![]() The dodo was variously declared a small ostrich, a rail, an albatross, or a vulture, by early scientists. ![]() Skull in the Zoological Museum of Copenhagen, examination of which led to the dodo being classified as a pigeon in 1842 The dodo achieved widespread recognition from its role in the story of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and it has since become a fixture in popular culture, often as a symbol of extinction and obsolescence. The extinction of the dodo within less than a century of its discovery called attention to the previously unrecognised problem of human involvement in the disappearance of entire species. Since then, a large amount of subfossil material has been collected on Mauritius, mostly from the Mare aux Songes swamp. Among these is a dried head, the only soft tissue of the dodo that remains today. In the 19th century, research was conducted on a small quantity of remains of four specimens that had been brought to Europe in the early 17th century. Its extinction was not immediately noticed, and some considered it to be a myth. The last widely accepted sighting of a dodo was in 1662. In the following years, the bird was hunted by sailors and invasive species, while its habitat was being destroyed. The first recorded mention of the dodo was by Dutch sailors in 1598. Though the dodo has historically been portrayed as being fat and clumsy, it is now thought to have been well-adapted for its ecosystem. It is presumed that the dodo became flightless because of the ready availability of abundant food sources and a relative absence of predators on Mauritius. One account states its clutch consisted of a single egg. It used gizzard stones to help digest its food, which is thought to have included fruits, and its main habitat is believed to have been the woods in the drier coastal areas of Mauritius. It has been depicted with brownish-grey plumage, yellow feet, a tuft of tail feathers, a grey, naked head, and a black, yellow, and green beak. Since these portraits vary considerably, and since only some of the illustrations are known to have been drawn from live specimens, the dodos' exact appearance in life remains unresolved, and little is known about its behaviour. The dodo's appearance in life is evidenced only by drawings, paintings, and written accounts from the 17th century. Subfossil remains show the dodo was about 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) tall and may have weighed 10.6–17.5 kg (23–39 lb) in the wild. ![]() A white dodo was once thought to have existed on the nearby island of Réunion, but it is now believed that this assumption was merely confusion based on the also-extinct Réunion ibis and paintings of white dodos. The closest living relative of the dodo is the Nicobar pigeon. The two formed the subfamily Raphinae, a clade of extinct flightless birds that were a part of the family which includes pigeons and doves. The dodo's closest genetic relative was the also-extinct Rodrigues solitaire. The dodo ( Raphus cucullatus) is an extinct flightless bird that was endemic to the island of Mauritius, which is east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean.

![]() Halloween or not, it’s a great set of spooky cartoons. I’ve been enjoying the just released Halloween Haunts set from Tommy Stathes ‘Cartoons on Film’. There’s a lot of Halloween-esque cartoons made over the years of course, and It’s started to be a yearly tradition here at Cartoon Research to ask what your favorite Halloween cartoons are and what you’re watching as well.

In addition, it is important to build in a margin of error to allow for any inaccuracies in the data. There are a number of different methods that can be used to estimate accrued expenses, and it is important to select the most appropriate method for the particular circumstances. Whichever method is used, it is important to estimate the amount of expense which close to the actual amount.

The Spot 325 has a long battery life, strong overall durability, and convenient features. The Spot has been at the top of our list since we first started testing headlamps, and the updated 325 model gives us the same features we’ve always loved and a few key improvements: It has 25 more lumens than the old model, and its top buttons are much more intuitive to use than the single button on the older models. We picked the Black Diamond Spot 325 after 40 hours of research and testing in 2019 alone, on top of the testing done since 2012. When you're working under a sink or behind a washer or dryer, it’s tough for a big work light to beat a headlamp. The DCD701F2 also comes with a nice belt hook, and the battery gauge is on each battery rather than on the tool, so you can check batteries without having to insert them into the drill. The battery is designed so that the drill can stand upright when not in use, and the LED is positioned such that it illuminates the drill front better than most. The molded handle seems to account for every curve and bulge of the hand, making this drill the most comfortable we’ve ever held. The DeWalt 12-volt’s power is on a par with that of some of the other drills we looked at, but it particularly excels in ergonomics and convenience features. In our tests, it bored 30 1-inch holes through a 2-by-10 on a single battery charge-results that show it can handle just about anything within the four walls of a home. Drill/Driver Kit is the best one for around-the-house needs.

Also the undersides of the wings aren't really as beautifull as the main top wing. So as you may have guessed, while I think the set looks pretty good, there are a lot of spots where inner mecanisms are holes can be found. I'm not a fan of the "lower parts count" policy of Lego in the latest Star Wars sets, as it affects the look of the model too much for me. The Imperial Shuttle looks quite nice when its wings are deployed. The landing gears are reduced to a couple of parts. ![]() The mecanism is quite robust, and you can lift the shuttle by its top wing. There is a clever lever that allow to open or close the top of the shuttle. There are no clips to attach the mnifigures' weapons.

The build is rather easy to follow throughout the 6 numbered bags, each of it bringing key elements of the shuttle. The Imperial Shuttle Pilot is the same minifig that was included in 2017/2018 sets, but with a slightly different torso.
