![]() Unfortunately, by the time scientists realized the birds were genetically unique, both of the condors had died, so they weren’t able to study how SB260’s and SB517’s unusual parentage might have affected them. That’s when the oddity in SB260’s and SB517’s paternity showed up. ![]() A few years ago, they decided to analyze the DNA from all of them. The biologists ultimately accumulated samples of blood, eggshell membrane, feathers, and tissue from more than 900 condors over the course of the condor-management program. After captive-bred birds were released into the wild, the team even rappelled down cliff faces to study the parentage of their chicks. It helped them minimize inbreeding and develop a test for chondrodystrophy, an inherited bone disorder common in condors. In the case of the condors, Ryder and his colleagues had used DNA markers to help manage the breeding program for years. Read: The mystery of the ‘immaculately conceived’ baby anteater Many of these discoveries were accidental, and all of these accidents have scientists wondering if parthenogenesis is not as rare as once thought. It’s also been documented in snakes, lizards, sharks, rays, and bony fish- both in captivity and more recently in the wild. ![]() As I said, not much sexual privacy when you’re a California condor.) Parthenogenesis has been studied in other birds, like turkeys and chickens. The phenomenon is known as parthenogenesis or, colloquially, “virgin birth.” (The two mothers in this case weren’t technically virgins they had previously produced normal chicks with the male they were housed with. The only possible explanation was a strange one: The eggs that produced these two condors must have essentially fertilized themselves without any sperm. “We were confronted with this inexplicable data set,” says Oliver Ryder, a conservation geneticist at the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance. A full 100 percent of their DNA had come from their respective mothers. These two birds-known by their studbook numbers as SB260 and SB517-were not related to the fathers recorded in the studbook. So it was quite a shock when, a few years ago, scientists conducting DNA tests as part of routine research found two condors with unexpected paternity. All of this is logged in the official California-condor “ studbook.” They kept track of who mated with whom, how many offspring they had, and when those offspring were released into the wild. Since 1983, when the number of California condors in existence was a mere 22, biologists have been carefully breeding the birds in captivity. When you get to be as endangered as the California condor, your sex life becomes a highly public affair.

![]() It seems like developer Lince Works is aware of these issues as they've issued two sizable patches since I've been playing the game, but it's going to take a lot of work to fix the borderline broken AI. I was supposed to feel like an incredibly powerful shadow assassin facing off against these powerful warriors of light, and instead I was facing off against rejects from 'The Three Stooges.' Some were harmless enough, I had a foe walk in place that wouldn't spot me even if I was standing right in front of him, but they still took me completely out of the game. I ran into a few AI issues in the early chapters, but by the time I was mid-game and facing off against dozens of soldiers, I began to experience these bugs pretty often. These small grievances build up, and losing 20 minutes of progress because of an in-game bug that broke the guards' patrol routes is heartbreaking. Sadly, these moments never seem to last in 'Aragami.' Every fantastic stretch of gameplay eventually ended with me lost as to where to go (with the on-screen guide simply telling me to "move to the next area" as if that was helpful advice) or running into a scripting error where the AI would start rapidly turning around indefinitely. ![]() It's all a matter of risk-reward, and it can be absolutely thrilling. I eventually became confident enough in my abilities that I was leaving bodies out in the open to lure other guards, and then taking care of them before they could call for back-up. It's these wonderful moments when every mechanic in the game clicks, and the action moves along like clockwork, where I felt like I was playing the next great stealth game. This led to me creating extravagant plans of how I was going to tackle an area, attempting to pull them off, and then managing to barely succeed after undoubtedly getting spotted along the way. This really opened up the gameplay, and getting to experiment with how to deal with the guards and archers that I faced off against made every encounter all the more interesting. I even gained access to a raven that would mark key locations, and in theory tell me where to go. After the first three chapters I finally had more tools at my disposal, and I really started to enjoy 'Aragami.'Įventually, I was able to throw kunai at far away enemies, mark foes as if I was playing 'Far Cry,' and even make bodies vanish by using some dark magic. ![]() Thankfully, the game ramps up in complexity, as more mechanics are added as the grandiloquent story progresses. While it all worked, I was pretty bored by the opening stage as it seemed like the game was just a pretty stealth title with nothing else to offer other than a staunch difficulty and the shadow teleportation. Things start off pretty simple beyond the shadow shifting, as the titular character only has a sword that he can use to take out dangerous enemies (ones that will end his day with a single hit). So many stealth games feel slow, so it's highly satisfying to be incredibly mobile. I was able to leap from one shadow area to the next, and was even able to cast my own shadows in order to have a freer range of movement. While these performance issues would get better upon leaving the starting area, they always managed to pop-up occasionally while playing.ĭespite the less than stellar technical performance, 'Aragami' began to impress me once it started to explain its in-game mechanics. Immediately upon starting the stealth title, I was greeted by a terrible frame rate that seemed to freeze before every cutscene. ![]() My first impression of 'Aragami' was a negative one. ![]() If you find yourself feeling any degree of strain in your left hand as you're fretting notes, you should rethink it and try and find a position that feels comfortable for you. For the most part, your left hand should be relaxed and comfortable. ![]() Before that I'll just want to talk a little bit about the position of your left hand. I'm going to explain that to you in a second. Were going to start off with what's called the chromatic scale. So this lesson we going to get in to scales. They will have the foundational knowledge necessary to pursue most intermediate guitar courses. ![]() Students will also learn to develop correct technique and apply theory concepts to their playing. Electric guitar players will learn the operation of their instrument along with basic options for amplification, effect pedals, and sounds. It then explores the basics of music theory with such topics as scales, triads, power chords, and fingering and shapes.Īt the end of this course, students will understand the structure, parts, and accessories of the instrument, in addition to an understanding of its basic maintenance. The course begins simply with the parts of the guitar, the names of the strings, tuning, and technique-whether finger-style or pick. When first learning guitar, it is important to have the material presented in stages, in an enjoyable way that allows you to grasp the basics of the instrument and music. You'll learn an easy approach to get you playing quickly, through a combination of exploring the instrument, performance technique, and basic music theory.įor students who have long thought about picking up the acoustic or electric guitar, this course will provide an easy-access foundation that will get you playing. continue till you reach Ab on 4th fret of 1st string.Grasp the essentials needed to begin playing acoustic or electric guitar. Start playing it from the 6th string open, then F on the 6th string etc… After Ab on 4th fret of 6th string, play A, 5th string open and continue playing the notes on the 5th string. Here are the notes on each string for the first 4 frets, found by starting with the open note, and counting each fret according the sequence of notes. E chromatic scale would be E F F# G G# ……D D# E The sequence of notes when played as a scale gives us the chromatic scale. Then use the sequence of notes, and find the next notes for each fret. The standard tuning gives you the starting points on each string – what are the notes sounded when each string is played without pressing on any fret. So on the first string of the guitar, after the open string E note, the first fret should be the F note. To find the first fret note on first string, just look at the sequence of notes. The thinnest string (first string) open sounds a E note. The open note on each string is given, or defined in a standard tuning. The fret just before A has the note Ab (A flat) or G# (G sharp). This means if you are playing an A note, the immediate next fret is the note A# (or Bb). The 12th frets are an octave above the open (unfretted) notes. Therefore, A# and Bb and other # and flat combinations which point to the same note, are called enharmonic. A A# B C C# D D# E F F# G G# (using sharp)Ī Bb B C Db D Eb E F Gb G Ab (using flat)Ī# and Bb are the same note, C# and Db are the same note, D# and Eb are the same note on the fret board etc… Using sharp on the note before and using flat on the note after, we are pointing to the same note, frequency wise. ![]() Some might remember our other past locations in River Oaks on West Gray, which closed when that part of the historic River Oaks Shopping Center was torn down, and in Sugarland, which closed with the long drawn out construction on the 59 freeway.Īround the year 2000, Bobby, Sigmund’s eldest and 5th generation baker, took over the bakery and in 2005, his wife, Janice, joined him. In 1963, they took another big step and hired their first employee and bought a mixer – finally!īobby has fond memories of spending time in the bakery as a boy. It took time, but Three Brothers Bakery hung in there and eventually became a Houston institution, making eastern European-style breads and pastries, cookies, cupcakes, wedding cakes, birthday cakes, pies and specialty themed cakes.įor thirteen years since opening on Holman Street, the three Jucker brothers had run the bakery among themselves. Today, Braeswood is a major street, but in 1960, the bakery was at the end of the road and rumored to have cows living nearby. The great parking made them successful enough to move again to South Braeswood in May, 1960, since the Jewish community seemed to be moving to the Braeswood/Meyerland area. They survived on Holman with one parking place for five years and in May 1955, they moved the bakery to Almeda Street at Southmore – right next to Leff Brothers. Our famous gingerbread recipe from the Old Country was modified in America in 1960, and we still use the same recipe today. The three brothers were the first to bring the bagel to Houston. Many of Three Brothers Bakery baked goods still use the original Eastern European recipes, including rye bread, challah, danish, cheese pockets, Kaiser rolls, biales, traditional bagels, and onion boards, to name a few. In Poland, no one ate very sweet foods, so the brothers learned to make American cakes and pastries. He also still meets with Sigmund and their friend Joe on some Mondays at our Washington Ave shop. Since reopening after Hurricane Ike, Clyde has been our Official First Customer at all our openings. The very first and still special customer was Clyde Cannon who stopped in on his way to school at San Jacinto High. For a very long time, the Jucker brothers kept with their European roots and made everything by hand. They bought the bakery from the Meschkat family. Four years to the day, on May 8th, 1949, Sigmund, his twin brother, Sol, and younger brother Max opened Three Brothers Bakery on Holman Street at La Branch in Houston, Texas, across from Beth Israel Synagogue. Sigmund, Sol, Max, and their older sister all survived. Hence they struggled with their one parking place. That first day taught them a very valuable lesson: in Houston, if you don’t have good parking, you will struggle. ![]() On opening day, the coffee cake that we sell to this day was $0.55. Sigmund recalls their first day was not as successful as they had hoped. Since they still didn’t have mixers, everything was handmade, just as it was in Europe. They bought an existing bakery from the Meschkat family. On May 8, 1949, Sigmund, his twin brother, Sol, and younger brother Max, opened Three Brothers Bakery on Holman Street in Houston, Texas. He was fortunate enough to have survived with his two brothers and their older sister. Sigmund was the first to take a breath of freedom outside the gate. Sigmund found wire cutters and actually cut the wires on the gate, giving him and the other prisoners freedom. The SS fled in such a hurry and luckily had not even turned on the electrified fences. On this day, Liberation Day, he arose to find no SS officers watching or even in the camp. On May 8, 1945, Sigmund arose early, so he could awaken everyone in the camp, which was one of his jobs. The European Era of our family bakery ended when Sigmund and Sol were 19 years old and the family was sent to concentration camps in 1941. Two of Morris’ children, Sigmund and Sol, went to work at the bakery at only ten years old due to a bakers’ strike in 1932. The dough was placed in a trough and everything was mixed by hand. Since there were no mixers at the time, everything was truly handmade. We relate our story to you as told to us by Sigmund Jucker, one of the original three brothers. We believe the bakery opened around 1825 and was last known as Morris Jucker’s Bakery. The bakery’s story began in Chrzanow, Poland, in a building in which Napoleon had spent the night. ![]() ![]() 30 built-in effects: Reverb, EQ, filters, pitch & frequency shifter, delays, modulation effects, compressor, gate, bit crusher, wave shaper and more.Configurable VST, VST3 or Audio Unit plug-ins rack: host up to 64 third party plug-ins or instruments in series or parallel.Blue Cats PatchWork Features Main Features: Input and output level meters are also available to monitor the signal that is dispatched to inserted plug-ins, including side chain and aux channels.

We are also, ipso facto, the weapon-bearing mammal. We homo sapiens are the tool-bearing mammal. In the big picture, the firearm is a tool. These men had been killed, but not stopped. Every combat soldier who fought in heavy battle can tell you stories of enemy soldiers who, wounded unto death, still took one or more Americans with them. Many an American soldier who was mortally wounded went on to kill so many of the enemy before he ran out of blood and died that the majority of those on the sacred list who won the Congressional Medal of Honor won it posthumously. When you get into it deep enough, you realize that the righteous combatant does not shoot to kill, he shoots to stop. Therefore, the job of the bullet he launches is instant incapacitation. However, that young man desperately wants the other young man not to kill him or one of his comrades. No young man fighting for his country wants, when he thinks about it, to end the life of another young man fighting for his country. Note that damage is greatest early in the path, before resistance has slowed the bullet and reduced its energy.Īt this point, both the semantics and the ethics of the matter start to become complicated. However, the soldier who is bad breath distance away from an Al-Qaeda fanatic with an AK47 doesn’t just want his opposite number wounded, he wants him instantly out of the fight at the moment the bullet hits him.īullet has lodged in the translucent gelatin, leaving a “wound path” clearly visible behind it. I am sure that this makes good sense to the generals behind the lines, and the bean counters behind them. A wounded soldier means at least three less of the enemy: one down, and two more to carry him off the field of battle. In warfare, the bullet that wounds an enemy soldier becomes a greater “force multiplier” than the one that kills him. The reason is that it tends to result in slow death and is not humane. Ironically, in the name of human decency, virtually every state in the union forbids the use of such ammunition against deer, bear, or other big game. Essentially, they call for full metal jacket projectiles that just punch neat, clean holes through the bodies of enemy soldiers. The Geneva Conventions and Hague Accords require that the bullets used not be designed to expand. Interestingly, the Judge Advocate General’s office has already determined that these restrictions apply to declared wars between recognized nation-states, not things like the current “war on terrorism,” but that’s another story. The military is bound by the codes of international warfare, going back to the Geneva Conventions and the Hague Accords, all of which predated napalm, chemical warfare, and the concept of thermonuclear war. Paul Nowak of Winchester (left, with Springfield Armory pistol) fires over a chronograph (on tripod) which measures the bullet’s velocity, and into the block of ballistic gelatin set on steel holder at right.
