Vernalization

Vernalization is something plants do when the weather is cold.  Vernalization is when some plants only sprout from seeds or grow flower buds in the spring if they have spent enough days in the cold.  Some plants need colder temperatures than others.  For example, an apple tree that has not had a cold winter will not form good flowers the next year.  Some plants need more days of cold than others. Biennial and perennial plants (including poaceae) and some trees do this.

2021 United Kingdom census

On 21 March 2021, the decennial 2021 censuses of England and Wales and of Northern Ireland took place. The census of Scotland is planned to take place in 2022.

Changes from 2011 census 
The general style of the questionnaire is similar to that of the 2011 census, although there are some new questions for 2021:

 A question asking if people have served in the armed forces.
 Voluntary question for 16 and over about sexual orientation.
 Voluntary question for 16 and over about whether people feel they are the sex which was on their birth certificate; this is in addition to the compulsory question about their sex.

Amended Legislation 
In Scotland, the Census (Amendment) (Scotland) Act 2019 makes provisions for voluntary questions about transgender status and sexual orientation to be asked. The Census (Return Particulars and Removal of Penalties) Act 2019 makes the same provision for England and Wales. The sexual orientation question will also be asked in Northern Ireland.

On 17 March 2021, the ONS withdrew from the High Court proceedings, conceding that "what is your sex" refers to sex as recognised by the law, and not gender identity.

Scarver was sentenced to two further life sentences for the two killings.

Before the prison murders in 1994, on June 1, 1990, Scarver went to the Wisconsin Conservation Corps training program office and found Steve Lohman, the supervisor who had replaced Edward Patts. Scarver demanded money from Lohman: upon receiving only $15 from Lohman, Scarver shot him in the head. At the same time, he demanded money from site manager John Feyen. According to authorities, Scarver said, "Do you think I'm kidding? I need more money." Scarver shot Lohman twice more before Feyen gave a $3,000 check to Scarver and ran away.

Scarver was convicted and sentenced to life in prison and sent to the Columbia Correctional Institution in Portage, Wisconsin, in 1992.

Kosciuszko National Park

Kosciuszko National Park is a national park in the Australian state of New South Wales, Australia and is the largest national park in New South Wales and the tallest in Australia, home to the highest peak of Australia; Mt. Kosciuszko as well as two famous ski resorts: Thredbo and Perisher. The park gets its name from a Polish-Lithuanian hero called General Tadeusz Kościuszko, which explains the etymology of a name that is rather difficult to pronounce by most Australians.

Climate
The higher regions of the park experience an alpine climate which is quite unusual on mainland Australia. However, only the peaks of the main mountain range are subject to consistent winter snow. The climate station at Charlotte Pass recorded
Australia's lowest temperature of  on 28 June 1994.

Altitude
The point with the highest altitude is the peak of Mt. Kosciuszko at 2228m, and the lowest point of the park is near Khancoban at 337m. The peak is also the tallest point of the mainland Australian continent. However, the tallest peak of Australia, excluding the areas as part of the Australian Antarctic Territory is actually in Mawsons Peak, some 3000km from the capital of Western Australia; Perth.

The Snowy Mountains Hydroelectric Scheme

The Snowy River starts in the park and flows south to Victoria. Many tunnels, dams, generators and other parts of the Snowy Mountains Scheme hydro-electric system are located within Kosciuszko National Park, including the Tantangara Reservoir.

The Snowy Scheme, constructed between 1949 and 1974, is a hydroelectricity and irrigation complex consisting of sixteen major dams; seven power stations; a pumping station; and 225 kilometres of tunnels, pipelines and aqueducts and is the largest engineering project undertaken in Australia. An 8km powerline has been planned through the area.

2020 Olympics
Tsimanouskaya was about to be part of the 2020 Summer Olympics in the 100 m and 200 m events. Belarus and the country's Olympic committee forced her to run in the 4 × 400 m relay race, even though she did not want to. Belarusian sports representatives just did not make enough doping tests for other 4 × 400 m relay race sprinters. But Tsimanouskaya has never run in this event as a sprinter. 

On July 30, 2021, during the Games, she took it to her Instagram and said bad things about the Belarus Olympic Committee. On August 1, 2021, she was taken to Haneda Airport by the representatives of the Belarusian Olympic team against her will. She was forced into taking a flight in Belarus. She was afraid to come back home and did not want to go to Belarus. She contacted  Japanese police in Haneda Airport. Japanese police offered her protection. Then she asked for asylum in Poland. Its embassy in Japan took her in on August 2, 2021.

Public park

A Urban park or a Metropolitan park, also known as a Public park, are parks in cities and other incorporated places to offer recreation and green space to residents of, and visitors to, the municipality.

Common features of municipal parks include playgrounds, gardens, hiking, running and fitness trails or paths, bridle paths, sports fields and courts, public restrooms, boat ramps, and/or picnic facilities, depending on the budget and natural features available. Park advocates claim that having parks near urban residents, including within a 10-Minute Walk, provide multiple benefits.
