And not just in terms of length, that I have more years of executive experience than the vice president for example, but in terms of being that near to the ground, and at the same time that constantly visible.

Fiddleheads may grow near to the ground and potentially cause beaver fever if not cleaned and cooked correctly, and they may taste suspiciously similar to asparagus or spinach, but they are a unique little gift from Mother Nature each spring that hasn't yet been totally manipulated by man.

Conversely, katabatic winds are down-slope winds, frequently produced at night by the opposite effect, the air near to the ground losing heat to it faster than air at a similar altitude over adjacent low-lying land. Monsoon winds are similarly generated, but on a continental scale and seasonal cycle.

Met Office data assimilation and ensembles. Retrieved 28 December 2009. The Unified Model software suite is written in Fortran (originally 77 but now predominantly 90) and uses height as the vertical variable. Because most developments of interest are at near to the ground the vertical layers are closer together near the surface.

A. drummondii Individuals of this species are herbaceous perennial plants, characterized by thick, hairy stems as well as hairy foliage. The plant tends to have several large stems diverging near to the ground. The plant is often 40 to 70cm tall. It is characterized by oblong leaves 6 to 14cm in length which are very hairy on their downward side.

The cab was fitted with a glass windshield and side curtains completely enclosing the driver. The ambulance was a trailer with floor inclined towards the rear, allowing the entrance to be near to the ground, with the loading gate forming a ramp. The body was equipped with top and side curtains to give protection from bad weather. The cost is estimated to have been about $5,000.

Flight control has been improved upon since the first game, as has melee combat, allowing players to get near to the ground. AI was also updated from the previous title. New enemies have been included, and new strategies are now available in combat. In the Wii/PlayStation Portable version, simplified graphics, different combat systems (not using melee during midair) and different missions are added.

Australian ravens generally nest in tall trees, never near to the ground as some species do. The nest also functions as a lookout post and so tall or emergent trees are selected. The ravens occasionally nest on buildings, telegraph poles, or tall windmills which allow the species to occupy areas lacking in tall trees. Windmills may have assisted the spread of the species in North Queensland and the Northern Territory.

Female midges tend to bite close to their breeding site (although they have been found up to 1 km away) and near to the ground. They are most active just before dawn and sunset but bite at any time of day. Midges are less active with wind speeds of over , or humidity below 60–75%. Dry cloudless conditions are unfavourable to midges, thus they are prevalent in humid, wet and cloudy conditions.

Rockets, carrying their own propellant with them, use the vast majority of it at the beginning of their journey, accelerating near to the ground, as enshrined in the rocket equation. The Space Shuttle used more than a third of its fuel just to reach .NASA: If the initial velocity were provided outside of its own propellant, a rocket would have a much reduced propellant need, and a greater fraction of liftoff mass could be payload and hardware.

The subterranean part, which can weigh several kilograms, is made up of white stems covered with fleshy scales. The flowers are 40 to 50 mm, with long pedicels; they appear near to the ground in April - May. The normal colour of the flowers is purple or purplish-violet, but rarely colonies with paler, pink or even wholly white flowers may be encountered. Fruit of the L. clandestina Mature fruits can project their 4 to 5 large seeds some distance into the surrounding area.

They forage in a variety of habitat, from dense rainforest to open woodland in savannah landscapes. Their prey are mid-sized insects caught in flight close to low vegetation, over water and near to the ground. They fly at slow speed and with a high degree of manoeuvrability while foraging for invertebrates such as beetles and moths, allowing them to hunt at low altitudes and make sudden changes in direction to catch its prey. H. cervinus are recorded as hunting in small groups, Reproduction is a single birth during November to December.

World Trade Center lung is the name for a collection of lung diseases found in people who worked at or were near to the Ground Zero site of the September 11 attacks in New York City. This cluster of diseases includes asthma, asthmatic bronchitis, terminal airways disease, sarcoidosis, and acute eosinophilic pneumonia. The particulate matter from the destruction of the towers contained fibrogenic and other harmful materials also found in responders' lungs, including fiberglass, asbestos, aluminum, calcium silicate, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, silica, vitreous fibers, carbon nanotubes, fly ash, titanium, magnesium silicate, and phosphate.

Locomotives built by John Fowler for light railway systems had small wheels and as a result apparently suffered initially from their working parts being too near to the ground, and so being exposed to dust and dirt. In July 1880, his employees Alfred Greig and William Beadon were granted a patent for a locomotive with a jackshaft drive, which meant the cylinders could be raised much further above the track. It had very short vertical coupling rod from the jackshaft to the rear axle just below it; the rod was cranked to allow the valve eccentrics to be mounted inboard of the crank.Douglas Self: Jackshaft Locomotives.

The warming of the air near to the ground leads to rising movements and the atmosphere becomes less stable. One of these patterns is the air pressure difference between the Arctic and mid-latitudes: the so-called Arctic oscillation with the Azores highs and Iceland lows known from the weather reports. If this difference is high, a strong westerly wind will result which in winter carries warm and humid Atlantic air masses right down to Europe. In the negative phase when pressure differences are low, cold Arctic air can then easily penetrate southward through Europe without being interrupted by the usual westerlies, as has been the case frequently over the last three winters.

The Times, Front Page 23 May 1988, Times Newspapers Limited www.thetimes.co.uk After the game there was a brief skirmish between thugs from both countries in a car-park near to the ground and Hibs boys coming to the rescue of some Tartan Army in central London by attacking a group of Portsmouth 6:57 Crew. On the Saturday morning of the 1989 tie that was to be held in Glasgow the CCS were anticipating the arrival in Edinburgh of a contingent of English hooligans from clubs such as Sunderland, Middlesbrough and Leeds and had positioned themselves near to Waverley station. After all their foes had exited the station, the Hibs crew attacked them causing the English mob to split in two.

Each of its two arms had a counterweight in the shape of two metal spikes, which would sweep near to the ground like a scythe. The sequence was always the same, different from some other weight-based rides that have numerous sequences; this was also probably to be more energy efficient. The ride type itself is a rare flat ride not seen at a lot of theme parks, Submission did not have the best of reviews at Alton Towers, mainly due to it having the same sequence (unlike others such as Ripsaw) and the restraints being very similar to those on a Huss Top Spinner making it fairly uncomfortable to ride when inverted. Breakdowns occasionally happened and, as a result, queues were very short.

Prié blanc is an early ripeningVittorino Novello "The Elevation of Wine: Viticulture Up High" (Symposium Transcript) pg 4, Balzac Communications & Marketing, June 14th, 2007 grape variety that has good winter-hardiness and resistance to frost. The grapevine is susceptible to several other viticultural hazards including various rots and the grapevine moth species Eupoecilia ambiguella. Most vines of Prié blanc are ungrafted due to phylloxera's difficulties surviving in the harsh climate conditions of the Valle d'Aosta.Eric Pfanner "Going to Great Heights for a Taste of Alpine Wine" New York Times, June 8th, 2012 In order to maximize the amount of heat needed to fully ripen, vines of Prié blanc are usually trained in low pergola systems near to the ground so that the vines can capture the heat radiating from the soil.

Protea foliosa is distinguished from the three other species classified in section Crinitae, P. intonsa, P. montana and P. vogtsiae, by being the one to grow in the form of a shrub with erect branches with terminal, clustered flower heads. Additionally, this is the only species in this group which has its flower heads obscured from sight by its surrounding leaves. P. recondita, which occurs on high mountain slopes further to the west, also has terminal flower heads which are wrapped by the surrounding and subtending leaves and bracts, but in this species the single heads are bourne much higher in the air on erect branches, not near to the ground. P. foliosa has long been confused with P. tenax the first to do so was one of the first, in the early 1830s, collectors of this plant, Drège, who published about this species partially under that name in 1843.

Waddy, A Tour of the Arnhem Battlefields, p. 42 The brigade was scheduled to arrive on the second day of the operation, 18 September, using drop zones protected by elements of 1st Airlanding Brigade.Thompson, p. 210 In the event, ground mist in England meant that the second lift was delayed by four hours,Middlebrook, p. 225 which spared the Dakota transport aircraft from meeting Luftwaffe fighters over the drop zone.Waddy, A Tour of the Arnhem Battlefields, p. 98 Nevertheless, the aircraft encountered considerable anti-aircraft fire as they approached the drop zone. Waddy later recalled that his aircraft was so near to the ground that he could see the upturned faces of the German gun crews. He observed numerous flak bursts and watched the escorting Hawker Typhoon fighters attacking flak batteries as they approached the DZ.Waddy, A Tour of the Arnhem Battlefields, p99 His own aircraft was hit in the tail but the pilot continued to the drop zone where, despite bad yawing, Waddy and his men were able to jump.
