![]() The first report on nectar release in the Melastomataceae was made by Ule (1896) on Tibouchina, a large genus with over 350 species, most of which are bee-pollinated ( Renner, 1989). However, nectariferous Melastomataceae, which mostly retain poricidal anthers, have evolved other strategies for attracting pollinators. Their poricidal anthers have been seen as a specialization to protect the pollen, ensuring that it is only collected by bees. Pollen of Melastomataceae can be of great ecological importance in the neotropics, where melastome flowers have been shown to be visited by up to 40 % of bee species in a given locality ( Renner, 1989 Harter et al., 2002). ![]() Melastomataceae flowers are known for usually providing pollen rewards to their pollinators. Charianthus nectaries were not found, but there is circumstantial evidence that nectar release occurs through the epidermis at the apex of the ovary and the lower portions of the inner wall of the hypanthium. Miconia has nectary stomata on the ovary apex. Meriania may release nectar through the anther connective, but has additional nectary stomata on the inner walls of the hypanthium. Brachyotum also has nectary stomata on the anther connectives, but these are distributed lengthwise along most of the connective. Blakea and Huilaea have nectary stomata located upon the dorsal anther connective appendages. Moreover, the nectar is probably supplied by large vascular bundles near the release area. In most species, nectar secretion is related to stomatal or epidermal nectaries and not filament slits as previously reported. All vertebrate-pollinated melastome flowers have petals that do not open completely at anthesis, thus forming a pseudo-tubular corolla, while closely related species that are bee pollinated have rotate or reflexed corollas.

![]() After some time he left the village, and it is unknown where he stayed at that time or what happened to him. His presence attracted the curiosity of the villagers and the religiously-inclined such as Mhalsapati, Appa Jogle and Kashinatha regularly visited him, while others such as the village children considered him mad and threw stones at him. ![]() By day he associated with no one, by night he was afraid of nobody." The Sai Satcharita recounts the reaction of the villagers: " The people of the village were wonder-struck to see such a young lad practicing hard penance, not minding heat or cold. SaiBaba reportedly arrived at the village of Shirdi in the Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra, India, when he was about sixteen years old.Īlthough there is no agreement among biographers about the date of this event, it is generally accepted that SaiBaba stayed in Shirdi for three years, disappeared for a year and returned permanently around 1858, which posits a possible birthyear of 1838.] He led an ascetic life, sitting motionless under a neem tree and meditating while sitting in an asana. This dichotomy has given rise to two major theories regarding SaiBaba's background, with the majority of writers supporting the Hindu background over the Islamic, while others combine both the theories (that Sai Baba was first brought up by a fakir and then by a guru). On another occasion, Baba reportedly said that the fakir's wife had left him in the care of a Hindu guru, Venkusa of Selu, and that he had stayed with Venkusa for twelve years as his disciple. He had reportedly stated to a close follower, Mhalsapati, that he has been born of Brahmin parents in the village of Pathri and had been entrusted into the care of a fakir in his infancy. SaiBaba was notorious for giving vague, misleading and contradictory replies to questions concerning his parentage and origins, brusquely stating the information was unimportant. Historical researches into genealogies in Shirdi give support to the theory that Baba could have been born with the name Haribhau Bhusari.

The Chromecast with Google TV HD is a strong contender for older 1080p TVs that you don’t plan to upgrade any time soon. You can also use “Hey Google” voice commands to launch videos on the TV from a nearby Nest speaker. The Chromecast with Google TV HD supports casting from your phone and playing music in sync with other Chromecast devices.Ĭhromecasts also play nicely with Google Assistant, so you can use the remote to check in on video cameras or control smart home devices you’ve set up through the Google Home app. The Chromecast can also display your Google Photos albums in screensaver mode, and you can tie it into a multi-room audio setup with other Nest speakers. For Android phone users in particular, it may be a better fit than a Roku player, which supports casting via Apple’s AirPlay system or the Roku mobile app. The new Chromecast still supports casting from phones and tablets. If all this leaves you on the fence about the new Chromecast, the last thing to consider is how it would fit into your overall gadget roster. A prominent “All Apps” button on the home screen would really help address the concerns of people who like to launch apps directly.Google’s watchlist is buried at the bottom of the home screen, a shame given that you can add items to the list from Google search results.The result overall is a menu system that’s helpful for navigating an increasingly confusing TV landscape, but one that still feels incomplete.Ī couple other stray quibbles worth noting: These kinds of issues aren’t unique to Google TV, but they are more apparent because of how Google puts its universal guide front and center. Google TV lets you choose which services appear on the home screen (for the most part). ![]() The only things missing are dedicated fast forward and rewind buttons, which is mainly a problem in apps that don’t map those functions to the D-pad.

Gravels, streams, creeks, and rivers, are all common environments where you may find quartz. The more volcanic history an area has, the higher the chances you will find quartz specimens, especially crystals. Quartz is also commonly found in mediums such as road cuts, outcrops, or pegmatites. Mines and quarries near mountains are also excellent in unearthing quartz. Quarries, although covering many shallow depths, will also often reveal quartz specimens. The more a mine goes underground, the higher the chances it will stumble upon quartz specimens. Quartz minerals and crystals are often uncovered in mines, mine dumps, pits and quarries. Let’s talk about a couple of them: Mines, Mine Dumps, Pits, and Quarries There are plenty of environments where quartz is commonly found. Quartz is often found in creeks, exposures, gravels, streams, outcrops, mines, pegmatites, pits, road cuts, or quarries. Quartz also forms in silica-rich water, as the silicon dioxide dissolves under high temperatures and pressures. The slower the cooling process, the larger the crystals will grow. In igneous rocks, quartz occurs when magma cools down. If you have ever heard of silicon dioxide, well, quartz is its crystalline form. It is among the most common minerals in the world. ![]() Quartz occurs in igneous rocks or environments with geothermal waters in the earth’s crust.

Lightspeed’s President & Corporate Director Jean-Paul Chauvet Lightspeed POS Inc. It eliminates a rival and adds 20,000 locations, bringing Lightspeed’s total locations served to 100,000 worldwide.Īnd as noted, it’s a good time to scoop up rivals if you can. ![]() The rationale for the ShopKeep acquisition was pretty straightforward. ShopKeep got a similar deal, earning $145.2 million in cash and $295 million in stock. The Upserve deal involved $123 million in net cash, with the remaining $307 million in stock. Then, boom, shares are up 134% since February 28. The stock fell 10.6% through January and February. The pandemic has been good to Lightspeed’s share price. It’s notable that both the ShopKeep and Upserve deal were cash and stock deals, with both being much heavier on stock than cash. For example, helping restaurants adapt with order ahead technology or retailers with eCommerce. It’s done well through the pandemic by focusing on offering tools that help clients adapt to the new normal. Lightspeed, founded in 2005, is focused on three major verticals - golf, restaurants, and retail. This deal comes hot on the heels of Lightspeed’s acquisition of rival POS ShopKeep for $440 million. This week (a busy one for acquisitions and funding announcements), Lightspeed announced it will acquire restaurant-management solution Upserve in a $430 million cash and stock deal. With its stock price high, and assets relatively cheap, Lightspeed has made two acquisitions designed to upgrade its technology and expand its POS footprint. And the Canadian POS player Lightspeed has taken it to heart, in particular when applied to the battered restaurant space.

Salesforce APIs for Postman is a collection of requests for Salesforce APIs. Introducing the Salesforce API Collection Collection Overview As the number of reusable requests grew, I decided to create an open-source Salesforce APIs collection. Postman helps me quickly design and reuse API requests across projects. Here’s an example of how you can retrieve your Salesforce API limits by calling the REST API with the JavaScript Fetch function: You can generate code snippets for a great variety of languages from your requests.That can be used for setting environment variables. You can automate things by building post execution scripts with JavaScript.There are also paid plans that couple Postman with source control for live collaboration. If you use the free version of Postman, you can collaborate on requests by importing/exporting your workspaces.When switching environments, all variable values are updated to environment-specific values. For instance, you can have an environment for production and another one for a sandbox. You can switch between multiple environments.There’s no file upload limit you can set headers and parameters, and use any content type (binary, text…) It gives you full control over HTTP requests.Unlike Workbench, it’s not tied to Salesforce technology but it has several great advantages: Since Workbench didn’t cover all of my needs, I started using Postman to troubleshoot API calls. However, it has several limitations for a broader use: it doesn’t allow you to save your configuration, reuse it on multiple orgs or collaborate. Workbench is a great tool to explore the Salesforce APIs and run one-shot tests. This tool was created by the community and is now operated by Salesforce, but it’s not officially supported and only receives security updates. Workbench lets you execute Salesforce API calls against all types of orgs directly from your browser. I’m not going to list them all here but a classic go-to solution for developers is Workbench. There are several Salesforce and third-party tools that let you explore and call APIs. In order to do that, I use a couple of tools. I configure and compare those calls on multiple environments (sandboxes, production orgs…) then share the results of my findings. ![]() Exploring and Testing APIs With PostmanĪs a Technical Architect, (and like most developers) I often configure and troubleshoot API calls. ![]() It supports environment variables, team workspaces, and JavaScript automation among other useful features. It’s a very convenient and powerful tool that leverages point-and-click configuration. ![]() Postman is a desktop application that lets you configure and call HTTP-based APIs like REST or SOAP. This unofficial collection currently holds close to 200 API call templates for 10 Salesforce APIs (REST, Bulk, UI, Tooling, Metadata, and Composite just to name a few). In this post, I’ll introduce you to Postman and show you how to easily explore and test different Salesforce APIs against multiple orgs using an open-source Postman collection (that I’ve already assembled for you). All of these APIs are thoroughly documented, but how can you quickly try them on a given org – or better yet, on multiple orgs? Salesforce exposes a rich set of APIs that lets you integrate your org with third-party systems in a great variety of scenarios. ![]() Scoop up short sleeve and long sleeve solid tops for boys and girls in every color at a great price.
