![]() But other than looking cool, no one was sure if these zebra-esque paint jobs accomplished much. Our modern haze grey is descended from this so dazzle schemes were vital in getting us to where we are today.īack in World Wars I and II, warships were painted with odd, cubist-looking geometric designs intended to confuse attacking weapons systems. ![]() The crew claims they maintained Periscope observations but could not see the ship) Testing proved the light ship concept is very ideal. (Below is USS Sampson clad in Measure 16 so effective was it in the Atlantic a wayward submarine crashed into a ship clad in it one night. On a interesting note dazzle may have acutally had good low visibility characteristics due to the large amount of white painted on the ships (look up the Western Approaches scheme or Measure 16 for more info on the "white ship" camouflage methodology that was first put forth by Abbott Thayer) and in the cloudy Atlantic a white ship is better than dark grey overall (even with the black) so at ranges over 1000 meters in the Atlantic it may have actually made the ships harder to see which would explain why people thought it was successful. If i did my sumz right I get that for an appreciable torpedo error distance a ship at 1000 meters would need to be going 80 miles an hour or more for dazzle to work based on Scott-Samuel's findings.

Report can be found here June 2011 | Volume 6 | Issue 6 | e20233, "Dazzle Camouflage Affects Speed Perception Low visibility is likely more ideal for most situations. However you sacrifice any chance of low visibility in doing this so when your ship is parked or land rover is at a stoplight it may not protect you at all. So it does work but you need to be going fast in order to maximize its perceptual effects. The report states that at 70 meters with a land rover sized target moving at 90kmh the error a RPG gunner would likely be about 1 meter when the vehicle was equipped with a zigzag dazzle design. The report showed that no meaningful distortion occurred until a speed of 8 miles an hour or more was achieved (distance 10meters from viewer so epxand this to naval ranges). ![]() A report by Nicholas Scott-Samuel from the UK did a study on dazzle in terms of affecting the ability to judge speed or rather speed perception of a object clad in several types of high contrast dazzle. ![]()

![]() They always have live music and a pop up bar while guests mingled and danced. You can’t tell from this picture but the beautiful outdoor hotel Lobby was the place to be from 6-10pm most nights. We didn’t attend any of the shows last year but I’m so glad we did this year! The resort has a beautiful theater area with a bar where different acts come to entertain each night. It was fun to get out on the water since there are no jet-skis/boats around the resort. We ended up joining the sunset kayak tour one night which was before sunset due to the storms. There are kayaks, paddle boards and hobie cats for use at the beach. You can say no if you want to but honestly I’m glad I said yes to everything since the water aerobics, pool volley ball, Zumba classes and water competitions were so fun! Shoutout to Eddy Murphy (his entertainment name), Diva, The Cat and Mr. I had so much fun with the entertainment crew all week! They were super lively and fun and always pushed us to join the activities. Loved hearing the live saxophone player they had a few of the days! Each day they set up a lunch buffet with tables and chairs for beach go-ers to enjoy instead of walking towards the pool area, which was one of my favorite things. The private beach was just as fabulous with white sand and ample space so you aren’t on top of others. Loved using my GoProHero7Black this trip! J and I didn’t care much so while we always found chairs when we needed to it took some time or weren’t the best location. I will say you have to fight/get up early for chairs by the pool. I am a pool girl through and through and this one was just perfect! Technically, it’s two infinity pools with a swim up bar. The pool/beach was the gem of the resort for us! The colorful and vibrant view was just AMAZING. Again not a deal breaker by any means just an observation. I would have preferred it inside since we didn’t have a view and didn’t really use it as much as we did last year. The only difference was the bathtub is outside which if I’m being honest wasn’t my favorite. This room met all our needs with similar amenities to last year, mini bar, safe/closet, overhead rain shower. It was newer since this resort opened at the end of 2016 and the room had a great amount of space. As long as the room/bathroom has air conditioning and is clean, we are happy. Sometimes an upgrade is possible upon arrival so we figure book the basic since we also aren’t in the room that much. We always opt for the basic garden view king during these vacations. There are sometimes travel agents in the groups who can also offer you a lower price booked through them. However, after scouting our usually booking sites ( too) we found that our triple AAA discount booked through the Secrets website gave us the best deal!Īnother money saving tip: Join a facebook group of resorts you are looking to visit 6 months in advance for tips on whether you are getting a great price for the week you are looking at. April is actually a perfect time to go because prices are generally lower per night (minus school breaks in your area/Easter time). I do think the earlier you book the better. I watched the prices on fluctuate all through November/December but finally settled on booking in January. I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves!

The genetics of comb type of chickens is historically significant. GENETICS OF COMB TYPEĬhickens have a variety of comb types, as shown in Figure 2. These traits include comb type, feather color, shank/foot color, and skin color. When breeding chickens, it is helpful to understand why certain significant observable traits exist in certain chickens. GENETICS OF SIGNIFICANT OBSERVABLE TRAITS IN CHICKENS The result is the range of brown color observed in eggs laid by different breeds of chickens. Brown shell color in eggs, for example, is controlled by as many as 13 genes. Such traits are called quantitative traits. A particular trait can be controlled by numerous gene pairs. To confuse things further, not every trait is controlled by a single pair of genes. The contribution from each gene in the pair can be equal, or the contribution can be dominated more by one gene than the other. This phenomenon is referred to as codominance. In some gene pairs, however, each gene is capable of some degree of expression in the heterozygous condition. Typically, in the heterozygous condition, the dominant gene is expressed over the recessive gene. (The two variant forms of the gene in such a gene pair are called alleles.) The heterozygous condition occurs when one gene present is the dominant gene and the other is the recessive gene. The homozygous recessive condition occurs when both genes present are the recessive gene. When dealing with a trait for which there is a dominant gene and a recessive gene, three conditions (combinations of the genes in the gene pair) can occur. The homozygous dominant condition occurs when both genes present are the dominant gene. A gene that can express itself only in the homozygous state is referred to as a recessive factor. A gene that can express itself in the homozygous state or the heterozygous state is referred to as a dominant factor. If the genes are different, the genetic state is referred to as heterozygous. If the genes are the same, the genetic state is referred to as homozygous. The phenotype for a specific trait in a chicken depends on the makeup of the gene pair for that trait. Each parent contributes one gene in each pair of genes. Jacquie Jacob, University of Kentucky).īecause chromosomes come in pairs, genes also come in pairs. Sex chromosomes of mammals and birds (Image created by Dr. Autosomes are all the chromosomes except the sex chromosomes.įigure 1. The sex chromosomes of mammals and birds are illustrated in Figure 1. In chickens, the sex chromosomes are referred to as Z and W. A chicken having the sex chromosomes ZW is female, and a chicken having the sex chromosomes ZZ is male. A human having the sex chromosomes XX is female, and a human having the sex chromosomes XY is male. In humans, the sex chromosomes are referred to as X and Y. ![]() The sex chromosomes carry the genetic material that determines the sex of an offspring. The two categories of chromosomes are sex chromosomes and autosomes. Examples of aspects of a chicken’s phenotype include body shape, feather color, eye color, comb type, and so on. Phenotype-The observable physical or biochemical characteristics of an organism resulting from its genotype.Genotype-The genetic makeup of an organism.Chromosomes typically come in pairs, with one set donated from the mother and one from the father. Chromosomes function in the transmission of hereditary material from one generation to the next. Chromosome-A structure containing a complete strand of DNA.Gene-A segment of DNA that carries a blueprint for the function of a cell and, ultimately, a particular characteristic of an organism.DNA is arranged in the double helix–shaped strands. DNA (short for deoxyribonucleic acid)-The material containing the genetic instructions used in the development and function of an organism.In particular, it is useful to understand the key elements of genetics and to know why certain traits exist in certain chickens.Ī basic knowledge of poultry genetics begins with understanding the following key terms: If you breed poultry or are considering breeding poultry, a basic knowledge of poultry genetics is important. ![]() |
