Maine Coons are famous for their long, fluffy coats, so if you notice your Maine Coon tail thinning, you may need to visit the vet.
While tail thinning does not always indicate a medical problem, it is always better to be safe than sorry!
If a Maine Coon’s tail starts thinning, it can indicate several medical problems including parasites, infection, dry skin, allergies, and more. However, a Maine Coon’s tail can become thin due to natural reasons such as shedding. If your Maine Coon’s thin tail is accompanied by itching or excessive grooming, it is time to visit the vet.
If you are worried about your Maine Coon’s thin tail or coat, do not fret!
While thin tails often indicate an underlying health problem like parasites or infection, it is usually easy to treat or may not even be a health concern at all!
Read on to find out why your Maine Coon’s tail is looking a little thin, and what you can do to fix it.
Causes of Maine Coon Tail Thinning
The Maine Coon is a giant cat breed with many unique features that have helped them adapt to the cold, snowy climate of Maine.
Perhaps the most notable physical trait of a Maine Coon is its luxurious, triple-coat of long fur.
Maine Coons also have incredibly thick, fluffy tails and they are known for their amazing Maine Coon tail length, which usually reaches 12 to 18 inches in length!
But do all Maine Coons have long tails? Read this guide to find out!
Healthy Maine Coons have thick, shiny coats that are semi-water-repellant.
If you are wondering why is my cat’s tail thinning, though, then it could indicate that your cat is dealing with some health issues.
One of the most common reasons for a cat to lose fur on its tail is parasites, especially fleas.
These parasites cause itchiness, which can lead to overgrooming.
This, in turn, can cause dry, scaly, red, or irritated skin, which can lead to fur loss.
Parasites often infest the base of a cat’s tail because it is the trickiest spot to reach.
These symptoms can be exacerbated if your cat has an allergy to the parasite infesting it.
If you are unsure how to apply flea treatment to your cat, use our step-by-step guide to help you.
Fungal or bacterial infections can also cause fur loss.
Ringworm is a highly contagious fungal infection that cats and humans alike are prone to catching.
Injuries, particularly cat bites, are prone to infection, as well.
If your cat has an infected wound, you need to visit the vet as soon as possible, as they can easily become deadly.
An injury such as a bite, scratch, or abrasion can cause your cat to lose fur at the site of the injury.
You may notice less hair than usual even after an injury has healed.
As scar tissue forms, your cat’s fur might not grow back, leading to permanent hair loss or thinning wherever the injury occurred.
If your cat is suffering from any aches or pains, it could begin to overgroom the affected area.
If your cat becomes aggressive or hisses whenever you touch the area with thinning fur, it is likely experiencing pain.
It is a good idea to visit your vet to rule out any serious problems.
Remember, though, that it is pretty common for senior cats to develop arthritis or random aches as they age.
If you notice a cat tail thinning quickly, it could be due to allergies.
Certain foods, plants, pollens, bugs, or even dust or mold can trigger allergic reactions in some cats.
Cat allergies tend to cause a lot of itching and dryness, which in turn leads to overgrooming as the cat tries to get rid of the discomfort.
Overgrooming, of course, will only make the affected area more dry, itchy, and painful, and can even lead to sores or lesions.
Your vet may want to test your cat for specific allergies, or you will simply have to use trial and error to find out which allergen is causing your cat so much discomfort.
Learn more about the specific Maine Coon allergies to be aware of, in this article.
In addition to this guide, it would also be worth owners being aware of the various Maine Coon food allergies that exist.
7. Stud Tail
As its name implies, stud tail is a condition that primarily affects unneutered male cats as they reach sexual maturity, although any cat can be affected by this condition.
Stud tail is a skin condition that results in increased oils and dandruff at the base of the tail.
The excess oil from the cat’s sebaceous glands clogs the cat’s pores, and the fur becomes quite greasy.
The affected area becomes red, sore, and inflamed, leading to a lot of discomfort and overgrooming, which can cause hair loss on the tail and base of the tail.

Do All Maine Coons Have Fluffy Tails?
If you notice a Maine Coon thin tail, you might be wondering if this is normal.
However, unless the Maine Coon is dealing with a medical condition or scarring, its tail should not be thin.
Maine Coons originated naturally in the snow state of Maine, which is known for its long, harsh winters.
These cats adapted to the freezing climate with wide paws to help them walk on snow, as well as thick fur.
While most cats have just two layers of fur, Maine Coons have three.
They have one outer guard layer, which is semi-water-repellent, and two thick underlayers to keep them insulated.
This triple coat occurs even on the Maine Coon’s tail, so a healthy Maine Coon’s tail should be very thick and fluffy.
However, the Maine Coon’s coat may become a bit thinner during the shedding season, which occurs in the spring and fall.
Furthermore, Maine Coon kittens have much thinner tails than adults. This is because their coats are still thin and underdeveloped for several months.
Why Is My Maine Coon Losing Hair?
Many conditions can lead to hair loss on a Maine Coon’s tail, but if you notice your cat losing fur throughout its whole body, there may be something else going on.
Here are some of the reasons why your Maine Coon is losing hair (source 1):
If you want to know why is my Mane Coon shedding so much, take a breath as you probably do not have anything to worry about. Especially if it is the Maine Coon shedding season.
Maine Coons will typically shed during the changing of the seasons, at the end of spring and fall.
The Maine Coon summer vs winter coat looks very different, so you should not expect your cat to look as fluffy when it is warm.
Although this breed is known for its lion-like mane around its neck and shoulders, this mane often disappears during the summer.
Maine Coons tend to shed much of their fluffy coats during pregnancy.
If you have a breeding queen who has suddenly lost her mane, do not worry!
Fluctuations in your cat’s hormones will affect every part of its body, including its fur.
Even getting a cat neutered or spayed can cause it to shed a lot.
Here are 4 Maine Coon hormone disorders that are potential issues for your cat though, so make sure you read this article to learn the signs and symptoms to watch out for.
Even health conditions that do not affect the skin and fur can have an impact on your cat’s shedding.
For example, if your cat contracts food poisoning or an illness that results in diarrhea and vomiting, it might still shed copiously because its entire body is dysregulated from the illness.
These are the Maine Coon health problems to watch out for.
Hyperthyroidism is a condition where a cat’s thyroid produces too much of the hormones T3 and T4.
Cats with hyperthyroidism typically eat and drink a lot more, but maintain or lose weight.
Other symptoms include:
A cat with hyperthyroidism is more likely to have dull, greasy fur, and their fur may start to thin or shed, as well.
For our complete guide to Maine Coon hyperthyroidism, click here.
Sadly, certain types of cancers can also cause fur loss.
If your cat has suddenly begun to shed excessively, keep an eye out for any other concerning symptoms such as:
It is important to take your cat to the vet as soon as possible so you can rule out cancer or any other serious medical condition.
Some cats tend to shed more or lose fur due to genetic conditions.
While Maine Coon cats are not known to be prone to genetic conditions that cause fur loss, if your cat is shedding chronically the root cause could very well be genetic.
Typically, genetic conditions that cause hair loss can result in some dryness or discomfort but are usually not dangerous or deadly.
Believe it or not, stress is an incredibly common reason for a cat to start losing its fur.
Cats are deeply affected by major changes to their living space and routine.
Bringing home a brand new baby, pet, or partner can all cause serious disruption to your cat’s mental health.
Something as drastic as moving to a new house or something as tiny as changing the scent of your laundry detergent can cause your cat to experience anxiety.
Stressed cats often overgroom themselves as a way to self-soothe through anxiety, but it can have disastrous consequences for their fur and skin.
If you suspect that your cat’s fur problems are due to stress, try to provide a stable routine for your cat, and make sure your cat has its own private space to retreat if it is feeling overwhelmed.
Maine Coons are known to shed a lot, and they should be brushed at least twice a week.
However, brushing too frequently, too rough, or for too long at a time can cause more harm than good.
Overbrushing can lead to dry and irritated skin, and it can cause your cat’s fur to become thin.
Make sure you only brush your cat for five to ten minutes at a time and do not brush too hard.
Similarly to overbrushing, bathing your cat too often can also lead to skin and fur problems.
Even though Maine Coons often like water, and even developed semi-water-repellent fur, they should not be bathed more than once a month.
While bathing can be necessary for dirty or matted fur, you should not bathe your cat more than you need to.
Furthermore, you should never use any shampoo, conditioner, or other bath products that are not specifically made for cats.
Human shampoo and soap are much too harsh for cats and can lead to serious skin problems.
A lack of humidity can cause serious problems for your cat’s fur.
Indoor cats are more likely to suffer from health problems associated with dry air, particularly during the winter when indoor heating removes most of the water from the air.
If your cat has dry, scaly, red, or itchy skin, its fur may become thinner, less moisturized, and more likely to fall out.
If you suspect your cat’s fur problems are the result of dry air, consider getting a humidifier.
If your cat has been spending a lot of time outside directly under the sun, it could be suffering from sunburn.
Sunburn also tends to lead to:
While Maine Coons are playful cats that can gain a lot of enrichment from going outdoors, it is important to keep your cat out of the sun on especially warm days.
You should also always provide plenty of water and shade.
Maine Coon tail hair loss can be concerning for any owner, but it does not always indicate a serious health problem.
Some Maine Coons have naturally thinner tails during shedding season.
However, if you notice sudden Maine Coon tail hair loss it could be due to problems like parasites, infections, allergies, or underlying medical conditions.
If you notice your cat has dry, scaly, or irritated skin, you should take it to the vet so you can treat your cat’s discomfort as soon as possible.
Do Maine Coons Have Long Tails?
Maine Coons are known for having incredibly long tails, which are usually between 12 and 18 inches long.
Maine Coon Tail Rings
Many Maine Coons have distinctive dark rings around the base of their tail, particularly if they are tabbies.
Maine Coon Bald Patches
If your Maine Coon has bald patches, you should visit the vet as soon as possible. Bald patches can indicate allergies, parasites, or skin problems.
Why Do Maine Coons Wag Their Tails?
If a cat lashes its tail quickly from side to side, it usually means it is frightened. If a cat flicks its tail more slowly from side to side, it is usually interested in something.

Innovated version of the well-known ARG 250 model series that has been produced for 25 years, with a brand new, uniquely designed saw band arm. Increased maximum diameter of the split material from 250 mm to 260 mm. The latest concept of the arm casting with cavities is fitted with running wheels with an increased diameter. The larger diameter of the wheels ensures less bending stress of the saw band. All this ensures an outstanding rigidity of the whole system, long service life of saw bands and maximum cut precision. The hollow parts of the arm contains all wiring and coolant lines, which protects them from damage. The new arm concept also greatly simplifies saw band replacement or cleaning of the inside of the arm – you just open the hinged cover and it stays in the upper position. Apart from creating an entirely new design of the arm, we also made many technical adjustments and changes improving the quality, user comfort and service life of the machine. As an accessory, you can use a saw band cleaning brush, synchronously driven from the drive wheel.
Fully automated CNC band saw is generally suitable for cutting big series in the heaviest and non-stop operating plants. The machine is equipped with a workpiece feed by industrial servomotor with a new control system. The servomotor and ball screw ensure high speed and maximum accuracy of workpiece feed, even in multiple feed when cutting long pieces. Options of setting three feed rates – 27, 42 or 50 mm/s acording to weight and length of the workpiece to be cut. Maximum length of a single feed is 500 mm.
Central control panel with a big colour touch screen (7.5”) ensures simple intuitive control of all features of the machine. The control unit allows for programming of up to 60 programmes for quick setting of the feed length in repetitive production. Each programme can be annotated, e.g. by the drawing number. Possibility of programming and cutting of different number of pieces of different sizes without the need for further operation of the machine. The machine can be controlled in fully automatic, semi-automatic or manual mode. In manual mode all functions of the machine are controlled separately. Workpiece clamping and arm feed into and out of the cut in the desired position according to section of the workpiece are controlled by hydraulics. Regulation of pressure of the feeding and fixed vice is included in the standard equipment.
Maximum cutting efficiency is maintained also thanks to the possibility of setting optimum saw band rate by a frequency converter in the range between 15 and 90 m/min., which significantly contributes to cutting accuracy and service life of saw bands. Maximum accuracy of workpiece feeding is based on a very robust construction of the machine with all the main parts made of grey cast iron and massive framework of the feeding system. Large base and overall massive framework guarantee exceptional stability of the machine even when cutting heavy workpieces. The base is equipped with a large removable chips container and allows for installation of an optional worm chips container. Industrial band 27 x 0.9 mm is manufactured in many versions and allows for cutting of wide range of materials, including stainless steel or tool steel.


The Ukrainian authorities are asking Washington for new weapons in order to conduct offensive operations, according to the influential American publication The Wall Street Journal.
Meanwhile, since February 24, the United States has already supplied Ukraine with 140 artillery systems and 660,000 shells and missiles for them, according to an official Pentagon report.
In addition, the United States sent to the Ukrainian army:
- 41 thousand portable missile systems to combat armored targets,
- 1.4 thousand portable anti-aircraft missile systems,
- 15 helicopters,
- 38 radars,
- 10.2 thousand machine guns and pistols,
- about 63.8 million rounds of ammunition for small arms,
- 18 patrol boats.
Now Ukraine is also asking for long-range missiles, which the US has so far refused to supply. The list for "offensive operations" consists of 29 types of weapons and ammunition. Among them is the ATACMS army operational-tactical missile system with a ballistic missile range of up to 300 km. Until now, America has refused to provide such weapons to Ukraine for fear that it will decide to launch strikes on Russian territory, and this will provoke a military conflict with the West.
In addition to ATACMS, Ukraine also asks for 2,000 HIMARS missiles, which the United States has already provided to it. The list also includes drones, artillery systems, Harpoon anti-ship missiles and tanks, the publication reports.

Using relevant examples explain why ethical issues are important in research with non-human animals in psychology (15)
Your aim is to answer the following questions:
What do we mean by an ethical issue? The focus is the clash between the rights of humans and non-human animals.
How can we justify performing research on non-human animals.
What are the moral arguments against performing experiments on non-human animals?
d) What examples of relevant scientific research can you give?
Define what we mean by an ethical issue – how do the interests of human and non-human animals clash. Give examples from psychological research eg Harlow’s Monkeys, Skinner’s Rats, Seligman’s work on dogs and Learned Helplessness.
Moral Justifications for Non-human animal research:
Moral obligation to help humans before other animals (Gray 1987) – balance human benefit v animal suffering.
Animals are well-protected by law eg “Animals(Scientific Procedures)Act”(1986) and the BPS Guidelines of the same year.
Animals are convenient to do research on, so we should try to use them (because Humans are WORTH MORE – which is a moral question).
Animal research has given a lot to both practical and theoretical psychology – eg Learning Theory (Skinner’s rat and pigeons), Parental Deprivation (Harlow’s Monkeys)
Moral Arguments against using non-human animals in research:
Animals suffer – which goes against their rights, often unjustifiably because the knowledge gained is relatively limited.
Animals are qualitatively different (both physically and mentally)from humans, which makes it wrong for us to do research on them when it will only give limited insight into human behaviour.
Singer(1991) argues that there is no justification in using animals for research and those who do are guilty of speciesism. He argues it is wrong to do research on any organism that can feel pain, because an animal’s pain is as important as human pain.
Give examples of non-human animal research eg:
Sheridan & King (1972) Electrocuting Puppies - Obedience
Lashley (1929) Removing parts of rats’ brains - Memory
Seligman (1967) Electrocuting dogs - Depression
Selye (1956) Harming rats - stress
Harlow (1959) Monkeys with wire “Mothers”
Gibson and Walk (1960) Raisng cats in the dark – depth perception
Jouvet (1967) Cats on Flowerpots – REM sleep
Fossey (1983) Living with Gorillas – Primate Hierarchies
And discuss whether the suffering can be justified – describe a cost-benefit analysis.

BROOKFIELD – Seeking to stem the flow of massive injuries caused by the removal of any bits from their titanium and other twist drill bit kits, Milwaukee Tool is now including a pair of cut-resistant gloves with every set.
“We designed the kits so that you really need to use one of our other tools to remove a bit—perhaps one of our linemen’s pliers or even an M12 press tool. For some reason, however, people still insist on using their fingers,” said a Milwaukee product manager. “We even addressed this potential problem by making the case red to hide the evidence of any unfortunate accidents. After multiple reports of cut and mutilated fingertips, we’ve finally decided to include a pair of Milwaukee cut-resistant gloves with every set. Now, Pros can safely access their bits tool-free and without fear of staining the job site red—though we still love that color.”
Due to the sharpness of the bits, Milwaukee Tool only recommends the use of the included cut-resistant gloves for a period of 2 weeks before seeking a replacement pair or going back to using their press tool.

Free Video Poker ONLINE TECHNIQUE
Video poker can be an online casino game similar to five-card draw poker, with a virtual poker room on the Internet. It is usually played on a computerised system roughly the size of a mini slot machine. This kind of poker is played out over a network, much like Internet poker, but in the form of video.
Like all video poker games, they are played via the Internet using a browser interface (using windows, Mac or Linux). These machines are designed to ‘play’ without actually needing to be physically present at a genuine casino. In this way, they eliminate the physical risk and wreck havoc on the ‘feel’ of gambling. They’re played in what is categorised as ‘pay tables’, where machines will place bets based on a specific sum of money they can spend (usually in a pot).
The house edge for video poker is the difference between the amount a player would have to lose when they earned the jackpot and the amount that they would still need to win the same jackpot should they lost all their money. The house edge for these types of online casinos is around two to three percent. This means that an individual playing a video poker video game at one of these brilliant casinos would stand a very much greater chance of losing additional money than they stand of winning. Even so, this is not always the case. Some competitors can get lucky and win more income than the house edge would suggest.
As may be the case with all video tutorial poker games, jackpots can be won on video poker equipment. To do this, a player must cash in their winnings, generally by depositing real cash into the machine. The device will then deduct the existing rate from the sum of money the player has paid in to the machine and will provide them with the amount of money that they are owed. Frequently, these machines will continue steadily to give out money even with a player has recently cashed in the winnings. This is the reason it is important that people play video poker games at locations where they know they’ll not be stopped or cheated upon.
Some machines on video poker devices have what is known as portable features. These are used to determine how much a person can win per hand. You can find basically four different playable ideals, and depending on where the video poker machine is located, one of them may be more popular than the others. This is why paying attention to the paytable value at the time that you are playing the overall game is so important.
The payout per hand value depends upon how many total Royal Flush cards are remaining in the deck when a video poker game is enjoyed. Royal flush cards are considered to be rarer than additional cards in the deck, and therefore there is only ever one in a pack. When a video poker game is used five cards remaining in the deck, the individual with the most Royal Flush cards in the end is the winner. Additionally, there are some variations with this theme, where the person with the most Royal Flush cards at the conclusion can be the recipient of a “big award” if the game had been 카지노 게임 사이트 a Royal Flush.
Another important factor to winning video poker game titles is using the right strategies. While these approaches usually do not promise a guaranteed winning work, they do instruct the participant to find particular types of situations also to exploit them in the expectations of earning extra money. For instance, players who can identify which kind of opponent they are likely to face will have an edge over those who usually do not.
If you are searching for places to play video tutorial poker games, no matter what kind they are, then you should definitely have a look at all the casinos offering them. When you do join a game, be sure to read the bonus information so as to maximize your earnings. Regardless of how large or small they’re, the free video poker online casino bonuses that lots of of these sites offer are usually invaluable.

We will meet at Donna Calvert's home in Chase.
Donna has a beautiful small farm in Chase with animals, barns and great views of the surrounding hills. This will be a true "Paint Out", there will be a demo and then time to paint, no actual "business meeting" this time!
Donna lives at 6203 Veteran Road ( VLA) on the north edge of Chase on a small farm on the South Thompson River. Coming from Kamloops you can turn left off of the highway onto VLA at a sign that says The Corn Farm having just passed by the turnoff to the Chase Creek -Pillar Lake -Falkland Road on your right, and then just drive until you see 6203 on your left on the fence at the end of a paved driveway with an old threshing machine and a mailbox and a Teak sign. Drive to the end of the driveway to our house and park along the driveway. Then come down to the pool area. Coming from Salmon Arm direction take the first turnoff into Chase, drive on until you see the Legion on your left and cross over the little bridge in front of you and immediately turn right onto Aylmer Road - drive on until you come to VLA ,the first left turn ,and then drive until you see 6203 on your right side. I think those directions should get everyone there. I have lots of chairs but you may want to bring your own. We have a poolhouse with a bathroom and a small kitchen.
Please remember to bring your lunch and any supplies you will need for the day.
A special welcome to all new FCA members. We hope to see you out at our
Chapter meetings and upcoming events!

But, on that exact same day “The Rise of Skywalker” reached $1 billion worldwide, the film’s domestic cumulative gross box office revenue also slid below the cumulative domestic gross box office earnings that “#RogueOne: A Star Wars Story” had earned in 2016 after the same number of days in theaters. And, since then, “The Rise of Skywalker” has remained below “Rogue One” in terms of cumulative domestic gross box office.
Thus, the earnings for “The Rise of Skywalker” continue to drop at a rate faster than what “Rogue One” experienced in 2016, and we suspected that the film may not earn as much as “Rogue One” after viewing last week’s box office numbers when “The Rise of Skywalker” was barely doing better than “Rogue One”.
While the box office for “#StarWars IX: #TheRiseOfSkywalker” was the highest during first 3 weekends, that is no longer the case with the opening of the war drama #1917 in wide release. The film’s 4th weekend earnings were only $15.1 million domestic, which, when compared with the film’s opening weekend, is a 91.5% drop in box office earnings. This is the biggest 4th weekend drop of all of the #Disney “Star Wars” sequel trilogy films, and the film also had the largest 3rd weekend drop of the three.
In terms of overall box office performance, “The Rise of Skywalker” has broken the long-standing tradition of the 3rd film in a trilogy outperforming the 2nd film in the trilogy. (The 3rd films in the original and prequel trilogies that were produced by George Lucas both outperformed their respective 2nd trilogy films.)
Comparing the gross box office receipts for each of the Disney “Star Wars” sequel films, the following patterns emerge.
- The opening weekends for each film were progressively worse, which is not consistent with how well the 3rd films performed during the original or prequel trilogies.
- With the exception of the 2nd weekend, “The Rise of Skywalker” earned less than its sequel trilogy predecessors for each subsequent weekend.
- “The Rise of Skywalker” has seen more than a 50% drop in gross weekend box office receipts between all subsequent weekends. “Star Wars VII: #TheForceAwakens” did not experience a weekend-to-weekend drop in box office of more than 50% until its 4th weekend.
- With the exception of the 2nd weekend, “The Rise of Skywalker” has experienced the largest percentage drops in box office receipts when compared with opening weekend.
- “The Rise of Skywalker” is the first of the three films to reach a more than 90% drop in overall box office receipts when compared with opening weekend. It was also the first to experience a more than 80% drop during its 3rd weekend. In comparison, “The Force Awakens” and “Star Wars VIII: #TheLastJedi” didn’t experience an 80% drop in overall box office receipts until their 4th weekends.
When looking at worldwide gross box office earnings, “The Rise of Skywalker” still hasn’t reached the $1 billion dollar mark:
If we compare the current earnings of “The Rise of Skywalker” with those of the Disney sequel trilogy and “#RogueOne: A Star Wars Story”, we’ll see that the current earnings of “The Rise of Skywalker” are almost the same for what they were for “Rogue One”, so it’s entirely possible that (from the graph below) “The Rise of Skywalker” may not earn as much as “Rogue One” or it may only earn slightly over the overall earnings of “Rogue One”. With more films being released in theaters in the coming weeks, “The Rise of Skywalker” will have more competition, which will take more earnings away from it.

Since we first posted our analysis of user rating demographics on IMDb for all #StarWars films on Dec. 23, 2019, there has been a change in overall user ratings for “Star Wars IX: #TheRiseOfSkywalker” that we will now share. Namely, the overall user ratings for Ep. IX have dropped and now are in sync with the previously released “Star Wars” film: “#Solo: A Star Wars Story”.
This downward shift for Ep. IX gives the film an overall “D+” rating and places it into the same “D”-rated films as “Star Wars I: #ThePhantomMenace”, “Star Wars II: #AttackOfTheClones” and “Solo: A Star Wars Story”.
Examining Age Demographics More Closely
We also decided to take a closer look at the overall demographics for each film regarding age groups and gender to see if any patterns emerge. The results follow.
Sorry that this chart is a little busy, but some interesting patterns do emerge, though the user ratings per age group also need to take into consideration the age of the IMDb website, the age of the Internet, how many people had Internet access over time, and the age when the voters actually saw the films:
- Since IMDb was launched on Oct. 17, 1990, it didn’t exist when the original trilogy was released. Hence, all of the user ratings for those films would’ve all occurred at least 7 to 13 years after the films were released; but the vast majority of those user ratings wouldn’t have started to probably accumulate for another 10 years over that. Hence, the age data won’t be based on when the films were released.
- Only 4.1% of the world’s population was on the Internet when “Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace” was released. This grew to 14.6% when “Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith” was released. 46% of the world’s population had Internet access when “Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens” was released, and that number is now 58.8%.
- The older the films, the more user ratings accumulate over time and the recorded age for each user rating is based on the age of the individual when the user ratings were first recorded. Some individuals may also have changed their user ratings over time and it’s not clear which age would remain: the age of the original user rating or of the most recent user rating.
So we can draw the following conclusions from these data issues:
- The older the films are, the less likely the age data will reflect the age of the users when they rated the films.
- The age data is less valid for older films than for newer films.
In spite of these data issues, we can still find some interesting patterns and correspondences.
- Only those users who are at least 42 years of age were alive when “Star Wars IV: A New Hope” was released. The “45 >” age group most closely represents those who would’ve been able to see this film in theaters; but they would’ve been young children at the low end of this age range.
- Only those users who are at least 36 years of age were alive when “Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi” was released. Everyone in the “45 >” age group could’ve seen this film in theaters, as well as the upper range of the “30-44” age group. Anyone who saw this film who are currently in the “30-44” age group would’ve been very young children when this film came out; and people in the “45 >” age group would’ve been at least 9 years old.
- Only those users who are at least 20 years of age were alive when “Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace” was released. Anyone currently in the “30-44” age group would’ve been 10 to 24 years old when this film came out. Anyone currently in the “45 >” age group would’ve been at least 25 when this film came out.
- Only those users who are at least 14 years of age were alive when “Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith” was released. Anyone currently in the “30-44” age group would’ve been 16 to 30 years old when this film came out. Anyone currently in the “45 >” age group would’ve been at least 31 when this film came out.
- Since 10 years separate “Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens” from “Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith”, anyone who saw the latter film in theaters as children would now be in their late teens or early 20’s now. Those in their 20’s then would be in their 30’s now and those in their 30’s then would be in their 40’s now. Anyone who remembers seeing “Star Wars IV: A New Hope” in 1977 would likely be at least in their 50’s or older now.
In other words, grandparents today who saw the original trilogy in theaters could be taking their grandchildren to see the Disney sequel trilogy. Parents who saw the prequels as children could be taking their children to see the Disney trilogy. And, the people who were parents when the prequels came out would likely have been children themselves when the original trilogy came out.
So what does the age data on IMDb tell us?
- The people who most love the the first two original trilogy films are either children today or were children when the films first came out. The people in between (who were children when the prequels came out) like these two films slightly less.
- Males who were young children when Ep. VI came out liked the film more than other male groups: Ewoks. Ewoks don’t appear to have had the same impact with female viewers.
- Males who were young children to early 20’s when the prequels came out enjoyed them more than other males, including those who were children when the original trilogy came out. For females, the older they get, the less they like the prequels regardless of how old they were when the films came out or weren’t yet born when they came out.
- For Ep. VII, males who were children when the prequels came out liked the film best, as do all females who are 29 years of age or younger.
- For Ep. VIII, both males and females who are 29 years of age or younger prefer this film over other age groups, which includes people who were young children when the prequels came out. Males who could’ve seen the original trilogy in theaters also like the film slightly more, but not as much as males 29 years of age and younger.
- For Ep. IX, the greatest appeal is for both males and females who could’ve seen the original trilogy in theaters. In other words, nostalgia made a difference, but the younger the males, the more likely the disliked the film. Females who could’ve seen the prequels as children liked this film the least among female viewers.
While Disney succeeded in having their sequel trilogy appeal more to female viewers than male viewers overall, they weren’t as successful in building an audience with today’s children, which isn’t necessarily a positive long-term development when combined with the lack of overall appeal for the prequels a generation earlier. As the older generation who grew up with the original trilogy as children dies, the most appealing films continue to be the original trilogy. In other words, none of the Disney sequel trilogy films were able to touch the love that the original trilogy continues to have and has had for several generations.
In its 2nd weekend, “#StarWars IX: #TheRiseOfSkywalker” earned $72 million domestic box office receipts. This is a decline of $105 million, which is 59.4% below what it earned during its opening weekend of $177.4 million (revised from the earlier reported $175.5 million domestic opening weekend). While this decline isn’t as severe as the whopping $149 million decline (67% decline) that “Star Wars VIII: #TheLastJedi” experienced between its 2nd and opening weekends in 2017, the $72 million that “The Rise of Skywalker” earned during its second weekend is only $1 million more than the $71 million earned by “The Last Jedi” during its 2nd weekend.
Currently, the 10-day cumulative domestic box office total for “The Rise of Skywalker” is $361.8 million, which is slightly lower than the 10-day cumulative domestic box office total of $368 million that “The Last Jedi” earned in 2017.
The currently predicted total domestic box office expected is between $502 million and $612 million, which is line with our own prediction of $545.8 million domestic box office earnings that we made last week.
Outside of the U.S., “The Rise of Skywalker” earned $94 million during its 2nd weekend and has a current overseas cumulative 10-day box office total of $363 million for a total worldwide 10-day cumulative box office total of $724.8 million. The domestic/overseas split is currently 47/53%, so while the film is earning more overseas than domestically, the overall IMDb user ratings for “The Rise of Skywalker” still have a higher domestic user rating of 7.1 over the overseas user rating of 6.8.

BHP Billiton has long preached the gospel of buying greenfield assets that are scalable and waiting patiently for markets to grow to realize the full benefits of margin growth. The Anglo-Australian miner’s $38.6 billion unsolicited bid for Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan marks a move away from this strategy.
Given the long lead times to develop potash projects, greenfield investments will not capture the benefits of a projected near-term upswing in fertilizer demand. To buy into production, BHP will have to pay up, especially for the world’s largest potash. But with an enterprise value of $207 billion, BHP can afford to.

Network has become an indispensable technology in modern society and people’s daily life. If it was decades ago, someone asked: what is the network? Maybe many people know that at that time, computers, mobile phones and the Internet were still a new thing.
Take the early computers and mobile phones for example. They were not only stupid but also big and had few functions. Maybe the post-90s and post-00s don’t know what a cell phone is. But if you ask about the post-60s, Post-70s, and some post-80s, most of them know what a mobile phone is. It’s an early mobile phone, and it’s only 30 years since now.
Take a brick for a mobile phone. It’s big. Don’t underestimate it. It was a symbol of status and wealth at that time. People who could afford a mobile phone were big bosses and rich people. You know, a mobile phone costs tens of thousands of yuan. More than 30 years ago, most people’s annual income might be less than 1000 yuan. To buy a mobile phone, you need to save money for 10 years without eating or drinking.
At that time, many people may think: “I really envy the rich people who have mobile phones. I don’t know when I can afford them.”. However, the speed of scientific and Technological Development surprised people. Mobile phones soon became a product that most people could afford to use. Nowadays, not only aunts and uncles have mobile phones, but also primary school students have mobile phones. It is an era of universal mobile phones.
Mobile phone update is very fast, from the initial simple can only answer and call the big guy into now more and more rich 4G, 5g mobile phone. The rapid development of mobile phone is also inseparable from the credit of the network. It develops as fast as mobile phone. From the initial 2G network to the 5g network, it is only a short time.
The Internet has changed people’s lives, changed people’s travel, now we go shopping travel, do not take cash, just need to bring a mobile phone can, a machine in hand, I have the world. And in people’s families, in order to enjoy the function of mobile network, people have installed optical broadband, and the speed is also faster and faster, from the initial only a few megabytes to now hundreds of megabytes.
After the installation of optical broadband, a router needs to be installed, which can let the family’s multi strong devices share a network, especially its wireless function, so that upstairs and downstairs, left collar and right house can share the wireless network. Free of a lot of people with the high cost of traffic distress. Therefore, now people install broadband more or to install a router to achieve its wireless function.
With the router, the whole family is covered by wireless network, life has brought great convenience. However, many people will find that the original broadband speed of hundreds of megabytes is getting slower and slower, and it has become “tortoise speed”. What’s the matter? So someone went to the Internet to search for relevant information to find a solution. In the network, there are usually two explanations for the slow down of the network caused by routers.
One is caused by the aging of the router for many years. With the continuous growth of the service life of the router, the internal components are aging and the performance is weakened, resulting in the network transmission becoming stuck and slow. The only way to solve this problem is to replace a new router. The other is because the router is not closed for a long time, resulting in buffer congestion. Maybe some people don’t know that the router needs a buffer for data transmission.
There is also a virtual buffer inside the router, where a large number of data are temporarily saved, which can speed up the network data transmission. But if the buffer is full of data, the network transmission will become tortoise speed, slower and slower. At this time, we just need to turn off the router and then turn it on, so that the data in the buffer will be released and cleared, and the network will return to the previous speed.
However, according to the solution found on the Internet, some friends have released the buffer or replaced a new router and found that the problem has not been solved. The network speed is still the same as the original tortoise speed. What’s the matter? Some people think it may be the problem of the broadband operators, so they call the customer service, and after checking the computer room, they find that there is no problem with the broadband, so many people are confused. What is the problem?
In fact, if you encounter this problem, it may be that there are two things beside the router, which affect your network speed and make it become tortoise speed. So what are these two things? Now let’s have an explanation.
First of all, it’s made of metal. The working principle of the router is to send electromagnetic waves to transmit signals to target products, such as mobile phones, TVs, etc. There are many things that can interfere with electromagnetic waves, among which metal is an important interference source. I believe many friends have had this experience: when you are sitting in front of the computer playing with the computer, suddenly the computer screen keeps flashing, then the mobile phone rings, someone calls you.
In this case, the mobile phone signal interferes with the metal components in the computer. If a metal is placed next to the router, it will interfere with the transmission of radio electromagnetic signals, the radio wave signals will become intermittent and incoherent, and the natural radio signals will not be good. Therefore, usually we must not put the metal material beside the router.
The second is electrical appliances. The interference of electrical appliances to wireless electromagnetic waves is stronger than that of metal. This is the impact of the above mobile phone on the computer when it calls. In fact, the reason is not complicated. When electrical appliances are working, they will also emit certain radiated electromagnetic waves. This radiation will not only have a certain impact on the body, but also seriously interfere with the transmission of electromagnetic signals, thus affecting the speed of the network. With the increasing power of electrical appliances, this kind of interference is stronger and stronger. Therefore, it is better not to have electrical appliances beside the router.
The above two are the second reasons why your broadband network is getting slower and slower. If your broadband network is getting slower and slower because of your router, first of all, don’t think that the router is too old to use and you are busy replacing it with a new one. In fact, the life of the router is very long. Even if the router is used for a long time, it will not have a great impact on the broadband network speed, and there will be no card problem. As long as a router is not damaged by lightning, its service life can reach more than 10 years.
Therefore, when the network speed caused by the router becomes slower and slower, we should first turn it off and then turn it on to see if the buffer is too full. Then we should check whether there are metal objects or electrical appliances around the router. If there are, we should move them. We should either change the router to another place away from metal and electrical appliances, or we should move metal and electrical appliances.
If the above measures are carried out and the network speed is still not improved, it may really be necessary to change the router. For broadband operators or lines, the possibility is very small. If there is a fault with the operator, the network will be cut off directly. If it’s a line problem, the indicator light on the current broadband cat will also prompt. If everything is normal, it can only be a problem with the router and its surroundings. As long as the problem is solved, the network speed will change from tortoise speed to the original fast time.
However, with the rapid development of network technology, the future of wired broadband will be gradually eliminated, will be replaced by wireless broadband. When you install broadband at home, you don’t need to pull the fiber cable at all. You just need to buy a wireless cat from the operator, and then you can access the broadband network, and the speed will be very fast. Although there is also wireless broadband, the network speed is much slower than wired broadband, and the price is also expensive. So many people choose to install faster, cheaper fiber broadband.
The rapid development of science and technology will make the whole earth enter the era of network coverage. In the future, we can access WiFi anywhere on the earth, and all of them are free, and the speed is not slow at all. Not only that, when we enter the space age and explore space comprehensively in the future, the network will spread all over the solar system and the galaxy. Realize the solar network era and the Galactic network era.
Guys, what do you think of this? Welcome to leave a message below to discuss and express your opinions.

A large population-based study revealed that multiple antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) used by pregnant women to control seizures may cause poor school performance in their teenagers. The research team from Karolinska University Hospital and the University of Lund in Sweden confirmed that exposure to AEDs in utero may have a negative effect on neurodevelopment. Their findings now appear online in Epilepsia, a journal published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the International League Against Epilepsy.
Prior studies suggest that exposure to AEDs in utero may cause permanent damage to exposed children. Cognitive and behavioral issues, malformations, psychomotor delay, and lower intelligence quotient (IQ) have all been reported in research of standard therapies for epilepsy. Medical evidence also points out that polytherapy — when multiple AEDs are used — is more harmful than monotherapy (single AED therapy).
The Swedish research team used the Medical Birth Register, Patient Register, and a local study to identify women with epilepsy who gave birth between 1973 and 1986, and their anticonvulsant use during pregnancy. Children’s performance in school was obtained from the School Mark Registry, which provides grades for all students leaving compulsory school (age 16 in Sweden). Researchers then linked the data from all registers and identified 1,235 children born to epileptic mothers using AEDs, comparing their school performance to all other children born in Sweden (1,307,083) during the stated time period.
Results showed 641 children were exposed to monotherapy, 429 to polytherapy, and 165 to no known AED treatments in the womb. Those children exposed to two or more AEDs had an increased risk of not receiving a final grade upon completion of schooling, while those exposed to a single anticonvulsant, mainly carbamazepine (CBZ) or phenytoin, did not.
In finding that children exposed to a single AED had no increased risk of completing school without a final grade, the authors confirmed previous medical evidence that failed to show negative effects on nervous system development after exposure to monotherapy. However, the current study did show these children had a reduced chance of earning a “pass with excellence” grade, indicating that single AED use may impair higher cognitive function.
“Our results suggest exposure to several AEDs in the womb may have a negative effect on the child’s neurodevelopment,” said lead study author Lisa Forsberg, M.D. The findings support current recommendations based upon a study by Harden et al., that if adequate seizure control can be obtained, polytherapy should be replaced by monotherapy during pregnancy to reduce the risk of poor cognitive outcomes. “If possible pregnant women should avoid using multiple anticonvulsants to treat their seizures,” concluded Dr. Forsberg.

Given the widespread adoption of open-source software within the US federal government, issuing guidelines for open-source adoption within the US Department of Defense:, it's perhaps not surprising that the regulation-heavy federal government is finally getting around to
One of the primary issues to be addressed is if open source software is a form of commercial off-the-shelf software (COTS)....The memo should also dispel lingering ideas that open source software may not be used because it is a form of shareware or freeware....The memo will also confirm that it is acceptable for an agency to contribute source code back into a public open source project....In addition to defining the relationship open source has with COTS, shareware and copyright, the memo may also articulate some of the possible advantages of deploying open source.
What a profoundly important step forward for the US federal government, and for corporate open-source adoption more broadly. A range of software vendors like IBM and HP have policies as to employee contributions to open-source projects, for example, but in this case we have a major organization defining the parameters in which its employees can contribute to open source.
Will this be contagious? Let's hope so, because it could help to bring a massive flood of open-source software into the industry, given that most enterprise software is written for use by enterprises, not for sale by vendors.
In the narrowest sense, however, this memo potentially portends the proliferation of open-source adoption within the US Department of Defense on a grand scale.

AKIAK, Alaska (AP) - An Alaska community has lost buildings due to erosion along the banks of its river, officials said.
Residents of Akiak awoke Monday to find that smokehouses built along the Kuskokwim River had fallen into the water along with stretches of the riverbank in southwest Alaska, KYUK-AM reported Wednesday.
The community 42 miles (66 kilometers) northeast of Bethel lost between 75 and 100 feet (23 and 30 meters) of the riverbank, according to Akiak City Administrator David Gilila.
“That’s just in one day; that’s just in a matter of hours,” Gilila said.
Akiak has experienced erosion problems before, but now faces damage to about a mile (1.6 kilometers) of riverbank.
“There’s no comparison to it,” Gilila said. “Before, it was just certain spots. Today, it’s the whole bank from the upper end of Akiak to the lower end of it.”
There are now houses facing possible destruction due to the failing riverbank. One home is within 15 feet (5 meters) of the water, Gilila said.
“We got about three houses in imminent danger, and the rest of them will be coming along pretty quickly,” Gilila said. “If we don’t stop the erosion we’re going to have to move two, three, four houses.”
Residents plan to brace the riverbank using metal poles and a tarp. The city has also contacted the state about emergency funds and technical expertise.
“Hopefully they’ll come and advise us on how to stabilize the erosion down there,” Gilila said.
Akiak could become an island, he said, but the cost of relocating the entire community leaves them no choice other than to stay.

ZAGREB, April 17, 2018 – The Croatian government on Tuesday proposed that Deputy Chief State Prosecutor Dražen Jelenić be appointed the new Chief State Prosecutor, Justice Minister Dražen Bošnjaković said.
Addressing reporters outside Government House, Bošnjaković said that Jelenić had served as president of the State Judicial Council, municipal prosecutor and county prosecutor, and that the government was confident that he would be able to respond to the challenges of his new position.
The government will forward its proposal for Jelenić’s appointment to the parliament today. It expects the parliamentary Judiciary Committee to convene to discuss the proposal, after which the item will be put on the parliament’s agenda for a discussion and a vote.
“We think that we will be able to finish everything by April 24, when incumbent Chief State Prosecutor Dinko Cvitan’s term expires,” Bošnjaković said.
Asked about Cvitan’s performance, Bošnjaković said that his term was nearing its end and that it was the government’s right to propose a different candidate.
“We believe that this will bring new energy and a new approach,” he said, noting that his ministry would work on a new law on criminal proceedings to remove existing shortcomings and define new deadlines.

Kate Middleton reveals during visit to Luxembourg that Prince George and Princess Charlotte are learning to ride bikes
KATE Middleton has revealed that her children are learning to ride bikes.
The Duchess of Cambridge, 35, gave the cute update about Prince George, 3, and Princess Charlotte, 2, during a visit to Luxembourg.
Prince William’s wife was a guest of honour at a cycling-themed festival in the capital’s city centre where she met numerous cyclists.
One of the people she spoke to while there was professional cyclist Frank Schleck, who has two daughters.
Opening up about their exchange, he told local media: “We talked about how they [children] really appreciate riding a bike.
“For kids, it’s great because they can exercise and – as long as it’s safe – go to school without their parents.”
He continued; ”She said their kids have bikes and that they’re always excited about trying to ride.”
The one-day visit also saw Kate presented with a customised cycling jersey by six-year-old twins Liam and Mike, the sons of former Tour de France star, Kim Kirchen.
“[The Duchess] said she has no excuse now not to get on a bike,” said Kim.
The jam-packed 24 hours additionally saw her watch a team of Luxembourg road cyclists perform on stationery spinning bikes.
Plus, unveil three murals honouring cycling by artists Chiara Dahlem, James Straffon and Joël Rollinger.
The Duchess then went on to meet a group of local schoolchildren, some of whom have special educational needs.
Finally, she met with the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Luxembourg at the palace where they all posed for a group photograph.
The aim of the trip was to improve the UK and Luxembourg’s already strong relationship and was taken at the request of Her Majesty’s government.
This month is a a busy one for Kate and her family.
At the beginning of it they celebrated Princess Charlotte’s second birthday.
On May 20, Kate sister’s Pippa Middleton will marry banking tycoon James Matthews – the brother of former Made In Chelsea star Spencer Matthews.
They will tie the knot at St Mark’s Church in Englefield, Berkshire, with around 150 guests expected to attend.
Prince George and Princess Charlotte will act as page boy and flower girl.

The protest is prompted by the Communities and Local Government Secretary Eric Pickles ending the arrangement where the DCLG collects trade union subscriptions via the "check off" system.
This meant staff had their union subs deducted by the payroll department and it was handed over the unions.
They also complain that the DCLG's spending on Pilgrims – taxpayer funded union reps has been cut by 805. Also that there has been a 40% cut in admin spending at the DCLG and that there will be a further 10% fall in the DCLG budget by 2015/16.
Eric Pickles, Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, said:
"For too long in the public sector, trade unions have received taxpayer funding that is poor value for money and inadequately controlled.
"Reducing such public subsidies to trade unions is a practical way that councils can save money, to keep council tax down and protect frontline services for local residents – including union members themselves. And my department is practising what we preach to councils.
"Trade union activities and campaigning should be funded through consenting members' subscriptions, not bankrolled by the taxpayer. Freedom from state dependency will mean that trade union bosses will better reflect and respond to the wishes and views of the grassroots members."
