![]() There is not enough evidence yet to say for certain. Lemaitre and Muller have speculated that the candy-striped hermit crab may be working in a mutually beneficial partnership with the other species, perhaps removing parasites from the larger creature. “It seemed like the candy-striper was picking something off the skin of the spotted moray eel, which was interesting.” “I did see one with a spotted moray eel once that was injured,” Muller says. The animals seem to tolerate each other and may benefit from each others presence. ![]() Typically, Muller has seen the hermit crabs in crevices within underwater dens shared by lobsters and moray eels. I've gone back many times to see the first ones that I found. “I found them at a couple of different dive sites. But Muller pulled it off and then started to find the candy-striped crabs in other places as well. Trying to find the exact same spot with the exact same lobster den and the same tiny hermit crab seemed to be an order of magnitude more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack. I dive a lot at night to see things that most people don't see.” “I love looking for unusual and cryptic creatures that most people would go right by,” Muller says. What sets Muller apart is her willingness to dive at night and look very closely for the tiniest creatures. Muller is an American ex-pat who has lived since 1980 on Bonaire, a popular tourist destination in the Dutch Antilles, where thousands of divers each year take underwater photos and videos of creatures living among the easily accessed coral reefs. In 2001 Muller took up SCUBA diving and underwater photography. I dive a lot at night to see things that most people don't see,” says Ellen Muller, who named the new species after her granddaughter. He realized that this was probably a new species but in order to be certain, he would need better photographs and then physical specimens. The colors and the claw shape of this thumbnail-sized crab were unlike anything that Lemaitre, a hermit crab expert, had ever seen before. “The morphology was something that was not common.” “Ellen Muller sent me the first photograph and I realized right away it was something that had not been reported,” Lemaitre says. “She's seven so she doesn't quite understand it all but she's very happy about it.” At Muller's request, Lemaitre named the species after her granddaughter, Molly, “to inspire her to appreciate and protect the marine life once she grows up,” Muller says. The new species has been given the Latin name, Pylopaguropsis mollymullerae. The new species, which Muller has given the common name of “candy-striped hermit crab” due to its red and white stripes, has just been described in a paper by Rafael Lemaitre, a research zoologist at Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History and the curator of decapod Crustacea. She hadn't even noticed it while taking the picture. Little did she realize at the time that besides expertly framing and lighting her picture of a brightly colored lobster, she had discovered a completely unknown species of hermit crab lurking in the background of her photograph.Īfter her dive, Muller looked at the image of the lobster on her computer screen and realized that the tiny crab behind it wasn't a species that she recognized from her many other dives in the area. On a nighttime SCUBA dive in waters off of the Caribbean island of Bonaire, Ellen Muller moved in close to photograph a flaming reef lobster with a red light that wouldn't scare animals the way that a standard white light might.

![]() Gaming laptops need strong graphics capabilities, of course. HandBrake loves the extra hardware inside Intel’s 8th-gen chips. The file we encode in our CPU-intensive HandBrake test (which uses an older version of the software) takes around 45 minutes on a quad-core processor, or as you can see from these benchmarks, just over a half-hour on the new breed of Intel hexa-core chips. Brad Chacos/IDGīut Cinebench’s benchmark runs in a short duration. The newer 8750H chip also packs a slight single-core performance bump. As you’d expect, the two extra cores and four extra threads give the Special Edition a big bump up over the older Helios 300 in multi-threaded performance, though it’s just a hair slower than Dell’s duo. Maxon’s Cinebench R15 measures raw CPU performance, and will happily use as many threads as you can throw at it. The Dell XPS 15 isn’t technically a gaming laptop-it’s more of a mainstream workhorse with a splash of gaming on the side. To see how it handles, we’re comparing it against similarly priced laptops in a bevy of benchmark tests, including the $1,500 Dell with a Core i7-8750H and a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti the $1,200 Dell G7 15 7588 (phew!) with an 8750H and a GTX 1060 Max-Q and Acer’s older Helios 300 with a quad-core Core i7-7700HQ processor. Storage capacity aside, the Acer Predator Helios 300 Special Edition packs hardware with some serious game. It’s pleasant to use when you can figure out which keys to click, though.Īcer Predator Helios 300 Special Edition performance ![]() I’ve never had to recommend that for a laptop before. Unless you’re in a dark room the white-on-white setup proves illegible, frankly, and the keyboard’s much more usable if you disable the backlighting completely. But Acer also decided to use a white backlight on the keyboard, and it’s uneven at that, with the letters on some keys alternating between backlit patches and ugly dark blobs. Brad Chacos/IDGĪh, it’s much better with the backlighting off completely.Īll the keys are white except for WASD, which ship with golden caps. If you click to enlarge the image you can see the inconsistency of the backlighting (look at Enter, Backspace, Alt Gr, B, N, and more). I wish the keyboard backlighting were brighter, though. The Acer Predator Helios 300 Special Edition’s screen shines brighter than its predecessor, too, rated for up to 300 nits compared to the 230 nits we measured on the standard model. If you don’t mind bumping graphics settings from Ultra down to High to gain more speed, it’ll be a welcome upgrade, though, and the IPS display offers wide viewing angles. The 1080p display also received an upgrade, going from 60Hz up to a buttery-smooth 144Hz, though the GeForce GTX 1060 GPU inside won’t be able to push most games anywhere near that fast. ![]() It’s faster, too, topping out at 4.1GHz turbo speeds. The laptop got a computing boost courtesy of Intel’s more-core 8th-gen processors: While the Helios 300 we reviewed earlier this year packed a then-flagship Intel Core i7-7700HQ with four cores and eight threads, the Special Edition hums along with a 6-core, 12-thread Core i7-8750H.

If your page takes too long to load your visitors might get tired of waiting and move on to something else. It will improve your page loading speed (see our case study below for how much it affects your speed).And ironically, a good image optimization workflow is one of the easiest things to implement, yet a lot of website owners overlook this. It’s more important than scripts and fonts. So when it comes to optimizing your site, after video content, images are by far the first place you should start! According to HTTP Archive, as of November 2018, images make up on average 21% of a total webpage’s weight. This is the default for elements but should be specified otherwise.Check Out Our Video Guide to Optimizing Images for SEO The Benefits of Formatting Your Imagesįirst, why do you need to format your images? What are the benefits? There are numerous benefits of optimizing your images for performance.When using fill, the parent element must have display: block.This is necessary for the proper rendering of the image element in that layout mode.When using fill, the parent element must have position: relative.You cannot use styled-jsx because it's scoped to the current component (unless you mark the style as global).You can also use the style prop to assign inline styles.This can be an imported CSS Module, a global stylesheet, etc. In most cases, we recommend using the className prop.Use className or style, not styled-jsx.Styling the Image component is similar to styling a normal element, but there are a few guidelines to keep in mind: If none of the suggested methods works for sizing your images, the next/image component is designed to work well on a page alongside standard elements. If your application is retrieving image URLs using an API call (such as to a CMS), you may be able to modify the API call to return the image dimensions along with the URL. If you're serving images from a source that you control, consider modifying your image pipeline to normalize the images to a specific size. You can also use object-fit with fill, contain, or cover, and object-position to define how the image should occupy that space. Consider using CSS to give the image's parent element space on the page along sizes prop to match any media query break points. The fill prop allows your image to be sized by its parent element. If you are accessing images from a source without knowledge of the images' sizes, there are several things you can do: What if I don't know the size of my images? Implicitly, by using fill which causes the image to expand to fill its parent element.Explicitly, by including a width and height property.This allows the browser to reserve precisely enough space for the image before it loads.īecause next/image is designed to guarantee good performance results, it cannot be used in a way that will contribute to layout shift, and must be sized in one of three ways: The way to avoid image-based layout shifts is to always size your images. This performance problem is so annoying to users that it has its own Core Web Vital, called Cumulative Layout Shift. ![]() One of the ways that images most commonly hurt performance is through layout shift, where the image pushes other elements around on the page as it loads in. ![]() See more about priority in the next/image component documentation.

(Hopefully they like the taste.) "Based on clinical experience, babies will respond within several days of this intervention," says Dr. Hopefully your baby likes the taste.Īfter serving your baby the prune juice, what should you expect to happen next? The results may not be immediate. "You can give prune juice every day for about one to two weeks," says Dr. With this in mind, it's smart to use just a little bit to help get your baby's system moving. In addition to the potential for missed nutrition, babies' systems have a harder time managing water and sugar when compared to someone a bit older, Dr. ![]() Steven Ciciora tells Romper over the phone. Why is such a small amount of juice recommended? "I would not use any more than 2 ounces at a time, because little babies rely on formula and/or breast milk for nutrition, and apple, pear, or prune juice is not complete nutrition," gastroenterologist Dr. Again, check with your pediatrician for advice on which type of juice is best for your baby. Cezar recommends trying apple or pear juice instead of prune juice, because prune juice can cause abdominal pain in babies. If you don't have prune juice on hand, then other varieties of juice might work as well. (As with anything related to your baby's health, check with your pediatrician to find out the right amount of prune juice for your little one.) What about the younger set? "If your baby is younger than four months of age, the recommendation is to mix 1 ounce of prune juice in 1 ounce of water, one to two times a day," says Dr. João Pedro Locatelli Cezar, pediatric hematologist-oncologist, tells Romper. "For infants 4 months and older, 2 to 4 ounces of 100% fruit juice per day is a reasonable starting dose," Dr. The exact amount of prune juice you serve will depend on your baby's age. "Prune juice is a great way to treat constipation in babies because it helps draw fluid into the intestines, thereby loosening the stools," pediatrician Florencia Segura M.D., FAAP, tells Romper via email. For instance, how much prune juice can a baby have for constipation? It's a tried-and-true method to deal with this particular stomach issue, but nobody wants to give a baby too much of it. It's definitely possible to help treat your baby's tummy problems at home, but not all adult-sized remedies are right for them. ![]() ![]() Chances are you have no idea how to make amends for your missteps considering you’ve never had to, but it’s time that you learn. Crunch, “oops” is not an apology, and it certainly doesn’t vindicate you of your failures. That’s privilege in action, and hopefully, Cap’n Crunch will one day take a step back and realize all the ways he’s benefited in life simply because of how he was born. The most damning aspect of all this is that the Cap’n didn’t even consider resigning after letting the “All Berries” fiasco happen under his watch, whereas a POC in the same position would’ve been shit-canned immediately. It’s an outrageous double standard that we must no longer tolerate. But good luck getting such benefit of the doubt if you’re a WOC ship captain-one small slip-up and people will never let you sail around teaching kids about breakfast cereal ever again. See, when a straight white man makes a mistake, society tends to dismiss it as a fluke and just continues acting like he’s a genius. And not only did he emerge unscathed, but it also wasn’t long before he was once again being trusted with major projects like Cozmic Crunch, proving that he, like so many other straight white men, was above reproach. Yet the Cap’n never faced any consequences for the blunder because his status as a powerful white male shielded him from accountability. ![]() It was a disastrous and costly error-and one that a woman or person of color would’ve never made, as women and people of color would’ve taken every precaution to ensure the correct ratio of Crunch Berries to yellow squares, knowing that even the most minor misstep could be attributed to incompetence or an inability to handle the stress of the job. In case you need a refresher, back in 1997, Cap’n Crunch mistakenly released a cereal that was 100% Crunch Berries with none of the yellow square pieces that consumers had come to expect.

The solar cells gather light energy from any source - natural or artificial - and store it in an internal rechargeable battery. The concept behind Eco-Drive is simple: rather than requiring a battery, it uses energy from light to keep time.
