![]() Since they are most active at night, zebra sharks spend the daytime hours resting on the ocean floor and facing the ocean current so they can move water across their gills and continue breathing while remaining almost completely still. In the National Marine Sanctuary System, zebra sharks live near the National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa and Rose Atoll Marine National Monument. They have been observed at depths of about 180 feet and they often stay close to their home reefs. Zebra sharks are primarily found in the Indo-Pacific region of the global ocean and live along coral reefs where food is usually plentiful and conditions are just right. Their flexible bodies allow them to bend and fit into tight spaces where small fish might hide. With their small mouths and powerful gill muscles, zebra sharks easily vacuum up their prey in a single gulp. To find their prey, which are often on the seafloor or buried in the sand, they rely on their barbels to help them detect their target’s movements. Zebra sharks are nocturnal foragers that rely on small fish, snails, sea urchins, crabs, and other small invertebrates for their dietary needs. Their long tails resemble a knife blade but these sharks are quite docile and can even act skittish around divers. When they are born, they are covered in yellowish stripes that are eventually replaced with brown spots that resemble those of a leopard when they reach maturity. They have small barbels (whisker-like sensory organs near their snouts, a small mouth with small teeth that are regularly replaced, and tiny eyes. Zebra sharks are long and sleek, reaching lengths of nearly 12 feet when fully grown, with their tails making up nearly half of their body length. ![]() In some areas, these sharks are called leopard sharks due to their spots, which can be confusing because there is also another species of shark that lives in the Pacific North American Coast with this moniker. According to Kevin Feldheim, a co-author of a 2010 article in the Journal of Heredity on parthenogenesis in sharks, it might be a response to the absence of reproductive partners.Z is for zebra shark ( Stegostoma tigrinum), a long, sleek species of shark that is born with stripes that turn into spots as they age. Scientists don’t know for sure why sharks, snakes, and other creatures that normally need to mate to reproduce will sometimes just spontaneously get pregnant. Further tests, however, revealed that the pups’ lack of genetic diversity meant they were most likely the spawn of one parent, not two. And so when the zebra shark gave birth, scientists at the Queensland aquarium also wondered if stored sperm was to blame. In the snake’s case, her offspring couldn’t have been fertilized by sperm, because she had never been near a male. ( Read “World's Longest Snake Has Virgin Birth-First Recorded in Species.”) When a reticulated python had a “virgin birth” at the the Louisville Zoo in Kentucky, scientists were so surprised that they at first wondered if this was a case of stored sperm. Yet after three years of separation from a male, scientists were stunned to see some of her eggs hatch.Īlthough this switch from sexual reproduction to parthenogenesis-reproduction without fertilization-is a first for sharks, it has also been observed in a spotted eagle ray and a Colombian rainbow boa.Īsexual reproduction without prior sexual reproduction has also been observed in plenty of creatures that don’t normally do it that way. In her new tank, Leonie continued to lay eggs whether they were fertilized or not, just like chickens do. In 2012, she was moved into a separate tank at the aquarium with no male sharks. Leonie had previously given birth after mating with a male shark at the Reef HQ aquarium in Townsville, Queensland. ![]() ( Read “‘Virgin Birth’ Record Broken by Hotel Shark.”) This isn’t the first time that a zebra or leopard shark ( Stegostoma fasciatum) has had a “virgin birth,” but it is the first time that scientists have seen this behavior in a shark that wasn’t, ahem, a virgin. ( Read our earlier story about the birth.) ![]() ![]() Scientists in Australia published a paper on Tuesday about a female shark that performed a “virgin birth.” Although she hadn’t been around a male shark in three years, the captive zebra shark-named Leonie-laid eggs that hatched three viable pups. ![]()

But the paper reports that Lemonis in 2019 "sold an adjoining six-bedroom, 6,527-square-foot mansion on Lake Road for $1.74 million.

Though much of the show's drama and catchphrases became predictable and stale by the end of Season 2, Lemonis is a very smart businessperson with much to offer. It's been years (see below) since this page chronicled the episodes of "The Profit," the CNBC/Marcus Lemonis prime-time vehicle that still, as of 2020, airs new episodes, although viewers who happen to turn on the channel at night might be less likely to see new material and more likely to notice Lemonis and his producer opining on a rerun of an early episode - a clever way of recycling already paid-for material. ![]() ![]() ![]() If your ship is destroyed, it's lost to you other than any leftover salvage, but may be replaced by insurance as described above.

There will be 100 star systems at launch, each featuring planets, moons, and/or space stations, some of which will contain starports where players can land their ships, mingle at bars, shop for items, purchase repairs, and so on. Hull insurance is inexpensive and readily available, so this is a minor boon/convenience. Lifetime Insurance (LTI) is simply hull insurance that costs nothing. In lawless fringe space, no upgrade or cargo insurance coverage is available. Upgrade and cargo insurance are each purchased separately from hull insurance, are more expensive than hull insurance, become progressively more expensive if coverage in more dangerous areas of space is desired, and compensate the player for his ship's upgrades or cargo, respectively, in case his ship is destroyed. Hull insurance is universally available to all players, inexpensive, long-lasting, and offers replacement of a player's basic ship and its stock upgrades in case his ship is destroyed. There are three types of insurance: hull insurance, upgrade insurance, and cargo insurance. How does ship insurance work, and what is LTI? Note however that Chris Roberts has stated they'll ensure middle-of-the-road rigs can run the game fairly well at lower settings without looking terrible or running choppily.

Expect to need, at minimum, a high-end Sandy Bridge CPU (or equivalent), an Nvidia GTX 780 (or ATI equivalent), 8 GB of DDR3 RAM, a 64-bit OS, and DirectX 11 to play the game with relatively high visual fidelity and smooth performance. The exact requirements are unknown at this time, but Star Citizen will push the limits of high-end gaming rigs circa 2014. However, if you contact an original backer (myself, other Codexers ), they can purchase the same packages that you can more cheaply, and any included ships will have Lifetime Insurance (until November 26, 2013).

Much of the vehicle could be assembled from off-the-shelf automotive parts, and custom four-wheel drivetrain components were to be supplied by Spicer. Bantam's bid was submitted on July 22, complete with blueprints. Probst drafted the full plans in just two days for the Bantam prototype known as the BRC or Bantam Reconnaissance Car, working up a cost estimate the next day. After turning down Bantam's initial request, Probst responded to an Army request and began work on July 17, 1940, initially without salary. American Bantam had only a small staff with nobody to draft the vehicle plans, so chief engineer Harold Crist hired Karl Probst, a talented freelance designer from Detroit. Willys asked for more time, but was refused. The Army set a seemingly impossible deadline of 49 days to supply a working prototype. ![]() Only two companies responded: the American Bantam Car Company and Willys-Overland.

In lowercase, the term "jeep" continues to be used as a generic term for vehicles inspired by the Jeep that are suitable for use on rough terrain. Īt least two Jeep models (the CJ-5 and the SJ Wagoneer) enjoyed extraordinary three-decade production runs of a single body generation. With its solid axles and open top, the Wrangler has been called the Jeep model that is as central to the brand's identity as the 911 is to Porsche. Its replacement, the conceptually consistent Jeep Wrangler series, has remained in production since 1986. ![]() The Jeep marque has been headquartered in Toledo, Ohio, ever since Willys–Overland launched production of the first CJ or Civilian Jeep branded models there in 1945. Many Jeep variants serving similar military and civilian roles have since been designed in other nations. Doug Stewart noted: "The spartan, cramped, and unstintingly functional jeep became the ubiquitous World War II four-wheeled personification of Yankee ingenuity and cocky, can-do determination." It is the precursor of subsequent generations of military light utility vehicles such as the Humvee, and inspired the creation of civilian analogs such as the original Series I Land Rover. ![]() The term became common worldwide in the wake of the war. The Jeep became the primary light four-wheel-drive vehicle of the United States Armed Forces and the Allies during World War II, as well as the postwar period. Army slang for new recruits or vehicles, but the World War II "jeep" that went into production in 1941 specifically tied the name to this light military 4×4, arguably making them the oldest four-wheel drive mass-production vehicles now known as SUVs. Prior to 1940 the term "jeep" had been used as U.S. Christian Meunier is the current President of the Jeep brand worldwide. alone, over 2400 dealerships hold franchise rights to sell Jeep-branded vehicles, and if Jeep were spun off into a separate company, it is estimated to be worth between $22 and $33.5 billion-slightly more than all of FCA (US). Jeep sold 1.4 million SUVs globally in 2016, up from 500,000 in 2008, two-thirds of which in North America, and was Fiat-Chrysler's best selling brand in the U.S. Some of Jeep's vehicles-such as the Grand Cherokee-reach into the luxury SUV segment, a market segment the 1963 Wagoneer is considered to have started. Previously, Jeep's range included other pick-ups, as well as small vans, and a few roadsters. Jeep's current product range consists solely of sport utility vehicles-both crossovers and fully off-road worthy SUVs and models, including one pickup truck.

Generally speaking, tire developers at Continental have been placing particularly high value on continuously reducing rolling resistance for many years – because this creates additional range. If rolling resistance is reduced by 1 kg/t, the range of an electric vehicle is increased by around 3 to 4 percent. In the case of electric vehicles, better energy efficiency leads to longer ranges in the case of vehicles with internal combustion engines, it leads to lower fuel consumption and thus lower CO2 emissions. The general rule is that lower energy consumption is sustainable – regardless of the type of drive system.

After all, a tire’s rolling resistance and aerodynamics have an influence on the vehicle’s energy consumption. It therefore makes sense to always choose the tire whose properties are best suited to the specific requirements of the vehicle type and thus also those criteria that are particularly important for electric cars, such as range or interior noise.Īnyone who drives an electric car will have asked or been asked the question: how far can the car travel on a single battery charge?

I’m looking for value within the confines of the Cru system. What am I looking for when I buy Chablis? Some premier cru and grand cru wines are fermented in old oak to give exposure to oxygen rather than to obtain the flavors of the barrel. These wines tend to see limited use of oak. The Chablis region has produced wine for over one thousand years. The soils planted on slopes also drain water well preventing the vine’s exposure to mildew and limits the necessity of pesticide use. The vine needs very little nutrition to survive, and vines planted on fertile soils will grow too vigorously producing diluted fruit. It’s counter-intuitive but the best grapes for wine comes from vines that are planted on poor soils. The grand cru and premier cru plantings are found on slopes. The grape has less time to generate sugar. Continental climates tend to produce wines with high acidity because the harvest is bound by an early winter. Due to this distance from the ocean, there is a wide difference in temperature in its winter and summer. A continental climate has a limited maritime influence.

Allowing time to process who we are as human beings and what our education is doing to us is indeed a luxury, but a necessary one. To many, taking time to reflect is not something they have the luxury of doing, yet to me, it is one of the cornerstones of our classroom, of our community, of our learning journey. I always reflect along with my students, often pondering out loud what I need to change to reach my goal, so that my students can see just how essential reflection is to the adult learner as well. Sometimes we reflect out loud, as in when we discuss our reading habits, and other times it is done privately as we face hard truths about the choices that are holding us back. Some questions are tied in with an assignment, while other link to their human growth in order for the students to set their own goals and then reflect on how they are doing. I moved away from a focus on grades several years ago, and while I still have work within the confinement of a public school system that asks me to label students with a number, I have been able to decrease the importance of that number through self-reflection. Sometimes they come up for air only to realize that they do not like what the questions are making them understand, and other times they come up with a smile, eager to share how successful they feel. And yet, within in our quiet reflections is when I see my students take the largest leaps. As if the mere act of having students think to themselves is somehow a waste of time, after all, our classrooms are supposed to be bursting with life at all times. I always feel so guilty when my students are quietly reflecting.
