![]() It’s like sweat dripping off your nose on a hot and humid day. That’s because plants that are native to areas of high humidity have leaves with pointed ends we like to call ‘drip tips’. I have always noticed many tropical plants (which we refer to here in the north as “houseplants”) have pointed leaves or heart shaped leaves. Water pressure helps them stand up to the heat and not wilt. Transpiration of water through the leaves cools a plant and the vacuum created as vapor escapes pulls water up through the plant tissues, distributing nutrients. Make sure there is enough water in the soil to run a plant’s “air conditioning” system. As the temperature rises, water evaporates faster requiring more water to quench their thirst. They cool themselves by allowing water to evaporate from their leaves. You of course can help because the main defense plants have against high temperatures is water. Generally these plants like succulents have thick waxy leaves and other adaptations for water retention, not the paper thin leaves of a fern. Some plants are acclimated to dry arid air with little humidity. They let you know when they’re not happy. Ficus, Palms, Anthurium or Philodendron to name a few are tropical region plants that benefit from high humidity because it reduces transpiration or water loss, browning of the edges of foliage and can discourage spider mites who love it dry. Indoors with our houseplants summer air conditioning and winter heating is not conducive to a humid environment. They like hanging out on the front porch but are generally not used in interior landscaping for that reason. The ferns are notorious for wanting high levels of humidity and if they don’t get it they have a bad hair day excessively dropping leaves and making a mess. ![]() Plants with thicker, waxier leaves are better able to withstand dry air! The sword fern Nephrolepis exaltata are known as “Boston” because a pioneering Florida nurseryman years ago shared them with a friend in Cambridge Massachusetts where they were propagated by a local distributor. With plants the thinner the leaves are, the greater the likelihood of it needing higher humidity. So weather talk is ubiquitous because, well, weather affects everyone, your mood, your comfort level and even your conversations because it’s a neutral topic. Measured on a scale of relative humidity, it ranges from 0% which is dry, to 100% that is completely saturated. As temperature rises the capacity of the air to hold water vapor increases. Humidity is the relative amount of water vapor contained in the air. This is especially true when it gets hot and humid. People talk about weather because it’s safe if you need filler for a lagging conversation. ![]() Keyboard Maestro III: Situational Triggers.Keyboard Maestro II: Launching Apps Intelligently. ![]() Īlthough you will be able to follow along without doing so, it will also help your understanding if you’ve checked out my previous series on Keyboard Maestro: Working With Text in Keyboard Maestro: Part 1.Using Palettes to Improve Keyboard Shortcuts in Keyboard Maestro.Using Keyboard Maestro to Create Custom Keyboard Shortcuts.You’ll also need to have read the three previous tutorials in this series: It costs $36 for a license and there’s a 30-day free trial.

She also created the store’s iconic American Beauty rose logo. Shaver coined the phrase “the American look.” She placed American designers side-by-side with French designers and championed the store’s annual American Design Award program. There was a time when Lord & Taylor’s image was never questioned, largely due to the past efforts of former store president Dorothy Shaver. (Photo by Eric SCHWAB / AFP) (Photo by ERIC SCHWAB/AFP via Getty Images) AFP via Getty Images In 1945, Dorothy Shaver became the first woman to head a major retail establishment and a multimillion-dollar firm in the United States as president of Lord & Taylor. Head of Lord and Taylor department store Dorothy Shaver phones at her desk, in April 1946 in New. ![]() Profits increased for several years but its reputation as a high fashion retailer diminished. It also brought in some merchandise that was less exclusive and slightly lower in price points. May put Lord & Taylor on a path to profitability that included major expansions and increased promotions. When May Department Stores Company acquired the business back in 1986, May officials found an iconic brand that was hampered by severely antiquated technological systems. Lord & Taylor’s image and definition has been blurred for several decades. The move may have saved funds but it made the retailer’s competitive longterm future precarious, if not impossible. By the end of March, Le Tote unceremoniously eliminated its buying and administrative staff in order to save funds. Le Tote’s inability to remotely weather COVID-19’s impact may have proved the skeptics right. Its exterior windows are covered in plywood as a protection to any possible demonstrations. The Washington-Chevy Chase Lord & Taylor's grounds are no longer meticulously landscaped as it holds. Le Tote operated Lord & Taylor for only a few months until COVID-19 hit. After it secured a purchase agreement with Lord & Taylor’s owner, the powerful Canadian firm, Hudson’s Bay Company, it scrambled to pay the $77 million bill. Last fall’s purchase of Lord & Taylor by Le Tote was met with skepticism. It’s almost an omen of what the building might become should it remain unoccupied for a period of time. ![]() Like many of its nearby retailers, its windows are currently covered with plywood. Its covered parking lot is tagged with graffiti. Located within one of Washington’s more upscale retail districts, the store’s once-meticulously manicured grounds are now unkempt and overgrown.

It’s heart-racing stuff, and quite unlike anything a Mario game has done before. It’s all you can do but to survive the onslaught until Bowser wears himself out and goes back into hiding. Every ten or so minutes (and increasing in frequency and destructiveness as the game progresses) Mario’s age-old nemesis Bowser will emerge from his gloopy slumber and rain down hellfire on the entire open-world setting. You’re tasked by cutie-at-heart Bowser Jr to help save his pops, who has become consumed by an oily goo that turns him into a fire-breathing tyrant of Godzilla-like proportions. It’s not the only thing that Bowser’s Fury pilfers from Zelda either – just as Breath of the Wild had its ‘Blood Moon’, temporarily enhancing enemy strength, and Majora’s Mask a day-and-night cycle that would affect progression, so too does Bowser’s Fury have a similar central conceit. In many ways, it’s a lot like what Nintendo did with The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask back on the Nintendo 64, which used assets from the previous game in the series, Ocarina of Time, to build a whole new adventure. Taking the speedy wall-climbing catsuit, floaty Tanooki suit and a few others from 3D World, it shifts the camera predominately behind Mario (a’la Odyssey), and opts for a mini open-world setting spread across a number of small islands, each with its own challenges and secrets to uncover, rather than the level-based rush of 3D World. 3D World, reconfigured to make an all-new game. Bowser’s Fury is made up of refreshed, revised and re-used assets and mechanics from Super Mario Bros. ![]() But her dance past continued to play a role: “My dance career has taught me important life lessons and life skills, like the importance of working as a group and being professional, and being able to take criticism,” Hytes says. So, after four seasons, she left the company to focus full-time on drag. But having to be slapstick funny-a hallmark of the company-wasn’t exactly her “thing.” And at that point in her career, her passion for dance was withering. Hytes moved to New York City to dance with Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, the all-male-presenting ballet troupe that performs on pointe, and in drag. “I just had no interest in doing a double cabriolet or all the male stuff,” she says. ![]() But after two years with the company, Hytes found the job wasn’t fulfilling. He was looking to see if she’d play a lead role in a ballet he was mounting in South Africa, and, later, Dantzig helped Hytes secure a full-time contract with C ape Town City Ballet. Just two weeks in, Hytes got a call from dance pioneer Rudi van Dantzig, who’d taken notice of her while teaching at Canada’s National Ballet School. She trained at the school from grades 10 through 12, and an additional two years after that, before moving to Germany to study at the School of the Hamburg Ballet. “She didn’t even show up to audition,” Hytes remembers. “I noticed very quickly that I had a good facility for it.” A year later, while attending a high school arts program, a friend asked Hytes to audition with her for a summer session at Canada’s National Ballet School. “I found dance a little bit later in life,” Hytes says, who took her first dance class in the eighth grade. A post shared by Brooke Lynn Hytes might know drag artist Brooke Lynn Hytes from watching her compete-and dance on pointe-on season 11 of “RPDR.” Or perhaps you know her as the main judge on the spinoff series, “Canada’s Drag Race.” But did you know Hytes had a full-fledged dance performance career before entering the world of drag? ![]() ![]() Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 95 thereof, THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, On classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures, amending and repealing Directives 67/548/EEC and 1999/45/EC, and amending Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 REGULATION (EC) No 1272/2008 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL ![]() (BG, ES, CS, DA, DE, ET, EL, EN, FR, GA, IT, LV, LT, HU, MT, NL, PL, PT, RO, SK, SL, FI, SV) Special edition in Croatian: Chapter 13 Volume 020 P.

SmartWall is a storage and workstation system for underutilized or empty walls. In the breeding season, these birds are very territorial and will defend the nest against any predators or competitors. Shoebill storks are solitary breeders and have territories measuring approximately 3 square kilometers. Shoebill storks form monogamous pairs for breeding. The toes are extremely long and completely divided with no webbing between them. The eyes are large and yellowish or grayish-white in color. The mandibles have sharp edges that aid in capturing and eating prey. The color of the bill is yellowish with blotchy dark spots. It is an enormous structure ending in a sharp, curved hook. The bill is the most prominent feature of shoebill storks and resembles a wooden shoe. ![]() A newly hatched shoebill stork is covered in silvery-grey silky down and juveniles are a slightly darker shade of grey than adults. On the back of the head is a small tuft of feathers that can erect in a crest. Adult breeding plumage does not differ from non-breeding plumage. The underparts are a lighter shade of grey. The primaries are black-tipped and secondaries have a greenish tint. The plumage is slaty blue-grey overall with a darker grey head. Males are larger than females and have longer bills. Large, somewhat frightful looking birds, shoebill storks stand 110 to 140 cm tall. This causes the fish living in the water to surface for air more often, increasing the likelihood a shoebill stork will successfully capture it. ![]() ![]() They are also found where there is poorly oxygenated water. When shoebill storks are in an area with deep water, a bed of floating vegetation is a requirement. They are often found in areas of flood plain interspersed with undisturbed papyrus and reedbeds. Shoebill storks inhabit freshwater swamps and extensive, dense marshes. This bird's range usually coincides with that of papyrus and lungfish. Smaller populations occupy eastern Zaire and Rwanda. The main populations are found in southern Sudan (mainly in the White Nile Sudd), the wetlands of northern Uganda and western Tanzania and the Bangweulu swamp of northeastern Zambia. Shoebill or whale-headed storks are endemic to Africa and inhabit the east-central part of the continent. |
