Last night, during the football game, the beloved mascot of our school was decked by an opposing team member. It was a shocking and unexpected moment that left the entire crowd gasping. The mascot, who is always full of energy and excitement, was taken down with such force that it took a few minutes for him to recover and get back on his feet. The incident occurred during a particularly intense play. Our team was on offense and the mascot, dressed in his vibrant and captivating costume, was cheering them on from the sidelines. Suddenly, an opposing player charged towards him and delivered a powerful blow that knocked him down.

In Roman times it was used as an anesthesia, it is a traditional ingredient in witches flying ointment, and some believe that the Oracle at Delphi used this herb among others to induce her trance. Datura, Belladonna, Henbane and mandrake contain Atropine, Scopolamine, and Hyoscyamine which has been used in modern medicine for several different reasons.
Suddenly, an opposing player charged towards him and delivered a powerful blow that knocked him down. The impact was so forceful that the mascot was momentarily disoriented and unable to get up. The crowd erupted in a mixture of anger, shock, and concern.

Hundreds of years before the Europeans developed rubber, the Aztecs mixed the juice of moonflower with tree latex to produce an elastic they made into rubber bands, hammers, and balls for a ritual game. A relative of the morning glory, moonflowert has its cousin's heart-shaped leaves and vining habit, but instead of greeting the Sun, like the morning glory does, the flowers of this Moon plant open in late afternoon and stay open for one night, which makes them wonderful in Moon gardens. They are pollinated by moths drawn to their scent, which humans can smell too, if they have the genes for it (not everyone can perceive the scent of some white flowers). The presence of moths in turn can attract bats, Hekate's friends. Try inhaling the scent of moonflowers before doing divination or before going to bed in order to produce prophetic dreams.
A climbing annual or tender perennial and a vigorous grower in hot weather, moonflower vines can get about 10 feet long up north but will get 30 feet long in hot areas. Flowers are about 5 inches across and are fun to watch open--they take about two minutes. After one day, they shrivel and begin to turn into seed pods. Harvest the seeds when the husk turns dry and black. This plant can be grown indoors in a very sunny window. Top
How to grow Moonflower: Seeds germinate better if they are nicked. File off a small circle of the seedcoat on the end that is smooth. You can use a nail file. Then soak them in warm water overnight. You can also try germinating them by putting them in a paper towel towel that has been wet and then wrung out. Spread the seeds out, carefully fold over the paper towel, and put in a plastic bag. Put in a relatively warm place, and the seeds will germinate. You will also see which ones are live this way and not plant ones that are duds. Grow seedlings in warm soil (this is a tropical plant). It needs a trellis or fence to cling to, or you can grow it in a hanging container. Down south, this plant can really spread. We've seen it almost completely covering mangroves, so plant with care and caution. It likes full sun, especially up north, and good soil mixed with sand. Soil that is too rich means lots of leaves and few flowers. It blooms in 12 weeks. General growing info. Top

Black nightshade often is confused with both Henbane and Belladonna. However it is entirely its own plant. It grows well in conditions that are similar to what Henbane and Belladonna like. It has smaller oval shaped leaves and tiny star shaped white flowers that produce black juicy berries. They look much like a very dark blueberry but should never ever be confused as such. For eating these will leave you very sorry. Though folklore and some modern testing is reputing the evidence that this plant is entirely toxic, it should be avoided, especially in its green state as this is when it is most toxic. It contains the Tropine alkaloids just like Datura and the other nightshades do, so use caution!

Reviews for "The Business of Decked Mascots: Job Opportunities and Impact on the Entertainment Industry"
- John Smith - 1 star
I really did not enjoy "Mascot is decked". I found the plot to be predictable and the characters to be one-dimensional. The humor attempted in the story fell flat for me and I didn't find myself laughing at all. Overall, I was quite disappointed with this book and would not recommend it to others.
- Emily Johnson - 2 stars
"Mascot is decked" was just okay for me. While the concept was intriguing, I felt that the execution was lacking. The pacing of the story was off, and I found myself losing interest at times. Additionally, some of the dialogue felt forced and unrealistic. It had the potential to be a great book, but unfortunately, it fell short for me.
- Sarah Davis - 2 stars
I had high hopes for "Mascot is decked", but it didn't live up to my expectations. The characters felt shallow and I had a hard time connecting with any of them. The plot twists were predictable and didn't add any excitement to the story. Overall, I found it to be a forgettable read and not worth investing my time in.
