This stitch is often called a lazy daisy, but that name actually refers to a group of single, detached chain stitches arranged in the shape of a flower.​ This highly textured surface embroidery stitch is wider than a standard chain stitch, making it perfect for use in wide bands and rows. It can be used to outline shapes, as a border, or to join two pieces of material together using a decorative, open lacy stitch....

Cards Print card, decorate however you wish, and add your favorite Mother’s Day wish. If you use markers, we suggest pasting two pieces of paper together when you make the card so that the marker won’t bleed through. Bookmarks Print and cut out bookmark, decorate.

Conceived in 1962, the Concorde was an unlikely collaboration of the British and French governments. The first prototype flew in 1969 amid great outpourings of national pride. Commercial service began in 1976. New York to London in About Three Hours On a typical flight, the Concorde cruised at Mach 2.02 (about 1,330 mph), more than twice as fast as any other jetliner. It cut New York-to-London flight time from more than seven hours to 3 hrs 15 min....

The reason for this is that the ratio of the paper’s width to height may not match the ratio of the viewfinder’s width to height. As a result, a portion of the captured image may be cropped out when it is printed on paper. To further complicate matters, a 5x7 print does not use the same crop as an 8x10, and neither is the same as a 4x6. In order to ensure your photo prints come out the way you intended when you took the picture, it’s important to understand how cropping works in relation to standard print sizes....

Forty Differences Between Species In March 2007, scientists at the U.S. National Cancer Institute announced that genetic testing had determined that there are about 40 differences between the two species. For example, the clouded leopard of Borneo and Sumatra has darker fur and smaller cloud markings than the mainland leopard. The spots inside the “clouds” on the island clouded leopard are more distinct than those on the mainland animal. The differences between the cousins are as marked as those between lions, tigers, and jaguars....

California condors eat the remains of dead animals. Crows can be seen eating small mammals, like squirrels, that have been killed on roads. Marabou storks of the Eastern Hemisphere travel with vultures and hyenas, and eat dead fish, reptiles, and other animals — even elephants. Seagulls like to hunt fish, insects, and earthworms, but will also eat carrion and go through garbage for food. Vultures are full-time scavengers. Young marine eels will eat dead fish and crustaceans....

The company started as an online seller of personalized merchandise and even invested on kiosk selling key chains and t-shirts. With popularity and added profits, the company started to conglomerate bigger known brands. Also, there weren’t much people on board at that time. The hiring bar increased with the increase in the workforce. Earlier there were many employers who can’t even receive their customers well.
