Buckinghamia celsissima

Buckinghamia celsissima , commonly known as the ivory curl , is a species of trees , constituting part of the plant family Proteaceae .

They grow naturally only ( endemic ) in the wet tropics rainforests areas of north eastern Queensland , Australia .

The species was described in 1868 by Ferdinand von Mueller in honour of Richard Grenville , 3rd Duke of Buckingham , from a collection of material made by John Dallachy near Rockingham Bay on 11 January 1865 .

Its specific epithet is Latin for " very tall " .

Common names include ivory curl flower and spotted silky oak .

Buckinghamia celsissima reaches tall in its natural rainforest habitat , but is much smaller , reaching tall , in Australian east coast gardens .

Glossy dark green above and whitish below , the leaves are quite variable .

Juvenile leaves have one or more lobes while adult leaves are simple and entire , measuring long by wide .

The white flower spikes appear over summer and autumn .

Terminal and showy , these are drooping racemes up to in length .

Flowers are followed by the development of woody follicles , long .

In the wild they are found more frequently in drier rainforest from altitudes of above sea level .

They often grow with kauri pine ( Agathis robusta ) .

The species is grown widely in Brisbane and thrives in Sydney and Melbourne , yet is shy to flower in Cairns .

Frosts render it difficult to grow in Canberra .

It can be propagated from seeds or cuttings of hardened new growth .

Its flowerheads attract birds and insects .


Geology of Zimbabwe

The geology of Zimbabwe in southern Africa is centred on the Zimbabwe Craton , a core of Archean basement composed in the main of granitoids , schist and gneisses .

It also incorporates greenstone belts comprising mafic , ultramafic and felsic volcanics which are associated with epiclastic sediments and iron formations .

The craton is overlain in the north , northwest and east by Proterozoic and Phanerozoic sedimentary basins whilst to the northwest are the rocks of the Magondi Supergroup .

Northwards is the Zambezi Belt and to the east the Mozambique Belt .

South of the Zimbabwe Craton is the Kaapval Craton separated from it by the Limpopo Mobile Belt , a zone of deformation and metamorphism reflecting geological events from Archean to Mesoproterozoic times .

The Zimbabwe Craton is intruded by an elongate ultramafic / mafic igneous complex known as the Great Dyke which runs for more than 500 km along a SSW / NNE oriented graben .

It consists of peridotites , pyroxenites , norites and bands of chromitite .


Close Combat: First to Fight

Close Combat : First to Fight is a squad - based military first - person shooter video game created by Destineer Studios for Microsoft Windows , Macintosh and Xbox .

Return of Saturn

Return of Saturn is the fourth studio album by American rock band No Doubt , released on April 11 , 2000 by Trauma Records and Interscope Records .

It marked the band 's first album as a quartet , following the departure of original keyboardist Eric Stefani in 1994 .

After touring for two and a half years to promote their breakthrough third studio album , Tragic Kingdom , No Doubt wrote several dozen songs for its follow - up and eventually settled on working with producer Glen Ballard .

Creating the album became a tumultuous process lasting two years , during which there was dissension among band members and between the band and its label .

The album was completed after the band returned to the studio and recorded what became two of the album 's singles .

The album maintains the ska punk and reggae influences of the band 's previous work , but with slower , more ballad - like songs .

The lyrics to many of the songs describe singer Gwen Stefani 's pining for a more domestic life , contrasting that with her commitment to a music career .

Upon release , Return of Saturn received favorable reviews from music critics , although several of them were divided over its different sound to its predecessor .

It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 but was unable to measure up to the sales of Tragic Kingdom .

The album spawned four singles , only one of which charted on the Billboard Hot 100 .

At the 43rd Grammy Awards , Return of Saturn was nominated for Best Rock Album .


List of Mongol and Tatar attacks in Europe

The Mongol invasion of Europe from the east took place over the course of three centuries , from the Middle Ages to the early modern period .

The terms Tatars or Tartars are applied to nomadic Mongolic peoples who , themselves , were conquered by Mongols and incorporated into their horde .

They were mainly composed of Kipchaks - Cuman people .

Mongol - Tatar Golden Horde forces led by Batu Khan , ( a grandson of Genghis Khan ) , began attacking Europe in 1223 , starting with Cumans , Volga Bulgaria and Kievan Rus .

They destroyed many Rus cities including Kiev , Vladimir and Moscow in the process , sparing Novgorod and Pskov however .

They originally planned to continue all the way to the shores of the " Great Sea " ( Atlantic Ocean ) .

However , upon learning of the death of Ögedei Khan ( third son of Genghis Khan , uncle of Batu Khan ) in 1241 they returned eastwards to their steppe homelands .

This , it could be argued , saved the rest of Europe from suffering the catastrophes that befell the armies and towns of Poland and Hungary , although over - stretched lines of communication and the lack of vast open tracts of pasture land might well have proved the undoing of such a venture .

River Out of Eden

River Out of Eden : A Darwinian View of Life is a 1995 popular science book by Richard Dawkins .

The book is about Darwinian evolution and summarizes the topics covered in his earlier books , The Selfish Gene , The Extended Phenotype and The Blind Watchmaker .

It is part of the Science Masters series and is Dawkins 's shortest book .

It is illustrated by Lalla Ward , Dawkins 's wife .

The book 's name is derived from Genesis 2:10 relating to the Garden of Eden .

The King James Version reads " And a river went out of Eden to water the garden ; and from thence it was parted , and became into four heads . "

The first chapter lays down the framework on which the rest of the book is built , that life is like a river of genes flowing through geological time where organisms are mere temporary bodies .

The second chapter shows how human ancestry can be traced via many gene pathways to different most recent common ancestors , with special emphasis on the African Eve .

The third chapter describes how gradual enhancement via natural selection is the only mechanism which can create the observed complexity of nature .

The fourth chapter describes the indifference of genes towards organisms they build and discard , as they maximise their own utility functions .

The last chapter summarises milestones during the evolution of life on Earth and speculates on how similar processes may work in alien planetary systems .

Order of Karađorđe's Star

The Order of Karađorđe 's Star ( ) is Serbia 's highest civilian and military decoration .

It originated in the Kingdom of Serbia , and was initially awarded exclusively to Serbian citizens in return for services rendered to the Serbian monarchy , the Serb people and the Serbian state , though it is now bestowed upon Serbs and non - Serbs alike .

During the Balkan Wars and World War I , the Order was mostly awarded for acts of bravery on the battlefield .

The post - war Kingdom of Yugoslavia retained the Order , and it was awarded by the Yugoslav government - in - exile until the end of World War II , in some cases to individuals who collaborated with the Axis powers .

Following the war , the monarchy was outlawed and a communist government came to power .

Along with other monarchist symbols , the Order was suppressed during the administration of Josip Broz Tito , and replaced with communist decorations such as the Order of the People 's Hero .

Following the breakup of Yugoslavia , Serbia ceased using many of the awards and decorations established during the communist period , though it was not until 2010 that the Serbian Government officially reinstated the Order of Karađorđe 's Star as Serbia 's highest decoration .

During the Cold War , it had been awarded by the Karađorđević family in exile .

The first person to receive it following its reinstatement as a state order was the tennis player Novak Djokovic , in February 2012 .

Domitian

Domitian (; ; 24 October 51 – 18 September 96 AD ) was Roman emperor from 81 to 96 .

He was the younger brother of Titus and the son of Vespasian , his two predecessors on the throne , and the last member of the Flavian dynasty .

During his reign , the authoritarian nature of his rule put him at sharp odds with the senate , whose powers he drastically curtailed .

Domitian had a minor and largely ceremonial role during the reigns of his father and brother .

After the death of his brother , Domitian was declared emperor by the Praetorian Guard .

His 15-year reign was the longest since that of Tiberius .

As emperor , Domitian strengthened the economy by revaluing the Roman coinage , expanded the border defenses of the empire , and initiated a massive building program to restore the damaged city of Rome .

Significant wars were fought in Britain , where his general Agricola attempted to conquer Caledonia ( Scotland ) , and in Dacia , where Domitian was unable to procure a decisive victory against king Decebalus .

Domitian 's government exhibited strong authoritarian characteristics ; he saw himself as the new Augustus , an enlightened despot destined to guide the Roman Empire into a new era of brilliance .

Religious , military , and cultural propaganda fostered a cult of personality , and by nominating himself perpetual censor , he sought to control public and private morals .

As a consequence , Domitian was popular with the people and army , but considered a tyrant by members of the Roman Senate .

Domitian 's reign came to an end in 96 when he was assassinated by court officials .

He was succeeded the same day by his advisor Nerva .

After his death , Domitian 's memory was condemned to oblivion by the Roman Senate , while senatorial authors such as Tacitus , Pliny the Younger , and Suetonius propagated the view of Domitian as a cruel and paranoid tyrant .

Modern revisionists instead have characterized Domitian as a ruthless but efficient autocrat whose cultural , economic , and political programs provided the foundation of the peaceful second century .

Born in Stockholm to Fredrik Laurentz Ekman , himself an oceanographer , he became committed to oceanography while studying physics at the University of Uppsala and , in particular , on hearing Vilhelm Bjerknes lecture on fluid dynamics .

During the expedition of the Fram , Fridtjof Nansen had observed that icebergs tend to drift not in the direction of the prevailing wind but at an angle of 20 ° -40 ° to the right .

Bjerknes invited Ekman , still a student , to investigate the problem and , in 1905 , Ekman published his theory of the Ekman spiral which explains the phenomenon in terms of the balance between frictional effects in the ocean and the Coriolis force , which arises from moving objects in a rotating environment , like planetary rotation .

On completing his doctorate in Uppsala in 1902 , Ekman joined the International Laboratory for Oceanographic Research , Oslo where he worked for seven years , not only extending his theoretical work but also developing experimental techniques and instruments such as the Ekman current meter and Ekman water bottle .

Valeri Danilov

Valeri Danilov ( also spelled : Valeriy ; Russian:Валерий Дмитриевич Данилов ) is a Russian military historian and a retired officer ( Colonel ) .

Danilov has Candidate of History Sciences degree ( кандидат исторических наук ) and is a professor at the Academy of Military Science .

In 1993 , Yuri Gorkov and Valeri Danilov published a previously classified document , called Considerations to the plan of the strategic development of the armed forces of the Soviet Union , ( dating back to May 15 , 1941 ) which proposed a strike on Germany .

Allegedly , it was composed by Georgy Zhukov and Semyon Timoshenko and presented to Joseph Stalin .

The publishing of this plan initiated a longer discussion among the Russian historian over Stalin 's actual strategy in 1941 .

Contrary to many historians both within Russia and the West ( David Glantz ) , Valeri Danilov has argued that - taking into account the concentration of power to Stalin 's hand - it is highly implausible , that the Soviet defense commissar and the chief of staff could have prepared such a document without Stalin 's authorization .

Considering the 1937 purges of the higher officers , it is hardly possible that staff officers would have risked antagonised official Soviet policy .

Danilov suggests - and he is supported by Mikhail Meltyukhov , Vladimir Nevezhin and others - that this draft by Zhukov was actually basis for Soviet military planning in 1941 .

The Responsibility of Intellectuals

" The Responsibility of Intellectuals " is an essay by the American academic Noam Chomsky which was published as a special supplement by The New York Review of Books on the 23 February 1967 .

The article was written during the then - ongoing Vietnam War , as news of human rights abuses started to return to the United States , and as the war had increasingly become seen as a quagmire .

An attack on the intellectual culture in the U.S. , Chomsky argues that it is largely subservient to power .

He is particularly critical of social scientists and technocrats , who he believed were providing a pseudo - scientific justification for the crimes of the state in regard to the Vietnam War .

He notes that those who opposed the war on moral rather than technical grounds are " often psychologists , mathematicians , chemists , or philosophers , ... rather than people with Washington contacts , who , of course , realize that ' had they a new , good idea about Vietnam , they would get a prompt and respectful hearing ' in Washington . "

The topic was inspired by articles of Dwight Macdonald published after the Second World War who " asks the question : To what extent were the German or Japanese people responsible for the atrocities committed by their governments ?

And , quite properly , ... turns the question back to us : To what extent are the British or American people responsible for the vicious terror bombings of civilians , perfected as a technique of warfare by the Western democracies and reaching their culmination in Hiroshima and Nagasaki , surely among the most unspeakable crimes in history . "

The article brought Chomsky to public attention as one of the leading American intellectuals in the movement against the Vietnam war .
