12-4-12 Thursday is Yuri’s Night, an international celebration of human achievement and ingenuity, in recognition of mankind’s achievements in space exploration—with hopes of inspiring a new generation to continue looking upward and reaching outward. Fifty-one years ago, Yuri Gagarin was the first human to launch into space: “Circling the Earth in my orbital spaceship I marveled at the beauty of our planet. People of the world, let us safeguard and enhance this beauty – not destroy it!” Do something on Yuri's night. Look up some local or online event. Or just step outside with someone impressionable, and infect them with a sense of wonder. And How do we recapture our enthusiasm for space? Neil deGrasse Tyson examines America’s ailing aerospace industry and NASA’s shrinking vision -- and asks what it would take for America to remain the leading power in space: “In fact we may be entering a new age of geopolitics, in which economic strength wields greater power than military strength. If that’s the case, we shouldn’t need reminders that innovations in science and technology drive tomorrow’s economies. That’s been true since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. And so healthy investment in space exploration—something we saw 50 years ago, and something many other countries have just figured out—is like a new force of nature operating on a nation’s economic prosperity. As nothing else does, the frontier of space exploration, which draws upon a dozen fields of science and engineering, attracts the ambitions of those who are still in the educational pipeline. It is they who become the scientists and technologists. It is they who invent tomorrow.” Hear hear. Every decade since the forties, some scientific breakthrough (or several) enabled the U.S. to stay rich and vibrant enough to then spend it all in the Great Buying Spree that propelled world prosperity and created a world-majority Middle Class. That is, every decade except the first decade of the 21st Century, amid the calamitous War on Science. possibilities are there! See my video: Grand Scale Reasons to Explore Space. I am on the board of advisers for the NASA Innovative and Advanced Concepts program. Last week in Pasadena we saw some outtasight and amazing proposals, some of them both groundbreaking and apparently eminently practical. All we have to do is rediscover within ourselves the kind of people who step outside and look up, now and then. == Great Sci-Television == Is There an Edge to the Universe? This episode of Morgan Freeman's Through the Wormhole will blow your mind! family liked the whole series. Well. Except the episode about "The Sixth Sense." And the fact that they could have used a physicist sci fi- author pundit, now and then. ==Exoplanets and Runaway Planets== Turns out there could be billions of habitable planets around faint red dwarf stars in our galaxy. Well... maybe. An international team, including astronomers from the European Southern Observatory (ESO), has applied the technique of gravitational microlensing to measure how common planets are in the Milky Way, surveying millions of stars over six years. The team concludes that planets around stars are the rule rather than the exception. How was it done? Beyond gravitational wobble and Kepler's occultation method, there's an added method by which exoplanets are detected - via the way that the gravitational field of their host stars acts like a lens, magnifying the light of a background star. If the star that acts as a lens has a planet in orbit around it, the planet can make a detectable contribution, warping the brightening effect on the background star. is a very powerful tool, with the potential to detect exoplanets that could never be found any other way. But a very rare chance alignment of a background and foreground star is required for a microlensing event to be seen at all. And, to spot a planet during the rare event, an additional chance alignment of the planet’s orbit is also needed. Significantly, any one episode is likely never to be repeated, so you can't learn much about the planet. This mostly helps by offering statistics. In six year's worth of microlensing data used in the analysis, three exoplanets were firmly detected... enough to suggest that planets are very abundant. (In fact, we astonomers always expected it to be so, because of angular momentum considerations; but it is good to see proof.) In other news: Astronomers believe that runaway planets may zoom at a fraction of speed of light. When a solar system passed close to a black hole, all sorts of wild stuff can happen, including planets being expelled from the galaxy at relativistic speeds! ==Solar Tornadoes, Micro Black Holes & Civilization's End== Astronomers present images of a solar tornado as much as five times the width of Earth, an event they believe triggers solar storms. Cool images! Reminding me of the days when I was a solar observer at the Big Bear Observatory and caught on film the Great Flare of ‘72. Yep! By crickey! Should we fear collisions with micro-black holes? Scientists seem convinced that such a tiny singularity (black hole) would pass right through our planet without gobbling enough mass to slow down. Fair enough. But what if the singularity were local? So in much lower-velocity orbit in the Solar system? Or even (as I portrayed in EARTH) man-made? One of ten thousand possible explanations for why we seem to be alone in the universe? author and futurist Vernor Vinge is surprisingly optimistic when it comes to the prospect of civilization collapsing. “I think that [civilization] coming back would actually be a very big surprise,” he says in this week’s episode of the Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy podcast. And see a fairly wise article on SETI by my esteemed colleague Nick Sagan. of magnetically-confined inertial fusion, suggest we may be a lot closer to workable fusion reactors than previously thought. Sandia Labs will test the simulation experimentally in 2013.

See the "sand flea rover" prototype of a wheeled robot that can also (sproing!) leap actual tall buildings in a single bound.

HAND-HELD computers have many uses -- but who would have thought they could take art home from a museum? That is just what is happening at the current Biennial exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. At a special kiosk, visitors can download ''Tap,'' a digital artwork by James Buckhouse, into electronic organizers equipped with the Palm operating system, and with that download, receive their own digital dancer (male or female, the viewer picks). The dancer practices, learns from other dancers and gives recitals. Technology in museums, especially the artistic kind, has traditionally meant audio guides. This was not a deliberate oversight; many museums began testing an array of Jetsons-style gadgetry a few years ago, but the dot-com bust and the economic downturn have delayed progress. Museums are now slowly recapturing their momentum. Many are experimenting with the latest technology, and soon their galleries may be wired (or go wireless) for the Internet, allowing visitors to use their hand-held computers to download information about an entire collection or a single object, to explore a museum's hidden archives or bookmark Web pages. The Exploratorium, a science and art museum in San Francisco, is developing the Electronic Guidebook Project, which will not only allow visitors to download additional material on their hand-held computers, but also create a password-protected personal Web page, meaning people can revisit their own selection of the museum's collections from any computer. The American Museum of the Moving Image in New York is testing eDocent, a wireless network in its galleries that will allow visitors to download information into their hand-held computers and bookmark Web pages. The network may also give audiences viewings of what they cannot see in the gallery. Like many museums, the Museum of the Moving Image can display only a small percentage of its collection, 1,200 of 90,000 objects. When eDocent becomes a reality, which is not expected until 2003, audiences could see much of this hidden collection. ''Because our collection is so extensive, we have a huge amount of material to link,'' said Rochelle Slovin, the museum's director. ''The ultimate goal of eDocent is for the information to be so rich and extensive that you could go deeper and deeper into the layers.'' The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis is preparing for a $90 million renovation and expansion project, which will break ground in 2003. Central to the renovation is a wireless network that will provide visitors with more information about objects in the museum, said Andrew Blauvelt, the museum's design director. He thinks that hand-held computers will not be the only way to download material. Indeed, Mr. Blauvelt is interested in what he calls ''social computing,'' which is a shared or collaborative computer experience. This could involve a group sitting at a ''smart'' table, where touch screens embedded in the tabletop would allow many users to tap into Walker's collections and resources, and simultaneously interact and discuss the information with others. To explore other social computing possibilities, Mr. Blauvelt has invited more than 30 artists, designers and architects to submit ideas. He is also interested in futuristic options, like wearable computer guides. ''Technically, the iPAQ is wearable,'' he said, referring to Compaq's hand-held device. ''This is more radical, where circuitry is stitched into a fabric or a scarf.'' Many museums hope that the new technology lures younger audiences. ''We have an entire generation coming up speaking digital as a first language,'' said Leonard Steinbach, a program creator at the Cleveland Museum of Art.
Mr. Hardy, the Hardy boys' father, has been kidnapped! Mr. Hardy had gone to a magician?s dressing room. The magician does a trick and Mr. Hardy disappeared. The Hardy boys want to know where their father is. They find two SKOOL agents, Dell and Mr. Smith, who help the Hardys look for their father. Hexton, the magician, is captured. His men are also captured. Read to find out if the Hardys find their father.My favorite part of the book was when the Hardys went to the castle. This part was action packed because there were goons and a magician in it. This part was also scary because they got caught and thrown into a dungeon. This part was adventurous, too! It was adventures because of how they get out of the dungeon. I enjoyed reading this book because it was hard. It had long words and some I hadn?t even seen before. I also enjoyed this book because it was long. It took a lot of time to read. I mostly liked this book because it was mysterious. It was hard to find out who did it. I felt overjoyed as I read this book because I?ve read other books like it. The books were all mysterious. Also, I knew about the book, but it took me a long time to take it out of the library. I really wanted to read it badly.I recommend this book to people who like adventures, action, and mysteries. To people who like adventures, the Hardys go off into different states, countries, and sometimes different continents. For the people who like action, there's something exciting always going on in each of the 20 chapters. If you like mysteries, the Hardys are always solving one.

It turns out that Ivy was there to some way somehow will Ivy and Bean become friends you will half to read the book to find out. I loved this book because it was funny and interesting why it was funny and interesting why I think it was funny and interesting is wen Ivy is sitting outside reading for a hour wen Bean can’t even sit still for a second. I think it is interesting that 2 completely different people can become friends. That seams cool. This story reminds me so much like clementine cause it seems like 2 completely different people became friends like clementine and Margaret a connection I made was when I was little there was this girl I thought she was totally different than my nanny set up a playdate with her the first few playdates were terrible. Over the years she became one of my best friends like Ivy and Bean maybe they will become friends I would recommend this book to grades 2nd to 5th grade because I read the hole series in second grade and I still love it I would say that people who love fun and extremely silly story’s will love Ivy and Bean.

TV is one of the most popular forms of media. As much as there are many people who might want to dispute this, a majority of people still find themselves drawn to the entertainment box. Radio which was more popular in the previous generation is slowly losing its glory. This is mostly because there are numerous gadgets that can be used to listen to music. Podcasts for example can be used in place of the radio. This is one of the things that is increasingly gaining popularity in social media. Some of the basics that involve the podcasts include: This is a combination of the words “broadcast” and “iPod”; podcasts are a kind of digital media that is episodic. Users can download to this media via web syndication when they have subscribed. They take the form of the audio although there are video podcasts where slideshows are used. In the past, they were only used by the techie demographic but the general public son caught up. Content used in the podcasts usually ranges from culture, sports, music and magic among many others. Social Media and Podcasts Podcasts were introduced almost at the same time as social media. Most people understand social media as fancy web 2.0 terminologies that are related to Facebook and Twitter which are a means of opening up communication as well as interactions between organizations and their followers, fans and audience, brands and persons. The podcasts allow for a wider interaction with people mostly because of the syndication feeds. Feeds permit the users to download the podcasts once they have been released and listen to them using a variety of mediums. This is different from the radio where you have to tune in at a specific time or date. Most of the time, the people who have produced the podcasts will become the producers and vice versa thus they end up holding conversations with each other. Podcasting calling usually calls for active participation and listening. Content and Freedom Podcasts empower both the consumer and the producer. Listeners can choose the time they want to listen to the content. Anyone with a computer and microphone can participate as it does not have too many restrictions. They have become one of the most unique ways of sharing information/content. Podcasts have broad audience, do not have any restrictions, can be used easily as it does not have difficult applications and is one of the major forms of media which gives people voice to be heard.

This is what the story is about. It is about a boy named Fudge, and his brother Peter who is in the fourth grade. Fudge is always causing trouble. One time Fudge tried to act like a bird, and knocked his front teeth out. Another time, he wouldn't eat so his dad said, "Eat it or wear it! "I really liked this book because it's a funny book. My favorite part is when Fudge took some potatoes and put them on the wall in a restaurant. Fudge reminds me of one of my cousins. He gets everybody in trouble. One time he went and told a lie about me to my parents, and I got in trouble. I recomend this book because it will make people laugh. Kids in third grade and up could read this book. It is too hard for younger kids to read by themselves.

Date: May 2011 Creator: Crawford, Katlyn Marie Description: This thesis analyzes and demonstrates the similarities and differences between some of the national symbols of France and the United States. This includes the shared and borrowed aspects of each one and the ways in which each culture is reflected through, and built around them. The flags, national anthems, and several national icons such as France's Marianne and Uncle Sam are discussed. This analysis deals with the historical contexts and cultural meanings of the symbols, showing the changes each has undertaken in form and in national and international importance. Through the study of national symbols, this thesis reveals the similarities along with the differences between the two nations, which are often perceived as being highly dissimilar and even opposing in belief systems, cultures, and histories.

If you get picked on by someone, have lost someone really close to you, or if you are a little short for your age, then Dear Max by Sally Grindley is the perfect book for you! This realistic fiction books shows how 9 year-old Max from England, interacts with his favorite author, D.J. Max talks about his problems, shares his personal business, and draws pictures on his letters that show you how Max sees the world. There are many reasons why I enjoyed this book. I really liked this book because the way Max over-exaggerates the things he complains about is funny. This book is very much like the other books I read by Sally Gindley because on each page there is something funny. This series is special because the books are written in letter form. It also has Max's “kid” handwriting. Dear Max is similar to the other Max books because they are all a series of letters but also each book adds new characters. There are illustrations in the books. I like the illustrations because his drawings show me how Max sees the world. Dear Max is a really good book to read. I recommend Dear Max to kids in 4th and 5th grades because you need to understand the humor in Max uses. Some of the situations he writes about might be confusing to a younger student and a bit boring for middle school students. I also recommend this to people who enjoy reading diaries and journals.
This book is about a boy named Danny who only has his father and his friend. His father is a poacher who teaches him how to poach. If you read this book you’ll find out why Danny is called the champion of the worldMy opinion is that Roald Dahl has written a lot of really good books, like Dirty Beasts and Fantastic Mr. Fox. I recommend this book because I think it’s the best book he’s ever written.This book would be good for 3rd grade and up. This book isn’t similar to many books. This story is one of those simple kind of stories. Even though it is a simple story it has a very good message. It could be used in school as a good read aloud or an independent reading book.

Why is it important not to smoke? The book I read was about a boy who wanted to be part of a gang and the only way was for him to smoke. Scout brother was hanging out with the Tootall Gang. He was pulling tricks, being bad, and being disrespectful to his sister and brother. One day he came home smelling like smoke and his brothers and sisters asked him ?where have you been and why are you coming home smelling like cigarette smoke?. Brother scout didn?t care what they said because he kept hanging out with the Tootall Gang. Until A couple of days later the milkman caught them smoking and he grabbed brother scout and took him to the graveyard to show him people who had died of smoking. When Brother scout saw this he felt sad and started wondering about what would happen to him if he kept smoking. If you want to know what he decided on, go out to the library and get this great book. I liked the book because it tells a lot of good reasons why you should not smoke. The lesson about this book is don?t hang around people that smoke. Also don?t smoke at all because smoking causes and brings trouble. The book made me wonder about the people who smokes and wants them to stop. I felt bad because scout brother was to young to be staying away from home and smoking. My favorite part in the book is when scout brother stopped hanging out with the Tootall gang.I recommend this book to everyone who smokes that they can know what smoking can do to you and others, people can read this book so that they can tell them what can happened to them if they keep on smoking.
She and her friends Fang, Iggy, Nudge, Gazzy, and Angel were taken from their parents and were tortured by being tested on and having needles poked etcetera. In the end all the tests made them only 90% human the other 10% was wings! They escaped from the school, what they call the experiment lab, and fled. Now they live in the mountains but wolf-men, what Max calls erasers, come back and steal the youngest child Angel. While Angel is at the school she is experimented on again and again. When she is there she learns some interesting things like, something about their profile in the Institute of Higher Learning in New York City. They go to New York City but there is no Institute of Higher Learning? Is there?This book is very exciting!!!! I love how the author made it so it feels like you’re right there in the wonderful story. This book is full of surprises such as what she really feels about Fang, if she IS supposed to save the world and get revenge on someone she thought she could trust. Max reminds me of my own life because of how she acts like a mother and always is worrying. I hover protectively over my friends, like making sure they wrote down their homework, and I am always worrying.This story is for 9 and up, good for all ages. I say 9 because the action might be too much for some children. It is filled with drama, action, mystery, and some romance. I hope you go to the library or bookstore and get it is so great. You will not be sorry that you came to read Maximum Ride by James Patterson.

When she turned back around the girl was gone and so was all the money. Addy was devastated and hurt.My opinion about the character in the book is good. My other opinion about this book is good because it is funny. I like the middle of the story because it was funny.

This book is about Wanda Belch,the lunch lady, and Eric, the kid in school.It takes place at school and on school property.In the beginning, Eric?s old cafeteria lady left and now they?re getting a new cafeteria lady and her name is Wanda Belch. Then, they think she?s going to serve food like real witches in her sandwiches and like gooley ghouls in her goulash. At the end, they found out the cafeteria lady wasn?t so bad after all because she was pretty and because she was very kind and nice.I enjoyed this book because the illustrations were beautiful and the ending was very surprising! This book is part of a series. It is like the other books because the kid always is scared of someone new in school. At the end of each, he finds out the person is really normal. This book is different than the others in the series because it is a different school person.I would recommend this book to people who already like the Black Lagoon Series. They will find it interesting because of all funny names they make for the lunch menu.

Do you know some mean parents? If you do, then you should read the book Matilda. Her dad was so mean he tore up her library book. She got so mad that she blew the TV up with her powers. Her mom left her home alone and went to bingo all the time. She went to school and thought that Agatha Trunchbull was a mean principal. Her teacher's name was Miss Honey and she was nice. My favorite part is when Matilda was writing on the chalkboard with her powers. That is my favorite part because she got the Trunchbull scared. That was cool! My favorite character is Hortensia because she did some pretty brave stuff in the book. That was so funny when she put itching powder in the Trunchbull's knickers. This book is like "The Twits" because the Twits are mean like Matilda's parents and The Trunchbull.I recommend this story because it made me laugh a lot. A fifth grader or older could read it on their own.
\|Town or city\|\|Buenos Aires\| \|Design and construction\| La Casa Rosada (English: The Pink House) is the executive mansion and office of the President of Argentina. The palatial mansion is known officially as Casa de Gobierno, which means "House of Government" or "Government House" in English language. Normally, the President lives at the Quinta de Olivos, the official residence of the President of Argentina, which is located in Olivos, Buenos Aires Province. The characteristic color of the Casa Rosada is baby pink, and is considered one of the most emblematic buildings in Buenos Aires. The Casa Rosada also has a museum, which contains objects relating to former presidents of Argentina. The Casa Rosada has been declared a National Historic Monument of Argentina. The Casa Rosada sits at the eastern end of the Plaza de Mayo, a large square which since the 1580 foundation of Buenos Aires has been surrounded by many of the most important political institutions of the city and of Argentina. The site, originally at the shoreline of the Río de la Plata, was first occupied by the "Fort of Juan Baltazar of Austria," a structure built on the orders of the founder of Buenos Aires, Captain Juan de Garay, in 1594. Its 1713 replacement by a masonry structure (the "Castle of San Miguel") complete with turrets made the spot the effective nerve center of colonial government. Following independence, President Bernardino Rivadavia had a Neoclassical portico built at the entrance in 1825, and the building remained unchanged until, in 1857, the fort was demolished in favor of a new customs building. Under the direction of British Argentine architect Edward Taylor, the Italianate structure functioned as Buenos Aires' largest building from 1859 until the 1890s. The old fort's administrative annex, which survived the construction of Taylor's Customs House, was enlisted as the Presidential offices by Bartolomé Mitre in the 1860s and his successor, Domingo Sarmiento, who beautified the drab building with patios, gardens and wrought-iron grillwork, had the exterior painted pink reportedly in order to defuse political tensions by mixing the red and white colours of the country's opposing political parties: red was the color of the Federales, while white was the color of the Unitarians. An alternative explanation suggests that the original paint contained cow's blood to prevent damage from the effects of humidity. Sarmiento also authorized the construction of the Central Post Office next door in 1873, commissioning Swedish Argentine architect Carl Kihlberg, who designed this, one of the first of Buenos Aires' many examples of Second Empire architecture. Presiding over an unprecedented socio-economic boom, President Julio Roca commissioned architect Enrique Aberg to replace the cramped State House with one resembling the neighboring Central Post Office in 1882. Following works to integrate the two structures, Roca had architect Francesco Tamburini build the iconic Italianate archway between the two in 1884. The resulting State House, still known as the "Pink House," was completed in 1898 following its eastward enlargement, works which resulted in the destruction of the customs house. A Historical Museum was created in 1957 to display presidential memorabilia and selected belongings, such as sashes, batons, books, furniture, and three carriages. The remains of the former fort were partially excavated in 1991, and the uncovered structures were incorporated into the Museum of the Casa Rosada. Located behind the building, these works led to the rerouting of Paseo Colón Avenue, unifying the Casa Rosada with Parque Colón (Columbus Park) behind it. Plans were announced in 2009 for the restoration of surviving portions of Taylor's Customs House, as well. The Casa Rosada itself is currently undergoing extensive renovation delayed by the 2001 economic crisis. The work is scheduled for completion on the 2010 bicentennial of the May Revolution that led to independence. Evolution of the Casa Rosada The Fort In 1536, Don Pedro de Mendoza established a settlement near the mouth of the Riachuelo de los Navíos, called Nuestra Señora del Buen Ayre. In 1580, Juan de Garay founded the city at the place which was to be the Plaza Mayor (nowadays Plaza de Mayo), naming it Santísima Trinidad while the port retained the name of the original settlement; the "Royal Fort of Don Juan Baltasar de Austria" was built in 1594. It was replaced in 1713 by a more solid construction with turrets, sentry boxes, a moat and a drawbridge that upon being completed in 1720 was given the name of "Castillo San Miguel" (St. Michael's Castle). President Bernardino Rivadavia modified the fort in 1820, and the drawbridge was replaced by a neoclassical portico. The site which was for defence purposes at that time and also seat of the Spanish and Home governments, is where Government House currently stands. In the Pink House Museum one of its cannon holes can be found and part of a storage room of the Royal Treasury's warehouse. New Customs House Under the direction of the English architect, Edward Taylor, the New Customs House was built in 1855 back to back with the rear walls of the Fort, facing the river. It is the first public building of great size built by the young mercantile State of Buenos Aires; its semicircular shape had five floors for depots and fifty one storage rooms with arched ceilings, surrounded by loggias. From the central tower at the top of which there was a clock and a beacon, stretched out a 300 m pier providing wharfaging for ships of greater draught to cast their anchors. Via two side ramps carts, loaded with goods, accessed the manoeuvring dock. It was used for almost forty years and it was demolished down to the first floor by the Madero Port project and its foundations are buried under what is today Colón Park. The Post Office Palace President Domingo Sarmiento ordered the construction of the Postal headquarters in 1873 on open ground that had remained after the south wing of the Buenos Aires Fort had been demolished. This project was carried out by the Swedish architect Carlos Kihlberg, with a design inspired by Italian Renaissance Revival architecture and French Second Empire details. As Government House looked totally insignificant compared to this new post office building, President Julio Roca called upon the department of civil engineers to produce a project for extending and repairing the former, and the project submitted by the Swedish architect, Enrique Aberg was adopted. It proposed the demolition of the Fort and the construction of another building, identical to the post office, differentiating it by incorporating a long balcony on the first floor for the use of authorities during public festivities and parades. This was the end of the Fort of which only some walls and one of the cannon holes can be seen in the current Government House museum. For aesthetic reasons and to solve the problem of lack of space it was later decided that the Post Office building be incorporated into Government House. Architect Francesco Tamburini was commended this task. He designed a great central archway to join the two buildings into one, bringing together the surroundings where the New Customs House and Old Arcade were, interpreted by the architect as enveloping a central main axis on which the entrances were located, emphasized by a higher archway. The Palace The outlay of the buildings is three stories on Balcarce Street and four storeys plus a basement/galleries of Government House Museum, on Avenida Paseo Colón, practically covering the footage of a whole bloc. All the original rooms that are on the three main façades have direct ventilation and lighting, while the original internal rooms were designed in such a way that ventilation and light should come from the loggia that surround internal patios designed for this purpose. All, except one, were crowned by skylights, of which only two remain. The original structure consists of packwalls of varying thickness and slabs supported by brick counter ceilings with steel or wood roof lines, according to the sector. Following a long process of construction the current building was officially inaugurated in 1898, during the second presidency of General Julio Roca. The President sits at his or her office on a seat known as the "Seat of Rivadavia." The seat itself did not actually belong to Bernardino Rivadavia, the first President of Argentina; but is instead an homage to the early statesman. The Hall of Busts houses marble busts of the many Presidents of Argentina, made by diverse artists both national and international. The list is not complete, as it does not feature some heads of state that took power by coups, nor national authorities in the times when there wasn't yet a designated presidential office (notably Governor Juan Manuel de Rosas). Currently, the busts are only made for presidents who have been out of office for at least two presidential mandates; the most current one is that of Raúl Alfonsín.

Crash! Something important is missing. This book is about how the famous Stone of Fire was stolen by the evil saber tooth Tiger Khan. Geronimo and his friend Hercule try to get back the Stone of Fire. Tiger Khan is very scary and very, very big. So Geronimo and Hercule have to trick him to get the Stone of Fire. At the end, there is a big battle between the mice and the Saber Tooth Tigers. But you’ll just have to read it to find out more.This book is very funny and creative because they have cars which are called Autosaurus. An Autosaurus has a seat on the front for the driver to control the Autosaurus. It is called the bridle. On the back there is a seat for extra passengers. Also on the back there is a tank where they put stuff in it. There is a little dinosaur in the front called the Shrieker who makes a loud sound like a horn on a car. This story reminds me of NYC because there are subways, busy streets and tall buildings. My favorite character is Hercule because he is funny as he always ignores what Geronimo says and takes credit for the good plans that Geronimo comes up with.I recommend this book to people who like funny, kid-friendly books. It’s not too long nor too short. I think Geronimo Stilton relates to me and maybe you because he acts like a scaredy mouse. I also can be scared like him when I go on dangerous adventures. I like the pictures in this book because there are captions that show what the character is saying. They
Inspector Gadget is a Canadian-French-American-Japanese animated series that ran from 1983 to 1986. It was the first show produced by DiC Entertainment.

Destructive distillation is a chemical process. During destructive distallation decomposition of unprocessed material is caused by heating the material to a high temperature. The term usually applies to processing of organic material in an area with little or no oxygen or other reagents, catalysts, or solvents. These would include things such as steam or phenols. It is an use of pyrolysis. The process breaks up or 'cracks' large molecules. Coke, coal gas, gaseous carbon, coal tar, ammonia liquor, and coal oil are examples of things made by the destructive distillation of coal. Chemical processes

When the wolf is trying to borrow sugar from the first two pigs, he accidentally kills them so he eats them! The third little pig is smart and rude, so he doesn?t get eaten.Our favorite character is the wolf because he tells the story in a very hilarious way. A favorite part is when the wolf says, ?When somebody talks about my granny like that, I get a little crazy?. It is extremely humorous when the wolf says, ?. . . and the whole time, I was huffing and puffing and making a real scene.? It?s funny when he drops the cup. Lauren B. likes it when the second little pig tells the wolf, ?Go away wolf, you can?t come in. I?m shaving the hairs on my chinny chin chin.? The illustrations have a lot of detail. They look as if the illustrator took five hours on each one! She used dark and light colors which make them look unique.This is a well-known fairy tale, but the wolf is telling the story. We will leave the end as a surprise, but it is our favorite part!
The Letter of Jeremiah, also known as the Epistle of Jeremy. This is a deuterocanonical (or apocryphal) book of the Old Testament. The letter is believed to have been made by Jeremiah to the people who were to be taken prisoner into Babylon. It is included in Catholic Bibles as the last part of the Book of Baruch. It is also in Orthodox Bibles as a standalone book. Author Most learned people argue that the person who started the book was not Jeremiah. Jeremiah was a Hellenistic Jew who lived in Alexandria. Whoever the starter, the work was written with a purpose: to teach the Jews not to worship the gods of the Babylonians. Instead, to worship only the Lord. Place in religious law The letter (epistle) is part of the Septuagint. There is no evidence of it ever having been rule bearing in the Jewish tradition. The earliest evidence we have of the question of its canonicity arising in Christian tradition is in the work of Origen of Alexandria, as reported by Eusebius in his Church History. Origen listed Lamentations and the Letter of Jeremiah as one unit with the Book of Jeremiah proper, among "the canonical books as the Hebrews have handed them down". Jerome provided the majority of the translation work for the vulgar (popular) Latin translation of the Bible, called the Vulgate Bible. In view of the fact that no Hebrew text was available, Jerome refused to consider the Epistle of Jeremiah, as the other books he called apocryphal, canonical. Despite Jerome's reservations, the epistle is included as chapter 6 of the book of Baruch in the Old Testament of the Vulgate. The Authorized King James Version follows the same practice, while placing Baruch in the Apocrypha section. In the Ethiopian Orthodox canon, it forms part of the "Rest of Jeremiah", along with 4 Baruch (also known as the Paraleipomena of Jeremiah). The epistle is one of three deuterocanonical books found among the Dead Sea scrolls (the other two are Ben Sira and Tobit.) The portion of the epistle discovered at Qumran was written in Greek. This does not preclude the possibility of the text being based on a prior Hebrew or Aramaic text. However, the only text available to us has dozens of linguistic features available in Greek, but not in Hebrew, hence introductions of a Greek editor, not required for minimalist translation.

This book is about a boy named Jesse. He's known as the fastest kid in the 5th-grade. At Jesse's school, they have races. She is a fast runner too. They become very good friends. One day, they thought of building a place called Terabithia. It was a very special place, it was a secret that was all their own. They spent a lot of time there. One day only Jesse showed up. What happened to Leslie? Read this book to find out. I think this is a good book because it has surprising parts. I like the part when they build Terabithia. It reminds me of when my dad and I built a shack that just my brother and I could play in. That shack was just our very own. I found the main character interesting because he's a hard worker. He works hard at the farm while his sisters just play around and go shopping, he does well in school, and he does really fantastic art. I like him because of that. I recommend this book to people who like sad stories about good friendships. Jesse and Leslie had a friendship that would last forever, no matter what.

Blurry Pluto will become clear with NASA flyby The best picture we have of Pluto is a blurry, pixelated blob, but that is about to change when a NASA spacecraft makes the first-ever flyby of the dwarf planet. The US space agency’s unmanned New Horizons spacecraft is scheduled to pass by Pluto on July 14, and will send back unprecedented high-resolution images, allowing people to glimpse the surface of the distant celestial body in rich detail. Pluto was long considered the ninth planet in the solar system, and the furthest from the sun. It was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006. Rocky on the inside and icy on the outside, Pluto has five moons and resides in the Kuiper Belt, a zone of the solar system that is a relic of the era of planetary formation more than 4.5 billion years ago, and contains comets and the building blocks of small planets. “It sounds like science fiction but it is not,” said Alan Stern, principal investigator on the New Horizons mission. “Three months from today, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft will make the first exploration of the Pluto system, the Kuiper Belt and the farthest shore of exploration ever reached by humankind,” Stern told reporters Tuesday. – Size of a piano – New Horizons, about the size of a baby grand piano, is the fastest moving spacecraft ever launched, and is traveling about a million miles (1.6 million kilometers) a day on its way to this unexplored frontier. The 1,000-pound (465-kilogram) vehicle launched in 2006, on a journey of some three billion miles to get to Pluto. It is powered by plutonium since the sunlight is so weak at that distance that solar arrays — often used in other kinds of spacecraft — would not work. Stern described the spacecraft as being “in perfect health” and carrying a “scientific arsenal” of the most powerful suite of seven scientific instruments ever brought to bear on the first reconnaissance of a new celestial body. “Nothing like this has been done in a quarter century and nothing like this is planned by any space agency ever again,” Stern said. New Horizons aims to map the geology of Pluto and its moons. The largest, Charon, is the size of Texas. Scientists hope to learn more about the atmosphere of Pluto, which is mainly nitrogen like Earth’s, and find out if Pluto and Charon have interior oceans. – Fast flyby – In mid-July, the spacecraft will pass by Pluto at a speed of 31,000 miles (50,000 kilometers) per hour. The New Horizons spacecraft management team on Earth is aiming for a target point 7,750 miles from Pluto’s surface, but it will not be easy to get into the right position. “We are flying three billion miles. We have to hit a target that is 60 by 90 miles, and we have to hit it within 100 seconds after nine and a half years. That’s the kind of precision we have to navigate to,” said Glen Fountain, New Horizons project manager at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. Starting in May, high resolution images of Pluto and Charon should start arriving on Earth, said Cathy Olkin, New Horizons deputy project scientist at the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado. The spacecraft will continue sending bits of data and photos from the flyby until October 2016. “We are going to have surprises and discoveries over the next year and a half,” Olkin told reporters. Already, some images have begun to arrive, and atmospheric studies of the surface ices will begin in May and June, followed by plasma data, geologic and color data in August and more science in September. But on the day of the closest approach, July 14, there will be no images, she said. “We need to keep our sights on Pluto, we need to train our instruments on Pluto,” Olkin said. “We are all going to have to be patient while New Horizons is exploring Pluto.” After the flyby of Pluto, New Horizons will carry on into the Kuiper Belt to study more about the history of planetary formation.
Gabrielle Giffords is an American politician. She was born on June 8, 1970. She is a Democratic member of the United States House of Representatives. She was badly injured January 8, 2011, during a shooting in Tucson, Arizona after being shot in the head at very close range, but survived. She was holding a meeting around the parking lot of a supermarket when the shooting happened. Since 2007, she has been married to astronaut and United States Senator Mark Kelly. Dem. Gabrielle Giffords was a member of the United States House of Representatives from Arizona's 8th district from January 1, 2001 - January 25, 2012. She made a living translating English medical terms into Spanish for the use in the ER to Pediatrics. In Tuscan, Arizona on January 8, 2011 at a Wal-Mart shopping plaza she was holding a meeting for herself and the public to share concerns about the current and future state of Arizona along with its role at the White House with newly elected President Barak Obama. At that time she was unaware of that day and what it would mean to her colleagues and constituents, as well as, other American citizens around the country. She made multiple appearances during her recovery on the floor of Congress during important laws trying to be passed to the Senate and President for approval. Dem. Giffords continuing resiliency to remember that 'change' is an important part of democracy to continue to stay relevant in a world connected with each other hand in hand in the blink of an eye across the globe. When someone's character or beliefs come into question by another person or imitator online, persons should be made aware of their surroundings and be able to feel safe in public.

Different magnitudes of projected subsurface ocean warming around Greenland and Antarctica Recent acceleration of Greenland and Antarctic outlet glaciers and ice flows is closely linked to ocean warming, especially in the subsurface layer. This land ice melt will cause sea level rise. We find that in response to an increase in atmospheric greenhouse-gas concentrations, the subsurface oceans (200-500 m) surrounding the two polar ice sheets both warm substantially more than has been observed thus far. Model projections suggest that the maximum ocean warming around Greenland will be double the global mean, whereas ocean warming around Antarctica will be only half the global mean (see figure). A detailed evaluation indicates that the climate mechanisms behind the projected warming are likely realistic and capable of driving substantial increases in ice mass loss and sea level rise in the future. A more accurate simulation and projection of ice sheets and their interactions with the ocean and the atmosphere require refined resolution Earth system models, which resolve fast-moving ice flows and small-scale temperature changes. The availability of these models in the future would significantly advance our understanding of ice sheet dynamics, and in turn improve sea level rise projections. Until then, these results suggest substantial dynamic ice sheet mass loss due to continued ocean warming should be considered a real possibility. Figure.

Warming along the land-ocean boundary of Greenland and Antarctica, together with the global mean in the same layer.

EPA Names Partners with Most On-Site Power Walmart tops the US Environmental Protection Agency’s list of organizations within its Green Power Partnership generating the most on-site renewable electricity. Walmart is head and shoulders above other partners, generating nearly 175 million kWh of electricity annually, while the second-place spot is taken by BMW, generating about 71 million kWh annually. EPA’s Green Power Partnership works with more than 1,400 organizations to voluntarily purchase green power. Overall, EPA’s Green Power Partners are using more than 24 billion kWh of green power annually. Of the top five Partners with on-site renewable power, Coca-Cola Refreshments comes in at number 3, generating about 47 million kWh each year; followed by the US Air Force (37 million kWh) and Kohl’s Department Stores (36 million kWh). Usage amounts reflect US operations only and are sourced from US-based green power resources. the usage figures are based on annualized Partner contract amounts (kilowatt-hours), not calendar year totals. Organizations can meet EPA Partnership requirements using any combination of three different product options: (1) Renewable Energy Certificates, (2) On-site generation, and (3) Utility green power products. - 2013 Insider Knowledge - The Logistics, Carbon, and Business Data Book: Fall 2012 Sustainability Trends - Environmental Leader Technology Reviews - Guide to Energy, Carbon and Environmental Software - ISO 50001: Frequently Asked Questions - The Growing Trend of Sustainability Scorecards - Your Guide to Total Energy and Sustainability Management - How to Reduce Cost by Increasing Accountability for Energy Efficiency - The Business Case for Corporate Sustainability Tools - January 2013 - 9 Ways to Reduce Energy Costs
Have you ever seen a 7 million dollar winning lottery ticket? Shockingly it was stolen from Lucky O'Leary! I guess Lucky isn't so lucky after all. The best detectives Josh, Ruth Rose and Dink go to the lottery headquarters to try and crack the case. Will they find the missing ticket or is Lucky doomed to be unlucky forever?My favorite part was when the detectives found the person who stole the lottery ticket. I liked this part because I think people getting arrested is cool. I like this book because it is a mystery and I like mysteries. Also it is an exciting book. There are many clues and suspects throughout the book which makes it harder to solve. I like the challenge of solving the mystery. This book is like other books by the same author because all the books use descriptive words and some of the same characters.I recommend this book to students in grades 2 to 4. This book is an enjoyable mystery. You will like the writing style.
The word amplifier (sometimes called an amp) usually refers to an electronic amplifier. Electronic amplifiers make a signal from a radio or electric musical instrument (such as an electric guitar or an electric bass guitar) louder and stronger. Amplifiers are also hidden in any electronic thing that makes sound with loudspeakers. This includes televisions, radios, computers, and mp3 players, to name a few. Amplifiers ability to use low impedance speakers may vary. Typical impedance is 8 ohms. Classification can be done by current loss when amplifier is on but does not get signal. Example: A-class amplifier takes more current without signal than B-class amplifier but A-class amplifier have smaller distortion. There is also several distortion types. How it works Electronic amplifiers make a signal from the radio or electric instrument louder and stronger by using transistors or vacuum tubes. Electronic amplifiers have to be connected to electrical current or a battery to work. Once the signal from the radio or electric instrument has been made louder and stronger, the signal needs to be connected to a loudspeaker so that people can hear it. When an amplifier tries to make the sound louder than it can, it adds distortion to the sound. Some amplifiers are made to add controlled distortion. Distortion from transistors sounds different than distortion from tubes. Distortion from tubes is often said to be more musical. Because of all this, more expensive amplifiers often add controlled distortion with tubes. Many of these amplifiers use transistors for a "clean" sound (without distortion). History From the 1920s until the 1950s, electronic amplifiers used vacuum tubes. However, electronic amplifiers with vacuum tubes were heavy, and they produced a lot of heat. They also broke down a lot. Since the 1960s, most electronic amplifiers have been built with transistors. Transistors are lighter, cheaper, and more reliable.

A coup d'etat happened in Gabon on 30 August 2023. It happened because the military did not agree with the results of the general election held on 26 August. Ali Bongo Ondimba was announced to have won the election on 30 August, and the coup happened shortly after. It is the seventh successful coup to occur in West and Central Africa since 2020. The others happened in Mali (twice), Guinea, Burkina Faso (twice) and Niger. References August 2023 events 2023 in Africa Coups d'etat 21st century in Gabon
This book is about a boy named Greg who is in middle school. Greg has a rival that he hates named Dave. Dave always beats Greg at everything. Dave is faster, stronger, has more friends and he even can jump farther than Greg. So now you can see why they are rivals and why Dave is such a pain in the neck to Greg.When it is Halloween, Greg and Dave have a contest to see who can have the scariest costume and who can get the most candy. When they met in front of Dave's house Greg was wearing a wolf costume that stunk and had fake bugs all over it. Dave was wearing a wolf costume but with two heads that stunk even more and had real wolf hair with real bugs in it.When it was time for the competition to start for who got the most candy, they stormed to every house. Dave did not go to one block that Greg did called Horror Street. At the first house that he came across, he got a magic bag from an old lady that made ten copies of whatever was put inside. There was a problem with whatever was put in the bag. When it was multiplied whatever was put in the bag was not as good.I like this book because there is a lot of competition and it was really funny when Greg's cat went into the bag and was multiplied so that they were also acting like tigers and lions. Greg had an idea to get the neighbor's dog and multiply the dog to scare the cats away but things did not go as planned. I also like the book because of the humor.I think that the book that I had read before called "Seven Spiders Spinning" was a better book than this one because it had more detail and action. I don't like this book as much because mainly it is just about a paper bag.
This book is about a little boy who is moved to an orphanage after his mother was killed. He moved from one foster home to another until he ran away. I think you should read this book because it is fantastic and it is kind of sad too. It was hard to put the book down. There is a very good story plot. My favorite part is when he almost killed his best friend because his friend scared him to death while he was sleeping under the trees by the library. I thought the book was suspenseful because of the part where Bud tried to jump on the train while it was moving. This story reminds me of when my brothers and cousins tried to jump onto a train. It was scarey for me because they didn't make it and that frightened me. The grandfather changed in the story. At the beginning of the story he was mean to Bud. At the end of the story, he began to treat Bud differently because he found out it was his grandson.This is nothing like any other book I've pulled off the shelf. I think it is just a little bit better than all of the other books I have read. This book is written by the same person that wrote the Watsons Go To Birmingham, which my teacher read aloud to us in class. Not much was the same about the two books except the fact that a kid in both stories got to meet their grandparent for the first time.
This story is about a little boy who thinks his body is falling apart. Some of his hair got caught in the comb and he thought he was going bald. He had a loose tooth and thought all his teeth were going to fall out. He was going to take a bath and something fell from his nose and he thought his brain was falling out his nose. The little boy is scared and worried because the glue that holds his parts together is falling out all over the place. He gets masking tape and puts it all over his body. His parents remove the tape and tell him everything is alright. In the end he puts his finger in his ear and wonders what's this stuff.I like the pictures because they are funny. It makes you giggle when you see all these things falling off his body. The illustrations of the boy show him having a really big head and body. Some people might like Parts because this little boy could be like any little boy or girl who thinks things like losing a tooth or fuzz in your belly button might be a problem. I never worried about these things but some people might.I do recommend this book because it is so funny to look at and read. I think everyone big or small would like to read about all the parts of the body and what happens to them. I think it's good the author chose a little boy and showed he was scared and his mommy and daddy helped him understand that is was all normal. Some people especially parents may like Parts because it could help them explain things to their kids, like it's okay to lose a tooth.

Imagine if you go to different time periods every day. Well that’s what Jack and Annie do. This is one of their biggest missions yet. Jack and Annie have a surprise mission from Merlin they need to go to a haunted castle on Halloween but you never know what could get in there way! My favorite part is when Annie helps the crow that got injured .I like this because I love animals and I would do the same thing as Annie. I also felt scared because I thought the crow king would change Jack and Annie into crows! I like Jack because he grants the crow king a wish. I didn’t like the crow king because he took something that was very Special. I think 2nd-4th graders and people who like fantasy and adventures should read this book. I recommend this book because I think people will find Annie interesting.

At the beginning of Bead Head a boy named Oliver had a bad hair day. His hair was flying everywhere. Up, down, all around. So his mother, sister, and dad had opinions to help him fix it. His sister's idea was curling it. His father's idea was to pull it. His mother's idea was to wet it. They all agreed and it worked. So they put some gel on it and that worked, until it went BOOM again. So he just wore a hat. When he got to school it was picture day. He took the hat off and nothing happened until the camera man said 1,2,3 and can you guess what happened? You'll have to read it to find out.I like Bedhead because it made me get an imagination in my head. I love hair! The part that really popped out was at the end when his hair went BOOM! I think I liked Emily, his sister, the best because she suggests the curling idea. She reminds me of when I was a little girl playing with hair. I think Oliver learned a lesson. Always know when it's picture day. The illustrator made a lot of good colors choices in the book. The most special part of the book is that Oliver's family loved him enough to pitch in and help him.I highly recommend this book. It made me think about life differently. I think Bed Head is an all age book. It might interest teachers too. I really recommend it for anyone who has ever had a bad hair day.
Vietnam quickly became one of my and my wife’s new favorite destination. As much of Southeast Asia it has plenty of archaeological remains (although not as extensive as Angkor, Bagan, Sukothai, etc.). Less well known to non-Southeast Asianists are the remains of the Champa kingdom in south and central Vietnam. In 2007 we visited the remains of My Son (A.D. 300-1100). It consists of roughly 70 structures in red bricks (mainly Hindu temples). The site was sacked by Suryavarman II’s (the founder of Angkor Vat) army in 1145 but the site continued to be used until the 14th century. During the Vietnam war (or the American war as it is called in Vietnam) it was a hide out for FNL and 18 temples were partially destroyed by American bombs in 1969. The Champa kingdom emerged through a rebellion against China in A.D. 192. The kingdom ceased to exist around 1720 after becoming a Vietnamese vassal two decades before. An important event in the history of the kingdom was its defeat and destruction of Yasodhapura (the earlier capital of the Khmer empire, located in Angkor) in 1177 but the Cham were driven away by the new Khmer king (Jayavarman VII) only four years later. This buddhist king created the last capital of Angkor, Angkor Thom with its massive moat and wall with the famous gates and my favourite among Khmer temples, the Bayon temple.

Munich Airport (IATAcode MUC) is an airport 28 km north east of the city Munich, Germany. It is mainly used by Lufthansa and the Star-Alliance, which Lufthansa is in. In 2008, 34.53 million passengers used the airport. After Frankfurt am Main Munich is the second most important airport in Germany. It is the 8th largest in Europe. History Munich Airport was opened in 1992. Before that the airport was in Riem. Building was started in 1980. Because Frankfurt am Main was so busy, Lufthansa began to use Munich for international flights. The Airport was named after Franz-Josef Strauss, a politician who was very interested in aeroplanes. People in Munich usually just call it Munchen Flughafen or der Flughafen. In 2003 the second airport terminal was opened, for people travelling on Lufthansa and Star-Alliance only. A third runway is planned, because there is much traffic on Munich Airport, but people who live near the airport do not want it. Geography You can use the Munich S-Bahn lines S1 and S8 to go to the city. They both cost EUR8,80 and take about forty minutes. Taxis to Munich cost EUR50 and can get stuck because of traffic congestion. The cities near the airport are Erding and Freising. They can be reached by Bus (~3-4 EUR) or Taxi (~EUR18). The Munich Airport center (MAC) is between the two terminals but it is not so far. It has many shops and restaurants. There is a Hilton Hotel near the airport and a second hotel is planned. Terminals Munich Airport has two terminals. Terminal 2 is newer and larger. Terminal 1 Terminal 1 is used by the non-Star Alliance airlines. The halls or areas are numbered A-F.

Machaira was a rare mythic sword used in the Basileus cult. Basileus cult is the cult of the king, because in ancient Rome the word basileus was translated as "king". To get a Basileus title a person should kill a lion with a special weapon. So this weapon was called - Machaira. Machaira had a very curved blade, which reminded a sickle. The shape of a machaira is often compared to a lion claw. The cutting edge was on the inside part of the blade. The legends say that it has a length from about . The blade was secured in a wooden cage (sheath). This sword was kept by ancient priests called sacerdotes. They used to decorate the sheath with golden ornaments. The sword was kept in special places and used in important rituals. The meaning of machaira sword was ideological. A king who was at the same time a sacerdotus and owned a machaira, made rituals before the battle. Its power showed to the army the right path and saved from enemies' traps. It was supposed that the sword kept the troubles away. It was very important that the machaira to be used only by a sacerdotus, otherwise it was only a beautiful but powerless weapon. The well known king Macedonian Alexander Hephaistion was a sacerdotus. He belonged to the lion cult and used machaira for rituals. Later in 324 B.C. happened the official burial of the machaira sword and Alexander the Great left his sacerdotal powers. The cult of machaira sword and the cult of Basileus were restarted in 301 B.C.

Salivary Gland Adenocarcinoma in Dogs The salivary glands produce and secrete saliva to help in lubrication and improve the solubility of food, an essential component of the digestive process. There are four major salivary glands, including the mandibular, sublingual, parotid, and zygomatic gland. Adenocarcinoma can affect any of these salivary glands, but the most commonly affected gland in dogs is the mandibular gland. Adenocarcinoma is characterized as originating in the glandular tissue, and like other carcinomas, can be especially malignant, spreading quickly throughout the body. This is generally a locally invasive tumor, but it can also metastasize and invade other distant parts and organs of the body. Like other adenocarcinomas, salivary gland adenocarcinoma is usually found in older animals, around 10-12 years of age. Symptoms and Types Symptoms of adenocarcinoma of the salivary glands depends upon the type of salivary gland that is affected. Following are a few of the common symptoms related to salivary gland adenocarcinoma: - Painless swelling of upper neck, ear base, or upper lip - Halitosis (foul breath) - Weight loss - Poor appetite - Dysphagia (difficulty in swallowing) - Exophthalmos (bulging of eye) - Dysphonia (hoarseness) The exact cause is still unknown. Your veterinarian will perform a thorough physical exam on your pet, taking into account the background history of symptoms. Blood tests, biochemical profiles and urinalysis will be performed, though results will often return as normal with this disease. Radiographs of affected areas and bones can reveal important information about the nature and extent of the problem. X-rays of other regions may also be performed to see if the tumor has metastasized into these regions of the body, and more refined procedures, like tissue biopsy, will help in establishing a confirmatory diagnosis.

School is over! 's parents rented a beach house. But Andrea is coming too. The lifeguard, Mr. Sunny is making a sand castle so he can go to France and study. He entered a contest and if he wins he gets to go to France to study art. Guess who Andrea falls in love with? And guess where Mr. Granite is going to teach?My favorite part was when Andrea wanted to kiss someone because she loves them. The illustrations are funny because they looked really good. The colors in the pictures are odd and that makes them funny. This book reminds of the time I went to the beach and my brother told me a story about a fish that eats you. is my favorite character because he hates Andrea. He always says mean stuff to her and this reminds me of my brother.You should get this book because it's really funny and silly. Students in third and fourth grade would like this book because it was written on their level.
Forged by Fire is about a boy named Gerald who's mom is a Drug addict. One day she leaves Gerald and while Gerald is playing with a lighter. He sets the house on fire leaving him helpless. He dashes to the phone and quickly dials 911 then minutes later Gerald passes out on the floor because of smoke inhalition. The ambulance quickly brought Gerald to the hospital. Luckily he survived but his mother is feeling guilty for leaving him at her house alone. Read this book to find out what a happens when a newer, crueler parent comes along and tries to take over her job.I love this book because it's detailed and it doesn't end how you think it would end. My favorite part was when Gerald comes home from the hospital. He went to his aunts house while his mom was in court. He's happy and gets his first bike. This book is part of a series, but the next book is about Gerald's friend Andy.I recommend this book for 5th, 6th, and 7th grade readers. This book might have some innappropiate parts, but it is still an awesome book. This is a cruel book, but has a happyish ending. This is not a book that anyone can predict.
