the puerto rican bullfinch is an endemic species on the island . it is very common in the woodlands and heavy forests throughout puerto rico .
introduction : the puerto rican bullfinch is endemic to the archipelago of puerto rico . included in the genus “loxigilla” , it was formerly classified in the family emberizidae . this species is commonly seen in thick forests and woodlands at all elevations .
the puerto rican bullfinch has undulating flight with strong wingbeats interspersed with glides . it often crosses clearings and roads with low , fast flight . it also flies from branch to branch when foraging in trees .
the endemic puerto rican bullfinch ( l . p . portoricensis ) is widespread across puerto rico , but is not always easy to see . more often it is detected by its cardinal - like song , a strongly whistled whip - whip - whip followed by a buzz that can be heard only if one is quite close . while the puerto rican population of this species still is common , its larger relative from st . christopher ( l . p . grandis ) has not been positively identified there since the 1920s . recent consideration of making the st . christopher bullfinch a separate species was shelved pending further studies ( garrido and wiley 2003 , banks et al . 2006 ) . to locals , the puerto rican bullfinch is known as the comeñame , comeñame puertoriqueño , capacho , or carpacho .
the puerto rican bullfinch adult male has black plumage except the rufous to orange - red crown , chin , throat , breast and undertail - coverts . the heavy bill is blackish . the eyes are dark brown . legs and feet are dusky .
it forages alone or in pairs , and in family groups . the ripe fruits are held under the foot , and it pecks to eat pieces of pulp . the puerto rican bullfinch is shy and secretive , often heard before to be seen .
the name
bullfinch
does not occur among birds of continental north america , but its widespread occurrence in the west indies must reflect both the early history of colonization of that region , and the fact that most of these islands remained as british or french colonies until fairly recently . any west indian island of decent size has at least one species of bullfinch , with the cuban bullfinch ( melopyrrha nigra ) on cuba , some of its offshore islands , and grand cayman ; the greater antillean bullfinch ( loxigilla violacea ) on most of the larger bahamas , hispaniola and its satellites , and jamaica ; the lesser antillean bullfinch ( loxigilla noctis ) on all the lesser antilles except the grenadines and barbados ; the barbados bullfinch ( loxigilla barbadensis ) on barbados ; and the puerto rican bullfinch ( loxigilla portoricensis ) on puerto rico and , formerly , on st . christopher’s . all of these bullfinches are distinctive for having males that are black ( except for the barbados bullfinch , where males look like the standard bullfinch female ) , with the cuban bullfinch having some white in the wing , and the three species of loxigilla showing reddish - brown under - tail coverts and varying amounts of reddish - brown in the head . loxigilla females vary from being paler black than males ( greater antillean bullfinch and puerto rican bullfinch ) to being mostly brownish - olive . juveniles of all species of loxigilla are olive - brown to olive - green , but with the distinctive reddish - brown undertail coverts .
habitat : the puerto rican bullfinch occurs in both montane and lowland evergreen forests , and in tropical deciduous forests . it also frequents secondary forests , dry coastal woodlands and sometimes mangroves . this species can be seen from sea - level up to 1000 metres of elevation .
protection / threats / status : the puerto rican bullfinch of nominate race is not globally threatened . this species is very common in forested areas and especially in montane forests . the race “grandis” is not reported since 1920s , and now considered extinct . however , the nominate race is suspected to be declining due to habitat destruction .
calls and songs : sounds by xeno - canto the puerto rican bullfinch’s call is a tiny ‘tsuit” and a “check” . the song is a series of several rising whistles followed by a sharp trill , a loud “coochi , coochi , choochi” and buzzy sounds . it sings at any time of the day , hidden in the thick canopy foliage .
behaviour in the wild : the puerto rican bullfinch feeds primarily on seeds and fruits , and occasionally on shoots and nectar . it also takes insects and snails . it forages mainly in low to medium understorey vegetation , but it also drops to the ground . in trees , it often forages on the outer branches . it feeds mainly in the morning and the late afternoon .
extinct . nominate race very common in woodlands of puerto rico , particularly in heavy forests of mountains . one . . .

reproduction of this species : the breeding season occurs mainly between february and june . the puerto rican bullfinch builds a spherical structure with woven plants materials and sticks . the inner part is usually lined with pieces of bark . there is a side entrance , but the nest may also be domed or totally enclosed with side - opening . it is placed in tree fork , on tree branch or in tree cavity , but also in shrub or clump of grass .
the bullfinch nest is either open or domed with and entrance in the side . the female lays up - to three dull - green eggs with dark spots . primary breeding is from february to june , but can occur in other seasons as well .
subspecies and range : there were two subspecies , but one of them is now extinct . l . p . portoricensis ( here described and displayed ) is found on puerto rico l . p . grandis is extinct , and was found in lesser antilles . this race was larger than nominate , with thicker bill . the rufous colour was darker and less extended on the throat .

although this species may have a small range , it is not believed to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the range size criterion ( extent of occurrence < 20 , 000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size , habitat extent / quality , or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation ) . despite the fact that the population trend appears to be decreasing , the decline is not believed to be sufficiently rapid to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population trend criterion ( > 30 % decline over ten years or three generations ) . the population size has not been quantified , but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for vulnerable under the population size criterion ( < 10 , 000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be > 10 % in ten years or three generations , or with a specified population structure ) . for these reasons the species is evaluated as least concern .

the adult bird has a black body , wings and tail with a rufous ( reddish ) colored band on the crown , throat and under the tail . young birds are dark olive - green , with only the undertail coverts reddish in color . beak - to - tail length is 6 . 5 to 7 . 5 inches ( 16 . 5 to 19 centimeters ) . its call is a very distinctive series of rising whistles followed by buzzing sound .
in mahogany , kadam and pine plantations and in the tabonuco , colorado , palm and dwarf forest sections of the el yunque nf .
the female is similar , but her plumage is duller black . the juvenile has dark olive - green plumage overall , except the orange - rufous undertail - coverts .
as a sedentary species , it maintains a territory all year round and is faithful to this site . during the breeding season , the male displays to the females . it can be seen with dropped wings extended from the body sides , and then , fluttering them rapidly .
the female usually lays 3 dull greenish eggs with dark markings . from an observation , the female incubates during 14 days . at hatching , the chicks are naked during 3 - 4 days . then , they have sparse down on head and back , while the flight - feathers start to grow 10 days later . they fledge 14 - 15 days after hatching . there is little information , but from other observation in the wild , the female incubates alone , while the male sings in the surrounding . juveniles of the previous brood have been seen with nest materials and taking part in nest - building , but there is no more information about any additional help in nesting duties .

tiger cowrie ( cypraea tigris ) a true cowrie , 8cm , at abana pole . mostly active at night and normally hide in crevices during the day . this one was found during the day in the middle of a sandy patch , so perhaps it had given up on finding a crevice to hide in . the mantle is almost completely withdrawn , presumably to protect the animal while it rests .
the shells of cowries ( especially cypraea moneta ) were used for centuries as a currency in africa .
the ghanaian unit of currency known as the ghanaian cedi was named after cowry shells . starting over three thousand years ago , cowry shells , or copies of the shells , were used as chinese currency . they were also used as means of exchange in india .
the ojibway aboriginal people in north america used cowry shells which they called sacred megis shells or whiteshells in midewiwin ceremonies , and the whiteshell provincial park in manitoba , canada is named after this type of shell .
they are viewed as symbols of womanhood , fertility , birth and wealth . the symbolism of the cowry shell is associated with the appearance of its underside : the lengthwise opening makes the shell look like a vulva or an eye .
cowrie shell divination is a form of fortune - telling using cowrie shells that is part of the rituals and religious beliefs of several afro - american religions , such as candomblé and umbanda . it is called jogo de búzios ( portuguese for
cowrie game
) . there are many variants , but generally the divination entails throwing a set of 8 to 21 ( most commonly 16 ) cowrie shells on a prepared table or on the ground , and interpreting the patterns that result . before each throw , the practitioner invokes and salutes the orishas , and poses questions to them . it is believed that the orishas answer the questions by influencing the way the shells fall on the table .
many people find the very rounded , shiny , porcelain - like shells of cowries pleasing to look at and to handle . shells of certain species have historically been used as currency in several parts of the world , as well as being used , in the past and present , very extensively in jewellery , and for other decorative and ceremonial purposes .
some species in the family ovulidae are also often referred to as cowries . in the british isles the local trivia species ( family triviidae , species trivia monacha and trivia arctica ) are sometimes called cowries . the ovulidae and the triviidae are somewhat closely related to the cypraeidae .
the shells of cowries are almost always smooth and shiny and more or less egg - shaped , with a long , narrow , slit - like opening ( aperture ) .

malacology is the branch of invertebrate zoology which deals with the study of the mollusca ( mollusks or molluscs ) , the second - largest phylum of animals in terms of described species after the arthropods . mollusks include snails and slugs , clams , octopus and squid , and numerous other kinds , many ( but by no means all ) of which have shells .

deep diver ( foaled 1969 ) was an irish-bred , british-trained thoroughbred racehorse and sire .

as a two-year-old in 1971 he won seven of his eleven races including the brocklesby stakes , july stakes , prix d'arenberg , cornwallis stakes and prix du petit couvert .

in the following year he took time to reproduce his best form but emerged as the best sprinter in europe with decisive wins in the nunthorpe stakes , prix de l'abbaye .

timeform rated deep diver the best racehorse of his generation in europe at both two and three years of age .

he has been retrospectively rated as one of the best british-trained sprinters of the 20th century .

deep diver stood as a breeding stallion in ireland , australia and japan but had little success as a sire of winners .

# 8 mo tom – a lot of people are going to be terrified to take this horse at a short price . i don’t blame those people for not wanting to do so , however here is the good news for those of us who are going to bet him at that short price : javier castellano . this is an excellent rider switch as corey lanerie has had enough chances to right the ship with him and he’s done nothing but cause trouble for this horse . can mo tom finally get a clean trip today ? yes…i believe he will , and i believe that will be enough to get him into the winners circle . if he finds trouble again in this race then he’s either a cursed horse or is just a horse that likes to clip heels with other horses . much like the troubled mr . z who won here last year , this is the day mo tom tosses his demons aside .
we rode up the hill , past a barn , and to a paddock in which a chestnut horse was standing , with a mesh covering over his eyes , and so i met tinners way , son of the great secretariat ! it was obvious that this horse was special to michael , and he talked at some length about the horse , and how old friends was started . i was able to give tinners way two carrots , and i seem to recall being bold enough to touch his velvety nose . after a few minutes spent with the elderly racehorse , we climbed back into michael’s golf cart , and talked about forego and forli and some other famous horses before i was dropped off with the tour group .
it was all a blur after that . the motorboat dash to shore , the hopeless race to the hotel infirmary and then to the hospital . pipín sitting in the hotel lobby afterward , lost somewhere deep inside his motionless body , his face frighteningly composed .

had been a while since my last dive and i am a novice diver . wayne , ian and the team were great they made me feel totally safe so i could relax into the dive and really enjoy it . thoroughly enjoyed my day with them and will return . . .
that special horse was silver charm , the champion that i really wanted to see , and even at his advanced age , he still looked great , though much more white than in his racing days . tom had imparted a little biography with each of the horses we’d visited , but i don’t recall much about this horse , as i was soaking in just seeing this champion in the flesh . i do recall feeding him at least one carrot , and i might have stroked his nose lightly , i can’t recall for sure . i guess i was rather star - struck !
when he heard of gallant man’s death , at the age of 34 years at spendthrift farm , hof trainer john nerud remembered his champion colt with pride , ” when he was sound and good , a horse never lived who could beat him…he had it all — speed and endurance . ”
# 7 discreet lover – even though this horse is only one for twelve in his career he still seems like a horse that could hit the board at a price and make your trifecta’s pay very well . there is no away i’d waste money putting him in the top spot , but underneath he does make a lot of sense to me . he’s ran behind a few decent horses lately , and since he’s stretched out he’s finished second three out of four races . maybe i’m crazy…but he’s my underneath price play as a i do think he’ll sit a nice trip in here .
o . k . , then , we ' ll make it 558 , a nice , round 170 meters . that was the depth she reached on her final training dive—unofficially the deepest in history—and then climbed back into the boat looking fine , admitting only later to safety diver matt briseno that she felt
weird .
suddenly the blonde jazz singer was packing the next day and leaving pipín ' s hotel suite in a huff , and audrey found herself in the woman ' s place . suddenly she was on his boat a day later , kissing him after a training dive , when he bolted overboard—the safety diver whom he ' d just met and hired , massimo berttoni , hadn ' t resurfaced after going down to retrieve the sled . suddenly she was staring at death , handling it with more calm than anyone in his crew . suddenly she was at the dead man ' s post , with pipín ' s life in her hands : she was his new safety diver at 197 feet .
pipín took a deep breath . then the boy with the orthopedic shoes and eyeglasses and rasping asthma flew off the cliff and plunged into the sea . the other children scanned the water in astonishment , then fear : where was he ? pipín was pulling off part ii of his magic act , having darted into an underwater cave he ' d discovered earlier beneath the cliff .
a half minute had passed . an eternity at such depth . oxygen dwindling . more than 200 pounds of pressure per square inch leaning on her body . pascal bernabe , the bottom safety diver , audrey ' s dear friend , inserted his mouthpiece into the lift bag to add air . the sled began to lift . . . but not enough , not enough .
down he went after the big groupers and snappers lurking in the deep water . he learned to imitate their movements , to intuit their intentions , to stalk them in the dark caves they darted into to evade him . he became a shark .
for me , sharks aren ' t monsters , but partners ,
he ' d say .
in my imagination i become one of them .
# 1 thatlookonyerface – the good news is this horse was a grade 3 winner last time out at woodbine . the bad news…he’s never ran at any other track other than woodbine . it’s been my experience that horses coming from woodbine don’t run well on conventional dirt when trying it for the first time , which is the case with him in this spot .

nashwan was a large , powerfully built chestnut horse with a white star and a white sock on his right foreleg bred by his owner hamdan al maktoum at his shadwell farm in lexington , kentucky . he was sired by the 1977 poule d ' essai des poulains winner blushing groom . blushing groom became an exceptionally successful breeding stallion , siring rainbow quest , blushing john , arazi , and many other leading horses . nashwan ' s successes made him the leading sire in great britain & ireland in 1989 . [ 1 ] nashwan ' s dam was height of fashion , a daughter of bustino previously owned by queen elizabeth ii . he was thus a half - brother to the group race winners alwasmi , unfuwain , and nayef , and a close relative of the japanese champion deep impact and the 1000 guineas winner ghanaati . [ 2 ]
audrey nailed her 263 - foot dive a few days later , and bingo , she was the french female record holder . she loved it . everything went away on a no limits dive . your worries . the world . even your body .
you forget you have one ,
she told a reporter for deeperblue . net ,
and that is when you meet the other person who lives inside you , the one in control of everything : your mind .
a year later , in 1998 , she joined pipín for a 378 - foot tandem dive in cabo san lucas , and they were the deepest - diving duo ever . they married in ' 99 . a glance , that was all they ' d have to exchange in the water now , and each would know exactly what the other meant . she became the deepest female diver ever with a 412 1 / 2 - foot plunge off the canary islands in 2000 , surviving an 18 - second fright when her sled got stuck at the bottom and safety diver pascal bernabe helped free her . she encored with a 427 - footer off fort lauderdale a year later , extending her women ' s record and making her the fifth - deepest diver , of either sex , ever .
but alphabet soup was not the last of our equine tour , as little silver charm awaited us and our attentions . a tiny pony , he had been saved from slaughter many years ago by michael , the old friends founder , and named after michael’s favorite race horse , silver charm . how could michael know then that eventually little silver charm would be pastured close to his namesake , the original silver charm ?
the final thoroughbred on the tour was alphabet soup . i am not totally sure , but i think this guy is one of tom’s favorites , just by how he talked about him . for an elderly , sway - backed horse , alphabet soup had a lot of charisma . the kids gravitated to him , and he was fed several carrots . one of my pictures shows “the look of eagles” in this old - timer .
i was glad to see i’d not missed much of the tour , as they were just finishing up visiting with i’m charismatic , arson squad , and across from them , danthebluegrassman , who seemed to be more interested in cribbing the railing than eating carrots ! i took a couple quick pictures , then hastened to catch up to the tour , which was making its way around and down the final turn , toward a very special horse .
the jazz singer rose to sing with her band . audrey took a deep breath . she ' d grown up just outside paris , the only child of scuba - diving parents and the granddaughter of a champion spearfisherman , crazy for dancing and for water and for her dream of becoming an olympic synchronized swimmer . but she ' d contracted typhoid fever at 14 after her family moved to mexico city , just as she entered her growth spurt , and it had left her with scoliosis and a spine that swerved like an s .
an italian diving journalist on holiday in havana saw how deep the 19 - year - old pipín could dive and hurried him to cuban authorities , urging them to let the boy travel overseas and break the world record . they yawned . they ' d never heard of such a sport . for six years they yawned as pipín pestered them . then came his moment . cuba , unveiling a seaside resort in cayo largo in 1987 , invited a group of international underwater photojournalists to publicize it . sure , why not let that crazy fish man entertain them ?
across from silver charm’s area was the horse graveyard , with markers for all the horses that had been residents of old friends at the time of their death . while many of the horses had names i was not familiar with , i knew by the markers whose progeny they were . i was very sorry to have missed being able to visit gulch , fraise , and kiri’s clown , the last who was the son of foolish pleasure , one of my favorite derby winners .
was the 6 / 1 second choice . ryan tracked the leaders before sending benny the dip past crystal hearted and into the lead half a mile from the finish . in the straight , benny the dip went six lengths clear of his rivals two furlongs from the finish , but was then strongly challenged in the closing stages by silver patriarch . the grey colt appeared to catch the leader a few yards from the finish , but benny the dip produced a final effort (
he dug deep
, commented ryan ) and the two colts crossed the line together .
scottish rifle was a
tall , short coupled
[ 2 ] black horse bred in ireland by the woodpark stud . as a yearling he was offered for sale and bought for 3 , 600 guineas by representatives of the scottish shipowner a j
sandy
struthers . [ 3 ] the colt was sent into training with john dunlop at arundel in west sussex . he was ridden in most of his races by the australian jockey ron hutchinson and was usually equipped with a sheepskin noseband .
pascal dipped beneath the sled , pushed it and watched it finally creep upward . upward into a vast stretch of unmanned ocean : 260 feet of it between her and the next safety diver . no cedric darolles at his old post—394 feet—where he ' d been stationed on pipín ' s and audrey ' s recent dives . he was dead , perished the year before while cave - diving , and pipín hadn ' t replaced him . it was there , three minutes and 50 seconds into the dive , that audrey lost consciousness and drifted away from the cable .
above , pipín was already in a frenzy over the time elapsed , slinging on a scuba tank , diving . below , audrey sagged into pascal ' s arms as he ascended beneath her . pascal couldn ' t do what his heart screamed to do . couldn ' t rush her to the top or he ' d die from a massive decompression hit , and there ' d be two death certificates for sure . his heart pounded . panic could kill him too . two minutes . that ' s how long a diver who lost consciousness underwater had to live .
well , then , enthused pipín , let ' s go for 597 feet—182 meters—and no , that wouldn ' t create an even riskier gap in their already overstretched chain of safety divers , see , because pipín could leave his supervising post at the surface , don scuba tanks and become the bottom diver at 597 , and then , on his next dive , could score that nice fat number still looming : 600 . serra , in charge of the dive logistics , was aghast .
do you want to dig a hole and go through the planet to china ?

owned and shown by our founder rebecca lund , champagne king was the first horse registered with the spphav . this skewbald gelding , initially lent to rebecca before being purchased , experienced double prejudice in the show ring – his being coloured and being a standardbred did not help at all back in 1993 . not to be deterred , rebecca founded the spphav as a means of providing fair and equal competition for the standardbred and partbred standardbred in victoria . champagne king became the recipient of the harness racing victoria sponsored perpetual high point award board in 1996
sanjay kolse ward big sur ( win legend – validate , deshmesh stud ) had to dig deep to thrive in a fighting finish . nelsons blood seemed to have it under control for most part of the mile race and even on entering the straight he kicked on gamely for a good part into the homestretch . the others were crowding behind him with forest fairy building up her challenge . domination and big sur also looked capable of coming good and this quartet were clustered with a furlong to go . big sur , with dashrath singh in the saddle , eventually put in that big leap to get his nose to the wire to pip domination and forest fairy and etch out a thrilling victory .
a cloud hung over her enchantment , a gnawing fear : he feared nothing—not in the water . standard diving protocol ? rules made for others . at any moment the man she loved could die .
i ' ve seen world championship divers , and i ' ve seen him ,
photographer and scuba diver ron everdij would say ,
and they are not like him . it ' s like the difference between runners from kenya and runners from the rest of the world . but one day he ' ll go wrong . he thinks he ' s invincible . he ' s like one of those people who ' s arrested for shoplifting and goes right back to the same store the next day .
nightmares wracked pipín . he knew this second death of a crew member would be turned against him . he ' d just broken with yet another institution—freediving ' s mainstream sanctioning body , aida—because his rival pelizzari was behind it and because of his disagreement over some of the safety procedures that aida requires for certification of record dives . pipín had just formed the international association of freediving ( iafd ) despite howls that it was a dangerous conflict of interest for a man to act as his own sanctioning authority on a record attempt . but pipín had seen pepe go that deep without trimix plenty of times , so that couldn ' t have caused his death , he insisted , and besides , in pipín ' s world a man died because god decided it was his time .
a startling thing was happening in her relationship with pipín . she was the diver squeezing six workouts into a week while he blew off three . the one who could withstand 90 diaphragm contractions to his 45 , could rev her heart rate to 200 while his max was 160 . who was unflappable even when pipín ambushed her during training dives , springing out of nowhere at 375 feet to snatch her and test her composure . who could read egyptian history 20 minutes before a record dive while he couldn ' t absorb a letter from his mother for the two weeks before one of his .
it made me feel ashamed ,
he admitted .
how could she do that ? she has the stronger mind . a perfect mind . i took her as a student , and she became the teacher .
ascension and stunner were the only two horses with any semblance of form , and they fought out the finish over this five - furlong scurry . the race saw the market fancies in ascension and stunner fight it out from the jump till the wire , though one must admit that ascension ( phoenix tower – wedded woman , manjri stud ) did get stronger at the finish . these two had actually run their last start together where stunner had beaten the filly . but on the day , ascension was easily the better horse and gave this mediocre set no chance while scoring her maiden victory . stunner held on to the second spot while malavika ended a fighting third . none from the rest of the field seemed in any form and will need to be extremely lucky to shed their maiden ranks during this season .
a month later , nashwan was moved up in distance for the ever ready derby over one and a half miles at epsom downs racecourse . despite the unseasonably cold , damp weather , the race attracted an estimated 500 , 000 spectators including queen elizabeth ii . [ 7 ] nashwan started 5 / 4 favourite against eleven opponents , with the biggest danger expected to come from cacoethes , winner of the lingfield derby trial . carson positioned the favourite just behind the leaders before moving up to take the lead from cacoethes in the straight . he pulled
effortlessly
[ 8 ] clear in the closing stages to win by five lengths from the 500 / 1 outsider terimon , who finished well to deprive cacoethes of second . [ 9 ] he was the first horse to complete the guineas - derby double since nijinsky ii in 1970 , [ 8 ] though he was emulated by sea the stars in 2009 and camelot in 2012 .
our first stop was next to a paddock that held a beautiful golden chestnut , identified by a sign as genuine reward . his name was familiar , and just as i thought , he was the offspring of the incomparable genuine risk , the winner of the 1980 kentucky derby , and only the second filly to win in the history of the race . she had difficulties bringing any of her pregnancies to full term , and tom informed us that this son of hers , genuine reward , was one of the only two offspring who survived to adulthood . i did ask who his sire was , and tom took out his phone to look it up : the well - known rahy . genuine reward never raced , but even at his age , twenty - three , he is a beautiful horse , and looks very similar to his mother . i was enchanted , and one of the first visitors to offer him a carrot , provided from tom’s bucket .
1957 : gallant man vs iron liege this is the story of a great jockey who made a terrible mistake . it remains the most infamous of all of the “what - went - wrong” derbies . the jockey in question , bill shoemaker , first said that his horse had taken a bad step , until he was remanded by the track stewards . their verdict was to suspend “the shoe” for 15 days . in his biography , published many years later , shoemaker stated that as he crossed the finish line , “i knew i’d made a boo boo . ” which would be to put it mildly . the horses at the centre of the controversy were the john nerud - trained gallant man and calumet farm’s iron liege . but it was a prestigious field that went to the post on that cold , grim day , led by the favourite — sunny jim fitzsimmons’ bold ruler . in the field was also the great round table , trained by moody jolley , the father of hof trainer leroy jolley . iron liege and his stable mate , gen . duke , were both sons of bull lea and although the former had the advantage of war admiral as his bm sire , he was the lighter - regarded of the two jones - trained colts . however , gen . duke was scratched after coming home from the derby trial lame , so it was iron liege and jockey bill hartack who carried calumet’s banner on derby day .
as a four - year - old scottish rifle was brought back in distance and began his campaign with three consecutive wins in group three events . he won the earl of sefton stakes at newmarket racecourse in april , giving seven pounds and a one and a half length beating royal prerogative at odds of 10 / 1 [ 5 ] with baragoi in third . the construction of a new grandstand at sandown park meant that the course was unavailable for most of the year , with most of the important fixtures being transferred to kempton park racecourse . it was therefore at kempton later in april that scottish rifle won the brigadier gerard stakes at odds of 5 / 4 , [ 5 ] beating gombos by four lengths . at the same track in may , the black colt started at odds of 8 / 11 [ 5 ] for the westbury stakes ( now the gordon richards stakes ) and won by a length from coup de feu , to whom he was conceding four pounds . on his next appearance , scottish rifle was sent to royal ascot for the prince of wales ' s stakes and was beaten a neck into second place by the french - trained colt gift card . hutchinson had restrained the horse at the rear of the field for most of the way and his exaggerated waiting tactics attracted much criticism as he was perceived to have given his mount far too much ground to make up in the last quarter mile . timeform commented that scottish rifle
ought to have won

how does a man grieve while the world ' s screaming in his ears ? one after another they came , the questions , rumors and charges of negligence howling on websites and chorused by journalists and aida officials : where , pipín , is the video of her dive , taken by the camera attached to the sled ? he couldn ' t bring himself to go near the iafd vault where it lay , let alone relinquish it . why were there so few safety divers , pipín ? he couldn ' t stand and explain his fear of hiring and risking more of them . why , pipín , wasn ' t audrey wearing a self - inflating wet suit that she could ' ve activated to jettison herself to safety , as other no limits divers used , or a harness - and - pulley system that could ' ve cranked her up from above ? he couldn ' t lift his chin and whisper his belief that all the safety systems have flaws , and who was to say that her mouth wouldn ' t open and her lungs fill with water as the pulley yanked her up , or that audrey would ' ve activated one of those self - inflating suits if she ' d worn one , when she hadn ' t even reached for pascal ' s mouthpiece ? why not appoint a neutral expert to pinpoint the causes and perhaps save a future diver ' s life , pipín ? why no doctor or intubation tubes on site , pipín ? he couldn ' t express the inexpressible , how safety nets shrivel a wallenda ' s heart . why no deaths in other divers ' no limits record attempts , pipín ? what about berttoni ' s and fernandez ' s deaths , wasn ' t there a pattern , and how does a man who doesn ' t even wear a safety belt in his car end up in charge of safety for the world ' s deepest dive , and , pssst , have you heard that he practices witchcraft ? or that wild one that his defection from cuba may have been a ruse so he could serve castro as a spy ?

similar to the atacama’s animal life , its plants rely on a diverse set of survival strategies . for instance , many plants have a long tap root that extends deep below the sand surface to absorb water from underground aquifers . some species have life cycles characterized by long dormant periods and short reproductive cycles . this strategy allows them to avoid growth in harsh conditions and instead capitalize on moisture as soon as it is available in quantities sufficient for fertilization , seed production , and germination .
another resident of the atacama is the human species . more than one million people live in the atacama , clustered mainly within mining settlements , port towns , and oasis villages . unfortunately , increased farming activity , overgrazing of livestock , and overharvesting of rare plants have placed impossible demands on the desert’s meager water supply and plant and animal life . as a result , the study and conservation of the delicate atacama ecosystem now plays a vital role in the success of life in this hostile environment .

vegetation in the atacama is most abundant in fog zones , which are found mainly along steep coastal areas , where the sharp rises in topography disrupt air currents and promote the accumulation of tiny droplets of water . within fog zones are plant communities known as lomas , which consist of many unique species of flowering plants , such as bromeliads , that bring seasonal color to the landscape . cactus and scrubland species , including mesquite , tufted grass , and sage , also grow in and around fog zones and areas fed by snowmelt .
