![]() ![]() Benar saja, seekor kupu2 dari keluarga Nymphalidae, yg punya ciri yg sngat khas, yaitu hanya punya 2 pasang tungkai (kaki). Pagi ini seekor kupu2 besar, coklat, dan cantik, bergerak2 di dalam toples tempat kami memeliharanya. Tak sampai sehari sejak kami temukan, dia sudah menjadi kepompong. Sekali lagi, ini pikiran seorang amatir, yg pengamatannya masih sangat terbatas.□ Ah, drpd penasaran mending kubawa pulang sajalah. Tapi kalau dilihat dari bulu2nya yg lebat, kok seperti ulat bakal ngengat ya. ![]() Kalau dilihat dari cara ngepompognya sih bakal kupu2. Apakah bakal ngengat atau kupu2 pun aku masih ragu. Maka, aku juga tak yakin ini ulat apa dari golongan apa. Tentu pengamatanku masih sangat terbatas. Kalau dalam pengamatanku, ulat2 yg membentuk J shape ini, ulat2 dari family Nymphalidae. Badannya menggantung, bertumpu pada 2 kaki belakangnya, membentuk huruf J. Saat menemukannya, dia sedang menuju fase pupa. Menemukan ulat ini saat nature walk ke area persawahan.

The apartment that Nicole Kidman finds towards the end of the series is indeed in Monterey on Surf Ave. I do believe that some shots were done at Nepenthe in Big Sur, where Jane speaks with Ziggy's teacher.Īlso at Lover's Point is a scene on Ocean View Blvd, taken on the Recreational Trail and looking up Fountain Ave, where you can see the world famous, Seven Gables Inn, You can see the Lover's Point Inn in the that shot, which is on the street where I live (Mermaid Ave, at the corner of Ocean View Blvd.) Lover's Point Beach, Lover's Point park, where Jane talked to Celeste and told her that her son was the bully. The stretch of coastline in Pacific Grove from the Monterey Bay Aquarium to just past Lover's Point is Ocean View Boulevard is the setting for many scenes shot in the series, especially with Jane and her son, Ziggy. All the other seaside homes of the characters are not actually in the Monterey area. ![]() The house that Nicole Kidman (Celeste) lived in is on Yankee Point Road in Carmel Highlands. ![]() I have gone looking for many of the locations, although several scenes were shot on the corner of the street I live on, at Lover's Point.

The treatment seemed to provide rapid relief of symptoms that may last up to 1 year, but at a considerably higher cost than the at-home treatments. Thus, well-controlled, long-term efficacy studies are warranted to draw clear conclusions. While the studies found a single in-office thermal treatment to be safe and effective in improving short-term signs and symptoms in patients with dry eye, long-term efficacy needs to be further evaluated. We critically evaluated the efficacy and safety of LipiFlow, iLux, and TearCare based on existing literature. In-office thermal systems offer a second line of treatment and could be a much-needed addition for patients who do not respond to conventional treatment. With self-treatments, however, not all patients achieve lasting improvement, and compliance is often low. Treatment of meibomian gland dysfunction can utilize heat and pressure applied to the meibomian glands, increasing meibum expression. ![]() Meibomian gland dysfunction, a major cause of dry eye, is characterized by chronic glandular inflammation, thickening of the meibum, obstruction of terminal ducts, and glandular atrophy. Dry eye disease affects millions of people worldwide, causing pain, vision disturbance, and reduced productivity. ![]() ![]() ![]() After a brief spell in prison he is hanged by the neck, but not killed.

As is now traditional with The Mob's Discworld adaptations, several fans were invited to appear as extras. It was announced as part of an investment of at least £10 million into adaptations of novels, including Chris Ryan's Strike Back and Skellig by David Almond. ![]() It is the third in a series of adaptations, following Terry Pratchett's Hogfather and Terry Pratchett's The Colour of Magic.

And here is a shout out to Neil Patrick Harris who narrated them all. ![]() There is something totally timeless about the way Beverly Cleary touches so perfectly on the behaviors and feelings and behavioral strategies of elementary school-aged kids. Our kids read them a generation ago, and now our grandchildren are listening to them. These were originally published in the 1950's I think-and believe me when I say-they have lost none of their charm since then. There is also a lot of interaction with Beezus and Ramona Quinby (from the "Ramona the Pest" series). The kids never uttered a whimper of protest or "when are we going to get there?" during a fairly long car trip because they were just fascinated by the various adventures of Henry Huggins and his dog Ribsy. ![]() ![]() My husband and I found them as charming as our grandsons did. They were all wonderful! I'm so used to serious lit and adult mysteries, that it was a pleasant surprise and change of pace to listen to these. But we are just back from a vacation with our 5 & 7 year old grandkids-and we listened to this book, as well as "Henry & Beezus" and "Henry & the Clubhouse". ![]() ![]() The Columbia professor has two Guggenheims and a MacArthur, for heck’s sake! A devoted wife. “He was tugging at his bowtie, like a horse struggling with his bit.” As Spence ransacks his jacket for the invitation, “his pockets hung at his sides, like donkey ears.”Īt 57, Spence is too young, too anointed to accept this sentence.

Pru Steiner is barely 50 when her husband, renown Shakespeare scholar Spence Robin, begins to exhibit symptoms. A propulsive, literary page-turner about a family beset by early onset Alzheimer’s? If that sounds like an oxymoron then you have not encountered the heart, scalpel, and unassuming genius of Joshua Henkin whose new novel, Morningside Heights is not only a study in craft, but a testament to the resiliency of the human spirit. ![]() ![]() Killing for Culture : Death on Film and the Enigma of Snuff book download David Kerekes and David Slater Download Killing for Culture: Death on Film and the Enigma of Snuff V for Vendetta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

William James Durant ( / drnt / Novem November 7, 1981) was an American historian and philosopher, best known for his 11-volume work, The Story of Civilization, which contains and details the history of eastern and western civilizations. Here Durant tells the whole story of Greece, from the days of Crete's vast Aegean empire to the final extirpation of the last remnants of Greek liberty, crushed under the heel of an implacably forward-marching Rome. The second volume of Will Durant's Pulitzer Prize–winning series, The Life of Greece: The Story of Civilization, Volume 2 chronicles the history of ancient Greek civilization. ![]() ![]() ![]() Oh, we’ve seen you walking with Arturo, said Bambi knowingly. I don’t have a boyfriend, she said softly. Why couldn’t Bambi Quilp just leave her alone? Why couldn’t everyone just leave her alone? Juliet Dove felt her cheeks begin to burn. I think if I had been reading it, I would have put it down before I got to the good part, I am sorry to say. ![]() The full-cast recording is nice, although one of the rats has a very annoying high-pitched voice. I was nonplussed by this book until I got about halfway through and discovered that the plot had a lot to do with gods and goddesses. With the help of a couple of enchanted rats, Juliet must break the spell that the necklace has put on her. Juliet discovers that the locket she's been given was previously owned by Helen of Troy, there's some powerful magic at work in it, and she can't take it off. Then she notices all the boys at school seem suddenly smitten with her. First, her best friend Arturo seems to be paying more attention to her looks and he's saying strange things to her. ![]() ![]() But when she puts it on, she discovers something strange happening. When the lady at the shop gives it to her, Juliet is surprised, but pleased. One day when running away from two girls at school, Juliet finds herself at the Magic Shop and she's drawn to a beautiful amulet. So shy, in fact, that she uses sharp words to keep others from paying attention to her (which is how she's earned the nickname "Killer"). Although no one at school would believe it, she's painfully shy. ![]() |
