Wood Badge beads on top of the 1st Gilwell Scout Group neckerchief

Wood Badge is a Scouting leadership program and the related award for adult leaders in the programs of Scout associations around the world. Wood Badge courses aim to make Scouters better leaders by teaching advanced leadership skills, and by creating a bond and commitment to the Scout movement. Courses generally have a combined classroom and practical outdoors-based phase followed by a Wood Badge ticket, also known as the project phase. By "working the ticket", participants put their newly gained experience into practice to attain ticket goals aiding the Scouting movement. The first Wood Badge training was organized by Francis "Skipper" Gidney and lectured at by Robert Baden-Powell and others at Gilwell Park (United Kingdom) in September 1919. Wood Badge training has since spread across the world with international variations. On completion of the course, participants are awarded the Wood Badge beads to recognize significant achievement in leadership and direct service to young people. The pair of small wooden beads, one on each end of a leather thong (string), is worn around the neck as part of the Scout uniform. The beads are presented together with a taupe neckerchief bearing a tartan patch of the Maclaren clan, honoring William De Bois Maclaren, who donated the funding to purchase Gilwell Park in 1919.

Varroa destructor

Varroa destructor, a type of mite, is seen parasitizing a honeybee host in this digitally colorized low-temperature scanning electron microscope image. Varroa mites threaten agricultural pollination directly by weakening and destroying bee colonies. They also mandate more regular management of hives that is both labor-intensive and expensive.

Featured list: List of Lost episodes

The following is a complete episode list for the serial drama series Lost, which began airing on September 22, 2004. In addition to the twenty-four episodes in season one, a special clip show, Lost: The Journey, aired on April 27, 2005 to put the mysteries of the island and the characters in perspective in the lead-up to the season finale. The second and third seasons included six more clip shows to recap the series. The series ended its third season on May 23, 2007. ABC has announced that Lost would end after its sixth season, with seasons four through six each containing 16 hours of episodes, ending with a total of 117 episodes produced.[1] Because of the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, only 14 hours of Lost will be produced for season four. On February 28, 2008, it was revealed in the official Lost audio podcast that the time cut from this season would be added to the next two seasons.[2]

As of May 29, 2008, the fourth season finale, 83 episodes of Lost have aired. The first three seasons are available on DVD in Regions 1, 2, 3 and 4.
