sitting on the global fence between our magliomaniacal brother to the south and
our staunch traditionalist motherland to the east. From this division of powers
and alliances we find ourselves locked into a self-induced ignorance and
stifling conservatism. It's ironic that we have the opportunity to solve most
of Canada's critical environmental issues in one fell swoop . . . with one
simple plant. It is ignorance and the maintenance of the status quo that has
blinded and crippled our ability to realize this resource.
INTRODUCTION
A plant exists that is so strong that it can be grown without requiring
chemicals in almost every par ....

protect young individuals. Flowers, which are the most obvious characteristic
of angiosperms, guide the activities of insects and other pollinators so that
pollen is dispersed rapidly and precisely from one flower to another of The same
species, thus promoting out crossing. Many angiosperms display other modes of
pollination, including self-pollination.
Evolutionary Origins
Plants derived from an aquatic ancestor, but the evolution of their
conducting tissues, cuticle, stomata, and seeds has made them progressively less
dependent on water. The oldest plant fossils date from the Silurian Period,
some 430 million years ago.
The common ancestor of pl ....

Big Bang Theory
1285 Words - 5 Pages.... matter and radiation of that early stage
rapidly expanded and cooled. Several million years later, it condensed
into galaxies. The universe has continued to expand, and the galaxies
have continued moving away from each other ever since. Today the universe
is still expanding, as astronomers have observed.
The Steady State model says that the universe does not evolve or
change in time. There was no beginning in the past, nor will there be
change in the future. This model assumes the perfect cosmological
principle. This principle says that the universe is the same everywhere
on the large scale, at all times.2 It maintains the same average density
of matter forever. ....

by the name of Marcombes in Geneva. While traveling between Italy, France, and
England, Boyle was being tutored in the polite arts, philosophy, theology, mathematics,
and science.
As the years went by, Boyle became more and more interested in medicine. His
curiosity in this field led him to chemistry. At first Boyle was mainly interested in the facet
of chemistry that dealt with the preparation of drugs, but soon he became genuinely
interested in the subject and started to study it in great detail. His studies led him to
Oxford where he joined such scientists as John Wilkins and John Wallis. Together in
1660, th ....

interesting facts about rainbows.

Hepatitis
1533 Words - 6 Pages.... microscope by Ernst Ruska, the virus' true anatomy was first time visible to us in 1933.2 They are so infinitesimal that billions could fit into a drop of water---or a drop of human blood. Viruses have the most exquisite ability to sense the right cell surfaces. They don't just cause diseases in people, they infect every form of life on earth. Some emerging viruses are very serious. Common examples are the viruses, B and C. The B pattern of illness was recognized at the end of the nineteenth century, yet the virus itself was not isolated until 1963. One hundred and seventy six million people are carrying the surface antigen of this one virus globally, and the infect ....

Albert Einstein 2

He did not dress any better, which was proved when Hoffman first met Einstein, he went into his office, and Einstein was sitting there in "ill-fitting cloths," and his hair "characteristic-ally awry". He did not speak or write better or more elegantly than anyone else either. He did not even have any special learning powers either. This was proved when Hoffman was writing equations on a blackboard when he was asked to slow down by Einstein, he said, "Please go slowly, I do not understand things quickly." Proving that he is not that ....
