It feeds on cephalopods, cutthroat eels, grenadiers, snake mackerel, and lanternsharks. The sluggish bathydemersal false catshark, shown here at a depth of 1,200 meters, has an enormous oil-filled liver which lets it hover off the continental slope at near- neutral buoyancy. The side to which one eye migrates depends on the species with some species both eyes are ultimately on the left side, whereas with other species the eyes are on the right. The flatfish then changes its habits, and camouflages itself by lying on the bottom of the ocean floor with both eyes facing upwards. But as the fish grows from the larval stage, one eye migrates to the other side of the body as a process of metamorphosis. When the fish hatches, one eye is located on each side of its head. The adult fish of many species have both eyes on one side of the head. Examples are flounder, sole, turbot, plaice, and halibut. Benthic fish which can bury themselves include dragonets, flatfish and stingrays.įlatfish are an order of ray-finned benthic fishes which lie flat on the ocean floor. They either lie-and-wait as ambush predators, at times covering themselves with sand or otherwise camouflaging themselves, or move actively over the bottom in search for food. Those bottom feeders with upward-pointing mouths, such as stargazers, tend to seize swimming prey.īenthic fish are denser than water, so they can rest on the sea floor. Also, many exhibit what is termed an "inferior" mouth, which means that the mouth is pointed downwards this is beneficial as their food is often below them in the substrate. The exception may be the flatfish, which are laterally depressed but lie on their sides. Most demersal fish exhibit a flat ventral region so as to more easily rest their body on the substrate. With demersal fish the sand is usually pumped out of the mouth through the gill slit. ![]() Īs with other bottom feeders, a mechanism to deal with substrate is often necessary. Benthic flatfish and benthopelagic cod on a shore – Jan van Kessel senior, 1626–1679ĭemersal fish can be divided into two main types: strictly benthic fish which can rest on the sea floor, and benthopelagic fish which can float in the water column just above the sea floor.īenthopelagic fish have neutral buoyancy, so they can float at depth without much effort, while strictly benthic fish are denser, with negative buoyancy so they can lie on the bottom without any effort. ![]()

![]() ![]() So as long as that danger is there, I think people like supporting collabs like this, because it’s a way to pamper yourself and express self-care, but it’s also a way to use your voice and participate in a great conversation. Of course, it’s easier on the coasts and the major cities, but there’s a lot of places right here in America where Kim and I would not be safe walking from the club to our hotel. It’s extremely wholesome and playful, you know? And I mean, it’s wonderful to see the needle move, but part of what makes people interested in a brand like Kim Chi’s or mine or anything drag queen driven is that the truth is Kim and I wearing the wrong outfit in the wrong part of the United States could still be killed. And I think now that people have realized it’s just people doing Halloween costumes - of course, it’s a huge political statement - but there’s nothing disarming or scary about drag. “Isn’t Elvira drag? Isn’t Pee-wee Herman drag? Isn’t Tyler Perry doing Madea drag? All this drag has been in people’s faces for so long. “I think people are finally asking themselves the question of what is drag,” said Mattel. Out direct-to-consumer on Thursday, the BFF4EVR collection comprises a $45 palette with 20 shades - a mix of earth tones, bright pigments and glitter - a $16 blush and $28 highlighter, each with two colors, as well as $15 demi-matte lipsticks in four shades, $15 liquid lipsticks with a matte finish in four shades and a merch folding fan.Ībout 80 percent of drag queen fans are “females in their twenties,” she went on, adding drag queens are the originators of major trends and techniques in beauty like baking, highlighting and contouring. “It was a little over a year ago that we started conceiving of the products.” “Selfishly, part of this is just about two friends wanting to hang out,” said Mattel. Life has gotten busy, and they’ve reunited to collaborate. They would both end up making the cut to join “ RuPaul’s Drag Race,” appearing on separate seasons. Now I have more foundation than I know what to do with.” “Imagine Kim and I trying to find a shade that kind of worked for both of us, because we were on a budget,” added Mattel. ![]() “There was a time when we put our money together just to buy foundation for our gig that evening,” said Chi. “Honestly, besides the fact that we were struggling financially to pull together looks, we both have talked and said it’s probably the happiest times of our lives.” Kim Chi is a South-Korean drag queen who is most known for being in the top 3 of RuPauls Drag Race season 8. “We would couch surf with each other every weekend, working for enough money to catch the train and get food,” said Mattel, who’s originally from Milwaukee. ![]() They would help one another, bring each other out on drag gigs. Brentwood Country Mart Marks 75th Anniversary ![]() ![]() ![]() Of course, a customer retention rate of 100% would be ideal, but even the largest companies in an industry rarely achieve this metric – and, more importantly, lower rates are far more common for small businesses. This value is approximately that of many industry-leading companies. When you plug these values into the customer retention rate formula, you get the following: Over this quarter, you gain 40 customers but lose 10. ![]() Let’s say that, at the beginning of the most recent quarter, your company had 120 customers. You can convert this decimal to a percentage by multiplying it by 100. When you calculate your customer retention rate, you will see a decimal as the value. Using the above variables, this is the customer retention rate (CRR) formula: Your number of lost customers matters only when calculating E, which is the sum of S and the difference between your gained and lost customers. As such, if you gain 30 customers but lose 12, use 30 for N, not 30 – 12 = 18. Note that N refers to the number of customers you gained, independent of whether you lost any customers.

Naval analyst Miles Yu, writing in the newsletter Geostrategy Direct, stated that Russia announced in February it is stepping up submarine patrols in strategic waters around the world in a throwback to the Soviet period. The official said the deployment appeared to be part of efforts by the Russian navy to re-establish its blue-water naval power projection capabilities. The submarine is currently believed to be in international waters several hundred miles from the United States. Navy deploys a series of underwater sonar sensors set up at strategic locations near the United States that detected the submarine sometime late last month.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead is Michelle, a woman who wakes up in an underground bunker, chained to the wall, after having been knocked out by a car accident. Aronofsky's film makes excellent use of its meta fable-within-a-fable as both the movie and the ballet spin faster and faster towards inevitable tragedy. On stage, the same ballerina plays both parts. I recently re-watched seasons 1-4 (don't bother with 5) and found there are tons of references to events that aren't explained until several episodes (sometimes even a few seasons.

You seem to be interested in movies that have a rewarding re-watch experience. In "Swan Lake," a beautiful princess dressed in white named Odette is turned into a swan by an evil nobleman sorcerer. "Black Swan" gets its title from one of the characters in Tchiakovsky's ballet. Nina becomes a victim of her own blind jealously when a new member joins the company (Mila Kunis) and threatens to outshine her. Professional ballet is notoriously competitive, so as Nina ascends, she faces backlash from other girls in the company who accuse her of seducing Thomas. She's technically perfect, but Thomas thinks she lacks passion. When the previous prima donna (Winona Ryder) is forced to retire, Nina has a chance to dance the lead in Tchaikovsky's famed "Swan Lake," an opportunity that would be the pinnacle in any ballerina's career. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is a variety of clear quartz and closely related to Amethyst, Citrine and Smokey Quartz. Like all pink crystals, it creates and attracts love, kindness, appreciation, and compassion. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ROSE QUARTZ AND PINK QUARTZ? It is widely available and typically sourced in Brazil, Madagascar, India, South Africa and the United States. It forms in massive deposits, also in clusters and points. This creates an impurity in the quartz that causes the rose-coloured appearance, thereby forming Rose Quartz. If titanium is present during the cooling process, it combines with the silicon and oxygen that forms the quartz crystals. The natural formation of quartz crystals occurs when elements combine through the process of magma crystallization. The calm and peaceful properties of Rose Quartz can also help you strengthen your sensation of self-love, promoting happiness and joy. It is like a beautiful relaxing bath for the soul. It is a stone best known for self-healing, especially when trying to heal love-based upsets such as a relationship break-up or the loss of a loved one. Since it supports all types of love, including self-love and romantic love, it is associated with the Planet Venus and the Heart Chakra. The stone was honoured in Tibetan, Indian and Chinese culture and it continues to be one of the most popular stones for carving in China.

Even at these low power levels, with a properly tuned external antenna, the effective range is about a 20 foot radius. Wave Bubble output power is relatively low at. The user can even enter more than one frequency range and the device will advance to the next frequency in memory each time it is powered off and on. Wave Bubble jamming frequency tuning is done by plugging the device into the USB port on a computer and entering the frequencies that are to be blocked. The Wave Bubble (also refered to as Wavebubble) is tunable and can be used to jam two-band systems such as cell and single-band systems like cordless phones, GPS, WiFi and Bluetooth devices. One of the more popular home-made jammers is called the Wave Bubble, a self-tuning, wide-bandwidth portable RF (Radio Frequency) jammer that is small enough to fit inside a pack of cigarettes.
