Middle earth map silmarillion12/19/2023 ![]() ![]() Other groups, mainly of Telerin origin, had also left the Journey: these were the people who were to become known as the Silvan Elves. Many of these departed Middle-earth across the Sea, but some remained, of which the major groups were the Sindar of Beleriand and the Nandor of the Anduin valley. ![]() Led by Oromë, the Vanyar, Noldor and Teleri made the Great Journey westward across Middle-earth from the far east where they had awakened. After much debate, the Valar also offered the Elves a home in Aman, and many accepted. Melkor was ultimately defeated, and taken as a prisoner back to Valinor. Dorthonion and the highlands north of Beleriand were raised up at that time, and many bays, including the Bay of Balar, were created. ![]() That war rent and twisted the lands, giving them the shape they were to keep until the War of Wrath at the end of the First Age. There followed the Battle of the Powers in the north and west of Middle-earth. At first they lived in darkness, prey to the creatures of Melkor, but Oromë found them, and the Valar decided to act: they went to war against Melkor. The Awakening of the Elves at Cuiviénen brought about profound changes in Middle-earth. Slowly, his polluted realm spread southwards over Middle-earth. 4 It was there that he wrought the Seven Fathers of the Dwarves, who were given life by Ilúvatar, but set to sleep until the awakening of the Firstborn.ĭespite these brief visits from the Valar, though, Middle-earth was effectively controlled by Melkor, who was free to act as he would. It was at this time, too, that Aulë returned, and secretly fashioned a hall beneath the mountains of Middle-earth. The Valar did not completely forget their ancient home, though, and Yavanna and Oromë, especially, came there from time to time to try and mend the hurts of Melkor if they could. Though the Valar made a new home for themselves in Aman, and lit their new land of Valinor with the light of the Two Trees, Middle-earth was now left in darkness for many Ages. This is one of the great disasters of Middle-earth's history: the Valar departed forever, and left Middle-earth under the sole control of Melkor, who claimed it as his own. Fleeing back to Utumno, he saved himself from the wrath of Tulkas. When he judged the time was right, he assailed Almaren and, surprising the Valar, destroyed their habitation in Middle-earth. Unknown to the Valar, though, Melkor secretly returned, and delved his first great fortress of Utumno in the mountains of the far distant north. This was the time known as the Spring of Arda. The Valar themselves dwelt in its central regions, on the green island of Almaren. From fear of Tulkas, Melkor had fled beyond the Walls of the World, and Middle-earth was a place of peace and beauty. The foundations of Middle-earth were laid by Aulë in times ancient beyond reckoning, and the Valar lit the new lands with two great Lamps, Illuin in the north and Ormal in the south. Little is known of the east or south of Middle-earth, or of the far north, but the geography and history of its Western lands are chronicled in great detail. The great continent on which much of the Silmarillion, and the adventures of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, are set. ![]() The northwestwern parts of Middle-earth at the time of the War of the Ring ![]()

Violet wood tree12/19/2023 ![]() ![]() Blooming in spring, a variety of Hymenoptera, such as sweat bees and mason bees, emerge from the ground and other nesting sites to feed upon the nectar violets supply. In addition to rhizomes, they employ multiple schemes for spreading, each strategy aiding in the support of pollinators. They are so irrepressible they can even grow under black walnut trees. These evolved to help protect them from some predators, but the leaf's coating has also proven to deter over-the-counter herbicides. Their waxy, heart-shaped leaves add to their toughness. They spread by underground rhizomes and can form resilient vegetative colonies. While this characteristic makes them a good candidate for groundcovers, violets have been known to choke out other plants. Violets are notorious for spreading everywhere, especially when they are happy. Ironically, some of their positive attributes are posed to mark them as criminals in the monoculture of the suburban lawn. They are vigorous and form dense mounding clumps approximately 5 to 7 inches from the ground. Violets, however, work in many challenging landscape conditions. There is wintergreen ( Gaultheria procumbens), partridgeberry ( Mitchella repens), various mosses, and perhaps princess pine ( Lycopodium obscurum) if the situation is just right. ![]() If attempting to grow a groundcover native to Pennsylvania, where possibilities are limited, consider violets. But contrary to their reputation, violets do have their virtues. In addition to its coloration, purpleheart has excellent strength and weathering properties, and can be used in applications where strength or durability is important-a wood with both form and function." What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have never been discovered." Ralph Waldo Emersonįor years, advocates of lawns and turfs have targeted the violet Viola as a noxious weed. gracilipes are both listed as endangered due to a small (less than 500 km 2) and fragmented area of occupancy.Ĭommon Uses: Inlays/accent pieces, flooring, furniture, boatbuilding, heavy construction, and a variety of specialty wood items.Ĭomments: Sometimes called amaranth, this colorful Latin American hardwood is tremendously popular for furniture and other designs that call for a unique splash of color. Many other species are listed as being of least concern. Some of the more commonly harvested Peltogyne species, such as P. However, since purpleheart is a grouping of many species, its unclear if any given lumber is on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Sustainability: This wood species is not listed in the CITES Appendices. Prices are in the low to medium range for an imported hardwood. Pricing/Availability: Widely available as lumber in good widths and thicknesses. See the articles Wood Allergies and Toxicity and Wood Dust Safety for more information. Usually most common reactions simply include eye and skin irritation, as well as nausea. Odor:Varies depending upon the species: most species have no characteristic odor, though some species can have a pungent scent.Īllergies/Toxicity: Although severe reactions are quite uncommon, purpleheart has been reported as a sensitizer. Purpleheart also has a moderate dulling effect on cutters. Depending on the grain orientation, can be difficult to plane without tearout. ![]() Workability: Working with purpleheart can present some unique challenges: if the wood is heated with dull tools, or if cutter speeds are too high, purpleheart will exude a gummy resin that can clog tools and complicate the machining process. Rot Resistance:Purpleheart is rated as being very durable, and resists both decay and most insect attacks, though it has been reported to be susceptible to attack from marine borers. Has a medium texture with good natural luster. Grain/Texture:The grain is usually straight, but can also be wavy or irregular. For more information, see the article Preventing Color Changes in Exotic Woods. This color-shift can be slowed and minimized by using a UV inhibiting finish on the wood. With further age and exposure to UV light, the wood becomes a dark brown with a hint of purple. Upon exposure-usually within a few days-the wood becomes a deeper eggplant purple. Color/Appearance: When freshly cut the heartwood of purpleheart can be a dull grayish/purplish brown. ![]()

Illuminations book cover12/19/2023 ![]() This should be supplemented with Clemens and Graham 2007, which is a helpful introduction to the making and use of manuscripts. The best place to start is Robb 1973, a clearly written introductory survey. There are dozens of general books on medieval manuscripts, and this section provides a selection of the more useful and some of the more recent publications on various aspects of the subject. Manuscripts were replaced by printed books, which were both cheaper and easier to produce, by the early 16th century. Completed folios were folded into gatherings of a regular number of leaves and then sewn together bound and covered. The scribes and artists responsible for producing the text and illumination would often divide up the work so that often one artist would be responsible for illuminated letters, another for blocking out the figures in the miniatures, a third for the addition of gold leaf, and so forth. ![]() The cleaned and prepared skins would be folded and cut to create folios, which had a front (recto) and back (verso). Vellum is literally the skin of a cow and parchment that of a sheep, but the two terms have come to be used interchangeably. Most medieval manuscripts are written on either vellum or parchment. Many of the earliest books were written on papyrus, but animal skin provided a more durable surface. The change provided a differently shaped field for text and illumination, and it also allowed readers to make faster progress through the book. During late Antiquity the scroll was replaced by the codex, the form of the modern book, with its gatherings of pages bound together into a volume whose pages were turned individually. In the classical world manuscripts took the form of scrolls that were unwound as the reader progressed in a linear fashion from beginning to end. The colors used in medieval illumination were, for the most part, mineral pigments. ![]() Such images are called “miniatures,” named after the reddish pigment derived from minium that was used to frame the images of late Antiquity and early Christian manuscripts. Depictions of the labors of the months could show the reader what happened on the days listed in a calendar, while images of Christ, Mary, and the saints in prayer books or Books of Hours (late medieval books used for private devotion) provided a focus for the written prayers these manuscripts contained. ![]() Narrative illumination could do the same, but it also often used to provide additional information or commentary on the written words of the text. For example, illuminated letters provided a guide to important passages or sections of a book. The word drives from the Latin illuminare (“to light up”), and medieval illumination should be understood as providing a gloss, or visual commentary, on the way the book was intended to be used and/or understood. Illuminated manuscripts are books that have been decorated in ways that help bring to light the book’s contents. Manuscripts are books that have been produced by hand. ![]()

Nursing reflection examples12/19/2023 ![]() ![]() Nurses have to navigate through ethical dilemmas in their day-to-day practice. Delivering the best care to patients with complex problems is possible through my participation in interdisciplinary care teams and effective stakeholder engagement in the design and delivery of care. I have understood the critical role nurses play as a part of the clinical microsystem to deliver quality care. Health care delivery and clinical systems determine the quality of patient care provided. As such, I will collaborate with other nurses and physicians to ensure better diagnoses, outcomes, and interventions through improved communication and mutual respect (Meehan, 2012). The diversity of clinical backgrounds and specialties makes collaboration inevitable in a clinical environment. I also gained a deep understanding of the concept of interdisciplinary collaboration in clinical care. The third practice approach learnt is health teaching, which is premised on the view that the provision of health information to patients promotes self-care, especially after discharge. It requires nursing care decisions to be sensitive to patient or family values/needs. Patient-centered care is another new practice approach learnt in this course. The aim is to provide better care through evidence-based diagnosis and therapy. This practice approach entails a judicious use of research information to inform clinical decisions (Meehan, 2012). One such approach that I have learnt through my capstone change project on nurse practitioner collaboration is evidence-based practice. Throughout this course, I have learnt multiple approaches to direct-care practice that are critical in quality healthcare delivery. ![]() It also contains an integrated reflection of my strengths and weaknesses and competencies met. ![]() The aim of this reflective journal paper is to provide an overall picture of the knowledge and skills I have acquired throughout the Professional Capstone and Practicum course. Such skills can be helpful in navigating the dynamic healthcare environment characterized by heavy nursing workload, understaffing, and increasingly complex patient needs (Zwozdiak-Myers, 2012). The blended course is designed to advance clinical role development through practice competencies in interprofessional collaboration, ethical considerations in practice, information technology, healthcare leadership and policy, etc. In this Professional Capstone and Practicum Reflective Journal, I will discuss important skills, competencies, and values that I have gained during the course offered this semester. The video below will give you an idea of what a day in the life of a nurse is like.322 specialists online Сapstone Reflective Journal So, be confident about your choice not to regret it later. Getting a nursing education is a serious step in your life. And if you’re unsure about your choice - try to make up your mind as soon as possible. It requires dedication, a strong philosophy, and stable mental health. If you are one of them, you might want to reconsider your decision.īeing a nurse is stressful.

Rust bucket fortnite12/18/2023 ![]() I have to imagine that Epic was going to release it into the game fairly soon, and like the Orbital Glider before it, I'm sure it would sell pretty well. ![]() The Rust Bucket Back Bling was available for free via the Item Shop between April 12th and April 19th, 2018 because of server downtime.

Rust Bucket fortnite cosmetic, view the 4 Rust Bucketcosmetic back bling in fortnite battle royale. In this instance, however, I wouldn't be so sure that Epic isn't losing a good chunk of change for giving this item away. The Rust Bucket skin was available as a free item from the Item Shop from April 12 to April 19. Find stats for any fortnite battle royale player, browse the leaderboards for PC, Xbox & PSN. It could even wind up making money for the developer if it hooks a few free-to-play players into the idea of character customization to the point where they decide to spend a few dollars completing a new look. Most Back Blings in the Item Shop require about 10 USD worth of V-Bucks, but Galactic Disc asked for players to sacrifice much more. Giving away free cosmetics or premium currency is not unheard of for games that experience extended technical issues - the logic goes that it's theoretically free for the company, and valuable to the platers. Just looking for other peoples opinions though. ![]() Also only like 1/1000 people you find in fill games would recognize the name. The Rust Bucket is a nice little cosmetic - the little string of bullets give an otherwise junkyard-looking piece a bit of menace.
