Elements of the Psychological Thriller, Mystery, Suspense and/or Crime Fiction Genres

Last week I attempted to define some elements expected of the typical reader in a psychological thriller. Although the attempt was a good one, it left me with some problems localising the differences between what a mystery, crime fiction and thriller is.
Those thoughts were put into a large post on Mystery, Thriller and Crime fiction. In that post I realised that like a lot of writers, and a lot of experts in writing, the cross-flow between these genres provides a difficulty in localising one genre we might like our books to be catergorised into, if forced to do this on bookshelves or websites.
What came out of this, however, was a rewrite of the initial post on elements that the reader may expect. I've now provided a more catergorised list of elements below. This post will be kept updated with any new ideas in the future.
Genres and Sub-Genres
Below you will find a list of elements expected of the typical fiction reader for several genres and sub-genres, the genres (loosely) being –
Detective, Noir, Hardboiled, Cosy Mystery
Crime Mystery
But first, I'm going to start with First Chapter expectations.
First chapter –
Based on readings, crime or police procedurals and many psychological thrillers tend to start with either a chapter one or prologue showing a scene of high action or a crime – often a murder of a victim through the victim's or killer's point of view.
The opening image is one of action, and often showing the threat found through the story. It can be atmospheric or provide a sense of foreboding, drawing the reader in to further reading.
Thriller and crime fiction readers expect to meet the antagonist or see a hint of crime or the threat right upfront.
The first sentence and paragraph needs to have a good hook, and the whole chapter needs to provide a sense of tension and threat. (Seat of pants reading).
Chapter two leads into the normal everyday life of the hero before she is pulled into the action or suspense.
Reader expectations of the genre(s) –
I've broken these down as much as possible into typical elements which are commonly related to specific genres.
However, mystery and thrillers all deal with suspense, the difference normally being in the pace and action components, and the reader's privaledge of knowing or not knowing the antagonist before the hero does. Note also that psychological thrillers can be slightly different from other sub-genres such as action, spy or other thrillers.
Where common elements can be found across the genre domain, they are listed first.
Note: these are general tropes and expectations. As with all fiction, these rules are often broken, and new expectations form with breakthrough novels. I'll try to keep my own list up to date as I go along.
Common Elements to the Suspense, Mystery and/or Thriller Genres.
Suspense, tension, raising of stakes for the protagonist. Typically the pace of this tension is faster in a thriller against a mystery.
The protagonist must be proactive rather than reactive. He must make things happen, go into action, not sit around with events happening around him.
As with most good fiction, the hero needs to have grown and learnt and ultimately changed by the end of the novel. This character growth is what leads to the main character's ability to get through his darkest hour, and win during the climatic ending.
Typical structural elements to the plot – an inciting incident or turning point that makes the main character move from their everyday and go on their journey to solve the issue, conflict, pace, complications, a darkest hour where everything seems lost, a climatic battle and denouement.
The ending should resolve all loose ends, but provide a satisfactory twist if possible. Good should prevail over bad. And the hero should have learnt something about himself or the human condition.
No Coincidences – although they happen in real life all the time – should be avoided in fiction, even though they can provide character conflict. Readers aren't satisfied by coincidental events or conflict.
Main characters need side-kicks or a supporting cast (complementary characters at various levels. Mentors, confidants, small rivals. Or even another hero in partnership. Even James Bond, who can be thought of as a solitary adventure hero, still needed Q and others to occasionally talk to.
Supporting cast members all come with baggage, so need to be chosen carefully (Hallie Ephron). A good cast member will also provide some more conflict for the hero.
Villains don't necessary need accompanying characters, they can often operate completely alone. If they do have henchmen or minions, one of these may appear to everyone including the reader as being the villain, hiding the real one behind (although this trope has been overused a little recently).
The villain must be equally matched with the hero, somebody as smart, resourceful, determined and as multi-dimensional as the hero. The antagonist must challenge the protagonist to the max, over and over again, winning all the way up to the ultimate showdown. She must be worthy of the reader's hatred, but with multi-dimensions, the reader should also be invited to have 'sympathy for the devil' (Jessica Page Morrell) or at least an understanding of why they are so villainous (even for creatures or paranormal monsters).
The anti-hero. It is possible to have a hero who acts as a baddy, or an anti-hero. Movies nowadays setup viewers expectations that there should be a good winning over bad ending, however television series allow for the anti-hero, who oversteps the law, seeks revenge, is a rebellious little-man, and holds traits that don't generally make him an overall good guy. Anti-heroes should still invoke the reader's sympathies and understanding, however; have easily identified imperfections, and should emphasise human frailty and society's more hidden or darker values. (Via Jessica Path Morrell).
The emphasis in a thriller is typically on plot – action, pace, movement. Not character.
Tension and conflict should start from the very first line and paragraph. If not the actual inciting incident, the first paragraph should create a hook for the reader and set the genre in their mind. Donald Maas calls this initial opening tension a 'bridging tension'.
The villain drives the story – point of view is often shared between the villain and the hero, alternating between scenes.
Contrary to mysteries, in thrillers the reader, and sometimes the hero, know who the killer or antagonist is, often right from the start. The object is for the main character to outwit and stop the villain before it's too late.
The major crime is yet to be committed. Thrillers typically deal with life and death situations, often on a global or national basis. The hero must 'save the day' or 'save the world', although initially he may not know of the scale of the problem. 'The hero has an IMPOSSIBLE mission to foil evil'. (James N. Fey)
Contrary to whodunnit mysteries, thriller readers often are one step ahead of the main character – they can be given scenes involving the villain which the hero can't know about. This increases the suspense.
The hero must continually race to resolve problems, with the stakes being raised each time on them also. Plant obstacles in their way.
High suspense and pace. Thrillers provide obstacles and heightened emotions as the reader runs the gammit of those obstacles and complications, racing to the end, alongside the hero.
Pace can be at breakneck speed, but is better with occasional lulls (let the hero have a minor success, or a non-action scene – with some inner conflict). The lulls allow the overall tension to build slowly to the climax, and act as a point of reader relaxation before the next onslaught.
The fast pace and action of thrillers means the structure of the story is often different than other genres. eg the romance genre utilises the alternating scene & sequel format – there is a scene of action or conflict, then a sequel where the heroine goes away to think over the events, and plan their next action. In a thriller this would slow down the pace if there were thinking sequels like this; instead the decision making and plans are made quickly and on-the-fly in the middle of the action.
Tense and constant conflict scenes – conflict through every scene, whether in dialogue, action, events… the conflict moves the action forward. The conflict must escalate – or undergo change throughout the story. Layer conflict on top of each other, complicate it with twists and turns (Via Donald Maas).
The emphasis on conflict, action and pace means that descriptive passages introducing settings and characters should be kept to a minimum. The same for any exposition or technical details (some genres can break this ie. several thriller authors break action to insert details about artefacts, religion aspects or other details which are looked for by their readers).
Tropes expected and used to heighten the tension is the proverbial "ticking clock" aspect where the problem has to be resolved before something dire happens. The climax has this ticking time bomb resolved "just in the nick of time" .
Humour as a sub-genre doesn't fit well within thrillers – the aspects of humour and fear are dynamically opposed. Humour, if used, should be subtle, and provided via character dynamics and dialogue at times of less tension.
Thrillers are typically known for big save the world plots. If the entire world is threatened by disease, plague, alien invasion, a giant meteor, or similar, readers are a little more likely to suspend their disbelief, and allow for some unrealistic explanations, provided some of the science seems grounded in the world written about.
The main character should be likable, charasmatic, resourceful strong but flawed – vulnerable in some way. If they are not immediately likeable to the reader use a 'save the cat' scene where they can become a hero in a small way out of their ordinary day. The reader wants to root for them.
The main character should really be a "hero" – proactive rather than reactive towards the events (typical of most fiction) but in this case it also means holding skills or motives that puts the protagonist into action, or even possibly willing to make ultimate sacrifices for a cause. The hero can be an everyday woman but she must be clever.
The hero's goals should be known early on in the story.
The villain must be equally matched with the hero, somebody as smart, resourceful, determined and as multi-dimensional as the hero. The antagonist must challenge the protagonist to the max, over and over again, winning all the way up to the ultimate showdown. She must be worthy of the reader's hatred.
The villain's goals oppose those of the hero's, obviously.
Psychological Thrillers
Action and psychological aspects both are used to add to the suspense.
With a psychological thriller the conflict (battle!) is through the mind, skills, and wit of main characters, reversing the more normal thriller "plot over character" expectations ie. a psychological thriller reader needs to understand the character, character can (sometimes) be slightly more important than plot (although I prefer both in equal measures).
Characters shouldn't win using physical talents or efforts, but rather using their mind, wits or smarts.
Elements of drama, mystery and horror can often find themselves in the psychological thriller due to the emphasis on motivation and the mind.
There are Life and death situations and certainly at the end (climax) but this could well involve death or danger to the mind or intrinsic identity or values of the hero rather than a physical threat.
Psychological thrillers often deal with common themes such as death, reality, perception, identity, existence or purpose, and one or two of these themes should be wound through the novel.
Motives and intentions are more important than technical aspects of how a crime is done.
Readers expect the story to focus around both the hero and the villain, via changes in point of view and scenes involving each separately.
The hero drives the story. The villain remains unknown (hopefully) until right at the end.
Neither the reader or the hero in a mystery must know where the artefact is, or who the killer is. Both reader and hero must find out 'whodunnit'.
The crime has already been committed (although there may well be others coming up).
The reader should remain one step behind the main character ie. the reader finds out the clues just as the hero does.
The protagonist must solve a mystery. Often this is a crime / and/or a murder, but there are other mysteries such as a search for an artefact that solves a family or human problem which can provide the mystery also.
Suspense in mysteries, can often be invoked using atmosphere and setting (which in higher-paced thrillers are kept to the minimum) – descriptions of basements, haunted houses, solitary islands, forests, mists, exotic tombs or locations, hushed libraries or museums, or even a bomb package, doomed train, a uniform jacket, a weapon, an object or artefact or similar can all be detailed, and brought back into the reader's mind.
The reader should be able to, using their mind, solve the mystery alongside the main character. Traditional mysteries appeal to the mind.
There must be a logical solution to the puzzle – although red herrings and deep clues may mean the ending could take the reader by surprise.
The hero has a mission to find the killer / artefact / family secret / lost cat.
Crime Fiction & Police Procedurals
Crime Fiction sits across both mystery and thriller, but I'm putting it here under Mystery as a matter of convenience.
Obviously, there must be one or more crimes. A crime sits at the centre of crime fiction. With a crime comes victims. Crime thrillers normally centre around a violent criminal act or serial acts, and the hero must stop further killings or crimes from happening.
Victims – dependent on the crime and storyline, the reader may need to be shown a little bit more about the victim, especially if the victim knows their attacker.
In the case where the victim is simply in the wrong place at the wrong time (say, a security guard in a bank, or a random passerby selected as a psycho serial killer's next murder victim), the emphasis should be taken quickly off the victim's storyline. They are the red-sweatered people of Star Trek fame, you always know something bad is going to happen to them.
Victims – and witnesses – hold the key to solving the crime. They hold secrets – several sometimes. Some of these secrets will be red-herrings to lead the reader and investigator down the wrong path.
Suspects – readers need more than one, obviously. But stay away from the defined patterns we often see in crime dramas on our television sets (where you know that it will always be the second suspect the police interview, even though they initially appear innocent, or an innocent suspect makes themselves look guilty by fleeing from the police, jumping across rooftops and plummeting to their death in an alley below).
Procedural-wise, it's important to get the police or crime scene procedures technically correct so that they don't jar any analytical readers out of the story. There are reference guides aplenty if you're writing with a story set in contempory America, and one police procedural guide for U.K. writers, but getting the technical details right for your setting may take some research.
There are certain stereotypes to be avoided in police characterisation to be aware of, also. eg the old embittered police detective who is divorced, stressed and has turned to alcohol.
Avoid other stereotypes in criminals also. Most criminals aren't sociopaths. Most murderers are not psychotics or sociopaths either. In fact, don't base your super-smart antagonist/villain master-criminal or even his henchmen thugs on people you may find in prison – obviously those people generally weren't smart enough to not be convicted of their crimes in the first place.
We've long gone past the Snide Dastardly type villain who wears capes and twirls his moustache while making his evil plans (and I wish we'd get past the James Bond type master-criminals who tell the captured hero just exactly how he's going to be killed, instead of just whipping out a gun and being done with it) but it may pay to avoid bringing on a Dastardly type character who acts evilly, just to provide the reader with a 'oh, he's going to turn out to be innocent' moment – we're all used to that cliché also.
How a crime is perpetuated is typically important in crime fiction – the details of planning for and doing the crime. This varies according to sub-genre – psychological thriller readers are more interested in the criminal's motives and intentions, rather than technical details; police procedural readers are more interested in the police or detective procedurals in investigating the crime.
In Crime Fiction, readers expect the story to focus around both the hero and the villain, often with changes in point of view in scenes. Readers are interested in the crime details – the plotting and planning of the crime, the scene of the crime, the perpetuation of the crime, the outcome. To get those details, we need to see it – often through the eyes of the criminals.
Red herrings and shadowed clues are expected to be inserted as both false or overlooked leads through the story, but surprise endings must be logical.
Twists and turns, surprises (although they must be logical in hindsight) must provide the reader with a mystery that is not a no-brainer.
Is it important to understand the genre? Yeah, probably, because editors often have some pretty stern definitions of what they're looking for, or not. And bookshelves only have so many shelves and categories to stick your book under.
I've been trying to classify my own novels into adequate genres, hence this whole series. And recently, after reading all this, and a Miss Snark post where she dismisses all the other sub-genres for one writer, I have begun to realise just how succinct I need to be. Structurally, there is a vast difference between the thriller and the mystery, and if I'm leaning into the mystery genre, I've got to really nut out what's the difference between a cosy and a hard-boiled, or general mystery, for instance.
One way of thinking of it is that the genres interlink like a series of Venn Diagrams, with many elements sitting in the intersections between.
Here's an attempt to quickly define the various genres discussed above. Unfortunately, with so many similar elements it becomes a matter of listing one against the other or versus the other, but all of this should be taken with a grain of salt or a mountain of it.
But, as Nathan Bransford suggested in his own attempt – "These labels slosh around a whole lot, so again, don't sweat them too much."
And Dana Kaye says this: "When in doubt, don't call your book anything or say it's a novel of suspense. Because whether it's a mystery or thriller, cozy or hard-boiled, there better be some suspense".
Suspense Vs Thriller
One director defines these
There's a monster in the closet. In a suspense novel or movie, the reader/viewer knows the monster is there. The character in the scene approaches the closet, starts to open it, but the doorbell rings. She answers the door, takes a package from the mail-man, sits it on the table next to the door, and again approaches the closet. As her hand reaches for the doorknob, the phone rings. Suspense builds. Is she going to open the closet and get eaten, or is she not?
In a thriller, the viewer doesn't know the monster is in the closet. The scene is peaceful, the character seems happy. She opens the closet, the monster grabs her, and the readers/viewers jump about a foot because they were not expecting that. She may fight the monster off, if she's the protagonist, but it's the thrill of the unexpected that makes the scene what it is.
Hitchcock defines these
Alfred Hitchcock explained that – "Contrary to popular belief, suspense bears no relationship to fear. Instead, it is the state of waiting for something to happen". He went on to suggest that the crucial recipe sits behind the differences between suspense and surprise. Suspense is where two characters are sitting in a cafe for fifteen minutes, not aware that a bomb is planted under the table. A thriller is the surprise and 15 seconds of action after a bomb has suddenly exploded.
Hitchcock's rule for thrillers, therefore, was to keep the audience informed. (Via Janet L. Smith)
Suspense = when the reader knows something the character doesn't, and the tension builds from wondering how or if the character will survive. Will he or won't he fall into the trap, get shot by the sniper, or be eaten by the monster we know is waiting in the closet. Our hearts beat faster as the tension builds.
Thriller = the reader doesn't see the threat coming. It's slam-bang action, and the reader rides along with the protagonist, experiencing things as they happen to him, and is just as surprised when the monster jumps out from the closet. Thrillers place the crime or event to come.
Suspense Thriller = has been loosely defined as a story in which the audience is waiting for something significant to happen. The protagonist's job is to prevent the speeding bus from exploding, or the aliens from eating the crew. The reader experiences a vicarious thrill by identifying with the hero and the danger he faces, becoming a participant in the chase.
Suspense Mystery
Note that suspense fiction can encompass all of the above different genres / sub-genres or mixtures of several. Some differentiations, however –
Mystery Suspense fiction always deals with a crime of some sort, thriller suspense may not.
Suspense contains more emotional elements (ie. a romance suspense or mystery with equal elements from the suspense and romance plotlines); mysteries contain more intellectual elements – the readers want to solve the crime alongside the main character.
Suspense fiction is less detailed / gory than thrillers. The violence is played off-screen mostly.
Paranormal or humourous elements fit more nicely into suspense. Technical and sci-fi elements sit more easily within the thriller or mystery domain.
Mystery Vs Thriller
Whereas thrillers have the crime or event coming, and the main character must stop it beforehand, the mystery has the crime (often a murder) at the start, and the main character must discover who committed the crime, and why. (This can lead to a lack of suspense when dealing with a crime that has already happened, which is why you will often find further threats to the hero or other character's lives in a mystery also, as a tool to add more suspense).
Mystery provides the who-dunnit elements – the reader is one step behind the hero in solving the puzzles. Thrillers provide the reader with knowledge outside of the hero's domain – the readers are one step ahead of the hero, and are aware of the threat to him.
In a mystery, the antagonist is unknown until right at the end or a final showdown with the protagonist. In a thriller, the antagonist is often known by both the reader and the hero, and can even have scenes with their point of view.
Tension in a mystery is often created with the conflict and dynamics between characters. In thrillers, tension is more often supplied by events or the reader's ability to see what is happening or about to happen in advance of the protagonist.
Mysteries do not always involve criminal acts, although the general sub-genres defined below tend to concentrate on the murder mystery definitions. Mysteries can also involve a puzzle to find an ancient artefact, for instance. The overall definition for a mystery is the solving of a crime or riddle or puzzle.
Other Definitions
Firstly, read my own Mysteries Vs Thrillers Vs Crime Fiction post, which via Jodie Renner, provides several definitions for mysteries vs thrillers.
Nathan Bransford:
Thrillers have action
Suspense has danger, but not necessarily action
Mysteries have mysteries, i.e., something you don't know until the end
Dana Kaye:
Mysteries are reflective, the story takes place after the crime and the plot centers around figuring out what happened.
Crime Fiction is in the present, readers are with the characters as the action is taking place.
In Thrillers, the crime hasn't happened yet. The plot is centered around stopping a crime or dramatic event from taking place.
Jim Doherty, cutting to the chase:
"Hardboiled" is about attitude. Noir is about atmosphere. They're not the same thing, but neither are they mutually exclusive. That which is both tough and colloquial is hardboiled. That's really all there is to it. That which is both dark and sinister is noir. That, too, is really all there is to it."
Mysteries and Sub-Genres
Cosy Mysteries or Cosies / Cozies – a pleasurable escape with murder. Normally set in a small country village, involves an amateur sleuth, who often has a sidekick or good friends to talk to. Low violence, the murder(s) are off-screen, and no profanity or sex (flirting and some colourful language allowed). Generally slower pacing, with less threats to the protagonist, so less suspense than other sub-genres or thrillers.
General Mysteries – slightly darker than a cozy – more violence in the crime, sex and profanity allowed, and can be set anywhere. General mysteries can also involve non-criminal puzzles ie. the quest to find an ancient artefact. Protagonists in general mysteries are not amateur – they possess some qualified and expert skills which will help them solve the mystery ie. they are a detective, police person, a medical doctor or scientist, or a professor / other expert of some kind.
Who-Dunnits – the typical crime mystery (can be cozy, general or detective etc) where a murder is laid out at the start, and the hero must solve who did it.
Detective – The detective can be an amateur or a professional, hardboiled or not. Private Eyes, Private Investigators. Police detectives usually fall under police procedurals.
Police Procedurals – Involves a police detective solving the crime, provides some details of the police investigation. Recently this genre has opened up to include protaganists who are experts in criminalistics ie. the crime scene scientist, or the forensic psychologist / profiler or FBI agents, of course.
Noir / Hardboiled – a darker, grittier, more sinister and atmospheric crime mystery, often involving a hardened tough old detective, tough settings and characters, and can also have an unhappy ending.

Thanks Satpathy. I followed your own Indian blog on thriller writing and will read with interest.
Are thrillers as a genre big in India?
Till now in India, people have always read thrillers brought in by international publishers. So, you will find mostly big names such as James Patterson, John Grisham, Dan Brown, Robert Ludlum etc. in the markets. The situation is however changing. Many new exciting Indian authors are coming up. People have become more liberal in their experimentation with new sub-genres. Good times are ahead, I would say.

This is what I'd like to add, from what I had gathered through my readings:
Suspense Thriller-is when you now what all is going on, fearing the end to the character because you are unable to warn them, but turns out you were wrong the entire time, and have been rooting for the wrong character/occurrence/aspect all along.
Thriller Suspense-is when you have no clue what is all going on, or see no obvious connections between the certain events, but it turns out you have known the whole time, and by the end, the twist occurs, connecting the plot like one giant jigsaw puzzle falling into place on it's own.

Edward Parrot says:
Great article thanks. The only thing I'd quibble about is the lack of humor in thrillers. If one is playing it safe, then sure, leave the humor for in between the action. But several authors have hit home runs with thrillers laced with humor throughout. Clive Cussler and Nelson Demille spring to mind. In fact, Cussler's humor is inextricably embedded with his action. Robert Ludlum wrote two uproarious thrillers which did well. And there are several indie authors with steady sales these days who have modeled after them. Even many of Carl Hiaasen and Tim Dorsey's novels are essentially thrillers if one looks at what else is in them besides humor.
There's no Thriller-Humorous category on Amazon. But it would be a mistake to dismiss it as an option.

Résumé: To analyze and explore large textual corpus, we are generally limited by the available main memory. This may lead to a proliferation of processor load due to greedy computing. We propose to deal with this problem to compute document similarity. We propose upstream and downstream parallel computing related to data and processing according to three abstraction levels: document, sentences and words. In order to consider these levels in hybrid computing, we opt for the dveloppement of a deployment platform able to deal with large scale applications. This choice was based essentially on the nature and charge of the treatment. Many experiments have been conducted according to different computing scenarios in order to ensure an accuracy of the obtained results through local networks.

Renato Birolli (Verona 1905 - Milan 1959)
Renato Birolli was born in Verona in December 1905. Expelled from the local Academy in 1927, he moved to Milan, where he met Carlo Carrà and became the co-editor of L'Ambrosiano (this marked the beginning of an unbroken, at times exclusively private, practice of writing and criticism). He became close to Giacomo Manzù and Aligi Sassu, with whom he exhibited in 1932, along with Mario Mafai and Renato Guttuso. In 1937 in Paris he met Lionello Venturi, who introduced him to the work of Cézanne: it was a lesson that Birolli would never forget. Back in Milan, he wrote for Corrente, held his first one-man show and exhibited at the Premio Bergamo, where his work earned him an award. He was arrested by the Fascist police on several occasions and fought in the Resistance.
In the post-war period, he was one of the promoters of Fronte Nuovo delle Arti, the first group of Italian artists who aspired to renew tradition based on a desire to open up to Europe. He was also one of the first, most convinced and motivated painters to embrace a neo-cubist style initially tinged with expressionism, later becoming more formalized. When the Fronte broke up he worked with Afro in particular to form a new group headed by Venturi, the Group of Eight – named after the number of its members. The group presented a united front at the 1952 Venice Biennale, and went on to interpret the "abstract-concrete" style in various ways. This was a path embraced by most Italian painters for years to come, in opposition both to socialist realism and to the more radical forms of abstract art.
Towards the mid-1950s, Birolli's cubist syntax gave way to a freer gestural art and a new focus on materials – a style that had some affinity with the then dominant Informal atmosphere.
Renato Birolli died suddenly in Milan in 1959.

Napping … Is it Good for You? Napping … Is it Good for You?
Napping … Is it Good for You? Should You do It?
Giving in to a daytime catnap might have been frowned upon in the past, but now new research has put to bed previous nap naysayers. A new study has shown that a little daytime shuteye can actually provide health benefits.
This will give you just the right amount of sleep to feel energized instead of groggy.
According to a past issue of the Harvard Health Letter, catching a daytime nap is a good way to catch up on the sleep you lose at night, sleep that may become more difficult as you age due to natural age-related decline in the quality of your nighttime sleep.
The case of the drowsies may seem to hit the same time every afternoon and does so for several reasons. The first is a biological element. Your biological clock, located in the hypothalamus of your brain, is regulated and impacted by many physiological processes such as body temperature, blood pressure and secretion of digestive juices.
The circadian rhythm, also referred to as the "internal body clock," is naturally set to induce feelings of wakefulness during the day that gradually slow down and turn to sleepiness at nighttime. Oftentimes, it's common to experience feelings of midafternoon sleepiness as a part of the circadian schedule.
Waking hours is the other factor to daytime sleepiness. For example, if you work a night shift and find yourself having difficulty falling asleep the next night it could be due to a disruption in your circadian rhythm, resulting from your 16 hours of wakefulness beginning earlier and ending earlier -- causing you to feel drowsy in the late afternoon or early evening hours.
Some companies have jumped on the nap "wagon" and consider napping a strategic company move, even going so far as to designate nap rooms for their employees.
Another recent study showed the benefits a planned 40-minute nap had on improving the alertness and performance of air traffic controllers working the night shift. Currently, research is in the works to improve the sleep policies of fire departments as well.
Some experts, however, still continue to believe that daytime naps may steal hours from nighttime sleep. They recommend if you do take daytime naps to take them in the midafternoon and limit them to 30 minutes.
Taking a nap after lunch in other countries like Portugal, Spain, many Latin American countries, the Philippines, China, Italy, India, the Middle East and North Africa is commonplace and encouraged. Some countries like Argentina take naps very seriously and have a reserved time of the day for siestas that is considered a sacred time. And it's not unusual for an employee in Japan to take a nap in a "napping room" or at their "desk pillow" during office hours.
Another study conducted in Greece showed the more people napped, the lower their risk of dying from heart disease and stroke.
Set a timer or alarm for 30 minutes: This is the ideal amount of time for your body to reenergize and relax. A nap any longer than 30 minutes will put you in a deeper sleep cycle, causing feelings of grogginess and making it harder to focus and concentrate once you awake.
Create an ideal nap area: Be sure that the room is dark, free of distractions and at a comfortable temperature. You can use eye shades and relaxing music to help you fall asleep faster.
Schedule your nap time: Don't wait until you're ready to topple over from exhaustion, or worse get behind the wheel to drive home, before you take your nap. If you start taking naps at the same time and for the same duration each day, your body will have an easier time adjusting.
Drop any guilty feelings: Instead of thinking of yourself as lazy, think of how much more productive and alert you will be after napping.
The reasons for sleep deprivation among Americans run the gamut from kids, work, stress, and even addictions to the Internet. According to a survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 1 out of 10 people admitted to not getting enough sleep in the past 30 days, and the part of the country feeling the most sleep-deprived are those on the east coast.
Authors of the survey attribute the struggles in the Southeastern U.S. with getting a good night's sleep to having a higher rate of obesity, hypertension and other chronic diseases.
If you're feeling more irritable than usual and are having trouble concentrating on minor tasks, there's a good chance that you aren't getting enough hours of sleep each night. Work stressors, taking care of the kids, finances or piling up household responsibilities all can contribute to sleep interference that can go on to affect your daily living.
Some of these factors may be out of your control, but adopting a good nighttime routine and healthy sleep habits can help you fall asleep and stay asleep.
Keep the same bedtime schedule during the week and the weekends—Get to bed and wake up at the same time each day and resist the temptation to sleep in on the weekends. By putting your body on the same sleep schedule, your body sleep-wake schedule will become regulated and apt to fall asleep easier at night.
Limit how much you eat or drink before going to bed—Don't eat a heavy meal or spicy foods that may cause a heartburn flare-up before bedtime and prevent a good night's sleep. Try not to eat too much of anything at least two hours before bedtime. Watch how many liquids you drink as it gets closer to your bedtime. Cutting back on the amount of liquids before bed will save you on trips of going to the bathroom.
Stay away from nicotine, caffeine and alcohol in the evening hours—Caffeine and its stimulant effects can take hours to completely clear out of your system. Plan on avoiding any kind of caffeine for up to eight hours before bedtime or risk staying up most of the night. If you smoke, try to avoid smoking in the evening or close to bedtime due to the withdrawal effects you may experience when you go to bed, which may keep you awake. Avoid drinking alcohol before going to bed. Even though alcohol is a sedative, once its effects wear off you may experience a fitful quality of sleep. Alcohol has also been identified by some practitioners' patients to cause sleep apnea.
Get regular exercise—Daily exercise, particularly a cardiovascular exercise workout, will help you unwind at the end of the day, lessen the amount of time it takes you to fall asleep and enable your body to stay asleep. Be careful not to exercise too close to your bedtime as you might experience the opposite effect and not be able to get to sleep.
Make your bedroom an ideal environment for sleeping—Keep the room dark, eliminate any outside noise and the temperature cool. If you live by a busy street, you can keep noise levels down with a fan or sound machine. For any pesky light such as a street lamp shining through your window you can try using an eye mask or blackout curtains.
Night shift workers need to adjust the room to mimic nighttime—Keep your shades down and light out. You can use darkening curtains and an eye mask to prevent sunlight from coming in. Cut out any potential distractions by turning off your phone, telling your friends and relatives not to call you during your sleep time and scheduling appointments so they don't interfere with your sleep time.
Choose a comfortable mattress and pillow—You spend a substantial portion of your life sleeping, so you'll want to make sure you are sleeping on comfortable mattress and pillow. Take an inventory of your bedding and determine if your sheets are comfortable or too scratchy and if your mattress is firm enough or too firm then make some changes accordingly. Try out different pillows such as ones for side, back or stomach sleepers designed to fit your sleep style. Limit the amount of time children and pets share the bed with you as they are often disruptive to the sleep for everyone.
Stick to the same bedtime routine each night—Follow the same relaxing bedtime ritual each night to help your body prepare for sleep. You can add relaxing activities such as taking a warm bath or shower, meditational yoga, reading a book or listening to some peaceful music.
Don't try to force sleep if you're not tired—If you go to bed and find you can't fall asleep after 15 to 20 minutes, get up, try some meditation techniques or deep breathing and go back to bed when you start to feel tired. Stressing yourself out over not being able to get to sleep only produces anxiety and will prevent you from sleeping.

Home > Articles > Reviews > THE STEELDRIVERS
In their 15-year career, The SteelDrivers have forged a vital, unique voice in the sometimes predictable world of bluegrass. Starting from their early days with superstar songwriter and lead singer Chris Stapleton, the band has successfully merged a stubborn streak of Southern roots rock into the traditional bluegrass sound to create a darker, edgier sound all their own.
Their latest release, Bad For You, features a new lead singer and guitarist straight from the rock-and-roll world, Kelvin Damrell, who readily admits not having much of a background in bluegrass. But when exposed to more modern bands and experiencing the virtuosity and power that drives modern bluegrass, Damrell became an instant convert. With founding members Tammy Rogers and Brent Truitt on board, The SteelDrivers have found new life and vibrancy.
This is muscular, blues-rock based bluegrass that blends those influences better than perhaps any band since New Grass Revival. The band's challenge, much like Blue Highway and other long-time established bands, is to remain true to their core sound without getting stale or repetitive.
No problems here, as Bad For You kicks off with a powerhouse bluegrass sound featuring wonderful interplay between Truitt's mandolin and Richard Bailey's fire-pit-hot banjo. Over 11 songs, all originals written or co-written by Rogers, The SteelDrivers demonstrate the power and emotion that has always made their music compelling. It's a testament to their musical gifts that they cover styles from Louisiana Zydeco to Route 61 Mississippi gut-bucket blues to ancient-toned fiddle from The Highlands with such aplomb. Moving from more conventional bluegrass beats to a punchy, danceable Cajun beat on "Glad I'm Gone," the band shows its flexibility and originality, complete with a cool duo between Bailey and Damrell's rock-tinged guitar flatpicking. The always definitive Rogers saws off a killer fiddle solo on "Mama Says No."
This release is a bases-loaded home run. Bluegrass evolves and thrives when bands take a stand and develop their own trademark sound. Bad For You keeps The SteelDrivers fresh, relevant, and exciting as always. (www.rounder.com)DJM

Courtright Reservoir is a reservoir in Fresno County, California. The reservoir is at an elevation of 8,170 feet (2,490 m) in the Sierra National Forest, in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, bordering the John Muir Wilderness and the Dinkey Lakes Wilderness.

The high Sierra reservoir is formed by Courtright Dam in Helms Creek canyon and has a capacity of . The dam is composed of rock-fill and is 315 feet (96 m) tall, measured from the crest to the original streambed. It was completed in 1958 and is owned by Pacific Gas and Electric. In 1984 the Helms Pumped Storage Powerhouse was added to the reservoir allowing it to pump water from Wishon to Courtright. Its primary purpose is hydroelectricity production.

The lake is an "off-river" (or "off-channel") storage reservoir. In addition to the small amount of conventional hydroelectricity production from the flow of Helms Creek, Courtright Reservoir serves mainly as the upper reservoir for the Helms Pumped Storage Plant. Wishon Reservoir, an on-channel reservoir a couple of miles downstream on the Kings River, is the lower reservoir and main water source. During times of peak demand for electricity, when it is most expensive, water is drained from Courtright Reservoir, run through the 1,212 MW Helms Power Plant and empties into Wishon Reservoir. When demand and prices for electricity are low, water is pumped from Wishon Reservoir to Courtright Reservoir using the power plant's reversible turbines. Helms Power Plant is 1,000 feet (300 m) underground in a chamber carved out of solid granite at the north end of Wishon Lake. It is similar to Southern California Edison's Eastwood Powerhouse near Shaver Lake, which is also a pumped-storage plant.

Courtright Reservoir is a haven for weekend and outdoor enthusiasts seeking to camp, fish, hike, boat, swim, rock climb, and 4x4 among others.  It is surrounded by unique domes of granite that are essentially in the center of the Sierra Batholith and are highly sought after by rock climbers from all around.  It is also used during warmer-weather months by local astronomers, such as members of the Central Valley Astronomers, who take advantage of its 8,170 feet (2,490 m) elevation and excellent location for night sky viewing free from light and air pollution.

As with many outdoor areas there are some animal transmittable diseases to be aware of. Ticks in the area have been known infect people with the bacterium that causes tick-borne relapsing fever. The yellow-bellied marmot is known to carry cryptosporidium, which can be infectious to humans. Additionally due to the elevation and the thinner atmosphere there has been slightly higher but not dangerous levels of radiation recorded here.

Q: How to check objects properties or functions called or not in javascript? I want to check that my object properties and method or anything else is called or not? for example,
// functions

   function app(){
      return {
        name : 'Md Tahazzot',
        info : function(){
           return this.name;
        }
      };
   }

Now if I call this like app(), I mean In this case I am not called any of the object properties or methods. So, Is it possible to check this that I am called only the function nothing else like this app().name ?

A: You could return a Proxy. If the proxy's getters (or setters?) are ever called, then you know that something has been done other than simply call the function - something attempted to get or set a property on the returned object:

function app() {
  const target = {
    name: 'Md Tahazzot',
    info: function() {
      return this.name;
    }
  };
  return new Proxy(target, {
    get(target, prop) {
      console.log('Get attempted');
      return target[prop];
    },
    set(target, prop, newVal) {
      console.log('Set attempted');
      return target[prop] = newVal;
    }
  });
}

console.log('Creating "a":');
const a = app();

console.log('Creating "b":');
const b = app();
b.name;

console.log('Creating "c":');
const c = app();
c.foo = 'foo';
console.log(c.foo);

If you have to do this from outside the app, then apply the same logic after the object has been returned:

function app() {
  return {
    name: 'Md Tahazzot',
    info: function() {
      return this.name;
    }
  };
}

const obj = new Proxy(app, {
  get(target, prop) {
    console.log('Get attempted');
    return target[prop];
  },
  set(target, prop, newVal) {
    console.log('Set attempted');
    return target[prop] = newVal;
  }
});

console.log('Proxy created');
obj.name;

A: As functions are nothing but objects in JavaScript, you can create property on function itself to store any info at function level.
You could do something like this:
 function app(){
    app.callsCount = app.callsCount || 0;
    app.callsCount++;
  return {
    name : 'Md Tahazzot',
    info : function(){
       return this.name;
    }
  };
}

And can be used like this:
app().name
app.callsCount // 1

app()
app.callsCount //2

Keep in mind, once function is called, the count is increased, if you want to increase count on inner function call you could do that too. However it would not be straight forward to know if a property is called after app function call.
Not exactly sure what exactly you are trying to achieve.

Efficacy of carprofen on conception rates in lactating dairy cows after subcutaneous or intrauterine administration at the time of breeding
Heuwieser, W.; Iwersen, M.; Goetze, L.
Manipulation of the reproductive tract can cause inflammatory processes in the endometrium and release of cytokines and prostaglandins. It has been shown that PGF2α has direct negative effects on embryonic survival and development. Treatment with nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (e.g., ibuprofen lysinate, flunixin meglumine) might improve pregnancy rates after embryo transfer in recipient heifers. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug on reproductive performance in lactating dairy cows when administered at the time of first-service artificial insemination (AI) based on the hypothesis that uterine manipulation during AI might be similarly intense compared with embryo transfer in its effect on prostaglandin release. A total of 970 cows (333 primiparous and 637 multiparous) from 17 Holstein dairy farms were enrolled. On the day of first AI, cows were randomly allocated to 1 of 3 treatment groups. Cows of group 1 received 1.4 mg/kg of body weight (BW) of carprofen subcutaneously immediately after AI (SC group). In group 2, 1.4 mg/kg of BW of carprofen was administered into the uterus using a sterile disposable catheter 12 to 24 h after AI (IU group). Animals of group 3 remained as untreated controls. First AI conception rate was similar for the SC group (42.2%) compared with the untreated control group (45.1%). A binary logistic regression model for the odds of conception at first AI revealed a negative effect of an intrauterine administration of carprofen on conception rate (38.3%). Cows allocated to the IU group had a lower likelihood of being pregnant within 200 d in milk than cows in the control group. In summary, subcutaneous treatment with the nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug carprofen at the time of AI did not influence conception rate, whereas an intrauterine administration of carprofen 12 to 24 h after first AI had a negative effect on first-service conception rate in lactating dairy cows.

Q: Limit $\lim_{n\to\infty} n^{-3/2}(1+\sqrt{2}+\ldots+\sqrt{n})=\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{\sqrt{1} + \sqrt{2} + ... + \sqrt{n}}{n\sqrt{n}}$ How do I find the following limit?
$$
\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{\sqrt{1} + \sqrt{2} + ... + \sqrt{n}}{n\sqrt{n}}
$$
The answer (from Wolfram) is $\frac{2}{3}$, but I'm not sure how to proceed.
Is this an application of the Squeeze theorem? I'm not quite sure.

A: $$\lim_{n\to +\infty}\frac{1}{n}\sum_{k=1}^{n}\sqrt{\frac{k}{n}} = \int_{0}^{1}\sqrt{x}\,dx = \color{red}{\frac{2}{3}}$$
by Riemann sums and the integrability of $\sqrt{x}$ over $[0,1]$.
For a more elementary approach, notice that $\sqrt{k}$ is pretty close to $\frac{2}{3}\left[\left(k+\frac{1}{2}\right)^{3/2}-\left(k-\frac{1}{2}\right)^{3/2}\right]$ and apply creative telescoping and squeezing.

A: How about Stolz-Cesaro? If $x_n \to \infty $, $y_n \to \infty $ and $$ \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{x_{n+1}-x_n}{y_{n+1}-y_n}$$ exists, then : $$ \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{x_n}{y_n} = \lim_{n\to\infty} \frac{x_{n+1}-x_n}{y_{n+1}-y_n}$$

A: All the other answers are by Riemann sums, but one can also use the Stolz theorem. The limit becomes
$$\frac{\sqrt{n}}{n\sqrt{n}-(n-1)\sqrt{n-1}}=\frac{\sqrt{n}(n\sqrt{n}+(n-1)\sqrt{n-1})}{n^3+(n-1)^3}=$$
$$\frac{n^2+(n-1)\sqrt{n^2-n})}{n^2+n(n-1)+(n-1)^2}\to\frac{2}{3}$$

A: Fill in details: $$\frac1{n\sqrt n}\sum_{k=1}^n\sqrt k=\frac1{n}\sum_{k=1}^n\sqrt\frac kn\xrightarrow[n\to\infty]{}\int_0^1\sqrt x\,dx$$

A: Using $\;\;\displaystyle\lim_{n\to +\infty}\frac{1}{n}\sum_{k=1}^nf\left(\frac{k}{n}\right)=\int_0^1f(x)\;dx,$ we get
$$\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{\sqrt{1} + \sqrt{2} +\ldots + \sqrt{n}}{n\sqrt{n}}=\lim_{n \to \infty}\frac{1}{n}\sum_{k=1}^n\sqrt{\frac{k}{n}}=\int_0^1\sqrt{x}\;dx=\frac{2}{3}.$$

Fenella Wagener
Fenella Wagener on the Freedom Financial Planning Gives You
Fenella Wagener is an accomplished woman with a background in journalism, public relations, and media. She's currently a PR and Media Manager for Universal Music, where she looks after 3 states and has worked with a range of artists from Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift, to Elton John and Paul McCartney!
Growing up writing and recording her own music, Fenella was always destined to become a part of the industry. Though she studied journalism and has worked for the Herald Sun, Fox, Triple M and The Today Show (where she first met our very own Chris Browne), she wanted to get back into music. She describes her role as her dream job, and says she's so lucky to be where she is.
"I missed that side of me, so this has been a perfect transition [into the role at Universal Music]."
Fenella also says how lucky she is in her personal life too. She and her partner Jens met in Sydney, and only had 24 hours together before he had to return home to Sweden. The love in her voice is beautiful as she recalls what Jens said to her when they said their goodbyes: "You're the one." And she says she felt the same way. They didn't hesitate, and made sure they were reunited within a few months.
"When you know, you know!"
They've been together for a year and a half now, and have lived together for almost a year. Fenella and Jens are so in love; she says, "It's been just like Christmas every day."
With all the expenses of having a partner who lives out of the country, it quickly became apparent to Fenella that she needed to take a look at her finances. While in her producing role on The Today Show, she decided to approach Chris Browne, who she'd built up a relationship with during his appearances on the show. He invited her to meet with the team at Rising Tide Financial Services, which Fenella says was "The best decision I have ever made!"
"They helped us work out what are our expenses, and how much money can we save a month, and it's crazy to think how much you can be saving a month!"
Fenella has gone from living paycheque to paycheque and being stressed about money, to having her finances all planned out and being able to pay for things she never thought she could afford. Like the brand-new BMW X1 that she and Jens bought a couple of months ago! They discussed what their dream car was, and were able to get it without stress.
She loves how easy life is now, and her ability to say yes to things that she couldn't before. They even have a trip planned in a month to visit Jens' family in Sweden, and didn't have to worry about how they were going to pay for it. She loves how everything is all planned out, so there's no confusion or stress when pay day hits. Everything is automatically set up to transfer to the correct accounts and it's made it so much simpler for her to save.
"It's just so much easier, and once you've worked out 'how much are all my bills?' and how the other things add up- what's my direct-debits – once you know all of that, it's literally just like future savings, albeit the expenses from day to day, our direct bills account, and our tax savings stuff; it's just so easy."
Fenella and Jens are now planning to save for a property, and get into the stock market. Jens works at Bendigo Bank, so he also has an interest in finance, and is ready to get into investing. They'll also eventually be looking at getting married in Sweden, which is sure to be beautiful! Hope we all get an invite!

Alfredo Yépez Miranda fue un catedrático, político y abogado peruano.

Nace en el Cusco el 6 de octubre de 1908. Realiza sus estudios secundarios en el Colegio Nacional de Ciencias. En 1925 ingresa a la Facultad de Letras de la Universidad Nacional de San Antonio Abad del Cusco. En 1927 toma parte activa en los movimientos universitarios que dieron lugar al receso de la universidad luego de lo cual se traslada a la Universidad Nacional de San Agustín de Arequipa.

En 1935 se gradúa de abogado y ejerció la docencia en diversos colegios del Cusco: Colegio Nacional de Ciencias, La Merced, María Auxiliadora y Santa Ana. En 1946 es electo rector de la Universidad Nacional San Antonio Abad del Cusco siendo uno de los rectores más jóvenes de la historia de la universidad.

"With so much desire I wanted you, and the whole world helped me in getting you." you have heard this dialogue of Shah Rukh Khan's film. This dialogue applies to many Bollywood artists who are getting very popular in Bollywood today, but when they made their debut, the box office failed. Let's know those names who have earned their name from their hard work. Here is the list of 11 Bollywood Actors Who Had Flop Debuts But Became Bollywood's Super Stars.
Superstar Amitabh Bachchan gave 7 Flop films in his early career. At that time nobody thought that the actor who made such flop films would be called as Shahenshah in the future. The movie 'Zanjeer' stepped him into the ocean of success.
Bollywood's Dabangg Salman Khan's first movie 'Biwi ho to Aisi' failed at the box office. Salman himself does not want to watch that movie today. Some of his films came after this film, but he got named after 'Maine Pyaar Kiya'.
Today Akshay Kumar is one of the most highly paid actors in Bollywood. But Akhshay Kumar also gave several flop films to his early career. He got a break from 'Khiladi 420' and thereafter he started his booming career.
Ranbir Kapoor's first film 'Saawariya' was very disappointing. But due to his look and acting skills, he got many films and Ranbir gave a super hit film like 'Rockstar' and 'Barfi'.
Bollywood's 'Serial kisser' Emraan Hashmi came in the limelight after the 'Murder' film. In 2004, Emraan Hashmi's 'Murder' earned a huge hit by breaking the record in the box office, but Emraan Hashmi's debut film 'Footpath' failed at the box office.
Kareena Kapoor's first movie was 'Refugee' in which she starred with Abhishek Bachchan. The film disappointed the audience. But with Kareena's second film, 'Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai', she started to achieve success and today, Kareena is one of the highest paid actress in Bollywood.
Recently, Smita Patil award-winning Bollywood's talented actress Katrina Kaif's first film was a B-grade film 'Boom'. After that Salman Khan joined her in his film and today Katrina has made a special place in Bollywood. Katrina gave many hit films like Dhoom 3, Tiger Zinda Hai.
Sonam Kapoor's first film 'Saawariya' was a big banner film but the film did not attract people. People did not like Sonam's work. But Sonam has created a unique identity by 'Neerja'.
If you are thinking that Shraddha Kapoor's first film was superhit Aashiqui 2, then you are wrong. Shraddha's first film was 'Teen Patti'. The movie might have not watched, But today Shraddha has proven herself as a successful actress. Some of her films are also included in the 100 crore club.
Rani Mukerji, who was called Rani(Queen) of Bollywood, also gave her first movie as a flop. Though her performance in 'Raja Ki Aayegi Barat' has been great, the film did not give any special effects. She got a good break in the film 'Ghulam' and after that Rani started getting success in the film career. Recently released movie Hichki was a good hit for Rani Mukerji.
Jacqueline Fernandes's first film, 'Aladin', starring Amitabh Bachchan and Riteish Deshmukh. But this film did not make any special appearance. After years of hard work, Jacqueline was successful in 'Houseful-2', then 'Kick' was her first film, which managed to earn 200 crores.


I write romantic fiction with a sense of humour and, sometimes, a sense of the ridiculous. Because we all know life and love aren't exactly how we'd like them to be.
When not writing, I love to cook and to read, I even read in the car (talking books) and have notched up countless unnecessary miles as a result.
If you like romantic comedies, then Millie's Game Plan, Vicki's Work of Heart and Chloe's Rescue Mission may be just what you're looking for. They're all out on Amazon.

Japanese Bush Warbler (Horornis diphone cantans) 0:52 Amar-Singh HSS 2019-06-07 17:30 Japan Nemuro, Hokkaido 40 adult, male, song
The less common song, a 'type two' song, is a unique and wonderful one. It last for a prolonged period (14 & 32 seconds for two recordings). It starts off in a 'hurry' with a note every 0.1 seconds but later slows down to 2-3 notes per second. Brazil (2018) best describes it as "pipipipi … keyo keyo…" while Hamao (2007) says it sounds like "Pirrrrrr-kekkyo, kekkyo..." and calls it the "Taniwatari" or valley crossing call. There have been speculations on purpose of this call (alarm call) but Hamao (2007) who has studied these Bush Warblers since 1990 suggest they are used in a variety of contexts.
Japanese Bush Warbler (Horornis diphone cantans) 0:49 Amar-Singh HSS 2019-06-05 08:55 Japan Forest west of Lake Onneto, near Nemuro, Hokkaido 40 adult, male, song
The commoner song, a 'type one' song, is an explosive call last ¾ of second that starts with a low grade whistle and then explodes into a loud whistle. It is repeated 5-8 seconds part. Kennerley (2010) describes it as "wuuuuuuuuweeuweechu". But there is much minor variation in the structure in the same bird and between birds (seen on detailed sonogram and waveform).
Japanese Bush Warbler (Horornis diphone) 0:35 Lance A. M. Benner 2012-05-23 09:03 Japan Forest west of Lake Onneto, near Nemuro, Hokkaido 40 song
The bird was in low vegetation in a boreal forest during light drizzle.
Recording equipment: Olympus LS10 & Sennheiser MKE-400.
Modifications to the file: Cropped at the beginning.
Eastern Crowned Warbler (Phylloscopus coronatus) 0:59 Amar-Singh HSS 2019-06-07 16:55 Japan Nemuro, Hokkaido 40 adult, song
Eastern Crowned Warblers are not easy to see on migration or at their breeding grounds. But at least in summer they make a variety loud calls and songs and can be located. Other have better described the song/calls but I would like to bring attention to a buzzing note that the bird make intermittently. Bursts of song are made intermittently, 4-10 seconds apart (in my 4 recordings).
Sakhalin Leaf Warbler (Phylloscopus borealoides) 0:55 Amar-Singh HSS 2019-06-10 06:00 Japan Forest west of Lake Onneto, near Nemuro, Hokkaido 40 song
In this recording I have removed the loud male song so as to enable amplification of the softer adult female bird song or calls. The main call made by the female is a high frequency whistle that is often made in three notes that last 2-3 seconds. These calls are repeated every 4-6 seconds. Occasionally, just after the whistles, she gives a soft rattle song, very much like the male's, but it very is hard to appreciate without amplification.
Recording (not its ID) has been discussed. See the forum.
Japanese Robin (Larvivora akahige akahige) 0:12 Amar-Singh HSS 2019-06-10 06:00 Japan Forest west of Lake Onneto, near Nemuro, Hokkaido 40 song
The song is given by the adult males and is a territorial, advertising call. The bird tends to extend the head back and cock the tail but this is not always done. At times the tail is erect and fully open when singing. Video recording here: https://youtu.be/3P-S9OkeIms A recording of the male song is here. The male song is a delightful, loud rattle that has between 11-22 notes, often 13-14 (sample: 11, 22, 14, 14, 14, 13, 13, 15, 21, 12). The song is repeated very 7-10 seconds (sample: 10, 7, 10, 7, 7, 9, 9, 9). Note that the introductory note is different from the rest. The song, although sounding similar, is very variable in pitch and quality. In this recording I have extracted 7 songs that, to my ear, have variations. Note that the 'thickness' of the note varies on waveform as does the structure on sonograms. A lot more work needs to go into analysing this male song and the many variation that are rendered and their purpose.
These lovely birds are not hard to find as the song is distinctive and loud; we identified at least 6 different birds within a large forest area. Peter Clement, Chris Rose, Robins and Chats, Helm Identification Guides 2015 state that the birds sing "mainly May-June, occasionally to early August". The song is given by the adult males and is a territorial, advertising call. The bird tends to extend the head back and cock the tail but this is not always done. At times the tail is erect and fully open when singing. Video recording here: https://youtu.be/3P-S9OkeIms A recording of the male song is here. In the background you can hear the soft, sharp, high frequency whistle calls made by the female (see other recordings). The male song is a delightful, loud rattle that has between 11-22 notes, often 13-14 (sample: 11, 22, 14, 14, 14, 13, 13, 15, 21, 12). The song is repeated very 7-10 seconds (sample: 10, 7, 10, 7, 7, 9, 9, 9). Note that the introductory note is different from the rest.

Japanese Robin (Larvivora akahige) 0:01 Lance A. M. Benner 2012-05-24 8:54 JST Japan Forest west of Lake Onneto, near Nemuro, Hokkaido 40 song
We identified the bird by voice but did not see it.
We identified all the birds by voice but did not see any of them. The wren is an old-world winter wren, not the one that occurs in eastern North America.
Siberian Rubythroat (Calliope calliope) 1:30 Amar-Singh HSS 2019-06-05 05:30 Japan Field Inn, Lake Furen, Nemuro, Hokkaido Prefecture 0 song
The male Siberian Rubythroat was very vocal, possibly due to the breeding season. The song is rich, strong, complex and varied. In addition some mimicry is possible. The sonogram shows the complexity of the songs, which can last 1.5-2 seconds or more. The bird can sing on a post and repeat a variety of songs 10-15 times a minute. A composite recording of songs can be heard here.
Siberian Rubythroat (Calliope calliope camtschatkensis) 0:34 Frank Lambert 2013-06-23 04:48 Japan Field Inn, Lake Furen, Nemuro, Hokkaido Prefecture 5 male, song

The male Siberian Rubythroat was very vocal, possibly due to the breeding season. The song is rich, strong, complex and varied. In addition some mimicry is possible. We heard calls less often and the common one is illustrated in this short recording.
Red-flanked Bluetail (Tarsiger cyanurus) 0:24 Lance A. M. Benner 2012-05-24 7:31 JST Japan Forest west of Lake Onneto, near Nemuro, Hokkaido 40 song

Red-flanked Bluetail (Tarsiger cyanurus) 0:51 Lance A. M. Benner 2012-05-24 7:31 JST Japan Forest on west side of Lake Onneto, Nemuro, Hokkaido 40 song
Recorded in light rain from a forest just west of Lake Onneto, which is west of Nemuro, Hokkaido, Japan. We never saw the bird but we knew its identity from our professional guide, Niiya Koji. The wren is an old world winter wren, not the one in eastern North America.
Stejneger's Stonechat (Saxicola stejnegeri) 0:55 Amar-Singh HSS 2019-06-11 06:40 Japan Field Inn, Lake Furen, Nemuro, Hokkaido Prefecture 0 adult, male, song
One recording of the song by an adult breeding male is here. Although some describe the song as a 'formless chatter', there is a structure to the song. In the sonogram, the common type made has a uniform the call structure. The other songs I heard were very varied and complex.
Stejneger's Stonechat (Saxicola stejnegeri) 0:17 Amar-Singh HSS 2019-06-11 07:00 Japan Field Inn, Lake Furen, Nemuro, Hokkaido Prefecture 0 adult, alarm call, female
We heard the calls of this bird often. As many were nesting, the calls we heard when we approached were alarm calls. But I did manged to record some songs as well. One recording of the alarm calls by an adult breeding female is here. Brazil (2018) describes them well as "call a hard, stony, ja, ja, jat or hit, like pebbles knocked together, given in combination with sharp whistle". Notes are given frequently at 1.8 per second. Usually 2 to 3 notes of the 'stony' calls followed by one sharp whistle. You can see on the sonogram – the vertical bars are the stony calls and the layered note is the whistle. A video of an adult breeding female making these type of calls is here: https://youtu.be/FJ6LdqWMUDk

Here's Why Kevin Durant's Warriors Move Is Worse Than LeBron's 'Decision'
by Joseph Milord
There's an obvious comparison to make now that Kevin Durant has decided to join the Golden State Warriors: LeBron James' infamous "Decision" in the summer of 2010.
At the time, everyone killed LeBron James for upsetting the competitive balance in the NBA by taking a "cowardly" if-you-can't-beat-them-join-them approach.
It seemed unthinkable that one team could have the All-Star talents of James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.
Even Kevin Durant himself, ironically, subtweeted LeBron.
But the biggest irony here is impossible to argue against -- if we're talking about a single move upsetting the competitive balance, Kevin Durant signing with the Warriors is way worse than LeBron's decision to join the Heat.
I can explain in three points:
1. The team he's joining.
The Warriors lost Game 7 of the NBA Finals, sure, but that only means we'll never recognize them as the greatest team ever.
Greatness, though, is subjective. Statistics are not. Statistically, the 2015-16 Golden State Warriors are the best team in NBA history. Their record 73 wins are better than anything Jordan's Bulls or Magic's Lakers did.
Durant is literally joining the best team ever. In contrast, LeBron joined a 47-win Miami Heat team that couldn't even make it out of the first round of the 2010 playoffs.
In fact, they only lasted five games against the Boston Celtics that year. LeBron's arrival made Miami a juggernaut. KD is joining a team that already is a juggernaut and he hasn't even stepped onto the arena floor.
2. The players he's joining.
Nothing defines an if-you-can't-beat-them-join-them move like what Durant just made.
Durant is going to a team that just ripped his heart out in a seven-game series. The Warriors are the reason that Durant didn't have a shot at a ring this year.
As I mentioned above, the Heat weren't even a competitor for LeBron's Cavs when he left Cleveland to head for Florida.
Not only is Durant joining the team he couldn't beat, he's joining the very player that took his MVP crown. After Durant won the 2014 MVP award -- and made his "you da real MVP" speech -- Steph Curry's career took off.
Curry has won two MVP awards since and has taken over the Western Conference. Dwyane Wade, on the other hand, was on a downtrend when LeBron joined him -- Wade went from averaging 30.2 points per game in 2008-09 to 26.6 in 2009-10.
Add that to the fact that Durant will have a younger team that has three legitimate All-Stars (28-year-old Curry and 26-year-olds Draymond Green and Klay Thompson). There's just no comparison.
3. The system he's joining.
Kevin Durant is a high-flying scorer who can shoot threes and whaddya know: now he's joining the best three-point shooting team in history.
The Warriors like to a play a "small" lineup that causes teams so many problems that it's called the death lineup. Now they have a 6-foot-10 forward who can dribble, pass and defend bigger players.
OKC's Achilles' heel is that they could never seem to draw up the right types of plays to get their players easy shots. Golden State, on the other hand, has an offensive scheme that is known for doing just that.
Kevin Durant is going to a team that is not perfectly suited to his strengths but also has a good supporting cast with players like Shaun Livingston and Andre Iguodala.
LeBron's Heat, on the other hand, had an unproven supporting cast and there was some uncertainty as to how exactly they'd hit together.
There's not nearly as much uncertainty here. Kevin Durant is joining the best team ever and from a competitive standpoint, it's way worse than any other decision in NBA history.
Forget M3GAN, Everyone Is Afraid Of Snapchat After This Creepy Commercial
By Annie Lin


I was very excited to go to London on 1st April. I was visiting my cousin there. I was excited both because I was meeting my cousin after a long time and this was going to be my first time in London.
When I reached the Gatwick airport at 1:30 am (because of flight delay), I didn't see my cousin there who was supposed to receive me. So for few minutes I was nervous and was wondering what to do. I needed coins to call him but I had none. I was running here and there to find a shop to get change but they were all closed. When I finally found change from another traveler in the airport and called him, he said he was just outside the airport. For 10 mins I was very nervous.
I was with my cousin and sister-in-law for three days. I enjoyed being with them. The first day we went to see the Buckingham palace. We were in hurry to reach there as we wanted to see the change of guards in the palace. We were about 15-20 minutes late. We saw 4 new guards coming to a guard who was already standing there. One among the 4 guards took the place of the old one. He took an oath and the other 3 and the old guard went back. We were not sure if we saw the one which we wanted to see because I had heard that all guards would be in red dress but the guards we saw were in black dress. But still we were solacing ourselves that something is better than nothing.
Then we took a walk around the palace. I was excited to take photos as well. From there we went to see the Parliament House, Big Ben and London Eye. After seeing London eye, we walked sometime along the Queens walk and then took a ferry to go to the Tower Bridge. On the way I saw the tall building of Citigroup. I was happy to see it as my husband would be working there in the next 2 months. From Tower Bridge we then went back home.
In the second day we went to "Madame Tussauds", a wax musuem. We had to be in a queue for an hour to buy tickets. As soon as we entered the hall, we saw a man welcoming us. I later realized that it was actually a statue. How stupid could I be! But seriously, some of the statues were very difficult to distinguish if they were live or just statues. Actually I was thinking that the statues would be inside glass boxes and people would see them from outside. But to my surprise all the statues were openly placed. People were touching and hanging on the statues. It was fun to see Jennifer Lopez blush when you whispered in her ear. Wonderful!!!!!!!!!
With Indian actress Aishwarya and Indian super actor Amitabh in "Madame Tussauds"
At home, I had some Nepali dishes which I had missed very much after I came to Barcelona. I had a great time.
Looks like you have a good time in london !
This is an awasome great picture!!

We have already seen how Katharine Hayhoe's Northeast Climate Impacts Assessment made exaggerated claims about a rapidly warming climate in the Northeast that do not stand up to scrutiny. Let's take a look at some other claims it makes that are claimed to be "Changes consistent with global warming".
1) An increase in heavy rainfall events?
As we did with temperatures, we will have a look at the three rural USHCN stations, Millinocket, Elmira and Uniontown in Maine, New York and Pennsylvania respectively.
These graphs show the distribution each year of daily precipitation (incl snow). Although Elmira shows a slight increase in heavy rainfall days, the other two show absolutely no such trend. Indeed Uniontown arguably shows a reduction. It is clearly a nonsense to claim there is any statistically significant trend.
Taking the same three stations, we can plot annual snowfall.
All three show a period of higher snow fall around the 1960's and early 1970's. However snowfall in the last decade or two is clearly not unusual when compared with the earlier record up to about 1960 and there appears to be no decreasing trend since 1980.
