Real nerds can identify this pattern in the blink of an eye




















The local newspaper seemingly had two obsessions in the late s: the gambling fortunes of Biff Tannen, and goings-on in Soviet Russia. Interestingly, the sequence shown onscreen is actually edited, featuring a slightly different close-up angle of Clint and an altered sequence of shots compared to the actual movie.

When Marty returns to confront Biff, the first thing Biff asks is how he got past the security downstairs especially notable compared with the last time Marty approached from the ground. As Marty follows Biff to the Enchantment dance, we get the first of several bits of footage that would go on to cause an almighty stink — and, ultimately, would result in the creation of a new default clause in Screen Actors Guild agreements.

Not actually a real magazine, this time — although amazingly, some Back To The Future fans have managed to track down the two actual French magazines from which its cover and pages are composited. While the Back To The Future sequels started life as a single script Paradox which included both the and plots, they became two separate films early in the production process.

Unsurprisingly, there are some clever references in the movies advertised here — the two posters seen as Marty emerges in his Western outfit are both releases. Even with that bad Irish accent she does. Dub Taylor was most known for playing a sidekick character called Cannonball, and here appears wearing his famed bowler hat. Harry Carey Jr. The idea of the fridge was dropped when the concern was raised that kids might copy the film and get locked inside those old-style heavy refrigerators — but the fact that the Doc eventually builds an ersatz one in seems like a little nod to the Back To The Future that might have been.

Two nice little background nods here — firstly, in advance of her first actual appearance in the story narrowly avoiding being driven into Shonash Ravine , Mary Steenburgen as Clara Clayton can actually be seen standing waiting to be picked up as Marty and the Doc look at the map of the very ravine that will later in the original timeline, at least bear her name. The sequence in which Marty awakes the morning after the town festival is of course a deliberate mirror not just of the opening of the first film — with its pan across from a clock to an elaborate automated machine the Doc has invented to perform an everyday task — but of the beginning of the third, too.

I mean, look, this is Den of Geek. Or that the latter is yet another Clint Eastwood reference? Although not named as such, he bears a clear visual resemblance to Joseph Glidden, the businessman who really did patent barbed wire in the s and became one of the richest men in America as a result. Of course, Buford crashing head-first into the manure is an obvious reference to similar things happening to Biff in the first two films.

Let us know if you have further questions at feederwatch cornell. I live in Murfreesboro Tennessee. I have a female House Finch with at least 1 eye completely closed. She comes to the feeder every day. I am concerned of it spreading to other birds. We have had a large number of finches at our bird feeders since the beginning of summer. In the last two days we have discovered 3 finches with affected eyes. We immediately took down the feeders and emptied the bird bath. Our location is just northeast of Columbus, Ohio.

It is heartbreaking to see these poor birds because we know their fate. House Finches have dominated a large tube feeder that I put out this spring first house, first bird feeder. I noticed a blind male displaying an appearance and behavior similar to what has been noted in other posts. I noticed at least 2 other birds with similar appearance but not as worse off. This is just a few days after I found a dead finch nearby the feeder. I am making a connection in my head, but admittedly did not investigate the appearance of that bird closely.

All in all, I started to freak out about what could be causing this, and I am very glad to have found the information needed — thanks again. Also, I am not sure if it is possible for a bird to have avian conjunctivitis and avian pox, but one did have a moderate-sized lump on the base of her beak. Located in Indianapolis, IN. I had never heard of this until I found a finch just sitting on my stairs out front, blinded from eyes sealed shut. I am in Charlottesville, VA.

Trying to keep him fed and watered and safe and hope that he gets through this? Thank you for this web site and information. We have large population of House Finch and Lesser Goldfinch visiting our feeders. We have observed infected birds more often as summer progressed. Now starting to notice dead birds in yard when never observed before. Have removed feeders and now cleaning as recommended. Any future sightings of diseased birds and we will follow recommendation to remove feeders for one week to disperse population.

Location Anaheim Hills California. I just found this from searching the symptoms of the male finch that was found on my windowsill. We brought it inside and cleaned it up. We thought it had been assaulted by a predator, now we know better. He was very thirsty, drank from my hand. I hope he survives and is not blinded. One eye is worse than the other, so maybe he has a chance. I am not giving up on trying to find some treatment to help this little guy.

Oh, and I forgot to mention… this bird is located on Southeast Arkansas Monticello. October 5 I live in Florence, KY, and I started noticing house finches with eye problems around August this summer. The first finch which aroused my curiosity had what appeared to be seed chaff stuck around the eye turned outward from the feeder.

I was able to approach the finch and see up close how red and swollen was the eye and that what I thought was seed chaff was actually some kind of crusty growth around the eye. I was able to get within a foot of the finch, examine it, and retreat without startling it, so I presume the finch was blind in that eye.

Since then I have observed a number of finches with bad eyes and symptoms such as repeatedly shaking their heads, rubbing their eyes on whatever is handy, sitting in oblivion in various places ground, window sill, etc. I have found two dead finches with bad eyes; and I recently found a finch with no outward symptoms of eye disease which may have flown into a window and fallen to the concrete below.

After a couple minutes, it died in my hand. Yesterday I saw a little puffball of a finch sitting under my car. It paid little attention to me, and I was able to get within a foot of it. It had its head turned back, buried in its feathers; and its little downy chest was heaving, like it was having trouble breathing.

I figured it was sick, so I left it alone. A while later, it was gone. Now I know what is going on. A few miles away, in Erlanger, KY, there is a poultry farm where both chickens and turkeys are raised.

I suspect this could be the local source for the disease. One other note, a couple weeks ago while visiting the grocery store, I saw what was either a sparrow or a finch which was pure white — an albino! Hi Jeff, Though House Finch eye disease did originate from a pathogen found in poultry, that chicken would need to have the strain that mutated in a way that allowed it to cross species.

In any case, it is highly unlikely that your neighbors chicken is a source of disease for the House Finches, even more so if it does not appear to have symptoms. The eye disease is spread from coming into close contact with other birds that have the infection, such as using the same port hole on a feeder as an infected bird.

I cleaned my three feeders a couple weeks ago. How often must they be cleaned? I would think they would become contaminated as soon as they are back in use after cleaning. Do the birds become infected by brushing up against the material plastic, wood, etc.

Would it be better to have ported feeders with wider trays into which the seed falls? Would it be better if the ports were set at a greater distance above the trays? Would it would be better to not have ported bird feeders at all, e. Does anyone know of an optimum style of bird feeder which would minimize or eliminate infection by contact with the feeder itself? Thank you! Waukesha, WI.

And currently have one at my feeder now. I live in Fort Payne, Alabama. This week I found a house finch by my feeders and it has Mycoplasma gallisepticum eye disease. Last year I had literally over 50 gold finch that I found dead or dying in my yard from some sort of respiratory disease.

I called so many organizations and no one could help me or seemed to be concerned with the issue. In the past two weeks I have found 2 dead goldfinch. I hope that this disease is not continuing. Does anyone know which organization might be interested in knowing about this. Our best advice would be to talk to your local Dept.

Fish and Wildlife Service. Prevention is the best way to help stop the spread of disease. I have a male purple finch with mycoplasma conjunctivitis in one eye.

He has been treated with antibiotics and released. I have been feeding birds for many years and watch the birds daily. I have never seen this problem before. I live in NW Alabama. I have just witnessed a male cardinal in our fly-thru feeder with large yellow crusty circles around each eye. Both eyes are affected and his beak seems to have some damage also. The eyes are still open but the crust is very evident against his red coloring.

I leave in West Central Wisconsin. We have been feeding birds for many years and this is the first time I have seen something like this. He can still eat and flies away, only to return each morning and evening. The female cardinal that travels with him does not appear to have the condition. I have found over 20 finches affected. I have removed my feeders will the disease go away or will they continue to die it is affecting every kind of finches.

Hi Cheryl, Removing feeders helps the sick birds to disperse, so that they do not come in contact with other birds and spread the disease. Keeping them down will not prevent the spread of disease entirely, but it will take away a possible location where the disease is being spread. However, if you keep seeing these sick birds, we recommend cleaning your feeders on a weekly basis with a bleach solution, being sure to scrub away any debris that has accumulated.

This help prevent he spread of disease. You can also try providing food that is not preferred by the affected species — take a look at our Common Feeder Birds tool to see what kinds of food attract each species. If you have any additional questions, please email us at feederwatch cornell. A female house finch was around the yard all winter, usually by herself. Odd behavior, quiet, slow, kind of a loner, but eating and drinking.

A few days ago, I spotted her in the back yard rather than front yard. I was able to get within inches, and I noticed her eyes looked problematic. She tried to vocalize but it was very weak. It was brutal, and she made it through that. Googled eye diseases in wild birds, came upon this information. We definitely have a female house finch with this eye problem, confirmed.

Breaks my heart. Thanks for the information and steps we can take to help prevent the spread. Burnsville, Minnesota. I just caught one on my sunflower seed feeder. She can now see out of one eye, but not the other. I was going to take her to the SPCA tomorrow to see if they can fix her eyes. Is there a cure for this? Hi Robin, Please contact your local wildlife rehabilitator for advice with this bird.

We also recommend cleaning your feeders by scrubbing all the debris off and soaking them in a bleach solution. More detailed information can be found on our Sick Birds and Bird Diseases webpage. I have just noticed 3 house finches with the disease.

This is in Burbank, California. Cleaning the feeder area and discontinuing feeding for a couple weeks. The feeding area is in southeastern Dinwiddie County Virginia. The feeding area has about 7 tube feeders and 5 suet feeders. I have many birds mostly finches visiting daily. Sometimes well over a hundred in the feeding area and in the adjacent trees.

I have seen many house finches and gold finches with this condition, living and dead. I have noticed this issue in previous years, but not to the extent that I am now. I will endeavor to sanitize the feeding area soon and keep it cleaner than I have in the past. Thank you very much for the information. I found a male house finch with conjunctivitis in both eyes. I put him in a cardboard box with a cloth. I will sanitize the feeders tomorrow and clean underneath the feeders..

Thanks for the information on how we can try to prevent this disease from spreading. Davis California. We have one house finch at our feeder with this eye disease. We are in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. We first noticed the issue because the bird who has the disease seemed to have no fear of us and did not fly away when we approached. In fact, it startled me when I walked by the feeder within inches and the bird was still there. Is there someone in Colorado we should notify? Hi Kathy, The best thing to do when you see a sick bird is to clean your feeders with a bleach solution.

We have a lot of helpful tips and information on our Sick Birds and Bird Diseases webpage. Regardless, keeping your feeders and your feeder area clean is the best way to prevent the disease from spreading. I am currently providing hospice care to a blind house finch in Pasadena CA. I have been caring for this bird for over a month Since March 15 and the eyes have increased in crustiness at least 4 X from when it was found.

I saw another infected bird in my backyard last week that was still flying and trying to navigate but it was obvious it was having trouble seeing. I called the Audobon society to see if they were tracking numbers and locations of these sick birds and the person I spoke to was not aware of any studies. Hi Carolynne, It may be a good idea to contact your local certified wildlife rehabilitator for further advice, as they and wildlife veterinarians are the only people legally allowed to treat wild birds.

The best thing you can do at your home is to clean your feeders weekly-biweekly, making sure to scrub all debris from the feeders and then soaking them in a bleach solution.

This helps prevent the spread of the disease. For more information, check out our Sick Birds and Bird Diseases web page. As for tracking the disease, those who participate in FeederWatch are asked if they see eye disease in the finches reported to have come to their feeders each week during the winter. There are no current studies that I am aware of using this information, but it has been used in the past and will likely be used again in the future. About one month ago, a neighbor posted that she saw two house finches with conjunctivitis.

One week later I noticed a finch with crusty eyes. I took the feeder down cleaned it with a bleach solution and rehung it one week later. Should I remove the feeder permanently?

I am in the San Francisco Bay Area. Permanent removal would prevent them from congregating in your yard where disease is often spread yes, but they do congregate naturally, and there are likely other feeders nearby that they may be visiting as well, so taking them down periodically when the sick birds are seen should help prevent the spread of disease while still allowing you to keep the feeder up. In November, , I counted 19 finches several types visiting our backyard feeder.

I noticed that 2 of them had a crusty, closed eye. I took down the feeder, disinfected it with bleach and re-hung it in February So far only 3 house finches have appeared and one of them has the eye virus. I disinfect the feeder every day before putting it out on a daily basis.

I have no plans to permantely remove it. Now there are none. For the last 6 years, I have had numerous families of House Finch red nesting in the eaves under the front of my house roof, a generous overhang. The first couple of years I saw one or two nests at any time. This year I have 6.

When I put seed out, I attract the attention of squirrels and this year fat aggressive squirrels have raided the slight blue eggs. I also had a duck so, no more feeding for me.

My finches have bright clear eyes and it is only this evening reading this that I am aware there is a terrible disease afflicting these tiny creatures. Heart twisting. I have become quite used to their song. In the back of the house we have doves, chickadees, titmouse, and in the very back, squirrels.

In general, I plant for pollinators and birds, without pesticides. The finches do eat seeds and blossoms from certain plants. Hi Jay Bear, House Finches are not cavity-nesters, and so will not nest in bird houses. Feel free to visit our sister project, NestWatch , to learn more about House Finches and other common nesting birds. As for eye-disease, the best way to prevent the spread of disease is by cleaning your feeders, however, taking them down is similarly effective.

If you decide to put them back up at any point, we recommend following the best practices for cleaning bird feeders. Fairly definite eye disease right eye since winter — now mid-May — female house finch. Blind in rt eye. George Utah. I live in Hershey, Nebraska and this year, I have found several finches who are unable to fly any distance and that appear to be blind with swollen and matted eyes. To date, we have found 4 finches who have all died.

I doubt he will survive. I had no idea about cleaning the feeder but will do that as soon as possible. Thank you for your information regarding this disease. We found a young female finch sitting on the feeder at 3pm and it was still there at 11pm.

We did not know anything was wrong with its eyes as the feeders are high on the ceiling of our porch, to protect the birds from predators and to keep the feed dry. She was there throughout the night but we did not want to risk her flying and our not being able to see where she went so we waited until a.

The back of her head had an open wound, from one side of her skull to the other that looked to be days old. Her eyes were heavily encrusted, red and badly swollen and when I applied Vetericyn to clean the crust away, pus oozed from one of her eyes. I took her to a vet that is a bird rehabber and she identified the problem as Mycoplasma and took her into care. The bird was a decent weight and was obviously flighted. Never seen one before. Then as I was surfing for more info I came across this site.

He looks quite healthy and today we even chirped back and forth with each other. Happy little guy. Oldsmar, Florida Tampa Bay Area. I live in Oakland, and seen one finch with bulging eyes. Oh my.

And I just noticed a flock of finches here. Light red heads on some. And some light brown. And more that can see but you can tell their eyes are irritated and in pain. They let me walk right up to them. Poor hearts. Kills me to me to see them like this. Quick question does anyone know if this is contagious for dogs?

I know the birds tend to use the water dishes for the dogs. Hi Jessica, The symptoms sound like your birds might have House Finch eye disease, which has not been found to affect more than a handful of bird species, much less dogs. However, birds can carry other diseases that are transmittable to humans and dogs, such as Salmonellosis. You can learn more about how best to clean your feeders on our web page. I have a sticky infected left eye House Finch sitting in my feeder for long periods over past few days eating or just resting.

I had noticed a decline over the last few years and this spring saw a finch with only one eye. I looked into it and learned about the finch eye disease. I fear the disease has taken a huge toll on the finch population her, but still hope to see a house finch or two visit my feeders. We have a window bird feeder suction cups attach it to the window at my office in Ames, Iowa.

This summer a house finch had swollen eyes and seemed to not be able to see well. An employee went outside and was able to get very close to the bird before it haphazardly flew off. It seems content to stay perched on the rim of the bird feeder for long periods of time during the day.

It stayed right in the birdfeeder cage and I left it so it got nutrition. Still have plenty of house finches that come, as well as other birds. I live in Parker, Colorado. But if you're still interested in this strategy, read on to learn how day trading works and the ways you can help minimize its risks. Day trading is the practice of buying and selling stocks in a short time frame, typically a day. The goal is to earn a tiny profit on each trade and then compound those gains over time.

In practice, however, retail investors have a hard time making money through day trading. The study examined trades over a year period, from to The very small number who do make money consistently devote their days to the practice, and it becomes a full-time job, not merely hasty trading done between business meetings or at lunch. Make regular investments into the account and let the power of growing businesses lead your portfolio to long-term gains.

Read more about other stock-trading strategies. It's not as exciting as day trading, but it's far more likely to grow your wealth over the long term. However, if day trading is something you must try, learn as much as you can about the strategy first.

Volatility is the name of the day-trading game. Day traders rely heavily on stock or market fluctuations to earn their profits. They like stocks that bounce around a lot throughout the day, whatever the cause: a good or bad earnings report, positive or negative news, or just general market sentiment. They might trade the same stock many times in a day, buying it one time and then short-selling it the next, taking advantage of changing sentiment. Same rules apply, but the other way around.

Limited time offer. Terms apply. The Securities and Exchange Commission makes it clear: Day trading is not investing. Investing involves a fundamental analysis of stocks to determine good long-term prospects. The sensitivity of the filter means it does not remove blinks.

The use of a clapper-board enabled the recordings to be played back in-sync after adjusting start times appropriately. When a participant blinked, this was included in the preceding code. Our methods also allowed us to quantify the extent and timing of mutual faze gaze i.

In general, videos were played back frame-by-frame, but for some participants with less variable gaze movements the video could be played back faster. For each conversation, each participant was coded separately, however the ability to watch simultaneous video playback from both participants using INTERACT was useful for coding purposes.

This is because playing the two video recordings synchronously side by side allows identification of off-face gaze behaviour that is difficult to determine otherwise. This is because off-face glances can at times fall outside the tracking capability of the glasses. When this occurred, the dual video footage allowed the coder to determine where the large off gaze was directed e.

Large sidelong glances were clearly visible when looking at the video footage being played back from the point of view of the conversational partner. All eye gaze pattern visualizations are provided in online supplement document section- 2. A visualization of eye gaze patterns. The small red circle represents attentional focus as captured by the Tobii glasses. Note that this snapshot of conversation represents an instance of mutual eye contact between the two participants.

The Participant images shown are used with permission granted by the participants. Using Tobii Pro Analyzer software the head movement of participants was accounted for in the heatmap images. The two blue patterns at the bottom of the image represent periods of mutual face gaze, and mutual eye contact, respectively.

The full 4-minute representation of gaze patterns are provided in the online supplemental document section- 2. We also coded all interactions for speaking and listening turns. Therefore, speaking turns specifically represent verbal acts of questioning or self-disclosure. Inter-rater reliability was assessed by a separate independent person coding the full 4-minute conversation eye gaze patterns of the participants D1 and I1 that are shown in Fig.
