Fantasy Autumn Cattails wallpaper
Cattails are also called as corndog plants. They belong to the family Typhaceae which consists of about eleven species. They exclusively marsh/wetland plants that grown up to seven meters tall. The flower heads are somewhat spongy and eventually become a dry and downy material – the mature seeds that are easily dispersed by the wind.
I saw this very long article and thought aha, mystery solved Colonies in collapse: What’s causing massive honeybee die-offs? It does say that the varroa mite that made its way to North America in 1987 hasn’t helped, but is unlikely to be THE answer. Scientists dissected bees and they showed the bees suffered from just about every bee disease known to science – thus dubbed bee AIDS. They found Israeli acute paralysis disease (IAPV) which came from bees we imported from Australia, but IAPV was, alone not proving to be fatal to Australian bees in Australia. It may still prove to be a contributing factor out of several that is leading to Colony Collapse Disorder. Then researchers thought a class of insecticides called neonicotinoids, which have been banned in France and Germany, but not here might be the major culprit. Once again, maybe part of many problems and diseases, parasites forming a “perfect storm” of factors, but neonicotinoids alone are probably not entirely to blame. Farmers and homeowners are also using pesticides like fluvalinate and coumaphos — a combination of all three hitting bee colonies probably isn’t a good thing. Scientists tend to think that some bees will survive until the mystery is unraveled, but in the mean time the continuance of colony collapses may kill off the bee keeper profession – they compare it to a rancher that keeps losing most their herd and have to keep replacing them; after a while that just isn’t economically viable.
Korea Pioneers Longer-Lasting Lithium Batteries
Prof. Cho said the eight-fold increase in storage capacity was achieved by using silicon instead of graphite.
An eight fold increase in battery life would certainly have our land-fills a lot of thrown away batteries per year.
Owl eyes - a some what odd size that I could only play with up to a point because of distortion and hot pixels, but could probably be used as a wallpaper on small to medium sized monitors, especially notebooks.
