General Description
Of the three North American weasels (Genus Mustela), the Short-tailed Weasel is intermediate in size. Males are distinctly larger than females of the same age. During summer the fur is dark brown with white (not buff) under-parts, white feet, and white along the inside of the hind legs. The tip of the tail is black. Molts to entirely white during winter, except for the black on the tip of the tail. Total length: seven to 13 inches. Weight: one to six ounces.

Diagnostic Characteristics
Long-tailed Weasel is larger and tail its is longer. Least Weasel is smaller, has a short tail, and lacks a black tip on the tail. American Mink are larger with a uniform color.

Relative Density

(Observations spanning multiple months or years are excluded from time charts)

Inhabits brushy or wooded areas, usually not far from water. Tends to avoid dense forests. Prefers areas with high densities of small mammals. Most abundant in ecotones. Mostly nocturnal but will hunt during the day. Active throughout the year. Dens in ground burrows, under stumps, rock piles, or old buildings. In Montana, apparently prone to montane forest associations. Elsewhere occupies a diverse range of habitats. Nests in hollow trees, rock piles or burrows.

Ecological Systems Associated with this Species
  • Details on Creation and Suggested Uses and Limitations
    How Associations Were Made
    We associated the use and habitat quality (common or occasional) of each of the 82 ecological systems mapped in Montana for vertebrate animal species that regularly breed, overwinter, or migrate through the state by:
    1. Using personal observations and reviewing literature that summarize the breeding, overwintering, or migratory habitat requirements of each species (Dobkin 1992, Hart et al. 1998, Hutto and Young 1999, Maxell 2000, Foresman 2012, Adams 2003, and Werner et al. 2004);
    2. Evaluating structural characteristics and distribution of each ecological system relative to the species' range and habitat requirements;
    3. Examining the observation records for each species in the state-wide point observation database associated with each ecological system;
    4. Calculating the percentage of observations associated with each ecological system relative to the percent of Montana covered by each ecological system to get a measure of "observations versus availability of habitat".
    Species that breed in Montana were only evaluated for breeding habitat use, species that only overwinter in Montana were only evaluated for overwintering habitat use, and species that only migrate through Montana were only evaluated for migratory habitat use.  In general, species were listed as associated with an ecological system if structural characteristics of used habitat documented in the literature were present in the ecological system or large numbers of point observations were associated with the ecological system.  However, species were not listed as associated with an ecological system if there was no support in the literature for use of structural characteristics in an ecological system, even if point observations were associated with that system.  Common versus occasional association with an ecological system was assigned based on the degree to which the structural characteristics of an ecological system matched the preferred structural habitat characteristics for each species as represented in scientific literature.  The percentage of observations associated with each ecological system relative to the percent of Montana covered by each ecological system was also used to guide assignment of common versus occasional association.  If you have any questions or comments on species associations with ecological systems, please contact the Montana Natural Heritage Program's Senior Zoologist.

    Suggested Uses and Limitations
    Species associations with ecological systems should be used to generate potential lists of species that may occupy broader landscapes for the purposes of landscape-level planning.  These potential lists of species should not be used in place of documented occurrences of species (this information can be requested at: or systematic surveys for species and evaluations of habitat at a local site level by trained biologists.  Users of this information should be aware that the land cover data used to generate species associations is based on imagery from the late 1990s and early 2000s and was only intended to be used at broader landscape scales.  Land cover mapping accuracy is particularly problematic when the systems occur as small patches or where the land cover types have been altered over the past decade.  Thus, particular caution should be used when using the associations in assessments of smaller areas (e.g., evaluations of public land survey sections).  Finally, although a species may be associated with a particular ecological system within its known geographic range, portions of that ecological system may occur outside of the species' known geographic range.

Food Habits
Short-tailed Weasels prey on a variety of small mammals and birds, they specialize in hunting voles. Mostly small warm-blooded vertebrates, primarily cricetidae. Hunts under snow in winter. Females generally eat smaller prey. May use invertebrates. Short-tailed Weasels will kill larger prey such rabbits.

As in many mustelids, two degrees sexual dimorphism is pronounced. Males 30% larger than females. Local distribution and densities probably tied to prey availability. Well adapted to snowy environments.

Reproductive Characteristics
Breeds during summer (June to July); 8.5- to 10-month gestation; delayed implantation; young born April or May; one litter per year of four to 13 young. Induced ovulation. 8.5 to 9 months delay of implantation. Females first breed at 2.5 months. Males at 14 months.

My Thoughts on: Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019)

(author’s note: I’m BACK everyone!!)

2019 will definitely be remembered as a time of endings in cinema. Not only did this year see the 11 year Infinity Saga come to an end with Avengers: Endgame, it also saw the Skywalker Saga come to a close with the release of Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker.

And what an ending it is! This is a movie that I’ve been looking forward to for two years and after the teaser trailer revealed that the Emperor would be returning (a moment that completely blew my mind I assure you), I was more eager than ever to see how the final installment would play out. And while my many theories all proved to be woefully incorrect, that didn’t change the fact that I loved this film. Don’t let the critics turn you off from seeing The Rise of Skywalker, it IS a good story and a great conclusion…provided you go in with a completely open mind as to how the story can end.

Now, I will admit that The Rise of Skywalker isn’t a perfect film by any means. Could the film have done better in explaining how the Emperor returned? Yes, it could’ve. Could a certain plot point with a certain First Order spy (name withheld because spoilers) have been expanded upon? Oh most definitely. And could we have had a lot more Force ghosts? Yup, no doubt. But really these are minor nitpicks and not gaping plot holes. Of course no movie is going to be completely perfect, and I wish people would remember that more often.

One thing this film gets completely right is its treatment of Carrie Fisher’s final appearance. As you’ve probably heard, all of her footage (minus one scene) was taken from deleted footage created for Episode VII. I wasn’t sure what that would look like going in but it works. It doesn’t feel awkward, but it does make certain scenes very emotional when you remember that Carrie isn’t here anymore. Well done to J.J Abrams and company for getting this right.

The lightsaber battles were everything I hoped for and more. My favorite is the fight between Rey and Kylo Ren among the ruins of the second Death Star. It’s full of such raw emotion, as all the fights in the sequel trilogy have been, and the ending of this particular fight had me in tears. I have to say that it will be hard not seeing Adam Driver in Star Wars movies anymore (note: I’m not spoiling anything, Driver has said he’s moved on from the character), he’s quickly become one of my favorite parts of the sequel trilogy, and his style of lightsaber combat is a lot of fun to watch. I will admit I didn’t see his character arc going where it did, but Abrams did a really good job with it, so I’m okay with it too.

Another thing I liked about The Rise of Skywalker are the many surprises littered throughout the film. Some you’ll know about from the previews, and some you will not see coming. Of course there is one BIG spoiler that is likely dividing fans as I write this, but I for one am okay with it, even though it did torpedo my “Rey is a Skywalker clone” theory into oblivion. If you take a moment and think about it, this particular reveal is entirely plausible, and it does make a lot more sense than some of the theories I heard. Also, on a random note: D-O is my new favorite Star Wars droid.

And it wouldn’t be a Star Wars review if I didn’t take a minute to talk about the music. For one final time, John Williams knocks it out of the park with a fantastic score that ties everything together. Since this is the final entry in the Skywalker Saga, there are a lot of musical callbacks, especially to the original trilogy. There isn’t nearly as much prequel trilogy music as I would’ve liked, but it’s also entirely possible that Williams tried to incorporate some of those themes and it just didn’t work out.

I will close by stating again that The Rise of Skywalker is a good film and a good conclusion to the nine film saga. Having rewatched Episodes I-VIII before seeing this film, I can say that this film fits in perfectly with all the rest. I’m still a little sad that there won’t be any further adventures with Rey or Poe or Finn, but at least now I can go back and watch the complete saga whenever I want. Bravo to everyone who worked over the last 42 years to bring not only The Rise of Skywalker, but all the Star Wars saga films to life.

Let me know what you think about The Rise of Skywalker in the comments below (keep it civil please) and have a great day! I’m happy to be back blogging once more!

Columbia Banking System, Inc. Earnings Missed Analyst Estimates: Here's What Analysts Are Forecasting Now

  • Oops!

  • Oops!
    Something went wrong.
    Please try again later.

Last week, you might have seen that Columbia Banking System, Inc. (NASDAQ:COLB) released its first-quarter result to the market. The early response was not positive, with shares down 2.6% to US$24.31 in the past week. Statutory earnings per share fell badly short of expectations, coming in at US$0.20, some 59% below analyst forecasts, although revenues were okay, approximately in line with analyst estimates at US$144m. Following the result, the analysts have updated their earnings model, and it would be good to know whether they think there's been a strong change in the company's prospects, or if it's business as usual. With this in mind, we've gathered the latest statutory forecasts to see what the analysts are expecting for next year.

Check out our latest analysis for Columbia Banking System

NasdaqGS:COLB Past and Future Earnings May 3rd 2020
NasdaqGS:COLB Past and Future Earnings May 3rd 2020

Taking into account the latest results, the most recent consensus for Columbia Banking System from five analysts is for revenues of US$560.6m in 2020 which, if met, would be a reasonable 2.9% increase on its sales over the past 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are expected to dive 25% to US$1.70 in the same period. Before this earnings report, the analysts had been forecasting revenues of US$579.1m and earnings per share (EPS) of US$2.06 in 2020. The analysts seem less optimistic after the recent results, reducing their sales forecasts and making a real cut to earnings per share numbers.

The consensus price target fell 7.9% to US$32.00, with the weaker earnings outlook clearly leading valuation estimates. There's another way to think about price targets though, and that's to look at the range of price targets put forward by analysts, because a wide range of estimates could suggest a diverse view on possible outcomes for the business. Currently, the most bullish analyst values Columbia Banking System at US$37.00 per share, while the most bearish prices it at US$29.00. This is a very narrow spread of estimates, implying either that Columbia Banking System is an easy company to value, or - more likely - the analysts are relying heavily on some key assumptions.

These estimates are interesting, but it can be useful to paint some more broad strokes when seeing how forecasts compare, both to the Columbia Banking System's past performance and to peers in the same industry. We would highlight that Columbia Banking System's revenue growth is expected to slow, with forecast 2.9% increase next year well below the historical 9.7%p.a. growth over the last five years. Juxtapose this against the other companies in the industry with analyst coverage, which are forecast to grow their revenues (in aggregate) 2.8% next year. Factoring in the forecast slowdown in growth, it looks like Columbia Banking System is forecast to grow at about the same rate as the wider industry.

The Bottom Line

The most important thing to take away is that the analysts downgraded their earnings per share estimates, showing that there has been a clear decline in sentiment following these results. Sadly, they also downgraded their sales forecasts, but the business is still expected to grow at roughly the same rate as the industry itself. The consensus price target fell measurably, with the analysts seemingly not reassured by the latest results, leading to a lower estimate of Columbia Banking System's future valuation.

With that in mind, we wouldn't be too quick to come to a conclusion on Columbia Banking System. Long-term earnings power is much more important than next year's profits. We have estimates - from multiple Columbia Banking System analysts - going out to 2021, and you can see them free on our platform here.

Institution Football News plus Selecting

Certainly one of the most used games in the United States today is known as American football, which includes its origins in college football. Many students follow the most recent college football news and take part in college football polls. Many likewise take part in try outs for an opportunity to play in college teams.

The goal is always to score points by getting the ball in to the opposing team’s court, or end zone. The team who this gets a touchdown, that will be worth 6 points. Following a touchdown, the team is afforded the opportunity to kick the ball through the target posts to have an extra point ปกตลาดลูกหนัง. However, they also have the option of hoping to get the ball in to the opponent’s end zone again with a running or passing play instead of kicking the ball. If this works, they get two more points rather than one. This choice is a lot harder, of course.

An area goal may be worth is worth 3 points.

The football field measures 100 yards in total and 160 feet in width. The center of the field is known as the 50 yard line. The lines are marked every 10 yards in descending order in both directions from the 50 yard line. Each team has half of the field, (switching sides every 15 minutes of play. The “zero yard line” is also called the target line. The areas on each side are called the end zones. Both teams endeavor to have the ball beyond the opponent’s goal line and into the end zone to score a touchdown. Located at far edge of every end zone are the target posts. They are used whenever a team decides to kick an area goal instead of going for a touchdown, or choose for an extra point after scoring said touchdown. Unlike international football (soccer), the ball needs to go over the bar in order to produce a valid score.

Fans routinely keep track on college football news regarding a common teams and look up college football polls. The Internet has shown to be an important and indispensable venue for both fans and players to change informative data on college football news and college football polls. D1Athletes offers them a location to create an online presence and interact in online communities.

The Russian government has offered to “run” cryptologie in Crimea

Given the status and position of the Peninsula, experts from the Association of developers and users of blockchain technology and products created on its basis, (RAKIB) in the Republic of Crimea offer to try the new technology right there .

This February 20 at the parliamentary hearings of the state Duma of the Russian Federation on the development of the digital economy in Russia, said the representative of the Association of Viktoriya Bilan:

“We look forward to introducing to the state Duma a draft law on digital assets, crowdfunding. In General, we support their content, understand the conservatism of the Bank of Russia (CBR) regarding the legalization of the appeal of crypto-currencies, but believe that using the status of Crimea as a special economic zone and given that the Peninsula is investment in cross-border blockade, it would be possible to “run” cryptologie within Crimean jurisdiction to test a new phenomenon. We are ready to provide all possible help in this matter.”

Russian Association of cryptocurrency and blockchain (RAKIB) introduced February 20, a road map with implementation plan and development of the state project “Crypto-Crimea”, concerning the digitization of the Peninsula, as well as to attract private investment in local projects through ICO. The project will be implemented through the creation of a centre for the development of blockchain technology. The working group should agree on the format of participation of the Crimea in the program of digitalization of the Russian economy as advanced pilot courts — “regulatory sandboxing”, as well as to formulate proposals on the organization of a special legal regime for FINTECH entrepreneurs who are interested in attracting direct private investment in the economy of the Crimea on the basis of the blockchain technology.

We will remind that on 25 January, the Ministry of Finance of Russia published the draft law “On digital of financial assets”, which regulates their production and circulation. The bill, in particular, defines the tokens that are produced to attract funding, and establishes the procedure for ICO, and defines and establishes the legal status of cryptocurrencies and their mining. However, the use of crypto-currencies as means of payment in territory of the Russian Federation is not supposed.

Australian Neobank Xinja Bank Launches Series D Investment Round

via Crowdfund Insider

Xinja Bank, an Australia-based neobank, announced on Wednesday it has launched its Series D investment round to attract more sophisticated investors, with a minimum of $20,400 to invest. The banking group, which now holds more than $300 million in deposits already, is looking to raise funds to continue building the lending side of its business, and regulatory capital.

Founded in 2017, Xinja claims it was designed for mobile – made for people. The company noted it’s time for Australians to have access to a banking experience built around their needs and interest

“Xinja was built from scratch to deliver better banking to customers. It uses the latest cloud-based banking technology. It has no costly, old-style IT to patch, no expensive bricks and mortar branches to run, and a tight team of Xinja-workers who help deliver the kind of banking Australians deserve: lower lending rates, higher savings rates and technology that helps them get the most from their money.”

Speaking about the banking platform’s development, Xinja Bank Founder and Chief Executive, Eric Wilson, stated:

“People expect seamless technology in almost everything they do daily: from ordering food, to booking holidays or a ride home. Xinja is in that category. We have built a bank from scratch, where the technology is intuitive and fun, and that offers a better way to bank.”

Xinja added it has raised about $70 million in total, from Australian and offshore investors through Series A, B, C and the first 40% of Series D, which also includes two equity crowdfunding rounds, held in January 2018 (claimed Australia’s first-ever equity crowdfund) and January 2019. Xinja still holds the record for the most raised from equity crowdfunding in Australia.

Respect thy farmer, animal, and land.

Our Farming Practices

We do not inherit the land from our ancestors, we are borrowing it from our children. We have been given a great charge…to be stewards of the land, appreciate, and better the land and care for the animals on it. We live, work, and dream together. We want to share with you the livelihood that means so much to us. By keeping life simple and maintaining the integrity that a family farm offers we are passing down beliefs and values through generations.

We have transitioned cropland back to pasture. Creating a diverse selection of grasses and forages that our cattle graze. Renewing the land to its natural, optimal state has translated to increased wellness for our cattle and ultimately, our customers.

We either raise our cattle here on the farm for their entire lives or we purchase them from another local farmer at 6 months of age to finish on our land. We have also partnered with another local farmer who raises and finishes our pastured hogs for us, using practices that closely align with our own. Even as demand for our beef and pork grows, we will never sacrifice the transparency and care that we put into growing our cattle and hogs.

Our laying hens and pastured meat birds are raised on our lush Wisonsin pastures. Always having access to sunshine, clean air, water, and a plethora of bugs and forages to choose from. Laying hens freely roam our pastures, while meat birds are moved to fresh grass daily. Nutrient dense and delicious poultry and eggs can only come from happy and healthy chickens!

Our cattle and hogs are never given hormones and are antibiotic free. To achieve the superior marbling and flavor we strive for, we provide a ration of bailage, mineral, and steam flaked barley or spent grain. We responsibly source our spent grain from a local partner, Karben4 Brewery, combining animal husbandry and recycling.

 We believe in building a sustainable operation that cultivates quality and fosters connection.

We feel that we have been called to steward this land and the animals we raise, so we strive to practice the tenets of regenerative agriculture and animal husbandry in everything we do. Our goal is to raise the highest quality meat and farm fresh eggs to nourish our customers and their families while putting more into the land and our community than we take out.

I need some advice regaurding resistance bands. I am thinking of buying one of them (and only one probably). I want it to develop muscles. I am not able to perform bodyweight exercises properly as my muscles are weak (which is why I am thinking of buying a resistance band to develop them). I need advice regaurding what type (light ,medium or heavy) band I should buy. I dont want it to be too easy. I dont have access to free weights nor to gyms. I have seen some videos on resistance band exercises and it seems to be effective. Does anybody have any opinion/experience otherwise? Please help. Also which lenght resistance band will be ideal for me? I am 5 feet 5 inches and weight is about 60 kg.

  • Thank you . I have read that question and answers too but they weren't too useful – abhijeetbodas2001 Oct 30 '15 at 15:22

    Without knowing details of your strength level or level of fitness, I would say that your best bet is to go to a sports equipment store and ask to try some out, see what band seems to give you a good workout without being too easy or too hard. Which bodyweight exercises have you tried? What muscles are you targeting? – Sean Duggan Oct 30 '15 at 17:20
  • I want to strengthen my upper ams thighs chest and stomach muscles. I have tried push ups(I can go halfway down) and pullups (in vain). – abhijeetbodas2001 Oct 31 '15 at 4:24

Resistance bands can be a good way to strengthen your muscles when you are not strong enough to support your bodyweight in exercise.

The strength of the resistance band should allow you to be able to complete the motion. If the band is too strong, you may not be able to complete the motion as you near the end of the range. If the band is not strong enough, you will likely break it.

Generally, it is best to have more than one resistance level to accommodate the different upper and body exercises that you want to do. You will use the weaker band for weaker muscle groups. When you outgrow an easier resistance band, upgrade to a heavier band. As the heavier band becomes too easy you can combine bands for additional resistance.

Bands are color coded to represent different weights or resistance levels. They are often designated with a range of weight such as 5-8# or 12-16# to help you decide depending on the muscle groups you are targeting. Detachable handles and door straps for attachments are helpful. (Our site has more information on resistance levels if you are interested.)

As @Sean suggests, if you have no idea what resistance levels are right for you, try some out at your local sporting goods store. Find which ones give you the greatest versatility for both your upper and lower body.

Fluoride Action Network

EDITORIAL: Water solution comes at a price

Source: Geelong Advertiser | June 20th, 2007
Location: Australia

It should come as no surprise that residents will foot the bill for the massive statewide water infrastructure upgrade announced by the State Government yesterday.

Such major capital investment comes with a hefty cost and all must share the burden.

For Geelong, it means our water supply will be guaranteed in the future via a $80m pipeline connecting us to Melbourne’s water supply, which will in turn be topped up by a new desalination plant located in Wonthaggi.

For Geelong residents, it will mean the cost of water supplied by Barwon Water will likely double over the next four years.

Given that most responsible residents have employed new, sustainable water conservation practices in recent months and have adjusted to severe drought conditions, it is unlikely there will be much outcry about the increased water bills.

In fact the drought has made many realise just how valuable a resource our water is – and many might now agree that if anything it has been underpriced in the past.

Most bill payers should be strongly encouraged to look towards further conservation rather than fret too much about the increased cost of what we once wrongly thought was an inexhaustible resource.

Rather, more controversy is likely to surround the fact that fluoride will now be part of Geelong’s water supply for the first time.

Melbourne’s water supply is fluoridated and has been for more than 25 years, but Geelong’s fluoridation plant was never commissioned after union member refused to pull the switch.

Once the pipe between the two cities is completed some of that fluoride, in a diluted form, will filter through to Geelong.

It is not the same as fluoridating Geelong’s water supply but it is not far from it.

At the very least, it certainly opens the opportunity for future full fluoridation in Geelong.

The arguments for and against fluoridation have been played out ad nauseum over the years with clear and reasonable arguments on both sides (along with the unavoidable hyperbole and scare campaigns).

Now, though, is the time for the anti-fluoride lobby to accept that these watered-down levels of fluoride in our water will exist and will continue into the future.

For many people it’s not an ideal situation but it has to be far better than the possible alternative of the region running dry.

We’d much rather have a long-term guaranteed water supply with some fluoride rather than continued uncertainty over the sustainability of a fully non-fluoridated supply.
