Reference excerpt

Jack Hubley (born abt 1951) is an American wildlife nature expert, retired TV host, and falconer. He was the host of the nationally-syndicated show Wild Moments. He was also the outdoors editor for the Lancaster Sunday News and the editor of Pennsylvania Wildlife magazine.

Early life Hubley was raised in Lititz, Pennsylvania. He was the son of Mr & Mrs John A. Hubley Jr. He attended Warwick High School, where as a senior, he made the news when the pet boa constrictor that he brought in for a science project disappeared for 6 months. Hubley graduated from Warwick in 1969 followed by Lebanon Valley College in 1973.

Career In 1982, Hubley got a job writing a column for the Lancaster Sunday News. In 1989, he became the paper's outdoors editor. In 1985, Hubley also became the editor for the Pennsylvania Wildlife magazine. He joined the local TV station, WGAL, in 1987, becoming the host of the TV show Call of the Outdoors after the previous host left. In 1997, the show was changed to Call of the Outdoors for Kids. In 2000, he pitched the concept for the show Wild Moments, consisting of wildlife news segments. The show would go onto become nationally-syndicated. In Wild Moments, Hubley introduced users to wildlife species and answered viewers' questions. In 2002, the two last bald eagles in Massachusetts were banded by a State Wildlife Officer on the show. Later that year, the show featured Montana biologists Lance and Jill Morrow and their research on golden eagles. Hubley also frequently participated in presentations showing birds and other animals. Hubley retired from WGAL in 2017 after 30 years on-air. Hubley is a master falconer and licensed to hunt with golden eagles. As a master falconer, he has provided advice to academics studying how falcons and hawks pursue prey. He is also the president of the Pennsylvania Falconry and Hawk Trust.

Personal life Hubley is married with two daughters.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Jack Hubley

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Jack Hubley claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Jack Hubley before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Jack Hubley ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Jack Hubley

In research: Jack Hubley appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Jack Hubley in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Jack Hubley is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1951 births, American naturalists, American television hosts, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Jack Hubley outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
