Owls have large forward-facing eyes and ear-holes, a hawk-like beak, a flat face, and usually a conspicuous circle of feathers around each eye called a facial disc. Although owls have binocular vision, their large eyes are fixed in their sockets, as with other birds, and they must turn their entire head to change views.

The smallest owl is the Elf Owl (Micrathene whitneyi), at as little as 31 g (1.1 oz) and 13.5 cm (5.3 inches). Some of the pygmy owls are scarcely larger. The largest owls are two of the eagle owls, the Eurasian Eagle Owl (Bubo bubo) and Blakiston's Fish Owl (Bubo blakistoni), which may reach a size of 60-71 cm (28.4 in) long, have a wingspan of almost 2 m (6.6 ft), and weight of nearly 4.5 kg (10 lb).

Owls are far-sighted, and are unable to see anything clearly within a few inches of their eyes. Caught prey can be felt by owls with the use of filoplumes, which are small hair-like feathers on the beak and feet that act as “feelers”. Their far vision, particularly in low light, is exceptionally good. They can turn their head 135 degrees in either direction; they can thus look behind their own shoulders.

Different species of owls make different sounds; the wide range of calls aids owls in finding mates or announcing their presence to potential competitors, and also aids ornithologists and birders in locating these birds and recognizing species. The facial disc helps to funnel the sound of prey to their ears. In many species, these are placed asymmetrically, for better directional location (Cotty, 2008).

Owl eggs are usually white and almost spherical, and range in number from a few to a dozen, depending on species. The eggs are laid in intervals of 1–3 days and do not hatch at the same time. This accounts for the wide variation in the size of sibling nestlings. Owls do not construct nests but rather look for a sheltered nesting site or an abandoned nest, in trees, underground burrows, or in buildings, barns and caves.

The 40th President of the United States, Ronald Wilson Reagan, died on June 5, 2004, after suffering from Alzheimer's disease for nearly a decade. A seven-day state funeral followed, spanning June 5 to 11th.

After Reagan's death his casket was taken from his Bel-Air, Los Angeles, California home to the Gates, Kingsley and Gates Funeral Home in Santa Monica, California. On June 7, it was transported by hearse and displayed at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, then flown to Washington, D.C. on June 9 for a service, public viewing and tributes at the U.S. Capitol Building. After lying in state for thirty-four hours in the Capitol Rotunda, a state funeral service was conducted at the Washington National Cathedral on June 11, the day that President George W. Bush declared a national day of mourning. Later that day, after the service, Reagan's casket was transported back to California for interment at the Reagan Presidential Library.

The state funeral was executed by the Military District of Washington (MDW) and was the first since that of Lyndon B. Johnson in 1973. Richard Nixon, who presided over Johnson's funeral, did not have a state funeral.

The Missouri State Arboretum is on the campus of Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, Missouri and contains more than 111 species of trees.

Northwest has long billed itself as the “most beautiful state university campus” in the state of Missouri thanks to its landscaped tree-lined campus. The campus design was inspired by the Forest Park design for the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair which evolved into the campus for Washington University.

In 1993, the state legislature designated Northwest the official Missouri State Arboretum.

Thomas Gaunt first starting planting trees on the campus when he moved to Maryville in 1857. Gaunt's house has served as the home of all presidents of the university and is on the National Register of Historic Places. It is in a direct line with the university's landmark Administration Building. The route (called the “Long Walk”) was lined with hundreds of trees – most famously birches (prompting a phrase that the campus was “behind the birches”).

Many of the trees date to grounds keeper J. R. Brink, who was known to have planted 300 trees a year starting in 1915. During this period Brink planted a dense forest on practically all land that did not have buildings. The Brink forest has been whittled away with new buildings and memorials.

In the 1960s most of the campus elms were felled by Dutch elm disease. In the 1970s the Bronze birch borer began killing the birches with the last of the original birches dying in 1997. Johanne Wynne Fairchild in 1979 began a process of cataloging the trees and setting up the trails.

Northwest has enhanced the tree experience by designating three trails through the campus trees:

* The Gaunt Trail - It begins at Hudson Hall and passes more than 39 species
* The Tower Trail - It starts at Roberta Hall and passes more than 32 species
* The Chatauqua Trail - The area by the Mary Linn Performing Arts Center just west of Bearcat Stadium. It contains 31 species. It derives its name for the original Maryville Park on the location.

The Lowey of Tonbridge[1] is the name given to the large tract of land given to Richard Fitz Gilbert (1024-1090) in West Kent, England by William the Conqueror after the Battle of Hastings as a reward for his assistance in winning the battle. Richard was a cousin of William's with both being descended from Richard “The Fearless” the first Duke of Normandy. The Lowey (also known as Lowry) which simply means “Freedom” or “Liberty” gave Richard huge powers over the region and he used this power to extract taxes from the local population to finance the building of Tonbridge Castle which became the main de Clare family residence for the next 250 years.

Richard used his influence and power to expand the Lowey so by the time of the Doomsday Book it included much of Surrey as well as Kent. This contious expansion of the estate put the de Clare family into dispute with the Archbishops of Canterbury and the King was asked to intervene twice to decide how large it should actually be.

When the de Clare family got on the wrong side of the crown the castle and its Lowey was the first thing the King seized back from them often by force and this happened in William II, John I and Henry III reign. The castle and Lowey always being returned to the family once the dispute had been resolved.

After the death of Gilbert de Clare the 4th Earl of Gloucester at Bannockburn in 1314 aged only 23 with out an heir Hugh the younger de Spencer who had married the earls oldest sister could not wait for King Edward II to decide on how his estate should be divided seized the Lowey and Castle with out permission. His tenure was quite short lived as he was executed by Queen Isobella Edward II wife.

The Lowey had two large deer hunting parks known as the South Frith and North Frith whose names still survive today.

The Lowey survived well into the 19th century in the fact Tonbridge was one of Englands largest parishes.
