![]() But the jump from there to gen 3 is a big one. You can see the evolution from the first gen first released in 1989, to the second gen in 2004. The change from the second to third generation of the Discovery is quite a big one. The middle has smoother lines than the previous model, and the back is sort of rounded…… and that’s really all I can or want to say about the back. From the front it’s very modern looking, taking a lot of styling cues from the popular Evoque. But the Discovery is no small SUV at all, it’s massive when you stand beside it and it gets even bigger when you climb aboard. Yes, that’s a lot, and we didn’t even cover everything.įor some reason I always thought of the Discovery as one of Land Rover’s smaller SUV’s, maybe this is because of the Range Rover products which always seem to be much larger, in both presence and status. ![]() To name a few, 12 Way Grained Leather Memory Seats, 3 Zone Climate Control, Heated Windscreen & Washer Jets, Active Speed Limiter, Cornering Brake Control, Dynamic Stability Control, Electronic Power Assisted Steering, Meridian 380W Sound System, Powered Tailgate, Electronic Air Suspension, Electronic Brake-Force Distribution, Front Axle Open Differential, Gradient Acceleration Control, Hill Descent Control with Off-Road ABS, Keyless Entry & Keyless Start, Roll Stability Control, Terrain Response 2™, Autonomous Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning, Trailer Stability Assist which requires an official Land Rover tow bar and 20″ 5 Split-Spoke wheels in Sparkle Silver. The HSE model we tested has an impressive array of standard features. ![]() The petrol has a combined fuel rating of 10.9 and the diesel 7.5. The petrol puts out 250kW of power and 450Nm of torque while the diesel puts out 190kW and 600Nm. Both are paired with a 4WD drivetrain and an 8-speed automatic transmission. The two engine specs available for the SE, HSE and HSE Luxury are the 3.0L supercharged V6 petrol and the 3.0L turbo V6 diesel engines. I will cover the engines, and the spec of the model we are testing. The range of options seems endless, so if you’re really keen, go and check out the Land Rover website. The Discovery SE is available from $114,900, the HSE is available from $126,900 and the HSE Luxury is available at $136,900. What surprised me was that each level, regardless of the engine option, were the same price – petrol or diesel. And within each of these spec levels, you have the option of petrol or diesel. The Discovery comes in three levels, the SE, HSE and HSE Luxury. And this is great news for our team and our followers, as we can now add this brand into the battle beside the other major SUV and off-road brands we currently review. The NHTSA and IIHS have not tested the Discovery for crash testing.This may surprise some of our followers, but this is officially the first Land Rover we have had the opportunity to test. Adaptive cruise control and active lane control are optional. ![]() The list now includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection and blind-spot monitors, traffic sign recognition, driver condition monitor, a surround-view camera system, and keyless entry are all standard. More safety features are now standard for 2020. It's a different story with fuel economy, where the diesel is out front with 21 mpg city, 26 highway, 23 combined. The diesel is 500 pounds shy of that number. The 8-speed automatic is employed here as well.ĭespite the diesel's mountain of torque, the gas engine remains the towing champion, able to pull up to 8,201 pounds. Those looking for better fuel economy will want the 3.0-liter turbodiesel, which has 254 horsepower and 443 lb-ft of torque. An 8-speed automatic hooks up to this engine and sends power to all four wheels via Land Rover's full-time all-wheel-drive system. Most Discovery models will be powered by a 3.0-liter supercharged V-6 that makes 340 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. It gets some cosmetic upgrades as well as a standard seven-seat layout. This off-roader might not have the chutzpah of the Range Rover, but it is no less adept at being both luxurious and capable.įor 2020, a number of convenience and safety features that were previously optional are now standard. Behind the soft and suave looks of 2020 Land Rover Discovery lies a genuine SUV that's ready to conquer almost any terrain. 2008) and hence, assessment of factors driving offspring survival has been a central component of ecological studies for many decades (Gibson et al. The survival rate of offspring is a key demographic factor that drives the success of populations (Albon et al. We discuss how either nest protection and/or invasive predator eradication may be used to increase egg survival and when these approaches might be used. ![]() Depending on location, a predator could be identified as both native and invasive (e.g., dogs). We reviewed evidence from 34 sites around the world identifying 36 predators that were either native (e.g., crabs, and goannas, n = 30) or invasive (e.g., rats, and pigs, n = 8). Overall, hatching success (the percentage of eggs laid leading to a hatchling emerging from the egg) was 64.9%, while 3.1% of eggs were predated within nests, 18.1% died during incubation without predation and 13.9% were removed. In other cases, egg predation was recorded where the egg had been opened and contents were eaten in the nest. For example, the mean clutch size at oviposition (mean 127.8 eggs, n = 23, range = 74–176) was significantly larger than at the end of incubation (mean 110.9 hatched and unhatched eggs, n = 16, range = 9–147). Often whole eggs were removed from clutches. Native coconut crabs ( Birgus latro) and ghost crabs ( Ocypode spp.), as well as introduced black rats ( Rattus rattus), were predators of eggs, with these species entering nests via tunnels dug obliquely in the sand. We assessed the levels of egg predation within green turtle ( Chelonia mydas) clutches on the island of Diego Garcia (7.42°S, 72.45☎), Chagos Archipelago (Indian Ocean). The fastest turtles are the leatherbacks which have been known to swim at speeds of over 20 miles per hour.Egg predation by invasive and native species may have severe impacts on endangered species and negatively affect species recovery.These tears are from special glands that allow them to get rid of extra salt they get by living in salt water oceans. Sea turtles sometimes look like they are crying.They can live off of the water they get from their food. Sea turtles don't need a supply of fresh water.Leatherback sea turtles have been known to dive over 1000 feet deep in the ocean.Many sea turtles can hold their breath for over 30 minutes.They are very vulnerable to predators during this time. Once the eggs hatch, the hatchlings head for the water. The eggs are left defenseless and become prime food for many predators. Then the mothers leave and go back into the ocean. Mother sea turtles lay lots of eggs on the beach in a hole they dig. However, baby Sea turtles are highly vulnerable when they are born. Grown sea turtles have very few predators. Sometimes the back flippers are used for digging holes where the turtle lays eggs.ĭepending on the species and age of the turtle, sea turtles eat all kinds of food including sea grass, seaweed, crabs, jellyfish, and shrimp. The front flippers are used to propel the turtle through the water while the back flippers are used for steering. These flippers can also help propel them on land, but not very well, making sea turtles easy prey to predators on land. Sea turtles have flippers that enable them to swim well. Sea turtles don't retract into their shells like some turtles. Some are oval and some are more heart shaped. Different species have different shaped shells. The top side of the shell that we see is called the carapace. Like other turtles, sea turtles have a hard shell that acts as armor and protects them from predators. ![]() They grow to around 2 feet long and 100 pounds. The largest is the leatherback which can grow up to 6 feet long and weigh well over 1,000 pounds! The smallest are the olive ridley and the Kemp's ridley turtles.

There are steps people can take to protect their cybersecurity and we encourage all users to follow the proper procedures to ensure their teleconferences are secure.” “Since then we have learned of other incidents around the country. “We were alerted to this problem by a Michigan reporter who participated in a Zoom conference that was hijacked,” stated Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. We encourage our communities to visit fbi.gov or ic3.gov to learn more about tips they can take to keep their devices secure.” “While Michiganders are sheltering in place, it is important to practice good cyber hygiene. “It is a shame that during a pandemic which is causing fear and anxiety across the globe that there are wrongdoers seeking to disrupt virtual environments which have become essential to communication, teleworking and online learning,” said Special Agent in Charge Steven M.

Let’s see how funny it is after you get arrested,” stated Matthew Schneider, United States Attorney for Eastern Michigan. All of these charges are punishable by fines and imprisonment. Charges may include – to name just a few – disrupting a public meeting, computer intrusion, using a computer to commit a crime, hate crimes, fraud, or transmitting threatening communications. Michigan’s chief federal, state, and local law enforcement officials are joining together to warn anyone who hacks into a teleconference can be charged with state or federal crimes. Hackers are disrupting conferences and online classrooms with pornographic and/or hate images and threatening language. The State of Michigan has seen several instances of such hacking just this week. Unfortunately, as the FBI reported this week, there has been a rise in the number of so-called “Zoom-bombing,” or video hacking across the United States. As our country finds new ways of communicating during the COVID-19 pandemic, Michigan residents have turned to video-teleconferencing (VTC) platforms, such as Zoom, to stay connected. In so doing, they offered a particularly vivid example of a broader cultural phenomenon: Augustan classicism. They replaced the sober and imposing Venus of the Republic - divine ancestress of Rome, and victory-bringing goddess of Sulla, Pompey, and Caesar - with a more elegant, Hellenized deity. These images, widely popular in Augustan times, marked a distinct break with earlier practice. From the elaborate state-sponsored monuments of the new regime, to more modest private homes, the goddess of love featured prominently in works of art whose idealized naturalism was inspired by the achievements of Classical and Hellenistic Greece. In the Augustan era, Greek-style images of Aphrodite permeated Roman visual culture. It is an analysis of the Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite and in it I argue that the hymn demonstrates the historical shift of power that occurred from matrifocal societies in which women – and goddesses as symbolic representations of women – held more power than they did once patriarchy became firmly established. The original essay used untranslated Greek and for the purpose of publication I use Thelma Sargent's The Homeric Hymns: A Verse Translation published in 1975 as the source of the poetic text that I quote. This essay comprises about half of the original and I have altered it only slightly to improve it, but I have not changed the argument in any major way. This work has sat in my drawers for all these decades because at the time there was nowhere to put out such a work. In 1981, I wrote a 10,000 word thesis entitled 'Women and Power: A Feminist Reading of the Homeric Hymns to Aphrodite and Demeter'. Initially it was Modern Greek but after a year of so I decided to learn Ancient Greek as my passion for mythic stories exploded. Travelling to Crete really turned my head and upon returning to Australia I decided to learn Greek. I was a young feminist and had read Helen Diner's Mothers and Amazons and while in Greece I read up on the Greek Myths. In vorliegenden Artikel untersuche ich, mit welchen Mitteln die Bürger von Aphrodisias Im Gegenteil wurde es ein Problem in einer zunehmend christlichen Kultur. In spät antiker Zeit jedoch war die Verbindung mit der heidnischen Göttin für Liebe und Schönheit nicht länger mehr ein Vorteil. Zusammenfassung Unter römischer Herrschaft profi tierte Aphrodisias im Südwesten der Türkei erheblich von seinem selbst verbreiteten Ruf als Stadt der Aphrodite. Such treatment testifies to the dangerous power of Aphrodite for adherents of the new religion it also offers illuminating insights into the transformation of the Late Antique city in the transition from paganism to Christianity. Her sacrifices were banned, her statues mutilated, and her temples torn down, or converted into Christian churches. In consequence, Aphrodite's cult and images attracted particularly violent responses, not only in Aphrodisias but in other Late Antique towns also. This was due to her visual form – her erotic charm, her frequent nudity – and to her divine 'personality', especially her concern with erotic desire and sexual love. ![]() ![]() ![]() In what ways were pagan goddesses treated differently than their male counterparts? What forms might attacks on their worship take? And were certain goddesses particularly problematic? This paper argues that, while in theory all pagan deities were anathema to Christians, in practice Aphrodite was particularly targeted for attack. What has not been addressed, however, is the dimension of gender. Debate has focused on the extent of these attacks, and the range of attitudes Christians had towards pagan artifacts. Early Christian attacks on pagan cults and images have recently attracted con siderably scholarly attention. Aphrodisias's rich archaeological and epigraphic record, and the prominence of Aphrodite there, make this a useful case study for the dissolution of a pagan goddess's cult in late antiquity. This article examines the means by which the citizens of Aphrodisias eradicated the cult of Aphrodite, and in so doing transformed the visual landscape of their city. By the Late Antique era, however, this association with the pagan goddess of love and beauty was no longer an advantage rather, it was a problem in an increasingly Christian culture. Under Roman rule, Aphrodisias in southwestern Turkey profited considerably from its self-proclaimed status as the city of Aphrodite. ![]() Read on for 27 of the best Cirkul flavors.

The trucks at that point could carry twice as much as before because they could compact the trash while driving through the city. It was the first true compacting garbage truck. In 1938 the Load Packer was introduced by Garwin Industries, which revolutionized the sanitation industry. Other times, workers are injured while trying to dislodge objects that may become jammed in the truck's packer blade. In some documented cases, homeless people sleeping in dumpsters have been poured into a truck's hopper. ![]() These sort of accidents can be the result of negligence or mechanical error. Although most garbage trucks come with a series of safety features, and waste management companies require their workers to follow procedures designed to protect their own well-being, accidents resulting in death or dismemberment can result if a worker is caught inside the garbage truck's hopper when the packing blade is actuated. Trash collector is routinely listed among the most dangerous occupations, and this is the reason why. Garbage Truck Safetyīecause of its need to be so powerful, the packer blade is the most dangerous part of a garbage truck. Still another type of garbage truck is the suction truck, which features a pneumatic tube that acts like a large vacuum cleaner to suck waste out of specially designed containers. Side loaders may include an automatic lift mechanism, like a rear loader, or forks like a front loader. Recycling trucks, which may include multiple hoppers for different types of pre-sorted waste, are often built in the side loader configuration. Other Types of Garbage TrucksĪnother type of garbage truck is the side loader, which, as the name implies, feature a hopper that can be accessed through one or more doors on the side of the truck. The forks on a front loader are usually controlled by a joystick located inside the cab. These forks are designed to fit into corresponding holes on the dumpster and raise it over the trick, actually dumping it into the top of the hopper. These trucks feature a form mechanism that raises and lowers in front of the truck's cab. This life is often controlled by a series of buttons and levers that are attached to the exterior of the vehicle and can be operated by a trash collector who is in view of the bins being emptied.įront loaders are often used to collect waste from dumpsters and serve many large buildings or businesses. These trucks feature a rear opening to the hopper and sometimes use a hydraulic lift to raise and dump the trash bins into the hopper. Rear loaders are the most common type of garbage truck and are used in most neighborhoods to collect the garbage bins left at the street by residents. Common Types of Garbage Trucksĭifferent varieties of garbage trucks feature specific components that allow them to function in a certain type of trash collection. It is the hopper and packer blade that set garbage trucks apart from other types of vehicles or from the multipurpose carts and trucks that preceded the modern garbage truck. Some modern garbage trucks are able to use their packer blades while driving, so that the trash is compressed between stops leaving room for more to be added. ![]() Packer blades are controlled through a hydraulic system capable of exerting large pressure on the trash. The packer blade is used to compress the trash in order to make more space inside the hopper. ![]() Garbage truck hoppers may also be referred to as compactors in cases where a packer blade is used. Hoppers may consist of a single, large open space or a series of compartments for collecting different types of trash. Garbage trucks collect trash in a container that usually comprises most of the vehicle's mass, known as the hopper. The cab contains many of the truck's controls, including all of those used for regular driving, though other controls may be placed on the vehicle's exterior for convenience. Garbage trucks also feature a cab of some sort, in which the driver (and, in some cases, other trash collection workers) can sit while the truck is in motion. |
