A heath or heathland is a shrubland habitat found mainly on low quality acidic soils, and is characterised by open, low growing woody vegetation. There are some clear differences between heath and moorland. For example moorland has a very peaty topsoil, and it is also free-draining, whereas a heath is not[citation needed]. Moorland is generally related to high-ground heaths with — especially in Great Britain — a cooler and damper climate.
Heaths are widespread worldwide. They form extensive and highly diverse communities across Australia in humid and sub-humid areas. Fire regimes with recurring burning are required for the maintenance of the heathlands. Even more diverse though less widespread heath communities occur in Southern Africa. Extensive heath communities can also be found in California-chaparral, New Caledonia, central Chile and along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. In addition to these extensive heath areas, the vegetation type is also found in scattered locations across all continents, except Antarctica.

Ledger received numerous accolades for his critically acclaimed portrayal of the Joker in The Dark Knight, including the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, a Best Actor International Award at the 2008 Australian Film Institute Awards, for which he became the first actor to win an award posthumously, the 2008 Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award for Best Supporting Actor, the 2009 Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor and the 2009 BAFTA Award for Best Supporting Actor.

it's the money not the principle it's the taste of wine
from a plastic fishbowl it's so funny versus what you
know it's the scent of them that always brings you home
dead of winter sets inside your soul silent slumbering
but since when was peace our goal and you know you could
be anything here but so scared afraid of how it might go
second guess this looking glass show i'm feeling low sink
your teeth in the snow break these heels and let it go
loosen your grip and let the blood flow burning time on
the anthills with your jackets on fire nevermind this
small razor slip up cut a grin and carve out a smile at
the center of downtown i'm screaming my fair lungs out
can i get an amen my friends i'm slipping now sink your
teeth in the snow break these heels and let it go loosen
