"Stem"
Week 39
This week's challenge was "abstract." I'm not sure if this photo is abstract or not, but it's not the type of photo I'd normally take. I would normally try and keep more of the flower in focus to show more detail. I have been meaning to photograph these flowers all summer long, but I am just not getting around to it.

08/23/2012 Shoppers picking stem tomatoes at Vucciria in Bensonhurst. Fuji Superia X-Tra 400. Konica FC-1. Konica Hexanon 50mm 1:1.4.
Handlebar and stem for the Ellis Briggs.
The stem is similar in design to a Titan stem but may have been rechromed and bears none of the original manufacturers marks. The handlebars have the stamp Belgium on one end and bear the names of S. Maes and M.Kint near the stem bolt clamp. Should look a lot better once taped up.
===General information=== Primrose is a type of herbaceous plant that belongs to the family Primulaceae (primrose family). It originates from Europe and mostly inhabits temperate areas of Northern hemisphere. It grows on the moist, but well-drained soil, in partial shade. These conditions are typically for the grasslands, woodlands, hedgerows and areas near the roads. Primrose is often cultivated in pots or gardens in decorative purposes (because of its beautiful flowers). Besides that, primrose is used in treatment of various disorders (in folk medicine). The damp shady conditions found in woodland are perfect for primroses where they can grow in small clusters across the woodland floor. Primrose has hairy stem that can reach 4 to 12 inches in height. It has tongue-like, green leaves. They are wrinkled and toothed on the edges. The leaves are arranged in the form of a rosette at the base of the plant, close to the ground. Primrose produces individual flowers that are usually yellow colored. Flowers have short flower stalks. Some varieties of primrose produce white, red, pink and purple flowers.. Primrose blooms from March to May. When the winter is mild, blooming can start in December. Primrose produces bisexual flowers of two types: pin and thrum. Even though both types of flowers contain both types of reproductive organs, the male are female parts are not equally prominent. In the pin type of flowers, style (female reproductive organ) is exposed, while stamens (male reproductive organs) are located below. In the thrum type of flowers, stamens are prominent, while style is located deeply inside the flower. Unusual morphology of the primrose flowers ensures cross-pollination (flowers cannot perform self-pollination). Insects with long tongues (such as butterflies) collect pollen from one flower and transfer it on the style of another flower when they land on the primrose to feed on nectar. Fruit of primrose is capsule filled with miniature black seed. The Latin name for the primrose is "Primula". It originates from the word "primus" which means "first" or "early". The name refers to the fact that primrose is one of the first plants that bloom in the spring. The leaves and flowers of primrose are edible and often consumed in the form of salad. Young flowers of primrose can be used in the manufacture of wine. The Dried leaves can be used for the preparation of tea. Primrose is important source of food for the rare species of butterflies such as Duke of Burgundy Butterfly. Primrose was often used in treatment of paralysis, gout and rheumatism in the past. Tincture (alcoholic solution) of the primrose is used in treatment of insomnia, restlessness, headache and cough today. Primrose was used for the preparation of magic potions during the Middle Ages. The 19th of April is traditionally Primrose Day, marking the death of Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli on April 19, 1881. Queen Victoria sent primroses to his funeral. Every year on April 19 primroses are placed by Disraeli’s statue outside Westminster Abbey. Primrose is a perennial plant, which means that it can survive for more than 2 years in the wild. According to an old English superstition a child who ate a Primrose might see a fairy. In Germany it was thought that the first girl to find a primrose at Easter would marry that year. The motto of the Scottish Clan Primrose is Fide et Fiducia (By Faith and Trust) Shakespeare introduced the phrase “the primrose path” or “the primrose way” to signify a lazy and pleasant route through life The Greeks called the primrose “flower of the 12 gods” (dodecatheon) through a belief in its power to heal diseases including paralysis ===Other common names=== Primrose Common primrose English primrose Blue primrose Culver keys ===*Useful resources=== ift.tt/2GEQzBf ift.tt/2FR2sCC ift.tt/2G3Ha8m ift.tt/2tUqIlZ ift.tt/2FY21K3 ===Scientific classification=== Kingdom: Plantae (unranked): Angiosperms (unranked): Eudicots (unranked): Asterids Order: Ericales Family: Primulaceae Genus: Primula *Information sourced from the above sites
BALTIMORE – More than 3,000 people watched Maryland’s top 72 FIRST LEGO League teams of fourth- through eighth-graders compete in the state championships March 1 at the University of Maryland Baltimore County.
U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command Deputy Director Jyuji Hewitt said it was a tremendous opportunity to bring teamwork and science to the young students.
“It’s like our youth leagues in sports,” Hewitt said. “Well, we have a youth league for science. And what a great way to engender that curiosity, that passion at a young age.”
Winners will advance to the World Championships in St. Louis in April.
NAS Oceana and the Virginia Beach City Public School (VBCPS) system have once again partnered to provide every fifth-grader enrolled in Virginia Beach City Public Schools (VBCPS) the opportunity to take a one-of-kind field trip to Naval Air Station (NAS) Oceana, Friday, Sept. 15. The special Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Lab Day, was part of the annual Air Show. This event is being provided free of cost for all students and every child had a chance to take part in hands-on activities and learn about STEM careers in a real-world setting. This included displays and exhibits from NASA Langley, the Office of Naval Research and Naval Research Laboratory, Navy Expeditionary Combat Command, Wesleyen University, Engineering for Kids, Old Dominion University, Landstown High School, Navy history and heritage command, U.S. Naval research laboratory and Virginia Department of Transportation.

Your Adventure Awaits
Discover the remote corners of Pacific Northwest waters aboard the Schooner Zodiac
The Schooner Zodiac is a classic, 160-foot U.S. Coast Guard certified vessel, operated by a licensed captain and experienced team of volunteer crewmembers. She departs her Bellingham homeport for a variety of public and private charters, as well as day and evening sails from spring through fall, exploring the pristine anchorages of the San Juan Islands and Canadian Gulf Islands.
Zodiac is an ideal setting for company events, team-building retreats, wedding receptions and gatherings of family and friends. This beautiful, historic vessel is available for private charter or simply join one of the many public cruises.

16 girls spent a day at Accenture's offices, working on mobile apps to a 'Flood in Beckenham' brief.
A new one on me, but I think it might be one of the Stem Sawflies, so named because the larvae bore into the stems of grasses and shrubs.

Ryan Gardner (second from left) receives his certificate of completion in the Naval Historical Foundation STEM Fellowship Program. At far left is is Dr. Dave Winkler, at right are Captain John Paulson, USN (Ret.), and Dr. Ed Furgol.
These students from Kashmere, North Early College, and Wheatley High Schools worked in cooperative groups to solve a real world problem. Each group of 3 to 4 students posed as an engineering firm that would submit a robotics solution to a geophysics problem. Teams used the LEGO Mindstorm NXT robot to design a vehicle that could climb to the top of a Mountain to retrieve rocks that stored energy. Their vehicle should be able to climb the mountain and continue its motion as the slope of the mountain increased. The team whose robot climbed the highest would win the bid with my company.
NOTE - Nitto in Japan responded to my email in one day and sent me a replacement stem overnight. This was the best response I've ever seen form a bike component manufacturer!
Closeup view of a brand new Nitto Pearl stem with crack in red circled area. At first it looked like a scratch. When I looked at the scratch with a 15x loupe I could clearly see the crack.
I sent an email to Nitto in Japan with pictures of the stem. They responded the very next day and I received a replacement stem a few days later. The package contained prepaid shipping to return the defective stem.
Nitto is a class operation!
