Early life

His mother believed he was born in January, 1928, but Liston would later claim his birth date to be May 8, 1932.

Liston was born the son of a sharecropper in the sector of Morledge Plantation that lay in Johnson Township, St. Francis County, Arkansas. He was the 12th of 13 children born to Tobe Liston and Helen Baskin, and he endured frequent beatings as a child. At 13, he escaped from his father’s control and hitchhiked to St. Louis by himself to reunite with his mother and his cousins.

After he was sentenced to prison, as a teenager, for taking part in the robbery of a gas station, his boxing talent was discovered by a Roman Catholic priest, and it was boxing that helped him leave jail early. On Halloween night in 1952, he was paroled, and during a brief amateur career that spanned less than a year, he won several amateur tournaments, including the Golden Gloves. One of his victims was Olympic Heavyweight Champion Ed Sanders.

Liston made his professional debut on September 2, 1953, knocking out Don Smith in the first round in St. Louis, where he fought his first five bouts , drawstring mesh bag .

At 6′ 0″, Liston had a disproportionately long reach of 84″ (equaled only by some champs who were/are 6′4″ and over). He also had the largest fists in heavyweight history, 15″, at least until the recent appearance of 7-ft Nikolay Valuev. His noticeably more muscular left arm and crushing left jab lends credence to the widely held belief that he was left-handed but utilized an orthodox stance.

Liston’s favorite song was “Night Train”. He was known to repeat both versions (Jimmy Forrest’s original 1952 version and James Brown’s 1965 smash hit) during long rope jumping sessions.

In his 6th bout, in Detroit, Michigan, Liston faced John Summerlin (19-1-2) on national television and won an eight-round decision. He later beat Summerlin in a rematch, but then suffered his first defeat, also in Detroit, at the hands of Marty Marshall on September 7, 1954. In the third round, Marshall, a defensive-minded journeyman, managed to break Liston’s jaw with a right hand while Liston was laughing at the smaller man’s unorthodox ring tactics. Liston proved his mettle by lasting the scheduled eight rounds despite the pain.

In 1955, he won six fights, he won five by knockouts, including a rematch with Marshall, whom he knocked out in six rounds. A rubber match with Marshall in 1956 saw him the winner by a ten-round decision, but in May of that year he again ran afoul of the law, accused of beating up a police officer. He was paroled after serving six months of a nine-month sentence and prohibited from boxing during 1957.

In 1958, he returned to boxing, winning eight fights that year. 1959 was a banner year for Liston, as he fought four times, knocking out Mike DeJohn in six, No. 1 challenger Cleveland Williams in three, and Nino Valdez, also in three. Despite moving up in the rankings, Liston had difficulty getting a shot at world heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson, whose handlers cited Liston’s links with the mob.

In 1960, Liston won five more fights, including a rematch with Williams, who lasted only two rounds. He also had knockout wins over Roy Harris (one round) and top contender Zora Folley (three rounds). Eddie Machen was the only contender who was not knocked out by Liston, but Liston secured a one-sided, 12-round decision.

Patterson-Liston

In 1962, Floyd Patterson finally signed to meet Liston for the world title. The fight was scheduled to be held in New York, but the New York Boxing Commission denied him a license because of his criminal record. As a result, the fight was moved to Comiskey Park, Chicago, Illinois. Liston and Patterson met on September 25 of that year, and Liston became world champion by knocking out Patterson in the first round.

Liston, however, was not a popular champion and was disappointed that on his return to his hometown of Philadelphia, the fans did not show up at the airport to cheer his success.

Patterson and Liston signed for a rematch, held on the evening of July 22, 1963, in Las Vegas, Nevada. This fight lasted two seconds longer than their first fight, with Liston once again knocking out Patterson in the first round.

Liston-Clay

Main article: Muhammad Ali versus Sonny Liston

Liston did not box again that year, and in 1964 on the evening of February 25 in Miami, Florida he fought against Cassius Clay, whom odds-makers made a distant 8-1 underdog. Liston lost his title when he shockingly quit in his corner before the start of the seventh round, claiming he had hurt his shoulder. Some believed the fight was fixed, and doubted whether Liston’s shoulder injury was real.

A Special Issue cover of Sports Illustrated shows Ali yelling at Liston to “Get up and fight.”

On May 25, 1965, Liston would encounter Clay again, now known as Muhammad Ali. The bout was originally scheduled for Boston, Massachusetts, but Ali, a week before the fight, was hospitalized with a hernia. The rescheduled match was held in the city of Lewiston, Maine.

Less than two minutes into the fight, while he was pulling away from Liston, Ali hit Liston with an extremely quick punch which didn’t seem to have much weight behind it. However, Liston awkwardly went down, first lurching forward to the canvas then sprawling out onto his back, spread-eagled. In the total shambles that followed, referee Jersey Joe Walcott never counted over Liston and never made Ali go to a neutral corner, while Ali yelled hysterically at Liston, running around the ring, arms aloft. During this time Liston made an attempt to get back to his feet, before again rolling onto his back.

After Liston finally got up, ringside boxing writer Nat Fleischer, who had no authority, informed Walcott that Liston had been on the canvas for over 10 seconds (during which time the fight briefly resumed), and that the fight should be over. Walcott then waved the fight off. The photograph of the knockdown of this fight is one of the most heavily promoted photos in the history of the media, and was even chosen as the cover of the Sports Illustrated special issue, “The Century’s Greatest Sports Photos”.

Subsequent fights

After the second loss to Ali, Liston took a year off from boxing, returning in 1966 and 1967, winning four consecutive bouts in Sweden, co-promoted by Ingemar Johansson. These knockout victories included one over Amos Johnson, who had recently defeated Henry Cooper. In 1968, he won seven fights, all by knockout, including one in Mexico. During that year, he stopped the young prospect Henry Clark (seven rounds), who was ranked No. 5 at the time. This bout was broadcast on ABC’s “Wide World Of Sports” and was America’s first look at Liston since the Ali rematch.

In 1969, Liston had three wins and one loss. Among his wins was a 10-round decision over Billy Joiner in St. Louis. But, in December, Liston lost by a knockout in nine rounds to Leotis Martin in Las Vegas after dominating the majority of the fight. But while Martin’s career ended after the fight because of a detached retina, Liston went on to win his final fight by technical knockout, against Chuck Wepner in June 1970.

Death

Liston was negotiating to fight George Chuvalo in Pittsburgh, when he was found dead by his wife in their Las Vegas home on January 5, 1971. The time of death has been placed as six to eight days prior to that, and several sources list December 30, 1970 as his date of passing. Following an investigation, Las Vegas police concluded that there were no signs of foul play.

The cause of Liston’s death remains a mystery. The police declared it a heroin overdose. As documented on the show Unsolved Mysteries, authorities found a puncture wound on Liston’s right arm, a syringe near his body, and small bags of heroin inside his kitchen. Authorities thus ruled Liston’s death a heroin overdose, although an autopsy showed only minute morphine and codeine levels in Liston’s body; too small for an apparent overdose.

Some, however, believe that the police investigation was a coverup, and the cause of Liston’s death remains unresolved. To wit, Liston supposedly had a phobia regarding needles. After winning the title, Liston at first refused to go on an exhibition tour of Europe when he was told he would have to get shots before he could travel overseas. Liston’s wife also reported that her husband would refuse basic medical care for common colds because of his dislike of needles. This, coupled with the fact that Liston was never known to be a substance abuser (besides heavy drinking), prompted rumors that he could have been murdered by some of his underworld contacts.

Additionally, authorities could not locate any other drug paraphernalia that Liston presumably would have needed to inject the fatal dose, such as a spoon to cook the heroin or an appendage to wrap around his arm. This only added to the mystery surrounding his death.

A friend of Liston’s also told “Unsolved Mysteries” that Liston had been in a car accident a few weeks prior to his death. Liston was hospitalized with minor injuries, and received intravenous medicine. This is believed to be the source of the puncture wound that authorities found upon discovering Liston’s body.

Liston is interred in Paradise Memorial Gardens in Las Vegas, Nevada. His headstone bears the simple epitaph “A Man.”

In popular culture

A feature film about Liston’s life Phantom Punch, starring Ving Rhames was produced in 2008 by Hassain Zaidi, Marek Posival and Ving Rhames.

History

The school was founded in 1978, and in 1993 moved to its present campus in Salwa. The same old building is being used to cater the students to this day. As of the acedemic year 2008-2009, all students in the K.G and Reception levels have been moved to a new building across the road, named “The Sunshine School” or TSK. The name came from what is now called “The British School of Kuwait”; “The Sunshine School” being the original name of the older school building, which only taught young children. The rest of the students in BSK will have to stay in the old building until plans for a third school building are made.

Courses and Study

A full range of examination courses is provided including ‘AS’ and ‘A2′ level courses in the sciences, the humanities, music, art, drama, business studies and economics, computer studies and French. The Sixth-Form numbers 85 and teaching takes place in the “Britania” Sixth form centre.

The curriculum at the British School of Kuwait is designed in accordance with the principles of the British education system and the medium of teaching is English apart from in Arabic, Islamic Studies and French and German language lessons. Due regard is paid to the cultural context of the Middle East and the traditions of the 65 nations from which students come. Most of the English-speaking teachers at BSK are recruited in the United Kingdom and are recognized by the UK Department for Education and Skills.[citation needed] -In other words, they REALLY go out of their way to cover their money-grubbing asses.

At a certain fee the school provides access to a range of ‘British Schools’, these are after school events ranging from chess to yoga , water bottle bags .

Facilitie , imitation bags .

Facilities at the British School of Kuwait include a Computer Centre, about 4 small laboratories, a library, a theatre, and a couple of art and music rooms. Areas for sport activites or events include a swimming pool, two tennis courts, and a basketball court. Although there are a wide range of facilities, the old books, lack of modern equipment, and ageing theatre make these so called facilities difficult to work around, both for students and teachers.

E-Learning

In 2003 the British School of Kuwait underwent a project to encourage (or make it compulsory) for all students from Y3-Y13 to have personal laptop computers.[citation needed] This attempt to improve the quality of learning at BSK has only backfired. The students have become more occupied with playing computer games in school than learning, and the teachers will simply give the student a website to look at and will, in many cases, ignore the students after asking them to use their laptops in class. Rather than improve the standard of learning, the addition of laptops in BSK has served as a distraction for many students and teachers. The only positive outcome for the school would be the masses of profit made through exploiting eager students who wish to learn by selling laptops in school and adding a compulsary fee for a neccesary “configuration” that will allow the students to access the school’s system amongst other things like the internet and online gaming. This fee goes for those who have purchased laptops inside and outside the school. Students who cannot afford to/do not wish to buy a laptop will be given constant “letter(s) of reminder” as a notice to the parents that their son/daughter have not purchased a laptop from the school, or have not configurated a laptop purchased from school, or have purchased a laptop from outside the school and have not configurated it, or have not purchased a laptop or configurated the yet-to-be-purchased laptop from outside or inside the school.

Acedemic year and application

The school year runs from September to June and a summer school is offered during July. All new students are interviewed and are required to take an entrance examination (The school is always happy to suck credit-cards dry, so it really doesn’t matter if prospective students actually manage to fail the ridiculously easy exam, or that they have a criminal record, they’ll still make it in).

Charity Events

In 2007, BSK’s Charity committee announced their support for the Kuwaiti Charity KACCH (Kuwait Association for Children’s Care Hospice) by raising money and having a group of students visit the hospital weekly in order to help entertain and occupy the children. The school has also organised several “charity events” where the aim was to donate as much money as possible. An example of such an event is a “charity walk”, where students have to walk about 15 kilometres under the “sponsorship” of certain students or teachers, who will pay them a certain amout for every kilometre they walk. The resulting money should then be given to teacher hosting the event. This is rarely the case and many students get away with the money that was seemingly going to charity. In the end of the long walk, the students are treated to McDonalds at their own cost.

History

Rugby School was founded in 1567 as a provision in the will of Lawrence Sheriff, who had made his fortune supplying groceries to Queen Elizabeth I of England. It is one of the nine English public schools as defined by the Public Schools Act 1868 and one of a handful of prominent English Public Schools that can be said to have created the ideal of the Victorian gentleman and the importance of public schools as the training ground for service in the Empire in the nineteenth century. The influence of Rugby and its pupils and masters in the nineteenth century was enormous and in many ways the stereotype of the English public school is a reworking of Arnold’s Rugby. Still today it is one of the best known schools in the country and seen as a leading innovator in education (e.g. see its leading role in developing the Cambridge Pre-U).

Rugby School from The Close, the playing field where according to legend the game of rugby was invented

Since Lawrence Sheriff lived in Rugby, the school was intended to be a free grammar school for the boys of that town. Gradually, however, as Rugby’s fame spread it was no longer desirable to have local boys attending and the nature of the school shifted, and so a new school Lawrence Sheriff Grammar School was founded in 1878 to continue Lawrence Sheriff’s original intentions; that school receives a substantial proportion of the endowment income from Lawrence Sheriff’s estate every year.

Rugby School continues to offer a large number of scholarship places for outstanding students from the local community, who come from state (maintained) primary schools in the immediate vicinity of Rugby.[citation needed] The school’s new Arnold Foundation has been established to enable it to offer similar support to children from outside the Rugby area. The core of the school (which contains School House, featured in Tom Brown’s Schooldays) was completed in 1815 and is built around the Old Quad (quadrangle), with its fine and graceful Georgian architecture. Especially notable rooms are the Upper Bench (an intimate space with a book-lined gallery), the Old Hall of School House, and the Old Big School (which makes up one side of the quadrangle, and was once the location for teaching all junior pupils). Thomas Hughes (like his fictional hero, Tom Brown) once carved his name onto the hands of the school clock, situated on a tower above the Old Quad. The polychromatic school chapel, new quadrangle, Temple Reading Room, Macready Theatre and Gymnasium were designed by the well-known Victorian Gothic revival architect William Butterfield in 1875, and the smaller Memorial Chapel was dedicated in 1922 , static bag .

Thomas Arnold

Main article: Thomas Arnold

The school’s most famous headmaster was Dr. Thomas Arnold. Appointed in 1828 he executed many reforms to the school curriculum and administration and was immortalised in Thomas Hughes’ book Tom Brown’s School Days. It was Arnold’s reforms, with their emphasis on sport, ‘fair play’ and the system of allocating responsibility to boys, that led the British Public School system towards the ‘Muscular Christianity’ ethos which drove the British Imperial expansion. Arnold’s Rugby can be said to have created what we think of as the English Public School.

William Webb Ellis plaque

Webb-Ellis at Rugby, 1823

The game of Rugby owes its name to the school. The legend of William Webb Ellis and the origin of the game is commemorated by a plaque. The story has been known to be a myth since it was first investigated by the Old Rugbeian Society (renamed the Rugbeian Society) in 1895. There were no standard rules for football during Webb Ellis’s time at Rugby (18161825) and most varieties involved carrying the ball. The games played at Rugby were organised by the students and not the masters, the rules of the game played at Rugby and elsewhere were a matter of custom and were not written down. They were frequently changed and modified with each new intake of students. The sole source of the story is credited to one Matthew Bloxam (a former student, but not a contemporary of Webb Ellis) in October 1876 (four years after the death of Webb Ellis) in a letter to the school newspaper (The Meteor) whereby he quotes some unknown friend relating the story to him. He elaborated on the story some three years later in another letter to The Meteor, but shed no further light on its source. Richard Lindon is credited for the invention of the “Oval” rugby ball, the rubber inflatable bladder and the brass hand pump. a Boot and Shoemaker had premises immediately across the street from the School’s main entrance in Lawrence Sheriff Street. No doubt the boys of Rugby School had significant input into their required design.

It is also fair to say that cross country running began at Rugby School. The Crick Run was the first such event of its type in the world, and is still a major annual event in the School’s calendar.

Rugby School has both day and boarding-pupils, the latter in the majority. Originally it was for boys only, but girls have been admitted to the sixth form since 1975. It went fully co-educational in 1995.

Matthew Arnold’s father Thomas Arnold, was a headmaster of the school.

The Rugbeian Society

The Rugbeian Society is for former pupils at the School. An Old Rugbeian is sometimes referred to as an OR.

The purposes of the Society are to encourage and help Rugbeians in interacting with each other and to strengthen the ties between ORs and the School.

Rugby School slang

In common with most English public schools, Rugby has its own argot, a few words of which are listed below. Also, the Oxford “-er” abbreviation (e.g. Johnners, rugger, footer etc), prevalent at Oxford University from about 1875, is thought to have been borrowed from the slang of Rugby School. However, much of the slang below is now obsolete as marked.

Club career

Early career

He was given his first-team debut in a UEFA Cup tie against Palermo on 2 November 2006, when he appeared as a late substitute and became the youngest ever player to represent Newcastle in Europe at the age of 17 years and 300 days.

He made his debut in the FA Cup in the home defeat to Birmingham City, appearing as substitute for the last 10 minutes.

On 25 February 2007, Carroll made his Premier League debut for Newcastle, coming on as a substitute in the 87th minute in the 10 defeat to Wigan Athletic, almost scoring in the process, only a good save from Wigan goalkeeper John Filan prevented him from scoring his first goal in a Newcastle shirt.

In 2007, he won the ‘Wor Jackie Milburn Trophy’, given each year to the rising star of north-east football.

On 29 July, Carroll scored his first senior goal in a 2-0 friendly win over Juventus, with a left foot shot. After the match, Carroll received praise from legendary Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, who tipped Carroll to have a big future.

Loan period at Preston

On 14 August, Carroll signed a six month loan deal with Preston North End and made his debut for them in the League Cup against Morecambe on the same day.

Carroll was sent off playing for Preston against Scunthorpe United on 19 September. He finally scored his first Championship goal, and his first English league goal for Preston in the game against Leicester City on 6 November. He returned to Newcastle in January after a rather unsuccessful time.

After spending the rest of the season in the reserves and on the bench for Newcastle, Carroll was linked with recently relegated Derby County on 11 June 2008 , leather mens bag .

On 14 September, Carroll was arrested by police called to the Pudding Chare in Newcastle responding to a report that a woman had been assaulted, and later accepted a police caution for assault. He then made his first appearance for Newcastle in the 200809 season on 20 October, coming on as a substitute for Shola Ameobi at home to Manchester City. He also featured in Newcastle’s 21 Boxing Day defeat to Wigan, being brought down late in the game to win a penalty from which Danny Guthrie scored and later being booked for diving after going down from another challenge in stoppage time. Carroll scored his first competitive goal for Newcastle on his first ever home start with a header against West Ham United as part of a 22 draw on 10 January 2009. He got into trouble with Newcastle manager Joe Kinnear when he got into a training ground fight with French teammate Charles N’Zogbia over a late tackle on Carrol’s counterpart. Kinnear decided not to punish the two saying “It was just handbags, and it’s been blown out of all proportion,” and “I can’t stop players being passionate, and wouldn’t want to. I won’t be taking any action”.

On 12 March it was announced that Carroll had signed a new three and a half year contract, keeping him with Newcastle until 2013, this coincided with his first call up to the England under-20 team. Carroll scored a crucial equaliser in Newcastle’s 1-1 draw with Stoke in April 2009. This goal wasn’t enough and Newcastle were relegated on the final day of the season, Sunday 24th May 2009. This marked a return to the second tier of english football after a 16-year stay.

International career

On 11 September 2007, Carroll made his England under 19 debut against Belarus, scoring in the 40 victory. Carroll, along with Scott Sinclair & Ryan Bertrand, was sent home after breaking curfew on 14 October during preparation for a match against Romania.

Carroll received his first call up to the England under-21 team on 5 August 2009.

Richard Bulger and Chris Nelson started the magazine in 1987 as a photo-copied flyer, published from their apartment. Bear grew, over the course of years, into an internationally distributed glossy magazine, which featured erotic photographs of masculine, mature men, and erotic stories. There was also a classified personals section which, before the emergence of the internet, was one of the few ways for bears to find compatible romantic and sexual partners, and to network with like-minded men. Bulger and Nelson first established Creative Options Associates (COA) to publish the magazine. In 1991, COA became Brush Creek Media Inc., named for Brush Creek, California, the town where their vacation cabin was located. Brush Creek Media obtained a registered trademark for Bear Magazine in 1992, as simply “magazines for men.”

The company’s various publications, as well as clothing and lifestyle products, were originally displayed and sold at the “Bear Magazine office-store” above a 1908 former fire-house at the corner of 16th and Albion Streets in San Francisco. In 1994 Brush Creek Media moved to the “The Bear Store”, at 367 9th Street in the South-of-Market district which is the center of San Francisco’s historical gay leather district. Rick Redewill’s Lone Star Saloon relocated less than a block away after losing its Mission Street location to the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, eventually becoming the quintessential bear bar which, with “The Bear Store” and nearby bars, shops and hotels catering to the bear communities formed a bear circuit for events like the annual international bear events, Folsom Street Fair and similar events that attracted tourists.

Beardog Hoffman purchased Brush Creek Media Inc. in 1994 and began expanding the company into several special-interest gay magazines and video series. In 2002 Brush Creek Media closed its doors when the IRS seized its inventory.Bear Magazine was one of the casualties and publication ceased after issue #64.

In 2006, The Bear Magazine trademark was judicially assigned and registered to Butch Media Ltd of Las Vegas, Nevada, a creditor of Brush Creek Media. Similarly, in 2007 the court assigned Bear Magazine and the Brush Creek Media copyrights to Butch Media Ltd. Bear Omnimedia LLC, the parent company of Butch Media Ltd, re-launched Bear Magazine starting with issue #65, published in August 2008. Bear Omnimedia also offers erotic DVDs under the BEAR brand and is re-releasing on DVD some of the older VHS titles originally published by Brush Creek Media. Inc.

Overview

Ceanothus arboreus illustrating the three parallel leaf veins characteristic of plants in this genus

The majority of the species are evergreen, but the handful of species adapted to cold winters are deciduous. The leaves are opposite or alternate (depending on species), small (typically 15 cm long), simple, and mostly with serrated margins.

Ceanothus species are easily identified by their unique leaf-vein structure shared by all plants within this genus. The leaves have three very prominent parallel veins extending from the leaf base to the outer margins of the leaf tips and the leaves are ovate in shape. The leaves have a shiny upper surface that feels “gummy” when pinched between the thumb and forefinger, and the roots of most species have red inner root bark.

The flowers are white, greenish-white, blue, pale purple or pink, maturing into a dry, three-lobed seed capsule , scissors lifts .

The flowers are tiny and produced in large, dense clusters that are reported to be intensely fragant almost to the point of being nauseating, and are said to resemble the odor of “boiling honey in an enclosed area”. The seeds of this plant can lie dormant for hundreds of years, and Ceanothus species are typically dependent on forest fires to trigger germination of its seeds.

Ecology

Several members of this genus, including Ceanothus americanus, form a symbiotic relationship with soil micro-organisms, forming root nodules which fix atmospheric nitrogen. This nitrogen is available to other adjacent plants, and may play an important role in forest regeneration as it creates nutrient-rich patches in forest habitats.

Ceanothus species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including the bucculatricid leaf-miners Bucculatrix anaticula and Bucculatrix ceanothiella and the gelechiid Chionodes ceanothiella which all feed exclusively on the genus. Chionodes occidentella is a polyphagous species which has been recorded on Ceanothus. Ceanothus is also a good source of nutrition for deer, specifically mule deer on the west coast. However, the leaves are not as nutritious from late spring to early fall as they are in early spring. Porcupines and quail have also been seen eating stems and seeds of these shrubs. The leaves are a good source of protein and the stems and leaves have been found to contain a high amount of calcium.

Distribution

Ceanothus americanus (fruit left, flowers right)

Plants in this genus are widely distributed and can be found on dry, sunny hillsides from coastal scrub lands to open forest clearings up to 9,000 feet. These plants are profusely distributed throughout the Rocky Mountains from British Columbia south through Colorado, the Cascades of Oregon and California, and the Coastal Ranges of California.

Ceanothus velutinus is the most common member of this genus and is widespread throughout North America.

Uses

Flowers of Ceanothus cuneatus, at Pinnacles National Monument, California

Many species are popular garden ornamental plants, and dozens of hybrids and cultivars have been selected, such as Flexible Ceanothus, Ceanothus flexilis Greene ex McMinn (C. cuneatus C. prostratus).

Ceanothus velutinus was known as “red root” by many Native American tribes due to the color of the inner root bark, and was used as a medicine for treating lymphatic disorders, ovarian cysts, fibroid tumors, and tonsillitis. Clinical studies of the alkaloid compounds in Ceanothus velutinus has verified its effectiveness in treating high blood pressure and lymphatic blockages.

Native Americans used the dried leaves of this plant as a herbal tea, and early pioneers used the plant as a substitute for black tea. Miwok Indians of California made baskets from Ceanothus branches. C. integerrimus has been used by North American tribes to ease childbirth. Ceanothus velutinus has been demonstrated to be very effective in relieving inflammation and irritation from infections of the mouth and throat.

Propagation

Propagation of Ceanothus is by seed, following scarification and stratification. Seeds are soaked in water for 12 hours followed by chilling at 1 C for one to three months. It can also sprout from roots and/or stems. Seeds are stored in duff in large quantities. It is estimated that there are about two million seeds per acre in forest habitats. Seed are dispersed propulsively from capsules and, it has been estimated, can remain viable for hundreds of years. In habitat, the seeds of plants in this genus only germinate in response to range fires and forest fires.

Names

California Lilac (Ceanothus integerrimus) in Yosemite, 2005

The Californian species are sometimes known as California Lilac, but not surprisingly, the species found elsewhere have other common names, such as New Jersey Tea for C. americanus (as its leaves were used as a black tea substitute during colonial times). In garden use, most are simply called by their scientific names or an adaptation of the scientific name, such as Maritime Ceanothus for C. maritimus.

“Ceanothus” (four syllables, accented on the “o”) was the name of a spiny Old World plant whose identity is now obscure.

Loose socks in Japan

Loose socks (, rzu sokkusu?) are a type of sock that was popular among Japanese high school girls. They originated from boot socks for mountain climbing, manufactured in and exported from the United States.

In Japan, they were adopted as a fashion that deviated from school uniforms and firmly took root after a long period of popularity. They were first worn by high school girls and later by junior high school girls who sought to emulate the look of the older female students, but are generally not worn by young adults and older women.

Method

The socks originally imported to Japan were not loose at all but were thick and voluminous. For those who wanted to wear them loosely, these socks were stretched out by the owners before the popularity and mass production of loose socks.

They are nearly always white, though black and navy blue ones also exist. Generally, they are larger than normal socks. To wear them, one stretches them out and puts them on. They are usually worn below the knee, held up with an adhesive called sock glue and sock touch (the latter a registered trademark of Hakugen), and somewhat resemble leg warmers, with the difference being that leg warmers do not go below the ankles. Loose socks are often paired with skirts above the knee and a pair of mary janes or loafers.

Birth and establishment

At the beginning of the 1990s, it became fashionable for Japanese high school girls to shorten their skirts. In the mid-90s, they wore imported mountain-climbing boot socks to accent their exposed legs (maybe to hide their legs due to low self-esteem, or perhaps just as a countermeasure against the cold). These socks were manufactured by such sock makers as America’s E.G. Smith. It is not known if there was a time when loose socks were called “boot socks”, but they quickly became referred to as “loose socks” and, together with miniskirts, became an established fashion.

The two most well-known views are that the fashion originated in Sendai, Miyagi or in Mito, Ibaraki. In both stories, to protect against the cold, girls bought, loosened, and wore large socks. It is said that they became popular because they made fat legs look thin. After that, the socks became established merchandise and spread to major cities such as Tokyo and Osaka, and then throughout the whole country. They rapidly gained popularity, chiefly with high school girls.

The height of loose socks’ popularity was from 1996 to 1998. Furthermore, in that period varieties such as “super loose” and “gom nuki loose” (loose socks with the elastic removed) were born. There were even socks two meters long. These were mainly worn by the yamamba gal subculture. Some schools forbade pupils to wear loose socks at school, so girls would often change into loose socks and wear them outside the school campus. This sort of trend was picked up on by the mass media, which brought attention to loose socks as emblematic items of high school girl culture , low cut socks .

After 1998, the fad slowly began to die out. Since about 2000, regular navy blue knee socks have been comparatively spreading. The wearing of loose socks, however, is still prevalent[citation needed] among high school students, especially in more urbanized parts of Japan (i.e. Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka) , childrens socks .

Bamboo And Wicker Basket ,



Historical usage

Wood, bamboo, wheat, other grasses, rushes, twigs, osiers, flax, or wicker are often used to make baskets. These items can also be made from plastic. The first baskets were woven by gatherers to collect fruits, grains, nuts, and other edible plant materials, as well as for holding fish by early fishing humans. A creel is a basket made to hold fish.

The plant life available in a region affects the choice of material, which in turn influences the weaving technique. Rattan and other members of the Arecaceae or palm tree family, the thin grasses of temperate regions, and broad-leaved tropical bromeliads each require a different method of twisting and braiding to be made into a basket.

Although baskets were traditionally created to serve a utilitarian rather than an aesthetic purpose, the practice of basket making has evolved into an art. Artistic freedom allows basket makers a wide choice of colors, materials, sizes, patterns, and details.

Wikimedia Commons has media related to: Basket

Archaeological sites in the Middle East show that weaving techniques were used to make mats and possibly also baskets, circa 8 000 BC[citation needed]. Baskets made with several interwoven techniques were common at 3 000 BC.

The carrying of a basket on the head, particularly by rural women, has long been practiced. Representations of this in Ancient Greek art are called Canephorae.

Overturned woven baskets are used drummed by the Tohono O’odham to accompany songs (Zepeda 1995, p.89).

Modern usage

Easter baskets are used to collect or hold treats for Easter. These baskets are normally made of plastic (not woven) and have a weave-like pattern imprinted.

Gift baskets are used to present items such as fruit, wine, and flowers. Some baskets are used to cradle bottles of wine to assist pouring.

Baskets made out of crystal glass are manufactured both for decorative and utility purposes , small wicker baskets .

Hot air balloons are equipped with baskets for carrying the operator and passengers , baby easter basket .

Baskets are also used in dishwashers.

A dishwasher basket.

Figurative and literary usage

The phrase “to hell in a handbasket” means to rapidly deteriorate. The origin of this use is unclear.

Geometric interlacing patterns are a subcategory of Islamic pattern and ornament. They can be considered a particular type of arabesque. One of the first Western studies of the subject was E. H. Hankin’s “The Drawing of Geometric Patterns in Saracenic Art”, published in Memoirs of the Archaeological Societry of India in 1925.

According to Eva Baer, in her book Islamic Ornament:

….the intricate interlacings common in later medieval Islamic art, are already prefigured in Umayyad architecture revetments: in floor mosaics, window grilles, stone and stucco carvings and wall paintings(Khirbat al-Mafjar, Qusayr’Amra, Qasr al-Hayr al-Gharbi etc.), and in the decoration of a whole group of early east Iranian, eighth- to tenth-century metal objects.

Examples of geometric interlacing can also be found in Arabic calligraphy, particularly designs made in in the Square Kufic style.

Owen Jones, in his catalog for the Crystal Palace exhibition, wrote about the decorative art found in Alhambra, where much of the art work consists of interwoven designs, that:

The grace and refinement of Greek ornament is here surpassed. Possessing, equally with the Greeks, an appreciation of pure form, the Moors exceeded them in variety and imagination.

E. H. Hankin, in his book The Drawing of Geometric Patterns in Saracenic Art, takes the view that the artists who created these designs used a method based on the use of the compass and the straight edge. This view is supported by the majority of contemporary authorities on the subject, such as Keith Critchlow in his book, Islamic Patterns: An Analytical and Cosmological Approach. This explains how ornamented objects as varied in size as a book or a mosque, were treated by artists using the same geometric methods adopted to the size and nature of the object being ornamented.

On the other hand Owen Jones, in The Grammar of Ornament, describes a method whereby this type of interlace ornament is, instead, designed based on a foundation of geometric grids, with the same foundational grids re-drawn to the size of the object. , rose quartz crystals .
