# Circle hook

A circle hook is a type of fish hook which is sharply curved back in a circular shape. It has become widely used among anglers in recent years because the hook generally catches more fish and is rarely swallowed. Since the circle hook catches the fish on the lips at the corner of its mouth, it usually decreases the mortality rates of released fish as compared to J-hook (like O'Shaughnessy or Octopus hooks) which are often swallowed by the fish, causing damage to the gills or vital organs. The circle hook's shape allows it to only hook onto an exposed surface, which in the case of a fish means the corner of its mouth. The fish takes the baited hook and swallows it, and as the hook is reeled in, it is safely pulled out of the fish until it reaches the mouth. At this point it will catch the corner of the mouth, resulting in fewer gut-hooked fish.
It is important not to perform a traditional hookset when a fish bites; rather, just begin reeling in. Performing a typical hookset while using a circle hook often results in the hook being pulled out of the fish altogether.
Studies have shown that circle hooks do less damage to billfish than the traditional J-hooks, yet they are just as effective for catching billfish. This is good for conservation, since it improves survival rates after release.

## Difference between J-Hook and circle hook

J-hook has a rounded throat, an upward-facing point, a straight medium-sized shank that is slightly longer than the point, and a small brazed eye. Circle hooks have a circular bend, a medium-length shank, and a sharp inward-facing point.
# Blowout (album)

Blowout is the eighth solo album by American keyboardist and record producer John Carroll Kirby, released on June 30, 2023, through Stones Throw Records. It was preceded by the lead single "Oropendola" and inspired by Kirby's time in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica, where he began writing the album.

## Background and recording

Kirby began writing the album after making a trip to Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica for his travelogue series Kirby's Gold, naming the lead single "Oropendola" after the oropendola bird. He then finished recording the album at Stones Throw Studio in Los Angeles "with a stripped-down band".

Blowout received a score of 84 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on four critics' reviews, indicating "universal acclaim". Thom Jurek of AllMusic described Blowout as "easily the most exotic-sounding album in Kirby's catalog" along with "Kirby's most adventurous record as well as his most accessible, thanks to hip arrangements, imaginative compositions, and focused, expert musicianship". Nick Roseblade of Clash called it "perhaps [Kirby's] best album yet" as "he just unloads melody, after melody, after melody". Roseblade remarked that Blowout "isn't a calypso album, but it also is calypso. If calypso had subtle electronic glitches, beats and blips as well as flutes and steel drums", and "what Blowout does really well is transport you to a version of Costa Rica that doesn't really exist [...] What more do you want from John Carroll Kirby?" Uncut described the album as "entirely irresistible" and Mojo called it "a left-field jazz date transversing elation and sadness". Brady Brickner-Wood of Pitchfork concluded that the album "signals a compositional maturation: He's tightening his skills and daring to experiment while also making more accessible, pleasure-packed pieces", finding it to be "sprinkled with moments that jolt you to attention as surely as they soothe".

# NGC 1559

NGC 1559 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Reticulum. It was discovered on 6 November 1826 by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop.
NGC 1559 is a Seyfert galaxy, i.e. it has a quasar-like nuclei with very high surface brightnesses whose spectra reveal strong, high-ionisation emission lines, but unlike quasars, the host galaxy is clearly detectable. Although it was originally thought to be a member of the Dorado Group, subsequent observations have shown that it is in fact not a member of any galaxy group or cluster and does not have any nearby companions. NGC 1559 has massive spiral arms and strong star formation. It contains a small bar which is oriented nearly east-west and spans 40″. Its bar and disc are the source of very strong radio emissions.
Four supernovae have been observed in NGC 1559:
* Australian amateur astronomer Robert Evans discovered the first three: SN 1984J (type II, mag. 13.5), SN 1986L (type II, mag. 13.5), and SN 2005df (Type Ia, mag 12.3).
* SN 2009ib (type IIP, mag. 14.7) was discovered by the CHASE project (CHilean Automatic Supernova sEarch) on 6 August 2009.
