Today, Over the Hills is known for its specialty fruit spreads, preserves, toppings, and chocolates, and yes - tourists can even buy fruit trees from their orchards. While the province is known for fruits such as saskatoons and cranberries, what the Kreutzers are growing - plums, peaches, figs, nectarines, grapes, pears, apricots and almonds - is usually unheard of here. The Kreutzers soon found that the challenge was to incorporate and adapt this knowledge to the challenges of Saskatchewan’s climate in many cases, they were breaking new ground. They also made many connections through the internet with growers and fruit breeders around the world. The couple travelled to many regions in North America to learn from growers who had accumulated years of knowledge. Moreover, while Sylvia grew up on the farm, growing fruit was different than slopping pigs and herding cattle.ĭean took horticulture classes via correspondence through the University of Saskatchewan to acquire the basics of plant anatomy and fruit production, while he learned the art of fruit breeding in hopes of creating hardier varieties that could grow in this climate. Meanwhile, 30 years of city life never prepared him for rural life - the learning curve was vertical. Many people questioned his decision, but never his enthusiasm. ![]() It was quite the transformation for Dean: from computer programmer to certified organic fruit grower. Husband and wife team Dean and Sylvia Kreutzer left behind their careers in Regina in 2000 and purchased 16 hectares (40 acres) in hopes of breeding exotic fruits in Saskatchewan’s cooler climate and short growing season. Nestled in the Qu’Appelle Valley is Lumsden’s Over the Hills Orchards and Winery, which grows various organic fruits and offers picnics, suppers, tours and wine-tasting activities.

Both of these animals could do some major damage with a bite, considering the bite of both animals possesses more than the force necessary to crush a bowling ball. Much like a human fight, there will likely be a lot of attempted attacks and waiting for openings. But if it’s careful, the gorilla may catch the bear off-guard and get an early attack in.īut let’s assume neither animal lands any decisive blows right off the bat, and that they start posting up for the fight and analyzing the situation. It’s worth noting that despite their large and heavy appearance, bears have no issue with turning while in a charge. Gorilla supporters will definitely hope for a well-timed dodge or jump if this scenario takes place. This is where our primate pal’s maneuverability may come in handy. Furthermore, if the grizzly manages to plant a hard hit on the Gorilla right off of its initial charge (which again, can be at speeds of up to 35 mph), that might prove very detrimental for the gorilla. To start, the grizzly’s weight advantage packs quite a punch if the bear lands a clean hit with the force of its weight. Gorilla ≈ opposable thumbs, superior maneuvering abilities (jumping), faster and more efficient climbing skills, far better and more likely to use projectilesĪs you can see, most stats lean heavily either way, but there’s really no conclusion to be drawn from these projections without further analysis into the implications of them. Grizzly ≈ Claws, great swimming skills, incredible sense of smell, faster sprint WEIGHT- Grizzly ≈ 800 lbs., Gorilla ≈ 300-485 lbs.īITE FORCE- Grizzly ≈ 1,160 PSI, Gorilla ≈ 1,300 PSI HEIGHT- Grizzly ≈ 5-8 feet, Gorilla ≈ 4-6 feet TOP SPEED- Grizzly≈ 35mph, Gorilla ≈ 20mph (Statistics on the participants’ strength as a whole both vary and are somewhat lacking due to difficulty of acquiring such data, but virtually all reliable statistics place gorillas much higher as far as physical strength goes.) GENERAL STRENGTH (LIFT)- Grizzly up to ≈ 1100lbs, Gorilla up to ≈ 1,800 lbs. Let’s lay out some numbers for reference: Fight ends when either animal dies or is otherwise incapacitated.No other animals are present to interfere, and no human technology is obtainable to either participant.Both animals have the intention of fighting, and there is no chance of backing down.This is a head to head confrontation, therefore both animals begin within each other’s line of sight.There are trees, some foliage, a bit of open field area, changes in elevation, a river, and a small, still body of water. The fight will take place in an environment in which aspects of both animals’ natural habitat are present.But before we can go any further, let’s lay out the rules, along with some basic numbers. It’s high time that I take it upon myself to put this discussion to bed once and for all, and deliver a well researched, heavily analyzed thesis on who would win: a grizzly bear, or a silverback gorilla. ![]() ![]() Whenever I engage in this conversation, I am left dumbfounded, saddened, and questioning the educational system of this country.

![]() Each place is home to a Confederate monument in a highly conspicuous, public space. Four of them are featured here Athens, Augusta, Louisville, and Canton (Cherokee County), and Decatur. Throughout my life, I have called several locations across Georgia home. The gathering of white supremacists to protest the removal of the city’s Confederate monument and its horrific aftermath sparked a national conversation about these structures and their fate. These experiences very clearly in my mind established a mythology of the South and an ideal life I could never attain although I was too young to articulate it.Īugmarked the first anniversary of the Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

The City Council is expected to take up that recommendation Tuesday and make a final decision. The committee voted to remove it from downtown. Our concern is that by taking down, relocating, removing the Market House we are going to lose that history.” ![]() “Everything we leave here today is history. “To us, everything that we see, everything we come across, is history,” he said at a meeting of the committee in July, according to the Augusta Chronicle. Yonchak was on a committee tasked with making a recommendation to city officials about what to do with it. Robert Yonchak said members of a local historical society hoped to do a better job of educating people about the structure, but were against removing it. Like some opponents of removing Confederate monuments, residents who want to keep the Market House where it currently stands cite its historical value and say it can serve to teach visitors about the horrors of slavery. ![]() It’s telling me that I am less than a dog or a cow or a horse that’s being sold.” “I see that Black people in this country are no more than three-fifths of a human. “When I ride by there, I see women with their children being torn apart and sold to other white men as their property,” said James Ivery, a former Louisville resident who is pushing for the structure's removal.

Proposed by a physic William John Macquorn in 1859, Rankine scale is denoted as R or Ra. Kelvin is one of the seven SI base units. The triple point of water is defined as being precisely 273.16 K and 0.01 ☌. ![]() Absolute zero is a temperature referring to theoretical absence of all the heat or thermal energy of a system or substance. Kelvin (a thermodynamic absolute temperature) defined as a unit increment and on a Kelvin scale absolute zero is literally zero (0 K or/and -273.15 ☌). This progress connects the Celsius scale to Kelvin (K) scale. What is Kelvin?Īccording to a new international agreement, both Celsius scale and a unit degree Celsius are defined by two terms triple point of water and absolute zero. The scale places the freezing and boiling points of water exactly 180 degrees apart, because in this scale the freezing point of water is 32 degrees (32 ☏) and the boiling point is 212 degrees. The degree Fahrenheit is a scale of temperature having specific freezing and boiling points of water. This temperature scale was proposed by German physicist Denial Gabriel Fahrenheit. The name centigrade is derived from Latin language, meaning a hundred degrees’. ![]() Celsius scale is still commonly called as ‘centigrade’ which was in fact its previous name. Temperature interval is a difference between the two temperatures. A degree Celsius can also serve as a unit increment in a temperature, defining a temperature interval. Celsius scale (C) is a specific temperature on a temperature scale. It is named after the famous astronomer Andres Celsius.
