Beech (''Fagus'') is a genus of ten species of deciduous trees in the family Fagaceae, native to temperate Europe, Asia and North America.

Habit

The leaves of beech trees are entire or sparsely toothed, from 5–15 cm long and 4–10 cm broad. The flowers are small single-sex (monoecious), the female flowers borne in pairs, the male flowers wind-pollinating catkins, produced in spring shortly after the new leaves appear. The bark is smooth and light gray. The fruit is a small, sharply three–angled nut 10–15 mm long, borne singly or in pairs in soft-spined husks 1.5–2.5 cm long, known as cupules. The nuts are edible, though bitter (though not nearly as bitter as acorns) with a high tannin content, and are called beechmast.

Beech grows on a wide range of soil types, acid or basic, provided they are not waterlogged. The tree canopy casts dense shade, and carpets the ground with dense leaf litter, and the ground flora beneath may be sparse.

In North America, they often form Beech-Maple climax forests by partnering with the Sugar Maple.

The southern beeches ''Nothofagus'' previously thought closely related to beeches, are now treated as members of a separate family, Nothofagaceae. They are found in Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, New Caledonia, Argentina and Chile (principally Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego).

The beech blight aphid (''Grylloprociphilus imbricator'') is a common pest of beech trees. Beeches are also used as food plants by some species of Lepidoptera (see list of Lepidoptera that feed on beeches).

Uses

Beech wood is an excellent firewood, easily split and burning for many hours with bright but calm flames. Chips of beech wood are used in the brewing of Budweiser beer as a fining agent. Beech logs are burned to dry the malts used in some German smoked beers, giving the beers their typical flavor. Beech is also used to smoke some cheeses.

Some drums are made from beech, which has a tone generally considered to be between maple and birch, the two most popular drum woods.

Also, beech pulp is used as the basis for manufacturing a textile fibre known as Modal. The wood is also used to make the pigment known as bistre.

The fruit of the beech, also called "Beechnuts" and "mast", are found in the small burrs that drop from tree in autumn. They are small, triangular, and edible, with a bitter, astringent taste.

Beech was a common writing material in Germanic societies before the development of paper. The Old English ''bōc'' and Old Norse ''bók'' have the primary sense of ''beech'', but a secondary sense of ''book'', and it is from ''bōc'' that the modern word derives. In modern day German and Swedish, this connection is even more apparent, with the word for 'book' being 'das Buch' and 'Buche' for beech tree in German, and in Swedish, the words are the same - 'bok' is both beech tree and book.

As an ornamental

The beech most commonly grown as an ornamental tree is the European Beech (''Fagus sylvatica''), widely cultivated in North America as well as its native Europe. Many varieties are in cultivation, notably the weeping beech ''F. sylvatica'' 'Pendula', several varieties of Copper or purple beech, the fern-leaved beech ''F. sylvatica'' 'Asplenifolia', and the tricolour beech ''F. sylvatica'' 'roseomarginata'. The strikingly columnar Dawyck beech (''F. sylvatica'' 'Dawyck') occurs in green, gold and purple forms, named after Dawyck Garden in the Scottish Borders, one of the four garden sites of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.

The European species, ''Fagus sylvatica'', yields a utility timber that is tough but dimensionally unstable. It weighs around 720 kg per cubic metre and is widely used for furniture framing and carcass construction, flooring and engineering purposes, in plywood and in household items like plates, but rarely as a decorative timber. Timber can be used to construct chalets, houses and log cabins.

In Britain and Ireland

Beech was a late entrant to Great Britain after the last glaciation, and may have been restricted to basic soils in the south of England. The beech is classified as a native in the south of England and as a non-native in the north where it is often removed from 'native' woods. Large areas of the Chilterns are covered with beech woods, which are habitat to the Common Bluebell and other flora. The Cwm Clydach National Nature Reserve in southeast Wales was designated for its beech woodlands which are believed to be on the western edge of their natural range in this steep limestone gorge.

Beech is not native to Ireland; however, it was widely planted from the 18th Century, and can become a problem shading out the native woodland understory. The Friends of the Irish Environment say that the best policy is to remove young, naturally regenerating beech while retaining veteran specimens with biodiversity value.

There is a campaign by Friends of the Rusland Beeches and South Lakeland Friends of the Earth launched in 2007 to reclassify the beech as native in Cumbria. The campaign is backed by Tim Farron MP who tabled a motion on 3 December 2007 regarding the status of beech in Cumbria.

Today, beech is widely planted for hedging and in deciduous woodlands, and mature, regenerating stands occur throughout mainland Britain below about 650 m. The tallest and longest hedge in the world (according to the Guinness World Records) is the Meikleour Beech Hedge in Meikleour, Perth and Kinross, Scotland.

Scandinavia and northern border

The common European beech (''Fagus sylvatica'') grows naturally in Denmark and southern Sweden up to about the 57:th - 59:th northern latitude. The most northern known naturally growing (not planted) beech trees are found in a few very small forests around the city of Bergen on the southern west coast of Norway with the North Sea nearby. Near the city of Larvik is the largest naturally occurring beech forest in Norway. Planted beeches are grown much further north along the Norwegian coast.

As a naturally growing forest tree, it marks the important border between the European deciduous forest zone and the northern pine forest zone. This border is important for both wildlife and fauna and is a sharp line along the Swedish western coast, which gets broader toward the south. In Denmark and the most southern Swedish county, Skåne, it is the most populous of all forest trees.

Rajendra Kumar (20 July 1929 – 12 July 1999) was one of the most successful Indian Bollywood actors in the 1960s and 1970s. He also produced several films in the 1980s starring his son Kumar Gaurav.

was born in a Punjabi Hindu family in Sialkot, in the West Punjab province of British India, currently in Pakistan.

Career

Rajendra Kumar made his debut in the 1950 film ''Jogan'' in which he starred opposite Dilip Kumar and Nargis. He then shot to fame in the blockbuster hit ''Mother India'' in 1957 in which he played Nargis's son. His first major success as a romantic leading man was in Amit Saxenas's musical superhit ''Goonj Uthi Shehnai'' (1959), co-starring Ameeta.

The 1960s saw Rajendra Kumar rise like no other star had risen. The songs of his film in Mohammed Rafi's voice became mega hits. There were times when he had six or seven films running in their silver jubilee weeks at the same time. Rajendra Kumar was soon known as "Jubilee Kumar".

He had many successful box office hits including ''Dhool Ka Phool'' (1959), ''Mere Mehboob'' (1963), ''Sangam'' (1964), ''Arzoo'' (1965), ''Suraj'' (1966) and ''Ganwaar'' (1970).. He received the Filmfare Nomination for Best Actor for ''Dil Ek Mandir'' (1963), ''Ayee Milan Ki Bela'' (1964), ''Arzoo'' (1965), and as Best Supporting Actor for ''Sangam'' (1964). He was considered a golden boy for the movie producers as he could recover the producers' money in a matter of weeks.

However, from 1972 onwards, he faced stiff competition in the form of the phenomenal Rajesh Khanna. Several of his films bombed at the box office. However, the dry spell ended when he was offered an interesting role in the film ''Saajan Bina Suhaagan'' opposite Nutan. The film was a huge blockbuster of 1978. Rajendra Kumar had regained his 'Midas Touch'. He then switched to character roles in the late 1970s and 1980s.

He also starred in a number of Punjabi films like ''Teri meri ek jindari''.

In 1981 Rajendra introduced his son Kumar Gaurav in the film ''Love Story'' which he produced, directed and also starred in. The film was declared the blockbuster. But the success was short-lived as Kumar Gaurav's later films were huge disappointments at the box office and his son's career declined as soon as it began. Rajendra produced several other films starring his son which did not do well. In 1986 he produced ''Naam'' with his son and his son's brother-in-law Sanjay Dutt in leading roles which was a box office success but the success was short-lived. His last attempt to revive his son's career was with the 1993 film ''Phool'' where he once again acted alongside his son but this film was also a box office failure.

Rajendra appeared in only a few films after this and his last film appearance was a minor role in Deepa Mehta's critically acclaimed film ''Earth'' in 1998.

He died on 12 July 1999 of cancer, 8 days before his 70th birthday. He was known to never have taken medicines in his entire life.

Personal life

He married Shukla and had a son and two daughters. His son Kumar Gaurav married Namrata Dutt, the daughter of actors Sunil Dutt and Nargis and sister of actor Sanjay Dutt.

Rajendra had acted with Sanjay's parents Sunil Dutt and Nargis in the blockbuster film ''Mother India'' (1957) where both Sunil Dutt and Rajendra Kumar played natural sons of Nargis. He had a special relationship with Sunil Dutt, who is quoted as having said that "Even though Rajendra Kumar did not win any award through out his career, he was one of the most genuine human beings I have ever encountered. When I was struggling with the troubles related to the arrest of my son Sanjay Dutt and my house was repeatedly being searched by means of numerous police raids, Rajendra Kumar was the one who came to my rescue by staying at my house and ensuring that raids were conducted using due procedures, false evidences were not planted in the house and valuables were not stolen".

He was a gentleman to the true sense of the word - very disciplined on the film sets and polite with his co-stars. Meena Kumari, the legendary actress paired with him in a number of films. Although, being a major star at the time, he would modestly address Meena Kumari as 'Mem Sahab'. Rajendra Kumar lived his life astutely and conserved his resources very well.

Honours and recognitions

Rajendra Kumar was honoured with the Padma Shri Award in 1969.

He was also conferred with Justice of Peace honour and served as Honorary Magistrate.

He was awarded the National Honour by late Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru simultaneously for “Kanoon” (Hindi) and “Mehandi Rang Lagyo” (Gujarati film).

He received a special Shastri National Award and was associated with several charity schemes.

Awards and nominations

Rajendra Kumar was nominated for Best Actor category three times.

Trivia

Father of Kumar Gaurav.

Films started coming his way when he played the role of a son of Nargis in Mother India.

His daughter-in-law (Namrata) is Sunil Dutt's and Nargis Dutt's daughter.

Started as an assistant director before getting a role in Vachan.

Was nicknamed as "Jubilee Kumar" by the trade people because majority of his movies used to do either Silver or Golden Jubilee.

He used to actively participate in campaigning for friend, Sunil Dutt, whenever the latter used to contest for elections.

For the premier of his first movie, Vachan, he was asked if he wanted any seats for his relatives or friends, and thinking that it would be complimentary, he answered ten. After some days when he went to get his fees from the producer's accountant, he was given a lesser amount and when he asked why he was told that the money was deducted for the seats he took for his relatives and friends. He took this lesson as a principle of production and when he produced Naam, he deducted some amount from Amrita Singh's fees for the long calls she had made from Hong Kong to India.

Was best friends with Raj Kapoor, so much so that his son Kumar Gaurav was engaged to the latter's daughter, Reema Kapoor. However, this friendship could not last long after their children broke the engagement.

Kristopher Beech (born February 5, 1981) is a Canadian professional ice hockey centre, currently playing for Rauman Lukko in the Finnish elite league SM-Liiga.

Playing career

Beech was drafted 7th overall in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft by the Washington Capitals. At the time he was playing for the Calgary Hitmen of the WHL. Beech was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins in July 2001 with Michal Sivek, Ross Lupaschuk and future considerations for Jaromir Jagr and Frantisek Kucera.

Beech appeared in 79 games for the Penguins recording 10 goals and 15 assists for 25 points. Disappointed with his development, the Penguins traded Beech on September 9, 2005 to the Nashville Predators for a conditional draft pick. Beech returned to the Capitals organization on March 9, 2006, having been traded, along with a first-round pick, for defenseman Brendan Witt. He was sent down to the Hershey Bears to join their AHL playoff campaign and helped them to Calder Cup victory against the Milwaukee Admirals.

On January 10, 2008, Beech was claimed off waivers from Columbus by the Vancouver Canucks. However, on January 23, 2008, after just four games with the Canucks in which he recorded one goal and one assist, Beech was subsequently placed on waivers and claimed by the Washington Capitals. Before playing a single game with Washington, Beech was once again placed on waivers, which led to him being re-acquired by the Pittsburgh Penguins, Beech's fourth team in the month of January.

October 10, 2008, Beech signed one-year contract with the Swedish Elitserien team HV71. He joined his new team three days later.

On April 28, 2009, Beech re-signed to a two-year contract extension with HV71. Prior to the 2009–10 season on September 4, 2009, Beech signed a six week loan contract with HC Genève-Servette. In his eight games with Genève-Servette, he scored two goals. On October 14, 2009, Beech was returned to HV71.

On May 25, 2011, Rauman Lukko announced that Beech has signed a one-year contract with the team.

Personal

During the offseason, Beech is a guest instructor at the Sicamous Hockey School, located in Sicamous, British Columbia.
