Many acorn predators eat unripe acorns on the tree or ripe acorns from the ground, with no reproductive benefit to the oak. However, some acorn predators also serve as seed dispersal agents. Jays and squirrels that scatter-hoard acorns in caches for future use, effectively plant acorns in a variety of locations in which it is possible for them to germinate and thrive. Although jays and squirrels retain remarkably large mental maps of cache locations and return to consume them, the odd acorn may be lost, or a jay or squirrel may die before consuming all of its stores. A small number of acorns manage to germinate and survive, producing the next generation of oaks.

that during the War of the Spanish Succession, 10,000 French soldiers attempted to take Schloss Hellenstein (pictured), a castle near Heidenheim in the Swabian Alb, but retreated without firing a shot because it was deemed too costly to attack?
...that a legend says that when Philip de Braose irreverently spent the night in a church dedicated to Saint Afan, he was struck blind the next morning and his hunting dogs went mad?
...that in attempting to stop U-30 from sinking the SS Fanad Head, two Blackburn Skuas managed to cripple themselves with their own bombs, causing them to crash?
...that while neighboring Bordeaux estates were still looking for a cure to heal their infected grapevines, Château Pavie-Macquin was one of the first to begin grafting phylloxera resistant American rootstock on their vines?

Fuel – is any kind of substance which can be used to power vehicles, generators and, sometimes, missiles. Fuel is needed to move some of the forces available to a player. Without fuel, tanks will not move, planes will not fly, and factories will not run. This is the rarest resource, more valuable to the denizens of the waste than their own lifeblood (or preferably another’s).

A. ocellatus have been reported to grow to a length of 45 cm
Just 10 days ago, after months of debate and deadlock, the bipartisan Commission on Social Security accomplished the seemingly impossible. Social security, as some of us had warned for so long, faced disaster. I, myself, have been talking about this problem for almost 30 years. As 1983 began, the system stood on the brink of bankruptcy, a double victim of our economic ills. First, a decade of rampant inflation drained its reserves as we tried to protect beneficiaries from the spiraling cost of living. Then the recession and the sudden end of inflation withered the expanding wage base and increasing revenues the system needs to support the 36 million Americans who depend on it.

Immortal jellyfish
Turritopsis nutricula
ORDER
Filifera
FAMILY
Clavidae
TAXONOMY
Turritopsis nutricula McCrady, 1859, South Carolina, United States.
OTHER COMMON NAMES
None known.
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Hydroid: small colonies stolonal, monosiphonic (simple stem), larger ones erect, irregularly branched and increasing in diameter from base to apex, polysiphonic (compound stem); branches basally adnate to hydrocaulus or other branches, then curving away at an acute angle and becoming free; hydrocaulus and hydrocladia covered by a firm bi-layered perisarc, mostly encrusted with detritus and algae, terminating below hydranth base; hydranths terminal, naked, elongated, fusiform, with 12–38 filiform tentacles scattered over distal three quarters of column, proximal ones shorter than distal; hypostome elongated conical; medusa buds arising mostly one by one from short pedicels below hydranths, pear shaped, enclosed in perisarc.
Medusa: umbrella 0.15–0.43 in (4–11 mm) high, bell shaped to piriform, higher than wide, mesoglea thicker at apex; manubrium large, cross-shaped in transverse section, red; four radial canals passing through the four compact vacuolated endodermal masses situated above digestive part of manubrium; four-lipped mouth with a continuous row of sessile cnidocyst clusters along margin; 80–120 closely spaced marginal tentacles; gonads interradial, mature females often with developing embryos and planulae; with adaxial ocelli.
DISTRIBUTION
Atlantic, Indo-Pacific, and the Mediterranean. (Specific distribution map not available.)
HABITAT
The hydroids live in shallow, highly oxygenated water, often under overhangs. The medusae are members of the coastal plankton.
BEHAVIOR
Nothing is known.
FEEDING ECOLOGY AND DIET
In the laboratory, both hydroid and medusae can survive with a diet of Artemia nauplii; the diet in the wild is unknown.
REPRODUCTIVE BIOLOGY
Medusae are produced by the hydroid in summer months and can survive in the laboratory for one month. A peculiarity of this species is the possibility of ontogeny reversal under laboratory conditions: the medusae, in fact, can rearrange their tissues and go back to the polyp stage if subjected to sub-lethal stress and also at the end of their lifespan, after spawning. For this reason, this medusa has been called "the immortal jellyfish" by the media.
CONSERVATION STATUS
Not listed by the IUCN.
SIGNIFICANCE TO HUMANS
The possibility for this species to perform ontogeny reversal in the laboratory offers a unique opportunity to study the genetic control of aging and the mechanisms of rejuvenation.

Law enforcement team breaks into home, takes boy to hospital
NEW CASTLE — A tactical law enforcement team broke into Tom Shiflett’s home to take his 11-year-old son to the hospital for court-ordered medical treatment for a minor head injury.
Garfield County’s All Hazards Response Team raided the home in the Apple Tree Mobile Home Park south of New Castle Friday night, a day after Jon Shiflett fell after grabbing the handle of a moving car.
“Inappropriate is not nearly strong enough a word. It was gross irresponsibility and stupidity,” said Ross Talbott, owner of Apple Tree Mobile Home Park, who rents to the Shifletts and witnessed the raid. “Is this Russia? I don’t know what we’re coming to when they think your kid needs medical help and they send a SWAT team.”
In the end, the injury wasn’t as severe as caseworkers from the Garfield County Department of Social Services thought when they went before a judge for a search warrant and order for medical treatment.
The doctor recommended fluids, Tylenol and ice to treat the bruises, according to a copy of Jon’s patient after-care instructions. The child was returned to the family at about 2:30 a.m. Saturday, hours after the raid.

Surrealism est un mouvement culturel qui a commencé dans l'early-1920s, et est meilleur connu pour les dessin-modèles et les écritures visuels des membres de groupe. Les travaux comportent l'effet de surprise, juxtapositions inattendues et non le sequitur, toutefois beaucoup d'artistes et auteurs surréalistes considèrent leur travail comme une expression du mouvement philosophique en premier lieu avec les travaux étant un objet façonné, et le Breton d'André du Chef étaient explicites dans son affirmation que Surrealism était surtout un mouvement révolutionnaire. Des activités de Dada de la Première Guerre Mondiale Surrealism a été formé avec le centre le plus important du mouvement à Paris et des années 20 écartant autour du globe, par la suite affectant des films tels que l'oeuf de l'ange et le EL Topo, entre autres.

I made a paper aeroplane,
It really was the best.
I took my time to make it right,
To that I can attest!
I'd planned it all so thoroughly,
I'd sketched from either side.
I knew that all would be amazed,
To see it swoop and dive.
But its first flight was not to plan,
Though it soared up high.
The teacher turned, it crashed and burned,
And hit her in the eye!
My plane, screwed up, went in the bin,
All agreed it was a shame.
But my teacher's got a big black eye,
And I'm the one to blame!

A ball is a round object with various uses. It is usually spherical but can be ovoid. It is used in ball games, where the play of the game follows the state of the ball as it is hit, kicked or thrown by players. Balls can also be used for simpler activities, such as catch, marbles and juggling. Balls made from hard-wearing metal are used in engineering applications to provide very low friction bearings, known as ball bearings.
Although many types of balls are today made from rubber, this form was unknown outside the Americas until after the voyages of Columbus. The Spanish were the first Europeans HELP ME I AM TRAPPED IN THIS PARAGRAH to see bouncing rubber balls (albeit solid and not inflated) which were employed most notably in the Mesoamerican ballgame. Balls used in various sports in other parts of the world prior to Columbus were made from other materials such as animal bladders or skins, stuffed with various materials.
