![]() ![]() Whether calico, tortoiseshell, orange, black, brown, or gray, a cat’s fur color is derived from two dominant colors: Black and red. A small percentage of orange cats are female, and even a more miniscule portion of calico cats are male.īelow, learn how genetics and sex influences a cat’s coat color, and why some cats don’t fit typical color patterns. Nature doesn’t always abide by a rigid set of rules, however, including when it comes to feline fur color. Thus, no color is associated with a particular sex, except in cats and hamsters.” “Since the genes for sex and hair colors are on different chromosomes, they are inherited independently of each other. “These other chromosomes contain genes that affect hair color, pattern, shape and length,” Grahn says. Robert Grahn, a forensic analyst at the veterinary genetics laboratory at the University of California in Davis. But a number of additional chromosomes are present and vary depending upon species, says Dr. As you may recall from high school biology, mammals have two chromosomes that determine their sex-XX for females and XY for males. The color of a cat’s coat is closely linked to its gender. Most orange cats are male and most calicos are female. And you’re certain that the orange tabby you’ve fallen in love with at the shelter is a boy. But the genes of some cat breeds hide the tabby appearance.You’ve always assumed the calico cat that sits in your neighbor’s window is a she. But later, other tabby patterns happened because of mutations and selective breeding of the mackerel tabby. At first, the mackerel tabby was common in all domestic cats. But when those breeds mixed, it made a more distinct mackerel tabby coat. Both of these wild cats have a pale, striped tabby pattern. It is believed to have come from the African Wildcat and the European Wildcat. The mackerel tabby pattern was the first tabby pattern in domestic cats. The tabby pattern is not visible at all in the white portion. As with solid-color cats, tabbies may also be partly white, such as tuxedo or van patterns. Colorpoint cats ( Siamese, Himalayan, etc) that are tabbies are referred to as lynx point. Since the orange gene is on the X chromosome, about 80% of orange tabby cats are male, and nearly all calico cats are female. All orange cats are tabbies, and the orange portion of calico cats will always show tabby patterns. Tabbies may be brown, grey, orange, or calico, including dilute versions of these colors. Both large spot and small spot patterns can be seen in the Australian Mist, Bengal, Egyptian Mau, Maine Coon, and Ocicat breeds. Sometimes, the stripes of a classic tabby's pattern may be broken into larger spots. The spotted tabby has a gene that breaks up the mackerel tabby pattern so that the stripes appear as spots. Some stripes or bars can often be seen on the lower legs, face and belly and sometimes at the end of the cat's tail. These break up the tabby pattern into a "salt-and-pepper" look. Classic tabby is a recessive trait, so these cats are not as common as mackerel tabbies.Ī ticked tabby pattern makes a grizzly color of fur of dark and light bands or bars. Classic tabbies have dark stripes on their legs, tail, and cheeks. ![]() There is also a light colored "butterfly" pattern on the shoulders and three thin stripes (the center stripe is dark) running along its spine. The body is marked with a whirled or swirled pattern (often called a "bullseye") on the cat's sides. Classic tabbies have the "M" pattern on their foreheads too. The classic tabby cat (also known as "blotched" or "marbled") has a pattern usually in the colors of dark brown, ochre, and black but sometimes grey. A mackerel tabby pattern is the only striped coat pattern seen in domestic cats. Mackerels are also called 'Fishbone tabbies' probably because of the mackerel fish. This is what some people refer to as a "tiger." An "M" shape appears on the forehead along with dark lines across the cat's cheeks to the corners of its eyes. A "mackerel tabby" has narrow stripes that run in parallel down its sides. The legs and tail have dark bars as do the cat's cheeks. Mackerel is the original pattern and is by far the most common tabby pattern. The "patched" tabby is a calico or tortoiseshell cat with tabby patches (also known as "caliby" and "torbie"). There is also a fifth pattern that includes tabby as part of another basic color pattern. ![]() There are four tabby patterns that are genetically different: mackerel, classic, spotted, and ticked. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Mexico has so far registered over 1,500 confirmed cases of coronavirus and 50 deaths. However, in late February, Constellation Brands, which owns the Corona label, denied the rumour and said sales had stayed strong in the US even as the virus has spread internationally. Since the start of the virus crisis, Corona beer has been the punchline of jokes and memes, and an online rumour said sales in the US dropped by around 40 percent after the outbreak. On Wednesday, the northern state of Nuevo Leon, where Heineken's Mexican operations are based, said it would stop the production and distribution of beer, which led to panic buying. Mexico's other major beer producer Heineken - which makes the Tecate and Dos Equis brands - could also stop activities on Friday, the Reforma newspaper said, although the company did not confirm the report. Grupo Modelo, the brewer behind Corona, Modelo and other beers, said in a statement Thursday that it was suspending its beer production after the Mexican government ordered nonessential businesses. Grupo Modelo said it was ready to operate with 75 percent of its staff working remotely to guarantee the supply of beer, if the government agreed. Mexico's government has said that only key sectors such as agribusiness will be able to continue to function. "We are in the process of lowering production at our plants to the bare minimum," the company said in a statement, adding it would complete the suspension in the following days.

The International SuperSprint is held in Auckland, comprising of multiple practice sessions leading up to two 250km races on the Saturday and Sunday. On Saturdays, a single 120/150 km race is held, with a single 250/300 km race taking place on Sundays. The Supersprint events take place in many places throughout Australia, such as Tasmania and Phillip Island. These are the SuperSprint, International SuperSprint, SuperStreet and Enduro Cup events. There are four types of events in the V8 Supercars, each with their own individual race formats. The term ‘V8’ stems from one of the key components of the cars used in the events each must strictly use a 5.0 litre V8 engine. Various international events have spawned, including a regular circuit in New Zealand, and countries such as China, Bahrain, the UAE and U.S have also hosted events previously, and the events are given extensive international media coverage. Supercars events take place in every Australian state, in addition to the Northern Territory and ACT, and have done so since 1996, following the formation of the Australian Vee Eight Super Car Company (AVESCO). ![]() Skip to the instructions to watch in New Zealand.

There are 12 work outs in the book, which as I said, mirror the sorts of topics that usually come up in BE coursebooks – meetings and presentations are there, along with branding, leadership and job interviews. The handouts are the worksheets that the students work on and take away from the lesson. The teaching tools are the materials that will need preparing before the lesson – the cut up matching tasks or the separable texts for jigsaw readings etc. There are four main sections in the book, the “Work outs” which are essentially the plans and procedures, the teaching tools, the handouts, and an Idiom dictionary which I think will be a useful review for most teachers before beginning a class. The latest in the Work it Out series from Prosperity Education focuses on Business Idioms and one of the immediate draws for me is the way the structure of the book lends itself to supplementing a standard syllabus / coursebook structure. For anyone who is wondering, to replace an arm and a leg with prosthetics would probably cost you about USD 75000. Being British, I don’t want to tell you exactly how much my new car cost as that would reveal far too much personal information, so I might instead, laughingly tell you it cost an arm and a leg. When we want to be opaque and when we want to be less direct in our speech, it is often idiom to which we turn. Which is a shame, because while a lot of business and office work is conducted in plain speech a lot of it isn’t. I do think that many coursebooks (and obviously some more than others) are much better than at being lexical and functional in their approach these days, but idiom is still a poor cousin to more functional and less colourful phrases. ![]() Having been teaching Business English and corporate clients for nearly 20 years now, one of the things I have often thought missing from BE coursebooks is some exploration of idiom and vernacular, because it really is everywhere in business. ![]() Do you know your arm and a leg from your elbow?

Remember to only use this in extraordinary cases. It is possible to have more control over the cutting order when something has to be engraved at different depths for example. It automatically first cuts the smallest parts and works its way to the bigger parts. It is not necessary to manually give in the order in which the machine engraves or cuts. The laser cutter optimizes the cutting process. For more details see the cutting or engraving part of this tutorial. Engraving can be done by not using a stroke and only use a greyscale to black fill. Vector engraving lines have to be RGB blue with a stroke weight of 0.01mm without any fill. This way the font is converted to paths and will keep its appearance.Īttention!: Do this step in the end of the process because you cannot change the text after this step.Ĭutting lines have to be RGB red with a stroke weight of 0.01mm without any fill.

If you want to cut or vector engrave them, you need to convert these images (JPEG,BMP, PNG, etc.) to vector line drawings. Rasterized or bitmap images can only be engraved. White is not engraved, light grey is the shallowest and black the densest. The density control is exactly the same as with fills. Color images are being converted to a greyscale image via dithering. The laser cutter can interpret raster images for engraving without any problems. Gradients can also be used and are treated the same way by the machine. All shades of grey in between make a difference in density. On average light grey (RGB – 230,230,230) is the shallowest and black the densest. By using shades of grey you can control the density of the engraving. De color is RGB blue which is also available in the color pallet.Īll fills are engraved.

![]() ![]() To get specific inputs, close-ended questions are useful like “Are you done with the activity?”.To expand a discussion further, you might ask an open-ended question like, ”How was your weekend?”.In fact, there are different types of questions suited for different purposes. Use questions to probe for missing information or clarify any points that you might not completely understand. Putting questions to your speaker is perhaps the most definitive sign that you have been listening actively. Such reflective strategies not only help in summarizing the essential points in a conversation but, if needed, allow the speaker a chance to correct you. Make sure you have understood what a child has been saying to you by repeating back the message in your own words. This takes the attention completely away from what the other person is saying and focuses it on your own words. ![]() Also do not interrupt or finish your speaker’s sentences. This will cause you to lose your concentration on what the child has to say to you. Try not to think about how you are going to respond as someone is speaking to you. However, avoid using exaggerated gestures or dramatic expressions which could confuse the speaker as to the import of their words or take away the focus from the speaker to the listener. Vocalizations such as “uh-uh” or “hmm-hmm” are other effective ways of showing that you are fully engaged in listening. Interact nonverbally with your learners using small gestures or verbal affirmations, such as nodding your head or offering very brief comments such as “I see”. Over time your learners will pick up the practice and reap its social benefits since people who maintain eye contact are seen as warm, trustworthy and approachable. For example, when a child is explaining a picture they have drawn, observe their gestures and facial expressions as a clue for how interested they were in the task. Focus on what they are saying, both with their words as well as with voice inflections, rate of speech and body language. When a child is saying something to you, give them your complete attention. Here are a few strategies to practice active listening with your young learners. Like with most life skills, the best way to foster active listening skills is to model it yourself. Speakers receive confirmation their point is coming across effectively, and listeners absorb more content and understanding by being engaged Active Listening Skills and Active Listening Examples This form of listening conveys a mutual understanding between speaker and listener. Active listening is the practice of preparing to listen, observing what verbal and non-verbal messages are being sent, and then providing appropriate feedback for the sake of showing attentiveness to the message being presented. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Yes, Caitriona Balfe Really Sang "Ave Maria" in 'Outlander' Season 7 Episode 3 'Outlander' Season 7 Episode 3 Recap: "Death Be Not Proud" Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe Think It Would be "Unrealistic" if Jamie and Claire Were Still Constantly Boning in 'Outlander' Season 7 What Time Will 'And Just Like That' Season 2 Episode 4 Be on Max?īest Amazon Prime Video Channels Deals of Prime Day 2023 Steve Debuts Hot Revenge Bod On 'And Just Like That' 'And Just Like That' Reveals Charlotte Is A "C*m-Slut" With a Subplot About Harry's "Dust-Balls" 'And Just Like That' Season 2 Episode 4 Recap: Dust Balls and Gloria Steinem Stream It Or Skip It: ‘Run Rabbit Run’ on Netflix, in Which Sarah Snook is Stuck Among a Litany of Creepy-Kid Horror Cliches Is Netflix's 'Run Rabbit Run' Based on a True Story? ‘The Fearway’ Ending Explained: Do Sarah and Michael Live?

But is there eight hours’ worth of story here? Or just endless amplification of that basic fact? “Clickbait” seems to be forcefully arguing after the viewer’s conceded: Yes, the internet has made anonymous misbehavior much easier. All the wilder flourishes are in service of the rudimentary idea that no one knows us online the series goes to strange places in continuing to make the case, with which it’s hard to disagree anyhow. But after starting in an extreme place, the show keeps pushing further past credibility, cutting corners on its investigation subplot in favor of increasingly bizarre demonstrations of the internet’s dark power. Some of the characters are drawn and performed effectively. That gets at the general misguidedness of a very watchable show that ultimately runs aground when trying to assert big ideas. It’s that “Clickbait” pats itself on the back for observing that tabloid-style media coverage can have collateral damage. What rankles most about Lim’s plotline isn’t that tales like these paint the practice of reporting with a broad brush (although that’s true, too). This story has been told elsewhere, and with more acidity and irony. A journalist played by Abraham Lim, constantly breaking the law to ensure he gets scoops about the Brewer scandal, exists as living proof that the media is engaged in a race to ethical rock bottom. Unfortunately, “Clickbait” comments much more effectively on character than on society. ![]() |
