This document introduces several invasive plant species that threaten Cape Breton, with a focus on Angelica. It describes Angelica's characteristics like rapid spreading and ability to outcompete native plants. The direct threats from Angelica are detailed, such as damage to land and landscapes. Techniques for removing Angelica are provided, emphasizing the need to remove all seeds and flowers, and continue persistent removal efforts annually to control the spread. Other invasive plants that harm wetlands, forests and livestock are also briefly described.

A Little Less Litter, Please, Cape Breton!Mb Whitcomb
A simple campaign based on the fact that litter begets litter. If we are above picking up a couple of pieces a day, we are part of the problem, as leaving it invites people to toss more. Also covers cigarette butt toxicity and the magnitude of litter pollution.
2014 08 14 Barbarous Barberry Invasive Plants Series Pt. 2Mb Whitcomb
Japanese Barberry (Berberis thunbergii) is an invasive plant in Cape Breton Nova Scotia. It has also been associated with Lyme disease, forest regrowth suppression, erosion, and more. We recommend removing it and not planting it on this Island as we do not have the population to remove invasive plants once they get loose. Invasive plants are pollution that reproduces on its own. NOTE: Lyme has now been CONFIRMED on Cape Breton Island.
Imagine a world in which your career, the careers of your friends and coworkers, and the businesses and industries built on PHP vanished overnight, or never existed at all. No Facebook. No Wordpress. Billions of dollars in online commerce, all gone. Flickr, Tumblr, MailChimp: poof!
This talk presents a dystopian world in which we are stuck updating each other via SMS or (gasp!) MySpace, reading content on corporate portals, and buying everything from just a handful of online marketplaces.
While there is a multitude of beautiful flowers that you can choose from, obviously some are better than others.
The zinnia flower is an annual that blooms very quickly and is incredibly easy to maintain. To grow well, Zinnia doesn’t need any extravagant preparation or materials. It requires full, undulating sunlight, warmth and moist, well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter.
@ truly adds more life to an environment.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. invasiveplantscapebreton
Characteristics
Deceptively beautiful
Few or no natural predators
Short generation time (allows them to adapt)
Huge number of easily spread seeds
Live in many kinds of light, soil, moisture
Often have more than one way to reproduce
Taller than/shade out native plants
Revealing names
14. invasiveplantscapebreton
Priorities
Avoid politics/blame
Educate each other
Work with your neighbor
Prevent new infection
research plants before buying
inspect fill dirt before accepting
avoid contaminating new areas
Get moving (great exercise)
Unspoiled areas with high numbers of natives
Colonizer plants: then from outside in to larger
infections
Streams, lakesides, wetlands, roadsides, very
windy areas
17. invasiveplantscapebreton
Techniques (Angelica only)
Appropriate clothes/gloves/eye
protection
A small number of people may react
work when overcast
shower afterwards
Work 48-72 hours after a good rain
Try to pull the whole plant
At least remove all seeds/flowers
every year…timing is everything.
Don’t leave flowers and immature
seeds on stems
Cut rest of plant to flat to the ground
Suffocate seedlings or let them
compete with each other.
19. Pollinated seeds need
the plant’s energy
To mature, so cut the stem
and leaves off.
Soft blooms are
not yet fertile and
the plant may be
Pulled or cut down.
invasiveplantscapebreton
20. Bag mature seeds
and burn, do NOT
send to the landfill.
Seedlings: let them compete
with each other. Pull the
survivors or at least keep
the plant from seeding.
Mowing stimulates
re-flowering. Pull,
dig, or cut plant to
the ground.
