Amastra
Amastra is a genus of small air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Amastridae.

Like many Hawaiian land snails, species in this genus have adapted to a specific ecological niche and have evolved in relative isolation. They used to thrive in wet or moderately wet forested areas.

Unfortunately, many of the species in this genus have become extinct in recent times or have become critically endangered through habitat loss or, in most cases, predation by Euglandina rosea. This loss is often highlighted as part of the broader biodiversity crisis faced by the Hawaiian Islands.

Some individuals of remaining extant Amastra species were collected for captive breeding programs at the Bishop Museum and Snail Extinction Prevention Program. Reintroductions of some species are currently underway.

Flowing generally southwest from its origin near Sugarloaf Mountain in the Siskiyou National Forest, the river enters the sea at Pistol River State Scenic Viewpoint, 10 miles (16 km) south of Gold Beach. The river received its name after pioneer James Mace lost his pistol in it in 1853.

The Pistol River supports populations of chinook salmon, threatened coho salmon, steelhead, and coastal cutthroat trout. The river flows generally through forests where logging has damaged the fish habitat. Work to restore the habitat is ongoing.

Threatened species
A threatened species is any species (including animals, plants and fungi) which is vulnerable to extinction in the near future. Species that are threatened are sometimes characterised by the population dynamics measure of critical depensation, a mathematical measure of biomass related to population growth rate. This quantitative metric is one method of evaluating the degree of endangerment without direct reference to human activity.

Fodera
Fodera is an American manufacturer of electric bass guitars in Brooklyn, New York. Vinny Fodera and Joey Lauricella launched the company around 1983 after dissolving their working relationship with Ken Smith Basses.

Fodera instruments are made with an inlaid butterfly on the headstock of most basses.  Other features include a single-cutaway design, an ash neck and exposed dual-coil pickups with wood covers.

Pickup (music technology)
A pickup is an electronic device that converts energy from one form to another that captures or senses mechanical vibrations produced by musical instruments, particularly stringed instruments such as the electric guitar, and converts these to an electrical signal that is amplified using an instrument amplifier to produce musical sounds through a loudspeaker in a speaker enclosure. The signal from a pickup can also be recorded directly.

The first electrical string instrument with pickups, the "Frying Pan" slide guitar, was created by George Beauchamp and Adolph Rickenbacker around 1931.

Most electric guitars and electric basses use magnetic pickups. Acoustic guitars, upright basses and fiddles often use a piezo electric pickup.
