General Pollination Tour POLLINATION TOUR PLANTS FOR MAY-JUNE GARDEN PLANT AND POLLINATOR SECTION SIERRA NEVADA Poppy (Eschscholzia californica)—many places in the Sierra SECTION (and Nevada, Sea Bluff, and Desert sections elsewhere in the Pollinated by BEES, including bumblebees. You can often hear and garden) see bumblebees do buzz pollination in poppies: they make a higher-pitched buzz inside the flowers as they vibrate their flight muscles without moving their wings. This shakes pollen onto their hairy bodies, where it sticks in the way that things stick by static electricity. Bees can only see a few colors: blue, purple, yellow, and ultraviolet (we can’t see this color). But sometimes they can see other colors that have blue or yellow in them, like orange (poppies). Ask the students what colors you can mix to make orange. FLOWER Flower dissesction activity: DISSECTION Pick a flower for each student or pair of students) and ACTIVITY yourself. Sit down on the lawn or other comfortable place with students. First have students look at and feel petals. Then have students gently pull off the petals and save them in a pile. Look at the stamens attached to the petals (on many other types of flowers, the stamens don’t come off wtih the petals, and on poppies, some stamens may still be attached to the central stem). Look at the stamens left on the central stem with their yellow- orange pollen, then gently pull them off, being careful not to pull off the stigma in the center. Look at the 3-branched stigma attached to the central stem. Explain how pollination is the transfer of pollen from the stamen to the stigma, and how that starts the process of seed formation that will eventually produce a new plant. 1 SIERRA NEVADA Western spice bush (Calycanthus occidentalis) SECTION Pollinated by BEETLES Have the students smell a flower and say what they think it smells like before you tell them the rest. Spicebush has an open flower form with the scent of fermenting fruit. Flower color is not important because beetles use their sense of smell to find flowers. Beetles are attracted to rotting things because they lay their eggs in them--their larvae eat the rotting things when they hatch. GENERAL FEEDING: Beetles will eat their way through petals and other floral INFORMATION parts. They even defecate within flowers, earning them the nickname ABOUT BEETLES “mess and soil” pollinators. SIERRA NEVADA Fremontia/flannelbush (Fremontodendron californicum ‘Margo’) SECTION on the left outside the door to Joe Dahl’s office in the Potting Shed/Lodge Pollinated by BEES: yellow flower color that bees can see, and sweet nectar inside the flower that they eat. SIERRA NEVADA Monkeyflower (Mimulus sp.) outside Potting Shed/Lodge (and SECTION (and various other places in the garden) other places in the Many monkeyflowers are pollinated by BEES. garden) The stigma looks like a duck’s bill, with pollen-receptive surfaces on the inside. The stigma closes quickly after being touched a couple of times (e.g., as pollinator enters flower), this allows pollen from a different flower to be deposited on the stigma as the bee enters the flower, but prevents pollen from the same flower being deposited on the stigma as the bee comes out of the flower. ACTIVITY: Have students touch the open stigma gently with a small stick STIGMA and watch it close. (Look at the flowers first to find those with RESPONSE open stigmas.) SIERRA NEVADA Iris (Iris douglasiana and other species) SECTION Pollinated by BEES: Purple flower color attracts bees (some irises are yellow, which is another good color for bees to see). The lines on the petals show bees the way to get inside the flower, where the pollen and nectar are located. These lines are called nectar guides. 2 SEA BLUFF Lupine (Lupinus species) SECTION Pollinated by BEES (fragrant flower; upper (“banner”) petal changes color from white to pink, which is hard for bees to see, after pollination) ACTIVITY: Ask students to look at flowers to see which ones have been FLOWER COLOR pollinated (by the color of their upper (banner) petal AND POLLINATION ACTIVITY: Weight of bee on lower petals (“keel”) pops out reproductive parts, FINDING THE which deposit and pick up pollen from the bee’s body REPRODUCTIVE Ask students to gently press down on keel to see how the stamens PARTS and stigma pop out DESERT Prickly pear cactus (Opuntia) SECTION Pollinated by BEES Stamens move toward stigma when touched --tightly clustered stamens gets more pollen on the body of a pollinator that pushes its way to the center of the flower ACTIVITY: TOUCH STAMENS WITH This is for the docent, not the 1st graders to do (unless you have a STICK really calm and well-behaved group). While the students watch, use a small stick to gently touch the stamens and then see how they move to the center of the flower. PRECAUTIONS Be careful that the students don’t get their eyes or other body parts WITH KIDS AND close to the spines! CACTI 3 DESERT SECTION Wooly blue curls (Trichostema lanatum)—might not have flowers in April Pollinated by HUMMINGBIRDS; anthers and stigma contact top of bird’s head Flower has long tube, bright color, no landing platform ACTIVITY: While the other students watch, have one student try being a POLLINATION hummingbird by holding a pine needle or thin stick (the beak) SIMULATION WITH between his or her thumb and forefinger (the head), and stick PINE NEEDLE AND the beak into the flower to see where the anthers and stigma hit FINGERS the bird (on the top of the head). A hummingbird’s beak is about 3/4 of an inch long. SENSES: Hummingbirds apparently have no sense of smell GENERAL HOW THEY EAT: INFORMATION Feed in many small meals, consuming many small insects (caught in flight 4 ABOUT usually by opening beak extra wide) and up to twelve times their HUMMINGBIRDS own body weight in nectar each day. That’s like a 1st grader eating eating 600 pounds of food a day! Spend an average of 10–15% of their time feeding and 75–80% sitting and digesting Because of their high metabolic rate, hummingbirds visit up to 1,000 flowers/day (feed every 10-15 minutes through the day) Tongue is grooved in the shape of a "W" and forked at the end with tiny ACTIVITY: hairs on the tip. Nectar is pulled into the grooves in the tongue (not MOVING TONGUE sucked). Retracting tongue brings nectar into throat. Hummers LIKE A extend and retract their tongues 3 to 13 times persecond: Ask the HUMMINGBIRD students to try this! FLYING: ACTIVITY: Wings can beat 70x/second: Try this! MOVING ARMS “Hummingbirds can remain still in space by moving their wings in a figure- LIKE A eight pattern (try this!), enabling them to remain stationary in the HUMMINGBIRD’S air, hovering in front of flowers as they feed on nectar. In fact, hummingbirds are more maneuverable than helicopters.” Try WINGS flapping in a figure 8. Hummingbird is the only bird able to fly backwards! BUNCHGRASS Soap plant (Chloragalum pomeridianum)—flowers may not have MEADOW and formed yet in late April. elsewhere in the Pollinated by large bees--bumblebees, carpenter bees, & honeybees; Santa Lucia section wasps, other bees, hummingbirds, moths visit but are not of the garden effective pollinators White flowers (that are not fragrant) Flowers open in late afternoon There is only a small window of time in which the flowers of soap plant can be pollinated, since the flowers open for only a few hours on only one day. They open rapidly in the late afternoon, produce nectar, and fall apart some 6 to 8 hours later, whether pollination takes place or not. 5 .

  • Leading the Walking Dead: Portrayals of Power and Authority
    LEADING THE WALKING DEAD: PORTRAYALS OF POWER AND AUTHORITY IN THE POST-APOCALYPTIC TELEVISION SHOW by Laura Hudgens A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School at Middle Tennessee State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Mass Communication August 2016 Thesis Committee: Dr. Katherine Foss, Chair Dr. Jane Marcellus Dr. Jason Reineke ii ABSTRACT This multi-method analysis examines how power and authority are portrayed through the characters in The Walking Dead. Five seasons of the show were analyzed to determine the characteristics of those in power. Dialogue is important in understanding how the leaders came to power and how they interact with the people in the group who have no authority. The physical characteristics of the leaders were also examined to better understand who was likely to be in a position of power. In the episodes in the sample, leaders fit into a specific demographic. Most who are portrayed as having authority over the others are Caucasian, middle-aged men, though other characters often show equivalent leadership potential. Women are depicted as incompetent leaders and vulnerable, and traditional gender roles are largely maintained. Findings show that male conformity was most prevalent overall, though instances did decrease over the course of five seasons. Instances of female nonconformity increased over time, while female conformity and male nonconformity remained relatively level throughout. ii iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES ..............................................................................................................v

ISBN 9781350115613 Downloaded from: https://e-space.mmu.ac.uk/624730/ Version: Accepted Version Publisher: Bloomsbury Please cite the published version https://e-space.mmu.ac.uk CHAPTER MOTHERHOOD, DOMESTICITY AND NURTURE IN THE POST-APOCALYPTIC WORLD: NEGOTIATING FEMININITY IN THE WALKING DEAD (AMC, 2010-) Marta Suarez The Walking Dead is a post-apocalyptic series that deals with the collapse of civilisation and its aftermath, following the spread of a virus that raises the dead and transforms them into predatory hunters of flesh. The narrative follows Rick Grimes, a deputy from a small town in Georgia. Having been in a coma during the outbreak, he wakes up to find walkers1 roaming the streets. He joins some survivors, reunites with his family and eventually becomes the leader of the group (S1E3). It is during this initial reunion that we are introduced to the first of the female characters discussed in this chapter, Carol. The second, Maggie, is introduced at the start of the second season when Rick arrives at her father’s farm (S2E2). The third character, Michonne, appears briefly at the end of S2, with a more extended introduction at the start of S3. The three are the longest-surviving female characters and are still alive at the time I am writing2. All three evolved from a pre-outbreak life connected to domestic spaces and distanced from acts of killing to a post-outbreak life as warriors and protectors of the group.

  • Quit Worrying!Look at the Flowers!
    LESSON: WHAT CAN FLOWERS TELL US ABOUT GOD? QUIT WORRYING! LOOK AT THE FLOWERS! Granted, looking at flowers can put anyone in a better mood. Your students will learn that most worries are not worth having, as Jesus points out, with an analogy involving flowers. This lesson using a bouquet, that can be store-bought or picked from your backyard, will help kids think of the great verses in Luke 12 when they start to worry about something. Materials • Bouquet of flowers, picked from your garden or purchased in the supermarket • Play dough • Sharp object such as a pen or car key Preparation 1. Roll the play dough into a ball. 2. Using the sharp object, put eyes, nose, a smile, and girl’s hair on it. 3. Put the ball in front of you on the lesson table along with the bouquet. Lesson Hold up the ball of clay. Meet Leeza. Leeza is having a very bad summer. She just moved. Pat Leeza’s head. She left all her friends and her soccer buddies back in her old state. She doesn’t have any friends yet in her neighborhood. Two girls came by who were just her age, but instead of stopping, they just stared and kept walking. She’s lonely. Her old church had a massive Sunday school, and half her school class was in church with her on Sundays. In her new town, the church is very small. There are no other sixth graders in the class, and only two fifth graders. Both are boys. In Leeza’s voice, as you pick up Leeza and shake her a little like a puppet: “My mom always says, when you’re feeling bad, look at the flowers.
