A close eye on the eagle-eyed visual acuity hypothesis of autism
No full textAutism spectrum disorders (ASD) have been associated with sensory hypersensitivity. A recent study reported visual acuity (VA) in ASD in the region reported for birds of prey. The validity of the results was subsequently doubted. This study examined VA in 34 individuals with ASD, 16 with schizophrenia (SCH), and 26 typically developing (TYP). Participants with ASD did not show higher VA than those with SCH and TYP. There were no substantial correlations of VA with clinical severity in ASD or SCH. This study could not confirm the eagle-eyed acuity hypothesis of ASD, or find evidence for a connection of VA and clinical phenotypes. Research needs to further address the origins and circumstances associated with altered sensory or perceptual processing in ASD

‘It’s Spiritual Man’: Eddie the Eagle (2016) and English Amateurism.
No full textThe theme of amateurism has been persistent throughout the history of the British biopic, evidenced in films including Scott of the Antarctic (1948), The Magic Box (1951) and The Flying Scotsman (2006). Eddie the Eagle (2016), a film about ski-jumper Eddie ‘the Eagle’ Edwards and his preparation for the 1988 Winter Olympics where he finished 73rd out of 73 competitors, exemplifies how fascination with the amateur continues in contemporary biopic production. However, Eddie the Eagle represents the amateur ethos within a particularly unstable period for organised sports. The integrity of the Olympics and organised sports in general has been undermined by persistent corruption which centres on hosting rights, bribery, and the use of performance-enhancing drugs by competitors. This article traces the genealogy of the amateur in British biopics, before considering the wider context in which Eddie the Eagle was produced. It then employs textual analysis of key sequences to illuminate the film’s representation of amateurism and how it is constructed through oppositions: the value of amateurism against professionalism and the struggle of the outsider against the sporting Establishment. It suggests that Eddie the Eagle continues a theme at the heart of various British biopics, namely, the integrity of the amateur, the value of taking part and ‘doing one’s best’, at a time when the integrity of organised sport is increasingly under threat

Investigating the decline of the Martial Eagle (Polemaetus bellicosus) in South Africa
No full textThe Martial Eagle (Polemaetus bellicosus) is an African endemic that occurs over a wide range of habitats but at naturally low densities. There is concern throughout its range that it is declining and it now appears to be strongly reliant on protected areas. It is classified globally as Near Threatened by the IUCN with a current consultation underway to up-list it to Vulnerable or Endangered. In this project I describe and explore the decline of the species across South Africa, using data from two repeated national bird surveys - South African Bird Atlas Projects (SABAP 1: 1987-1993; SABAP 2: 2007-2012). These analyses suggest a relatively uniform decline across South Africa in Martial Eagle reporting rates of 59% over the last 20 years. Alarmingly, these declines also occurred in protected areas, including the traditional strongholds of the Kruger National Park (54% decline) and the Kalahari National Park (44% decline). Independent survey data, undertaken in the Kalahari National Park, confirmed these declines and reinforced the validity of using the two SABAP surveys to examine population change. Within protected areas, the species is still encountered five times more frequently and is six times as abundant as compared to outside protected areas. Between the biomes, the species is encountered the least and has the lowest abundance in the Grassland biome where tree density is low, and has the highest abundance in the Savanna biome where tree density is higher. Examining environmental correlates of these population changes provided some support for two hypotheses on the causes of these declines, with climate change (increases in temperature) and power line densities negatively associated with changes in reporting rates. Although this analysis also suggested support for declines being associated with avian prey declines, this was unlikely to be a major driver nationally, because I found that overall avian prey species actually increased over this time period. Within Kruger National Park changes in reporting rates were negatively associated with Elephant densities, which may be related to a reduction in nesting opportunities (large trees) for the species. These results are an initial attempt to assess the broad drivers of decline and should help focus and prioritize further detailed research to elucidate the mechanisms behind this species decline

Fay M. Jackson, July 1931, Los Angeles
No full textPhotograph of Fay M. Jackson, one of Los Angeles' poineer women journalists who worked in the city from 1928 until 1942. Jackson was drama, political, society and Sunday editor of the California Eagle and later the West Coast director of Associated Negro Press. She was also the first African-American journalist to serve as a foreign correspondant. Jackson sent this portrait to her boss, Eagle publisher Charlotta Bass, with the handwritten message "With affection and admiration to Mrs. Bass, July '31.
