ın The Jungle
Yvette Burkhammer
One of the most common meanings of jungle is land overgrown with tangled vegetation at ground level, especially in the tropics. Typically such vegetation is sufficiently dense to hinder movement by humans, requiring that travellers cut their way through.[6][7][8] This definition draws a distinction between rainforest and jungle, since the understorey of rainforests is typically open of vegetation due to a lack of sunlight, and hence relatively easy to traverse.[9][10] Jungles may exist within, or at the borders of, tropical forests in areas where the woodland has been opened through natural disturbance such as hurricanes, or through human activity such as logging.[6][11][12] The successional vegetation that springs up following such disturbance, is dense and tangled and is a "typical" jungle. Jungle also typically forms along rainforest margins such as stream banks, once again due to the greater available light at ground level.[9]
Monsoon forests and mangroves are commonly referred to as jungles of this type. Having a more open canopy than rainforests, monsoon forests typically have dense understoreys with numerous lianas and shrubs making movement difficult,[6][13][14] while the prop roots and low canopies of mangroves produce similar difficulties.[15][16]
Because European explorers initially travelled through tropical forests largely by river, the dense tangled vegetation lining the stream banks gave a misleading impression that such jungle conditions existed throughout the entire forest. As a result, it was wrongly assumed that the entire forest was impenetrable jungle.[17][18] This in turn appears to have given rise to the second popular usage of jungle as virtually any humid tropical forest.[19] Jungle in this context is particularly associated with tropical rain forest,[8][20] but may extend to cloud forest, temperate rainforest, and mangroves[19][21] with no reference to the vegetation structure or the ease of travel.
The terms "tropical forest" and "rainforest" have largely replaced "jungle" as the descriptor of humid tropical forests, a linguistic transition that has occurred since the 1970s. "Rainforest" itself did not appear in English dictionaries prior to the 1970s.[22] The word "jungle" accounted for over 80% of the terms used to refer to tropical forests in print media prior to the 1970s; since then it has been steadily replaced by "rainforest",[23] although "jungle" still remains in common use when referring to tropical rainforests.[22]
As a metaphor, jungle often refers to situations that are unruly or lawless, or where the only law is perceived to be "survival of the fittest". This reflects the view of "city people" that forests are such places. Upton Sinclair gave the title The Jungle (1906) to his famous book about the life of workers at the Chicago Stockyards, portraying the workers as being mercilessly exploited with no legal or other lawful recourse.[24]
The word "jungle" carries connotations of untamed and uncontrollable nature and isolation from civilisation, along with the emotions that evokes: threat, confusion, powerlessness, disorientation and immobilisation.[23][25][26] The change from "jungle" to "rainforest" as the preferred term for describing tropical forests has been a response to an increasing perception of these forests as fragile and spiritual places, a viewpoint not in keeping with the darker connotations of "jungle".[23][27][28]
Cultural scholars, especially post-colonial critics, often analyse the jungle within the concept of hierarchical domination and the demand western cultures often places on other cultures to conform to their standards of civilisation. For example: Edward Said notes that the Tarzan depicted by Johnny Weissmuller was a resident of the jungle representing the savage, untamed and wild, yet still a white master of it;[29] and in his essay "An Image of Africa" about Heart of Darkness Nigerian novelist and theorist Chinua Achebe notes how the jungle and Africa become the source of temptation for white European characters like Marlowe and Kurtz.[30]
Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak compared Israel to "a villa in the jungle", a comparison which had been often quoted in Israeli political debates. Barak's critics on the left side of Israeli politics strongly criticised the comparison.[31][32][33]

A cenote is your gateway into this new world, guiding our guests onto a twisting jungle pathway where incredible wildlife encounters wait around every corner. Flamingos lounge in a nearby lagoon, while fish, tortoises, and shorebirds forage among the underwater roots of a mangrove forest. The jungle offers overhead views of the underwater world that waits below, giving an early glimpse at sharks, tropical fish, and other aquatic species. Vampire bats, a boa constrictor, and other mysterious creatures reside within the dark Mayan Ruins, waiting to be discovered.
Which do people prefer?
I am looking to use them for reporting and product research, along with utilising some of the other features such as auto request a review.
Just wondering if anyone has any experience and has opinions on which to choose.
FWIW worth, we use Helium 10. Pretty much the sole purpose is to use the refund genie, which allows us to actively pursue reimbirsements for FBA stock lost in the warehouse. This alone, covers the cost of the subscription.
We currently use Jungle Scout. I find that a lot of their number for sales etc are not very accurate.
I mostly use it to find average selling prices for a particular range of products or to see which is the best seller in a category but it is not exact just a guide.

We use Hellium10 for product optimisation and I must say, it has been a huge help. Although we could do this without using the software, it is streamlined and much quicker in my opinion. I have not had much luck with junglescout before.

UPDATE: Due to recent buffs, he has jumped to a medium threat. He has a much easier early game which means he can be the one to snowball against you instead should you find a bad 1v1 or he gets fed from others. He often will have evolved R+W at Level 11 which counters Talon quite hard.Kha'Zix is just an absolutely pathetic, pitiful, shit champ - no way about it. While Talon vs Kha'Zix (JGL) is a skill match-up, you can easily outscale him fast and pressure a lot harder than him due to clear speed and map movement diff and eventually counter one-shot him on any of his attempts if you have R.Only thing you need to learn vs Kha in a 1v1 is to refrain from using R prematurely. As long as you hit W once for 1 stack, predict when he is about to re-emerge from his R for his second rotation and then use R --> AA --> Q --> AA to one-shot him. Do not panic against this insect.Just be wary of the windows where he is stronger which are: pre-6 where he can easily dodge your returning Rakes; post-6, with R advantage if he is hunting you. Kha'Zix can also counter you a bit with his W Evo, especially if you take Ignite. Getting slowed mid-fight is horrible as Talon.
