hour and a half south to Vladivostok to find a boat. We were homeless, broke, didn’t speak the language, and looked like natives. There was practically no way we were getting out of this town without causing a brouhaha. Then out of nowhere I hear the bark of Robert. I hadn’t seen him since I left with

made by the bark of a Mulberry tree. Today women with noble birth in the Kautaha tribe produce the barkcloth. The men plant the Mulberry tree and it takes 2-3 years for the tree to be ready to be cut down and used to make barkcloth. After the tree has been cut, the women then strip off the outer bark and soak the inner bark in water in order to prepare the bark for further processing. The women then place the soaked inner bark strops over a wooden anvil and repeatedly strike the bark with a wooden

Rome is a town which boosts of story buildings. The streets are narrow and do not accommodate large cars. That’s the way mike the Sherriff of Rome likes it. He was hired after his rehabilitation after being injured in a war. He has a cozy and lovely house in Rome. As the town’s Sherriff his main duty is to look out for the troublemakers and make sure they are punished according to the law of the city. There is a myth associated with this city about an old lady by the name Aurora, she is believed

therefore cannot survive in polluted areas such as the city because of automobile traffic such as cars, and industrial activity. Lichen can be found growing within soil, on the surface layer of rocks, and most commonly, they are found growing on the bark of trees (Raven et al. 2010, p. 626-627). The graph above shows that the south aspect of most of the trees in Campbelltown Campus had the greatest surface area of lichen coverage on the tree trunk, compared to the other aspects (east, north and west)

additional 6-feet of growth yearly and reaches a mature height and width of 100-feet. Due to this habit of quick growth, the wood is soft and brittle, breaking easily in windy conditions. Bark, Stems and Foliage The bark and trunk on a mature cottonwood tree is deeply furrowed, thick and gray and with younger trees, the bark is a greenish-gray. Young stems and branches are a yellowish-green in color, changing to a grayish color as they age. Mature trees develop an open and irregular-shaped crown. Foliage

The Sighing Trees The second of two back doors is white with black accents and a big window in the top half. As you push the door open you hear an array of screeches and clicks. “Don’t let the dog out!” Mother shouts before you walk out the door. Closing itself when you let go of it, the door shuts with a slam. You gently set your foot down onto the step of the small, cement, back porch and your rainboot makes a “thwip” sound. Stepping off of the cement onto decorative stones, triangular and jagged

from the trunk of the tree. Mulch shall not touch the stems of plants. A small circle shall be cleared (diameter of 50mm minimum) around the stem to avoid stem rot. Topsoil shall not be mixed into the mulch during placement, planting or weeding. Bark mulch shall not be placed below the annual flood level within the channel or within regularly inundated tidal margins.

Discussion: The overall variation of the mean moisture content of tree bark, and the mean distribution of the Lichen population in relation to the increasing height of the tree from the ground level is shown in Figure 1. It was observed that there is a remarkable reduction in the mean moisture content of the bark as the height of the tree increased. Hence there is a strong relationship between the mean moisture content and the tree height as supported by the high coefficient of determination value

If I turn my head to the left, I can look out and see Mt Baker through the masts of the sailboats here in the Marina. The view changes daily depending on the weather. Right now the peaks on Mt Baker are cold and sharp, covered in snow. I can gauge the wind just by looking at the flagpoles and the compass I placed on my desk letting me know which way is up. I am constantly confused as to which direction I am facing, confusion which increases with my age. I always took pride in my memory, being able
