![]() Then, move onto large dense broom infestations by starting at the edges and working towards the centers of infestations. Broom shrub plants may get 9 feet (2.5 m.) tall and produce some spectacular bloom displays in spring. ![]() Most broom shrub varieties were originally introduced as ornamentals but some species became useful as erosion control. First, keep uninfested land free of broom, by removing new and isolated plants or patches. Broom plants, such as Scotch broom ( Cytisus scoparius ), are common sights along highways, in meadows and in disturbed areas. It grows in lowland areas and is considered a significant threat to park ecosystems. A mature broom plant can produce more than 10,000 seeds and distribute them as far as 20 feet away. Height 6 feet (2 m) Exposure full sun Soil rather sandy, well-draining. Name Cytisus scoparius Family Fabaceae Type shrub. In Olympic National Park, Scot’s broom is found in large populations on the coast, along Highway 101 and other road corridors, and other disturbed and non-wooded areas. Plentiful across Europe, Scotch broom is a shrub that bears wonderful flushes of yellow blooms in Spring. It can propel its seeds up to 10 feet from the plant and they may stay viable as long as 70 years later. It is a Class B weed in Washington State, which means it should be contained within current boundaries to prevent further spread. Scotch broom and striated broom are 2 of 4 nonnative invasive broom species that occur in North America. It is very aggressive and is infamous along the coast from British Columbia to California. Scot’s broom was introduced from Europe to coastal California as an ornamental and soil binder. The “pea pod” legume is flat, has several seeds, and is olive to reddish-brown. Yellow flowers are irregularly-shaped, solitary or in pairs, and have 5 petals. Scotch broom was originally introduced as an ornamental plant, this plant has become invasive and has spread across southern BC. The leaves are mostly composed of three smaller, pointed leaflets. The many green branches are woody, slender, and stiff. Scot's broom is a perennial member of the pea family. It is widely distributed throughout the Pacific Northwest on disturbed sites. It is often seen in fields or alongside roads. It was introduced on the Vesuvius from 1906 to consolidate its bare and sunny slopes and to facilitate plant re-colonization.This shrub has bright yellow flowers that grow into pea pod-like fruits. The Etna broom (Genista aetnensis) owes its name to its area of origin: it’s an endemic plant of Sicily and grows in particular on the Mount Etna up to over 2,000 metres. ![]() The branches, which are not very flammable, were used to make brooms and cover the highest part of the coal cellar, so that the piles of wood burned slowly and turned into coal. The Scotch Broom (Citisus scoparius) appears as a small and medium-sized bush, rich in branches and buds it prefers warm environments and blooms from August to October with hermaphroditic flowers of an intense yellow. The Carthaginians used it to weave the sails for ships. French brooms's leaves are all three-parted and flowers are in clusters of. Spanish broom has round stems and flowers only at stem tips. Our Richard II received it, and a Broom plant, with open, empty pods, can be seen ornamenting his tomb in. The branches contain a very stringy fabric from which a high-quality textile is extracted. Spanish broom ( Spartium junceum) and French broom ( Genista monspessulana), Class A noxious weeds in Washington, and gorse (Ulex europaeus), a Class B noxious weed in Washington, look similar to Scotch broom. The Spanish broom (Spartium junceum) is a shrub that prefers garrigue in sunny stations it blooms from May to July with large, bright yellow and very fragrant flowers.

"Where's father?"Ĭlaudette, who also secretly had her fingers crossed in hope that her daughter would not address that question took note of her dejected manner, slipped her hand onto her daughter shoulder. "Mother-" Evangeline said, voice quivering slightly. Evangeline, who secretly had her fingers crossed in hopes of being greeted by the presence of a certain person look around, hope deflating as she realised that her wish was not, in fact, granted. ![]() Mind letting me in so I can tell you all about it?"Ĭlaudette let out a slight chuckle, drawing back to allow her daughter to walk through the doors of the Dalton manor. "How was your year, darling?" Claudette fretted, releasing her daughter from her bone-crushing hug. Stay tuned, and we'll keep you posted once we have a better assessment of the likely final text of the law.It was a rather sunny July afternoon when Evangeline Dalton was welcomed home into the open arms of her mother. There are some things that seem almost certain to make it into the final text (application of EU data protection rules to any worldwide business servicing EU citizens, extension of liability to data processors, some notion of a one-stop shop, greater fines etc.), but many that still remain open to debate (mandatory DPOs, the role of consent, etc.). What all this means is that today was certainly a big day for EU data protection, but there's still a long road to travel down. So, even assuming things go swimmingly and the three institutions agree on the language of the law this year, then it is still very unlikely to become effective before the middle of 2017 - and, given the rate of progress to date, 2018 frankly seems more realistic. ![]() But, wait a minute! Even when the new law does get adopted, it's unlikely to take effect for a further two years (unless this two year lead-in period is negotiated out during the trilogue). Then, and only then, will the General Data Protection Regulation become law.ĥ. These are scheduled to begin on 24 June and their ultimate aim is to produce a final negotiated text that all three institutions agree on. What happens next is that the Parliament, the Council and the Commission will now enter three-way "trilogue" negotiations ( explained here). This some 3 years after the law was originally proposed by the Commission - progress has not been quick.Ĥ. Today's development is that the Council of the EU has finally (and reluctantly) put forward its own proposed "version", with a greater leaning towards risk-based application of data protection rules. The EU Parliament put forward its proposed "version" in March 2014, favouring strict protection of individuals' rights. The EU Parliament (for our US audience, think the House of Representatives) and the Council of the EU (think the US Senate) each then got to review and table amendments to the draft legislation through various committee proceedings - the aim being for each institution to come up with its own preferred draft of the law.ģ. The European Commission (in simple terms, the executive branch of EU government) proposed a new EU data protection law in 2012 - this is the "General Data Protection Regulation".Ģ. ![]() In fact, far from it - we're still only at the draft stage! And until we have agreed the final text of the new law, it's very difficult to predict where exactly we will land on many of the issues.įor those of you struggling to understand timelines and where exactly we are in the process, here's how things stand:ġ. It's rather remarkable to note that both industry and civil liberties groups seem equally downcast about the new proposals, albeit for entirely opposing reasons.īut what these prophecies of doom all overlook is that we don't have a new data protection law yet. For those of you keeping tabs on EU data protection developments, today's exciting news was that the Council of the EU has reached a "general approach" on Europe's proposed General Data Protectionįor those of you keeping tabs on EU data protection developments, today's exciting news was that the Council of the EU has reached a "general approach" on Europe's proposed General Data Protection Regulation, with the twin aims of enhancing Europeans' data protection rights and increasing business opportunities in the Digital Single Market.Īnd what a lot people have had to say about it! Some say it's going to "kill off Europe's cloud computing industry" ( story here) while others describe it as "a brazen effort to destroy Europe's world leading approach to data protection and privacy" ( story here). ![]() ![]() This can be set to over 100 per cent to force patients to have further unnecessary diagnoses. ĭiagnosis and treatment cost patients money, and the player can change hospital policy, including the amount of diagnosis patients require. There are rooms that only staff use, such as the Staff Room and the Training room, while patients also require certain rooms such as toilet facilities. Doctors must have acquired certain specialist skills to practise in certain rooms, such as the Research room (used to research new rooms and cures, and improve existing ones) and Operating Theatre. Some rooms, such as the Inflator room-where patients with Bloaty Head are treated-contain machines which require regular maintenance by a handyman: if neglected for too long, they will explode, killing all occupants of the room. While a few rooms are available at the start of the game, the rest must be researched. ![]() Once a diagnosis is made, the patient will be sent for treatment. Patients see a GP in his office who either provides a diagnosis or sends them for further evaluation in a specialised diagnosis room. The player is given time to build the hospital at the start of each level before patients start coming. The player may also set up items such as benches, fire extinguishers, and plants in the open corridor spaces provided. Rooms include GP's Offices, Psychiatric rooms, Operating Theatres and Pharmacies, and are built by placing down a blueprint, assigning the location of doors and windows, and then placing down required and optional pieces of furniture. Each staff member has statistics that affect their performance, and doctors can be trained so their statistics will increase. Starting with an empty hospital, the player must build rooms and hire doctors, nurses, handymen and receptionists. Diseases include Bloaty Head (which swells the patient's head), King Complex (which forces the patient to impersonate Elvis Presley), and Alien DNA (which transforms the patient into an alien). ![]() The game has a somewhat dark sense of humour, similar to that of its predecessor, Theme Park. The player is required to build an environment that will attract patients with comical diseases and then treat them while tending to their needs. Revival attempts have been made with the development of open-source remakes such as CorsixTH. The game was re-released on GOG.com in 2012 and Origin in 2015, and the PlayStation version was released on the PlayStation Network in Europe in 2008, Japan in 2009, and North America in 2010. A Sega Saturn version was in development, but cancelled. Theme Hospital was a commercial success, selling over 4 million copies worldwide, and was ported to the PlayStation in 1998. The game received a generally positive reception, with reviewers praising the graphics and humour in particular. Multiplayer support with up to four players was added in a patch. Designers originally planned to include four distinct gameplay modes corresponding to historical time periods, but this was dropped due to time pressures on the team. Peter Molyneux and James Leach came up with the idea of creating a Theme game based on a hospital, but Molyneux was not directly involved in development due to his work on Dungeon Keeper. The game is noted for its humour, and contains numerous references to pop culture. The game is the thematic successor to Theme Park, also produced by Bullfrog, and the second instalment in their Theme series, and part of their Designer Series. Theme Hospital is a business simulation game developed by Bullfrog Productions and published by Electronic Arts in 1997 for MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows compatible PCs in which players design and operate a privately owned hospital with the goal of curing patients of fictitious comical ailments. ![]() Southwestern cuisine themed garden inspired by the three sisters companion planting method.Įxpand below garden plan and see plant list.ģ.

![]() What to Order: There’s no going to Fat Dragon and avoiding the dumplings - and, considering the sheer amount of them on their menu (13 different kinds!), why would you even try? Their savory sections run the gamut from traditional selections, like sui mai and vegetable, to some other-worldly flavor explosions, like ones made with cumin and lamb. To add to it all, a trip to Jade ensures the most authentic dim sum service experience - we’re talking metal carts pushing around dishes piled high in bamboo steamers. And, Jade has picked up its sibling’s mantle and reputation for classic Chinese dishes made exceptionally well. ![]() While New Fortune might be gone, its sister restaurant, Jade, is still alive and kicking. Luckily, there was hope at the end of the turnip cake tunnel. What Makes this Place Special: Long-time Austin locals were devastated when beloved dim sum haven, New Fortune Chinese, closed in spring of 2021. These fried-dough wonders are the ideal consistency for sopping up all the extra soy sauce on your plate. You can compliment all that duck goodness with Jade’s scallion pancakes. The portions are particularly huge and make a solid meal for more than one (or, alternatively, a large amount of leftovers). With its thin, crispy skin and juicy meat, it is also something to be shared. What to Order: While dim sum purists may scoff at the idea of ordering an entree like Peking Duck during brunch hours, all one needs is a tiny morsel of Jade’s mouth watering protein to throw tradition out the window. Jade RestaurantĪddress: 3801 N Capital of Texas Hwy C-200 It’s no surprise then, that, from the outside, the building which houses the restaurant looks like a standard family home - the whole place feels familiar, comforting, and cozy. The decor, featuring lots of paper lanterns in addition to more modern finishes, compliments the menu’s balance between traditional and innovative. Besides that though, the friendly, open atmosphere of Lin makes it perfect for taking out the parents, hanging with the crew, going on a date, and everything in between. What Makes this Place Special: It’s hard to go wrong getting dim sum at a restaurant that includes said category in its actual name. That would be the Shanghai jumbo seafood dumpling, which requires a straw to sip out every last bit of the warm, comforting broth. ![]() In addition to the options of delicious standards, like Sui Mai and beef potstickers, there is one item that stands above the rest, both physically and in flavor. What she should rightfully be called, however, is a dumpling master - the selection she offers at her own dim sum brunch is the best in the city. What to Order: Lin Asian Bar + Dim Sum Restaurant is the brainchild of chef Ling Qi Wu, who worked as the original dim sum chef at previously-mentioned Wu Chow. Our favorite of all the libations, however, would have to be their My-Tie, Wu Chow’s take on the classic rum cocktail that comes in a parrot glass worthy of all the island vibes. ![]() It would be a shame not to enjoy your dim sum selections alongside one of their signature tiki drinks, which come in adorable ceramic mugs depicting everything from a pineapple to a panda bear to a shark. We mean, the place is named after famous rap pioneers, Wu Tang Clan, so you know it’s already ten degrees cooler than your standard city hotspot. What Makes this Place Special: Wu Chow is the perfect Downtown spot, a mix of hip decor, fashionable clientele, and food that will knock your socks off. Don’t skimp on dessert either - the baked pineapple bao will send your mouth on a tropical trip. Besides their little magical pillows of broth and pork, their chicken and taro egg rolls deliver the perfect crispy bite. This dish is so popular at Wu Chow that, in the early days of the restaurant, each table was limited to only two orders each. What to Order: Four words for you: Shanghai pork soup dumplings.
