There are bolsters built in to prop your legs up and there is space on either side of these bolsters for your legs if you want to flip over on your knees. It inflates into this lounger (a foot pump is provided to blow it up) which holds the thrusting motor exactly where you need it. That’s where inflatable toys like Dark Magic come in. They tend to be fairly big and rigid, like the Autofuk (chef-kiss on that name), and while big and rigid aren’t normally a bad thing when it comes to thrusting toys, you’ve got to have space for them and they don’t easily fold up to be stuck in a drawer. ![]() These types of machines, and there are a lot of them, aren’t always easy to store. The Dark Magic Inflatable Thrusting Machine looks like it could be a simple inflatable lounger with really good leg support–that is until you notice the remote control that controls motor thrusting toys for a realistic experience while you’re going solo.

![]() ![]() Manta features a dual station configuration, which allows two trains to be loaded at the same time, thus increasing the ride's capacity. ![]() SeaWorld began previewing the attraction in early May 2009, before it was officially opened on May 22. The ride's layout was completed in December 2008, and construction on other parts of the roller coaster continued into early 2009. Superior Rigging & Erection built the supports and track. On May 29, 2008, park officials confirmed that the attraction would be named Manta, and announced additional details about the attraction.Ĭonstruction of the roller coaster track and attraction buildings began in September 2008. Searches of trademark applications uncovered an entry for the use of the term "Manta" as an amusement ride, and construction on a large site within the park had already begun. Joseph Couceiro-vice president of sales and marketing-described the ride as "the next generation SeaWorld attraction" that would immerse guests in elements of marine life.Īrtists' concepts of the new attraction were leaked onto the Internet in April 2008 however, SeaWorld officials would not confirm whether the images were accurate representations of the final design, but said that the roller coaster would have a gliding sensation. ![]() The park also announced that the attraction would include a roller coaster, but that it would be more than just a roller coaster. The exact specifications were not immediately revealed, but the park said it would be their largest single investment in an attraction, and that it would open sometime in 2009. SeaWorld Orlando revealed the concept that was to become Manta to a gathering of travel industry representatives and community leaders on April 2, 2008, although it had been in the planning stages for years. The well-received attraction officially opened to the public on May 22, 2009. Designed by Swiss firm Bolliger & Mabillard, Manta restrains riders in the prone position and features four inversions. The attraction allows guests to encounter numerous species of ray before boarding a manta ray-shaped train that takes them on a 3,359-foot-long (1,024 m) roller coaster ride above the park, reaching top speeds of 56 miles per hour (90 km/h).

Botrytis blight, also known as gray mold, is a problem in strawberries. Mechanical control of multiflora rose is difficult because all roots must be removed. Proper hygiene by removing the plant debris within then beds and sanitizing the harvesting tools Multiflora rose is a bush which can form large thickets in pastures and fencerows.Maintain proper aeration within the plants to prevent fungal development.Ensure the plant canopies are dry to prevent the development of the fungus.INSIGHT: The fungus stay in plant debris or soil when the conditions are unfavorable and attacks the plant when favorable conditions prevail. Under severe attacks stems may be attacked and results in complete plant dieback.This speck occurs due to reaction of the flower to the fungal attack. Red/pink spotted flower petals tips and edges are the initial stages of the attack. ![]() This disease vastly affects the flower vase life as it results to total decay of the flowers in vase. The disease starts in the farm and may continue to develop while the flower is under storage or transportation. The disease is promoted by high humidity conditions hence most common during the cool and wet weather and in the high altitude growing areas. In the European Market which is the major destination for Kenyan Flowers head botrytis is regarded as one of the major destructive diseases. Botrytis mostly affects the rose blooms and rarely leaves. Use effective fungicides in rotation for optimum Botrytis management that will slow the development of resistance.This is disease is caused by several strains of botrytis cinerea which is a parasitic or saprophytic organism hence relies on a susceptible host for food. The fungus is commonly resistant to thiophanate-methyl (3336, 6672 and Fungo) and is often partially resistant to dicarboximides (Chipco 26019, Vorlan). Fungicide resistance is reported for Botrytis. Chemical Controlįungicides may be required under some greenhouse conditions, especially with highly susceptible crops such as exacum, geranium, poinsettia, and fuchsia. All old blossoms and dead leaves should be removed, and all fallen leaves and plant debris on or under the benches should be gathered and burned. Because the fungus readily attacks old or dead tissues and produces tremendous quantities of airborne spores, the importance of strict sanitation cannot be overemphasized. ![]() Bioenvironmental Controlīecause high humidity is required for spore production and actual condensation is necessary for spore germination and infection, Botrytis can usually be controlled under glass by avoiding splashing and by heating and ventilating to prevent any condensation on the plant surfaces. Petals shed from crops in hanging baskets may encourage Botrytis leaf infections on the crops listed below. Active, healthy tissues, other than petals, are seldom invaded. Only tender tissues (seedlings, petals), weakened tissues (stubs left in taking cuttings, tissues infected by powdery mildew), injured tissues (bases of cuttings), or old and dead tissues are attacked on most crops. ![]() The spores will not germinate and produce new infections, however, except when in contact with water, whether from splashing, condensation, or exudation. Spores of Botrytis are produced on distinctive dark-colored, hairlike sporophores and are readily dislodged and carried by air currents to new plant surfaces. The fungus is usually identified by the development of fuzzy grayish spore masses over the surface of the rotted tissues, although such sporulation will not develop under dry conditions. As a result of Botrytis infection, very small seedlings can be rotted stems of poinsettia, snapdragon, zinnia, exacum, or lisianthus can be girdled and petal tissues of many plants, including carnations, chrysanthemums, roses, azaleas, and geraniums, can be spotted and ruined. It commonly attacks the stems of geranium stock plants and wounds on cuttings. The fungus causes a brown rotting and blighting of affected tissues. In this section, find information on plant disease identification and control, including rot, freeze damage, rust, blight, mold, scales. Preventing and controlling plant diseases is key to growing healthy plants.

Īlthough the Athenians were among the first to worship Heracles as a god, there were Greek cities that refused to recognize the hero's divine status. A very small island close to the island of Lemnos was called Neai (Νέαι), from νέω which means I dive/swim, because Heracles swam there. Several ancient cities were named Heraclea in his honor. A reassessment of Ptolemy's descriptions of the island of Malta attempted to link the site at Ras ir-Raħeb with a temple to Heracles, but the arguments are not conclusive. ![]() What is believed to be an Egyptian Temple of Heracles in the Bahariya Oasis dates to 21 BCE. The ancient Greeks celebrated the festival of the Heracleia, which commemorated the death of Heracles, on the second day of the month of Metageitnion (which would fall in late July or early August). Īncient critics were aware of the problem of the aside that interrupts the vivid and complete description, in which Heracles recognizes Odysseus and hails him, and some modern critics deny that the verse's beginning, in Fagles' translation His ghost I mean ., was part of the original composition: "once people knew of Heracles' admission to Olympus, they would not tolerate his presence in the underworld", remarks Friedrich Solmsen, noting that the interpolated verses represent a compromise between conflicting representations of Heracles. Scattering left and right in horror as on he came like night . In the grand feasts of the deathless gods on high .Īround him cries of the dead rang out like cries of birds His ghost I mean: the man himself delights This created an awkwardness in the encounter with Odysseus in the episode of Odyssey XI, called the Nekuia, where Odysseus encounters Heracles in Hades:Īnd next I caught a glimpse of powerful Heracles. Heracles' role as a culture hero, whose death could be a subject of mythic telling (see below), was accepted into the Olympian Pantheon during Classical times. It is possible that the myths surrounding Heracles were based on the life of a real person or several people whose accomplishments became exaggerated with time. The core of the story of Heracles has been identified by Walter Burkert as originating in Neolithic hunter culture and traditions of shamanistic crossings into the netherworld. Heracles was both hero and god, as Pindar says heros theos at the same festival sacrifice was made to him, first as a hero, with a chthonic libation, and then as a god, upon an altar: thus he embodies the closest Greek approach to a " demi-god". Heracles was the greatest of Hellenic chthonic heroes, but unlike other Greek heroes, no tomb was identified as his. His figure, which initially drew on Near Eastern motifs such as the lion-fight, was widely known. Many popular stories were told of his life, the most famous being The Twelve Labours of Heracles Alexandrian poets of the Hellenistic age drew his mythology into a high poetic and tragic atmosphere. Details of his cult were adapted to Rome as well. The Romans adopted the Greek version of his life and works essentially unchanged, but added anecdotal detail of their own, some of it linking the hero with the geography of the Central Mediterranean. In Rome and the modern West, he is known as Hercules, with whom the later Roman emperors, in particular Commodus and Maximian, often identified themselves. He was the greatest of the Greek heroes, the ancestor of royal clans who claimed to be Heracleidae ( Ἡρακλεῖδαι), and a champion of the Olympian order against chthonic monsters. ![]() He was a great-grandson and half-brother (as they are both sired by the god Zeus) of Perseus, and similarly a half-brother of Dionysus. Heracles ( / ˈ h ɛr ə k l iː z/ HERR-ə-kleez Greek: Ἡρακλῆς, lit.
