“Leadership is the art of giving people a platform for spreading ideas that work.”̶

"Great leadership is about human experiences. It's not a formula or a program, it is a human activity that comes from the heart and considers the hearts of others. It is an attitude, not a routine."

"All of the great leaders have had one characteristic in common: It was the willingness to confront unequivocally the major anxiety of their people in their time. This, and not much else, is the essence of leadership."

Not all charities are created equally–every one benefits a different cause in a different way, giving a different percentage to programs at different times of the year. Here are a few of my favorite Orange County, California-based charities.

There are some pretty wild salon names out there. So we decided to put together a list of some of the wildest, most unusual salon names from around the world.
1°Briófitas
2° Briófitas
(Do gergo bryon: 'musgo'; e phyton: 'planta')
Pertencem ao reino Plantae e, desta forma, são eucariontes, fotossintetizantes e multicelulares. Estes organismos não possuem vasos condutores de seiva, nem estruturas rígidas de sustentação, justificando seu pequeno porte. Assim, o transporte de substâncias se dá por difusão e ocorre de forma lenta.
3° O corpo do musgo é formado basicamente de três partes ou estruturas:
Rizóides - filamentos que fixam a planta no ambiente em que ela vive e absorvem a água e os sais minerais disponíveis nesse ambiente;
Caulóide - pequena haste de onde partem os filóides;
Filóides-estruturas clorofiladas e capazes de fazer fotossíntese.
5° Estrutura das briófitas: Essas estruturas são chamadas de rizóides, caulóides e filóides porque não têm a mesma organização de raízes, caules e folhas dos demais grupos de plantas (a partir dos pteridófitos). Faltam-lhes, por exemplo, vasos condutores especializados no transporte de nutrientes, como a água. Na organização das raízes, caules e folhas verdadeiras verificam-se a presença de vasos condutores de nutrientes.
6°Devido a ausência de vasos condutores de nutrientes, a água absorvida do ambiente e é transportada nessas plantas de célula para célula, ao longo do corpo do vegetal. Esse tipo de transporte é relativamente lento e limita o desenvolvimento de plantas de grande porte. Assim, as briófitas são sempre pequenas, baixas
7° Raciocínio:
Se uma planta terrestre de grande porte não possuísse vasos condutores, a água demoraria muito para chegar até as folhas. Nesse caso, especialmente nos dias quentes - quando as folhas geralmente transpiram muito e perdem grande quantidade de água para o meio ambiente -, elas ficariam desidratadas (secariam) e a planta morreria. Assim, toda a planta alta possui vasos condutores.
8°Mas nem todas as plantas que possuem vasos condutores são altas; o capim, por exemplo, possui vasos condutores e possui pequeno porte. Entretanto, uma coisa é certa: se a planta terrestre não apresenta vasos condutores, ela terá pequeno porte e viverá em ambientes preferencialmente úmidos e sombreados.
Musgos e hepáticas são os principais representantes das briófitas. O nome hepáticas vem do grego hepathos, que significa 'fígado'; essas plantas são assim chamadas porque o corpo delas lembra a forma de um fígado.
Os musgos são plantas eretas; as hepáticas crescem "deitadas" no solo. Algumas briófitas vivem em água doce, mas não se conhece nenhuma espécie marinha.
9°Reprodução das briófitas: Os musgos verdes que vemos num solo úmido, por exemplo, são plantas sexuadas que representam a fase chamada gametófito, isto é, a fase produtora de gametas.
Nas briófitas, os gametófitos em geral têm sexos separados. Em certas épocas, os gametófitos produzem uma pequena estrutura, geralmente na região apical - onde terminam os fi
