Over the years, scientists have proposed numerous theories to explain these and other mimalike mounds across the globe, the most popular of which implicate animals, particularly gophers and termites, for the pimply blemishes. But these fauna may deserve an apology, according to a new study, in which scientists argue that natural processes involving the spatial patterning of plants produce mimalike mounds. Cramer and Barger believe mimalike mounds are ultimately the product of something called vegetation spatial patterning. Here, individual or groups of plants spread their roots and drain surrounding areas of water and nutrients, while the soil in which they grow remains fertile. Resources become depleted between the vegetation patches and accumulate on the patches, essentially setting up islands of fertile areas that are regularly spaced out across a large region. The plants don't directly form the mounds, but they affect waterborne and windborne soil deposition and erosion, which can lead to mound formation, Cramer said. Similar to the generation of nabkhas, wind or water may bring in a lot of soil to the vegetation patches, causing them to grow over time as the plants trap the sediment. |

Why shouldn't we be honest, out in the open about who we are? Is it necessary to lie about what or who we are? I guess, because that's what is happening. It's a game. Because people can pass as what they are not, meaning they are liars, to fool sentient beings that are called stupid sheeple. So, are they stupid sheeple because others are 'passing' for what they are not? Or are the 'passers' nothing more than liars? THEY ARE LIARS, humans aren't stupid, they want to believe in their fellows. They are horrified when they find they've been lied to their entire life. And they've been lied to by everyone who claimed to love or care for them. An horrific game I'll say. a game perhaps, nevertheless it not how you play but whether you win or lose. So, lying and cheating are okay with you, in your world? Probably so. That is until you become the lied to or the cheated. I wonder how loud you would scream if you found out you were the one cheated? i roll |

Have i told you who i am? No. because i dont care if you know or not. This is because you said everyone wants the credit. I actually dont care for it most the time. Though i have no doubt you , whoever that is, may always want the credit so you think everyone else must want it as well. A common logical error. |

I have learned your mannerisms quite well over time so it really has become a non issue for me. Due necessity and curiosity I learned this skill. Quoting: Seer777 There is an occasional new person, or random which can also be recognized when they return more than once. It is also why I hold to 'member names' like I do. Once a name is burned to memory, it's there to stay. And I am rather inflexible in that regard whether changed or not on return. So if i log in and change my name to meathead memetic you will call me that? Rude. Will not* Fak, i been doing that all day. Correct. Once I recognize you, the name sticks. :) [link to www.thehomeplanet.org] |

I was just thinking of that song as well. Good thread that. Shame to see it go. Like burning a diary. There were things in that thread that even i couldn't explain away. Of course many a secret that probably never should have been known was revealed about ppl in that thread as well. No matter how clever and unconventionally pragmatic i think i am, surely some others i didnt want to know certain things about me figured them out. I certainly learned a lot about others in their. |

But the king made no attempt to copy the churches of the Holy Land; in fact, Lalibela’s sacred architecture could not be more unique. Quoting: observation[link to hiddenincatours.com] Axum Axum or Aksum is a city in northern Ethiopia. The original capital of the Kingdom of Aksum, it is one of the oldest continuously inhabited places in Africa. Quoting: observation[link to en.wikipedia.org] |
