The breeding season may last from May to August. The nest is a frail platform made of twigs set at a reasonable height in a tree or bush, and the female typically lays two white eggs. The Oriental Turtle-Dove's call is a melodic "goo, goo-goo, goo, goo".

The Taiwan subspecies orii is duller and smaller than the continental subspecies, however these variations are unlikely to be discernible in the wild. In Taiwan, the Oriental Turtle-Dove is a year-round resident and a frequent bird of field edges, sparsely forested areas, marshes, mangroves, and farms, from low to medium elevations.

It has a black and white striped patch on the side of its neck made of silver-tipped feathers, but the breast is less pink, and the turtle dove's orange-brown wing feathers are replaced with a browner hue and darker centers, giving it a scaly look.

Corchorus olitorius is commonly used in southern Asian, Middle Eastern, North African, and West African cuisines, while Corchorus capsularis is utilized in Japan and China.

When cooked, it takes on a mucilaginous texture akin to okra. The dried leaves are used to make a herbal tea, and the seeds are utilized to flavor it. Corchorus leaves contain high levels of betacarotene, iron, calcium, and vitamin C.

The plant contains substantial amounts of α-tocopherol equivalent vitamin E, making it an effective antioxidant.

Although the phrase is sometimes used to refer to a specific structure built by the bird itself—such as the grassy cup nest of the American robin or Eurasian blackbird, or the beautifully woven hanging nest of the Montezuma oropendola or village weaver—this is an overly narrow meaning.

For some species, a nest is simply a shallow depression dug in the sand; for others, it is the knot-hole left by a broken branch, a burrow dug into the ground, a chamber drilled into a tree, an enormous rotting pile of vegetation and earth, a shelf made of dried saliva, or a mud dome with an entrance tunnel.]]> https://cleartalking.com/main/cypress-vine-morning-glory-plant-4/ <![CDATA[Cypress vine morning glory plant]]> https://cleartalking.com/main/cypress-vine-morning-glory-plant-4/

In 1077, Archbishop Gebhard I of Salzburg built a Romanesque castle, of which only the foundations remain today. After that, the castle was rebuilt and reinforced many times, gradually turning into a powerful fortress. Around 1500, the world's first funicular, the Reiszug, was built at the castle, for the purpose of transporting goods. Hohensalzburg acquired its current appearance in general at the beginning of the 16th century thanks to the efforts of Prince-Archbishop Leonhard von Keutschach. One of the castle's attractions is the Salzburg Bull, an organ installed in 1502 and which still retains its sound today. Hohensalzburg was besieged only once, when a group of miners, farmers and townspeople tried to overthrow Prince Matthaus Lang in 1525, but were unable to penetrate the castle; those hiding behind the wall held out after a 61-day siege. During the Thirty Years' War, Archbishop Paris Lodron (1619–1654) strengthened the city's defenses, including the Hohensalzburg fortress. He added several parts to the fortress, such as the Powder Tower and the guard house. During the Napoleonic Wars, the fortress surrendered without a fight. The castle was used as a barracks, warehouse and prison in the 19th century before becoming a military outpost in 1861. Hohensalzburg Fortress has been renovated since the late 19th century and has become a tourist attraction big calendar with the opening of the Festungsbahn cable car in 1892.]]> https://cleartalking.com/main/belvedere-palace/ <![CDATA[Belvedere Palace]]> https://cleartalking.com/main/belvedere-palace/

Ipomoea purpurea, or morning glory flower, blooms fully in the early morning. Usually, the flowers begin to fade a few hours before the corolla shows any signs of curling.

They favor mesic soils and full sun exposure all day long. Ipomoea muricata, Ipomoea alba, and Ipomoea macrorhiza are a few examples of morning glory plants that bloom at night.

Mature leaves are dark green with light gray-green cross-banding and typically vary from 70-90 cm long and 5-6 centimetres wide, though they can reach heights of over 2m in ideal conditions.

The specific epithet trifasciata means "three bundles". The plant's crassulacean acid metabolic pathway exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide, allowing it to endure drought. The minute pores on the plant's leaves, known as stomata, which are used to exchange gasses, are only opened at night to prevent water from evaporating in the scorching day.]]> https://cleartalking.com/main/blue-banded-bee-native-to-australia/ <![CDATA[Blue-banded bee native to Australia]]> https://cleartalking.com/main/blue-banded-bee-native-to-australia/

This square is called Joseph Square. To the right of Joseph Square is the semicircular Neue Burj. In 1866, a semi-circular Imperial Forum named Neue Burj was built in two huge wings.

It became a museum in 1923 and is one of the 11 museums run by the Fondazione Musei Civici di Venezia.
The originals, some of which were masterpieces of Venetian sculpture of the 14th and 15th centuries, were placed, together with other sculptures from the facades, in an area specifically set aside for this purpose: the Museo dell’ Opera.

It stands on the narrow finger of Punta della Dogana, between the Grand Canal and the Giudecca Canal, at the Bacino di San Marco, making the church visible when entering the Piazza San Marco from the water. The Salute is part of the parish of the Gesuati and is the most recent of the so-called plague churches.

In 1630, Venice experienced an unusually devastating outbreak of the plague. As a votive offering for the city's deliverance from the pestilence, the Republic of Venice vowed to build and dedicate a church to Our Lady of Health. The church was designed in the then fashionable Baroque style by Baldassare Longhena, who studied under the architect Vincenzo Scamozzi. Construction began in 1631. Most of the objects of art housed in the church bear references to the Black Death.

The dome of the Salute was an important addition to the Venice skyline and soon became emblematic of the city, appearing in artworks both by locals, such as Canaletto and Francesco Guardi, and visitors, such as J. M. W. Turner and John Singer Sargent. (W)]]> https://cleartalking.com/main/church-of-girgio-maggiore/ <![CDATA[Church of Girgio Maggiore]]> https://cleartalking.com/main/church-of-girgio-maggiore/

Gum is produced by several acacia species. Acacia senegal, which grows abundantly in arid tropical West Africa from Senegal to northern Nigeria, is the source of true gum arabic.

The gum arabic tree of India, Acacia nilotica (syn. Acacia arabica), produces gum that is not as good as the real gum arabic. Many food products, such as various soft drinks and confections, include gum arabic.

Acacia gum was employed in paints by the ancient Egyptians.
