Jazzing up my Picture Frames

2011-03-11T21:53:00.000-08:00

Over the holidays in that time between Christmas and New year's I decided to do something that I'd been putting off for a long time, I redecorated our living room. It could have used a style facelift a few years ago but I kept putting it off. But I did enjoy doing all of that, I get bored pretty easily and it gave me something to do during that time I was off work for Christmas.

But I didn't but everything new. I looked online for ideas about how to change up some of the stuff that we had already in an effort to save a little money. While I was gathering some ideas from design blogs online, I ran across the site http://get.wildblue.com/ and after I read through it I ordered a home internet package from it.

One of those ideas that I got was to make over each picture frame. All of mine were actually just plain, cheap wooden ones anyway, so I just spray painted them different colors and the effect was really great.

County fair Classics

2010-10-20T05:19:00.000-07:00

When you live in such a small town, the county fair is a much bigger deal to you than if you lived in a city. I'm sure that there are tons of people who have never stepped foot on fair grounds just because they have a lot more exciting things to do. But that's not the case for me.

Even though I'm a little bit older now, I still get really excited when i see the fair grounds that I drive by every day to work start to fill up and come alive. But now it just seems like it costs so much to ride a lot of those rides when I looked up the prices for ride tickets with my direct tv internet bundle the other day. But that's okay anyway. Now I don't really care about riding all the rides. Instead, I like to chow down on some great tasting food that's not so good for you. Voice with this exclusive home bundle DirectTV and clear.

Some of the kinds of food that I absolutely have to have every single year is funnel cakes and hot dogs. They just seem like the perfect fair food and there's no where else where it seems as or even more appropriate to eat it.

Recycling

2010-09-04T22:57:00.000-07:00

Waste disposal is one of the serious problems of our country today. Tons of garbage are thrown around everywhere. The government, for its part, seeks for the best solution to the problems of pollution due to indiscriminate garbage disposal, made worse by other factors in the environment.

Recycling is one of the solutions to the problem of indiscriminate garbage disposal. Creativity and resourcefulness is needed to convert throwaway materials into useful articles.

Recycling can lead to a business enterprise, if pursued well enough. Utilizing still useful objects and other materials functional and salable household items such as throw pillow, flowers, placemats, stuffed toys and decorative items can be produced for home use and the market.

This chapter will help students use their creativity and resourcefulness in converting trash into useful and decorative articles for use at home and in school and for sale to interested parties.

Corrective Nose Make-up

For Short Flat Nose-Flat nose bridge, small nostrils and flat nose tip. Since the nose is a bit short and quite unnoticeable, a highlighter or a light foundation is needed at the center of the nose. starting from the bridge and right down to the tip for an illusion or height and width. a darker shade of foundation or better, the eyeshadow should start at the inner corner of the eyes to create an illusion of depth in this part, thus making the bridge of the nose appear high or elevated. A beige shade of make-up serves the purpose.

How to Handle conflicts in Marriage

2010-08-16T04:01:00.000-07:00

Basically, conflicts in marriage cannot be avoided due to differences in the personality of the husband and wife. Each of them exhibits certain traits and types of behaviors which are a product of many factors and which cannot easily be changed. The common causes of conflicts between husband and wife are the following:

1. Difference of personality- an individual has his own habits, values, attitudes, emotional responses, moods and behaviors which take time to change.

2. Sexual relationship- commonly the source of frustration and anger between husband and wife. Husbands are more demanding and aggressive in their sexual desires than the wife.

3. In-laws and other relatives- meddling of in-laws in the affairs of married couple causes conflict within the family. Relatives leaving with the couple is also a common cause of conflict.

4. Financial matters- the manner of spending, the adequacy to meet the needs of the family are source of problems.

5. Lack of communication- lack of openness of both husband and wife usually causes conflict. If only both will realize that all conflicts can be resolved through exchange of ideas and dialogues done in a civilized way,then conflicts can be minimized.

6. Authority and Responsibility- when both asserts authority over the family conflicts arise. When responsibilities are neglected problems crop out.

For marriage to last, misunderstanding and conflicts must be resolved right away and should not be allowed to develop and become a grave problem. Common methods of resolving conflicts are the following:

1. Compromise- Since both have their own individuality and personality, meeting halfway in their adjustment will lead to the solution of most of marital problems.

2. Accommodation- acceptance of the strengths and weaknesses of the other partner would surely prevent conflicts and promote cooperation to both husband and wife.

3. Communication and dialogue - the couple should realize that all disputes on this earth can be settled through dialogue and communication especially if done in a civilized way.

Building Up Vocabulary in many Activities

2010-08-11T02:20:00.000-07:00

Word Building

The study of words is very interesting. On the knowledge of how words are formed depends much of the ability to use the correct words needed at a given time. A knowledge of the origin of words will greatly help the student of English learn the meaning of a big of words.

A word can be separated into its elements--root or stem, suffix and prefix. The root or stem is the basis out of which words are formed. The prefix is the part placed before a root word to form a new word. The suffix is the part added after the stem to form a new word.

Knowing the meaning of a root word gives one the clue to the meaning of a number of words. Take the root word graph derived from the Greek verb Graphein which means to write. From it several words have stemmed like photograph, autograph, biography, geography, paragraph, telegraph, phonograph.

Try defining each word by learning the meaning of the following prefixes. Photo-- produced by action for light, Auto--self, Bio--life, Geo--earth, Para--closely related or alongside, Tele--far, Phono--sound, voice, tone.

Help Your Shy Child Make Friends

2010-08-04T19:13:00.000-07:00

Shyness is one of the major factors that prevent children from seeking companionship among their peers. While it can range from silence and uneasiness around other people to completely avoiding contact, shyness, according to specialists, is an issue that is more genetic than social. Kagan's research shows that shy children ''have highly reactive nervous system, resulting in a lower threshold for stimulation or arousal. When faced h new people or situations, they become easily stressed or frightened. Children who are innately shy often have a close relative who is shy as well.''

In spite of the strong genetic pull toward bashfulness, stresses the important role a child's parents and environment play ih his balanced growth and development. With awareness, guidance, and support, you can help your child adjust to new situations and slowly come out of his shell when he is ready and willing. Keep in mind that the steps out of shyness and into friendship involve the use of different skills that each take different lengths of time to develop.

Use Dictionary when Studying

2010-07-31T05:34:00.000-07:00

Using dictionary when studying is very important to look up key or important words that we do not know or understand. You cannot get the meaning of a sentence or a paragraph unless you understand the key or important words in it.

Suit your reading rate to your purpose in reading.

Learn to skim a selection to find items of information that you want. Remember to read more slowly and carefully if you are looking for important or supporting details.

Acquiring More Friends and making New Acquaintance

2010-07-25T02:02:00.000-07:00

They may come to like each other and finally become friends. Good friends are desirable, for friendships help make life richer and happier. High school life offers many opportunities for making friends. Try to take advantage of these opportunities.

Care and Treatment of the Newborn Baby

2010-07-23T04:38:00.000-07:00

A. Skin Care - careful attention must be given to the delicate skin of the baby. At birth it is covered with sebaceous material. To remove, rub a little oil and wipe gently and quickly as possible. Follow with warm bath.

B. Care of the Navel - After birth the baby's navel or umbilical cord should be covered by a sterile dressing and held in dressing and held in place by a binder. This is necessary to avoid infection. The cord dries up eventually and therefore should be left alone until it drops off. Before it is healed, give the baby only sponge bath.

C. Clothing - Baby's clothing includes diapers, infant shirts, loose clothing for night wear, binders, mittens, socks and small towels. Some important things to consider in selecting baby's garments include the following: soft, comfortable, easy to wash and most of all easy to change. They must be styled in such a way that baby can move freely in it.

D. Feeding - To breast-feed, bottled-feed or mix-feed are the three choices which a mother is confronted with in feeding the baby. Breast-feeding is the most economical, the safest, easy available and nutritious laden method. However, circumstances like when the mother is ill especially with infectious disease and those with inverted nipples or without adequate milk supply forces a mother to bottle-feed or mix-feed the baby. Whichever, the important thing to remember is that the baby must be fed at regular intervals and care must be taken so that all supplies, materials and equipment used are clean and sanitary.

E. Bathing - The steps in bathing a newborn are the following:

1. First, prepare all things needed, preferably in a table.

2. Check if the room is free from drafts and undress the baby as he/she lay on the table and cover with a towel.

3. Clean each with separate cotton balls dipped in lukewarm water the eyes, nose and ears.

4. Clean face with soft washcloth.

5. Shampoo or soap wit soap cloth the head, using circular motion, then the body from the neck down.

6. Raise while supporting the head firmly. Dry gentle with a towel.

F. Immunization - Due to vulnerability of infants to diseases like whooping cough, diptheria, tetanus, poliomyelitis, tuberculosis, measles and others, they should be given immunization as a preventive measure. Health centers usually give immunization to children, or doctors may be resulted as to what and when immunization is appropriate.

1. Knowledge-means that we should know the person we love.
2. Respect-if we love a person we should take of what their own values, thoughts and feelings.
3. Care- this is the element which can be shown through words and actions. To care for, is to be concerned for the welfare and 0f the things and situations that will give joy and satisfaction.
4. Responsibility- we should aware of their needs. Because this is the true sense of responsibility that means more than duty or obligation.

SOIL PROBLEMS

2010-05-28T19:25:00.000-07:00

In different parts of the world, problems with soil differ. Soil may be too salty, acidic or basic, and may need to be treated in order to grow a successful crop. It may be too exposed to the weather that its nutrients get carried away.

SOIL CONSERVATION

2010-05-28T19:12:00.000-07:00

To the farmer, SOIL CONSERVATION connotes people's deliberate efforts to use land wisely by means of proper farming techniques in order to have good harvest from year to year.

WINDS

2010-05-28T19:03:00.000-07:00

The tern WIND is commonly defined as air in motion. As mentioned earlier, winds originate whenever there is uneven distribution of tempeture and pressure in the atmosphere. When two adjoining masses of air differ in temperature, the warmer mass, being less dense, rises thus causing a decrease in pressure. The cooler and denser mass of air flows toward the low pressure area and replaces the rising air.

Jesus Dies on the Cross

2010-05-27T20:35:00.000-07:00

saiIt was now around midday, and darkness came over the whole land until midafternoon with an eclipse of the sun. Jesus said,"I am thirsty." They stick a sponge soaked in wine on some hyssop and it to his lips. When Jesus took the wine, He said,"Now it is finished,'' He uttered a loud cry and said, "Father, into Your hands, I commend My spirit." After He said this, He died.

Called To Be Partners

2010-05-27T20:11:00.000-07:00

The Lord God said,"It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a suitable partner for him."

So the Lord formed out of the ground various wild animals and various birds of the air, and He brought them to the man to see what he could call them... the man give names to all.. but none proved to be a partner for him.

So the Lord God cast a deep sleep on the man, and while he was asleep, He took out one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. The Lord God then built up into a woman the ribs that He had take from the man. When He brought her to the man, the man said:

"This one, at last, is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh;

This one shall be called' woman' for out of' her man' this one has been taken."

That is why a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife, and the two of them become one body.

SAINT MARTIN DE PORRES

At an early age,Saint Martin learned to clean and bandage wounds, set broken bones and use a variety of medicinal herbs and liquids. Saint Martin was a skillful healer, good- natured, industrious and charitable. He became know throughout the town of Lima, peru.

But he was not satisfied. He wanted to wear a religious habit and make people aware that he working in the name of Jesus.

He entered the convent of the Most Holy Rosary where the Dominican Brother soon discovered that he was extraordinary. The love of God burned tremendously in his soul. His compassion for the suffering led him to help and care for the sick, the poor and the suffering, He did many incredible things that people believed were miracles.,br />
He died on November 3, 1639. if miracles were perform end during his lifetime, there were even more after his death. Even when he was not yet canonized, he was made the Pietro of spacial justice.

Metals

2010-05-25T02:57:00.000-07:00

A solid conductive metal contains mobile, or free electrons, originating in the conduction electrons. These electrons are bound to the metal lattice but no longer to any individual atom. Even with no external electric field applied, these electrons move about randomly due to thermal energy but, on average, there is zero net current within the metal. Given a plane through which the wire passes, the number of electrons moving from one side to the other in any period of time is on average equal to the number passing in the opposite direction. As George Gamow put in his science-popularizing book, One, Two, Three...Infinity (1947), "The metallic substances differ from all other materials by the fact that the outer shells of their atoms are bound rather loosely, and often let one of their electrons go free. Thus the interior of a metal is filled up with a large number of unattached electrons that travel aimlessly around like a crowd of displaced persons. When a metal wire is subjected to electric force applied on its opposite ends, these free electrons rush in the direction of the force, thus forming what we call an electric current."
A typical wire for electrical conduction is the stranded copper wire.

When a metal wire is connected across the two terminals of a DC voltage source such as a battery, the source places an electric field across the conductor. The moment contact is made, the free electrons of the conductor are forced to drift toward the positive terminal under the influence of this field. The free electrons are therefore the current carrier in a typical solid conductor. For an electric current of 1 ampere, 1 coulomb of electric charge (which consists of about 6.242 × 1018 elementary charges) drifts every second through any plane through which the conductor passes.

For a steady flow, the current I in amperes can be calculated with the following equation:

I = {Q \over t} \, ,

where Q is the electric charge in coulombs transferred, and t is the time in seconds

More generally, electric current can be represented as the time rate of change of charge, or

I = \frac{dQ}{dt} \, .

Drift speed

2010-05-25T02:54:00.000-07:00

The mobile charged particles within a conductor move constantly in random directions, like the particles of a gas. In order for there to be a net flow of charge, the particles must also move together with an average drift rate. Electrons are the charge carriers in metals and they follow an erratic path, bouncing from atom to atom, but generally drifting in the direction of the electric field. The speed at which they drift can be calculated from the equation:

I=nAvQ \, ,

where

I is the electric current
n is number of charged particles per unit volume (or charge carrier density)
A is the cross-sectional area of the conductor
v is the drift velocity, and
Q is the charge on each particle.

Electric currents in solids typically flow very slowly. For example, in a copper wire of cross-section 0.5 mm2, carrying a current of 5 A, the drift velocity of the electrons is of the order of a millimetre per second. To take a different example, in the near-vacuum inside a cathode ray tube, the electrons travel in near-straight lines at about a tenth of the speed of light.

Any accelerating electric charge, and therefore any changing electric current, gives rise to an electromagnetic wave that propagates at very high speed outside the surface of the conductor. This speed is usually a significant fraction of the speed of light, as can be deduced from Maxwell's Equations, and is therefore many times faster than the drift velocity of the electrons. For example, in AC power lines, the waves of electromagnetic energy propagate through the space between the wires, moving from a source to a distant load, even though the electrons in the wires only move back and forth over a tiny distance.

The ratio of the speed of the electromagnetic wave to the speed of light in free space is called the velocity factor, and depends on the electromagnetic properties of the conductor and the insulating materials surrounding it, and on their shape and size.

The nature of these three velocities can be illustrated by an analogy with the three similar velocities associated with gases. The low drift velocity of charge carriers is analogous to air motion; in other words, winds. The high speed of electromagnetic waves is roughly analogous to the speed of sound in a gas; while the random motion of charges is analogous to heat - the thermal velocity of randomly vibrating gas particles.

Magnetism

2010-05-25T02:48:00.000-07:00

The term magnetism is used to describe how materials respond on the microscopic level to an applied magnetic field; to categorize the magnetic phase of a material. For example, the most well known form of magnetism is paramagnetism such that some ferromagnetic materials produce their own persistent magnetic field. However, all materials are influenced to greater or lesser degree by the presence of a magnetic field. Some are attracted to a magnetic field (paramagnetism); others are repulsed by a magnetic field (magnetism); others have a much more complex relationship with an applied magnetic field. Substances that are negligibly affected by magnetic fields are known as non-magnetic substances. They include copper, aluminium, water, gases, and plastic.

The magnetic state (or phase) of a material depends on temperature (and other variables such as pressure and applied magnetic field) so that a material may exhibit more than one form of magnetism depending on its temperature, etc.

Gravitation keeps the planets in orbit around the Sun. (Not to scale)

Gravitation, or gravity, is one of the four fundamental interactions of nature, along with strong interaction, electromagnetic force and weak interaction. It is the means by which objects with mass attract one another.[1] In everyday life, gravitation is most familiar as the agent that lends weight to objects with mass and causes them to fall to the ground when dropped. Gravitation causes dispersed matter to coalesce, thus accounting for the existence of the Earth, the Sun, and most of the macroscopic objects in the universe. It is responsible for keeping the Earth and the other planets in their orbits around the Sun; for keeping the Moon in its orbit around the Earth; for the formation of tides; for convection, by which fluid flow occurs under the influence of a density gradient and gravity; for heating the interiors of forming stars and planets to very high temperatures; and for various other phenomena observed on Earth.

Modern physics describes gravitation using the general theory of relativity, in which gravitation is a consequence of the curvature of space time which governs the motion of inertial objects. The simpler Newton's law of universal gravitation provides an accurate approximation for most calculations.

Simple machine

2010-05-25T02:40:00.000-07:00

This article is about the concept in physics. For the Internet forum software, see Simple Machines Forum.

Table of simple mechanisms, from Chambers' Cyclopedia, 1728.^[1] Simple machines provide a "vocabulary" for understanding more complex machines.

A simple machine is a mechanical device that changes the direction or magnitude of a force.^[2] In general, they can be defined as the simplest mechanisms that use mechanical advantage (also called leverage) to multiply force.^[3] A simple machine uses a single applied force to do work against a single load force. Ignoring friction losses, the work done on the load is equal to the work done by the applied force. They can be used to increase the amount of the output force, at the cost of a proportional decrease in the distance moved by the load. The ratio of the output to the input force is called the mechanical advantage.

Usually the term refers to the six classical simple machines which were defined by Renaissance scientists:^[4]

They are the elementary "building blocks" of which all complicated machines are composed.^[3]^[5] For example, wheels, levers, and pulleys are all used in the mechanism of a bicycle.

Simple machines fall into two classes; those dependent on the vector resolution of forces (inclined plane, wedge, screw) and those in which there is an equilibrium of torques (lever, pulley, wheel).

[hide]

[edit] History

The idea of a "simple machine" originated with the Greek philosopher Archimedes around the 3rd century BC, who studied the "Archimedes" simple machines: lever, pulley, and screw.^[3] He discovered the principle of mechanical advantage in the lever.^[6] His understanding was limited to the static balance of forces and did not include the trade-off between force and distance moved. Heron of Alexandria (ca. 10–75 AD) in his work Mechanics lists five mechanisms with which a load can be set in motion: The winch, lever, pulley, wedge, and screw.^[7] During the Renaissance the classic five simple machines (excluding the wedge) began to be studied as a group. The complete dynamic theory of simple machines was worked out by Italian scientist Galileo Galileo in 1600 in Le Mecca niche ("On Mechanics"). He was the first to understand that simple machines do not create energy, only transform it.^[8]

[edit] Alternate definitions

Any list of simple machines is somewhat arbitrary; the central idea is that every mechanism that manipulates force should be able to be understood as a combination of devices on the list. Some variations that have been proposed to the classical list of six simple machines:

Some say there are only five simple machines, arguing that the wedge is a moving inclined plane.^[3]
Others further simplify the list to four saying that the screw is a helical inclined plane.^[9] This position is less accepted because a screw converts a rotational force (torque) to a linear force.
Some go even further to insist that only two simple machines exist, as a pulley and wheel and axle can be viewed as unique forms of levers, leaving only the lever and the inclined plane.^[10]^[11]^[12]^[13]
Hydraulic systems can also provide amplification of force, so some say they should be added to the list.^[12]^[14]^[15]

[edit] Frictionless analysis

Although each machine works differently, the way they function is similar mathematically. In each machine, a force is applied to the device at one point, and it does work moving a load, at another point. Although some machines only change the direction of the force, such as a stationary pulley, most machines multiply (or divide) the magnitude of the force by a factor, the mechanical advantage, that can be calculated from the machine's geometry. For example, the mechanical advantage of a lever is equal to the ratio of its lever arms.

Simple machines do not contain a source of energy, so they cannot do more work than they receive from the input force. When friction and elasticity are ignored, the work output (that is done on the load) is equal to the work input (from the applied force). The work is defined as the force multiplied by the distance it moves. So the applied force, times the distance the input point moves, , must be equal to the load force, times the distance the load moves, ^[13]:

So the ratio of output to input force, the mechanical advantage, is the inverse ratio of distances moved:

Mechanical Advantage frac{F_{out}}{F_{in}} = \fr ac{D_{in}}{D_{out}}. \," src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/e/9/a/e9a53ae19afe91c870e05afdfd1bf85d.png">

In the screw, which uses rotational motion, the input force should be replaced by the torque, and the distance by the angle the shaft is turned.

Force and Movement student workshop (New South Wales)

Information for teachers about the Force and Movement program for students from Kindergarten to Year 6, including booking details.

Description

There are forces acting on us all the time. Some we are aware of and some are not so obvious, yet they often influence many aspects of our lives. In this program, the relationship between force and movement is explored.

This program can either be presented as a one hour show with a maximum of 60 students, or in a ‘hands-on’ version for 30 students.

The show uses exciting experiments to show concepts involved with:

forces, including pushes, pulls, friction and spin
pressure and the connection with force and surface area
levers and pulleys
gravity
air resistance
balance and the centre of balance.

The hands-on activities invite students to discover:

the forces needed for movement and the way friction can help and hinder
how to make life easier using pulleys, levers and fulcrums
the forces of spin, centripetal forces and gyroscopic motion
whether heavy objects fall faster and how air resistance slows things down
structures that seem to defy gravity by exploiting the centre of balance
pressure, force and surface area on a bed of nails
what happens to energy when objects collide.

Details

This program is appropriate for students from Kindergarten to Year 6. Activities and demonstrations will vary with age level.

You can opt for a show only session that can cater for a maximum of 60 students per session. For Kindergarten to Year 2, the show lasts for 45 minutes and costs a minimum of A$4.00 per student and A$200 per session. For Years 3 - 6 the show runs for an hour and costs a minimum of A$4.50 per student and A$220 per session.

Alternatively, we can provide a show plus hands-on activities. These one-hour sessions can cater for up to 30 students and cost a minimum of A$7.00 per student and A$180 per session.

In 2009 these sessions and bookings are GST free. The minimum cost per presenter per day is A$400.

Bookings are essential.

We require a room with 12 tables around the edge of the room with space for 30 students to sit on the floor. Chairs are not required.

Set up time is 30 minutes, and pack up takes 30 minutes.

Color

2010-05-25T02:13:00.000-07:00

This article is about the perceptual property. For other uses, see Color (disambiguation).

"Coloration" redirects here. For the musical sense, see Diatonic and chromatic. For coloration in animals, see Animal coloration.

For usage of color on Wikipedia, see Wikipedia:Colors.

Color is an important part of human expression.

Color or colour (see spelling differences) is the visual perceptual property corresponding in humans to the categories called red, green, blue and others. Color derives from the spectrum of light (distribution of light energy versus wavelength) interacting in the eye with the spectral sensitivities of the light receptors. Color categories and physical specifications of color are also associated with objects, materials, light sources, etc., based on their physical properties such as light absorption, reflection, or emission spectra. By defining a color space, colors can be identified numerically by their coordinates.

Because perception of color stems from the varying sensitivity of different types of cone cells in the retina to different parts of the spectrum, colors may be defined and quantified by the degree to which they stimulate these cells. These physical or physiological quantification of color, however, do not fully explain the psycho physical perception of color appearance.

The science of color is sometimes called chromatics. It includes the perception of color by the human eye and brain, the origin of color in materials, color theory in art, and the physics of electromagnetic radiation in the visible range (that is, what we commonly refer to simply as light).

Mirrors and Lenses

2010-05-25T01:57:00.000-07:00

An object viewed using a flat mirror appears to be located behind the mirror, because to the observer the diverging rays from the source appear to come from behind the mirror.

The images reflected in flat mirrors have the following properties:

The image distance q behind the mirror equals the object distance p from the mirror

The image height h’ equals the object height h so that the lateral magnification

The image has an apparent left-right reversal

The image is virtual, not real!

Real Image where the light ray actually come to a focus you can actually see the object projected on a screen placed at that location

Virtual Image no light rays actually come directly from a virtual image, they just appear to the eye to do so. (When you see yourself in the mirror, are you actually located behind it as you appear?)

To figure out what happens: draw rays, use law of reflection, use geometry

Hearing

2010-05-25T01:25:00.000-07:00

Hearing is one of our sense. We hear when our ears pick up sound waves in the air which make our eardrums vibrate. These vibration are passed on to nerves inside the ear, which send messages to the brain. Then tells us what the sound are like.

When the sound waves vibrate slowly, we hear a low, or low -pitched, sound.When the sound vibration are fast, we hear high-pitch sounds.Some animals, such as dogs, can hear much higher sounds than we can and we sometimes use 'silent' whistles make is so high that we can't hear it, but the dogs can.

Bats can make and hear even higher sounds. They make these sounds to find their way around at nigh by listening for echoes form things in their path.They find their prey in the same way.

Using the stars

2010-05-19T22:25:00.000-07:00

Every day the Sun rises in the east and sets in the west.We can use the Sun to help us find our way,Sailors often do this to find their way, or navigate,across the sea.They measure the position of the Sun in the sky at different times of the day.They know where the Sun should be at certain times and in certain place, so they can work out where they are.

Bees also find their way by using the Sun.So do some birds,which fly hundreds of kilometres every year in autumn and spring,on their way to and from warmer countries.

At night,both sailors and birds find their way by the stars.They know where different stars should be in the sky at different times,so they can tell their position just as they can from the sun in the daytime.

Coin Tossing

2010-05-16T22:39:00.000-07:00

Tossing a coin decide which is a very practical way.It gives two choices an equal chance.For small time decision making,tossing a coin may serve your purpose. However, tossing a coin to decide whether to watch a movie or play bowling,when you have a sprained ankle, might bring you to the hospital instead of a good dinner in a first class restaurant for a "blow out"

Living in christian faith

2010-05-13T23:09:00.000-07:00

As Jesus was setting out on a journey a man came running up, knelt down before Him and asked," Good teacher , what must I do to shire in everlasting life?"

Jesus answered," Why do you call me good? no one is good but God alone.You know the commandments:

You shall not kill;

You shall not commit adultery;

You shall not steal;

You shall not bear false witness;

You shall not defraud;

Honor your father and your mother.''

The young man replied,"teacher,i have done all these since my childhood."

Jesus looked at him with love and said,"There is one more thing you must do.Go and sell what you have and give to the poor;you will then have treasure in heaven.after that,come and follow Me."

FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND

2010-05-06T04:33:00.000-07:00

One night I had a dream.

I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the lord

and across the sky flashed scenes from my life.

For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand:

One was mine and the other was the lord's.

When the last scene of my life appeared before me,I looked

back at the footprints in the sand and to my surprise,

I noticed that many times along the path of my life

there was only one set of footprints.

I also noticed that it was ta the lowest and saddest times in my life.

I asked the lord about it," lord, You said that once I decided to follow You, You would walk with me all the way. But I notice that during the most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why you left me when I needed most."

The lord said." My precious child' I love you. . . I never left you during your times of trial and suffering. When you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I WAS CARRYING YOU."

king Solomon

2010-04-30T05:20:00.000-07:00

One day, two mothers went to see king Solomon . they were quarreling about a baby .

"This is not true. the baby and is mine." said the first mother.

king Solomon got the baby and asked a soldier to get a sword.

"I shall cut the baby into two,"said the king .

"please do not cut the baby .Give it to her,"cried the first mother.

"You may cut the baby into two." said the second mother.

"Go away! the baby is not yours," shouted the king to the second mother.Then, he gave the baby to the first mother.

Jayson,Jomar and Erwin live in Payatas,Quezon City

2010-04-30T04:24:00.000-07:00

Jayson,Jomar and Erwin live in Payatas,Quezon City.Here, nobody ejects them although they are only squatters.This dumping area became their kingdom with castles of garbage,surrounded by swarms of flies,cockroaches, and emitting foul smell.But like the birds in the sky, they too want to be freed from this miserable life.

The trio have dreams for themselves. One of them suffered the most misfortune when he lost his parents and only brother in a garbage avalanche that buried and killed hundreds of slum dwellers.

"I want to go to school and learn so that when I grow up I will have a bright future,"he said, Another boy said, "I hope my father would have a jod so we can buy our needs."

"I want home we can call our own with food on the table," said one of them . in their hopelessness, they wrote letters on papers, folder them into paper boats and sailed them in pasig river, Who would ever read and know their dreams?Only God knows. Fortunately, the boats found their way to malacañang Palace and fell in the hands of the first lady of the land,

HOW DO YOU READ RINGS?

2010-04-28T05:30:00.000-07:00

Look at the log. It was once a tree and has a story to tell is not in words,but in rings.

In warm months trees grow fast. In cold months they don`t the wood grows in layers.
Each year makes a layer. the saw cuts through the layers. Look at the end of the log where the saw cuts.Each layer makes a circle. It makes one ring for each. Count the rings and you will know how old the tree is. A thick ring shows a good year wherein the tree grows a lot. A thin ring shows a bad year and here the tree does not grow very much. Maybe it is very cold or dry.

So whenever you see a log,look at the end. Read the rings . They tell the story of the life of the tree.

Electricity

2010-04-26T06:50:00.000-07:00

Electrification is a sign of progress particularly in the rural areas. Even in remote areas. People use electricity for many purposes. Almost every tasks at home or office needs electricity.

Putting Up a Backyard Project Suited to the Locality

2010-04-24T03:52:00.000-07:00

Important points to consider in backyard poultry & livestock raising are as follow;

1. Available capital with w/c to start determines the extent of the project.

2. The location should be for thickly populated neighborhood to avoid problems.

3. The basics of livestock raising must be learned first.

4. Market demand be determined.

5. Sources of needed supplies, materials and equipment must be identified.

6. Housing that provides plenty of fresh air & water for cleaning should be readied.

7. Sheds equipment, and other facilities must be kept clean and well maintained.

Marketing Schemes for Animals and Their Buy Products

2010-04-23T02:14:00.000-07:00

1. Retailing daily to the Consumer - in this method, the producer takes his products to the public market and sell these direct to consumer.

2. Selling to Middlemen or Wholesaler - the livestock raiser sells his animal to a middleman or wholesaler who comes to farm to buy animals.

3. Selling at the Farm - sales as arranged by sellers and buyers and a cash and carry basis. Products are immediately sold and delivered to the consumer right on the farm.

4. Selling through a contracting company - the produces signs a contract with a company to produce the products needed. The contract includes all detail such as what animals to raise.

5. Selling through cooperative - animal producers who are members of the cooperative deliver their products at the buying station for sale.

Basic Principles In Poultry Livestock Raising

2010-04-22T04:11:00.000-07:00

Livestock Raising is a profitable business.

In putting up a livestock project the following should be considered.

1. Capital Investment

2. Land - the space needed depends on the size of the poultry or herd.

3. Feeds - 50 - 80% of the total cost of production

4. Neighborhood - are the best protectors of the enterprise

5. Market - A ready market for livestock products at reasonable price is needed

6. Building - Initial Investment goes to the construction of sheds for the animals

7. Shelter - the quality and quantity of products produced depend upon feeding, care and available facilities

8. Labor - the size of the farm determines the cost of labor

9. Farm Accounts and Records - tell the progress of the enterprise
