Google Maps is magical and while it is able to be used on a macro level in conjunction with Google Earth to accomplish many things, most people just need to be able to get by.

The layer was removed from Maps because of little use, but replaced with 'Places' a user review driven information snippet. ![]() The Wikipedia layer on Google Earth is one of large differences in recent years. You need directions somewhere, but if you are doing an in depth analysis on erosion of a desert based on water and wind patterns, you will find Google Earth very helpful. It is the difference between looking at a globe with topology versus a map with a topographical legend. It such as, below water 360° scenes and aerial analytics you can zoom into. Advances in technology and imagery are closing the gap, but the difference is a macro versus micro usage type.

![]() Sometimes predator and prey find themselves in an evolutionary arms race, a cycle of adaptations and counter-adaptations. Predation has a powerful selective effect on prey, and the prey develop antipredator adaptations such as warning coloration, alarm calls and other signals, camouflage, mimicry of well-defended species, and defensive spines and chemicals. ![]() Other adaptations include stealth and aggressive mimicry that improve hunting efficiency. Many predatory animals, both vertebrate and invertebrate, have sharp claws or jaws to grip, kill, and cut up their prey. Predators are adapted and often highly specialized for hunting, with acute senses such as vision, hearing, or smell. If the attack is successful, the predator kills the prey, removes any inedible parts like the shell or spines, and eats it. This may involve ambush or pursuit predation, sometimes after stalking the prey. When prey is detected, the predator assesses whether to attack it. ![]() Predators may actively search for or pursue prey or wait for it, often concealed. It is distinct from scavenging on dead prey, though many predators also scavenge it overlaps with herbivory, as seed predators and destructive frugivores are predators. It is one of a family of common feeding behaviours that includes parasitism and micropredation (which usually do not kill the host) and parasitoidism (which always does, eventually). Predation is a biological interaction where one organism, the predator, kills and eats another organism, its prey. Social predators: meat ants cooperate to feed on a cicada far larger than themselves. Solitary predator: a polar bear feeds on a bearded seal it has killed. For other uses, see Predator (disambiguation) and Prey (disambiguation). This cheetah chose wisely in leaving the remainder of its meal to the pigs."Predator" and "Prey" redirect here. There are records of cheetahs and leopards succumbing to the sharp tusks of a warthog on the offensive. But these animals can be surprisingly aggressive and will fight with vicious zeal if predators stray too close. The warthog's ungainly appearance coupled with its characterisation as a lovable-but-cowardly oaf in a certain Disney film, creates an unthreatening image. In this instance, the cheetah relinquished its impala meal without a fight according to Kaloo leaving the warthogs to dine uninterrupted. If the cat's bulging belly is anything to go by, the cheetah had likely already enjoyed the bulk of the meal which may explain why it did little to chase off the scavengers. As for the pigs' penchant for meat: they'll take it if they can get it and are likely more inclined to do so when other food items are scarce. They get the bulk of their nutrition from grass and forb roots which they dig out using their snouts and tusks often while kneeling – a characteristic pose that allows them to get closer to the ground.Ĭommon warthogs, which are found in open woodland, shrubland, short grassland and floodplains across much of sub-Saharan Africa, show a particular preference for roots during the drier winter months between June and August when sweet grasses are not as readily available. Warthogs – medium-sized omnivores in the same family as pigs, hogs and boars – have a varied diet that includes everything from vegetation and roots to bird nestlings, snakes and rodents. "We’ve never seen a warthog doing this, nor did we know that warthogs eat meat from a carcass!"Īlthough it's rare to spot these unfortunate-looking suids tucking into a fleshy meal, it's certainly not out of character. "To witness a warthog actually eating meat was baffling," said Shakera Kaloo who happened upon this curious bit of inter-species interaction just moments after entering the Kruger Park with her family last week. ![]() Serve on top of tacos like these Instant Pot Chicken Tacos and Air Fryer Chickpea Tacos.Surround with crunchy tortilla chips and serve as a colorful party appetizer.For some veggies Instant Pot Mexican Corn On The Cob or some Air Fryer Corn On The Cob.Serve it as part of a Mexican Feast or Fiesta with Instant Pot Chicken Fajitas, deliciously charred Air Fryer Chicken Fajitas or these Cilantro Lime Grilled Shrimp.This recipe is sooooooo as good as is, but you can certainly vary the herbs, spices, fruits, and vegetables to suit your taste.

Health claims made by the blood type diet should be viewed as theoretical and not supported by scientific evidence. Evidence does not support using blood type as a basis for determining what foods to eat or avoid.The type O diet recommendations (emphasizing meat, fruits, and vegetables and limiting grains) have been associated with lower triglyceride levels, regardless of the person's blood type.Regardless of blood type, those whose eating patterns are similar to those outlined for the type A blood group (more fruit, vegetables, and grain, less meat) tend to have better cardio-metabolic (cardiovascular and metabolic) outcomes, such as lower body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels (fats in the blood), and insulin resistance (when cells in the body don't respond well to the hormone insulin and have difficulty taking up glucose from the blood, requiring more insulin).Health outcomes from the foods recommended for each blood type are related to the foods eaten, not the blood type, and are not unique to any blood type.The main findings of existing studies examining the influence of blood type on diet and health benefits include: There is a lack of high-quality studies published in peer-reviewed medical literature on the blood type diet.

![]() This film looked amazing, sounded amazing, a flowed quite smoothly. And just wow, for a film with a budget of less than 30,000, just wow. I've been an SCP enthusiast for a while now, and once I heard about this I knew I had to see it. I look forward to seeing more projects by Evan and Stephen, I just hope next time I can focus on being scared ) All this being said, I still really liked this, and I think everyone did a wonderful job. The whole time I was just too confused to be scared, which was a little disappointing. ![]() Whenever something scary would happen, it wouldn't have the effect it was going for because I was busy thinking about something that happened in the last scene. I didn't feel like I had time to be scared. I get that horror is subjective but just hear me out. And that's part of the bigger thing that irks me about this short is that it wasn't all that scary to me. I understand the appeal of an ambiguous ending and letting the viewer come up with their own idea of what happened, but we just saw so many things happen so rapidly and with no explanation that we can't even come up with a good idea of what might've happened. Then we see that the floating things from earlier are tethered to.something? Then it ends. I think that could've been a great little cliffhanger to end on, but then they switch to Kolinski, who is looking through the camera in confusion. When the team exits the house and has a short exchange with the guys holding down the perimeter, I remember thinking that the guy who asked them to hand over the camera may not have been who he said he was. The biggest "dude what" moment for me was at the end. But it seemed like there were a whole lot of loose ends that weren't tied up. The premise was fine, I liked the whole cult aspect. Don't get me wrong, the cast and crew all did a spectacular job but I feel like it was a little lacking in substance. The composition was amazing and the atmosphere was great. ![]() The console also was built with direct support for broadband connectivity to the Internet via an integrated Ethernet port, and with the release of Xbox Live, a fee-based online gaming service, a year after the console's launch, Microsoft gained an early foothold in online gaming and made the Xbox a strong competitor in the sixth generation of consoles. ![]() The Xbox was the first console to feature a built-in hard disk. Whereas most games consoles to that point were built from custom hardware components, the Xbox was built around standard personal computer components, using variations of Microsoft Windows and DirectX as its operating system to support games and media playback, and featuring a 733 MHz Intel Pentium III CPU and a 233 MHz Nvidia GeForce 3-based NV2A GPU, the latter two making the Xbox technically more powerful compared to its rivals. With the release of the PlayStation 2, which featured the ability to playback CD-ROMs and DVDs in addition to playing games, Microsoft became concerned that game consoles would threaten the personal computer as an entertainment device for living rooms. It was also the first major console produced by an American company since the release of the Atari Jaguar in 1993. It is classified as a sixth-generation console, competing with Sony's PlayStation 2 and Nintendo's GameCube. It was released as Microsoft's first foray into the gaming console market on November 15, 2001, in North America, followed by Australia, Europe and Japan in 2002.

Over the course of his career, he caught 294 passes for 2,227 yards and 14 touchdowns. Johnston was a master of catching the football out of the backfield from his fullback position and even lined up out wide in certain packages. Most of his damage outside of blocking was done as a receiver, however. Moose finished his career with 232 rushes for 758 yards and eight touchdowns.

Romo never looked back, starting 127 games until a preseason back injury in 2016 forced him to retire at the end of that season. He sat behind quarterbacks like Quincy Carter, Vinny Testaverde, Chad Hutchinson, Drew Henson, and Drew Bledsoe before finally getting his chance early in the 2006 season. Romo had offers from the Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos but chose the Cowboys despite them offering a lower signing bonus.
