February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

Barbara Mcclintock's World
Barbara McClintock’s World Timeline adapted from Dolan DNA Learning Center exhibition 1902-1908 Barbara McClintock is born in Hartford, Connecticut, the third of four children of Sarah and Thomas Henry McClintock, a physician. She spends periods of her childhood in Massachusetts with her paternal aunt and uncle. Barbara at about age five. This prim and proper picture betrays the fact that she was, in fact, a self-reliant tomboy. Barbara’s individualism and self-sufficiency was apparent even in infancy. When Barbara was four months old, her parents changed her birth name, Eleanor, which they considered too delicate and feminine for such a rugged child. In grade school, Barbara persuaded her mother to have matching bloomers (shorts) made for her dresses – so she could more easily join her brother Tom in tree climbing, baseball, volleyball, My father tells me that at the and football. age of five I asked for a set of tools. He My mother used to did not get me the tools that you get for an adult; he put a pillow on the floor and give got me tools that would fit in my hands, and I didn’t me one toy and just leave me there. think they were adequate. Though I didn’t want to tell She said I didn’t cry, didn’t call for him that, they were not the tools I wanted. I wanted anything. real tools not tools for children. 1908-1918 McClintock’s family moves to Brooklyn in 1908, where she attends elementary and secondary school. In 1918, she graduates one semester early from Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn. -
Atlas of Rare Endemic Vascular Plants of the Arctic
Atlas of Rare Endemic Vascular Plants of the Arctic Technical Report No. 3 About CAFF Theprogram for the Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF) of the Arctic Council was established lo address the special needs of Arctic ecosystems, species and thcir habitats in the rapid ly developing Arctic region. Itwas initiated as one of'four programs of the Arctic Environmental Protcction Strategy (AEPS) which was adopted by Canada, Denmark/Greenland, Finland, lceland, Norway, Russia, Swcdcn and the United States through a Ministeria! Declaration at Rovaniemi, Finland in 1991. Other programs initi ated under the AEPS and overlaken hy the Are.tie Council are the ArcticMonitoring and assessment Programme (AMAP), the program for Emergency Prevention, Preparcd ness and Response (EPPR) and the program for Protection of the Arctic Marine Envi ronment (PAME). Sinceits inaugural mccti.ng in Ottawa, Canada in 1992, the CAFF program has provided scientists, conscrvation managers and groups, and indigenous people of the north with a distinct forum in which lo tackle a wide range of Arctic conservation issues at the cir cumpolar level. CAFF's main goals, which are achieved in keeping with the concepts of sustainable developrnertt and utilisation, are: • to conserve Arctic Jlora and fauna, thcir diversity and thcir habitats; • to protect the Arctic ecosystems from threats; • to improve conservation management laws, reg ulations and practices for the Arclic; • to integrale Arctic interests into global conservation fora. CAFF operates rhrough a system of Designated Agencies and National Representatives responsible for CAFF in thcir rcspcctivc countries. CAFF also has an International Work ing Group wh.ith has met annually to assess progrcss and to develop Annual WorkPlans. -

Locale sible. Such matching can be best achieved by using materials B may be so different in both physical and biotic features from nearby plants growing in nature or propagated in nearby that it will create specific selective pressures that alter the nurseries. The closeness of matching will depend on the type of original gene pools from locale A. site to be revegetated. Within National Parks, whose mandate is 5.

It is abundant and diverse, with complex taxonomic relations. In order to expand the knowledge about the classification of Kazakhstan species and compare it with classical studies, matK genes of nine local species in- cluding endemic were sequenced. The infrageneric rank of one of them (A. kotuchovii) had re- mained unknown. In this study, we analysed results of sequences using two methods — NJ and MP and compared them with a median-joining haplotype network. As a result, monophyletic origin of the genus and subgenus Dracunculus was confirmed. Closeness of A. kotuchovii to other spe- cies of Dracunculus suggests its belonging to this subgenus. Generally, matK was shown as a useful barcode marker for the identification and investigation of Artemisia genus. Key words: Artemisia, Artemisia kotuchovii, DNA barcoding, haplotype network. INTRODUCTION (Bremer, 1994; Torrel et al., 1999). Due to the large amount of species in the genus, their classification is still complex Artemisia of the family Asteraceae is a genus with great and not fully completed. -
Eduard Fenzls Anteil
MARIA PETZ-GRABENBAUER ZUM LEBENSWERK VON EDUARD FENZL. DER BOTANISCHE GARTEN DER UNIVERSITÄT WIEN UND FENZLS BEITRAG AN DEN „GENERA PLANTARUM SECUNDUM ORDINES NATURALES DISPOSITA“ Ein gemeinsamer Weg „Vor allem muss man den Scharfsinn bewundern, mit dem es Fenzl gelingt, grössere Gruppen natürlich zu umgrenzen oder für zweifelhafte Gattungen den geeignetsten Platz im Systeme zu ermitteln. In dieser Beziehung sind die in Endlicher’s Generibus plantarum und in Ledebour’s Flora rossica bearbeiteten Familien als wahre Muster anzusehen. Hierin ist Fenzl mit Endlicher auf das Innigste verwandt; in der Beschrei- bung der einzelnen Arten übertrifft er ihn weit. Denn in dieser Richtung gebührt Fenzl das große Verdienst, dass er vorzüglich die organografisch und biologisch wichtigen Momente berücksichtigte und sich nicht bloß wie seine Vorgänger mit der Angabe der relativen Verhältnisse der einzelnen Theile begnügte, sondern sehr genaue absolute Messungen gebrauchte. So gelingt es ihm, einerseits seinen Beschreibungen eine große Genauigkeit zu verleihen, andererseits die von ihm aufgestellten Arten glücklich und natürlich zu begrenzen, so dass er stets die richtige Mitte zwischen zu großer Zer- splitterung in viele Arten, und den Vereinen von zu heterogenen Formen hält“.1 Mehr als 150 Jahre weitgehend unbeachtet blieben diese Ausführungen des Bota- nikers Heinrich Wilhelm Reichardt über den Anteil Eduard Fenzls an den „Genera plantarum secundum ordines naturales disposita“, die zwischen 1836 und 1840 von Stephan Ladislaus Endlicher veröffentlicht wurde. Mit diesem Werk gelang es Endli- cher neun Jahre vor seinem Tod, eine Übersicht des Pflanzenreiches herauszugeben, wie es seit den Arbeiten der Familie Jussieu Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts nicht wieder versucht worden war. -

WOOD ANATOMY of CHENOPODIACEAE (AMARANTHACEAE S
IAWA Journal, Vol. 33 (2), 2012: 205–232 WOOD ANATOMY OF CHENOPODIACEAE (AMARANTHACEAE s. l.) Heike Heklau1, Peter Gasson2, Fritz Schweingruber3 and Pieter Baas4 SUMMARY The wood anatomy of the Chenopodiaceae is distinctive and fairly uni- form. The secondary xylem is characterised by relatively narrow vessels (<100 µm) with mostly minute pits (<4 µm), and extremely narrow ves- sels (<10 µm intergrading with vascular tracheids in addition to “normal” vessels), short vessel elements (<270 µm), successive cambia, included phloem, thick-walled or very thick-walled fibres, which are short (<470 µm), and abundant calcium oxalate crystals. Rays are mainly observed in the tribes Atripliceae, Beteae, Camphorosmeae, Chenopodieae, Hab- litzieae and Salsoleae, while many Chenopodiaceae are rayless. The Chenopodiaceae differ from the more tropical and subtropical Amaran- thaceae s.str. especially in their shorter libriform fibres and narrower vessels. Contrary to the accepted view that the subfamily Polycnemoideae lacks anomalous thickening, we found irregular successive cambia and included phloem. They are limited to long-lived roots and stem borne roots of perennials (Nitrophila mohavensis) and to a hemicryptophyte (Polycnemum fontanesii). The Chenopodiaceae often grow in extreme habitats, and this is reflected by their wood anatomy. Among the annual species, halophytes have narrower vessels than xeric species of steppes and prairies, and than species of nitrophile ruderal sites. Key words: Chenopodiaceae, Amaranthaceae s.l., included phloem, suc- cessive cambia, anomalous secondary thickening, vessel diameter, vessel element length, ecological adaptations, xerophytes, halophytes. INTRODUCTION The Chenopodiaceae in the order Caryophyllales include annual or perennial herbs, sub- shrubs, shrubs, small trees (Haloxylon ammodendron, Suaeda monoica) and climbers (Hablitzia, Holmbergia). -
