Startling NASA videos show carbon emissions - from space So, sadly, that buff coyote you saw, probably wasn’t part dire wolf after all.Don't let the Titanic-sub crisis stop tech from pushing the envelope That means their extinction left behind no hybridized offspring that could have passed on traces of dire wolf DNA to living canines. Martin may have resurrected the dire wolf in our imaginations, the new study also found that the extinct species couldn’t interbreed with gray wolves or coyotes they shared the North American plains with. “They will just join the club of things like maned wolves that are called wolves but aren’t really,” says Perri. Speaking with Scientific American, Perri admits that the new findings likely won’t cause the whole world to abandon the common name dire wolf. To reflect the dire wolf’s now lonely perch on its very own branch of the canine evolutionary tree, researchers propose giving it a new scientific name: Aenocyon dirus. “The study of ancient DNA and proteins from fossil bones is rapidly rewriting the ice age and more recent history of North America’s mammals.” “These results totally shake up the idea that dire wolves were just bigger cousins of gray wolves,” Yukon paleontologist Grant Zazula, who was not involved in the new study, tells Riley Black for Scientific American. In addition to not being part of the wolf’s evolutionary tribe, the dire wolf DNA also showed that the species’ lineage is separate from the other living branches of the canine evolutionary tree, including African jackals, coyotes and dogs. “Even though they look like wolves, dire wolves actually have nothing to do with wolves,” Angela Perri, a zooarchaeologist at Durham University and one of the study’s lead authors, tells Science. Though the bones of the dire wolf are so similar to today’s gray wolves that paleontologists sometimes have trouble telling them apart, the genes told an entirely different story when researchers compared them to those of living canine species. The team ultimately recovered around a quarter of the nuclear genome and a full complement of mitochondrial DNA from the samples, writes David Grimm for Science. To reveal the dire wolf’s true evolutionary identity, researchers extracted DNA from five fossils between 13,000 and 50,000 years old and sequenced their genomes. (More than 4,000 of the creatures have been pulled from the La Brea tar pits in Los Angeles alone, reports Angela Watercutter for Wired.) The startling result upends the notion that the dire wolf was a sister species to the gray wolf and adds precious evolutionary detail to a species that was once a common sight in North America. When researchers sequenced the extinct predator’s genome, they found it wasn’t a wolf at all but instead a distinct lineage that split off from the rest of the canines some 5.7 million years ago, reports James Gorman for the New York Times. Though the show exaggerates their size-they were only about 20 percent larger than today’s gray wolves-these prehistoric canines were very real and very deadly hunters that roamed North America until roughly 13,000 years ago.īut now, new research published this week in the journal Nature reveals that the real animal diverges from what you may have seen on TV in a more fundamental way. Dire wolves have lunged into the public imagination through their enormous and fearsome fictional representation in Game of Thrones.

I have several 20v Dewalt charger and several Dewalt batteries. If putting the battery on requires the same amount of force with the pin up, as it does if the pin is down? You probably have bent either the charger pins, or the receptacles in the battery. Not much more so than pushing a 3-prong plug into an outlet. The metal pins offer little to no resistance to make contact for charging. Lock lever is in position to pull up on as you insert the battery. Which causes many to think you have to press hard. The resistance is from trying to force the lock pin over the edge. If you look at the charger base, you will notice a notch in the center that lock pin lines up with. Whether you have that lock release lever depressed or not, you still have push the battery with the same amount of force” “That is why you do not need to press the release to remove the battery from the charger (again with the exception of their fan cooled chargers). Big Richard he never said you had to use the lock to release it, only put it on. Maybe they stopped doing things by hand and started using robots for the soldering? Who knows… It seems the faults are usually because of a soldering issue though. Makes me wonder, since these are often made in low wage factories if a competitor managed to hire workers, who are now being paid by DeWalt and by the competition to purposely do a lousy job. That said, this seems to be happening to DeWalt batteries by the ten/s of thousands each year since 2019 if not further back, I don’t have time to look at reviews further back then 2019 but on multiple sites, the 1 star reviews all say that the batteries either are dead out of the box, show lights but won’t charge, or the led Guage is broken, or they take a charge and never work again or they’re draining ridiculously fast. Meaning it doesn’t matter how well he seats it, it’s not gonna change because it’s already full… While there are easier ways to say that, like “My battery charges fine, but the LED indicator is always stuck on 1 bar.’ He literally said it shows one bar but won’t take a charge because the battery is already full. Except you couldn’t blame him even if you wanted to, because you misread what he wrote, silly rabbit! Since Translucent Beardies are social reptiles, they often are comfortable being handled. Are Translucent Bearded Dragons Friendly? Our Handling Advice It can take 50-100 days for the eggs to hatch. They can also be moved to an incubator to keep them safe. Once the eggs are laid, the female will care for them in a nest. It is recommended to match your female to a male of a similar size, so she is not hurt by the male.Ī male will breed with a female, who will then lay a clutch of eggs 4-6 weeks later. With a healthy, low stress environment, they are often willing to breed. As they age, this blue coloration on the abdomen fades.īeardies are not particularly difficult to breed and can start breeding as early as 8 months of age. This is due to the translucent scales covering their bodies. In baby Translucent Bearded Dragons, they often have blue-colored bellies. They have scales and spikes that appear to be translucent, which often leads to them having lighter coloration than many other Bearded Dragon color morphs. These Beardies are known for their dark eyes with no discernible iris and the blue eyelids that are common in many Translucent Beardies. It is important to be ready for the commitment before bringing home a Translucent Bearded Dragon. Their popularity as a starter pet often leads to improper care from well-meaning people. They do still require specific care, though. Translucent Bearded Dragons make extra special pets due to their unique characteristics.

They are social and can be a lot of fun to interact with. Translucent Bearded Dragons make great pets, especially for beginners to reptile keeping. Do Translucent Bearded Dragon Make Good Pets? Voigt is a vocally sumptuous although interpretively bland Helena, and Carl Tanner, if underpowered, brings more tonal allure to Menelaus’s impossible music than most tenors. For those who share the conductor’s enthusiasm, Telarc’s recording should make rewarding listening after the live-performance errors are patched up. There are gorgeous pages in this peculiar gloss on the postwar fate of Helen and Menelaus, but there are also long passages where the composer is clearly baffled by his librettist’s more esoteric flights of fancy, both in the original 1928 version (which Botstein prefers) and in the 1933 revision. This Strauss fan has been brooding over Die Ägyptische Helena for years but is still unconvinced, even by Botstein’s passionate advocacy (in my revisionist opinion, Strauss and Hofmannsthal reached their peak in Act One of Arabella). Then, too, Telarc was eager to record the opera with Voigt, now perhaps the leading Strauss soprano of the day, and here was one practical way to go about it. One is that Botstein is genuinely convinced that Die Ägyptische Helena is the misunderstood masterpiece of the Strauss-Hofmannsthal collaboration, and he plans to perform it until the rest of the world comes around. There are two possible explanations for this unexpected encore. Nothing if not persistent, Botstein and the ASO were back in Avery Fisher Hall recently, performing the same work, with Deborah Voigt once again singing the title role. It was nearly five years ago that leon Botstein led the American Symphony Orchestra in a concert performance of Richard Strauss’s Die Ägyptische Helena, the fifth and, according to conventional wisdom, the least of the composer’s six operatic collaborations with Hugo von Hofmannsthal. The Chicago Symphony has scarcely suffered under Barenboim’s leadership, and the sheer instrumental excellence of the playing was more than enough to start off Carnegie Hall’s new season on a high. I suppose anyone with many years of concertgoing might recall more stylish readings of these works (surely Ravel performances reached some kind of peak during Charles Munch’s reign over the Boston Symphony in the fifties), but I’m not inclined to complain. The CSO was also more or less on its own while Barenboim tended to the relatively modest yet omnipresent piano part of Falla’s Nights in the Gardens of Spain. Luckily, Barenboim allowed the music to speak for itself – he even stood mostly motionless, hands at his side, during the Boléro and let his virtuoso band develop this orchestrational tour de force. Such grandiose sophistry is hardly necessary, but this conductor has always had a way of making simple things seem complicated. Still, it seemed a bit much for conductor Daniel Barenboim to suggest that the four Ravel scores – Rapsodie Espagnole, Pavane Pour une Infante Défunte, Alborada del Gracioso, and Boléro – were consciously ordered to correspond to the traditional movements of a symphony. Nothing wrong with that – New York’s musical institutions have launched their new seasons with far less substantial fare, and the works heard on this occasion are popular for very good reasons. That gives you an idea of the easy-listening musical tone of the evening, an affair dominated by the Spanish-flavored works of Manuel de Falla and Maurice Ravel.

At some point I was even wondering how did they make it so smooth. Real map variety, great level design and absolutely tremendous enemy and awards placements. They really get even further in the second episode. Before that I mostly felt the game is very good, but didn't really capture the true presence in the stations. Actually the first moment, I felt that vibe of a superb shooting game, in both mechanics and level design, was towards the end of the first episode - the city map. It was not very obvious in the first part of the game - but it gradually got more and more impressive for me. It takes only a brutally direct and fast controls to be able to really capture that immediacy and party-like feeling so typical for quake 3 of the past decades (and rare to find elsewhere). But what those games so often missed on was focusing on the purest form of the shooting. Just after Borderlands 2 and easily before Doom 4.

There isn't too much of a story but I did find myself genuinely intrigued by things as the second and third acts unraveled before me. The game really has you switching between most of your arsenal throughout each of the levels, which keeps things exciting and varied. The weapons aren't the most exciting, but they are functional and feel nice. Though the low poly graphics are not the most amazing in the world, there are a few moments in various levels that made me pause because of the visuals.

The price of bitcoin topped 30,000 this week as investors grew bullish on the potential for spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds and other big names entering the digital currency space. "That means advisors need to rethink their notion of portfolio diversification and acknowledge that crypto - like it or not, understand it or not - belongs in a diversified portfolio on a long-term basis." Edelman is a former independent financial advisor. "We need to recognize that in order to have a truly diversified portfolio, we need to have exposure to every asset class," he added.
