The mating habits of "Limax maximus" are considered unusual among slugs: the hermaphrodite slugs court, usually for hours, by circling and licking each other. After this, the slugs will climb into a tree or other high area and then, entwined together, lower themselves on a thick string of mucus, evert their white translucent mating organs (penises) from their gonopores (openings on the right side of the head), entwine these organs, and exchange sperm. Both participants will later lay hundreds of eggs. Parasites of "Limax maximus" include the nematode "Agfa flexilis", which lives in its salivary glands, the

Like some other slugs, this species is often infested by the white parasitic slug mite "Riccardoella limacum". This mite swarms its body and invades its respiratory cavity. A meningitis-causing nematode, "Angiostrongylus cantonensis", which normally infests the lungs of rats, has a larval stage which can only live in molluscs, including slugs. This nematode was once known to be a problem only in tropical areas, but it has since spread to other regions.

It is a national monument of Crimean Karaites culture just east of Bakhchisaray. Its name is Crimean Tatar and Turkish for "Jewish Fortress" ("çufut/çıfıt" - Jew, "qale/kale" - fortress), while Crimean Karaites refer to it simply as "Fortress", considering the place as historical center for the Crimean Karaite community. In the Middle Ages the fortress was known as "Qırq Yer" (Place of Forty) and as Karaites to which sect the greater part of

The town was probably a fortified settlement in the 5th or 6th century οn the periphery of the Byzantine Empire. Others are of the opinion that the fortified settlement appeared in the 10th-11th centuries. During the early period of the town’s history, it was mainly populated by Alans, the most powerful of a late Sarmatian tribes of Iranian descent. They began penetrating the Crimea from the 2nd century AD. Settling down in the mountainous Crimea, the Alans adopted

This name lasted until the mid-17th century. In 1299 the Tatar horde of Emir Nogai raided the Crimean peninsula. Kyrk-Or was among the sacked towns. Having seized the town, the Tatars quartered their garrison in it. At the turn of the 15th century, Tatars settled Karaite craftsmen in front of the eastern line of fortifications and built a second defensive wall to protect their settlement, and thus a new part of the town appeared. In the 15th century the first

After the defeat of the Golden Horde, the Crimean Khanate became considerably stronger. The significance of Kyrk-Or as a stronghold declined, and the Crimean Khan, Menglis-Girei, moved his capital to Bakhchisarai. The old town remained a citadel of Bakhchisarai and a place of incarceration for aristocratic prisoners. In the mid-17th century Tatars left Kyrk-Or. Only Karaites and several Krymchak families remained living there due to anti-Jewish restrictions on stays in other towns of the Crimean Khanate. Tatars considered Karaites to be Jews,

After the Crimea’s conquest and its inclusion into the Russian empire, the fortress inhabitants were permitted to live anywhere in the Crimea. From that time on, Chufut-Kale was deserted. By the mid-19th century the town ceased to exist. There are many legends concerning the place. According to one, it was called "Qırq Yer" because the khans Meñli Giray or Tokhtamysh, the founders of the city, brought with them forty Karaite families, and in their honor called it the "Place of

The early settlers of the city exercised great influence upon their neighbors, the Khazars. The "ḥakam" Abraham Firkovich, who was very skilful in falsifying epitaphs and manuscripts, pretended to have unearthed at the cemetery of Chufut-Kale tombstones dating from the year 6 of the common era, and to have discovered the tomb of Sangari, which is still shown by the Karaites. According to Harkavy, however, no epitaph earlier than 1203 can

This option proves to be the best choice for early diagnostic methods in regards to early antigen identification. Some imaging methods such as CT or MRI scans can be used to identify spargana larvae in other areas of the body, like the brain. When diagnosing an infection in animals, proglottids from the worm itself may have broken off and ended up in the feces along with eggs. The proglottids can be microscopically identified as being in the Order of "Pseudophyllidea" because they have medial genital pores, but the actual genus of

To continue the process, the definitive host must eat the uncooked meat of the intermediate host. Once in the small intestine of the definitive host, the bladder is digested away, the scolex embeds itself into the intestinal wall, and the neck begins to bud off segments to form the strobila. New eggs usually appear in the feces of the

Just before his death a custom motorcycle was commissioned in his honor from Orange County Choppers, to be featured in an episode of the reality television series "American Chopper". The "David Mann Bike" featured custom artwork in Mann's style, but Mann died before it was completed. The vehicle served as a posthumous tribute to the artist, and his work was featured on the show. The episode was dedicated to Mann as well as Indian Larry, who had


title: Pterospora content: Pterospora Pterospora, commonly known as pinedrops, woodland pinedrops, Albany beechdrops, or giant bird's nest is a North American genus in the subfamily Monotropoidiae of the heath family, and includes only the species Pterospora andromedea. It grows in coniferous or mixed forests. It is widespread across much of Canada as well as the western and northeastern United States to and northern Mexico (Sonora, Coahuila, Durango, Nuevo León). Along with "Monotropa" it is one of the more frequently encountered members of the Monotropoidiae. The genus name is derived from the morphology of the seeds which have narrow flaps of tissue on the


title: Pterospora content: side and therefore appear winged: "ptero" (Gr.) = winged, "spora" (Gr.) = seed. The specific name "andromedea" derives from the resemblance of the flowers to those of another genus in the Ericaceae, "Andromeda". The visible portion of "Pterospora andromedea" is a fleshy, unbranched, reddish to yellowish flower spike (raceme) in height, though it has been reported to occasionally attain a height of . The above-ground stalks (inflorescences) are usually found in small clusters between June and August. The inflorescences are hairy and noticeably sticky to the touch. This is caused by the presence of hairs which exude a sticky substance


title: Pterospora content: (glandular hairs). The inflorescences are covered by scale-like structures known as bracts. The upper portion of the inflorescence has a series of yellowish, urn-shaped flowers that face downward. The fruit is a capsule. Like all members of the Monotriopoidiae (see "Monotropa"), "Pterospora andromedea" lacks chlorophyll (trace amounts have been identified, but not enough to provide energy for the plant or to color it). Plants exist for most of their life as a mass of brittle, but fleshy, roots. They live in a parasitic relationship with mycorrhizal fungi, in which plants derive all their carbon from their associated fungus, but the


title: Pterospora content: relationship is not yet well understood. The term for this kind of symbiosis is mycoheterotrophy. In "Pterospora" the association is with a very limited number of fungi in the genus "Rhizopogon", including "Rhizopogon subcaerulescens, R. arctostaphyli", and "R. salebrosus". A note of caution: unlike plants, fungi are not yet well categorized and so species' names are likely to change frequently as more research is done and "Rhizopogon" is particularly hard to taxonomically categorize. "Pterospora" has yet to be discovered with any species outside the genus "Rhizopogon". "Pterospora" has consistently been shown to be more closely related to "Sarcodes" than any

The park had 2.2 million visitors in 2017, making it the most visited theme park in the United Kingdom and the 10th-most visited in Europe. From 1969 to 1992, the site of today´s Legoland Windsor belonged to Windsor Safari Park, which had been founded by the Billy Smart's Circus. The Lego Group began research for the development of a second Legoland park after Legoland Billund in 1987, with over 1000 sites considered. In January 1992, Windsor Safari Park went into receivership and the site was chosen. Throughout 1992 and 1993, planning, design,

title: "Active listening" content: Active listening Active listening is a technique that is used in counseling, training, and solving disputes or conflicts . It requires that the listener fully concentrate, understand, respond and then remember what is being said. This is opposed to reflective listening where the listener repeats back to the speaker what they have just heard to confirm understanding of both parties. Empathic listening is about giving people an outlet for their emotions before being able to be more open, which is sharing experiences and being able to accept new perspectives on the troubled topic that is the reason of emotional suffering.

It is native to Europe and western Asia and introduced widely in North America. While the greater celandine belongs to the poppy family, the lesser celandine belongs to the buttercup family. Greater celandine is a perennial herb with an erect habit, and reaches high. The blue-grey leaves are pinnate (feather-like) with lobed and wavy margins, up to long. When injured, the plant exudes a yellow to orange latex,

The flowers appear from late spring to summer, May to September (in UK), in umbelliform cymes of about 4 flowers. The seeds are small and black, borne in a long, cylindrical capsule. Each has an elaiosome, which attracts ants to disperse the seeds (myrmecochory). The greater celandine is one of the many species described by the father of taxonomy, Carl Linnaeus, in volume one of his "Species Plantarum" in 1753. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, "celandine" comes from Late

The aerial parts and roots of greater celandine are used in herbalism. The above-ground parts are gathered during the flowering season and dried at high temperatures. The root is harvested in autumn between August and October and dried. The fresh rhizome is also used. Celandine has a hot and bitter taste. Preparations are made from alcoholic and hot aqueous extractions (tea). The related plant bloodroot has similar chemical composition and uses as greater celandine. As far back as Pliny the Elder and Dioscorides

"A. glabra" is one of 13–19 species of Aesculus also called horse chestnuts. It is native primarily to the Midwestern and lower Great Plains regions of the United States, extending southeast into the Nashville Basin. It is also found locally in the extreme southwest of Ontario, on Walpole Island in Lake St. Clair, and in isolated but large populations in the South (Adams County, Mississippi). It is a medium-sized deciduous tree growing to tall. The leaves are palmately compound with five (rarely


title: "Aesculus glabra" content: seven) leaflets, long and broad. The flowers are produced in panicles in spring, yellow to yellow-green, each flower long with the stamens longer than the petals (unlike the related yellow buckeye, where the stamens are shorter than the petals). The fruit is a round or oblong spiny capsule diameter, containing 1 to 3 nut-like seeds, in diameter, brown with a whitish basal scar. The foliage and fruits contain tannic acid and are poisonous to cattle and humans. The Ohio buckeye is the state tree of Ohio, and its name is an original term of endearment for the pioneers on the


title: "Aesculus glabra" content: Ohio frontier, with specific association with William Henry Harrison. Capt. Daniel Davis of the Ohio Company of Associates, under Gen. Rufus Putnam, traversed the wilderness in the spring of 1788, and began the settlement of Ohio. Davis was said to be the second man ashore at Point Harmar, on April 7, 1788. He declared later that he cut the first tree felled by a settler west of the Ohio River, a "buckeye" tree. Additionally, Colonel Ebenezer Sproat, another founder of that same pioneer city of Marietta, had a tall and commanding presence; he greatly impressed the local Indians, who in


title: "Aesculus glabra" content: admiration dubbed him "Hetuck", meaning eye of the buck deer, or Big Buckeye. Subsequently, "buckeye" came to be used as the nickname and colloquial name for people from the state of Ohio and The Ohio State University's sports teams. Ohio State adopted "Buckeyes" officially as its nickname in 1950, and it came to be applied to any student or graduate of the university. Native Americans would blanch buckeye nuts, extracting the tannic acid for use in making leather. The nuts can also be dried, turning dark as they harden with exposure to the air, and strung into necklaces similar to


title: "Aesculus glabra" content: those made from the kukui nut in Hawaii. Buckeye candy, made to resemble the tree's nut, is made by dipping a ball of peanut butter fudge in milk chocolate, leaving a circle of the peanut butter exposed.
