Prunus virginiana
Chokecherries ("Prunus virginiana"), also known as the bitter-berry, Virginia bird cherry, and western chokecherry, are shrubs or small trees, which grow to around 4.9 m (16 ft 1 in).
Their leaves are oval with coarse, sharp edges. The flowers grow about 38.1–76.2 cm (15–30 in) long in late spring (well after chokecherry leaves appear).

Symsyn
Symsyn is a simple syntax programming language and real time multitasking runtime environment.
Named for its SIMple SYNtax, Symsyn is based on Free Pascal, which is based on Pascal, developed by Niklaus Wirth and named in honor of the French mathematician, philosopher and physicist Blaise Pascal.
Symsyn has a simple syntax and short learning curve. It provides access to functionality found in more sophisticated languages, such as the free version of the Pascal programming language, Free Pascal. The language's primitives, or basics, are Pascal procedures which, in some cases, access the Free Pascal Run Time Library.
These primitives provide the normal testing, arithmetic, move, and string handling capabilities as well as the following additions:
It is extensible, in that it can be extended. Algorithms can be added to the collection of primitives. Many programs can be written in SymSyn. Like most programming languages, SymSyn can say hello to the world.

Ferrosilicon
Ferrosilicon is a combination of iron and silicon. Between 15% and 90% of ferrosilicon is silicon. Ferrosilicon is made by burning sand while there’s iron in the sand. Ferrosilicons that contain the most silicon are made in electric arc furnaces.
Perryite is a rock that is a combination of iron and silicon.
When ferrosilicon is touching water, it may slowly make hydrogen. Ferrosilicon is used by the military to quickly produce hydrogen for balloons. The chemical reaction uses sodium hydroxide, ferrosilicon, and water. The generator is small enough to fit in a truck and needs only a small amount of electric power. The materials are stable and not combustible, and they do not make hydrogen until mixed.
Ferrosilicon is used to get oxygen out of steel. Magnesium is made by combining ferrosilicon with dolomite.
Ferrosilicon is used to make hydrogen in the military.
