I’ve started bringing the feeders in, but I have a lot of wildlife in my backyard, and I’d love to catch them on camera when I’m not around. I thought maybe a possum might be the culprit, but after reading all the postings, I’m pretty sure it’s a raccoon. I also am finding my feeders drained in the morning afters years of no incidents.

The amazon basin as seen from a satellite image (image from ). Shrinking green: the plight of the Amazon rainforest No one knows exactly why they do this, but some researchers have suggested that as females require extra nutrition for making their eggs, the male just unfortunately makes for a handy snack. However, there are many reports of anacondas cannibalizing their own, usually a female attacking and eating a male. Although there are many legends that paint the green anaconda as a man-eater, there is little to no evidence to prove this, although some field researchers have reported being attacked whilst on surveys in the depths of the jungle. One meal will keep an anaconda going for several months thanks to their extremely low metabolism. The largest snakes can take down prey as large as capybara, tapirs and caimans, although this can be risky for the snake, resulting in injury or even in extreme cases, death. They will eat virtually anything they can overpower, and constrict the prey between their powerful muscles, crushing them to death. Green Anacondas are primarily nocturnal and spend most of their lives in or around water. They are specially adapted with their eyes positioned on the top of their head, enabling them to keep an eye out for prey whilst keeping submerged out of sight. Semi-aquatic, anacondas can be found throughout the swamps and slow-moving streams of the Amazon and the Orinoco River basins, and at least one individual has been found in the Florida Everglades, suggesting these snakes are becoming invasive in the United States. Currently, there is a $50,000 reward for anyone who can catch an anaconda larger than this size, but thanks to the remote locations these snakes reside in and the difficulty in transporting a snake for confirmation has made this particularly challenging for any aspiring snake hunters out there. In captivity, this record was beaten by a female anaconda in Pittsburgh Zoo, who reached the grand old size of 6.27 metres. The largest proven snake ever found in the wild was 5.21 metres and weighed 97.5 kilograms, unearthed by Dr Jesus Antonio Rivas, a world leading anaconda scientist who has observed over a thousand of the snakes. The Green Anaconda (image from Slithering through the jungles of South America is the heaviest snake in the world, the green anaconda, with historical records reporting individuals as large as 9 metres, although this has never been officially proved.

That’s because this device is designed to shampoo carpets and not to dry vacuum. The manufacturer recommends that you vacuum the carpet first before using the carpet cleaner for the best results. The bristles are longer and arranged helically which means the machine is capable of cleaning every type of carpet, even the high-pile ones. Its ability to agitate dirt particles is impressive, with two brush rolls that rotate in the same direction for enhanced removal of stuck dirt and debris. It comes with a 10A motor which creates suction that’s powerful enough for efficient pick up of debris and dirty water when cleaning carpets. The SmartWash features all these attributes. That requires it to have a powerful motor that creates strong suction, effective delivery of cleaning liquid, and well-designed brush roll to loosen up the dirt embedded in the carpet.
8/22/2023 0 Comments Sharp by design arch nemesis price“Sophisticated mass marketing doesn’t mean targeting everyone, nor does it mean treating everyone the same. That is not quite what Sharp says what he actually claims – and I quote – is as follows. He is not necessarily opposed to segmentation and targeting but unfortunately his work has been used to make the case for ignoring segments and targeting everyone. Sharp has been misquoted and misrepresented frequently on this point in the past. My critique centered on the most contentious and debated conclusion from How Brands Grow – the focus on ‘sophisticated mass marketing’. You came here for blood.” The audience stiffened. “But,” I observed half way through my speech, “you did not come to hear me make sweet academic love to Byron. It is one of the great works of our marketing generation and has done much to pull the marketing discipline back to reality, towards empiricism and away from the corporate wankery that passes for branding so much of the time these days. I made sure I started by explaining just how good and how influential How Brands Grow is, and how much I agreed with so much of it. It might have been my imagination but even Professor Sharp’s infamously ice cold demeanour moistened for just a second as we entered the cavernous room. In the end I ran out of time, got massively pissed the night before the debate and ended up in Waterstones four hours before the debate with a gigantic hangover and an urgent need to speed-read both editions of How Brands Grow and write down my bullet points on the back of my Tube pass.Ī short read and then a long Tube trip across London and, before I knew it, there was Byron and off we went into a massive conference hall featuring two lecterns and 3,000 assembled marketers. In the months preceding the event I planned to take some time out to review Sharp’s impressive corpus of work and build an impressive empirical case with key points and perhaps a few dress rehearsals. READ MORE: Ritson versus Sharp – Who won the clash of the marketing titans? The organisers asked me and my old arch nemesis Professor Byron Sharp from the Ehrenberg Bass Institute to close the conference with an animated debate about Sharp’s seismic impact on the field of marketing and, specifically, some of his more contentious evidence-based claims that I had taken exception to. The ads for this year’s Festival of Marketing have sparked happy memories of last year’s event. Mark Ritson debates Byron Sharp on mass marketing versus targeting at the Festival of Marketing 2017 8/22/2023 0 Comments Dr. david blight“Douglass engaged in a lifelong autobiographical quest for a coherent story of ascendance and familial identity,” Blight writes, and “for the healing of his own wounds”. But it offers penetrating insights into the effect slavery had on Douglass’s personality. Douglass, one hopes, achieved a measure of internal peace.īlight’s book is – thankfully – not a psychobiography. Selected as US marshal for the District of Columbia by President Rutherford Hayes, he even met an ageing Thomas Auld, Sophia’s brother-in-law, as a way “to declare his equality, and in a way to practice a self-renewing forgiveness”. He perceptively described the end of Reconstruction as “peace among the whites” and promoted “elbow room and enlarged opportunities” for black citizens along with strong federal enforcement of their rights. Moving to Washington, he became active in Republican politics. “If the old abolitionist needed a new occupation,” Blight writes, “he surely had one now – the frightening black man with brains who had penetrated the racist psyches of powerful people with words and his physical presence.” This is a monumental book, a definitive biography, rich with the biblical cadences that filled Douglass’ lifeĪfter the war, Douglas fought for votes for African Americans. He met Lincoln several times, notably at the White House in 1864, where he was “treated … as a man”. The anti-slavery movement was racked by conflict but he gave as good as he got.ĭuring the civil war, Blight writes, Douglass “equate treason with slaveholding” and advocated using the war to end slavery, its cause, deploying black troops to do so. He founded the North Star newspaper, attacking slavery in the south and racism in the north, and supported women’s suffrage at Seneca Falls in 1848. “We have opened our papers,” he wrote, “new and damp from the press.”Įarly efforts included a visit to Britain in which Douglass experienced the exhilaration of avoiding race prejudice for the first time. Three autobiographies and countless pamphlets and editorials show a language both lyrical and beautiful. Once he began telling his story in public, Douglass brought the brutal inhumanity of slavery to northern audiences and launched his true life’s work. His travail under Covey’s yoke became Douglass’ crucifixion and resurrection.” In 1838 he escaped north, making a new life and taking a new surname, adapted from Sir Walter Scott.Īs David Blight writes, “Douglass’ great gift … is that he found ways to convert the scars Covey left on his body into words that might change the world. He worked in Baltimore, was converted as a teenager to a strong personal faith, and taught himself oratory from sermons and books. He was taught to read (then a crime) by a white woman, Sophia Auld, in the family that enslaved him. His second wife, Helen, wrote of “the shining angel of truth by whose side I believe he was born, and by his side he unflinchingly walked through his life”. But he was born a slave, in Maryland in 1818, and he escaped to freedom and a life of voice and pen, thundering against slavery and for justice and the rights of African Americans and women – while becoming all those other things as well. 8/22/2023 0 Comments File storageThe public cloud scales out by adding instances and PowerFlex matches that capability. Instead the scale-out PowerFlex system software is used to provide block storage. PowerStore’s operating system provides unified file and block storage and, like the PowerMax OS, is not a scale-out system. The announced Databricks partnership follows on from the earlier Snowflake deal and we have APEX Protection Storage for Public Cloud in existence as well.ĪPEX File Storage for AWS is based on PowerScale’s OneFS, the Isilon scale-out filesystem software, but APEX Block Storage for AWS and Azure is not based on block storage software from its PowerStore or PowerMax arrays. Now, a year later, Dell has announced that APEX Storage for Public Cloud, with block and file storage, is available in AWS and will debut in Azure later this year. PowerFlex provided block storage in AWS using Elastic Block Storage (EBS) or the EC2 Instance Store. It scales out to thousands of nodes and originated as a ScaleIO upgrade and rebrand. PowerFlex is like VxRail but doesn’t use the vSphere hypervisor. Later, in November that year Dell said its PowerFlex hyperconverged infrastructure system was available on the AWS marketplace as part of the APEX program. A demo showed PowerScale’s Isilon SW operating in AWS. Dell wants to provide a consistent public cloud-to-on-premises experience with PowerStore (file and block), PowerFlex (HCI block), PowerScale and/or ObjectScale (file and object).Īt Dell Technologies World in May last year it had put its PowerProtect software into the AWS and Azure clouds in the form of PowerProtect Cyber Recovery and a preview showed Dell storage could feed data into Snowflake’s data warehouse. This was part of its APEX Multi-Cloud Data Services initiative. Making Dell’s file and block storage available in the public cloud is the goal of Project Alpine, announced a year ago. Analysis: A deeper look into Dell’s APEX announcements in Vegas this week reveals a deal with Databricks for Dell storage to feed its lakehouse, the use of a stopgap block service, and both PowerScale file and PowerProtect being migrated to AWS. 8/22/2023 0 Comments Chrome mini messengerIndependently suspended, military-grade 18oz truck-tarpaulin liner.Weatherproof 1050d military-grade nylon outer shell.The classic messenger-style cross-chest strap for a stable, comfortable fit on or off your bike.Internal fasteners for securing Chrome laptop and tactical sleeves (sold separately).Industrial-strength hook and loop accessory shoulder mounting strap.Daisy-chain mounting loops for attaching carabineer clips or bike lights.Iconic quick-release buckle with integrated bottle opener.The outside is made with abrasion-resistant 1050 denier military-grade nylon.
