Passage: Okra or okro ( or ), known in many English-speaking countries as ladies' fingers or ochro, is a flowering plant in the mallow family. It is valued for its edible green seed pods.

Title: Euphorbia trigona
Passage: Euphorbia trigona (also known as African milk tree, cathedral cactus, Abyssinian euphorbia, and high chaparall ) is a perennial plant that originally comes from Central Africa. It has an upright stem that is branched into three or four sides. The stem itself is dark green with V-shaped light green patterns. The about 5mm long thorns are placed in pairs of two on the stem's ridges. The drop shaped leaves grow from between the two thorns on each ridge. The plant has never been known to flower, and is possibly a hybrid. As with many other "Euphorbia" species, the latex from the plant is poisonous and can cause skin irritations. The trigona can withstand brief cold temperatures of up to -3 degrees. It prefers sandy soil but can withstand most types of soil, provided it is well draining. It can root very easily from stem cuttings, if allowed to dry for 3-7 days before planting so that it can form a callus and not rot. It grows from 1.5 - 3 meters. It is a pest-free plant. A problem that some trigonas face is that they are susceptible to falling over when fully grown because of their shallow and small root system
Title: Helleborus lividus
Passage: Helleborus lividus is a species of flowering plant in the family Ranunculaceae, native to Majorca and possibly nearby Cabrera, Spain. It is an evergreen perennial growing to 45 cm tall by 30 cm wide, with deep green or bluish green, glossy leaves and light green or pinkish-green flowers opening nearly flat and appearing from midwinter to early spring. The Latin "lividus" refers to the colour of the leaves (literally "lead-grey"). It may be best grown in a greenhouse in frost-prone areas. Propagation is from seed.

It is traditionally called the "King of Terriers" because it is the largest of the terrier breeds. The Airedale was bred from the Old English Black and Tan Terrier (now extinct), the Bull Terrier, the Otterhound and probably some other Terrier breeds, originally to serve as an all around working farm dog.

New breeds from the wild such as the Carolina Dog are quite rare compared to attempts at breed creation from man as found in the American Hairless Terrier which sought to exploit a mutation.

Title: Buddhist Views on Romantic Relationships
Passage: In regards to romantic relationships, Buddhism has very liberal views. Buddhism encourages independence through non attachment. Non attachment is the idea that in order to be fulfilled and happy in life, a person cannot be attached to any one thing because this thing can cause suffering. In order to be happy and to follow the path of enlightenment, Buddhism teaches people to discard all things in life that can cause pain. This idea is not referring to worldly objects in the physical sense, but in a spiritual sense. To achieve non attachment, one must detach from the idea of a perfect person and holding one’s partner to an impossible standard. Instead, one must accept a partner for who they are unconditionally. In Buddhism, this is the key to a happy romantic relationship. Accepting a partner for who they are, for who they are throughout their life no matter what changes, and making the best of every situation is how one achieves personal fulfillment in a romantic relationship.

Title: Alexander Hamilton

His vision included a strong central government led by a vigorous executive branch, a strong commercial economy, with a national bank and support for manufacturing, plus a strong military. This was challenged by Virginia agrarians Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, who formed a rival party, the Democratic-Republican Party.

Her thirty-year career covered both world wars and took her across the Atlantic, Indian, Arctic and Pacific Oceans.

Title: Queen Elizabeth-class battleship
Passage: The "Queen Elizabeth"-class battleships were a class of five super-dreadnoughts of the Royal Navy commissioned in 1915–16. The lead ship was named after Elizabeth I of England. These battleships were superior in firepower, protection and speed to their Royal Navy predecessors of the "Iron Duke" class as well as preceding German classes such as the "König" class , although the corresponding "Bayern"-class ships were competitive except for being 2 kn slower. As such, the "Queen Elizabeth"s are generally considered the first fast battleships.

Only two ships were laid down before the Second World War began in September 1939 and a third was ordered during the war, but their construction was suspended shortly afterwards. Their design changed several times in response to the removal of treaty restrictions on size and in light of war experience. None of the other ships planned were laid down, although there was a proposal to modify one of the suspended ships into a hybrid battleship/aircraft carrier with two 16-inch gun turrets and a flight deck. The two ships already begun were scrapped after the end of the war.
Title: Iowa-class battleship

Like other third-generation American battleships, the "Iowa"s followed the design pattern set forth in the preceding "North Carolina"-class and "South Dakota"-class battleships, which emphasized speed in addition to secondary and anti-aircraft batteries. Based on wartime experience, they were to serve as fast escorts for "Essex"-class aircraft carrier s.
