#no improved birch forest

[cryoverkiltmilk]

The prosecution of the New Jersey Onceler is back underway. Viva la Tree Law!

KINNELON — A borough man who allegedly hired landscapers to cut down 32 of his neighbor's trees appeared in municipal court on Tuesday, in a dispute that has drawn "national and international" attention to the normally quiet Morris County town, according to the judge in the case.

With a discovery deadline of Aug. 31, Judge Andrew Wubbenhorst set a trial date of Sept. 22 for Denise Drive resident Grant Haber, who faces a trove of local ordinance violations for each of the trees cut down on the property of his next-door neighbor, Samih Shinway.

The case went mostly unnoticed by the public until a third court date last month, after a Twitter feed by a friend of the borough forester went viral. "Someone thought it would be a good idea to take the Zoom notice that was only intended for people who had involvement in the case and put it on social media," Wubbenhorst said Tuesday.

The judge said he was told that posting resulted in "hundreds of thousands of views, if not millions of views, and people trying to get into our [Zoom] court session, totally disrupting the court session," the judge said. "That's why we're here today in person."

Some of the people who were able to log into the conference, Wubbenhorst said, "were trying to disrupt and were actually very abusive and insulting to the court. Seeing that this case apparently has gotten not only national but international notoriety, I don't really think it's fair to the defendants and their counsel to have such interruptions and confusion in a virtual setting."

Prosecutor Kim Kassar said he needed more time to consult with expert witnesses before discovery could begin. Wubbenhorst, noting the volume of charges and public attention involved, cleared Tuesday's court calendar to focus on this case.

Only one of the charges is considered a criminal offense, in this case an alleged violation of a state statute "covering unlicensed entry of structures; defiant trespassing and peering into dwelling places."

Facing charges along with Haber are two tree service operators he hired: Ronald Fallas, doing business at Choco Tree Service in Newark, and Greg Brancaleone of Father & Son Tree Service in Kinnelon. All of the defendants were represented by attorneys who declined comment.

Cleared for a view?

Shinway, Haber's neighbor, said he took the woods on his property seriously: Before the tree-cutting incident, he'd retained the services of an arborist to help keep the forest healthy, he said. But on Feb. 27, Shinway said, he came home to the sound of chainsaws coming from the back of his land. He had to use an ATV to reach the site where the trees had been cut. Oaks and birch trees were among the targets of the landscapers, who stopped after Shinway confronted them and called the police, he said.

Shinway said the workers told him they had been hired to remove the trees to improve the area's view of the surrounding valleys and New York City.

When Shinway asked why they ignored the "No Trespassing" signs posted around his property, they responded that they had been told that the property's owner had given permission for the work.

Potential fines

Haber and the landscapers each face up to a $1,000 fine per tree. The additional cost to clear, replant and fully rehabilitate the land was reportedly estimated by a local tree expert to possibly be more than $1 million.

Both the Haber and Shinway properties include luxury homes on seven-acre, mostly wooded lots where trees limit backyard views of the New York City skyline and a nearby reservoir. Shinway speculated the motivation for the tree-culling may have been for "a better view."

Shinway said both properties are among the many million-dollar homes in the wealthy, heavily forested suburb of New York City, 33 miles from midtown Manhattan. He said the only contact he had with Haber prior to the tree-cutting was to discuss a fence on the Haber property he believed crossed onto his land.

"I just let it go," Shinway said, adding he did post "no trespassing" signs on his property after that.

One of the trees cut down had such a sign still affixed to it, he added. The cut trees also included oaks, hickory, birch and cherry, Shimway said.

A typed response

Shinway said after the incident, Haber sent him a typed letter that in his view fell short of an apology.

"It was impersonal," he said of the letter. "Stating they love nature, it wasn't done maliciously and the tree company that did it, the person was ill, and everybody's got families, something along those lines."

Shinway said he has not yet retained an attorney or considered filing a civil suit.

In-person, the court session only drew a small group of media and about a dozen residents, many of who were angry about what they said was the township's poor stewardship of their forested areas, claiming authorities had given tree-removal approvals to many property owners in violation of local ordinances.

"Look at all the trees being cut down for views of the Kakeout Reservoir, New York City, bigger toxic lawns, pools and whatever pleases us," said 54-year Kinnelon resident Mary Derstine before the hearing began. "I hope and pray we wake up in time so our children and future generations can know what a tree looks like, can breathe and have food to eat. Politicians, corporations and greed must not destroy our living planet."

Re: The Wild Update: We're not mad that we "didn't get what was in the concept art," we're mad that Mojang scrapped the entire core concept of the "Wild Update."

The thing that tied all the content in the update together was supposed to be the improvements to nature and things to make the Overworld more immersive, and we got Literally Nothing that was that.

Like it's not just that birch forests didn't get updated—NO biomes got updated. The swamps didn't get reeds or cattails in them. There aren't even any new flowers.

Sunshine in a Smile

ethubs, 591 words

Here's it on ao3

Etho thinks Bdubs looks like the Sun. It’s ridiculous really, a bit too on the nose- believe him, he knows. Sleeps through every night, golden skin and shining eyes, yes of course Bdubs looks like the Sun. Etho’s even heard the stories from the trip through the rift: “Etho! Oh you won’t believe it, I became the god of the sun!” The cloak he came back in shimmered with every step he took but it couldn’t have shone brighter than the smile on his face when he told Etho everything that happened in the other world. They were in the ruins behind the monolith where Etho had started a small garden. He beamed and explained the wonders of improv as Etho tended the tulips, periwinkles, and dwarf sunflowers (yes, mini sunflowers. Etho may joke that it’s about his height but the creases in the corners of Bdubs eyes hid a knowing smile). They sat in the garden until the sun was setting and if seeing him glow in golden hour took Etho’s breath away then no one needs to know. Glowstone, sunbeams, and joy making him truly celestial. By the void, if Etho didn’t believe Bdubs became a god before he certainly did then. Yet the end of the day left Bdubs yawning and fighting to stay awake and talk- it took only a little convincing before Bdubs went to bed. 

That leads to now: Etho sitting on the front steps of the monolith, redstone blueprints abandoned in the kitchen. If Bdubs is the sun, then Etho is convinced he’s the moon. It makes sense, honestly, a bit too on the nose. As opposed to the warm summers of the sun the moon brings thoughts of a quiet winter chill. Cold and far away, without a light of its own. Not always, Bdubs would say, I think about warm summer nights and fireflies. Nights like this one, Etho supposes. There’s a soft pleasant breeze stirring through the leaves and creating the perfect atmosphere to sit outside and think. He looks up at the moon now- almost full, bringing a dim illumination to the birch forest around him. The moon reflects the light of the sun and well, Etho always seems the brightest when they’re together. Etho’s content to be the moon. 

Bdubs suggested he add ferns to the garden: “Well fine! if you had to put me in there then you should put yourself. Some fern or something.” Etho played it off as a jab at being boring, but he’s certain Bdubs heard the smile in his voice, saw the softening of his eyes. Being direct never really was their strong suit.  With a sigh, Etho stands up and heads back into the monolith and up to the kitchen. While he would admit it to no one, Bdubs is not a morning person. And so, Etho sets out his beloved mug (it’s a wonky shape and a familiar mossy green- not Etho’s best work but Bdubs insisted on keeping it) and fills the kettle with water to leave till morning. Coffee grounds are set out, right beside their old coffee maker. Easy enough for tired hands to move through the motions beyond half closed eyes (the sun will not rise without caffeine). With everything carefully prepared, Etho heads upstairs, finally tired enough to sleep. The moon must rest too.

Etho thinks Bdubs is like the Sun. Bright laughter, kind eyes, and plenty of warmth to share. And if that’s a bit too on the nose? Well, no one needs to know.

Weee more hermitgals precure au brainstorming <3

Stress: finding love and joy even in the most mundane of activities, it's the little things: a warm cup of floral tea, the flap of a butterfly's wings, the way light shines through crystals, the scratchy texture of a picnic blanket. Maybe not everything inspires creativity, but anything can.

Cure Allium? It's Stress' favourite Minecraft flower, and it can represent the decorative items of Minecraft— may be "worthless" in the sense of mechanics, but they breathe life into the game. (and the universe said you are stronger than you know)

False: the everchanging flow of creativity, water and ice and wind and snow, they're made from the same thing but they fill up space differently, big shapes and fluids, knowing how to manipulate elements and fill in empty places.

Cure Prismarine? Cure Diamond? (I know Cure Diamond already exists but I like her a lot and her song that goes "this heart is an unbreakable diamond heart, I cannot get hurt" has such a clutch over me. I am a Cure Diamond defender.) This represents the "elements" (minerals?) of Minecraft and how they can be modified for different needs. (and the universe said everything you need is within you)

Cleo: noticing all the little details that make people people, the creativity of connecting unrelated items to form a coherent picture, finding life in the undead.

Cure Blaze? I suppose Cleo is inevitably linked to fire because of their hair and theme colour. I think Blazes aren't an undead mob (?) but they're from the Nether and that's the representative of hell and monsters and undead and fire so... close enough. (and the universe said you are not separate from every other thing)

Pearl: finding coherence in the jagged mass of the alien darkness, weird and wacky but harmonious, moonlight shining through shadows, the creativity of clashing contrasting colours and elements together but creating beauty out of it, constantly pushing the limits and challenging yourself.

Cure Moon. I think that's the best choice given her yellow scheme. Her outfit is also a bit purple-y for the shadows and a bit rainbow-y for the pearlescent part. Her villain name is probably something like Lunar or Eclipse. This represents the End / the Void dimension of Minecraft, a place that seems dangerous but you can find wacky yet beautiful things in it. (and the universe said the light you seek is within you)

Gem: the whimsy and wonderful world of fantasy, the creativity of merging wild nature and livable places, beauty and elegance without missing a hint of playfulness, creating magical worlds from epic castles to cute hideouts.

Not really sure honestly? She has a nature / Overworld theme but it might overlap with Stress. I mean I'm not naming her Cure Birch. Or I might actually do it. For the birch forest bit. This broadly represents the Overworld, all the biomes and trees and plants. (and the universe said you have played the game well)

Ren: the improv storyteller, subtly connecting people and things together, the sincerity and shamelessness of being immersed into creating art (and the universe said you are not alone)

Iskall: the audacity to be brave and bold, daring to dream, daring to create, persevering, falling down and getting up and trying again, learning the rhythm of the slow gears that make the world turn, determined to keep moving forward but still goofy enough to enjoy the small moments of life (and the universe said the darkness you fight is within you)

And all of them together, their powers combined:

and the universe said you are the universe tasting itself, talking to itself, reading its own code

and the universe said I love you because you are love.

Thinking about how they showed off all this minecraft concept art and ideas they had on an improved birch forest that would make one of the basic forests in the game feel more breathy and alive and then they never added it in the update they promised it for. And then told us they never explicitly said they were adding it to the game even though they showed it in a show right next to actual gameplay footage and discussions on the future of the game and everything and i want to scream

[blockgamepirate]

Dumb Minecraft Wild Update discourse under the cut:

I think the thing about Minecraft 1.19 is that I get how frustrating it is that people completely turned on it over a couple of features not ending up included. And yeah some people are definitely being assholes about it. And as much as it's funny to meme about "Caves and Cliffs part 3" (because let's be honest, it kinda is) it's not like it isn't a perfectly decent update on its own and the reason Caves and Cliffs ended up getting separated into three updates was because it turned out to be such an ambitious update.

(Which is good ftr. I'm glad they decided to do a full terrain overhaul instead of just adding some mountains to the existing terrain and within the existing build limit. That would have been a letdown. And making the deep dark more than just a new biome with a new monster but with the ancient cities and everything was a good move too. And I'm glad they didn't do crunch to force it all to get finished in one go.)

I can't even blame them for over-estimating the time it would take to accomplish all that. We've all been there. It's fine. And I do think people complaining about Caves and Cliffs and the deep dark getting split into different updates are being too entitled.

That said, I don't like the fact that Mojang refuses to acknowledge that their messaging about the Wild Update was misleading. Because yeah sure maybe they didn't promise to update the birch forest or other biomes except swamps, but the whole spiel about wanting to update overworld biomes and showing off the birch forest concept art and talking about how they wanted to improve the atmosphere, all that was included in the Wild Update section of the event. If it was just a vague concept that wasn't necessarily intended for this update then they could have easily talked about it in another part of the event, possibly even after the Wild Update reveal and made it clear that it was not something they were working on for this update. At the very least I think it's worth owning up to it and recognising why people interpreted it as an indication of what would be included in the Wild Update.

And could people in the community please stop blaming others for getting hyped up? Just because you knew all along that it was just concept art, doesn't mean other fans were wrong to interpret it differently. It was pretty damn ambiguous.

I don't know if it was something Mojang thought they might do and included to build up hype or if it really was always intended as a vague future direction kind of thing, but whatever it was, the messaging ended up making people disappointed and unnecessarily deflating the hype for the update at the very point when it needed it the most. And that's not all on the community, some of the blame goes to the PR team. I mean miscalculations happen and that's understandable, nobody's perfect, but it was a miscalculation. It's not just the fans being stupid for not reading their minds.

Mojang's response to the backlash could have used more work but tbh I'm even more annoyed at the people who are suddenly very loud about how they knew all along that it was just concept art and everybody's getting mad over nothing, despite the fact that I don't remember them ever saying they knew the birch forests weren't gonna get updated before Mojang confirmed it...

Also I think part of the reason people are making noise about it is to show that there IS interest in this biome update and we don't want it to go into the unused concepts pile. It's not just "you promised us a birch forest update!" but "you showed us a birch forest update and now we want it!" You know?

Obviously I'm biased because I really wanted the birch forest update too, but look: you gotta understand that people were genuinely excited and are genuinely disappointed. I get that Mojang can't do everything or please everybody but I just want some respect for people's feelings here, okay?

I'm just so frustrated with the smug comments.

Also the frogs didn't need to eat the fireflies, the fireflies could have been purely atmospheric.

I mean I do still like the update, even if it didn't live up to the hype. It's just a shame, thinking about what could have been. And I feel like if it had been presented as a bit of a smaller update (or like a medium-sized update I guess) it would have been fine in fact. I mean I think most people were fine with 1.15 which was tiny in terms of new features, because it was made very clear from the start that it was gonna be a small one.

I mean of course it also suffered from coming after 1.18 which was, despite the delays and not having the deep dark, much cooler than anyone had dared to expect from the cave update. It set the expectations high. And so did 1.16 for that matter, another update that absolutely exceeded expectations. But still, I think actively lowering expectations for this one would have helped. Like just say clearly and simply that it's the deep dark and the swamps and that's it. Just two moderately big things that had been long expected that people had been waiting for, it would have been fine. People would have been happy enough.

Okay rant over. Sorry about that, just needed to get it out of my system.

Why Choose a Timber Harvester Head?

Safety concerns take center stage when choosing a harvester head. These machines are designed to effectively handle slopes, limit changes in the minimized outcome, and ensure safe operation. Harvester heads are most suitable for stands consisting of single stem species like conifers, aspen, and birch.

Framework Association and Purpose

Harvester heads are created for shippers who can professionally process machined screws they produce. They work well with Helicopter and Link frameworks, significantly improving the efficiency of the extraction strategy. The purpose of a harvester head is most commonly realized where industries are available to process cut material, making them common in regions like the Lake States.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the timber harvester head stands as a crucial element in the world of tree cutting and timber harvesting. Its efficiency, adaptability, and safety features make it a valuable investment for industries involved in processing wood. Whether navigating slopes or handling various soil conditions, the harvester head proves to be a versatile and essential tool in optimizing the utilization of timber resources.

Exploring the Diversity of Tree Species Arborists Encounter

Arborists are professionals who specialize in the care and maintenance of trees. As they work diligently to preserve and enhance the beauty and health of trees, arborists encounter a rich and diverse array of tree species. Each species possesses its unique characteristics, growth habits, and maintenance requirements. We will explore the remarkable diversity of tree species that arborists encounter in their work, highlighting the importance of understanding and appreciating this botanical variety.

Native Trees:

Native trees are those that naturally occur and have evolved in a specific region over time. Arborists frequently encounter a wide range of native tree species during their work. For instance, in North America, arborists may come across majestic oak trees, sturdy maple trees, graceful birch trees, or towering pine trees. Native trees are well-adapted to local climates and provide important ecological benefits such as supporting wildlife, improving soil quality, and contributing to the overall health of local ecosystems.

Ornamental Trees:

Ornamental trees are often planted for their aesthetic appeal in residential and commercial landscapes. Arborists encounter a plethora of ornamental tree species with diverse foliage, flowers, and bark characteristics. Examples include the colorful blooms of dogwood trees, the graceful weeping branches of cherry trees, or the striking foliage of Japanese maple trees. Arborists understand the specific care needs of ornamental trees, ensuring they receive appropriate pruning, fertilization, and pest control to maintain their beauty and health.

Exotic and Non-Native Trees:

Arborists also come across exotic and non-native tree species, which have been introduced to new regions. These trees can add diversity and uniqueness to landscapes but may require careful management due to their potential impact on local ecosystems. Examples of non-native trees include the majestic eucalyptus trees in some parts of the United States or the charming magnolia trees in European gardens. ISA certified arborist play a vital role in monitoring and managing exotic tree species, ensuring they coexist harmoniously with native flora and fauna.

The work of arborists is not only centered around preserving and maintaining trees but also involves navigating the incredible diversity of tree species they encounter. From native trees that have stood the test of time to ornamental trees that enhance landscapes, from exotic species that add flair to non-native environments to fruit and nut trees that bear tasty rewards, and from coniferous evergreens that provide year-round beauty to hardwoods that grace our forests, arborists appreciate and understand the characteristics and care requirements of these diverse tree species. Their expertise ensures the health, longevity, and sustainability of these magnificent living organisms, contributing to the well-being of our environment and the communities we inhabit.

A Foggy Himalayan Morning A Mission Control Center operator at NASA’s Johnson Space Center took this photo of the Himalaya mountains while the International Space Station orbited over central India. This oblique, north-looking view of the Himalayas was captured remotely using the External High-Definition Camera (EHDC), a camera that is mounted externally on the space station. This picture was taken at sunrise, which is an opportune time to capture fog rolling through the mountain range into the shadowed valley to the south. Fog forms when air cools to the point where airborne water vapor condenses, which happens at night when the Sun’s light is no longer heating the surface. Throughout the night, the heavier, condensed air descends from the mountaintops and collects in nearby valleys. When the Sun rises, heat eventually evaporates the fog, clearing it away. In the center-right of the image is Nepal’s Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Sagarmatha National Park spans about 1,200 square kilometers (460 square miles) and is home to the world’s highest peak, Mount Everest, otherwise known as Sagarmatha in Nepali and Chomolungma in Tibetan. Mount Everest stands at 8,849 meters (29,032 feet) in elevation. The park contains mountains, glaciers, deep valleys, and seven other peaks in addition to Mount Everest. This area of the Himalayas is home to an indigenous group of people called the Sherpas, who are known for their mountaineering skills. The region’s high altitudes cause the area to be mostly devoid of vegetation. The small, forested areas, which support more than 110 types of birds, are composed of bamboo, birch, blue pines, and other types of trees. Other wildlife found in the area includes rare species such as the red panda and the elusive snow leopard. Astronaut photograph ISS068-E-51118 was acquired on February 10, 2023, with a Nikon D4 digital camera using a focal length of 340 millimeters. It is provided by the ISS Crew Earth Observations Facility and the Earth Science and Remote Sensing Unit, Johnson Space Center. The image was taken by an externally mounted camera on the ISS during Expedition 68. The image has been cropped and enhanced to improve contrast, and lens artifacts have been removed. The International Space Station Program supports the laboratory as part of the ISS National Lab to help astronauts take pictures of Earth that will be of the greatest value to scientists and the public, and to make those images freely available on the Internet. Additional images taken by astronauts and cosmonauts can be viewed at the NASA/JSC Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth.

Mathematical evaluation associated with anti-mamushi venom serum treatment time and specialized medical program.

Right here, we provide the deterministic entanglement distillation process in a practical raucous environment to the double-server BQC standard protocol. This specific method can find the pure maximally knotted Bell point out. Your achievement likelihood can easily reach 100% in theory. The actual distilled maximally entangled says could be remaind to execute the particular BQC standard protocol consequently. Your celebrations that do the distillation standard protocol do not need to swap your classical info and they understand nothing at all through the client. Commemorate this specific process without condition secure along with suitable for the near future BQC protocol.Your comparative amounts of hyphal inoculum in forest soil might figure out the capacity pertaining to infection for you to contend with as well as change early colonizers regarding wooden within ground contact. The aim within this study was to test the freedom regarding priority consequences (colonization time) by simply numerous the right time to involving inoculum introduction (we.electronic., precolonization) along with level of inoculum (my partner and i.e., inoculum probable). We manipulated these factors throughout soil-block microcosms using fungus with known competing results within equivalent problems, tracking isolate-specific fungus bio-mass, and residue physiochemistry as time passes. From the precolonization test (try things out My partner and i), the dark brown decay fungus infection Gloeophyllum trabeum was handed 1, Several, as well as Five several weeks to be able to precolonize solid wood prevents (pine, birch, this tree, along with tart) preceding the creation of a bright decompose infection, Irpex lacteus, a much more aggressive colonizer with this set-up. Inside the inoculum probable test (test 2), the fungi had been inoculated at the same time, but with eightfold greater brownish get rotten inoculum than that of try things out My spouse and i. As you expected, extended precolonization timeframe improved the possibility for the less-competitive darkish decompose fungus infection for you to outcompete it's white rot adversary. Greater dark brown get rotten fungal find more inoculum away from the solid wood matrix also triggered competing accomplishment for your brown rot isolate in most cases. These types of temporal work day throughout fungus popularity were noticeable inside a 'community snapshot' as isolate-specific quantitative PCR, but additionally since functionally-relevant implications associated with wood decompose variety, which includes carbohydrate depolymerization along with ph. These types of is caused by a managed program bolster fungal-fungal connection and also advise that comparable inoculum availability beyond the wooden matrix (my partner and i.electronic., soils) may possibly regulate the particular duration of priority consequences as well as move the functional trajectory involving wood decomposition.CONTEXT As well as Aim: Nestin, a class Mire advanced beginner filament proteins, is highly portrayed from the site mesenchyme and sinusoidal endothelium from the human baby lean meats, however barely depicted within adult site vessel endothelium. Throughout new liver regeneration, a greater number of nestin-positive parenchymal cells have been seen in your area alongside your Hering waterways.
