Distribution and habitat
The Palm Cockatoo is distributed in rainforests and woodlands of New Guinea island in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, and far northern Queensland, Australia. It can still be found wild and free on the branches of the trees along the road in Sorong, West Papua, Indonesia.
Flocking
This species normally does not appear in large numbers. They are not known to flock feed like many of the cockatoo species. Usually only one to six individuals will be observed feeding together at one time. As with other large birds both parents care for young so seeing a breeding pair is not unusual. If these birds do congregate it will usually happen in open woodland just after sunrise or along the rainforest edge before returning to individual roost for the night.
Calls
The Palm Cockatoo has a large and complex vocal repertoire, including many whistles and even a "hello" call that sounds surprisingly human-like.
There are distinct dialects throughout the species' range. It has a unique territorial display where the bird (typically the male) drums with a large (i.e. up to 1" diameter, 15 cm long) stick or seed-pod against a dead bough or tree, creating a loud noise that can be heard up to 100 m away. After drumming, the male occasionally strips the drum-tool into small pieces to line the nest.[citation needed]. Although this drumming behaviour was discovered over two decades ago (in 1984 by G.A. Wood), the reason why palm cockatoos drum is still a mystery. One reason could be that females can assess the durability of the nesting hollow by the resonance of the drumming. Another possibility could be that males drum to mark their territory against other males.[citation needed] The Palm Cockatoo is an unusual bird, being an ancient species and one of the few bird species known to use tools.
Breeding
Palm Cockatoos only lay one egg every second year and have one of the lowest breeding success rates reported for any species of parrot. Off-setting this is their very long life-span. A male commenced breeding at 29 in Taronga Zoo in Sydney, and a female at the London Zoo was 40 when she laid her first egg in 1966. There is anecdotal evidence of a Palm Cockatoo reaching 80 or 90 years of age in an Australian zoo, although the oldest confirmed individual was aged 56 in London Zoo in 2000. Although longevity of captive birds is known, it is still unknown how long palm cockatoos live in the wild. Breeding takes place inside tree hollows that look like standing pipes. Fires play an important role in the destruction and creation of nest hollows. Fires allow the colonisation of microorganisms and termites, which enter the tree and start hollowing out the inside. Cyclones are important in the final stage of nest hollow development.
Diet
The Palm Cockatoo is often observed feeding during the early hours of the day on a diet that consists mostly of wild growing Pandanus palm fruit and nuts from the Kanari tree, Canarium australasicum. They have also been seen eating fruit from Darwin Stringybark Eucalyptus tetradonta and Nonda tree as well as seeds from the Cocky apple tree, Beach almond and Black Bean tree.[5] In early captive situations pet owners would either feed dog kibble or generic bird seed mixture while zoos would give them "monkey biscuits." As their nutritional needs became more apparent over the years owners have shifted to specially formulated "manufactured diet" pellets along with a wide variety of treats like peanuts, pecans, Brazil nuts, pine nuts, sunflower seeds, oranges, apples, grapes, pomegranate, bananas, sweet potatoes, carrots, beets, broccoli and kale. Many zoos will still give them monkey biscuits to broaden their diet.
Status
The Palm Cockatoo is still relatively common in Cape York, but is threatened there by habitat destruction, particularly due to bauxite mining around Weipa and altered fire regimes elsewhere. Palm Cockatoos are hunted in New Guinea. This species is in high demand for the pet trade due to its unusual appearance. The Palm Cockatoo is currently evaluated as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. It is listed on Appendix I of CITES.

Hog Oiler
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
U.S. Patent 1,241,023
A hog oiler was a mechanical device employed on farms to be used by hogs to provide relief from insects and offer skin protection. It consisted of a reservoir to hold oil, and a means to distribute the oil onto the hog, often via grooved wheels or cylinders. Hogs seeking relief would rub up against a wheel (or cylinder) causing it to rotate and dispense oil onto their bodies.
History
In the late 1800s and early 1900s hog lice and hog cholera could prove devastating to livestock producers and the hog oiler was seen as one way to combat the problem. The first known patent for a hog oiler device was issued in 1902 by the U.S. Patent Office, however the era of innovation for this device was mainly the years 1913-1923.
According to Goodbye Mr. Louse, a book by Robert Rauhauser, there may have many as 157 different patented models of hog oilers, but collector’s today estimate there could have been as many as 600 manufacturers, most going unpatented.
Prices for hog oilers would range anywhere from four dollars for a small model to twelve dollars and even higher for larger ones with more features. The same companies that manufactured the oilers would often sell special medicated oil to be used with the device, offering further protection. Many farmers however simply chose to use recycled oil or made their own cheaper versions.
The U.S. government, while being willing to issue patents, suggested that the oilers might be less than effective, according to collector Bob Coates in Farm Collector magazine. "They (the government) recommended mopping or dipping (the hogs) instead" said Coats.
Companies throughout the mid-western U.S., such as Lisle Manufacturing of Clarinda, Iowa, offered farmers and hog producers a variety of styles and sizes including fence-mounted, stand-alone, walk-through and ratchet-governed. However the most common were double-wheel models known as Colubians and Sipes.
Often made of cast iron, the early hog oilers could be quite heavy, with some models weighing as much as 150 pounds. Later models from the 1920s onward would mostly be constructed of cheaper, lighter steel and sheet metal. Other known manufacturers of hog oilers included the National Oiler Company of Richmond, Indiana, Rowe Manufacturing, Galesburg, Illinois, and Starbuck Manufacturing, Illinois Implement Company, and O.H.C.Manufacturing, all of Peoria, Illinois.
Collectibles
World War II led to a small but growing collectors market for hog oilers today. The cast iron models are considered the most desirable antiques since many originals were gathered up in war scrap iron drives and destroyed.
Hog oiler collectors come from all locations and ages, some as young as 11 years old.[6] Generally the "hog belt" of the upper mid-west provides the majority of hog oiler finds today—states such as Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska and parts of Kansas and Missouri.
Prices paid by collectors can vary widely, based on size, functions, and condition of the machine.
Smaller hog oilers can be purchased for sometimes thirty dollars or less, while the rarest models can have asking prices in the many thousands of dollars.
A small cast iron "wheel" type hog oiler that appeared nearly unused was featured on the History Channel program Pawn Stars on August 8, 2011. It sold for $100.
#OnceUponATime
In spring 2013 I organized #SpaceBembel, a #SpaceSocial where a group of #SpaceTweeps got together again to share some space fun in Frankfurt.
As one of my mottos is "no #SpaceTweetup without a proper badge" I designed one and distributed it to all participants.
What I had started back then became kind of a tradition in the meantime:
Inspired by several #Space- and #ScienceTweetups I painted logos for every event I attended,
got them printed on badges for all, as well as thank-you posters, t-shirts, etc. as memento of our shared adventures.
And 2013 has been quite a ride :-)
#SpaceBembel *
#ASE26 *
#BuraMooN 1 & 2 * #SpaceKoelschX * #CERNTweetup * #ItIsStonehengeReunionOClock * #ScienceTweetup
And 2014 is also amazing already:
I already created designs for #SpaceFestVI and #AlexTweetup taking place in May
and @SpaceUpUK in July 2014.
I am very much looking forward to sharing these events with so many friends from all over the world.
More to come ;-)
www.flickr.com/photos/spaceholix/collections/721576354819...
So #AlexTweetup is about our trip to Baikonur shared by 16 dedicated #SpaceTweeps and two #SpaceMascots named #PinkLittleDragon and @CamillaSpace.
All of us will share this unique adventure of witnessing the Soyuz launch of our German astronaut Alexander Gerst ( #FF @Astro_Alex ) to #ISS on 28. May 2014 via Twitter, Facebook and other social media channels.
Here is the collection of my brainstorming and the design process as well as many pictures of the past 5 years, from the day at #TdLR09, where we "met" Alexander Gerst and the other #shenanigans for the very first (but not the last) time, shortly after their assignments for a trip to #ISS.
Oh yes, there was a time before twitter and other social media ;-)
www.flickr.com/photos/spaceholix/sets/72157644182872632/
My latest design features the #NebraSkydisk - one of the most beautiful and most fascinating archeological and astronomical artefacts ever found - until today.
This is the oldest-known illustration of our cosmos so far, with an estimated age of 3600 years (!!!), the earliest known diagram of the heavens, which makes it one or may be THE most important archaeological discovery of the twenty-first century.
It was discovered by treasure hunters on July 4th 1999 near the city of Nebra in Germany and since then fascinates not only the experts as its history is really exciting from then till now.

www.bibliotecapleyades.net/arqueologia/nebra_disk.htm
I fell in love with this beauty as soon as I saw it the very first time several years ago.
And I always wanted to paint it one day!
So what better match could there be than combining this masterpiece -created by stargazers thousands of years ago, who loved observing (and already started understanding) our night sky- with two fantastic #SpaceEvents in May 2014.
#SpaceFestVI in Pasadena ( www.spacefest.info/VI/brochure.html ), THE #SpaceEvent of the year, where many astronauts of the dawning of space exploration did reunite and inspire all of us
and then -end of May- our #AlexTweetup - where we celebrate the launch of @esa astronaut Alexander Gerst, whose mission name is #TheBlueDot (!!!).
Both events bring people together (again), who travel all around the world to share their love of space and our beautiful blue marble …
And I am really honored that sharing my badges and designs with so many #SpaceTweeps AND astronauts of the very first era of space exploration until today made so many people smile again. And these smiles seem to be contagious ;-D
I cannot really explain it, there simply is this very special close link between us.
NOTE:
#NebraSkyDisk is under the copyright of the Landesamt für Denkmalpflege und Archäologie Sachsen-Anhalt

and - as asked for - I will gladly send pictures of my design as well as badges and photos of #SpaceFestVI in Pasadena and #AlexTweetup in Baikonur to the Museum for its collection / exhibition.
It is my pleasure to share the #NebraSkydisk far beyond the borders of Germany - especially during events, which only can take place, because some people started documenting their night-sky-observations thousands of years ago.

Between the flags I left additional room for more countries to join that global project in the near future.
Especially in difficult political times like today this cooperation hopefully will enable our world to grow together more closely step by step.
Now we are looking forward to this trip and are curious how everything will work out.
This definitely is a very adventurous trip and if someone had told me 5 years ago, when we met that guy in blue for the very first time that we would be going to KAZAKHSTAN half a decade later to see HIS launch, I would NEVER EVER have believed it.
It seems our lives as #Spaceholix have many surprises in store for us ;-)

Main story
There are two reasons why a person faces the sea.
One to enjoy a slice of shine in the sea like children bubbling over in the beach.
The other to brush the dust of memory like an old man who misses old days staring at the shine
quietly.
Those lead to only one meaning though they do not seem to overlap. It’s a rebirth.
I face myself to change tomorrow a vague day into something certain.
That is the meaning of a rebirth.
I had a very sweet girlfriend when I was 18.
After she left I knew the meaning of gentleness for the first time and also a true pain of loss. After
she left # how many times did I depend too much on her # doubt her # envy her and keep on telling lies
until I realized it is love?
I wonder whether a nobody like me could have given something to her who was struggling in the
daily life in those days. Giving something is arrogant conceit. It is nothing but self-satisfaction.
I had been thinking about such a thing.
However I guess what she saw in me was because I had nothing. That‘s why she tried to see
something in me. Perhaps she found a slight possibility in me # a guy filled with ambiguous unstable
tomorrow. But I wasted days depending too much on her gentleness.
Now I finally can convey how I felt in those days when we met.

あらすじ
大学を目指している北見ケイは、SNS上で、6歳年上のイベントコンパニオン、上村香織に出会う。
上京してきた香織の夢は、有名なアーティストの友達になるためだ。
そのためにはラジオ局のプロデューサー、大沢亮の存在が必要だった。
大沢は、ラジオの生放送中、香織へ語りかける。
「僕には妻子がある。しかし、僕は君に会いたいと思っている」
ケイの同級生で、彼を想っている三條里香は、香織の動向を探っていた。。。。。
本編
人が海へ向かう理由には、二つある。
ひとつは、波打ち際ではしゃぐ子供のように、今の瞬間の海の輝きを楽しむこと。
もうひとつは、その輝きを静かに見据えて、過ぎ去った日々を懐かしむ老人のように記憶の埃を払うこと。
二つは重なり合わないようではあるけれども、たったひとつの意味しか生まない。
再生だ。
明日っていう、曖昧な日を確実なものへと変えてゆくために、自分の存在に向き合う。
それが再生の意味だ。
十八歳だった僕には大切な人がいた。

The largest school district in Iowa is not going to finish the year in the classroom but through distance learning. A big first step is making sure students have access to technology at home. I dropped by North and Roosevelt high schools as laptops were being distributed to high school seniors in need.
Volunteers are instructed on how to inspect apples at the Capital Area Food Bank in Washington, D.C. on March 30, 2016. Mixed commodities from public donations and gleaned food from distributors and producers are loaded onto a conveyor belt system that circulates the items through two warehouse rooms where items are picked by category and placed bins that helps the operation redistribute the commodities. U.S. Department of Agriculture USDA Food and Nutrition Service FNS programs partner with organizations such as this to distribute food to those in need. In times of disaster, using food banks and congregate feeding operations such as school systems and soup kitchens are effective and efficient ways to support temporary needs.

The Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation is widely distributed in many western American states. The unit consists of fluvial (river/floodplain) and lacustrine (lake) deposits. Dinosaur bones and dinosaur tracks are moderately common in Morrison Formation sediments. Exceptionally dinosaur-rich localities include Como Bluff in Wyoming, Dinosaur National Monument in Utah, Dinosaur Ridge in Colorado, and the Cleveland-Lloyd Quarry in Utah (seen here).
---------------------------------------------
From signage:
More than a hundred years ago, local cowboys and shepherds discovered large black bones. These were clearly not the bones of their livestock.
University of Utah geologists investigated the area in 1928 and 1929 and unearthed about 500 bones. In 1939, paleontologists from Princeton University started a three-year excavation of the quarry to provide bones for its museum exhibits.
Cleveland-Lloyd is Not a Person
W. Lee Stokes grew up in the nearby town of Cleveland. His family and others ran cattle in the area and knew of the dinosaur bones. While attending Princeton University in New Jersey, Stokes told his geology professors about the bones.
A crew from Princeton, including Stokes, excavated at the quarry from 1939-1941. Impressed by the results from the previous two years, Malcolm Lloyd, a lawyer in Philadelphia and fellow Princeton graduate, donated $10,000 to fund the 1941 excavation.
The quarry takes its name from Stokes' hometown of Cleveland, and Lloyd, a major financial supporter.
Educational and Research Opportunities
In 1960, the University of Utah began excavation in cooperation with several universities and museums. Institutions all over the world helped to fund the work and, in return, they received displays of dinosaurs found at the quarry.
Much of the work was done by paleontologist Jim Madsen under the direction of W. Lee Stokes, then professor of geology at the University of Utah.
In 2001, the University of Utah returned to investigate the deposit. The excavation tools were virtually unchanged from earlier projects, but the research focus has shifted.
Paleontologists now understand that bones alone don't tell the whole story. All details found within the deposit, including geology, vertical and horizontal bone placement, and orientation, are studied.
Quarry Characteristics
- Dense concentrations of bones
- Disarticulated skeletons (bones are scattered)
- Most bones in good condition
- Some bones have tooth marks or breaks
- Some bones crushed (or trampled)
- Both large and small bones present (smaller bones didn't wash away)
- Horizontal orientation of bones
- Bone layers indicate multiple events
- Majority of dinosaurs juvenile
- Sediments fine-grained (mudstone or clay)
- Bone layer relatively thin
- High ratio of carnivores to herbivores
More than 75% of the animals found here are carnivorous. Scientists estimate that only five to ten percent of modern animals are predators. That is about the ratio found at other fossil quarries. Something unusual happened here.
Allosaurus is one of the best known dinosaurs and the most common predatory dinosaur of the Late Jurassic. One of its distinguishing characteristics is the presence of a small bony crest just above and forward of each massive eye. Many of the specimens from the Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry are from juvenile and adolescent allosaurs.
Ceratosaurus
Also possessing small horns above the eyes, Ceratosaurus is best known by the presence of a horn on its nose. It is unlikely that this horn was used as a weapon, but was more likely used for species recognition or mating display.
Torvosaurus
Remains of Torvosaurus have been found in Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming. It was a powerfully built flesh eater with huge teeth and savage claws.
Stokesosaurus clevelandi was named in honor of W. Lee Stokes and the quarry where it was first discovered. This uncommon carnivorous dinosaur had a shorter snout, but longer legs, than Allosaurus.
Marshosaurus
Found in Utah and Colorado, Marshosaurus was named for 19th century paleontologist Othneil Charles Marsh. Smaller than Allosaurus and known only from incomplete fossil material, this animal is distinguished from other dinosaurs by its hip bones.
Crocodilia
Although related, crocodilians are not dinosaurs. This group of "living fossils" evolved in the Late Triassic and remains largely unchanged today.
Glytops
Another "living fossil", turtles have changed little in the past 200 million years. Only the genus of turtle, Glyptops, has been discovered at the Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry.
Barosaurus is a rare dinosaur with a neck that was over 30 feet long. Its neck was even longer than its cousin Diplodocus. However, its tail was relatively short and its limbs were stocky.
Camarasaurus is one of the most common and best studied of the long-necked dinosaurs. Its head was large and box-like and its neck was shorter and thicker than other similar-sized long-necked dinosaurs.
Stegosaurus is one of only a few plated dinosaurs that are found in western North America. Triangular plates were arranged along its back, and its tail was armed with four long spikes The large plates may have helped the animal to regulate body temperature and may have made it look larger to potential predators.
Camptosaurus
Found in Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, and England, Camptosaurus had five finger and a snout that ended in a horny beak. While it may have grazed on four legs, the short forelimbs suggest that it walked on only its hindlimbs.

Great Moments in Early American Motoring
HARRY ANDERSON
Esso/Exxon produced and distributed them at their service stations, along with road maps (remember them?). Well, if you ever saw or owned one of these calendars, you probably had no idea that it would become a collector's item. And you may not have known the name or reputation of the artist behind them. His name was Harry Anderson.
Born in 1906 Chicago to Swedish parents. Harry enjoyed a stable family life and showed early proficiency in mathematics. A math major at the University of Illinois, Harry took a painting class as a breather from the challenging major course requirements. Here he discovered his talent and love for drawing, and his path changed direction. He enrolled at the Syracuse (NY) School of Art in 1927 and graduated with honors in 1931. His "mid-course correction" changed forever his career and his life. Though it took more than a year during the Depression Era to make his first magazine illustration sale, he eventually became one of America's foremost illustrators. By 1937 he began work on a national advertising campaign for Sealed Power Piston Rings; by the late 1930's and 1940'; Harry had established himself as a much sought-after illustrator for the major magazines of the day, including Collier's, Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping, Ladies' Home Journal, Redbook and The Saturday Evening Post, among others. He married Ruth Huebel in 1941 and enjoyed a long and successful career illustrating for many religious publishing houses, often accepting only minimum wage for these latter efforts.
Harry's art earned many accolades during his lifetime, including the prestigious New York An Directors Club Award, membership in the National Academy of Design, and induction into the Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame.
In the Sixties he began painting calendars for Esso (now Exxon Oil Company), creating beautiful images of American landmarks and featuring the classic cars of the era. Called "Great Moments in American History" and "Great Moments in Early American Motoring," these paintings are shining examples of what Harry Anderson was capable of, at a time in his life when many of his generation were in toned retirement. Only Norman Rockwell and Harry Anderson were still supporting themselves as artist/ illustrators into their older age, and both artists' work reflected their high morals and fine characters.
Enjoy these early advertising images and calendar illustrations—they are outstanding and just a small sample of Harry's body of work. Harry Anderson died in 1996 at age ninety; the last of a generation of illustrators from the Golden Age of magazine illustration. His work is still circulated and loved today, especially by a new generation of young readers and artists.
Thursday, 2 April 2015: Chumling (2385 m) to Chhokang Paro (3030 m)
A mega day taking the high route via Chumchet, Yarcho, Gompa Goan, Lari and Puh, distributing LED solar lights carried by porter Henry, before dropping down to the Sardi Khola / Syar Khola / Tsum Chu at Domje and climbing back up to Chhokang Paro where we were met by Namgyal’s mum, bringing tea and snacks to help us on the final mile or so to their home.
En route, lots of Tibetan tea, tsampa, rice and veg; offers of arak and chang; ~2000m ascent… visits to homes, schools, a monastery and a nunnery, high in the mountains of Upper Tsum Valley.
Wonderful.

University of Utah geologists investigated the area in 1928 and 1929 and unearthed about 500 bones. In 1939, paleontologists from Princeton University started a three-year excavation of the quarry to provide bones for its museum exhibits.
Cleveland-Lloyd is Not a Person
W. Lee Stokes grew up in the nearby town of Cleveland. His family and others ran cattle in the area and knew of the dinosaur bones. While attending Princeton University in New Jersey, Stokes told his geology professors about the bones.
A crew from Princeton, including Stokes, excavated at the quarry from 1939-1941. Impressed by the results from the previous two years, Malcolm Lloyd, a lawyer in Philadelphia and fellow Princeton graduate, donated $10,000 to fund the 1941 excavation.
The quarry takes its name from Stokes' hometown of Cleveland, and Lloyd, a major financial supporter.
Educational and Research Opportunities
In 1960, the University of Utah began excavation in cooperation with several universities and museums. Institutions all over the world helped to fund the work and, in return, they received displays of dinosaurs found at the quarry.
Much of the work was done by paleontologist Jim Madsen under the direction of W. Lee Stokes, then professor of geology at the University of Utah.
In 2001, the University of Utah returned to investigate the deposit. The excavation tools were virtually unchanged from earlier projects, but the research focus has shifted.
Paleontologists now understand that bones alone don't tell the whole story. All details found within the deposit, including geology, vertical and horizontal bone placement, and orientation, are studied.
Quarry Characteristics
- Dense concentrations of bones
- Disarticulated skeletons (bones are scattered)
- Most bones in good condition
- Some bones have tooth marks or breaks
- Some bones crushed (or trampled)
- Both large and small bones present (smaller bones didn't wash away)
- Horizontal orientation of bones
- Bone layers indicate multiple events
- Majority of dinosaurs juvenile
- Sediments fine-grained (mudstone or clay)
- Bone layer relatively thin
- High ratio of carnivores to herbivores
More than 75% of the animals found here are carnivorous. Scientists estimate that only five to ten percent of modern animals are predators. That is about the ratio found at other fossil quarries. Something unusual happened here.
Allosaurus is one of the best known dinosaurs and the most common predatory dinosaur of the Late Jurassic. One of its distinguishing characteristics is the presence of a small bony crest just above and forward of each massive eye. Many of the specimens from the Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry are from juvenile and adolescent allosaurs.
Ceratosaurus
Also possessing small horns above the eyes, Ceratosaurus is best known by the presence of a horn on its nose. It is unlikely that this horn was used as a weapon, but was more likely used for species recognition or mating display.
Torvosaurus
Remains of Torvosaurus have been found in Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming. It was a powerfully built flesh eater with huge teeth and savage claws.
Stokesosaurus clevelandi was named in honor of W. Lee Stokes and the quarry where it was first discovered. This uncommon carnivorous dinosaur had a shorter snout, but longer legs, than Allosaurus.
Marshosaurus
Found in Utah and Colorado, Marshosaurus was named for 19th century paleontologist Othneil Charles Marsh. Smaller than Allosaurus and known only from incomplete fossil material, this animal is distinguished from other dinosaurs by its hip bones.
Crocodilia
Although related, crocodilians are not dinosaurs. This group of "living fossils" evolved in the Late Triassic and remains largely unchanged today.
Glytops
Another "living fossil", turtles have changed little in the past 200 million years. Only the genus of turtle, Glyptops, has been discovered at the Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry.
Barosaurus is a rare dinosaur with a neck that was over 30 feet long. Its neck was even longer than its cousin Diplodocus. However, its tail was relatively short and its limbs were stocky.
Camarasaurus is one of the most common and best studied of the long-necked dinosaurs. Its head was large and box-like and its neck was shorter and thicker than other similar-sized long-necked dinosaurs.
Stegosaurus is one of only a few plated dinosaurs that are found in western North America. Triangular plates were arranged along its back, and its tail was armed with four long spikes The large plates may have helped the animal to regulate body temperature and may have made it look larger to potential predators.
Camptosaurus
Found in Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, and England, Camptosaurus had five finger and a snout that ended in a horny beak. While it may have grazed on four legs, the short forelimbs suggest that it walked on only its hindlimbs.

Tyto alba (Coruja-das-torres, Barn Owl)
The Barn Owl (Tyto alba) is the most widely distributed species of owl, and one of the most widespread of all birds. It is also referred to as Common Barn Owl, to distinguish it from other species in the barn-owl family Tytonidae. These form one of two main lineages of living owls, the other being the typical owls (Strigidae). T. alba is found almost anywhere in the world except polar and desert regions, Asia north of the Alpide belt, most of Indonesia, and the Pacific islands.
It is known by many other names, which may refer to the appearance, call, habitat or the eerie, silent flight: White Owl, Silver Owl, Demon Owl, Ghost Owl, Death Owl, Night Owl, Rat Owl, Church Owl, Cave Owl, Stone Owl, Monkey-faced Owl, Hissing Owl, Hobgoblin or Hobby Owl, Dobby Owl, Golden Owl, Scritch Owl, Screech Owl, Straw Owl, Barnyard Owl and Delicate Owl. "Golden Owl" might also refer to the related Golden Masked Owl (T. aurantia). "Hissing Owl" and, particularly in the USA, "screech owl", referring to the piercing calls of these birds. The latter name, however, more correctly applies to a different group of birds, the screech-owls in the genus Megascops. The barn owl's scientific name, established by G.A. Scopoli in 1769, literally means "white owl", from the onomatopoetic Ancient Greek tyto (τυτο) for an owl—compare English "hooter"—and Latin alba, "white".
The Ashy-faced Owl (T. glaucops) was for some time included in T. alba, and by some authors its Lesser Antilles populations insularis and nigrescens still are. The Barn Owls from the Indopacific region are sometimes separated as Eastern Barn-owl, Australian Barn-owl or Delicate Barn-owl (T. delicatula). While this may be warranted, it is not clear between which races to draw the line between the two species. Also, some island subspecies are occasionally treated as distinct species. While all this may be warranted, such a move is generally eschewed pending further information on Barn Owl phylogeography.

The Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation is widely distributed in many western American states. The unit consists of fluvial (river/floodplain) and lacustrine (lake) deposits. Dinosaur bones and dinosaur tracks are moderately common in Morrison Formation sediments. Exceptionally dinosaur-rich localities include Como Bluff in Wyoming, Dinosaur National Monument in Utah, Dinosaur Ridge in Colorado, and the Cleveland-Lloyd Quarry in Utah (seen here).

Dated: Saturday March 12, 2016
Location: Raichand Meghwar Primary School
Old Mirpur, District Mirpurkhas
&
Sunflower Primary School,
Khawaja District Tando Allahyar
Giving Solar Lanterns as a prize to the best performing students is not a new initiative of Pervaiz Lodhie. In previous years Lodhie Foundation has extended his initiative to various schools in Sindh and Punjab.
Inspiring with the idea, Mr. Jonathan Mitchell PHD President and Founder of Concentric development Inc. invited Pervaiz Lodhie to extend his program of distributing solar lanterns as prizes in PEP schools. Pervaiz Lodhie has immediately offered to gift 249 lanterns, allowing for three prizes per school. His suggestion was to distribute them to 1)Top student of the year 2) Top most improved student of the year 3) Top best attendance student of the year.
Mr. Lodhie also suggested encouraging the prize recipients to teach a short literacy course to family members or relatives.
During his recent visit to Pakistan in March 2016, Pervaiz visited the two schools in Mirpurkas and Tando Allahyar and distributed the solar lanterns to the 7 best students. Remaining 242 lanterns will be distributed in first and second week of April 2016

Distributed Programming the Google Way
Google is known to operate one of the largest civilian computing infrastructures. These hardware resources are managed by a vast collection of software frameworks and tools, which form the basis for highly parallelized, reliable, low-latency, high-throughput applications. They also provide useful programming abstractions that speed up development and debugging. Some parts of this infrastructure, such as MapReduce, GFS, Sawzall, Chubby, Protocol Buffers, are available as open source projects or published in academic papers, while others are proprietary. Rather than dive into the dark corners of each of these tools, this talk tries to distill key design themes and patterns, which enable these unique capabilities, and can be re-used in other contexts.

Loved ones recall slain trooper
Buzz up! By Michael Hasch, TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Tuesday, December 13, 2005
Cpl. Joseph Pokorny was many things -- a fearless policeman, an avid hunter, a private person who would give a friend the shirt off his back -- but most of all, he was a devoted father.
"He cared for his kids more than anything in the world," said his brother, Frank Pokorny, wiping tears from his eyes Monday outside his family's home in Beaver County.
Pokorny, 45, of Moon, a 22-year state police veteran, was shot and killed while making a traffic stop early yesterday near the Rosslyn Farms on-ramp to the Parkway West in Carnegie.
"He was a dedicated trooper and devoted father to his two children," said Robinson District Judge Carla Swearingen, one of the small but trusted circle of people Pokorny called friends.
Pokorny opted to work a steady midnight shift so he could be home during the day with his son, Joseph, 17, known as Jake, and daughter, Alexandre, 15, known as Ali.
"If he gave you his word, he stood by it. His biggest priority was his children. Everybody that knew him liked him," said Swearingen.
Pokorny was nearly 6 feet tall and 200 pounds, but he was small in childhood and learned at an early age how to defend himself from larger bullies, Frank Pokorny said.
"He was extremely fearless. He didn't take anything from anybody. He was a very hard-nosed person," his brother said.
Joseph Pokorny received a letter of commendation for bravery after an incident on July 8 when state police began chasing a man suspected of drunken driving and pulling a gun on a trooper.
When troopers tried to end the high-speed chase by putting spike strips on the Beaver Valley Expressway, the motorist turned around and began driving the wrong way.
When Pokorny saw the motorist trying to ram the side of a police car, he steered his cruiser into the path of the speeding car, hitting it head-on in a fiery collision.
"He saved one of our guys by taking on the other guy head-on," said state police Cpl. Kenneth Yuhas, one of several troopers offering condolences and support yesterday to Pokorny's parents, Florence and Joseph R. Pokorny, in Center Township.
"He actually put his life on the line by ramming the vehicle and stopping (it)," said Col. Jeffrey Miller, the head of the state police. "He was a very aggressive and conscientious corporal, always out there backing up the troops."
Pokorny, who joined the state police in 1983 after graduation from Indiana University in Bloomington, Ind., spent much of his career working dangerous undercover narcotics and vice details, his brother said.
In 1990, he joined the state police Tactical Narcotics Team based in Greensburg, Westmoreland County.
"He would never tell me stories about it except that it was scary and it was ugly," Frank Pokorny said. "(Other troopers) tell me he was always the first one through the front door with the battering ram."
Tom Alexander, who was Pokorny's football coach at Center Area High School, remembers "Joey" as a student who gave his all on the football field and in the classroom.
"Joey was one of those kids who played hard. He chose a rough career. He was a good student," Alexander said.
Pokorny's smile is what impressed state police Cpl. David Bova. "The thing I'll miss the most is his laugh and his big smile," Bova said.
"He was a great kid, a great adult who was fun-loving in high school but took his job seriously," said Anthony Mendicino, principal of Center Area High School, where Pokorny graduated in 1978.
Frank Pokorny said his brother did not decide to pursue a career in law enforcement until his last semester in school.
Following his promotion to corporal in September 2000, Joseph Pokorny served at various stations --including Belle Vernon, Fayette County -- until January 2003 when he became the vice supervisor for Troop B headquarters in Washington County.
Pokorny, who also is survived by a sister, Laura Hill, of Center, became a patrol supervisor in Moon in July 2004, but refused to be tied to a desk reading reports.
"He was, like, caffeinated. He was high-speed. He would go out and get the job done. He was not a slug," said Trooper Robin Mungo, a state police spokeswoman.
"He always wanted to be out on the road with the guys," Yuhas said.
But Frank Pokorny said his brother was "a very private" man.
"He certainly was not a mixer. He had a very small circle of friends. He was very guarded until you earned his trust and respect. Then he'd give you the shirt off his back," Frank Pokorny said.
"He was like a brother to me," said Ronald Evans, who often went hunting with the Pokorny brothers. "He was a great guy, the best. You knew you could count on him."
Crystal Hoffman, who lives near Joseph Pokorny's home in the Sharon Hill Manor neighborhood of Moon, said she regularly returned Pokorny's golden retriever when it broke free of its tether and ended up at her home.
"I didn't know Joe well, but he seemed to have a very a good sense of humor. He seemed like the kind of guy who really enjoyed life," Hoffman said.
The Pokorny brothers were avid hunters who made a number of trips together to hunt elk out West.
They last saw each other last week when Joseph Pokorny visited his brother's home in Hanover, Beaver County.
"He went out in the back woods to go hunting. He was an incredible woodsman. When he came back, he said he saw a buck but didn't shoot it. He smiled and said, 'I didn't want to.'"
Frank Pokorny, known as "Fearless Frank" for his special teams play for the Steelers in 1985 and '86, made no effort to hide his pain and tears.
"He was my older brother. I loved and miss everything about him."

Email is a great point to point messaging system. Email is also good for distributing information to a group of people who we think are interested in that bit of information.
This does not always work; people want to know things they are interested in. They also want to pull out the information rather then pushed. Internet forum or message board is a great way of achieving that.
People can ask question, get answers by the community or authority, message is saved for future reference. The message is also saves as a thread which gives a better understanding on the conversation. A search option makes the forum even more accessible.
There are various ways of starting a forum. You can start with hosted forum powered yahoo/google, or you can start your own one. Business organization probably would like to have their own forum to have better control and security like myBB, PhpBB, vBulletin. Internet forum is also known as bulletin boards.
Moodle has its in-build forum module. The initial purpose was to use forum for better learning delivery as a part of the course, however forum can be used independently just as a discussion group.

A Mbot, the three-wheeled Robot used at the University of Michigan to teach AI and programing, sits atop a box in Peter Gaskell’s lab in the Ford Motor Company Robotics Building on the North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Wednesday, June 28, 2023. This Mbot was used as part of the Distributed Teaching Collaborative Summer Session. The box the robot is sitting on serves as a safety measure while being programed. From this position, even if accidentally activated, the Mbot cannot start driving itself.
Participants from Berea College, Howard University, Kennesaw State University, and Morehouse College spent the final week of June at the University of Michigan College of Engineering Robotics Department participating in the Distributed Teaching Collaborative Summer Session.. The program, which began with the new Robotics 101 course in Fall 2020 being remotely taught to Morehouse and Spelman College students, enables instructors from different institutions, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), to benefit from open-source resources available for new course development at R1 institutions. This collaboration provides students from HBCUs and MSIs with access to cutting-edge robotics education and helps promote equity in STEM fields.
In March of this year Robotics PhD student Jana Pavlasek and Professor Chad Jenkins were awarded the Claudia Joan Alexander Trailblazer Award for their work developing the new course for undergraduate students, Rob 102: Introduction to AI and Programming. Their commitment to creating opportunity in AI and Robotics continues to extend beyond the University of Michigan. In Fall 2023, Robotics 102 will be offered in this collaborative distributed format to the partner schools. This initiative will help to provide equitable opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds to learn and grow in the field of robotics.

I made my annual trip to London in November, as ever, the only bloke in a coach full of women. I think it’s my 16th year now. A fund-raising trip in aid of Slaithwaite Brass Band it started as a one day trip and eleven years ago we started to stay overnight Sat/Sun at The Cumberland Hotel at Marble Arch, a superb central location. Leaving at seven we are usually at the hotel for 11.45 subject to traffic. We usually have really good weather, this year though Saturday was really wet, I was probably the only person on the trip who wasn’t bothered, having made the trip so many times I was looking forward to getting photos on the busy streets in the wet, all reflections and umbrellas, something different for a change. I headed off with my camera and backpack as soon as we got there. Currently struggling with a damaged ankle, I tried to keep the kit to a minimum and in the end, I decided to stick with my 16-35mm lens all weekend. I started with the Selfridges Christmas window display and worked my way to Piccadilly, making sure I found a licensed café for late lunch and a glass of wine (two actually) I was meeting my daughters and two of their friends to take them out later so I was working to a bit of an agenda.
After eating Italian, we popped along to the Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park only to find that they stopped serving food and drink at 10.00pm-it was the drink that we were after needless to say so we went back to the City of Quebec pub near the hotel. We were directed to the night club downstairs. Having been upstairs many times we had no idea the Quebec was a gay pub- we soon realised when we got downstairs. We had a good laugh and a drink or two and made it in before midnight.
I checked out loaded up with a beautiful breakfast at 8.15 on Sunday. It had dried up and was a glorious sunny day, a complete contrast to Saturday. I felt like I had London to myself for a while and made good progress, I made it to Covent Garden by 9.15. I walked through Seven Dials, Theatreland, Chinatown, St Pauls, crossed the Thames and down to Tower Bridge. I covered about ten Miles each day and took around 800 shots, mostly in the rain on Saturday.
I was father Christmas again on the way home, we all buy a mystery present and I get the job of going around the coach distributing them, there’s some serious drinking on the way home so things can get a bit boisterous at the back of the coach. We left at 3.15, had an overlong break at Tibshelf services and we were back in Slaithwaite for 8.30. A few of us dragged our bags to The Little Bridge wine bar for another latish night, followed by an early start for me unfortunately.

Loved ones recall slain trooper
Buzz up! By Michael Hasch, TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Tuesday, December 13, 2005
Cpl. Joseph Pokorny was many things -- a fearless policeman, an avid hunter, a private person who would give a friend the shirt off his back -- but most of all, he was a devoted father.
"He cared for his kids more than anything in the world," said his brother, Frank Pokorny, wiping tears from his eyes Monday outside his family's home in Beaver County.
Pokorny, 45, of Moon, a 22-year state police veteran, was shot and killed while making a traffic stop early yesterday near the Rosslyn Farms on-ramp to the Parkway West in Carnegie.
"He was a dedicated trooper and devoted father to his two children," said Robinson District Judge Carla Swearingen, one of the small but trusted circle of people Pokorny called friends.
Pokorny opted to work a steady midnight shift so he could be home during the day with his son, Joseph, 17, known as Jake, and daughter, Alexandre, 15, known as Ali.
"If he gave you his word, he stood by it. His biggest priority was his children. Everybody that knew him liked him," said Swearingen.
Pokorny was nearly 6 feet tall and 200 pounds, but he was small in childhood and learned at an early age how to defend himself from larger bullies, Frank Pokorny said.
"He was extremely fearless. He didn't take anything from anybody. He was a very hard-nosed person," his brother said.
Joseph Pokorny received a letter of commendation for bravery after an incident on July 8 when state police began chasing a man suspected of drunken driving and pulling a gun on a trooper.
When troopers tried to end the high-speed chase by putting spike strips on the Beaver Valley Expressway, the motorist turned around and began driving the wrong way.
When Pokorny saw the motorist trying to ram the side of a police car, he steered his cruiser into the path of the speeding car, hitting it head-on in a fiery collision.
"He saved one of our guys by taking on the other guy head-on," said state police Cpl. Kenneth Yuhas, one of several troopers offering condolences and support yesterday to Pokorny's parents, Florence and Joseph R. Pokorny, in Center Township.
"He actually put his life on the line by ramming the vehicle and stopping (it)," said Col. Jeffrey Miller, the head of the state police. "He was a very aggressive and conscientious corporal, always out there backing up the troops."
Pokorny, who joined the state police in 1983 after graduation from Indiana University in Bloomington, Ind., spent much of his career working dangerous undercover narcotics and vice details, his brother said.
In 1990, he joined the state police Tactical Narcotics Team based in Greensburg, Westmoreland County.
"He would never tell me stories about it except that it was scary and it was ugly," Frank Pokorny said. "(Other troopers) tell me he was always the first one through the front door with the battering ram."
Tom Alexander, who was Pokorny's football coach at Center Area High School, remembers "Joey" as a student who gave his all on the football field and in the classroom.
"Joey was one of those kids who played hard. He chose a rough career. He was a good student," Alexander said.
Pokorny's smile is what impressed state police Cpl. David Bova. "The thing I'll miss the most is his laugh and his big smile," Bova said.
"He was a great kid, a great adult who was fun-loving in high school but took his job seriously," said Anthony Mendicino, principal of Center Area High School, where Pokorny graduated in 1978.
Frank Pokorny said his brother did not decide to pursue a career in law enforcement until his last semester in school.
Following his promotion to corporal in September 2000, Joseph Pokorny served at various stations --including Belle Vernon, Fayette County -- until January 2003 when he became the vice supervisor for Troop B headquarters in Washington County.
Pokorny, who also is survived by a sister, Laura Hill, of Center, became a patrol supervisor in Moon in July 2004, but refused to be tied to a desk reading reports.
"He was, like, caffeinated. He was high-speed. He would go out and get the job done. He was not a slug," said Trooper Robin Mungo, a state police spokeswoman.
"He always wanted to be out on the road with the guys," Yuhas said.
But Frank Pokorny said his brother was "a very private" man.
"He certainly was not a mixer. He had a very small circle of friends. He was very guarded until you earned his trust and respect. Then he'd give you the shirt off his back," Frank Pokorny said.
"He was like a brother to me," said Ronald Evans, who often went hunting with the Pokorny brothers. "He was a great guy, the best. You knew you could count on him."
Crystal Hoffman, who lives near Joseph Pokorny's home in the Sharon Hill Manor neighborhood of Moon, said she regularly returned Pokorny's golden retriever when it broke free of its tether and ended up at her home.
"I didn't know Joe well, but he seemed to have a very a good sense of humor. He seemed like the kind of guy who really enjoyed life," Hoffman said.
The Pokorny brothers were avid hunters who made a number of trips together to hunt elk out West.
They last saw each other last week when Joseph Pokorny visited his brother's home in Hanover, Beaver County.
"He went out in the back woods to go hunting. He was an incredible woodsman. When he came back, he said he saw a buck but didn't shoot it. He smiled and said, 'I didn't want to.'"
Frank Pokorny, known as "Fearless Frank" for his special teams play for the Steelers in 1985 and '86, made no effort to hide his pain and tears.
"He was my older brother. I loved and miss everything about him."
