When we do the research we can talk about it and argue it, so let is the thing I like it.

I think Mrs.Smith planed this way because she want that us know that learning is not teacher give to yo, is you learn something by our self.

Why is better to get the information from the on book or online Encyclopedia ?

Why is better to get the information from the on book or online Encyclopedia ? 1. Is better to go to book to search the information, because that is you find and create by your self when you go to Google, Yahoo or the other website, that is the other person wrote by him self, when you saw his idea, you will just copy ( It will some little change, but the big idea is still his.) 2. When you go to a book or a online Encyclopedia that will not have any other things, it will just have information, that is better than go to research by your self.( I mean that the other people's information.)

Study skills---Homework tips

After I read the topic of homework tips, I found there were many things that I did not try it before. The first things I should create a study area with my electric dictionary, fans which let me cool down and computer. Then I should make a prioritized list I need to do. I should study sometimes every days. I should know how much weight each assignment needs, and use my time collectively. While I tired, I should keep going. Summarize all information, take any free time, study with friends, ask question to the teacher. Finally I could reward my working.

Britain's Cadbury finds melamine in recalled food.

The companies watered down their milk and added melamine (which looks like protein) to meet the nutrient requirements.In China, cows are mostly raised on small family farms. The farmers who sell small amount of milk to the milk collecting stations. Then the milk collecting stations sell the milk to the milk companies in large quantities. Somehow, the milk collecting stations' owners learned a little chemistry, and they found out melamine can fool the readings of the protein test. So they not only add large amount of water into the milk to increase its volume, but also add the harmful melamine to get pass the quality check of milk company., in the latest fallout from the toxic milk scandal which has killed four Chinese infants and made 53,000 others there ill. http://asia.news.yahoo.com/080929/afp/080929170753asiapacificnews.html

Phelp's iPod

Friday, Aug 15, 2008 1:32 pm EDT The mystery of Michael Phelps' iPod playlistBy Chris Chase In the long, storied history of Fourth-Place Medal's Investigative Unit (founded: Monday), one question has been asked by our readers more than any other. Today, on our five-day anniversary, we will attempt to tackle the biggest Olympic mystery of the Beijing Games: what is Michael Phelps listening to on his iPod? In nearly every camera shot of Michael Phelps on dry land, he can be seen with iPod headphones dangling from his ears. The earbuds are a ubiquitous presence in the ready room and on the starting block; they're just as much a part of Phelps' 'uniform' as goggles and a swim cap. About two minutes prior to the start of a race, Phelps sheds the iPod along with his warm-ups. So, what is he listening to? Podcasts of NPR's This American Life and Dylan live at The Supper Club. No wait, that's my iPod. Phelps listens to hip-hop music on his. He says it helps moti...

Chinese parents seek answers on tainted baby milk

SHIJIAZHUANG, China - Hundreds of Chinese parents, some cradling infants, converged on the company at the heart of the tainted baby formula scandal Thursday, demanding refunds and asking what they can safely feed their children. Thousands of others filled hospitals, many hovering over sons and daughters hooked to IVs after drinking milk powder tainted with melamine , a toxic industrial chemical that can cause kidney stones and lead to kidney failure. The scandal highlights the changing family dynamics and economic growth in China. A generation ago, women had little choice besides breast-feeding. Now, supermarkets are filled with dozens of brands of baby formula, marketed to women who work outside the home after they give birth. Yao Haoge, an 11-month-old baby with two large kidney stones, had been drinking Sanlu formula since she was born because both of her parents work. They had been puzzled by their little girl's fevers and dark urine, but it never o...

Nike bends time and space to brand Ernie Davis' shoes

Image
By Matt Hinton There are those rare brands in the world you know on sight, almost instinctively. Insidious logos that imprinted themselves on your brain before you could speak, that transcend the linguistic and cognitive middle men and lunge directly for your MasterCard as your neurons are still gearing up for "blink." The Golden Arches . The Coca-Cola script . The AT&T Death Star . Uh, MasterCard . But only one monolithic, world-dominating corporate logo has developed the capability to travel backward in time to imprint itself on people and objects that existed years before its conception . So, the Nike swoosh, created in 1971, showing up on Syracuse's new statue honoring Ernie Davis , who died of leukemia eight years earlier, in 1963, is all just a big mistake , is it? No, it wasn't a marketing deal, Syracuse athletic director Daryl Gross said. The sculptor simply made a mistake. "Easy fix," Gross...
