are obsessed with space travel, and always have been. They posses an ideal
vision of life on Mars. The Russians pride themselves for their excellent

atmosphere is thin. America’s NASA deeply desires for Mars to be a useful

afraid to express his opinion or suggestions to others. Watson appreciated
Crick for this outspoken nature, while others could not bear Crick because of
this nature. Maurice Wilkins was a much calmer and quieter man that worked in
London at King's College. Wilkins was the initial person that excited Watson on
DNA research. Wilkins had an assistant, Rosalind Franklin (also known as Rosy).
Initially, Wilkins thought that Rosy was supposed to be his assistant in
researching the structure of DNA because of her expertise in crystallography;
however, Rosy did not want to be thought of as anybody's assistant and let her

The Platypus
... lives. It is unknown how distinguishes its territories. If overcrowding is present in the home range, it is left up to the younger platypus to find a home range of its own.
Home ranges house several burrows, that are located along the river bank. There are two different types of burrows, dwelling burrows, and nesting burrows. The nesting burrows are used for rearing young, and the other dwelling burrow is used by both sexes as a place to rest, sleep and eat. Burrows have a problem with maintaining a flow of air through them. If a platypus stays in a burrow for too long it will begin to use up its supply of oxygen. The nesting burrow has an entrance above w ...

Continental Drift
... the drifting continents created mountains. Wegener's theory met controversy until 1954, when British geophysicists seeking to explain the phenomenon of polar wandering revived it. Since then, the modern theory of Plate Tectonics has evolved from and replaced Wegener's original thesis.
Plate Tectonics is the theory that deals with the structure, history, and dynamics of the earth's crust. The earth's crust is formed of 13 continental plates. The boundaries of the zones are where tectonic activities occur, and where earthquakes and volcanic eruptions tend to happen. The plate tectonics theory was thought up in the 1960s and 1970s, with ideas taken from Wegener’s ...

There are three main methods of diagnosis that are employed in the clinic: looking, asking and palpating, all of which contribute to a full and accurate diagnosis of the patient’s condition.

It is said that the state of the internal organs is reflected in the tongue, and the practitioner will note the color and shape of the tongue as well as its coating. All patients can expect their pulse to be taken. Unlike a Western doctor, the acupuncturist ...

What Is Astrology
... itself and its destiny.
Astrology points the way to soul development and growth. The soul's strengths
and weaknesses are noted in the horoscope. Life is an opportunity given to soul
for further enhancement.
Because the heavens are in constant motion, and because this motion is quite
ordered and exact, it is possible to project the positions of the sun, moon, and
planets for any given time. Astrologers use this information to draw-up a
horoscope and forecast the "influences" that will affect the soul at that time.
Astrologers usually do not predict actual events in the future. They can only
say what might happen, or could happen, but not what will happen--much ...

Silverfish
... Class: Insecta Order: Thysanum Family: Lepismati
Genus: Metalus Species: Gerrainus
LIFE CYCLE: Silverfish undergo incomplete metamorphosis. Adults lay eggs in
small groups containing a few to 50 eggs. The eggs are very small and deposited
in cracks and crevices. A female normally lays less than 100 eggs during her
life span . Under ideal conditions, the eggs hatch in two weeks, but may take up
to two months to hatch. The young nymphs are very much like the adults except
for size. Several years are required before they are sexually mature, and they
must mate after each molt if viable eggs are to be produced. Populations do not
build up rapidly because o ...
