The student was approached by a 15-year­ old around 5: 15 p.m. while in his car in the M-lot, which is located near Boothroyd Hall. According to the Tompkins County Sheriff's Department, the teenager reached into the student's car, grabbed him by the throat and threatened him with a rock while demanding money from the student. When the student said he did not have any money, the teenager allowed him to drive away. The student contacted the Office of Pub­ lic Safe ty, and Patrol Officer Bill Kerry stopped the suspect minutes later based on a description given by the student of the sus­ pect and the vehicJe he was riding in.

Final Month of The Year! =) THIRD Hyperlink Journals Series ^_^ Hey everybody! =D And an early “Happy New Year’s Day” 2014! ^_^ Merry Holiday Season! =) Simply to keep You in tune with how the “TIGERM Follow Me Hyperlink Journals” are going to continue to be done simply a reminder that the original “Official Release” of this series was completed in October. So, the addresses Journalized for “October 2013” (First Journal) actually list “September 2013” hyperlinks. The month each Journal is released, it covers the month before it. Certainly hope that makes sense! ^_^ The links this “TIGERM Follow Me Hyperlink Journals” series covers are links I visited “November 2013.” However, the month this Hyperlink Journal was printed to be published is this month: “December 2013.” As awesome as it would be if it could be done in this day and age… it is not possible just yet for me or anyone who I know—to “travel into the future” (at this time ^_^) and collect hyperlinks for the month “December 2013” prior to me “Surfing the pixels of cyberspace” in well… “December 2013…” ^^; So long tale told – long description short— Every “TIGERM Follow Me Hyperlink Journal” covers all links visited the month prior to it. Simply restating what was just stated so hopefully clarity is true and sense is keen. There is actually a “Journal Series” that I am printing but is not yet ready for public release—an extension of the “TIGERM Follow Me Hyperlink Journals” that I’ll talk about later on in the future World Willing.

    insects Review A Literature Review of Biological and Bio-Rational Control Strategies for Slugs: Current Research and Future Prospects Archita Barua 1, Christopher D. Williams 2 and Jenna L. Ross 1,3,* 1 Crop Health and Protection Limited (CHAP), York Biotech Campus, Sand Hutton, York YO41 1LZ, UK; [email protected] 2 School of Biological and Environmental Sciences, Liverpool John Moores University, Liverpool L3 3AF, UK; [email protected] 3 School of Biological Sciences, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen AB24 3UU, UK * Correspondence: [email protected] Simple Summary: Terrestrial molluscs (slugs and snails) pose a major threat to agriculture, causing severe yield losses in a wide range of crops worldwide. The limited number of chemical molluscicides on the market, along with their negative impact on nontarget organisms and the environment, make mollusc control a real concern for growers and farmers. Therefore, the exploration of alternative, effective and eco-friendly control measures has become a dire need. This study focuses on slugs, as opposed to snails, and reviews the literature on three natural enemies of slugs, namely nematodes, carabid beetles and marsh flies, along with various natural products with slug control potential (for example, essential oils), and this study contributes to providing a comprehensive understanding of how slugs can be better controlled by using nonchemical measures. In doing so, this study also draws attention to the limitations of current research and discusses some important future research avenues in order to develop effective nonchemical slug control measures.

Fdo.: Dr. José Castillejo Murillo Por que razão escolhemos o género Cerion? Sim, por que razão despender tanto tempo com um qualquer detalhe particular, quando as vertiginosas generalidades da teoria da evolução imploram que as estudem e quando uma vida inteira é curta para estudar apenas algumas delas? Por muito iconoclasta que seja, não abandonaria a sabedoria basilar da história natural desde a sua origem os conceitos que não se baseiam em percepções são vazios (tal como o afirmou Kant) e nenhum cientista poderá desenvolver um «sentir» adequado da natureza (aquele pré-requisito indefinível da verdadeira compreensão) sem se embrenhar profundamente nos diminutos detalhes empíricos de alguns grupos de organismos bem escolhidos. Deste modo, Aristóteles dissecou lulas e proclamou a eternidade do mundo, enquanto Darwin escreveu quatro volumes sobre cracas e um sobre a origem das espécies.

  • PRESSEMITTEILUNG 26.10.2017 Franz Ferdinand 2018 Mit Neuem
    FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 26.10.2017 Franz Ferdinand 2018 mit neuem Album auf Tour Sie zählen nicht nur zu den erfolgreichsten Bands Großbritanniens der letzten 15 Jahre, sie sind auch eine der letzten noch bestehenden Bastionen der gewaltigen Welle an neuen UK- Bands, die die Welt zu Beginn des neuen Jahrtausends mit frischen Rockklängen überrollten. Obendrein sind Franz Ferdinand aus Glasgow nahezu im Alleingang verantwortlich für die globale Renaissance des Postpunk der späten Siebziger- und des New-Wave der frühen Achtzigerjahre. Dabei hat die 2001 als Quartett gegründete Formation diese Klangästhetiken nie einfach nur kopiert, sondern vielmehr adaptiert und sich unter Zuhilfenahme stets wechselnder und ergänzender Genres wie Noiserock, Disco oder Pop mit jedem Album verändert. Nicht nur in ganz Europa, auch in Nordamerika und sogar Asien gelten Franz Ferdinand daher seit Jahren als ein enorm stilsicherer Garant für Rockmusik, die ebenso tanzbar wie anspruchsvoll ist und die damit jeden vom konventionellen Radiohörer bis zum blasierten Musikkritiker unmittelbar in den Bann zieht. Denn mit jedem ihrer bislang vier Alben hat sich die Band um Sänger, Gitarrist und Vordenker Alex Kapranos substanziell weiter entwickelt, ohne dabei die typischen Trademarks – kantige Stakkato-Gitarren, treibende Beats, sofort zündende Hooklines sowie eine selten magische Energie zwischen melancholisch gefärbten Kompositionen und euphorisch lebensbejahender Grundhaltung – aus den Augen zu verlieren. Franz Ferdinand ist damit etwas gelungen, was man in der heutigen Rockwelt nur selten findet: Gleichsam substanziell und massenkompatibel zu sein, sich dabei stets zu entwickeln und trotzdem unverwechselbar zu bleiben.

  • Identifying British Slugs
    Identifying British Slugs Brian Eversham version 1.0 October 2012 This is an updated version of a guide I produced in 1988. It aims to provide a quick and simple key to identify all British slugs to species level. It uses external features, most easily seen on live slugs. It should allow accurate identification of all but four pairs or trios of very closely related species, whose identity is best confirmed by dissection. Even these can be tentatively named without dissection. The key is a revision and expansion of those included in Eversham & Jackson (1982) and the Aidgap key (Cameron, Eversham & Jackson, 1983), and it has been extended to include recent additions to the British list. The illustrations are original, except for the genitalia figures of Milax nigricans (after Quick, 1952), and the figures of the Arion hortensis group (adapted from Davies (1977, 1979), Backeljau (1986) and Anderson (2004)), and Arion fuscus (XXXX). Useful identification features The following photographs shows the main features used in the keys. Body Tail Mantle Head Tubercles Breathing Tentacle Foot-fringe pore The above, Lusitanian Slug, Arion vulgaris, is a large round-back slug, which does not have a keel down its back, and does not have either a groove or a finger-print-like set of concentric ridges on its mantle: the next illustrations show those features. Like most large Arion species, it has a mucus gland at the tail tip, above the foot-fringe, which often has a small blob of slime attached. The breathing pore is conspicuous when open, but hard to see when closed.
