Each gets held to the standards of a new vehicle. CPO vehicles also receive more thorough inspections and testing, taken care of by brand-trained and certified service techs and with plenty more "points," or quality criteria, to meet. A certified used car, on the other hand, is often a trade-in at the end of a lease, from a relatively recent model year, and shows low odometer mileage. On that commitment, our dealership's no different. Whether it's a car like Honda Accord or Honda Civic, an SUV such as Honda CR-V, a Honda Ridgeline truck, or a Honda Odyssey van, just about every model comes rigorously dealer-inspected for road readiness. If you're wondering what that's all about, the experts here at Elk Grove Honda have made learning a lot easier. If you're one of these, consider a certified pre-owned Honda. However, sometimes a commuter out of Davis or road-tripper out of Roseville prefers more in the way of assurances, yes?

![]() They’re also not as power-hungry as the ATCs. Good news too on the mid bass hump front: on the LS50 there isn’t one. There’s also some of the tonal fatness that I enjoy in the ATC SCM 11. ![]() Music emanates from a space between and behind the speakers, seemingly physically disconnected from the boxes spinning the aural illusion.Įxcitement and dynamics are more up in yr grill with the LS50 than the Spendor SA1 – they present closer to the PMC DB1i’s “where’s the party?” vibe without giving up anything in the midrange transparency department. Nothing images like a ProAc? The LS50 do – that’s ‘Uni-Q’ coaxial magic at work. Bass integration is also better on the KEF. The rear-ported KEF isn’t transmission line like the DB1i but bass goes considerably deeper than even the PMC. The LS50 release more upper-frequency air than the SA1 and the ATC SCM11 but not as much as the ProAc TR8 (which sizzles) or PMC DB1i (which sparkles). The LS50’s top-end is as smooth as that of the Spendor SA1 but that’s pretty much where the similarities end. This pick of the pops now shifts to KEF’s 50th birthday badboys. Aside from Harbeth’s P3ESR, Spendor’s SA1 – a sealed design – are the least rock n roll in the aforelisted boxes and yet I’ve consistently name-checked them as my favourite in the sub-$3k standmount category because of their talents with imaging, tone and transparency (particularly with voices). Put away that knee-blanket, no afternoon nap for you! I’ve spent considerable time with. If you’re expecting pipe and slippers from KEF here you’re in for a rude awakening. I’ve spent weeks and weeks on end with PMC DB1i and TB1i, ProAc Tablette Reference 8 and 1SC, ATC SCM 7 and 11 and 19, Rega RS1, Harbeth P3ESR and C7-ES2, Spendor S3/5se and S3/5r and SA 1. But many contemporary models are pretty darn good with implying a sense of bass, even if they don’t do so explicitly with chest-thump impact. Standmounts don’t go as low as floorstanders as a rule. I asked myself: how do the LS50 compare to the (mostly British) standmounts that I’ve owned/borrowed over the past couple of years? Also, which amplifiers to hand work best? Rather than re-inforce the raves that precede this review, I thought I’d take a different approach. So successful have they been with reviewers and the general public alike that KEF intends to continue the LS50’s production indefinitely. The LS50’s rose-gold coaxial driver array is now unmistakable. Global brand manager Johan Coorg says the push for more radical aesthetics came from Hong Kong mothership GP Acoustics. Perhaps the (wo)men in white coats at KEF’s development lab in Kent instead asked themselves: what might the LS3/5a sound like today? I suspect the connection might be more marketing spin than genuine genetic extrapolation. Their design is a future-facing take on an old standard, the BBC LS3/5a. The LS50 were birthed to celebrate KEF’s 50th Anniversary. It makes me wonder if KEF has an active LS50 waiting in the wings? Both can get you ripped but the latter takes one’s palette through more complex flavours. It’s the difference between a Jack + coke and a modestly priced single malt. They sound simultaneously punctilious and suave. The LS50 are warmer in the midrange, more inviting and enveloping and – with the right amplifier attached – FAR more dynamic. In case you’re in any doubt (and as good as the X300A are) the LS50 outclass their powered siblings in almost every respect. Before swiping the credit card on a pair of LS50 at Apollo Hi-fi in Sydney’s inner west, I first took time with the X300A to furnish readers with some broader context on KEF’s Uni-Q coaxial designs (trickled down from the Blade). KEF’s X300A powered loudspeakers caught my eye – I winked back. Here’s the spec skinny (for those who can’t be bothered with the above click-clack):ĭrivers: 5.25″ aluminium-magnesium alloy woofer, 1″ wave-guided aluminium tweeter, “Uni-Q” coaxial configuration, crossed over at 2.2kHz, 79Hz-28kHz frequency response, 85db sensitivity.īoxes: 12″ x 8″ x 11″ dimensions, MDF construction except convex polymer front baffle (to minimise diffraction), elliptical rear port with flexi-foam mid-section (to minimise chuffing/distortion), vertical and horizontal internal bracing.Īhead of (this) LS50 coverage proper there would be a minor (de)tour. John Chillari of Sydney’s Apollo Hifi with the KEF LS50 …however, my personal interest only intensified. Inner Fidelity (Steve Guttenberg again).Months passed and as the reviews tumbled down my professional interest began to wane. How could I further advance a conversation that was already bursting with accolades? Having first heard them sometime in mid 2012 and then again later that year at RMAF, I’ve been pestering KEF HQ about a review pair for some time. In getting to my door, KEF’s LS50 (AU$1999) took the long way around.

Ambient lighting and longdays increased plug height and final plant height for some cultivars. Light quality from either metalhalide or high-pressure sodium lighting apparently had little effect,indicating that both types of lights are acceptable. Plugs grown under HIDlighting and short days were the shortest. Without HID lighting, cultivars thatnormally root rapidly will be ready to transplant in 10-14 days slow-rootingcultivars will be ready to transplant in 17-24 days. HID lighting improved rooting during low-light times of theyear, especially for slow-rooting cultivars such as Cascadia Charme, and willreduce time to transplanting by 7-10 days. ![]() Petunia cultivars examined included'Cascadia Charme', 'Cascadia Improved Charlie','Petitunia Bright Dream', 'Doubloon Blue Star','Marco Polo Odyssey' and 'Pocket Petunia' calibrachoastested included 'Liricashower Rose' and 'ColorburstViolet'. Anumber of factors were examined that influence flowering and branching,including photoperiod, plug flat density, Florel application, light intensity,light quality and fertilizer rate. Our research goal was to develop high-quality, highlybranched, compact vegetatively propagated petunia and calibrachoa plugs. A renewed focus on the Calibrachoa genus has resultedin the introduction of several new cultivar series in the last few years.Calibrachoa have a more limited color range than petunias but finer-texturedfoliage, a more pronounced trailing habit and abundant, small, single flowers. The calibrachoa (Calibrachoa hybrids) is considered a newspecies in the floriculture trade, but actually has been in cultivation sincethe early 19th Century. Since then several series of great vegetativelypropagated petunias have been released, expanding the range of growth habits,colors and degrees of doubleness offered. ![]() The seed-propagated 'Wave' series was also introduced and has similar characteristics, but a more restricted color range. Supertunias are vegetatively propagated because this group produces few if any seed. axillaris genetics broughta greater emphasis on vigorous, trailing growth and postproduction durability.The first of the new cultivars were released in the early 1990s with the introductions of 'Supertunias'. Of course, theoriginal seed-propagated bedding petunia is a hybrid between P. Most vegetatively propagated petunias are hybrids betweenthe bedding petunia (Petunia x hybrida) and Petunia axillaris. In the following article we will discuss how to cost-effectively grow petunias and calibrachoas with an emphasis on the areas we have been researching: propagation and growth (vine) control. The vigor ofpetunias and calibrachoa, while great for consumers, presents a challenge togrowers - too much of a good thing can make for tangled plants and shipping problems. These closely related species offerconsumers rapid growth, a wide range of colors and durability. Two stars of the booming vegetatively propagated beddingplant market are petunias and calibrachoa. We look forward to supporting Hypixel Studios’ journey through the development process, helping them grow, and learning from them as well.” Now, as they prepare to enter the next chapter, we’re thrilled to take our partnership to the next level through this acquisition. “Over the last 18 months, we’ve been fortunate to advise Hypixel Studios as they build toward their vision for evolving a game genre that reaches an incredibly diverse range of players around the globe. “We’ve known the team behind Hypixel Studios for several years, and from the start they’ve been the kind of visionaries that we aspire to support a passionate studio committed to delivering a groundbreaking, genre-defining experience for players,” said Dylan Jadeja, President of Riot Games.

Yet he hardly had less faith in them for all that-he had other reasons for finding his results "physically plausible," and often those plausibility arguments hung on his intuitions and imagery. In fact, he often emphasized up front that many of the results he was reporting had not yet been rigorously derived, and that perhaps they couldn't be (at least not by himself). In most of his articles during this period, he made it clear that he was introducing handy calculational approaches rather than rigorously derived results. Feynman was definitely a visual thinker-no question about it. Would you say that Feynman was a visual thinker? Do you think his visual approach to these diagrams gave him insight into thinking about these invisible worlds different from his colleagues who worked only with numbers?ĭ. And so he began his doodlings in the late 1940s.į. He decided first to try to take charge of the algebraic morass, streamlining the laborious algebraic manipulations, before worrying about the mysteries of the infinities. After the war, a new crop of young theoretical physicists, including Feynman, returned to QED and its problems. Worse, these nasty calculations almost always returned infinity, even when physicists asked straightforward questions. In the early days of quantum electrodynamics (QED) in the 1920s and 1930s, calculations were notoriously convoluted, the algebra often spilling over seven and eight lines just to calculate a single quantity. Can you give us a historical perspective on when and why Feynman began his drawings?ĭ. WHERE TO BUY: Now available at LOOKFANTASTIC £23.

One of the Seven Sages, Zinzolin, appears in an antagonistic role, yet former sage Rood will help the player. Over the course of their journey, the player and Hugh will have numerous encounters with both current and former members of Team Plasma, as well as the mysterious scientist Colress. Though filling the traditional rival role, Hugh is not pursuing the Pokémon League challenge: it is revealed that he is trying to recover a stolen Pokémon from Team Plasma, who were not disbanded two years prior as expected. A boy from the player's hometown, Hugh, will travel with the player at certain times.

That could happen across like 25 per cent of your genome, which would be a huge amount. But if our mother and our father are brother and sister, then we have a good chance of having a lot of the same genes that both came from grandpa, and a lot of the same genes that both came from grandma.Īnd so we might get … the same copy of the same gene from … either one of your grandparents. We get a copy of the same genes from our mother and our father, right. What's happening in places where you see more individuals that are showing these odd patterns is that those populations have higher levels of inbreeding. Larison is an assistant adjunct professor in the department of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of California, Los Angeles. But if they have two copies of that version of the gene, then they're not normally striped. In other words, you need to have two copies of the same version of the gene that causes it in order to see that expressed in the individual.Īn individual could have one copy of and be perfectly normally striped. We've been trying to figure out what genetically causes the pattern, and so our suspicion has been that it's a recessive trait. And there's one in Rwanda that maybe has 10 per cent of the population with these spotted types of patterns. So you've got maybe five per cent of the population. Whereas … you could go to a park in Uganda called Lake Mburo, which has maybe about 150, 200 zebras, and see five or six of them, you know. If you think about Etosha National Park in Namibia, which has probably 30,000 zebras, you can go on a trip and spend a week, as I have done, going throughout the entire park and see one or two. It's fairly rare to see, but in some populations it is increasing. How common is it that there would be these aberrations in the coats of zebras? And those ones I don't have any samples of as yet, but those are probably the most rare ones to see. The bodies … look like they're black with white stripes on the legs and then more of a polka dot body. ![]() I think I remember a few years ago seeing … a photo of a foal that they were describing as having polka dots rather than stripes. Larison says researchers suspect that these abnormal zebra patterns are a recessive trait. So they look very strange.Ī zebra with unique spots in the middle of its body. But these animals look as if the stripes kind of started growing in the middle of their torso and tried to spread outward to the extremities, but got stuck.Īnd so they have these odd, mottled, weird looking stripes, a lot of black on their body, and their legs and face are almost all white with just the tiniest strips of black. The ones that we studied have spots on the saddle or kind of faded area on the saddle instead of stripes.Īnother type is what we call pseudo-melanistic, because melanism causes a pure black animal. Some people have probably seen the blond ones in the news, as we call them, which just have blond coloured stripes instead of black. So describe what a zebra without those stripes looks like. She spoke with The Current's Matt Galloway about her research.Ī lot of people have an idea of what a zebra looks like. The International Union for Conservation of Nature estimated there were about 500,000 plains zebras as of 2016. Habitat fragmentation happens when a large habitat area is broken up into smaller areas by human-made developments like fences or roads.Īccording to the study, the total population of plains zebras has declined by about 25 per cent since 2002. The researchers say it could be a consequence of habitat fragmentation. They found increased levels of inbreeding among zebra populations with unusual patterns on their coats. In a study published in the journal Molecular Ecology, Brenda Larison and other researchers looked at DNA from 140 plains zebras across Africa, including seven with abnormal stripes. A biologist studying abnormal stripe patterns in zebras says humans could be partly to blame for their strange look - and that it could be an early sign of problems for the species. |
