![]() ![]() DNA testing is done usually with a blood sample or a few plucked feathers that are sent to be diagnosed in a lab. Endoscopy can be done by many veterinarians. On these birds, the sex must be determined by either a surgical probe, endoscopy, or by a DNA testing. However the eye coloration is not so pronounced on some species. This helps to determine the sex of the bird. On most species of Cockatoo, the eye iris of the female will become red to red-brown after about two years. Cockatoos are thought to be the longest lived of all parrots with examples cited of the Greater Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo having lived over 100 years. It is difficult to determine the age of a cockatoo, however young cockatoos will have a beak that is smooth and pale and their plumage will be paler, while an older bird’s beak will be darker and have striations and their plumage will have a fuller coloration. Their beaks are enormously powerful and they can easily demolish objects. They have “erectile crests”, which is a mobile crest of feathers. These birds both look and behave differently than any of the other parrots, and are some of the longest lived.Ĭockatoos mostly have a single color plumage, either white or dark. ![]() A cockatoo can take apart or demolish a wooden toy in no time! The term “cockatoo” is a Malaysian word thought to have possibly two meanings, “pincher” or “old father”. The term ‘pincher’ is definitely descriptive as the cockatoos have extremely powerful beaks. They are found in the tropical rainforests which are wet with high temperatures, on the grassy plains, and on the dry savannahs. Cockatoos in the wild are found in three very distinct ranges. The cockatoos natural habitats are found over large areas of Australia and Indonesia. See these types of cockatoos in the Cockatoo Family Distribution: Having two will help to prevent bad habits from developing by a bored bird. Bored cockatoos are notorious for developing bad habits such as screeching and feather plucking. However, two pet cockatoos can be ideal if you are not able to devote so much time and attention as the bird will demand. You will need to spend a good deal of time playing with it and sharing affections on a regular daily basis. A single cockatoo will thrive as your pet only if you devote time and attention to it. A happy cockatoo spends most of its waking time performing, or examining and manipulating its toys and other cage objects.īecause of their loving quailties and intelligence, Cockatoos have a very high need for attention, affection, and interaction. These birds are very active and curious about their environment. On top of that, Cockatoos are very intelligent and inquisitive birds, and they love to show off!Ī Cockatoo will make comical displays with outspread wings, head bobbing, dancing, and loud calls.

Not leveling your RV risks personal injury as well as the possibility of broken or destroyed/malfunctioned items. When the rig is not level, you quite literally could be opening up cabinets, drawers, or doors on an RV and have stuff fly at you. However, one might come across this more often when they choose to go away from campgrounds and park their RV in the open wilderness somewhere. Many campgrounds are level in several spots but they’ll also have unlevel areas all over. You’re likely not going to be on entirely level ground when you park an RV. That is why you want to use proper leveling blocks, and we’re going to tell you how. Typically, you’ll back up to place all the tire(s) on the leveler, allowing the RV to remain in place and level the entire time you’re parked. These blocks will bring your RV to a proper level point. In simple terms, RV leveling blocks are plastic blocks that you place under the wheels of an RV to keep the rig entirely balanced and horizontal.

My whole aluminium case starts resonating like an engine when they run this high unless i stand it on foam. In windows, there is AMD radion software that more or less lets me do what i want, although doesn't allow you to be as specific as GreenWithEnvy did.įrom the tests that I did with the software on windows, this cards GPU temperature stays well under 70 degrees even when gaming and I had set the fan speed to 34% (and interestingly 30% is the lowest they can go). However, the default profile is too loud for me to tolerate. The cooling is actually pretty impressive compared to my old card. I don't want to mess around trying to overclock memory - my main priority is to try and get the fans to be quieter. After asking around, there was some pretty good software called GreenWithEnvy that allowed me to set extremely specific profiles for fan speed and GPU temperature. I ended up going for a new motherboard and AMD GPU instead. I've recently been having a nightmare with Nvidia and Ubuntu with my specific motherboard. After all, the video card is not designed for any and all standard case fans, and for adding extra fans to its outputs.There may be some similar threads, but they are rather old. Then you also need to know the limit of the power the video card can send to its fans. Before doing that you would need to know whether the video card's fan signals are really the same as a standard case fan uses. That way the fan would be powered and controlled by the video card, not by the mobo. My last possibility would require a bunch more custom work and some preliminary info search first, and might void the video card warranty! Since the card has its own cooling fan and its own fan speed control system based on the card's own temp sensor, you MIGHT be able to tap into the fan power (and speed) control system on the CARD and feed those signals out also to an external standard case fan. ![]() This would "over-cool" the mobo, but would increase air flow in the video card area. You could just tell the header that controls fan(s) that blow toward the video card to run faster than the normal pre-defined curve would do. Maybe that is how you can change your card's settings to run its fan faster at high temperatures.Īnother possibility is to use that common feature of the mobo SYS_FAN headers that allows you to specify your own custom fan speed control curve, even though it is still based on the temperature sensor on the mobo, and NOT on the video card temp. As I said, many video card makers' card management tools include a way to observe what their own on-card cooling fan control system is doing AND allow you to customize that, just as you can create custom fan cooling curves for a CASE fan controlled by the mobo header. However, that does offer another route for you to investigate. I have to presume that they can only work on cards that the software maker has all the secret non-standard suff for and that you must customize the software a bit when you install it. There are some third-party fan control software tools that include the ability to control the video card fan system. So obviously they have a way to make their card's temp sensor info available through the PCIe bus, but there's still so standard way that a mobo maker could rely on. Many video cards come with management software that somehow can display the cards' temperature, and ALSO allows YOU to set up your own version of how the card's cooling fan responds to temperature changes. Other video card makers have a small part of this done, but not so you could use it. So, on some of their mobos IF you also install one of that same maker's video cards, this trick can be done. There is at least one mobo maker who also makes video cards, and they have created their own "brand-specific" non-standard way to do this. So no mobo maker can be sure that any video card plugged into its slots will give it such info to use for fan control. The root of this problem is that there never has been any industry-standard way for an added video card (in a PCIe slot, typically) to send out to the mobo the video card temperature sensor signal. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But privacy policies - as boring as they are to read - are there for this exact reason.

If you go the route of only maxing out a few Social Links make sure you do a variety. What I mean is, if you are level 40 and you create a level 40 Persona that's tied to a level 10 Social Link of yours it will gain experience that puts it above your level and still be usable. The only reason for raising some of the SL but not maxing it is because you can create Persona's above your level if they gain that experience via your Social Link. If you are a completionist I recommend that route over leaving a lot of Social Links half finished. You of course can focus on a few Social Links too and primarily keep an eye out for Personas of that type. Throughout the game you are going to be frequently switching Personas so the smartest thing to do for a beginner is try and cover as many Social Links as possible. Truthfully the best approach in Persona is to befriend as many people as possible as the first few ranks of each Social Link are usually super easy to get. If you are new to the game and especially the Persona universe you're probably wondering what Social Links are the ones most worth focusing on. If you're having trouble keeping up all your attributes and exploring Tartarus each night I strongly recommend you check out my guide on how to make the most of each day. For example in order to unlock the Moon Social Link you'll need at least "Unpolished Charm". Some of them you can only unlock at a certain time and some require higher than average Academics, Charm and Courage to unlock. Not all Social Links are available to you by default in the game like the Fool and the Magician are. Leveling up a Social Link will not grant you any active benefits for the Personas you already have made but each time you go to create a new Persona you'll gain experience for it depending on what level your Social Link is at. For example, if you're hanging out with Kenji and you keep telling him to go for it and chase the woman he loves your Magician Social Link will improve. Each time your friendship improves with someone in the game your corresponding Social Link will increase. One could say that Social Links are essentially the Side Quests of Persona and as such they aren't required of you to do but are extremely helpful in making you more powerful throughout the game. Two of the very first Social Links you get in Persona 3 are the Fool and the Magician.

In September, Durham obtained an indictment against then-Perkins Coie law firm partner Michael Sussmann for allegedly lying to the FBI when he offered a tip in 2016 about the possible secret electronic channel between Trump's company and a Russian bank.

It notes that the FBI's applications for warrants related to Page heavily relied on Steele's reports to Fusion GPS, which were based on information Danchenko had collected. The indictment charges that Danchenko's lies had a major impact on the FBI's investigation of the Trump campaign. The indictment says that Danchenko "never received such a phone call or such information" from that person and that he never arranged to meet that person in New York, as he has claimed to FBI agents. "The information purportedly conveyed by the anonymous caller included the allegation that there were communications ongoing between the Trump campaign and Russian officials and that the caller had indicated the Kremlin might be of help in getting Trump elected," Durham's office said in a press release.

Out of all the possible reasons that nudged people up or down the commitment scale, there was one that stood out as actually predicting whether a couple would break up: cheating. ![]() A couple’s existing dynamics play a large role too. This finding is further evidence that events by themselves – say, a worldwide pandemic – aren’t the sole determinant of a relationship’s fate. Interestingly, this kind of life change could either increase or decrease an individual’s commitment to the relationship. The next-most-mentioned reason was circumstances – unforeseen events or experiences such job loss, a partner becoming ill or needing to move. These included direct statements about the partner – such as “he was fun, considerate and kind” – or about them as a couple – such as “we were drifting apart.” As you’d expect, positive statements related more to increased commitment, while negative statements were associated with declines. The most influential reasons were positive and negative characterizations of the partner and relationship. The researchers distilled them down to 14 key themes. Participants expressed a lot of reasons for commitment fluctuations – 13,598, to be exact. At each of eight monthly interviews, 464 participants indicated how serious their relationship was by rating how likely it was they’d marry their current partner – “0% if they were certain they would never marry their partner or never thought about marriage, and 100% if they were certain they would marry their partner in the future.” Each time their “commitment to wed” percentage shifted from one interview to the next, researchers asked why. Relationship researchers Laura Machia and Brian Ogolsky sought to find out by interviewing participants in stable relationships. What contributes to these variations in commitment? Relationship decisions are rarely as clear cut as “should I stay or should I go?” Instead, people experience subtle shifts in their commitment that build up over time. ![]() It lends some order to the chaos by helping to identify what’s most important. That relationship doubts are so common and people are often conflicted about what to do are what make this kind of research potentially helpful. See the problem? Participants were motivated to stay with their partner at the same time they were motivated to end things. However, those same exact people simultaneously had an above-average inclination to leave, meaning they rated themselves as leaning toward breaking up. Roughly half of these participants reported feeling, on balance, more inclined to stay in the troubled relationship. How do individuals factor them into real-life decisions of whether to stay or go? To find out, the researchers did a follow-up study with over 200 people who were contemplating breaking up or getting a divorce. These included many of the same themes as the reasons to stay, but focused on the negative side – things like a partner’s problematic personality, acts of deception or cheating, emotional distance, lack of support and insufficient emotional or physical intimacy. Participants also suggested 23 general reasons to leave. They also factored in practical issues, including potential family disruption and financial implications. They considered pluses, such as the desirable aspects of their partner’s personality and how much fun they had together. People were reluctant to lose the time and effort they had already invested and were fearful of being alone. These focused on key relationship components such as attraction, physical and emotional intimacy and support. People came up with 27 broad reasons for staying. Out of all the specific circumstances, 50 common themes emerged. To learn more about what people actually consider, psychology researchers Samantha Joel, Geoff Macdonald and Elizabeth Page-Gould asked over 400 individuals who were questioning their own relationship: “ What are some reasons someone might give for wanting to stay with or leave their romantic partner?” It feels as if there could be as many reasons someone would decide to maintain or end a relationship as there are relationships. ![]() |
