    Department of Planning and Zoning Subject: Howard County Landscape Manual Updates: Recommended Street Tree List (Appendix B) and Recommended Plant List (Appendix C) - Effective July 1, 2010 To: DLD Review Staff Homebuilders Committee From: Kent Sheubrooks, Acting Chief Division of Land Development Date: July 1, 2010 Purpose: The purpose of this policy memorandum is to update the Recommended Plant Lists presently contained in the Landscape Manual. The plant lists were created for the first edition of the Manual in 1993 before information was available about invasive qualities of certain recommended plants contained in those lists (Norway Maple, Bradford Pear, etc.). Additionally, diseases and pests have made some other plants undesirable (Ash, Austrian Pine, etc.). The Howard County General Plan 2000 and subsequent environmental and community planning publications such as the Route 1 and Route 40 Manuals and the Green Neighborhood Design Guidelines have promoted the desirability of using native plants in landscape plantings. Therefore, this policy seeks to update the Recommended Plant Lists by identifying invasive plant species and disease or pest ridden plants for their removal and prohibition from further planting in Howard County and to add other available native plants which have desirable characteristics for street tree or general landscape use for inclusion on the Recommended Plant Lists. Please note that a comprehensive review of the street tree and landscape tree lists were conducted for the purpose of this update, however, only

    Interview with Darrol Blake by Dave Welsh on Tuesday the 21st of September 2010 Dave Welsh: Okay, this is an interview with Darrol Blake on Tuesday the 21st of September 2010, for the Britain at Work Project, West London, West Middlesex. Darrol, I wonder if you'd mind starting by saying how you got into this whole business. Darrol Blake: Well, I'd always wanted to be the man who made the shows, be it for theatre or film or whatever, and this I decided about the age of eleven or twelve I suppose, and at that time I happened to win a scholarship to grammar school, in West London, in Hanwell, and formed my own company within the school, I was in school plays and all that sort of thing, so my life revolved around putting on shows. Nobody in my family had ever been to university, so I assumed that when I got to sixteen I was going out to work. I didn't even assume I would go into the sixth form or anything. So when I did get to sixteen I wrote around to all the various places that I thought might employ me. Ealing Studios were going strong at that time, Harrow Coliseum had a rep. The theatre at home in Hayes closed on me. I applied for a job at Windsor Rep, and quite by the way applied to the BBC, and the only people who replied were the BBC, and they said we have vacancies for postroom boys, office messengers, and Radio Times clerks.

Harris County will fund projects that both acquire and rehabilitate foreclosed upon and abandoned properties as well as create programs to help low- moderate- and middle- income individuals create equity to achieve home ownership. After years of steady growth in home prices resulting from low interest rates and creative financing, foreclosures and mortgage delinquencies began to rise in 2007. In the Harris County area, the foreclosures rose to 4.3 percent or 32,666 foreclosures by mid-2008 from 3.0 percent in 2006. This percentage is slightly lower than the national rate of 4.8 percent. The major causes for the increase in foreclosures are subprime lending practices, overextended speculators and over zealous financial institutions. The majority of Harris County&rsquos foreclosures are occurring adjacent to Beltway 8 in expanding and new subdivisions and where homebuyers need creative financing to overcome bad credit and high debt ratios.

  • NATURAL DURABILITY of Cedrus Atlantica WOOD RELATED to the BIOACTIVITY of ITS ESSENTIAL OIL AGAINST WOOD DECAYING FUNGI
    ISSN impresa 0717-3644 Maderas. Ciencia y tecnología 18(4): 567 - 576, 2016 ISSN online 0718-221X DOI: 10.4067/S0718-221X2016005000049 NATURAL DURABILITY OF Cedrus atlantica WOOD RELATED TO THE BIOACTIVITY OF ITS ESSENTIAL OIL AGAINST WOOD DECAYING FUNGI Abdelwahed Fidah1,4,♠, Noura Salhi1, Mohamed Rahouti1, Bousselham Kabouchi2, Mohsine Ziani3,Mohamed Aberchane4, Abderrahim Famiri4 ABSTRACT The Atlas cedar, Cedrus atlantica is a resinous species of Pinaceae originated from North Africa and well known for its noble timber. This work was conducted to assess the natural durability of its wood, to study the chemical composition of essential oil extracted from its sawdust wood and to test the bioactivity of this essential oil against four wood decaying fungi: Gloeophyllum trabeum, Oligoporus placenta, Coniophora puteana and Trametes versicolor. The assessment of natural durability of wood was conducted according to the methods described in the European standards, CEN/TS 15083-1 and NF EN 350-1. Mass losses of wood specimens, after 16 weeks of exposure to fungi attack, in laboratory test, showed that Cedrus atlantica wood is very durable to durable against wood decay fungi attack. The extraction of essential oil from sawdust by hydro-distillation yielded about 3,35% and the chemical analysis of this essential oil by GC-MS showed that E-γ-Atlantone (19,73%); E-α- Atlantone (16,86%), 5-Isocedranol (11,68%); 9-iso-Thujopsanone (4,45%); Cedranone (4,13%) and Z α- Atlantone (4,02%) were the main major identified components. The antifungal activity tested by the direct contact technique on agar medium showed a strong inhibition of wood decaying fungi, especially Gloeophyllum trabeum inhibited at 1/1000 v/v concentration.

Trade and use of medicinal tars in Europe and North America is restricted due to potential carcinogenicity. The only presently allowed uses are as a fragrance substance in cosmetics. This study carried out semi-structured interviews with producers, herbalists and traditional midwives/healers (ferraga) in the High Atlas mountains of Morocco, to assess saliency of use, what species are used and how medicinal tar is used in the Marrakesh region. We found that Juniperus phoenicea and Juniperus oxycedrus are used most frequently for tar production. Frequent trade was reported by retailers, and the traditional herbal intermediaries (both herbalists and ferraga) report that tar is used most commonly for hair care, skin diseases and fumigation.

    Style I’m in ‘Spotlight’, but it’s not really about me. It’s about the power of journalism. Oscars 2016: Red carpet fashion “You're damn right Hollywood is racist. Hollywood is sorority racist. It’s like, ‘We like you, Rhonda, but you’re not a Kappa.’” Chris Rock during his Oscars monologue By Martin Baron February 24 Martin Baron, then-editor of the Boston Globe, toasts reporters after the newspaper was honored as a recipient of a Pulitzer Prize on April 7, 2003. The Globe was awarded a Pulitzer for public service for its coverage of the church abuse scandal that rocked the Boston archdiocese. (Charles Krupa/Associated Press) Most years I try to stay attentive, or at least awake, through the Academy Awards. Most years I fail. On Sunday, however, fatigue has an overwhelming counterweight — obvious self-interest. Plus, I will be sitting inside the Dolby Theatre. “Spotlight” brought to the big screen the first six months of a Boston Globe investigation that in 2002 revealed a decades-long coverup of serial sexual abuse by priests within the Boston Archdiocese. Liev Schreiber portrays me as the newly arrived top editor who launched that investigation, and his depiction has me as a stoic, humorless, somewhat dour character that many professional colleagues instantly recognize (“He nailed you”) and that my closest friends find not entirely familiar. The scandal disclosed by the Globe’s Spotlight investigative team ultimately took on worldwide dimensions. Fourteen years later, the Catholic Church continues to answer for how it concealed grave wrongdoing on a massive scale and for the adequacy of its reforms, as it should.
