Featured by the BBC is a tree on the island of New Caledonia, Pycnandra acuminata, which grows on soil rich in nickel.
Many different plants do this in several different plant families.
Several gene families are involved in hyperaccumulation including absorbing and storing heavy metals.
The genes most usually involved are the ZIP gene family.
These genes code for membrane receptors for the transport of, for example, zinc molecules.
These hyperaccumulation genes (HA genes) are found in over 450 plant species, including the model organisms Arabidopsis and the Brassicaceae.
Expression of HA genes allows the plant to uptake and sequester metals such as As, Co, Fe, Cu, Cd, Pb, Hg, Se, Mn, Zn, Mo and Ni in 100–1000 times the concentration found in sister species or populations.
In computer programming, a subroutine is a code that is comprised of more codes — just like everything in programming — its purpose is the same: execute an instruction/command.
Because subroutines are shorter, they can be typed faster and therefore be used more by programmers, hence saving time by being able to code faster.

Fear: Trump in the White House is a book by American Watergate journalist Bob Woodward.
The book explains the operations in the Trump White House and quotes important members of the administration including John F. Kelly as "hiding key information from the president in order that he doesn't make impulsive decisions".
It also says United States Secretary of Defense James Mattis called the president a "fifth or fourth grader".
On the 5th of September 2018, President Donald Trump called the book "a con on the public" and said that it had untrue information.
White House Chief of Staff also released a statement saying "he is committed to the president".
When the book was leaked by the Washington Post, White House Chief of staff John F. Kelly released a statement saying he "never called the president an idiot".
Head of student council
The heads of the student council are mostly two pupils who are contact persons for the principal, teachers, students and parents.
They represent the interests of all pupils and are in contact with the principal (monthly conversations).
Also, they tell teachers about the students’ requests and complaints and try to solve problems.
The head of the student council is automatically a member of the student council and convenes their meetings.
They are also the leader of these meetings.
The head of the student council is responsible for the spreading of information and they have to put the decisions of the student council into practice.
But they can also put their own ideas, which they have suggested in their election program, into reality.
Student council
This means that the student representatives work for the interests of the students and bring them to the school management.
Specifically, the student representatives have a right to be heard by the school management if the pupils have any concerns.
These concerns may include suggestions for improvement in classroom teaching, conflicts with the teaching staff or organizational issues, or any other concerns.
The student representatives should take care that not every issue has to be reported directly to the school management.
Many problems can also be solved by talking directly to the participants.
Another important task of the student representation is to form working groups and to take over the planning of school projects.
For example, if student representatives decide to collect money for an improvement at school, they may set up a committee to organize a sponsorship run or a charity concert.
Every student council has a head with mostly two pupils.
Every year pupils can volunteer to stand for election.
They have to present their election program.
In the election program the candidates present their goals for the school year to the other pupils.
All pupils take part in the election and elect the new head of the student council.
The other part of the student council are the class speakers.
They are elected by their class mates.
All class speakers are automatically in the student council.
Student councils in different countries
The purpose of the student council is to improve their school by encouraging social and cultural events and also events outside of school.
The student councils are governed by a management which is either elected directly or by the student council.
Since 1998 in Ireland there has been constant evolution of student councils in primary schools.
Schools and staff assist the creation of the student council.
Secondary high schools and vocational schools in Finland have student councils.
They include all the students of the institution, but their status is not very important.
The act demands that they should be heard in all matters connected to the education in the institution, but this is often not done.
Most Spanish universities have student councils which are regulated by law, however schools don’t have any.
Some of the basic points are the 24% of student representation in the board.
The council is elected by universal assent of the students.
In Wales a student council, often called different names, is required in every kind of school.
The Council has to meet regularly.
The head of the students is elected by the students.

Business writing is a form of professional communication that typically consists of memorandums, emails, letters, and other documents.
Usually found within a work environment, business writing helps employees communicate efficiently.
Business writing is also used for communication with outside sources such as other companies or customers.
The goal of business writing is to clearly define to your audience what you are trying to portray.
Based on what kind of audience you are writing to, (boss, coworkers, customers, other companies) certain formats will be expected.
Your audience also dictates the content of the document and its tone.
In most cases, a professional tone is expected although in some instances, such as with coworkers a more casual tone can be used.

Doxing is the process of finding out, digging for or uncovering personal information on a person, group, organization or corporate entity, compiling it in an organized format and posting it online.
The end result of doxing is a dox.
Doxes are often shared to incite harassment, intimidation, and/or violent acts toward their victims.
It can be used to help police or to assist criminals.
Typically, a person is doxed for revenge-based reasons, motivating the person who is wronged or who has perceived a wrong to humiliate and expose their target.
Doxing is legal in all 50 U.S. states, only if the information is gathered from public websites, is public knowledge and does not contain private information such as SSNs or cell phone numbers.
Doxing was originally started, back in the 1980s to 1990s, by black-hat hackers and penetration testers of the time to silence and/or intimate their hacker rivals in the BBS and internet communities.
Doxing is a form of vigilantism and many instances of doxing have led to swatting, years of harassment, people having to move out of their homes and change their phone numbers.
Being doxed will also make you more vulnerable to identity theft.
In the present day, specifically in the United States, doxing is used as a method of political dissent and political attack, primarily by left-leaning people against those with Conservative leanings.
Doxing as well as deplatforming have become an integral part of "Cancel Culture."
Affricates are consonants that are said with a stop with a fricative immediately afterwards.
For example, the 'ch' sound in English (written as /t͡ʃ/ in IPA) is said with an 't' (/t/)  sound with an 'sh' (/ʃ/) sound immediately afterwards.
Both voiced and voiceless affricates exist; in English, they are /d͡ʒ/ (the 'j' sound) and t͡ʃ (the 'ch' sound) respectively.
Aspiration is a feature in languages where saying a consonant gives out a puff of air.
For example, if you dangle a piece of paper in front of your mouth, you will see it move if you say an aspirated, or breathy, consonant.
If the paper does not move, then it is unaspirated, or not breathy.
In English, voiceless stops and fricatives that happen at the beginning of a word are aspirated, which are the sounds 'p', 't', 'k', and 'ch' (which are written as /p/, /t/, /k/, /t͡ʃ/ in IPA in the same order).
In IPA, aspirated sounds can be written with an ʰ symbol afterwards, as in /pʰ/, /tʰ/, /kʰ/, and /t͡ʃʰ/. For example, the first sound in the words "pick", "tick", "kick", and "chick" are all aspirated.
In IPA, they are written as /pʰɪk/, /tʰɪk/, /kʰɪk/, and /t͡ʃʰɪk/ in the same order.
However, voiceless stops and fricatives that appear after the first sound are unaspirated.
For example, while the /p/ in "pit" is aspirated, the /p/ in "spit" and the /p/ in "tip" are not, so they would not be marked with an ʰ symbol afterwards.
Below are more examples of aspiration.
English has no aspirated voiced sounds, but Hindi does.
They are normally written with an 'h' after the consonant letter.
An example of this is the name Bhattacharya, in which 'bh' is an aspirated 'b' sound, so it would be written as /bʱ/ in IPA.
In Mandarin Chinese, there are no voiced stops, fricatives, or affricates, so the only way to tell them apart is by aspiration.
In Pinyin, aspirated sounds are written like voiceless sounds in English, so the sounds /pʰ/, /tʰ/, and /kʰ/ are written as 'p', 't', and 'k' in the same order, but unaspirated sounds are written like voiced sounds in English, so the sounds /p/, /t/, and /k/ are written as 'b', 'd', and 'g' respectively.
For example, the word "Gaokao" would be written in IPA as /kau̯.kʰau̯/. In Wade-Giles spelling, aspirated stops, fricatives, or affricates are written with an apostrophe after the letter instead of using a different letter like in Pinyin, so "Gaokao" would be written as "Kaok'ao" in Wade-Giles.
The National Higher Education Entrance Examination, or the Gaokao, is the People's Republic of China's national-level university entrance exam.
All high school students in China must take the Gaokao in their last year of school, and much of their time in high school is spent preparing to take the exam.
Like many other Asian countries, such as Japan, South Korea, and India, the Gaokao has been well-known internationally for being a very difficult exam because many students do not get a high enough score to attend university in China.
The required subjects are mathematics, Chinese and English, and the full score of each three subjects is 150 points.
For the remaining subjects, there are two choices: the liberal arts comprehensive are history, geography and politics, with a score of 100 for each subject; The science subjects include physics, chemistry and biology, with 100 points for each subject.
Students are allowed to choose between science and liberal arts based on their level of study, and each student scored a maximum of 750.
Although two kinds of choice means brought the power that examinee learns, but in China, the obtain employment of liberal arts living is more difficult than science living, the score of the university entrance exam also is lower than science living, so the examinee that chooses science department is much more than the examinee that chooses liberal arts.
In the national college entrance examination in June 2018, 9.75 million people took the exam, which shows the great pressure of competition.
It is a pity that many people are ruined on their way to university just because of one failure in the exam.
One of the disadvantages of Chinese education is that it only takes one exam to select talents.
However, because there are too many references, the nation can only select talents through examinations.
Facts have proved that this selection method still has some merits.

The Law of the minimum, also called Liebig's law of the minimum, is a law about the growth of plants.
Its states that the growth of a plant is limited by the resource, which is most scarce, and nor by the total amount of resources available.
The law has also been used to predict the growth of populations.
Dobenecks used the image of a barrel — often called "Liebig's barrel" — to explain Liebig's law.
In a barrel, with staves of unequal length, the capacity of the barrel is determined by the shortest stave.
This is also true for the growth of a  plant: it is limited by the nutrient in shortest supply.
If a system satisfies the law of the minimum then adaptation will equalize the load of different factors because the adaptation resource will be allocated for compensation of limitation.
Adaptation systems act as the cooper of Liebig's barrel and lengthens the shortest stave to improve barrel capacity.
Indeed, in well-adapted systems the limiting factor should be compensated as far as possible.
This observation follows the concept of resource competition and fitness maximization.
Due to the law of the minimum paradoxes, if we observe the Law of the Minimum in artificial systems, then under natural conditions adaptation will equalize the load of different factors and we can expect a violation of the law of the minimum.
Inversely, if artificial systems demonstrate significant violation of the law of the minimum, then we can expect that under natural conditions adaptation will compensate this violation.
In a limited system life will adjust as an evolution of what came before.
