The British Sociological Association and the Work, employment & society Editorial Board are pleased to announce that the WES Conference 2016 will be hosted by the University of Leeds.
The thematic focus of the 2016 conference at the University of Leeds will be 'Work in Crisis'. It is now clear that the impact of the global financial crisis has not only been profound, but enduring. Economic recovery has been slow. The crisis has not led to any fundamental reappraisal of the nature of capitalism, or how to 'govern' it. Instead, governments have sought to impose austerity and erode social protections. For the majority in work real wages have fallen, pensions have been eroded and precarity has become more pervasive, while those without employment have been subject to ever more punitive sanctions. Inequalities have been and are set to continue increasing.
Keynote speakers
The EU in crisis: work, financialisation and the state
Professor Engelbert Stockhammer (Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Kingston University London)
Associate Professor Janine Leschke (Department of Business and Politics, Copenhagen Business School)
Organising Team: Professor Mark Stuart, Professor Jennifer Tomlinson, Dr Gabriella Alberti, Dr Ioulia Bessa, Professor Irena Grugulis, Dr Kate Hardy, Dr Jo Ingold, Dr Charles Umney, Dr Vera Trappmann

Imagine lifesaving vascular access or replacement without requiring any cells or tissue from the patient. At Humacyte, this vision may become a reality thanks to our proprietary technology for developing human, tissue-based investigational products.
Our technology platform isolates and grows stable, off-the-shelf investigational human tissue replacements which, if approved, could be tailored to pre-designed clinical and commercial specifications for regenerative medicine, as well as for vascular and non-vascular surgery applications.
By growing these investigational tissues in vitro from banked vascular smooth muscle cells and then decellularizing them, we may be able to significantly reduce the risk of infection and tissue rejection. The result? An end product that can be ready on a hospital storage shelf for patients in need of vascular access or replacement.
Pre-clinical and clinical data suggests Humacyte human acellular vessels (HAV) may have the potential to extend patency with the possibility of some reduction in inflammation and some reduction in clotting.
Humacyte human acellular vessels may have the potential to be less immunogenic with the possibility of some reduction in foreign body response.
Humacyte human acellular vessels may have the potential to lower healthcare costs with reduced surgical interventions and more positive, long term, clinical outcomes.

There is real horror in the branding of this, co-opted by cynicism here but always superficial, presented as a scientifically-precise evil hypnotist neotenous psychosexual cutemare. This is tomorrow's unachievable standard for your future dysmophism-afflicted daughters, its only redeeming factor being that it is at least far weirder than the current models.

I smell cosplay, amirite?
Rob is spot on, but everyone knows blue pussy is best, eh?
I weep for the children…
The look in her eyes, "I'm better than you because I'm wearing a 3D model of a $2000 hat". That's pretty despicable, but also hilarious.
This is definitely in my top five list of the most horrible things I've ever been exposed to by BoingBoing.
Blue Meanies chaser?
I rather fancy a repeated kick in the groin, or a hot poker shoved in my eye than look upon Smurfette Hilton ever fuckin again
The raping of my childhood is now complete.
It's like Peyo, George Lucas and Candace Bushnell had a horrible, horrible baby.
What happened to her feet? Smurf feet won't fit in those boots without cutting off the sides and letting the disfigured remainder drip down to the toe. This makes it look like she has (compressed) human feet, which is also horrific because she has no knees.
What's a Smurf? Seriously. Never got it, never cared about it. Am I alone in my not-caringness? Yeah, I'm old, but you don't have to get off my lawn. You're welcome to hang out there.
Since I actively hated the smurfs when growing up I have to admit feeling something pleasing, I don't know how to describe this feeling it isn't exactly schadenfreude but something close to it.
damn, it's times like this I wish I were german.
@ Anon # 20 — I believe the word you're looking for is Smurfenfreude
Seems like I've been seeing previews for this dreadful-looking merchandizapalooza for a year now. My deepest, most sincere hope is that it is a box office catastrophe– that everyone who feels the tug of nostalgia will stay home. The worst thing you can do is hand over your money to those who cynically want to cash in on something beloved. They will gladly take your money coming and going. Trust me, I know something about this.
Smurf that Smurfing Smurf. That Smurf is going to be a real piece of Smurf.
Why is she wearing Mario's hat?
How could anybody think that was a good idea?
The movie itself was a horrible idea, but that? I mean, the editors of Harpers were sitting in their conference room, one of them say: "Hey, I have an idea! We take CGI-Smurfette from the new awesome "Smurfs" movie and dress her up in fashionable accessoirs! It will be soooo funny and cute!" and NOBODY tells him that his idea sucks balls? The normal reaction of ANY reasonable human beeing would be "Shut up, Frank! (lets call him Frank) This is a terrible idea! Even worse than CGI-Scooby Doo with Tommy Hilfinger clothes! I swear, one more sh!tty idea like that and you can pack your bags and leave!" That would be my reaction, and I consider myself a mostly reasonable human beeing. So why are they doing this? WHY? WWWHHHYYY???
"…scientifically-precise evil hypnotist neotenous psychosexual cutemare."
What a terrific phrase! You just made my day
"…scientifically-precise evil hypnotist neotenous psychosexual cutemare."
What a terrific phrase! You just made my day
Yeah, that was pretty impressive : )
aaaahhAAAAHHH! WHAT HAVE THEY DONE?! This is not right. :( I loved the Smurfs and they should not be naughty looking and… selling luxury goods!
That was seriously one of my least favorite cartoons as a kid. I dreaded that show. So this just makes me laugh and laugh.
This is hideous. I detested the smurfs as a kid and feel the same now. That image is so fucking hideous.
…little excrescences,* they are…
*by which I mean excreted waste
If this is libelous please delete I don't want to go to jail for smurfs
I'm leaving this room now
Ive noticed this a lot with these CGI movies. They look horrifying, and I know exactly why now. When you add realistic eyes in the middle of a cartoon face it just looks creepy. I think this is the precise reason clowns are so scary. They look cartoony, and then they have these beady, hyper-real, bloodshot looking eyes that are emphasized by the cartoon face in general. Well say what you will about the smurfs in general but Peyo made some nice character designs. These CGI things are a terrifying corruption of that. Case in point. Look at this side by side:
You've nailed it. It's those bedroom eyes that make her so creepy and hypersexualized. Even more so than the smurf-me boots.
I'm no prude, but seriously – why is every CG children's character so slutty these days? Who are they marketing to? And how is it ok?
One of the previews I saw (through no fault of my own) showed her doing the Marilyn Monroe vent-up-the-skirt thing from "The Seven Year Itch." I don't even want to know who that was intended to appeal to.
Papa Smurf done smurfed her out good.
I love the idea of putting beloved animated characters from a classic children's cartoon in a fish-out-of-water comedy set in the "real" world. That's why I went out and bought the platinum Blu-Ray editions of "Rocky & Bullwinkle", "Enchanted", "Elf", "Fat Albert", "Alvin & The Chipmunks" and "Yogi Bear". It's also why the attendant won't let me have sharp objects anymore.
The upshot? At least now Anglo-Americans can stop calling the Japanese Kee-razy with a Kapital "K."
Welcome to life beyond the pale!
Ew. Rape culture.
And maybe culture rape.
Am I the only one who sees a blue Helen Mirren in the picture?

Originally posted on Fox Sports North | Last updated 11/26/12
Unfortunately for the Minnesota Vikings, Sunday's game at Chicago was very reminiscent of many recent games at Soldier Field. Minnesota fell behind early and couldn't recover in Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Bears, and Chicago's defense causing turnovers was the big key. The Vikings (6-5) have lost six straight games to the Bears (8-3) and five straight in Chicago. Sunday's loss drops Minnesota further behind in the NFC North, though their Wild Card status (one game out) didn't change after Seattle, Tampa Bay and New Orleans also lost. But the Vikings didn't offer much reason for optimism with the tough upcoming stretch. Here's how Minnesota graded out in each phase Sunday against the Bears: Pass offense: F Sunday's performance might not register on the same low level as the Arizona and Seattle games, but the passing game was again unable to gain much consistent yardage and couldn't take advantage of the defense again focusing on Peterson. Quarterback Christian Ponder, in going 22 of 43 for 159 yards passing with an interception and touchdown, wasn't completely to blame on Sunday though, with receivers dropping several big passes. Jerome Simpson, who had one catch for one yard, dropped at least three passes. Stephen Burton dropped a pass that would have been a big first down that at the time was called an interception before a replay changed the call. Devin Aromashodu had zero catches on three targets. Even rookie Jarius Wright, who had a team-high seven catches for 49 yards, dropped at least two passes. When receivers weren't dropping passes, Ponder was again shaky handling the pass rush. He was only sacked twice, but the pressure directly influenced his one interception, an overthrow in the middle of the field. And he was constantly flushing out of the pocket even when there was imminent pressure. After a good effort in the last game, it was another step back for the entire passing offense, which was playing without leading receiver Percy Harvin for the second straight game. Run offense: C Running back Adrian Peterson continued his amazing stretch this season with his fifth straight 100-yard rushing game, but losing two fumbles were especially costly Sunday. The final stats, nearly across the board, don't show much of a difference between Minnesota and Chicago on Sunday, but the spot on the field and timeliness of the Vikings' turnovers were a big issue in the Bears winning by 18. Peterson's first fumble led to Chicago's first touchdown, a drive that went just 34 yards and gave the Bears the lead. With the offense struggling, he had seven carries for 25 yards in the first half. In the second half, Peterson started to find more holes against Chicago's eight-ranked run defense and finished with 18 carries for 108 yards. His second fumble essentially sealed Minnesota's fate late in the fourth quarter after the Vikings had gotten to the 50-yard line. Peterson still averaged 6 yards per carry, and curiously didn't get the ball on two straight plays in the red zone early in the fourth quarter when Minnesota needed two yards for a first down on third- and fourth-down plays as the Vikings turned the ball over on downs at the 8-yard line. Pass defense: D The final stats don't show much for Chicago's passing game with quarterback Jay Cutler returning from a concussion. Cutler was 23 of 31 for 188 yards, one touchdown and one interception. But Cutler's presence made the difference for the Bears. He extended plays while flushing out of the pocket and found receivers when needed. He was sacked just once, when he tripped when his center stepped on his foot, behind a line that has taken its lumps lately. And maybe the biggest difference between the teams on Sunday: Cutler completed his first nine passes on third downs to keep Chicago's offense on the field. The Bears were 11 of 18 on third down before a kneel down to end the game and ended up with a 15-minute advantage in time of possession. Cornerback Antoine Winfield had his team-leading third interception when Brandon Marshall couldn't haul in a Cutler pass, the sixth interception for Minnesota this season. Marshall was nearly uncoverable Sunday because Cutler trusted him to catch the ball even when covered. Marshall was often blanketed by the Vikings, but still hauled in tough catch after tough catch and finished with 12 catches for 92 yards. Over half of Cutler's 31 targets and almost half of his 21 completions went to Marshall, who had five catches on third down. Run defense: C Minnesota allowed 113 yards rushing to the Bears, a total the defenders won't be happy with. But the effort wasn't as bad as the issues the Vikings had for four weeks against Washington, Arizona, Tampa Bay and Seattle. With Matt Forte and Michael Bush each taking at least 14 carries, Chicago only averaged 2.9 yards per rush. Forte had 14 carries for 42 yards and also lost a fumble. He was splitting carries with Bush throughout. Bush had 21 carries for 60 yards and took the majority of the chances when Forte left the game in the third quarter. Again, for Chicago, it wasn't a matter of an outburst or big showing, but sustained control of the ball not giving Minnesota any chance at a comeback. Special teams: C Special teams is always an interesting aspect when it comes to Vikings' games against the Bears and Sunday was no exception. Both teams blocked field goals, just the second miss of the season for Minnesota's Blair Walsh. And unexpectedly, both teams were missing their star returners for much of the game. Harvin did not make the trip with the team and Chicago's Devin Hester was lost early in the game with a concussion. While Hester was still in, Vikings punter Chris Kluwe shanked one punt, but he tweeted later Sunday the cause was from a gust of wind. Kluwe also had a 53-yarder and averaged 40.5 yards per punt. Hester and Earl Bennett combined for only one return for six yards. Minnesota punt returner Marcus Sherels didn't get the chance at a return. Sherels had one kickoff return for 38 yards and rookie Josh Robinson got his first chance at a return, but made a poor decision to bring the ball out of the end zone on a 14-yard return that only got back to the 11-yard line. In more ways than one, the Vikings have to hope Harvin is ready to return for next week's road game at Green Bay. Overall: D The stats are not a good reflection of what happened Sunday. Simply put, there weren't many differences statistically between the two teams. But the effort and determination settled Sunday's game. Chicago was motivated to change its direction following a disappointing loss last week on Monday Night Football -- and back-to-back losses -- while coming home against a divisional opponent. Minnesota was coming off a bye week and didn't seem ready to play. The dropped passes were lackadaisical errors and the turnovers were costly. Minnesota's defense couldn't get past an offensive line that had struggled mightily. A slow start, combined with a minus-1 in turnover differential and a 15-minute disadvantage in time of possession won't win a divisional road game. Sunday was an all-phases letdown, with the most frustrating thing being that the Vikings looked sluggish in an important NFC North game off the bye. Follow Brian Hall on Twitter.

We went in Kechmara for our last dinner in Morocco, tired of all the tajine and cous cous eaten during our staying.
The first "wow" is for the location. The terrace itself worths the visit, it is the very same location you would expect to find in one of the coolest European capital: cool, fashonable, modern in term of design and really cozy (the are no lights, just the candles of each table). The second "wow" is for the food. The fish burger is something memorable I think. High food quality and fitting ingredients combination, I couldn't ask for more.
A Plus for the wines carte and for cocktails (we were soooo extited about it, as in Morocco is definetly not easy to find a place you can freely drink alcool).
Prices reflect the quality and the service.
High recommended!!

An evening with Ivan Parker at Refuge Baptist Church
Published: Saturday, August 6, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, August 6, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
Ivan Parker is enjoying these last days of summer. The award-winning gospel singer will once again join the Gaither Homecoming tour in September and will begin work on a new CD in October, in addition to performing solo dates.
"It really gets kind of crazy," he said during a telephone interview Tuesday from his office in Nashville. "They wanted me to start on the new CD this summer, but I wanted to enjoy my summer. I told them I'd start it in the fall."
Parker will take time, however, to perform in concert at 7 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 14, in the new Family Life Center at Refuge Baptist Church, Dana. This will be his third concert at the church. Doors will open at 6 p.m. and a love offering will be received.
"There are very few places I go back to year after year," Parker said. "There are a lot of different venues that come in over year's time and we try to spread it out as much as we can."
But Parker enjoys the atmosphere at the Dana church and appreciates the fact that they ask him back year after year.
Parker was born in Roanoke Rapids, the son of a preacher. The family moved from Roanoke Rapids to Dunn to Broadway, a small town in the middle of the state near Sanford. "Sanford was where we had to go to buy groceries," Parker said.
He grew up knowing about God but still vividly remembers the day he accepted Christ as his personal Savior.
"I was 9 years old and in a revival meeting. An evangelist came to our church to do a three-day revival and during that revival he began to preach about Jesus coming back again and at 9 years old I was sitting there just awed," Parker said. "I remembered my mom and dad all through my youth just sort of preparing me. They said that 'you'll not be able to get to heaven on our salvation, you'll have to do it yourself.' It was as if I couldn't stay in my seat. I went forward and committed my life to him."
Parker has been voted "Soloist of the Year' by Singing News Fan Awards eight times and has been nominated for the award again this year.
"It is such an honor," Parker said. "It is very humbling to accept these awards. You're out there all year long, singing, working, sharing this great message, you'd do it regardless of the awards. It's just a wonderful feeling to know the people respect you and respect what you do. I tell people all the time it's a joy to be able to do what I do. I share these awards with them."

Borders school with five pupils left closes
Eccles Leitholm primary school in Kelso has closed its doors after being left with just five pupils.
Scottish Borders Council has now decided to mothball the building for 12 months before deciding whether to close it for good.
Children have been educated in Eccles for the past 142 years, but pupil numbers have fallen steadily over the last three years.

Kelso hospital re-opens to new inpatients
The inpatient ward at Kelso Hospital has re-opened following recent cases of confirmed norovirus at the end of November.
The hospital is urging visitors to pay attention to prevention notices throughout the ward and to comply with medical staff.
Although the Borders General Hospital and our Community Hospitals currently have no ward closures this can change very quickly. In order to safeguard vulnerable patients and enable us to limit the spread of this highly infectious virus, we continue to ask members of the public to carefully consider their visits to the hospital, and that anyone who has experienced diarrhoea and vomiting symptoms in the past 48 hours does not visit the hospital."
New £21m Kelso school finally gets go-ahead
The building of a new £21.4 million school in Kelso has been given the go-ahead, and is expected to begin in early 2016.
Kelso High School will be built at Nethershot on Angraflat Road.
The project had stalled because of a European ruling, which affected ten schools and two health centres across the country.
But the Scottish Government now says that has been resolved.
I am pleased that the issues which have held back the new Kelso High School have finally been settled.
It has been a frustrating period for everyone associated with the school including the wider community, and the people of Kelso should be thanked for their patience during this time.
The new school will include grass and synthetic sports pitches and community facilities, which will provide health and educational benefits for not just generations of schoolchildren but the whole town."
Norovirus confirmed at Kelso Hospital
The 23-bed inpatient ward at Kelso Hospital remains closed to new admissions due as patients are confirmed as having norovirus.
The situation is being monitored and managed by NHS Borders Infection Prevention and Control Team.
Last week, Health Protection Scotland announced that there has been an increase in levels of norovirus (sometimes called the winter vomiting bug) across Scotland.
"Norovirus has been confirmed in Kelso Hospital and is circulating around the community. In order to safeguard vulnerable patients and support our efforts to limit the spread of this highly infectious virus, we continue to ask members of the public to carefully consider their visits to community hospitals and the Borders General Hospital. This advice is particularly relevant to anyone who has experienced diahorrea and vomiting symptoms in the past 48 hours."
"Norovirus is one of the most common causes of diarrhoea and vomiting illness. It is very infectious and spreads quickly between people. This is why outbreaks happen in hospitals where a number of people are sharing facilities. However it doesn't just occur in hospitals, and can start abruptly and spread quickly through communities. It is vital to protect yourselves and your loved ones from catching this unpleasant virus. Patients, visitors and staff can help minimise the spread by complying with instructions given by staff and paying attention to the signs at the entrances to the hospital and wards."
WATCH: 4,500 mile trip from Kelso... to Kelso
A Scottish Borders town is sending one of its residents on a trip of more than 4,500 miles... in the hope that they can establish twin-town status.
Kelso in Scotland is aiming to forge links with Kelso in Washington state in the Northwest corner of the United States.
It's a city that was planned and founded by a former Scottish Borders immigrant in the 1880s.
Kim Inglis has this report:
Concern for 70-year-old missing in Kelso
Police are growing increasingly concerned for the welfare of a 70-year-old woman from Kelso.
Maureen Tait from Oakfield Court was last seen at around 6am this morning as she walked towards Sainsbury's.
She still hasn't returned home, and concern is growing because she has dementia.
She is 5ft 6ins tall with a slim build and shoulder-length light brown hair, which is greying. She was last seen wearing a blue coat, scarf and blue shoes.
Given Maureen's condition we are eager to establish her whereabouts as soon as possible and ensure she is returned home safely.
Anyone with information that can help us find Maureen is asked to contact police immediately."
Two men remanded in custody over Kelso armed robbery
Two men have been remanded in custody at Selkirk Sheriff Court in connection with an armed robbery in Kelso earlier this month.
It was the second private court appearance for James Irvine, who is 53, and Steven Modeste, 36, following their arrest.
Both men face charges of assault and robbery as well as possession of a prohibited weapon for their involvement in the robbery which took place at the Original Factory Shop on Bowmont Street.
No plea or declaration was made and the pair were fully committed for trial.
There was no motion for bail and the pair were remanded in custody.
During the raid shop assistants including pregnant 31-year-old Jacqui Young were assaulted, before a sum of money was stolen.
Police Scotland are still keen to trace a third suspect.

text: Brawling and BeltingRichard Lawson2/08/08 12:21pmFiled to: the theatrefight clubMusicals48EditInvite manuallyPromoteDismissUndismissHideShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Rumors continue to be bandied about that Fight Club, a novel by Chuck Palahniuk and later a film by David Fincher, could become a Broadway musical. The tale of two men (SPOILER: It's one guy) who start a brawling, anarchistic little gentlemens club that quickly gets out of hand seems like a strange fit for the singing stage, but the recent critical lauding of both the bare bones Broadway revival and hyper-violent film versions of Steven Sondheim's Sweeney Todd may be encouraging producers that it could work. Reports have even suggested that Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor might be writing the score. A film (and book) with a dark cult following, made into a musical by a musician with an even darker cult following? Seems like a strange fit for the bubblegum cult of Broadway. I suggest taking it to The Atlantic, where more off-beat shows like Spring Awakening get a chance to stretch their legs. [EW.com]Reply48 repliesLeave a reply

With reference to Java Timer Class or ScheduledExecutorService interface ,Can I set a scheduler(or timer) inside run method (or TimerTask) of the executor thread(other scheduler)?
Case Study: I have a database containing a list of songs(10,000) and schedule time to play the song.
So I thought of creating a scheduler(say 1)(of period 1 hour) which will search the database and create scheduler for all songs which are scheduled to be played within one hour.
After one hour the scheduler1 will delete all the threads and again search the database and create scheduler for other threads.
Is it a good idea?Possible to create?
Or should I create 10000 scheduler at once?
In this case which one will be better timer or scheduler?

Friday - July 15, 2011
From: Washington, DC
Region: Mid-Atlantic
Topic: Non-Natives
Title: Need suggestions for alternatives for Crape Myrtle in Washington, DC.
Answered by: Jimmy Mills
QUESTION:What can you recommend as native alternatives to the shorter (garden-sized) crape myrtle cultivars?
To get an idea of the size of plants we need to look for, I consulted this link from North Carolina State University and found that dwarf cultivars of Crape Myrtle range from 5 to 20'.
The Houston Chapter of the Native Plant Society of Texas (NPSOT) has a program called NICE (Natives Instead of Common Exotics) that encourages people to utilize native plants in their landscape, and provides suggested alternatives for the exotics. Below is an excerpted list of "Bird and Butterfly Plants" which has several alternatives for crape myrtle.
Small Trees:
Mexican Plum, Redbud, Green Hawthorn, Deciduous Holly, Cherry Laurel, Wild Crab Apple, American Holly, Red Buckeye, Sweet Bay Magnolia, Farkleberry, Smooth Sumac, Flame-Leaf Sumac, Tooth-Ache Tree
Instead of Exotics:
Bradford Pear, Crape Myrtle, Wax Leaf Ligustrum, Red tip Photinia
Medium Sized Trees:
Red Buckeye, American Hop Hornbeam, Hornbeam, Gum Bumelia, Flowering Dogwood, Rough-leaf Dogwood,
Mexican Plum, Redbud, Carolina Buckthorn, Drummond Red Maple, Green Hawthorn, American Holly
Instead of Exotics:
Bradford Pear, Chinese Elm (also known as lacebark, Drake, Allee, Bosque Elm), Crape Myrtle, Red tip Photinia,
Chinese Tallow, Goldenrain Tree, Chinese Umbrella Tree (also known as Chinaberry Tree or Melia), Mimosa,
This sort of looks overwhelming but if we utilize our Native Plant Database, we might can make it manageable.
First, lets select a few plants that could be possibilities. ( Redbud, Cherry Laurel, Flame-leaf sumac, Deciduous Holly). Now go to the the Database and enter each plant name (one at a time) in the "Search native plant database" box. Click the "go" button, and you will get the NPIN page for that plant. Things to look for on the page: the scientific name of the plant, a description of the plant that includes its mature size, growth requirements such as amount of water, light needed, and soil type, and other plant characteristics. Scroll down to the "Additional Resources" box and click on the plant name next to USDA plants. The page that comes up contains a distribution map that shows the geographical areas where the plant grows.
Do this for all of the plants on our short list, and if you are still having fun, continue on through the long list and see what strikes your fancy.
Our Suppliers Directory can help you locate businesses in your area that sell the plants you select .

Comprehensive Description
General: Aster Family (Asteraceae). This native perennial has a stout, rhizomatous root system. It grows from 0.9 m to 2.5 m tall with stems occurring singly or in clusters. The central stem is stout, light green to light red, and covered with short, dense white hairs. Leaves are alternate, up to 30 cm long and 5 cm wide, sessile, narrowly lance-shaped, and folded upward from the central vein. Leaf surfaces are covered with white hairs; margins are smooth or loosely toothed. Short inflorescence stalks emerge from the leaf axils, bearing one composite flower head and one to two leaves. Each inflorescence has two pale green bracts at its base, is 5 to 7 cm in diameter, and has 20 to 40 yellow ray flowers and many yellow disc flowers. Flowering occurs in September and early October. Fruits are achenes that ripen in October and November and are wind or animal dispersed.
The characteristic that distinguishes Maximilian sunflower from other Helianthus species is the grayish appearance given off by dense white hairs on the plant.
Distribution: Maximilian sunflower is native to the central United States, from Ontario, Michigan, and Ohio, west to Alberta, Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado and south to Texas. It may be sparsely introduced east and west of its native range. For current distribution, please consult the Plant Profile page for this species on the PLANTS Web site (http://plants.usda.gov).

Occurrence in North America
The USDA hardiness zones for Maximilian sunflower are 3 to 9. Although it can grow in a variety of conditions, it prefers moist clay-like soils, soil depths of 50 cm or more, 250 to 1,270 mm annual precipitation, gentle slopes, and full sun. Soil, moisture, and topography can be variable, but Maximilian sunflower will not tolerate shade. It tends to grow very tall in moist rich soil and may become top-heavy when in bloom. Growth is poor on gravel, dense clay, or saline soils.
Maximilian sunflower plants are allelopathic. They produce chemicals that hinder the growth of neighboring plants. These chemicals are not harmful to livestock and wildlife.
Physical Description
Maximilian sunflower is a warm-season, bunching, perennial native forb
[44]. It grows 1.6 to 8.2 feet (0.5-2.5 m) tall [17], with a spread of
1 to 3 feet (0.3-0.9 m) [21]. Stems grow singly or clustered from short
rhizomes [44]. The flowers occur in long, raceme-like inflorescences
[15]. The floral head is 1.5 to 3 inches (4-8 cm) wide [1]. The fruit
is an achene 0.12 to 0.16 (3-4 mm) long [17]. Maximilian sunflower has
short, thick, rhizomatous rootstocks [17] with crown-buds [15].

In early winter, rake Maximilian sunflower seeds into loose topsoil and cover with 0.25 to 0.5 inch of soil or mulch. A long cold period is required before germination. The average number of seeds per pound varies by location. The South Dakota Plant Materials Center has listed 250,000 seeds per pound while both the North Carolina Department of Transportation and Texas A&M University report 182,000 seeds per pound. The appropriate seeding rate for pure Maximilian sunflower stands is 5 pounds per acre, allowing space between germinated plants.
If used as part of a prairie seed mixture, Maximilian sunflower seeds should be included at a rate of 0.1 to 0.25 pound per acre. Optimal seeding times are November to May in the central Great Plains and January to March in the southern Great Plains. In Nebraska, Maximilian sunflower established best when weeds were controlled mechanically. Seedling vigor is good.
Growth occurs in late spring and summer with some flowering by the end of the first season. Most Maximilian sunflower plants are not fully developed until the second season. Plants primarily spread by rhizomes after establishment.
Faunal Associations
General Ecology
Fire Management Considerations
In southwestern Minnesota, a degraded prairie that had been invaded by
shrubs and cool-season grasses was burned each spring from 1983 to 1987.
Native warm-season grasses and forbs, including Maximilian sunflower,
increased in dominance, and the prairie became more open each year.
Maximilian sunflower showed increased vigor, and new individuals were
established [2].
In the High and Rolling Plains of Texas, prescribed fire is used every 3
to 5 years to maintain optimum quail habitat in the grass stands where
Maximilian sunflower occurs [6].
In the Northern Great Plains, the best increases in Maximilian sunflower
vigor, canopy cover, and seed production are obtained with late spring
(May-June) fires [19].
Plant Response to Fire
Fire usually enhances Maximilian sunflower, probably by removing litter,
allowing more sunlight to reach the soil surface, and reducing
Maximilian sunflower was burned in prescribed fires in May, 1970 and
May, 1971 in east-central North Dakota. It increased in cover more than
100 percent within the first 2 postfire years [23].
When dead vegetation mulch was burned in North Dakota in 1968 and 1969,
Maximilian sunflower and other plants grew taller, stiffer, and seeded
more vigorously [40].
Tallgrass prairie sites containing Maximilian sunflower in northwestern
Minnesota were subjected to prescribed fire in early May, 1972. The
removal of litter by fire varied with the site. In undisturbed prairie
on a mesic site, flowering decreased significantly following fire. On a
wet-mesic site in highly disturbed prairie, there was a slight,
nonsignificant decrease in flowering. On a wet swale in undisturbed
prairie, there was a very significant increase in flowering [32].

Fire Ecology
can reproduce by rhizomes [44]. It produces numerous, small,
wind-dispersed seeds which germinate over a wide range of temperature
and moisture regimes [38] and can establish on burned sites. Maximilian
sunflower thrives in the open, sunny conditions created by fire [14].
Maximilian sunflower seeds have been found in the seedbank [26], and it
may be an initial on-site colonizer, but no information was available on
seed tolerance to heat or length of seed viability in the seedbank.
Regeneration Processes
It also spreads vegetatively by rhizomes, and can form large colonies
Maximilian sunflower cultivar "Aztec" seeds germinate within 1 to 3
weeks with a germination temperature regime of 12 hours each day at 86
degrees Fahrenheit (30 deg C) or lower [31]. With other seed sources,
germination can occur in 7 to 14 days, but nearly half can be dormant.
Seedling vigor is good [44].
Maximilian sunflower seeds from the soilbank at 22 typical habitats in
Kansas were collected in November, 1945, and stored in cool, dry
conditions until February, 1946. Subsequent germination tests showed
two major periods of germination: one between days 6 and 25, and another
between days 46 and 55 [26].

Life Form
Successional Status
Facultative Seral Species
Maximilian sunflower thrives in sunlight and has only fair shade
tolerance [44]. Stand longevity can be 5 or more years [9].
Life History and Behavior
Maximilian sunflower seeds germinate best when soil is warm [31],
generally in May throughout much of the area in which it occurs. Stands
develop rather rapidly from seed. Growth occurs in late spring and
summer [43], with some flowering possible by the end of the first
growing season in the South. However, plants are not usually fully
developed until the second year [44]. Maximilian sunflower dies back to
the ground each year, and regenerates new growth from rhizomes or
root crown buds [43]. Plants continue to spread by rhizomes after
establishment [44].

Management considerations
Planting for wildlife: Maximilian sunflower has been planted for cover
and as a food source for scaled quail, northern bobwhites, and mourning
doves in the High and Rolling Plains of Texas [6]. It is a good
addition to a mix of shrubs, forbs, and grasses for use as wildlife
habitat [42].
Planting for prairie establishment: Due to its aggressive spreading,
Maximilian sunflower should be lightly seeded in prairie grass mixtures.
Optimal seeding times are November to May in the Central Great Plains,
and January to March in the Southern Great Plains. Early planting may
aid in breaking seed dormancy [44]. Maximilian sunflower requires low
to moderate moisture and full sun [37]. It was included in a mix of
native prairie grasses and forbs used to establish prairie on previously
cultivated fields in eastern Nebraska from 1975 to 1978. It proved to
be susceptible to herbicides, and established best when mechanical means
were used to control weeds [5].
When buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica) in Minnesota was removed by cutting
and stump treatment with herbicide in 1985, Maximilian sunflower, which
had not been present, germinated in treated areas within 3 months of
initial treatment [4].
Maximilian sunflower was evaluated and grown at the Soil Conservation
Service Plant Materials Center in Kansas. Planting procedures are
described [9]. Maximilian sunflower seed accessions are held at
the wild sunflower (Helianthus spp.) nursery of the Plant Introduction
Station in Ames, Iowa. The collection can be used for problems in
prairie establishment or restoration [45].
Grazing: Maximilian sunflower is not common on closely grazed ranges.
Seedlings should be protected from close use and trampling. Moderate
grazing and periodic deferment of grazing during the growing season
enhance the persistance of Maxmimilan sunflower [44].
Cultivars, improved and selected materials (and area of origin)
The USDA NRCS Plant Materials Center has released Maximilian sunflower cultivars 'Aztec' and 'Prairie Gold' for conservation use. 'Aztec' was released for the purposes of wildlife food, livestock forage cover, natural hedges, screens, filterstrips, and as ornamental landscape plants. 'Prairie Gold' was released for critical area reseeding and wildlife food plantings. These plant materials are readily available from commercial sources.
Seed production
Seeds are ready for collection in late October and November. They are moist stratified for 56 days. Germination occurs at an alternating cycle of 30oC daytime and 15oC nighttime temperatures. The optimum soil temperature for germination is 20oC to 30oC. Seventy percent of seeds will germinate in 7 to 25 days.
One-year-old plants sprout new shoots that can be dug up and cut from the parent plant. Division and transplantation should take place in February or March.
Maximilian sunflower plants growing on rich, fertile sites will grow tall and spindly. Weak stems will cause the plants to fall and can be staked to remain upright. Older stems can be mechanically cut back at the end of the season to make room for new sprouts.
Maximilian sunflower exhibits fire tolerance in its dormant stage. Seedlings will emerge on open, post-burned sites from the underground seedbank and rhizomes. Following fire in North Dakota, Maximilian sunflower grew taller, stiffer, and seeded more vigorously. Research suggests that plant performance increases following fire in disturbed, invaded areas but not on undisturbed areas. Fire removes competition and opens up the canopy for Maximilian sunflower in the disturbed areas.
Relevance to Humans and Ecosystems
Other uses and values
Maximilian sunflower roots can be prepared and eaten like those of
Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus). Native American tribes of
the Great Plains ate them raw, boiled, or roasted [28].
Maximilian sunflower was evaluated as a potential source of industrial
raw materials. Since the natural rubbers present are of low molecular
weight, they may have commercial applications [35].
Maximilian sunflower is used as a garden ornamental [28].
Cover Value
The cover value of Maximilian sunflower for several species of wildlife
in some western states is as follows [10]:
Elk ---- poor
Mule deer fair poor
White-tailed deer fair poor
Pronghorn fair poor
Upland game birds fair ----
Waterfowl poor ----
Small nongame birds fair ----
Maximilian sunflower is a palatable livestock forage of good quality,
[22], and is also used by deer [44]. It remains green after
many other forbs have matured [22], but little use is made of the
herbage after frost [44]. The seeds are choice food for quail and
dove [42], and are eaten by many other birds [44].
Maximilian sunflower palatability for livestock in several western
states is as follows [10]:
Cattle fair fair good
Sheep fair fair fair
Horses fair ---- good
Importance to Livestock and Wildlife
Maximilian sunflower is part of the tall, thick, ungrazed cover in North
Dakota that ducks and pheasants seek out for nesting. It also provides
winter cover and its seeds are an important winter food [40].
In Montana, Maximilian sunflower is rated as valuable fall forage for
Rocky Mountain elk [25].
Value for rehabilitation of disturbed sites
Plant Materials Center in Kansas to be appropriate for use in
rehabilitation of degraded sites and for visual enhancement. In field
tests it showed excellent vigor [21].
Maximilian sunflower has been used successfully for revegetation of coal
minespoils in Kansas. It established with native grasses on abandoned
spoils graded to rolling topography, limed, and disced [43].
The Soil Conservation Service recommends Maximilian sunflower cultivar
"Aztec" for use in rehabilitation in southern Oklahoma, all of Texas
except the Trans-Pecos region, and eastward. The cultivar "Prairie
Gold" has greater cold tolerance, and can be used for revegetation
farther north [44].
Maximilian sunflower is suggested for use on roadsides, in parks, for
wildlife habitat, and in establishing prairies [37].
Nutritional Value
is poor [10].
The food value of Maximilian sunflower for several species of wildlife
in some western states is as follows [10]:
Elk ---- poor ---- good
Mule deer ---- poor good poor
White-tailed deer ---- ---- good poor
Pronghorn poor ---- good ----
Upland game birds ---- ---- fair ----
Waterfowl ---- ---- poor ----
Small nongame birds ---- ---- good ----
Erosion control: Maximilian sunflower has a perennial root crown and rhizomatous root system. Annual stems are produced from underground stems. This growth pattern allows Maximilian sunflower to spread and form dense plant clusters, reinforcing soil and preventing erosion.
Ethnobotanic: Native Americans used parts of this plant as sources of food, oil, dye, and thread. Pioneers planted Maximilian sunflowers near their homes to repel mosquitoes and used the blossoms in bathwater to relieve arthritis pain. Sunflower seeds are eaten as snack items and sprinkled on salads and other foods.
Industrial products: The natural rubber present in Maximilian sunflower qualifies the plant as a potential source of industrial raw materials.
Livestock: Although the protein value of Maximilian sunflower is poor, it is a palatable livestock forage species. It remains green late into the fall and is consumed until the first frost makes it less flavorful. It is plentiful on ranges that are not closely grazed.
Moderate grazing can increase the presence of Maximilian sunflower.
Ornamental: The bright yellow flowers of Maximilian sunflower make it a popular choice for use in native gardens. It can be utilized as a hedge or natural screen because of its height.
Restoration: Maximilian sunflower is used as a conservation planting for habitat development, prairie restoration and landscaping, and range and pasture maintenance. It can be used in filterstrip plantings. It has been used with native grasses in Kansas to revegetate coalmine spoils.
Wildlife: Butterflies, beetles, and long- and short-tongued bees consume the nectar or pollen produced the flowers of Maximilian sunflower. Butterfly caterpillars feed on the foliage while moth caterpillars bore through the stems. Upland game birds, small non-game birds, and some waterfowl consume its seeds. Rabbits and groundhogs feed on young plants while elk, mule deer, white-tailed deer, and pronghorn antelope browse and graze older plants. It has poor nutritional value for these species. Habitat and cover are provided to birds and small mammals by individual plant clusters and dense colonies formed with other shrub-like plants.
Helianthus maximiliani
Helianthus maximiliani (also, H. maximilianii) is a species of sunflower known by the common name Maximilian sunflower.
This sunflower is named for Prince Maximilian of Wied-Neuwied, who encountered it on his travels in North America.
Native to much of the eastern half of North America, it is found in parts of the western half as an introduced species. The plant thrives in a number of ecosystems, particularly across the plains in central Canada and the United States. It is also cultivated as an ornamental.[1]
A branching perennial herb, growing from a stout rhizome and reaches heights from one half to three meters. The slender, tall, erect stems and alternately-arranged leaves are covered in rough hairs.
The lance-shaped leaves are narrow, pointed, folded down the midvein, and up to 30 centimeters long on large plants.
The flower heads are surrounded at the base by pointed green phyllaries which often stick straight out and curl at the tips. The center is filled with yellow tipped brown disc florets and the circumference is lined with bright yellow ray florets 2 to 4 centimeters long.
The plant reproduces by seed and by vegetative sprouting from the rhizome.
The thick rhizome is edible and provided a food similar to the Jerusalem artichoke for Native American groups such as the Sioux. The flower heads are attractive to insects and the fruits are eaten by birds.
The Land Institute, a perennial agriculture research center located in Salina, Kansas, run by Wes Jackson is experimenting with this species to create a perennial oilseed grain crop that does not necessitate replanting each season.
