(Also I came to kinda care about the characters, even though the narrative seemed almost ludicrously hellbent on torturing them so it felt kinda pointless to have any emotions about ‘em.)Īnd oddly, there are a lot of other similarities between the shows too? Both are adaptations of manga that was made around the 80s that have been updated so they’re set in the modern day, both seem to try really hard to be “shocking” but it’s just sort of exhausting at times and both have queer content that draws in the fandom, though that content is a mixed bag. For both shows, there were a lot of times I didn’t really enjoy watching it in the traditional sense and I often felt pretty uncomfortable with it…but still found it really interesting from a media analysis standpoint, and found the conversation about it really interesting, so I kept watching. My experience watching it was similar to the one I had watching Devilman Crybaby of all things. Y’know, when I was thinking about how to approach reviewing Banana Fish, I had a weird realization. Warning for a lot of discussion of how fiction engages with csa and rape in general.) My mixed feelings took a lot of explaining, it turns out. I tried to be fair but honest, so I want people to respect that.

![]() Lastly, a very effective way that wolves protect themselves is through their growling. Read Also: Do Wolves have Webbed Feet? 6. Not only are they durable, but also cunning. Wolves are also very good at concealing themselves in the wild, as they are capable of determining where the wind is blowing, which gives them the ability to hide their smells and stop them from reaching other animals in the wild they’re looking to prey on. ![]() It’s also one of the main reasons why wolves have such big territories and why other animals avoid it. ![]() ![]() Wolves are one of the best runners in the world.Īctually their preferred method of catching other animals is by boiling it down to a race – preferably over a long distance.Īnother outstanding defensive mechanism is their navigational skills, and pair that with the exceptional stamina, you get a powerful combination that enables wolves to travel several miles per day, making them incredibly tough to track down. It’s able to sniff out dangers from a big distance, allowing the wolf to avoid the dangers altogether. This combination of powerful senses is a big factor as to why they don’t get preyed on often. It can sense other animals from several miles away, which it can do with a combination of smelling and hearing.Ī wolf’s eyesight is not the best in the world, but it’s competent enough to also spot moving animals at much longer distances than the human eye can. The wolf’s senses are some of the strongest in the world. In the same way, they’re also able to spot potential dangers in the form of larger animals and enemy wolf packs from several miles away, allowing them to retreat to safety while there’s still time. One of the main reasons why wolves are such powerful and successful hunters is their ability to sniff out their prey from several miles away. However, a single bear will always beat a single wolf, because it’s much larger and stronger than the wolf. This makes them powerful enough to come up against some other larger species in the same habitat as the wolf. It’s much larger and stronger than most dog breeds, for comparison, and the larger stature allows the wolf to pack more meat and muscles on their bodies. And the wolf has it in abundance.ĭespite not looking like the most muscular and beefy animal in the wild, a wolf can be quite a strong animal to face in nature. When it comes to protection, there are not many things more important than brute strength of the animal. Read Also: Does Bear Spray work on Wolves? 3. They show their teeth to fend off other animals, and it’s often a very effective defensive mechanism that might steer other animals away from its territory. Now, that bite force is one of the strongest in nature only surpassed by a few other species.Īnd when they feel threatened, wolves tend to show off their teeth, which is a scary sight to behold. If we take a look at the top wolf defensive mechanism if they are by themselves, then the bite and the sharp teeth enable it to fend off potential attackers.Ī large wolf can bite with the force of up to 1200 PSI if it finds itself in danger, which is several times stronger than the bite of the largest dog breeds. Related Article: 5 Amazing Wolf Hunting and Survival Tactics 2. That’s why wolves are one of the most feared species in the world. And when they are threatened by other animals, they will have to rely on the pack and its members to protect it. When wolves hunt larger animals, they have to do it as a pack. The role of the alphas and other adult males is to take close care of their younglings – which means protecting them in danger and providing food for them and the rest of the pack. Wolf packs consist of the alpha male and the alpha female (which is the partner of the alpha male), their offspring, and other members of the pack (sometimes called beta wolves). There’s a reason why wolves don’t get preyed on often, and that’s because wolf packs are almost impossible to beat, even by larger animals. The wolf social structure and strong hierarchy is one of the main reasons why wolves are so high on the predatory list and also why they are apex predators. These are some of the most widely used defensive mechanisms that wolves use to protect themselves. Conclusion Top Defensive Mechanisms of Wolves It would be interesting to understand the effect of this choice by doing more experiments and comparing the two options. The good LDA model will be trained over 50 iterations and the bad one for 1 iteration. 'Optimizing semantic coherence in topic models.' In Proceedings of the Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (pp. M., Talley, E., Leenders, M., & McCallum, A. However, in human word association, high frequency words are more likely to be used as response words than low frequency words. We propose a way of improving topic coherence score by restricting the training corpus to that of relevant information in the document in the context of job. We will be using the umass and cv coherence for two different LDA models: a 'good' and a 'bad' LDA model. A vector of topic coherence scores with length equal to the number of topics in the fitted model References. P(w | \text)$, how much a common word triggers a rarer word. The three prototypes for junk topics are the uniform word-distribution, the empirical corpus word-distribution, and the uniform document-distribution: Intrinsic methods that do not use any external source or task from the dataset, whereas extrinsic methods use the discovered topics for external tasks, such as information retrieval, or use external statistics to evaluate topics.Īs an early intrinsic method, define measures based on three prototypes of junk and insignificant topics. One can classify the methods addressing this problem into two categories. ![]() ![]() This is by itself a hard task as human judgment is not clearly defined for example, two experts can disagree on the usefulness of a topic. Human judgment not being correlated to perplexity (or likelihood of unseen documents) is the motivation for more work trying to model the human judgment.

American chop suey originated earlier than 1916 and macaroni was used in numerous recipes much earlier than the 1960s. My own research though indicates the above isn't accurate. More recent recipes simplify the service by dropping the rice and mixing in cooked macaroni, but they tend to restore some amount of soy sauce unless using Italian tomato sauce." Others add that macaroni didn't replace rice until around the 1960s. The army recipe could be made with either beef round or pork shoulder, beef stock, barbecue sauce, and salt." It then continues, " All these early recipes leave out soy sauce but suggest serving the stew over rice. That book states: " A likely origin for American chop suey is the recipe for Chop Suey Stew in the 1916 Manual for Army Cooks, an urtext for many institutional foods of the twentieth century. Many of the articles you'll find on the origins of American chop suey use The Oxford Companion to American Food and Drinkas a main source. The Bismarck Tribune (ND), August 28, 1920 " It was a terrible accident when John Brown Jr, of Richmond, Va., shopped off his little finger on his left hand when making American Chop-suey." chow chop suey, which is a pungent and palatable conception of chicken livers and gizzards, fungi, bamboo buds, bean sprouts, water chestnuts and all manner of savory spices stewed together." And in the Los Angeles Herald (CA), June 29, 1904, there is a reference that the chief ingredient of chop suey sauce was pigeon's blood and that the 39 ingredients in this dish included " rice sprouts, onions, chicken discard, chopped pork and punk." For example, in the Inyo Independent (CA), January 23, 1891, it mentioned: ". Some of the initial chop suey recipes served in California included the use of viscera, being more true to the original intent of the Chinese term. The actual origin though isn't relevant to the questions I've posed so I won't delve further into that issue. There is some evidence that the dish may have origins in China, especially the county of Taishan in the Guangdong Province where most of the early Chinese immigrants originated. Many of the legends claim it was invented in the U.S., one even alleging it was created by a housewife in New York City. The origins of chop suey are murky, and a few different legends have arose as to its invention. In general, chop suey became a dish of meat and vegetables in a brown sauce. Let's begin a little analysis of the term " chop suey." The Chinese words for "chop suey" literally translates as " different pieces" and, in China, it is commonly used to refer to animal " entrails and giblets." In the U.S., "chop suey" became more to refer to a type of " hash" or " odds and ends," and didn't always include entrails and giblets. What is the actual origin of American chop suey? How and why did it change from the Chinese version? Is it actually a regional New England dish? However, after reading a recent article on the history of this dish, which was short on its actual history, questions came to my mind and this time I wanted some answers. It's name seemed odd to me but I didn't question it much. I ate and enjoyed plenty of this hearty dish, which was considered inexpensive and easy to prepare. The basics of this dish included ground beef, macaroni and tomato sauce, with some variation of other ingredients, such as the addition of onions, peppers, or even Worcestershire sauce. Jump forward now almost one hundred years.

Role of Accounting in Business and its importanceĪccounting provides clarity in business that helps make the right decisions based on expenses, tax liabilities and cash flow. Let’s first understand the role of accounting in a business, to whom it applies, and find out the benefits of good accounting practices that follow these three golden accounting rules. To understand these rules, we need to take them individually and in the proper context. Rule 3 - Debit all expenses and losses and credit all incomes and gains Rule 2 - Debit what comes in, credit what goes out Rule 1 - Debit the receiver, credit the giver It also requires keeping the accounts updated with the most current transaction updated, reflecting an accurate picture of an institution's current financial condition. ![]() That, in simple terms, translates to the recording of financial transactions systematically to keep a record of the transactions.
