Roses climbing

In 1950, the National Science Foundation was established to chatmel federal support into basic research. The model for the National Science Foundation grew out of the success of the wartime Office of Scientific Research and Development (OSRD. Appropriations for the Foundation rose sharply from 225,000 in fiscal year 1951 to 14 million in fiscal year 1955 and to 153 million in fiscal year 1960. In the period 1953-1960, U.S. spending on R D grew from 5.13 billion to 13.55 billion and the federal share of the total climbed from 54 to 65% (Skolnik Reese, 1976). 

Of these plants, the one that has been most used as a psychedelic is the baby Hawaiian woodrose. This actually isn t a rose, but rather a woody climbing vine or liana with silvery foliage and violet flowers. When dried, the leaves turn tan on the outside and a light, warm saddle brown on the inside. The pod has the color of caramel. This beautiful arrangement has resulted in its use in floral displays and corsages. Native to India, it is now cultivated throughout the world s tropical regions. 

The front door was locked but not bolted. I let us in and we climbed the stairs. To my great relief, the doors to both the Marciana and Barbolano quarters were closed and we arrived unseen at the Maestro s apartment. Just inside thesalone sat the twofanti who had accompanied Gritti the previous day, Marco Martini and Amedeo Bolognetti. They stared in understandable surprise at me and my prisoner, then rose and followed us into the atelier. The conquering hero had returned. 

Beneath the orchard was more destruction. Instead of ancient trees, the track was marked by a regiment of sawn-off trunks. The lake, which had been dug in places to its full depth of twelve feet or so, was lined with all manner of rubble from the house, much of it unbroken, so that I recognized bits of barley-twist chimney stack and brick from the furnace shed. We climbed up the broken steps, past the rose gardens, which were littered with debris as if someone had shaken a giant sieve above them, to where Gill waited on the terrace to take us down to the cellars. 

Just before the oil embargo, however, replacement costs started to climb sharply. From 1971 to mid-1973, prices rose to their real 1950 level. For the first time in our history, the replacement cost of energy sources jumped above the average price paid by consumers. The postembargo oil price increases have accelerated this trend as Table I shows, the replacement cost for the mix of energy consumed by industry in mid-1977 exceeded the price of supplied energy by about 37%. The cost disparity in September 1977 was the most for natural gas (59%)—it would be even higher if Alaskan gas, liquified natural gas, or synthetic fuels were used as replacement fuels—and the least (0%) for coal. 

The boy climbed the dune slowly. A full moon rose again in the starry sky it had been a month since he had set forth from the oasis. The moonlight cast shadows through the dunes, creating the appearance of a rolling sea it reminded the boy of the day when that horse had reared in the desert, and he had come to know the alchemist. And the moon fell on the desert s silence, and on a man s journey in search of treasure. 

Between 1977 and 2007, employment of workers 65 and over increased 101 percent, compared to a much smaller increase of 59 percent for total employment (16 and overX The number of employed men 65 and over rose 75 percent, but employment of women 65 and older increased by nearly twice as much, climbing 147 percent. While the number of employed people age 75 and over is relatively small (0.8 percent of the employed in 2007), this group had the most dramatic gain, increasing 172 percent between 1977 and 2007 (Figure A4.1). 

Based on the near misses reported in the tank house, we plotted how the total injuries climbed as the number of near-miss incidents reported declined, and how the injuries fell when the number of near-miss incidents reported rose. The number of near-miss reports was one of the main management indices used and discussed at the executive level. (Figure 17.1)...
