According to SFR’s analysis, of the more than 300 households in the city of Santa Fe that claimed the affordable housing credit, all but 53 have seen their values increase. They’re not small increments, either: The overwhelming majority of such homeowners saw increases of more than 5 percent in their home values. In extreme cases, home values doubled or tripled over just two years.
And all are outpacing their non-affordable equivalents.
SFR specifically examined current property tax assessment records for two subdivisions: Kachina Ridge in the city of Santa Fe and Aldea de Santa Fe in the county. Both mix affordable homes in with market-price units and, in each, the records reveal the same phenomenon: stagnant or decreasing values on market-price houses; astronomical increases for affordable homes.
In Kachina Ridge, a small subdivision with nine market-rate and 17 affordable homes on the tax rolls, the valuation differences are stark.
In 2008, not a single affordable home in Kachina Ridge was worth more than $200,000; developer Sproul says the affordable homes in Kachina Ridge shouldn’t be valued above $220,000. But the County Assessor’s office puts homes in Kachina Ridge claiming affordable housing tax breaks at approximately $295,000, on average. Market-rate homes, meanwhile, have stayed at approximately $220,000—and the affordable homes that didn’t claim a tax break are valued at less than $200,000.
To DeMack, that’s particularly odd given the similar features, floor plans and identical locations of market-rate and affordable homes in Kachina Ridge—not to mention Santa Fe’s stagnating real estate market.
Lois Sury, the president of the Santa Fe Association of Realtors, says that decline began in 2007 or 2008—and that two or three years is plenty of time for assessments to catch up with declining market values.
“On a whole, the real estate market isn’t appreciating,” Sury says. “Individual houses here and there, maybe, because people have improved them, but the trend has been that things have been going down.”
(DeMack says she hasn’t done anything to improve her home—“unless you count that $5 plum tree I planted.”)
Aldea, too, has its share of mismatched valuations.
On one particular street, Vista Precioso, four homes claiming the affordable housing tax credit have appreciated 6 to 7 percent since 2008, according to the County Assessor’s tax records. Three are valued at $419,860 and the fourth at $488,980. The market-rate homes around them are valued between $344,790 and $380,970—less than they were worth last year.
A fifth affordable home on the same street—valued at $419,860—is on the market for $279,110. (As it happens, that home is listed under Santa Fe Realty Partners with Paul Duran, one of two Democrats who ran against Domingo Martinez in the primary for the office. Benito Martinez, the other candidate, lives in affordable housing in Kachina Ridge, but does not claim the affordable housing credit.)
An Aldea resident, who asked that her name not be used because her property tax is currently under protest, says the only difference between the affordable and market-rate homes on Vista Precioso are their finishes—two-car garages, granite countertops, etc.
Loftin, who became acquainted with Aldea when Homewise helped fund approximately 20 affordable units there, tells SFR he’s surprised to hear that affordable homes of the same size, type and location would be valued so much higher than their equivalent market-rate properties.
“An affordable home, if it’s the same square footage and similar lots, it should be appraised at the same value,” Loftin says. “It certainly can’t be higher.”
SFR also spoke with residents at ElderGrace, a new Santa Fe Community Housing Trust affordable development off of Cerrillos Road that is not yet listed in the County Assessor’s database.
Home prices in ElderGrace range from $193,000 to $228,000. Most homeowners are retired or semi-retired. And many are seeing a time-compressed version of the same phenomenon that has played out in Kachina Ridge and Aldea over the past two years.
In Dorothea Matheny’s case, a $33,000 increase in her home’s value from the assessor is particularly galling.
Before she secured a loan, Matheny paid a total of $1,150 for two separate professional appraisals. Both were within $2,000 of her home’s sale price—$227,000 for a modest two-bedroom in a cooperative-living retirement community.
But when she got her notice of value this April, Matheny says the house’s value had jumped to $260,000.
“That was a shock,” Matheny says, shaking her head. “We moved into affordable housing because that’s what we could afford!”
Marty Carroll, another ElderGrace resident, saw a similar increase between her fall 2009 purchase price (and appraisal) and 2010 assessment.

Carroll wonders at the rapid increase, especially when many of the homes in ElderGrace aren’t selling.
“If the price for these units was way under, they would be completely sold out by now,” Carroll says. “They’ve been on the market since October, and they’re not!”
Community Housing Trust Executive Director Sharron Welsh tells SFR she’s received several calls from residents in ElderGrace (and other developments) who are concerned about their property valuations.
In ElderGrace, she says, people who had recently closed on their homes then received assessments and “saw significant increases over the cost they paid.”
Having increased assessments so soon after closing, Welsh says, is hard to understand. Mortgage lending appraisers operate under strict rules and regulations, she notes, so appraisals like Matheny’s are conducted in person and based on each unique property.
“Unless someone goes and conducts that kind of in-depth analysis, I don’t know how [one] could produce a better report than the actual appraisal performed for that house,” Welsh says. Every home sold in ElderGrace, she says, had an appraisal consistent with the selling price.
“I felt like I was ripped off, to pay for two appraisals,” Matheny tells SFR. “It sounds like [the county assessor’s staff] never even looked at the house. It’s ridiculous.”
That the county’s assessments are so much higher than all of the professional appraisals in ElderGrace, Welsh says, may be nothing more than an accounting glitch—but it stands to affect some of Santa Fe’s most vulnerable residents.
At ElderGrace, she says, “They’re seniors, and they’re on fixed incomes, and they didn’t count on significantly higher taxes than they originally estimated.”


With the Hoosier Heritage Conference title on the line, the New Palestine and Pendleton Heights girls basketball teams continued to have an answer for each other down the stretch Thursday night.
When PH’s Aubree Dwiggins hit a 3-pointer to give the Arabians the lead in the final minute, NP’s Leah Seib answered with a spinning layup with 25 seconds left to re-take the lead for the Dragons. In the final seconds, Dwiggins drove the lane and hit a runner. Seib took the same shot, but it hit the rim twice and looked to be going down, but then fell off, giving the Arabians a 44-43 victory over NP and at least a share of the HHC title.
The Dragons fall to 13-6 on the season and finish conference play 5-2. NP will finish second or third in the HHC, depending on the outcome of games in the final week.
NP trailed 24-19 at halftime, but started the second half on an 11-3 run that was fueled by balance – back-to-back baskets by Megan Jolly and Seib, followed by a basket by Katie Herron, while the Dragons forced turnovers on PH’s first four possessions. Haley Harrison hit a basket and a 3-pointer to put the Dragons up 30-27 with 3:23 left in the third. PH answered with four straight points to re-take the lead, but NP responded and eventually took a 35-33 lead after three on Emily Newcomb’s 3-pointer just ahead of the buzzer.
In the fourth, the teams traded baskets – Laikyn Conner hit three straight shots for PH, answered by hoops by Eliza Adams and Herron, leaving the game at 39-all with five minutes left. After a PH turnover, Newcomb hit a shot to give the Dragons a 41-39 edge with four minutes left. The score stayed there until the final minute – NP forced two misses and two turnovers by PH in that stretch, while the Dragons had two misses, a turnover and a missed free throw, setting the stage for the final minute.
Seib led a balanced Dragon attack with nine points. Newcomb and Harrison scored eight each – Newcomb was 3-of-6 from the floor, Harrison 3-of-7, including two 3-pointers. Harrison also had three rebounds. Katie Herron also scored eight points and had eight rebounds, three assists and two steals. Tatum Biddle had four points, three assists and two steals. Jolly added four points, six rebounds and three assists. Adams added two points and two rebounds.
The Dragons shot 38 percent – 19-of-50 – from the floor, including 47 percent in the second half, but were just 2-for-5 from the line. PH shot 52 percent, hitting 18-of-34, including 9-of-16 in the second half. The Dragons won the rebound battle 28-26 and had only seven turnovers to PH’s 12.
NP won the JV game 41-39 in overtime.
The Dragons next play Wednesday at Lawrence Central.


George W. Bush's education record may be more myth than miracle, according to a report in the Washington Post. National experts say that Bush relies too heavily on scores from the Texas Assessment of Academic Skills in measuring academic progress and that test preparation is given priority over other lessons in many Texas schools. "Texas has got to seriously think about the tradeoffs here," said Walter Haney, a researcher at Boston College who studies test statistics.
The report further asserts that Texas teachers devote class time and after-school and weekend study sessions to helping students cram for TAAS exams. The repetitive nature of the test preparation reportedly drives up Texas dropout rates, and improvement in minorities' TAAS scores doesn't translate to greater achievement by minorities on national exams.
The New Republic led the press in scutinizing the Texas miracle in an earlier article by Jonathan Weisman.
Revamping a Bush-league campaign
The New York Times reports that a group of Washington insiders plans to address problems in the learning curve of the Austin-based Bush team. Amateurish mistakes by the Bush campaign have prompted grumbling among Republican leaders for months, and the inside-the-beltway crowd is charged with bringing the campaign's efforts up to speed.
According to USA Today, several veterans of John McCain's campaign have also signed on with the Bush squad, including former manager Rick Davis and advisors Vin Weber and Ken Duberstein.
Mystery adman gives again
The Washington Post reports that the Republican National Committee pocketed a $100,000 donation from Charles J. Wyly, sponsor of the much-maligned attack ads aimed at McCain in the primary season's waning days. In other money matters, the Associated Press reports that Bush's campaign spent more than $10 million in March, while Al Gore's campaign spent less than $5 million. Though Bush has $6.8 million left, compared with Gore's $3.8 million, the vice president is expecting a boost of $6 million in federal matching funds from the government. Bush has rejected matching funds to avoid having to comply with federally mandated spending caps.
Conservatives comfortable with "compassion"
The Bush campaign's leftward swing won't cost him conservative votes, according to the Washington Times. Despite his meeting with gay Republicans and his relative silence on the issue of family values, Bush retains the trust of politically savvy social conservatives. "I feel our conservatives are getting more sophisticated about the political process," said Lynn Windel, an Oklahoma conservative and Republican National Committee member. "They understand a part of this is that to win the presidency, you have to go claim that middle ground."
Not all conservatives are so forgiving. Former Republican presidential candidate Gary Bauer seriously faults Bush for what he sees as the Texas governor's tacit endorsement of homosexual rights. Bauer says the meeting with gay Republicans "elevated the gay rights agenda to a level of recognition within the Republican Party that contradicts our long-standing commitment to pro-family values." After dropping out of the race, Bauer endorsed McCain (who met with gays from the Log Cabin Republicans earlier in the race).
Changes at the core of Team Gore
Bush isn't alone in rethinking his campaign lineup. According to the Washington Post, politics watchers should expect major renovations in Gore's team, which now includes controversy magnets Carter Eskew, Tony Coehlo and Donna Brazile. Though the current group is credited with effectively achieving Gore's primary sweep, it has also been tarred with the vice president's meandering campaign since then. Sources report that current top campaign staffers have reinforced Gore's image as a mean-spirited candidate because of their own cutthroat tendencies. "Every sharp elbow in the business is in there," says one consultant of Gore's advisors. Maybe not for long.
Guess who's coming to dinner?
McCain is to be the keynote speaker at a Bush event, reports the Associated Press. Connecticut Republicans invited the Arizona senator to the annual dinner honoring George W.'s grandfather, Prescott Bush. McCain defeated the Texas governor in Connecticut's primary on Super Tuesday.
Vowing to bring fresh air to politics and the environment, Green Party candidate Ralph Nader took his race south, according to AP reports. There, Nader cautioned students at the University of Kentucky not to succumb to fashionable indifference to politics. "If you don't turn on to politics, politics is going to turn on you," Nader said. "That's a lesson you may learn the hard way." Recent polls show Nader's long-shot presidential effort gaining steam. Though he's currently supported by only 6 percent of voters, Nader has pulled ahead of Reform Party candidate Pat Buchanan.
Tainted cash clean enough for Massachusetts
The Boston Herald reports that Massachusetts Sens. Ted Kennedy and John Kerry will keep checks from Vivian Mannerud, a Democratic donor linked to cocaine trafficker Jorge Cabrera. The Mannerud-Cabrera connection prompted Hillary Rodham Clinton to return Mannerud's $22,000 contribution to her Senate campaign.
Though Kennedy accepted $1,000 from Mannerud, Kerry had closer ties to the Democratic donor; she hosted an $18,000 Kerry fund-raiser, gave $1,000 in donations and arranged foreign travel for Kerry's staff as recently as this month. Though Kerry's advisors warned him that Mannerud's drug connection could prove troublesome, Kerry wasn't swayed. "We accept her word she had no knowledge of Mr. Cabrera's illicit activities," said Kerry spokesman David Wade.

‘The only way to win World War III is to prevent it’General Dwight Eisenhower
One of US Presidential Candidate Donald Trump defending his foreign policy has stated that “We do not have any other choice”. Why it could be that he is very right?
It is not an accident that today on the semi-official Kremlin news agency Sputnik News you could beside reading that Putin is not going to give up Assad read an open question 'Russian Missiles Global Reach: Does Moscow Need Military Bases Aboard?'.
It is an quite open declaration of the intentions of Kremlin. Forced to defend their main source of income – the oil and gas, they will not back from anything. Including the nuclear option.
Why then one of Polish Internet portal stated that Trump doctrine is dangerous for the security of Poland? It is a cold reality. Nobody at the West will die for the Cold Fusion. Americans can and should be afraid of Russia nuclear arsenal.
The hard-liners at Kremlin seems to understand this very well. The threat of the Fusion War going global can paralyze Polish allies and whole NATO. Like in September 1939 we could be left alone in this war. A war that would be certain if not the Lord peace drive.
A drive that to be successful must be backed by both Poles and Russians. The statement of Trump is very brave and at same time quite realistic. He seems to understand how desperate Russians will be in their efforts to stop transfer of Cold Fusion.
The nuclear option is open and possible answer to NATO involvement in defense of Poland. Poles must understand this and must be ready to face Russian invasion alone. Therefore they must do everything to avoid a war. And the Lord has gave them a chance for this. Will they pick up it or will they stick to the war it is open question. Very Polish Question.

Is your dog due for a makeover? Has she been enjoying the great outdoors a little too much? Grooming your dog is not only for the purpose of improving your dog appearance, but also improve their health especially against thick and fleas. Here are some simple tips for helping your dog put her best paw forward.
Brushing the dog hair
Brush your dog regularly. Daily is best. Be sure to also brush against hair growth direction to check for fleas and ticks.
The right tools. For short-haired dogs, most groomers recommend stainless-steel combs because they slide through coats very easily. For medium to long haired dogs start with a slicker brush and then follow with a stainless steel comb. In hot months consider investing in a flea comb to make sure your dog has not become a flea hotel. To make your dog’s coat really shine, finish with a soft bristle brush.
If your dog hates being brushed it sometimes helps to brush after play time. Start by brushing in the hair growth direction. When you are finished, reward your dog with a treat. Each day brush your dog a little longer. And if you are lucky, your dog may even begin to like being brushed.
Bathe the dog
Brush your dog from head to toe making sure all mats are gone. For small dogs a sink works great. For medium to large dogs, a tub or shower works best. Use only warm water and a good shampoo made for dogs. People shampoo is too harsh and can irritate your dog’s skin. Most groomers recommend working from the back end forward, lathering the head last.
Rinse, rinse, and rinse again to make sure you have removed all shampoo.
Short-haired dogs dry quickly and only need to be dried off with a towel. If your dog has long hair, you may need to brush him while he’s trying to avoid tangles.
And for the finale, you should finish by giving your dog a treat to encourage and train your dog for the next bath session. Then celebrate! You and your dog survived the bath, and you have a clean dog.

Didn't realize we were boarding the feels train. Choo Choo! <3
Short, sweet, and to the point. Absolutely lovely!
Fucking Brilliant! Bloody good job, mates!
Er... Alright then...
No real complaints. I wish you hadn't really gone for the sketchy look because it does make the animation look a little shoddy, but you make up for it with the AMAZING music. Glad it flows so well. I'm quite impressed. Bravo! Bravo!
You, yourself said it was dumb. You did not lie, but from an artistic standpoint:
Animation fluidity was beautiful.
Audio was about a second and a half off.
Other than that, solid piece. Glad to see talented artists like yourself here on Newgrounds.
Thanks dude!!! You know... Sometimes we do stuff to kill some time like this animation hehehehe!!! Thank you for the feedback!!!
Clever indeed :3
lolwut? I appreciate really anything Zelda... but despite everything this animation has going for it, it still managed to somehow turn out rather shoddy. Now, I mean no offense. Your author comments truthfully stated that there was a severe lack of 'jokes' which I understood going into watching this. My only concern is the fact that, even though there were no jokes as truthfully stated, what was the overall reason for this animation being made at all? I would hope that it was made for the sole reason of entertainment, but given the literal contents of this animation I found neither entertainment nor any sense as to why anyone would take the time to post something so fundamentally broken as this. Now, animation fluidity and overall art style, I have no complaints about. Just... Where's the story!? And if there is one, WHERE IS THE CONTEXT SO I CAN UNDERSTAND THE STORY!? Please... Consider the fact that even though the Zelda games have an overall religious following, unless there is some given context as to what you are referencing, whether personal or cliche, your audience is going to be completely lost, as I am now.
Thank you! The main point of creating this was... practice. I'm trying to improve my animations; and this is one of my earlier works. I wanted to submit as a part of my portfolio. I understand your complaints- maybe this isn't Newgrounds worthy yet.

ABBOTABAD: A minor accident resulted in a man being beaten and made to stand out in the cold allegedly by none other than Governor Sardar Mehtab Ahmad Khan’s son and his guards. The victim was not even directly involved in the collision.
The victim lodged a complaint with Mirpur police station and sought legal action. However, a case has yet to be registered. According to police, both parties had agreed to reach a compromise by Sunday evening.
Mirpur police quoted Saqib, a resident of Mohallah Kehal, as saying he was on his way to Ayub Medical Complex when another van got into an accident with Sardar Shamoon Yar Khan’s car near a Daewoo bus terminal. Shamoon is the governor’s son. He is a former MPA and a sitting district councillor.
The driver of the van, according to the complainant, sped away after damaging one of the doors of Shamoon’s car. However, since Saqib was behind the van that hit district councillor’s car, the latter asked him to reveal the name of the driver.
He was unable to provide the details which enraged Sharmoon whose five gunmen got out of the car and started kicking and slapping the victim. The driver was allegedly forced to stand out in cold weather for three hours.
On his complaint and later while talking to the media, Saqib said the gunmen also snatched his wallet and his van. He was forced to beg for his freedom and was finally released at around midnight. He said since he had no money to hire a vehicle to reach home, he walked all the way and finally reached at around 2am.
The driver said he went to Shamoon's house the next morning with a jirga and requested the van and his wallet be returned. Although he was neither part of the accident and nor associated with the fleeing driver, Shamoon reportedly asked Saqib to bear the cost of fixing his vehicle. The unreasonable request prompted him to file a complaint with the police against the governor's son and his five guards.
However, the police has yet to take action against Shamoon. The driver threatened self-immolation outside Peshawar High Court’s Abbottabad bench if the police failed to provide him justice.
When contacted, SHO Mirpur police station Javed Khan confirmed the contents of the complaint. However, he added the complainant himself requested the police to put the matter on hold soon after filing as both parties were negotiating a compromise.
Meanwhile, Shamoon was unavailable for comments. However, one of his close aides said the guards of the governor's son returned the van and wallet to the complainant. He claimed both sides struck compromise during a jirga and the matter was settled.
He said although Saqib was at fault, the former PML-N MPA had pardoned him.

Microevolution and Migration: Impact on Ecosystems
The Process of Microevolution
Microevolution is the gradual change in the genetic makeup of a population over time due to factors such as natural selection, gene flow, and genetic drift. These changes can have significant impacts on an ecosystem by altering the delicate balance between predators and prey, and the relationships between different species.
Natural selection is the process in which traits that confer survival advantages to an organism become more prevalent in a population over time. For example, if a certain prey species develops better camouflage, they may be less likely to be spotted and eaten by predators. Over generations, this trait would become more common in the population, leading to a change in the ecosystem as the predator-prey relationship shifts.
Gene flow occurs when individuals from one population migrate to another and interbreed. This can introduce new genetic traits into a population and alter its gene pool. Genetic drift, on the other hand, is the random fluctuation of genetic traits within a population due to chance events such as genetic mutations and founder effects.
The changes brought about by microevolution can have significant impacts on an ecosystem. For example, changes in the size or composition of populations can alter the food chain and cause cascading effects throughout the ecosystem. This can ultimately impact the survival of different species, as well as the overall health and biodiversity of the ecosystem.
The Role of Migration in Ecosystems
Migration is the movement of individuals or groups of organisms from one place to another, usually in search of food, shelter, or breeding grounds. This movement can have significant impacts on ecosystems, both for the species that migrate and for the ecosystems they leave behind.
For the species that migrate, the journey itself can be fraught with danger. Many animals undertake long and perilous migrations, facing challenges such as predation, extreme weather, and habitat loss along the way. However, the potential benefits of migration, such as access to new food or breeding grounds, make the journey worth the risk.
For the ecosystems that migrants leave behind, their absence can create a domino effect. For example, if a migratory bird species leaves an area for the winter, the local predator population may decline due to a lack of prey. This in turn can cause changes in the food chain and the overall balance of the ecosystem.
On the other hand, the arrival of migrant species can also have significant impacts on the ecosystems they enter. For example, plants that are introduced to a new ecosystem may become invasive and outcompete native species for resources.
Overall, the role of migration in ecosystems is complex and multifaceted, with both positive and negative impacts. Understanding these impacts is important for managing and preserving ecosystems for the future.
Microevolution and migration are two important processes that play significant roles in shaping and influencing ecosystems. Through microevolution, genetic changes can alter the relationships between different species in an ecosystem, while migration can bring new species into an ecosystem or remove them from it. Understanding these processes and their impacts is crucial for conserving and managing ecosystems for the future.
The Effects of Microevolution on Ecosystems
Microevolution, as previously stated, involves small changes in gene frequency within a population leading to changes in characteristics that could ultimately lead to speciation. However, these small changes can have a significant impact on the ecosystem. Genetic variation, adaptation, and natural selection are the three main factors that microevolution can influence the ecosystem.
Genetic variation is the diversity of genes within a population. As microevolution brings in small changes to gene frequencies, it leads to genetic variation. This genetic variation allows for the adaptation of populations to different environments and can prevent them from becoming vulnerable to environmental changes, such as natural disasters or the introduction of new species.
Adaptation is the process whereby an organism becomes better suited to its environment. These changes can be behavioral, physiological, or structural. Microevolution can cause changes in the physical or behavioral characteristics of organisms. For example, microevolution has been observed in peppered moths where, due to pollution, its wings changed color from white to black, allowing them to blend better in their surroundings. This adaptation allowed them to survive better in polluted environments.
Natural selection is the process whereby organisms that are better suited to their environment survive and reproduce more successfully than others. These individuals pass on their genetic traits to their offspring, who then become more prevalent in the population. Through natural selection, microevolution can favor certain traits or characteristics for a population, making them better adapted to the environment. An example of this can be seen in the Galapagos finches, where the beak size and shape changed over time to suit the food available on each island.
The Butterfly Effect
Microevolution emphasizes the delicate balance that exists in ecosystems. Changes in gene frequencies, no matter how small, can affect entire ecosystems. This concept is known as the butterfly effect. A small change in one part of the ecosystem can cause a chain reaction that can have widespread effects throughout the ecosystem. Therefore, even small changes caused by microevolution should be monitored and considered by ecologists in their management and conservation efforts.
Microevolution plays a significant role in shaping ecosystems. Through genetic variation, adaptation, and natural selection, changes in gene frequencies can lead to significant changes in the characteristics of populations that can ultimately affect entire ecosystems. This highlights the complexity and interconnectedness of life on earth and the importance of studying and managing ecosystems.
The Positive Impact of Migration on Ecosystems
Migration of species has been viewed as a result of complex interactions between various environmental and genetic factors. It is an important natural phenomenon that plays a vital role in the functioning and maintenance of ecosystems.
One of the positive impacts of migration on an ecosystem is the transport of essential nutrients. For example, migratory birds transport seeds, which are great sources of nutrients, to new locations where they can develop into plants and provide food for other organisms. Thus, this contributes to the overall health and diversity of the ecosystem.
Migration also introduces new species to an ecosystem, which helps to maintain the balance and diversity within the ecosystem. For example, salmon in a river system not only provide food to other species but also return nutrients to the ecosystem when they die and decompose. In addition, new species can bring new genetic material that can help existing populations adapt to changing environmental conditions.
Migrating species can also influence food webs and enhance the productivity of ecosystems through nutrient cycling. For instance, birds play a crucial role in pollination, which leads to the production of fruits and seeds. These fruits and seeds are then consumed by other organisms, leading to a complex food web that supports the overall functionality of the ecosystem.
Overall, the positive impact of migration on ecosystems is vast and essential to the functioning and survival of various species and the ecosystem as a whole.
The Negative Impact of Migration on Ecosystems
While migration plays a vital role in the functioning and maintenance of ecosystems, it can also have adverse effects on them. One of the significant negative impacts of migration is the introduction of invasive species.
Invasive species are non-native species that can cause significant ecological harm to the ecosystem. They can outcompete native species for resources, leading to the displacement of native species. This can result in a decrease in biodiversity and the deterioration of the ecosystem’s overall health and functioning.
Migration can also result in the transmission of diseases and parasites that can affect the health and survival of native species. For example, the introduction of the West Nile virus in North America had a significant impact on bird populations, resulting in the decline of certain species.
The negative impact of migration is also evident in the overexploitation of resources. For example, migratory fish populations have declined significantly due to excessive fishing, which has led to a decrease in the overall productivity and functioning of ecosystems.
In conclusion, while migration of organisms plays a vital role in the structure and functioning of ecosystems, it is important to mitigate the negative impacts to preserve the overall health and diversity of the ecosystem.
The concepts of microevolution and migration are fundamental in the study of ecosystems. These processes have a significant impact on the distribution and diversity of species within a given environment. Microevolution refers to the evolutionary changes that occur within a population over time, while migration refers to the movement of individuals of a species from one location to another. In this article, we explore how microevolution and migration work together to affect ecosystems.
The Role of Microevolution in Ecosystems
Microevolution is a process that occurs over generations and brings about changes in a population. It involves the alteration of allele frequencies in a population due to genetic drift or natural selection. Genetic drift refers to random fluctuations in the frequency of alleles in a gene pool, while natural selection refers to the process where individuals with advantageous traits are selected for survival and reproduction. These changes in alleles and gene frequency can lead to the emergence of new species or variations within a species. In ecosystems, these microevolutionary changes can lead to adaptations that allow a species to better survive in a particular environment.
The Role of Migration in Ecosystems
Migration is the movement of individuals of a species from one location to another. It can occur seasonally or year-round and can be due to various reasons, including foraging, breeding, and avoiding harsh climates. Migration can also be the result of human activities, such as transportation of species to new habitats. The introduction of new individuals to an environment can contribute to genetic diversity, leading to the emergence of new traits and adaptations.
The Link between Microevolution and Migration in Ecosystems
Microevolution and migration are closely linked processes that can interact to affect ecosystems. The genetic variation introduced by migration can produce changes within a population and lead to microevolutionary changes in species. For example, consider an environment where a population of birds is facing a scarcity of food due to competition. If a group of birds with a genetic variation that allows them to consume a new food source migrate and mate with the local population, they can introduce the gene for that adaptation to the population, leading to microevolutionary change over time.
How Microevolution and Migration Affect Biodiversity in Ecosystems
Microevolution and migration both contribute to the diversity of species within an ecosystem. Genetic variation resulting from migration can increase the genetic diversity of a population, leading to variations in traits and adaptations that enhance survival. Over time, these microevolutionary changes can result in the emergence of new species. The introduction of new species due to migration can also disrupt the existing ecosystem by changing the competitive relationships between species. This can lead to the decline of native species and the emergence of new invasive species that can alter the ecosystem.
Conversely, the loss of genetic diversity due to a lack of migration can lead to a decrease in overall biodiversity within an ecosystem. The reduced genetic diversity makes a population more vulnerable to environmental changes, such as habitat destruction and changing climate conditions. This makes it difficult for species to evolve adaptations to new conditions, and can ultimately lead to the extinction of species.
Overall, microevolution and migration are critical mechanisms that influence the diversity, distribution, and adaptation of species within ecosystems. Understanding how these processes interact is essential for managing and conserving ecosystems in today’s changing world.
Microevolution and migration are two important biological processes that help maintain and shape the diversity of life on earth. These processes often work together to influence and impact a given ecosystem. While both processes have been studied extensively on their own, their combined effect on ecosystems is still not fully understood.
Microevolution involves small-scale genetic changes (e.g., changes in allele frequencies) that occur over short periods of time. These changes can be influenced by a number of factors, such as natural selection, genetic drift, and mutation. Microevolution can lead to the development of new species over time. But in the short term, it can also affect the dynamics of an ecosystem. For example:
- Changes in predator-prey relationships can occur due to differences in prey resistance or predator efficiency
- Changes in parasite-host interactions can occur due to the evolution of host resistance or parasite virulence
- Changes in plant-insect interactions can occur due to the evolution of herbivore resistance or plant defense mechanisms
Migration is the movement of individuals or populations from one location to another. This can occur on a small or large scale and can be influenced by a number of factors, such as resource availability, habitat quality, and competition. Migration can have different effects on ecosystems depending on the characteristics of the species involved and the scale of the movement. For example:
- The arrival of a new species in an ecosystem can lead to competition with resident species and changes in community structure
- The departure of a species from an ecosystem can lead to changes in the population dynamics of other species relying on it for resources
- The seasonal movement of animals can impact the distribution and abundance of plant species
The Combined Effect on Ecosystems
Microevolution and migration can interact with each other to have a combined effect on ecosystems. For example, microevolution can influence the traits of a species that make it suitable for movement (e.g., the evolution of bird migration). Additionally, migration can affect the genetic diversity of populations via gene flow. There are many factors that influence these processes and their effects on ecosystems. Some examples include:
- The degree to which migration and microevolution occur in a particular population or ecosystem
- The spatial scale and timing of these processes
- The environmental and ecological factors that impact the fitness of species undergoing these processes
- The potential for gene flow and genetic exchange to occur among populations undergoing migration and microevolution
Microevolution and migration are important biological processes that can have significant effects on ecosystems. While the study of these processes in isolation has greatly increased our understanding of evolution and population dynamics, it is increasingly apparent that they are better viewed as complementary processes interacting with one another in the context of natural ecosystems. Future studies of these processes and their interactions will be critical for understanding how ecosystems operate and how they can be managed effectively in the face of global change.

The Book of You: A Novel by Claire Kendal
Amazon Softcover Price (~$14)
Description From Amazon:
A mesmerizing tale of psychological suspense about a woman who must fight to escape an expert manipulator determined to possess her, Claire Kendal’s debut novel is a sophisticated and disturbing portrait of compulsion, control, and terror that will appeal to fans of Before I Go to Sleep, The Silent Wife, and Into the Darkest Corner.
His name is Rafe, and he is everywhere Clarissa turns. At the university where she works. Her favorite sewing shop. The train station. Outside her apartment. His messages choke her voice mail; his gifts litter her mailbox. Since that one regrettable night, his obsession with her has grown, becoming more terrifying with each passing day. And as Rafe has made clear, he will never let her go.
Clarissa’s only escape from this harrowing nightmare is inside a courtroom—where she is a juror on a trial involving a victim whose experiences eerily parallel her own. There she finds some peace and even makes new friends, including an attractive widower named Robert, whose caring attentions make her feel desired and safe. But as a disturbingly violent crime unfolds in the courtroom, Clarissa realizes that to survive she must expose Rafe herself. Conceiving a plan, she begins collecting the evidence of Rafe’s madness to use against him—a record of terror that will force her to relive every excruciating moment she desperately wants to forget. Proof that will reveal the twisted, macabre fairy tale that Rafe has spun around them . . . with an ending more horrifying than her darkest fears.
Masterfully constructed, filled with exquisite tension and a pervasive sense of menace, The Book of You explores the lines between love and compulsion, fantasy and reality, and offers a heart-stopping portrait of a woman determined to survive. Claire Kendal’s extraordinary debut will haunt readers long after it reaches its terrifying, breathtaking conclusion.

UN agencies join forces to fight drug cultivation in rural communities
An agreement signed in Vienna between Yury Fedotov, Executive Director of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), and Kandeh K. Yumkella, Director-General of the UN Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), will set up a partnership that promotes industrial development, job creation, drug control and crime prevention as vehicles for rural poverty alleviation and development around the world.
“I am confident that the first and ultimate beneficiaries of our joint work will be those living at the grass-root level, the poor rural communities that often find themselves dependent on the cultivation of drug crops,” stated Mr. Yumkella.
“We need to ensure that they are provided the tools to support their livelihoods, through capacity building activities and job opportunities,” he added, suggesting that Afghanistan, a country afflicted by the widespread cultivation of opium poppy from which the drug heroin is obtained, could host a joint UNODC-UNIDO pilot project.
The new agreement builds on a previous collaboration between the two agencies which sought to provide opium poppy growing communities in Laos with alternative livelihoods as well as rehabilitating opium addicts.
“The memorandum of understanding will help establish a strategic partnership in the spirit of One UN that supports sustainable development and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals in countries such as Afghanistan,” added Mr. Fedotov.
Bolivia, Colombia, Peru and Thailand are among other counties that have already successfully implemented development-oriented drug control programmes. In the Andean countries, in particular, jobs have been created through forestry activities and vocational training, while food security and nutrition have also been enhanced.
In addition, the weaning of rural communities off of the cultivation of illicit drug crops has also resulted in the empowerment of women, who have set up their own businesses through micro-credit initiatives.
The new joint UN venture will focus on private sector development by placing special emphasis on micro-, small and medium enterprises, agro-business development and environmental management.

Miriama makes waves as part of a new Wellington beautification project
13 May 2020
Designed and painted by artist Miriama Grace-Smith, Kilbirnie is the proud home to one of New Zealand’s newest murals. Brought to life in a rich assortment of Resene paint colours, the finished mural, titled ‘Te Taiao’, can be seen on the grounds of EBIS Wellington on the Tacy Street netball court wall – and is well worth viewing in person if you’re walking around the neighbourhood.
Commissioned by the Kilbirnie Business Network as part of the Kilbirnie Beautification Project, Miriama says the mural took three weeks to complete. Resene Aquarius, Resene Seeker and Resene Groovy are among the key colours featured in it.
“The mural depicts the birds and marine life that inhabit the Wellington coastline and sea. Dolphins play in the harbour, an octopus slides across the ocean floor, paua and kina live in rock pools and shags dry their wings on the rocks. The Wellington wind has given rise to a mighty wave which separates land and sea,” she says.
“The biggest challenge for me, given that I was painting this mural in Wellington, was the unpredictable weather. There were many days that began with perfect weather that would suddenly turn in to terrible weather. Most days, I found myself battling with the Wellington wind.”
Miriama was assisted by friends Reuben Butler and Xoe Hall during its creation.
As a multi-disciplinary artist, Miriama’s work stretches across such a wide range of mediums, which includes street art, clothing, shoes, visual art and skate decks, among many others.
“My favourite mediums to work in are painting and printmaking, and I use Resene paint in the creation of most of my works. In particular, I've found Resene paint to be great to work with when I paint murals, canvases, skateboard decks and even footwear.”
However, commissioned work like murals often pushed an artist’s boundaries into new realms, which can lead to new discovery.
“I used a lot of the Resene Seeker for the sea on the Te Taiao mural, and it has now become my favourite Resene colour,” she shares.
When it comes to her style, Miriama finds that it seems to change a lot depending on her inspiration and influences.
“I like the challenge of learning new styles,” she says. “But if I was to describe my style, I would describe it as being contemporary Māori. I have also been influenced by a number of artists, to name a few there is Robyn Kahu Kiwa, John Walsh, E. Mervyn Taylor and Michel Tuffery.”
Miriama Grace-Smith stands before her brand new mural titled ‘Te Taiao’, part of the Kilbirnie Beautification Project. Resene Aquarius, Resene Seeker and Resene Groovy are among the hues she used to create it. The mural can be viewed on the grounds of EBIS Wellington on the Tacy Street netball court wall.

Ukrainians investigated over election disinformation
Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn are investigating whether several Ukrainian officials helpedorchestrate a wide-ranging plan to meddle in the 2020 presidential campaign, including the possible use of Rudolph Giuliani to spread disinformation about Joe Biden and tilt the election in Donald Trump’s favor, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
In December 2019, Giuliani, then Trump’s personal lawyer, met with several Ukrainians, including Andriy Derkach, a member of Parliament who was later accused by Trump’s Treasury Department of being “an active Russian agent.”
Yesterday, Giuliani’s lawyer defended the search for information about Biden, disputing the assertion that Giuliani had relied on misleading information. “When you investigate allegations of corruption, you talk to all sorts of people; some are credible, and some are not,” he said, adding that “some day the truth will come out” about Biden’s dealings in Ukraine.
Denials: In an interview last year, Giuliani said there was nothing to dissuade him from meeting with Derkach, who was not under sanctions at the time. “I have no reason to believe he is a Russian agent,” Giuliani said.
Surrendering to the Taliban
As the U.S. completes its withdrawal from Afghanistan, more than 25 rural Afghan government outposts and bases in four provinces have surrendered to the Taliban, with each facility’s or town’s surrender feeding the next.
Among the negotiated surrenders were those of four district centers, which house local governors, police personnel and intelligence chiefs. People have been influenced by threats — with insurgents essentially sending the message to give up or die — as well as by bribes.
The Taliban have negotiated Afghan troop surrenders in the past, but never at the scale and pace of the base collapses this month, in the four provinces extending east, north and west of Kabul. The militants have secured key territory, weapons, ammunition and vehicles, often without firing a shot.
Quote: “The government is not able to save the security forces,” said Mohammed Jalal, a village elder in Baghlan Province. “If they fight, they will be killed, so they have to surrender.”
Unexamined intelligence on coronavirus origins
President Biden’s call for a 90-day investigation into the origins of the coronavirus came after intelligence officials said they had a raft of still-unexamined evidence that required additional computer analysis.
Though officials declined to describe that evidence, the revelations suggest that the government may not have exhausted its databases of Chinese communications, the movements of lab workers and the pattern of the initial outbreak of the disease around the city of Wuhan.
Biden has committed to making the results of the review public, but he added a caveat: “unless there’s something I’m unaware of.”
Details: In addition to marshaling scientific resources, the push is intended to prod American allies and intelligence agencies to mine existing information and to hunt for new intelligence to determine whether the Chinese government covered up an accidental lab leak.
Vaccine sweetener: Following a slump in U.S. vaccinations, states and businesses are offering more incentives for the unvaccinated, including chances to win money, vacations or a Super Bowl trip. In Ohio, a 22-year-old woman thought it was a prank when she received a call telling her she had won $1 million in a vaccine lottery.
Here are the latest updates on the virus and maps of the pandemic.
In other developments:
The mayor of a former mining community in Poland received death threats and was compared to a Nazi after trying to make vaccines obligatory for adults.
Twitter said yesterday that it had received a notice of noncompliance with India’s restrictive tech laws after officials asked the site to remove content critical of the government’s handling of the pandemic.

Following Germany’s far right
“Day X,” a new five-part audio documentary from The Times, examines the rise of a new brand of extremism in Germany, and one shadowy figure in the middle of it. Katrin Bennhold, our Berlin bureau chief, discusses the project in this interview, which has been lightly edited and condensed.
How did you arrive at this series?
The rise of a far-right party, the Alternative for Germany, which was able to make it into the German Parliament and is the biggest opposition party there, is a big deal. Toward the end of 2018, German news media reported that there was this whole network of soldiers and police officers and like-minded civilians who were planning for the day democracy dies: Day X.
Franco A. is the special focus of one episode. He is somebody with racist, absolutist ideas. Why was it important to tell his story?
To me, one of the most frightening and most important features of the new right, as they call themselves — the old right being neo-Nazis and even Nazis — is that the new right believes in the same ideology, but they look different and they talk differently. We have this image of neo-Nazi skinheads in bomber jackets and tattoos. But a lot of these guys blend in much more. I feel we do need to show them out for what they are.

The official Twitter account of Strike Tanaka’s Servamp manga has announced that the manga will resume serialization in the May 2017 issue of Kadokawa’s Monthly Comic Gene magazine, which will be released on April 15, 2017. The Twitter account also stated that Tanaka’s health has recovered. Tanaka had put the manga on hiatus in January 2017 due to pain in her intervertebral disk and shoulder.
The story of the manga is described as:
When a stray black cat named Kuro crosses Mahiru Shirota’s path, the high school freshman’s life will never be the same again. Kuro is, in fact, no ordinary feline, but a Servamp: a servant vampire. While Mahiru’s personal philosophy is one of non-intervention, he soon becomes embroiled in an ancient, altogether surreal conflict between vampires and humans.
Tanaka launched Servamp in Monthly Comic Gene in 2011. Seven Seas Entertainment is publishing the manga in English.

'Future Bass Vol 3' is the final volume this bestselling series of feel-good Construction Kits inspired by The Chainsmokers, Flume & Marshmello. Quintessential gated pads, vocal synth leads, breakdown pianos, guitars and those all-important woodblock snares combine to deliver a product which is sure to help you conquer this influential half-time genre.
Inside you'll find five all-encompassing Construction Kits.Experienced producers will also benefit from the vast array of meticulously designed percussion, risers, noise FX & much more.
MIDI Files Included - Like so many other Producer Loops products, 'Future Bass Vol 3' includes MIDI files for the majority of musical phrases heard in each Kit, allowing you to seamlessly mix your favourite synths and samplers with the sounds contained in the pack.
Advantages of MIDI - While the supplied ACID/WAV, Apple Loops and REX files are extremely flexible and powerful, MIDI has the added benefit of allowing you to go to extremes of pitch and tempo beyond which the loops were originally recorded, with no time stretching or pitch shifting artefacts. Furthermore, you can make tweaks to the riffs so they fit perfectly into your existing mixes.
Dry/Wet Loops - For users looking to simply drag and drop, the 'wet' files contain all of the effects processing heard in the audio demos. But for producers looking to create their own effects mix, 'dry' loops are also included. Don't like the wet loops? No problem; add your own effects.
Unlooped Riffs/Tails - This sample library also comes with unlooped/tail versions allowing you to end a phrase with the decay of the reverb/delay applied to the loop, another "Producer Loops" exclusive product feature.
Royalty-Free - All of the loops in this product are 100% Royalty-Free (including the vocal loops), so once purchased, you can use these loops in your commercial releases without having to pay any hidden costs.

CONDE NAST TRAVELER readers named Newport the fifth best small city in the U.S. The publication cited the Chanler at Cliff Walk, pictured above, and the Castle Hill Inn & Resort as two of the top places to stay in the city.
NEWPORT – Readers of Conde Nast Traveler have voted Newport one of the best small cities in America for the publication’s 26th annual Readers’ Choice Awards.
The rankings, based on 1.3 million votes from nearly 80,000 readers who participated in the 2013 survey, were published last week. Santa Fe, N.M., claimed the top spot in the list of best small cities for its “art, architecture, food and crafts” reflecting Native American, Spanish and Mexican culture.
Newport ranked fifth and was the only city in the Northeast to make the list.
“The City by the Sea, at the southern tip of Aquidneck Island, is bursting with an unparalleled collection of colonial buildings, jaw-dropping Golden Age mansions (“summer cottages” for the Vanderbilts and their ilk), and long beaches,” wrote Conde Nast Traveler.
The magazine specifically cited the Chanler at Cliff Walk and the Castle Hill Inn & Resort as two of the top places to stay in the city. Both hotels were named among the best 15 hotels in New England in the 2013 Readers’ Choice Awards.
The complete list of Best Small Cities in America is as follows:

Bettlebrox noticed the Alexander Hamilton statue on the Commonwealth Avenue Mall had some new headgear today.
A guy who followed a man who'd dated his ex into the men's room at Eastern Standard, burst into the stall the man was in and beat him up has been banned from the 528 Commonwealth Ave. restaurant, a manager told the Boston Licensing Board this morning. Read more.
Jonathan Levitt spotted this spun-out BU shuttle bus at Packards Corner shortly before 10:30 tonight.
Seems somebody's car just up and died while the motorist was trying to cross the Green Line and now the T is busing riders between Washington and Babcock streets, because while a trolley ramming the car out of the way at full speed would be spectacular, it might scratch up the trolley.
The MBTA reports "moderate" delays on the B Line due to a trolley past its expiration date at Sutherland Road.
The MBTA reports "minor" outbound delays on the B Line due to a trolley that bit the dust at Warren Street.
The MBTA reports "minor" delay on the B Line inbound due to a train that kicked the bucket at Harvard Avenue.
But this is Brighton, so one can only stare in amazement at this listing for a $75,000 deeded parking space. Brighton.
Why, yes, the B Line is stuck this rush hour because the driver of a U-Haul van somehow managed to get it stuck on the tracks near the BU Bridge. Annie Whitehouse, who captured the moment for posterity, suggests:
U-Haul stuck on the tracks at the BU Bridge is the most Allston thing to ever happen.
At least since the last most Allston thing to ever happen, back in 2015.
Mike Cauley shows us the $25 ticket he got at 9:33 a.m. today for parking on Comm. Ave. in Allston despite having used the city parking app to pay for parking between 8 a.m. and 10:02 a.m.
15/16 cars had tickets. No checking of payment via the app. Technology should add convenience not be troublesome
"Moderate" delays on the Green Line out to BC due to a trolley that died where B Line trolleys always seem to die - at the curve at Packard's Corner, the MBTA advises.
MassDOT reports that as of 5 a.m., the Commonwealth Avenue bridge over the turnpike is open again and Green Line trolleys are going hither and yon and life is just back to normal and all.
MassDOT reports that the complete re-opening of the Commonwealth Avenue bridge near the BU Bridge has been delayed for several days due to grouting taking longer than expected and the need to hold off pouring some concrete because of recent rains.
Weather permitting, trolley service on the MBTA Green Line B-Branch and private vehicle access to the Commonwealth Avenue Bridge and Boston University Bridge and local roadways will resume by the middle of the upcoming week.
MassDOT reports it's returning the turnpike in Allston to the full four lanes in both directions tomorrow morning, three weeks ahead of schedule.
The news is not quite as good for people who drive on the road above the turnpike - or take the Green Line, though: Work there to replace half of the Commonwealth Avenue bridge will continue through next week.
Jacquelyn Goddard at MassDOT shows us some of the work to replace half the Commonwealth Avenue bridge in front of the BU Bridge over the next three weeks.
Earlier, John McLachlan took a look at where the Green Line used to be:
The long awaited, little anticipated shutdown of the Comm. Ave. bridge began at 9 p.m., affecting motorists, Green Line and bus riders, Worcester Line riders and the braver souls heading to Springfield and Chicago on Amtrak. Boston Magazine runs down the details of the work, which the state says is pretty necessary on account of the bridge falling apart.
Boston firefighters are at the Comm Ave. bridge inbound over the turnpike and the Worcester Line train tracks, where some large steel plates over a construction zone have settled too much, leading to concern they might give way. MassDOT engineers have been requested to the scene.

calculation of battery performance by way of SOT is wrong. you mean to say one had nothing else to do but to sit in front of your phone for 6 or 8 hours glued to the screen. That's impossible unless you have nothing else to do. there are apps working in the background too which consumes battery. so it's not possible for accurate data on battery performance as it depends upon individual usage. For me I am happy as my battery gives me a day and half till my next charge. So I am not bothered about screen on time. Good day.

What is an Inertial Navigation System ?
- inertial refers to the acceleration of a body due to forces other than gravitation. Inertia is an object's resistance to being accelerated by a force. The inertial navigation system uses inertial sensors and motion-sensing devices that help determine position coordinates for aircraft, spacecraft, watercraft or land vehicles without outside references such as GPS. However, inertial navigation systems are not perfect and have been known to drift from time-to-time. There are many different types of inertial systems used today including: accelerometers, gyroscopes and magnetometers. This article will discuss these three different types in detail as well as how they work together with one another in order to make up a typical inertial navigation system.
What kind of systems are present in the inertial navigation system?
What inertial navigation systems are used today and how do they work together to make up a typical inertial navigation system?
Inertia is an object's resistance to being accelerated by a force. What does this mean in relation to the inertial navigation system?
How does inertial navagation compare with other navigational systems such as GPS, radio direction finding (RDF), Loran C or Omega Navigation System ?
To what extent can inertial navigation systems drift from time-to-time?
What are motion-sensing devices?
Motion sensing devices use inertial sensors in order to determine where they are located and what the surroundings look like around them. How do inertial navigation systems work together with one another? All three types of inertials need each other for a complete system, as explained below: Accelerometers - Measure acceleration experienced by an object or platform Gyroscopes - Detect rotational movement Magnetometer - Determine position coordinates via measuring Earth's magnetic field Inertia is an object's resistance to being accelerated by a force. What does this mean in relation to the inertial navigation system? The inertial navagation system uses inertal sensor which helps determine position coordinates for aircraft, these coordinates are then follow and the inertial system is able to detect any changes in velocity.
What are inertial sensors?
Inertial sensors measure inertial properties which include the acceleration, rotation and magnetic field around an object or platform relative to a moving reference frame e.g Earth . What do you mean by "relative" movement of an inertial sensor? An inertal senors measures it's inertal properties against another objects' motion picture reference frame , so instead of measuring its own movements against fixed point within itself, it makes measurements relative to that external reference frame i.e earth How does inertia navigation compare with other navigational systems such as GPS, RDF, Loran C or Omega Navigation System ? All three types of inertials need each other for a complete inertial navigation system.
To what extent can inertial navigation systems drift from time-to-time? There are many factors that influence the ability of an inertial to remain accurate over time. For example, since they do not require any outside references for operation (such as GPS), inertials will never lose their accuracy.
