Bundys in custody, one militant dead after gunfight near Burns
One militant is dead and the top leaders of the refuge occupation are in police custody after law enforcement officials stopped vehicles Tuesday afternoon about 15 miles north of Burns. Ryan Bundy, 43, of Bunkerville, Nev., suffered a minor gunshot wound and was taken into custody in a highway stop conducted by the FBI and the Oregon State Police. Also arrested were his brother, Ammon Bundy, 40, of Emmett, Idaho, and Ryan W. Payne, 32, of Anaconda, Mont., Brian Cavalier, 44, of Bunkerville, Nevada, and Shawna J. Cox, 59, of Kanab, Utah. They were charged with conspiracy to impede federal officers, a felony. The identity of the person killed in the shootout was not released...more

Capitalize On Radio's Ability To Localize National Stories
Case Study: Annie E. Casey Foundation's 2009 Kids Count Data Book
In July, the Annie E. Casey Foundation utilized radio for the release of the 20th annual KIDS COUNT Data Book. The Foundation worked with Hager Sharp to capitalize on radio's ability to localize national stories by completing 51 recordings and 24 interviews with national and local networks and top stations around the county.
The KIDS COUNT Data Book outlines improvements to the nation's ability to design and evaluate programs aimed at the needs of children and families living in poverty. Casey makes it clear that the basis for improving the outcomes of this country's most disadvantaged children and families lies in identifying where they are, the conditions within which they live and the effectiveness of current programs to improve outcomes. The Data Book and the new Data Center respond to this need by providing the nation with a consistent source of information about children's well-being. read more…

Dear Dr. Laura,
I hear you've had a tough time at work, and are now feeling misunderstood, threatened, even repressed. I'm afraid I don't know anything about you, but maybe that will allow me to provide some relatively unbiased comments. I hope they are helpful.
I did see video clips of your conversation with the caller on your radio show. Frankly, I was shocked. Didn't you know that sensibilities regarding the n-word have changed dramatically in the last 60 years? I'm no more black than you are, but I was aware that the n-word is regarded as quite offensive. The issue is not whether you or I have a "right" to say what we want; the issue is respect for others. Where offense is likely to be received, let's take extra care not to go there, even when (really, especially when) offense is not intended.
But as you ask, why is the n-word off-limits for non-blacks, but okay for black men? And I have heard other white people wonder this same question. Let me try to explain using my own background and personal experience:
My father is a white boy from Indiana. My mother is Japanese. What does that make me? Well, it depends where I am. Growing up in Japan, I was an outsider. Kids on the street would point and stare, and say (quite clearly, as if they didn't expect me to understand), "Look, it's a gaijin!" Gaijin is the Japanese word for foreigner — literally, an outside person. In the land of my birth (Japan), I grew up an outsider.
Japanese people are generally some of the nicest people you will ever meet. But it didn't really matter if the word was said by a kindly old lady, or young punks on the street. Even when meant kindly, it continually reinforced my awareness that I was the Other and did not belong.
But here's a funny thing: the word doesn't have the sting when said by another non-Japanese person. In fact, among my friends, we would occasionally call each other "henna gaijin" — weird foreigner. That was the worst taunt we heard, but saying it to each other made us laugh. It was like an inside joke. A bravado guy thing. It helped us belong.
But oh, the wound that would come to my heart if I heard a Japanese person say those words.
(…And this is without a history of slavery, repression, and ongoing injustice.)
I hope this helps.

Batman Birthday Cake for Your Boys
Batman birthday cake comes with manly and heroic themes which is so suitable for your boys. This kind of cake is favored by boys especially that this is the famous and heroic fictional character that always protects the justice in a city called Gotham. Then, here are some ideas that you may apply when you want to apply Batman themes for your boy's birthday party.
First, batman birthday cake is simply with one or two tiers cake with simple topping and decorations. Batman birthday cake designs always come with four dominant colors those are yellow, black, grey and blue which all of them represent Batman as Dark Knight that fights against injustice at the night with his bat mask and black cape. The toppings can be done with yellow and blue for the view of Gotham city and the black color for Batman itself.
Second, batman birthday cake is simply made with the presence of his friend Robin and some his equipments when he frightens criminals, like guns plus the decorations of Batmobile will make the cake looks more heroic and cool because Batman utilizes a large arsenal of technological and modern gadgets and tools. Your boy will like this kind of decoration since Batman hues are so strong with the presence of his partner and useful tools of him.
Third, the theme of Batman fights against criminals of Gotham will be quite distinctive and unique. Batman birthday cake will look different with the decorations or toppings of Batman against his rivals or enemies like Joker as his ultimate rival, then The Penguin, The Riddlers, Two Face, Scarecrow and others. Make the cakes look different with this theme of how Batman beats those criminals. Batman birthday cake ideas are not always with the super heroic Batman but it can be with the heroic scenes right when Batman defeats those bad guys.

Sometimes, in search of the recipe of special dishes, you ignore the regular preparations. Many of you think special dishes need special occasions to make.
But, the fact is, you can make each day extraordinary by bringing exceptional touch to your regular dishes.
Aloo Matar is one of the most common dishes that is prepared in many households. It comprises of peas and potatoes and the curry is made with several spices.
Whether at lunch or dinner, with rice or roti, aloo matar can go well at anytime and with anything.
The preparation of aloo matar varies from state to state. The recipe of Rajasthan is quite different from the one prepared in Punjab. If you have not tried it yet, here are the ingredients and a detailed method of preparing the Punjabi aloo matar gravy. Have a look.
Serves - 4
Preparation Time - 10 minutes
Cooking Time - 20 minutes
1. Oil - 2 tbsp
2. Cumin Seeds - ½ tsp
3. Onions - ¾th cup (chopped)
4. Garlic - 1 tsp (chopped)
5. Ginger - 1 tsp (chopped)
6. Green Chilli Paste - 1 tsp
7. Tomatoes - 1 cup (chopped)
8. Water as needed
9. Green Peas - 1 cup (boiled)
10. Potato Cubes - 1½ cup (boiled)
11. Salt to taste
12. Red Chilli Powder - 1½ tsp
13. Garam Masala - ½ tsp
14. Turmeric - a pinch
15. Coriander Leaves - 1 tsp (chopped)
1. Take a non-stick pan and heat oil. Now, add cumin seeds into it. When it starts spluttering, add chopped onions.Sauté well, until the onion turns golden brown in colour.
2. Now, add garlic, ginger, tomatoes and green chilli paste into it. If you see tomatoes need time to be cooked, add one tbsp of water into it.
3. Now, mix well and smash the tomatoes a bit. When all the spices are cooked, add green peas and potatoes into it.
4. Add salt, red chilli powder, turmeric powder and garam masala powder into it and mix everything well.Now, add one cup of water and let the curry boil.
5. Smash potatoes a little, so that the curry becomes thicker.
6. Now, your aloo matar ki sabji is ready to be served. Turn off the stove and serve in a serving bowl.Garnish with chopped coriander.
The recipe is too easy to make, right? It tastes so yummy that you can even have it with bread. Kids, who run away from vegetables, will love to have this if you serve it with rice or roti.

9 Things You Didn't Know about Almonds
Who doesn't love almonds? They are very delicious no matter whether you add them itno a dish or eat they saparetely. What you might not know is that almonds are one of the so called "superfoods". They provide your body with a great number of nutrients and help you become an overall healthy person.
There are many interesting facts you should know about these seeds. The fact that almonds are actually seeds and not nuts as many seem to believe is one of them. Here are a few others:
Almonds should be eaten raw or dry-roasted
Technically, nutritional value of almonds will not diminish when you fry them. However, this process will imbue the seeds with unhealthy fats and increase the calorie count of the food exponentially.
Consider this and study the package carefully.
Californian almonds are pasteurized
Over 80% of commercially produced almonds are from California. So, the chances are that you have some seeds warmed by Californian sunshine in your pantry. If it's true, then even the inscription "raw" on the package doesn't mean that the almonds are truly raw. All of them are pasteurized by one of the FDA approved methods.
This has been a mandatory requirement since 2007 because of two outbreaks of salmonella caused by raw almonds in 2001 and 2004.
Almonds help your body fight diseases
Results of studies show that almonds contain high levels of polyphenols. This is a type of antioxidants that is believed to assist with healing heart disease and even cancer.
Almonds are low on calories
In spite of being extremely nourishing, almonds have one of the lowest number of calories among nuts and seeds. Therefore, they are a perfect addition to any diet.
Almonds depend on bees
Without bees there will be no almonds as this plant cannot self-pollinate. Considering the growing rate of bee extinction, we can lose almonds and quite a few other fruits in the near future.
Producing and picking almonds are two different things
Almonds have to be processed before reaching your table, and this takes a lot of time and work. After the fruits are shaken from the trees (by using machine shakers), they are left to lie on the ground for a week. After they dry, they are picked, pasteurized and processed further.
No part of almond is wasted
Thick outer hulls aren't edible for humans, but they make a good addition to cattle food. They are less nutritious than the seeds but still very useful.
Almonds vary greatly
There are more than 30 known kinds of almonds, and yet only 10 of them are processed as food.
There are green almonds
Green almonds are rare and considered a delicacy. They look like grapes and taste sweet with some herbal undertones.

I'm sad to say that I missed Kyle's performances this week. Working full time and trying to keep up to date and supporting creative events doesn't always go hand in hand. However I did get to feel like a part of things via the daily photo up dates on the Aberdeen17 facebook page. Seeing Kyle's daily colour change actually brightened up my days in the office. I've spoken to a few friends who've asked me "aye there's some guy in a window down Belmont street all painted up, fits at aboot?".
I don't really know why anyone would want to put themselves on display but I'm glad they did and I'm glad that it was a fine specimen like Kyle, I dare say it would have been a different story if I had taken on the role of Adonis in the Window! I think it takes a lot of guts to do what Kyle's done this week and I really like the crossed out words, indicating what colour to expect next. I guess if someone asks me "why did he do it?" then I can answer "he did it for you, he did it for us" and for that, we should be happy!
To find out more and keep up to speed about the next performers check out the Live Window event page here! Something will be happening tomorrow between 11 and 4 so if your on Belmont Street have a looksie!

Madras Cements Ltd is doubling the capacity of its captive power plant at its Jayanthipuram factory in Andhra Pradesh. The first unit of the coal-based 18 MW captive power plant is expected to be commissioned by March 2007.
With the company's cement manufacturing capacity expected to go up by 2 million tonnes a year at the Jayanthipuram plant, it has decided to double the capacity of the captive power plant.
Thermax Ltd, which bagged the order for the first 18 MW unit at Jayanthipuram will set up the second unit too. The total cost for the captive power plant will be Rs 112 crore.
The expanded captive power capacity along with the 6 MW of power that Madras Cements is entitled to from its investment in Andhra Pradesh Gas Power Corporation Ltd will take care of the power requirement of the Jayanthipuram plant.
With rising input costs and growing power requirement as its manufacturing capacity goes up, Madras Cements' strategy is to cut down on power costs to the extent possible. For this, it believes that captive power generation - either coal-based plants or wind power - is the way to reduce power cost, according to Mr A.V. Dharmakrishnan, Executive Director, Finance, Madras Cements Ltd.
The company has invested in a 36 MW coal-based captive plant at its Alathiyur factory in Tamil Nadu. It also has a diesel generating set, which is not being operated now due to the high cost of liquid fuel. Madras Cements is in talks with the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board to sell about 6 MW of surplus power that it has from its captive plant at Alathiyur. The talks are focussing on the price which the electricity board will pay Published under Cement News

If I saw split-second flash image of an object I would recognize it. It would be far too fast for saccades to scan. However, to recognize an object by touch my skin will need to scan over the surface of the object - which requires movement, which happens in time. If I were to recognize an object by sound my ears will need the vibrations over time. The only reason time is involved with temporal sensors is because a spacial 'picture' needs to be built up over time. A bit like a computer scanner. As it scans across the page in time it gradually builds a spatial picture. Like the sense of touch, your skins scans the surface of the object forming a gradual spatial 'picture'. However, if time is not needed it will be spatial by default (like vision and smell and taste... and positional touch).
Given a stream of 1 second data from all senses (disabling visual saccades) they will all have spatial input/'picture' (set of simultaneous action potentials) similar to that of a single frame of an image. The picture from the touch of a stone may look like a series of bumps and dots. The picture from auditory of a stone hitting the floor may look like a sudden attack/decay waveform.
Forgive my naivety, but could an encoder be created to collapse temporal data into spacial data? If so would it have practical use?
You might find this article worth reading Figuring Space by TimeEhud Ahissar and Amos Arielihttp://www.cell.com/abstract/S0896-6273(01)00466-4
In this paper the authors talked about how spatial information can be encoded as temporal streams, and how information can be decoded using various paradigms.
@pavelromashkin just breached this topic again, so I thought I would continue the conversation here.
I think @ycui is leading in the right direction above. The temporal dimension allows brains to explore spatial dimensions. Without the temporal dimension, we would have one spatial view of the universe, no dynamism, no discovery, no intelligence. It would never change. It's a pretty boring existence.
Life has evolved to process spatial information over time and take action upon it. Without time, there is no life (as we know it). HTM is trying to mimic something occurring in living brains, and the brain is entirely based upon temporal processing of life happening in front of its sensors.
Without time, you are just a dumb rock.
So from my standpoint, the temporal / spatial combination of sparse neuron activations in response to the stimulus of life is crucial to HTM.
I've been thinking a lot about how to visualize a temporal sequence stored in the TM. It's a challenging problem to think about. I am trying to visualize a sequence somehow spatially, in a picture or graph or something. But I'm coming to the conclusion that it is impossible to display something inherently temporal in nature in a spatial fashion.
A temporal sequence stored in the TM is very high-dimensional. You can represent one sequence like ABCD in a temporal array of SDRs representing cell activations. But each step in the sequence means very little without showing how they are linked together.
Also each step in the sequence might branch off into other sequences, or merge with them. This is very hard to comprehend.
Hi Matt, I'm not sure the question are quite the same. Now that I have a better grasp of HTM I can probably explain my question better.
Just as spatial pooling encodes SDRs representing space, temporal pooling encodes SDRs representing time. Either way they are still the same thing in theory (in my theory anyway...).
We can think of something spatial as being a 'snapshot' of something in time. In the cortex something temporal is also represented as a 'snapshot'. So a spatial pooling of the 'snapshot' of a ball in the air (those dumb circles are meant to represent a ball eventually hitting the floor) is equivalent to the temporal pooling of the 'snapshot' of the whole sequence - as if it were a single spatial 'snapshot'.
This is how we can predict far into the future, when enough spatial cues activate the temporal representation of the whole sequence (completion). Its the same thing as if there is enough spatial cues to activate the whole of a spatial representation (completion).
At the end of it all, I suppose space and time are represented in the same (or similar ways), the only difference is dimensionality. Just a theory.
This is where I disagree with you. Time is more than just the 4th dimension, IMO, it is inherently different from the first three.
The only reason we can complete this temporal pattern on the right:
is because we have learned to do so by observing spatial patterns over time. These patterns are stored between our neurons, and they cannot be extracted without a sample point. You can't pull a complete sequence out of there within knowing part of the sequence, and even then you won't just get one sequence, you could get hundreds or thousands.
For example, say you have a set of active columns that represent something spatially. This thing, let's call it "X", has no context. But we want to extract sequences from the cells that overlap this pattern. Because X has probably already been seen in many contexts before, when we match for X we'll get a lot of different cells. We can't tell which ones belong to which sequences, or even how many sequences are represented.
My point is that a spatiotemporal structure is much more than just the addition of a dimension to the data, especially when it comes to how it is stored and extracted in the brain.
I think the difference is that time has a direction (physics quibbles notwithstanding).
Aha, I had a feeling you were going to bring up temporal memory
If we were to map each function: (spatial pooling - 3d), (temporal pooling - 4d), (temporal memory - 5d). Because there are potentially infinite variations of a sequence there is the 5th dimension that temporal memory encodes.
If you saw a few frames of a ball falling to the floor you would invariably be able to complete the sequence. These hundreds or thousands of sequences is what makes up invariance (like the top set of images). However, one of these invariant sequences are going to win-out over the others due to temporal context and/or feedback. The winning sequence is the specific sequence (due to distal and/or apical excitation).
As I believe spatial and temporal pooling encode 'their own dimensions' in similar ways, temporal memory doesn't due to lateral connections.
edit: I probably didn't explain that well. Maybe I can improve it tomorrow.
I admit, I'm starting to come around. You could be right here, but I need to think about it more.
I think this is valid from my own research. Let's look at a 3x3 monochromatic image of pixel values between 0.0f and 1.0f:
0.0f 0.5f 0.0f0.5f 1.0f 0.5f0.0f 0.5f 0.0f
This monochromatic image is the "input space" of the spatial pooler. Spatial pooling encodes this input space at a single time step into a sparse set of neuron activations:
Taking this further, we can label this specific configuration neuron activations as "spatial encoding 0" and put it into a bank, or memory of spatial encodings:
se0: 1000se1: 0100se2: 0010...etc.
I included two new spatial encodings into the bank for the next example. Say after a while we see this sequence of spatial encodings:
se0 --> se1 --> se2
This sequence is the "input space" of the temporal pooler. Temporal pooling encodes a this input space into... (I'm actually not sure for HTM). However, we can label this specific sequence as "temporal encoding 0" and put it into a bank, or memory of temporal encodings:
te0: se0 se1 se2...etc
Fundamentally the function of the spatial pooler and temporal pooler are the same: They take an input space and encode it into something else like a label (spatial encoding 0, 1, 2... and temporal encoding 0, 1, 2...). The difference between these two functions is the input space they observe.

Hypoglycemia In A Person With Diabetes
is a serious condition that happens when your blood glucose (sugar) level drops too low. The blood sugar level is usually too high in a person with diabetes, but the level can also drop too low. It is important to follow your diabetes management plan to keep your blood sugar level steady.
Common signs and symptoms include the following:
- Headache, hunger, or nervousness
- Trouble thinking or moodiness
- Sweating, or a pounding heartbeat
- Forgetfulness, confusion, or double vision
- Weakness or trouble walking
- Numbness and tingling in your fingers or around your mouth
- Seizures or loss of consciousness
Call 911 for any of the following:
- You have a seizure or pass out.
- You feel you are going to pass out.
- You have trouble thinking clearly.
Seek care immediately if:
- Your blood sugar is less than 50 mg/dL and does not respond to treatment.
Contact your healthcare provider if:
- You have had symptoms of low blood sugar several times.
- You have questions about the amount of insulin or diabetes medicine you are taking.
- You have questions or concerns about your condition or care.
Manage hypoglycemia:
- Check your blood sugar level right away if you have symptoms of hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia is usually 70 mg/dL or below. Ask your healthcare provider what blood sugar level is too low for you.
- If your blood sugar level is too low, eat or drink 15 grams of fast-acting carbohydrate. Examples of this amount of fast-acting carbohydrate are 4 ounces (½ cup) of fruit juice or 4 ounces of regular soda. Other examples are 2 tablespoons of raisins or 3 to 4 glucose tablets. Check your blood sugar level 15 minutes later. If the level is still low (less than 100 mg/dL), have another 15 grams of carbohydrate. When the level returns to 100 mg/dL, eat a snack or meal that contains carbohydrates. This will help prevent another drop in blood sugar. Always carefully follow your healthcare provider's instructions on how to treat low blood sugar levels.
- Always carry a source of fast-acting carbohydrate. If you have symptoms of hypoglycemia and you do not have a blood glucose meter, have a source of fast-acting carbohydrate anyway. Avoid carbohydrate foods that are high in fat. The fat content may make it take longer to increase your blood sugar level. Ask your healthcare provider if you should carry a glucagon kit. Glucagon is a medicine that is injected when you develop severe hypoglycemia and become unconscious. Check the expiration date every month and replace it before it expires.
- Teach others how to help you if you have symptoms of hypoglycemia. Tell them about the symptoms of hypoglycemia. Ask them to give you a source of fast-acting carbohydrate if you cannot get it yourself. Ask them to give you a glucagon injection if you have symptoms of hypoglycemia and you become unconscious or have a seizure. Ask them to call 911 . This is an emergency. Tell them never to try to make you swallow anything if you faint or have a seizure.
- Wear medical alert jewelry or carry a card that says you have diabetes. Ask where to get these items.
Prevent hypoglycemia:
- Take diabetes medicine as directed. Take your medicine at the right time and in the right amount. Your healthcare provider may change your blood sugar goals if you get hypoglycemia often.
- Eat regular meals and snacks. Talk to your dietitian or healthcare provider about a meal plan that is right for you. Do not skip meals.
- Check your blood sugar level as directed. Ask your healthcare provider what your blood sugar levels should be before and after you eat. Ask when and how often to check your blood sugar level. You may need to check at least 3 times each day. Record your blood sugar level results and take the record with you when you see your healthcare provider. Your provider may use the record to make changes to your medicine, food, or exercise schedules.
- Check your blood sugar level before you exercise. Exercise can decrease your blood sugar level. If your blood sugar level is less than 100 mg/dL, have a carbohydrate snack. Examples are 4 to 6 crackers, ½ banana, 8 ounces (1 cup) of nonfat or 1% milk, or 4 ounces (½ cup) of juice. If you will exercise for more than 1 hour, you may need to check your blood sugar level every 30 minutes. Your healthcare provider may also recommend that you check your blood sugar level after exercise.
- Be aware of how alcohol affects your blood sugar level. Alcohol can cause your blood sugar level to drop for up to 12 hours after drinking. Ask your healthcare provider if alcohol is safe for you. If you drink alcohol, always have a snack or meal at the same time. Women should limit alcohol to 1 drink a day. Men should limit alcohol to 2 drinks a day. A drink of alcohol is 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1½ ounces of liquor.
Follow up with your healthcare provider as directed:
You may need dose changes to your insulin or oral diabetes medicine if you have hypoglycemia. Write down your questions so you remember to ask them during your visits.

Dundee United have unveiled Steven Robb, Craig Conway and Noel Hunt at Tannadice.
Dundee United have unveiled summer signings - wingers Steven Robb, Craig Conway and striker Noel Hunt at Tannadice.
Twenty-four-year-old Robb has signed a two-year deal at the club after moving from neighbours Dundee.
The player has been a long-term target of boss Craig Brewster's because of his tremendous potential.
"I am delighted to have finally signed Steven," Brewster admitted. "He is the type of player we need to encourage competition throughout the team.
"His favoured position is in a left sided attacking wide role, but he can also play on the right if required. I think he has the right attitude to learn and to succeed with Dundee United."
Conway, 21, however was Brewster's first signing of the summer, though a tribunal is still to adjudicate on the compensation required for his former club Ayr United.
Both he and former Dunfermline Athletic frontman Noel Hunt, 23, have signed three-year deals at the club.
Brewster played with Hunt in his time at The Pars, and believes he is another quality addition to the squad.
"He is obviously a player I know very well and I kept tabs on him last season when his form progressed working alongside Mark Burchill," the boss explained.
"He works hard, has pace, is good in the air and I believe he can further improve as a player at Tannadice."
With discussions ongoing for several other potential signings, Brewster's revolution at United looks set to unfold well into the summer.

Of course, it's a time-honored tradition for third-party wireless retailers to undercut carriers' own subsidized prices, so it's no big surprise that this is cheaper than $130 -- but for it to drop all the way down to $0 the same week of release is a pretty sweet deal. Too bad the lack of app sideloading is less of a sweet deal... but we digress.

While girls my age dreamt of becoming ballerinas and princesses, five year old me knew I was going to be a chef. I was resolute as a child, but wavered as a young adult, only to return on my original path after trying my hand at other career options.
Although I cook daily for a living, I still enjoy sitting down to a home-cooked meal. In fact, there is nothing more that I love than to walk into my kitchen, open the cupboards, and to think about all the possibilities! My passion stems from the beautiful local and seasonal produce that abound, and I would love nothing more than to share this love with you.
I am a (sometime lapsed) vegetarian, so most of the recipes I post will be veggie-friendly. While all foods, including meats, follow a seasonal cycle, fruits and vegetables are those most visibly affected by the turning calendar. They are also the foods that pose the most problems even to experienced cooks: we all know what to do with tomatoes, but what about kohlrabi?!?!?! I hope this blog will show you the wonders of rutabaga, and guide you through the seasons.
Bon app'!

Dillinger Escape Plan Finish New Album
New record is done according to Greg Puciato.
Dillinger Escape Plan have finished recording their new album. The band announced that the record was finished when frontman Greg Puciato posted a photograph of the dictionary definition of the word 'Completion' to his Instagram account. The record will be the first that the band releases on Sumerian Records and is scheduled for a spring release.
Guitarist Bill Weinman had previously released the following statement about the record:
"This new material is very punk-, very hardcore-influenced. Maybe it's all the amazing bands reuniting from my youth that is inspiring this. Billy [Rymer, drums] and I have just been listening to old hardcore records blasting through my house and then going down to the dungeon and just bashing. Greg [Puciato, vocals] also seems to be in a very dark place lyrically. I think it's going to be pretty creepy. If these songs don't put some holes in the wall, I don't know what will."
Excited about the new Dillinger album? Let us know in the comments.

Online Extra: Texans face stiff test in Patriots
By HOWARD ULMAN
AP Sports Writer
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Stevan Ridley has emerged as a top running back in his second pro season. He's not the only Patriots rusher Texans coach Gary Kubiak has to worry about.
The revived New England ground game, with Shane Vereen and Brandon Bolden as backups, has brought balance to an offense that relied more heavily on quarterback Tom Brady in recent years.
Ridley, in his second pro season, is third in the AFC with 1,010 yards rushing going into tonight's game between the Texans (11-1), who have the best record in the AFC and have clinched a playoff berth, and the Patriots (9-3), who have locked up the AFC East title.
"He's a heck of a player," Kubiak said. "They've had a few different backs back there. It's what they do. It's almost like anybody they put back there is successful. They play young guys. Tom has got them in the right play all the time. They're not only running the ball well, but those backs out of the backfield catch the ball extremely well."
Vereen has rushed for just 173 yards and three touchdowns but has scored on an 83-yard pass play. Bolden, a rookie who returns tonight after sitting out a four-game suspension for violating the NFL policy on performance-enhancing substances, is second on the team with 234 yards rushing and two touchdowns.
"They're very capable of running the ball very well," Kubiak said.
And, of course, outstanding throwing it.
Brady is having his usual strong season with 25 touchdown passes and just four interceptions, and wide receiver Wes Welker leads the NFL with 92 receptions.
That pairing could be a real problem for Houston without cornerback Brice McCain, who had surgery on his left foot today. Brandon Harris, a second-year pro, will replace him despite having played in just four games this season.
"Welker has 92 catches and I don't think Brandon has 29 plays," Houston defensive coordinator Wade Phillips said. "It's a challenge, certainly. We expect him to step up and play. We're going to try to help him in certain areas, but it's going to be one-on-one some. It's going to be one-on-one pass rush with our guys to put pressure on the guy and it's going to be one-on-one for our guys to cover them sometimes. That's just how it is."
Balance also is a strong point for the Texans with Arian Foster, the AFC's leading rusher with 1,102 yards, and Andre Johnson, seventh in the NFL with 74 catches.
"He's a great player," Patriots coach Bill Belichick said of Johnson, a 10-year veteran. "He's done it for a long time. He puts up big numbers every year and people are keying on him. They're looking for him and he keeps producing. He's a hard guy to cover."
And then there's Foster, the NFL leader with 15 touchdowns.
The Texans disguise their plays well and make effective use of play action, which requires defenders to be well disciplined.
"Gary does a good job, scheme-wise, of balancing everything out — the running game, the passing game, play-actions, dropbacks, complementary routes, complementary runs — everything kind of ties together," Belichick said.
The Patriots and the Texans are the only two offenses ranked in the top 10 in yards rushing and passing.
"If you're stopping one thing, then you're probably light on something else and it won't take them too long to find that and exploit it," Belichick said. Johnson "is definitely open on a few plays where it wouldn't matter who the receiver is, the guy is wide open and is going to make a big play. But there are also a lot of plays that he makes on his own."
Fortunately for the Patriots, their weak pass defense has improved in recent weeks.
The acquisition of cornerback Aqib Talib, who has played the past three games for the Patriots, from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has allowed Belichick to start Devin McCourty at safety rather than his usual cornerback spot, and he's solidified the secondary.
McCourty's interception in the end zone in the final minute secured the Patriots 37-31 win over the Buffalo Bills on Nov. 11. In their next game, cornerbacks Talib and Alfonzo Dennard returned interceptions for touchdowns in a 59-24 rout of the Indianapolis Colts.
"They're a very physical, stout group," Texans quarterback Matt Schaub said. "They understand their scheme well, a lot of veteran guys that have played a lot of football in that group. They can rush the passer. They can stop the run. They can do a little bit of everything. It's a group that we really have to be on top of our game plan, on top of our stuff and play good road football."
The Texans have done that better than any team this season. At 6-0, they're the only team with a perfect road record.
But the Patriots haven't lost a regular-season game in December since Dec. 22, 2002.
"The better you play, the better your homefield advantage is because the more the crowd is into it," Brady said. "I think the mark of our teams over the years has been we've improved as the season has gone along. December is the last month to really improve.
"Coach puts pressure on us in practice every day to improve, to get better and not to make the same mistakes (and) to learn from our mistakes. I think we as a team have responded to that and played well. That's what's important this time of the year: to not make the same mistakes we were making in September and to play our best football. This will be a great week to see if we can accomplish that."

ANCIENT MYSTERIES - The ancient Sumerians knew 12 planets. Only 5 planets of our solar system are visible with the unaided eye. And one of them, Uranus, was (re)discovered only in the 17th century and named a planet in the 18 century.
Neptune, which can only be seen through a telescope, was discovered in the 19th century. Pluto was discovered as late as 1930. In 2006 a new definition of planets was proposed by astronomers, which would result in a total of 12 planets for our solar system.
The Sumerians lived some 5,000 years ago. They had no telescopes that we know of. Yet they clearly knew of 12 'celestial bodies', including the sun and the moon. They depicted the 12 planets and wrote about them on clay tablets. The Sumerians described not only the existence of these celestial bodies, but knew exactly their names and roles in the solar system and the universe. Were they masters of mathematics and astronomy? Some say that the Sumerians must have received information from aliens, from outer space.

Diabetes Management Patient Stories
- Linda Rohn – Support and Sensible Changes are key to Linda Rohn's Health
Support and Sensible Changes are key to Linda Rohn's Health
Linda Rohn's monthly A1C numbers were beginning to creep up. So, her doctor recommended that she talk with Richland Hospital Certified Diabetes Educator, Ty Mulholland.
The two met to talk about what Linda could do to improve her blood sugar numbers. Believing that eating carbs affected her blood sugar levels the most, they decided to keep a closer eye on that. Right now, Linda tries not to eat any more than 45 grams of carbs at any of her three meals each day, and no more than 15 grams of carbs in her snack of which she can have 4 per day.
"The numbers are not written in stone. They are rule of thumb recommendations, but sometimes life just happens," Linda said. "I like that I am in control of it. Ty is helping me to develop healthy habits, but it is going to take time. I try to make sensible choices and I know that cooking my own meals makes controlling carbs easier."
Ty and Linda meet monthly to assess how her goals are going and if adjustments need to be made. If the current goals are going well, a new goal might be added. "Ty is such a good listener and she is super smart," Linda said. "She gently nudges me to make healthier choices, all the time understanding that it isn't realistic to think that I will never have a cookie again."
Linda recently added walking to her routine which has helped her to keep her blood sugar numbers down. She also goes to Diabetes Support Group meetings regularly, though she admits that she did not go to the meetings when she was first diagnosed. "I didn't want to admit that I had a problem," Linda said. "Everyone is there for a common reason. It is very relaxed and fun. I have learned a lot there and enjoy hearing from people who sometimes struggle – just like me."
"Make an appointment with yourself for your health. Go to the next Diabetes Support Group Meeting," Linda encourages.

When it comes to self-defense strategies, the greater the unfair advantage a maneuver gives you over an attacker, the better a move it is. Right?
When your life is threatened, there's no reason to give your opponent a "fighting chance" or a "fair fight." Your goal should be to neutralize the threat and minimize any danger to yourself and your loved ones as quickly as possible.
That's why it's so important to know a minimum of 3 highly effective strikes that work against any attacker, big or small.

The world of terrorism changed with the modern suicide bombing. There were very few suicide attacks during most of the cold war. In the 1983, such attacks began with a truck driven into a U.S. Marine base in Lebanon. It caused the deaths of 241 people.
Bombs — in trucks, on bodies or in improvised explosive devices (IEDs) — are the staple of terrorism. They are hard to spot and stop.
Last Monday, suicide bombers struck in the Turkish town of Surac, near Syria. They killed at least 28 people. A Turkish official said it was an act against the Turkish government. It happened because Turkey is fighting terrorism.
Military activity and terrorism are the causes of migration in countries such as Syria and Iraq. There are now said to be 60 million migrants worldwide. Most of them come from the Middle East and Africa.
There are many stories of people losing their lives at sea. They are making their way to Europe from Africa and the Middle East. Many are trying to reach Italy and Greece. Many are now going to the Balkans. They are headed to Bulgaria, Hungary and Serbia.
All of Europe is tightening border security. Countries are changing their visa and passport laws. They are building fences. Migrants are desperate to flee their home countries. They will try anything, even at the risk of their lives.
Experts say we are living in a world of failed states. Many states have no legal systems. Or, if they have such systems, they do not enforce the laws. That has left many religious, cultural and sectarian groups to defend themselves.
During the cold war, Russia and the U.S. backed governments that took their side. These nations had been freed from the rule of colonial powers. Among the colonial powers were Britain, France and Belgium. Leaders sold their brand new countries to the highest bidder. The leaders, supported by the U.S. and Russia were given the power to keep order.
Along with the cold war, those days are over.
There are no big powers to keep order. Countries comprised of tribes, and religious sects are no longer loyal to the mother country. The differences within such countries are greater than the similarities.
At some time, the world will sort out its differences. Until then, there will be terrorism and migration.

Double Sleeping Bags - Make Car Camping More Comfortable
A few good reasons for purchasing a double sleeping bag for car camping, including a review of an awesome double sleeping bag that I have used.Published Jun 10, 2010 by fairymom
Last updated on Jul 11, 2017
I love camping. Anticipation is half the fun of it. I spend several days thinking about the enjoyable experience I am going to have in the cool mountain air, relaxing and connecting with nature. I also spend a lot of time planning and preparing for my adventure. I make lists of items to buy, items to pack, meals to prepare, and possible activities to pursue during my trip. When "D" day finally arrives, it seems like there are always a million loose ends. I find myself stopping at Wal-Mart on my way up the canyon to buy sunblock, bug spray, or treats for my kids.
When I finally arrive at the campsite, my husband and I hastily erect our tent then try to get dinner started in the last vestiges of daylight. By the time we have eaten (by the light of our lantern), cleaned up, and put jammies on the kids, I want nothing more than to snuggle in to my cozy sleeping bag and get a long night's rest in preparation for the full day I know is ahead of me. However, I have a 19 month old baby, and he seems to share my idea.
Now, it's no secret that sleeping on the ground can be one of camping's worst discomforts, but sleeping on the ground, in a single sleeping bag, with a 19 month old baby, is probably one of life's greatest discomforts. If you think rocks can bend you out of shape, try feet in your back. I have been through this experience when my oldest two were just babies as well. After several summers of fun camping trips but horrendously uncomfortable nights, my husband came home with a genius idea that I wish we'd thought of sooner. What if we had a GREAT, BIG sleeping bag?!?
So the search for our great, big, spacious, double sleeping bag began. Our search was very thorough. We are sticklers when it comes to quality and looked for a nice sleeping bag with lots of cool features as well as a great value. And we found it! The Teton Sports Mammoth 0-Degree Sleeping Bag is the one for me!! When my husband showed me the pictures on Amazon, I thought I must be viewing some kind of optical illusion but when we unrolled our bag and slid inside, I was sold. It really is THAT BIG!
On our first camping trip this summer, we spent 3 fantastic nights snuggling in our sleeping bag, with the baby snoring right beside us. When I anticipate camping now, my excitement isn't tainted by the dread of an uncomfortable night's sleep. Instead, I look forward to sharing warmth in my spacious sleeping bag!
All About the Teton Sports Mammoth 0-Degree Sleeping Bag
- This bag is wonderfully spacious. It is a family-size sleeping bag. It can fit 2 adults and 1 child or up to 4 children.
- The inside is so soft and snuggly. It is lined with soft cotton flannel.
- It includes a shoulder baffle that tightens with a draw string around your shoulder for extra warmth as well as an adjustable mummy hood. You can really stay warm in this sleeping bag. It has a 0 degree temperature rating. (Our first night out felt like 0 degrees, until we cuddled up in our awesome sleeping bag. My husband is some sort of human space heater so he actually ended up unzipping his side. Luckily, the bag is big enough that I didn't even notice and stayed comfortably warm on my side).
- There are interior storage pockets for things like wallets, keys, etc.
- Although the sleeping bag is massive, It easily stores as a neat little roll in it's Oxford nylon compression sack.
Amazon offers it at a good price, especially for prime members. They also include a lot of great pictures. It's a wonderful family-size sleeping bag that I only wish I had found sooner!

Back to WorldChanging - for a sustainable future
Dear Stop Global Warming Member,
On January 20th, President-elect Obama and Congress will sit down to work in Washington facing major challenges -- the economy, national security, and the climate crisis. It is important that they understand the common thread that ties all of these challenges together -- our addiction to foreign oil and dirty coal.
The solution is to "Repower America" with 100% clean electricity within 10 years. It will push our economy out of recession, create millions of new American jobs, end our addiction to dirty coal and foreign oil and solve the climate crisis.
Tell President-elect Obama and Congress we support them in the bold action needed to Repower America.
Send a message here (http://apps.facebook.com/causes/petitions/10).
We'll deliver all signatures to President-elect Obama and key Congressional leaders during their first weeks on the job in January 2009. One big bundle, one clear message. Here's the text of the petition:
We need to Repower America with 100% clean electricity within ten years. Doing so will mean millions of American jobs, stable energy prices, and freedom from dirty fossil fuels and global warming pollution. Repower America and end our addiction to foreign oil and dirty coal. Americans are calling for bold change.
Sign now:
Thank you,
Cathy Zoi

Unfortunately, today bears bad news — Brock Little just lost his battle with cancer.
Brock was a big wave surfer, a big story writer, sometimes a big movie star, and always a guy with a big heart. He shoved the boundaries of possibility in XXL and was never afraid to speak straight from his uninhibited mind. He had an undeniable influence on the sport as we know it.
Rest in peace, Brock. We appreciate who you were. We appreciate what you did. We will miss you dearly.

The High Court held in (1) Rosserlane Consultants Ltd (2) Swinbrook Developments Limited v Credit Suisse International(2015) that there was no implied term requiring the Defendant to use reasonable care to obtain the best price it could when asserting its right of forced sale under a participation agreement. The agreement was freely negotiated by experienced commercial lawyers and while the Claimants were under an express obligation to obtain the best price they could when procuring a sale, the Defendant was not under any express obligation to do so and no term was to be implied to impose such a duty.
In December 2003, Caspian Energy Group LP ("CEG") acceded to a joint venture agreement with the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic. The agreement gave CEG a 51 per cent. stake in the Shirvan Oil Company ("Shirvan"), which operated a well-established oilfield in Azerbaijan.
One of the terms of the joint venture agreement required CEG to contribute a certain level of funding to Shirvan, to enable it to continue to develop the oilfield. The Claimants, being respectively the general partner and limited partner of CEG, were ultimately responsible for this. By December 2006, CEG was struggling to meet its existing payment obligations, and it therefore entered into a loan agreement with the Defendant. The purpose of the loan was to re-finance its existing debts and enable CEG to realise its stake in Shirvan. As part of the agreement, the Claimants granted security over their interests in CEG in favour of the Defendant. This included entry into a participation agreement (the "Participation Agreement"), which, amongst other things, granted the Defendant the right to step in and sell CEG on behalf of the Claimants if they had not sold it by a set date. This right was subsequently exercised and the Defendant sold CEG in February 2008.
The key issue to be determined was whether the Participation Agreement contained an implied term to the effect that the Defendant, once it asserted its right of forced sale, was under a duty to use reasonable care to obtain the best price it reasonably could for CEG. The Claimants put forward three alternative arguments:
- by taking on the responsibility of selling CEG, the Defendant was acting as the Claimants' agent and so owed a duty to take reasonable care as to the best price it could achieve;
- a party given the power to sell another's property is subject to an implied duty to take reasonable care as to the best price it can obtain (the situation being analogous to that of a mortgagee selling property subject to a mortgage); and
- a duty should be implied as a result of the particular circumstances and relationship of the parties, as provided inAttorney General of Belize v Belize Telecom Ltd (2009).
Peter Smith J rejected the Claimants' arguments as follows:
- He did not agree that the Defendant was acting as agent for the Claimants. He considered that the Defendant had been given the right of forced sale in the name of the Claimants in order to protect the Defendant's own interests under the loan agreement. This was not a general appointment and the rights and obligations assumed were only those that were expressly set out in the Participation Agreement.
- He was not persuaded that the duty owed by a mortgagee of a property should be applied on a more general basis. The Participation Agreement was freely negotiated by experienced commercial lawyers, and had been drafted in such a way as to give the Defendant a method of control without such control taking the form of a mortgage.
- He considered that the judgment in Belize was not applicable to the facts of this case. Instead, the "traditional" rules of contractual construction should apply. Given that the Participation Agreement was freely negotiated and drafted by experienced commercial lawyers and had been amended specifically to impose an obligation on the Claimants to obtain the best price possible for CEG (without putting any express obligation on the Defendant to do the same), it was clear that no such term should be implied.
This case reaffirms that a court will not readily imply a term into a contract where the parties have not addressed a particular issue, regardless of the outcome that this produces. This is important for significant commercial contracts given the sometimes conflicting case law in this area, and will be welcomed by those who value the commercial certainty that contracts governed by English law provide.

Another Successful NFPA Annual Conference
Held at the beginning of February in Maui, Hawaii, the 2017 NFPA Annual Conference drew more than 200 overall attendees, with 78 member companies represented. Among the attendees were 21 who attended for the first time, and 18 from among NFPA's Future Leaders group.
The conference schedule included multiple networking opportunities, as well as insights from speakers, such as renowned business consultant Ram Charan, Jay Rogers – CEO of Local Motors, Dan Bagley of B&B Management Labs, and Alan Beaulieu of ITR Economics.
Ram's presentation challenged the audience to think about how to organize and compete as companies become more algorithmically driven with sensors on products communicating data across the web. Dan Bagley followed up with very practical advice on working with the challenge of turning "Big Data" into practical decision making. Jay Rogers, whose company is on the cutting edge of additive manufacturing, spoke about co-creation as a means to be more entrepreneurial and innovative. Alan Beaulieu closed with his outlook on the U.S. and world economy—the news looks good for the next couple years.
As always, the conference includes the NFPA annual business meeting. Watch for updates from Eric Lanke soon.
And, helping make the conference a success were our generous sponsors, whom we would like to acknowledge and thank:
Platinum Sponsors: Aventics, Bimba Manufacturing Company, Diesel Progress, Dura-Bar, Muncie Power Products and SMC Corporation.
Gold Sponsors: Aventics, Fluid Power World, FloDraulic Group, Hydraulics & Pneumatics Magazine, and Parker Hannifin Corp.
Silver Sponsors: Design World and OEM Controls
Bronze Sponsors: The International Fluid Power Society, Medical Design & Outsourcing, and Moseys Production Machinists.

Thirteen D800 & 85mm f1.4 street portraits ( large)
Wow...i get the urge to go out and do some street photography. These are amazin and inspiring.
Thanks for posting these photos.
The very purpose of existence is to reconcile the glowing opinion we hold of ourselves with appalling things that other people think about us -------Quentin Crisp
Absolutely stunning Bill. The first 3 are mind-blowing. Converting to B&W was a very smart ideal. You should be very proud.
Time Goes By!
I can only imagine how these look full sized.
Oh man, I suck at street photography. Too shy, I guess.
But these amazing pictures are a powerful motivator.
Thanks everyone.. I'm really happy I went out to the world today.. Sometimes the only thing that stands between us and great work is us..
The world is not as bad as we are made to believe.. People are nicer than we give them credit to be.
Grab you camera and go out to the streets.. You owe it to yourself to try.
Its good times to be a photographer!

fantastic shots. So much detail is a bit scary. Not all women are going to love this. Looks like D800 + 85mm 1.4 is a stunning combo

+1 great shots for sure
I love street photography but have never come up with a way to get that close to folks, what do you ask them and how often do folks say no? Your subjects seem to like you and seem to have no problem being photographed.
Does anyone use the 85mm f1.8, is it a decent lens also?
Are these conversions or are you shooting B&W in camera?

Rene from Atlanta, Ga writes,
Do you feel the salt spray is strong enough to kill a carpenter bee?
Technically you are not supposed to shoot anything that stings so we can't tell you that it will kill a carpenter bee. What we can tell you is that we have several guns in the office and we have shot beetles, stinkbugs, centipedes, weevils and very large flies (we shot these around the exterior of our office, none of these bugs would dare venture into DMOPC territory!) and all of these insects have succumbed to the Bug A Salt Gun.

Looks awesome great work and keep developing please
Oh man! This looks gorgeous!
this is amazing!!
I'm speechless...You will revive the excitement for GDT mods
It could be a 9.99$ DLC
I will, I definitely will
thank you, I'll do my best to bring this all to life
maybe they will let me do the graphics for GDT 2
Yeah, well I was thinking that the library GDT uses for drawing some of the game (such as the indicators at the top center) perhaps doesn't support, for example drop shadows, but you could eventually probably write your own code to make it work.
I KNOW YOU @walcorYOU ARE A SECRET DEVELOPER OF GDT AND EPM! (jk)
I can't wait for one of these
Why didn't you show us any screenshots of floor 1? (I noticed. )
This is absolutely amazing. I cannot wait to try this mod! Good luck to you. :3
HAAAAAAAAAAX!You will make GDT too epic.
Such epicVery mod
The design is absolutely amazing, it fits the game very well. I hope this really evolves in to something and we can try it ourselves in the future
Great job !

Once again, it was time to get a fill valve, I used the Fluidmaster Universal Toilet Fill Valve, no metal components :)
Other materials, tools you'll need:
-Wrench or pliers
-x-Acto knife
-Thread seal tape
First, turn off the water supply and flush the tank.
In order to get an easier work area, the metal flanged tubing was completely disconnected. The lock nut or flapper was then removed using a wrench.
Go ahead and remove the old ballcock and float ball. Keep a bucket underneath if you still have water in the tank.
It's now a good opportunity to clean that tank.
Using a x-acto knife score the cone out of the shank washer. Place the shank washer on threaded shank of the new valve. The flat surface sits against the valve.
Install the new fill valve making sure the critical level mark on the valve is at least 1" above the top of the overflow pipe (it can be adjusted, even though I didn't have to do that).
Position the valve where the fill valve nipple is in direct position to the overflow pipe. Push down on the valve shank...
I decided to change the metal flanged tubing for a vinyl/braided connector.
Using the coupling nut, the connector was then installed, using thread seal tape as an extra precaution to prevent leaks.
Finally, the refill tube needs to be inserted down into the overflow pipe, making sure it sits above water level, cut it with the scissors if necessary. The other end is then connected to the fill valve nipple.
You can now turn on the water supply.
Take a big breath without worrying about water running after you flush the toilet.
There are many kinds of toilets, all of them with different mechanisms, the fill valve I used comes with complete instructions for different situations you may encounter, there were some extra parts in the kit I didn't need.
It was an easy and still very economical way (around $15), to extend the life of the toilets.

Cape Fur Seal
There are 35 species of seals in the world. Duiker Island is a Cape Fur Seal and bird sanctuary, home to thousands of seals and many birds such as the Cape Cormorant, the Bank Cormorants, Black Back Gulls, Kelp Gulls and Hartlaub Gulls.
It is illegal to go onto the island. The majority of the seals on Duiker Island are males waiting out their time until they reach the right breeding age, which is between the ages of 8 to 12 years depending on their size. Duiker Island is not a breeding colony as the sea can get very rough and the pups get swept off. The island is most densely populated from January through March due to the seals moulting. During this period they do not go off in search of food but rely on fats they have stored in their blubber.
Breeding is a continuous cycle and takes place in November/December in breeding colonies around the coastline of South Africa and Namibia. After fertilization there is a dormant period of 4 months and thereafter development continues, making the active gestation period 8 months. The pups are then born in late November early December. A cow usually only has one pup at a time when she reaches the breeding age which is 4-5 years old. She knows her pup by its smell and call and she will only mother her own offspring. Pups are entirely dependent on milk for the first 6 months. They are weaned between 8-10 months old.
They grow quickly and start to swim at 6 weeks old. By about 7 months they can spend 2-3 days at sea on their own and can already swim long distances. It has been noted that tagged seals have swum from Cape Town to Cape Cross in Namibia, a distance of 1600 kms at the age of 8 months. The Cape Fur Seal dives to a depth of 36m on average but diving abilities varies between species. Their ears and nostrils close tightly when they dive and they cannot breathe underwater. Even while sleeping in the water they have to surface to breathe, every 10-15 minutes for young ones and 30 minutes for the adults.
- In general they eat fish, shrimps, shellfish and squid.
- Seals can hear quite well in the air but their hearing underwater is much better.
- Their ability to tell what direction a sound is coming from is very good.
- Their eyes are adapted to see both on land and in the water.
- They maintain a constant body temperature of 38.5 C
- Bulls can weigh up to 350 kgs and cows up to 113 kgs
