buning owls
Owls belong to the order Strigiformes, constituting 200 extant bird of prey species. Most are solitary and nocturnal, with some exceptionsOwls hunt mostly small mammals, insects, and other birds, although a few species specialize in hunting fish. They are found in all regions of the Earth except Antarctica, most of Greenland and some remote islands. Though owls are typically solitary, the literary collective noun for a group of owls is a parliament. Living owls are divided into two families: the typical owls, Strigidae; and the barn-owls, Tytonidae.
strike and protest
Strike action, also called labour strike, on strike, greve or simply strike, is a work stoppage caused by the mass refusal of employees to work. A strike usually takes place in response to employee grievances. Strikes became important during the industrial revolution, when mass labour became important in factories and mines.
A protest is an expression of objection, by words or by actions, to particular events, policies or situations. Protests can take many different forms, from individual statements to mass demonstrations. Protesters may organize a protest as a way of publicly making their opinions heard in an attempt to influence public opinion or government policy, or they may undertake direct action in an attempt to directly enact desired changes themselves. Where protests are part of a systematic and peaceful campaign to achieve a particular objective, and involve the use of pressure as well as persuasion, they go beyond mere protest and may be better described as cases of civil resistance or nonviolent resistance.

An adverb can modify a verb, an adjective, another adverb, a phrase, or a clause. An adverb indicates manner, time, place, cause, or degree and answers questions such as "how," "when," "where," "how much..
While some adverbs can be identified by their characteristic "ly" suffix, most of them must be identified by untangling the grammatical relationships within the sentence or clause as a whole.
Rule: Adverbs can also modify an adjective. In this case, the adverb is placed before the adjective.
Example: She is extremely happy. They are absolutely sure.
Be Careful!
Do not use 'very' with adjectives that express an increased quality of a basic adjective Example: good - fantastic .
1.The seamstress quickly made the mourning clothes. 2.The midwives waited patiently through a long labour. 3.The boldly spoken words would return to haunt the rebel. 4.We urged him to dial the number more expeditiously. 5.Unfortunately, the bank closed at three today. 6.She completely rejected his proposal

the secret garden
The Secret Garden is a novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett. It was initially published in serial format starting in autumn 1910; the book was first published in its entirety in 1911.
Its working title was Mistress Mary, in reference to the English nursery rhyme Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary. It is now one of Burnett's most popular novels, and is considered to be a classic of children's literature.
The garden is the book's central symbol. The secret garden at Misselthwaite Manor is the site of both the near-destruction and the subsequent regeneration of a family. Using the garden motif, Burnett explores the healing power inherent in living things.
Maytham Hall in Kent, England, where Burnett lived for a number of years during her marriage is often cited as the inspiration for the book's setting. Burnett kept an extensive garden, including an impressive rose garden. However, it has been noted that besides the garden, Maytham Hall and Misselthwaite Manor are physically very different.

THE BLUEBELLS
One of the great features we have in our area ,which is in The Chilterns on the Oxfordshire/Buckinghamshire border of England are the massive displays of bluebells which can be seen around Wendover Woods and Christmas Common and many other woods around here of course although those two areas have the best showing we have come across.
Wild pansy is an annual perennial herb. Wild pansy has many forms. In general the foliage of wild pansy is much more cut up and the stem is more branched than other species. The leaves of wild pansy are deeply cut into rounded lobes.

what is Symbiosis ???
s close and often long-term interactions between different biological species In 1877 Bennett used the word symbiosis (which previously had been used of people living together in community) to describe the mutualistic relationship in lichens. In 1879 by the german mycologist anton de bary, defined it as "the living together of unlike organisms.
ome symbiotic relationships are obligate, meaning that both symbionts entirely depend on each other for survival. For example, many linchens consist of fungal and photosynthetic symbionts that cannot live on their own.
Others are facultative, meaning that they can but do not have to live with the other organism.
Symbiotic relationships include those associations in which one organism lives on another ,or where one partner lives inside the other endosymbiosis, such as lactobacilli and other bacteria in humans or zooxanthelles in corals
Mutualism is any relationship between individuals of different species where both individuals derive a benefit. Generally, only lifelong interactions involving close physical and biochemicalbiologists restrict the definition of symbiosis to close mutualist relationships. contact can properly be considered symbiotic. Mutualistic relationships may be either obligate for both species, obligate for one but facultative for the other, or facultative for both. Many
commensalism |
Amensalism
Amensalism is the type of symbiotic relationship that exists where one species is inhibited or completely obliterated and one is unaffected. This type of symbiosis is relatively uncommon in rudimentary reference texts, but is omnipresent in the natural world. An example is a sapling growing under the shadow of a mature tree. The mature tree can begin to rob the sapling of necessary sunlight and, if the mature tree is very large, it can take up rainwater and deplete soil nutrients

animal kigdom and symbiosis
Animal name | habit | Whathe eat | How many years live | size |
White Tiger | In the jungle | He eat meat | Messured between 60 and100 cm | |
tortle | beach | plants | 175 years | 80cm |
while | In the ocean | fishes | 200 years | 7 mts |
cat | In home | Animal fodder | He have 7 lives | 30 cm |
dog | In home | Animal fodder | 10 years | 50 cm |
A typical example of symbiosis of "behavior" is the relationship between sea anemone and the hermit crab, crab "offers" shift anemone and it offers protection with its poisonous tentacles. Another example is that of Luther goby, a fish and blind shrimp. The shrimp digs a burrow with its strong legs and allows the fish the deal too. Instead, it acts as a seeing-eye, leading the shrimp in search of food. Shrimp with their antennae touching the fish's tail and it moves when it senses danger: in this case, the two retire to the den. It is also important as the mycorrhizal symbiotic association.

Techiques and tools for soap carving
What You’ll Need to Begin
Soap carving can be simple and inexpensive. You’ll need:
• A large bar of Ivory soap – Ivory's shape and texture are ideal for carving
• A paring knife
• 1-2 orangewood sticks used for manicures
• Pencil and paper for sketching
• Optional – Large tray to hold soap chips from carving
Unwrap the soap and let it dry for a day. Scrape off the lettering and any raised edges before beginning.
1. Developing Your Design
Begin with a simple design. Start with solid, basic shapes with simple cuts or extensions. Sketch your idea on paper first or try one of these sample patterns.
2. From Design to Soap Carving
• If you have a clear mental picture of your idea or have carved before, you can begin by carving directly on the soap.
• Or, you can use the orangewood stick to outline a rough sketch on each surface before you carve.
3. Begin with Rough Cuts
The actual carvings begin with rough cuts that remove the large parts of the soap not necessary for your design.
• Place the soap on the table or tray.
4. Adding the Details
• After the first cuts, you may find it more comfortable to use the knife as if peeling a potato.
5. Polishing
• Allow your sculpture to dry for a day or two.
• Then, rub it with a soft paper napkin, being careful not to break off corners or high points
