title: "Predjama Castle" content: Predjama Castle Predjama Castle ( or , , ) is a Renaissance castle built within a cave mouth in south-central Slovenia, in the historical region of Inner Carniola. It is located in the village of Predjama, approximately 11 kilometres from the town of Postojna and 9 kilometres from Postojna Cave. The castle was first mentioned in 1274 with the German name "Luegg", when the Patriarch of Aquileia built the castle in Gothic style. The castle was built under a natural rocky arch high in the stone wall to make access to it difficult. It was later acquired and expanded by


title: "Predjama Castle" content: the Luegg noble family, also known as the Knights of Adelsberg (the German name of Postojna). The castle became known as the seat of the knight Erasmus of Lueg (or Luegg, Luegger), lord of the castle in the 15th century and a renowned robber baron. He was the son of the imperial governor of Trieste, Nikolaj Lueger. According to legend, Erasmus came into conflict with the Habsburgs when he killed the commander of the imperial army, Marshall Pappenheim, who had offended the honour of Erasmus's deceased friend, Andrej Baumkircher of Vipava. Fleeing the vengeance of the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick


title: "Predjama Castle" content: III, Erasmus reached the family fortress of Predjama. From there, he allied himself with King Matthias Corvinus and began to attack Habsburg estates and towns in Carniola. The emperor commissioned the governor of Trieste, Andrej Ravbar, with the capture or killing of Erasmus. Erasmus was killed after a long siege. According to a popular but unfounded legend, Erasmus was betrayed by one of his men and was killed by a shot from a cannon in his lavatory. After the siege and destruction of the original castle, its ruins were acquired by the Oberburg family. In 1511, the second castle, built

In the year 1567, Archduke Charles of Austria leased the castle to baron Philipp von Cobenzl, who paid it off after 20 years. In 1570, the current castle was built in the Renaissance style, pressed next to a vertical cliff under the original Medieval fortification. The castle has remained in this form, virtually unchanged, to the present day. In the 18th century, it became one of the favourite summer residences of the Cobenzl family. Both the Austrian statesman and famous art collector Philipp


title: "Predjama Castle" content: von Cobenzl and the diplomat Count Ludwig von Cobenzl spent time in the castle. In 1810, the castle was inherited by Count Michael Coronini von Cronberg, and in 1846 it was sold to the Windischgrätz family, who remained its owners until the end of World War II, when it was nationalized by the Yugoslav Communist authorities and turned into a museum. A vertical natural shaft, which Erasmus ordered to be enlarged, leads out of the original castle, and leads to the exit located at the top of the cliff, 25 meters away from the cliff's edge. This shaft allowed Erasmus

Predjama Castle was used as the castle featured in the 1986 movie "Armour of God" by Golden Harvest starring Jackie Chan, Alan Tam, Rosamund Kwan and Lola Forner. It was also investigated for paranormal activity in a 2008 episode of "Ghost Hunters International" on the Sci Fi Channel. It was also the filming location of Laibach's Sympathy For The Devil cover's music video. The multiplayer map "Castle" from the 2014 DLC, "Operation Breakout", is based on Predjama Castle.

The emergency episode proved counterproductive in several respects. It ruined the prospects for genuine racial partnership, made heroes out of the detainees, and alienated moderate Africans from the Government.

title: "Agrotis ipsilon" content: Agrotis ipsilon Agrotis ipsilon, the dark sword-grass, black cutworm, greasy cutworm, or floodplain cutworm is a small noctuid moth found worldwide. The moth gets its scientific name from black markings on its forewings shaped like a letter "Y" and resembles the Greek letter upsilon. The larvae are known as "cutworms" because they cut plants and other crops. The larvae are serious agricultural pests and feed on nearly all varieties of vegetables and many important grains. This species is a seasonal migrant that travels north in the spring and south in the fall to escape extreme temperatures in the summer and


title: "Agrotis ipsilon" content: winter. The migration patterns reflect how reproduction occurs in the spring and ceases in the fall. Females release sex pheromones to attract males for mating. Pheromone production and release in females and pheromone responsiveness in males is dependent on the juvenile hormone (JH) and pheromone biosynthesis activating neuropeptide (BPAN). In the span of 2 months, the moth progresses through the life-cycle stages egg, larvae, pupa, and adult. Throughout this time period, this moth faces the risk of predation and parasitism, such as by "Hexamermis arvalis" or by the parasite "Archytas cirphis". Populations of this species have been found in southern


title: "Agrotis ipsilon" content: Canada, 48 states of the United States (and additionally Hawaii), Mexico, Central and South America, Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific Rim, North Africa, Europe, and Asia. However, they are absent from some tropical regions and colder areas and are more widespread in the northern than southern hemisphere. This species is also known to migrate north in the spring and migrate south in the fall. Larvae feed on weeds such as bluegrass, curled dock, lambsquarters, yellow rocket, and redroot pigweed. They will often eat all the weeds available before moving to attacking crops. Favored crops include most vegetable plants, alfalfa, clover,


title: "Agrotis ipsilon" content: cotton, rice, sorghum, strawberry, sugarbeet, tobacco, and occasionally grains and grasses. Adults feed on flower nectar. They are also attracted to deciduous trees and shrubs such as linden, wild plum, crabapple, and lilac. Based on the types of debris on the ground, the black cutworm prefers to oviposit in areas with fencerow (pasture) debris rather than corn field debris, woodland floor debris, and bare soil. Fencerow debris includes dry grass debris, and this may be attractive for females to oviposit early in the spring season before rapid vegetation growth occurs. After this growth, though, the moths are drawn more to


title: "Agrotis ipsilon" content: low, dense plants such as the curled dock and yellow rocket. These plants have multiple stems and many low-lying basal leaves. On most plant species, the cutworm prefers to oviposit on the leaves rather than the stem. In a given year, the number of generation differs based on location and weather conditions. In Canada, there are 1–2 generations, while in the United States, there are 2–4 per year. This species is abundant in warmer temperatures (such as Arkansas, US) during the late spring in May–June and early fall in September–October, while they are more abundant in cooler temperature (such as


title: "Agrotis ipsilon" content: New York, US) during the summer in June–July. One life cycle lasts between 35–60 days. The egg stage lasts 3–6 days. Females oviposit eggs in clusters on low-lying leaves. If such host plants are not available, the females will oviposit on dead plant material. However, they will not lay eggs on bare soil. Females can deposit eggs singly, or in groups of up to 1200 to 1900 eggs.The nearly spherical eggs are initially white but turn brown with age. The surface of the egg possesses 35–40 ribs that radiate from one apex. The larval stage lasts 20–40 days. Over the


title: "Agrotis ipsilon" content: span of 5–9 instars, the caterpillar body grows from 3.5 mm to a maximum of 55 mm. Larval development is optimized at a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, and instars 1–5 are most successful at higher humidities. By the 4th instar, the larva becomes light sensitive and spends most of the daylight underground. The larva are considered pests because they damage the plant tissue under the soil. The larvae are cannibalistic. The larva can range in color from light gray or gray-brown to black. The ventral side is usually lighter, and this species does not have a dorsal band. The


title: "Agrotis ipsilon" content: entire body is covered with granules and the head possesses many dark spots. The pupal stage lasts 12–20 days. This species pupates under the soil approximately 3–12 mm below the surface. The pupae appear to be dark brown in color and are 17–12 mm long and 5–6 mm wide. One complete generation from egg to adult lasts 35–60 days. The female preoviposition period lasts 7–10 days. Adults have a wingspan of 40–55 mm. The forewings are dark brown, and the distal area has a light irregular band a black dash mark. The hindwings are whitish to gray and have darker


title: "Agrotis ipsilon" content: colored veins. "A. ipsilon" are seasonal migratory insects that travel south in the fall to escape harsh cold temperatures and travel north in the spring to escape extremely warm weather. Therefore, changes in thermoperiod as well as photoperiod may influence the onset of migration patterns in this species. Before migration southward in the fall, the reproductive system in both females and males shuts down to prevent copulation before winter. In the spring and early summer, though, before migration north, females release sex pheromones soon after eclosion. In one study, female moths collected in late April-early May were 100% mated. Several


title: "Agrotis ipsilon" content: species of wasps prey on the black cutworm. Larvae parasitized by "Meteorus leviventris," a type of parasitoid, eat 24% less vegetation and cut 36% fewer seedlings. Other parasitoids include several fly species such as "Archytas cirphis, Bonnetia comta, Eucelatoria armigera" and "Sisyropa eudryae." Ground beetles also eat black cutworm larvae. Ants, specifically "Lasius neoniger" also prey on this species and feed on "A. ipsilon" eggs"." An entomopathogenic nematode called "Hexamermis arvalis" is known to infect 60% of larvae in the central United States. This parasite ultimately kills the insect. The parasite thrives in moist soil conditions. Calling behavior is the


title: "Agrotis ipsilon" content: act of females releasing sex pheromone in preparation for mating. Calling behavior increases within the first 3 days after eclosion but decreases as the females grow older. As well, as the females grow older, they onset time of calling behavior occurs earlier. Calling earlier allows older females to have increased mating success as they normally produce less sex pheromone and need to appear more attractive than younger females. The amount of sex pheromone in the body and calling behavior are coordinated on a time-scale. Females produce a sex pheromone in the pheromone gland on their abdominal tips that attracts males


title: "Agrotis ipsilon" content: for mating. Biosynthesis of the sex pheromone is controlled by a neurohormone called Pheromone Biosynthesis Activating Neuropeptide (PBAN). This 33-amino-acid-long peptide is present in both sexes in the brain-suboesophageal ganglions (Br-SOG) during both scotophase and photophase. It has been shown that the Juvenile Hormone is involved in the release of PBAN in both males and females. PBAN aids in pheromone production in females and pheromone responsiveness in males. In another species, PBAN release has been shown to be stimulated by external factors including photoperiod, temperature and odorants from host-plants The Juvenile Hormone (JH), released by the corpora allata (CA), is


title: "Agrotis ipsilon" content: necessary for the production and release of the sex pheromone. The CA releases JH which acts on the production/release of the PBAN-like factor. So, PBAN is what connects the network in the CA to the central nervous system's production of sex pheromone. When the CA was removed, calling behavior and sex pheromone production stopped. As well, ovaries remained underdeveloped when the CA was absent. However, when decapitated females (meaning complete absence of the CA) were injected with a synthetic form of JH, ovaries were able to develop. This indicates that JH acts on the ovaries and production of sex pheromone


title: "Agrotis ipsilon" content: in two independent neuroendocrine systems. In males, JH is necessary for pheromone responsiveness. When the CA was removed, males did not respond to female sex pheromones with sexual behavior. However, when the CA was implanted back, responsiveness and sexual behavior returned. "A. ipsilon" has a sensitive olfactory system with many proteins that are expressed in the antennae. Such proteins include odorant binding proteins (OBPs), chemosensory proteins (CSPs), odorant receptors (ORs), ionotropic receptors (IRs) and sensory neuron membrane proteins (SNMPs). These proteins are responsible for recognizing sex pheromone and general odorants, such as those released by host plants. Each larva can

After that they do considerable damage to crops by severing young plants at ground level. In the midwestern USA, the black cutworm is considered to be a serious pest of corn. Corn is very susceptible at the one-leaf stage, but by the 4 or 5-leaf stage, it is relatively unaffected. Damage to the underground parts of plants can also be harmful. Other crops where serious damage occurs include cotton, maize, tobacco, sunflower, tomatoes, sugar beet and potato. There are three options


title: "Agrotis ipsilon" content: to manage cutworm population and the incurred damages. Soil insecticides can be applied as a pre-plant treatment, although this may be limited by the unpredictability of cutworm population density distribution. These insecticides can also be applied as a planting-time treatment, although the same limitations still hold. The third option would be a rescue treatment that is applied after the infestations have occurred; this is also called the wait-and-see system. This may also be preferable due to a recently lower occurrence of outbreaks. Agrotis ipsilon Agrotis ipsilon, the dark sword-grass, black cutworm, greasy cutworm, or floodplain cutworm is a small noctuid

Originating in mainland Europe, it has become established as an introduced plant in the British Isles and throughout the temperate regions of the


title: "Trifolium hybridum" content: world. Despite its scientific name, alsike clover is not of hybrid origin. The plant gets its common name from the town of Alsike in Sweden from which Linnaeus first described it. He thought it was a cross between white clover ("T. repens") and red clover ("T. pratense"), but in this he was mistaken and it is a separate species. Alsike clover is a perennial plant with a semi-erect, sparsely branched, grooved stem, hairy in its upper regions. The leaves are alternate and stalked with small stipules. The leaves have three blunt-tipped ovate, unspotted leaflets with finely toothed margins. The inflorescence

The individual florets have a five-lobed calyx and an irregular corolla consisting of five pink petals, one upstanding "standard", two lateral "wings" and the lower two fused to form a "keel". There are ten stamens and a single carpal. Alsike clover is native to much of southern Europe and southwestern Asia, especially in mountainous regions. It is widely cultivated and used as a forage crop and for this purpose the subspecies "T. h. hybridum" is used and this has become naturalised further north in Europe and in other parts of the world.

It makes a poor lawn in the late summer, when the leaves have yellowed and fruit sets into the 7 mm seed heads that are covered with hooked prickles. Burclover is a good forage for livestock, but the fruit is prickly. All classes of livestock, except horses and mules, can feed its leaves. New seedlings have seed leaves that are oblong. The first true leaf is rounded. Later leaves will be tripartite, with a characteristic clover-like shape, appearing alternately on the stems. Leaflets have slightly serrated edges. The tiny yellow flowers attract small butterflies and

The stems often root at the nodes; adult plants, and even young plants that have been able to grow for a few weeks undisturbed can be very difficult to pull out, leaving behind tap roots and a network of plant pieces when pulled. Mechanically removing top growth from this plant will not usually eradicate it. If not properly managed, burclover may then become invasive and displace more desirable vegetation. Being a member of the Leguminosae family, the
