The Yellow-bellied Sea Snake, Pelamis platurus, is easily recognised by its paddle-shaped tail and distinctive colouration of a dark back contrasting with variously patterned paler sides and belly. It has more than 40 rows of mid-body scales and large regular head scales. Total length of about 80 cm.
Yellow-bellied Sea SnakePhotographer: Peter Robertson. Source: Wildlife Profiles Pty Ltd
This species lives in the surface layers of the open ocean and drifts passively in warm currents. It probably occurs in Victorian waters as a result of drifting down from further north. It is quite helpless on land and sea snakes washed onto beaches during storms seldom manage to return to the sea.
The Yellow-bellied Sea Snake feeds entirely on small fish, which it immobilises with a potent venom. Females give birth to 1-6 live young.
Care should be taken with this species as it is considered dangerous. If bitten on a limb, apply a pressure bandage, immobilise the limb and seek medical advice immediately. If bitten elsewhere, apply continual direct pressure to the bite site. Do not wash the wound as the venom can confirm the identification of the snake.

Hi Amelia,
If you would like more specific information about Yellow-bellied sea snakes, please feel free to submit an enquiry to the experts detailing your questions here: Ask the experts
Hi there, Christian. Like many sea snakes, this species has a paddle-like tail for ease of moving through the water. This - along with its special scales - is ideal for aquatic life.
Thanks Cooper, Lachie and Hayden! We have contacted the Senior Curator of Terrestrial Vertebrates and she thinks that you have done the right thing and that you may have in fact saved the snake. We would like to remind you though that these snakes are venomous and you should be careful.
Hi Les - Having checked this reference book - Cogger, H. 2000. Reptiles and Amphibians of Australia. - it would appear that the Yellow-bellied Sea Snake has a distribution that extends well down the coasts of NSW, so your find would not be unheard of in that location. I hope it recovered! As always, please exercise caution when handling wild reptiles; these snakes do have a venomous bite.
Hi Lis - Yes, these snakes have a very wide distribution, so it is certainly possible that this is the snake you found.
This species has an international distribution which includes the Indian Ocean, so it's perfectly normal to find them in Seychelles.
Hi John, sharks and other large predatory fish as well as birds are the more obvious predators of the Sea Snake. As potentially dangerous as sea snakes are they are still vulnerable to attacks from other animals. Many birds are very adept at killing snakes to have for a meal, and snakes that spend their life in the water are no exception.
Hi Cori, it is possible that what you have seen is not the species found around Australia but one of the North American species. You may want to contact the Florida Museum of Natural History who will have more information on the species of snake found in that part of the world.
Hi Blake - we wouldn't be able to suggest an identification for what bit you without seeing an image, however it is safe to assume that if this species can be found in Victorian waters, it certainly is possible that they could be found near Killalea.
Hope this helps
Hi Christine, You can find the answers to some of your questions in the InfoSheet above. Yellow-bellied Sea Snakes live on the surface of the water well away from land, not on the sea floor or in caves. They are often seen as individuals, but can also form extremely large groups associated with long lines of debris on the sea surface. They are predators creeping up on, or waiting to ambush, prey. They are piscivores (they eat only fish). They do not have many predators; their bright colours act as a warning that the snake is highly venomous. The venom is highly toxic and contains potent neurotoxins and myotoxins that can cause muscle pain and stiffness, drooping eyelids, drowsiness and vomiting, and possibly paralysis and death. If bitten, seek medical attention immediately. Reproduction occurs in warm waters throughout the year, but only during warmer months in cooler waters. They give birth to 2-6 live young from early spring to mid-autumn. Gestation is 5 months.
Hi Donna - we suppose it's not out of the question, but there's no way of being certain without seeing the animal - if you have any photographs, feel free to upload and send them through to us via the Ask the Experts page and we'll see what we can do
We love receiving comments, but can't always respond.
Hi Max, This sort of information is not really kept by Australian state or federal institutions, but rather by the issuing entity which in this case would ...

I think there's an error in your post. You linked at the end to some of the "tools in use at airports and just not known what they were."

Can you fix it so we can read about the new technologies and know what to expect? I'm flying next Wednesday, so I need to know quick!

Hello Bob --
I'm going to be leaving for Kronos shortly. Are there any special requirements to put my Batleth in my checked bag?
I have heard that the duranium alloy gives an unusual signature on your primitive X-ray devices, leading to a baggage search. Last flight, one of your fragile humans cut themselves rather badly as they pawed through my luggage. The human blood on my belongings led to some consternation as I was clearing Federation customs on my way to the Home World. Do I need to declare my Batleth, much as you humans do with your firearms?

While we're on the subject of aliens, what about one of the Founders of the Dominion (a.k.a. Changelings)? If they're so inclined, they can be solid, but their natural form is liquid.
If one of them clears security in humanoid form, but later takes their natural form, did they just violate 3-1-1?

You mean the country that has random full body searches at checkpoints on the street, in front of stores, restaurants, and clubs? You're saying that is what you want the TSA to do?
Israel has one major airport. US Airports screen the equivalent of Israels's entire population every couple of days.

Am pretty upset- just got home with my checked back - JFK-LAX. Inside was a TSA standard notification that they must inspect some bags physically (?). Well, they either broke - and didn't admit or took a dish that was part of the set. The other dishes came trough fine- they were all packed with dirty laundry around them. So, couldn't they apologize that they broke one? Or did someone get sloppy and forget to return it?

So how was all of your weekends?! Here is how my WONDERFUL weekend with my dad, a 32 year Colon Cancer Survivor with ostomy, ended at the Fresno Airport. I posted this on the UOAA website and thought you all would enjoy this story, not sure enjoy is the word!
Greetings Everyone, just your friendly Ostomate here and TSA nabbed me again last night, even after going through a Body Scanner, they said I had an anomaly, AKA Colostomy.
So lets back track, you can go under my member name and read the history there are several posts. And if you remember I was on the local news and here is that link:
http://www.azcentral.com/video/#/Tempe% ... 7811395001
I did not let what happened last year keep me down and I have flown at least 5 times if not more since the incident. Flown through Major airports like my hometown of Phoenix Sky Harbor, or Atlanta and Charlotte, all I opted for Body Scans because I was told this was the best way so they could "see" everything, all without incident until I got to Fresno Intl Airport visiting my Dad, who happens to be a 32 year survivor of Colon Cancer and has a Ostomy for as long, for Father's Day.
NO ONE was in line and all the TSA were standing around, did the body Scanner, and was held and told I had an anomaly and needed to be patted down....ok, that is fine. Then I was told I had to be stripped searched and I just lost it, started crying and very upset and asked for a Supervisor, who happened to NOT be on the floor at the time. So here I am in a room with two women, the supervisor never came so I sad ok lets do this, they asked me to pull my pants down and pat my Ostomy with MY hand and swab the bomb paper.......well, my bag had poop in it so out came the poop and into the TSA's hand and OMG their looks on their faces was priceless holding a handful of poop. Well that is what was in there and had to go through to get their swab.....then the ladies were like we did not mean for you to hand us poop!!!! I think they were traumatized...hey so was I!!!! Serves them right! And through my tears of humiliation, I had to giggle under my breathe. O and I came out clean, well maybe not exactly clean with the poop around, but clean of bombs!
You know I said this before I am the BIGGEST Patriot there is, I work for the government as a Federal Agent, I have a Top Security Clearance. I was married to a man that served 26 years in the Air Force, both my kids were born on AF Bases. I have voted in every Presidential Election, on and on. There has GOT to be a better way, really, what ever happened to those frequent flyer clearances?
Last time I wrote letters and went to the news, I heard from TSA in DC and was told they would use my case for sensitivity training, but here we are AGAIN! I almost feel like I have been struck by lightening twice, which is RARE, 1 in a million. And I feel REALLY bad because some of you refuse to fly because what happened to me TWICE may happen to you. And yes I will fly again.
So I will get out my last letter, make some calls. I have the names of the TSA officers from last night. And if any of you have suggestions, I am open to hear them. All I want to do is educate them and all I want is for none of you to have to endure what I have been through twice, it is so degrading and emotionally draining! And I simply CANNOT believe this happened to me again!

Still is quite funny given the rather serious levels of security we're in these days..... A little humor doesn't hurt as long as it is in good taste.

...well I felt like an alien (though hardly invisible) at the TSA airport yesterday. It took them 1/2 hour to search my laptop bag for something strange.... what was it? One of my AA batteries (I keep a backup set for my mouse).
what a joke.

Thanks, People need to get a grip! A little humor is a real human trait. TSA seems to be the bad guy when doing their job. (Trying to protect the flying public.)Hopefully you get a little positive response when hostile intentions are derailed.
Thanks again.

This article has been done in bad taste even though it was meant as a joke for April 1st. The website manager needs to remove this blog and not allow anymore jokes to be posted on the site again. You are opening up TSA to a civil lawsuit by continuing to post this article. If the general public gets a hole of this it will be blown out of proportion. It also shows how many crazy people we have employeed in TSA amongst our ranks. Not a good article in my opinion and it relects badly upon our TSO's. April Fools Day is over.

Our fantasy football weekly player rankings are part of FootballDocs In-season content. All of FootballDocs In-season content is 100% free.
FootballDocs fantasy football weekly rankings are designed to provide further assistance to those difficult fantasy football start sit line-up decisions beyond what is provided in our Fantasy Football Start Sit column each week.
There are several variables considered when compiling this list, but the primary variables include match-up, player ability, game plan, and role in the offense for the current, upcoming week in the NFL / fantasy football season. Since all of these variables are evaluated solely on a week to week basis, this list will
change considerably each week. As such, this list indicates short-term player value based on the current, upcoming weekly match-ups alone, and it is not to be confused with a traditional Fantasy Football Player Rankings list, which considers aggregate performance over an entire season. Consequently, this list
should not be used to help evaluate significant trades or assess long-term player value. It is only intended to help with fantasy football start sit line-up decisions for the current week of the NFL / fantasy football season.
You wanted it, and you got it! Fantasy football weekly rankings are here to further help with those critical start sit decisions. We've got our weekly rankings broken down by the four primary offensive skill positions.

XNA Game Studio 4.0 is a programming environment that allows you to use Visual Studio to create games for Windows Phone, the Xbox 360 console, and Windows-based computers. XNA Game Studio includes the XNA Framework, which is a set of managed libraries designed for game development based on Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.
To run XNA Framework games on a computer running a Windows operating system, you need a graphics card that supports, at minimum, Shader Model 1.1 and DirectX 9.0c. We recommend using a graphics card that supports Shader Model 2.0, which is required by some samples and starter kits. To execute and debug XNA Framework games for Windows Phone with the Windows Phone emulator, you need a graphics card that supports, at minimum, DirectX 10, with a supporting WDDM 1.1 driver. To develop XNA Framework games for Xbox 360, you need a hard disk installed on your Xbox 360 console. Other hardware requirements for XNA Game Studio 4.0 are identical to those for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.

Also, I've noticed some confusion out there, so please note that this involved a Transportation Security Inspector, (TSI) not a Transportation Security Officer. (TSO)
Here's what we posted on our website.
On August 19 a Transportation Security Inspector (TSI) was conducting a routine compliance inspection on aircraft parked on the airfield at Chicago's O'Hare Airport (ORD). The TSI inspected nine American Eagle aircraft to look for and test, among other things, access vulnerabilities or areas were someone with ill intent could gain access to the aircraft.
Aircraft operators are required to secure each aircraft when left unattended. The TSIs are encouraged to look for and follow through on vulnerabilities. During the inspection process at ORD the Inspector used a Total Air Temperature (TAT) probe – a probe that protrudes from the side of the aircraft that is used to measure outside air temperature – to pull himself up while investigating possible access vulnerabilities with the unattended aircraft.
The Inspector was following through on regulatory inspection activity. The Inspector was able to gain access to the interior of seven of the nine aircraft inspected, which is an apparent violation of the airline's security program. TSA is reviewing the inspection results and depending on the conclusion, could take action with the airline, up to and including levying of civil penalties.
While the inspection process is a vital layer of aviation security, it is not TSA's intent to cause delays or potential damage to aircraft as a result of our inspections. TSA took immediate steps to re-enforce education about sensitive equipment located on the exterior of a plane.
- TSA has 1,465 Transportation Security Inspectors at almost 150 airports that can cover all modes of transportation.
- 535 in air cargo (including 85 dedicated canine teams)
- 755 in aviation
- 175 in surface transportation modes)

Fiscal Wake Up Tour. See below for more details.
The Concord Coalition believes that only with an engaged, informed and demanding public can the nation's fiscal challenges be met. The Fiscal Wake-Up Tour's mission is to cut through the usual partisan rhetoric and stimulate a more realistic public dialogue on what we want our nation's future to look like, along with the required trade-offs. We believe that elected leaders in Washington know there is a problem, but they are unlikely to act unless forced to by their constituents. The Tour began as a series of public forums around the country and now, in addition to those forums, we are organizing in-depth local committees to further focus attention on our nation's daunting long-term fiscal challenges.

About Your Rosemary Topiary
A tasteful way to grace an entryway or patio, this hand crafted topiary provides fresh rosemary springs for all fish and poultry lovers in a formal, decorative style! Hand trained for several seasons, the blue/ pink blooms occur in late winter/ early spring. The trimmings can be used in the kitchen for their flavor throughout the year.
Light Exposure
A bright, airy location that is not too cold will keep the plant looking its best during the winter. In the northern states, bright direct light is ideal. Outdoors provides the best environment but a bright window could suffice as well. Rosemary like the sun. Check that the heat of the afternoon doesn't dry them out too quickly.
Water and Fertilizer
Provide water when dry to the touch. Rosemary begin active growth again in March. Once the danger of frost has passed, it can be planted in the ground or potted into a larger container so that it doesn't dry out too quickly. Applications of a balanced fertilizer once/ month during the growing season, (April- September), moisture during hot spells, will encourage the plant to thrive. Avoid long dry periods, watering the plant every 2-3 days in the summer, depending on the severity of the summer heat in your area and once per week through the spring and fall.
Rosemary will flower on the past seasons' wood, therefore, if the plant grows tall during the growing season prune back the long shoots to also encourage a thicker canopy and maintain the rounded shape. This will help to form branchlets and thicken the canopy rather than favor tall shoots. This will also keep the plant to scale with the container. Every two years, prune 1/3 of the existing rootball in late winter and re-pot with fresh soil if growing in a container that is small enough to move.
Dormant Period
Rosemary will not lose their leaves during the winter but will stop growing. This should help the plant to require less water than during the summer months but don't allow the plant to dry out completely. Rosemary can withstand some cold, (no lower than 30 degrees for a few hours), but the roots shouldn't be allowed to freeze too severely, no lower than 33 degrees or so.

Nikon 1 V2 versus Sony model
Nikon 1 V2 versus Olympus model
Nikon 1 V2 versus Panasonic model
Nikon 1 V2 versus Canon model
Nikon 1 V2 versus rival model with similar score
Try our side-by-side camera comparison tool
Further readings for the Nikon 1 V2
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
After the initial interest surrounding the original Nikon 1 V1 and the somewhat lackluster follow-up to that in the form of the Nikon 1 V2, the firm has introduced, arguably, the most exciting looking and capable model yet, the Nikon 1 V3. Read on to find out how this reimagined model performs.
Bearing a striking resemblance to the firm's hugely popular mirrorless OM-D E-M5 the Stylus 1 is in fact a high-end digital compact camera complete with EVF and a high speed constant aperture 28-300mm equivalent zoom. Is it enough to compete with rival offerings and reclaim some of the market share taken by camera-phones? Read on to find out how well it performs.
After the initial euphoria of the Nikon 1 V1 it's probably true to say subsequent models failed to capture the imagination in quite the same way. Now with the introduction of the waterproof AW1 Nikon has cleverly won back interest in the system. Read on to find out how this super-compact and submersible model performs.
Panasonic's Lumix DMC-G6 is the update to last year's DMC-G5 MFT camera, the firm's $750 mid-range EVF equipped model sitting above the entry-level finder-less DMC-GF6 yet beneath the mighty video-maker's favorite DMC-GH3. The new camera features a 16-Mpix Live MOS sensor as well as a new Venus processing engine, but just how well does it perform in our labs?
Nikon's new Coolpix P330 is a classy 'compact camera'. It's very average when it comes to mundane things like size and weight but it performs better than many much more expensive cameras and has a list of features that covers pretty much everything you might need.
Launched in January 2013 the Nikon 1 S1 is a new product line in the Nikon 1 Hybrid Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens series. Targeted at advanced through to expert enthusiasts after a lightweight camera for photography daytrips and holidays the Nikon 1 S1 features a clean minimalistic design. Utilizing a smaller sensor and lower resolution than most of the Hybrid competition though how will it fare in the DxOMark Sensor Scores?
Released just a month after being announced at CES 2013 alongside a new lower-end sibling (the Nikon 1 S1), the new Nikon 1 J3 now takes its place as the midrange model in Nikon's lineup of interchangeable lens compact cameras, with a list price of $599.95 (with a 10-30mm kit lens). The J3 is an update to the Nikon 1 J2, which came out only five months prior to the announcement of the J3 and S1 and had been the camera maker's lower-end offering.
DxO Optics Pro v8.1.2 supports the Canon EOS 6D*, the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-RX1*, and the Nikon 1 V2. Since the previous version, nearly 300 new camera/lens combinations have been added to the DxO Optics Modules library, thus surpassing the symbolic milestone of 10,000 available Optics Modules.
Launched in October 2012, the Nikon 1 V2 is a not unexpected update to the Nikon 1 V1, which debuted in September 2011. The Nikon 1 Series cameras are hybrid cameras with interchangeable lenses. In the case of the V1 and V2, they fall at the upper end of the segment, offering more features and a higher performance level than their more consumer oriented brethren, the Nikon 1 J1 and J2.
In the Nikon 1 line of digital compacts with interchangeable lenses, the V2 brings some nice new features: shooting at 60 i/s, Full HD video recording in 60p, different modes for slow motion, and … a new 1-inch, 14.2-megapixel, 6400 ISO CMOS sensor that we can hardly wait to test! But while we wait for its appearance on the market, here's all the skinny on the Nikon 1 V2.
Added by noirist | August 21 , 2013
Does the 1 have a market?
The V2 with FT1 mount adapter and high burst rate seems like an attractive proposition for Nikon owners until you look into the details. The FT1 is limited to center point single servo AF, which makes it nearly useless for moving subjects. So you'll have to use native Nikon 1 glass for any kind of action photography, and those lenses are large, heavy, and low in optical quality versus their M43rd competitors. And the DxO tests show that anyone shooting a D800 or even a D5200 will be painfully disappointed by the image quality coming out of their V2. The only photographers that would benefit from Nikon 1 are those upgrading from a camera phone. And then they would be better served by other cameras, including the M43rds system or even the Sony RX100.
Added by mike162 | January 30 , 2013
Nikon 1 V2: Evolution, stasis or regression?
The review misses the whole point of this camera. The V2 has a huge attraction, by using the FT-1 Mount Adapter it is possible to mount pretty much any Nikon DSLR lens. Taking into account the dslr like autofocus and the X2.7 crop factor the excellent Nikon AF-S VR 70-300 f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED (around £330) becomes a 190-810mm lens, just great for birds and wildlife.
The lens, FT-1 and camera would weigh around 1100gr and cost $1300ish (but will come down). An APS-C camera with similar spec would weigh close to 5000gr & cost $9000ish. Sure, its a fact that the resolution of the APC-S camera would be superior, but would it be 3900gr & $7700 superior?

You gotta' give Nikon credit; it's a dead-end product, but they are doubling down, which is commendable service to those who bought into the system.

Re: Gotta' give them credit
I usually don't feed the trolls, but how a camera with solid IQ, and blazing fast AF, and a huge buffer (capable of 12 fps with the J1 and 16 fps with the V1) a dead-end?
So Nikon with it's first try made a camera with a smaller sensor that is competitive with many larger sensor cameras like the EP3, and absolutely demolishes the competition when it comes to processing data, fps, PDAF on the sensor, etc.
The Nikon 1 sounds alive and well to me. Few will lose sleep over it over your dislike of the Nikon 1 and tons of people will continue to buy it. Nice try though.

I replied to your previous post.
Thank you again for condescending to me. It really helps your case.

Re: Gotta' give them credit
Aaron, your post is clearly a troll. Have you ever used a 1? I shot the Pikes Peak Hill Climb this year with a V1 and a D700. In some ways the V1 is faster, and the results fabulous.
Really, a dead-end product. Not for those willing to look past the idiots trashing a camera they have not used.

In the financial industry, an organization's reputation and its ability to maintain the security of personal or payment information are crucial to customers. Do you continually identify and control risks to customer information and systems using policies and procedures that assess risks, control access, test for failures/breaches, oversee service providers, and periodically review, update, and report to both internal boards and external regulators? Are you aware of the myths that can put your clients at risk? Those are two tough questions.
Download the following list of top security myths for financial institutions to avoid as they strive to better manage both security and regulatory compliance efforts.

Cheap Medium Format System
Posted 04 November 2003 - 02:02 PM
I'm "researching" e.g. looking to buy a cheap medium format system. I'm guessing that this should consist of: camera / lens / film back / grip / WLF.
So far I've narrowed down my choice to the Bronica ETRS/ETRSi or the Mamiya 645. Any info on these two makes and the various models would be appreciated.
Posted 04 November 2003 - 05:08 PM
The Bronica ETRS/Si is a superb system, as is the Mamiya. accessories for the ETRS/Si are more readily available s/h, but that's mainly because more were made and are now being sold s/h as people move to digital.
I went for the Broni as the kit I got came as a complete system for £1400, however, have a look at www.ffordes.co.uk as they have complete units (often without grip) for around £450.
I don't know too much about the Mamiya, but you have chosen the exact two that I was considering when I got mine. IFRC have a look at your own (old) forum, I think there were links to comparison pages in there. I'll have a look on Ephoto as well as I know there are some there.
Alternatively, if you just want to "try" the MF experience, why not consider a Seagull TLR (or similar)camera? They are (I think) copies of Rollei units made in China. Still 645 negs (much better than 35mm), and I've heard of them selling for as little as £60 s/h on ebay.

I would suggest the Seconic that Jessops are flogging for around £160 as a good starter unit.

I'll stop now

Have you been on here all day?!
I'd like to add a medium format camera to my kit-bag just because of the negative size. I've had a couple of requests lately for enlargements up to 1.5m square! Files from my 10D have to be resized by about 3-4 times to achive those enlargement sizes.
I had a play with a Bronica ETRS in Jacobs on Saturday - it was quite refreshing to use something so basic!
Posted 04 November 2003 - 06:31 PM
Seriously, I know what you mean.
and yes, on and off I've been either here or Ephotozine all day
Posted 04 November 2003 - 06:47 PM
And then I remembered that I had to focus the damn thing as well!
No wonder you have to take more care over your photos with a medium format camera!
Posted 05 November 2003 - 08:02 AM
So many times I forget to either focus or set the aperture or shutter speed. I will remember two of the three and then forget the third.
Or, I've forgotten to change the Film speed on the lightmeter.
I'm also guilty of setting the lightmeter correctly, getting a reading, setting the shot, getting interrupted, re-doing the lightmeter reading and then forgetting to reset the camera.
Thank god that print film is so forgiving!
I've only done one roll of slide, and only got 6 useable exposures from it.
All that said, I still love it, and the results speak for themselves!

Perhaps you should write a checklist for yourself Collin!!!
Posted 05 November 2003 - 04:21 PM
Perhaps I should go buy that 10d...

Anyhow, between the Bronica & the Mamiya, I would choose the Bronica. I see more used bodies, backs, and lenses for it AND most importantly, the Bronica uses Leaf Shutter lenses, which allows you to sync your flash up to 1/500sec vs Mamiya's 1/125 sec. This is a HUGE deal if you plan on using fill flash outdoors. It allows you to open up the aperture by 2 stops, allowing less depth of field and better outdoor portaits.
Both are great cameras, but I'd give the nod to the Bronica.
If you want new, and can live with the slow flash sync of the Mamiya's then the Mamiya 645E isn't a bad deal at the prices it is at - even if it doesn't have interchangeable backs or prisms.
