V. dentatum Smith var. lanceolatum (A. Gray) Skottsberg
Hawaiian names: `ōhelo
Family: Ericaceae (the heath family)
Habit: a shrub.
Native. This hybrid combination is found in many areas in the wetter mesic and the drier wet zones in both the Wai`anae and Ko`olau Mountains of O`ahu.
All of the Vaccinium plants that I saw on March 11, 2012 on this ridge system were seen along a short section of a ridge crest. It appeared that there were at least 10 or 15 separate clones of Vaccinium there. Only one of the clones looked like it could pass for a non-hybrid plant of V. calycinum var. calycinum. All of the rest looked like V. calycinum var. calycinum x V. dentatum var. lanceolatum hybrids. Photographs of the plant that looked like it could be a pure V. calycinum var. calycinum:

Curious about the different options to the GIMP's desaturate tool and what they actually do?
I was.
(Gimp 2.4.1)
Giant sequoias are the world's largest single trees and largest living thing by volume. Giant sequoias grow to an average height of 50–85 m (164–279 ft) and 6–8 m (20–26 ft) in diameter. Record trees have been measured to be 94.8 m (311 ft) in height. Between 2014 and 2016, specimens of coast redwood were found to have larger trunk diameters than all known giant sequoias. The oldest known giant sequoia based on ring count is 3,500 years old. Giant Sequoias are among the oldest living things on Earth. Sequoia bark is fibrous, furrowed, and may be 90 cm (3.0 ft) thick at the base of the columnar trunk. It provides significant fire protection for the trees. The leaves are evergreen, awl-shaped, 3–6 millimetres (0.12–0.24 in) long, and arranged spirally on the shoots. The seed cones are 4–7 centimetres (1.6–2.8 in) long and mature in 18–20 months, though they typically remain green and closed for up to 20 years; each cone has 30–50 spirally arranged scales, with several seeds on each scale, giving an average of 230 seeds per cone. The seed is dark brown, 4–5 millimetres (0.16–0.20 in) long and 1 millimetre (0.039 in) broad, with a 1-millimetre (0.039 in) wide, yellow-brown wing along each side. Some seeds are shed when the cone scales shrink during hot weather in late summer, but most are liberated when the cone dries from fire heat or is damaged by insects. The giant sequoia regenerates by seed. Young trees start to bear cones at the age of 12 years. Trees up to about 20 years old may produce stump sprouts subsequent to injury, but unlike coast redwoods, shoots do not form on the stumps of mature trees. Giant sequoias of all ages may sprout from their boles when branches are lost to fire or breakage. At any given time, a large tree may be expected to have about 11,000 cones. Cone production is greatest in the upper portion of the canopy. A mature giant sequoia has been estimated to disperse 300,000–400,000 seeds per year. The winged seeds may be carried up to 180 metres (590 ft) from the parent tree. Lower branches die fairly readily from shading, but trees less than 100 years old retain most of their dead branches. Trunks of mature trees in groves are generally free of branches to a height of 20–50 metres (66–164 ft), but solitary trees will retain low branches. === Good websites to check out: ift.tt/2AauvNG... ift.tt/2AzCrJg... ift.tt/1jZpwCd === Scientific classification e Kingdom: Plantae Division: Pinophyta Class: Pinopsida Order: Pinales Family: Cupressaceae Genus: Sequoiadendron Species: S. giganteum Binomial name Sequoiadendron giganteum
Abigail weighs 16 pounds and is 26.5 inches tall at six month. According to the pediatrician, she has average weight (at 50 percentile) but is taller than average (at 75 percentile). She babbles a lot and loves attention. Her favorite activity is still grabbing papers and putting them into her mouth. Her voice gets louder and louder, especially when she babbles in the morning when she wakes up in her basinet. She stamps her feet hard whenever she feels happy or gets excited about something while lying down.
During the day mommy has to work. Abigail hates it when mommy is out of her sight or stays more than a meter away. Mommy plays classical music CDs to Abigail to keep her entertained and stimulated while working hoping Abigail will be able to play cello or violin one day. Abigail feels most loved and happiest at night when both daddy and mommy are sitting next to her after dinner. She gets really expressive. Sometimes she smiles at daddy for a moment then turns around to look at mommy while making a clucking sound as if she is having a conversation with both of them.
During daddy and mommy's first experiment of movie outing, Abigail cried a long time in the theatre where the loud noise really annoyed her. But surprisingly she really enjoyed the four-hour long international championship of figure skating at the Staple Center. She looked around everywhere, smiled and babbled to people sitting around her non-stop happily. She was pretty much a show as the competition itself to a lot of people in the audience.
At six month, Abigail still doesn't sleep through the night and needs to be fed 2-3 times every night. She doesn't enjoy solid food too much and can only swallow at most two teaspoon of rice cereal. She still doesn't enjoy tummy time as much. But she can sit steadily by herself for a long time. If there is a piece of paper in front of her while laying on her tummy, she then will be very persistent to grab it.
The average “compensation value” per tree is approximately $630 (Nowak, Crane and Dwyer 2002). That means for every tree you cut down you are loosing $630 worth of services. Therefore, urban forests are an incredibly valuable resource that is worth protecting!
When you are reviewing a development proposal try to preserve existing trees on the property by building around trees or incorporating them into the development design.

Did you know?
The osprey is one of the most widespread birds of prey and can be found on every continent except Antarctica.
Ospreys are superb fishers and indeed eat little else—fish make up some 99 percent of their diet. Because of this appetite, these birds can be found near ponds, rivers, lakes, and coastal waterways around the world. Ospreys hunt by diving to the water's surface from some 30 to 100 feet (9 to 30 meters) up. They have gripping pads on their feet to help them pluck fish from the water with their curved claws and carry them for great distances. In flight, ospreys will orient the fish headfirst to ease wind resistance.
Ospreys are sometimes confused with bald eagles, but can be identified by their white underparts. Their white heads also have a distinctive black eyestripe that goes down the side of their faces. Eagles and ospreys frequent similar habitats and sometimes battle for food. Eagles often force osprey to drop fish that they have caught and steal them in midair.
Human habitat is sometimes an aid to the osprey. The birds happily build large stick-and-sod nests on telephone poles, channel markers, and other such locations. Artificial nesting platforms are common in areas where preservationists are working to reestablish the birds. North American osprey populations became endangered in the 1950s due to chemical pollutants such as DDT, which thinned their eggshells and hampered reproduction. Ospreys have rebounded significantly in recent decades, though they remain scarce in some locales.
Most ospreys are migratory birds that breed in the north and migrate south for the winter. They lay eggs (typically three), which both parents help to incubate. Osprey eggs don't hatch all at once, but are staggered in time so that some siblings are older and more dominant. When food is scarce these stronger birds may take it all and leave their siblings to starve.
How much does breast augmentation cost?
The average cost of breast augmentation in the US is $3,719. This price based on the 2016 statistics of American Society of Plastic Surgeons. And if you wish for a breast implant removal surgery, its average cost is $2,506.
The figures stated only reflect the cost of the procedure itself. If you’re a good candidate for a breast augmentation surgery, you have to remember that cosmetic surgery costs vary widely. The average prices mentioned above doesn’t include other relevant fees for the cosmetic treatment. Overall cost for the procedure may range around $5,000 to $10,000.
Here’s a list of few things you need to consider when plan your budget for breast augmentation surgery:
Geographic location of the surgical facility
Type of breast augmentation procedure
Medical examinations
Laboratory tests
Consultation fees
Surgeon’s fee
Facility costs
Anesthesia fees
Surgical equipment/material costs
Post-surgery garments
Medical prescriptions
You may like to plan things out properly before undergoing a breast augmentation procedure. Finances can sometimes be a stumbling block when considering beauty enhancements. But if you’re determined to undergo surgery, you may need proper research and careful planning.

Red-headed Trogon
The red-headed trogon (Harpactes erythrocephalus) is a species of bird in the family Trogonidae.
The red-headed trogon is on average 34 cm (13 in) in length. The male has a red head and breast, a unique feature in the Trogon group. The female resembles the Diard’s trogon without a speckled undertail.
The head, neck and upper breast of an adult male is dull crimson. A narrow white band crosses the mid breast, underneath which the lower breast to abdomen is light red to pink. Pale red can be observed on the flanks whereas the mantle and back of the bird are rusty brown. The male perches on branches with the support of mauve-blue legs. Regarding wing colouration, the lesser and median wing coverts, secondary coverts, as well as outer webs of tertials and secondaries are vermiculated black and white. The primary feathers also appear black and white. As for the bird’s long tail, the central feathers are dark brown with a black tip, the second and third pairs are black and the outer pairs are white with black bases. Finally, a black-tipped cobalt blue bill, a deep mauve-blue gape and eyering and reddish-brown irises shape the bird’s face.
The head, neck and upper breast of an adult female are olive-brown. Just like the male, a narrow white band crosses the mid breast, underneath which the lower breast to abdomen is light red to pink. The mantle and back appear orange to brown in colour. The wings are vermiculated dark brown and yellowish brown. The tail feathers are very similar to those of the males. The bill, gape and bare eyering are pale blue on females.
At the juvenile stage, the head, neck and upper-parts are buff brown, whereas the underparts appear buff white. No black tip on the narrower central tail feathers can be observed.
The Red-headed trogon is a widely distributed species of the Harpactes genus and is occurs across much of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It is sporadically distributed from North-Eastern India, Bangladesh and Central Nepal to Southern China, through the Malay Peninsula all the way to areas of Sumatra.
The red-headed trogon prefers upland forests. In the Himalayan foothills it lives in dense broad-leaved forests and in tropical and subtropical zones the species inhabits mostly mixed bamboo forests. In Southeast Asia, this species frequents broadleaved evergreen forests from 300m up to 2600m. In Myanmar, Red-headed trogons live in bamboo and oak forests at 2500m altitude with Ward's Trogons (Harpactes wardi). On the Malay Peninsula, the birds can be observed regularly between 300m and 1680m in evergreen lowland, lower montane and taller upper montane forests. Towards the south of the peninsula however, it is rarely seen below 700m. In Laos, it shares its habitat of evergreen forests and adjacent plains 1700m high, with the Orange-breasted Trogon (Harpactes oreskios). Finally, in northern, western and southern Thailand, it favours climax broad-leaved evergreen forests between 400m and 2000m which it also shares with the Orange-breasted Trogon (Harpactes oreskios).
The bird's local conservation status varies depending on the level of disturbance in the forest. Generally speaking it is locally fairly common in Northeastern India, frequent in Bhutan, and locally dispersed in Bangladesh. The forests of Vietnam appear to be a stronghold, for the birds are reported regularly from many localities throughout the country. Elsewhere throughout its range, it is uncommon to scarce, including Nepal where habitat destruction most certainly explains a rapid decline in population numbers in that area.
In most regions, the red-headed trogon is sedentary although researchers have observed altitudinal movements in Southern Laos, as well as in the Sangthong district, Northern Laos.
Red-headed trogons can most often be found perched on a shaded branch waiting for prey, alone or in pairs. Flight between trees is often sluggish and very low, only a few meters above the ground.
Red-headed trogons are most active in the early hours of the morning and at night, when they fly on the edges of forest clearings in pursuit of flying moths.
In central south Thailand, they share their habitat with the Orange-breasted trogon (Harpactes oreskios). The two species often follow flocks of foraging birds taking advantage of the insects they flush out.
The male’s call resembles that of the Eurasian golden oriole (Oriolus oriolus): a sequence of usually five to six, well-spaced mellow “tyaup” notes, repeated every minute. Occasionally the male calls an extended “pluu-du” note marked by a significant terminal drop in pitch. The call is repeated every 3–6 seconds. As an alarm signal, the Red-headed trogon emits a chattering croak.
Red-headed trogons feed primarily on insects and their larvae found in the foliage, on tree branches or in mid air. They also eat leaves and fruits. Some food items include green orthopterans, stick-insects, cicadas, millipedes, flies, beetles, centipedes, woodlice and moths.
In Northern India, eggs are laid between mid April and mid July, with a peak in May and June. In China, eggs are laid in April, as do eggs in Myanmar. In Thailand, nesting occurs slightly earlier, in March and continues until July, while on the Malay Peninsula dependent juveniles have been observed anytime between early March and late May.
Red-headed trogons usually nest in natural tree cavities, 1.5 to 5m above the ground. The entrance hole is generally wide. Indeed, the pair will enlarge narrow entrances, and occasionally, will excavate the entire nesting cavity. Birds have been seen using old nesting holes of woodpeckers and barbets.
Both sexes contribute to the nesting process, namely excavating, incubating the eggs, brooding and feeding the offspring. However females spend more time brooding, since they alone incubate and brood at night. Males on the other hand contribute more to providing the chicks with food. During the day the pair will take it in turns to brood although they have been known to incubate together.
Nest success is low, at about 9%.
