![]() ![]() The yellow color on the underside of the wings is most notable because the yellow portion of the upper surface of the feather is covered by the white of the feather immediately medial (nearer to the body) and above. ![]() However, both upper and lower surfaces of the inner half of the trailing edge of the large wing feathers are a yellow color. The feathers of the white cockatoo are mostly white. When mature some female white cockatoos can have reddish/brown irises, while the irises of the adult male are dark brown or black. They have brown or black eyes and a dark grey beak. The male white cockatoo usually has a broader head and a bigger beak than the female. The white cockatoo is around 46 cm (18 in) long, and weighs about 400 g (14 oz) for small females and up to 800 g (28 oz) for big males. (according to molecular analysis) (Wright 2008) during the period when Australia, South America and Antarctica were breaking away from the super-continent Gondwanaland where the ancestral parrots were believed to have evolved.Īlthough white cockatoos and related species have historically been referred to as “white parrots”, taxonomically they are not considered to be “true parrots”. (according to the fossil record) or 66 m.y.a. While psittaciform parrots (true parrots) and cockatoos have many common anatomical attributes such as zygodactyl feet and hooked bills, the cockatoos and true parrots diverged from the ancestral parrots as separate lineages as early as 45 m.y.a. The term "white cockatoo" has also been applied as a group term to members of the subgenus Cacatua, the genus Cacatua as well as larger groups including Major Mitchell's cockatoo and the galah cockatoo. It lies in the subgenus Cacatua within the genus Cacatua. Its species name alba is a feminine form of the Latin adjective albus for "white". The white cockatoo was first described in 1776 by German zoologist Philipp Ludwig Statius Müller. The white cockatoo is known as ayab (plural form: ayot) in the Burmeso language of Papua, Indonesia. It is similar to other species of white cockatoo such as yellow-crested cockatoo, sulphur-crested cockatoo, and salmon-crested cockatoo, all of which have yellow, orange or pink crest feathers instead of white. The wings and tail have a pale yellow or lemon color which is exposed when they fly. When surprised, it extends a large and striking head crest, which has a semicircular shape (similar to an umbrella, hence the alternative name). The white cockatoo ( Cacatua alba), also known as the umbrella cockatoo, is a medium-sized all-white cockatoo endemic to tropical rainforest on islands of Indonesia. ![]()

Also, if the setup process does not appear, right-click the cloud icon from the notification area and select the Sign in button. You can download the OneDrive client offline installer from Microsoft and double-click the file to install it. Quick tip: The client is probably not installed if you do not find OneDrive on the Start menu.Search OneDrive and click the top result to open the app.Setting up OneDrive on your device is a straightforward process. However, if this is not the case, or you are setting up the cloud service with a new account, you will need to configure the service manually. On Windows 10, when setting up a new installation, OneDrive is usually automatically configured once you add a Microsoft account to create a system account. Once you complete the steps, connect the account to Windows 10 and start using OneDrive. Continue with the on-screen directions to complete the process.And since the data is stored in the cloud, you can use it as a data recovery mechanism if the computer breaks or is stolen. Files On-Demand is another cool feature that allows you to access all your files without downloading them, saving a lot of local storage. When setting up the service with a Microsoft account on your computer, you can also sync and roam your system preferences and many settings (including BitLocker recovery keys) across your devices. If you use a Windows 10 device, you get even more features. Also, OneDrive makes it easy to share content with others and collaborate in real time using the Microsoft 365 integration. For example, since it works across devices and platforms, you can create a file on one device and pick up where you left off on another (desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or phone) without having to transfer anything to a USB flash drive or email it to yourself, which not only creates extra steps but also creates unnecessary copies. Use of Microsoft 365 for university business provides enterprise level security controls and is compliant with university policies.The service works like a traditional external drive, but with the difference that it is available through the internet and offers additional features.

If you stopped paying attention to this article halfway through the previous paragraph, I can assure you that these three features will be of little interest. If you panic at the thought of accidentally deleting some necessary program file, this is not a feature for you.Īdvanced FeaturesTotalFinder has three additional advanced features: visor, asepsis, and tweaks. Those who do know about them and want to get at them can use TotalFinder to toggle to display them without having to restart Finder. ![]() Many people don't need or want to know that these files even exist. Apple OS X hides system files from the end user. The last of the basic features, show system files, may be more for advanced users than average consumers. In other words, you can sort by file size, and the folders will still take the top slots regardless of their size. If you like having folders on top, you'll certainly like that TotalFinder still lets you use the "sort by" feature built into Finder and Apple OS X, but keeps folders on top after the sort is complete. The idea is some users want their folders to be foremost visible, while files should fall below. If you sort by kind in Finder, all the folders that are in view will be grouped together, although they won't necessarily appear at the top of the screen. It's also useful if you typically have more than one Finder window open at once, like if you typically have open one local folder and a second shared folder on a server.Īnother basic feature, called "Folders on top," very nearly duplicates the Finder's existing ability to sort by kind. Dual mode's biggest asset is it enables easier dragging and dropping of files and folders. It's like having two tabs open in one space. TotalFinder's dual mode takes the tab concept a little further, giving you side-by-side views of two spaces simultaneously. Having tabs rather than separate windows makes them all easier to see. TotalFinder enables one window, but multiple spaces for things like the Applications list, Documents, Pictures, Downloads, your Mac home space, or any other directory that you typically want open. ![]() As you'd imagine from the name, the tab feature lets you add tabs to one Finder window rather than opening new ones. My favorite of the basic features, tabs, is so ridiculously simple I can't believe it isn't already a feature in Apple OS X (and I wonder if it's something we might see as a late addition to Apple OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion).

Surface Duo Nine Months Editorial (Image credit: Windows Central | Zachary Boddy) For me, at least, the Duo is a solid one-day phone that didn't have me constantly reaching for a charger. To my genuine surprise, I never worried about running out of juice, even with hours-long solitaire sessions, social media usage, and gaming. The Surface Duo can't be considered an endurance champion by any stretch of the imagination, but a relatively smaller battery combined with two high-resolution screens meant I fully expected the Duo to struggle to last a full day. Even without being a modern powerhouse flagship under the hood, the Duo still holds on to its title as "multitasking king."īattery life joined performance by soundly destroying my expectations. I do lament the lack of a high refresh rate or eye-scorching max brightness coming from my Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, but the Duo kept up enough that I didn't mind.Īnother pleasant surprise was how the Duo's "outdated" spec sheet (don't worry, I'm not here to throw a bunch of numbers at you), featuring an aging two-year-old processor and a middling amount of RAM for multitasking compared to modern smartphones, managed to more than keep up with everything I threw at the Duo, including regularly running two apps at a time and quickly switching between different apps. ![]() I found that colors are plenty vivid and contrast is great, and I never thought the Duo's screens weren't "sharp" enough with their suitably high resolution. While perhaps not as fancy as the top panels from Samsung and flagship devices from other companies, the screens are more than good enough for how I was using the Duo. Despite its unorthodox shape and size, and its slightly hefty weight, the Duo is also surprisingly easy to handle and even hold in one hand (although you'll practically need to use your other hand actually to use it). The Duo is still comfortable and immensely satisfying to open and close, from the incredible hinge to the gentle "clack" when you snap it shut. I was immediately struck by the alluring elegance of the Surface Duo's hardware.Īfter weeks of using the Duo as much as I can, some things haven't changed.

He took a size 7 1/2 galoshes and had a cobbler stitch a boot upper to them and the boot was born. Hunting boots in those days were leaky and they would stiffen and harden as they dried. The story goes that in 1911, Leon Leonwood Bean wanted hunting shoes that would keep his feet warm in the damp Maine Woods. So I am the perfect person to dispel some of the myths, to share some of its secrets, and to take you on a tour of these interesting and wholly original boots.Ī post shared by Janice Grabowski History of the Bean Boot My oldest pair I bought around 1992 and they are still going strong. Now, as recognizable as these boots are, there are many misconceptions about them. So, now that a colorful wave of sorority girl posts of Bean Boot wearing college students has subsided, is it safe to wear them again? Yes, and it always was as long as they are the classic ones. The Boot also has this essential quality of Maineness about it, the State where they were invented and are still made. The Bean Boot is representative of LL Bean, as anyone who has seen their marketing or the Beanmobile can attest. It is also symbolic of the brand that made them. It is symbolic of an imagined American wholesomeness that traces a roped-sole footprint path back into the past through the hunters and outdoorsman who originally used these boots in the early part of the last century, to its crossover to Preppy culture somewhere in the late 1950s, then its brief Instagram fueled viral popularity around 2011 and now unto us. It is symbolic of Autumn in New England, of thick wool sweaters over flannel shirts draped over jeans. It transcends this categorization to “symbolic.” Plus, given the raised heel and 8-inch shaft, you're guaranteed to keep dry even if the water level rises past puddle-height.It would be easy to call the Classic 8” LL Bean Men’s Bean Boot “iconic,” and accurate as well, but the Bean Boot does something more. ![]() These boots worked well in every situation, thus confirming their ability to keep your feet dry no matter how much (or which kind) of precipitation you get. As such, I had ample opportunities to test these: through light springtime mists, end-of-summer rain storms, dewy, early-fall mornings and mid-winter downpours, which we got in lieu of snow. Pittsburgh, where I live, and where I tested these boots, gets a lot of rain. Again, this is partly my own doing by suffering through what I'd assume is the wrong size, but I'm sure I'm not alone - hence this warning. During the first half-dozen wears, my heel consistently lifted out of the cup and rubbed on the rear spine, causing red spot that came just short of becoming a painful blister. With sizing issues comes shifting, which causes blisters. Those early pairs came apart, but this incident spurred perhaps the brand's most popular design feature - maybe behind the duckbill toe, though. As early prototypes, they came without Bean's now-famous triple-line stitching finish, which secures the rubber outsole to the leather upper. He grew tired of traditional boots that'd get soggy in the sole, therefore combining the comfortability of rubber-soled shoes with the durability promised by leather uppers.Īs the story famously goes, though, 90 of the first 100 boots sold were returned. ![]() (They're really just rain boots, though.) The brand's founder, Leon Leonwood Bean, first stitched them together for his own journeys, but eventually sold 100 pairs to close friends and family members - as well as others in Maine. Bean's iconic Bean Boots were then called the Maine Hunting Shoe, but have since adopted more colloquial catch-alls: Bean Boots or Duck Boots, for short.

I’ll tell you, one big mixed bag of messages that should make you think real hard. Then what else do they now do, run Google Adsense on their site and support running Google banners on their startpage site also. They’ve developed a so called privacy oriented browser that played on the paranoia of the general public for ad revenue as their prerogative all along.ĭid you know what the developer was quoted as saying?

UPDATE: The Mac version can be downloaded from this forum post on the SRWare site. You can download the browser from the SRWare website. Personally, I am not enormously bothered by the privacy issues and at the moment I’m pretty happy with a Safari/Firefox combination for my browsers of choice, but if you are looking for Google Chrome, without so much Google, this is worth a try. This is a great example of open source code working well - it allows you to enjoy the benefits of the Chrome browser (the speed, interface and unique tab-as-process architectre) while side-stepping things you don’t want. Iron is a browser based on the open source Chromium project which also powers Google Chrome, but with many of the potentially unwanted features that may impact privacy disabled. If you are someone concerned by the implications of this and maybe don’t trust Google very much, you may want to give SRWare Iron a try. The browser creates a unique client ID which is sent to Google when you do things such as type terms into the combined address and search bar, for example, and if the browser crashes, the technical information relating to that crash is sent to Google. From searches you make on the search engine, to the contents of your email if you are a Gmail user - they have the ability to build up quite a detailed picture of what you do online.Īpparently, the Google Chrome browser itself also does various things which may impact privacy. One of the criticisms often aimed at the company is centred around privacy. Google has come a long way since its humble beginnings in 1997 and now offer a huge array of online services.

For example, the tritone of the G7 chord is between the F and B notes. When we play a tritone, the need arises for this “tense” interval to be resolved, and the expected resolution is to make each note of that tritone move one semitone. Maybe you are now confused, after all we have already stated that the diminished chord has two tritones, so how does the descending diminished not act with a dominant function? After all, it still has two tritones! Well, just as a reminder, the concept of tritones refers to a need for resolution. The descending diminished does not act with a dominant function, as it does not have the same tritone as the V7 chord, unlike the ascending diminished. Great, but can we use the ascending diminished and the descending diminished to resolve in any major or minor chord? Well, in theory, yes, but in practice it will not always sound good. In this case, the diminished chord is usually played a semitone above or below the chord you want to resolve, being called, respectively, ascending diminished and descending diminished. Ascending and descending diminished chordsĪnother application, and perhaps the most used, is to play the diminished chord to explore the chromatic approach effect. The auxiliary diminished slows down the resolution and provides a minimum harmonic movement, since it keeps the bass. When the diminished chord has the same bass (lowest note) as the chord it resolves, it is called the auxiliary diminished. ![]() Other application: The Auxiliary Diminished See an example of replacing the G7 chord with a diminished chord below: This is one of the applications of the diminished chord, to serve as a dominant chord option. You will see that the G7 tritone is present in the G#° chord, which makes this substitution possible. Here is an exercise for you: check the G#° notes and compare them with the G7 notes. For example, the G7 chord could be replaced by the G#° chord (or its equivalents B°, D° and F°). We can exchange the V7 chord for the diminished chord located one semitone above it. Well, if it hasn’t already been made clear, the diminished chord has a dominant function! Having two tritones is no small feat, is it?! So, we can use it to replace dominant chords (like the V7, for example).
