![]() See also: List of perissodactyls RhinocerotidaeĬladogram following a phylogenetic study. A market also exists for rhino horn dagger handles in Yemen, which was the major source of demand for rhino horn in the 1970s and 1980s. Rhino horns are made of keratin, the same material as hair and fingernails, and there is no good evidence of any health benefits. The contemporary market for rhino horn is overwhelmingly driven by China and Vietnam, where it is bought by wealthy consumers to use in traditional Chinese medicine, among other uses. Rhinoceroses are killed by poachers for their horns, which are bought and sold on the black market for high prices, leading to most living rhinoceros species being considered endangered. Unlike other perissodactyls, the two African species of rhinoceros lack teeth at the front of their mouths they rely instead on their lips to pluck food. They generally eat leafy material, although their ability to ferment food in their hindgut allows them to subsist on more fibrous plant matter when necessary. They have a herbivorous diet, small brains 400–600 g (14–21 oz) for mammals of their size, one or two horns, and a thick 1.5–5 cm (0.59–1.97 in), protective skin formed from layers of collagen positioned in a lattice structure. Rhinoceroses are some of the largest remaining megafauna: all weigh at least one tonne in adulthood. Two of the extant species are native to Africa, and three to South and Southeast Asia. The national park the population currently thrives in is a protected area, and hunting rhinos is illegal.A rhinoceros ( / r aɪ ˈ n ɒ s ər ə s/ from Ancient Greek ῥῑνόκερως ( rhīnókerōs) 'nose-horned' from ῥῑ́ς ( rhī́s) 'nose', and κέρας ( kéras) 'horn' pl.: rhinoceros or rhinoceroses), commonly abbreviated to rhino, is a member of any of the five extant species (or numerous extinct species) of odd-toed ungulates in the family Rhinocerotidae it can also refer to a member of any of the extinct species of the superfamily Rhinocerotoidea. The species has been poached to near extinction for centuries for their horns, which are used in eastern medicine. These rhinos are one of the rarest mammals on earth, with an estimated population of 68 individuals remaining in the wild. Why are Javan rhinoceros endangered and what is being done to protect them The IUCN lists the Javan rhinoceros under their ‘Critically Endangered’ category. The massive herbivores do not have any natural predators in the wild. Despite their size and mass, the strong legs can help them run at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour (42 kilometers per hour).Since they lack good eyesight, their sense of smell and hearing are exceptional.They have a prehensile upper lip that aids in browsing.The armor-like skin ensures that they do not have any natural predators.They use their horns to enlarge pre-existing mud pits.There are limited studies on the sounds made by Javan rhinos, but it is thought that they are much quieter than their nearby cousins, the Indian and Sumatran Rhinoceroses. These rhinos live for around 30-45 years. Female Javan rhinoceroses reach sexual maturity after 5-7 years of age, while males take longer, around 10 years. It stays with its mother and is eventually weaned after a year or two. The offspring becomes mobile shortly after birth.

![]() There is no truth to the theories that suggest eating foods in any particular combination will promote weight loss. Starvation and/or diets that offer a quick fix usually backfire and are harmful. If you need to lose weight, do it sensibly.If you don’t like milk, try to include ample amounts of low-fat yogurt, low-fat cheese and green leafy vegetables in your diet. People in their early twenties need to be building up stores of calcium in their bodies to prevent osteoporosis later in life. If you have a refrigerator, consider raw vegetables with low-fat yogurt or cottage cheese dip. Possibilities include fresh or dried fruit, pretzels, unbuttered popcorn, rice cakes or whole wheat crackers. This way, if hunger strikes during a late night study session, you won’t be tempted by vending machine candy, chips or ice cream. Limit high fat offerings like French fries, fried chicken or fish sandwiches. Choose pizza with half the cheese, a regular size roast beef sandwich, baked potato or green salad with reduced calorie dressing. If you must eat fast foods, choose wisely.Most of these items can be easily stored in your residence hall room. ![]() When there isn’t time to sit down and enjoy your morning meal, grab a bagel, piece of fruit and some juice. Studies show that skipping breakfast detracts from scholastic achievement. It really isn’t that hard to get started. But eating a healthy diet can help you feel better, cope with stress and perform better in the classroom and on the athletic field. You may find it difficult to avoid bad habits like skipping meals or frequently visiting fast food restaurants. The average college student is often pressed for time, under a lot of stress and eating on the go. They try to explain to Chellick that they have important information for the Council, but he ignores them and warns them to leave the station in the next day. The transport's crew discover the stowaways, but the captain decides to turn them over to C-Sec instead of killing them. Unable to return to their ship, Tali and Keenah stow away on a transport ship bound for the Citadel, where they hope to give the geth recording to the Citadel Council. When the Honorata finally lands, Tali and the crew immediately come under fire, and the Honorata's other crew member is killed. This gives Jacobus enough time to land on Illium first and plan an ambush. Once there, Illium's docking officials, prejudiced against quarians, refuse to allow the Honorata to land for several hours. They flee to the Honorata and set a course for Illium. At that moment, the turian mercenary Jacobus and his team, on the planet under Saren Arterius' orders to find Prothean technology, attack them. Fearing that the rest of the galaxy may be in danger, Tali convinces Keenah that they should turn over the recording to the local authorities on Illium. ![]() Tali and Keenah land to investigate, and manage to disable a geth unit and successfully extract its memory core, which contains a recording of two individuals discussing an attack on the human colony of Eden Prime and the coming of the Reapers. She plans to begin her Pilgrimage at Illium, but en route through the Crescent Nebula, the Honorata detects a geth presence on an unidentified ice world. Sadly, this only really benefits someone like me who bought it all already anyone else would still have to buy all of the DLC if they never owned it.Tali sets off on her Pilgrimage aboard the vessel Honorata, crewed by Keenah'Breizh. It's actually a lot easier than I thought. Surprisingly, it even knows that bought pretty much all of it already and I can just download it through Origin instead of through that weird Bioware site. Once I added the game, I could then see the full list of DLC to download or purchase. ![]() For whatever reason, you cannot see the DLC for ME2 unless you already have the game in your library, which is why I assumed it wasn't available. I hadn't ever tied my copy of ME2 (a physical disc) to Origin. ![]() I just investigated this and it seems that you're right. Still, can't blame you for being put off by Mass Effect's DLC thing, which is why I've only played Mass Effect 1, granted for more than six times across 360, PS3 and PC. The process that Wemibelle was describing was for getting the DLC for the Steam version of Mass Effect 2, which is totally new to me and looks like a pain in the ass. You'll still have to do the real money to BioWare points conversion thing like in the ye old days of Microsoft points, and you'll still have to spend around $50 for the essential story DLCs for ME2 and 3 if my math is correct, but at least you won't have to jump though as many hoops for getting the DLC that way. Don't know if this will help either way, but if you get the trilogy on Origin (GameStop is currently selling keys for $15 plus tax), you can buy the story DLC for Mass Effects 2 and 3 through the Origin client so you can easily see the story DLCs and ignore the gun and appearance packs. ĭon’t have a practice exam? There are several ways you can “test” yourself and gain the same benefits. ![]() Besides revealing gaps in knowledge and reducing exam anxiety, being tested makes us retrieve information from memory-a powerful, study-backed way of holding onto information we’ve learned. Tests and practice tests have been long seen as useful tools to help students learn and retain information. If you have a group study session, set a goal the group will work towards and take periodic breaks as you would studying by yourself. ![]() Even explaining difficult concepts to others can help with comprehension and retention. Group members can help one another work through difficult problems, provide encouragement, hold each other accountable to studying goals, provide different perspectives, and make studying more enjoyable. There are several benefits to forming a study group. Bigger rewards for a long day of studying or getting done with an exam can include getting your favorite meal, spending some time relaxing with friends, or making time for your favorite activity. Small rewards can be a candy bar, a hot drink from your favorite coffee shop, a quick game of your choice, or a short episode of a TV show. Telling yourself you’ll get a small reward if you finish the section you wanted to get through, or perhaps a larger reward if you have a productive day of studying, can be good motivation to get to your goal. Rewarding yourself with treats-“bribing” yourself-has been linked to better self-control, and can be helpful in forming good habits. Keep taking well-spaced breaks, and schedule another study session. For example, you might aim to study for two hours, or review three chapters of your textbook-or both.ĭon’t be too harsh on yourself if you didn’t get through as much as you had planned sometimes studying can take longer than expected. These can be time-based or content-based. Set study goals for each session of studying you have. Make sure you each are on the same page about studying and keeping one another distraction-free, at least until it’s time to take a break. Study with a friend: Sometimes studying with a friend or two, whether or not you’re working on the same material, can help keep you accountable and focused. You might also try a focus app, like Forest or Focus To-Do, that can block distracting apps and set timers for study sessions. Turning off your notifications, keeping your phone out of sight in your bag, or giving it to a friend to keep you from checking it too often can help you stay focused. This can keep you from inadvertently wandering into the distracting parts of the internet.īe mindful of your phone: It’s no secret that our smartphones can be hugely distracting.

If you are not sure how this might affect your home loan, or whether you are required to make a higher down payment, ask a participating lender to clarify what is expected with these kinds of transactions.

A lease or other written evidence to verify occupancy is required.” “The 85 percent LTV restriction may be exceeded if the current tenant purchases the Property where the tenant has rented the Property for at least six months immediately predating the sales contract. A lease or other written evidence to verify occupancy is required.”īut what about situations where the seller is not a family member? Are there exceptions for the identity of interest rules in such cases? Yes, under limited circumstances: There are exceptions, and you should definitely know what these exceptions are going into your home loan application.įor example, the 85% LTV is waived for transactions where the borrower is purchasing “the Principal Residence of another Family Member…or a Property owned by another Family Member in which the Borrower has been a tenant for at least six months immediately predating the sales contract. The maximum LTV percentage for a transaction where a tenant-landlord relationship exists at the time of contract execution is restricted to 85 percent.” “The maximum LTV percentage for Identity-of-Interest transactions on Principal Residences is restricted to 85 percent. Such transactions are not forbidden by FHA loan rules, but do require a higher down payment under the right circumstances. The word “interest” in this case refers to the interest the seller has in selling the home to the buyer based on a tenant/landlord relationship, business relationship, or similar associations. The FHA loan handbook, HUD 4000.1, describes identity of interest transactions as a real estate sale between two parties “with an existing Business Relationship” or between family members. What is the meaning of “identity of interest?” ![]() That is not the only issue addressed under the rules for identity of interest–those with family ties buying or selling to one another may also need to have an understanding of the rules in this area. What does it mean to have an “identity of interest” when applying for an FHA home loan? This can be an issue if the borrower has been renting the property to be purchased with an FHA mortgage from the seller prior to the home loan application. FHA Mortgage Loan Issues: “Identity Of Interest” Each manufacturer has a unique system for using this field. This is used, according to local regulations, to identify the vehicle type, and may include information on the automobile platform used, the model, and the body style. The fourth to ninth positions in the VIN are the vehicle descriptor section or VDS. For example, 8X–82 denotes the range 8X, 8Y, 8Z, 81, 82, excluding 80. In the notation below, assume that letters precede numbers and that zero is the last number. In practice, each is assigned to a country of manufacture, although in Europe the country where the continental headquarters is located can assign the WMI to all vehicles produced in that region (Example: Opel/Vauxhall cars whether produced in Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom or Poland carry a WMI of W0L because Adam Opel AG is based in Rüsselsheim, Germany). The first character of the WMI is typically the region in which the manufacturer is located although there are exceptions e.g. The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) in the US assigns WMIs to countries and manufacturers. For example, within 1G (assigned to General Motors in the United States), 1G1 represents Chevrolet passenger cars 1G2, Pontiac passenger cars and 1GC, Chevrolet trucks. Some manufacturers use the third character as a code for a vehicle category (e.g., bus or truck), a division within a manufacturer, or both. A manufacturer who builds fewer than 1,000 vehicles per year uses a 9 as the third digit, and the 12th, 13th and 14th position of the VIN for a second part of the identification. ![]() The first three characters uniquely identify the manufacturer of the vehicle using the world manufacturer identifier or WMI code. VIN in a GM-T-Platform body next to a passenger seat World manufacturer identifier Indication that provides " clear identification of a particular vehicle" Indication of " the general characteristics of the vehicle" ![]() The VIN comprises the following sections: Compatible but different implementations of these ISO standards have been adopted by the European Union and the United States. Modern VINs are based on two related standards, originally issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in 19: ISO 3779 and ISO 3780, respectively. ADR 61/2 used in Australia, referring to ISO 37.SAE J853: Very similar to the ISO standard.ISO 3779: Used in Europe and many other parts of the world.FMVSS 115, Part 565: Used in United States and Canada.There are at least four competing standards used to calculate the VIN. In the European vehicles, it can be found e.g. The VIN control digit is also used, although not in all brand-models. For example, Volkswagen started to encode bigger chunks of information during 1995–1997, and the control digit during 2009–2015 for selected models from the group. However, the sets of information contained in it were introduced gradually. The ISO introduced recommendations for applying the VIN standard and its structure, and the bodywork number was also used in Europe. ![]() It required all on-road vehicles sold to contain a 17-character VIN, which does not include the letters O (o), I (i), and Q (q) (to avoid confusion with numerals 0, 1, and 9).Īfter the introduction of the ISO norm, the manufacturers which produced vehicles for the American market very quickly adjusted to this standard. In 1981, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the United States standardized the format. From 1954 to 1981, there was no accepted standard for these numbers, so different manufacturers used different formats. VINs were first used in 1954 in the United States. There are vehicle history services in several countries that help potential car owners use VINs to find vehicles that are defective or have been written off. VIN on a Chinese moped VIN on a 1996 Porsche 993 GT2 VIN visible in the windshield VIN recorded on a Chinese vehicle licenceĪ vehicle identification number (VIN) (also called a chassis number or frame number) is a unique code, including a serial number, used by the automotive industry to identify individual motor vehicles, towed vehicles, motorcycles, scooters and mopeds, as defined by the International Organization for Standardization in ISO 3779 (content and structure) and ISO 4030 (location and attachment). ![]() ![]() Without it, I certainly would not have spent the last year of my life working on this software. So, thank you for your continued support. I love that I get to make something that people actually use. have to happen.Īnd then of course the cycle starts all over again. That's also the phase in which translations, website updates, marketing etc. Once beaTunes is feature complete (that's where we are right now), there comes the phase when I hope that many people try the EA version (please do!!), so that both little kinks and gigantic bugs are discovered before the final release. Discovering these issues and fixing them is a huge part of my daily routine. It's pretty neat that it introduced better support for classical music tags, but for some reason Apple chose to change the meaning of existing ID3 tags and introduce others that nobody else is using. Those produce a lot of work, because they break things. That's when I burn the most for my work.Ībove I mentioned outside factors. So after all the tedious nitty-gritty work is done, I get to spend a little bit of time getting my hands real dirty. But finding new ways to improve detection accuracy is among the best parts of the job. Of course creating a neat UI, solving scalability issues, and working with lots of open source libraries is fun, too. Like creating a new key or tempo detection algorithm. ![]() One thing that's probably most fun about beaTunes, is that every now and then I get to do some real research. Some survive, many don't.įeatures I want, are often of a different breed. So deciding which user features to implement is a process of elimination. Every additional feature clutters the UI and makes beaTunes harder to play with. As it is, beaTunes is already a fairly complex software. But even very reasonable wishes need to have many potential users. Obviously, it does not make sense to implement those very specific wishes in beaTunes itself-that's what beaTlets are for. And sometimes they are very specific and only interesting for a small audience. Sometimes they solve problems for many people and provide me with valuable insights into what people really need. I typically aim for a good mixture of what users want, what I want, and what simply needs to happen, because the world didn't stop spinning. Assuming you already have a product, you need to figure out what your next version needs. Let me digress and talk a little about what goes into creating a software like beaTunes as a one-man-show. Something I want to enjoy crafting-and hopefully people enjoy using. But I'm glad that I'm able to say: Writing beaTunes is not something that's primarily concerned with deadlines. Like in any good software project, this should have happened earlier. I'm very happy to write that today I can finally release the first Early Access (EA) version for beaTunes 5. ![]() However, it contains some extra features which would be AMAZING if they would develop them just a bit further so they could be put to more practical and more productive use.
