WP & UK Birding Checklist (v. 1.6)

Duncan Watson опубликовал приложение 2012-04-27
(обновлено 2012-04-27)

Western Palearctic Birding Checklist (full version).
(Includes the UK)

This is one of a series of Birding Checklist applications for Android mobile phones and tablets.  There are demo and full versions of each checklist application, those currently available are:

Western Palearctic (includes UK) – 924 species and 1188 subspecies
US – 1040 species and 15 subspecies (does not include Mexico or Central America)
Australia – 892 species and 431 subspecies
NZ – 377 species and 63 subspecies
Norfolk Is (155 sp, 5 subsp) and Lord Howe Is (164 sp, 3 subsp)

These applications include basic bird identification information, but are NOT intended to replace a field guide.  It is expected that users will have good familiarity with the birds they are seeing, and will use this application for:

a. Logging bird sightings (with GPS co-ordinates if your phone has a GPS)
b. Optionally uploading your sightings to eBird
c. Maintaining your Lifelist

The list of features varies slightly between checklists, and the demo versions are less functional.  The demo versions have the following capability:
- complete listing of all bird species for the area
- searching and filtering the bird list
- statistics recording your personal lifelist
- current tick list (for birds you have seen today or during a field trip)
- display of bird photos and bird calls on the SD card linked to the application (these must be manually downloaded separately)
- logging facilities including GPS location (if your phone has a GPS) and optional fields for Heard, Photographed, Video'd, Taped and numbers of Male, Female, Juvenile or Dead birds found
- export log file in eBird Import format for rapid loading of your sightings to eBird
- help information for most screens

The full version has the following additional capabilities:
- faster operation
- more complete bird listing including subspecies
- better display of data from log files
- filtering of birds by region (for WP the regions are UK, Europe, Scandinavia, Balkans, Middle East, Eastern Europe, Iceland, North Africa, Cape Verde, Azores, Madeira, Canaries)
- Google map showing location of bird from GPS co-ordinates
- optional Rangemaps and extended bird description information (these must be downloaded manually and installed on the SD card, as for the photos and bird calls)
- play mp4 videos of birds stored in the photos folder on the SD card
- screen layouts for 1280 x 800 tablets
- plot GPS co-ordinates (eg of a bird location) on Google Maps
- Quick lists - create, save and restore customised filters for the main bird listing

In short, the demo version is for you to verify that the checklist will meet your needs. Future enhancements will only apply to the full version.

For the bird photos and sound files (and optional descriptions, rangemaps and video samples) you must download the files to your PC, unzip, and copy them to the SD card or internal memory of your phone.  For the WP checklist these files can be found here (includes a readme file with more detailed instructions):

https://drivehq.com/folder/p8404317.aspx

You are free to add your own resources files – the application places no restriction on this but very large numbers of photos (ie many thousands) will start slowing the application down.

Please contact me if you have any comments or suggestions, or corrections to the bird information.  Please also get in contact if you are interested in helping create a new birding checklist application for birds in your area.

Siddhartha Ebook (v. 1.0)

Can be read offline. Fast load times, easy viewing.

Book description:
Siddhartha is a novel by Hermann Hesse that deals with the spiritual journey of an Indian man named Siddhartha during the time of the Buddha.

The book, Hesse's ninth novel, was written in German, in a simple, powerful, and lyrical style. It was published in the U.S. in 1951 and became influential during the 1960s. Hesse dedicated Siddhartha to Romain Rolland and Wilhelm Gundert.

The word Siddhartha is made up of two words in the Sanskrit language, siddha (achieved) + artha (meaning or wealth). The two words together mean "he who has found meaning (of existence)" or "he who has attained his goals". The Buddha's name, before his renunciation, was Prince Siddhartha Gautama. In this book, the Buddha is referred to as "Gotama".

Book description:
The Call of the Wild is a novel by American writer Jack London. The plot concerns a previously domesticated dog named Buck, whose primordial instincts return after a series of events leads to his serving as a sled dog in the Yukon during the 19th-century Klondike Gold Rush, in which sled dogs were bought at generous prices.

Published in 1903, The Call of the Wild is London's most-read book, and it is generally considered his best, the masterpiece of his so-called "early period". Because the protagonist is a dog, it is sometimes classified as a juvenile novel, suitable for children, but it is dark in tone and contains numerous scenes of cruelty and violence. The Yeehat, a group of Alaska Natives portrayed in Call of the Wild, were a figment of London's imagination

Book description:

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland) is an 1865 novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It tells of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole into a fantasy world (Wonderland) populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as children. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre, and its narrative course and structure have been enormously influential, especially in the fantasy genre.

Peter Pan Ebook (v. 1.0)

Book description:
Peter and Wendy, published in 1911, is the novelisation by J. M. Barrie of his most famous play Peter Pan; or, the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up (1904). Both tell the story of Peter Pan, a mischievous little boy who can fly, and his adventures on the island of Neverland with Wendy Darling and her brothers, the fairy Tinker Bell, the Lost Boys, the Indian princess Tiger Lily, and the pirate Captain Hook. The play and novel were both inspired by Barrie's friendship with the Llewelyn Davies family. The novel follows the play closely, but includes a final chapter not part of the original play.

The play debuted in London on 27 December 1904 with Nina Boucicault, daughter of playwright Dion Boucicault, in the title role. A Broadway production was mounted in 1905 starring Maude Adams. It was later revived with such actresses as Marilyn Miller and Eva Le Gallienne. The play has since seen adaptation as a pantomime, stage musical, a television special, and several films, including a 1924 silent film, a 1953 animated Disney full-length feature, and a 2003 live action production with state-of-the-art special effects. The play is now rarely performed in its original form on stage in the United Kingdom, whereas pantomime adaptations are frequently staged around Christmas. In the U.S., the original version has also been supplanted in popularity by the 1954 musical version, which became popular on television.

The novel was first published in 1911 by Hodder & Stoughton in the United Kingdom and Charles Scribner's Sons in the United States. The original book contains a frontispiece and 11 half-tone plates by artist F. D. Bedford (whose illustrations are still in copyright in the EU). The novel was first abridged by May Byron in 1915, with Barrie's permission, and published under the title Peter Pan and Wendy, the first time this form was used. This version was later illustrated by Mabel Lucie Attwell in 1921. The novel is now usually published under that title or simply Peter Pan. The script of the play, which Barrie had continued to revise since its first performance, was published in 1928. In 1929, Barrie gave the copyright of the Peter Pan works to Great Ormond Street Hospital, a children's hospital in London.

Moby Dick Ebook (v. 1.0)

Book description:
Moby-Dick, also known as The Whale, is a novel first published in 1851 by American author Herman Melville. Moby-Dick is widely considered to be a Great American Novel and a treasure of world literature. The story tells the adventures of the wandering sailor Ishmael, and his voyage on the whaleship Pequod, commanded by Captain Ahab. Ishmael soon learns that Ahab seeks one specific whale: Moby Dick, a ferocious, enigmatic white sperm whale. In a previous encounter, the whale destroyed Ahab's boat and bit off his leg. Ahab intends to take revenge.

In Moby-Dick, Melville employs stylized language, symbolism, and metaphor to explore numerous complex themes. Through the main character's journey, the concepts of class and social status, good and evil, and the existence of gods are all examined as Ishmael speculates upon his personal beliefs and his place in the universe. The narrator's reflections, along with his descriptions of a sailor's life aboard a whaling ship, are woven into the narrative along with Shakespearean literary devices such as stage directions, extended soliloquies, and asides. The book portrays insecurity that is still seen today when it comes to non-human beings along with the belief that these beings understand and act like humans. The story is based on the actual events around the whaleship Essex, which was attacked by a sperm whale while at sea and sank.

Moby-Dick has been classified as American Romanticism. It was first published by Richard Bentley in London on October 18, 1851, in an expurgated three-volume edition titled The Whale, and weeks later as a single volume, by New York City publisher Harper and Brothers as Moby-Dick; or, The Whale on November 14, 1851. Although the book initially received mixed reviews, Moby-Dick is now considered part of the Western canon.
