"Wilsonia" warblers feed on insects, often caught by flycatching, and they have distinctive songs and loud "chip" calls. Some authorities suggest that the genus "Wilsonia" should include the red-faced warbler, which is generally put in the genus "Cardellina". Recent genetic research has however suggested that the type species of "Wilsonia" (hooded warbler "W. citrina") and of "Setophaga" (American redstart "S. ruticilla") are closely related and should be merged into the same genus.

title: Pre-ferment content: Pre-ferment A pre-ferment (also known as bread starter) is a "fermentation starter" used in "indirect" methods of bread making. It may also be called mother dough. A pre-ferment and a longer fermentation in the bread-making process have several benefits: there is more time for yeast, enzyme and, if sourdough, bacterial actions on the starch and proteins in the dough; this in turn improves the keeping time of the baked bread, and it creates greater complexities of flavor. Though pre-ferments have declined in popularity as "direct" additions of yeast in bread recipes have streamlined the process on a commercial level, pre-ferments


title: Pre-ferment content: of various forms are widely used in artisanal bread recipes and formulas. In general, there are two pre-ferment varieties: sponges, based on baker's yeast, and the starters of sourdough, based on wild yeasts and lactic-acid bacteria. There are several kinds of pre-ferment commonly named and used in bread baking. They all fall on a varying process and time spectrum, from a mature "mother dough" of many generations of age to a first-generation sponge based on a fresh batch of baker's yeast: The common, but undocumented, origin given for the term "poolish" is that it was first used by Polish bakers


title: Pre-ferment content: around 1840, hence its name, and as a method was brought to France in the beginning of the 1920s. "Poolish" however is an old English version of "Polish", whereas the term seems to be most used in France (where "polonais" is the word for "Polish"). Some nineteenth-century sources use the homophone "pouliche", a French word that typically means a female foal. With either spelling, the term only appears in French sources towards the last part of the nineteenth century. There is not currently any credible explanation for the origin of the term. A pre-ferment is easy to make and usually


title: Pre-ferment content: consists of a simple mixture of wheat flour, water, and a leavening agent (typically yeast). Two schools of thought exist regarding the inclusion of salt or sugar. They both act to inhibit or slow yeast growth, as determined by time to proof or rise, so they are not usually included and instead are added to the final dough. Ultimately, the amounts of each ingredient, and when they are added, depend on pre-ferment and final-dough formulas. In some countries (mainly Eastern Europe, Baltic and Nordic countries) rye flour is also used to make a starter. Traditional Finnish rye starter consists of


title: Pre-ferment content: only rye flour and water, no sugar or yeast. Some might also use yogurt to fasten the starter to rise. When expressed as a bakers' percentage, 50 parts of flour added to 50 parts of water or 1-to-1 is 100% hydration, and results in a relatively fluid pre-ferment. Stiffer doughs such as 50% hydration or 2-to-1, may also be used. After mixing it is allowed to ferment for a period of time, and then is added to the final dough as a substitute for or in addition to more yeast. There are distinctly different "brew" types of pre-ferments designed for


title: Pre-ferment content: computer-controlled bakeries that use a rather different series of ingredients, including oxidizers, needed for continuous dough-production processes. Fermentation is sometimes performed in a warm place, or a humidity- and temperature-controlled environment. Cooler-than-room or refrigeration temperatures decelerate growth and increase the time interval, while slightly warmer temperatures accelerate growth and decrease the time interval. Too warm of a temperature slows growth, while even higher temperatures will kill the yeast. Death of the yeast cells occur in the range of . When cooling a levain or sourdough pre-ferment, if the dough temperature drops below it affects the culture and leads to the


title: Pre-ferment content: loss of a particular aroma in the baked bread. To allow room for the pre-ferment to rise, the ingredients are mixed in a container at least four or five times their volume. This is about the point in time when some process similarities of yeast pre-ferments to sourdough or levain starters begins to diverge. The typical amounts of time allotted for the yeast pre-ferment period may range from 2–16 hours, depending on the dough's temperature and the added amount of viable yeast, often expressed as a bakers' percentage. Spontaneous sourdough starters take, at a minimum, several days, and are subject


title: Pre-ferment content: to many variables. To make a sourdough starter from scratch, the minimum-needed ingredients are flour, water, and time. This starter is maintained with daily feedings or refreshments of fresh flour and water or, new dough. It ferments at room temperature until the desired age or minimal number of refreshments, following a refreshment schedule that may include acceleration of time intervals leading into the final dough, then is added to the final dough. When maintaining a starter's existing weight, it is advised to discard 60% (or more) of the starter, replacing that discarded dough with new dough. If an increased amount


title: Pre-ferment content: of starter is required, simply add new dough. 40-parts-to-60-parts of old-dough-to-new-dough by weight, or 2-to-3, is known as the back-slopping ratio, and changes to that ratio change the pH of the just-refreshed dough. To make a "primary-culture levain", Raymond Calvel used salt, but less of it than would be typical for many final-dough formulas.

Many condo hotels, especially the branded condo hotels, have seen double-digit growth, and have out-performed traditional condos or single family homes in the same resort market. Condo hotels units are fee simple deeded real estate, and can be bought and sold like other forms of real estate. Because of the lack of resale data available for many of the emerging markets where pre-construction condo hotels can be found, experts heed caution when considering a condo hotel purchase for investment purposes

Subsequently, Cooper went through her catalogue of unused tracks that she had written over the last two or three years and sung the chorus of every single song against Higgins' piece of drumming. Three hours later, she sang the lyrics 'round round baby round round' to Higgings, who said "that's it, that's amazing." The music video for "Round Round" was directed by Phil Griffin.
