Unfortunately, when the females mature and lay their eggs they stop eating and devote their life to aerating and caring for their eggs. Our little arctic octopus live a long life, up to 6 years. Every night when the lights went out and we all went home, she would squeeze out of her tank and flop herself across the floor to the lobster tank, squeeze through the top and have herself a feast! They had quite a time trying to octopus proof her tank. At the aquarium, Rosy was in a tank on the same gallery as the American lobsters. ![]() The octopus can squeeze through any small space if it can fit its beak through. It looks exactly like a bird beak and can be just as destructive, crushing the exoskeleton of crustaceans. Although octopus are soft and gelatinous, they do have one hard piece to their body and that is a beak located in the middle of the intersection of their tentacles on their head. Rosy was a character she really did love a lobster dinner. We all just want to be left alone at times. Always pay attention to an animal before interacting with it and give them their privacy. Meanwhile, her skin turned red and lumpy a sign that she was irritated with all of us! We were soaking wet and laughing. Then just as quickly she let go of our hands and whisked away into her cave. Very quietly she wound her tentacles gently over our hands and quickly grabbed us tight, so we could not pull away, and used her siphon to cover us with gallons of water. The volunteers all put their hands on the surface of the water while I continued to talk about her behavior. She came up and rolled a tentacle over my hand. There were seven of us around her tank and I was showing them how I could tap the water gently and she would come up to see what was going on. One evening after hours, I was conducting a training course for the volunteers with Rosy, the Aquarium’s Pacific octopus. While an undergraduate, I worked at the New England Aquarium in their education department. I have personal knowledge about just how cunning an octopus can be. This leads me to believe that some octopus are probably as intelligent as dogs or cats. ![]() When a crab is placed in a glass jar with a screw lid and put into a tank with an octopus, the octopus will eventually figure out how to unscrew the lid and eat the crab.

'One of the reasons why I got into the race was because of these pro-criminal laws that have been getting passed out of Albany,' he added. I'm over 18 months into this race, campaigning all throughout this entire state,' Zeldin said earlier this month. Polls show the Arizona governor's race as among the most competitive on the ballot this year Seizing on the troubling wave, Zeldin promised to fire Manhattan's District Attorney Alvin Bragg immediately upon entering office.īragg has been widely criticized for his lax attitude towards crime. Miringoff also said 'any shift in crime' is likely to benefit Zeldin as the race comes to a close - and New York City has seen a surge this year.

If this does not solve the problem, use the procedure described in “To reinstall” to reinstall the driver.” “ Cannot select/use the UM-3G device" … "Could the UM-3G be in use by other software?Įxit all applications that are using the UM-3G, and disconnect/reconnect the USB cable of the UM-3G. About multiclient ability, no definitive answer, but the driver “UM-3G Driver Ver.1.0.0 for Windows® 7 32-bit Edition” Readme file says: Roland UM3G (x3): unfortunately, no good news.

It also performs well on large SysEx transfers (tested with MIDITest) but of course it only has 2 ports I have however used two devices together to get a total of 4 ports, but I don’t know how many more can be used simultaneously. The E-MU Xmidi 2x2 is one device that is class-compliant, but if you load the Windows drivers it gets a proper “name” and becomes multi-client. Yes some years ago I tried MIDITest on the amt8, serial conection went very well, USB a little less well, so I ended up using serial connection.Ĭomparative overwiev on that page is really outdate now, It would be great if someone could try MIDI test on Win 7 and some currently available MIDI interfaces. It would be great if someone with one on Windows 7 would be so kind as to test it with MIDITest and let us know how it performs On Windows these devices all show up as “USB Audio Device” which makes it a pain to manange if you’ve got more than one.Īfter all that I have to say I don’t own any of these devices although I’m thinking about the MOTU MIDI Express XT. ![]() The downside is that class-compliant devices are not multi-client under Windows, but that’s Microsoft’s fault and not the fault of the device. The MOTU 8x8s seems to be the only real game in town at the moment but there’s a simpler device by ESI (the M8U XL) which has the advantage of being “class-compliant”, meaning it will work without any 3rd-party drivers on Mac, Windows and Linux. Have a read of the section “DirectMusic and SysEx” for an explanation. Limited lifetime warranty.I think more important is how a MIDI interface handles SysEx at Windows level, and the only diagnostic tool I know of that will highlight this is MIDITest.

Meanwhile, there is something going on with the Great Mother's elephant herd called Strider. Nut, a bully, tries to stop him, but ends up stopping Mud instead.
