![]() It also occurs in mangroves and plantations including coconut and agricultural land. It occurs in primary, logged, and secondary forests below 900m. Records from Obi and Bisa ( Obi group) are thought to be introductions, while a local introduced population breeds on Taiwan. Lifespan in the wild is unknown but believed to be as much as ten years less.Ĭacatua alba is endemic to lowland tropical rainforest on the Moluccan islands of Halmahera, Bacan, Ternate, Tidore, Kasiruta and Mandioli ( Bacan group) in North Maluku, Indonesia. Anecdotal reports suggest it can live longer. A few zoos report that they live 40–60 years in captivity. The maximal lifespan of the white cockatoo is poorly documented. In common with other cockatoos and parrots, the white cockatoo has zygodactyl feet with two toes facing forward and two facings backward, which enable it to grasp objects with one foot while standing on the other, for feeding and manipulation. The feathers of this species and others create a powder similar to talcum powder that easily transfers to clothing. Short white feathers grow from and closely cover the upper legs. Similarly, areas of larger tail feathers that are covered by other tail feathers – and the innermost covered areas of the larger crest feathers – are yellow. 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. ![]()

![]() ![]() Material: Microfiber cover and memory foam fill | Height: 24 inches | Sizes: 2 feet and 3 feet | Certifications: None listed Return Policy: Dependant on retailer If you have a household with pets, this is worth noting. When hair and Cheerios were scattered over the bean bag, it took several passes for the hair to be sucked up by a handheld vacuum. While this chair ranked high in comfort and size, we do think it could be made from higher-quality material, as it didn’t seem quite as durable as other products we tested. It has a microsuede cover that comes in a variety of colors, and there are several sizes to choose from, as well, including 2- and 3-foot options. We tested the 3-foot option and found it to be a great size for one adult, while the 2-foot option may be better suited for kids and teens. (The foam filling also prevents a huge mess if the bag ever breaks.) We really liked the bag’s clean and structured appearance, and we think it would look great in a living space. The Sofa Sack Bean Bag Chair looks like a classic bean bag, but it’s actually filled with memory foam stuffing that makes it cozy and comfortable to sit in. Material: Cotton-spandex cover and EPS beads | Height: 24 inches | Sizes: One size fits all | Certifications: None listed | Return Policy: 14 days from delivery When the Yogibo was laid flat on the ground, multiple people were able to sit side-by-side comfortably, making it a top pick for busier households. The Yogibo Max is one of the larger bean bags on this list, but we still found that it was light enough to move around with ease and required only one person to move from one location to another.Īlthough the Yogibo scored just below the Sofa Sack Ultra Soft Bean Bag Chair, we deemed it our Best Overall winner because of its versatile design and larger size. We liked its oversized form, which can accommodate up to four people at a time, and we found that it does a great job cradling your body to keep you comfortable in any position. The Yogibo Max comes in more than a dozen color options, and its washable cover is made from a comfy cotton-spandex blend. Conforming to your body to relieve pressure points, it provides cocoon-like coziness while you read, watch TV, or play video games. This versatility is in part what made us rank it as our top pick. The Yogibo Max isn’t your average bean bag chair: It’s 72 inches long and 24 inches tall, allowing it to be used as a chair, a recliner, a bed, or even a couch. ![]() The Spruce Home Improvement Review Board. ![]() ![]() They are arrogant and self-absorbed, not willing to share their knowledge, but beat you over the head with it until your covered in metaphorical blood and shame for your alleged lack of interest or concern about Mother Nature. ![]() The three eco-terrorists of the film are not very likable people. ![]() They split up and cut connections with each other, but grow weary of one another possibly ratting out the entire group when the rush of guilt becomes too difficult to bear. However, they now have a mess on their hands and must deal with it in their own manner. They never intended to injure or kill the sheep of the country, but rather, just inform them of what their actions are doing to the ecosystem. In true indie- film fashion, we are focused on what the bombing's long- term effects are on the film's characters, who feel guilt when they learn the rush of the dam currents drowned a man camping near the explosion. We only hear the ammonium nitrate activating and exploding and do not see the actual explosion occurring, nor do we need to, for this isn't that kind of film. A great deal of the last hour shows the mental effect the actual bombing has on its characters. The film is ten minutes shy of two hours and makes diligent use of its time. Reichardt, nor the film's trio of environmentalists, are in any particular hurry whatsoever. She chooses to shoot everything through a lens of softness, making good use of natural sound, light, and other devices to help the story move forward. Co-writer/director Reichardt follows these characters in a way that's quiet, low-key, and not very menacing, given the subject matter, ripe for commentary and subjectivity. John and Dena have come up with an elaborate plan to stage the bombing, but it's up to Harmon to actually construct the bomb, using ammonium nitrate among other things, to help carry out the attack. The three radical environmentalists are John (Jesse Eisenberg), Dena (Dakota Fanning), and Harmon (Peter Sarsgaard). Think about that last sentence and find the flaw in their young minds. The film concerns a group of three young, arrogant eco-terrorists, so concerned about the environment and so appalled by the blatant corporatism of America that they decide to set an example and wake-up the sheep of the country but staging an explosion of a hydroelectric dam in Oregon. Kelly Reichardt's Night Moves, if nothing else, proves that the radical environmentalists of our time can be just as irritating as those who hold up signs blasting the alleged lies of global warming at crowded, echo-chamber rallies. ![]() ![]() ![]() There’s no lack of ambition in Muschietti’s approach or Gary Dauberman’s script (although the contrast shows just how much Cary Fukanaga’s long-time development of Chapter One’s screenplay might have helped the finished film) but the epic scope proves something of a stumbling block. Elsewhere, Jessica Chastain makes a great Bev and Jay Ryan plays hunky softie Ben to a tee, but few of the others (especially James McAvoy’s self-centred writer Bill) get much of an opportunity to shine. Even though the film leans (often inappropriately) on his comic timing, his take on trash-mouthed Ritchie tests the full range of his dramatic ability too, generating more heartfelt moments than big laughs. Where the younger actors (who are similarly great in their return appearances) had such amazing chemistry in Chapter One, we can only invest in individual efforts here.īill Hader absolutely steals the show. While you’d expect to see this sort of nostalgia from a belated follow-up or legacy-quel, there are an awful lot of callbacks to a film that came out only two years ago, and it does the adult actors no favours. Chapter One was hardly brisk, but it kept the suspense going nicely, whereas the sequel almost immediately splits up its grown-up characters and leans much too heavily on flashbacks to their childhoods, which feel more like additional material from the previous instalment. In this regard, Chapter Two commits to being less of a horror film than the first instalment, continuing all the same plot threads but significantly dialling back the scare factor. Despite the neat underlining of the town’s toxic, gaslighting environment in the prologue, the film spends more than an hour separating the adult characters and having them go on separate fetch-quests for a reason that’s impossible to take seriously. This includes certain sequences that fans have been dying to see, ranging from a horrific reunion at a Chinese restaurant to an encounter with a living Paul Bunyan statue, but also the idea that the Losers have lost all memory of their childhood experiences. The sequel starts promisingly, with a genuinely distressing sequence taken straight from the book, but with a whopping 169-minute running time, it stretches itself wildly over multiple plot strands in its unerring faithfulness to the source material. To paraphrase Whitney Houston, IT Chapter Two’s not right, but it’s OK. ![]() Of the original Losers’ Club, only Mike (Isaiah Mustafa) has remained in their hometown of Derry, leaving him to rally Bill (James McAvoy), Beverly (Jessica Chastain), Ben (Jay Ryan), Ritchie (Bill Hader), and Eddie (James Ransome) when the no-good clown resurfaces again. ![]() Muschietti and most of the IT crowd are back for the sequel, but could Chapter Two ever measure up?Īdapting the back-half of Stephen King’s mammoth novel, the film picks up in 2015, 26 years after Pennywise’s last appearance. “People love your book, but they hate that ending.” IT Chapter One was always going to be a tough act to follow – Andy Muschietti’s 2017 horror film was a genuine phenomenon, capturing the filmgoing public’s imagination and scaling hitherto-unseen box-office heights for an R-rated horror film. However, instead of continuing the trend that It: Chapter One created, It: Chapter Two runs in the opposite direction, and significantly deters you because of it.Cast: Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy, Bill Hader, Jay Ryan, James Ransome, Isaiah Mustafa, Bill Skarsgård ![]() Instead of allowing the extraordinariness of a King story dominate the film, It: Chapter One is surprisingly grounded, allowing the horror to come out of its themes to help us better understand and relate to the ideas of fear, isolation, and growing up. However, weirdness can only go so far if not executed properly, and that’s why It: Chapter One was a delightful surprise. We know him for his strange creatures, cosmic ideas, and his twisted stories that keep us from sleeping at night. Stephen King is one of the most well-known authors of our generation. ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() ![]() This Youtube video by Brainstuff highlights how different there are actually different “colors” of noises, like pink noise or brown noise, and how noise can be used outside of just sleep. ![]() Keep in mind that not all of the sounds from your machine are white noise, which is similar to fan noise. This way, you can have more variety depending on your mood and current needs. Ask yourself whether you are more comfortable with nature sounds, does your mind feed more calm around white noise, or would you prefer fan sounds? A good tip is to get a sound machine for sleep or a white noise machine containing 20 to 30 sounds. When picking a noise machine, you need to find something that matches your particular sleeping pattern. People have different sleeping requirements. The following list contains some of the things you should remember when buying a sound machine for sleep: Sound variety Things To Consider When Buying Sound Machines for Sleep This buyer’s guide can help you with analyzing the useful factors that you should look for in these types of sleep products. Before you buy your white noise machine, it is essential to find the right product that matches your needs so you can achieve the level of sleep you want. These machines produce white noise and other ambient noises to help you sleep. Sound machines for sleep are a newer way of helping people maintain a more regular sleep cycle. How To Buy a High-Quality Sound Machine for Sleep: A Buyer’s Guide ![]() ![]() The other goal of these calls is to steal personal information like the person’s full name, social security number, and birthdate to use for identity theft or other types of fraud. Usually, these calls are designed to steal money by asking for payment details over the phone, such as a credit card or bank account details. On average, Americans receive 300 million spam calls per day. Along with many telemarketing calls, most Americans also receive spam calls. Telecommunications laws govern phone services, but that doesn’t stop scammers from waging attacks on innocent victims. This is just one of many techniques scammers use to exploit phone services. Scammers use sophisticated equipment to “spoof” a phone number making the caller ID show something familiar or local rather than the real number so that the recipient will pick up the call. Another issue complicating the mix is spoofed calls. It can quickly become confusing when trying to locate a person connected to a phone number. In addition, other companies like Twilio offer bundled communications to provide phone, email, SMS messaging, voicemail, video, chat, and other platforms for businesses. Now, there are mobile phones through various carriers along with internet-enabled phone services like VOIP (voice over IP), pre-paid phone numbers and burner numbers. In the past, there were only landlines running from the phone company to people’s houses and a phone book (white pages) to look up numbers. Phone records originate from phone companies and services.
