...BAMBOO FLOWERS Reaction Paper Submitted to: Dr. Carmen Decierdo, PhD Submitted by: Dianne Michelle Daquio “BAMBOO FLOWERS” Written by: Aloy Adlawan Directed by: Maryo de Los Reyes “Bamboo Flowers” presents a three-story script intertwined into one. The film talks about married life and single blessedness life of young and other strangers, about students’ aspirations and ambitions, about sons and daughters of farmers, about tourist guides, cultural workers, children and ordinary people, about tourists who visit the province. “Bamboo Flowers” are literally the chandelier-shaped bamboo leaves/flowers which bloom on the bamboo trees that are in the final stages of death. This paradox is evident in the life in these islands where traditions maybe dying because times do change and because progress has bloomed and new things, outlooks, beliefs and practices have been introduced. Thus, there is erosion of traditions and since, there are new things to look forward to, there are also beliefs and practices that have to be abandoned or left behind. This movie written by Aloy Adlawan is directed by Maryo de Los Reyes as his entry to this year’s Sining Pambansa, All Masters’ Edition National Film Festival. It is his tribute to his roots, particularly to his mother who hails in Alicia, Bohol; to the memories of his childhood visits to this island province; to its rich heritage and traditions; to its lushness and beautiful landscapes, and most especially to its people. The film will also...

...Leptomorphic (Running) Bamboo Diagram Leptomorphic (Running) Bamboo Diagram Please note that in no way, shape or form is any proposal in this document to be legally considered an offer for an agreement nor shall the terms in this document be considered terms for a contractual agreement until a formal contract is drafted and signed by both parties The Nursery’s Background For the past 8 years LeBeau Bamboo Nursery has sold bamboo plants in the Rogue Valley at the local Rogue Valley Growers and Crafters Markets, the Jackson County Master Gardener Show and through visitations to our nursery by customers. Many of our customers meet us in person at the local markets before buying, but we also gain many customers through our website (www.lebeaubamboo.com). In the coming year we plan to also start selling directly online, shipping our plants throughout Oregon to increase our customer base. My father and I have always shared a deep passion for growing plants, so we decided to start the nursery when I was twelve years old. Originally we had a focus on selling vegetable starts such as tomatoes, peppers, corn and squash. In the beginning bamboo was only a small part of the business. As our collection of bamboo species and varieties grew from five to ten to fifty, I began to realize how different bamboo was from other plants and ultimately how useful they could be. I am now 20 years old and studying public accounting, CPA track, at Southern Oregon University. My father has been teaching...

...had done his wife wrong; he had made an unjustifiably hasty decision, and this thought bothered him. However, it was too late for him to ask to be forgiven. He scoured the heavens, but his efforts were in vain; Maguayan was nowhere to be found. So, to while away his sorrows, the repentant god created the earth and planted bamboo in a garden called Kahilwayan. He also planted other plants like rice, corn, and sugarcane. Among these plants, the bamboo sprouted first. It grew to be a beautiful tree with pliant branches and feathery leaves dancing to the rhythmic wafting of the breeze. Beholding the splendor of his creation, the great Kaptan was filled with happiness. "Ah," he sighed, "were Maguayan here, she would enjoy this beautiful sight amid the sighs of the breeze and the rustle of the leaves!" The bamboo continued to grow. The garden became more beautiful each day. Then one late afternoon, while Kaptan was watching the bamboo leaves play in the breeze, a thought came to him, and, before he realized what it was all about, he was murmuring to himself, "I will make creatures to take care of these plants for me." No sooner had he spoken these words than the bamboo split into two halves. From one stepped out the first man. To the man, Kaptan gave the name Sikalak, meaning "the sturdy one." And from that time on, men have been called lalaki. From the other half stepped out a woman. The god called her Sikabay, meaning "partner of the...

...Cultivation For those who derive their livelihoods from bamboo cultivation, bamboo o ers a number of bene ts and has relatively high levels of growth and income security. 1. Quick growth = short rotation Bamboos grow very fast, with speeds of up to 1 m in 24 hours. Productive groves can be established from scratch in 10 years and individual culms harvested after 3-6 years (depending upon species). The benefits of this short rotation time include lower levels of exposure to outside risks such as fire, and flexibility to change management and harvesting practices relatively quickly when facing climatic changes. 2. Short rotation = low financial outlay, quick recouping The fast growth and early maturation of bamboo culms means that a bamboo stand can be selectively harvested - extracting older culms and leaving younger ones to grow - without decreasing total stand biomass. Annual harvesting of bamboo generates a regular income stream that gives bamboo farmers a quick return on their investment and an important annual safety net. 3. Plant-it-and-leave-it Bamboos don’t need much tending once planted. They self-mulch by continuously shedding their leaves, and don’t need lots of fertilizer to grow. If not sold to provide part of the family’s income, bamboo culms can be used for farming and utilitarian applications (housing, fencing, implements). 4. Plant anywhere Most bamboos can grow marginal lands, such as degraded land and steep...

...has a cone-like structure for collecting liquid and bringing it close to a gland inside its mouth. It is the only carnivore with this adaptation. Red pandas are skilled climbers, using trees for shelter, to escape predators and to sunbathe in the winter. Their ankles are extremely flexible, and the fibula and tibia are attached in such a way as to allow the fibula to rotate about its axis. These features make it possible for red pandas to adeptly climb headfirst down tree trunks. In contrast with other carnivores their size, red pandas have extremely robust dentition. They also have a simple carnivore stomach, despite their predominantly leaf-based diet. Red pandas share the giant panda’s pseudo-thumb, a modified wrist bone used to grasp bamboo when feeding. Red pandas are the only living member of the Ailuridae family, and their taxonomic position has long been a subject of scientific debate. They were first described as members of the raccoon family (Procyonidae)—a controversial classification—in 1825, because of ecological characteristics and morphological similarities of the head, dentition and ringed tail. Later, due to some agreements in DNA, they were assigned to the bear family (Ursidae). Most recent genetic research, however, places red pandas in their own, independent family: Ailuridae. Molecular phylogenetic studies show that red pandas are an ancient species in the order Carnivora (superfamily Musteloidea) and are probably most closely related to the group that includes...

The reason was the dragon saw her as a threat to her hatch lings and to her home . She was scared because the hill was very steep and it looked like as if a paper was at a 90 degree angel . Chu-yi had tripped many times because there was a lot of mud. She was running under a lot of trees that had lots of branches on the ground which made it hard due to all of the obstacles she had to face.

...flowers, rivers, and rain fall. Among all the different species of animals that share the jungle, one in particular stands out: the giant panda. The pandas live a peaceful and harmless life high in the remote mountainous regions of central China. The bamboo forests grow high, and are cool and wet—just the way the pandas prefer them to be. Pandas will climb upwards to 13,000 feet (3,962 meters) to feed on the bamboo that grows in their habitat; during the summer seasons, they will venture even higher. Pandas mainly feed on bamboo, but will eat birds or rodents as well. It is in this peaceful bamboo jungle habitat that the giant panda gives birth to and nurtures its young. The Giant Panda is one of the rarest and most exotic animals this world has given birth to. Pandas are mammals; they’re omnivores. The average lifespan in the wild for a healthy Panda is twenty years. The sizes they grow to are four to five feet (one to one and a half meters) tall and weigh upwards to 300 pounds (136 kilograms). In the past few decades the Chinese Giant Pandas have been added to the endangered species list because of their decreasing numbers. The Pandas made the list due to false pregnancies, poachers, poor nurturing, and lack of bamboo growth. First, pandas are slowly decreasing in numbers because of lack of reproduction. Pandas in the wild and zoos (artificial habitats) are losing interest in one another because of loss of habitat, food, and freedom. Over the decades there has been...

...forests, we need to find new ways to reduce our dependency on wood. Since bamboo is one of the fastest growing grasses, a significant converter of CO2 and potentially as strong as wood – this project will test the strength of wood against bamboo. If bamboo can support even close to the same weight as wood, we can imagine a day when bamboo can be used as a replacement. In an effort to make this experiment practical, within my appendix, I will also propose a way that we can grow bamboo in the Bay Area utilizing marginal/unused land. These areas will create revolutionary new carbon-offset zones, provide additional revenue to local governments, reduce significant amounts of CO2, develop new businesses in an emerging industry, and promote, by example, green living. Purpose: Is bamboo stronger than wood, and if so, can it help us stop global warming? Research: Hypothesis: The wood will break under the same conditions and weight before the bamboo. Materials: 9 sticks of bamboo sized per test 9 pieces of solid wood sized per test 2 large plastic buckets 2 “S” hooks Chain to attach the hooks to the wood Sand and bricks Two cement platforms to put the wood on Procedures: Lay the wood on the platforms and attach the “S” hook. Attach a bucket to the “S” hook and fill with sand/bricks until the wood breaks. Weight the bucket. Take the “S” hooks of the wood and place them on the bamboo. Attach the bucket to the “S” hooks and...

...products can be made from bamboo? Clients frequently ask us about the different uses of bamboo, but the better question would be: What cannot be made from bamboo? Or as the ancient Asian saying goes: "A man is born in a bamboo cradle and goes away in a bamboo coffin. Everything in between is possible with bamboo!" - See more at: https://www.bambooimport.com/en/blog/products-made-from-bamboo#sthash.FP6BnPKt.dpuf Read more at: https://www.bambooimport.com/en/blog/products-made-from-bamboo Copyright © www.bambooimport.com A short film commissioned by INBAR for the World Expo in Shanghai, profiling bamboo - and its many innovative uses as a strong, lightweight, sustainable, carbon capturing material, including surfboards, bikes and building materials. The challenges we face today is to further improve and innovate the uses of bamboo. Since bamboo is the fastest growing plant on earth and a sustainable building material, it could easily substitute all known wood applications without having to cut down entire bamboo groves or plantations. Better yet, bamboo continuously grows after harvest without having to re-plant it. Bamboo also converts about 35% more CO2 into oxygen than a regular tree. The bamboo products we see on the market today, are just the tip of the iceberg, we predict that more and more innovative bamboo applications will enter the consumer markets rapidly. Therefore it is an exciting era to live in if you are also a firm believer of how bamboo can contribute to a greener...

...school in Shanghai, China. The conditions at the school were harsh. Meals were scarce. So scarce, in fact, that the administrators encouraged more sedate pass times such as chess and cards so that the students would not use up the precious few calories they gained from the food (Cao 109). All of the students wore pouches that contained their personal set of chopsticks. The clandestine manufacture of these personal utensils became the favored hobby among the students. The most treacherous stage in making one's own chopsticks was stealing the bamboo. The student dormitories were constructed of bamboo and the students would go on nightly raids, stealing bamboo stalks from the piles used by the maintenance workers to make repairs. At first no one noticed a few missing stalks, but as the fad grew, the construction department began complaining about the missing materials. Ultimately the superintendent of the school banned students from taking the bamboo to make the chopsticks. This slowed down the thievery, but it didn't...
