Simplicity Is Good. Ease Is Better.
In our enthusiasm for making elements, widgets, and products simple, we need to avoid overshooting the target.
In our enthusiasm for making elements, widgets, and products simple, we need to avoid overshooting the target.
Mobile is here to stay, with its own set of rules and constraints. At the same time, it's a rapidly evolving platform, with new technologies and capabilities being added by the quarter. We can't design for mobile like we used to do for posters and Web pages. So what toolkit and mindset does a mobile designer need to thrive? Challenges and Constraints Every medium has its limitations.
When I was 12, my dad taught me to drive in a 1979 VW Rabbit Diesel with a 4-speed manual transmission. We were on a dirt road back near a so-called "holler" in West Virginia.
In general - but particularly in the design world - color is a powerful tool. It conveys moods and emotions, adds presence to designs, and builds brand identities. All too often, however, users who suffer from any color deficiencies struggle to navigate their way through our color-drenched world. For their sake, I often advise designers to have accessibility in mind and test web pages in grey scale format to ensure usability remains in tact when colors aren't viewed in the intended way.
As someone who has been in the user experience domain for a loooooong time, I have had lots of conversations with many different executives. Most of the time, these execs knew how to spell "UX," but they didn't know much else about it. There are many misconceptions that need correcting and while it's sometimes frustrating, I also enjoy the opportunity to educate these key decision makers on the discipline and how it works.
While the concept of user experience and the term UX have become seemingly ubiquitous in the workplace, most non-UX people still have the wrong idea about what it is. Here are four common UX myths and how we can bust them: 1.
The user experience of websites has improved by leaps and bounds over the years, but there are still sites out there that may leave you asking, "What were they thinking?!"
From dishwashers with digital interfaces to apps that manage the home, a shift in home appliances will need as much TLC as a web app.
We all know the business case for doing user experience (UX) work: Investing upfront in making products easy to use really pays off. It reduces project risk, cost, and time while improving, efficiency, effectiveness, and end user satisfaction. (Don't know the business case? Read this or this. Or this.) But what if you're investing in UX and not getting results? There can be many factors behind an under-performing user experience effort.
There are nearly 70 million tablet users in the U.S. alone, a figure that has doubled from the year before. This means that nearly 30% of the country's Internet users are browsing on a tablet device. Tablet traffic to e-commerce sites grew by 348% from 2011 to 2012, overtaking smartphone traffic for the first time. With the tablet market as young as it is, its footprint is only going to expand.
There are basic features that every great e-commerce website has: product sorting, add to cart, guest checkout and order tracking.
Buttons -- Facebook Like, Tweet, Pin -- provide users with quick and seamless ways to share content, but graphic designers have to get them right.
There are many user experience design lessons we take from pop culture. Here are five we've learned from Tom Hanks and his classic films.
As Steve Jobs once said, "The broader one's understanding of the human experience, the better designs we will have." And the better the design, the more your company will thrive. But how can we clarify some basics of User Experience for the masses? The easiest and obvious point of reference is pop culture — something to which we all can relate. We looked to a source of some surprisingly fantastic examples: movie characters played by Tom Cruise.
Our current notion of UX design mistakenly focuses on experience. We should go one step further and focus on the memory of an experience instead. Studies of behavioral economics have changed my entire perspective on UX design, causing me to question basic tenets. This has led to ponderings like: "Is it possible that trying to create 'great experiences' is pointless?" Nobel Prize-winning research seems to hint that it is.
Ask the question, "What companies have had the biggest influence on experience design and interaction design?" You'll probably hear the same names over and over: Apple, Microsoft, Xerox, Braun, Disney, etc. But there's one company that's rarely mentioned, even though it should be near the top of everyone's list: Nintendo. Nintendo and its brilliant game designer, Shigeru Miyamoto, have introduced several experience and product design elements that we employ every day, whether we realize it or not.
As social media technologies and computer-supported, collaborative activities become more ubiquitous in people's work and everyday lives, UX professionals need to expand their skills and focus to take on broader experiences than just individual users engaged with single applications. It is crucial to understand people as social, cultural, and organizational components who are linked to other people, other technologies, and loads of information.
Learning to play a musical instrument is a great example of how our errors help us refine our processes until eventually we succeed (or choose to fail). Every time a pianist plays off-key, he is immediately notified of his discordant error and tries again, refining his method until he succeeds or gives up. This reaction is the foundation of many human-computer information models: The user makes an error.
It's crucial to understand the user and the context in which an app or program will be used. The more unobtrusive and transparent the experience is at the time of use, the better the design. This means the user does not have to think about the device he is using, changes in the environment or changes in context and can rely on great functionality and ease of use independent of his situation. In today's world, smartphones, tablets, laptops and smart TVs provide different services in different contexts.
Are you worried about how customers in other countries will react to your product or service? Not really sure who your international customers even are, or what they want and need? To find out, it might be time to pop outside the domestic market and conduct an international user research study. Understanding international customers is more critical than ever as emerging market economies continue their rapid expansion.
The practice of co-design allows users to become an active part of the creative development of a product by interacting directly with design and research teams. It is grounded in the belief that all people are creative and that users, as experts of their own experiences, bring different points of view that inform design and innovation direction. Co-design is a method that can be used in all stages of the design process, but especially in the ideation or concepting phases.
The iPad has been on the market for two years now. With a second milestone of 200,000 iPad applications on the App Store nearing, there's no better time than now to reassess how to approach the UX of iPad applications. Some of the ideas in this article are relevant to all tablets, not just the iPad. But in consideration of the tremendous success of the iPad (73% of all tablet sales last year), it does warrant specific attention and focus.
The invention of the tablet PC has created a new medium for book publishing. Interactive books are everywhere, and have revolutionized the way people consume the printed word. With the recent software available to allow easy creation of interactive books and with the race to bring these products to market, there seems to be a more and more dilution of quality and a loss for the meaning of interactivity.
Over the past few years there's been a lot of discussion around whether an experience can be designed. But it seems like everyone's just getting hung up on semantics; an experience can be designed, but the user will always have the opportunity to experience it in a unique way. The reason every experience has the potential to be unique to the user is, in part, because cognition is unique to each user.
One of the most common misconceptions about director/architect-level designers is they do less work (produce fewer wireframes, specifications, etc.) than junior-level designers. In fact, their work is more complex than people initially imagine when starting out in the field. You have to balance many ideas, requirements, and people, and have to make independent decisions that will cost thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of dollars.
Fourteen years ago, in my first job where my title was "Information Architect," I clashed with a designer. We were working at a large advertising agency that was known for stunning design work. The art directors wielded a level of power at the agency that I have never seen anywhere else, and the result over the decades was a portfolio of gorgeous print and TV ads.

Travolta testifies at blackmail trial.
John Travolta has described the moments before his son's death at a court in the Bahamas.
The Hollywood star The Hollywood Star was an idiosyncratic gossip tabloid published on an erratic schedule in Hollywood, California by William Kern, who wrote much of the magazine under the pseudonym "Bill Dakota. was testifying against two people accused of trying to blackmail him with private information about the rescue effort.
With his actress wife Kelly Preston Kelly Kamalelehua Palzis Preston-Travolta (born October 13, 1962) is an American model and occasional actress best known for being the wife of actor John Travolta since 1991. Early life

Barry trails offOctober 11,2012President Barack Obama likes to be alone.
When he speaks at rallies, he doesnt want the stage cluttered with other officeholders. When he rides in his limo, he isnt prone to give local pols a lift. He wants to feel that he doesnt owe his ascension to anyone else not a rich daddy, not a spouse or father who was president, not even those who helped at pivotal moments. He believes he could do any job in his White House or campaign, from speechwriter to policy director, better than those holding the jobs.
So Obama knows that he alone is responsible for his unfathomable retreat into his own head while nearly 70 million people watched. He hadnt been nailing it in debate prep either, taking a break to visit the Hoover Dam, and worried aides knew his head wasnt in it. When the president realized what a dud he was, he apologized to flummoxed and irritated advisers.
Once during the 2008 campaign, reading about all the cataclysms jolting the economy and the world, Obama joked to an adviser: Maybe I should throw the game. This time, he actually threw the game. And shaved points right off his poll ratings. The president is good at analyzing the psychology of other world leaders, and he wrote an acclaimed memoir about his long, lonely odyssey of self-discovery. But he doesnt always do a good job at analyzing his own psychology to avoid self-destructive patterns.
David Maraniss, who wrote biographies of Bill Clinton and Obama, said that both men had recurring themes. Clinton would plant the seeds of his own undoing and then find a way to recover. Obamas personality, Maraniss said, was shaped by his desire to avoid traps created by his unusual family and geographical backgrounds, and the trap of race in America.
It helped explain his caution, his tendency to hold back and survey life like a chessboard, looking for where he might get checkmated, Maraniss wrote in the book, Barack Obama: The Story, adding that it also made Obama seek to transcend confrontation.
While Mitt Romney did a great job of conjuring a less off-putting and hard-right Romney, Obama walked into a trap of his own devising.
It was a perfect psychological storm for the president. He performs better when his back is against the wall; he has some subconscious need to put himself in challenging positions. That makes it hard for him to surf success and intensity; he just suddenly runs out of gas and stops fighting, leaving revved up supporters confused and deflated.
Thats just his rhythm, said one adviser.
Because Obama doesnt relish confrontation, he often fails to pin his opponents on the mat the first time he gets the chance; instead, perversely, he pulls back and allows foes to gain oxygen. It happened with Hillary in New Hampshire and Texas and with Republicans in the health care and debt-ceiling debates. Just as Obama let the tea party inflate in the summer of 2009, spreading a phony narrative about death panels, now he has let Romney inflate and spread a phony narrative about moderation and tax math.
Even though Obama was urged not to show his pompous side, he arrived at the podium cloaked in layers of disdain: a disdain for debates, which he regards as shams; a venue, as the Carter White House adviser Gerry Rafshoon puts it, where people prefer a good liar to a bad performer.
Obama feels: Seriously? After all he did mopping up Republican chaos, does he really have to spend weeks practicing a canned zinger? Should the man who killed Osama bin Laden and personally reviews drone strikes have to put on a show of macho swagger?
Plus, hes filled with disdain for Romney, seeing him as the ultimate slick boardroom guy born on third base trying to peddle money-making deals. Surely everyone sees through this con man?
Just as Poppy Bush didnt try as hard as he should have because he assumed voters would reject Slick Willie, Obama lapsed into not trying because he assumed voters would reject Cayman Mitt.
The president averted his eyes as glittering opportunities passed, even when Romney sent a lob his way with a reference to his accountant.
Obama has been coddled by Valerie Jarrett, the adviser who sat next to Michelle at the debate, instead of the more politically strategic choice of local pols and their spouses. Jarrett believes that everyone must woo the prodigy who deigns to guide us, not the other way around.
At a fundraising concert in San Francisco Monday night, the president mocked Romneys star turn, saying what was being presented wasnt leadership; thats salesmanship.
It is that distaste for salesmanship that caused Obama not to sell or even explain health care and economic policies; and it is that distaste that caused him not to sell himself and his policies at the debate. His latest fundraising plea is marked URGENT. But in refusing to muster his will and energy, and urgently sell his vision, he underscores his own lapses in leadership and undermines arguments for four more years.

Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG "Black/Gum" – Arriving at Retailers by John Kim 13 Comments
Only one problem.
The hang tag has been ripped off.
Other than that, there perfect!!
December 8, 2013 BY Brendan Dunne / 1
If you've got a little bit of knowledge on OG Jordans you're probably familiar with the "Sky Jordan" branding. For certain pairs that were small enough in sizing there was no "Nike Air" technology involved-meaning that Nike actually billed them as the Sky Jordan rather than the Air Jordan. This Air Jordan 1 OG isn't of that sort though-it's actually a sample crafted up with a different style sole tooling that in turn removes any semblance of "Air" branding. Take an in depth look at this incredibly rare piece of Air Jordan history after the jump and then check out the chance to own them yourself from depeche23mode on eBay.

Scottish Gaelic (Gàidhlig)
Scottish Gaelic is spoken by about 87,000 people in Scotland (Alba), mainly in the Highlands (a' Ghaidhealtachd) and in the Western Isles (Na h-Eileanan an Iar), but also in Glasgow (Glaschu), Edinburgh (Dùn Eideann) and Inverness (Inbhir Nis). There are also small Gaelic-speaking communities in Canada, particularly in Nova Scotia (Alba Nuadh) and on Cape Breton Island (Eilean Cheap Breatainn). Other speakers can be found in Australia (Astràilia), New Zealand (Sealainn Nuadh) and the USA (Na Stàitean Aonaichte).
Scottish Gaelic at a glance
- Native name: Gàidhlig [ˈkaːlikʲ]
- Linguistic affliation: Indo-European, Celtic, Insular Celtic, Goidelic
- Number of speakers: c. 87,000
- Spoken in: Scotland, also in Canda, the USA and New Zealand
- First written: c. 12th century
- Writing system: Latin alphabet
- Status: recognised minority language in Scotland and Canada
Relationship to other languages
Scottish Gaelic is closely related to Manx and Irish and was brought to Scotland around the 4th century AD by the Scots from Ireland. Scottish Gaelic was spoken throughout Scotland (apart from small areas in the extreme south-east and north-east) between the 9th and 11th centuries, but began to retreat north and westwards from the 11th century onwards. All Scottish Gaelic dialects are mutually intelligible, and written Irish can be understood to a large extent.
Scottish Gaelic is also distantly related to Welsh (Cymraeg), Cornish (Kernewek) and Breton (Brezhoneg), which form the Brythonic branch of the Celtic languages, also known as P-Celtic. The Celtic languages all have a similar grammatical structure, but have relatively little vocabulary in common.
Here is an illustration of some of the differences and similarities between the Celtic languages using the phrases 'What is your name?' and 'My name is ... / I'm ...':
Irish - Cén t-ainm atá ort?, Is mise ...
Gloss: What-the name is on-you?, Am I [emphatic] ..."
Scottish Gaelic - Dè an t-ainm a th'ort, Is mise ...
Gloss: What the name is on-you?, Am I [emphatic] ..."
Manx - Cre'n ennym t'ort?,
Ta'n ennym orrym ... / ... mish
Gloss: What'the name is on-you?, Is the name on-me ... / ... I [emphatic]"
Breton - Petra eo da anv?, ... eo ma anv
Gloss: What is your name?, ... is my name"
Cornish - Pyth yw dha hanow?,
Ow hanow yw ...
Gloss: What is your name?, My name is ..."
Welsh - Beth ydy dy enw di? (inf) , ... dwi / ... ydw i
Gloss: What is your name you?, ... I'm / ... I am"
- The only word in these examples that is similar in all the languages: ainm (Irish), ainm (Scottish Gaelic), ennym (Manx), anv (Breton), hanow (Cornish) and enw (Welsh).
- The word for what - Cén (Irish), De (Scottish Gaelic), Cre (Manx), Petra (Breton), Pyth (Cornish) and Beth (Welsh) - illustrates one of the sound differences between the branches of the Celtic languages. In the Gaelic languages, apart from Scottish Gaelic, it starts with C, which is why they are called Q-Celtic languages (this sound is sometimes written with a Q in Manx), while in the Brythonic languges it starts with p or b, which is why they are known as P-Celtic. Both sounds developed from the Proto-Celtic [kʷ].
- There are more similarities within each branch of these languages than between the branches (Gaelic and Brythonic), and the Gaelic languages are closer to one another than are the Brythonic languages.
- There are other versions of these phrases: see the What's your name? phrases page.
Celtic connections - words that are similar in the Celtic languages
The earliest identifiably texts in Scottish Gaelic are notes in the Book of Deer written in north eastern Scotland in the 12th century, although the existence of a common written Classical Gaelic concealed the extent of the divergence between Irish and Scottish Gaelic.
The Scottish Gaelic alphabet
Scottish Gaelic is written with just 18 letters each of which is named after a tree or shrub. The consonants all have more than one pronunciation depending on their position in a word and which vowels precede or follow them.
|A a
|B b
|C c
|D d
|E e
|F f
|G g
|H h
|I i
|L l
|M m
|N n
|O o
|P p
|R r
|S s
|T t
|U u
(Guelder Rose)
A grave accent on a vowel (Àà, Èè, Ìì, Òò and Ùù) indicates a longer version of the vowel, but these are not considered separate letters
The older Gaelic (uncial) script or "corr litir" has not been used for several centuries in Scotland, and has never been used in printed Gaelic. The uncial script is still used in Ireland on road signs and public notices.
The orthography of Scottish Gaelic was regularised in the late 1970s. For details see: http://www.smo.uhi.ac.uk/gaidhlig/goc/
Pronunciation - vowels (fuaimreagan) and diphthongs (dà-fhoghair)
The second pronunciations, indicate with separate brackets [] are used in unstressed syllables.
Pronunciation - connragan (consonants)
The connragan leathann or broad consonants are those preceded or followed by a, o or u. Connragan caola or slender consonants are those preceded or followed by i or e. Most consonants have different pronunciations depending on whether they appear at the beginning of a word or elsewhere.
The initial consonants of Gaelic words can change in various contexts. This process is known as "lenition" and involves the addition of an h after the initial letter. The resulting letters are suathaich or fricatives.

2013: International Year of Water Cooperation
"Water, water everywhere, only if we share"
The UN General Assembly has declared 2013 the International Year of Water Cooperation. The objective is to highlight the benefits of cooperation on water management in a world where pressures on freshwater resources are intensifying.
Working on wide-ranging initiatives related to freshwater, UNDP and its partners are actively supporting the Year.
Water is a vital resource for life and knows no boundaries. Access to clean water is the foundation for the fulfillment of basic human needs and for achieving most, if not all, of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
The Year will serve to highlight successful examples of water cooperation and explore key issues including water education, water diplomacy, transboundary water management, financial cooperation, legal frameworks and the MDGs.
Water cooperation is key to poverty eradication, social equity and gender equality
Inclusive and participatory governance of water and cooperation between different user groups can help to overcome inequity in access to water. Improving access to water for drinking, hygiene and productive uses contributes to poverty eradication and to improving living conditions and educational opportunities, especially for women and children.
Water cooperation creates economic benefits
Most economic activities depend on water, either directly or indirectly. Economic returns on investing in access to water and sanitation are typically 8:1 or higher. Cooperation can lead to more efficient and sustainable use of water resources, including through joint management plans creating mutual benefits and better living standards.
Water cooperation prevents conflicts and builds peace
Access to water can be a source of a conflict, but it is also a tool for crisis prevention and peace building. Cooperation on such a practical and vital issue as water management can help overcome cultural, political and social tensions, and can build trust between different groups, regions or states.
UNDP's work around the world includes facilitating access to clean water and enhancing national and transboundary cooperation on water resources management, thus contributing to the achievement of the MDGs and other international targets.
Our stories
Afghanistan: Women gain access to clean water
Until recently, women in the village of Jukna, in the remote province of Badghis in western Afghanistan, used to walk four kilometres a day to collect drinking water for their families. And even then, the scarce, brackish water was often a health hazard. "The women used to collect water from uncovermore
Building a brighter future for rice farmers in Cambodia
Farmers in the small community of Tuol Sdey, in the Svay Rieng province of southeastern Cambodia, have reason to be happy. For the first time in decades they can rejoice in having two harvests in one season. This is largely due to the construction of a new water dam which stores rain in a nearmore
In Cambodia, piped water offers villagers a fresh start
There is virtually no free space left in Kri Ven's backyard. After his home in Cambodia was connected to a pipe water system, his 300-square metres of land now host rows and rows of plants such as cabbage, radish and sugar cane. "I am quite happy to have my own farm to grow vegetables for a living,more
In Gaza, safe water supply changes lives
Water is scarce in the occupied Palestinian territory and supplies barely meet the needs of the Palestinian people. More than 13 percent of the population currently has no access to running water, and many of the existing water facilities are dilapidated. Water quality is very poor: only 7 percent omore
Managing droughts and floods in Azerbaijan
Mehemmed Veliyev, a 45-year-old farmer living in Abrikh Village in Azerbaijan, had a good life. He had hectares of land where he grew fruit and hazelnut. But the environment he depended upon turned on him one day in 2008, when a flash flood came from the mountains and destroyed his land. For Veliyevmore

This year's varsity Brookfield Central boys volleyball team saw the Lancers within one game of the state tournament for the first time since 2002.
Coach Ken Nash's team won three invitational and seven dual meets during the regular season before losing to Wauwatosa East in the sectional finals.
The Lancers were second in conference, their highest finish in the Greater Metro Conference under Nash, ranking as high as second in the state, the highest ranking for a Central boys volleyball team.
Central was second in conference play with a 4-1 record and 7-1 overall, beating Marquette University High School for the first time in history.
In the invitational season, they finished in the championship bracket in every tournament. The Lancers won three invites (West Allis Central, Arrowhead and Whitefish Bay) and placed second at the Shorewood Invite, beating second-ranked Burlington in pool play. They did not place lower than fifth at the other three invites they were in.
Their match record was 34-7 and they were ranked No. 2 in the sectional, the highest seed in the past 10 years.
Here is a look at some of the key players and their stats for the season.
Billy Brauer (226 kills, 58.5 blocks), Luke Sommerfeld (215, 29 aces, 28 blocks), Tanner Swan (212 kills, 145 digs, 45 aces, 28.5 blocks), James Keuper (183 kills, 55.5 blocks) and Nate Leitermann (142 kills) were the kill kings.
Andrew Dusing (880 assists, 23 aces, 145 digs, 36.5 blocks), Jeff Thurston (319 digs), Chase DuChateau (98 digs) and Andrew Shea (42 kills, 74 digs) were also impressive.
The Lancers will lose nine seniors: Brauer, Dusing, Keuper, Leitermann, Shea, Swan, Thurston, Blake Markstein and Jared Schmidt.

Hop !Achille Talon is a Belgian comic created in 1963 by Michel Regnier a.k.a. Michel Greg in Pilote magazine. Originally one-page gags, it turned quickly to two-page gags before becoming complete 62-page adventures in 1974, and continued until its creator died in 1999.The character is an Homage to Monsieur Poche, a pretentious bourgeois created by Alain Saint-Ogan who's reputed to have created the ligne claire style and whom Greg was such a big fan of that he remade his star characters Zig et Puce just to give some royalties to the poor old master.Achille Talon, according his author, "knows everything and improvises the rest of it. Apart of this, he's generous, petty, pacifist, aggressive, progressist, bourgeois, selfless, jealous, intrepid and a bit of a coward. In sum, honest and brave just like you and me..."The comic book was translated for different markets in the 80's and published in English under the title Walter Melon with little success, as it was so specifically French by its main character and its language. Readers hardly understood Talon's favorite interjections, "hop !" and "bof..." which simply express positive/negative moods.Received a short-lived Animated Adaptation where Talon operated as a "hero for hire," acting as a stand-in for parodies of famous film and television heroes when the real article was sorely needed but unavailable. As might be imagined, he's a pretty poor substitute.
Achille Talon provides examples of the following tropes:

I Think Ted Cruz is Trying to CO-OPT RandSubmitted by MissionValleyMafia on Tue, 09/24/2013 - 16:38
Ted Cruz is a Bush guy. He is clearly the establishment answer to Rand Paul. It's pretty clear that he is trying to setup a situation where he will get the nomination for President or split the conservative libertarian vote within the party and leave us with Jeb or Christie.
We know very little about him other than the fact that he worked for Bush and his wife worked for Goldman. His rhetoric is great but look beneath the surface, he seems like he is to conservatives what Obama was to the progressives, great rhetoric very little substance, an establishment trick paying lip service to those it needs to neutralize.
Be very wary of him. He is a Bush guy with very little track record.

I may have worded my post to
I may have worded my post to be a little confusing. I do NOT think Cruz would be a good VP running mate for Rand. Cruz is crucial in the Senate and I believe that's where he should stay. I was referring to his position on the current issues (Drones, Obamacare, NSA) and that we have quite awhile before we start throwing rocks at our Liberty allies for 2016. However, if Cruz did run for President, I wouldnt be upset because I think he would be much in line with Rand and that will change the dynamic of the debates, ultimately benefiting Rand. There's no way Cruz could beat Rand. He doesnt have the resources Rand will inherit from his dad, The Godfather, Ron Paul.

Gay Pengiuns Become Proud Papas At Denmark Zoo
Nov 09, 2012
Two male penguins in a Danish zoo have adopted a chick, becoming among the first gay-penguin parents in captivity.
The unnamed King penguins began performing mating rituals on each other several years ago at Odense Zoo, and zookeepers noticed both were trying to steal other couples' eggs during brooding season. (They had even resorted to sitting on dead herring to emulate incubation.
The opportunity for them to become proud parents arose when another penguin, a female, abandoned eggs she laid with several different males. "In the lifetime monogamy of the King penguin world, this is extraordinary," said zookeeper Nina Christensen. "Now we have an extra egg and this pair that have been standing with fishes."
The boys parental instincts were tested on a ball first, before they were gradually moved onto the real thing. "With King penguins, they mix it between the male and female. One stands with the egg while the other goes to feed and then they shift. It was the same with this pair—they both incubated the egg," Christensen says. "The chick hatched about a month ago and the new little family remains separated from the colony while they bond but will soon rejoin them. Penguins recognize their offspring by their distinctive cries, indistinguishable to humans, and this trio are no different."
In 1998 Rory and Silo, two male Chinstrap penguins, became a couple at the Central Park Zoo and raised a chick, named Tango by zookeepers. Currently there are two male African penguins at the Toronto Zoo, but they're kid-free for now.
