871
- Dahlia Higgs born 1873
- Ellen Olivia Higgs born 1876
- Emma Jane Higgs born 1878
- William John Higgs born 1881 (died 30 Mar 1910, aged 28 and is buried at Linwood Cemetery along with his wife, Amelia "Mena" Higgs)
James Higgs died on 17 Apr 1913 and is buried at Linwood Cemetery. In his will, he appointed his sons, Joseph and James, as his executors, both butchers.
Ellen Higgs died on 21 Jul 1929, aged 88, and is also buried at Linwood Cemetery, along with her husband and youngest son.
Kate Higgs married John Philip Queree on 13 Jul 1882. Kate Higgs Queree died on 1 Jul 1924 and is buried at Bromley Cemetery, Bromley, Christchurch City, Canterbury, New Zealand along with her husband.
[So far] I've found no further records for Dahlia, Ellen Olivia or Emma Jane.
