All tournament chess games are played with a chess clock - that is, two clocks joined together. When one player

effect of sheltering is magnified by several birds huddling together in the roost, as wrens, swifts, brown creepers,
bluebirds, and anis do. Body contact reduces the surface area exposed to the cold air, so the birds keep each other
warm. Two kinglets huddling together were found to reduce their heat losses by a quarter and three together saved a
third of their heat.
The second possible benefit of communal roosts is that they act as “information centers”. During the day, parties
of birds will have spread out to forage over a very large area. When they return in the evening some will have fed well,
but others may have found little to eat. Some investigators have observed that when the birds set out again next
morning, those birds that did not feed well on the previous day appear to follow those that did. The behavior of
common and lesser kestrels may illustrate different feeding behaviors of similar birds with different roosting habits.
The common kestrel hunts vertebrate animals in a small, familiar hunting ground, whereas the very similar lesser
kestrel feeds on insects over a large area. The common kestrel roost and hunts alone, but the lesser kestrel roosts and
hunts in flocks, possibly so one bird can learn from others where to find insect swarms.
Finally, there is safety in numbers at communal roosts since there will always be a few birds awake at any given
moment to give the alarm. But this increased protection is partially counteracted by the fact that mass roosts attract
predators and are especially vulnerable if they are on the ground. Even those in trees can be attacked by birds of prey.
The birds on the edge are at greatest risk since predators find it easier to catch small birds perching at the margins of the
roost.

extended beyond patrol duty. Through the establishment of military posts, yet other contributions were made to the
development of western culture. Many posts maintained libraries or reading rooms, and some – for example, Fort Davis
– had schools. Post chapels provided a setting for religious services and weddings. Throughout the wilderness, post
bands provided entertainment and boosted morale. During the last part of the nineteenth century, to reduce expenses,
gardening was encouraged at the forts, thus making experimental agriculture another activity of the military. The
military stationed at the various forts also played a role in civilian life by assisting in maintaining order, and civilian
officials often called on the army for protection. Certainly, among other significant contributions the army made to the
improvement of the conditions of life was the investigation of the relationships among health, climate, and architecture.
From the earliest colonial times throughout the nineteenth century, disease ranked as the foremost problem in defense.
It slowed construction of forts and inhibited their military functions. Official documents from many regions contained
innumerable reports of sickness that virtually incapacitated entire garrisons. In response to the problems, detailed
observations of architecture and climate and their relationships to the frequency of the occurrence of various diseases
were recorded at various posts across the nation by military surgeons.
