Inspired by the true story of a nun's relationship with a condemned man, this provocative examination of crime, punishment and redemption earned Susan Sarandon the 1995 Oscar for best Actress and Sean Penn on Oscar nomination for Best Actor.
Sister Helen Prejean (Sarandon), a compassionate New Orleans nun, is the spiritual advisor to Matthew Poncelet (Penn), a vicious, angry and complex murderer awaiting execution. Her dedication is to help others, like Matthew, find salvation. But as she attempts to navigate Matthew's dark soul, she encounters a depth of evil that makes her question how far redemption can really go. Can she stave off the fateful day of execution long enough to save Matthew, or will she discover a truth that will rock the very foundation by which she lives her life?

The last post from the series of Umineko no Naku Koro ni pilgrimages. This time, it's the house that has become the model for the guest house that appears in Umineko no Naku Koro ni. Kyuu Furukawa Teien was built in 1917 by a British architect Josiah Conder, the same architect who designed Kyuu Iwasaki Teien. The park is open daily until 5 PM and the admission is 150 yen. There seem to be some guided excursions of the interior of the house three times a day (10:30, 13:00, 14:30), but I missed that.
Some more photos:
It's very easy to get there. The nearest stations are Komagome (Yamanote Line) and Kami-Nakazato (Keihin-Touhoku Line). Here is the map.

text: Sometime, before Urahara even conceived the concept of the Hōgyoku, Sōsuke Aizen had already come to the same conclusion, having created one of his own. Realizing that it was still incomplete, Aizen presented to it the souls of hundreds upon hundreds of Shinigami and Rukongai citizens, to no avail. In time, Aizen analyzed the research data concerning Urahara's own Hōgyoku, learning that it too, was incomplete. With this in mind, Aizen sought to steal Urahara's Hōgyoku, and to present it to his own.[1] Roughly 101 years before the current time, Sōsuke Aizen put an experiment into motion that would put the true capabilities of the Hōgyoku to the test. With the help of his subordinates, he forcibly caused Shinji Hirako and a number of other Shinigami captains and lieutenants to undergo Hollowfication. In an attempt to reverse the damage Aizen had caused, Kisuke Urahara attempted to use the Hōgyoku on them. However, while it succeeded in stabilizing their souls, it failed to undo the Hollowfication. Framed for the incident by Aizen, Kisuke fled to the world of the living with the group of Shinigami, bringing his Hōgyoku along with him. Eventually, the group of Shinigami gained control over their newfound Hollow powers and became known as the Visored, rogues rumored to have gained Hollow powers through illegal means.[2] True, this never was revealed in Chapter 305.1-11, most people believe it was a virus. I can understand why people dont want to believe it. But, I think it is the best answer. Charon12 (talk) 16:47, August 18, 2011 (UTC)

Lenovo has been setting new records with its A6000 smartphone in India. The 4G LTE-enabled smartphone that went up on sale today at 2PM is said to have sold out within a mere 4 seconds.
The e-commerce giant Flipkart had started selling the 20,000 units of the phone to pre-registered users at 2 pm today. Later, Lenovo tweeted that all units of the device were sold in just 4 seconds. The next sale is on February 25 and the registrations will begin at 6PM today. As usual, users will have to register again for the next sale.
Recommended: Sony SmartEyeglass Developer Edition Now on Sale in Select Markets
At just Rs. 6,999, Lenovo A6000 is one of the cheapest 4G LTE capable smartphone in the market. The dual-SIM phone is powered by a 1.2GHz 64-bit quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor coupled with 1GB of RAM, 8GB internal memory and a microSD card slot.
The device is also stuffed with an 8MP rear camera, and a 2MP front facing shooter. The phone runs on Android 4.4 KitKat out of the box. The makers have added a 2,300mAh battery pack.
The Lenovo A6000 is still a superb smartphone and the price is significantly lower than most mid-end handsets with 4G LTE connectivity, which is why it's still one of our favourite smartphones. The design is impressive, it's as powerful as you need and the screen is great. The device competes against the likes of Samsung Galaxy J1, Xiaomi Redmi 1S and the Moto E.


text: NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR), the global leader in consumer transaction technologies, announced today that its Telecom & Technology line of business is providing maintenance and deployment services to the largest independent network and hosting integrator in Europe, Easynet. This includes provision of a complete end-to-end solution of equipment sourcing, staging, shipping and installation services, with lifecycle management of parts and labor. This allows Easynet to focus on network delivery, configuration and management for its customers, with NCR delivering the hardware and installation services element for specific projects. An early example of the NCR and Easynet partnership is a highly successful, rapid deployment early in 2014 when Campofrio Food Group chose to work with Easynet Global Services to transform its IT infrastructure at over 40 sites internationally in just six weeks. With a global footprint of 13,000 service professionals in more than 180 countries around the world, NCR is well positioned to partner with Easynet virtually anywhere their customers wish. NCR provides maintenance and deployment services through a specialist team of project management and technical professionals to enable technology providers, like Easynet, to operate more effectively and efficiently, and grow their businesses. The result is customer projects, including Campofrio's IT transformation, delivered on time, on plan and on budget and with the flexibility you would expect of a global technology company, such as NCR. "Good business is about strong relationships that add value to our customers. NCR has the reach and expertise that enable Easynet to exceed customer expectations and deliver complex projects quickly, on time and on budget," said Christophe Verdenne, managing director for Southern Europe at Easynet. "The design and accelerated delivery of Campofrio Food Group's IT transformation was one such project. Their vision and desire for change, coupled with Easynet's track record in rolling out global projects and NCR's global service capabilities has resulted in a powerful and potent IT infrastructure that is ready for the future."

Oilers lose 3-0 ...Game Over

I'm no big fan of MC79 but man did he ever nail it in that blog.
Reading through the PGT yesterday I was prompted to go to the CHED audiovault to listen to just how bad Tencer's show was last night ... and it was bad.
That post game show (and unfortunately Rob Brown has to be included here) was terribly disappointing to fans who care about this team. I was so furious with the apologizing going on in that broadcast that I was considering putting together some of the quotes and writing a post similar to the blog MC79 posted. But then I thought, **** it because it was after midnight and why waste good energy on a team that obviously doesn't care what the fans think. So I am very glad that MC79 put that blog post up, and I urge fans here who may not have listened to the CHED postgame show last night to go to the audiovault page and check it out.
I think what Tencer and Brown don't understand (and I can't fathom why they wouldn't understand this) is that the fans aren't mad that the team lost to the Blues last night. They are mad that this team is losing for the sixth or seventh straight season and management/ownership seems to have no response other than to throw out some meaningless quotes for use in the next episode of Oil Change.
Fans are tired of the losers running this show. We are tired of the owner who is running this franchise into the ground while threatening the city with various dire consequences if he doesn't get the new arena he feels he deserves after a tenure as owner that could be described as nothing less that disastrous.
Not only should we be booing this sadsack team, we should start booing at the drop of the first puck. Why wait? This group of losers deserves to be booed whenever they are seen in public. The tools running this show need to know that just because they don't have any pride in the sweater that doesn't mean the fans are lapping up the **** they are selling.
Tencer and Brown claim the boos "help" the opposition get fired up. Fine - actually great. I honestly don't care if this team wins another game until Tamby gets fired. Let the boos rain down and let the opposition revel in them. This collection of losers wearing Oilers jerseys aren't worth cheering for. And everyone associated with the organization needs to understand that in the clearest way possible.
Mowzie made a post above that didn't get much notice. He said he called into CHED and asked about the lazy Oiler's practice he watched, and how he wondered why a team as bad as the Oilers wouldn't be practicing a whole lot harder than what he witnessed. I happened to hear that call and I couldn't believe the way Tencer scoffed the notion away. And then to hear the same radio host come out and say that this team is trying hard enough - and to have the captain say "its not like anyone in the room has given up" .... well, these are just insults added to injury.
Props to Disgruntled Goat for his excellent post above as well.

Award Shortlist for Risk and Compliance Management Software
: 17 February, 2010
(New Product)
Citicus ONE has been shortlisted by SC Magazine for the best security management product for providing information risk management for major commercial banking clients
Citicus Limited's flagship Citicus ONE risk and compliance management software has been shortlisted by SC Magazine for two Awards, Best Security Management Product / Service Award and Innovation Award.
Citicus ONE is also the cornerstone of Barclays Global Retail and Commercial Banking's Information
Risk Management
Process which was shortlisted for Best Information Security Project of the Year Award.
SC Magazine's Awards recognise excellence in information security. Judging of the technology and industry awards is by an impartial panel of information security professionals from major European and global organizations including investment banks, retails banks, retail groups, airlines, insurance groups, food groups and government departments.
Winners will be announced at the SC Awards Europe 2010 ceremony and dinner on Tuesday 27th April 2010.
Responding to SC Magazine's shortlisting, Citicus managing director Simon Oxley says: 'We're proud to have been shortlisted for two of SC Magazine's prestigious awards and to be the solution provider for Barclays' Information
Risk Management
Process. This is a strong endorsement of what we and our customers have achieved since we won SC Magazine's Editors choice Award in 2003.'
Citicus director Marco Kapp, chief architect of the risk methodology implemented by Citicus ONE, explains what's behind its success: 'Citicus ONE's key strength is that it equips businesses to measure and manage the risk posed by their IT-based information systems using a highly-efficient, proportionate and scalable method that is based on extensive research - not guesswork. These qualities are essential in today's economic environment where businesses and government agencies are looking to streamline their activities and build
Risk Management
processes that really work.'
Citicus director Sian Alcock, who oversees Citicus ONE's development adds:
'Being shortlisted for SC Magazine's 2010 Innovation Award reflects the way we continually extend our software to help our customers deal with fresh challenges. We do this in close collaboration with them. The latest version of Citicus ONE enables organisations to measure and manage the risk posed not just by IT but by the entire range of assets, entities, processes and activities on which they depend, including IT- and non-IT-based information systems, sites, business processes, privacy-related projects, and suppliers of goods or services. It comes pre-loaded with different 'bases of evaluation'. These define the precise issues to be probed when assessing particular areas of risk. Customers can easily enhance these or configure their own. Thus the system is very flexible. Because the same principles are applied, different areas of risk can be compared and aggregated, and an overall picture of risk provided to decision-makers, which is exactly what they are looking for.'
To date, Citicus ONE has been used to conduct many thousands of evaluations in 150+ countries. Users praise the way it brings business, IT and security people together, uses people's time efficiently, and provides business, IT and security decision-makers with results they can easily understand and relate to.
Using it, business IT, security and risk professionals can quickly take stock of their organization's key information assets and identify where responsibility for each one lies. Critical assets can be subjected to 'deep dive' risk assessments using balanced risk scorecards plus supporting checklists. Risk and compliance ratings can then be easily aggregated to provide decision makers with an up-to-date view of their organization's risk status.
Note: Citicus ONE can be used to assess outsourced systems and outsource suppliers as well as systems run in-house; and compliance with key standards, policies and regulations (eg PCI-DSS, ISO 27000,
, site security, health and safety).
The software's 'all-risk' capabilities are enabling customers to extend and innovate their risk practices, for example to cover supplier risk and to gauge compliance with anti-corruption and child labour laws (compliance with these is vital for companies seeking a strong position in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, which many companies aspire to do). Its 'all risk' capabilities are also being applied in innovative ways in government, banking, insurance, factory automation, procurement and logistics.

text: Mixed Magic Theatre: Either It's Worth It or It Ain't I'm not in a position to quantify the worth of Mixed Magic Theatre. If I'm ballparking it…I'd put the number somewhere between a million billion dollars or a million trillion dollars. That's if I'm rounding down. While those numbers might seem steep, I look around and see all the stories my dad and mom have given voice to and it seems reasonable. I look around at all the performers my father, Ricardo, has impacted and it seems reasonable. When I consider the terrific ensembles that have electrified the stage over the past dozen years, a million billion seems reasonable. When I consider the contribution my parents have made to the arts in Rhode Island, a million trillion just seems reasonable. But I know I'm biased. For various reasons, the actual quantified value of Mixed Magic Theatre has been positioned well south of that. Not unreasonable (I suppose), but definitely a difficult obstacle to overcome day after day, month after month, year after year. Yet, we plug along day after day, month after month, year after year because of the magic we've been fortunate enough to create with some great people and some great productions. But now, more than ever, the time for lip service is over. Now, more than ever, we need the support to continue doing our work and making our impact. So, in my mind, as I reach out to you, there's really only one thing to consider… Mixed Magic Theatre: Either It's Worth It or It Ain't If you consider our body of work and the stories that we give voice to and still feel inclined to place us in the "Ain't" category, that's OK; you're not the first. People have all kinds of reasons that it's not especially productive to quibble with. We are unfortunately familiar with people telling us the stories we tell aren't really worth their financial contribution or time. However, if you do consider us a company that's worth it, know that I'm reaching out to you now. Prove it with your pennies. DONATE. Be the toast of your next happy hour when you're telling people that you support diverse images and stories on stage. And yes; even if you're rationing your funds for 'Gansett tall boys or Dunkin extra extras every month, your dollar can make a difference. YOUR DOLLAR COUNTS BECAUSE IT'S ONE MORE DOLLAR THAN WE HAD BEFORE YOU HELPED US. DOLLARS WE DON'T HAVE KEEP US FROM MELTING FACES ON STAGE. One-time donations are cool; recurring donations are cooler than a polar bear's toenails. Below, some advanced mathematics: 1 X 12 = $12/YEAR 2 X 12 = $24/YEAR 3 X 12 = $36/YEAR You see where this is going. Starting at $1/month, you can brag about helping an arts organization. Since it'd be gauche for whoever you're bragging to to ask how much you donate, you can rest assured that whatever donation you make will make you appear awesome. And, this is worth repeating: A one-time donation still places you in the Pantheon of Awesome. AND YOU WILL BE AWESOME FOR DONATING. YOU WILL BE TAX-DEDUCTIBLE AWESOME. So, it really comes back to the following… Mixed Magic Theatre: Either It's Worth It or It Ain't Thanks for taking the time to read this and thanks for believing in magic. Sincerely, Jonathan Pitts-Wiley Artistic Director

spirituality is not for people who are trying to avoid hell; it is for
people who have been through hell. In many ways, spirituality is about
what we do with our pain. And the truth is, if we don't transform

(1) Stop moving away from what you are.
Q: "How do I do that?"
A: Simply asking the question is already a movement away. I've got a
better idea:
* Let's think about how to achieve an empty mind.
* Let's do something about realizing we're not the doer.
* Let's really try to reach the effortless reality.
* Let's ask a guru how to end all questions.
* Let's gradually discover timelessness.
* Let's go to India to discover we are not located somewhere.
* Let's sit in the full lotus position to realize we're not the body.
* Let's think hard to realize that we're not the mind.
* Let's you and I meditate to discover there is no meditator.
* Let's be proud of our egolessness.
* Let's ask someone how to realize our independence.
* Let's work together to realize there's no subject/object.
* Let's argue the importance of dispassion.
* Let's gather in groups to ponder our total aloneness.
* Let's scream and yell about how loveless the world is.
* Let's be miserable that we're not experiencing bliss.
Maybe if we bang our heads against the wall hard enough,
we can become what we already are. Maybe if we strive
and strain to be what we are, we'll become what we are.
Gosh, it's so hard to be what I've always been. I have
to keep trying. If I just try long enough and hard enough,
I can be what I am. Maybe if I engage in endless sadhanas,
meditations and prayers, I can become what I already am.

There is a perspective where
affirmation actually *is* negation
and negation and affirmation *is*
reconciliation. Each leads into
and requires the other. But to
see this requires a no-position position
that is, to see from and as no-thingness.
Otherwise, one is caught up in affirming,
denying, or reconciling and isn't able
to "see/be the Whole".
The concept of the positive, negative,
and reconciling (thesis, antithesis,
and higher level synthesis) is basic
to Qabala as well.
The "divine name" YHVH has three letters
forming a four-lettered word.
This word suggests a universal triadic
pattern able to repeat in infinite
subpatterns, generating life with/within/upon
life, awareness with/within/upon awareness.
In Qabala, the no-thing emanates a point from
which a polarity is manifested
and subsequently reconciled.
Spiritual awareness is two-way:
to go out and return.
The return takes the polarity
back to the root singularity
then to no-thingness.
It's intriguing that any
of the "three forces"
you mention imply
the other two.
So positive means negative
means reconciling means
positive ... etc.
What is left out of this
trinity: positive, negative,
reconciling - is no-thingness.
No-thingness contains it all,
begins it all, and ends
it all.

That last sentence can produce one of three basic reactions:
1)- Get so confused that you don't even bother looking at it.
2)- Look at it as a key to how to complete the journey
3)- Understand it enough that you don't even bother looking at it.
1. is before journey
2. is in journey
3. is "after journey".
Nothing actually changes from 1 to 3, it just looks different.
The purpose is the opportunity to make the journey.
You do or you don't.
~ When does the journey begin?
When end?
That first instant of individual awareness
birthed unique points of view
Began the journey of a droplet of consciousness

Rising into air
It seemed that stories began and evolved
charactered with other droplets
dramas and pastorals, tragedies and farces.

the grave pull of origin begining to be felt
And falling back becomes another story
of understanding, seeking, striving for
Inevitable reunion.

"The Vehicle of the Buddha." Here's an excerpt from their web page:
Now that Buddhism has gained more public awareness
during the last years it is possible for those who are
interested to study the different Buddhist schools and
traditions. For an outsider the many streams and outwardly
diverse forms in which Buddhism manifests itself can be
confusing. Some can no longer see the Dhamma through
the streams! They may be deterred because they were
looking for unity in a world where sects and divisions are
rampant. Mislead by the emphasis placed on a particular
sect, such as "my school is better or higher than your
school", they can miss the value of the Dhamma. The
Buddha teaches different gates to Enlightenment (bodhi)
and every one of them is equally valuable, otherwise the
Buddha would not have taught them. We could call this the
Vehicle of the Buddha (Buddhayana). Important
characteristics in the Teachings are Loving Kindness
(metta), Compassion (karuna) and Wisdom (panna).
These are central in every school of Buddhism.

We are conditioned from birth to believe that in order to achieve
something, we have to do something to get it. "Realization" goes
against everything we have been taught, because there is nothing to
achieve and nothing to do (not to mention, nobody to do it). We are
what we are always. In simply surrendering, "relaxing into clear
seeing" as Arjuna puts it, the mind is transcended. None of it is
done by us, it is a process of Grace or the Self. The best we can do
is to make sure not to interfere, or to stop moving away from who we
really are.

Disentangling the relative contribution of predation avoidance and increased foraging efficiency in the evolution of sociality in animals has proven difficult given that the two types of benefits often operate concurrently. I identified different types of refuges from predation in birds related to morphological and ecological traits, providing an opportunity to examine concomitant changes in sociality over evolutionary times. Results of a matched-species comparative analysis indicated a reduction in the size of foraging or non-foraging groups but not complete disappearance under negligible predation risk. The results suggest that while predation avoidance is an important component in the evolution of sociality in birds, it is most probably not acting alone but rather in conjunction with other benefits such as increased foraging efficiency.
Many species of animals perform their activities in groups, whether it be searching and exploiting food resources or resting. Adaptive explanations for sociality usually emphasize predation avoidance or enhanced foraging efficiency (Krause & Ruxton 2002). By living in groups, animals can detect and avoid predators more easily and can also locate and exploit food patches more efficiently. In most species, the two types of benefit are probably operating together and teasing apart their relative contribution has been remarkably difficult.
Comparative analyses can be useful to disentangle the two types of benefit by contrasting populations or species exposed to different levels of predation risk. For instance, island populations or island species have often evolved with little predation risk and recent comparative analyses with their mainland counterparts suggest that many anti-predation adaptations, such as foraging in groups, have been lost or maintained at a lower level when predation risk is negligible (van Schaik & van Noordwijk 1986; Beauchamp 2004; Blumstein & Daniel 2005).
The above studies have focused on island populations or species but isolation from predation over evolutionary times can also occur in other contexts that have received less attention. A refuge from predation has been suggested to occur in larger species, which can be attacked by a reduced array of predators (Cohen et al. 1993). Species can also avoid predators in time and space (Sih 1987). In rodents, for instance, species that can avoid predators more easily, as is the case for nocturnal species, live in smaller groups (Ebensperger & Blumstein 2006). Here, I use a comparative analysis to contrast species exposed to differential predation risk to examine consequences for sociality in birds in foraging and non-foraging contexts. I tested the predictions that species facing relatively little predation would occur in smaller groups and that one mechanism responsible for negligible predation risk is a relatively larger body mass.
The prediction that sociality should be reduced when predation risk is negligible should be, at first sight, strongest in non-foraging groups, such as roosts, because obtaining food is not a direct function of these groups. However, social foraging is strongly associated with communal roosting in animals (Beauchamp 1999; Kerth & Reckardt 2003) suggesting an indirect role for locating food resources and thus imposing a limit on the expected reduction in sociality.
In a broader context, comparative analyses have been before used to examine the role of predation risk in the evolution of sociality in animals (Arnold & Owens 1999; Ebensperger & Blumstein 2006; Varela et al. 2007). Instead of a sweeping analysis of a large number of clades, I chose to focus on narrow but well-defined evolutionary transitions involving closely related species that differ in predation risk offering a unique opportunity to examine concomitant changes in sociality.
I searched the literature to identify avian species where the extent of predation could be assessed. I only considered predation on adult foraging birds in the non-breeding season given that parent birds and their offspring are very vulnerable to predation while at the nest. In addition, most species do not form groups in the breeding season except for some species breeding communally or in colonies. For these species, I also considered information about predation on foraging birds away from the colony or nest. The main sources of information about predation were predator diet analysis and accounts of predator attacks. Personal observations by researchers confirmed and complemented this information on predation.
Accounts revealed negligible predation risk on adult foraging birds in a number of species. For these species, I tallied mean (or the median or mode) and maximum group size to provide quantitative estimates of sociality. I distinguished two different types of groups: foraging and non-foraging groups, with the latter consisting of resting groups, known as rafts or roosts. I also tallied body mass for each species with a preference for male body mass in the non-breeding season given that males typically show less annual fluctuation in body mass. Finally, I noted the reason(s) why the authors thought predation was negligible for each species.
The final step consisted in pairing each species with relaxed predation risk with the most closely related species that I could find where the extent of predation was judged non-negligible. To select sister species, I used recent phylogenetic trees based mostly on molecular traits (see the electronic supplementary material). By choosing closely related species for matching, I increased the ecological similarity between members of each pair, thus reducing the possibility that divergence in other ecological traits was responsible for putative differences in sociality. Sociality of these sister species was determined as described above. I ensured that the pairings were independent by drawing a path along the branches of the phylogeny linking each species pair, and making sure that none of the paths crossed one another (Maddison 2000).
I excluded from the analysis all pairs that consisted of only solitary species since lack of sociality cannot be related exclusively to relaxed predation in such cases (Read & Nee 1995). I used Wilcoxon signed-rank tests to examine hypotheses related to foraging group size and body mass. I could not always obtain quantitative estimates of non-foraging group sizes but using available qualitative information, I could usually rank members of a pair in terms of relative group size. In this case, I used the sign test. Given that I tested a priori hypotheses, I used one-tailed tests throughout.
I uncovered 28 pairs of species with divergent predation risk across a large range of body sizes and avian families (see the electronic supplementary material). Sociality was reduced in pair members with negligible predation risk as indicated by a smaller maximum group size (S = 78.5, p = 0.01, n = 27; figure 1a) and a smaller mean group size (S = 32.5, p = 0.01, n = 18; figure 1b). In addition, a smaller relative size for non-foraging groups occurred in 18 of the 24 pairs with available data (M = 6, p = 0.01). Body mass was larger in the pair members less exposed to predation (S = 159, p < 0.0001, n = 28; figure 1c).
Comparison of (a) maximum group size (n = 24), (b) mean group size (n = 18) and (c) body mass (n = 28) in species facing negligible predation (uncommon predation pressure) and matched species with non-negligible predation (common predation pressure).
Solitary foraging occurred in only three species with negligible predation risk (11%, see the electronic supplementary material). Solitary resting occurred in nine species with negligible risk (35%, see the electronic supplementary material).
Negligible predation risk was reported in the literature or thought to occur by the researchers in response to the following factors: large size and weaponry (n = 16, 57%), foraging in areas devoid of predators (n = 11, 39%) and foraging at night when predators are absent (n = 2, 7%), with some factors present together (see the electronic supplementary material).
The reduction in foraging and non-foraging group size in birds is compatible with the hypothesis that predation risk is an important component of sociality. However, the fact that sociality did not completely disappear in most species suggests that while anti-predation is a major component of sociality in birds, it is not the only one.
In many tallied species with negligible predation risk, social foraging increased foraging efficiency by increasing the chances to locate ephemeral food patches and/or by increasing prey capture rate while in a food patch (e.g. Fleming et al. 1992; McMahon & Evans 1992; Bélisle 1998). This is particularly striking in the Swainson's hawk (Buteo swaisoni), a large raptor with negligible predation risk, but that nonetheless roosts and forages in large groups, presumably in response to patchily distributed food (England et al. 1997).
These results corroborate findings from an earlier study indicating that island species of birds with few predation threats also foraged in smaller groups (Beauchamp 2004). The results on sociality in birds are thus in line with the general finding from relaxed selection studies that traits under relaxed selection persist in their current form or in an intermediate form when other functions are still operating (Lahti et al. 2009). In the case of sociality in birds, it would appear that the foraging benefits associated with sociality are important in its maintenance.
The association between a relatively larger body mass and reduced sociality raises interesting evolutionary issues. Perhaps solitary species of birds did not evolve greater sociality because they already possessed a large size and were thus less vulnerable to predators. Alternatively, sociality was lost as greater size was evolved. Future work could identify the probable sequence of evolutionary events pertaining to the association between body mass and sociality. Nevertheless, the results do suggest a negative relationship between body mass and sociality in birds. In contrast, a positive relationship between sociality and body size was reported in rodents (Ebensperger & Cofré 2001) but not in ungulates (Brashares et al. 2000). While more work is definitely needed to address the coevolution of body mass and sociality, it is conceivable that larger body mass may deter predation to different extent in different taxa.
It is interesting to note that the decrease in sociality with negligible predation risk occurred in non-foraging as well as in foraging groups. Non-foraging groups, which in most cases include resting or roosting birds, have often been thought to form to reduce predation risk (Beauchamp 1999), but the fact that non-foraging groups can persist in the face of negligible predation risk suggests that other functions for these groups are conceivable and currently operating. Such functions may include transfer of information about distant food sources (Ward & Zahavi 1973). Nevertheless, when faced with negligible predation risk, more non-foraging groups than foraging groups consisted of solitary individuals suggesting either that avoidance of predation is more relevant in non-foraging groups or that current functions are fewer or acting less strongly. Future comparative in birds and other taxa as well will be needed to assess the generality of these findings.

How We Choose Best Mountain Bikes
Since they were first introduced, the technology available on mountain bikes has changed measurably. Frames are available in steel, aluminum, titanium, and even carbon-fiber materials. Many mountain bikes feature disc brake technology. Bikes are available with many more gears, such as 24-speeds, or even 30-speeds. Front and rear suspension are available similar to that found on mountain bike, only smaller.
Bicycle engineers are focusing on creating the lightest but strongest bike possible out of many exotic materials, and this can quickly drive the cost of a mountain bike up. If you are currently thinking about buying a mountain bike, don't worry. There are many great mountain bikes available that cost under $1000.

That implies that whether you are looking for a bike for commuting, conquering the terrain during the weekends or simply pedaling around, this Sport 29er fits the bill in almost every way possible.
The Overdrive Sport's frame is built with well-constructed, hand-built aluminum 6061-T6, so you can be sure that it won't be bending or breaking anytime soon.

Justify Before Buying Best Mountain Bikes Under $1000
Now a days choosing the best mountain is sometimes challenging, owing to the numerous types and models of it is available in the market.
In essence, there are thousands of mountain bikes that vary in terms of wheel size, suspension, gearing, brakes and more.
If you want to buy the best mountain bikes under 1000 dollars, then here is the list of guidelines on how to choose the best mountain bikes.
This guide will surely help you narrow down your choices by providing you with the useful information you need to be a conscious buyer with convincing expectations.
Look at the Mountain Bike's Frame Materials
The frame of a mountain bike influences its strength, weight, price, durability as well as its ride quality.
Therefore, if you want to choose the right one, it is essential that you consider the frame material of the mountain bike. The commonest material used in its frames is the aluminum alloy; among others include carbon fiber, titanium, and steel.
Aluminum frames are very lighter and somehow expensive.
Steel frames are strong, relatively inexpensive and provide you with smooth riding, but heavy.
Made of titanium is very light and stronger but it is very expensive, but it is the high-tech mountain bikes.
Carbon fiber is most commonly used in fat bikes, cross-country, because of its low weight and strength.
However, it is expensive. Therefore, if you want to get yourself the best mountain bike that you will meet your need, you should consider its frame materials.
Distance you will Riding the Bike
The distance you will be riding going with your bike also matters if you want to get the right bike that will not disappoint and be able to have comfortable how to rides.
So, if you are planning to buy a bike that you will be using to cover short distance like going to a coffee shop, the consideration going for a one-speed cruiser and be able to save your money.
On the other hand, if you will be using your bike for cycling more than five miles then, a city mountain bike with fenders, racks, and integrated lights will be the best for more comfortable and safety rides. Therefore, the distance you are going to cover with bike matters a lot.
Justify Mountain Bike's Brakes
Nowadays, disc brakes have taken over rim brakes on all entry level. When you want to buy a mountain bike, first you should consider its brakes.
A mountain bike that uses disc brakes has brake pads, which grips onto the rotor mounted on the wheel hub, and comes in two versions Hydraulic disc brakes and cable activated brakes.
A mountain bike with hydraulic disk brakes has strong braking with a less finger effort, as well as with a pad that adjusts itself to reduce the pad wear, so when you are looking for one with strong braking consider one with Hydraulic disc brakes or one with cable activated brakes.
However, one with rim brakes features pads, which grips on the wheel rims, the benefit of having a mountain bike with rim brakes is that you can easily observe wearing of the brake pad an replace the pads.
So, you should look at the brakes of your preferred bike and evaluate if it will meet your needs for you to get the best and safe mountain biking.
Justify Suspension
A mountain bike's suspension is among the important factors you should consider when buying a mountain bike.
A mountain bike can have front suspension also referred as hard tails, or it can have both fronts, and rear suspension referred as full suspension.
Front Suspension Mountain bikes feature only one shock; their frames are simpler as compared with the dual-suspension bike, meaning they are easy to maintain and clean and lighter.
While, mountain bikes with full suspension offer control, comfort, and speed that is much fun that people don't concentrate on the weight it has.
So, if you want to experience more convenient rides without considering the bikes weight, then you should consider a mountain bike with full suspension over a front suspension.
Things To Consider Before Buying Best Mountain Bikes Under $1000
So what are the major considerations to take into account when buying a mountain bike? In my opinion, there are three major items to consider:
Consider the Size of the Mountain Bike
The frame and the wheel size of a mountain bike determine its size. Therefore, if you are planning to buy you should visit the store and test it with different sizes and choose one with the size that fits you before you purchase it.
A mountain bike with proper size fitting improves your confidence and handling to enable you to tackle challenging and technical rides no matter the terrain. Also, the wheel size and rims matter a lot.
Every mountain bike comes with remarkably reliable wheels designed to bear up the difficulties of riding off-road.
So if you are looking for a mountain bike that you will be riding off-road, you consider one with robust and long-lasting wheels and rims to enable you to enjoy your rides.
Consider the Mountain Bike's Gears
The number of gears a mountain bike is calculated by multiplying the number of front chain rings by the number of sprockets on the cassette.
Nowadays mountain bikes are available from single gear to thirty or more gears, when looking for the best bike you should consider the number of gears it has depending on your needs.
If you are looking for a bike that you will be riding on steep valleys, climbing mountains and on rough terrains, then one with more gears is the best choice that you should consider.
However, if you are looking for a mountain bike that you will be riding only on flat terrains, or you are a strong biker, you will have to consider a bike with fewer gears which will also make you bike light giving you easy rides.
It is also important to know that bike gearing can be modified after buying a bike, to fit your needs.
Frame Material
A bicycle frame is something that can last you a lifetime. Make sure that the mountain bike you are considering has a frame made out of the material you want. Figure out if you want steel, aluminum, carbon fiber, or another exotic material. Over time, you can change all the other parts around the frame to suit your needs.
Figure out any specific features you want in your mountain bike. Write them down and refer to your list when shopping for your new bike. Most people use wheel size, number of gears, type of brakes, and suspension as their main shopping features. Figure out what you want ahead of time and be prepared.
Price plays a key role in every buying decision. Whether you are shopping online or at a local store, you should have a certain maximum price in mind before you start shopping. You don't want to end up spending more than you should have. This can result in buyer's remorse and low satisfaction with your bike as a result. As always, try to maximize the number of features and benefits you receive for the price.
Final Thoughts
The technology of mountain bikes has come a long way since they were first introduced. Modern materials continue to push the boundaries of lightweight yet incredibly strong bicycle frames. Disc brake systems and suspension are now available on mountain bikes.
But you don't have to spend $10,000 on a mountain bike for it to be a good one you can get best mountain bikes under 1000 dollars. The ten mountain bikes reviewed above are all great mountain bikes near or below the $1000 price point. Make your buying decision based on the frame you want, features required, and price.

Nginious! Distiller's Cut Magnum - 1.5Ltr - unknown ABV
With its journey beginning in 2013, nginious! Gin has slowly but surely been progressing, growing a cult following and today, has 4 expressions for fans to enjoy.
nginious! Distiller's Cut MAGNUM - crowdfunding campaign exclusive - get your certificate with Gin Kiosk
This special edition gin will come in custom-made magnum sized bottle (1.5 litres) limited to 3,000 pieces. The bottles will be covered in the typical nginious! jacket, but in this case made of copper to fit the occasion.
All bottles will be engraved with a number from 1-3,000. Each bottle will then be customised by engraving the purchaser's name.
However, the truly 'nginious!' and unique part is that the name of each purchaser, along with their number(s), will be engraved on the still itself, becoming an eternal part of Liquid Spirit Distillery's history. In summary, each contributor will have a customised bottle of a limited edition gin (that may become worth a multiple of the present price) and will always be connected to us and the project.
