Passage

Social Culture Business

The purpose of a seed farm near New York City is not to


plant seeds so they will grow into profitable crops, but to
store the seeds so that they can be used sometime in the
distant future. In order to store these seeds for an
indeterminate time, the seeds must be put into suspended
animation, a sleeplike state in which the seeds do not age. These seeds are being
stored in the belief that they will be needed to bring back plant species to areas
in which they have become extinct. (A) The seeds are thus being stored so that
they can become ecological saviors. (B) When planted in the future, these seeds
could help restore damaged parklands and forests. Revived plants could also
protect reservoirs of drinking water by filtering out pollution.
(C) The sad fact is that many plant species are threatened by various human
activities. Forested areas with their undergrowth of bushes and wild flowers are
being cut down for suburban roads and houses. (D)
Furthermore, plant species native to one particular area in the world are being
threatened by non-native species, which have been introduced knowingly or
unknowingly by humans into a new place. (E) For example, a vine native to
Asia called Oriental Bittersweet was introduced into America knowingly by
people who admired the Oriental Bittersweets colorful leaves and berries. But
it is now threatening to destroy a similar but not as seemingly beautiful vine
called American Bittersweet. If any of these threats do result in the extinction of
any plant species, biologists will turn to the Seed Farm for help in reintroducing
that species.

Passage

Social Culture Business

It wasnt until the 1950s that people started identifying the teenage years as a
distinct stage in life. Before the 1950s, there were only kids and grownups and
no teenagers. People didnt think a child turning fifteen was significantly
different than one turning ten. As you grew up you jumped from childhood into
adulthood; but not anymore. These days, the 20 percent of the worlds
population that is experiencing adolescence is going through something distinct
and separate from childhood, and something of great importance to adult life.
The theory is quite simple: if a persons teens are scarred by family, health or
financial problems, that person will be handicapped by these problems in
adulthood. Likewise if a person is blessed with good health in his or her teens,
he or she will have a greater chance of having a healthy adulthood.
(A) Researchers are trying hard to catalogue the
myriad changes that young people are going
through at this time in their life by conducting
longitudinal studies that collect enormous amounts
of data. (B) One longitudinal study of 3,000
people, the Birth to Twenty Study, began in 1990
in South Africa. (C) The subjects in this study are
now in their late teens and the researchers believe
the data will show strong connections between
teenage years and adulthood. (D) These and other
points, however, cannot be proven until subjects in the study reach adulthood.

Passage

Social Culture Business

Students study a lot of subjects at school, but rarely do teachers explain to their
students how the subjects are related to one another. The biology teacher
doesnt explain clearly how his subject can be connected to geography; and
neither does the physical education teacher explain how his subject is related to
biology. In fact, there are huge interconnections among almost all subjects; we
just arent being taught what they are. In the last decades, however, this term
connection has become a big topic all over the world.
The facts that the different manifestations of our
reality are connected, and that everything we
perceive on earth is tied together in a secret
matrix, have always been part of basic knowledge
ever since old civilizations. The ancient scholars
discovered that there was one subject that connects to all the others: Math!
Ancient scholars saw numbers in everything. Pythagoras is famous for stating
bluntly that Everything contains numbers. Augustinus took Pythagoras
statement a step further, uttering a dire warning about the necessity of using
numbers in daily life: Without numbers everything would collapse. And
Novalis believed so strongly in the importance of mathematics that he related it
to religion: Life of Gods is mathematics. Pure mathematics is religion.
These ancient scholars were concerned about the quality not the quantity of
numbers. They realized that numbers could tell us about creation, growth and
life itself. They tried to impart the knowledge that numbers are not simple facts
but the basis of all life.

Passage

The main cause of acne is actually the failure of the body to


break down skin oil before it reaches the surface of the skin.
Why we get it, and consequently, how we can cure it are now
well-understood processes.
Our body makes a chemical called Coenzyme A, which is used
to neutralize skin oil below the surface of the skin. Two of the
three chemicals which make up Coenzyme A are produced by
the body on its own, but the third chemical which makes up Coenzyme A must
come from the food we eat. If we dont eat food which supplies this chemical
then, our bodies will not be able to break down the skin oil that causes acne.
But the process of breaking down skin oil before turning into acne is further
complicated by the fact that Coenzyme A is needed to make testosterone and
estrogen, the sex hormones. When there is very little Coenzyme A in the body,
it has to choose what to use it for. And since sex hormones are far more
important for the survival of the species, the body reduces the amount of
Coenzyme A available for metabolizing skin oil, the skin becomes saturated
with oil, and you get acne.
This imbalance usually starts in puberty and can continue for decades. Most of
this occurs below the surface of the skin, so no topical system such as pads or
creams can address this fundamental problem. The key to fighting acne is to
supply our body with the right foods so that it has enough of the chemical
supplied through food which it uses to make Coenzyme A. Research has shown
that this diet related treatment is the only way to get 100% remission of ones
acne.

Person History

A stone block, Cascajal block, with letters and symbols


carved into it, is believed to be the oldest known piece of
writing in the New World. The block was found in a
gravel mine in Mexico. It is believed to have been carved
by people living in Mexico and Central America before
Columbus discovered the New World. These people,
called the Olmecs, lived in the oldest known civilization
in that part of the world.
The block itself looks extremely weather-beaten as if it
had gone through the ravages of years and years of rain.
The rain has created pits in the blocks and minerals have
formed in some of the symbols and signs. But this piece of
evidence has been backed up with more concrete chemical
testings, which have proven without a doubt that the block
is about 3,000 years old.
Scholars are studying the block, but no one really knows what it says. Linguists
think the carvings on this block are part of a written language, even though very
different symbols are used. The block holds a total of 62 symbols, some of
which resemble plants such as corn, or animals such as insects and fish. Many
of the symbols are more abstract boxes or blobs. Scholars have also noted that
some of the symbols and signs seem like other images found on artifacts from
the Olmec civilization. Also of note is that the writing on the blocks seems to be
composed of several sentences. Essentially the discovery of the block means
that their society had progressed to the point whereby they were keeping
records.

Overwhelmed by problems and lacking sufficient resources, evidence-based


practices have recently increased in popularity as a way to use available
resources as efficiently as possible. A school is one governmental institution
which has these characteristics. Schools have a myriad of problems and often
lack sufficient resources to tackle all of their problems. However, as evidence
shows that school-based mental health (SBMH) services are effective at helping
troubled teenagers feel better about themselves and do better at school, more
and more schools are adopting mental health programs.
There is strong evidence that SBMH services
work. After one year in an initial test program, the
troubled students who participated in it showed
marked improvements in their behavior at school
and in their school work. (a)
, these
students improved school attendance records by 15%. Moreover, incidences in
which the schools had to discipline these kids decreased by 50% as did
incidences of these youths using violence at school. (b)
,
suspensions of these former troubled kids by the school decreased by a
whopping 54%. These statistics clearly showed that the students self-esteem as
well as their attitudes towards their teachers, their school and their school work
had significantly improved. Most youth self-reported significantly improved
commitment to school and the parents of these children concurred. Their
childrens mental health and school work were both much better.
With the reporting of the results of the initial study, more and more schools
have been adopting SBMH service programs. The evidence from these other
programs backs up the conclusions made from the initial study.

Science Technology Nature

Many of us have been taught that when water is heated, it evaporates into the
air, rising up into the sky and eventually forming clouds. It was a simple
concept involving just water, the Sun, and the sky. This idea was accepted as a
basic truth which we never questioned, as we never doubt whether the Earth
orbits around the Sun or not. But as it turns out, weve all been misled. The
whole process of cloud formation depends on the presence of aerosols,
microscopic particles, which are needed for the process of condensation to take
place in the atmosphere. In short, water vapor will not turn into clouds, mist or
fog without aerosols.
It is hard to test theories of cloud formation
since some variables cannot be evenly
controlled. (A) For instance, there are
different pollutants in the atmosphere above
different urban areas. (B) Since the
atmosphere above the worlds oceans is
more stable than that above most cities, scientists have been testing theories of
cloud formation by studying ship tracks, which are clouds created by the
aerosols emitted by tankers and other large ships. (C) Research has revealed that
the sulfur dioxide emitted from the smokestacks of these ships creates sulfate
aerosol particles in the atmosphere, which cause clouds to reflect more sunlight
and carry a greater amount of water. (D) The study will move on towards
explaining some of the climactic mysteries, such as why the Southern
Hemisphere is being affected by global warming much more quickly than the
Northern Hemisphere. (E)

Science Technology Nature

The fish tank hasnt been cleaned in months; its a


smelly, algae-filled tank that is choking the life out
of the few remaining fish. When you finally have
the time to clean it, you lift open the top and the
stench repels you. So you want to leave the job for
another time and go do something else. The stench
of a polluted, algae-filled lake is not different. No one wants to live or play near
one. Everyone wants a clean, crystal-clear lake to reside by or swim in.
In the Upper Midwest, lakes are so important to peoples livelihoods that they
want to halt the process of lakes becoming algae-infested no-go zones before
its too late. Not only do they provide an outlet for recreation and an ideal
setting to connect with nature, but they also draw in the bulk of the tourist trade.
No one wants to see the pristine lake they fish on or swim in become polluted.
But its not easy to monitor water quality, for example, in the Upper Great
Lakes region of Michigan State where there are over 30,000 lakes and, where,
until recently, all measurements were done by hand. Testing 30,000 lakes by
hand is quite simply an impossible job.
Scientists have started using satellite
imagery to solve the problem of being unable to visit every lake. They have
found that satellite imagery is a good tool to monitor certain types of pollution
and levels of algae in the water. While hand-testing might more
comprehensively reveal myriad types of pollutants, satellite imagery does have
the benefit of having every lake included in the pollution report.

Passage

Life Sport Music

By instinct babies try to mimic adults behaviors.


One form of mimicry that can be used as a
teaching and developmental tool by parents is
sign language. Child development experts are
recommending that parents teach their babies
how to sign so that they can communicate with
their babies even before those babies can speak.
Not only is signing thought to be a useful step in the direction toward full oral
communication, the process of signing itself can also help develop and improve
the overall capabilities of the brains of babies.
(A) The process of learning sign language enhances the development of the
babys brain. In the process of learning speech, information such as words is
stored in the brains left hemisphere. (B) In the process of learning sign
language, a baby must first recognize visual stimuli which are processed by the
right hemisphere, then transfer the knowledge or information about that sign to
the left hemisphere of the brain for storage and later reference. (C) Therefore,
the process of signing helps develop the capacity of a babys brain since the
connections between the left and right hemispheres of a babys brain are being
developed by this process.
(D) Recent studies have proven that babies who have learned sign language
have more well-developed language skills. The sign-trained children already
have the ability to remember words visually in conjunction with their real
meaning, so they are less prone to forgetting the meaning of words when they
start to learn to read. (E)

Passage

Science Technology Nature

Between 20,000 and 60,000 bees live in a single hive. The queen bees main
activity is laying eggs, approximately 1,500 eggs a day and it lives for up to 2
years. The drone is the bee whose only job is to mate with her and has a lifespan
of around 24 days they have no stinger. And the worker bees, all sterile
females, usually work to death, collecting pollen and nectar within 40 days in
summer. Worker bees fly up to 14 km (9 miles) to find pollen and nectar, flying
at 24 km/h (15 mph).
Pollen is the main source of protein and vitamins for bees, with the 10 amino
acids they require. Nectar is up to 80% sugar but less than 0.2% in protein, so
nectar is the carbohydrate supply for the hive. Bees place the nectar in
honeycomb cells and then evaporate the water from the nectar by rapid wing
movement. When the amount of water comes down to 20%, this is called honey
and the bees cap off the cells. A mixture of honey and pollen is called bee
bread and is the food for larvae and bees.
A worker bee communicates her floral findings by
performing a dance on the honeycomb. The
orientation of her wing movements and the frequency
of her vibrations indicate the direction and distance of
the flowers. The worker bees defend the hive. The
strong stinger quickly saws into the skin of the
invader and the venom pouch begins to contract
rhythmically to pump venom into the intruder.

Boracay, an island 315 km south of Manila, has consistently


been rated as having the best scuba diving sites in the world.
Not only can experienced divers find challenging and breathtaking dive sites to test themselves, but there are also
numerous easier sites for those with no experience or for
those who wish to snorkel rather than scuba dive.
Experienced divers, who wish to explore top-rated dive sites, can visit such
areas as the Sibuyan Sea, Tablas, Romblon, Semirara and Laurel Island. In
particular Laurel Island has strong undercurrents surrounding it, making it
dangerous for novice divers but challenging for experienced divers. What
happens near Laurel Island is that the strong undercurrents allow skilled divers
to participate in what is known as drift diving, drifting along with the fastmoving undercurrent. Also near Laurel Island, divers are likely to see brightly
colored yellow and orange coral polyps opening up fully so that they can ingest
plankton passing by in the fast moving water. In addition to coral, divers can see
huge sponges in many colors as well as numerous other pelagic fish such as
sharks and barracudas.
Boracay itself has excellent dive sites which offer challenges to divers with less
experience. One great site for divers to explore is Fridays Rock, a great
protrusion of rocks from under the sea. It is home to brilliantly colored coral of
the hard and soft variety. Other fish you are bound to see are darting butterfly
fish, inquisitive wrasses, fast-moving damsels, playful blue tangs, and deadly
stingrays.

The Solar System consists of the Sun and the other celestial objects: the eight
planets, the hundreds of moons, three dwarf planets including Pluto, and
millions of small bodies. In order of their distance from the Sun, the planets are
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
In broad terms, the planets can be divided into four
terrestrial or rocky inner planets including Earth and
four gas giant outer planets. And, with its stunning rings
and dozens of moons, Saturn is the most intriguing
among outer planets. Saturn is similar to Jupiter, Uranus
and Neptune since, like those outer planets, it is composed of two gases: helium
and hydrogen. On the other hand, it is unlike those planets because of its
fascinating and eye-catching rings. Saturns exquisite rings without a doubt are
what distinguish it from all the other planets in the Solar System.
Saturn has the most wide-ranging ring system in our Solar System, stretching
out hundreds of thousands of miles from the planet. The rings are composed of
billions of small specks, which are no bigger than a grain of salt, and billions of
huge pieces, which can be as big as a house, of ice and rock orbiting Saturn at
different speeds. The rocks come from shattered moons, comets and asteroids.
Each tiny or immense piece of ice or rock making up a ring, orbits the planet on
its own path.
The giant planet has a tempestuous atmosphere with winds which can reach
speeds of up to 1,800 km an hour. These hyper-speed winds, combined with
heat rising from within the planets interior, cause the yellow and gold bands
visible in its atmosphere.

Social Culture Business

Its probably too much to say that kids are


natural math geniuses. But researchers feel
that it is safe to say that kids can solve
some math problems even without
knowing how to add or subtract. By using
their instincts to estimate values, kids can
avoid the confusion of exact calculations.
Some psychologists recently tested kids from a variety of backgrounds to make
sure that wealth or level of education didnt affect the results.
In the first study, 20 of 5 to 6-year-olds from wealthy, well-educated families sat
in front of computers that showed a split computer screen which displayed a
boys face on one side and a girls face on the other. Above the girls face was a
bag with the number 21 printed on it. The screen read, She has 21 candies.
Then the picture of the girl changed. Above her was a bag with the number 30
on it. The screen read, She gets 30 more candies. Above the picture of the boy
was a bag marked 34. The screen read, He has 34 candies. Now, kids were
asked Who has more? Nearly three-quarters of kindergartners got the answer
right. If the kids had just guessed who had more candies, only half of them
would have been correct.
For the second experiment, the scientists tested 37 kindergartners from poor and
middle-class families. The kids had to answer questions in a hallway outside
their school classroom, where it was very noisy, to see if more distractions than
in the first study could affect the result. Still, more than 75% of these kids got
the answers right.

Person History

The history of crystal dates back thousands of years to Mesopotamian times. As


we study history we find crystals were in use for other purposes than jewelry.
Crystals make beautiful jewelry because by definition they have an orderly
internal structure that is reflected by light. Furthermore, it is believed that
specific crystals can aid specific physical and mental health problems. All we
have to do is place them near us to get these health benefits. Lastly, there has
always been a strong spiritual connection with crystals which is partly related to
both their beauty and their mental health benefits.
In Boyne Valley in Ireland, there is an
ancient grave, which is older than the
pyramids, built by prehistoric people.
The grave is a kind of solar temple
which has a roof covered in white quartz,
representing the White Goddess. It was
built to allow the sun to shine through on
the Winter Solstice. There has also been archeological evidence that crystals
were used by the Egyptians. Archeologists have concluded that crystals were
extensively used for numerous purposes, including spiritual purposes in North,
Central, and South America. In Asia, quartz has a long tradition of being carved
and admired for its beauty. The heart of the dragon which in Asian tradition is
admired for its wisdom and intelligence is frequently represented by a crystal
ball. Lastly, ancient India also has a rich tradition of using crystals. Indians were
the first to place crystals on the body for healing and meditation purposes. This
is where the idea of using crystals for their energy giving properties originated.

When we program a computer, we are telling it exactly what we want it to do.


And it will do exactly what we want it to do. It is exactly the same with humans
and every day you are programming yourself even if you dont know it.
Whenever you tell yourself something about your expectations and goals, you
are programming your internal, sub-conscious computer. If you look at your
class schedule and say, Math is hard. I hate it,
sure enough you wont do well in math. Youve
programmed your brain to think that its too hard
for you, so you have almost no chance of ever
succeeding at math.
Do you often tell people that you are trying to lose
weight? When you say you are trying that means
that you arent actually doing it. It means that you
are only trying. When you say something like this,
it is inevitable that you will fail.
The word lose is also bound to lead you to failure if you go around telling
others that I am trying to lose weight. The word lose implies that you want
to find whatever has been lost. Do you want to find your lost weight? Not
really. But what is happening is that your subconscious is being programmed to
accept failure.
So what should you say when you have old, worn-out clothes that you no longer
wear? Or what do you do with them? You GET RID OF them. Why not try
doing the same thing with your weight? Say

Passage

Life Sport Music

Christmas comes once a year, but as far as commercial


interests and town centres are concerned, you can safely
say that about two months a year are dedicated to it. With
families chasing their careers all over the country, its often
difficult to get to know the people we share most of our
genes with. All of a sudden Christmas is around the corner.
Its probably one of the few times of the year when people get to meet and catch
up especially now families are scattered all over the country. And it is quite
common that festering ill-will for an aunt, an uncle or whomever
. How is Theresa supposed to react to a smirking
uncle who wonders why a 35-year-old woman isnt married yet? Yes, Christmas
is a time for spread-out families to come together and meet, but its also a
potentially dangerous situation and family members often intensify their
fallouts with each other during this time of year.
And the Christmas gift giving ritual can further complicate existing squabbles.
We share our genes with these people, but still how are we to know what the
perfect gift is? Whatever you buy for your aunt, it can be a potentially sore
point for her. How can we possibly know what color she hates or what kitchen
appliances she uses? This whole process results in what might be considered a
type of writers block. The writer cannot write out of fear that he has nothing
to say and the gift giver cannot buy out of fear that the gift will say I know
nothing about you! So we walk around the city, looking into windows and
resisting the calls of saleswomen. We are blocked up!

Social Culture Business

Any given society by definition must have


rules of behavior which define what is
socially acceptable. While many people
today say that our society is becoming more
anti-social, the issue is still controversial.
On the one hand, when people decry anti-social behavior these days, they are
really saying that the rules of acceptable or social behavior seem to be
changing and that they dont like the new rules. This line of thinking may lead
us to say that young people are no longer as respectful of their elders and thus
they are being anti-social.
On the other hand, it can be argued that anti-social behavior is not increasing,
but it is merely being acknowledged more and more. This may be related to the
fact that people dont put up with things that they used to think were normal.
For instance, in general women no longer stand for certain types of harassment
endured by them for generations.
Anti-social behavior by definition has a broad range. It can be anything from
serious harassment from a close one to nuisances brought on by anti-social
neighbours. When the anti-social behavior of others victimizes us, we must not
blame ourselves but get help. The worst thing any victim can do is to keep his
or her victimization to himself or herself. Alternatively, victims of anti-social
behavior can talk to others. A person from outside can look at the situation with
fresh eyes. Support, encouragement and tips from others can also make a
tremendous difference. And, they can also help you decide whether to take
action or not.

Person History

Furniture designer Bruno Mathsson, who was born in Varnamo, Sweden in


1907, was greatly influenced by the woodworking traditions of his family.
Carpentry, especially cabinet making, was his fathers trade so Mathsson grew
up learning about wood from his father. By watching and helping his father, he
acquired all the precise skills of a master craftsman. Thus, having become
interested in furniture making techniques, he gathered as much information as
he could from all the additional sources, aside from his father, that he knew of.
He learned a lot by borrowing books from libraries, museums and friends who
shared his intense passion for designing.
Mathsson became fascinated by functionalism in furniture
design as a consequence of this self-education in designing. He
wanted to create more functional and modern furniture than the
flat board furniture his father and the rest of his woodworking
family members had been creating for centuries. His furniture
was designed with clean, elegant lines including some chairs
with positional adjustability. Some of the chairs he worked on didnt have
springs or upholstery. His ideas were revolutionary for his time.
Mathsson was so intrigued by what he termed the mechanics of sitting that he
conducted experiments to learn what repeated patterns humans made when they
sat down. He even conducted some experiments in snow to observe the results.
Some of his designs have become classics such as the Bruno Mathsson Pernilla
llbord table. The latter is a table which can be
chair and the Bruno Mathsson Fo
folded and made into several different arrangements. While it was designed in
1935, it would not be out-of-place in many homes today.

Lets make our own weather vane. Start with an


approximately 30 cm long piece of wood. This piece of
wood should be approximately 1 cm in width and 2 cm in
height. Cut a horizontal slit about 1 cm deep on each end
of the piece of wood. In the middle of the piece of wood,
hammer one nail all the way through it. Spin the piece of
wood around the nail until
.
Cut a triangular head and a lozenge-shaped tail for the
weather vane from a piece of aluminum such as a pie
plate. Glue the head into one slit and the tail into the
other slit. Allow time for the glue to dry.
Get a long wooden dowel to put the weather vane onto. A dowel is a long,
round piece of wood like the one that is used for broom handles. Before
hammering the weather vane on top of the dowel, place a metal washer on the
end of the dowel which the weather vane is going to be attached to. Now
hammer the nail in the middle of the weather vane, into the end of the dowel.
Make sure that it moves freely and easily around the nail.
Now you can put your weather vane outside. A good place to put it is on a fence
post using nails. Try to get the vane as high above the fence as you can while
still keeping the dowel steady and secure. The triangular head will always point
in the direction the wind is blowing from. For example, if the head points to the
Southwest, then the wind is blowing from the Southwest. Its as simple as that.
A common mistake is to think that the wind is blowing toward the Southwest.

The purpose of a seed farm near New York City
is not to plant seeds so they will grow into
profitable crops, but to store the seeds so that
they can be used sometime in the distant future.
In order to store these seeds for an
indeterminate time, the seeds must be put into
suspended animation, a sleeplike state in which
the seeds do not age. These seeds are being
stored in the belief that they will be needed to
bring back plant species to areas in which they
have become extinct. The seeds are thus being
stored so that they can become ecological
saviors. When planted in the future, these seeds
could help restore damaged parklands and
forests. Revived plants could also protect
reservoirs of drinking water by filtering out
pollution.
The sad fact is that many plant species are
threatened by various human activities. Forested
areas with their undergrowth of bushes and wild
flowers are being cut down for suburban roads
and houses. Pollution from cars, factories and
cities is poisoning numerous other plants.
Furthermore, plant species native to one

particular area in the world are being threatened


by non-native species, which have been
introduced knowingly or unknowingly by
humans into a new place. For example, a vine
native to Asia called Oriental Bittersweet was
introduced into America knowingly by people
who admired the Oriental Bittersweets colorful
leaves and berries. But it is now threatening to
destroy a similar but not as seemingly beautiful
vine called American Bittersweet. If any of these
threats do result in the extinction of any plant
species, biologists will turn to the Seed Farm
for help in reintroducing that species.

It wasnt until the 1950s that people started
identifying the teenage years as a distinct stage
in life. Before the 1950s, there were only kids
and grownups and no teenagers. People didnt
think a child turning fifteen was significantly
different than one turning ten. As you grew up
you jumped from childhood into adulthood; but
not anymore. These days, the 20 percent of the
worlds population that is experiencing
adolescence is going through something distinct
and separate from childhood, and something of
great importance to adult life. The theory is quite
simple: if a persons teens are scarred by family,
health or financial problems, that person will be
handicapped by these problems in adulthood.
Likewise if a person is blessed with good health
in his or her teens, he or she will have a greater
chance of having a healthy adulthood.
Researchers are trying hard to catalogue the
myriad changes that young people are going
through at this time in their life by conducting
longitudinal studies that collect enormous
amounts of data. One longitudinal study of 3,000
people, the Birth to Twenty Study, began in

1990 in South Africa. The subjects in this study


are now in their late teens and the researchers
believe the data will show strong connections
between teenage years and adulthood. For
example, healthy eating in teenage years is
believed to set a persons physical health in their
adulthood. These and other points, however,
cannot be proven until subjects in the study
reach adulthood. And that is still a long time off.

acne.
But the process of breaking down skin oil before
turning into acne is further complicated by the
fact that Coenzyme A is needed to make
testosterone and estrogen, the sex hormones.
When there is very little Coenzyme A in the body,
it has to choose what to use it for. And since sex
hormones are far more important for the survival
of the species, the body reduces the amount of
Coenzyme A available for metabolizing skin oil,
the skin becomes saturated with oil, and you get
acne.
This imbalance usually starts in puberty and can
continue for decades. Most of this occurs below
the surface of the skin, so no topical system
such as pads or creams can address this
fundamental problem. The key to fighting acne is
to supply our body with the right foods so that it
has enough of the chemical supplied through
food which it uses to make Coenzyme A.
Research has shown that this diet related
treatment is the only way to get 100% remission

A stone block, Cascajal block, with letters and
symbols carved into it, is believed to be the
oldest known piece of writing in the New World.
The block was found in a gravel mine in Mexico.
It is believed to have been carved by people
living in Mexico and Central America before
Columbus discovered the New World. These
people, called the Olmecs, lived in the oldest
known civilization in that part of the world.
The block itself looks extremely weather-beaten
as if it had gone through the ravages of years
and years of rain. The rain has created pits in the
blocks and minerals have formed in some of the
symbols and signs. But this piece of evidence
has been backed up with more concrete
chemical testings, which have proven without a
doubt that the block is about 3,000 years old.
Scholars are studying the block, but no one
really knows what it says. Linguists think the
carvings on this block are part of a written
language, even though very different symbols
are used. The block holds a total of 62 symbols,
some of which resemble plants such as corn, or
animals such as insects and fish. Many of the
symbols are more abstract boxes or blobs.
Scholars have also noted that some of the
symbols and signs seem like other images found
on artifacts from the Olmec civilization. Also of
note is that the writing on the blocks seems to
be composed of several sentences. Essentially
the discovery of the block means that their
society had progressed to the point whereby
they were keeping records.

Overwhelmed by problems and lacking sufficient
resources, evidence-based practices have
recently increased in popularity as a way to use
available resources as efficiently as possible. A
school is one governmental institution which has
these characteristics. Schools have a myriad of
problems and often lack sufficient resources to
tackle all of their problems. However, as
evidence shows that school-based mental
health (SBMH) services are effective at helping
troubled teenagers feel better about themselves
and do better at school, more and more schools
are adopting mental health programs.
There is strong evidence that SBMH services
work. After one year in an initial test program,
the troubled students who participated in it
showed marked improvements in their behavior
at school and in their school work. First of all,
these students improved school attendance
records by 15%. Moreover, incidences in which
the schools had to discipline these kids
decreased by 50% as did incidences of these
youths using violence at school. As a result,
suspensions of these former troubled kids by
the school decreased by a whopping 54%.
These statistics clearly showed that the
students self-esteem as well as their attitudes
towards their teachers, their school and their
school work had significantly improved. Most
youth self-reported significantly improved
commitment to school and the parents of these
children concurred. Their childrens mental
health and school work were both much better.
With the reporting of the results of the initial
study, more and more schools have been
adopting SBMH service programs. The evidence
from these other programs backs up the
conclusions made from the initial study.

Many of us have been taught that when water is
heated, it evaporates into the air, rising up into
the sky and eventually forming clouds. It was a
simple concept involving just water, the Sun,
and the sky. This idea was accepted as a basic
truth which we never questioned, as we never
doubt whether the Earth orbits around the Sun
or not. But as it turns out, weve all been misled.
The whole process of cloud formation depends
on the presence of aerosols, microscopic
particles, which are needed for the process of
condensation to take place in the atmosphere.
In short, water vapor will not turn into clouds,
mist or fog without aerosols.
It is hard to test theories of cloud formation
since some variables cannot be evenly
controlled. For instance, there are different
pollutants in the atmosphere above different
urban areas. Since the atmosphere above the
worlds oceans is more stable than that above
most cities, scientists have been testing theories
of cloud formation by studying ship tracks,
which are clouds created by the aerosols
emitted by tankers and other large ships.
Research has revealed that the sulfur dioxide
emitted from the smokestacks of these ships
creates sulfate aerosol particles in the
atmosphere, which cause clouds to reflect more
sunlight and carry a greater amount of water.
This is proof that humans have been creating and
modifying clouds for generations through the
burning of fossil fuels. The study will move on
towards explaining some of the climactic
mysteries, such as why the Southern Hemisphere
is being affected by global warming much more
quickly than the Northern Hemisphere.

The fish tank hasnt been cleaned in months; its


a smelly, algae-filled tank that is choking the life
out of the few remaining fish. When you finally
have the time to clean it, you lift open the top
and the stench repels you. So you want to leave
the job for another time and go do something
else. The stench of a polluted, algae-filled lake is
not different. No one wants to live or play near
one. Everyone wants a clean, crystal-clear lake
to reside by or swim in.
In the Upper Midwest, lakes are so important to
peoples livelihoods that they want to halt the
process of lakes becoming algae-infested no-go
zones before its too late. Not only do they
provide an outlet for recreation and an ideal
setting to connect with nature, but they also
draw in the bulk of the tourist trade. No one
wants to see the pristine lake they fish on or
swim in become polluted. But its not easy to
monitor water quality, for example, in the Upper
Great Lakes region of Michigan State where
there are over 30,000 lakes and, where, until
recently, all measurements were done by hand.
Testing 30,000 lakes by hand is quite simply an
impossible job.
The situation, however, has recently improved a
lot. Scientists have started using satellite
imagery to solve the problem of being unable to
visit every lake. They have found that satellite
imagery is a good tool to monitor certain types
of pollution and levels of algae in the water.
While hand-testing might more comprehensively
reveal myriad types of pollutants, satellite
imagery does have the benefit of having every
lake included in the pollution report.

One form of mimicry that can be used as a
teaching and developmental tool by parents is
sign language. Child development experts are
recommending that parents teach their babies
how to sign so that they can communicate with
their babies even before those babies can
speak. Not only is signing thought to be a useful
step in the direction toward full oral
communication, the process of signing itself can
also help develop and improve the overall
capabilities of the brains of babies.

The process of learning sign language enhances


the development of the babys brain. In the
process of learning speech, information such as
words is stored in the brains left hemisphere. In
the process of learning sign language, a baby
must first recognize visual stimuli which are
processed by the right hemisphere, then transfer
the knowledge or information about that sign to
the left hemisphere of the brain for storage and
later reference. Therefore, the process of signing
helps develop the capacity of a babys brain
since the connections between the left and right
hemispheres of a babys brain are being
developed by this process.
The stronger and larger these connections are
made when they are little, the better they will be
able to process information between the two
hemispheres as they grow. Recent studies have
proven that babies who have learned sign
language have more well-developed language
skills. The sign-trained children already have the
ability to remember words visually in conjunction

Between 20,000 and 60,000 bees live in a single
hive. The queen bees main activity is laying
eggs, approximately 1,500 eggs a day and it
lives for up to 2 years. The drone is the bee
whose only job is to mate with her and has a
lifespan of around 24 days they have no
stinger. And the worker bees, all sterile females,
usually work to death, collecting pollen and
nectar within 40 days in summer. Worker bees
fly up to 14 km (9 miles) to find pollen and
nectar, flying at 24 km/h (15 mph).
Pollen is the main source of protein and vitamins
for bees, with the 10 amino acids they require.
Nectar is up to 80% sugar but less than 0.2% in
protein, so nectar is the carbohydrate supply for
the hive. Bees place the nectar in honeycomb
cells and then evaporate the water from the
nectar by rapid wing movement. When the
amount of water comes down to 20%, this is
called honey and the bees cap off the cells. A
mixture of honey and pollen is called bee
bread and is the food for larvae and bees.
A worker bee communicates her floral findings
by performing a dance on the honeycomb. The
orientation of her wing movements and the
frequency of her vibrations indicate the direction
and distance of the flowers. The worker bees
defend the hive. The strong stinger quickly saws
into the skin of the invader and the venom
pouch begins to contract rhythmically to pump
venom into the intruder.

Boracay, an island 315 km south of Manila, has
consistently been rated as having the best
scuba diving sites in the world. Not only can
experienced divers find challenging and breathtaking dive sites to test themselves, but there
are also numerous easier sites for those with no
experience or for those who wish to snorkel
rather than scuba dive.
Experienced divers, who wish to explore toprated dive sites, can visit such areas as the
Sibuyan Sea, Tablas, Romblon, Semirara and
Laurel Island. In particular Laurel Island has
strong undercurrents surrounding it, making it
dangerous for novice divers but challenging for
experienced divers. What happens near Laurel
Island is that the strong undercurrents allow
skilled divers to participate in what is known as
drift diving, drifting along with the fast-moving
undercurrent. Also near Laurel Island, divers are
likely to see brightly colored yellow and orange
coral polyps opening up fully so that they can
ingest plankton passing by in the fast moving
water. In addition to coral, divers can see huge
sponges in many colors as well as numerous
other pelagic fish such as sharks and
barracudas.
Boracay itself has excellent dive sites which
offer challenges to divers with less experience.
One great site for divers to explore is Fridays
Rock, a great protrusion of rocks from under the
sea. It is home to brilliantly colored coral of the
hard and soft variety. Other fish you are bound
to see are darting butterfly fish, inquisitive
wrasses, fast-moving damsels, playful blue
tangs, and deadly stingrays.

The Solar System consists of the Sun and the
other celestial objects: the eight planets, the
hundreds of moons, three dwarf planets
including Pluto, and millions of small bodies. In
order of their distance from the Sun, the planets
are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus, and Neptune.
In broad terms, the planets can be divided into
four terrestrial or rocky inner planets including
Earth and four gas giant outer planets. And, with
its stunning rings and dozens of moons, Saturn
is the most intriguing among outer planets.
Saturn is similar to Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune
since, like those outer planets, it is composed of
two gases: helium and hydrogen. On the other
hand, it is unlike those planets because of its
fascinating and eye-catching rings. Saturns
exquisite rings without a doubt are what
distinguish it from all the other planets in the
Solar System.
Saturn has the most wide-ranging ring system in
our Solar System, stretching out hundreds of
thousands of miles from the planet. The rings
are composed of billions of small specks, which
are no bigger than a grain of salt, and billions of
huge pieces, which can be as big as a house, of
ice and rock orbiting Saturn at different speeds.
The rocks come from shattered moons, comets
and asteroids. Each tiny or immense piece of ice
or rock making up a ring, orbits the planet on its
own path.
The giant planet has a tempestuous atmosphere
with winds which can reach speeds of up to
1,800 km an hour. These hyper-speed winds,
combined with heat rising from within the
planets interior, cause the yellow and gold
bands visible in its atmosphere.

kindergartners got the answer right. If the kids
had just guessed who had more candies, only
half of them would have been correct.
For the second experiment, the scientists tested
37 kindergartners from poor and middle-class

The history of crystal dates back thousands of
years to Mesopotamian times. As we study
history we find crystals were in use for other
purposes than jewelry. Crystals make beautiful
jewelry because by definition they have an
orderly internal structure that is reflected by
light. Furthermore, it is believed that specific
crystals can aid specific physical and mental
health problems. All we have to do is place them
near us to get these health benefits. Lastly, there
has always been a strong spiritual connection
with crystals which is partly related to both their
beauty and their mental health benefits.
In Boyne Valley in Ireland, there is an ancient
grave, which is older than the pyramids, built by
prehistoric people. The grave is a kind of solar
temple which has a roof covered in white quartz,
representing the White Goddess. It was built to
allow the sun to shine through on the Winter
Solstice. There has also been archeological
evidence that crystals were used by the
Egyptians. Archeologists have concluded that
crystals were extensively used for numerous
purposes, including spiritual purposes in North,
Central, and South America. In Asia, quartz has
a long tradition of being carved and admired for
its beauty. The heart of the dragon which in
Asian tradition is admired for its wisdom and
intelligence is frequently represented by a
crystal ball. Lastly, ancient India also has a rich
tradition of using crystals. Indians were the first
to place crystals on the body for healing and
meditation purposes. This is where the idea of
using crystals for their energy giving properties
originated.

programming yourself even if you dont know it.


Whenever you tell yourself something about
your expectations and goals, you are
programming your internal, sub-conscious
computer. If you look at your class schedule and
say, Math is hard. I hate it, sure enough you
wont do well in math. Youve programmed your
brain to think that its too hard for you, so you
have almost no chance of ever succeeding at
math.
Do you often tell people that you are trying to
lose weight? When you say you are trying that
means that you arent actually doing it. It means
that you are only trying. When you say
something like this, it is inevitable that you will
fail.
The word lose is also bound to lead you to
failure if you go around telling others that I am
trying to lose weight. The word lose implies
that you want to find whatever has been lost. Do
you want to find your lost weight? Not really. But
what is happening is that your subconscious is
being programmed to accept failure.
So what should you say when you have old,
worn-out clothes that you no longer wear? Or
what do you do with them? You GET RID OF
them. Why not try doing the same thing with
your weight? Say I will get rid of my weight.

Christmas comes once a year, but as far as
commercial interests and town centres are
concerned, you can safely say that about two
months a year are dedicated to it. With families
chasing their careers all over the country, its
often difficult to get to know the people we
share most of our genes with. All of a sudden
Christmas is around the corner.
Its probably one of the few times of the year
when people get to meet and catch up
especially now families are scattered all over the
country. And it is quite common that festering illwill for an aunt, an uncle or whomever can come
to the surface. How is Theresa supposed to
react to a smirking uncle who wonders why a
35-year-old woman isnt married yet? Yes,
Christmas is a time for spread-out families to
come together and meet, but its also a
potentially dangerous situation and family
members often intensify their fallouts with each
other during this time of year.
And the Christmas gift giving ritual can further
complicate existing squabbles. We share our
genes with these people, but still how are we to
know what the perfect gift is? Whatever you buy
for your aunt, it can be a potentially sore point
for her. How can we possibly know what color
she hates or what kitchen appliances she uses?
This whole process results in what might be
considered a type of writers block. The writer
cannot write out of fear that he has nothing to
say and the gift giver cannot buy out of fear that
the gift will say I know nothing about you! So
we walk around the city, looking into windows
and resisting the calls of saleswomen. We are
blocked up!

Any given society by definition must have rules
of behavior which define what is socially
acceptable. While many people today say that
our society is becoming more anti-social, the
issue is still controversial.
On the one hand, when people decry anti-social
behavior these days, they are really saying that
the rules of acceptable or social behavior seem
to be changing and that they dont like the new
rules. This line of thinking may lead us to say
that young people are no longer as respectful of
their elders and thus they are being anti-social.
On the other hand, it can be argued that antisocial behavior is not increasing, but it is merely

being acknowledged more and more. This may


be related to the fact that people dont put up
with things that they used to think were normal.
For instance, in general women no longer stand
for certain types of harassment endured by them
for generations.
Anti-social behavior by definition has a broad
range. It can be anything from serious
harassment from a close one to nuisances
brought on by anti-social neighbours. When the
anti-social behavior of others victimizes us, we
must not blame ourselves but get help. The
worst thing any victim can do is to keep his or
her victimization to himself or herself.
Alternatively, victims of anti-social behavior can
talk to others. A person from outside can look at
the situation with fresh eyes. Support,
encouragement and tips from others can also
make a tremendous difference. And, they can
also help you decide whether to take action or
not.

which are in your subconscious mind. To do that
you must realize that you are not perfect and
neither is anyone else. If you think your boss

Stressed by unsympathetic bosses and routine

families and our jobs, we listen to the news of
the woes of environmental destruction, financial
ruin and murderous criminal activity. Just when
we need to be emotionally uplifted, we get
weighted down with more worries.
You wouldnt want these things to weigh you
down any longer. The key to maintaining your
sanity throughout the day is to minimize the
news the media throws at you. Yes, the media is
all-pervasive, creeping in wherever you are,
entering your space when you turn on your
computer, your TV, your radio, or when you

Mathsson became fascinated by functionalism


in furniture design as a consequence of this selfeducation in designing. He wanted to create
more functional and modern furniture than the
flat board furniture his father and the rest of his
woodworking family members had been creating
for centuries. His furniture was designed with
clean, elegant lines including some chairs with
positional adjustability. Some of the chairs he
worked on didnt have springs or upholstery. His
ideas were revolutionary for his time.
Mathsson was so intrigued by what he termed
the mechanics of sitting that he conducted
experiments to learn what repeated patterns
humans made when they sat down. He even
conducted some experiments in snow to
observe the results. Some of his designs have
become classics such as the Bruno Mathsson
Pernilla chair and the Bruno Mathsson Follbord
table. The latter is a table which can be folded
and made into several different arrangements.
While it was designed in 1935, it would not be
out-of-place in many homes today.

Bruno Mathsson 1907

| |
Furniture designer Bruno Mathsson, who was
born in Varnamo, Sweden in 1907, was greatly
influenced by the woodworking traditions of his
family. Carpentry, especially cabinet making,
was his fathers trade so Mathsson grew up
learning about wood from his father. By
watching and helping his father, he acquired all
the precise skills of a master craftsman. Thus,
having become interested in furniture making
techniques, he gathered as much information as
he could from all the additional sources, aside
from his father, that he knew of. He learned a lot
by borrowing books from libraries, museums
and friends who shared his intense passion for
designing.

Lets make our own weather vane. Start with an
approximately 30 cm long piece of wood. This
piece of wood should be approximately 1 cm in
width and 2 cm in height. Cut a horizontal slit
about 1 cm deep on each end of the piece of
wood. In the middle of the piece of wood,
hammer one nail all the way through it. Spin the
piece of wood around the nail until the stick
turns easily around the nail.
Cut a triangular head and a lozenge-shaped tail
for the weather vane from a piece of aluminum
such as a pie plate. Glue the head into one slit
and the tail into the other slit. Allow time for the
glue to dry.
Get a long wooden dowel to put the weather
vane onto. A dowel is a long, round piece of
wood like the one that is used for broom
handles. Before hammering the weather vane on
top of the dowel, place a metal washer on the
end of the dowel which the weather vane is
going to be attached to. Now hammer the nail in
the middle of the weather vane, into the end of
the dowel. Make sure that it moves freely and
easily around the nail.

Now you can put your weather vane outside. A


good place to put it is on a fence post using
nails. Try to get the vane as high above the
fence as you can while still keeping the dowel
steady and secure. The triangular head will
always point in the direction the wind is blowing
from. For example, if the head points to the
Southwest, then the wind is blowing from the
Southwest. Its as simple as that. A common
mistake is to think that the wind is blowing
toward the Southwest.
