Berry-picking Rake
A berry-picking rake or berry picker is a tool for collecting berries. Berry-picking rakes can be used to collect lingonberries, bilberries Bilberries () are Eurasian low-growing shrubs in the genus ''Vaccinium'' in the flowering plant family Ericaceae that bear edible, dark blue berries. They resemble but are distinct from North American blueberries. The species most often referre ..., currants, and other berries. The rake may damage softer berries, and introduces some detritus, requiring cleaning of the berries afterwards. If misused, it may also damage or uproot the plants, reducing next year's yields. Despite these drawbacks, a rake has much greater efficiency than picking by hand and is thus used in all commercial berry picking - though modern large-scale farms use mechanical harvesters. One model of a berry picking rake was patented by J.O. Wennborg of Habo, Sweden. References {{Garden tools Gardening tools ...

The story and emotional content of a musical – humor, pathos, love, anger – are communicated through words, music, movement and technical aspects of the entertainment as an integrated whole. Although musical theatre overlaps with other theatrical forms like opera and dance, it may be distinguished by the equal importance given to the music as compared with the dialogue, movement and other elements. Since the early 20th century, musical theatre stage works have generally been called, simply, musicals. Although music has been a part of dramatic presentations since ancient times, modern Western musical theatre emerged during the 19th century, with many structural elements established by the light opera works of Jacques Offenbach in France, Gilbert and Sullivan in Britain and the works of Harrigan and Hart in America.
