are sporophyte dominant, but that does not mean that they all reproduce in the same way.
Hank GreenHOST
2:43
No, sir! The simplest form of vascular plants are the ferns, which reproduce a lot like non-vascular plants in that they have spores that grow on the underside of the frond or fern leaf, which are released into the wild blue yonder to find a nice soggy patch of ground to germinate on.
Hank GreenHOST
2:58
The spore then makes a tiny gametophyte, which is only a few centimeters wide and has both male and female reproductive organs on the underside of its leaves.
Hank GreenHOST
3:05
If it's moist enough, the sperm on the boy's side of the gametophyte will find the egg on the girl's side, and it will create a sporophyte, which is what we recognize as a fern.
Hank GreenHOST
3:13
There's a lot of fossil evidence to suggest that at one point there probably were ferns that produced seeds and then all the fancy pants vascular plants that do have seeds and flowers evolved from them.
Hank GreenHOST
3:23
But those seed-bearing ferns are all extinct now so we can just gaze longingly at their fossils and wonder what their alternation of generations looked like.
Hank GreenHOST
3:31
But there are other groups of plants that are more complex than ferns, and what they all have in common is that they reproduce by creating pollen, which contains the male gametophyte and the female gametophytes, or ovules, which are fertilized by the pollen.
Hank GreenHOST
3:45
The complete fertilized cell grows into a seed, which ripens and can produce a complete adult plant.

The Enniskilleners had taken not less than three hundred carts, and had found among the booty ten thousand pounds in money, much plate, many valuable trinkets, and all the rich camp equipage of Turconel and Lauzun.

William fixed his headquarters at Ferns, about two miles from Dublin.
S.T. MacduffNARRATOR
54:44
Thence, on the morning of Sunday, the sixth of July, he rode in great state to the cathedral, and there, with the crown on his head, returned public thanks to God in the choir, which is now hung with the banners of the Knights of St. Patrick.
S.T. MacduffNARRATOR
54:58
The king preached, with all the fervor of a neophyte, on the great deliverance which God had wrought for the Church.

That's the way I'll always be, Alan.
Larry O'GormanGUEST

I was also, the race actually, Alan, was held off a slight bit last night because our under-14s were playing in the county final in Ferns last night and the game went to extra time.
Larry O'GormanGUEST
3:01
So we held back to the last race.
Larry O'GormanGUEST

so that they could come in and see the race so it was a great it was a great night exciting night we just finished up with Larry O barely getting over the line beating the greyhound and

Antarctica was covered in forest, not sparse, stunted, cold-tolerant scrub.
speaker_2NARRATOR
89:12
Forest, temperate to subtropical forest, dense and tall with a canopy that blocked the sky and a forest floor that was thick with Ferns and fallen leaves.
speaker_2NARRATOR
89:26
The fossil evidence comes from exposed rock formations on the Antarctic Peninsula and in the Transantarctic Mountains, the mountain range that divides East Antarctica from West Antarctica, some of whose peaks protrude above the ice sheet as nunataks, rocky islands in a sea of ice.
speaker_2NARRATOR
89:49
In these exposed rocks, paleontologists have found fossils of nothophagus, southern beech trees, a genus that still exists today in South America, New Zealand, Australia and New Guinea.

We made them out of our Ologies classics because we wanted everyone to be able to listen to them, even teachers in a classroom, so here we go.

Ferns.
Alie WardHOST
1:18
Ferns, you're asking? Ferns.
Alie WardHOST
1:20
I'm telling you.
Alie WardHOST
1:22
What is up with these plants and why are they special? You're about to find out, and you will never walk past a fern the same.
Alie WardHOST
1:53
Y- you're gonna find out everything about that later.
Alie WardHOST
1:55
And they said that ferns were fern-tastic.
Alie WardHOST
1:57
This is in the first five seconds of the video, and I was like, "They're on." And they wrote the 2025 book Ferns: Lessons in Survival from the Earth's Most Adaptable Plants, and they're an associate professor at Cornell's Boyce Thompson Institute, and we'll talk about their stories and their deep love of ferns in a moment, but first, let's jump into pteridology.
John McGinleyHOST
7:19
Again, that's been taken on a game-by-game basis.
John McGinleyHOST
7:21
I think Martin O'Neill is certainly hoping that they'll be available for this big week that we're talking about in terms of Rangers, Ferns, Farris, Rangers.
John McGinleyHOST
7:28
Whether they play all the minutes in all of those games, I think that would be doubtful at this point.
John McGinleyHOST
7:33
As I say, it seems like they're being managed as much as anything rather than being... fully, fully out and gubbed, so to speak.

And they also picked up a draw away to Dundee, a narrow defeat, against Hearts at Tyne Castle and a narrow defeat against St Mirren, who we know have been one of the better sides in the division this year so far.
John McGinleyHOST
21:54
So a pretty good run of form for St Johnston, Josh.
John McGinleyHOST
21:58
And as we said at the start of the show, I guess naturally your thoughts go towards the Rangers, Ferns, Farris, Rangers overall.
John McGinleyHOST
22:04
But this is not a gimme.

unfurling their fronds in the dark with the slow, careful grace of a dancer taking the stage.
HermioneHOST

Mosses, carpeting the stone floor in a thick, green blanket, so soft that you can feel each individual strand beneath your feet, a million tiny lives pressing up against the soles of your shoes.

It's a good company.

In rugby, the Black Ferns have lost star-loose forward Kaipo Olsen-Baker to a shoulder injury for Saturday's test against South Africa in Johannesburg.
speaker_3CORRESPONDENT
45:00
Olsen-Baker suffered the injury in last month's win over Australia and is expected to be sidelined for two to three weeks.
speaker_3CORRESPONDENT
45:07
She is also in doubt for New Zealand's upcoming European tests against France, Scotland and England.
speaker_3CORRESPONDENT
45:13
Big loss for the Ferns.
Tony JohnsonHOST
45:15
Such a phenomenal player.
Tony JohnsonHOST
45:17
They would really be hoping that she's available for those WXV matches because, or the tour matches, and of course they come back to New Zealand and play France as well.
Tony JohnsonHOST
45:26
So she's out.

but henry excommunicated and incorrigible had procured from the parliament of the pale three years before the act of election the formal recognition of his spiritual supremacy under which he proceeded as often as he had an opportunity to promote candidates for the episcopacy to vacant seats Between 1537 and 1547, thirteen or fourteen such vacancies having occurred, he nominated to the succession whenever the diocese was actually within his power.
Sabella DentonNARRATOR
57:25
In this way the sees of Dublin, Kildare, Ferns, Ardagh, Emly, Tuam, and Killaloe were filled up, while the vacancies which occurred about the same period in Armagh, Clogher, Clonmacnoise, Clonfert, Kilmore, and down and conor were supplied from rome many of the latter were allowed to take possession of their temporalities so far as they were within an english power by taking an oath of allegiance specially drawn for them others when prevented from doing so by the penalties of premonier delegated their authority to vicars-general who contrived to elude the provisions of the statute On the other hand, several of the king's bishops, excluded by popular hostility from the nominal sees, never resided upon them.
