Hawks, including the accipitrines, are believed to have vision several times sharper than humans, in part because of the great number of photoreceptor cells in their retinas (up to 1,000,000 per square mm, against 200,000 for humans), a very high number of nerves connecting the receptors to the brain, and an indented fovea, which magnifies the ...
The Accipitriformes (/ æ k ˌ s ɪ p ɪ t r ɪ ˈ f ɔːr m iː z /; from Latin accipiter 'hawk' and formes 'having the form of') are an order of birds that includes most of the diurnal birds of prey, including hawks, eagles, vultures, and kites, but not falcons.

Based on the Disney hit, Blackhawk's 4-show run begins with a discounted Thursday performance.

The first music cafés, called ongaku kissa (a shortening of kissaten), [5] opened in Japan in the late 1920s. [6] Due to restrictions on live music, kissa were some of the only places outside of large venues where people could hear Western music. [7] These kissa housed large record collections, centred on specific genres, and modern sound ...
