Our Military Influences
- Carmen Marie
What is Military Influence? How did this effect the Transcontinental railroads?
In the 1800's, railroads were made for transportation making it easier on Americans to travel from state to state. Making these railroads in territory that wasn't their own was an issue for the Natives and Americans. Not knowing what to do, the Americans brought in military to help clear out the Natives from their own land.
When there was conflict the military would be called, and instead of riding horses or wagons through the dessert they rode in the box cars making it easier for Americans to conquer land by using military force (Elliott West, "American Indians, and the Transcontinental Railroad"). Take the Nez Perce conflict in central Idaho. The U.S Military used force and strength in numbers to conquer the Nez Perce Indian's land, sending the great Chief Joesph and only 150-200 of his warriors high tailing to Canada. There they received acres of land due to their ancestors. Many women, children and men were taken prisoner by our soldiers as their fellow warriors abandoned them in battle. The Oregon war in 1851 was a war between the U.S and the Snake Indians. Another forceful move the U.S needed more land the "Snake's" obviously didn't want to leave there home land! But who would? The Snake's were guilty of provoking the U.S trying to get them to leave their land.
1,762 (Wikipedia, Snakes War) lives were lost those fateful nights so long ago. Losing human lives for transportation for possessions? It's typical... that's the sad part I wouldn't expect nothing less of the U.S or the Native Americans. So I concluded that Military Influences in the 1800's were cruel but intelligent they influenced the railroads by providing the space for the tracks and leading the U.S to victory each war they entered... Railroads are Bittersweet.

Government of Pakistan
Ministry of Science and Technology
"Water Research for Changing World"
UNESCO with the financial assistance from the Government of Japan is collaborating with PCRWR and Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) to further improve and strengthen the flood early warning system and management capacity of Pakistan. UNESCO in collaboration with PCRWR organized an international workshop on "Strategic data for reliable models and timely flood forecast" in Islamabad on 10-11 April, 2017. Mr. Fazal Abbas Maken, Federal Secretary, Ministry of Science and Technology while addressing the concluding session of workshop, emphasized the importance of generating accurate scientific data and its calibration. He further remarked that such studies are very important, it is necessary to extend these activities to Balochistan province as well which have its own network of rivers. He further appreciated the international experts for attending this important event. He also acknowledged the efforts of Chairman PCRWR for organizing international and national events on various aspects of water resources. Earlier, Dr. Shahbaz Khan, Regional Director, UNESCO Jakarta Office stressed that the present era is of friendship and collaboration. He admired the role of Ministry of Science and Technology for patronizing various initiatives taken through PCRWR. Dr. Muhammad Ashraf, Chairman PCRWR pointed out that simple problems have been solved in previous century. Now we have to deal the more complex issues which can't be solved by single mind rather multi-disciplinary and multi-sector approach is required. Mr. Takahiro Kanomi, Programme Director, International Hydrological Program, UNESCO also spoke the audience and thanked the organizers and participants for taking part in the workshop.Back

Ant Queen was the leader of an unassuming ant colony until Twin Masters came upon it, and used his Chaotic Energy to mutate and enlarge the ants. He intended to use the ants to dig down the molten core of the planet, but the plan was discovered by Mighty Ray, Mystique Sonia, and Yaksha. They were captured by ant soldiers and brought to Ant Queen, who sentenced them to be thrown in molten magma. They escaped, but were again discovered by Ant Queen and her warriors. Ant Queen attempted to attack Sonia while she was pinned under a rock, but was in turn clobbered by Mighty Ray. As Mighty Ray, Sonia and Yaksha made their escape, Ant Queen and her warriors pursued them, attacking them, but also seeking to escape the lava themselves. They were cured by Lin Chung's Harmonic Energy. Ant Queen then worked alongide First Squad and the other ants to seal up the tunnel so the the lava could not destroy Hidden Kingdom. It is unclear whether she joined Big Green after this point, as she was not seen again.
Ant Queen is hard-working and industrious, much like the other ants. She was unforgiving toward trespassers, though she was under the effect of Chaotic Energy at the time.
Powers and AbilitiesEdit
She was very strong, and was able to lift object significantly heavier than she was. While in her mutant form, she grasped an orb between her antennae which could project blasts of green energy.
- Ant Queen is distinguishable by her wings, a trait which only ant queens and drones possess. However, whereas real-world ant queens do little but lay eggs, she was highly mobile.

What is most striking about this author is her sense of almost childlike wonderment towards a world that is easily considered by most tarnished and gray. Her vision is based in what if's instead of impossibilities. It has been that dose of her enthusiasm for life that has built her incredible following. Her books start with her imagining how to take technology to the next futuristic level and then following the progression with the potential aftermath of that creation. It turns each book into a roller coaster of thrills for the brain. At the end of the day, her books touch upon loss, controversy, heartache, fascination with exploring technology limits, humor, family and a plot that will keep you invested until the very last second.
Ultimately, her popular detective Serena Wilcox has become an alter ego for Ms. Thomas. She told me that "Serena appeared in the last thread of one of my earlier books. I needed someone in to solve the crime and added her in, not realizing what impact she would have. Everyone loved her, so the Serena series was born." One of the most interesting facets of this authors approach is her willingness to accept input from her readers. She often includes interactive contests on her web page, where her fans get to vote on what characters should continue on to another book and who should never be heard from again. Another contest allowed readers to submit their pets names and description allowing the winner the fun of having their pet written into her next novel. "I love the idea of the readers driving my books," she admits, "it's all about the story." She did disclose that a new spinoff series was about to start, but did not reveal what character.
Her life has been filled with adventures, she was a tap dance instructor in Germany, has written and directed plays, is an oil painter with paintings displayed across countless exhibits and galleries, has written a newspaper column and for magazines, all in an effort to feed her creative appetite. Despite her successes, she is a wife and mother first and foremost and recalls having to walk away from her first publishing deal, because they wanted her to go on a six month book tour that would have taken her away from her family. An absolute deal breaker for this devoted mom of three. It was during this time in her life that she recognized the need to take control of her own destiny. She's been driving the bus ever since. Her three children, two daughters and one son, and her husband are her priority and she very fondly describes her husband as her biggest supporter, encouraging her right from the start. This nature lover wants to make a difference in our world and encourages the people she meets in her daily travels to do likewise.
"When I was in the second grade, I had written a story that my teacher had me read to the kindergarten class. The children were spelled bound. I could never forget that feeling of transporting those kids into my story, amazing," she stated tracing the moment she knew that writing was to be in her future. That kind of encouragement "propelled me towards my goals." Her advice to young writers, "put yourself out there, don't give up. Push your own vision through and don't be afraid to fail." She revealed that when she was a little girl she would imagine that her books would be in the library someday. The day that actually happened, "it was very emotional for me, such a sense of achievement to see a dream come true. Wow I did it." Her father died at the age of 37 and she remembers his words vividly "You'll be special someday I just know it." This proclamation has been a driving force in her lifetime pushing her to live up to that legacy. "You never know how much encouragement of a child could do. If you work with kids, make a difference in their lives through positive words." That sentiment is worth repeating, "you just never know what positive, encouraging words can stir inside a child." We could not agree more. This is a talented author not to be missed.

Web 2.0 protection for Wellington College
: 22 April, 2009
(Application Story)
College gains improved visibility across the network to protect students from on-line security risks
Synetix Solutions has announced Wellington College as a new customer for Palo Alto Networks, an innovative next-generation firewall manufacturer. Palo Alto Networks is helping the College improve network availability and security by limiting unauthorized use of so called
Web 2.0
and social networking applications that are impossible to detect using traditional firewalls.
Wellington College, one of the great British public schools, is an independent co-educational boarding and day school for 13 to 18 year olds. Under a new five-year development plan, Wellington has made significant investments in IT hardware, software and networking facilities to support the school's extensive network infrastructure which links almost every building, including all Houses and staff houses, and over 1,000 PCs and laptops owned either by the school or by pupils.
"We looked for a solution which would prevent students using anonymous proxies such as Tor to by-pass our security systems," explains Tony Whelton, Director of IT development and services for Wellington College. "After investigating several technologies, the Palo Alto Networks firewall provided a much better fit for the needs of the college by combining application visibility and control with intrusion prevention in one solution."
Since installation of the Palo Alto Networks firewall, Whelton stated. "Synetix delivered a smooth implementation and we are already able to quickly block unauthorized traffic across our network without any additional management overhead or performance limitations - it is a very simple solution to a long standing and growing problem."
Palo Alto Networks enables visibility and policy control of more than 800 applications running on enterprise networks by accurately identifying applications - regardless of port, protocol, evasive tactic or even SSL
- at 10Gbps with no performance degradation. The firewall can then block or curtail the ability of applications including peer-to-peer, social networks or even malicious software communication over the network.
"Many of the clients we are talking to believe that their current firewalls are adequate to protect and monitor their users," comments Rick Gray, Managing Director at Synetix Solutions. "Unfortunately there are a growing number of websites and applications that are designed to bypass and evade traditional firewalls and website filters to allow users to view illicit material or bring dangerous content into the network."
Gray believes that many organisations are getting frustrated with the inability of their current firewalls to block the growing tide of web-based application traffic with dated port or IP header techniques, and added, "As the line between authorised traffic and unauthorised traffic starts to blur, this problem is only getting worse. We have certain customers who are currently using Palo Alto Networks that routinely use Peer-to-Peer as a key part of their processes, and the ability to quickly segregate the useful from the resource-draining traffic down to the individual user or group is a facility they desperately need - especially as the growth in peering, social and collaborative networks shows now sign of slowing down."
Synetix are one of only a handful of Palo Alto Networks partners in the UK and Gray believes that by dedicating resources to this area early in its adoption cycle, Synetix look poised to become a successful UK partner for Palo Alto Networks. "We have invested heavily in training and accreditation and our business is geared up to meet the challenges of
and next generation security threats - and Palo Alto Networks is ideally positioned to help us meet these aims," he added.
Karl Driesen, VP EMEA at Palo Alto Networks commented, "Wellington is typical of a growing number of institutions and enterprise customers that realise the new generation of users are utilising a new generation of applications and tools. However, current defences are either redundant or cumbersome. Palo Alto Networks has anticipated this with a range of next-generation firewalls that use application visibility, user identity and content control in one, high performing platform to provide customers with the right balance of Internet user freedom and corporate control - in effect - loosening control without losing control!"

Now I wasn't raised a Cubs fan, and I'm not unemployed, so I can't say I'm really a fan of games that start at noon on a Wednesday. In fact, I detest them. This game ended so early I couldn't even catch the final inning on my ride home when my job ends at 3pm. Instead I tried to listen to a call-in radio show for about five minutes and failed miserably. Why anyone would want to listen to one analyst fielding calls from guys in their cars all taking their stabs at playing 'guest analyst' with some notes they've scribbled on a napkin that they can't seem to read while driving simultaneously is beyond me.
Aaaanyway, the Sox followed the model that has defined this season so far. One night after their brilliant 5-run fifth inning built entirely on 2-out hits, the Sox scored 2 in the first inning, then seemed to rest on their laurels. They went 0 for the last four innings of the game and didn't record an extra-base hit the entire game. Once again the Sox fell victim to the talents of Twins pitcher Carl Pavano because none of you do-nothing readers kidnapped him like I asked you to.
Now John Danks wasn't excellent Wednesday; he got tagged for a fair amount of hits in the early innings, some of them seeing-eye grounders, two of them doubles by Delmon Young hit hard enough to kill a bird from 300 feet away. While he was rarely overpowering or dominant (only three strikeouts), Danks settled down in later innings, and 3 runs in 7 innings still qualifies as a quality start.....easily. This game is either 2nd or tied with his 5 inning, 2-run performance against the Yankees as John Danks' worst start of the year, and you still could say that the Sox should have won this game if the offense was worth the polyester their uniforms were made with.
The Sox have always struggled and/or blatantly failed to hit Carl Pavano, which is a little annoying considering his career reputation is that of someone who has massively under-achieved given all the talent he has. Countless injuries have derailed his career for years at a time, and he's generally considered to be the premier example of the Yankees wasting money this decade. Maybe the whole 'lots of potential, disappointing output' dynamic that he has is what attracted Alyssa Milano to marry him.
Pavano didn't blow the Sox away today, and was clearly rattled by the wackiness of the first inning where the normally surgical Joe Mauer allowed Juan Pierre to score with a throwing error to first. Yet Pavano still threw a preposterous 70 out of 96 pitches for strikes. So I guess that whole working the count phenomenon of last night was just that.
It's hard to pick out elements of a game that I didn't really see, where nothing happened. Pierre continued to stay hot Wednesday, collecting two more hits (none of them doubles) and raising his average up to .252. The 1st inning was a fine example of what the Sox can accomplish with Pierre on base and utilizing his speed. Additionally, I really liked combining the speed of Rios and Pierre at the top of the order. Both have been excellent base-stealing threats so far this season, and I can't see any downside to making pitchers have to think about both of them simultaneously. Then again, maybe Pierre's only been successful stealing bases because catchers are afraid to throw next to Andruw Jones' massive swing; that guy needs to shorten things up...a lot. That said, Mark Kotsay is hitting .133 still, and Andruw (big swing and all) is second on the team in home runs. Once Jones gets back from his stiff neck injury, he needs to play every day.
Why on Earth are all our players getting stiff necks? Konerko, now Jones? Is the TV in the clubhouse 20 feet in the air? Are the shower heads only five feet tall? Is Ozzie strangling people? What's going on? Is Reinsdorf paying everyone so little that the guys are out on the streets performing...er...lewd acts in return for financial compensation, in a manner that strains their necks?
Why is it striking our best hitters? Is Alex Rios next? He probably isn't, because after he had an awful-looking strikeout last night that I thought could be the beginning of a bad string for Alex, he went 0 for 3 with 2 strikeouts on Wednesday. Like Beckham, Rios justifies his presence even if he were to stop hitting with excellent defense and speed. Carlos Quentin on the other hand, has no excuse. This is a guy who was without a doubt, going to win the AL MVP in 2008 going into September, and now we can't justify him getting playing time.
Naturally, there's only one thing we can blame this on; Carlos' wife. Carlos played 130 games in the 2008 season, hit .288 with a .394 OBP, and a .571 Slugging Percentage with 36 HR, 100 RBI, and 26 doubles. Quentin was married to Jeane Goff on November 28, 2008. Since then he has played an equal 130 games, hit .225, with a .322 OBP, and a .439 Slugging Percentage with 25 HR, 76 RBI, and 22 doubles. This would seem like paranoid ranting if it wasn't for that horrifying Sun-Times article from this Spring that described how Carlos had 'loosened up', was no longer compulsively practicing his swing at every opportunity, and was instead socializing and talking to teammates.
Can't you see what's happening here?!?!?!? He's 'calmed down'? He's no longer singularly obsessed with baseball? He's happier and friendlier???.....SHE'S RUINED HIM! We lost the gruff, ball-whacking knucklehead that could have carried us all the way. Now he's gone, awash in a tide of marital bliss and domesticity.
Anyone who followed the '05 team remembers them fondly as a tempestuous collection of drunks who couldn't be trusted to give coherent interviews and tore apart New York piano bars. Now this club smiles at everyone and produces stories like this.
You've been warned.

Sex allocation is the allocation of resources to male versus female reproduction in sexual species.[1] In dioecious species, where individuals are male or female for their entire lifetimes, the allocation decision lies between producing male or female offspring. In sequential hermaphrodites, where individuals function as one sex early in life and then switch to the other, the allocation decisions lie in what sex to be first and when to change sex. Animals may be dioecious or sequential hermaphrodites. Sex allocation theory has also been applied to plants, which can be dioecious, simultaneous hermaphrodites, have unisexual plants and hermaphroditic plants in the same population, or have unisexual flowers and hermaphroditic flowers on the same plant.[2]
- 1 Fisher's principle and equal sex allocation
- 2 Interactions between relatives
- 3 Trivers-Willard hypothesis
- 4 Sex allocation in plants
- 5 Mechanisms of sex allocation decisions
- 6 References
Fisher's principle and equal sex allocation[edit]
R.A. Fisher developed an explanation, known as Fisher's principle, of why sex ratios in many animals are 1:1.[3] If there were 10 times more females in a population than males, a male would on average be able to mate with more partners than a female would. Parents who preferentially invested in producing male offspring would have a fitness advantage over those who preferentially produced females. This strategy would result in increasing numbers of males in the population, thus eliminating the original advantage of males. The same would occur if there were originally more females than males in a population. The evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS) in this case would be for parents to produce a 1:1 ratio of males and females.
This explanation assumed that males and females are equally costly for parents to produce. However, if one sex were more costly than the other, parents would allot their resources to their offspring differentially. If parents could have two daughters for the same cost as one male because males took twice the energy to rear, parents would preferentially invest in daughters. Females would increase in the population until the sex ratio was 2 females: 1 male, meaning that a male could have twice the offspring a female could. As a result, males will be twice as costly while producing twice as many offspring, so that males and females provide the same proportion of offspring in proportion to the investment the parent allotted, resulting in an ESS. Therefore, parents allot equal investment of effort in both sexes. More generally, the expected sex ratio is the ratio of the allotted investment between the sexes, and is sometimes referred to as Fisherian sex ratios.
However, there are many examples of organisms that do not demonstrate the expected 1:1 ratio or the equivalent investment ratio. The idea of equal allocation fails to explain these expected ratios because it assume that relatives do not interact with one another, and that the environment has no effect.
Interactions between relatives[edit]
W.D. Hamilton hypothesized that non-Fisherian sex ratios can result when relatives interact with one another.[4] He argued that if relatives experienced competition for resources, or benefited from the presence of other relatives, then sex ratios would become skewed. This led to a great deal of research on whether competition or cooperation between relatives results in differential sex ratios that do not support Fisher's principle.
Local resource competition[edit]
Local resource competition (LRC) was first hypothesized by Anne Clark. She argued that the African bushbaby (Otolemur crassicaudatus) demonstrated a male-biased sex ratio because daughters associated with mothers for longer periods of time than did sons.[5] Since sons disperse further from the maternal territory than do daughters, they do not remain on the territories and do not act as competitors with mothers for resources.[5] Clark predicted that the effect of the LRC on sex allocation resulted in a mother investing preferentially in male offspring to reduce competition between daughters and herself.[5] By producing more male offspring that disperse and do not compete with her, the mother will have a greater fitness than she would if she had produced the ratio predicted by the equal investment theory.
Further research has found that LRC may influence the sex ratio in birds.[6] Passerine birds demonstrate largely daughter-based dispersal, while ducks and geese demonstrate mainly male-based dispersal. Local resource competition has been hypothesized to be the reason that passerine birds are more likely to be female, while ducks and geese are more likely to have male offspring.
Other studies have hypothesized that LRC is likely to influence sex ratios in roe deer,[7] as well as primates.[8] Consistent with these hypotheses, the sex-ratios in roe deer and several primates have been found to be skewed towards the sex that does not compete with mothers.[7][8]
Local mate competition[edit]
Local mate competition (LMC) can be considered a special type of LRC. Fig wasps lay fertilized eggs within figs, and no females disperse. In some species, males are wingless upon hatching and cannot leave the fig to seek mates elsewhere. Instead, males compete with their brothers in order to fertilize their sisters in the figs; after fertilization, the males die.[9] In such a case, mothers would preferentially adjust the sex ratio to be female-biased, as only a few males are needed in order to fertilize all of the females.[9] If there were too many males, competition between the males will result in some failing to mate, and the production of those males would therefore be a waste of the mother's resources. A mother that allotted more resources to the production of female offspring would therefore have greater fitness than one who produced fewer females.
Support for LMC influencing sex ratio was found by examining the sex ratios of different fig wasps.[10] Species with wingless males that can only mate with sisters were predicted to have higher rates of female-biased sex ratios, while species with winged males that can travel to other figs to fertilize non-related females were predicted to have less biased sex ratios.[10] Consistent with LMC influencing sex ratio, these predictions were found to be true.[10] In the latter case, LMC is reduced, and investment in male offspring is less likely to be "wasted" from the mother's point of view.
Research on LMC has focused on insects, such as wasps[11] and ants,[12] because they often face strong LMC. Other animals that often disperse from natal groups are much less likely to experience LMC.
Local resource enhancement[edit]
Local resource enhancement (LRE) occurs when relatives help one another instead of competing with one another in LRC or LMC. In cooperative breeders, mothers are assisted by her previous offspring in raising new offspring. In animals with these systems, females are predicted to preferentially have offspring that are the helping sex if there are not enough helpers. However, if there are already enough helpers, it is predicted that females would invest in offspring of the other sex, as this would allow them to increase their own fitness by having dispersing offspring with a greater rate of reproduction than the helpers. It is also predicted that the strength of the selection upon the mothers to adjust the sex ratio of their offspring depends upon the magnitude of the benefits they gain from their helpers.
These predictions were found to be true in African wild dogs, where females disperse more rapidly than males from their natal packs.[13] Males are therefore more helpful towards their mothers, as they remain in the same pack as her and help provide food for her and her new offspring. The LRE the males provide is predicted to result in a male-biased sex ratio, which is the pattern observed in nature. Consistent with predictions of LRE influencing sex ratios, African wild dog mothers living in smaller packs were seen to produce more male-biased sex ratios than mothers in a larger pack, since they had fewer helpers and would benefit more from additional helpers than mothers living in larger packs.[13]
Evidence for LRE leading to sex ratios biased in favor of helpers has also been found in a number of other animals, including the Seychelles warbler[14] (Acrocephalus sechellensis) and various primates.[8]
Trivers-Willard hypothesis[edit]
The Trivers-Willard hypothesis provides a model for sex allocation that deviates from Fisherian sex ratios. Trivers and Willard (1973) originally proposed a model that predicted individuals would skew the sex ratio of males to females in response to certain parental conditions, which was supported by evidence from mammals.[15] Though individuals may not consciously decide to have fewer or more offspring of the same sex, their model suggested that individuals could be selected to adjust the sex ratio of offspring produced based on their ability to invest in offspring, if fitness returns for male and female offspring differ based on these conditions.[15] While the Trivers-Willard hypothesis applied specifically to instances where preferentially having female offspring as maternal condition deteriorates was more advantageous, it spurred a great deal of further research on how environmental conditions can differentially affect sex ratios, and there are now a number of empirical studies that have found individuals adjust their ratio of male and female offspring.[16][17][18][19]
Food availability[edit]
In many species, the abundance of food in a given habitat dictates the level of parental care and investment in offspring. This, in turn, influences the development and viability of the offspring. If food availability has differential effects on the fitness of male and female offspring, then selection should shift offspring sex ratios based on specific conditions of food availability. Appleby (1997) proposed evidence for conditional sex allocation in a study done on tawny owls (Strix aluco).[16] In tawny owls, a female-biased sex ratio was observed in breeding territories where there was an abundance of prey (field voles).[16] In contrast, in breeding territories with a scarcity of prey, a male-biased sex ratio was seen.[16] This appeared to be adaptive because females demonstrated higher reproductive success when prey density was high, whereas males did not appear to have any reproductive advantage with high prey density. Appleby hypothesized that parents should adjust the sex ratio of their offspring based on the availability of food, with a female sex bias in areas of high prey density and a male sex bias in areas of low prey density. The results support the Trivers-Willard model, as parents produced more of the sex that benefited most from plentiful resources.
Wiebe and Bortolotti (1992) observed sex ratio adjustment in a sexually dimorphic (by size) population of American kestrels (Falco sparverius). In general, the larger sex in a species requires more resources than the smaller sex during development and is thus more costly for parents to raise. Wiebe and Bortolotti provided evidence that kestral parents produced more of the smaller (less costly) sex given limited food resources and more of the larger (more costly) sex given an abundance of food resources.[17] These findings modify the Trivers-Willard hypothesis by suggesting sex ratio allocation can be biased by sexual size dimorphism as well as parental conditions.
Maternal condition or quality[edit]
A study by Clutton-Brock (1984) on red deer (Cervus elaphus), a polygynous species, examined the effects of dominance rank and maternal quality on female breeding success and sex ratios of offspring. Based on the Trivers-Willard model, Clutton-Brock hypothesized that the sex ratio of mammalian offspring may change according to maternal condition, where high-ranked females should produce more male offspring and low-ranked females should produce more female offspring.[18] This is based on the assumption that high-ranked females are in better condition, so that they have more access to resources and can afford to invest more in their offspring. In the study, high-ranked females were shown to give birth to healthier offspring than low-ranked females, and the offspring of high-ranked females also developed into healthier adults.[18] Clutton-Brock suggested that the advantage of being a healthy adult was more beneficial for male offspring because stronger males are more capable of defending harems of females during breeding seasons. Therefore, Clutton-Brock proposed that males produced by females in better conditions are more likely to have greater reproductive success in the future than males produced by females in poorer conditions.[18] These findings support the Trivers-Willard hypothesis, as parental quality affected the sex of their offspring, in such a way as to maximize their reproductive investment.
Mate attractiveness and quality[edit]
Similar to the idea behind the Trivers-Willard hypothesis, studies show that mate attractiveness and quality may also explain differences in sex ratios and offspring fitness. Weatherhead and Robertson (1979) predicted that females bias the sex ratio of their offspring in favor of sons if they are mated to more attractive and better quality males.[20] This is related to Fisher's "sexy son" hypothesis, which suggests a causal link between male attractiveness and the quality of sons based on the inheritance of "good genes" that should improve the reproductive success of sons. Fawcett (2007) predicted that it is adaptive for females to adjust their sex ratio to favor sons in response to attractive males. Based on a computer model, he proposed that if sexual selection favors costly male traits, i.e. ornamentation, and costly female preferences, females should produce more male offspring when they mate with an attractive male compared to an unattractive male.[19] Fawcett proposed that there is a direct correlation between female bias for male offspring and attractiveness of their mate. Computer simulations have costs and constraints, and selection may be weaker in natural populations than it was in Fawcett's study. While his results provide support for the Trivers-Willard hypothesis that animals adaptively adjust the sex ratio of offspring due to environmental variables, further empirical studies are needed to see if sex ratio is adjusted in response to mate attractiveness.
Sex change[edit]
The principles of the Trivers-Willard hypothesis can also be applied to sequentially hermaphroditic species, in which individuals undergo sex change. Ghiselin (1969) proposed that individuals change from one sex to another as they age and grow because larger body size provides a greater advantage to one sex than the other.[21] For example, in the bluehead wrasse, the largest males have 40 times the mating success of smaller ones.[22] Thus, as individuals age, they can maximize their mating success by changing from female to male. Removal of the largest males on a reef results in the largest females changing sex to male, supporting the hypothesis that competition for mating success drives sex change.
Sex allocation in plants[edit]
A great deal of research has focused on sex allocation in plants to predict when plants would be dioecious, simultaneous hermaphrodites, or demonstrate both in the same population or plant. Research has also examined how outcrossing, which occurs when individual plants can fertilize and be fertilized by other individuals or selfing (self-pollination) affect sex allocation.
Selfing in simultaneous hermaphrodites has been predicted to favor allocating fewer resources to the male function, as it is hypothesized to be more advantageous for hermaphrodites to invest in female functions, so long as they have enough males to fertilize themselves.[1][23] Consistent with this hypothesis, as selfing in wild rice (Oryza perennis) increases, the plants allocate more resources to the female function than to male.[23]
Charlesworth and Charlesworth (1981) applied similar logic to both outcrossing and selfing species, and created a model that predicted when dioecy would be favored over hermaphroditism, and vice versa.[24] The model predicted that dioecy evolves if investing in one sexual function has accelerating fitness benefits than investing in both sexual functions, while hermaphroditism evolves if investing in one sexual function had decreasingly lower fitness benefits.[24] It has been difficult to measure exactly how much fitness individual plants are able to gain from investing in one or both sexual functions,[2][25] and further empirical research is needed to support this model.
Mechanisms of sex allocation decisions[edit]
Depending on the mechanism of sex determination for a species, decisions about sex allocation may be carried out in different ways.
In haplodiploid species, like bees and wasps, females control the sex of offspring by deciding whether or not to fertilize each egg. If she fertilizes the egg, it will become diploid and develop as a female. If she does not fertilize the egg, it will remain haploid and develop as a male. In an elegant experiment, researchers showed that female N. vitripennis parasitoid wasps altered the sex ratio in their offspring in response to the environmental cue of eggs laid by other females.[26]
Historically, many theorists have argued that the Mendelian nature of chromosomal sex determination limits opportunities for parental control of offspring sex ratio.[1][27][28] However, adaptive adjustment of sex ratio has been found among many animals, including primates,[8] red deer,[29] and birds.[14][30] The exact mechanism of such allocation is unknown, but several studies indicate that hormonal, pre-ovulatory control may be responsible.[31][32] For example, higher levels of follicular testosterone in mothers, signifying maternal dominance, correlated with a higher chance of forming a male embryo in cows.[31] Higher corticosterone levels in breeding female Japanese quails were associated with female-biased sex ratios at laying.[33]
In species that have environmental sex determination, like turtles and crocodiles, the sex of an offspring is determined by environmental features such as temperature and day length. The direction of bias differs between species. For example, in turtles with ESD, males are produced at lower temperatures, but in many alligators, males are produced at higher temperatures.[34][35]

Very iffy device this one. Lots of mismatching information about it all over the place and I'm not a fan of the look at least online. Will need to see it in person before I decide I guess.

Cortana, Wake me up when iPhone 7 is about to get launched, okay?
3. NexusX (Posts: 562; Member since: 16 May 2013)
samsung is on a tick-tock release cycle to avoid direct competition with apple
when apple ticks, samsung tocks, now it looks like samsung is ticking with the S7.
i suppose its a good strategy.

They will be ticking with the Note 6 which is supposed to launch alongside iphone 7...

More like Samsung does nothing until apple does something, than they copy it the next year.
3D touch.

I'm certainly not a Samsung fanboy but you sound like a Apple one who trolls Samsung for no reason
7. Xperia14 (Posts: 914; Member since: 01 Sep 2015)
Lol, I'd rather have an IP-rating, a huge battery, sAMOLED and micro SD. You may keep your useless 3D touch.
8. sissy246 (Posts: 4024; Member since: 04 Mar 2015)
And like Apple has not ever copied Samsung.
9. j2001m (Posts: 3005; Member since: 28 Apr 2014)
So when Apple copy Sony and Samsung with ip68 what will you say then?

Heartfelt help
Ahmad Tea has been engaged in charitable work in Ukraine since 2002, undertaking over hundred different projects.
Our main focus is on orphanages and schools. We have supported the children in their social and educational development, organising extra courses to enable students to continue their studies, providing laboratory equipment and organising guided tours to broaden the children's horizons. We also encourage the orphanages to provide socialisation training for the children, so that they can lead independent adult lives when they leave. We do this, for example, by purchasing equipment to further their sports, metalworking, sewing or farming skills.
We have also helped the students in their daily lives by providing furniture, arranging for repairs to be made, and organising transport. We have purchased sports equipment, organised and paid for trips, and bought and installed new medical equipment.
Assistance for visually impaired children
In addition to the work with the boarding schools, we have supported the "Right of Choice" Centre, where visually impaired children from all over Ukraine are brought, to experience and benefit from various specialist equipment, such as the dry swimming pool, sensory ball, specialised books and the electric Bryler's machine.
We were also able to assist in raising funds for a much-needed operation for a girl born with a heart defect. With the support of her classmates and tutors, fourteen-year-old Maria made a full recovery.
As well as material things, our Charity Manager in the Ukraine, has organised educational displays in each of the orphanages, that warn the children of the threat of drug and alcohol abuse and AIDS.

The last time that we saw the Reebok Pump Omni Lite the sneakers were dipped in a bunch of sly NBA team looks via the "Tribute Pack". This time around the sneakers are just a little bit more neutral in this white/black/orange colorway. The good news is that the wait for them won't be long, as Reebok Classics accounts will have them in stores come this Friday. Take a better look at the Reebok Pump Omni Lites in question below and watch for sneaker release date updates right here.

Another piece in the puzzle After two days entirely dedicated to technical verifications, the 54 cars were finally allowed on the Sarthois circuit of the 24 Hours of Le Mans yesterday for their first qualifying...
Another piece in the puzzle
After two days entirely dedicated to technical verifications, the 54 cars were finally allowed on the Sarthois circuit of the 24 Hours of Le Mans yesterday for their first qualifying session.
As soon as the 13,629 km long circuit was officially opened, Audi and Peugeot quickly set a fast pace, driving under 3'30 in the first 15 minutes of the session. At 19h29 Frank Biela with his Audi Michelin n1 realised the fastest time of 3'28301. This was the time to beat until late that evening.
In fact after a violent accident of Lamborghini n53 race direction was forced to red flag the session for 45 minutes, and then at 20h53 when the session reopened it began to rain between Mulsane and Arnage!
The rain progressively stopped during the second part of the session, but the humid conditions did not allow for much improvement in lap times until the Corvettes Michelin switched to their slicks at 23h30. 18 minutes to the end of the session at 23h42 exactly, Stephane Sarrazin driving his Peugeot n8, realised the flying time of 3'27029 and took pole position. Audi n2 did not take long to react with Allan McNish bringing home a splendid 3'27017 at 23h53, going on to sign an even faster time on the next lap: 3'26916.
Stephane Sarrazin with Peugeot-Michelin took the provisional pole position on his last lap at two minutes past midnight with a fantastic 3'26344, beating the 3'26707 performance by Sebastien Bourdais during testing last June 3, 2007.
Matthieu Bonardel 4 Wheel Competition Director
"Yesterday the first qualifying session was disrupted by red flags and the rain. The circuit conditions were very poor with little adherence. We therefore were unable to gather a lot of information. The second session proved a lot better. With the amount of rain that we encountered the teams were able to familiarise themselves with the different types of rain tyres at hand. We were running under drying and evolutionary conditions which allowed us to test several different configurations. This is extremely beneficial for the teams and Michelin, and we were able to progress and identify the right tyre for the right moment. Strategically it is very important not to make a misjudgement during the race. We have to be able to choose the right tyre, at the right moment, and find the best compromise. There is a lot of anticipation involved in our work. For example if there are rain showers, you need to know if the driver is going to be on the circuit one hour or an hour and a half, and determine how the circuit will evolve during this period. Will the intermediate tyres be a disaster if it starts to rain? Will the rain tyres perform well under dry conditions? We constantly have to find answers and react to these eventualities. Yesterday, we were able to work in the same manner as during the dry test days.
Today was indispensable; it was an additional piece of the puzzle which will be very important on Saturday due to the predicted unstable weather conditions. During this session the teams which selected the right tyres at the right time were extremely satisfied. We have always been able to provide the tyre which fulfils their requirements.
Hence the importance of choosing the right tyre at the right time in order to avoid risks. In this respect a Michelin technician has an added value to his role as advisor. It is paramount for Michelin to continue to perfect our experience this evening.
Stephane Sarrazin, Peugeot Michelin
"I took pole position with soft tyres. During my fastest lap, I passed four cars and took a lot of risks, but in order to do a fast lap at Le Mans you are almost obliged to do so. The track started to dry and towards the end of the session we were able to put on slicks. I was extremely pleased with the Michelin tyres performance. Today we are going to concentrate on the race at hand. "

As a 2009 Fulbright-Nehru Research Scholar in Education, I will examine the efficacy of using drama as an educational pedagogy with elementary-aged students at Children's Garden School in Chennai and the Ellen Sharma School in Sholinganallur to develop within them investment in and deeper understanding of mythological history as portrayed through architecture to expand students' conception of their contemporary cultural identities.
A drama-based process offers students two important steps that bring them to a deeper understanding and appreciation of the mythological representations: 1) Engaged by creating performances based on examinations of and inquiry into the mythologies depicted in the architecture, students develop a strong personal investment in the material, and 2) By dramatically interpreting the material, students learn to 'essentialize' the material, discovering the heart of the mythological histories and drawing meaning they can apply to their contemporary lives. As I partner with teachers and schools to guide students through the process, I will have the opportunity to closely examine how students respond to and benefit from the process.
My core objectives are: 1) To develop a model approach for engaging Indian students in their personal and communal cultural heritage, 2) To examine the effectiveness of the proposed model with students of a culture I have had little contact with, 3) To understand effectiveness of applying the model to material culture, such as architecture, and 4) To synthesize my findings to make them available and accessible to Indian teachers. The curricular approach is multi-layered, demonstrating how drama can be comprehensively integrated in the classroom as a pedagogical tool for investigating other subject matter. Over the course of the proposed project, the teachers and I will guide students to: 1) Experiment with drama techniques, to gain comfort and facility with the methodology, 2) Visit and view the architecture, 3) Explore their interpretations and understandings of the material through drama, 4) Listen to and read accounts connected to the mythology depicted in the architecture, 5) Investigate the stories, meanings and symbolism of the mythological history, 6) Imagine, create and reflect on dramatizations related to their newly uncovered understanding of the mythological history, 7) Share and evaluate their work, 8) Discuss and reflect on how the themes are relevant to life today, and 9) Throughout, keep reflective journals about their processes, learning and reactions As the students collaborate to build dramatic interpretations of the mythologies portrayed in the architecture they study, they will gain skills in cooperative learning, text analysis, symbolic interpretation, verbal and non-verbal communication and expression, risk-taking, self-assessment, and meta-cognition. These skills are essential contributors to personal investment in learning.
As students slowly come to understand how these various skills contribute to success accomplishment of their goals, they will become more cognizant of their use and more facile with employing them. In addition, the repeated involvement with the focus material—the mythological histories—will contribute to a better and deeper understanding of that material and a stronger personal connection to it.
My continuing interest focuses on developing engaging methods for connecting and reconnecting students and teachers with significant elements of their cultural traditions that support personal investment while prompting in-depth investigation of the purpose of such materials: historically, for the culture or community; personally, for individuals' sense of self-identity; and educationally, for engaging students in multiple layers of learning that develop higher order thinking skills and give a grounded purpose to education as a daily and personal experience.
To discover how effectively students can 'read,' explore, relate to and eventually come to better understand history-infused architecture will provide new challenges for me, offering opportunities to expand my practice and to further demonstrate the role of drama as a significant pedagogical approach to facilitating effective learning experiences for young people. My personal risks will be concentrated in how I handle the early steps of facilitating the students' development of their own interpretations of the architecture. I will need to consider whether to have them develop dramatic interpretations based on their suppositions or immediately compare their personal interpretations to the carvers/sculptors' intentions before dramatizing the latter. Whatever the decision is, I find this the most fascinating and least understood (by me) part of the process of viewing and interpreting. If I contend that the "seeing" is too often taken for granted, how do I encourage the students to look more thoroughly during the visit we will take to the temples? How long can I sustain their attention on a single carving if they have previously visited it; if they have encountered it through reading, school, or in some other fashion unknown to me; if they are convinced they already know the story represented in the picture and don't feel the necessity to look closer; or if someone thinks they know what is represented and influences the others who may not have known? Then, once we have examined the carvings in detail, how do we analyze and interpret them? Should we start with dramatic interpretations? Should they write? Discuss? How do I generate both a sense of excitement about the analysis and a personal stake in discovering what story or stories are imbedded and/or suggested within? And finally, will the personal investment be stronger if they dramatize their interpretations or compare their ideas to what the sculptors' intent was first and then dramatize the sculptors' intents? And, throughout this process, will anyone question whether we are teaching the "wrong" or "incorrect" interpretations?
I also wonder how I will simultaneously track and assess how these students develop a greater capacity and/or desire to "see" that which they might otherwise take for granted, and how the process will encourage them to apply a similar process to other objects of cultural or communal significance that surround them. And, most significantly, I wonder what influence all this will have on their contemporary lives, or if it will matter to them at all.
My desire is to enrich the students by challenging myself with the support of my Indian partners, and so I make this public statement of a personal challenge to hold myself to that goal. I hope someone asks me not what happened, but how I held myself to that challenge and what I learned from it, what risks I took, and how the students benefitted from them. And, most specifically, whether I fell back on what I am comfortable with and missed the opportunity presented me by this incredible gift. The potential benefits for the field of drama as an educational pedagogy are significant. The field has focused primarily on three broad approaches to drama as an effective tool for learning: First, with the artform at the center of the learning; students studying and practicing to become skilled artists; Second, drama as a tool for engaging students in virtual experiences of ethical dilemmas and issue-oriented events to challenge students to imaginatively consider and act on thoughtful choices and their consequences; and Third, the utilization of drama to expand and develop literacy skills. My continued contention is that individuals benefit from drama experiences applied to culture, community and history, not only developing a more comprehensive understanding of each, but also developing a personal investment in each that contributes to a richer definition of themselves culturally and their place in the community becoming more intrinsically motivated learners in the process.

Love Your Tits Scott Hancock - What a big girl she is
Do you know a girl who drives around town wearing nothing more than a bra and some thong panties? Me neither but then again I don't know Holly Haston. The guys took her up in the hills and had her pull over for a roadside quickie. But once they released those beautiful tits with the pepperoni-sized areola things got too hot to just fuck her on the asphalt so they brought her inside bent her over doggystyle and railed inside that wet pussy. See Holly not only has an amazing set of tits but a meaty ass that deserves to be fucked from behind. They pulled her ass cheeks so far apart that you can see her asshole wink at you and she soon had a monster load splattered all over her jiggly tits.This blonde is built like a brick shithouse!*Monique*

Do you like it so far?
I liked it, but I really really hope it's not going to be about aliens. I'm not into that, I don't want it to get sci-fi. I like the idea of the insane asylum/weird experiments on patients but it's not very original. But I'm sure they'll throw in some weird curves.
I love ghost stories, that's why I loved last season so much. The haunted house and getting to know all of the ghosts and their back stories was great, that's the kind of stuff I like. It doesn't seem like this one is going to be about ghosts as much.
I'm just glad Tate is back, he's my fav.

Number of new backers: 8. Total backers: 145. Funding £4,631. Percentage funded 92%. Days to go: 4.
10% in a day. Today I sent three updates to my backers, it's just been so exciting. Mencap asked for a blog post, one school bursar was persuaded to back the project. Kicktraq shows us trending to reach the goal. 84% of projects fail, I'm daring to think this might be one of the ones to succeed and I've started concocting smells for the backers who've pledged for the smell reward. Everything is happening so fast I can barely keep up and facing the blank blog screen is disorientating as it's the first time I've looked up in the day to wonder what I'm doing.

. Explosive mortar does heavy damage to .
Tactics Edit
Offensive: Fast moving but like all artillery they take time to adjust their firing trajectory so be sure to keep these away from the front lines. When leveled is reasonably useful against low level rare recon units and worse. Not particularly good by itself, but at a super cheap cost and recharge are easy to spam. Keep an eye on the 18 range as well because many tanks have a higher range meaning your cheap artillery will drive right past and become target practice for the enemy.
Defensive: Artillery is slow to set up and it's also one of the weakest artillery units in the game inflicting no more than 310 damage per shot, not to mention its armor is non existent making it easy to destroy. Any tank, even a max common tank, will beat this with ease. It can't target aircraft so they are also an effective counter. Just don't let the enemy spam 10+ of them behind a wall of tanks because then you're in for a fight.
Variants Edit
The Mehmed XVI joins a very unique club of units which have no variants.
How to Obtain Edit
- Bronze, Silver, & Gold Chests
