''Kaysersberg is a commune in the Haut-Rhin department in Alsace in north-eastern France.
The inhabitants are called Kaysersbergeois. The name means Emperor's Mountain in German.
Kaysersberg is considered one of the most beautiful cities on the wine route. The high fortress that dominates the city serves as a reminder of both its strategic importance and its warlike past. Before World War One, Kaysersberg was part of Germany.
Today, Kaysersberg with its medieval atmosphere is more appropriate as the perfect setting for an Alsatian festival.
Kaysersberg is one of the finest wine growing areas in Alsace. The first vines were brought here in the 16th century from Hungary, and wine production is still an important aspect of the town’s economy today. Wine produced from the Tokay variety is a local specialty.'

Brain Breaks to me are not only necessary for kids, but they are a classroom management strategy in the upper grades. My students actually earn Brain Breaks when they are doing excellent work (every 30-45 minutes). They want an immediate reward that lets them move around and be silly, and I want them to be allowed to have that silly time (at the appropriate time). Here are some Brain Break
Get students up and moving. Refocus them. Encourage them to think in a different way. Reward them for good behavior. Even leave the cards for a substitute as "filler activities". Print and go resource for upper elementary and middle school teachers to use with their students.
Brain Breaks for BIGGER Students - Get Them Moving and Thinking
Yoga can be a great break from the classroom routine or can also be a great way to use your Physical Education time! This product includes 14 posters in color (and black and white), a yoga journal, a book list, and teacher tips for use. Namaste!

Between the years 1400 to 1800 many Europeans thought witches were a serious danger to society. Although, historically and scientifically witches did not really exist, political authorities began to arrest, prosecute and
punish -- or hunt -- people they imagined to be witches. For a general material on the whole issue of the witch hunts, go to the
Witch Hunts main page here, and explore the links. "Ten
Common Errors and Myths about the Witch Hunts" might be particularly
In 1628 the Holy Roman Empire was in a fragile condition. What historians would later call the Thirty Years War had rattled through many territories for ten years already. This conflict was fought concerning how much power the emperor would have over other imperial kings, dukes and counts in addition to the clash between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism. Many people had died, territories had been devastated by armies, and political systems weakened. Further, bad weather in the 1620s was causing crop failures, famine and plague. Instead of considering natural causes or the mistakes of politicians, people would blame mysterious witches, in league with the Devil, for these misfortunes. Then, especially in the years 1628-1630, a new wave of witch hunts broke out in the Holy Roman Empire, especially in territories ruled by prince-bishops.
Prince-bishops were both prelates of the church and political rulers. As clerics they administered the possessions and clergy of the Roman Catholic Church within their dioceses. But as princes of the empire, they acted like dukes or counts in their control of taxes, armies, and courts within their individual territories. For more on prince-bishops,
These clerical/political leaders of territories like Eichstätt, Bamberg, Würzburg, Mainz, or Cologne harshly hunted witches, often by violating civil rights of the accused. Torture could be carried out on hearsay evidence from as few as two witnesses, and contrary evidence by equally valid eyewitnesses could be ignored. Although
imperial legal codes were supposed to prohibit repeated torture, professors and lawyers argued that further bouts of torture were a mere continuation of the first application. Tortured
victims produced fantastic stories and accusations that fed the frenzy of the
By about 1630 this wave of persecutions petered out. Many critics had raised voices against the entire practice of hunting witches. Friends of the persecuted had appealed to the emperor and institutions of imperial government like the Imperial court in Speyer or the Diet which in turn called for a halt. And many of the biggest foes of witches simply died. Witch hunts throughout the empire would continue to sporadically break out until the witch laws were revoked in the eighteenth century. Authorities legally executed the last witch in the empire, Anna Maria Schwägelin, in 1775.

Description: Scab first appears on the bottom and later
on the side of the fruit. Infected fruit often become
misshapen. Scab spores develop during the winter, in
infected leaves on the ground. Infection begins at the
green-tip stage of flower bud development. Infection
is highest when blossoms are open, but continues for
about 6-9 weeks.
Soap-Shield® Fungicidal Soap
when disease first appears, and repeat at 7-10 day intervals
for as long as needed. For optimum control, begin spraying
at the green-tip stage of bud development. Repeat at
7-10 day intervals for as long as needed. To reduce
disease, remove leaf debris and infected fruit in the
fall. Most infected pears can still be eaten if the
scabby area is removed.

Respectfully Quoted: A Dictionary of Quotations. 1989.
Calvin Coolidge (18721933)
Nothing in the World can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. The slogan press on has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
Attributed to CALVIN COOLIDGE. Unverified, though this appeared on the cover of the program of a memorial service for him in 1933. The Forbes Library, Northampton, Massachusetts, has searched its Coolidge collection many times for this.

/c - Compile Without Linking (Windows CE 5.0)
This option instructs the compiler to compile all C source files typed on the command line. The compiler creates object files only, but does not pass object files to the linker. The compiler does not produce an executable file or DLL.
The following code example compiles First.c, creating the object file First.obj, and then compiles Second.c, creating the object file Second.obj. The compiler does not perform processing with Third.obj, because the compiler stops the build process after compilation and before linking.

A subpopulation of individuals with serious mental health conditions makes repeated and frequent visits to emergency departments and psychiatric crisis centers. These so-called super utilizers often have financial problems and present with chronic or untreated comorbid psychiatric and substance use disorders.1 These patients are often well known to clinical staff and are sometimes colloquially labeled “frequent flyers.” A pejorative branding, “frequent flyers” are often assumed to be problem patients. In psychiatric settings, these patients are sometimes said to be “borderlines,” “drug seekers,” “malingerers,” or “treatment resistant.”

Summary about Sudan
Sudan is the largest county in Africa continent and capital is Khartoum, population is 42 million people, where 52% are black African, which are indigenous; 39% are Arab, who are Muslims. In ancient times North Sudan was Kingdom of Nubia and was controlled by Egypt. In 6th century European crusaders established catholic churches in territory of Sudan. So already by that time in territory of Sudan were two religions – Islamic and Catholic.
In 1882 Britain had colonized Egypt, so also Sudan was influenced, started Anglo – Egyptian period in Sudan’s history. …

The gap between rich and poor countries has grown exponentially since the days of Adam Smith. In the 1770s, rich countries were twice as well-off as poor countries. These days, GDP per capita is 35 times higher in rich countries than in poor. In this 3 ½ minute video, economist B. Ravikumar explains how he and other economists are looking at these cross-country income differences.

1. With the words: judo and track and field, can I use the verb "practice". I know that for sports, we use play.
2. "I live far from school." / "I live far from the school". Can I use both???
3. When I'm talking about physical activities, I will say: do exercise/take exercise (according to a dictionary - Uncountable). If I want to say "do exercises" with the meaning of physical activity, will it be wrong??? Because in the same dictionary I saw that "exercise" is Countable.

FWL: 6.5-11.0 mm
Forewings are gray with silvery striations. The ocellus is dark purplish brown and is edged with metallic gold or copper scales. Hindwings are grayish brown and males have a fold along the base of the cubital vein that contains a hair pencil with long black sex scales. Male genitalia are characterized by a ventrally projecting spur at the base of the cucullus. Female genitalia are characterized by a short sclerotized ductus bursae.
Adults may appear similar to dark individuals of Cydia splendana. Cydia pomonella can be separated from C. splendana by the metallic scales surrounding the ocellus and the hair pencil on the male hindwing. A genitalic dissection can be used to confirm identity.
For information on the larva of Cydia pomonella, please consult the fact sheet and keys on LepIntercept - An identification resource for intercepted Lepidoptera larvae.
Cydia pomonella completes 2-4 generations per year. In North America, adults are present in many locations from April through September.
Females lay eggs singly on fruits, stems, or leaves of the host. Larvae tunnel into fruit to feed on the seeds. Larval damage to fruit is characterized by entry and exit holes, rot that surrounds larval feeding areas, and frass accumulation. Mature larvae exit the fruit and create a cocoon under tree bark or in leaf litter; overwintering occurs as a prepupa.
Cydia pomonella is the most widely distributed and important pest of apple, pear, and walnuts in the world. Other larval hosts include almond, apricot, fig, macadamia, nectarine, peach, plum, prune, and quince. Wearing et al. 2001 provide evidence that sweet cherry (Prunus avium) is not a larval host.
Larvae were intercepted on Citrus in 2009, confirming Rutaceae as a larval host.

8 to 80 Percent of the Sun’s Mass
Low-mass stars are the longest lived of the energy-producing objects in the universe. Though they far outnumber all other stars, they are the faintest ones, and thus are hard to detect. Some low-mass stars will live for trillions of years.

Environmental Action Plan 2009–2012
Nordic Council of Ministers, Nordic Council of Ministers Secretariat2008 (English)Other (Other (popular science, discussion, etc.))
A large number of environmental challenges exist that must be faced in cooperation – at national, regional and global levels. These challenges are primarily climate change, the use and discharge of hazardous chemicals, protection of marine ecosystems and protection and utilisation of biological diversity. The cooperation between the Nordic countries needs to be enhanced to optimise the util-isation of available resources and find joint solutions in the Nordic region. The Nordic countries have an ambition of making the Nordic region a pioneer region in the environmental area and sharing their experience with others. The awareness of our consumption and production patterns being decisive to the condition of the environment means that the economy and the environment must be considered together.

Electrical cardioversion is a procedure that uses an electric
current to stop the heart momentarily. This helps the heart have a normal
rhythm when it resumes beating.
Usually a person is given a sedative before the procedure. Then patches are placed on the person's chest. The patches send an electrical current to the heart. An external defibrillator, which has paddles, might be used in some situations. Doctors are prepared to help
maintain a person's circulation during the procedure with medicines and other
Cardioversion may be used to help the heart return to a normal
rhythm after medicines have failed to do so. The procedure also may be done
in emergency situations. For example, it may be done to correct a fast heart rhythm that is causing
low blood pressure, chest pain, or heart failure.

A series of shark attacks is forcing Google to reinforce its underwater, fiber optic cables with a Kevlar-like casing.
The cables carry Internet data across the globe at one gigabyte per second. Each cable already has a series of layers to protect against impact and movement that could break the glass fibers inside. However, sharks are biting into the cables.
The magnetic field created by the high voltage in the cables resembles that of a moving fish.

Argument was the basis of Renaissance education; both rhetoric and
dialectic permeated early modern humanist culture, including drama.
This study approaches Shakespeare's history plays by analyzing the use
of argument in the plays and examining the importance of argument in
Renaissance culture. Knowles shows how analysis of arguments of speech
and action take us to the core of the plays, in which Shakespeare
interrogates the nature of political morality and truth as grounded in
the history of what men do and say.

The Underground Railroad
(knocking on a door)
Do you have something for me?
Yes. This message just arrived for you today.
Many Iowans, called Abolitionists, opposed slavery all together. The Government didn’t seem to be taking any action so many Abolitionists felt that they had to take the law into their own hands.
Concerning our conversation of the last… by tomorrow evening’s mail you will receive two volumes of the irrepressible conflict bound in black. After perusal, please forward and oblige.
A shipment on the Underground Railroad. It wasn’t a railroad at all, but a secret route over which escaping slaves make their way to freedom. Conductors on the railroad were Abolitionists sympathizers. Helping slaves escape was a violation to the Fugitive Slave Act. If caught, conductors were subjected to fines or jail sentences. But most important, the fugitive slaves would be returned to their owners and were apt to suffer severe punishment for trying to escape.
Mom? Why we got to be down here?
Boy, you ask too many questions! Now just be quiet!

Forensic linguists use what they know about speech and writing to testify in courtrooms. And get out your hankies! Martha and Grant are talking about the language of … sneezing. And what do you call it when you clean the house in a hurry because company’s coming? How about making lasagna or shame cleaning? Plus who’s a hoopie, down goes your shanty, hold on to your blueberry money, and gym slang fit for a cardio queen.
This episode first aired October 13, 2012.
A Sneeze that Won’t Come
Having trouble sneezing? You may be suffering from arrested sternutation, also known as a sneeze freeze!
Is it still cleaning if you just throw things in a closet? Terms for this practice include making a lasagna, shame cleaning, or stuffing the comedy closet. Just be careful not to end up with a Fibber McGee catastrophe.
Muse and Amused
Is there a connection between the ancient Greek muse and the word amused? No. The muses were mythological figures who inspired the likes of Homer, while amuse comes from the Latin word for “staring stupidly,” as in, “to be distracted by mindless entertainment.”
Photic Sneeze Reflex
Why do we sneeze when we go from a dark theater to the bright outdoors? The photic sneeze reflex is a genetic trait many of us have, as part of the Autosomal Dominant Compelling Helo-Ophthalmic Outburst Syndrome, the backronym for ACHOO!
Know Here from Siccum
You don’t know siccum, meaning “you don’t know anything,” is an idiom common in the American Northwest. It’s a shortened form of he doesn’t know come here from sic ’em, as in a dog that doesn’t know how to obey commands.
Blank Tiles Word Game
Our Quiz Guy John Chaneski has a game for all of us who fancy the blank tiles in Words With Friends. Given a word and two blank tiles, place one on either end to form a new word. For example, at least two new words can be made by adding a letter to either end of the word eight.
If someone’s a hoopie, it means they’re less than sophisticated. This term was used in the Ohio River Valley to refer to the bumpkins from West Virginia who performed menial work with barrels, hammering their hoops into place.
How to Address the President
How should news organizations refer to elected officials, past and present? There’s not much consensus among print and broadcast companies, but most organizations have their own set of rules. For example, NPR’s policy is to refer to the current president as President Barack Obama the first time he’s mentioned in a news story, and thereafter as Mr. Obama.
What kind of slang will you find at the gym? The old standby, jacked, meaning “muscular,” may derive from the lifting motion of a car jack. January joiners are those well-meaning souls who make new year’s resolutions to get in shape, and stop showing up a week later. Cardio queens are the ladies in fancy sweatsuits taking a leisurely stroll on the treadmill while reading a magazine.
What’s it called when a fit of sneezing takes hold? Try ptarmosis, from the Greek ptarmos for “sneeze.” Or sternutamentum, meaning rapid, spasmodic sneezing.
Forensic linguistics, the subject of a recent New Yorker piece by Jack Hitt (in full here, is a useful tool in the courtroom. Linguists like Roger Shuy, who’s written a handful of books on the subject, have managed to solve criminal cases by identifying personal and regional distinctions in a suspect’s language. Though far from a silver bullet, the practice seems to have a solid place in the future of law enforcement.
If someone still has their blueberry money, chances are they’re a bit stingy. This term from the American Northeast refers to those who’ve held onto the change they made picking and selling blueberries as a kid.
Down Goes Your Shanty
What’s the origin of the warning phrase down goes your shanty!? This bit of menacing slang pops up in letters written by Civil War soldiers. One wrote, “If I ever get a chance to draw sight on a rebel, down goes his shanty.” It has a similar meaning to a phrase heard in Oklahoma: down goes your meat house!
Why do people use the phrase going forward/a> when talking about the future? Although it sometimes carries legitimate meaning, the expression is often just a pleonastic bit of business jargon that ends up on plenty of lists of people’s pet peeves.
Flyer vs. Flier
Is the synonym for pamphlet spelled flyer or flier? Both. In the UK, it’s more often flyer, and in the US, flier is preferred.

The great debate [electronic resource] : Edmund Burke, Thomas Paine, and the Birth of Right and Left. Yuval Levin.
- ISBN: 9780465040940 (electronic bk)
- Physical Description: 1 online resource
- Date Published: 2013.
|Summary, etc.:|| For more than two centuries, our political life has been divided between a party of progress and a party of conservation. In The Great Debate, Yuval Levin explores the origins of the left/right divide in America by examining the views of the men who best represent each side of that debate: Edmund Burke and Thomas Paine. In a groundbreaking exploration of the roots of our political order, Levin shows that American partisanship originated in the debates over the French Revolution, fueled by the fiery rhetoric of these ideological titans. Levin masterfully shows how Burke and Paine’s differing views continue to shape our current political discourseon issues ranging from gun control and abortion to welfare and economic reform. Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand Washington’s often acrimonious rifts, The Great Debate offers a profound examination of what conservatism, liberalism, and the debate between them truly amount to.

The basic reason for most immigration to the United States during the period of industrialization was economic opportunity. Most immigrants who came to the US did so at least in part for economic reasons. The specifics differed depending on the region and the ethnicity of the immigrants, but the basic idea was generally the same.
Immigrants came to the East Coast and to the Midwest from Europe. Those who settled on the East Coast generally did so in order to work in factories. Those who moved on to the Midwest did so while working for the railroad or in order to farm. Chinese immigrants to the West Coast typically came in order to work building the railroads.
In the majority of cases, the real draw was economic opportunity. Immigrants have typically been drawn to the US in order to make a better living than they think they can attain at home.

Paris chez Chaillou Editeur rue St Honoré No. 140
Lithograph, image 165 x 110mm (6½ x 4½"). Wove paper; uncut sheet; foxing; publisher's blindstamp.
Miguel I (1802-66), King of Portugal (1828-34). A son of João VI, Miguel revolted against his father, who exiled him to Vienna. After the death of João VI, the heir-apparent Pedro remained in Brazil, where he had become Emperor. Pedro abdicated the portuguese throne in favour of his daughter Maria regent of Portugal, but Miguel deposed her in 1828, with the support of the British Prime Minister, the Duke of Wellington. In 1831 Pedro abdicated the Brazilian throne and led an invasion of Portugal, beginning a three-year civil war which ended with Miguel abdicating. He spent the rest of his life in exile in Italy, England and Germany. From a series of portraits by lithographer Antoine Maurin dit l'aîné (1793 - 1860).
For Maria II, see ref. 34516; for Pedro, see 34519; for a British satire criticizing Wellington's stance towards Miguel, see ref. 30580.

A spacing calculator for mixed plantings
This form calculates spacing for mixed plantings, based on pure stand spacing recommendations and the ratio of crops in a mixture. Mixtures spaced according to its recommendations use the same amount of land per plant as segregated pure stands, allowing a meaningful comparison of the land-use efficiency of mixtures and pure stands. The theory behind the calculator is discussed in more detail here.
Using the spacing calculator
- Fill in standard spacing recommendations for up to four crops. The units (inches, centimeters, feet etc.) must be the same for each crop; calculated values will use the same units. The default values are spacings for corn and beet, in inches, from How to Grow More Vegetables (Jeavons 2006). Pure stands of corn and beets are shown in Figure 5A, spaced according to these recommendations.
- Fill in the ratio in which those crops will be planted in the mixture. The default ratio is one corn plant for every three beets (1:3), illustrated in Figure 5B.
- Click on the button labeled 'Calculate mixture spacing.'
|Figure 5A. A square meter of corn (white circles, left) and beets (black diamonds, right), planted in monocultures using the hexagonal spacings recommended in How to Grow More Vegetables... (Jeavons 2006).|
|Figure 5B. A square meter of corn and beets, grown in mixtures with corn:beet ratios of 1:3 (left), 1:8 (center), and 1:15 (right) using plant spacings calculated by the spacing calculator. The space between corn plants is the calculated 'clump spacing' value -- the distance between repitions of the planting pattern.|
The calculator performs two calculations:
- Plant spacing for evenly spaced mixtures.
This is the distance between plants in a mixture, assuming regular spacing between all plants. In the default example, illustrated on the left of Figure 5B, all plants are 8.3" apart. In order for all crops to be evenly spaced, the sum of the ratio components should be a perfect square. Examples of evenly spaced two-crop mixture ratios are 1:3, 1:8, and 1:15, which add up to 4, 9 and 16, respectively (Figure 5B). Examples of evenly spaced three and four-crop mixture ratios are 1:2:6 and 1:3:6:6, which add up to 9 and 16, respectively.
- Clump spacing for clumped mixtures.
It is not necessary to have an evenly-spaced planting arrangement to use the spacing calculator. A simpler method is to arrange crops in evenly spaced clusters, and use the spacing calculator to calculate the distance between clusters. For example, a gardener who desires a 1:1 ratio of corn:bean plants would use the 'clump spacing' value to space her corn, then plant a bean next to each corn plant. If corn and beans are spaced 15" and 6" apart in monoculture, then each corn-bean pair would be 16" apart in the mixture.
A more complex clumped mixture is a native American 'Three sisters' planting, featuring mounds of corn and bean clusters between squash plants. A common crop ratio for a 'Three sisters' planting is 4:4:1 corn:bean:squash. The 'clump spacing' value recommends that mounds be spaced 36" apart if the pure stand spacings of corn, bean and squash are 15", 6", and 18", respectively.

I have received this plant from a friend, I wonder what it is, can you help?
Your plant is called an Ornamental Sweet Potato Plant (Ipomoea butatas).
Here are some care tips.
Light: Medium to bright lightVery few houseplants should be placed in direct sun. High light refers only to bright indirect light since direct sun often burns the leaves of indoor houseplants. An area that is too hot and dry encourages Spider Mites and causes blooms to quickly fade. A northern exposure really doesn't provide enough light for high light plants. These plants need to be placed directly in front of an east-facing window, within 1-3 feet of a west-facing window, and within 5 ft. of a south facing window. A high light area has over 300 ft. candles of light., can even tolerate some direct sun without the leaves burning.
Water: Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy. This plant dries out faster than most indoor houseplants. Be sure there are drip holes in the bottom of your container to prevent over-watering and root rot.
Humidity: Moderate to high humidity
fertilizerPlants need fertilizer only when they are actively growing. Slow growing plants in low light require very little plant food. Too much fertilizer is worse than not enough. Most plants prefer a water soluble plant food at 1/2 the recommended strength. Plants that are in bloom or dormant should not be fertilized. Houseplant food contains nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). A fertilizer containing these elements in equal proportion is considered a balanced plant food. Nitrogen helps in photosynthesis and encourages the growth of leaves and stems. Potassium and phosphorus also help in photosynthesis and aid in root and flower development. Most fertilizers have trace elements of other minerals that are lacking in the soil but are necessary for good plant growth. Fertilizers have a high salt content. If a plant is not producing new leaves and doesn’t absorb the fertilizer, salts build up in the soil. These salts can burn the roots, discolor the leaves, and cause new growth to be small.: Feed monthly in the Spring & Summer when the plant is actively growing with a balanced plant food diluted to 1/2 the recommended strength.
Temperature: Basic household temperatures. Can be moved outside once all danger of frost has passed.
Pruning: Cut off long bare stems to keep the plant full.

1. Is it true you can only plant natives in fall? In most areas of California you can plant all year. A native plant is no different than a non-native plant in limited planting schedules. You can't plant through five feet of snow in the Sierras, nor is it a good idea to plant in Barstow in July (we've done both with little problems, but it's nicer to plant in January in Barstow and May in the Sierras). See 'when to plant' for more information.
2."How do I make a grassland?" Grasslands exist only where the soils have high Boron (>2ppm), high Sodium (>300ppm), are seasonally flooded, or are very shallow (less than a foot). If your garden doesn't have one or more of these problems it will make a very poor grassland, but a great weed patch! The labor to make the area a grassland is about one man- hour per square meter per month from December to June. If your yard is 20 feet by 50 feet that comes out to about 700 man hours per year. Herbicides are of limited use because the wildflowers and forbs like Sisyrinchium bellum, Sidalcea spp and Lupinus spp. make up least 50% of the plants present and it is difficult not to kill them along with the weeds. Also see the grassland community page.
3."Can I get a replacement? The squirrels, deer, neighbor dog, 2 year old or other 'wild' animal ate my plant. "
(We usually will give a replacement plant if the plant promptly disappeared, but you will be quizzed.)
If you have a two year old have him/her help you plant the plant
and become part of the garden effort. If you have a puppy that has
eaten every shoe and piece of furniture in the house, either wait a
year to plant, or cage the plant. If the place you're planting has a
squirrel/gopher hole every three inches, kill or trap the rodents out
before you plant. Rodents don't usually bother natives, but if your
plant is the only living thing for hundreds of feet it will be
'sampled'. For dealing with deer see the deer page.
Occasionally we get someone who just tries to scam the system, but
it's surprisingly low.
4. "Should I amend the planting hole or add mycorrhizal inoculum to the soil?
DO NOT AMEND the soil. If you don't know what mycorrhiza is, don't worry about it. If you do, don't buy this 'snake oil'. Save your money. Mycorrhiza is already in your soil or the soil on the plant you're planting. Mycorrhiza inoculum is great for strawberry fields, acid mine tailings and other sterile sites, not for a native system or your yard. If you design and plant your garden or restoration right, the mycorrhiza will be there.
kind of mulch should I use?"
Most plants thrive with shredded redwood bark, oak leaves and twigs or any debris that fell off your plant, or tree chippings. Desert plants don't want mulch but a few rocks seem to help them out. Bad mulches for natives include: grass clippings, straw, manure, gravel, black plastic sheets or other synthetic mulches (these things literally cook the soil. really bad!!!), compost, Eucalyptus or walnut chippings, bark nuggets, newspaper, this list goes on endlessly. We are amazed at what people come up with. Just remember, mulch should retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, add nutrition to the soil as they break down, provide habitat for good soil organisms, prevent soil erosion on new plantings or slopes. See the planting guide for more details.
6. "Should I wash the roots off with soapy water?"
My goodness, NO! (This response has been heavily edited to protect any sensitive ears) This question is extremely weird to us, but we keep getting asked it. (Do not be surprised if we look for an antenna growing out of your left ear if you ask it!) There's a microecosystem on each root ball that we work very hard to make happy so the plant can live in your garden for decades. Ripping the soil up and working to remove that system usually kills the plant, or at least stunts it. Most natives don't want their root disturbed.
7. "How do you or I know what plant community my garden is
supposed to be in?"
We've tried to develop a model of California before the first trappers showed up and track where the plant communities were. We have given you access to that information on the zip codes page and on mynativeplants.com
8. "How should I water?" Do not use drip irrigation. Water with a hose or overhead sprinkler for at least the first watering. The first watering is generally 50% of the water for the life of the plant. Second watering is 25%, third 12% and so on. Water about 30-50 gallons/plant with the first watering if you're planting spring, summer or fall. In normal winters watering is much more optional and varies by year and location. See the watering page.
9. "What does "Las Pilitas" mean? The best answer we've heard is a variation of the 'water hole' or 'water trough'. The Las Pilitas Creek has has some areas where it runs over solid rock and makes these clean little puddles of water.
11. "What can I plant under my oak tree?" Plant things that don't need water and like deep leaf litter! Watering puts a lot of stress on your oak tree and may eventually kill it. And all those leaves are very important for your oak tree. See how to take care of your mature (elderly, over the hill) oak tree. Some common plants that occur under coast live oaks naturally are, Ribes sanguineum var. glutinosum, R. malvaceum, R. indecorum, R.viburnifolium, Rhamnus californica, Salvia spathacea, Lonicera hispidula, Holodiscus discolor, Keckiella breviflora, Satureja douglasii, Symphoricarpos mollis, Stachys ajugoides and Solanum xanti. If the shade is light some of the medium -sized Ceanothus and Arctostaphylos work well along with the Diplacus species. For more shade plants, see the shade garden page just remember to use the ones that don't need water.
12. "How did you get started and what are your qualifications?" Celeste has a M.S. in Biological Sciences, Bert has a B.S. in Chemistry with two years graduate work in Chemistry and was a California licensed Landscape Contractor for 35 years doing Native Landscapes. Penny has a B.S. in Biological Sciences. Ian has a degree in Math. We started the nursery 40 years ago when we were still in college.Regina Dugan, “If you don't already have a nerd in your life, you should get one.”

I am picturing an inclined plane, sloping downward to the right. I am choosing a +x direction down the slope and a +y direction (which isn't actually needed here) perpendicular to and coming out of the plane. I'm going to call the angle of incline measured between the horizontal and the incline of the plane.
Stick an object of mass m on the plane and assume no friction. The object will begin to slide down the plane. Do a Free-Body Diagram. You'll have a normal force (N) in the +y direction, and a weight (w) straight down.
We need to break w into components in the x and y directions. (Specifically all we care about here is the component in the x direction.)
<-- Make sure you understand why this is sine and not cosine!
Since w = mg: .

American astronomer Clyde Tombaugh discovered Pluto in 1930. Eighty-five years later, his heart still beats out there, four billion miles from Earth in the Kuiper Belt. Today, NASA has released new, high-resolution images of Pluto’s giant, heart-shaped plain, informally named Tombaugh Regio (the Tombaugh Region). The discovery of this craterless section of Tombaugh Regio — dubbed “Sputnik Planum” after Earth’s first artificial satellite — is exciting, and confusing. In science, the two feelings are inseparable.
“This terrain is not easy to explain,” said Jeff Moore, head of New Horizon’s Geology, Geophysics and Imaging Team team at NASA’s Ames Research Center, in a press release. “The discovery of vast, craterless, very young plains on Pluto exceeds all pre-flyby expectations.”
What looks like the veins of Pluto’s heart are hills and troughs bordering “irregularly shaped” sections of the surface. And that’s the interesting part. A dwarf planet as old as Pluto should have some pretty recognizable signs of impact…everywhere. The fact that the heart of Pluto’s heart does not suggests that the body is still geologically active. The plains appear less than 100 million years old.
Scientists are now suggesting that this supposedly “dead” planet may be contracting and expanding its surface, forming cracks and crevices like drying mud. It could even be experiencing convection heating, as a surface layer of frozen carbon monoxide shifts below an atmosphere of nitrogen and methane, driven by heat from the dwarf planet’s interior. A dead planet it is not.
Just in the last four days we’ve learned what Pluto really looks like, that it’s larger than we expected, that it has icy mountains, and one of its moons has a space Mordor. Over the next year, the New Horizons spacecraft will continue to beam back the wealth of data from its historic flyby. All the while, Pluto’s heart will be beating.

1. After they had subdued the land, the whole community of the Israelites assembled at Shiloh, where they set up the meeting tent.
2. Seven tribes among the Israelites had not yet received their heritage.
3. Joshua therefore said to the Israelites, "How much longer will you put off taking steps to possess the land which the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you?
4. Choose three men from each of your tribes; I will commission them to begin a survey of the land, which they shall describe for purposes of inheritance. When they return to me
5. you shall divide it into seven parts. Judah is to retain its territory in the south, and the house of Joseph its territory in the north.
6. You shall bring here to me the description of the land in seven sections. I will then cast lots for you here before the LORD, our God.
7. For the Levites have no share among you, because the priesthood of the LORD is their heritage; while Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have already received the heritage east of the Jordan which Moses, the servant of the LORD, gave them."
8. When those who were to map out the land were ready for the journey, Joshua instructed them to survey the land, prepare a description of it, and return to him; then he would cast lots for them there before the LORD in Shiloh.
9. So they went through the land, listed its cities in writing in seven sections, and returned to Joshua in the camp at Shiloh.
10. Joshua then divided up the land for the Israelites into their separate shares, casting lots for them before the LORD in Shiloh.
11. One lot fell to the clans of the tribe of Benjaminites. The territory allotted them lay between the descendants of Judah and those of Joseph.
12. Their northern boundary began at the Jordan and went over the northern flank of Jericho, up westward into the mountains, till it reached the desert of Beth-aven.
13. From there it crossed over to the southern flank of Luz (that is, Bethel). Then it ran down to Ataroth-addar, on the mountaintop south of Lower Beth-horon.
14. For the western border, the boundary line swung south from the mountaintop opposite Bethhoron till it reached Kiriath-baal (that is, Kiriath-jearim), which city belonged to the Judahites. This was the western boundary.
15. The southern boundary began at the limits of Kiriath-jearim and projected to the spring at Nephtoah.
16. It went down to the edge of the mountain on the north of the Valley of Rephaim, where it faces the Valley of Ben-hinnom; and continuing down the Valley of Hinnom along the southern flank of the Jebusites, reached En-rogel.
17. Inclining to the north, it extended to En-shemesh, and thence to Geliloth, opposite the pass of Adummim. Then it dropped to Eben-Bohan-ben-Reuben,
18. across the northern flank of the Arabah overlook, down into the Aarabah.
19. From there the boundary continued across the northern flank of Beth-hoglah and extended to the northern tip of the Salt Sea, at the southern end of the Jordan. This was the southern boundary.
20. The Jordan bounded it on the east. This was how the heritage of the clans of the Benjaminites was bounded on all sides.
21. Now the cities belonging to the clans of the tribe of the Benjaminites were: Jericho, Beth-hoglah, Emek-keziz,
22. Beth-arabah, Zemaraim, Bethel,
23. Avvim, Parah, Ophrah,
24. Chephar-ammoni, Ophni and Geba; twelve cities and their villages.
25. Also Gibeon, Ramah, Beeroth,
26. Mizpeh, Chephirah, Mozah,
27. Rekem, Irpeel, Taralah,
28. Zela, Haeleph, the Jebusite city (that is, Jerusalem), Gibeah and Kiriath; fourteen cities and their villages. This was the heritage of the clans of Benjaminites.

Advert For Freeman's Pudding Powder reverse
Medium: Print on paper
This is the reverse of the leaflet.
Pudding was a very important part of the meal in the Victorian era. The lower classes did not eat pudding very often and it was seen as a frivolous luxury that few could afford. Desserts such as cakes, plum puddings, trifles and jellies were very popular with the middle classes, as can be seen from the spread on the table. Because only milk and sugar needed to be added to the powder it was a very quick to make, was cheap and very easy, the advertisement even states 'A child can make them'.

Wikipedia defines a proverb as a simple and concrete saying, popularly known and repeated, that expresses a truth based on common sense or the practical experience of humanity. Usually passed down from generation to the next, an animal proverb demonstrates that basic human observations never really change. Most proverbs use animals to compare their behavior or likeness to a person.
Second son compiled a few of these amusing proverbs with photos and his own interpretation.

Small RNAs in Bacteria and Archaea: Who They Are, What They Do, and How They Do It
2015 (English)In: Advances in Genetics, Vol 90, Elsevier, 2015, 133-208 p.Chapter in book (Refereed)Text
Small RNAs are ubiquitously present regulators in all kingdoms of life. Most bacterial and archaeal small RNAs (sRNAs) act by antisense mechanisms on multiple target mRNAs, thereby globally affecting essentially any conceivable traitestress responses, adaptive metabolic changes, virulence etc. The sRNAs display many distinct mechanisms of action, most of them through effects on target mRNA translation and/or stability, and helper proteins like Hfq often play key roles. Recent data highlight the interplay between posttranscriptional control by sRNAs and transcription factor-mediated transcriptional control, and cross talk through mutual regulation of regulators. Based on the properties that distinguish sRNA-type from transcription factors-type control, we begin to glimpse why sRNAs have evolved as a second, essential layer of gene regulation. This review will discuss the prevalence of sRNAs, who they are, what biological roles they play, and how they carry out their functions.

Objective: Author's Note: The title of a book or play can suggest many things about the content. The objective of this lesson is for the students to analyze and evaluate the title of the play in order to develop some prior knowledge before they begin reading.
1) 1.) The class will begin with a brainstorming activity. The title, "Death and the King's Horseman" will appear on the board at the front of the class. The students will be told that this is the title of the play they are about to read. The students should shout out any ideas they have about the title that appears before them.
2.) The students should then engage in a think-pair-share activity with their neighbor. What do you believe to be the significance of the title before reading the actual play? Does the title seem foreboding?
3.) The students will then independently write an essay...

We use language every day to communicate with each other. But we rarely stop and consider the impact of our words. How can language improve sleep? Let’s explore that together.
When do I have to get up?
How often do you say this phrase? Maybe you wonder when you need to get up. Either way, you’re exhibiting a certain attitude toward sleep.
Using words like “need” or “have to” or “must” implies that getting up is some horrid obligation we have to do. In fact, many of us actually feel that way in the morning.
But what if you altered your language slightly? When do I GET to get up? That may sound crazy, but it’s not. You’re embracing a different attitude about waking up.
I must get some sleep
Similarly, we use “duty” language about going to bed. Sometimes it’s tough to put down work and get some sleep, but it’s important to do so.
What if you looked at bed time in a positive light? I want to go to sleep. That’s another subtle shift, but it can also invoke a different state of mind.
These are just two simple ways to change your sleep language. In doing so, you should be empowered. There’s no excuse to keep yourself at the mercy of the Sand Man.
Take control of your language. Take control of your sleep.
What do you think?
I’m curious what you guys think of this. Have I gone off the deep end? Does any of this resonate with you? Let’s share in the comments!

Green building is the practice of increasing the efficiency of buildings and their consumption of energy, water, and materials. Eco-building reduces construction damages to human health and the environment, without compromising on comfort or aesthetics.
Sustainable building does not require extensive resources. Natural building uses abundant, available, renewable, reused or recycled materials.
1. ‘Recycle’ existing old buildings rather than building new ones on more land.
2. Use materials that have a lower ‘embodied energy’ – i.e. use less energy in their production. For example, unfired bricks have lower embodied energy than fired bricks do.
3. Design the building with ‘passive solar’ features to keep it cooler in summer and warmer in winter. In houses and offices this will reduce or eliminate the need for air-conditioners.
4. Maximise natural lighting – this saves electricity (see video below).
5. Use renewable energy where financially feasible. For houses, a solar water heater is cost-effective and saves a substantial amount of cumulative electricity.
6. Choose local materials where feasible, in order to reduce transport environmental impacts.
7. Promote a healthy natural environment around and in the building, for example, by keeping paved surfaces to a minimum.
8. Ideally, choose a site that will minimise occupant travelling distances.
Source: Sustainable Projects
Sustainable building (see a related post) can be divided into two categories: building from scratch or ‘greening’ an existing building. It is not necessarily difficult (or expensive) to green an old building. Green building design is diverse and borrows from modern and ancient technology and ideas. In the case of rebuilding a dilapidated house or damaged building, substantial energy savings can be made by recycling building materials and making use of existing walls and foundations. As an example, even extensively fire-damaged buildings can be rebuilt. My grandparents’ 50-year old farmhouse near White River was virtually destroyed by a veldfire but most foundations and many steel window frames were reused when the house was rebuilt; it’ll probably last another 50 years. Greening a building can be done in stages according to financial and other considerations. Where water conservation is concerned, Water Rhapsody can offer simple water-saving toilet flush systems to more advanced grey water– and rainwater systems. Our service includes a free assessment and quote based on our recommendations and client requirements.

How would I go about learning how to code something like this:
I'd like to write a program, that when I run it, it opens up a website such as deviantart.com/username. locates the image on that page and downloads it to desktop. Basically c++ code that manipulates the computer as if someone is there, but without someone there. Is that possible? or do I need another language.
yea, the browser part isn't necessary. This seems kind of out of my skill level. but I'm guessing it might be better to look in to more web based languages to learn this.
thanks for the responses though.

The Youngest Navigator is based on a chapter from the Portuguese Chronicles telling of a voyage in 1446 down the coast of Africa. Prince Henry the Navigator is seeking a way around Africa, and sends Nuno Tristam in a caravel to make contact with the people of Guinea. They anchor in the Gambia River so the officers and crew can go up the river in longboats. Hostile natives attack them with poisoned arrows. Only the four teen-age boys left on the ship survive. Airas Tinoco, who has shadowed the navgiator on the southbound voyage, takes charge of the return voyage. To avoid sand bars and shoals along the coast, they must sail far out to sea against the prevailing winds. After two long months at sea, his companions think Airas has gotten them completely lost. Will they ever see Portugal again?

|Multiples of bytes|
|Orders of magnitude of data|
The tebibyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information. It is a member of the set of units with binary prefixes defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Its unit symbol is TiB.
The prefix tebi (symbol Ti) represents multiplication by 10244, therefore:
The tebibyte is closely related to the terabyte (TB), which is defined as 1012 bytes = 1000000000000bytes. It follows that one tebibyte (1 TiB) is approximately equal to 1.1 TB. In some contexts, the terabyte has been used as a synonym for tebibyte. (see Consumer confusion).

Welcome to the Lower School, where every day provides adventures in learning! In small, academically diverse classes, lower school teachers provide a warm and family-like setting where children feel safe to express themselves. Typically, classes are 10-14 students. Learning opportunities are found in every aspect of the lower school day—in classroom lessons, at recess, at lunch, in PE, and in social interactions. We focus on helping each child become a well-rounded, caring world citizen.
We begin every day with a group meeting. Students and teachers sing
songs, share announcements, and discuss common concerns and current
events. After morning meeting children disperse to self-contained
classrooms where academic classes are taught at various times during the
day. At 11:30 a.m. everyone reconvenes for Lower School lunch. This meal is
served family style with a teacher heading a table of seven or eight
Each student receives instruction daily in Language Arts (reading, creative writing, report writing, and spelling), mathematics, science, and social studies. Physical education and fine arts also are scheduled daily.
Each year during mini-term (the three weeks between Thanksgiving and our winter break) we, as a school, examine a common theme cross-curricularly. Mini-term projects, activities, speakers, and performers bring students of all grade levels together for shared experiences. Past mini-term themes include Japan, Oceans, Medieval Times, Puppetry, Diversity, and The Environment.

- The Elk is the second largest member of the deer
family with slender legs, a thick neck and is coloured
brown or tan with darker underparts. The antlers, only
grown by males, are large with many tines, the main
beam up to 150 cm long.
- The Elk occurs in high, open mountain pastures in
summer and lower, wooded slopes or dense woods in the
winter. They are most abundant along the western side
of the rockies but they also can be found near Golden,
Bush River, Forest Lake, Lucerne area, Seebach Creek,
Pear River area, and Tuchodi Lake area.
- This nocturnal creature is primarily a grazer feeding
on woody vegetation and lichen. Once the velvet of his
antlers has been discarded, the bull begins assembling
his harem of up to 60 cows. The gestation period is
255-275 days. The Elk's main predator is the mountain
lion and sometimes bears get the young.
Tracks - The track of an elk is larger and rounder
than that of a deer and somewhat rounder and smaller
than that of a moose. Look for blackened, rough bark
on aspen trees to distinguish the elks habitat.
Straddle: 20 cm (8 in)
Stride: 65 - 70 cm (26 - 28 in)
Track: 10 cm (4 in) long / 7.5 cm (3 in) wide

|Plant growing in an old wall in Thasos, Greece|
Antirrhinum majus (common snapdragon; often - especially in horticulture - simply "snapdragon") is a species of flowering plant belonging to the genus Antirrhinum. It is native to the Mediterranean region, from Morocco and Portugal north to southern France, and east to Turkey and Syria. The common name "snapdragon", originates from the flowers' reaction to having their throats squeezed, which causes the "mouth" of the flower to snap open like a dragon's mouth.
It is an herbaceous perennial plant, growing to 0.5–1 m tall, rarely up to 2 m. The leaves are spirally arranged, broadly lanceolate, 1–7 cm long and 2-2.5 cm broad. The flowers are produced on a tall spike, each flower is 3.5-4.5 cm long, zygomorphic, with two 'lips' closing the corolla tube; wild plants have pink to purple flowers, often with yellow lips. The fruit is an ovoid capsule 10–14 mm diameter, containing numerous small seeds. The plants are pollinated by bumblebees, and the flowers close over the insects when they enter and deposit pollen on their bodies.
- Antirrhinum majus subsp. majus. Southern France, northeast Spain.
- Antirrhinum majus subsp. cirrhigerum (Ficalho) Franco. Southern Portugal, southwest Spain.
- Antirrhinum majus subsp. linkianum (Boiss. & Reut.) Rothm. Western Portugal (endemic).
- Antirrhinum majus subsp. litigiosum (Pau) Rothm. Southeastern Spain.
- Antirrhinum majus subsp. tortuosum (Bosc) Rouy. Throughout the species' range.
Cultivation and uses
Though perennial, the species is often cultivated as a biennial or annual plant, particularly in colder areas where it may not survive the winter. Numerous cultivars are available, including plants with lavender, orange, pink, yellow, or white flowers, and also plants with peloric flowers, where the normal flowering spike is topped with a single large, symmetrical flower.
The trailing (creeping) variety is often referred to as A. majus pendula (syn. A. pendula, A. repens).
In the laboratory it is a model organism, for example containing the gene DEFICIENS which provides the letter "D" in the acronym MADS-box for a family of genes which are important in plant development.

Schlumbergera russelliana (W. J. Hooker) Britton & Rose 1913
Epiphyllum russelianum W. J. Hooker 1839
Phyllocactus russellianus (W. J. Hooker) Salm-Dyck 1845
Schlumbergera epiphylloides Lemaire 1858
Christmas cactus, named for blooming in December and January, has been a popular house plant since the 1800s. It is native to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, at elevations of 4593-6890' (1.4-2.1 km); it is not found in the wild in North America. Extensively cultivated, many varieties exist—those shown here are cultivars.
Identification: Members of Schlumbergera are epiphytes—plants that grow on other plants (such as trees), without harming their hosts. While most cacti have tubular stem segments or “Mickey Mouse” ears, these have flattened segments called cladodes, about ⅜-1½" (1-3.8 cm) × ¼-¾" (8-20 mm), and about ⅛" (3.2 mm) thick. The segments lack true spines, though they usually have two spinelike protrusions on both sides of each segment. They are light to deep green, or burgundy in color. The pink bell-shaped, hanging flowers are about 1¾" (5 cm) long and 1-1½" (3-4 cm) in diameter. In cultivated varieties, flowers may be larger, and may be red, magenta, white, salmon, or orange. Fruits are approximately round, and greenish yellow.

Behavioral Health Technician
Support psychiatric patients in their daily tasks.
Nursing is hard work, and there are lots of things a Nurse needs to keep an eye on to help a patient improve. Good thing they have the Patient Care Technician to help out.
A Patient Care Technician works under the supervision and direction of Registered Nurses, doing anything they need done. This means your daily responsibilities as a Patient Care Technician can range from the mundane (like cleaning or feeding patients) to the more complex (like drawing blood or giving EKGs).
You can find work anywhere that Nurses are employed. For example, you might work in a hospital, nursing home, assisted living facility, or clinic. Consequently, there are also lots of options when it comes to the types of patients you want to help.
This job is a sort of stepping stone between the Nursing Aide and Registered Nurse positions. You have some education that lets you take part in different medical procedures. But for the most part, you do the jobs that no one else wants to do.
You spend your days catering to patients and their needs. You answer patient calls; feed, clothe, and bathe them; make beds; and help patients walk around. You also get to take and monitor vital signs, help with exams, set up rooms before procedures, and observe patients when they do their rehab activities.
If this sounds a lot like a Patient Care Associate, you’re not far off. The two jobs are close and sometimes used interchangeably. The big difference is as a Technician, you go through more training and are given more medically difficult jobs.

Plantation forests are grown to supply wood and to provide environmental benefits, such as waste disposal, rehabilitation of degraded sites, enhancement of regional biodiversity and reduction of logging in native forests. In a highly readable fashion, this book describes the scientific principles which are used throughout the world to ensure rapid, healthy plantation growth. It is written for a world-wide audience, from forestry professionals and scientists through to small plantation growers, to describe how plantations may be grown responsibly and profitably.... the equation they developed for slash pine was: S = a3.8+0.1075R Wa0.0612 RCa0.0000314R W2+0.0000983RC2 ... These equations indicate that slash pine generally grows faster than any of the other three species; wherever the coolanbsp;...

Take a Journey of Discovery with RXTE - Classroom Activity
Distances in Space
There are many units of distance that are used to measure astronomical distances.
The distance light travels in one year is called a light year. We use light years to describe the distances of nearby stars. A parsec is 3.26 light years. Astronomers use this unit of distance more frequently than the light year. Far away black holes and even more distant galaxies are kiloparsecs away. "Kilo" means 1000, so a kiloparsec is 1000 parsecs. The Galactic Center is about 8 kiloparsecs away.

Engineers rely on Groover because of the bookas quantitative and engineering-oriented approach that provides more equations and numerical problem exercises. The fourth edition introduces more modern topics, including new materials, processes and systems. End of chapter problems are also thoroughly revised to make the material more relevant. Several figures have been enhanced to significantly improve the quality of artwork. All of these changes will help engineers better understand the topic and how to apply it in the field.The first grinding wheels were likely cut out of sandstone and were no doubt rotated under manual power. ... Cubic boron nitride (cBN), second only to diamond in hardness, was first synthesized in 1957 by GE using a similar process to that foranbsp;...

The final addition to Acorn’s Archimedes family of personal computers, released in April 1994. The RiscPC allowed a second processor, e.g. an Intel 486 or a second ARM, to share the bus, memory and peripherals with the main processor. It also had full 24-bit colour graphics support.
The Risc PC 600 (the first to be launched) had the new ARM600 processor and RISC OS 3.5. The RiscPC 700 had an ARM710 processor and RISC OS 3.6, and the SA had the StrongARM processor and RISC OS 3.7.
Castle Technology Ltd later introduced the IYONIX pc with the 32-bit X-Scale processor and USB sockets. USB and StrongArm can also be retrofitted to earlier RiscPCs.
RiscPCs are among the most energy efficient home computers.

The Sunflower is an annual plant native to the Americas that possess a large inflorescence (flowering head). The sunflower got its name from its huge fiery blooms, whose shape and image is often used to depict the sun. The sunflower has a rough, hairy stem, broad, coarsely toothed, rough leaves and circular heads of flowers. The heads consist of 1,000-2,000 individual flowers joined together by a receptacle base.
For more floral images please stop by my portfolio, thank you.

Significance to Humans:Weakly venomous
Not considered dangerous to humans. All crowned snakes are reluctant biters, relying more on bluff display than bite. They are weakly venomous and have tiny mouths and short fangs. They will generally rear up & 'mock strike' with mouth closed, more of a 'head butt'. If bitten, as with any snake bite, apply correct first aid and seek medical attention.
General description:Very small snake, with small eyes. Body generally dark steely-grey to black above, belly creamy-yellow with thin, dark cross-bands. 'Crown' is a narrow (usually only 2 to 3 scale width), cream or white collar on nape of neck which extends forward along sides of head, sometimes to end of snout. Nape band narrower than White Crowned, & area enclosed within crown larger & not such a distinct 'patch'. Midbody scales at 15 rows.
Average Length:25cm. Individuals have been measured up to 35cm
Habitat in SE Qld:Coastal, only found to east of Great Dividing range. Rainforest and sheltered moist areas within open forest eg; creek lines amongst litter, rocks etc.
General habits:Secretive, nocturnal, terrestrial snake. Hunts small skinks in leaf-litter at night. Shelters by day in moist litter, under rocks, logs and bark.
Local distribution:Appears restricted to moist suburbs and localities.
Around the home:Under most ground detritus such as compost, logs and stones in well-vegetated gardens.

Nutritional Value of Raspberries and Grapes. Before knowing the nutritional value of raspberry, we first became acquainted with raspberries. Raspberry is a small fruit such as strawberries with red color. With sweet flavor made raspberry highly favored by children.
For more information on raspberry, please refer to our article: Health benefits of raspberry.
Nutritional Value of Raspberries
The content of vitamins in raspberry
The fruit is packed with vitamin A and vitamin C. In addition to the two types of vitamins also contain small amounts of thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, pantothenic acid, and folate. The nutritional value of this makes the raspberry very hunted for health.
The number of calories in raspberry
Raspberry fruit including fruit with a high content of calories. In 100 grams of raspberries contains about 180 cals. While calories from fat only 8. With a number like this, raspberry still very healthy to eat.
Raspberry for health benefits
People who experience inflammation and pain very well consume raspberry. Raspberry fruit also prevents the development of cancer, prevent cell damage, membranes cell and inhibit the growth of tumors in many parts of the body.
Not only that but the health benefits of raspberries also inhibit the risk of heart disease and prevent premature aging. Consuming raspberries regularly can protect tissue damage due to oxidation.
Nutritional Value of Grapes
Before getting to know and find out how many nutrients in the grapes, we must first know the fruit as well. The grapes are shaped into small pieces with 90% water content therein. The grapes have a variety of types such as black grapes, green grapes, red grapes and others.
For more details about the grapes, please refer to our article on “7 health benefits of grapes“.
Nutrition facts of grapes
Grape contains a lot of potassium and contains some calcium and phosphorus. Grape also contains iron, copper, magnesium, sodium, selenium, and zinc in small quantities.
Vitamins in Grapes
Vitamin A and vitamin C is the most common in the grapes fruits. It also contains thiamin, vitamin B6, vitamin E, niacin, riboflavin, folate, and pantothenic acidic in small amounts. This vitamin value makes grapes fruits magnificent for boosting human health.
The calorie content of grapes
The calorie content in grapes is similar to the raspberry that is 183 grams in every 100 grams of grapes. Of course, this is a bit more than the raspberry. While calories from fat just 6 are smaller than raspberries.
The benefits of wine for health
Various health benefits can be found in grapes. Among its benefits are as a prophylactic migraine, constipation, stomach irritation.
The health benefits of grapes are also useful in warding renal impairment as well as the possibility of a heart attack. The grape is similar to bananas from one side, which can provide instant energy. Grapes benefits that very surprising can prevent breast cancer and colorectal cancer.

You can add query columns to the table by Drag and Drop and insert columns to calculate ratios and evaluate statistical significance. For example, the last column in the table above shows the proportion in ICE-GB of utterances of ‘pretty/ier/iest’ made by male participants.
You can also organise the lexicon and contract the hierarchy to view statistics at an appropriate level of generality. The table below shows baseline statistics for different parts of speech for words starting with ‘work’.
Tables of statistics can be exported to disk and imported into spreadsheet programs.
Corpus Map tables can be used to explore whether sociolinguistic variation predict other changes. Lexicon and grammaticon tables, like these here, can be used to see if lexical or grammatical alternation can predict sociolinguistic variation (a kind of 'stylistic' prediction).
Note: If you want to explore whether one lexico-grammatical choice interacts with another, then ICECUP's tables are not a good method. Instead, you should use the methods outlined for Grammatical predictors in the FTF experiments webpages.

Independent Sedimentological Studies on Fluvial and Lacustrine Sediments from the Gray Fossil Site Sinkhole, Northeastern TN
Nine sand layers are concentrated at the base of the core, and were analyzed by standard grain size and textural techniques. Results indicate that the sands are quartz dominated and exhibit a clay coating of kaolinite and illite. The quartz grains are frosted, well rounded, and well sorted. The surfaces of chert grains (>0.5 mm fraction) exhibit rhombic voids, indicative of the dolomolds found in the upper Conococheague Formation (Cambrian) and throughout the lower Chepultepec Formation (Ordovician). Additionally, well-rounded, frosted grains are also found in these Formations, and indicate a local source <2 km to the southeast. The rounding and sorting of these grains occurred during Cambro-Ordovician deposition and therefore cannot be used as a proxy for transport distance to the Gray Fossil Site in the Tertiary.
Microlaminations are the predominant feature of the fine-scale fraction (0.5 mm to ~5 mm). To better understand their origin, compositional maps of several small, oriented sediment blocks were produced. Using EDAX Genesis software, several elements were mapped (e.g., Fe, Si, Ca) but the only observable pattern was an enrichment of iron and a coincident depletion in silicon. Despite the visible presence of laminations, no other compositional differences can yet explain their existence. We expect that a map of carbon distribution within these sediments will yield a correlation, and if present, would suggest that the laminations record a change in lake chemistry (e.g., oxidizing and/or reducing conditions that affect carbon preservation).
