Wallpaper of albino sloth4/29/2024 ![]() This makes tree sloths “one of the most striking examples of convergent evolution known among mammals”. This means that the extant genera evolved analogous traits, such as locomotion methods, size, habitat, and many other traits independently from one another as opposed to from their last common ancestor. Most morphological studies have concluded that convergent evolution is the mechanism that resulted in today's two genera of tree sloths. Much of the morphological evidence to support the hypothesis of diphyly has been based on the structure of the inner ear. Though data has been collected on over 33 different species of sloths by analyzing bone structures, many of the relationships between clades on a phylogenetic tree were unclear. Based on the morphological comparisons, it was thought the two-toed sloths nested phylogenetically within one of the divisions of Caribbean sloths. It was unclear from this work from which ground-dwelling sloth taxa the three-toed sloths evolved. Recent phylogenetic analyses support analysis of morphological data from the 1970s and 1980s, indicating the two genera are not closely related and adapted to their arboreal lifestyles independently. Although similar in overall appearance, the relationship between the two genera is not close. Relation to the three-toed sloth īoth types of sloth tend to occupy the same forests in most areas, a particular species of the somewhat smaller and generally slower-moving three-toed sloth ( Bradypus) and a single species of the two-toed type will jointly predominate. Their ancestors evolved with marine vertebrae, the three toed-sloth and the manatee are the only other mammals with similar vertebrae. hofmanni separated by the Andes has been reported. 7 million years ago) between the two populations of C. ![]() Furthermore, based on cytochrome c oxidase subunit I sequences, a similar divergence date ( c. hoffmani diverged 6 to 7 million years ago. pallescens, Lönnberg, 1928 – PeruĬentral America and northwestern South AmericaĪ study of retrovirus and mitochondrial DNA suggests that C. juruanus, Lönnberg, 1942 – Brazil, Bolivia, extreme eastern Peru ![]() agustinus, Allen, 1913 – Venezuela, western Colombia, northern Ecuador hoffmanni, Peters, 1858 – Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama Northern South America, found in Venezuela, the Guyanas, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil north of the Amazon River Extant species Genus Choloepus – Illiger, 1811 – two species The two species of Choloepus (which means "lame foot" ), Linnaeus's two-toed sloth ( Choloepus didactylus) and Hoffmann's two-toed sloth ( Choloepus hoffmanni), were formerly believed on the basis of morphological studies to be the only surviving members of the sloth family Megalonychidae, but have now been shown by molecular results to be closest to extinct ground sloths of the family Mylodontidae. Choloepus is a genus of xenarthran mammals of Central and South America within the monotypic family Choloepodidae, consisting of two-toed sloths, sometimes also called two-fingered sloths.

![]() Over the course of several weeks, we’ve tested FlowerChecker, LeafSnap Premium by Appixi, PlantID by Control, PlantNet and PlantSnap Pro on a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 smartphone. Hill discusses how plant identification apps for smartphones have seen “significant improvements” over the past several years, and how these apps offer folks “the opportunity to take a photo and get an instant identification in many cases.” With this in mind, we’ve tested five plant identification apps available on Android and iOS that you can use to quickly find out what plant you’re interested in, whether you’re hiking outdoors with loved ones or starting an indoor garden that you want your pets to be safe around. Hill’s responsibilities include collaborating on plant and seed identification as a member of MSU’s Plant & Pest Diagnostics team. “Sometimes it is a curiosity about the world around us,” she writes, and at “other times it is out of the desire or need to manage areas like gardens, agricultural fields, restored habitats, and/or natural preserves.” Dr. ![]() ![]() Hill, Ph.D., an academic dpecialist in the Department of Plant, Soil and Microbial Sciences at Michigan State University (MSU). “We are driven to identify plants for many reasons,” explains Erin C. Ditto if you’re wondering if that glossy leaf your loved one pulled up while camping is poison ivy, if that house plant your cat just nibbled on will make it sick or any other particular reason you may have. Whether you’re looking for help identifying plants along your morning hike or designing the flower or food garden of your dreams, there is a mobile plant identification app that can help you.

Fish tank bundle guide stardew valley4/29/2024 But the Community Center bundles yield nice benefits, and it’s reasonable to want those ASAP. You could take five game years to complete everything, there is no penalty. But once you’ve completed the first bundle (and the Spring Foraging bundle is very easy to complete) two other Rooms will appear (Pantry and Fish Tank), and then one more per bundle as you complete other bundles until all 6 Rooms are available.Įvery little bundle will yield a reward, like seeds or equipment or food completing every bundle in a Room will lead to the restoration of that Room in the Community Centre and yield a major ongoing benefit, and completing all of them will result in a grand party, Joja leaving town, and Pierre’s being open every day of the week.īundles are groups of donations you make to rebuild the Community Center and get rewards. At first, only the Crafts Room will show. Go visit him after your farming is done for the day (at this stage of the game that doesn’t take too long.) You’ll get another interesting cut-scene, including having the Wizard feed you some mysterious green potion this enables you to actually read the gibberish, when you re-visit the Community Centre. The day after you’ve done that, you’ll get a letter from the wizard. You can wander around the community centre as much as you like, but there’s only one action that matters - you have to look at the glowing table in the Crafts Room, and see the message spelled out in gibberish letters. ![]() The Mayor will ask you to sort that out, and he’ll leave the place unlocked for you. (It has to be a sunny day and you have to be coming from the Bus Stop, but if you’re taking your first harvest to sell at Pierre’s this is pretty likely to happen immediately.) During the cut-scene, Lewis will complain that the place is a mess, that Joja-Corp want the land for a warehouse and he’s *this* *close* to giving up and letting them buy it, and you’ll see something that might or might not be a rat. If you enter the town on (or after) day 5 of the game, you will find yourself encountering Mayor Lewis at the Community Centre. Some things appear twice - many fish and valuable items don’t appear at all - but in general you’re going to want to go everywhere on the map, to try out every different activity, to build many of the buildings and machines that are available. ![]() ![]() The bundles in the Community Centre generally run along the lines of collecting one of every different thing in the game. So we’ll assume that’s what you’re doing. ![]() If you just want to make money, see the Farming page.īut you came to Stardew Valley to escape a draining and demoralising job at Joja - so the story favours developing the Community Centre as it stands, and the game is more interesting and varied that way, and it leads you to work towards goals that also improve your profits. This means you only need to play a money-making game, and you do not need to develop a diversified farm, nor to explore the breadth of the game elsewhere. If you buy a membership at Joja Corporation, the Community Centre will be replaced by a Joja Warehouse, where you can pay for the same major community upgrades that are available with the community centre bundle.

Please take me to a useless website4/28/2024 ![]() Owen: I think we are, we put ourselves forward quite a lot. Would you say that you’re quite adventurous?Īlfie: I think we like a sense of adventure. But other than that, I think we’re prepared for what’s about to happen. I’m relying on that.Īlfie: I’m not relying on that. Owen: We’ve both got our iPods though, which both tell the time. ![]() I thought everything was going to be fine as I assumed Owen was going to bring an analogue but then I realised he didn’t have anything! I have got a digital watch, but I can’t figure out how to change the time on it. Owen: I think relying on other people as well, we need to try and take as much advantage of that as possible.Īlfie: We thought we’d prepared for the trip until we realised yesterday neither of us have a watch, so we have no way of telling the time – I wasn’t impressed when I found that out. ![]() But certainly, the importance of budgeting money, trying to be on the move if possible, sleeping on the move will be important. Have you picked up any tips from previous series?Īlfie: I think from watching the previous series it gives a bit of a sugar-coated view, I don’t think I’m quite ready for how difficult it’s going to be and how gruelling it's going to be. If we do find ourselves coming last on one of the legs or at a checkpoint we will then have a bit of cash so we can leapfrog if we need it. Owen: We also thought that strategy would be a good idea so we have a bit of extra cash if we need it to fall back on. But I think as soon as that klaxon goes that might all go out the window! We think that everybody in the first leg is going to be quite ‘Gung Ho’ and perhaps aren’t going to have that much headspace, they’re going to be a little bit erratic, so we’re going to try and take advantage of that. So, particularly in the first leg just try and not eat into our spending too much. The strategy is, in very loose terms, earn first and race later. Have you got a strategy going into the race?Īlfie: We have discussed a strategy. And personally, ourselves we wanted to see how we’d deal in this sort of situation and how well we can do, see if we can make it to the end and maybe even win. Also, we wanted to put our friendship to the test, see what we can achieve with it. Owen: We wanted to do this because, as Alfie said, we wanted to go travelling and we’ve never done this sort of thing together. It was something that we wanted to try further down the line anyway and we thought it would be such a great experience that it would be impossible to say no to. Why did you want to take part in the series?Īlfie: I think we wanted to take part in the series mainly because we’re both lovers of travelling and have done a little bit of travelling before but never done the whole backpacking, country-hopping situation. ![]() While one wants to experience everything the race throws at them, the other only has eyes for the finish line. Only one team can emerge victorious as they all vie to be first and claim the cash prize of £20,000.Īlfie (20, Football Referee) and Owen (20, Trainee Pilot) from Hertfordshire are best friends from school with a determination and maturity rarely seen. But with their feet on the ground, and their eyes wide open the rewards will be great, and the memories will be everlasting. Leaving behind their smartphones, internet access and bank cards, the race will test the five teams like never before, pushing them to both their physical and emotional limits. The teams include: two mother and daughter duos, Brydie and Sharon and Eugenie and Isabel best friends, Alfie and Owen married couple, Stephen and Viv and brother and sister, Betty and James. From northernmost Japan, they will cross six seas and eight borders, skirting the path of the volcanic ring of fire - the most geologically unstable region on the planet to reach the finish line in Lombok, an idyllic Indonesian island paradise. Race Across the World, the BBC’s epic, hugely successful and much-loved BAFTA-award winning series returns to BBC One and BBC iPlayer for its hotly anticipated new season from Wednesday 10 April.Įastern Asia is this year’s route, and the five intrepid duos will battle it out in a breath-taking 15,000 kilometres race across several countries.

Tune in on Saturday, Octoat 12pm ET for the TED Countdown Global Livestream: an empowering virtual event laying out a credible and realistic pathway to a net-zero future. The session drew to a close with time for reflection while participants listened to a 3-minutes of ocean soundscape “The Ocean is a Drum” from artist Gordon Hempton.Take action on climate change. We were thrilled that 2020 Ocean Leaders Charlie Gough, Yolanda Sanchez and Hugo Tagholm could attend TED Countdown and participate in these conversations. The discussions were facilitated by postgraduate researchers from the University of Edinburgh whose research is in ocean-climate space. ![]() The topics were on the themes of blue carbon, a regenerative blue economy (though regenerative aquaculture and tourism) and ocean literacy. The session began with short talks from Peter Thompson UN Secretary-General Special Envoy to the Ocean on the international policy perspectives of the ocean-climate nexus and a review of ocean-climate science from EOL co-director and Professor of Climate Science, Sandy Tudhope.įollowing the talks, speakers, organisers and attendees were invited to join round-table discussions on a particular ocean-climate topic. The session was organised and run by EOL co-director Dr Meriwether Wilson along with UNFCCC High Level Climate Champions for the OceanChampion Ignace Beguin Billecocq and Kirstin Irving from Leaders Quest Susan made the case that the ocean is an unsung hero in the story of climate change, providing readymade solutions to the climate crisis - if we are smart enough to recognise them.Ī gathering of ocean minds happened on day 3 of TED Countdown at the breakout session “Our awesome ocean: The nexus with climate”. ![]() The role ocean can play in climate change was reiterated in the second ocean talk by Susan Ruffo, Senior Advisor for Ocean and Climate at United Nations Foundation. ![]() Using the example of Cabo Pulmo – the community led Marine Protected Area in Mexico – he presented the case to protect 30% of the ocean by 2030 to allow marine ecosystems to flourish and reduce the impact of climate change. First, with marine ecologist Enric Sala who presented on the ability of the ocean to rejuvenate itself when left to its own devices. The ocean made two TED mainstage appearances during the week. Just two weeks ahead of the 26th UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow in policymakers, business leaders, scientists, activists and creatives came together for four days to identify climate solutions. From the 15 th to the 18 th October, around 600 climate change leaders gathered in Edinburgh for the TED Countdown Summit – a conference entirely dedicated to the climate crisis.

![]() HTTPS mode has made no discernable difference between off and on results are the same I have erased any previous certs from all emulators and devices before regenning certs and trying again I have confirmed allowances and authorizations in my firewall (Avast) ![]() I have uninstalled SWEX and deleted both folders (on Desktop and in AppData) before reinstalling and generating new certs Noah Manduke, president of social sector brand consultancy Durable Good and former chief strategy officer, Jeff Skoll Group, conveyed the essence of brand Democracy, explaining that organizations need ‘a deliberate process that brings people from awareness (I know) to understanding (I know why) to adoption (I know how) to internalizing the brand (I believe).I have been unsuccessful in getting SW to connect while proxy is active on multiple emulators and devices. As a result, the need to exert control over how the brand is presented and portrayed in order to ensure strict consistency is largely eliminated. Every employee and volunteer authentically and personally communicates the essence of the brand. In this way, everyone develops a clear understanding of the organization’s core identity and can become an effective brand advocate and ambassador. Internal and external stakeholders are engaged in the process of defining, refining, articulating, and communicating the organization’s brand identity. By brand Democracy, we do not mean that everyone gets to “vote” on the brand, but it does mean that there is stakeholder participation. It means that the nonprofit organization trusts its members, staff, participants, and volunteers to participate in both the development of the organization’s brand identity and the communication of that identity. “Brand Democracy is the process of engaging internal and external stakeholders. Enabling volunteers to accept that responsibility means giving them responsibility and ownership over their work, but also over the brand, the very essence of the organization. Developing volunteer leadership demands that individuals not formally employed by the organization accept responsibility to create shared purpose within the community they hope to mobilize. Community organizing demands volunteer leadership. Giving up some degree of control of brand is one of the more interesting tensions inherent in introducing grassroots community organizing into an established nonprofit organization. These ideas remind me very much of Seth Godin. Brands are fluid and dynamic interactions between the ways that organizations portray and communicate their work and the ways that stakeholders, donors, volunteers, participants, clients, etc perceive that communication and actually interact with the work. The idea that a brand is something defined primarily by a logo and tagline and that a central office can command and control the evolution of brand is outdated. One of the things that resonated with me most strongly about the book’s description and the brief excerpt linked above is the need for organizations engaging in social change work to dispose of the outdated idea of brand protection and control. I intend to read over the next week or so and hope to have a review and some comments on it shortly. The book looks amazing and I just bought it. I just stumbled upon a new book that was tweeted about by the Stanford Social Innovation Review (they provide a great excerpt) called The Brand IDEA: Managing Nonprofit Brands with Integrity, Democracy and Affinity. |
