Jackson's widowbird (Euplectes jacksoni)
|Veuve de Jackson
|Euplectes (1)
Jackson's widowbird is classified as Near Threatened (NT) on the IUCN Red List (1)
Jackson's widowbird is a small bird that for most of the year has a rather dull appearance; streaky brown plumage, pink feet and a pink bill (2). However, during the breeding season the male transforms into a more alluring specimen in an attempt to attract a mate. Males develop glossy black breeding plumage, except for a brownish patch on the shoulders, and a bright blue-grey bill. They also grow a beautiful down-curled tail, about 20 centimetres long, and a glossy black collar. The male, which is about 40 percent heavier than the female, uses his new, showy plumage in a bizarre and elaborate jumping display to attract the dull females, which have yellowish-brown plumage and a short tail all year round (3).
Jackson's widowbird occurs in the highlands of western and central Kenya and in the Ngorongoro highlands of northern Tanzania (4)
Jackson's widowbird inhabits open grassland from 1,500 to 3,000 metres. It can also be found in tall grassland in some areas and in agricultural land, where it feeds (5)
Jackson's widowbird is a lek-breeding bird, engaging in a system of breeding in which the males display communally, competing to attract a female with which to mate, and then take no part in caring for the eggs or chicks (3). They are polygynous birds and thus males mate with more than one female (3). To attract females, males establish "dancing grounds" in suitable grassland areas. By nipping off and treading down grass, the males create a defined circular smoothly-beaten track, about one metre across. A single tuft of grass is left in the centre in which the male forms two cup-shaped recesses on opposite sides by making short runs at the tuft with a lowered head. On the appearance of a female, the male faces the tuft of grass and begins his peculiar dance. Throwing his head back and arching his tail feathers, the male makes repeated jumps, up to one metre high, accompanied by a soft tinkling call (3) (6). The choosy females pick a mating partner based on the length of his tail and the rate of the jump display (3).
Female Jackson's widowbirds visit the males' dance rings solely for mating and undertake all nest duties on their own. The nest is a woven ball of grass built near the ground or in a dense tuft a little way above the ground (3).
The montane grassland habitat of the Jackson's widowbird is threatened by the spread and intensification of agriculture and livestock production. Pastoralists commonly start fires in the dry season to control ticks, and thereby temporarily destroy important habitat for the widowbird (5).
In Tanzania, the Jackson's widowbirds' habitat is almost entirely protected in parks and reserves, such as Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Conservation Area. In Kenya though, montane grasslands are not so well protected (5). There are no known specific conservation measures in place for Jackson's widowbird at present.

A few Black molly diseases
As i am planning to have some black molly fries so i think i would like to know more about the diseases of black molly that are common. Please tell me more about the diseases which can occur to my black molly and what are the solutions to those diseases?
Mollies aren't really prone to any particular fish diseases that I'm aware of.
Here's a list of diseases and medicines:
and is it true that if i add some salt in their tank then i can prevent them from catching most diseases?
I wouldn't say that's true. Aquarium salt is pretty useless stuff (although it can help in treating ich). I have heard that mollies do better in mildly brackish water than in pure freshwater, but for a brackish tank you'd want to use marine mix, not aquarium salt.
The key to keeping healthy fish is clean water. So long as you buy healthy fish, put them in a fully cycled tank and keep their water in tip-top shape via regular water changes, you should avoid most problems. There are always "diseases" present in the tank but keeping your fish happy and stress-free keeps them from coming down with illnesses (most of the time, anyway).
well right now i think my fishes are perfect shape and are stress free but i dont have much knowledge about cycle? Please can you tell me more about that
Here are some links to articles about cycling:
Thanks i will read them when i have time
I have heard mollies are more prone to ich than other fish... that was a while ago... but it always stuck and I've always assumed that. Guess I'm wrong?
@batman; I add some aquarium salt for my mollies, is that wrong??
I mean aquarium salt rather than marine mix like he mentioned. Mollies don't need salt, but they appreciate it.

To see people posting on here you would think that DRS offers a guaranteed overtake. It does not. It is a driver aid, true, but it has helped to give one of the most entertaining seasons ever. This ain't formula ford and I for one don't want a return to processional racing where qualifying determines the result.

This project will costs 2k to build, but if you hunt around and re use older stuff or look on craigslist, you could pick up some pretty cheap or even FREE stuff to use on your cabin.

text: Dear Editor: Perkins County's population declined 290 people from the 2000 census base to 2,910 in 2010. The impact of that loss affects the county and towns negatively. To add to the loss is the fact that the general population is getting older. These changes are affecting our civic and religious organizations with decreasing numbers and aging membership. The Grant and Venango Lions Club are no exception. Because of these changes the Grant Lions Club is initiating a planning and goal setting meeting scheduled for Feb. 22 at 4 p.m. at Hastings Memorial Library. The public is invited, including the other civic organizations in the community. The objective is to help determine what some of the community needs are. By asking, we may find out there are projects that should be undertaken that are not currently being addressed, such as: • Are the food pantries receiving adequate support? • Does the Perkins County Senior Center need additional volunteers? • Does Westview Retirement Community need some assistance? • Does the Perkins County Museum need assistance? • And many more needs that should be addressed to make our county special. • The Grant Lions Club has already been very active and successful in a number of areas such as: • Fundraising efforts for individual assistance, especially for those that have medical issues. • Lions Club fair stand along with support from the Venango Lions Club. • Highway cleanup • Support the mobile screening unit for the schools and businesses to test for sight and hearing. • Helping to load and unload equipment for the Red Cross Bloodmobile. • Sale of peaches and candy as fundraisers. • Care and maintenance of the shelters at the park. By reaching out to other civic organizations and asking them to attend, we can partner on the large projects or identify new needs that are not currently met. We believe that most people want to be involved in community improvement, especially the younger citizens, as it is an opportunity to learn leadership skills that can be used to improve their professional career performance. Some of you may say, "I would like to help on projects but because of time constraints do not have time to attend meetings." We gladly accept families that want to participate in projects without going to meetings and encourage both souses to participate. Ted Tietjen, Grant Lions Club membership chairman; Mike Long and Lissa Brown, committee members

This site presents a unique approach to rating and ranking high school athletes. Major recruiting services rank these athletes based upon the opinions of their experts. In contrast, the offer-based approach represents the perceptions of college coaches by quantifying the scholarship offers they've extended to each athlete.
The offer-based approach has the following advantages over opinion-based rankings:
- More objective, with less opportunity for bias
- Greater number of reviewers
- Greater number of athletes are evaluated
- College coaches are more qualified to evaluate potential for college success
- College coaches have "skin in the game"
- Rankings can be made earlier in the recruiting process
Offer-based recruit rankings measure something slightly different than the traditional player rankings produced by recruiting services. The services' analysts evaluate players almost solely upon how well they play their particular sport and position. College coaches must take much more into consideration. Academic ability and character, for example, are traits a college coach must consider before extending an offer to a prospect. Instead of being just a ranking of a prospect's athletic ability, offer-based rankings are also a measure of how likely a prospect is to be successful as a college student-athlete.
For more discussion of the offer-based approach, please visit the RankByOffers FAQ page here: http://www.rankbyoffers.com/faq
The proprietary methodology (How it works):
1) The offers that Division 1 FBS colleges have extended to athletes are gathered from recruiting services. The rankings on this site are based upon combined data retrieved from the Rivals and ESPN services. This results in what may be the most comprehensive collection of offers in existence.
2) Each offer is assigned a value based upon rankings derived from players' commitments and the offers they decline. A description of the weighting methodology, along with the values for each program, can be found here: http://www.rankbyoffers.com/teamweightings/
3) All of the points for a player's offers are added together to calculate that player's total offer points.
4) The players are then ranked based upon their total offer points.
5) To determine rankings for college recruiting classes, all of the total offer points for each of their commits are added together. The total offer points for all of the Division 1 FBS recruiting classes are then compared to arrive at the recruiting class rankings.
There are some variables that should be taken into consideration when reviewing a player's ranking. Players who commit to a college early, for instance, may be penalized in these rankings because other colleges are less likely to extend an offer to a prospect who is already committed.
A note to Recruits:
If the information presented on this site for your Division 1 FBS offers appears to be incorrect, please review your offer data on the Rivals and ESPN recruiting websites and send any corrections to your Rivals and ESPN contacts. Your corrections will eventually flow through to this site.
Thank you for visiting RankByOffers,
Paul Nelson

From: Geekosystem.com
Researchers have been seeing methane produced from the worlds oceans for years, but like methane produced in a crowded elevator, the source was a minor mystery that annoyed many in the field. But researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign may have finally cracked the secret behind just who dealt the methane being released by the Earths oceans, and it appears the answer was looking right at them the whole time probably being conspicously quiet or pretending to check its email or something. The source seems to be one of the most common microbes in the ocean, Nitrosopumilus maritimus.
Science has understood that methane is being emitted by the worlds oceans for years, but have been confused by why thats the case. Methane can be produced by microbial organisms, but they usually do so in oxygen-free environments not oxygen-rich ones like the ocean.
Nitrosopumilus maritimus is among the most abundant microbes on the planet, so its a surprise that it could be keeping a secret as big as being responsible for as much as 4% of the Earths total methane production. Even so, that looks to be exactly the case.

Love the style and the color. Hope it is a nice quality. This is my first time ordering.
Easy to style
This wig needed a little trimming to make it suit me. Love it and the ease of styling. Ordered it in a reddish color R28S and absolutely received tons of compliments. Hard to say which is my favorite wig from Raquel Welch but Breeze ranks right up there at the top.
Breeve - Love the look
I am new to Breeze and Raquel's wigs. I love the style but I am disappointed in the quality. One was with the recommened shampoo and it is not the same wig. The shine is almost gone it sheds a lot (for a new wig) and the wispiness has been lost I wonder if Raquel Welch is aware of this poor quality. It sounds as though through reading other ratings that the quality is not the same.
Raquel Products
I have purchased several Raquels over the years. I was reassured that I was NOT imagining the decline in quality after reading the above reviews . . . I noticed such a difference in quality (not good) that I actually researched contacting Raquel's 'people' to let them know. After all these products DO bear her name . . . I wonder if she is even aware; or does she care???
I started wearing your Breeze wig two years ago and being in Florida with all the humidity it was a blessing. I buy at a wig store in St. Petersburg and always order your wig. But the last two were not the quality of the first two. They don't last as long with their style and loose thier wispness.
Love the style
I have ordered this wig for years and have been very happy with the wig the color R11S and the quality. I always received compliments on it. I have been unhappy with the quality of the last few orders The wigs just don't last and hold up like they used to. Although I love this wig I may have to change to another wig.
I have been wearing Breeze for about four years. The first wig was purchased at a wig shop. I was informed the color SS25 was all wrong for me. I did not think so and I continued to order the same color. Well I have had problems with the texture of the fibers especially the last order. All wigs are not created equal and when the quality changes so do the frustrations of trying to style and comb it. Because they are manufactured every wig is different and the color is different every time which is not always flattering. I am very discouraged.
Worth trying!
I took a risk--and it paid off. Thank you! The style shouts sophistication. Now you have me seriously considering shorter styles!
kiss bad hair days goodbye!
I would give the Raquel wigs an over all 5+. I have ordered dozens over the years Always Tigress Knockout Glam Salsa Breeze and a few others I can't remember the names on. I can depend on the quality in color fit comfort and a natural look.
Revlon I would give an over all 4 on. They are more affordable than some of the Raquel pieces. They are also comfortable fit well but the color is not as nice as the Raquel wigs.
My only frustration is personal. I have natural curly/wavy blonde shoulder length fine hair. I would like a Raquel style the was close to what I have in a 5-8" neck length and layered. For us curly girls there is not enough short to mid-length variety. I am almost a daily wearer of some kind of hairpiece. I kissed bad hair days goodbye a long time ago.
took a risk
I took a risk--and it paid off. Thank you! The style shouts sophistication. Now you have me seriously considering shorter styles!
So me!
this piece is so great! it matches my color perfectly!
Won't wear anything else!
The RW-Breeze is my favorite style. It looks just like my hair all my friends compliment me all the time. I am told that I look so beautiful. I will never wear any other style but this one. EVER! I am very particular...
Easy to wear
Breeze is a great shake and go style wig. I have three! I love it!
true to the Breeze
The RW-Breeze is my favorite style. It looks just like my hair all my friends compliment me all the time. I am told that I look so beauiful. I will never wear any other stlye but this one. EVER! I am very particular...

Steve Lenz
captured this incredible
photo in northeast Oregon, outside the city of Milton-Freewater. The region is characterized by rolling hills, and treeless agriculture, he said. Lenz snapped this electrifying shot during a storm on July 20, 2012.
"I was out in the middle of this storm with
lightning crashing all around
(a few miles away) and excitedly taking photos," Lenz told LiveScience in an email. "This photo is the last one I got when my shutter broke. My heart sank. I put my equipment away and got in my car and then realized the lightning had gotten dangerously close. So I was somehow relieved my shutter had broken or I might have been in trouble."
Lenz used a Canon 5D mark1 camera and a Sigma 150-500 lens to capture the magnificent scene.
"I set the camera on a tripod and aimed it towards the windmills where there was a high concentration of lightning strikes," he said. "I set it at F5, ISO 100 and left the shutter open for about 30 seconds at a time hoping to catch strikes." [

school's greenhouse to see the towering specimen and sniff its
famously foul odor
The flower's scientific name is Amorophallus titanium (or Titan Arum), but it is more commonly called the "
corpse flower
," because of its signature smell of rotting flesh. UCSB's specimen is named Chanel, as a nod to the "perfume" it releases when it blooms, school officials said in a statement. [
In Images: A Corpse Flower Blooms
The corpse flower is native to the equatorial rainforests of central Sumatra in western Indonesia, and was first discovered by an Italian botanist in 1878. The flower blooms infrequently, but since 1889, more than 100 corpse flowers have blossomed in cultivation. Before Chanel caused a stink at UCSB,
another corpse flower bloomed
at the U.S. Botanic Garden Conservatory in Washington, D.C.
"This is a rare occurrence under cultivation and even rarer in its native Sumatra, where the deforestation of equatorial rainforests has wreaked havoc on its habitat," UCSB biology greenhouse manager Danica Taber said in a statement. [Related:

just a little darker and the limestone canyons just a little grander.
Covering more than 800,000 acres,
Big Bend National Park
is larger than Rhode Island. Despite being so big, the park's remote location on the U.S.-Mexico border makes it one of the least visited national parks in America. The visitors that do come are often avid hikers or birders. The park has more than 200 miles (322 kilometers) of hiking trails and some 450 bird species.
The giant park is home to some prickly permanent residents. More species of cactus are found in Big Bend — some 70 species — than at any other national park in the country.
A proposed man-made feature could have transformed Big Bend into a tourist attraction years ago. The park came close to becoming home to another Mount Rushmore. Sculptor Gutzon Borglum, who carved the presidents into Mount Rushmore, once considered a similar project on the walls of Big Bend's Santa Elena Canyon, formed by the Rio Grande. But the idea didn't take, and the project was abandoned.

Toads across Wyoming have been outfitted with teensy backpacks and radio transmitters. Why? To track their every hop, of course.
…Read More »
Wyoming toad
is now the most endangered amphibian in North America. These toads once filled wetlands and rivers in southeastern Wyoming, but by the 1970s the population here was in decline. Insecticides, climate changes, disease and predators are all culprits. In 1993, The Nature Conservancy helped establish the Mortenson Lake National Wildlife Refuge in Wyoming to protect the remaining toads.
Radio tracking is common on larger species, such as sharks and turtles. But toad tracking requires adorably small transmitters due to the amphibians' small size. Wyoming toads average just 2 inches (5 centimeters) in length, and they are covered in warts.

A team of researchers studied young Ambon damselfish (
Pomacentrus amboinensis

. The scientists found that a damselfish can increase the size of the eyespot on its tail, in an effort to confuse predators into thinking the fish is swimming in the opposite direction, or to protect its head region from predator strikes and fatal attacks.
A juvenile damselfish has a lightly colored body and a conspicuous eyespot on its upper rear fins. This photo of a young Ambon damselfish shows a very
pronounced false eyespot

As we peer out over the landscape that is Summer Movie Season 2008, it is becoming increasingly difficult to see beyond the big shoulders of a big green guy, beyond the shadow cast by an icon in a fedora and beyond the wind-whipped cape of a cowled hero and his creepy arch nemesis. As cinema's most profitable and marketing-friendly time rolls on, it is becoming more and more difficult to wade through the big dogs and find those mid-level films that are true gems of both entertainment value and artistic excellence. And for an animated film such as Kung Fu Panda, it has been even tougher to stand out, with Pixar's next animated wonder — a cute little robot named Wall-E — looming right around the corner.
But for some reason it is Kung Fu Panda, the beautifully animated, cleverly written, fun-filled adventure of a panda named Po (voiced by Jack Black) that has stopped me dead in my tracks on this summer movie march. I would have thought that the story of a fat panda who is all of the sudden thrust into the world of Kung Fu masters, only to find out that his destiny is to rise up and defend his homeland from an incomprehensible evil would be one easily dismissed. Especially considering that it comes from Dreamworks Animation, a company who has become accustomed to playing second fiddle to the more innovative, and often more creative Pixar. But as it has happened before — and will probably happen again, frequently — I was wrong. Kung Fu Panda is not to be ignored, it is to be applauded as one of the most entertaining films of the year, thus far.
The other potential downfall, besides the track record of Dreamworks Animation and the somewhat odd story, is comedic actor Jack Black in the lead. In all of the marketing leading up to the film, the focus has been on Black's generally zany antics. And while I have long found Black to be entertaining in films such as High Fidelity, School of Rock and Be Kind Rewind, I am also reminded that he has had some roles that were a little too much: Nacho Libre and Orange Country, to name a few. As well, I have watched as so many comedic talents, including Jerry Seinfeld with Bee Movie and Martin Lawrence with Open Season, have made the jump to leading a big CG animated film only to fall flat on their faces, at least critically.
In this regard, Black turns out a performance that not only makes a hero of a fat panda, it makes a hero of an actor whose performances can often go either way. In the role of Po, Black is careful not to overdo it, allowing the comedy to come from a clever script and rich characters, while leaving all the unnecessary scatting and screaming for the next Tenacious D album. Combine that with some equally solid and not overcooked voice performances from Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, Seth Rogen, Lucy Liu, David Cross and Ian McShane, who is fantastic as the evil Tai Lung, and Kung Fu Panda has one of the best assembled voice casts since possibly Toy Story.
But as we know, a good voice cast is nothing without some beautiful animation. And while Dreamworks Animation has had success in the past with films such as Shrek and Over the Hedge, they have long been overshadowed in the visual department by the masters over at Pixar. This time around though, the animation is the star, combining some cuddly, fun animated characters with some vast, vivacious landscapes to create an amazing ancient world.
In fact, it is the stunning animation, combined with an ample story that keeps moving and doesn't linger, that ties it all together in one fun, panda-sized adventure that is enjoyable enough for kids young and old. I didn't expect to walk out of the theater a smiling, nearly giggling little kid, but I did. I also didn't expect to be blown away by some amazing visuals, but I was. As far as surprises go in the world of film, Kung Fu Panda is the best kind — one that can be had over and over again if necessary. So if you are looking for one of those truly enjoyable, warm and fuzzy summer surprises, I would recommend a big helping of fun, delivered by a kung fu fighting panda named Po.

Reviews by Green_Shady
Loved itGreen_Shady | July 28, 2013 | Review of Clive Barkers Jericho - PC
Coming from the perspective of a F.E.A.R, Splinter Cell, Tomb Raider, Assassins Creed fan: Game is pretty linear. There isn't much to explore or multiple ways to accomplish goals but I'm not complaining- if I wanted that I would play a different game. This is pretty chill in the sense that you don't have to worry about picking up enough health packs or ammo or forgetting to collect some relic or a critical door key or something. So that way this is way less stressful. The strength of this game is its storyline. Its an adventure. You get to control some pretty powerful folk so I believe the AI associated with the rest of your team mates has been deliberately made silly lest that you will have little to do if your team mates blow all the enemies to pieces - so you gotta stay alert and play meaningfully. Play on hard if you think the game is too easy. I enjoyed the variety of bosses and stumbling across the key aspects needed to defeat them. I would love to play a sequel for this. Game is not scary most of the time because you have company. But there are some parts when you get stuck with a single character isolated from your group which makes it a tad bid scary. Game introduces a pleasant mix of fictitious characters from different backgrounds whom I found to be very intriguing - also something to look forward to.

necessity on almost all spring over applications. Not only will a
torque arm stop axle wrap, but it can also serve as drive line protection
when installed properly. Our torque arms are fully adjustable for
whatever pinion angle you are running, and can be adjusted whenever ride
height changes. They are engineered to allow the axle to flex without
binding, while still preventing the axle from wrapping.
This is a complete torque arm kit and comes in a variety of lengths to
fit various applications. Every leaf spring vehicle that we build at
our shop ends up with one of these! This will keep you from getting
axle wrap and bending your springs. The lower tube is 2"x.250" wall
DOM, while the upper tube is 1.5"x.219" wall DOM. Both tubes are fish
mouthed and ready to weld to the bushing sleeve at the axle. On the
upper end, they are left long and can be cut to fit your application.
The lower heim joint is a 1.25"x1" chromoly heim joint with our 9/16"
high-misalignment spacers and tube insert. The upper heim is also a
chromoly 3/4x5/8" heim joint with our tube insert. All bushing
sleeves, bolts and shackle hardware are included.
These kits come UNWELDED and UNASSEMBLED! You will need to weld the torque arm brackets to the axle, as well as the tube inserts into the tubes. The tubing will come notched on one end where you will weld it to the bushing sleeve. You will cut the other end to length before welding in the tube inserts.
Many applications also require a cross-member or reinforced belly pan to weld the chassis end of the torque arm to. Be sure that you have a secure place to mount the chassis portion. If the shackle end is welded to some stock stamped cross-members, the cross-member will not last long!
