title: Catnip content: Catnip Nepeta cataria, commonly known as catnip, catswort, and catmint, is a species of the genus "Nepeta" in the family Lamiaceae, native to southern and eastern Europe, the Middle East, central Asia, and parts of China. It is widely naturalized in northern Europe, New Zealand, and North America. The common name catmint can also refer to the genus as a whole. The names catnip and catmint are derived from the intense attraction about two-thirds of cats have towards them (alternative plants exist which attract the other one-third). "Nepeta cataria" is a short-lived perennial, herbaceous plant that grows to be tall


title: Catnip content: and wide, which blooms from late-spring to the autumn. In appearance, "N. cataria" resembles a typical member of the mint family of plants, featuring brown-green foliage with the characteristic square stem of the "Lamiaceae" family of plants. The coarse-toothed leaves are triangular to elliptical in shape. The small, bilabiate flowers of "N. cataria" are showy and fragrant, and are either pink in color or white with fine spots of pale purple. "Nepeta cataria" was one of the many species described by Linnaeus in 1753 in his landmark work "Species Plantarum". He had previously described it in 1738 as "" (meaning


title: Catnip content: ""Nepeta" with flowers in a stalked, interrupted spike"), before the commencement of Linnaean taxonomy. The plant terpenoid nepetalactone is the main chemical constituent of the essential oil of "Nepeta cataria". Nepetalactone can be extracted from catnip by steam distillation. "Nepeta cataria" is cultivated as an ornamental plant for use in gardens. It is also grown for its attractant qualities to house cats and butterflies. The plant is drought-tolerant and deer-resistant. It can be a repellent for certain insects, including aphids and squash bugs. Catnip is best grown in full sunlight and grows as a loosely branching, low perennial. Varieties include


title: Catnip content: "Nepeta cataria" var. "citriodora" (or "N. cataria" subsp. "citriodora"), or "lemon catnip". The compound iridodial, extracted from catnip oil, has been found to attract lacewings which eat aphids and mites. Nepetalactone is a mosquito and fly repellent. Oil isolated from catnip by steam distillation is a repellent against insects, in particular mosquitoes, cockroaches and termites. Research suggests that, while a more effective spatial repellant than DEET, it is not as effective as a repellent when used on the skin when compared with SS220 or DEET. Catnip has a history of use in traditional medicine for a variety of ailments. The


title: Catnip content: plant has been consumed as a tea, juice, tincture, infusion or poultice, and has also been smoked. However, its medicinal use has fallen out of favor with the development of more commonplace pharmaceutical drugs. Catnip contains the feline attractant nepetalactone. "Nepeta cataria" (and some other species within the genus "Nepeta") are known for their behavioral effects on the cat family, not only on domestic cats but also other species of cats. Several tests showed that leopards, cougars, servals, and lynxes often reacted strongly to catnip in a manner similar to domestic cats and while lions and tigers can react strongly


title: Catnip content: as well, they do not react as consistently. With domestic cats, "N. cataria" is used as a recreational substance for pet cats' enjoyment, and catnip and catnip-laced products designed for use with domesticated cats are available to consumers. Common behaviors cats display when they sense the bruised leaves or stems of catnip are rubbing on the plant, rolling on the ground, pawing at it, licking it, and chewing it. Consuming much of the plant is followed by drooling, sleepiness, anxiety, leaping about and purring. Some growl, meow, scratch or bite at the hand holding it. The main response period after


title: Catnip content: exposure is generally between five and fifteen minutes, after which olfactory fatigue usually sets in. Cats detect nepetalactone through their olfactory epithelium, not through their vomeronasal organ. At the olfactory epithelium, the nepetalactone binds to one or more olfactory receptors. About one-third of cats are not affected by catnip. The behavior is hereditary; an early 1962 pedigree analysis of 26 cats in a Siamese breeding colony, suggested that the catnip response was caused by a Mendelian dominant gene but a 2011 pedigree analysis of 210 cats in two breeding colonies (taking into account measurement error by repeated testing) showed no


title: Catnip content: evidence for Mendelian patterns of inheritance and demonstrated heritabilities of for catnip response behavior, indicating a polygenic liability threshold model. Other plants that have this effect on cats include valerian ("Valeriana officinalis") root and leaves; silver vine ("Actinidia polygama"), which is also called matatabi and is the most popular feline attractant in Asia, and Tatarian honeysuckle ("Lonicera tatarica") wood. It has been shown that many cats who do not respond to catnip do respond to one or more of these three alternatives.

Soon after they formed, the highly charged "freakout" style of the group's early live shows quickly established their reputation as ones to watch. Using a uniquely diverse arsenal of instruments (including analog synthesizers, autoharp, flute, drums, gongs, bells, chains, etc.), they attempted to develop

Pitchfork Media gave it a 7.5 rating and noted the "astonishing variety of percussive textures" whilst also praising the album's "molten, form-shifting splendor."

title: "35 mm equivalent focal length" content: 35 mm equivalent focal length In photography, the 35 mm equivalent focal length is a measure that indicates the angle of view of a particular combination of a camera lens and film or sensor size. The term is useful because most photographers experienced with interchangeable lenses are most familiar with the 35 mm film format. On any 35 mm film camera, a 28 mm lens is a wide-angle lens, and a 200 mm lens is a long-focus lens. However, now that digital cameras have mostly replaced 35 mm cameras, there is no uniform relation between the focal length of a


title: "35 mm equivalent focal length" content: lens and the angle of view, since the size of the camera sensor also determines angle of view, and sensor size is not standardized as film size was. The 35 mm equivalent focal length of a particular lens–sensor combination is the focal length that one would need for a 35 mm film camera to obtain the same angle of view. Most commonly, the 35 mm equivalent focal length is based on equal "diagonal" angle of view. This definition also in the CIPA guideline DCG-001. Alternatively, it may sometimes be based on "horizontal" angle of view. Since 35 mm film is

However, the term "man" is also sometimes used to identify a male human, regardless of age, as in phrases such as "men's basketball". Like most other male mammals, a man's genome typically inherits an X chromosome from his mother and a Y chromosome from his father. The male fetus produces larger amounts of androgens and smaller amounts of estrogens than a female fetus. This difference in the relative amounts

During puberty, hormones which stimulate androgen production result in the development of secondary sexual characteristics, thus exhibiting greater differences between the sexes. However, there are exceptions to the above for some transgender and intersex men. The English term "man" is derived from a Proto-Indo-European root "*man-" (see Sanskrit/Avestan "manu-", Slavic "mǫž" "man, male"). More directly, the word derives from Old English "mann." The Old English form had a default meaning of "adult male" (which was the exclusive meaning of "wer"), though it could also


title: Man content: signify a person of unspecified gender. The closely related Old English pronoun "man" was used just as it is in Modern German to designate "one" (e. g., in the saying "man muss mit den Wölfen heulen"). The Old English form is derived from Proto-Germanic "*mannz", "human being, person", which is also the etymon of German "Mann" "man, husband" and "man" "one" (pronoun), Old Norse "maðr", and Gothic "manna". According to Tacitus, the mythological progenitor of the Germanic tribes was called "Mannus". "*Manus" in Indo-European mythology was the first man, see Mannus, Manu (Hinduism).
