Tero Linjama recently uploaded a recording of Common Buttonquail Turnix sylvaticus sylvaticus from Morocco. There are historical records from 6 countries in the Mediterranean, but at this moment the population in Morocco is the only one known. After lack of sightings in the 1990's it was considered extinct there. In recent years the birds have been found to survive in an area were fallow lands are part of the agricultural system. (ref: Gutierrez et al. Dutch Birding 33 75-93 2011).

We're in the process of uploading a major contribution by Peter Boesman. Check out the spotlight!
Peter's contributions are very varied, but one of the more notable features is the large number of Venezuelan and Mexican recordings. Several new species are among them, as well.
Massive action today, not only from the addition of Peter's collections. Over 370 recordings by others, one of the better XC days on record, I think!
Indeed, what a day. New recordists and regular contributors, new species from Africa, Asia, America.... excellent.
The new Cinereous Ground Tyrant is the last species to complete the very difficult (because quiet) Muscisaxicola genus.
Good to see that the sole available recording of Grallaricula kukenamensis (should not be within nana!) is now more widely available for all to review.
Excellent! This collection wouldn't be complete without Peter's extensive collection...

Another great book by Mary Monroe! This is fast moving with all kinds of twist and turns as her books always have. You just don't want to put this book now as you just don't know what is around the corner. Some of the storyline is a bit farfetched, but overall it's a good book! If you are fan of her story lines, this one won't disappoint you!

Observation Note on Saturation Behavior of the Fluorescence Excitation Spectrum of OH in a Flame
Volume 44, Number 1 (Jan. 1990) Page 147-150
Cignoli, Francesco; Benecchi, Sergio; Zizak, Giorgio
Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) is one of the most popular techniques for flames diagnostics. Temperature measurements are in general obtained by scanning the laser wavelength through a molecular absorption band in order to probe the ground-state rotational population. OH is frequently used as thermometric species because of its favorable spectral characteristics and of its recurrence in combustion processes. Minor species concentration measurements are also performed by LIF, owing to its great sensitivity. While excitation spectra for temperature measurements must be carried out with lowintensity probing beams (linear regime), absolute concentration measurements require high-power excitation to overcome quenching problems (saturation regime). Moreover this latter regime allows maximum sensitivity and minimum dependence from laser intensity fluctuations. However, the quantitative interpretation of saturated LIF signals poses some problems not yet completely resolved (see Ref. 5 and references therein). The most typical is the evaluation of the effective probe volume due to nonuniformities in the intensity distribution of focused laser beams.

P.J. Fusco | January 19, 2005 | Comments
An in-house SEM manager's goals include getting all kinds of corporate divisions on board with the program; IT, PR, even legal.
Turning the page to the New Year brings about a sense of renewal, personal and professional. Everyone focuses on forward thinking. In business, people put objectives in writing, obtain management approval, and seal the fate of their fiscal 2005 bonus.
For an in-house search engine marketing (SEM) wonk like me, it's a wonderful time. New projects are initiated, timelines set, and resources allocated. SEO (define) projects and SEM campaigns touch nearly every facet of a dot-com corporation's business objectives.
Education and Advocacy
My primary assignment is an integral part of my corporation's overall business objective this year. Consequently, I must continue to educate our IT staff, programmers, and Web developers on the fundamental principles of search-engine-friendly site architecture and design. I don't do it alone. I bring in a variety of external resources to help pilot specific projects.
Together with SEO experts, we'll continue to explain the ins and outs of various organic SEO tactics and why we recommend they be implemented on various projects. The tech team demands proof that such undertakings are worth their time and energy. Fortunately, I thoroughly enjoy developing the metrics that underscore the key performance indicators of each SEO project. Working with an IT team can be a very demanding part of this job. I also find it the most rewarding.
I'll spend some quality time advocating the many benefits of optimizing corporate communications. Empowering the communications team with the knowledge of how to pick the right words to land our messages in news engines, measure the effects of their efforts, and monetize results are dot-com business imperatives.
Luckily, I've got two great partners working with me on this particular business initiative: my boss and a top SEO PR firm. Together with the corporate communications team, we're making great strides toward improving our online corporate communications visibility.
Culture-Building and Holding Court
I'll continue to advocate SEM strategies with brand managers. I hope to pull them, kicking and screaming if necessary, out of a conventional marketing mindset by extolling the many benefits of interactive and paid-performance marketing. This part of the job can be pretty challenging, as I'm working to adjust a very entrenched mindset.
I've only been with my current company four months, so I'm still working to break down the department barriers that inhibit the progress of building effective SEM strategies. Success is a powerful aphrodisiac when it comes to changing attitudes. By working to meld the unique selling points of our products and services with the services of an SEM vendor who can provide the right mix of organic and paid-performance tactics for specific initiatives, future brand-based business objectives will be a little less painful to achieve.
I'll also get to spend some quality time with our legal counsel on matters concerning paid-performance, trademarks, and protecting intellectual capital online. The legal ramifications of SEM are highly dynamic at present. This adds another interesting layer of responsibilities to my core objectives in 2005.
That's not to say explaining how SEM works to the legal types can't be amusing. The most fun I ever had with a lawyer was a hands-on lesson in building a pay-per-click (PPC) campaign. For some reason, I particularly enjoyed showing how Google AdWords automatically objects to using "spank" in a headline.
Personal Renewal
All told, it looks like 2005 will be a very interesting year. I'll advocate the benefits of building a succinct corporate SEM strategy with top brass. I'll work with some of the top SEM industry experts to transform legacy barriers into perpetual opportunities. I must stay on top of the legal ramifications of our SEM activities at all times. And, I get to bang the drum about what SEM can do in terms of online brand building.
Ultimately, my goal as a corporate SEM specialist is to get everyone optimizing all the time. I love this time of year, because I get to see which design projects, paid-performance campaigns, and online media promotions will be next year's success stories. It's not just a time of business renewal, it's also a time of personal renewal.

The unique solution was based on clustering prefabricated shipping containers to form housing pods. Six units per pod were stacked two units high and then connected to each other in a 'C' formation that allows natural ambient light in but blocks extreme temperatures during warm days and cold nights. Five containers are for sleeping and one is a dedicated restroom. In all, 16 pods can house 320 people.
The huge canvas roof is the key to the design's success. Set on steel trusses, it creates a micro climate that tempers the harsh environment. The roof provides ample protection from the sun in one of the hottest and driest places on the planet, and it also encourages cross breezes while blocking harsh winds. The roof also helps keep heat from radiating out at night — the project is situated approximately 1,500 meters above sea level so the evenings get cold.
The design works so well that patches of grass could be placed at each pod, providing a humble but critical micro climate in one of the most extreme places on the planet.

South America makes up the southern half of the Americas and a large part of Latin America. It's home to the world's longest mountain range, biggest waterfall and largest river -- even these mammoths pale in comparison to the stunning variety of life forms thriving in the rainforest. To the northwest, off the coast of Ecuador, lie the Galapagos Islands, which are unique for hosting species not found anywhere else on earth. These were the subject of study for Charles Darwin in his theory of evolution, which he himself said will require proof in every single case. The main languages in South America are Spanish and Portugese, which basically tells you which European countries colonized the place. The South American wars of independence took place over two decades in the early 19th century, led by Simon Bolivar of Venezuela and Jose san Martin of Argentina. Following liberation from Portugal and Spain, South America took off into its own development, capitalizing on the rich deposits of oil, gold, copper, silver and tango musicians. Brazil is the largest country in South America and home to one of the world's best parties, Carnaval. Have you heard of samba music? How about bossa nova? Maybe dancing for three days straight? I can't say enough good things about South America. All the world's continents have amazing secrets and treasures laying in wait for your discovery, but in South America... just have a look at our pictures while you're waiting for online confirmation of your plane tickets to hit your inbox.Text by Steve Smith.

Top Chunky Heels: A Weighty Issue
Those with weak ankles, rejoice! And pretty much all of us can enjoy a break from sky-high stilettos. Because it's all about the chunky heel right now. When working a heel with some heft, it's important the shoe have some feminine details. Otherwise, the look gets trashy way too quickly.
Aquazzura Queen Mixed Media Sandals: A Piece of Italy
One of my favorite things to do in Florence is shop at uniquely Florentine boutiques like the new Aquazzura store at the Palazzo Corsini. Besides the concept space serving as the brand's headquarters and flagship, it's located in a gorgeous, historical building built by the Medicis in the 15th century that was later bought by Maria Machiavelli.
Wedges to Cruise In: All Feet on Deck
Now is as much the time to stock up on cute wedges as it is the time to collect winter coats. Why? Because you should be leaving those bulky jackets behind and hopping on a cruise! When I know I have a seafaring adventure on the horizon, the first thing I shop for is the perfect wedge.
Top 5 Polychromatic Shoes: Chasing Rainbows
Feeling like things look a little dull now that holiday festivities are on their last leg? There's nothing like the perky colors of the rainbow to enliven your wardrobe, and there's nothing like a great new pair of shoes to make you see things from a whole new angle.
NET-A-PORTER Sale: Dancing Shoes
Do you have New Year's Eve plans yet? If not, it's time to make some! These dancing shoes deserve a night on the town, and you'll be able to splurge on the rest of your outfit because all of these pretty pumps are discounted on NET-A-PORTER.
Shopbop Boot Sale: 25% Off!
I love all sales, but when one takes place for something that you need now (and not for seasonally inappropriate or trendy pieces that are on their way out the door), I feel so much better about picking things up. Snow, rain, cowboy, Chelsea style, over-the-knee, heeled…there's no shortage of boots on Shopbop!
Palter DeLiso: What's Old is New
One year ago, American-heritage brand Palter DeLiso relaunched after lying dormant for decades. Established as the first luxury shoe company the US in 1927, its initial founders gained fame for their invention of the peep-toe slingback heel (sorry, Loubie lovers!), so to say Palter has some rich history is a bit of an understatement.
Dolce & Gabbana Crystal-Embellished Velvet Pumps: Floral Fantasy
With darker hues and bulkier, structured coats, autumn tends to bring out our more masculine sides, but after looking at these girly Dolce & Gabbanas, I'm ready to take my fall wardrobe in the opposite direction!
Feather Shoes: Tickled by Feathers
When you think of feathers and shoes, you think of boudoir house slippers like these frilly Sophia Webster mules. There are so many more options than those, though. Feathers had a big showing at couture (most memorably at Chanel) so you can expect the trend to trickle down.

Phoenix Suns
Babby: Hornacek will be a terrific Suns' head coach 'for a long, long time'
A dismal 25-57 season in 2012-13 made more than just one thing apparent to Phoenix Suns president of basketball operations.
Not only did the team need a new coach, after Alvin Gentry (13-28) and Lindsey Hunter (12-29) split halves of the season -- faring almost equally as poorly, but they also lacked a connection to their roots, as Babby would be the first to admit.
Such a connection to the past was something Babby and the organization grew to covet as they parted ways with Hunter, then an interim head coach, and former general manager Lance Blanks. Somehow, someway, they wanted to evoke nostalgia of the organization's glory days among fans.
So, when the search for a new head coach began, Babby, general manager Ryan McDonough and the Suns hoped to find such a connection among their long list of prerequisites for their new team leader.
"I go back to the interview process," Babby recalled of that period of time. "We had a pretty thorough process and a pretty thorough list of qualifications we wanted in our head coach.
Coincidentally, the fellow who best met such a thorough list of requirements was former Suns great Jeff Hornacek.
"Jeff checked off every box," Babby told.
"The fact that he had all the other qualifications, and then he was beloved in the community and beloved in the Valley -- that was a cherry on top of the ice cream sundae.
"His connection to the community has been a wonderful bonus. "
And basketball-wise, things are night and day when contrasted to last season's gloom, almost to a T.
Last Christmas, Gentry and the Suns were 11-17 and the middle of a six-game losing streak. On Wednesday, Hornacek and the Suns found themselves at 17-10, having won eight of their last nine games.
Babby credits his hire for the turnaround.
"The coaching has been terrific and the players have responded," he said.
And there was plenty more raving ahead.
"He has compiled a terrific staff and has managed that staff well," Babby said of Hornacek.
"And he has virtually no ego."
One of the problems with the 2012-13 Suns was streakiness. They once were mired in a 10-game losing streak and, prior to another long losing streak -- a six-game one -- they managed a four-game winning streak. Buy-in from the players, among other things, was problematic.
"It's a grueling season and it's year after year and you want someone who is going to be able to maintain the confidence and trust of the players -- not just for two weeks or two months or two years, but for a long, long period of time," Babby explained, perhaps referencing the tenure of Hunter, who won his first two games as interim head coach of the Suns and went 4-4 in his first eight games.
Hornacek, on the other hand, with an overhauled roster and a host of bright young players, has the opposite effect going. Buy-in and long-term thinking is seemingly there among the Suns' fresh faces.
"He has an extraordinary ability to communicate," Babby bragged of Hornacek. "He is calm but at the same time can command respect. The players trust him because of what he has accomplished in his own career, but I think more importantly, it's obvious what his knowledge of the game is.
"(He's) a guy who I think is going to be a terrific coach for the Phoenix Suns for a long, long time."

flat as a pancake,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Northland Leather Faced High Back Executive Chair (Baby Product)
Bought this chair in july, and it had a good, padded comfy seat. However by october it is now flat as a pancake, no cushioning at all. What kind of cheap foam does this company use? I've had cheap office chairs whose seat foam stayed comfortable for years, so for �170 I expect the same if not better. Rubbish.

The Butcher's Tale: Murder and Anti-Semitism in a German Town
Posted December 9, 2008
Great historical
In March 1900 in Konitz, Prussia, two townsfolk find a package containing the upper body of a missing young man. Other body parts wrapped inside packing paper typically used for meat are subsequently found throughout the town. Though the authorities believe the local Christian butcher killed the lad, rumors abound even way beyond the town¿s borders that the Jews performed an ancient ritual using the blood of Christians in the baking of Passover matzo. Taken seriously by many Christians, riots and other violent acts against the Jewish community occurred.
THE BUTCHER¿S TALE is an excellent look at a true crime incident that led to unproved accusations followed by anti-Semitic rioting and acts of violence against the Jewish population. Dr. Helmut Walser Smith provides deep insight into the historical evidence, especially collected in minute detail by the police and uses this anecdotal case to prove the 'process' of turning personal bias and local quarrels into a structured vicious attack on a weaker relation in this case the Jews. Generalizations can be drawn from this powerful work that takes a specific medieval belief applied at the beginning of the twentieth century and yet the use of accusing a scapegoat seems so commonplace throughout the world of today.

Boing is sort of a self portrait. At this point in time, I'm devoting more and more of my creative energies to painting and less to writing fiction; confronting the world's ongoing confusion, pathos, apathy and zeal with only a small paint brush. Including frame (handmade by the artist), the original is 32.25" X 42.25". The timepiece is actually a small antique mantle clock that has been in my wife's family for many, many years.

Sunday night, Stephen Hayes noted (via Twitter) a Times of Israel article that the 2015 Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Communities delivered annually by Director of National Intelligence James Clapper to a Senate committee had "removed Iran and Hezbollah from its list of terrorism threats" after having been included in prior years.
For each of at least the past four years, the report from Clapper has featured a section early in the document entitled "Terrorism." In the 2015 report, that section spans pages 4 and 5 of the report and is completely silent about both Iran and Hezbollah. Other sections of the report mention Iran as a cyber threat and talk about Iran's nuclear program as a potential threat, but even when discussing specific threats country by country, the section dedicated to Iran (four paragraphs on page 14) does not mention terrorism as a reason that nation is an "ongoing threat" to the United States. The open sentence reads:
The Islamic Republic of Iran is an ongoing threat to US national interests because of its support to the Asad regime in Syria, promulgation of anti-Israeli policies, development of advanced military capabilities, and pursuit of its nuclear program.
The Islamic Republic of Iran is an ongoing threat to US national interests because of its support to the Asad regime in Syria, promulgation of anti-Israeli policies, development of advanced military capabilities, and pursuit of its nuclear program.
In stark contrast to the 2015 report, each of the three preceding reports not only singles out Iran for terrorism, but actually gives the country (sometimes paired with Hezbollah) its own subheading. Here are excerpts from the Terrorism section of each of those three reports:
As Hayes noted on Twitter regarding the removal by U.S. intelligence of Iran and Hezbollah as worldwide terror threats, "If true, jaw-dropping." This closer look at the last four annual reports seems to indicate that it is indeed true.

BeirutLast week Hezbollah buried one of its princes, Jihad Mughniyeh, the 22-year-old son of the late Imad Mughniyeh, a legendary Hezbollah commander implicated in such infamous operations as the 1983 bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut. The assassination
Experts continue to debate whether the explosion at an Iranian military base at Parchin earlier in the week was an act of sabotage.
During the first two weeks of the Gaza conflict, Hamas landed at least two significant punches. In firing missiles at Ben Gurion Airport, Hamas convinced the Federal Aviation Authority and European air carriers to temporarily suspend flights to Israel. The fact that relatively primitive rockets falling far short of their targets are nonetheless capable of at least briefly severing an advanced Western democracy with a leading tech economy from the rest of the world is a psychological blow.
Last month the president of the Syrian Opposition Coalition went to the White House. Ahmad Jarba and the Syrian rebels want American weapons, in particular the shoulder-launched surface-to-air missiles that might neutralize Bashar al-Assad's air force and stop it from dropping barrel bombs loaded with chlorine gas canisters. What Jarba got instead was a handshake and platitudes.
Six years ago Hezbollah commander Imad Mughniyeh was assassinated when the headrest in his car was detonated in Damascus. While Israeli intelligence neither denies nor confirms its involvement, the Mossad is generally believed to have been responsible for his death. And yet there is no shortage of Western as well as Arab intelligence services that wanted Mughniyeh dead—including the CIA, whose station chief William Buckley Hezbollah abducted, tortured and killed in 1985. Moreover, Mughniyeh was responsible for the April 1983 bombing of the American embassy in Beirut that killed 17 Americans, and the Marines barracks bombing in October of that year that killed 244 American marines, sailors, soldiers and airmen. As founder and director of Hezbollah's terrorism apparatus, Mughniyeh left a long wake of blood across the world. And even six years after his death, Mughniyeh's legacy of terror lives on, as Hezbollah has recently plotted operations on several continents, including Europe, Asia and Africa.
Remember a few years ago when Iranian officials had to intervene to prevent Hezbollah gunmen from turning on their Syrian patrons? Few people do. Today, the "axis of resistance" is as strong as ever, with Iran and Hezbollah fully committed to fighting for the survival of Bashar al-Assad's regime, despite battlefield losses and the political costs of siding with a brutal dictator who gasses and bombs his own people.
The Hague, Netherlands
A car bomb detonated today in the southern suburbs of Beirut, a Hezbollah stronghold. So far, four are reported dead and over 50 have been injured. With rumors spreading that the bombing may have been the work of the Abdullah Azzam Brigades, a Sunni jihadist group with ties to al Qaeda, it seems that this was the latest in a series of moves indicating that the regional conflict with Syria as its red-hot center is growing ever wider, now encompassing all the Levant, from Baghdad to Beirut. In the Lebanese capital alone, within a one-week span a former Sunni minister was assassinated, Saudi Arabia bought a $3 billion share of a national army heavily infiltrated by Hezbollah, and then today the Party of God was targeted on its home turf.
In the wake of the interim deal that the White House signed with Iran Saturday, Secretary of State John Kerry said on the Sunday talk shows that nothing has changed, not with the American position in the Middle East, or with the U.S. alliance system in the region. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is screaming his head off, but Israel has nothing to worry about says Kerry.
The cartoon above is from the Great Game era in Central Asia, when the British and Russians were in a contest for places like Afghanistan and Iran. It's strongly (perhaps perversely) suggestive given current events.
Thirty years ago last month, Hezbollah blew up the barracks of the U.S Marines and French paratroopers stationed at the Beirut airport, killing 241 U.S. servicemen and 58 Frenchmen. It wasn't Hezbollah's first terrorist operation, but this attack, the most memorable in Lebanon's vicious and chaotic 15-year-long civil war, marked the Party of God's entry onto the world stage.
Lebanese authorities have arrested two suspects affiliated with a pro-Syrian regime group in the bombing of two Sunni mosques in Tripoli on Friday. Forty-seven people were killed in the attack in the northern Lebanese city, likely retaliation for a bombing the previous week in the southern suburbs of Beirut, a Hezbollah stronghold, that killed another 27.
The Obama administration is heralding a conference later this month in Geneva where representatives of Bashar al-Assad's regime will ostensibly sit down with the Syrian rebel forces opposing them. The effect will be to prop up Assad. Sen. John McCain, on the other hand, is committed to the Syrian people. We commend him for the courage he showed last week when he became the most senior American official to visit Syria since the shooting started, entering from the Turkish border.

Alain Vigneault
Hartnett: Rangers Are Suffering Through A Full-Blown Defensive Crisis

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Does anyone have the book "American Metal Typefaces of the 20th Century?" What do you think of it? Does it have complete showings of a face's characters?
I've got it. It's pretty extensive. Most of the time (more than 70%) it shows a complete specimen
> indentifying date of issue, designer and foundry
... and with some commentary from Mac McGrew.
Thanks for your help Paul.
If you are wondering if the book is worth buying I would give it a strong buy recommendation.
Gerald Giampa
Ah, yes. I would recommend it as well. Not a beautiful book ? kind of like a giant, hardcover Dover book ? but the content makes up for that in spades. Thousands of faces!

I wasn't sure if this was an ech or another succulent. Whatever it is, I thought it was cute enough to take home! I love the pink coloring.
Here is a link that might be useful: succulent
I agree the Aeonium idea because of the leaf edges. That is characteristic of many Aeoniums but not Echeveria. The plant is young and hard to identify correctly, but the deep coloring makes me think of A. aboreum 'atropurpurea' or a related hybrid. It will grow fast and large given enough light.
I too was gonna say Aeonium, even before I saw anyone's comments. I thought it from the toothy leaf edges, but also the form of the rosette. Don't know the name, but I have a couple that look like this, don't have great IDs for them, but it's beeen suggested mine are either A. Kiwi or A. Sunset. Mine grow year round (in NYC apmt, western exposure), sturdy & unfussy plant.
Am wondering if your wants to be a variegate, or if the center is lighter color 'cause it's new growth.
There's something abt the form of Aeoniums rosettes that I just love, absolutely adore them.
Yours is lovely & looks healthy & happy -- enjoy!
