If I had lived during the Holocaust, the hardships would include lack of shelter, starvation, and survival. To start, people struggled to find a safe shelter. The book Milkweed is about a boy who has to change the locations of his shelter to be able to survive. I know that during this time period a lot of people who were jewish were taken to concentration camps were they were forced to work and were treated harshly. Because of this people had to change the location of their shelter to escape getting caught. Additionally, people also had to face the struggles of starvation. Since hitler and his nazis were killing off a lot of people, the people who owned food stores could no longer sell food. This meant that people couldn’t get the same amount

Eucalyptus Camaldulensis (see image 6), commonly known as River red gums is one of the 800 species of the genus Eucalyptus. River red gums are the most populous of the eucalyptus genus (see image 8) commonly found near the Murrumbidgee River and the Darling River.
Trebonianus Gallus was appointed as the emperor after the previous emperor Decius was killed by the Goths. Gallus was made emperor by his soldiers and his first act as emperor he made a truce with the Goths letting them return home with their plunder and prisoners, agreeing to pay them if they did not attack them again. Gallus then quickly marched back to Rome, hoping to secure his position as emperor by assuring good relations with the senate. After Gallus returned to Rome he appointed Decius’ younger son Hostilianus as Augustus to stand alongside Gallus as his imperial colleague. In order not to aggravate Decius’ widow, Gallus did not elevate his wife, Baebiana, to the rank of Augusta.
We found this red alder on March 26th 1806 along the Cowlitz river, in Washington. We have recently learnt that red alder is used for 'pulpwood, furniture, cabinet work and tool handles'. Indians would take red dye and make canoes and dye fishing nets. These trees would grow in North America along lots of rivers. The would was known to be extremely strong so you also make homes out of the bark
Cyriacus Pizzecolli was a true Renaissance man. At age 30 he felt the calling preserve the history around him that he saw being ruined right before his eyes. As an international trader and traveler he knew first hand why the ancient remains were being destroyed, wether it be from poor construction and improper maintenance to people stealing the items. He had a passion for preserving ancient history few others shared, and he knew that if he didn't do something to preserve it, no one would. When Cyriacus “noticed” the “Arch of Trajan” in his hometown he began to wonder what possible secrets it could hold to the birth and history of his city, Ancona. The discovery of what kind of history his own town might have lead him on a life-long journey to learn the history of other cities and the stories they are able to tell.
In 1992, an amendment was made to the Clean Air Act in the US, aimed at reducing the
Trebonianus Gallus was born in Italy in 206 A.D. He became the 36th Emperor of the Roman Empire during the third century. He reigned jointly from 251 A.D. with Hostilianus, then later with Volusianus from A.D. 251 to 253. His reign was short and suffered from a series of disasters. Trebonianus Gallus was not a great leader and was eventually killed by his own soldiers.
Tapeta can be classified according to their location in vertebrates and mechanism in invertebrates. Choroidal tapeta are the most common and are classified as tapetum fibrosum and tapetum cellulosum. The simplest type is the tapetum fibrosum, which is found principally in mammals, including herbivores (elephants, horses and goats), cetaceans (whales and dolphins), certain marsupials (Tasmanian Devil), and a rodent (Cuniculus pacas). The tapetum fibrosum consists of extracellular collagen fibrils that are stacked orderly with the majority of the its fibers running horizontally. The number of layered fibrils varies between species and can be up to several hundred thick. The most studied tapetum fibrosum among mammals is found in the cow and is located posteriorly and dorsally. The thickness is variable, increasing its thickness posteriorly. In species with a choroidal tapetum, the retinal epithelium in the area is the tapetum in un-pigmented, it allowing the light to pass subsequently reflected by the tapetum. This contrasts with the pigmented retinal epithelium
As aging is becoming a worldwide phenomenon, polyphenols have gained interest as potentially modifiable protective factors against neural diseases, such as dementia. The risk factors of cognitive function decline are not comprehensive, while the mechanisms may involve oxidative stress and inflammation. Epidemiological evidence shows that food contained flavonoid, which antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, is associated with a lower risk of neurodegenerative disorders and better cognitive evolution of the performance in the elderly(60). Although animal models are more properly used to investigate cellular and molecular mechanisms of the neuroprotective effects of Vaccinium berries, there

Acroptilon repens (Russian Knapweed) is a noxious weed in quite a few states, including Utah and Idaho. This weed causes many different problems for farmers and ranchers because it is a pasture/range weed. There have been studies done to find the best sources of control. Many of these studies have spanned for a long time. Management practices vary by region and there is a lot of discussion about which management practice is the best for this fast spreading weed. Because there have been many research projects about this particular weed they have been able to successfully come up with multiple chemical treatments that work to control it. There are still other control methods that should be considered because of the fact that chemicals are not always the best option for everyone. This paper will look into Russian Knapweed, its characteristics, and the different methods of control that have been tried in past years.
The Canada Red Chokecherry, also known as the Prunus virginiana, is a small, fruit-bearing tree with an impressive bouquet of foliage. Its impressive crown of leaves can
Helenium autumnale or the Sneezeweed is native to Kansas, but can be found in most of the united states. Height of the plant can reach anywhere from three to five feet and spreading two to three feet. The Sneezeweed is a flowering perennial that has one to two inch yellow flowers with ray like petals. The plant blooms late in summer and into fall. Growing conditions for the Sneezeweed are in rich, wet soils and they cannot tollerate dry soils. The Sneezeweed also needs to be grown in full sun.
