"I saw just over 40 dead puffins, and that was pretty alarming," she said. ![]() Lestenkof has been participating in the beach surveys herself and went out as soon as she could after learning about the first discoveries. Paul tribal group conducts regular beach surveys in coordination with the COASST program. Only recently have winds shifted to the north, she said. "We've had a lot of wind and high surf," she said. Paul tribal government's Ecosystem Conservation Office, said strong southerly winds blew in for most of the fall, a big departure from the usual seasonal weather on the island. President Barack Obama has made addressing climate change a central focus of his administration, but President-elect Donald Trump has dismissed global warming as a Chinese conspiracy and has put a climate change doubter, Myron Ebell, in charge of his Environmental Protection Agency transition. While experts say that any particular event can't be tied to climate change because of the normal variability of weather, overall global warming, blamed in part on humans' use of fossil fuels, is linked to a rise in sea-surface temperatures. Paul was 4.6 degrees higher than the long-term normal for the month, and August's average temperature was 4.1 degrees higher than normal for that month, according to the Alaska Climate Research Center at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Paul, and the month's average temperature there was 6.2 degrees higher than the long-term normal, according to the National Weather Service.

Sea-surface temperatures in the Bering Sea have soared well above average since August, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Unusual warmth has been documented this fall on and around St. Paul, she said - more post-breeding birds hugging the shoreline and coming to shore, large beaching of birds and death by starvation. Such conditions trigger a pattern that is being replicated in St. Parrish said she believes the die-off is linked to the much higher-than-normal temperatures in that part of the Bering Sea. Geological Survey's National Wildlife Health Center revealed the birds died of starvation, she said. The puffins' carcasses are mostly intact - showing no evidence of predation - but they are emaciated, indicating severe food shortages in their habitat, Parrish said. Paul so late in year, highly unusual because the birds usually disperse to the south in the season, she said. Also significant is the presence of puffins as far north as St. The Pribilof-breeding population of tufted puffins totals only about 6,000, so a death toll in the thousands represents a large portion of that, she said. What is washing ashore is likely only a small fraction of the total number of puffins dying in the area, at most 10 percent but more likely a much smaller percentage, she said. Put in context, the numbers are particularly worrisome, she said. ![]() There's a very big difference there," said Parrish, who is executive director of the Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey Team program - COASST- based at the University of Washington. "In 10 years of standard beach surveys, we've only found, at most, three tufted puffins. The toll dwarfs past counts of dead tufted puffins found on the beach, she said. 4 - is alarming and appears to be linked to unusual warmth in the region, said University of Washington ecologist Julia Parrish, who has been consulting with St. The extent of the die-off - 217 dead tufted puffins found as of Nov.

Progress is measured not in hours, but in months and years.īe patient with yourself. But if you look at a longer time frame - compare the drawings you did 1-2 years ago vs. If you compare your work today with your work from a month ago, you probably won't see clear differences.

Keep drawing and you’ll gradually feel more comfortable|confident with your drawing tools and build fine motor skills. It’s easy to lose steam and think you’re not making progress. If you are in search of tips for getting better at drawing - or if you are frustrated because you feel you are not making progress, I’ve got a variety of starting points for you to explore. It might seem like magic that involves charms and pixie dust and the perfect fountain pen - but honestly it’s just about drawing. What I learned? If you draw a lot, you get better. Most of what I draw is abstract but I’ve sketched monuments and landscapes and cathedrals and people as well. Drawing in all sorts of notebooks and journals all over the world on planes, buses, and trains.

As far as the HLR transmission goes.With the machine off, Listen to the HLR shift detents. One knuckle there should be Keyed to the shaft and the other knuckle should turn on the shaft.Many times the knuckles are rusted tight and won't operate right.Also in there you will find a 13/16" bolt head standing upright, this is the brake band adjustment. After there is some slippage in the clutch, then the brake band clamps around the exterior of the clutch drum causing the track to stop thus steering the machine.Now that we understand the operation of this now's the time to troubleshoot it.In many cases I've seen the clutches wet causing rusting of the clutch disks and plates insude the clutch drum.These machines should always be covered with a tarp from the dashboard over the top of fuel tank to keep water / snow from sitting on top of steering covers.Water can and will get inside through lever bushings and top covers.Inside the top covers you will notice a shorter 5/16" bolt. Then the throw-out bearing begins to disengage the clutch. Excluding any slop in the linkage, the lever should have about an inch of free-play like any other clutch. There is a tin cover on top of each steering clutch housing under the seat With the covers off, you can watch the movement of the linkage.The long 3/8" bolt is the free-play adjustment.

In 1999, Lopez and Marx, who collaborated on both music and lyrics, began work on Avenue Q, a stage musical which, using puppet characters, similar to those on Sesame Street, dealt with adult themes and ideas. Highlights from the unproduced musical were performed by Rick Lyon, Rebecca Jones, and Susan Blackwell at the BMI Workshop. ![]() Their first project together, Kermit, Prince of Denmark, a Muppet parody of Hamlet, won the Kleban Award for lyrics, though The Jim Henson Company rejected the script, saying it did not have enough "kid appeal." The story was considered for the next Muppet film by Chris Curtin in 2004, until Curtin left the Disney Company. In 1998, while participating in the BMI Lehman Engel Musical Theater Workshop, he met another aspiring songwriter, Jeff Marx.

An all around workhorse, this little knife can pretty much do it all. I’m not saying you can baton logs with it, but at under 2 ounces it’s cheap insurance if your primary blade(s) fail. I also think it’s a great knife for the truck, for your bug out bag, as an absolute last ditch tactical blade, as a backup backup survival blade, for camping trips, fishing, etc etc etc. Even if you you don’t normally carry a fixed blade knife, the Minimalist is discrete and can be easily slipped into a pocket. It is a stout design that can also be a great option for EDC. One of my favorite things about the Minimalist is the exceptional utility. Suffice to say, this is an exceptional little knife from the mind of a great maker offered at a phenomenal price.
