The white ash is commonly a medium-sized tree 50 to 60 feet in height and 2 to 3 feet in diameter, but when growing in a close stand sometimes reaches a height of 100 feet. The trunk is tall and straight, and even when grown in the open rises to a good height before separating into branches. The crown of moderately stout spreading or ascending branches is broadly rounded to pyramidal in outline. 5, record 1, English, - American%20white%20ash

Good consideration is such as that of blood, or of natural love and affection, being founded on motives of generosity, prudence, and natural duty; hence "good" consideration is sometimes opposed to "valuable" consideration, i. e., one by which some benefit accrues to the promisor or some detriment to the promisee. The only purpose for which a good consideration in this sense was effectual was to support a covenant to stand seised to uses and rebut the presumption of a resulting trust on a voluntary conveyance.(Jowitt, p. 424-425) 2, record 2, English, - good%20consideration

After some hesitation it was settled in 1565 that if a tenant in fee simple covenanted to stand seized of his land in favour of some near relative, the "good consideration" of natural love and affection sufficed to raise a use in favour of the relative; the use was then executed and the legal estate vested in the relative. This type of conveyance was of limited application as it could not be employed to convey land to strangers, and, like the bargain and sale enrolled, it could not carry any further uses under the Statute.(Megarry and Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 165) 1, record 3, English, - covenant%20to%20stand%20seized%20of%20land

Waves are formed due to the friction of the wind over the water surface. The three main components for wave generation are the wind speed, it's duration and fetch.... How to recognise a swell/wave generating area. On a weather chart there are high and low pressure systems. They are separated by isobars(lines joining places of equal pressure). Buys Ballot's law states :"If you stand with your back to the wind in the northern hemisphere, the low pressure will be on your left. "From this you can deduce the wind flows anticlockwise around a low pressure system and almost parallel to the isobars. The wind near the surface actually flows at an angle of about 15 degrees to the isobars pointing in to the low. The reason for this is that friction with the surface slows the air down and it is this friction which causes waves to form. Assuming you have identified an area of closely packed isobars which are almost straight for 200 miles and the low system is not changing to quickly, you have found a good swell generating area. 3, record 6, English, - wave%20generation%20area
