Look up, look out and look around. Be aware of overhead power lines at all times. If you must move equipment under a line, have someone watching to ensure an electrical contact doesn't occur.
Don't stack hay or round bales near electrical lines to avoid electrical contact with hay loaders or other moving equipment.
Always lower grain augers when moving from bin to bin.
Be aware of the location of down guywires and anchors on overhead power lines.
When moving farm equipment, know the loaded height of trucks and equipment so contact isn't made with overhead power lines on roads and around field entrances.
When working with a metal ladder, watch where the ladder's top end goes. Position and move the ladder carefully, making sure that it is set securely away from power lines.
Don't climb any tree or let children climb any tree that has power lines in or near it.
Contact OPPD if there is a potential for power lines and trees getting tangled. Contact Forestry or call 402-536-4131, or outside the metropolitan area, toll-free 877-536-4131.
For outdoor lighting and wiring, use only weather-proofed fixtures. Outside wiring and outlets should have special protection against moisture.
Call Nebraska811 to locate all underground utility lines before you begin a project.
If your kite gets caught in a power line, don't touch the line or the kite. Call OPPD and make sure nobody gets near the area until help arrives.
Never fly your kite in stormy weather. A kite can make you a very tall lightning rod.
Be mindful of others. Be especially aware of other people, coolers, chairs, and fences.
Don't fly noisy kites that disturb others.
Never scare animals, especially horses with riders.
Don't fly your kite near or over other people. Some fighting kites can reach speeds of 80 mph, so if they hit someone, a serious injury could result.
Don't fly your kite near trees, roads or vehicles.
Don't overpower yourself with a kite too big for the wind conditions.
Electricity travels in a path called a circuit. Your house is part of a circuit that begins at a power plant. When you flick a switch to turn on a light or start an appliance, you complete the circuit.
Check outlets and extension cords to make sure they aren't overloaded.
Examine electrical cords to make sure they aren't frayed, damaged or placed under rugs or carpets.
Make sure the proper wattage light bulbs are being used in light fixtures.
Keep all electrical products and cords away from water. Consider installing ground fault circuit interrupters on outlets near water. Never reach into water to get an appliance that has fallen in without first unplugging the appliance.
To avoid electric shock or damage to sensitive electronic equipment during a storm, unplug appliances before the storm hits, or install surge protection equipment.
Put safety covers on all wall outlets.
Keep electrical cords out of reach and out of sight to avoid children or pets.
Never replace a fuse or circuit breaker with one that exceeds the amperage rating for a given circuit.
Avoid using several high-amperage appliances, such as microwaves, toasters, irons or other heat-producing appliances, on the same circuit.
Use power tools outdoors only in dry weather. Stand on dry surfaces and use only dry materials.
Tools should be properly grounded wherever you use them. Consider purchasing a ground fault circuit interrupter.
Be sure all cords and plugs are in good condition.


This show is a completely unadulterated nostalgia trip celebrating nearly 50 years of the beloved classic BBC sitcom Dad's Army.
The familiar theme tune of "Who Do you think you are Kidding Mr Hitler?" plays out over the speakers. The lights then come up on a simple staged radio studio, complete with scripts, microphones and the traditional red on-air light making you feel very much part of a live studio audience.
This style of show hinges on the impersonations of the actors and David Benson and Jack Lane deliver an astounding performance flawlessly. As soon as you hear Benson's impersonation of the nasal tones of John Snagge providing the traditional introduction you know you're in for a treat.
Lane and Benson's talent shines through as they take on the daunting task of bringing the entire Dads Army cast to life. Expertly portraying these well-known and beloved characters with ease, bringing not only their voices but their subtle mannerisms to life on stage. The impersonations are done to such great effect that if you closed your eyes you could well believe the original cast were all there in the studio.
With Lane performing an impeccable Captain Mainwaring reminiscent of Arthur Lowe with all his pomp and frustration, then effortlessly switching to the anxious tones of Jones with "Don't panic Mr Mainwaring, don't panic" to then change again to the eager Pike constantly questioning. Benson is not outdone by this and brings the languid Sergeant Wilson to life, the bumbling characteristics of Godfrey and the iconic words of Fraser's "We're doomed" to name but a few.
Both Lane and Benson complement each other in their respective roles feeding of each other and delivering a harmonious performance of excellent calibre.
This is a must-see for fans of Dad's Army and will certainly not disappoint. Faultlessly delivering the timeless classic stories with incredible skill bringing much laughter to this year's Edinburgh Fringe.

Dillon Francis Thomas Falcone
You know what true magic is? It's the rush of elation you experience on the dance floor. It's looking into a stranger's eyes at a festival and knowing you're cut from the same cloth. It's hearing a funky bassline and knowing instinctually what to do with your hips and your hands and your feet, closing your eyes and letting go completely, lost in a moment in time and space.
Los Angeles superstar producer Dillon Francis has seen this magic at work with his own eyes, and it's the abracadabra at the heart of his mixtape Magic Is Real. The EP captures all sides of the man, from his hyphy heights to soulful dance-pop ballads with plenty of moombah madness along the way.
Dillon Francis Preps 'Magic Is Real' Mixtape, Drops 'Go Off (Nuthin' 2 It)' Video Starring Bevers…
He's teamed up with heavy hitters from across the board, with features including fellow producer Nitti Gritti, pop singer Vera Hotsauce, Trinidadian raga socca singer Bunji Garlin, NoLa bounce queen Big Freedia and Dutch DJ duo TV Noise. We caught up with Francis on the eve of the EP's release to get the full breakdown and premiere the rainbow-sparkle lyric video for the single "Barely Breathing."
1. "DFR"
This track kicks it off right, and I don't really know what else to say. I wanted to make a song that was just full-force energy throughout the whole song, and this really does it. The second drop is mint in my opinion – but I'm just the guy who made the song. Go listen to it yourself.
2. "Salsabahton (Shake That Booty)" feat. Nitti Gritti
This was an old song I was working on for ages but just never felt was fully done, and when Nitti Gritti and I got in the studio, it all clicked in one day. This song just makes you want to dance – period. That's what we wanted to do. Every time I play it live, you just hear "Oohhhhhhh shit" when the drop hits.
3. "Barely Breathing" feat. Vera Hotsauce
This is a super special song. I heard the demo from my friend Aryay, immediately looked at him and said "give me this, let's make this a bop!" Vera's voice is so special and moving in this. With each listen, you'll love it more and more, I promise.
4. "Bomboclat" feat. Bunji Garlin
This is the song on the mixtape where, if the party hasn't started yet wherever you are listening to this, then I haven't done my job. I've always wanted to make a song with Bunji Garlin, and he is the best. I literally sent this to him with like a week of leeway to get the song done, and he nailed it first try! We actually also have a full extended version that we're going to release later on.
5. "Bawdy" feat. TV Noise & Big Freedia
Back to that classic moombahton s–t. TV Noise are two of my favorite producers out there right now, and I just love working with them. Each time we get in the studio, ideas are just bouncing around like crazy. This is one of the ideas that stuck, and it hits so hard in the club. After we finished the instrumental, we got one of my favorite artists, Big Freedia, on it. I toured with Freedia in Europe back in 2013-2014, and watching her shows (if you haven't seen her perform live it's a must), I knew we needed to make a song together one day. Now, here we are.
6. "Go Off (Nuthin' 2 It)"
What can I say, I love house music. Always loved deep shit. If anything I had to take it "one deeper" for a friend of mine – you know who he is. This song is just fun as f–k. The vocal is so infectious and just gets stuck in your head. If you don't know the dance already, go watch the music video ASAP. It features John Gemberling (Bevers) from Broad City.
Who Won the Dillon Francis vs. Deadmau5 Dance-Off? Vote!
7. "Still Not Butter"
This actually started out as my intro song for my "Lost My Mind" tour with Alison Wonderland. As I was making it, though, I sent the intro to my friend Brandon Dermer (who made the first "Not Butter" music video), and I said "I think we have to make a new 'Not Butter' music video." During the whole process of making this song, we were also creating the idea for the music video, which if you haven't seen please go watch now. It'll f–k you up.
Magic Is Real is out everywhere Friday (Nov. 15), on Mad Decent. Watch the official lyric video for "Barely Breathing" with Vera Hotsauce below.

Alternation of generations (also known as metagenesis or heterogenesis) is the predominant type of life cycle in plants and algae. It consists of a multicellular haploid sexual phase, the gametophyte, which has a single set of chromosomes alternating with a multicellular diploid asexual phase, the sporophyte which has two sets of chromosomes.

A mature sporophyte produces haploid spores by meiosis, a process which reduces the number of chromosomes to half, from two sets to one. The resulting haploid spores germinate and grow into multicellular haploid gametophytes. At maturity, a gametophyte produces gametes by mitosis, the normal process of cell division in eukaryotes, which maintains the original number of chromosomes. Two haploid gametes (originating from different organisms of the same species or from the same organism) fuse to produce a diploid zygote, which divides repeatedly by mitosis, developing into a multicellular diploid sporophyte.  This cycle, from gametophyte to sporophyte (or equally from sporophyte to gametophyte), is the way in which all land plants and most algae undergo sexual reproduction.

The relationship between the sporophyte and gametophyte phases varies among different groups of plants. In the majority of algae, the sporophyte and gametophyte are separate independent organisms, which may or may not have a similar appearance. In liverworts, mosses and hornworts, the sporophyte is less well developed than the gametophyte and is largely dependent on it. Although moss and hornwort sporophytes can photosynthesise, they require additional photosynthate from the gametophyte to sustain growth and spore development and depend on it for supply of water, mineral nutrients and nitrogen. By contrast, in all modern vascular plants the gametophyte is less well developed than the sporophyte, although their Devonian ancestors had gametophytes and sporophytes of approximately equivalent complexity. In ferns the gametophyte is a small flattened autotrophic prothallus on which the young sporophyte is briefly dependent for its nutrition. In flowering plants, the reduction of the gametophyte is much more extreme; it consists of just a few cells which grow entirely inside the sporophyte.

Animals develop differently. They  produce haploid gametes. No haploid spores capable of dividing are produced, so generally there is no multicellular haploid phase. (Some insects have a sex-determining system whereby haploid males are produced from unfertilized eggs; however females produced from fertilized eggs are diploid.)

Life cycles of plants and algae with alternating haploid and diploid multicellular stages are referred to as diplohaplontic (the equivalent terms haplodiplontic, diplobiontic and dibiontic are also in use, as is describing such an organism as having a diphasic ontogeny). Life cycles, such as those of animals, in which there is only a diploid multicellular stage are referred to as diplontic. Life cycles in which there is only a haploid multicellular stage are referred to as haplontic.

Definition
Alternation of generations is defined as the alternation of multicellular diploid and haploid forms in the organism's life cycle, regardless of whether these forms are free-living. In some species, such as the alga Ulva lactuca, the diploid and haploid forms are indeed both free-living independent organisms, essentially identical in appearance and therefore said to be isomorphic. The free-swimming, haploid gametes form a diploid zygote which germinates into a multicellular diploid sporophyte.  The sporophyte produces free-swimming haploid spores by meiosis that germinate into haploid gametophytes.

However, in some other groups, either the sporophyte or the gametophyte is very much reduced and is incapable of free living. For example, in all bryophytes the gametophyte generation is dominant and the sporophyte is dependent on it.  By contrast, in all modern vascular land plants the gametophytes  are strongly reduced, although the fossil evidence indicates that they were derived from isomorphic ancestors. In seed plants, the female gametophyte develops totally within the sporophyte, which protects and nurtures it and the embryonic sporophyte that it produces. The pollen grains, which are the male gametophytes, are reduced to only a few cells (just three cells in many cases). Here the notion of two generations is less obvious; as Bateman & Dimichele say "[s]porophyte and gametophyte effectively function as a single organism". The alternative term 'alternation of phases' may then be more appropriate.

History
Debates about alternation of generations in the early twentieth century can be confusing because various ways of classifying "generations" co-exist (sexual vs. asexual, gametophyte vs. sporophyte, haploid vs. diploid, etc.).

Initially, Chamisso and Steenstrup described the succession of differently organized generations (sexual and asexual) in animals as "alternation of generations", while studying the development of tunicates, cnidarians and trematode animals. This phenomenon is also known as heterogamy. Presently, the term "alternation of generations" is almost exclusively associated with the life cycles of plants, specifically with the alternation of haploid gametophytes and diploid sporophytes.

Wilhelm Hofmeister demonstrated the morphological alternation of generations in plants, between a spore-bearing generation (sporophyte) and a gamete-bearing generation (gametophyte). By that time, a debate emerged focusing on the origin of the asexual generation of land plants (i.e., the sporophyte) and is conventionally characterized as a conflict between theories of antithetic (Čelakovský, 1874) and homologous (Pringsheim, 1876) alternation of generations.  Čelakovský coined the words sporophyte and gametophyte.

Eduard Strasburger (1874) discovered the alternation between diploid and haploid nuclear phases, also called cytological alternation of nuclear phases. Although most often coinciding, morphological alternation and nuclear phases alternation are sometimes independent of one another, e.g., in many red algae, the same nuclear phase may correspond to two diverse morphological generations. In some ferns which lost sexual reproduction, there is no change in nuclear phase, but the alternation of generations is maintained.

Alternation of generations in plants

Fundamental elements
The diagram above shows the fundamental elements of the alternation of generations in plants. The many variations found in different groups of plants are described by use of these concepts later in the article. Starting from the right of the diagram, the processes involved are as follows:

 Two single-celled haploid gametes, each containing n unpaired chromosomes, fuse to form a single-celled diploid zygote, which now contains n pairs of chromosomes, i.e. 2n chromosomes in total.
 The single-celled diploid zygote germinates, dividing by the normal process (mitosis), which maintains the number of chromosomes at 2n. The result is a multi-cellular diploid organism, called the sporophyte (because at maturity it produces spores).
 When it reaches maturity, the sporophyte produces one or more sporangia (singular: sporangium) which are the organs that produce diploid spore mother cells (sporocytes). These divide by a special process (meiosis) that reduces the number of chromosomes by a half. This initially results in four single-celled haploid spores, each containing n unpaired chromosomes.
 The single-celled haploid spore germinates, dividing by the normal process (mitosis), which maintains the number of chromosomes at n. The result is a multi-cellular haploid organism, called the gametophyte (because it produces gametes at maturity).
 When it reaches maturity, the gametophyte produces one or more gametangia (singular: gametangium) which are the organs that produce haploid gametes. At least one kind of gamete possesses some mechanism for reaching another gamete in order to fuse with it.
The 'alternation of generations' in the life cycle is thus between a diploid (2n) generation of sporophytes and a haploid (n) generation of gametophytes.

The situation is quite different from that in animals, where the fundamental process is that a diploid (2n) individual  produces haploid (n) gametes by meiosis. In animals, spores (i.e. haploid cells which are able to undergo mitosis) are not produced, so there is no asexual multi-cellular generation. Some insects have haploid males that develop from unfertilized eggs, but the females are all diploid.

Variations
The diagram shown above is a good representation of the life cycle of some multi-cellular algae (e.g. the genus Cladophora) which have sporophytes and gametophytes of almost identical appearance and which do not have different kinds of spores or gametes.

However, there are many possible variations on the fundamental elements of a life cycle which has alternation of generations. Each variation may occur separately or in combination, resulting in a bewildering variety of life cycles. The terms used by botanists in describing these life cycles can be equally bewildering. As Bateman and Dimichele say "[...] the alternation of generations has become a terminological morass; often, one term represents several concepts or one concept is represented by several terms."

Possible variations are:
 Relative importance of the sporophyte and the gametophyte.
 Equal (homomorphy or isomorphy).Filamentous algae of the genus Cladophora, which are predominantly found in fresh water, have diploid sporophytes and haploid gametophytes which are externally indistinguishable. No living land plant has equally dominant sporophytes and gametophytes, although some theories of the evolution of alternation of generations suggest that ancestral land plants did.
 Unequal (heteromorphy or anisomorphy).
 Dominant gametophyte (gametophytic).In liverworts, mosses and hornworts, the dominant form is the haploid gametophyte. The diploid sporophyte is not capable of an independent existence, gaining most of its nutrition from the parent gametophyte, and having no chlorophyll when mature.
 Dominant sporophyte (sporophytic).In ferns, both the sporophyte and the gametophyte are capable of living independently, but the dominant form is the diploid sporophyte. The haploid gametophyte is much smaller and simpler in structure. In seed plants, the gametophyte is even more reduced (at the minimum to only three cells), gaining all its nutrition from the sporophyte. The extreme reduction in the size of the gametophyte and its retention within the sporophyte means that when applied to seed plants the term 'alternation of generations' is somewhat misleading: "[s]porophyte and gametophyte effectively function as a single organism". Some authors have preferred the term 'alternation of phases'.
 Differentiation of the gametes.
 Both gametes the same (isogamy).Like other species of Cladophora, C. callicoma has flagellated gametes which are identical in appearance and ability to move.
 Gametes of two distinct sizes (anisogamy).
 Both of similar motility.Species of Ulva, the sea lettuce, have gametes which all have two flagella and so are motile. However they are of two sizes: larger 'female' gametes and smaller 'male' gametes.
 One large and sessile, one small and motile (oogamy). The larger sessile megagametes are eggs (ova), and smaller motile microgametes are sperm (spermatozoa, spermatozoids). The degree of motility of the sperm may be very limited (as in the case of flowering plants) but all are able to move towards the sessile eggs. When (as is almost always the case) the sperm and eggs are produced in different kinds of gametangia, the sperm-producing ones are called antheridia (singular antheridium) and the egg-producing ones archegonia (singular archegonium).
 Antheridia and archegonia occur on the same gametophyte, which is then called monoicous. (Many sources, including those concerned with bryophytes, use the term 'monoecious' for this situation and 'dioecious' for the opposite. Here 'monoecious' and 'dioecious' are used only for sporophytes.)The liverwort Pellia epiphylla has the gametophyte as the dominant generation. It is monoicous: the small reddish sperm-producing antheridia are scattered along the midrib while the egg-producing archegonia grow nearer the tips of divisions of the plant.
 Antheridia and archegonia occur on different gametophytes, which are then called dioicous.The moss Mnium hornum has the gametophyte as the dominant generation. It is dioicous: male plants produce only antheridia in terminal rosettes, female plants produce only archegonia in the form of stalked capsules. Seed plant gametophytes are also dioicous. However, the parent sporophyte may be monoecious, producing both male and female gametophytes or dioecious, producing gametophytes of one gender only. Seed plant gametophytes are extremely reduced in size; the archegonium consists only of a small number of cells, and the entire male gametophyte may be represented by only two cells.
 Differentiation of the spores.
 All spores the same size (homospory or isospory).Horsetails (species of Equisetum) have spores which are all of the same size.
 Spores of two distinct sizes (heterospory or anisospory): larger megaspores and smaller microspores. When the two kinds of spore are produced in different kinds of sporangia, these are called megasporangia and microsporangia. A megaspore often (but not always) develops at the expense of the other three cells resulting from meiosis, which abort.
 Megasporangia and microsporangia occur on the same sporophyte, which is then called monoecious.Most flowering plants fall into this category. Thus the flower of a lily contains six stamens (the microsporangia) which produce microspores which develop into pollen grains (the microgametophytes), and three fused carpels which produce integumented megasporangia (ovules) each of which produces a megaspore which develops inside the megasporangium to produce the megagametophyte. In other plants, such as hazel, some flowers have only stamens, others only carpels, but the same plant (i.e. sporophyte) has both kinds of flower and so is monoecious.
 Megasporangia and microsporangia occur on different sporophytes, which are then called dioecious.An individual tree of the European holly (Ilex aquifolium) produces either 'male' flowers which have only functional stamens (microsporangia) producing microspores which develop into pollen grains (microgametophytes) or 'female' flowers which have only functional carpels producing integumented megasporangia (ovules) that contain a megaspore that develops into a multicellular megagametophyte.

There are some correlations between these variations, but they are just that, correlations, and not absolute. For example, in flowering plants, microspores ultimately produce microgametes (sperm) and megaspores ultimately produce megagametes (eggs). However, in ferns and their allies there are groups with undifferentiated spores but differentiated gametophytes. For example, the fern Ceratopteris thalictrioides has spores of only one kind, which vary continuously in size. Smaller spores tend to germinate into gametophytes which produce only sperm-producing antheridia.

A complex life cycle

The diagram shows the alternation of generations in a species which is heteromorphic, sporophytic, oogametic, dioicous, heterosporic and dioecious. A seed plant example might be a willow tree (most species of the genus Salix are dioecious). Starting in the centre of the diagram, the processes involved are:
 An immobile egg, contained in the archegonium, fuses with a mobile sperm, released from an antheridium. The resulting zygote is either 'male' or 'female'.
 A 'male' zygote develops by mitosis into a microsporophyte, which at maturity produces one or more microsporangia. Microspores develop within the microsporangium by meiosis.In a willow (like all seed plants) the zygote first develops into an embryo microsporophyte within the ovule (a megasporangium enclosed in one or more protective layers of tissue known as integument). At maturity, these structures become the seed. Later the seed is shed, germinates and grows into a mature tree. A 'male' willow tree (a microsporophyte) produces flowers with only stamens, the anthers of which are the microsporangia.
 Microspores germinate producing microgametophytes; at maturity one or more antheridia are produced. Sperm develop within the antheridia.In a willow,  microspores are not liberated from the anther (the microsporangium), but develop into pollen grains (microgametophytes) within it. The whole pollen grain is moved (e.g. by an insect or by the wind) to an ovule (megagametophyte), where a sperm is produced which moves down a pollen tube to reach the egg.
 A 'female' zygote develops by mitosis into a megasporophyte, which at maturity produces one or more megasporangia. Megaspores develop within the megasporangium; typically one of the four spores produced by meiosis gains bulk at the expense of the remaining three, which disappear.'Female' willow trees (megasporophytes) produce flowers with only carpels (modified leaves that bear the megasporangia).
 Megaspores germinate producing megagametophytes; at maturity one or more archegonia are produced. Eggs develop within the archegonia. The carpels of a willow produce ovules, megasporangia enclosed in integuments. Within each ovule, a megaspore develops by mitosis into a megagametophyte. An archegonium develops within the megagametophyte and produces an egg. The whole of the gametophytic 'generation' remains within the protection of the sporophyte except for pollen grains (which have been reduced to just three cells contained within the microspore wall).

Life cycles of different plant groups
The term "plants" is taken here to mean the Archaeplastida, i.e. the glaucophytes, red and green algae and land plants.

Alternation of generations occurs in almost all multicellular red and green algae, both freshwater forms (such as Cladophora) and seaweeds (such as Ulva). In most, the generations are homomorphic (isomorphic) and free-living. Some species of red algae have a complex triphasic alternation of generations, in which there is a gametophyte phase and two distinct sporophyte phases. For further information, see Red algae: Reproduction.

Land plants all have heteromorphic (anisomorphic) alternation of generations, in which the sporophyte and gametophyte are distinctly different. All bryophytes, i.e. liverworts, mosses and hornworts, have the gametophyte generation as the most conspicuous. As an illustration, consider a monoicous moss. Antheridia and archegonia develop on the mature plant (the gametophyte). In the presence of water, the biflagellate sperm from the antheridia swim to the archegonia and fertilisation occurs, leading to the production of a diploid sporophyte. The sporophyte grows up from the archegonium. Its body comprises a long stalk topped by a capsule within which spore-producing cells undergo meiosis to form haploid spores. Most mosses rely on the wind to disperse these spores, although Splachnum sphaericum is entomophilous, recruiting  insects to disperse its spores. For further information, see Liverwort: Life cycle, Moss: Life cycle, Hornwort: Life cycle.

In ferns and their allies, including clubmosses and horsetails, the conspicuous plant observed in the field is the diploid sporophyte. The haploid spores develop in sori on the underside of the fronds and are dispersed by the wind (or in some cases, by floating on water). If conditions are right, a spore will germinate and grow into a rather inconspicuous plant body called a prothallus. The haploid prothallus does not resemble the sporophyte, and as such ferns and their allies have a heteromorphic alternation of generations. The prothallus is short-lived, but carries out sexual reproduction, producing the diploid zygote that then grows out of the prothallus as the sporophyte. For further information, see Fern: Life cycle.

In the spermatophytes, the seed plants, the sporophyte is the dominant multicellular phase; the gametophytes are strongly reduced in size and very different in morphology. The entire gametophyte generation, with the sole exception of pollen grains (microgametophytes), is contained within the sporophyte. The life cycle of a dioecious flowering plant (angiosperm), the willow, has been outlined in some detail in an earlier section (A complex life cycle). The life cycle of a gymnosperm is similar. However, flowering plants have in addition a phenomenon called 'double fertilization'. Two sperm nuclei from a pollen grain (the microgametophyte), rather than a single sperm, enter the archegonium of the megagametophyte; one fuses with the egg nucleus to form the zygote, the other fuses with two other nuclei of the gametophyte to form 'endosperm', which nourishes the developing embryo.

It has been proposed that the basis for the emergence of the diploid phase of the life cycle (sporophyte) as the dominant phase (e.g. as in vascular plants) is that diploidy allows masking of the expression of deleterious mutations through genetic complementation. Thus if one of the parental genomes in the diploid cells contained mutations leading to defects in one or more gene products, these deficiencies could be compensated for by the other parental genome (which nevertheless may have its own defects in other genes).  As the diploid phase was becoming predominant, the masking effect likely allowed genome size, and hence information content, to increase without the constraint of having to improve accuracy of DNA replication.  The opportunity to increase information content at low cost was advantageous because it permitted new adaptations to be encoded. This view has been challenged, with evidence showing that selection is no more effective in the haploid than in the diploid phases of the lifecycle of mosses and angiosperms.

Similar processes in other organisms

Rhizaria

Some organisms currently classified in the clade Rhizaria and thus not plants in the sense used here, exhibit alternation of generations.  Most Foraminifera undergo a heteromorphic alternation of generations between haploid gamont and diploid agamont forms. The diploid form is typically much larger than the haploid form; these forms are known as the microsphere and megalosphere, respectively.

Fungi
Fungal mycelia are typically haploid. When mycelia of different mating types meet, they produce two multinucleate ball-shaped cells, which join via a "mating bridge". Nuclei move from one mycelium into the other, forming a heterokaryon (meaning "different nuclei"). This process is called plasmogamy. Actual fusion to form diploid nuclei is called karyogamy, and may not occur until sporangia are formed. Karogamy produces a diploid zygote, which is a short-lived sporophyte that soon undergoes meiosis to form haploid spores. When the spores germinate, they develop into new mycelia.

Slime moulds
The life cycle of slime moulds is very similar to that of fungi. Haploid spores germinate to form swarm cells or myxamoebae.  These fuse in a process referred to as plasmogamy and karyogamy to form a diploid zygote. The zygote develops into a plasmodium, and the mature plasmodium produces, depending on the species, one to many fruiting bodies containing haploid spores.

Animals
Alternation between a multicellular diploid and a multicellular haploid generation is never encountered in animals. In some animals, there is an alternation between parthenogenic and sexually reproductive phases (heterogamy).  Both phases are diploid. This has sometimes been called "alternation of generations", but is quite different. In some other animals, such as hymenopterans, males are haploid and females diploid, but this is always the case rather than there being an alternation between distinct generations.

Violence Against Women continue to spike in Kenya amid the Pandemic
Reports keep surfacing of the gross violations of the rights of women in Kenya. Women keep experiencing gender-based violence in their homes and communities. These abuses have called for more shelters to be provided to keep victims safe. Women and girls report cases of abuse including rape, child marriage and murder. Despite available statistics, there is the fear of underreporting as many cases remain unreported as a result of fear and stigma.

Gerard Casey (c. 1960 – 4 April 1989) was a member of the 1st North Antrim Brigade of the Provisional Irish Republican Army.
Casey a Catholic, first joined the IRA in 1985. Like some of his colleagues, his membership was clandestine. In October 1988 Casey's home in Shamrock Park outside Rasharkin (Ros Earcáin) was raided by the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC). While there they removed a legally held shotgun and drew maps of the interior of the house. Casey was charged with possession of explosives, and was taken away to Castlereagh holding centre.
On 4 April 1989 two members of the Ulster Defence Association (UDA, a loyalist paramilitary group), wearing balaclavas and green army jackets, burst into his house and shot him with a shotgun and a pistol from close range as he slept. Only Casey was killed in the attack; his wife, who was beside him in the bed, and three children were not harmed. The funeral was kept private for family members only. Neighbours described him as "a quiet family man with no interest in any political activities", and even Democratic Unionist Party leader Ian Paisley condemned the killing as "a diabolical crime showing devilish viciousness" such was the lack of knowledge about Casey's IRA membership. The Conflict Archive on the Internet states that Casey was killed by the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF), in disagreement with other sources.
The fact that Casey's IRA membership had not been well-known led to the suggestions that the security forces had passed on information about his membership to the loyalists. Casey's relatives maintained that there was RUC collusion with those who killed Casey, and no-one has been charged with his murder. Casey said before his death that his life had been threatened by the RUC. Sinn Féin have called for a full and independent investigation into his death.
Casey's brother Liam, also a member of the IRA, had been killed in a car accident two years previously in 1987.
In 2005 Gerard Casey's wife Una and the relatives of other murdered Irish republicans criticised Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) member John Dallat for not condemning the murders at the time but later raising them for political benefit. Dallat responded by saying he condemned all murders.

The Debunker: Did Kim Jong-il Claim to Have Shot Five Holes in One the First Time He Ever Golfed?
The despotic, cult-like Kim dynasty has ruled the nation of North Korea since its 1948 founding. You probably assume that Kim Jong-un is the North Korean president today, but that's not technically true. According to the country's constitution, Kim is currently the "Supreme Leader" of the country, but the title of "Eternal President" stays with his father and grandfather, Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il. They will always be the official heads of state, though they died in 1994 and 2011, respectively. And you thought American millennials would never be able to retire!
In fact, the story started in 1994, when Australian reporter Eric Ellis snuck into North Korea by posing as a golf course developer, hoping to write a story about the famine there. Park Young-nam, North Korea's only pro golfer, showed Ellis around, and regaled him all the while with tales of "Dear Leader"'s amazing acumen on the links—including, one occasion, five holes-in-one. But this wasn't an official North Korean claim, just one brainwashed citizen telling panicky tall tales to a tourist. Subsequent reports from North Korea have revealed that officials are unaware of the golf story that so delighted the West—and that North Korea's population was unaware that Kim played golf at all. In North Korea, golf is an elite sport, out of line with the Kims' image as champions of the common worker. Like all the expensive tastes of the Kim dynasty—the lobsters, the yachts, the Hennessy—Kim Jong-il's golf game never made it into the propaganda.
Quick Quiz: A record 517-yard hole-in-one was hit in 2002 by an amateur golfer in what U.S. city—perhaps the only U.S. city where it would be possible?

The United Nations is the successor of the League of Nations, and was founded shortly after World War II. Its main headquarters is situated in New York on land donated by John D. Rockefeller Jr (who also provided much of the funding for the UN's predecessor).
Structure and policy Edit
The United Nations is a public-private partnership, one of the worlds' first. Its policy appears to be largely written by, among others:
Rockefeller Foundation
United Nations Plan for World Governance Edit
The world is to be a Federation, which is an architecture where power is centralised, then devolved to lower levels as appropriate. Sometimes which level makes the decision on something is written into a constitution.
The world will be broken up into regions, then those regions into smaller regions, then into smaller regions again.
As best as can be determined at the moment, the world will be divided into:
The Euro-African Union
The Asia Pacific Union
The Americas Union
The European Union as the Model Edit
The Elites see the European Union as the model for the rest of the world. Europe is the region most divided politically and historically and what works in Europe will be used in other regions, so we can use the EU to get an idea of what will be applied worldwide.
Currently in the EU there is a small commission at the top steering policy, this is called the EU Commission. It compromises the College of Commissioners (27 appointed bureaucrats) and around 25,000 civil servants. This is the main institution that runs the European Union, doing so in a similar way to how the British Empire ran the Indian Subcontinent. The Commission has the sole power in EU institutions to initiate new legislation and issues a variety of dictats to member states ordering compliance.
There is actually a small body called the European Council (not to be confused with the Council of Europe) which is believed to be above the Commission and act as steering committee behind the scenes while the media focuses on the Commissioners.
Except for the European courts and the Committee on the Regions, the other institutions, like the Parliament, are just for show and serve no real purpose.
The nations making up the European region have been further sub divided into smaller regions. This was largely done in secret behind the backs of the people with little to no media coverage. In the case of the United Kingdom it was implemented through the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM), an office the media portrayed as a sinecure. The man mostly responsible was John Prescott MP, who the media famously stereotyped as playing croquet because he had nothing to do. On the contrary he was destroying his own country. Interestingly the organisation Common Purpose has links with the ODPM.
John Prescott offered a referendum on whether to have regional government, however the government fixed the debate by allowing only one area of Britain to take part, the area they felt most likely to vote for the regional government. Even so the people voted against these new subregions ( link ), so the politicians quietly ignored the vote and set up the regional governance anyway, all over England. The media has ignored this issue.
In every region certain institutions are set up:
A Regional Assembly
A Regional Executive
A Regional Development Agency
England is now divided into nine regions with these institutions. They report to a central organisation called the 'Committee of the Regions' (CoR) in Brussels.
London is often treated differently and sometimes called a 'city region' so the public do not always connect it to regionalism, but the institutions that have been created to govern it are really the same as the other regions, so it is safe to say that it is part of the same agenda. London may operate slightly differently because its regional government process began earlier so it can be considered to be further along in the process.
Another break is made with the nations that make up the United Kingdom. Here the process is called 'devolution' and to the public the process is represented as an entirely separate thing. However the institutions that have been set up in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland through the devolution process are almost exactly the same as regionalism. There may be small differences due to local history but this is really the same process under a different name and branding.
EU documents refer to these so called nations as 'regions of the European Union' exactly as they refer to devolved English reasons. If these two processes were put together it would put pay to the lie that devolution is all about restoring sovereignty to those nations and hence undermine support for the process, this is why the liar politicians have branded them differently. This is hardcore evidence of criminality and conspiracy.
Most of the people are completely unaware of these developments and of those that are, laughably, almost all will deny that it has anything to do with the EU, because their establishment media lies to them. It would be useful to collect an archive of such lies and ignorance so that it can be shown up after the fact.
Due to expose of the regionalisation by anti-NWO groups, politicians have announced that regional assemblies will be closed down. The conservative government elected in 2010 claims to be anti regionalisation, a lie, but they may need to pretend to be attacking regionalism.
Recently news reports have begun to appear of files, documents, offices and bureaucrats being moved out of Westminster, this is a sign that democracy in the UK is being shut down for good. The media informs us it is "to save money". ( link ) ( link ) ( link )
It was recently reported that the London Assembly, held up to the people as their regional governance chamber, is a privately owned building by private corporation. People who try to take photographs of it or film it 'without permission', or display any other signs of 'suspicious behaviour' are approached by private corporate security and told they will be under arrest unless they leave. ( Youtube link ) This means that likely all these buildings are private corporations and not in anyway associated with the public sector. The establishments fake socialist politicians have defended this state of affairs on TV.

United Nations System of National Accounts Edit
One of the United Nations many organisations is The United Nations System of National Accounts. The aim of UNSNA is to provide an integrated, complete system accounts enabling international comparisons of all significant economic activity. Civil servants at the national level are expected to conform to UN standards. GDP is therfore used as the main measure of an economy by UN command. Revisions to accounting rules are coordinated by the Intersecretariat Working Group on National Accounts (ISWGNA)

On this day in 1968, Martin Luther King Jnr. (January 15, 1929–April 4, 1968), an American Baptist minister and activist who became the most visible spokesperson and leader in the civil rights movement in the United States from 1954 through 1968, was fatally shot at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee and was rushed to St. Joseph's Hospital, where he later died.
King was a prominent leader of the Civil Rights Movement and Nobel Peace Prize laureate who was known for his use of nonviolence and civil disobedience. His last words were to musician Ben Branch, who was scheduled to perform that night at a planned event.

6 Legacy and Aftermath
1. Martin Luther King was born Michael Lewis King. His father changed his own name to Martin Luther, after the German preacher and reformist, and he renamed his son the same.
2. King suffered from depression throughout much of his life. As a child, he befriended a white boy whose father owned a business near his family's home. When the boys were six, they started school: King had to attend a school for African Americans and the other boy went to one for whites. King lost his friend because the child's father no longer wanted the boys to play together.
3. At the age of 12, King blamed himself for his grandmother's death and attempted suicide by jumping out of a second-story window but he survived.

Craig Sheffer, David Cronenberg, Anne Bobby
| United States
A community of mutant outcasts of varying types and abilities attempts to escape the attention of a psychotic serial killer and redneck vigilantes with the help of a brooding young man who discovers them. Based on the novel "Cabal" by Clive Barker. But, wait, there's more... Only seen in a few cities in the US, this special edition restores nearly an hour of footage that was previously thought lost and with it restores Barker's original vision for the film.The original theatrical version of Nightbreed was removed from Clive Barker's directorial control and heavily cut and reworked by the studio, creating an extremely watered down monster movie for mass consumption.

The Cabal Cut was directed by Russell Cherrington, Edited by Jimmi Johnson, and Produced by Mark Miller (Seraphim).Don't miss the Pacific Northwest premiere of this landmark film restoration, including an introduction and Q&A with restoration director Russell Cherrington!

Swim Across America (SAA) is coming to Nashville for the first time ever with the help of five-time Olympic gold medalist swimmer Missy Franklin on April 23.
SAA is dedicated to raising money and awareness for cancer research, prevention and treatment through swimming-related events. With the help of hundreds of volunteers nationwide, as well as past and current Olympians, Swim Across America is helping find a cure for cancer through athleticism, community outreach and direct service.
"Having Missy be a part of our team organizing this inaugural event in Nashville has been so helpful," says Chris McPhearson, the Nashville SAA event director. "We are really excited to bring Swim Across America to Nashville and have already gotten a great response from local Nashville residents who want to help #makewaves to #fightcancer."
Funds raised by Swim Across America at the Nashville event will go directly to support cancer research at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center. Vanderbilt-Ingram is an inclusive, collaborative, interdisciplinary cancer research community with more than 280 members dedicated to advancing discoveries in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment for both adult and pediatric cancers.

"I'm beyond excited to be part of the inaugural swim in Nashville that will raise much-needed funds for crucial cancer research," says Franklin. "Working with the local event director Chris McPherson has been great. Chis is passionate about finding better ways to treat cancer and to doing that by bringing Swim Across America to Nashville. It's going to be a really fun, inspirational day!"
The Swim Across America Nashville event will be a team relay charity swim held Saturday, April 23 at the Ensworth Natatorium, Frist Campus. Registration is a $50 self-donation with all proceeds benefitting the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center. Those interested in participating can register at swimacrossamerica.org/nashville.

Throughout its years, SAA has raised $100 million in the fight against cancer. More than 150 Olympians support SAA, including Franklin, Michael Phelps, Craig Beardsley, Donna De Varona, Rowdy Gaines, Janel Jorgensen McArdle, Bobby Hackett, Ryan Lochte, Glenn Mills, Elizabeth Beisel, Jenny Thompson, Cristina Teuscher and more.

Consider selling merchandise that will not go out of style in 5 days. The Internet meme merchandizing of recent times has caused me to visit this business less and less often, while the climbing prices only add insult to injury. "Tasteful" has never been a word to describe this business, and I never minded that, but in the last few years the term "Dignity" not only died, its corpse was dug back up, beaten with a shovel, and then slapped on an ironic T-shirt that costs $25 or more.
Although, when I think about it, maybe I should have switched dignity and tasteful.

And there is no wonder why it happened, as Johnny was considered to be one of the most handsome men in Hollywood.
Sally Field about Johnny Carson
While appearing at the Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Sally Field was asked by the host whether she was dating Johnny Carson. While remembering that times there was constantly a smile on her face, and it is evident they had an awesome time together.
Sally Field added that actually, it was not just one date but more, as it was very hard to refuse.
I was never a person that knew how to say no to people. I mean, when it came down to other things... but ultimately the way I could get out of things is to tell people I lost my mind.

Sally Field also revealed she broke up with Johnny Carson by faking a breakdown. And it seems that those trick worked.
I think with Johnny I told him I was having a breakdown and was being sent away. I couldn't figure out how just to say, "I'm really just not into this, it's not what I want." I just said, "I'm so sorry, I gotta go away, they're going to put me in a home."

By the way, Sally appeared on Johnny Carson's show in 1979. At that time, she was in a relationship with Burt Reynolds.
Johnny Carson, who hosted The Tonight Show for 30 years, unfortunately, passed away back in 2005 at the age of 79. He was such a talented television host, and is still remembered by so many people!

Defy Perils of War to Get Scenes Shown in "The White Sister" (Santa Cruz Evening News, 1924)
Santa Cruz Evening News, Volume 33, Number 107, 5 March 1924
Defy' Perils of War To Get Scenes Shown In "The White Sister"
One of the most exciting and dangerous locations ever used in the making of a motion picture was visited by Henry King's production unit of "The White Sister," the .Metro Inspiration special, opening a two day's engagement at the New Santa Cruz theater, today, in which Lillian Gish stars. It was necessary to get some desert scenes, and in order to do this the company was forced to go to Algeria, where the natives were warring on the Italian government. Under military guard night and day, the actors were constantly in danger of being attacked by wild Mohammedan, fighters. As if to emphasize the danger, they were incurring, the actors and mechanical staff were treated to the sight of a troop of Italian cavalry bringing into Tripoli, the capital city, 500 prisoners who had been captured in a severe engagement the preceding day.
The White Sister – behind the scenes
Have Pleasant Dreams
It was in the country where this battle had been fought that the actors were going to get color for the stirring scenes of the story dealing with the capture of the hero by Arabs. "We could not wait for the rebellion to end," said Ronald Colman, who played the role of Giovanni, "and against the advice of Giuseppi Wolpi, the governor-general of the province, -we concluded to go out to our location on the desert forty miles from the capital city. So serious was the fighting that the city was surrounded by barbed wire entanglements. Owing to the co-operation of the Italian government, though, we were given a military escort, a battalion of 500 infantrymen and 150 native loyal camel-troops under command of officers were assigned to us.
Taste of Real Thing
"It was most aweing to see the prisoners being brought in by the victors. It was a taste of real warfare. The prisoners were sullen and defiant. We took possession of the block house which, had been captured by the Italian troops and there for six days, constantly being disturbed by rumors of the approach of the insurrectionists -we shot all the scenes necessary. "Regular military discipline was maintained and every precaution taken to guard against surprise. Every day scouts from the camel troop pushed into the desert to make reconnaissance. It is most inspiring to see these ungainly beasts start out. They are used on the desert because horses can not stand the going of the sand. The camels make speed that seems incredible. Warned of attacks, outposts were established and wire entanglements were stretched about our encampment. Several times we were warned that bands of insurrectionists were preparing to attack us, and the troops made ready for a desperate engagement, as the fanatical rebels defied death in their struggle against Italy. Detachments from our guard put a force to rout without firing a shot, as the rebels recognized the superior force. "All of us at one time or other have been locked out of our homes, but never before have I been locked out of a city. When we had finished our work in the desert we started back for the city. The journey of forty miles took longer than we had calculated. The gates of the city are locked at 9 o'clock and we found them locked against us on our arrival. We had to go back six miles to a block house and telephone in to have the gates opened for us." "The White Sister," by F. Marion Crawford, is a Henry King production, made by Inspiration Pictures, Charles H. Duell, Jr., president, and is released through Metro.

The art of painting at the time of Rubens had a very clear economic value: large altarpieces and monumental paintings were the big winners, although VIP portraits could also gain the artist considerable fame. Landscapes and still life, however, didn't achieve nearly as much return on investment. Rubens aimed for the top and didn't get involved in the so-called inferior arts.
It was only later on in life that he would paint for pleasure and out of enjoyment.
By then, he had left Antwerp and resided with his second wife, Helena Fourment, at his stately home Het Steen in Elewijt, Brabant. Rubens was happy and in love during the time at his country estate, something that is noticeable in his work – he paints with a softness and produces stunning landscapes.
Don't miss the beautiful painting of his other stately home in Ekeren on display at Rubens House.
If you would like to admire the Flemish landscapes first hand, I would recommend a bike ride through the Pajottenland or following the Stille Waters route around the Scheldt and Rupel.
And for those of you who are experienced bikers, why not venture out on one of the Flemish classics, such as the Tour of Flanders? Not that keen on biking? A visit to Gaasbeek castle is an absolute must. Not only are you treated to interesting exhibitions but the gardens overlook the beautiful and rolling landscape.
Another top tip is a trip to the Limburg fruit region. Plan your visit during the blossom season for an extra magical treat. Or go for a stroll in the Hallerbos where, between mid-April and mid-May, the bluebells transform the woods into a purple feast for the eyes. From far and wide, this picturesque blossom draws in the crowd.
Alternatively, enjoy a breath of fresh air at The Zwin, the international stopover point for migratory birds on our Belgian coast.

The hidden city gardens of Flanders
During the 17th century when Peter Paul Rubens was around, having a garden was a true status symbol. It is, after all, the ultimate reflection of your wealth. Rubens once grew potato plants and tulips in his garden. The potato plant is an ornamental plant from America and tulips are very expensive.
Go on a modern pilgrimage through Flanders
A pilgrimage is a journey to a place of important significance, somewhere that we often link to religion. But art can also be a form of religion. After Rubens' death, many artists went on a journey to visit his tomb at the St James' Church.
Flanders is beautiful.
I'd love to show you around some more of the region.
Rubens: painter, interior architect and designer
Rubens is an artistic jack-of-all-trades: painter and diplomat, architect and... designer. As a designer, he produces sketches for silver jugs, dishes and other luxury artefacts, asking friends who are young and talented artists to produce the objects.
The Flemish Masters in architecture through the years
Rubens was a man who had no issue stepping out of his comfort zone. Not only his artistic brilliance, but also his eye for diplomacy and grandeur in general were held in great esteem, something he gratefully used to his advantage.
Enlightened in Flanders
In 17th century painting, there is a clear hierarchy. Mythological and religious scenes, as well as portraits, are the ultimate in painting. Still life, flowers in vases and landscapes are on the bottom of the wishlist.
