    Tea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 03-11-09 12:04 Tea From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Tea is the agricultural product of the leaves, leaf buds, and internodes of the Camellia sinensis plant, prepared and cured by various methods. "Tea" also refers to the aromatic beverage prepared from the cured leaves by combination with hot or boiling water,[1] and is the common name for the Camellia sinensis plant itself. After water, tea is the most widely-consumed beverage in the world.[2] It has a cooling, slightly bitter, astringent flavour which many enjoy.[3] The four types of tea most commonly found on the market are black tea, oolong tea, green tea and white tea,[4] all of which can be made from the same bushes, processed differently, and in the case of fine white tea grown differently. Pu-erh tea, a post-fermented tea, is also often classified as amongst the most popular types of tea.[5] Green Tea leaves in a Chinese The term "herbal tea" usually refers to an infusion or tisane of gaiwan. leaves, flowers, fruit, herbs or other plant material that contains no Camellia sinensis.[6] The term "red tea" either refers to an infusion made from the South African rooibos plant, also containing no Camellia sinensis, or, in Chinese, Korean, Japanese and other East Asian languages, refers to black tea.

    Field Trips Guide Book for Photographers Revised 2008 a Publication of the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs

    Field Trips Guide Book for Photographers Revised 2008 A publication of the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs Copyright 2008. All rights reserved. May not be reproduced or copied in any manner whatsoever. 1 Preface This field trips guide book has been written by Dave Carter and Ed Funk of the Northern Virginia Photographic Society, NVPS. Both are experienced and successful field trip organizers. Joseph Miller, NVPS, coordinated the printing and production of this guide book. In our view, field trips can provide an excellent opportunity for camera club members to find new subject matter to photograph, and perhaps even more important, to share with others the love of making pictures. Photography, after all, should be enjoyable. The pleasant experience of an outing together with other photographers in a picturesque setting can be stimulating as well as educational. It is difficullt to consistently arrange successful field trips, particularly if the club's membership is small. We hope this guide book will allow camera club members to become more active and involved in field trip activities. There are four camera clubs that make up the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs McLean, Manassas-Warrenton, Northern Virginia and Vienna. All of these clubs are located within 45 minutes or less from each other. It is hoped that each club will be receptive to working together to plan and conduct field trip activities. There is an enormous amount of work to properly arrange and organize many field trips, and we encourage the field trips coordinator at each club to maintain close contact with the coordinators at the other clubs in the Alliance and to invite members of other clubs to join in the field trip.

Maryland first celebrated its founding in 1834 and has continued to do so in 50 year intervals. The pattern for celebrating thus established, Maryland was ready as 1984 approached to look back with pride on 350 years of political, social and cultural achievement. As in previous an- niversaries, the celebration of the past became an affirmation of the future. To prepare the state for its 1984 celebration, the 1982 General Assembly of Maryland passed a resolution (Appendix i) creating the 350 Coordinating Com- mittee which subsequently became the Maryland Heritage Committee.

  • Cold Spring Bridge Project

    Cold Spring Bridge Project

    STAFF REPORT SUBJECT: Cold Spring Bridge Project MEETING DATE: October 16, 2008 AGENDA ITEM: 9 STAFF CONTACT: Jim Kemp, Steve VanDenburgh RECOMMENDATION: A. Hold a public hearing on Caltrans’ Cold Spring Bridge Suicide Barrier project B. Provide direction to staff SUMMARY: At its August 21 meeting, the SBCAG board voted to agendize a public hearing on the Cold Spring Bridge Suicide Barrier Project at the request of Friends of the Bridge, a group opposed to the barrier project. The purpose of the hearing is for the board to receive public input and discuss the advisability of expressing the board’s opinion on the project to Caltrans. Separate public meetings were held by Caltrans during the draft EIR public review period which closed on June 23. Caltrans is the lead agency for the project and is funding the project with SHOPP highway safety program funding. No SBCAG funding is being used and SBCAG’s approval is not required for the project to proceed. Following the hearing the board may wish to reaffirm its support for the project, communicate an alternative opinion or take no action at all. DISCUSSION: Since 1963, when the Cold Spring Bridge was built, 46 people have committed suicide by jumping from the bridge. In 2005, a project task force was created by Caltrans to aid it in evaluating options for deterring suicides from the bridge. Among the members of the task force are SBCAG staff, the CHP, the Sherriff’s Department, Assemblyman Pedro Nava’s office, various agencies or departments of the Santa Barbara County government, and The Glendon Association, a private, non-profit involved in mental health issues.
