The yellow stingray (Urobatis jamaicensis) is a species of stingray in the family Urotrygonidae, found in the tropical western Atlantic Ocean from North Carolina to Trinidad. This bottom-dwelling species inhabits sandy, muddy, or seagrass bottoms in shallow inshore waters, commonly near coral reefs. Reaching no more than 36 cm (14 in) across, the yellow stingray has a round pectoral fin disc and a short tail with a well-developed caudal fin. It has a highly variable but distinctive dorsal color pattern consisting of either light-on-dark or dark-on-light reticulations forming spots and blotches, and can rapidly change the tonality of this coloration to improve its camouflage. Relatively sedentary during the day, the yellow stingray feeds on small invertebrates and bony fishes. When hunting it may undulate its disc to uncover buried prey, or lift the front of its disc to form a "cave" attractive to shelter-seeking organisms. This species is aplacental viviparous, meaning that the developing embryos are sustained initially by yolk and later by histotroph ("uterine milk"). Females bear two litters of up to seven young per year in seagrass, following a gestation period of 5–6 months. Though innocuous towards humans, the yellow stingray can inflict a painful injury with its venomous tail spine. This species is taken as bycatch by commercial fisheries and collected for the aquarium trade; it may also be negatively affected by habitat degradation. Nevertheless, it remains common and widespread, which has led the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to list it under Least Concern.

Unleash the Power of Your Subwoofer! Are you tired of your car's wimpy sound system? Do you want to feel the music in your bones? Then it's time to upgrade to a subwoofer or position your current one right! A subwoofer is a speaker that's specifically designed to handle low-frequency sounds, such as bass. In this article, we'll show you how to position your subwoofer for getting the most out of your bass. Get ready to rock your world! See Our Blog On This: https://www.chrisdoeswhat.com/how-to-unleash-epic-bass-with-subwoofer-trunk-placement/ What is a Subwoofer, and Why Should You Care? A subwoofer is the key to getting that thumping bass that you feel in your chest. It's a speaker that's designed to handle the low-frequency sounds that other speakers can't reproduce. A good sub and proper placement can make a huge difference in the quality of your music, especially if you listen to genres like hip-hop, EDM, rock, or country. But be warned: a subwoofer can be loud enough to make your music more enjoyable! How to Choose the Perfect Subwoofer for Your Ride Choosing the right subwoofer can be overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. The first thing you need to consider is the size. Subwoofers come in different sizes, typically measured in inches. The most common sizes are 8", 10", 12", and 15". The size you choose will depend on the amount of space you have in your car and the level of bass you want. Keep in mind that bigger doesn't always mean better! Another factor to consider is the power handling. This is the amount of power that the subwoofer can handle without getting damaged. It's measured in watts RMS (root mean square) and should match the power output of your amplifier. You also want to look for a subwoofer with a low frequency response, meaning it can handle the lowest frequencies. Lastly, consider the type of enclosure you want, such as a sealed or ported box. The Art of Getting the Most Out of Your Bass Placement is key, to get the most out of your subwoofer. If you have seen our video with the Jeep subwoofer, we have the ports pointed toward the corners of the jeep body. Just like in your home, the closer the subwoofer is to a corner, the more bass reflect you get which equals more bass. In our car we have the subwoofer port in the corner giving us low smooth bass. Once you've installed your subwoofer, it's time to fine-tune your settings to get the most out of your bass. Start by adjusting the gain, which controls the volume of the subwoofer. You want to set it to a level that's loud enough to hear but not so loud that it distorts the sound. With a subwoofer mounted in a trunk this can destroy the speaker because you can't hear it. Next, adjust the low-pass filter, which limits the frequencies that the subwoofer can play. This will prevent it from playing sounds that it can't handle or sound you don't want it to produce.  Let's Get Pumped: Tips for Maximizing Your Sub's Potential Now that you've got your subwoofer set up, it's time to get pumped! Here are some tips for maximizing your sub's potential: - Play around with different genres of music to find the sweet spot for your subwoofer. - Turn up the volume gradually to avoid damaging your ears or your car's sound system. - Experiment with different EQ settings to fine-tune your sound. - Consider adding sound deadening material to your car's interior to reduce road noise and improve sound quality. - Be respectful of your neighbors and don't blast your music too loudly in residential areas. With these tips, you'll be well on your way to unleashing the power of your subwoofer and enjoying trunk-tastic bass like never before!

Day 1 of Audi Hamilton Race Week 2016 provided the first opportunity for Wild Oats XI and Scallywag to go head-to-head on an inshore race course. The two boats shadowed each other in the pre-race manoeuvres prior to the start of a race to Lindeman Island and back, starting in Dent Passage. Both boats made a fine spectacle as they reached to the northern tip of Dent Island before heading upwind to Lindeman Island. Dale Lorimer of Bow Caddy was on the water and recorded this brief cameo of the start line encounter between the two super maxis.
