Mussel 
 The freshwater mussels (several allied families, the largest being the Unionidae) and saltwater mussels (family Mytilidae) are not closely related, despite the fact that they may look similar.
Mussel 
 The freshwater Zebra mussels and their relatives (family Dreissenidae) live attached to rocks in a manner similar to marine mussels, but are classified with the Heterodonta, the taxonomic group including most bivalves referred to as "clams".
Gastropoda 
 Slugs and snails, abalones, limpets, cowries, conches, top shells, whelks, and sea slugs are all gastropods.
Gastropoda 
 Many lines living today evolved in the Mesozoic era, taking advantage of the huge supply of food on the sea floor.
Gastropoda 
 Most members have a shell, which is in one piece and coiled or spiralled; it usually opens on the right hand side (viewed with the shell apex pointing up).
Gastropoda 
 The best-known gastropods are land slugs and snails, but more than half of all species live in a marine environment.
Gastropoda 
 Marine gastropods include herbivores, detritus feeders, carnivores and a few ciliary feeders, in which the radula is reduced or absent.
Gastropoda 
 The simplest gastropods are the limpets and abalones, both herbivores that use their hard radulas to rasp at seaweeds on rocks.
Gastropoda 
 Many marine gastropods are burrowers and have siphons or tubes that extend from the mantle and sometimes the shell.
Gastropoda 
 These act as snorkels, enabling the animal to continue to draw in a water current containing oxygen and food into their bodies.
Gastropoda 
 This may be either as a warning if they are poisonous or to camouflage them on the corals and seaweeds where many of them live.
Gastropoda 
 Nudibranchs with smooth or warty backs have no visible gill mechanisms and respiration may take place directly through the skin.
Gastropoda 
 The taxonomy of the Gastropoda is under constant revision: two major revisions have been published in the last twenty years.
Gastropoda 
 According to modern cladism, the taxonomy of the Gastropoda should be written in terms of strictly monophyletic groups.
Gastropoda 
 But there are differences between the older groupings got from morphology, and those based on genome sequences.
Gastropoda 
 Commonly, fossil gastropods from the rocks of the early Palaeozoic era are too poorly preserved for accurate identification.
Gastropoda 
 By the Carboniferous period many of the shapes seen in living gastropods can be matched in the fossil record.
Gastropoda 
 Despite these similarities in appearance, the majority of these older forms are not directly related to living forms.
Gastropoda 
 One of the earliest known terrestrial (land-dwelling) gastropods is Maturipupa which is found in the Coal Measures of the Carboniferous period in Europe.
Gastropoda 
 In the case of the common fossil Bellerophon, from Carboniferous limestones in Europe, it is not known whether it is a gasropod or not.
Gastropoda 
 In rocks of the Mesozoic era gastropods are more common as fossils and their shell is often well preserved.
Gastropoda 
 The Purbeck Marble of the Jurassic period and the Sussex Marble of the early Cretaceous, which both occur in southern England, are limestones containing the tightly packed remains of the pond snail Viviparus.
Gastropoda 
 The diversity of the gastropods increased markedly at the beginning of this era, along with that of the bivalves.
Gastropoda 
 Gastropods are one of the groups that record the changes in fauna caused by the advance and retreat of the Ice Sheets during the Pleistocene epoch.
Limpet 
 The name Limpet is used for many marine and freshwater gastropod species which have a simple conical shell.
Limpet 
 They attach themselves using mucus and a muscular "foot", which seals them against the rock and protects them from desiccation during low tide, and from high-energy waves action.
Limpet 
 Some key-hole limpets have a hole at the top, through which gas exchange can occur (they are not true limpets).
Limpet 
 There are many limpets in the Paleozoic fossil record, from the lower Cambrian, but none can be placed with certainty in the Patellogastropoda.
Limpet 
 The earliest patellogastropod verified by shell microstructure is from the Triassic of Italy, but it is in the Upper Cretaceous and Cainozoic periods that many of the living forms make their first appearance.
Limpet 
 Some species of limpets return to the same spot on the rock known as a "home scar" just before the tide ebbs.
Limpet 
 In such species, the shape of their shell often grows to precisely match the contours of the rock surrounding the scar.
Limpet 
 Where the limpets eat the algae, off bare rocks, it causes places where other organisms can grow and thrive.
Limpet 
 They push other organisms out of this patch by ramming with their shell, allowing their patch of algae to grow for their own grazing.
Limpet 
 They have a two main defences; fleeing (letting go in the water) or clamping their shells against the surface they are on.
Limpet 
 The defence response can be adjusted to the type of predator, which can often be detected chemically by the limpet.
Limpet 
 Limpets found on sheltered shores (limpets that are less frequently in contact with wave action, and thus less frequently in contact with water) have a greater risk of desiccation because of the effects of sunlight, water evaporation and the wind.
Limpet 
 To avoid drying out they will clamp to the rock they inhabit, minimizing water-loss from the rim around their base.
Limpet 
 Limpets are hermaphrodites (producing both male and female reproductive cells) and undergo sex change during life.
Limpet 
 Spawning occurs once a year, usually during winter, and is triggered by rough seas which disperse the eggs and sperm.
Abalone 
 The meat of this shellfish is thought to be delicious in some parts of Latin America (especially Chile), South East Asia, and East Asia (especially in China, Japan, and Korea).
Abalone 
 Abalones live all over the world, They can be seen along the waters of every continent, except the Atlantic coast of South America, the Caribbean, and the East Coast of the United States.
Abalone 
 Most abalones are found in cold waters, along the coasts of New Zealand, South Africa and Australia, and Western North America and Japan in the Northern Hemisphere.
Abalone 
 In the Chilean Pacific coast, the species called loco (Concholepas concholepas) has a hard, black shell, and is eaten by many people.
Abalone 
 Allergic skin reactions and asthma attacks can happen when breathing the dust made when these tiles are broken down.
Abalone 
 The colorful inside part of the abalone shell can be used for decorative inlays, in guitars, for example.
Abalone 
 Sport harvesting of red abalone is allowed with a California fishing license and an abalone stamp card.
Abalone 
 There is a size minimum of seven inches measured across the shell and a limit of three per day and 24 per year that can be taken.
Abalone 
 Abalone may only be taken in April, May, June, August, September, October and November, but they may not be taken in July, December, January, February or March.
Abalone 
 An eight-inch abalone is considered a good catch, a nine-inch would be very good, and a ten-inch plus (250 mm) abalone would be an excellent catch.
Abalone 
 Rock- or shore-picking is a different method from diving where the rock picker feels below rocks during low tides for abalone.
Abalone 
 There has been a trade in diving to catch abalones off parts of the United States coast from before 1939.
Abalone 
 In World War II, many of these abalone divers were recruited into the United States armed forces and trained as frogmen.
Abalone 
 In New Zealand, where abalone is called pāua in the Māori language, this can be a particular problem.
Abalone 
 Pāua 'poaching' is a major industry in New Zealand with many thousands of abalones being taken illegally, mostly undersized.
Abalone 
 Convictions have caused removal of diving gear, boats and motor vehicles as well as fines and in rare cases; imprisonment.
Abalone 
 The Ministry of Fisheries expects in the year 2004/05, nearly 1000 tons of pāua will be poached, with 75% of that being undersized.
Abalone 
 Highly polished New Zealand pāua shells are extremely popular as gifts with their striking blue, green and purple iridescence.
Abalone 
 The largest abalone in South Africa, Haliotis midae, can be found along about two-thirds of the country’s coastline.
Abalone 
 Abalone-diving has been a recreational activity for many years, but stocks are currently being threatened by illegal commercial harvesting.
Abalone 
 Ormers (Haliotis tuberculata) are considered a delicacy in the Channel Islands and are looked after with great eagerness by the locals.
Abalone 
 Unfortunately, this has led to a huge decrease in numbers since the second half of the 19th century, and 'ormering' is now strictly regulated in order to keep stocks.
Abalone 
 The taking of ormers is now restricted to a number of 'ormering tides', from the January 1 to April 30, which happen on the full or new moon and two days after that.
Abalone 
 The demand for ormers is so big that it started the world's first underwater arrest, when Mr. Kempthorne-Leigh of Guernsey was arrested by a police officer in full diving gear while illegally diving for ormers.
Abalone 
 White Abalone are going extinct because of their delicious tender meat, jewlery, and beautiful shell.
Abalone 
 There have been a number of attempts to artificially grow (farm) abalone for the purpose of consumption.
Shellfish 
 Shellfish is a culinary term for some aquatic invertebrates used as food: molluscs, crustaceans, and echinoderms.
Shellfish 
 Edible cephalopods such as squid, octopus, and cuttlefish and terrestrial snails, though all molluscs, are sometimes considered to be shellfish and sometimes not.
Shellfish 
 Jewish and Islamic dietary laws forbid the eating of shellfish (those that live on the land, and in the water).

Alban Berg 
 All three composers in their own way changed the style of musical composition in the early 20th century.
Alban Berg 
 They grew up at a time when most composers were still writing Romantic music, but Schoenberg and his pupils started to write atonal music (music which is not in any key) and then twelve-tone music in which all 12 notes in an octave are of the same importance.
Alban Berg 
 Although Berg wrote a lot of twelve-tone music he still managed to make it sound quite Romantic at times, more so than Schoenberg or Webern.
Alban Berg 
 His family had plenty of money, but when Berg’s father died in 1900 life became much harder for them.
Alban Berg 
 He was interested in music, played the piano and had started to compose, but he had not done well enough in his school exams to get into the music conservatory.
Alban Berg 
 Two years later, his mother inherited some money, and Berg was then able to give up his unpaid job and concentrate on music.
Alban Berg 
 Schoenberg taught him harmony, counterpoint and music theory, all the things one needs to know to compose well.
Alban Berg 
 He also liked themes which are heard upside down, or palindromes, where the tune sounds the same forwards as backwards.
Alban Berg 
 He liked the modern theatre and the political works of the playwright Bertolt Brecht and the composer Kurt Weill.
Alban Berg 
 Berg was very grateful to Schoenberg for all that he had learned from him, but he still continued to be quite afraid of him.
Alban Berg 
 Schoenberg wrote many letters to him asking him to do things for him (e.g. making piano arrangements of his orchestral pieces) and often criticising him.
Alban Berg 
 Only in the 1920s, when Berg had become well-known, did Schoenberg start writing to him more like an equal friend.
Alban Berg 
 It gave him more money which, together with a little teaching, allowed him to spend most of his time composing.
Alban Berg 
 Wozzeck has a little twelve tone music in it, but in his next works the twelve tone system is much more important.
Alban Berg 
 He wrote Lyrical Suite for String Quartet and a Kammerkonzert (Chamber Concerto) in which the form is made up by mathematical rules.
Alban Berg 
 These are like secret codes and, in later years, musicians have spent a lot of time trying to work out what Berg was trying to do.
Alban Berg 
 People thought the play was obscene, but it still became very popular, especially after 1918 when there was no more censorship in Germany.
Alban Berg 
 When he heard about the sad death from poliomyelitis of a young girl he knew called Manon Gropius, he dedicated the concerto to her memory.
Alban Berg 
 The third act was only sketched in short score (showing the main notes, but not exactly what each instrument plays).
Alban Berg 
 When the opera was first performed, Act III was just acted out in mime while some other music by Berg was played.
Alban Berg 
 Berg’s widow Helene did not want anyone else to finish the opera, so Act III was never performed until after Helene died in 1976.
Alban Berg 
 It was finished by Friedrich Cerha and performed in 1977, although a court action had tried to stop it from being performed.
Herefordshire 
 Herefordshire (known as County of Herefordshire) is a county  in the West Midlands region of England.
Herefordshire 
 It borders the English counties of Shropshire to the north, Worcestershire to the east, Gloucestershire to the south east and the Welsh counties of Gwent to the south west and Powys to the west.
Herefordshire 
 Historically, the Rivers Wye and Lugg were navigable but the wide seasonal variations in water levels mean that few craft larger than canoes and coracles are now used.
Herefordshire 
 There are canoe centres at The Boat House, Glasbury-on-Wye, the Hereford Youth Service  and Kerne Bridge  Ross-on-Wye, as well as a rowing club in Hereford.
Herefordshire 
 The early nineteenth century saw the construction of two canals, The Hereford & Gloucester Canal and The Leominster &  Stourport Canal but these were never successful and there are now few remains to be seen.
Conch 
 Living true conch species include the Queen Conch, Strombus gigas, and the West Indian Fighting Conch (Strombus pugilis).
Conch 
 Strombus gigas is included in Appendix II of the UNEP's CITES list of endangered species and international trade is heavily restricted.
Conch 
 Depending on species (or aberrant growth patterns), shell growth can be sinistral (left-handed) or dextral (right-handed).
Conch 
 Conches have long eye stalks, a long and narrow aperture, and a siphonal canal with an indentation near the anterior end.
Conch 
 Conches have a characteristic leaping motion, using their pointed, sickle-shaped, horny operculum to propel themselves forward.
Conch 
 The animal inside the shell is eaten, either raw, as in salads, or cooked, as in fritters, chowders, gumbos, and burgers.
Conch 
 In classic Mayan art, conches are shown being utilized in many ways including as paint and ink holders for elite scribes, as bugle or trumpet, and as hand weapons (held by combatants by inserting their hands in the aperture).
Conch 
 In some countries, cleaned Queen Conch (Strombus gigas) shells or polished fragments are sold, mainly to tourists, as souvenirs or in jewelry.
Conch 
 Conch shells are occasionally used as a building material, either in place of bricks or as bulk for landfill.
Conch 
 Conch shells are sometimes made into crude bugles by removing the small tip of the shell to form a mouthpiece.
Conch 
 While lacking the range capabilities and tonal quality of brass instruments, the conch shell is still an interesting instrument to play.
Conch 
 Most shells will only naturally play one note, but with pitch manipulations, multiple sounds can be achieved.
Conch 
 It is sometimes found in classical works, such as the symphony piece "La Noche de Los Mayas", or "Night of the Mayas", which was premiered in 1939 with Jacob Watkins on percussion and conch.
Conch 
 The God of Preservation, Vishnu, is said to hold a special conch, Panchajanya, that represents life as it has come out of life-giving waters.
Conch 
 The warriors of ancient India would blow conch shells to announce battle, such as is famously represented in the beginning of the war of Kurukshetra in the Mahabharata, the famous Hindu epic.
Conch 
 To this very day, many Hindus use the conch as a part of their religious practices, blowing it during worship at specific points, accompanied by ceremonial bells.
Conch 
 When Roger, Jack's lieutenant, smashes the shell, it is a sign that civilized order has collapsed and Jack's domination has begun.
Gloucestershire 
 The county includes part of the Cotswold Hills, part of the flat fertile valley of the River Severn, and the entire Forest of Dean.
Gloucestershire 
 The county town is Gloucester, and other principal towns include Cheltenham, Stroud, Cirencester, and Tewkesbury.
Gloucestershire 
 Gloucestershire borders the county of Gwent in Wales, and in England the counties of Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Oxfordshire, Wiltshire, Somerset and Bristol.
Gloucestershire 
 This is a chart of trend of regional gross value added of Gloucestershire at current basic prices published (pp.240-253) by Office for National Statistics with figures in millions of British Pounds Sterling.
Cowry 
 Shell sizes range from 5 mm (1/5") for some tropical species to 15 cm (6") for the tiger cowry, Cypraea tigris.
Cowry 
 Some octopuses can gouge a small hole (using a special barb/tooth and an acidic secretion) through the shell to inject a venom that kills the animal within.
Cowry 
 For nearly 200 years, every species in the family Cypraeidae was placed in one genus, Cypraea, but in 2002  the cowries were divided into many different genera.
Cowry 
 Cypraea moneta) were used as a currency in Africa (Ghanaian cedi in Ghana named after cowry shells) and elsewhere, such as in China where the shell or copies of the shell were in theory used as a means of exchange.
Cowry 
 They are also worn as jewelry or otherwise used as ornaments or charms, as they are viewed as symbols of womanhood, fertility, birth and wealth.
Cowry 
 Cowry shells are sometimes used in a way similar to dice, e.g., in board games like Pachisi, or in divination (cf.
Cowry 
 A number of shells (6 or 7 in Pachisi) are thrown, with those landing aperture upwards indicating the actual number rolled.
Cowry 
 Cowries have also been used in the recent past as a frame over which sock heels were stretched for darning.
Cowry 
 The Ojibway aboriginal people in North America used the cowry shells in ceremonies, and the Whiteshell Provincial Park in Manitoba, Canada is named after this type of shell.
