![]() Eggs are inserted into the undersides of newly formed leaves, causing tiny, green blisters to appear on the leaf bottoms. They have a brief lifespan females live 3 days, males only 2. In March and April the larvae pupate, and adult flies begin to emerge in May. Life History– There are three larval stages in the life cycle of this fly, the last of which overwinters. Both females and males then feed on the sap. Moreover, the females insert their ovipositors into the leaf tissue, causing wounds from which sap flows. The larval leaf-mining can cause partial defoliation, especially during a dry season and the mines make the trees unattractive. The fly is particularly damaging to the American hollies.ĭamage– It is the most injurious insect pest of holly in the eastern United States. Other hosts include winterberry (or black alder) and inkberry (or bitter gallberry) and their varieties. Host Plants– The native holly leafminer has infested American, Japanese, Chinese, English, and yaupon hollies. It is found along the East Coast and westward into Ohio and Alabama. Pupa– The oval pupa is reddish brown, 2 mm long, and uniformly tapered to blunt points at both ends.ĭistribution – As the name implies, the native holly leafminer is indigenous to the United States. Larva– The pale-yellow, legless larva is tapered from front to back, with its head retracted into the body. There is only one generation per year.Įgg– The white egg is oval and 0.25 mm long. The native holly leafminer female is generally more active than the male. The first two segments of the antennae are gray, and the third segment is black. Native holly leafminer, Phytomyza ilicicola Loew, Agromyzidae, DIPTERAĪdult – The adult is a small (2.5-mm), black and gray fly. Native Holly Leafminer Skip to Native Holly Leafminer Sooty mold may be present, and plant vigor may be impaired. Tea Scale – Cottony masses are evident on the lower leaf surface.Southern red mite – Small chlorotic spots on leaf surface, heavily infested leaves becoming bronze in color tiny, spiderlike animals (spider mites) on lower leaf surface usually in spring or fall.Native holly leafminer – Irregular, elongate, yellow or brown splotches on upper leaf surface (tunnels) small, chunky maggots in tunnel.They are often accompanied by sooty mold. Japanese wax scale – White, waxy blobs up to 6 mm in diameter appear on limbs and twigs.The native holly leafminer, Japanese wax scale, and southern red mites are the most frequently reported pests of hollies in the southeastern United States. Other than in a commercial nursery, the presence of a few insects or mites on a holly is no reason for great alarm. Although numerous insects and mites have been collected from hollies, plants often withstand prolonged infestations without visible deleterious effects. Over 11 million hollies of 42 varieties are produced in Southern nurseries each year. Hollies, with their tremendous variation in growth habits, leaf size, shape, and color, and sometimes showy berries, are highly desirable landscape plants.

Regardless the future is very long and humans are an adaptable species. Thomas More knew his ideas were impractical but he wanted to give hope to the poor and oppressed, show the world a better way to live, the imbalance of society had to change or hunger, violence and war would follow, 500 years later the planet has not progressed, the foul not gone away. ![]() ![]() Healthcare is free and old people are always provided for in this peaceful land of equality.if you are a citizen. Nonetheless a couple of days a month the inhabitants go to farms and help out, nobody is above getting their hands dirty. Organizing an unique republic where everyone works, and education continues all their lives in neat, clean, small cities looking admittedly like all the rest on the isle, when the population grows to an unmanageable number, new colonies are formed in foreign territories. This was just another barbarous place until a man named Utopus, conquered it during ancient times, he ordered the digging of a large trench and turning a huge peninsula into an island, letting the sea through, which isolated Utopia from the chaos of the mainland. Although they have slaves, mostly criminals and some soldiers captured in war, Utopians seldom fight for themselves hiring foreign mercenaries. The interested listeners are Sir Thomas More and his friend Belgian Peter Giles, both historical figures, a strange tale unfolds, can the two others believe him? The island republic of Utopia is apparently somewhere in the south Atlantic but never fully disclosed its exact location, where people work only six hours a day, choose their own leaders, despise gold and silver, wear the same type of clothes and no private property, however all their needs the state provides, maybe not living lavishly, yet comfortably, Raphael views all this in the capital, Aircastle. He recites the story of his life, has visited many nations in the world but none which effected him so much like his five- year stay on Utopia. Raphael Hythloday a Portuguese traveler when Portugal ruled the seas with a very unlikely name for a native of that country. Sir Thomas or Saint Thomas More, depending on your affiliation, Utopia, ( greatly influenced by Plato's The Republic) is a satire about tumultuous English politics published in 1516. The Soviet Union honoured him for the Communistic attitude toward property rights expressed in Utopia.Īs the centuries roll by, more and more books are written about Utopian societies that should be established on Earth, but the few actually tried. Pope John Paul II in 2000 declared him the "heavenly Patron of Statesmen and Politicians." Since 1980, the Church of England has remembered More liturgically as a Reformation martyr. Pope Pius XI canonised More in 1935 as a martyr. After refusing to take the Oath of Supremacy, he was convicted of treason and beheaded. More opposed the King's separation from the Catholic Church, refusing to acknowledge Henry as Supreme Head of the Church of England and the annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. He also wrote Utopia, published in 1516, about the political system of an imaginary ideal island nation. More opposed the Protestant Reformation, in particular the theology of Martin Luther and William Tyndale. He was a councillor to Henry VIII and also served as Lord High Chancellor of England from October 1529 to. Sir Thomas More (1477-1535), venerated by Catholics as Saint Thomas More, was an English lawyer, social philosopher, author, statesman, and noted Renaissance humanist. In this new, inexpensive edition, readers can study for themselves the essentials of More's utopian vision and how, although the ideal society he envisioned is still unrealized, at least some of his proposals have come to pass in today's world. All of them, however, seem to embody ideas already present in More's classic optimistic faith in human nature, emphasis on the environment and proper education, nostalgia for a lost innocence, and other positive elements. In the nearly 500 years since the book's publication, there have been many attempts at establishing "Utopias" both in theory and in practice. Based to some extent on the writings of Plato and other earlier authors, Utopia nevertheless contained much that was original with More. In this work, which gave its name to the whole genre of books and movements hypothesizing an ideal society, More envisioned a patriarchal island kingdom that practiced religious tolerance, in which everybody worked, no one has more than his fellows, all goods were community-owned, and violence, bloodshed, and vice nonexistent. First published in Latin in 1516, Utopia was the work of Sir Thomas More (1477–1535), the brilliant humanist, scholar, and churchman executed by Henry VIII for his refusal to accept the king as the supreme head of the Church of England. ![]() ![]() Of world trade, up from about a quarter in the early 1970s.

This forever changed the course of the fashion industry.Īs we have seen, purple is associated with wealth, nobility, royalty, and power. This new color became popular quite quickly, and with new production processes available, the color could be mass-produced. The dye color was named mauveine, and we know it as mauve. As with many things, the experiments led to the discovery of what is known as a synthetic aniline dye. A British chemistry student was experimenting with creating synthetic quinine. As the 19th century came around, something occurred that changed the tide of the color purple. The color purple was still being worn by those with wealth and authority all through the 18th century. This is where purple began to be seen or associated with knowledge and wisdom. During this time royalty wore the color purple less, however, professors and students, especially those of religious studies, began wearing purple. The Virgin Mary was often depicted wearing purple robes. Numerous religious paintings during the Renaissance period contain the color purple. Church leaders of a lower status wore cheaper cloth that was first dyed with indigo blue and then covered with red obtained from kermes dye (a dye obtained from an insect that is found in the Mediterranean). In 1464, however, Pope Paul II announced that Tyrian purple should not be worn by the cardinals since the dye was not obtainable any longer, and instead, scarlet robes were introduced. Tyrian purple was used for a long time by the clergy and church leaders. The Color Purple Through the Middle Ages and During the Renaissance This is why crimson was seen as the most popular, however, purple soon overtook crimson around the 6th century. In Ancient China, colors were ranked according to importance and respectability and the primary colors were most admired. ![]() This inflated the purple fabric prices, making it five times more expensive than other fabrics. During this time, a ruler in one of the states in China grew fond of the color and purple became extremely popular. Unfortunately, the dye did not adhere to well to fabrics which made it quite expensive to use. In China, the purple color was obtained from the roots of the purple gromwell plant. This is why the color purple is associated with nobility, royalty, priests, kings, and anybody who had money and status. This made any material dyed in purple expensive and was, therefore, only worn by the wealthy. Tyrian is a deep purple color that was harvested from the mucus of a certain species of snail in the Mediterranean and then processed using extremely difficult and expensive methods. Archeologists have discovered paintings that were created by using hematite powder as well as manganese powder. The color purple first came into the spotlight thousands of years ago during the Neolithic period. Many believe that understanding the where, when, and how of colors should have a profound effect on art created today. Throughout history, in China, Rome, Europe, and around the world, the color purple has left a significant trail behind. The first colors were obtained from the earth or by grinding berries to extract the natural pigments within. 7.4 Is There a Specific Blue Needed to Create Purple?Īll colors, but particularly the purple color, have had a big part to play in history.7.3 Does Purple Have a Complementary Color?.4.3 Softening Bright Pure Purple Shades with Complementing Hues.3 How to Make Purple by Understanding Color Bias.1.4 Moving through the 18th and 19th Century.1.3 The Color Purple Through the Middle Ages and During the Renaissance. ![]() Ryuko Matoi +18 cosplay naked photos and images leaked from Onlyfans, Patreon, Fansly.

He also hopes that the new AP African American Studies course will incentivize more Black students to take AP classes early on and continue to take them throughout their high school career in the same way some states have used AP Spanish as an incentive for Hispanic students. Every high school in the country will receive an evaluation as to whether their AP classrooms look like the demographics of their school, Packer said. This fall, the nonprofit is expected to unveil a new school recognition program. The second is addressing why Black students aren’t being enrolled at proportionate rates in AP classes. The first is onboarding a team with expertise in Native education to address a major disparity: Native American students are 20 percent less likely to have AP classes in their school than all other peers. Diverse representationĪs the College Board looks to diversify the students taking AP classes, Packer shared two particular initiatives. The nonprofit is working to offer free teacher training for districts who commit to offering more sections of AP classes to ensure more students have the option to enroll. In his interview with Education Week, Packer elaborated on that, sharing that College Board research has found one or two AP classes at most per year of high school is enough to prepare students for college. In July, at the AP annual conference in Seattle, Packer shared with AP teachers and school administrators in attendance a two-fold concern for the College Board: that a small percentage of American students were piling up AP classes on their schedules while a majority of their peers barely had access to limited AP seats. ISBN 978-2-1.To catch up on what he said, here are four major takeaways from Packer’s conversation with EdWeek. Learning in the Fast Lane: The Past, Present, and Future of Advanced Placement. ^ a b "Criticism misses this century's biggest education success story".^ a b "Rethinking Advanced Placement".^ "Trevor Packer, College Entrance Examination Board: Profile and Biography - Bloomberg Markets".Vice President, AP and Instruction – College Board". ^ a b c "Meet the man who made Advanced Placement the most influential - and controversial - tool in American education".Nat Malkus, a researcher at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, praised Packer's expansion of the AP program as the "rarest kind of success in public education". Scanlan also found that during the period of rapid growth under Packer, the average AP score "barely budged: 2.84 in 2017, down slightly from 2.88 in 2007," and attributes this to "Packer's own hand on the AP tiller since 2003". Packer responded to these criticisms by emphasizing that average test scores had not dropped significantly when access to the courses was expanded. Packer's rapid expansion of the program generated criticism that AP was financially benefiting from underprepared and underprivileged students taking exams. The redesign of the AP US History course generated significant controversy in 2014. The number of multiple-choice questions on the exams was decreased, while various subjects' exam weights shifted to written responses, analysis of sources and data, projects, and portfolios. Packer launched sweeping changes to AP courses in the 2012-13 academic year, following recommendations from the National Research Council and the National Academy of Science. When Lee Jones left the AP program in 2003, Packer took over as the head of the program. ![]() In 1999, Packer was given the title of Assistant Director of Operations. ![]() Packer began his career with the College Board as a temporary employee for the AP office in New York City while earning a PhD in English. At age 19, he served as a missionary in Milwaukee, before earning undergraduate and graduate degrees at Brigham Young University in English. He was raised a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Packer was born in Provo, Utah, the first of nine children to Shirlee Packer and Rand Packer.
