Ranunculus arvensis, the corn buttercup[1] or field buttercup,[2] is a plant species in the family Ranunculaceae. Native to Europe, it can be found on other continents as an introduced species and sometimes a weed, including in North America and Australia. It was formerly a common annual arable weed in Britain, but is now rare there. It is most often found in moist places, such as spring puddles in meadows.
Many local common names refer to the spines on the seed heads or the achenes on the mature fruit:[3]

Kobold (German: [ˈkoːbɔlt]; kobolt, kobolde, cobold) is a generic name for a household spirit (hausgeist) in German folklore. Kobolds are associated with both mischief and the performance of helpful tasks – especially household chores, such as washing dishes. The latter are often performed in exchange for offerings. On the other hand, they may cause damage when mistreated. A hütchen (Low German: hodeken), meaning "little hat", is one subtype of kobold; this and other kobold sprites are known for their pointy red caps. Others, such as the niss (cognate of nisse of Norway) or puk (cognate of puck fairy) which are often said to be seen in Northern Germany, alongside drak, a dragon-type name, the sprite is sometimes said to appear as a shaft of fire with what looks like a head. There is also the combined form Nis Puk. Hinzelmann, a house sprite, is a shapeshifter assuming many forms, such as a feather or animal. The name supposedly refers to it appearing in cat-form, Hinz[e] being an archetypical cat name. The similarly named Heinzelmännchen of Cologne (recorded 1826) is distinguished from Hinzelmann. The Schrat is cross-categorized as a wood sprite and a house sprite, and some regional examples correspond to kobold, e.g., Upper Franconia in northern Bavaria. The kobold is sometimes conflated with the mine demon kobel or Bergmännlein/Bergmännchen, which Paracelsus equated with the earth elemental gnome. It is generally noted that there can be no clear demarcation made between a kobold and nature spirits. The Klabautermann aboard ships are sometimes classed as a kobold.
Horse management, also called horse husbandry, are the actions taken to care for horses, ponies, mules, donkeys and other domesticated equids, including housing, feeding, hygiene, health, and general welfare.
Horse grooming is hygienic care given to a horse, or a process by which the horse's physical appearance is enhanced for horse shows or other types of competition.

Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
