Description
The tree or shrub typically grows to a height of  and has an open habit. It has thick, glabrous branchlets that are angled at the extremities and covered in a fine white powdery coating. Like most species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The glabrous phyllodes are found at the end of obvious stem-projections forming narrow wings that are  in length and  wide and have one nerve per face and finely penninerved. It blooms in May and produces yellow flowers. The inflorescences are found on a raceme that is  in length. The spherical to obloid shaped flower-heads contain 33 to 75 golden coloured flowers. Following flowering glabrous, firmly chartaceous, narrowly oblong seed pods form that are up to  in length and  wide and are covered in a fine white powdery coating. The shiny black seeds inside the pods have an oblong to elliptic shape with a length of  with a dark red-brown club shaped aril.

Taxonomy
The species was first formally described by the botanists Bruce Maslin and Carole Elliott in 2006 as a part of the work Acacia splendens (Leguminosae : Mimosoideae), a new rare species from near Dandaragan, Western Australia as published in the journal Nuytsia.

Distribution
It is native to a small area in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia all found in a single population to the north west of Dandaragan growing gravelly loam soils among laterite breakaways as a part of low Eucalyptus woodland communities.

Stella Mann College of Performing Arts is an independent, co-educational performing arts school and college specialising in dance and musical theatre. The college is located in the Harpur area of Bedford, Bedfordshire, England.

Overview
Founded by the dance teacher Stella Mann (24 January 1912 – 5 January 2013) in 1946, the college began as dance school located in Hampstead, London. In 2003, the college moved to its present location in Bedford in a building previously occupied by Middlesex University.

Stella Mann College provides vocational training in dance and musical theatre. The college prepares students for a career in the performing arts and has a history of feeding artists into West End theatre and dance companies.

Key areas of study include classical ballet, tap, jazz and contemporary dance, singing and drama.  Candidates who complete the course are awarded either the National Diploma in Professional Dance or the National Diploma in Professional Musical Theatre.  The college is accredited to the Council for Dance Education and Training and its qualifications are accredited by Trinity College, London.  Both qualifications are rated at Level 6 on the National Qualifications Framework and despite being classed as further education, are equivalent to higher education courses such as an undergraduate degree.

The college is one of the 21 schools selected to allocate Dance and Drama Awards, a government funded scholarship scheme to subsidise vocational performing arts training.  The college is an approved centre of the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing and students have the option to study for nationally recognised dance teaching qualifications with the organisation.

Alongside its professional training, the college operates a part-time lower school, which teaches dance and theatre skills to children of pre-vocational age.  Children are prepared for examinations with the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing and take part in aproduction.

The Zen Centre is a Buddhist temple in London, England, and the active arm of the Zen Trust, whose object is to promote the Zen Buddhist religion for the benefit of the public. Members generally attend its meetings at the premises of the Buddhist Society. Attendance at Zen Centre premises is for select invitees only. The Zen Centre was founded by Christmas Humphreys, who also founded The Buddhist Society and was led by the Venerable Myokyo-ni until her death in 2007.

It has two law properties: Shobo-an ('Hermitage of the True Dharma') at 58 Marlborough Place, St John's Wood, London; and Fairlight in Luton, together valued at £2,240,000 in the Zen Trust's 2005 accounts lodged with the Charity Commission.

Shobo-an was formerly Christmas Humphreys' home and was left by him to the Zen Centre on his death in 1983. It was inaugurated as temple on 23 July 1984.

The purchase of Fairlight was financed largely using a single legacy from a lay devotee. It was acquired in a state of considerable disrepair from Luton District Council in 1995, and was improved by volunteers of the Zen Centre. The Venerable Myokyo-ni moved to Fairlight in 2002 and lived there until her death in 2007.

Parashar Lake (also spelled Prashar Lake) is a freshwater lake located at an elevation of  in the Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh, India. It lies  east of the town of Mandi, and has a three storied pagoda-like temple dedicated to the sage Prashar situated on its bank. It contains a floating island.

History 
The lake was considered sacred by the sage  Parashara, who meditated here. The temple was built in the 14th century by Raja Ban Sen of Mandi in honor of the sage and thus, considering the Himachali architecture, the lake was named after him.

Details
The lake is located at an elevation of  above sea level.  With deep blue waters, the lake is held sacred to the sage Parashar and he is regarded to have meditated there. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks and looking down on the fast flowing river Beas, the lake can be approached from Mandi or from Bajaura in Kullu Valley.  Both routes are .  There is a round, floating island in the lake, which is a common natural phenomenon found all around the world. It is composed of plant matter in various stages of decomposition, and is held afloat by the oxygen in its plants' roots. The floating island moves in all directions in the lake. The floating island covers 7% of the area of the lake.

The temple was built in the thirteenth century and legend has it was built by a baby from a single tree.  Until now no one has determined the depth of Prashar Lake.  It is said that a diver is not able to determine its depth.

Mythology
It is believed that Sage Prashar meditated on the banks of this lake, hence it is named Prashar Lake. Bhima, one of the Pandava brothers, had created the lake, the story says.  After the Kurukshetra / Mahabharat war, the Pandavas were returning with Lord Kamrunag. When they reached this place, Kamrunag loved the tranquil surroundings and decided to live here forever. So, Bheem (the strongest of the lot) rammed his elbow on one of the mountains and created a big dent in the land. This dent became Prashar Lake.

Geography 
Prashar Lake is approximately  by road from the town of Mandi. The maximum depth of the lake remains unknown.

Haystack Mountain is an  mountain summit located in Sublette County of  Wyoming, United States.

Geography 
The mile-long peak is situated in the remote Wind River Range, one mile west of the Continental Divide, and approximately four miles southeast of the Cirque of the Towers. It is set in the Bridger Wilderness, on land managed by Bridger-Teton National Forest. Topographic relief is significant as the northwest aspect rises nearly  above Clear Lake in one-half mile. Neighbors include Schiestler Peak, 1.9 mile to the west, Big Sandy Mountain 1.5 mile north, and East Temple Peak 1.6 mile south. Access is via a half-day hike on the Big Sandy Trail. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into headwaters of the Big Sandy River, which is a tributary of the Green River.

Climate 
According to the Köppen climate classification system, Haystack Mountain is located in an alpine subarctic climate zone with long, cold, snowy winters, and cool to warm summers. Due to its altitude, it receives precipitation all year, as snow in winter, and as thunderstorms in summer.

Climbing 

A partial list of the 17 established climbing routes on Haystack's popular granite walls:

 North Gully – ()
 North Face – (II 5.6) – 1958 – Jack Curtin and John Wells
 Minor Dihedral – (III 5.9) – 1964 – Pete Croff, Phil Fowler, Richard Schori

Hazards

Encountering bears is a concern in the Wind River Range. There are other concerns as well, including bugs, wildfires, adverse snow conditions and nighttime cold temperatures.

Importantly, there have been notable incidents, including accidental deaths, due to falls from steep cliffs (a misstep could be fatal in this class 4/5 terrain) and due to falling rocks, over the years, including 1993, 2007 (involving an experienced NOLS leader), 2015 and 2018.  A 54-year-old climber from Durango fell 400–800 feet to his death from nearby Steeple Peak in 2017. Other incidents include a seriously injured backpacker being airlifted near Squaretop Mountain in 2005, and a fatal hiker incident (from an apparent accidental fall) in 2006 that involved state search and rescue. The U.S. Forest Service does not offer updated aggregated records on the official number of fatalities in the Wind River Range.

In enzymology, an indole-3-acetaldehyde oxidase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

(indol-3-yl)acetaldehyde + H2O + O2  (indol-3-yl)acetate + H2O2

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are (indol-3-yl)acetaldehyde, H2O, and O2, whereas its two products are (indol-3-yl)acetate and H2O2.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the aldehyde or oxo group of donor with oxygen as acceptor.  The systematic name of this enzyme class is (indol-3-yl)acetaldehyde:oxygen oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include indoleacetaldehyde oxidase, IAAld oxidase, AO1, and indole-3-acetaldehyde:oxygen oxidoreductase.  This enzyme participates in tryptophan metabolism.  It has 3 cofactors: FAD, Heme,  and Molybdenum.

The West African banded cobra (Naja savannula) is a species of cobra in the genus Naja that is found in West Africa.

This species was previously thought to be identical to the forest cobra (Naja melanoleuca), but morphological and genetic differences have led to its recognition as a separate species. It differs from Naja melanoleuca and other forest cobras in having a series of 3–8 broad, semi-divided light bands across the anterior body.

Description
Brownish black or black dorsally, with a series of 3–8 broad, cream-coloured crossbands, each partly divided by a narrow black crossband. Midbody dorsal scale rows 19, Ventrals 211–226, subcaudals 67–73. Maximum recorded length 223 cm

Distribution
West Africa: primarily gallery forests in West African savannas and savanna woodlands; recorded from Senegal, Gambia, Guinea, Mali, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Niger, Nigeria, northern Cameroon and southern Chad.
