![]() Overall, the rapidly developing field of molecular biology has much to offer the wildlife biology discipline, thus I focus my R&D on turning population genetics theory and human medicine-based genomic technology into tools readily available for conservation. One recent technological advance that has improved wildlife managers' ability to make inferences regarding wildlife populations comes from the field of molecular biology. It is not uncommon for a management activity to be halted because of the lack of information regarding a sensitive, threatened, or endangered species. The vast majority of legal actions constraining natural resource agencies involve wildlife. In general, my research has been centered on the following topic areas listed under “Research Interests” Research Interest When not working on solutions to management puzzles, I aim to conduct research that tries to understand how ecological and evolutionary forces interact to influence species distribution, and how these patterns interact with each other to influence local biodiversity. ![]() ![]() I have tried to combine my molecular ecology work, which often takes place in the laboratory, with a strong field component, as I believe that we derive the best scientific understandings of species and ecosystems through the amalgamation of field and laboratory methods. My research has been focused on the fields of population, conservation, and landscape genetics/genomic, with an emphasis on research that provides practical answers to natural resource problems.

![]() The answer will also help you to narrow down the list of possible crossbows you will consider purchasing at the price point your budget allows.įigure out what crossbow features are most important to you. If you prefer to buy crossbows that are only built in America, some quick internet research will help you to answer this question. Some people find it important to determine whether the crossbow they will buy is made by a company that is based in North America or overseas. The more you can spend, the fewer choices you have, but the technological advancement and performance of these crossbows will truly be “top-of-the-line.”ĭo some research to find out where different crossbow brands are made.Ĭhances are good, if you fall on the side of not having much to spend on a new hunting crossbow, most of your options will not be made in the United States or Canada, but not all. Hunting crossbow package prices start at around $399.99, and, if you aren’t limited in your budget, can exceed $3,999.99 these days! Ironically, the less you can spend, the more hunting crossbow choices you have in the marketplace. ![]() With so many different models available, how are you supposed to choose which one is the best hunting crossbow for you? Here are four tips to help you find the best crossbow for your budget and for your hunting needs.įigure out how much you can realistically spend.īecause there are so many crossbow models on the market, figuring out how much you can spend should be the first step in narrowing down your options. Fast forward to today, and there are over 30 companies now manufacturing hunting crossbows. As more and more states have legalized the use of crossbows for hunting, the crossbow market has continued to grow at a staggering pace, with new players entering almost every year. ![]() Just a few years ago, you could count the number of crossbow manufacturers on two hands. Standout dining experiences include Middle East and North Indian-themed Arabesque (currently private and upon request in the Mystique Garden until its permanent Fari Marina Village location is complete), sushi and teppanyaki at Iwau, and Eau Bar specifically for the melt-in-mouth seared wagyu beef nigiri. Alongside La Locanda is Summer Pavilion, the offshoot of the Singapore-based Michelin-starred Cantonese restaurant, whose food might need more time to match the brilliance of the original. Gourmands wanting to learn and taste local cuisine will love the Maldivian cooking classes which are held here. ![]() La Locanda is the main hub for buffet and à la carte breakfast service (the buffet pastries are phenomenal here) and becomes a den for southern Italian dishes for later mealtimes. Subtle touches of island life-gold coral-shaped table mats, rattan headboards-lend sense of place to the decidedly contemporary interiors.įood and drink Restaurants and bars are divided between three zones: Culinary Island, Grand Sunset Beach, and a satellite base at the Fari Marina Village, a 10-minute boat ride from the main resort. The best features in the one-bedroom villas are the panoramic, floor-to-ceiling windows which can disappear entirely for an indoor-outdoor living experience, letting the tumbling lagoon water become the soundtrack to one’s bathtub soak or restful night’s sleep. All though, feature a generous pool, indoor and outdoor showers, a travertine bathtub (inside the bedroom), and a minibar stocked with artisanal treats and high-end beverages. Only the one-bedroom villas have the atypical circular design, while the two-bedroom villas and the massive three-bedroom Ritz-Carlton Estate are straight-edged. ![]() The rooms There are 100 beachfront and overwater villas, and all have fantastic ocean views. A 98-foot-tall banyan tree stands in the resort’s Mystique Garden in Mr. The most striking feature lies in the resort's extreme end, where a collection of overwater villas surround a halo-shaped spa, with both structure types designed to mimic the circular flow of ocean currents. The result is arguably The Ritz-Carlton’s boldest and most future-forward hotel project yet: 100 contemporary, round-shaped villas each with a sparkling infinity pool and without a thatched roof in sight. ![]() For years, he and his team could not find a hospitality brand willing to take on a groundbreaking Maldives resort design vision until the Ritz-Carlton signed on. ![]() The backstory The Ritz-Carlton Maldives opening is bittersweet for followers of Kerry Hill, the late, venerated Australian architect responsible for some of the most legendary hotels in the last quarter-century (including several Aman properties and The Datai Langkawi). The vibe is pretension-free and most everyone is in casual, non-fussy attire, though a designer cocktail dress or two might appear for beachfront dinners and social gatherings. (The first resort, Patina Maldives, opened a few weeks prior, with Capella Maldives to complete the trilogy in 2023.)Īt The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, one will see the usual suspects of honeymooners and lovers on a getaway as well as multi-gen families from all over. Set the scene The Ritz-Carlton Maldives is the second resort to open in the Fari Islands, a four-island man-made archipelago in the North Male Atoll based a 45-minute boat ride from Velana International Airport.

When buying individual onions, give them a squeeze and check on the outside paper. Keep them in a paper or mesh bag so that they can have air circulation. They can live in the fridge for up to two weeks when stored in the vegetable crisper.įresh onions should be stored in a cool and dark place for about four to six weeks. Wrap cut onions tightly in plastic or a reusable wrap. When an onion is cut, these chemicals form gases that mix with the water in your eyes to form sulfuric acid and stimulating your eyes to water making more sulfuric acid and even more tears.Ĭhilling an onion before slicing will help prevent tears and so will using a very sharp knife as you won’t be damaging the cell walls as badly. Inside the cellular structure of an onion separate chemicals mix to form volatile amino acid sulfoxides. This is because you are breaking the cells with your knife and dull ones are especially bad for this. It doesn’t seem to matter which onion, you always seem to tear up a little when it comes to slicing. The biggest thing about working with onions is the tears. That being said, there are several different kinds of onions and their uses vary from dish to dish when cooking. Their pungent wonderful scent is from the amount of sulphur present, which is why some are stronger than others. They’re great for your gut health too, the prebiotics feed your gut bacteria keeping your digestive tract healthy and happy. Onions are nutrient-dense, low in calories, high in fiber and vitamin C, as well as calcium and iron. This is how you can pick the perfect onion.įrom the genus Allium – which includes shallots, garlic, and scallions – onions are one of the most widely cultivated vegetables. ![]() ![]() Better raw, ideal for grilling, special in stews, and correct for caramelization, the right onion is important to the overall result of your meal. To ensure that you make the best food possible though, you need to know which onion to use when you’re cooking. I don’t know about you, but I measure both with the heart, generally forgoing the measurement unit in many meals. Adding flavor to your favorite meals often includes adding garlic and onions. ![]() In music, you have bands that are shocking and different in every generation.Įvery few years, this punk spirit manifests in music and in the movie industry. I grew up listening to British bands in the Punk and New Wave era, and the music had a huge influence on me. To me, the “spark” is like the feeling you have when you come across your favorite band for the first time. I want to create video games that evoke that same feeling in people. ![]() It was fresh and exciting.Įven now, I can still remember the “spark”, that impulsive moment I had when I sat in front of the game screen for the first time. It was unlike TV, comics, or anything else I had experienced up to that point. There was a small, glowing screen sitting in a dark corner of the arcade. My first encounter with games was at a small arcade in my hometown.

Its rapid-fire 10 frames per second continuous shooting speed is enough to ensure that you don't miss a beat, even when shooting the twitchiest of beasts. The 90D possesses just about everything you could ask of a sports and wildlife camera. Video shooters will find it invaluable, as will anyone who wants to shoot at high or low angles where a fixed screen or viewfinder would make it impossible. Where other manufacturers have been rather miserly with this feature, opting instead for the much more limiting tiltscreen (if the screen isn't fixed altogether), Canon has been quick to integrate it to this tier of camera. Unlike APS-C (and even full frame) mirrorless cameras, the Canon EOS 90D has the requisite heft to make handling this kind of glass a breeze – something that somewhat offsets the lack of in-body image stabilization, which is one of the few marks against this camera.Īnother huge plus point for the 90D is the fully articulating touchscreen. When you're wielding large, long lenses to cover a lot of distance, you need a sturdy and substantial body to provide adequate purchase and balance. While compactness is an advantage of mirrorless cameras in many situations, it's definitely a drawback when it comes to shooting sports, wildlife and action. ![]() ![]() ![]() (Image credit: James Artaius) Canon EOS 90D: Design ![]() Taxiway shoulder markings are yellow stripes used where conditions occur, such as taxiway curves, which may confuse which side of the edge stripe is used by aircraft. Dashed lines are used where the adjacent pavement is supposed to be used by aircraft. Usually, these markings consist of continuous double yellow lines. Taxiway edge markings identify the edge of the taxiway, incredibly if the taxiway’s edge does not fit the edge of the pavement. These markings consist of two parallel, yellow-dashed lines positioned on either side of the taxiway’s usual centerline starting before the runway holding the location marking. However, being focused on the taxi’s centerline does not guarantee wingtip clearance with other aircraft or objects.Įnhanced taxiway centerline markings are used in larger airports to warn pilots that they are approaching a runway holding a place marking. Ideally, during a taxi, the aircraft should be kept focused over this line. Normal centerline taxiway markings are a single continuous yellow line. Visual runways, without an instrument approach, do not have threshold markings. These markings have eight stripes of uniform size, or the number of stripes is related to the width of the runway. The runway threshold markings are usable in two configurations. The runway threshold markings signify the start of the runway that is usable for landing. Runway shoulder markings consist of continuous yellow stripes used as appropriate to distinguish the pavement next to the runway that is not intended for use by aircraft. These markings provide visual contrast between the pavement of the runway and the ground. Runway side stripe markings consist of continuous white lines on either side of the runway. Such markers consist of a collection of rectangular bars of one, two and three, perfectly symmetrical placed in pairs around the centerline of the runway. Runway touchdown zone markers help identify the touchdown zone for landing operations. The markings are 100 ft to 150 ft in length, depending on the length of the runway. The two rectangular markers consist of a broad white stripe situated on either side of the runway’s centerline and roughly 1,000 ft from the landing threshold. Runway aiming point markings act as a visual target point for a landing aircraft. The stripes are 120 ft long with 80 ft gaps. Runway centerline marking designates the runway center and provides aircraft orientation instructions during take-off and landing.

Further informationįor a guide on how to set up MFA on email, click here. This means that if your password or passphrase is stolen, cybercriminals will still need access to your MFA device to be able to access your accounts. Adding multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a powerful tool to protect your online accounts and will prevent 99% of attacks. It is important to add an extra layer of security to protect your email accounts or other important user accounts. Should I use my password or passphrase with another authentication method? Consider using a password manager to create and store your passphrases if you have too many to remember.Use word association to help you remember passphrases.Use capital letters, special characters, and numbers if you wish. Use three or four random words and join them together to form your passphrase.Design a passphrase and commit it to memory.Use a different password for different sites (the password manager will remember your passwords for you).Consider using a password manager to create and store your password.Restrict sequential and repetitive characters (e.g.Use a minimum of 8 characters and maximum of 64 characters.Ideally choose a mixture of letters in uppercase and lowercase, numbers, and special characters to form a unique password that is hard to guess. ![]() How do I select a strong password or passphrase? Generally, passphrases are easier to remember and are much more difficult to crack due to the amount of computing time required. We would suggest using unique passphrases, rather than single words. Should I choose a password or passphrase? Another technique used is known as a dictionary attack where known word and number combinations are used to guess passwords. You separate words with either spaces, punctuation, or special symbols. The words do not have any natural flow to them (such as My Name Is Steven ). Just make sure that: The password is at least 12 characters long. Weak passwords or reusing the same passwords on multiple user accounts are commonly exploited by cybercriminals to obtain unauthorised access to systems and data.Īlthough cybercriminals use various techniques such as social engineering to obtain passwords through phishing attacks, other techniques include brute-force attacks where millions of letter, number and character combinations are tried against a user account in an attempt to authenticate the account. One of the simplest yet most effective strong password ideas is to throw 4 or more seemingly random words together. What's more, creating a unique password is more important than changing a password frequently as unique passwords are harder to guess. Choosing a strong password that is unique and not easily guessed is really important to maintain the security of the data or resources accessible with it. Passwords or passphrases are commonly required to authenticate your identity with a computer resource. Why the need for good passwords or passphrases?
