The report noted that the economic expansion following the Second World War is critical to understanding the historical roots of the crisis that Central America faced during the 1970s and 1980s, after the region's economy nearly collapsed from the inability to adjust to international structural changes. While the region averaged unprecedented growth from 1950 to 1978, the strengths of the economy in Central America did not outweigh the faults of exclusionary politics, flawed economic structures, decline of intra-regional trade, and external economic setbacks that consequently led to social unrest, violence and civil war.

title: "Haghartsin Monastery" content: Haghartsin Monastery Haghartsin () is a 13th-century monastery located near the town of Dilijan in the Tavush Province of Armenia. It was built between the 10th and 13th centuries (in the 12th under Khachatur of Taron); much of it under the patronage of the Bagratuni Dynasty. Traditionally, an eagle was soaring over the dome of the main building at its dedication and thus it became commonly known as the monastery of the playing (or soaring) eagle("Hagh" means a game while "Artsin" a form of "Artsiv" means eagle in Armenian). St. Astvatsatsin Church in Haghartsin (1281) is the largest building and

The sixteen-faced dome is decorated with arches, the bases of whose columns are connected by triangular ledges and spheres, with a band around the drum’s bottom. This adds to the optical height of the dome and creates the impression that its drum is weightless. The platband of the southern portal's architrave is framed with rows of trefoils. The sculptural group of the church’s eastern facade differs in composition from the similar bas-reliefs of Sanahin, Haghpat, and Harich. It shows two men in monks’ attire who point with their hands at a church model and a picture


title: "Haghartsin Monastery" content: of a dove with half-spread wings placed between them. The umbrella roofing of the model’s dome shows the original look of the dome of Astvatsatsin church. The figures are shown wearing different dresses — the one standing right is dressed more richly than the one standing left. The faces, with their long whiskers, luxuriant combed beards and large almond shaped eyes, are also executed in different manners. These are probably the founders of the church, the Father Superior and his assistant. The gavit of St. Astvatsatsin Church is severely damaged. The ruins show clearly where it stood; however, the walls


title: "Haghartsin Monastery" content: are almost completely destroyed. The oldest large structure of the complex, the St. Grigor Church, is accessible through its gavit. The 12th-century gavit abutting St. Grigor Church is of the most common type of plan. It is a square building, with roofing supported by four internal abutments, and with squat octahedral tents above the central sections, somewhat similar to the Armenian peasant home of the "glkhatun" type. The gavit has ornamented corner sections. Decorated with rosettes, these sections contain sculptures of human figures in monks' attires, carrying crosses, staffs, and birds. The framing of the central window of Haghardzin’s gavit

One of the half-columns along the right hand wall towards the back has come forward, showing that it is hollow. According to legend, this was swung open and shut in the past and monastery riches were hidden inside at times of war and invasion. The small St. Stepanos Church dates back to 1244. The Bagratuni sepulchre is where some of the Bagratuni royalty are buried. Like the Haghpat's refectory, the refectory of Haghardzin, built by the architect Minas in 1248, is

The walls are lined with stone benches, and at the western butt wall, next to the door, there is a broad archway for the numerous pilgrims to navigate. Decoration is concentrated only in the central sections of the roofing, near the main lighting apertures. The transition from the rectangle of their base to the octagon of the top is decorated with tre- and quatrefoils. The low abutments determine the size of the upstretched arches. The proportionally diminishing architectural shapes create the impression of airiness and space. Today this space

Leaves can be harvested from the stem cut off in the summer, as well as from the new stalk and its branches, throughout summer and autumn. The seeds are harvested in autumn when the fruits are ripe. To collect perilla seeds, the whole plant is harvested and the seeds are beat out of the plant, before being spread for sun drying.

They have been documented along the East Coast from Maine to South Carolina. In these environments "E. virginiana" are pollinated by "P. imparis", the winter ant. This insect pollination is required for pollination in the chasmogamous flowers. "E. virginiana" relies upon ant pollination to produce cross pollinated seeds along with self-fertilized seed. It is not believed that ants pollinate the self-fertile cleistogamous flowers. Beechdrops are used to monitor forest health because of their dependence on their

title: "Red-winged starling" content: Red-winged starling The red-winged starling ("Onychognathus morio") is a bird of the starling family Sturnidae native to eastern Africa from Ethiopia to the Cape in South Africa. An omnivorous, generalist species, it prefers cliffs and mountainous areas for nesting, and has moved into cities and towns due to similarity to its original habitat. In 1760 the French zoologist Mathurin Jacques Brisson included a description of the red-winged starling in his "Ornithologie" based on a specimen collected from the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa. He used the French name "Le merle du Cap de Bonne Espérance" and the Latin


title: "Red-winged starling" content: "Merula Capitis Bonae Spei". Although Brisson coined Latin names, these do not conform to the binomial system and are not recognised by the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. When in 1766 the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus updated his "Systema Naturae" for the twelfth edition, he added 240 species that had been previously described by Brisson. One of these was the red-winged starling. Linnaeus included a brief description, coined the binomial name "Turdus morio" and cited Brisson's work. The specific name "morio" or "morion" is Latin for "dark brown stone" or "black quartz". This species is now placed in the genus


title: "Red-winged starling" content: "Onychognathus" that was introduced by the German physician and ornithologist Gustav Hartlaub in 1849. Two subspecies are recognised: The male of this long starling has mainly iridescent black plumage, with chestnut flight feathers, which are particularly noticeable in flight. The female has an ash-grey head and upper breast. The juvenile resembles the male, but is less glossy than the adults, and has brown rather than dark red eyes. The Ethiopian subspecies "O. m. rupellii" is longer-tailed than the nominate form and intergrades with it. This species has a number of whistled calls, but the most familiar is the contact call,


title: "Red-winged starling" content: "cher-leeeoo". This starling may be confused with other similar starling species, such as its sister species the pale-winged starling. The difference between the two is that the red-winged has rufous primaries while the pale-winged has whitish primaries edged with orange. The pale-winged has a bright red or orange eye, while the red-winged's is dark, almost black. Only the female of the red-winged has a grey head. The range is down eastern Africa from Ethiopia to the Cape in South Africa. This species has a wide habitat tolerance. It may be found in forest, savannah, grassland, wetlands, fynbos, farmlands and commercial


title: "Red-winged starling" content: plantations, as well as urban centres. It is now common in many urban areas, due to the similarity between the structure of tall buildings and houses as nest sites with the cliffs of its original habitat. It may also nest in residential areas, breeding in roofs and apertures and up house eaves. Like other starlings, the red-winged starling is an omnivore, taking a wide range of seeds, berries, nectar from plants such as "Aloe" and "Schotia brachypetala", and invertebrates, such as the beetle species "Pachnoda sinuata". They may take nestlings and adults of certain bird species, such as the African


title: "Red-winged starling" content: palm swift. It will also scavenge on carrion and human food scrap. The red-winged starling will obviously only perch on plant structures that will be able to support its weight; therefore when taking nectar it will choose certain species with strong, robust racemes with easily accessible flowers, such as that of "Aloe ferox" and "Aloe marlothii", and not "Aloe arborescens". Large flowers that can support the bird's weight, such as that of "Strelitzia nicolai" and certain "Protea" species, are also chosen. Fruit species that this species may feed on include figs, such as the sycamore fig and others, marulas, date


title: "Red-winged starling" content: palm fruit, berries from species such as wild olive "Olea europaea" ssp. "africana" and "Euphorbia", and commercial fruit such as apples, grapes, citruses and others. In rural areas, red-winged starlings are often spotted perching on livestock and game, such as cattle, klipspringers and giraffes, a trait shared by the pale-winged starling, and may take insects and ectoparasites such as ticks, much in the manner of oxpeckers. The red-winged starling is territorial, aggressive and intolerant when nesting, and will attack other species, including domestic animals and humans. When not breeding, red-winged starlings are highly gregarious and will associate with other members

The red-winged starling builds a lined nest of grass and twigs, and with a mud base, on a natural or structural ledge. It lays two to four, usually three, blue eggs, spotted with red-brown. The female incubates the eggs for 13–14 days, with another 22–28 days to fledge. This starling is commonly double-brooded. It may be parasitised by the great spotted cuckoo. It is preyed upon by other birds such as peregrine falcons, lanner falcons, tawny eagles, cape eagle-owls, pied crows,
