Breeding success and foraging ranges of blue penguins from Motuara Island/Marlborough Sounds and Oamaru/North Otago were examined during the breeding season 2000/2001. We examined 64 nests on Motuara Island and 87 nests at Oamaru. Breeding success parameters and chick growth were determined. Breeding success differed significantly between sites. Oamaru penguins raised 1.44 fledged chicks per pair compared with 0.71 on Motuara Island. Breeding failure on Motuara Island was generally related to chick starvation and nest desertions by adults, whereas at Oamaru, predation was the main mortality factor. Differences between the two sites were directly related to adult foraging strategies. We used VHF-telemetry to determine foraging routes and ranges of penguins equipped with streamlined transmitter packs. On Motuara Island we tracked penguins on 11 one-day-trips and five partial long-term trips (>2 days). At Oamaru penguins were tracked on 16 one-day trips and four longterm trips. Differences in foraging patterns between the populations were apparent. Motuara penguins rarely left the Queen Charlotte Sound on one-daytrips, stayed close to the Island (mean foraging range <6 km). Birds leaving the Sound on longterm trips generally stayed away for at least 2 days. Some adults undertook long-term trips during chick rearing. The main factors influencing the foraging behaviour of Motuara Island penguins seemed to be time dependent variations in prey availability and foraging restrictions by topographic features of Queen Charlotte Sound.

The distribution of prey for penguins is often a result of physical oceonographic processes. This is particularily so for penguin species breeding in isolated oceanic areas like sub-Antarctic islands. Snares penguins are primarily planktivorous foragers that find their food in a pelagic environment where prey distribution is a product of currents and frontal systems. During the incubating phase of breeding, Snares penguins have been found to forage at the Subtropical Front which is located some 200 km east of the Snares. However, after the chicks have hatched the penguins' foraging ranges are restricted by nesting duties so that the penguins must find food closer to the island. A possible destination could be to the north of the Snares where a warm current transports nutrient-rich and productive water east towards the Subtropical Front. We examined the foraging and diving behaviour of female Snares penguins during the chick-guard stage using GPS dive loggers and combined geographical and dive data for spatial analysis. The results show a strong correlation of dive behaviour and sea surface temperature and underline the importance of warm water of sub-tropical origin for chick rearing Snares penguins.

Of the world’s 18 extant penguin species six species live and breed in New Zealand. Four of these are Eudyptes species, namely the Fiordland (E. pachyrhynchus), Snares (E. robustus), Erect-crested (E. sclateri) and Southern Rockhopper penguins (E. chrysocome); the former three species and the Yellow-eyed penguin (Megadyptes antipodes) are all endemic to New Zealand. With exception of the Snares penguin, the populations of all these species are believed to have undergone significant declines in the past decades. In comparison with most other penguin species world-wide, New Zealand penguins – particularly those breeding on the remote sub-Antarctic islands – have received little scientific attention which hampered interpretation of determined and assumed population trends. However, in recent years a handful of studies have started to gather first information on the marine ecology of various species and provide us with some insights of potential factors driving population developments. For the Yellow-eyed penguin on the mainland a picture emerges which puts anthropogenic alterations of the marine habitat at the forefront of factors negatively affecting population developments in recent years. Rockhopper and Erect-crested penguins struggle with decreasing oceanic productivity in the sub-Antarctic region. This, however, seems to be of lesser concern for Snares and (presumably) Fiordland penguins that breed in subtropical water closer to the NZ mainland. In the light of increasing selective pressure as a result of anthropogenic influences in the marine environment (e.g. fisheries interactions, habitat alteration, climate change) behavioural flexibility and adaptability seem to be the key for success for penguins in New Zealand.
Snares crested penguins are aggressive birds. While aggression during the early breeding season are often a result of competition for nest sites and mates (e.g. male-male fights) other forms of aggression observed during later stages of breeding are not as easy to comprehend (e.g. random attacks on incubating females). Although the majority of agonistic behaviour occurs in the colonies (intra-colonial aggression) there are also regular cases of extra-colonial aggression that can be described as “beach bullying” or “forest ambushing”. After clutch completion, the number of aggressive events is low as long as the majority of male penguins are still present at their nests. After most of the males have left their incubating partners to forage, the number of attacks directed towards single females increases markedly. During such attacks, single males or pairs attack an incubating female with at times severe pecks and flipper beating – often for no obvious reasons. The incubating females generally do not fight back but assume a defensive position to protect their clutch. Although attacks often have no severe consequences some assaults result in egg loss or nest abandonment. With the return of the males, the rate of aggression recedes in the colonies. Instead single aggressive birds are now increasingly observable at the penguin landing and along the forest paths to the colonies randomly attacking returning females. During the breeding season 2003 we recorded aggressive behaviour in a Snares large penguin colony of approximately 1200 nest. The data show, that an equal number of attacks were staged by breeding and non-breeding birds. However, the severity and duration of the attacks were higher if the aggressor was a non-breeder. Furthermore, breeders often conducted short attacks to steal nest material, whereas attacks by non-breeders had generally no visible outcome. In most cases, the attacked females often got off lightly with loss of nest material at the worst. Nevertheless we found that assaults contribute significantly to egg loss. The lack of obvious gain for the aggressor makes it hard to explain attacks from an ecological viewpoint. In any case, such patterns of aggression have consequences for the Snares penguins’ general breeding behaviour.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

2. Overview
► Introduction
► Study areas
► Foraging Ranges (revisited)
► Diving Behaviour
► Summary
► Acknowledgments
3. Introduction
► Foraging behaviour during early chick rearing
Birds have to return at regular intervals to feed small chicks:
Blue penguins generally return after 1 day at sea
Foraging behaviour depends primarily on foraging success
Poor foraging success can be compensated by:
► longer foraging trips (ie. greater travel distance)
► increased dive performance (ie. more dives per trip)
Environment dictates which compensation method is used

6. Foraging ranges during chick rearing
► MOTUARA ISLAND
During ONE DAY TRIPS birds generally stayed within 9 km of the island
Birds leaving Queen Charlotte Sound performed LONG TERM TRIPS (>2d)
► OAMARU
No LONG TERM TRIPS observed during chick rearing
Maximum distance from colony on ONE DAY TRIPS: 5 km to 30 km
Foraging restricted by
topography and maximum distance
8. Measuring diving behaviour
• Time-Depth Recorder (TDR) attached
to penguin‘s lower back
• TDR records dive depth (via pressure
transducer) at pre-defined time intervals
• After recovery of device, recorded
data is downloaded to computer
• Raw data is converted to dive profiles
for entire foraging trips
• Special software analyzes every
diving event for maximum dive
depth, dive duration, dive type etc.

9. Diving behaviour - simplified
► Shallow foraging:
LOW DIVE FREQUENCY: 700-800 dives per day
SHALLOW (TRAVELLING) DIVES: ca. 2.5 m to 5 m
LONG-RANGE TRIPS (<30 km)?
10. Diving behaviour - simplified
► Deep foraging:
HIGH DIVE FREQUENCY: 1000-1200 dives per day
DEEP (FORAGING) DIVES: ca. 5 to 35 m
SHORT-RANGE TRIPS (<15 km)?

• Greater dive efforts at Motuara Island (longer dives at any time of the day)
• Better foraging performance at Oamaru (longer dives at greater depths)
• High metabolic costs for 20% of the dives at Motuara Island, but only

9% of the dives at Oamaru (Aerobic Dive Limit reached or exceeded)
16. Summary
► MOTUARA ISLAND:
Foraging range during chick rearing restricted by topography
Foraging efforts can only be extended vertically (ie. deeper dives)
High dive efforts (high dive activity)
Foraging success come at high metablic costs (ie. many deep dives)
► OAMARU:
Penguins face no environmental foraging restriction
Foraging efforts can be extended vertically and/or horizontally (ie. greater
distance travelled)
Low dive efforts
Foraging success comes at lower metabolic costs (ie. mainly shallow dives)
