It has one or two broad yellowish-white bands running along the length of each leaf.
Natural, entirely green plants are also grown.
The Spider Plant is very easy to spread.
They can be propagated by splitting its main rosette.
It is even easier to remove plantlets from the stolons and plant them separately or put them in a glass of water.
They will grow roots readily in water but establish faster in soil while still attached to the parent plant.
Pinning the plantlet to the soil with a bent paper clip can be helpful.
Make sure the soil is damp and well drained.
The plantlet can then be removed from the parent plant in 7-10 days.

The descendants of Charles II of England,  Stuart monarch of the Kingdom of England, Kingdom of Scotland and Kingdom of Ireland, are numerous; lines of his many illegitimate children exist to this day.
Though Charles's wife Catherine of Braganza was barren, he stayed with her but had numerous mistresses.
Some of Charles's illegitimate children were born before his marriage.
This article deals with the most senior figures who were descended from Charles' illegitimate male children; the names of his daughters are also mentioned.
Although some of Charles' children made claims to the throne, most notably his first son James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth, their illegitimacy meant that after Charles' death, his brother James, Duke of York became king instead.
Over the years several of Charles' senior descendants have made names for themselves, including Augustus FitzRoy, 3rd Duke of Grafton who became Prime Minister of Great Britain, cricket pioneer Charles Lennox, 1st Duke of Richmond, parliamentary reformer Charles Lennox, 3rd Duke of Richmond.
Diana, Princess of Wales was descended from two of Charles' illegitimate sons; Henry Fitzroy, 1st Duke of Grafton and Charles Lennox, 1st Duke of Richmond.
This means should her son Prince William, Duke of Cambridge take to the British throne as he is expected to, William would become the first blood descendant of Charles II to do so.
Though William is part of the royal House of Windsor, rather than the House of Stuart.

Labials or labial consonants are consonants made with the lips.
These sounds are made in two ways.
Bilabial sounds use both lips (for example [p] as in pack).
Labiodental sounds use the lower lip and teeth (for example [f] in food).
Coronal consonants are made with the front part of the tongue.
There are many types of coronal consonants, for example dental consonants and alveolar consonants.
Radical consonants are consonants that are sounded out with the root of the tongue (the back part).
Labiodental consonants are labial consonants made with the bottom lip and the top teeth, like the English letters f as in file and v as in vile.
Dentals or Dental consonants are coronal consonants, meaning they are made by touching the front of the tongue to the upper teeth.
For example, th in the English word thing is a dental consonant written [].

A ticket of leave was an important document given to convicts who had been sent to Australia.
Convicts who were well-behaved were given a ticket of leave.
This gave them some rights, and they did not have to stay in gaol.
With a ticket of leave, a convict was able to look for work in a particular area but could not leave the area without permission from a court.
Every change of employer or district was written on the ticket.
Governor Philip Gidley King started the tickets of leave in 1801.
It gave prisoners a reason to behave themselves.
Also, it helped to provide cheap workers for farmers who were settling in Australia.
The government saved money as it did not have to feed and clothe the prisoners.
Those with a ticket of leave were able to marry or to bring their families from Britain.
They could buy land but not carry guns or get onto a ship.
They were often made to pay back the cost of their travel in the prison ship to Australia.
The ticket of leave had to be renewed every year, and those with one had to attend  (where it could be checked they were still living in the area), and church services.
Prisoners could lose their ticket and be sent back to prison if they were lazy, if they tried to get paid too much, or if they were rude to the police or soldiers.
Sometimes, prisoners who helped the government, by capturing escaped convicts for example, might be given a ticket of leave as a reward.
A convict who kept to the conditions of his ticket of leave was given a conditional pardon after half of the time he was supposed to be in gaol.
Then, they were no longer a convict and could do everything except leave the colony.
Convicts who did not keep to the conditions of their ticket could be arrested without warning, go to court without being able to appeal, and lose all their property.
The ticket
The ticket itself was a highly detailed document.
It listed the convicts' number, the name, the ship in which sent to Australia, the year that they arrived, the captain of the ship, where they came from, their job, the crimes,the place and date of trial, the sentence, the birth date, what they looked like, the area the prisoner was allowed to live in, the court that gave out the ticket, the date the ticket was given, any other conditions of the ticket, and any changes of where they lived.
A lot of this information has been kept, which makes them a very important source of information for people looking at family history.

An anal fissure, or fissura ani, is a fissure (a small tear) in the anal canal.
Patients typically complain of sharp anal pain during and after defecation, lasting minuters or hours.
This small wound can sometimes bleed a little bit during or after defecation.
It's not completely clear what causes an anal fissure.
It is possibly caused by constipation, too much strain on the anal sphincter (the circular muscle of the anus), reduced blood circulation, the skin is not made dry enough after taking a shower or swimming, the skin has been stretched too much, pregnancy, giving birth, and not changing a baby's diaper in time.
After the anal fissure closes, it takes 6 weeks to 3 months before the wound is healed completely.
In this period the fissure easily opens again.
Therefore, the wound can return repeatedly.
A doctor can prescribe several products to treat the anal fissure.
For example, a pain relieving ointment or suppository (an anal medication); a laxative (that makes it easier to go to the toilet); zinc-ointment (this will protect the skin and contract it, so it will heal faster).
Further more a doctor can give advice about taking care of the wound and improve digestion and defecation.
Most fissure are acute, lasting about 4-6 weeks.
The anal fissure becomes chronic and will not go away if it lasts for more than 6 weeks.
In such cases medical surgery can be a solution.
The circular muscle of the anus is usually cut or stretched.
Also an injection with botox in the muscle can have a positive result.
To prevent the fissure to return
The anal fissure can burst open very easily up to 3 months after healing, for example during defecation.
The patient can do several things to reduce the chance that the fissure will return.
The advice includes the following tips.
As long as the fissure is open (a painful, small tear next to the anus which can bleed a little) the patient can put an ointment with zinc oxide (protects and contracts) and pramocaïne (relieves pain and itching) on and around the fissure (in Europe available without prescription as Nestosyl).
Use toilet your finger with a glove to spread out the ointment and wash hands afterward with soap.
This treatment has to be continued for several weeks to reduce the chance that the fissure will open again.
Besides it is very important to have a good digestion and defecation.
The longer the faeces is in the intestine, the more liquid will be withdrawal.
Because of this, the faeces will become harder and get more volume, and that gives more chance that the skin around the anus will crack again.
Patients are advized to eat fibres every day (for example: unpolished rice, muesli, whole grain bread, dried apricots, figs, dates, prunes, saltless nuts, beans, peas, etc.);
to eat the recommended amount of vegetables and fruit every day; to use a little bit of butter or oil every day; to drink enough during the day; and to exercise every day.
The patient needs to avoid food that can cause constipation (possible: white bread, white pasta/pizza/noodles, eggs, cheese, sugar, coffee, chocolate, etc.).
If necessary, one can take enzymes as food supplement with every meal that includes bread.
Patients should not postpone going to the toilet.
While waiting, the faeces will push on the circular muscle of the anus, which causes a pressure.
Besides the faeces can become harder and get more volume after a while.
When the patient feels the urge to go to the toilet, the best thing is to go immediately.
While sitting on the toilet, the patient has to press as little as possible, but instead relax the circular muscle.
As long as the wound is not healed, taking a daily bath with soda (sodium carbonate) can give relief.
Further more that will keep the wound clean.
Sit in a tub filled with a few inches of warm water for 20 minutes, 2 or 3 times a day.
This is called a sitz bath.
It relaxes the tissue and helps relax the anal muscle.
It's very important that the skin around the anus is completely dry before the patients gets dressed.
The slightest moisture in the folding of the skin can be the reason that the skin will get damaged easily.
Some patients benefit by putting simple oil around the anus.
For example, olive oil or sunflower oil.
The skin softens and will not tear or crack as easily.
Always remind hygiene.
If the tips that are mentioned above do not help enough and the fissure continues to crack open, the cause could be the use of toilet paper after defecation.
The paper rubs too strong over the skin and causes the wound to open again.
One can try to use another brand of softer toilet paper, baby wipes, or instead use warm water to clean himself after bowel movement.
These recommendations only make sense if the patient is sure that the problem is an anal fissure.
If there is any doubt, especially when there is blood in the stool, please consult a doctor

The Philippines has varied university grading systems.
Most colleges, universities, particularly public institutions, follow the grade point system scale of 5.00 - 1.00, in which 1.00 is the highest grade and 5.00 is the lowest possible grade.
Grade point scale (5.00 - 1.00)
Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila also employ a specific grading category for retention.
This system uses the General Weighted Average (GWA) per semester as a basis whether or not a particular student shall be retained at the course or college he or she is enrolled to.
Some colleges have higher GWA requirement for retention, but most of them demands a GWA of at least 2.50 per semester.
A few graduate schools, on the other hand, employ the Pass or Fail system.
Datamex Institute of college in Information Technology
Notable exceptions include De La Salle University & FEU-East Asia College, which follow the 1.000 - 4.000 grading system, which patterns those of American universities.
This system uses the 4.0 grade point equivalence as the highest grade, while 0.0 grade point equivalence is considered the lowest possible grade.
0.0 grade point equivalence is considered a failing mark.
The Grading System let's you see the "Grade Range".
This is essential for High School Graduates to know in which Grade Range they are in.

Different universities have varied equivalence range, while passing grades are subject to imposed academic quality of an institution.
The General Weighted Average (GWA) is the average of grades in all subjects taken, whether passed or failed.
It is the result of combining the performance rating based on the screening criteria or subject.

Serial communication is a term used to describe systems used for telecommunications, as well as certain technologies used for computing.
When using serial communication, only one bit is transferred at a time, for example over a communication channel or computer bus.
This is different to parallel communication, where several bits are sent at the same time.
Many computer networks, as well as many lines where data is transferred over a long distance use serial communication.
Examples for serial communication
Morse code signalling
RS-232, a low-speed serial port used on some PCs; RS-423 and RS-485 are variations of this

Newspeak is a concept from the book 1984 by George Orwell.
It is based on English, which is referred to as Oldspeak in the novel, and it is the language that was created by Oceania and is the only language whose vocabulary grows smaller each year.
For example, the word for "bad" becomes "ungood" in Newspeak, becoming a word simply meaning the opposite of "good", with the prefix "un-" meaning "not".
In the novel, this language was designed by Party members as a means to limit human thought to absolute lowest level, that way they would be made to never be able to question whatever the Party tells the society.
The Juncaceae, the rush family, is a family of rather small plants that often look like a type of grass.
They often grow on wet, infertile soils.
There are about 400 species organised into eight genera.
Juncus is the most well-known and largest genus in the Juncaceae family.
Rushes are found all around the world.
They are commonly found in wet marshy areas, as the plant prefers moist soil.
However, seedlings can survive dormant once well established even in the driest of places.
Seeds spread by water or birds and other animals.
They can live for up to 50 years lying dormant in droughts.
Rushes is a basic food of many animal diets.
They are also used as bedding and nesting material for many different types of birds and mammals.
Rushes have been used throughout history by humans for various purposes such as weaving matts, medicine and animal feed.
Today they are still used in some places for making sleeping mats but are mostly used as a decorative plant around ponds.
