Therefore, the effect of a weed is difficult to quantify because it depends on our personal biases. • Definitions and classifications in ecology are often arbitrary and made for purely prac- tical reasons. They do not necessarily reflect any innate structure of nature. • Ecology can be studied at a variety of levels. In this book, we focus on population and community ecology. • Weed ecology provides a basic understanding of the distribution and abundance of weeds in natural and managed systems. In the long term, it may change our attitudes and perceptions towards weeds and alter the way we manage them.

  • Laurie LAURIE by Stephen King 1 Six Months After His Wife of Forty Years
    Laurie LAURIE By Stephen King 1 Six months after his wife of forty years died, Lloyd Sunderland’s sister drove from Boca Raton to Caymen Key to visit him. She brought with her a dark gray puppy which she said was a Border Collie-Mudi mix. Lloyd had no idea what a Mudi was, and didn’t care. “I don’t want a dog, Beth. A dog is the last thing in the world I want. I can barely take care of myself.” “That’s obvious,” she said, unhooking the puppy’s toy-sized leash. “How much weight have you lost?” “I don’t know.” She appraised him. “I’d say fifteen pounds. Which you could afford to give, but not much more. I’m going to make you a sausage scramble. With toast. You’ve got eggs?” “I don’t want a sausage scramble,” Lloyd said, eyeing the dog. It was sitting on the white shag carpet, and he wondered how long it would be before it left a calling card there. The carpet needed a good vacuum and probably a shampoo, but at least it had never been peed on. The dog was looking at him with its amber eyes. Almost seeming to study him. “Do you or do you not have eggs?” “Yes, but—” 2 “And sausage? No, of course not. You’ve probably been living on frozen waffles and Campbell’s soup. I’ll get some at Publix. But first I’ll inventory your fridge and see what else you need.” She was his older sister by five years, had mostly raised him after their mother died, and as a child he had never been able to stand against her.

Abstract When Netflix launched in April 1998, Internet video was in its infancy. Eighteen years later, Netflix has developed into the first truly global Internet TV network. Many books have been written about the five broadcast networks – NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox, and the CW – and many about the major cable networks – HBO, CNN, MTV, Nickelodeon, just to name a few – and this is the fitting time to undertake a detailed analysis of how Netflix, as the preeminent Internet TV networks, has come to be. This book, then, combines historical, industrial, and textual analysis to investigate, contextualize, and historicize Netflix's development as an Internet TV network. The book is split into four chapters. The first explores the ways in which Netflix's development during its early years a DVD-by-mail company – 1998-2007, a period I am calling "Netflix as Rental Company" – lay the foundations for the company's future iterations and successes. During this period, Netflix adapted DVD distribution to the Internet, revolutionizing the way viewers receive, watch, and choose content, and built a brand reputation on consumer-centric innovation.

Chenopodium ucrainicum (Chenopodiaceae / Amaranthaceae sensu APG), a new diploid species: a morphological description and pictorial guide. Ukrainian Botanical Journal, 77(4): 237–248. Abstract. A morphological description is provided for Chenopodium ucrainicum Mosyakin & Mandák (Chenopodiaceae / Amaranthaceae sensu APG), a new species allied to C. suecicum and C. ficifolium. At present this new species is reliably known from several localities in Ukraine (three areas in Kyiv city, one in Kyiv Region, one in Rivne Region), but it is probably more widespread, or could be even alien in Eastern Europe. Comparison of our plants with other taxa [such as C. suecicum (incl. C. neumanii, etc.), C. ficifolium, several morphotypes of C. album, as well as plants known as C. borbasii, C. missouriense (sensu stricto and sensu auct. europ.), C. lobodontum, etc.], demonstrated that C. ucrainicum is morphologically different from all these known and named taxa. It is also a late-flowering and late-fruiting species: in Kyiv fruits/seeds normally develop during late September – early November.

  • Parable of the Weeds Among the Wheat
    SAINT BONAVENTURE CHURCH SIXTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME | JULY 19, 2020 As Christian stewards, our mission is to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all people through word, sacrament, service and community life. Parable of The Weeds Among The Wheat Mt 13:24-30 Page two 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time PPastor’sastor’s CCornerorner Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Last Sunday, I talked about the use of parables in the Gospel according to Matthew. This Sunday we have several more parables. (See Matthew 13:24-43) Remember, a parable is a story that is used to get a point across. There is usually a line in the parable that makes a person say, “Wait a minute. What did you say? That doesn’t make sense.” And that is when the storyteller says, “Yes! Got your attention.” Last week Jesus told the Parable of the Sower and the Seed. Jesus said some of the seed fell on the path, or on bramble, or on good soil. The listeners would have thought, “Why did the sower waste good seed on a foot path and brambles? (Got your attention!) Today’s Gospel parable is “The Wheat and the Weeds”: The Kingdom of God may be likened to a man who sowed good seed in his field. (So far so good.) While everyone was asleep his enemy sowed weeds all through the wheat. (This is where the “Wait a minute. What did you say?” moment comes. And Jesus has their attention.) The farmhands want to pull out the weeds. The problem is the wheat and the weeds (darnel) look similar in their early stage of growth.

  • Trophic Resource Use and Partitioning in Multispecies Ungulate Communities

This has raised concerns about their impacts, particularly on shared resources with humans, e.g., timber trees. Understanding how different ungulate species use trophic resources is therefore a crucial component of managing their populations. In this thesis, I synthesized data from the literature and used faecal DNA metabarcoding to investigate diets and patterns of resource partitioning for ungulate communities in Sweden and at the European scale. I also evaluated the reliability of dung morphometry for identifying ungulate species. I found that species identification of faecal pellets is difficult where similar-sized ungulates coexist which questions the reliability of pellet counts as a monitoring technique in such systems. Dung morphometry could, however, clearly distinguish moose from the smaller deer species. Across Europe, average diets of the four main deer species fit well with predictions by Hofmann’s hypothesis of ruminant feeding types. Red and fallow deer (mixed feeders) showed larger dietary plasticity than moose and roe deer (browsers).

  • Chenopodioideae, Chenopodiaceae/ Amaranthaceae): Implications for Evolution and Taxonomy
    Fruit and Seed Anatomy of Chenopodium and Related Genera (Chenopodioideae, Chenopodiaceae/ Amaranthaceae): Implications for Evolution and Taxonomy Alexander P. Sukhorukov1,2*, Mingli Zhang1,3 1 Key Laboratory of Biogeography and Bioresource in Arid Land, Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Urumqi, Xinjiang, China, 2 Department of Higher Plants, Biological Faculty, Moscow Lomonosov State University, Moscow, Russia, 3 Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China Abstract A comparative carpological study of 96 species of all clades formerly considered as the tribe Chenopodieae has been conducted for the first time. The results show important differences in the anatomical structure of the pericarp and seed coat between representatives of terminal clades including Chenopodium s.str.+Chenopodiastrum and the recently recognized genera Blitum, Oxybasis and Dysphania. Within Chenopodium the most significant changes in fruit and seed structure are found in members of C. sect. Skottsbergia. The genera Rhagodia and Einadia differ insignificantly from Chenopodium. The evolution of heterospermy in Chenopodium is discussed. Almost all representatives of the tribe Dysphanieae are clearly separated from other Chenopodioideae on the basis of a diverse set of characteristics, including the small dimensions of the fruits (especially in Australian taxa), their subglobose shape (excl. Teloxys and Suckleya), and peculiarities of the pericarp indumentum. The set of fruit and seed characters evolved within the subfamily Chenopodioideae is described. A recent phylogenetic hypothesis is employed to examine the evolution of three (out of a total of 21) characters, namely seed color, testa-cell protoplast characteristics and embryo orientation.
