Brown pelicans, found on the western coast of the U.S., are the smallest type of pelican; the Peruvian pelican is often considered a subgroup of the brown pelican. Brown pelicans flock together to hunt and have a remarkable ability to spot fish from as high as 60 feet in the air. Females generally lay three eggs, but both adults share in the incubation responsibilities. The brown pelican's beak can hold up to two gallons of water, and this species can live for up to 40 years.

February 23 — March 31, 2019
On the U.S. Bank Main Stage
Previews Feb. 23–28 | Opening night Mar. 1
A celebration of the simple beauty of being human, this funny and deeply touching exploration of resilience is based on Cheryl Strayed’s (Wild) journey as the beloved anonymous advice columnist for “Dear Sugar.” Over the years, thousands of people turned to Sugar for words of wisdom, compassion and hope. At first unsure of herself, Sugar found a way to weave her own life experiences together with the deep yearning and heartrending questions from her readers. Brilliantly adapted for the stage by Nia Vardalos, the Academy Award-nominated writer of My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

City of Rocks State Park
Grant County, New Mexico
The bedrock forming City of Rocks was created 34.9 million years ago by a volcanic eruption. Then over millions of years, erosion sculpted the rock formations seen today.
The eruption was from the Emory Caldera, centered near Hillsboro Peak at the southern end of the Black Range. The eruption was estimated to be a VEI 8 eruption, and it emplaced the Kneeling Nun Tuff, a tuff bed covering an area of 314-square-mile (810 km2), which makes up the bedrock of the park.
The rocks formed were shaped by the weathering of ash-flow tuff, through a combination of freeze-thaw cycles and plant growth. Water enters the crevices, expands when freezing, which widens the cracks. Plant growth in the cracks also contribute to the expansion of the cracks.
Much of Salford's Sacred Trinity church dates from 1752, and this grand old building stands defiantly whilst modern city construction work seems to be happening all around.

Al Forum, il ritorno della storica band di "Like Clockwork".
I Queens of the Stone Age (o anche QOTSA) sono una band alternative metal statunitense, nata nel 1996 in seguito allo scioglimento dei Kyuss, band cardine e vero fulcro attorno a cui è nato e si è sviluppato il cosiddetto stoner rock.
I Queens of the Stone Age erano stati originariamente formati con il nome Gamma Ray dal chitarrista Josh Homme, assieme al batterista Alfredo Hernandez. Lo stesso Homme ha descritto lo stile della band come robot rock, nome che vuole dare l'idea della continua ripetizione di riff che lo caratterizzano.
Josh Homme - voce, chitarra, basso
Jon Theodore - batteria
Troy Van Leeuwen - chitarra, basso, cori
Michael Shuman - basso, cori, sintetizzatore
Dean Fertita - tastiere, cori

From the top: The 'Cap of Maintenance' in the little box looks like a Robin Hood Cap but is meant to be red velvet, fur (ermine) trimmed and denotes the status of the family (Earls - but Viscounts when this wing was built). The ostrich feathers stuck into it were awards as recognition of support for Royalty - hence the phrase 'putting a feather in your cap'. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cap_of_Maintenance
The helmet with bars over the visor again signifies the Earl's rank. It is poised, victorious above the 'defeated' helmet of its 'enemy'. The Three Lions of England are shown on the shield below. All the paraphenalia of war surrounds - banners, cannons, muskets, cannon balls, halberds, drums, armour and coiled fuses.
Below the plaque is the Molyneux family crest, the 'Cross Moline' - a cross with 'split ends' - possibly referring to a french windmill - from their Norman origins. Another more grisly theory is that it depicts a Caltrop en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caltrop. It is supported by two lions, standing on the family motto 'Vivere Sat Vincere' which can be translated as "To Conquer is to Live Enough".
Below (in another box) is a monogram of William Molyneux's initials with a little coronet above. This is showing a Viscount's coronet, distinguished by the number of little balls shown on the 'rays' of the coronet. More peacock feathers surround it and underneath is the date of this wing of Croxteth Hall - 1702.
Come to the hall and have a look for yourself!

Photo by Daniel Ibáñez-CNA-EWTN News.
Every seven or eight years, the bishops of each diocese in the United States travel to Rome to meet with the pope and the various offices of the Roman Curia to provide an account of the state of their dioceses. The ad limina visit for Bishop Walkowiak and other Region VI bishops of Michigan and Ohio is Dec. 9-13, 2019. These were the first ad limina visits for Pope Francis as well as Bishop Walkowiak’s first ad limina pilgrimage. The previous visit in 2012 was made by Bishop Walter Hurley, who also traveled to Rome in December.
Another essential part of the pilgrimage is the celebration of Masses at the Rome basilicas of St. Peter, St. Paul Outside the Walls, St. John Lateran and St. Mary Major.

The four-lighted windows on each side, are filled with faintly tinted cathedral glass, in effective patterns, worked by Mr. Atkinson, of Newcastle, under the direction of the architects. The one next to the Sanctuary, on the south side, is the only one as yet filled with stained glass. It is one of a series in which it is intended to represent the principal saints of the North of England, and contains four full-length figures of Archbishops of York all Metropolitans of the old Sees of Hexham and Lindisfarne, namely, St. Chad, St. Wilfrid, St. John, and St. William, with an incident from the lives of these saints under each figure. They are boldly drawn, and well coloured, standing on gresil grounds, effectively surrounded with clear and silvery glass. The monograms of the saints and the arms of York are introduced into the tracery. In the first light is St. Chad, A.D. 673, with York Cathedral in the background. He is in the act of retiring and willingly surrendering his See, at the command of Pope Agatho, to St. Wilfrid. In the subject below, he is praying in his oratory, and receiving from an angel the announcement of of his approaching dissolution. A monk named Owini, chopping wood close by, is a witness of the
vision. [Ven. Bede]. In the second light, St. Wilfrid, A.D. 709, holding in his hand the Psalterium Romanum, advances from the Cathedral of St. Peter, at Ripon, which he founded, to take possession of the See of York. Below, he is represented holding a Synod at the Monastery of St. Hilda, at Steaneshalch [Whitby], before the kings Oswin and Alcfrid. Colman, Bishop of Lindisfarne, and the Scottish clergy are present, wearing the tonsure from ear to ear, with a semi-circle in front. Agelbert, Bishop of Dorchester, and Wilfrid as a Monk, with other monks wearing the circular tonsure on the crown of the head, are debating with them. Standing by Wilfrid s side, is a Monk, holding a book inscribed De observantia temporis Paschalis. St. Wilfrid s great work all his life was the introduction of Roman discipline in the North. In the third light, St. John of Beverley, A.D. 721, bearing in his hand his tomb, is retiring to the Monastery of Beverley, in the background, where he died. He is represented below, restoring to health a dying man called Addi, by making over him the sign of the cross. [Ven. Bede]. In the fourth light is St. William, A.D. 1154, laying aside his coronet, with the Monastic Church of Winchester in the background. He was the son of Emma, sister of King Stephen, and was exiled from the See of York for seven years, which he spent in the Monastery at Winchester. The subject below represents the Saint rescuing the people from drowning by his prayers. They had crowded on to the wooden bridge over the river at York, to welcome him as Bishop, and it had broken down under their weight. [Ven. Bede].; A sum of 200 was paid for this window. It is a fine work, and well represents the advance of modern art, without losing the spirit and feeling of the old work. The artist, on whom it reflects great credit, is Mr. Frampton, of London, working in conjunction with the architects.

babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=umn.31951d02995483v;view=1...
Abstract: A new stabilized formulation of pyrethrins was field tested against larvae of the western hemlock looper by spraying from a helicopter. A selected number of larvae were placed in foliage on platforms were they were fully exposed to the spray and on small trees where they were partially screened from direct spray contact. Ninety-nine percent and 94 percent of the larvae on the platforms and on the trees, respectively, were paralyzed or killed by the insecticide. Most of the larvae fully exposed on the platforms were knocked down within a few minutes after spraying, whereas knockdown of larvae in the trees occurred over a considerably longer period of time. Recovery rate of paralyzed larvae was higher for those that were slow to be knocked down than for larvae knocked down quickly.
