Meaning of Different Color RosesBy Adam Carter
Roses come in many varieties of color but the main ones are yellow, Orange/Peach, Lavender/Purple, Pink, Red and White.Yellow Roses - The sun has always been a symbol of warmth and life giving power. And yellow roses are no different. We give yellow roses to those people we wish to share our joy, delight or happiness with. Yellow roses are a sign of true friendship, of “Congratulations” or “Welcome Back”.Orange (Peach) Roses - Orange has long been a color of vibrant energy. A gift of orange roses means passion, desire or a personal fascination or longing. Peach roses with their more muted colors are a sign of sincerity, gratitude or sympathy.Lavender (Purple) Roses - The lavender rose symbolizes love at first sight. They are a sign of enchantment and mean, “I adore you”. Purple roses are also symbols of instant enchantment but also of elegance and grandeur. Is also a modern sign of alternative relationships.Pink Roses - Grace, gentility and refinement are the meaning of pink roses. This rose is gentle emotions, sweet and innocent thoughts. Pink roses are often given as gift of admiration or simple joy and happiness.Red Roses - This color rose has long been the ancient symbol of love and beauty.

Floating Plants,
Plant,
Water Plants
Water plants
are traditionally divided into three categories : floating plants, shallow-water bog or marsh plants and submerged plants. Easy available from garden centers and through mail-order catalogues.
1) Floating Plants
There are two categories of floating plants : free-floaters, which have roots hanging freely in the water, and attached floaters, whose leaves float on the surface but whose roots are attached to the bottom. Floating plants are easy to care for and efficient natural water filters, removing large quantities of nitrogen, phosphate and other substances from the water. They compete with algae for nutrients, thereby minimizing the chance of algal overgrowths.
2) Shallow-water bog or marsh plants
Plants that grow in shallow water with most of the plant above the surface, are included in this category. Many produce vegetation that is quite lush and varied. Bog plants grown in pots and scattered along marginal areas are beautiful additions to pond. Popular plants include the arrowhead plant (Sagittaria latifolia), unbrella plant (Cyperus alternifolius), pickerel weed (Pontederia cordata), water iris (Iris spp), sweet flag (Acourus calamus), and horsetail (Equisetum hyemale).
3) Submerged Plants
Submerged plants are rooted on the bottom, with their leaves totally below the surface. These plants are often sold for use in freshwater aquariums. Common examples include Cabomba, Elodea, and Ludwigia. Although they are excellent for removing nutrients and carbon dioxide from ponds, they are quicky uprooted and eaten by koi.
4) Sub Plants

suggesting that investors anticipate a bidding war.Both Dollar General and Dollar Tree have some capacity to go a little bit higher with the offer price, said Joseph Feldman, analyst at Telsey Advisory Group.Dollar stores have been a popular choice for low- and middle-income U.S. consumers in a weak economy. At the same time, Wal-Mart Stores Inc and other large retailers which serve a similar customer base have been struggling with weak sales amid a cutback in spending and a shift in preferences to stores nearer to home.The U.S. market for dollar stores grew 45.7 percent to $48.2 billion between 2008 and 2013 and is expected to grow 18 percent in the next five years, according to Euromonitor International.But the growth has recently started slowing due to intense competition, Kahn said.We have a tremendous amount of strength in the rural communities and we have things to learn in the metro, Dollar General Chief Executive Rick Dreiling said on a conference call. Family Dollar is just the reverse.The combined company would have nearly 20,000 stores across 46 U.S. states and annual sales in excess of $28 billion.It would also allow Dollar General to retain its No. 1 spot among U.S. dollar stores. Dollar Trees $8.5 billion bid for Family Dollar, announced on July 28, would have vaulted that merged company ahead of Dollar General.Combined, the three dollar chains annual sales total about $35 billion - less than a tenth of Wal-Marts $473 billion.Dreiling, who will postpone a retirement planned for next year to stay on as CEO of the combined company through May 2016, said Dollar General had faced stiffer competition from new Family Dollar stores than from Wal-Mart.Both Dollar General and Family Dollar offer goods at multiple price points, while Dollar Tree sticks rigidly to a $1 or less format. This - along with the location of Dollar General and Family Dollar stores - would make Dollar General a more likely buyer, analysts said.Family Dollars presence is biggest in Texas and the eastern United States. Texas is also home to more Dollar General stores than any other state - more than 1,000 stores, or about a tenth of the total.Family Dollar said on Monday it was reviewing Dollar Generals offer, but has not changed its recommendation in support for a merger with Dollar Tree.Family Dollar had agreed to a $74.50 per share cash and stock deal with Dollar Tree las
exas and the eastern United States. Texas is also home to more Dollar General stores than any other state - more than 1,000 stores, or about a tenth of the total.Family Dollar said on Monday it was reviewing Dollar Generals offer, but has not changed its recommendation in support for a merger with Dollar Tree.Family Dollar had agreed to a $74.50 per share cash and stock deal with Dollar Tree last month.Billionaire investor Carl Icahn, who in June took a 9.4 percent stake in Family Dollar, had pushed Family Dollar to sell itself to Dollar General.On Monday, Icahn said he was surprised by Family Dollars deal with Dollar Tree.He questioned whether Family Dollar CEO Howard Levines future role at Dollar Tree could have influenced the company to go ahead with the deal.Dollar Tree said last month that Levine would remain as Family Dollar CEO after the acquisition.Icahn has cut his stake in Family Dollar to 3.6 percent from 9.4 percent as of July 30.Activist investor Nelson Peltz-led Trian Partners was Family Dollars second-largest shareholder as of July 27 with a 7.34 percent stake.Dollar Tree declined to comment.Dollar Generals offer, made in a letter to Family Dollars board, represents a premium of 3.2 percent to Family Dollars Friday close.The enterprise value of the offer is $9.7 billion, higher than Dollar Trees $9.2 billion.Dollar Generals shares closed up 11 percent at $64.14, while Dollar Trees shares closed down 2.4 percent at $54.26.ANTITRUST CONCERNSDreiling, who said he would not have announced his retirement had he known a deal between Family Dollar and Dollar Tree was under way, said antitrust approval for Dollar Generals bid was not a concern.Dollar General is prepared to divest up to 700 retail stores to get regulatory approval for the deal, the same percentage that Dollar Tree had proposed.Edward Jones analyst Brian Yarbrough, however, said that more closings or divestitures might be needed.Any market where they are dominant, and they are the only two players, is going to be questioned, he said. Antitrust lawyer Jared Bona of Bona Law, however, said the deal was likely to pass regulatory muster without much trouble.I would be surprised if this deal is challenged under the antitrust laws because Dollar General is apparently willing to divest up to 700 retail stores to obtain antitrust approval. Stating that up front means they probably don

s chairman, business tycoon Masayoshi Son, is betting new prices will revive a carrier hampered by an expensive network overhaul and rising competition.The message is simple: We are back in the game. We are going to offer most competitive value for American consumers, Marcelo Claure, Sprints newly appointed chief executive told Reuters in an interview. The company will release new plans for individuals later this week.The announcement marks the first move for the new CEO, who last week said cutting prices would be his top priority. The move comes after Verizon slashed prices for its unlimited talk and text plan and T-Mobile expanded its family plan to 6 lines and could signal more price cuts ahead for the industry as a whole.Sprint is going it alone after scuttling a months-long effort to pursue a merger with No. 4 U.S. cellular provider T-Mobile US Inc (TMUS.N).Last year, an aggressive campaign by T-Mobile to address subscriber frustrations and lower prices sparked a domino effect that caused the U.S. top four carriers to restructure pricing plans and cut rates to lure customers in a nearly saturated market.But analysts worry the industrys latest discount spree could increase pressure on already tight margins and rattle dividends.While top carriers AT&T (T.N) and Verizon (VZ.N) have largely been able to mitigate the impact of T-Mobiles discounts on their subscriber base, they would likely have to respond to price cuts a
ys latest discount spree could increase pressure on already tight margins and rattle dividends.While top carriers AT&T (T.N) and Verizon (VZ.N) have largely been able to mitigate the impact of T-Mobiles discounts on their subscriber base, they would likely have to respond to price cuts at Sprint with steep discounts of their own to keep subscribers from migrating, analysts said.We will see a trickle down in pricing concessions across the industry. This is the start of a price war many anticipated would be coming, said Angelo Zino, analyst at S&P Capital IQ.New pricing plans that charge customers separately for the cost of their devices have somewhat offset price cuts this year, Zino said, but if the discounts continue, they could pose a long-term threat to the dividends.Son, CEO of Sprints parent company, SoftBank Corp (9984.T), said earlier this year he wants to start a massive price war in the United States and warned that with Claure as CEO price competition will likely heat up. But many question whether Sprint, with $27 billion in net debt according to the companys latest filings is in a financial position to fuel a price war with its competitors.Do they have the balance sheet? Not really, but the good news is that they have a major investor in SoftBank, so they have the potential to get more aggressive said Zino.

St. Valentine’s Story
Let me introduce myself. My name is Valentine. I lived in Rome during the third century. That was long, long ago! At that time, Rome was ruled by an emperor named Claudius. I didn’t like Emperor Claudius, and I wasn’t the only one! A lot of people shared my feelings.
Claudius wanted to have a big army. He expected men to volunteer to join. Many men just did not want to fight in wars. They did not want to leave their wives and families. As you might have guessed, not many men signed up. This made Claudius furious. So what happened? He had a crazy idea. He thought that if men were not married, they would not mind joining the army. So Claudius decided not to allow any more marriages. Young people thought his new law was cruel. I thought it was preposterous! I certainly wasn’t going to support that law!
Did I mention that I was a priest? One of my favourite activities was to marry couples. Even after Emperor Claudius passed his law, I kept on performing marriage ceremonies — secretly, of course. It was really quite exciting. Imagine a small candlelit room with only the bride and groom and myself. We would whisper the words of the ceremony, listening all the while for the steps of soldiers.
One night, we did hear footsteps. It was scary! Thank goodness the couple I was marrying escaped in time. I was caught. (Not quite as light on my feet as I used to be, I guess.) I was thrown in jail and told that my punishment was death.
I tried to stay cheerful. And do you know what? Wonderful things happened. Many young people came to the jail to visit me. They threw flowers and notes up to my window. They wanted me to know that they, too, believed in love.
One of these young people was the daughter of the prison guard. Her father allowed her to visit me in the cell. Sometimes we would sit and talk for hours. She helped me to keep my spirits up. She agreed that I did the right thing by ignoring the Emperor and going ahead with the secret marriages. On the day I was to die, I left my friend a little note thanking her for her friendship and loyalty. I signed it, “Love from your Valentine.”
I believe that note started the custom of exchanging love messages on Valentine’s Day. It was written on the day I died, February 14, 269 A.D. Now, every year on this day, people remember. But most importantly, they think about love and friendship. And when they think of Emperor Claudius, they remember how he tried to stand in the way of love, and they laugh — because they know that love can’t be beaten!
