Nov.4, 2018: The Karnak Temple Complex, commonly known as Karnak, comprises a vast mix of temples, chapels, pylons, and other buildings near Luxor, in Egypt.
A cult temple dedicated to Amun, Mut and Khonsu. The largest religious building complex ever constructed. The temple of Karnak was known as Ipet-isu—or “most select of places”—by the ancient Egyptians. It is a city of temples built over 2,000 years and dedicated to the Theban triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. This derelict place is still capable of overshadowing many wonders of the modern world and in its day must have been awe-inspiring.
For the largely uneducated ancient Egyptian population, this could only have been the place of the gods. It is the largest religious building ever made, covering about 200 acres (1.5 km by 0.8 km), and was a place of pilgrimage for nearly 2,000 years. The area of the sacred enclosure of Amun alone is sixty-one acres and could hold ten average European cathedrals. The great temple at the heart of Karnak is so big that St Peter’s, Milan, and Notre Dame Cathedrals would fit within its walls.
The Hypostyle hall, at 54,000 square feet (16,459 meters) and featuring 134 columns, is still the largest room of any religious building in the world. In addition to the main sanctuary there are several smaller temples and a vast sacred lake – 423 feet by 252 feet (129 by 77 meters). The sacred barges of the Theban Triad once floated on the lake during the annual Opet festival. The lake was surrounded by storerooms and living quarters for the priests, along with an aviary for aquatic birds.

The Egyptians believed that towards the end of annual agricultural cycle the gods and the earth became exhausted and required a fresh input of energy from the chaotic energy of the cosmos.
To accomplish this magical regeneration the Opet festival was held yearly at Karnak and Luxor. It lasted for twenty-seven days and was also a celebration of the link between pharaoh and the god Amun. The procession began at Karnak and ended at Luxor Temple, one and a half miles (2.4 kilometres) to the south.
The statue of the god Amun was bathed with holy water, dressed in fine linen, and adorned in gold and silver jewellery. The priests then placed the god in a shrine and onto the ceremonial barque supported by poles for carrying. Pharaoh emerged from the temple, his priests carrying the barque on their shoulders, and together they moved into the crowded streets. A troop of Nubian soldiers serving as guards beat their drums, and musicians accompanied the priests in song as incense filled the air.
At Luxor, Pharaoh and his priests entered the temple and ceremonies were performed to regenerate Amun, recreate the cosmos and transfer Amun’s power to Pharaoh. When he finally emerged from the temple sanctuary, the vast crowds cheered him and celebrated the guaranteed fertility of the earth and the expectation of abundant harvests.
During the festival the people were given over 11000 loaves of bread and more than 385 jars of beer, and some were allowed into the temple to ask questions of the god. The priests spoke the answers through a concealed window high up in the wall, or from inside hollow statues.

Internet research:
1) Organism :three-leaf-clover (trifolium)
2) disperses using pollination through abiotic factors like wind and biotic factors including bees
3) Found in the temperate Northern Hemisphere
5) 3
6) Clumping of organisms possible to outlast extreme stress. also the attraction to bumble bees as a food source helps the spread of the clover across distances.
Observation:
1)Multiple population
2) Mating Members are in close proximity (next to each other)
3)the population is clumped
4) the plant can grow in any place that it feels comfortable, the min driving force that is involved in the positioning of the clover has to do with the competition with other plant species and the amount of pollination to occur.
5)Source
6) The offsprings are dispersed through wind, but mostly the offspring are found right next to the parent plant. Sometimes of course biotic factors can play a role in moving the offspring a far distance
7) Immigrants come from other species' clumps of clovers. Either through wind or biotic factors factors
From Brain and Calculator:
r = ln(R)/T
r = ln (3)/1 = 1.09
in 5 cycles: 5.48
in 20 cycles: 21.89
The organism is not showing these signs of dispersa. There are constant other factors from the outside world working on the process fo reproduction in clovers. Yes the plant is dominating the area. But in some areas the clover cannot reproduce due to other species. And biotic factors such as bee's play a huge role t the speed of reproduction of clovers. with the decline of these factors we can see a decline in reprouction.
From Literature:
Two models that resmeble our species of the clovers are that of humans and of a lichin species called Parmelia Sulcata
Lichin Species:
Very tolerant to stress like our clover the Lichin can be found almost anywhere in the world
Article: "Distribution in Portugal of some polluytants in the Lichin Parmelia Sulcata"
URL : www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0269749199000718
The study conducted shows that the dispersal of the lichin population is governed by the toxic pollutants that can kill it. Maybe the clovers are exhibiting the same kind of effect with the surrounding species that take up substances the clovers need.
Human Species:
Spread throughout entire world, except for very high stress and highly disturbed areas. Humans, like the clover, are permitted by nature to grow without limit
Article: "Human population an the GLobal Environment: Population Growth, rising per capita material consumption, and disruptive technologies, have made civilization a global force.
URL: www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/27844882?uid=3739560&u...
The human organism can populate and grow without limit and is governed by very little in its own choice of where to live on earth. Some factors could be that it is just to hostile of a place that it doesnt allow the time to properly anchor oneself to the earth itself.
QUESTION:
What factors contribute to the abundance of the trifolium clover and allow it to cover the entire site?

Community Lunar Lunch on May 4, 2018. Bristol Parks and Bristol on the River sponsored the "Meet your Bristol Neighbors" LUNAR LUNCH at Cummins Park behind the Historical Museum at 7pm on Friday night, May 4, 2018 from 7-9 pm. A crowd of over 80 adults and children came out to enjoy the free hotdogs, chips and treats and listen to the Bristol history storytellers. Nearly everyone from 4 to 80 played the trivia game hunting and finding the 7 Painted rocks that contained the answers, and all came forward to collect their painted Bristol slogan rock prize. Also featured was John Nymeyer's Folk Band The Promissory Notes which played music to end the evening’s entertainment. Folks sang along and even danced. It was a fun-filled evening for all, and plans are underway to hold more community park events for the summer and fall of this year. Just the Facts: Bristol Resident Susie Meeks-Wade won a grant for her Little Big Idea from Vibrant communities to hold this fun event to bring both Bristol residents and those who enjoy Bristol’s parks to come to the LUNAR LUNCH in Bristol at 7pm on Friday, May 4, 2018 at Cummins Park, behind the Bristol Historical Museum for an evening of fun, food, music, history and fellowship for all!

CHALLENGES OF OUR TIMES-II .
&~~ ad. Ve#UJ.~.· Unpack The Ruling Class Political .
Discourse That Seeks to Silence Burning Questions of People's Movements .
.
Recent years ha-ve witnessed sustained democratic struggles and intense people's movements. There w ere massive waves of prote.s~ ag~inst corruption, corporate plunder aod the policies that promote it, against rape and rape culture and for women's freedom. .
Pitched battles have been waged at Nagri near Ranchi and against the Koodankulam, Jaitapur, POSC~, Vedanta projects, that threaten to grab land and livelihood and endanger safety. Workers have held unprecedentedly successful mass scale all-India strikes, and have struggled against crackdowns on labour laws and industrial democracy, most notably .
at Maruti's Manesar factory. Sustained campaigns to expose and demand justice in fake encounter and custodial torture and custodial death cases and against witch-hunt of Muslim youth are taking place-in the Batla House, lshrat Jahan, Malegaon and Mecca .
Masjid cases, at Azamgarh and Darbhanga, to name just a few. Efforts of activists have yielded results in exposing extrajudicial killings under cover of the AFSPA in Kashmir and Manipur, and Irom Sharmila's heroic fast has drawn enormous support in her crusade against the AFSPA. Even as perpetrators of Dalit massacres in Bihar were set free, campaigns against the judicial massacres have emerged .
with new determination. We have seen the struggles of adivasis for justice against massacres masquerading as fake encounters in· Odisha and Chhattisgarh, and against the atrocities of the Salwa Judum. And in the face of all odds, .
" .
hrave women like Zakia Jafri (wife of Ehsan Jafri, butchered during the Gujarat 2002 massacre) and Bibi Jagdish Kaur and other women who survived the Sikh massacre of 1984, are keeping the struggle for justice alive. .
A Choice between 'Governance' and 'Secularism'? As the Lok Sabha polls of 2014 approach, the mainstream media and ruling parties are defining the choice before the Indian citizen as a choice between 'governance' and 'secularism'-a short-hand description of choice between 'Modi as equivalent to governance' and 'Congress as equivalent to secularism'. It is implied that if we want 'governance', we should concede that communal violence or fake encounters or corporate land grab are irrelevant questions. And it is implied that if we want 'secularism', we must likewise agree to overlookmassive corruption, open plunder, opportunism, and outright repression. .
Must we resign ourselves to this 'choke'? Or must we assert that such a 'choice' is an affront to the tough questions .
posed by the people's movements? .
On the eve of lndep~ndence Day let us instead strive to unpack the official, superficial discourse of 'governance' and .
'secularism', which empties these terms of pny democratic content-and define it in terms that are compatible with .
the highest, most consistent democratic norms, with the goals for which people's movements are striving. .
.
The New Myths of 'Governance' and 'Development' .
In the corporate media's language, 'governance' and 'development' have always meant neoliberal, pro-corporate .
policies {supposedly 'good for the economy'), insulated from the compulsions of 'populism' (read democracy). And if .
.
people protest against what's 'good for the economy' but bad for their rights to land, livelihood, labour rights etc, .
'good governance' is supposed to be the ability to control and suppress protests. .
It is important to recall that, until the Radia Tapes and revelations of multiple scams spoilt the story, Manmohan Singh .
.
was feted by the corporate media as a model leader representing 'good governance.' Similarly, we can recall that until .
very recently, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar was the media darling, hailed for changing the old 'feel-bad' Bihar script, and .
ushering in an agenda of 'development' and 'growth.' Today, the new corporate-backed superman of 'governance' is .
supposed to be Narendra Modi. But in each ofthese cases, these votaries of 'developmenf are presiping over neoliberal .
policies that are th~ harbingers of crony capitalism, w.idespread displacement, environmental degradation and the .
loss of lives and:livelihoods. .
