Clover mites are little red arachnids which exist throughout the United States. They are small – about the size of a poppy seed – and thrive around homes and other warm structures.

Clover mites began to surface as a residential pest problem in the years following world war II. This is when the great housing boom began to place plants and landscaping close to houses. Though this new look to homes was nice, it introduced environments that several insects, arachnids and other creatures like as well. This lead to them living alongside homes which in turn lead to them finding there way inside. Much of the demand for pest control service is based on the fact that pre-existing conditions around the home are conducive to insect or pest infestations. The clover mite is such a pest.
Clover mites are plant eaters. They can live on many types of plants, trees, mold or algae. Clover mites are strong and hearty. They will easily endure a cold, long winter and will emerge on the first warm day of January. Clover mites live on or close to the food they like to eat. Once they find a food supply around your home, they will quickly move onto the siding. They like wood such as cedar, pine or pressboard. They will live in all the cracks and crevices such siding provides. It is likely they will find mold and algae on which to feed in these cracks as well. Clover mites are egg layers and usually lay eggs at least once a year. Though they may lay their eggs on plants, they prefer to do so on behind tree bark or house siding. The eggs will hatch in the spring as larva and begin feeding immediately. The larva will pass through several nymphal stages before reaching adulthood. This is true with most mites. In most areas, their is one generation that reaches adulthood a year. However, this generation is usually hundreds if not thousands of mites. Though small, they will utilize every space they can find. If they are allowed to nest on the side of your home a few years without being noticed, you will probably have quite an infestation by the time you find them!
Clover mites are a problem for several reasons. Since they are able to live in wall voids, under siding and generally out of view, many times their activity will go unnoticed for several years. During this time they will be reproducing and growing the population. This can happen out of sight since they are able to find food in areas where you don't look on a regular basis. At one point their numbers will be so large they will have to migrate. This migration usually happens in the spring or during a warm spell in the winter. If you have such a migration expect to see thousands and thousands of red specs running around in circles. This migration may start from plants or trees adjacent to your home. It may be originating from the siding and wall voids of your home. This migration will lead to them getting in around window and door frames. The mites are not looking for anything specific but they will be persistent. These migrations generally happen when the nest areas are filled up and they are simply looking for a new place to live. You'll know you have clover mites because they smear red if you crush one with your finger. This video does a good job of showing what a clover mite looks like close up, what they look like compared to a persons finger and what they look like after they've been crushed by that same finger!!
As demonstrated in the above video, The smashed mite will leave a red blotch. But this red is not blood. Clover mites don't bite, but they will leave a mess. Their red will stain just about anything you smear them on so try not using the crushing method of control. It will prove to be easier to vacuum the active ones or to use a piece of scotch tape with light pressure. These migrations may be the first clue you receive that you have a problem. Rest assured it will continue throughout the spring and then appear to pass as summer sets in. You may have another exodus in the fall, but they probably won't appear in great numbers until next year. These migrations and their populations will continue to grow unless you implement a pest control program designed to get them where they are living.
Although you may find them randomly around the home, in most cases the migration occurs on one side of a home. It may be on the second level coming from the roof. It may be on the first floor on the southwest side of the home. It may even be only on the outside of the house and even on only one side. If they haven't gotten inside yet, treatment will be limited to the outside siding. If they have found their way inside, you will need to attack them at both fronts. It is important to understand that the pest control program you set up will not be done one time. It must be set up to be done at least twice, depending on the level of infestation. Clover mites don't establish themselves overnight and you won't be able to get rid of them overnight. In the worst scenario, the treatment will be labor intensive. For the outside infestation it will be as simple as spraying the outside foundation.
There are three levels of infestation that most clover mite problems follow. If the first level is detected before it reaches the second level, control is easy. If the house has reached the second level, more treatment is needed but you will be able to get control. The third level of infestation involves the most work and greater time to get under control.
Level one infestations are when clover mites are found around the home. You may be finding them in mulch material like pine straw or wood chips. Any natural mulch decomposes and will create enough food to feed a lot of clover mites. Rock or gravel beds around the home are excellent clover mite beds. The rock tends to hold moisture which in turn allows algae to grow. Clover mites will readily take advantage of this food supply. Fence rows, railroad ties and plants which are contacting or in close proximity of the home will all attract and provide both food and shelter. If you come home one day to thousands of clover mites active in any of the above areas, don't be surprised. Be thankful they aren't inside your home at this point. This activity should be controlled immediately. The best method of control is to use a product called BIFEN. It mixes with water and is applied with a PUMP SPRAYER. One gallon will treat up to 800 sq/ft. Be sure to treat all around the home even though you may be finding activity on only one side. Bifen uses an active ingredient which is very effective against mites. Bifen is odorless, easy to mix and works the best. Be sure to treat all flower beds, mulch piles and turf that is suspected of having activity. Bifen will quickly kill what is active and provide a few weeks of residual.

Pump Sprayer: https://www.bugspraycart.com/good/pump-sprayers
If you have a large area of turf to treat, you should first apply some DELTA GARD GRANULES. These will penetrate pine straw, mulch, thatch and get deep down where the real nest sights are located. Apply them with one of our HAND SPREADERS to insure even distribution and then spray over the top with some the BIFEN listed above. Though you can apply Bifen with a pump sprayer, it is easier to use our hose end sprayer for large jobs. The GILMOUR 20 GALLON HOSE END hooks to your hose and uses the power of your water spicket to spray. This will save a lot of time and mixing effort. Most importantly, it will insure you use enough water to get proper coverage. Pump sprayers just won't cut it for this type of application. Water – and a lot of it – is best so the Hose End is the sprayer of choice.

Level two infestations are when the mites have found their way onto the home. If you are seeing thousands of mites crawling on the side of your home a foot or two high, don't panic. In most cases, this activity can be controlled quickly and effectively.
A timely treatment with the Bifen listed above on the home will stop them from being able to establish themselves. Be sure to spray a 4-6 foot high band around the home in addition to treating as described above for a level one infestation. Be sure to treat well above the height you see them crawling. The liquid treatment on the home should keep them out, but you must attack them in the mulch, plants or other areas they are nesting. If you fail to do this, they will surely find their way inside at some point as the foundation treatment will break down and be ineffective after a month. This is why the Delta Gard Granules is so important to use if you intend on breaking the cycle and keeping them out for good. Treat once a month for two or three months to insure you have them under control.
Level three infestations are when you're finding mites on the inside of the home or apartment. This generally happens when the outside population has gotten so large they are foraging inside as they migrate seeking food. It can also happen on large apartment buildings, hospitals and other cement structures which have plenty of inherent environments clover mites find attractive. Typically large structures have large roof tops and clover mites can live under the shingles as well as in tiny cracks that develop in brick and mortar joints. Algae and mold will readily grow in these locations and clover mites will easily find this food and take up residence on such structures. From there some will inevitably end up inside the structure and in most cases, it will start out small with just a few being seen. But if the problem isn't properly treated, it will only get worse.
To start, try to see where they are emerging and what part of the building might be harboring the population. Is it a ledge, balcony or deck that has plants? Maybe it's a roof top garden or a leaky roof? Identifying any "hotspot" can no doubt prove helpful for solving the problem efficiently.
So if you're seeing them outside, be sure to watch if they are emerging from the siding, from the ground, from behind a window frame or shutter, etc. The two most important things to watch for is how high they are actively nesting and which side or sides of the home they are most active. If they are inside, watch to see if they are coming from the rug, the wall, the ceiling, a window frame, a door way, electric outlets, or other entry point.
Again, this information will prove critical for the best treatment results. By knowing their entrance points you will be able to treat them directly. This will enable you to get results quicker. Controlling level three infestations is more difficult as more treatment methods and material is needed. You will need to follow the guidelines outlined above:
1) Treat plants and/or mulch areas that may be harboring populations with Bifen.
2) If you are finding them throughout the yard, treat the entire area first with the Delta Gard and then with the Bifen as explained above.
3) Spray the side of the home to at least a height above that which the mites are crawling. Use the Bifen for this application. If you're up high in an apartment building, reach out every window you can and treat with one of the aerosols listed below.
Since level three infestations mean the mites are living in the siding and/or the walls of the house, the level of nesting can vary dramatically. You could get lucky and only have them in a small section of one side of the exterior of the home. However, this is not likely. In most cases, the clover mites will be very active on at least one side of the structure. This activity is usually on both sides of the home. Although it may only be one level deep, such as under the wood shakes or around a window frame, in most cases they will have gotten to several depths by the time you find them inside. This means you will have to have some patience and persistence when treating. It is important to realize you will not be able to treat one time and be done with it. Most infestations which have reached level three will require treatments every few months for a year or two. Use DFORCE AEROSOL under siding, around windows, in light fixtures, around door frames or any where you saw them emerging. This treatment is both fast acting and easy to do.
D-Force: https://www.bugspraycart.com/insecticide/aerosol/d-force-14-oz-aerosol
However, if you want or need something that will last longer, use DELTAMETHRIN DUST. This material will last 6-12 months – even in wet environments – and does a much better job of breaking the cycle than just the aerosol alone. Apply the dust with a HAND DUSTER. This tool will let you get the dust into wall voids, electric outlets, switchplate covers and just about anywhere the Clover Mites may be hiding. Once you have dusted, mix up some BIFEN and apply it with one of our SPRAYERS to baseboards, carpeting and any flooring where the mites are active. This product is both odorless and safe for children and pets to walk on once it dries. Since these mites are small and can hide in many areas around the home, a blanket type application is sometimes needed. In other words, don't just treat where you have seen them. Make a point to spray areas which are adjacent to where they were most active. This will insure you get enough coverage of key spots. Level three infestations of clover mites are usually not controlled with one or two applications. In most cases, you will need to treat sporadically throughout the year.

Bifen IT: https://www.bugspraycart.com/insecticide/liquid/bifen
Pump Sprayer: https://www.bugspraycart.com/good/pump-sprayers
Level 1 and 2 infestations are easy to control following the treatment guidelines listed above. Bifen and Delta Gard are able to control outside infestations and keep them from penetrating your home. Once clover mites have established themselves in the home and reached level three status, you will need to treat outside and inside as well. Dforce aerosol will let you penetrate most any crack or crevice where clover mites like to live; use the Deltamethrin Dust for longer protection in wall voids where the mites like to nest. Spray Bifen throughout the home in any room which has activity for long term surface residual to kill off migrating mites as they enter living areas. Repeat as necessary to insure they don't return.

How to execute dietary management in eating disorder patients
Substances that provoke gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with eating disorders (ED) can impact negatively on their nutritional rehabilitation. An Australian research group has found that ingestion of fructose-sorbitol (F-S) provoked gastrointestinal symptoms in more than half of a group of female ED patients, and symptoms were more marked in the most underweight patients. These findings indicate that F-S provocative testing could play a valuable role in the clinical management of ED patients.
Eating disorders (ED) patients display a high prevalence of gastrointestinal symptoms and functional gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome. These symptoms may interfere with their nutritional management. Ingestion of fructose-sorbitol (F-S) is an established means of gastrointestinal symptom provocation in irritable bowel syndrome patients. Surprisingly, although ED patients are known to consume "diet" products containing fructose and sorbitol, their gastrointestinal symptom responses to F-S provocation have not been studied.
A research article published on November 14, 2009 in the World Journal of Gastroenterology describes the responses of 26 ED patients to F-S provocation. The research team, including Professors Kellow, Abraham and Hansen from the University of Sydney, Australia, monitored gastrointestinal symptoms and breath hydrogen concentration (a marker of small bowel absorption) for 3 h following ingestion of 50 g glucose on one day, and 25 g fructose/5 g sorbitol on the next day. Responses to F-S were compared to those of 20 asymptomatic healthy females.
F-S provoked gastrointestinal symptoms in 15 ED patients but only in one healthy control. In contrast, only one ED patient displayed symptom provocation to glucose, which does not usually provoke gastrointestinal symptoms; this shows specificity of the F-S response. A greater symptom response was observed in the most underweight ED patients (BMI ≤ 17.5 kg/m2) compared to those with a BMI >17.5 kg/m2. There were no differences in psychological scores, prevalence of functional gastrointestinal disorders or breath hydrogen responses between patients with and without an F-S response.
The key findings of this study are that F-S provoked gastrointestinal symptoms in more than half of the female ED patients, a significantly greater proportion than that found in healthy individuals; the response was specific for F-S ingestion; and there was a greater symptom response in patients at lower BMI values. Consistent with this last finding, symptom provocation was more common in anorexia nervosa patients. Hence negative energy balance appears to play a role in F-S sensitivity in these patients. As fructose and sorbitol are likely to be commonly ingested by ED patients, representing a potential source of gastrointestinal distress that would impact negatively on their nutritional management, F-S provocative testing could prove valuable in identifying those patients with symptom sensitivity to these substances.

Kiravans Thermal Silver Screens - VW T5 Tailgate (no wiper)
In our experience of using, building and hiring out campervans these are the bees knees. No curtains to flap around your ears while you drive, yet you get almost total blackout of outside lights and very good insulation at night when you really need it. Thermal silver screens are designed to be fixed to the inside of your camper van windows to help retain heat in cold weather or reflect sunlight away from your van in hot weather.
The outside edges are finished in a matching grey tape and the sucker eyelets are reinforced for durability. The screens are held in place by plastic window suckers and can be put up and taken down in a few minutes. They include a storage bag and can be rolled or folded away for easy storage.
Our screens are made by a French manufacturer specialising in this product. Each screen is made up of nine separate layers for maximum insulaton:
- 1 tightly woven, moisture resistant, grey inner face
- 6 alternating layers of insulation and metallic foil
- 1 layer of polyester fibre
- 1 waterproof, reflective foil outer face
The outside edges are finished in a matching grey tape and the sucker eyelets are reinforced for durability. The grey plastic suckers are packed separately and need to be attached using the key rings supplied.
- These screens are all vehicle (and window) specific so will only fit the model they are described for.
- Windscreen covers will have a slot for the rear view mirror.
- Our screens are specifically designed for panel van conversions. Some factory models like the Caravelle have plastic mouldings around the windows, which will result in a poorer fit.
- Sucker Grip: the suckers supplied with these screens are made of a soft palstic and will stay put all night as long as the glass is clean and free from imperfections. They do not stick so well if they contact heating elements. A few after-market windscreens also cause problems due to a wider band of raised black dots printed around the rear-view mirror.

"Lisa the Iconoclast" is the sixteenth episode of The Simpsons' seventh season. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on February 18, 1996. In the episode, Springfield's bicentennial approaches, and Lisa writes an essay on town founder Jebediah Springfield. While doing research, she finds a confession revealing that Springfield was named after a murderous pirate named Hans Sprungfeld who never cared about the people of Springfield. Lisa and Homer decide to get the message out but instead anger the town council.
The episode was written by Jonathan Collier and directed by Mike B. Anderson.[1] It was Anderson's first directing role and the story was inspired by the 1991 exhumation of President Zachary Taylor. Donald Sutherland guest starred as the voice of Hollis Hurlbut, a part that was written specifically for him. The episode includes several references to Colonial and Revolutionary America, including Gilbert Stuart's unfinished 1796 painting of George Washington. The episode features two neologisms, embiggen and cromulent, which were intended to sound like real words but are in fact completely fabricated (although it was later discovered that C. A. Ward had used "embiggen" in 1884).[2] Embiggen, coined by Dan Greaney, has since been used in several scientific publications, while cromulent, coined by David X. Cohen, appeared in Dictionary.com's 21st Century Lexicon.
The episode was acclaimed by critics.
As Springfield celebrates its bicentennial, Lisa's class at Springfield Elementary School are assigned essays. Lisa goes to the historical society to research Jebediah Springfield, the founder of Springfield. While trying to play Jebediah Springfield's fife, she makes the shocking discovery that the town's founder was actually a villainous pirate and enemy of George Washington. He had written his confession on the back side of a portrait of Washington and hidden it in his fife. Meanwhile, upon Lisa's suggestion, Homer is elected the town crier.
Lisa conducts further research on Jebediah Springfield, and discovers that he had a prosthetic silver tongue. The town does not agree with Lisa's revelations, but Homer does. When Lisa attempts to show Hollis Hurlbut the confession, he dismisses it as an obvious forgery. Lisa tries to convince the town her claims are true, but is met with outright hostility. However, she convinces the municipal government to disinter Springfield's body to search for evidence of the silver tongue. When they open the coffin, however, the skeleton possesses no silver tongue.
Later, after seeing the incomplete portrait of George Washington in her classroom, Lisa soon discovers that the piece of paper upon which the confession is written is the bottom half of the portrait. She confronts Hurlbut, who confesses that he stole the tongue while the dust cleared seconds after the coffin was opened and hid it in the museum. Hurlbut explained that he had done so to protect his career and the myth of Jebediah Springfield. After realizing the mistake of celebrating a pirate, the two decide to go public with their discovery. Just as Lisa is about to share her discoveries with the parading townspeople, she realizes that Jebediah Springfield's good image means too much to the town, and decides to keep the truth a secret, knowing they will lose hope and morale if the truth is revealed.
The story was inspired by the real events surrounding the exhumation of President Zachary Taylor.[3] In the late 1980s, college professor and author Clara Rising theorized that Taylor was murdered by poison and was able to convince Taylor's closest living relative and the Coroner of Jefferson County, Kentucky, to order an exhumation. On June 17, 1991, Taylor's remains were exhumed and transported to the Office of the Kentucky Chief Medical Examiner, who found that the level of arsenic was much smaller than would be expected if Taylor had been thus poisoned. The remains were then returned to the cemetery and received appropriate honors at reinterment.[4] Then-show runner Bill Oakley said "Lisa the Iconoclast" is "essentially the same" story but with Lisa in the role as Rising.[3] At the end of the episode, an ode to Jebediah Springfield is played over the credits. The music and lyrics were written by Jeff Martin.[3]
Donald Sutherland voiced the historian in this episode.[1] The script was specifically written with him in mind playing that part.[5] Sutherland wanted to do the voice recordings as one would do a film and start in the middle of the script, so that he could get to know the character, but that idea was abandoned.[3] In the episode, Lisa joked she was getting over her "Chester A. Arthuritis", a play on the word "arthritis" and the name of Chester A. Arthur. Sutherland ad-libbed the line "you had arthritis?", and the producers liked it so much that they kept it.[3]
The episode opens with an old documentary on Jebediah Springfield, starring Troy McClure as Springfield. The writers tried to make this documentary seem as lousy and low-budget as possible. One of these tricks was to have post-production add scratches to the animation.[6] The animators added production errors that would occur in a low-budget film. For example, a man in the crowd looks at the camera, some of the people are wearing wristwatches,[7] McClure's stuntman does not have the same sideburns as he does, and a boom microphone can be seen entering the frame.[3] In the Historical Society, the animators spent a significant amount of time decorating the walls. Besides numerous historical references, they also decorated the walls with The Simpsons characters in 18th-century settings. The first painting shows Otto Mann driving children in a horse-drawn carriage. Another painting shows Marge Simpson in silhouette. The last painting shows Professor Frink holding a kite in the manner of Benjamin Franklin.[3]
Cultural references[edit]
The Historical Society of Springfield contains references to historical figures and facts. The episode features Gilbert Stuart's unfinished 1796 painting of George Washington and tells a fictional backstory of how it came to be. In reality, the painting was unfinished and it did not have a part torn off.[3] Hurlbut mentions the American revolutionaries William Dawes and Samuel Allyne Otis as equals to Jebediah Springfield.[1] When Lisa passes out the "Wanted for treason" posters, it is a reference to those featuring John F. Kennedy, which were circulated in Dallas prior to his assassination.[8] Hurlbut claims Springfield's confessions are "just as fake" as the will of Howard Hughes and the diaries of Adolf Hitler, both of which are proven forgeries.[1] The opening couch gag shows the Simpson family in blue boxes similar to the style of The Brady Bunch.[1]
Chief Wiggum is singing "Camptown Races" from 1850 by Stephen Foster ventriloquised with the skull of Jebediah Springfield.[1] Lisa's dream in which Washington and Springfield are fighting is a reference to Lethal Weapon.[7] When Lisa is telling the people at Moe's Tavern about the real history of Jebediah Springfield, they all sit with their mouths open. This is a reference to a scene in the film The Producers from 1968.[7] When Homer knocks over Ned Flanders in order to take over his job as town crier, it is a reference to the film National Lampoon's Animal House from 1978.[8] Lisa's decision to hide the truth to preserve the myth of Jebediah Springfield is a reference to the film The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. In addition to these cultural references, at least one author has compared this episode to Friedrich Nietzsche's short work On the Advantage and Disadvantage of History for Life.[9]
Embiggen and cromulent [edit]
The episode features two neologisms: embiggen and cromulent.[3] The showrunners asked the writers if they could come up with two words which sounded like real words, and these were what they came up with.[5] The Springfield town motto is "A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man." Schoolteacher Edna Krabappel comments that she had never heard the word embiggen until she moved to Springfield. Ms. Hoover, another teacher, replies, "I don't know why; it's a perfectly cromulent word." Later in the episode, while talking about Homer's audition for the role of town crier, Principal Skinner states, "He's embiggened that role with his cromulent performance."
Embiggen—in the context in which it is used in the episode—is a verb that was coined independently by Dan Greaney in 1996.[3] The literal meaning is to make something larger,[10] with the morphology (em- + big + -en) being parallel to that of enlarge (en- + large). The verb had in fact previously occurred in an 1884 edition of the British journal Notes and Queries: A Medium of Intercommunication for Literary Men, General Readers, Etc. by C. A. Ward, in the sentence "but the people magnified them, to make great or embiggen, if we may invent an English parallel as ugly. After all, use is nearly everything."[11] The word has made its way to common use and was included in Mark Peters' Yada, Yada, Do'h!, 111 Television Words That Made the Leap From the Screen to Society.[12] In 2018, it was included in the Merriam-Webster dictionary[13] and the online Oxford English Dictionary.[14] In particular, embiggen can be found in string theory. The first occurrence of the word was in the journal High Energy Physics in the article "Gauge/gravity duality and meta-stable dynamical supersymmetry breaking", which was published on January 23, 2007.[15] For example, the article says: "For large P, the three-form fluxes are dilute, and the gradient of the Myers potential encouraging an anti-D3 to embiggen is very mild." Later this usage was noted in the journal Nature, which explained that in this context, it means to grow or expand.[16]
Cromulent is an adjective that was coined by David X. Cohen.[3] Since it was coined, it has appeared in Dictionary.com's 21st Century Lexicon.[17] The meaning of cromulent is inferred only from its usage, which indicates that it is a positive attribute. Dictionary.com defines it as meaning fine or acceptable.[17] Ben Macintyre has written that it means "valid or acceptable".[18]
In its original broadcast, "Lisa the Iconoclast" finished 70th in the ratings for the week of February 12 to 18, 1996.[19] The episode was the sixth highest-rated show on the Fox network that week, following The X-Files, Melrose Place, Beverly Hills, 90210, Married... with Children, and Fox Tuesday Night Movie: Cliffhanger.[19]
The episode received extremely positive reviews from television critics. DVD Movie Guide's Colin Jacobson lauded it for the focus on Lisa, commenting that "Lisa-centered episodes tend to be preachy, but I suppose that's inevitable given her character. I like the fact Lisa takes the high road here, though, as she proves she doesn't always have to be right. Homer's turn as the town crier brings mirth to a solid show."[20] In addition, John Alberti praised the episode in his book Leaving Springfield as "an especially cromulent example of the narrative fissuring and disruptive disclosure...Lisa spends the entire episode uncovering the truth about Jebediah and courageously defending her findings against a phalanx of authority figures...a symbol of honesty, integrity, and courage. All in all, a spectacular episode revealing the truth behind our society."[21] The authors of the book I Can't Believe It's a Bigger and Better Updated Unofficial Simpsons Guide, Warren Martyn and Adrian Wood, thought it was a "clever" episode, and highlighted Lisa's fantasy of the fight between Springfeld and George Washington as "fantastic".[1] Dave Foster of DVD Times thought Sutherland offered a "memorable" guest appearance.[22] Total Film's Nathan Ditum ranked Sutherland's performance as the 14th best guest appearance in the show's history.[23] Michael Moran of The Times ranked the episode as the eighth best in the show's history.[24]
The episode was included on April 28, 1997 on the VHS set The Dark Secrets of the Simpsons, alongside "The Springfield Files", "Homer the Great", and "Homer Badman".[25] On September 8, 2003, the VHS tape was released on DVD under the name The Simpsons: Dark Secrets in Region 2 and Region 4, but "Homer the Great" was replaced by "Homer to the Max".[26] It was released again on DVD on December 13, 2005 as part of The Simpsons Complete Seventh Season. Bill Oakley, Josh Weinstein, Jonathan Collier, Yeardley Smith, Mike B. Anderson, and David Silverman participated in the DVD's audio commentary.[27]

CAMBRIDGE, MASS. – UMBC track and field freshman Mercedes Jackson (Huntington, Md./Huntington) and junior Trae Proctor (Brandywine, Md./Thomas Stone) were named female and male America East Track Performer of the Week, respectively, the conference announced on Tuesday. The announcement comes after both recorded personal-best times at the Penn State Relays held on Saturday.
Jackson collects her second weekly award in her rookie campaign after breaking her own school record in the 60m dash. After setting a new school record at her first collegiate meet, the Bison Opener in December, Jackson was able to lower her own mark at Penn State, setting the new standard at 7.50.
In addition, Jackson finds herself third on the school's all-time list for the 200m after running a 24.88 in State College over the weekend.
Meanwhile, Proctor, last year's America East 60m hurdle champion, set a new personal-best in the event of 8.03 to claim gold in Pennsylvania. With his new time, Proctor now ranks second on UMBC's all-time list. In addition, Proctor is now qualified for the IC4A meet to be held in Boston in March.
UAlbany swept the field awards this week with Alfonso Sannapieco claiming the men's honor and Kelsey Hanson earning the women's award.
The UMBC track and field team continues its indoor schedule this Friday when the Retrievers travel to New York City to take part in the 2012 Gotham Cup.

Interested in Language
Tweedle Thee and Tweedle Thuh
I find it interesting that there are two words for the indefinite article (a and an) depending on the word that comes next, but there is only one definite article (the). But, there's a special pronunciation rule about the word the that is similar to the rule about when to use a and an: The is pronounced thuh when it comes before a word that starts with a consonant sound, and it's pronounced thee when it comes before a word that starts with a vowel sound. It can also be pronounced thee for emphasis (2), for example if you wanted to say, Twitter is the [pronounced thee] hot social networking tool. I actually have trouble remembering this rule and have to make special marks in my transcripts to remind myself to get the pronunciation right, so I apologize if I mess it up sometimes. I think I must have missed the day they covered this in school, and I've never recovered.
(Grammar Girl's Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing - Mignon Fogarty)
I'm rather surprised that Mignon Fogarty has trouble remembering this rule and that she has to make special marks to remind herself to get the pronunciation right. I wasn't really aware of this rule but I just tried it out for myself and I really can't bring myself to say "Thuh Omega Man" or "thuh effect". This rule comes naturally to me and I don't have to think about it and I didn't learn it in school. I haven't heard anyone go wrong, but then again I haven't paid any real attention.
Are there really a lot of people out there who have problems making the distinction between "thuh" and "thee"?
There are parts of southern Africa (and possibly other places I don't know about) where 'thuh' is used before vowels, but this is restricted to certain dialects.
We don't specifically learn it at school (we have absorbed it before then) except when we are learning to read. Many beginning readers read 'the' as 'thee' every time they see it in print. A small minority continue with this into adulthood when they are reading aloud. They pronounce the word appropriately in normal speech.

|The New York Giants will wear a decal Sunday in memory of those killed in the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. (New York Giants/Twitter)
The New York Giants and New York Jets will wear a decal on their helmets Sunday in memory of the lives lost in the tragic mass shooting at a Newtown, Conn. elementary school on Friday morning.
Giants and Jets players will have the initials S.H.E.S. (Sandy Hook Elementary School) on the back of their helmets. Both New York teams are on the road in Week 15 -- the Giants facing the Atlanta Falcons and the Jets taking on the Tennessee Titans.
The NFL has asked home teams to observe a moment of silent reflection prior to the national anthem before this weekend's games.
The New England Patriots will also wear a special decal on their helmets, in addition to sending up 26 flares over Gillette Stadium before Sunday night's game against the San Francisco 49ers.
A gunman murdered 20 students and six adults before apparently killing himself at an elementary school in Newtown, a town approximately 60 miles northeast of New York City.

New guy...
Hello & welcome!
Yes, very nice! Loving 4. The Rationality Of The Sun
Does anyone know what this track is? picosong.com/wXP8V/ Recorded from radio in 1998.
Interesting take on the debate about the plural of the word "vinyl"... Read here: washingtonpost.com/news/arts-a…ay-fine-call-them-vinyls/ electroempire.com/index.php?at…71268e1a96e8104c5d9f45437
I know the first and probably have it on vinyl... It's not on the From Beyond series as I first thought. Maybe something on Serotonine Records... Sven Väth played it in an Electro set at Evosonic radio in 1998. Mix isn't online anywhere unfortunately. I still know I hunted down every track from that set and got them all on vinyl... but what is it again.... That's gonna keep my mind busy now...
track id HELP!!
it's Sven Väth "Ghost (Part1)" (produced by Anthony Rother) youtube.com/watch?v=nfZ0BwPXPl0
youtube.com/watch?v=yvhRsFieDbE Quote from sparced: "Also any chance we can have embedded Soundcloud? " If you put the pure soundcloud link into a post (without [ u r l ] [ / u r l ] bbcode) it should automatically turn into an embedded player. If it's adding bbcode anyway, just edit the post and remove that from the link and save.
Nice mix. The one at around 34min sounds very familiar to me... maybe something from the Elektrolux label. hmmm

Maggotron, BassChamber & Electro Brothers "MIAMI 2 BERLIN" ...new Miami Bass & Electro-Rap 2x12" vinyl
Just to clarify, this "Miami 2 Berlin" release is from a new Berlin-based label (Bass Chamber Records, run by DJ Dregon). We're just selling it in our shop (like all the other releases from various other labels). Quote from B-T-T-B: "Are there any infos about Global Surveyor Phase 4? " It will probably be out in August~September.
Quote from AITCH-SKI: "We Come To Rock was already re-released Matt a few years and the copies were snapped up pretty much straight away But I wasn't saying to release it again buddy, go back and read again " I know, I was just giving an example. I don't mean re-release. I mean imagine erasing a "classic" like this from the past and release it newly nowadays. How far do you think this would get in todays tiny market/scene for this music? No much further than other newly released quality Electro …
Just trying to look objectively on your subjectivity. To fairly compare music from different decades you should look at the contexts as well. And we could go on about why songs actually become "classics". I think it has more to do with releasing things in the right place and time, good PR and multiplying factors of a big scene (which all together have a huge effect on how things are perceived) than solely the quality of a song. Release "We Come To Rock" today (or any of the other 80s tracks cons…

Mumbai: England Twenty20 captain Eoin Morgan conceded that his side fell short by 10-15 runs after getting off to a blistering start in the lost opening Twenty20 international against India in Pune.
"We got off to a fantastic start - Alex [Hales] and Luke [Wright] really came together as a pair - but from there we didn't really kick on," said Morgan.
"We lost wickets continuously which halted our momentum and didn't do us any favours. The total we did creep up to was probably about 10 or 15 short of par," said Morgan who is standing in for the injured regular skipper Stuart Broad.
Morgan praised the whirlwind 56 scored by Hales, off just 30 balls with seven fours and two sixes and his stand of 68 runs in quick time with Wright (34) before India's Yuvraj Singh, later named the man of the match, halted his side's progress with a three-wicket haul in 10 balls.
Yuvraj's victims included the second-wicket pair and Morgan himself as England fell off from 89 for 2 to be contained to 157 for 6. Later, Yuvraj smashed 38 off 21 balls to give impetus to the successful run-chase following the dismissals of openers Gautam Gambhir and Ajinkya Rahane in close succession.
"We said at the halfway stage we would have to do things exceptionally well to win this game, because the wicket did play so well, and we just lacked a bit of discipline really," said Morgan.
Morgan rued the mid-innings stutter followed by some poor bowling. "Losing wickets in Twenty20 cricket doesn't help - and batting first, you never know how much is enough because you play on a small ground on a good wicket. We didn't compensate for the wickets and again didn't set it up for the finish. We lost wickets at the wrong times," said Morgan.
But he said he would continue to encourage his batsmen to go for their shots on good tracks. "I'll continue to encourage the guys to play positively and again build partnerships and continue momentum if the wicket is good," he said.
Morgan also praised Yuvraj for his match-changing all round display.
"He's a very clean striker of a cricket ball, and again always has that danger factor. He can clear the ropes and he did that tonight - he had one over when he went berserk.
"...all credit to him; he bowled well. He does a great job, and has done for years," added the England captain when asked about how Yuvraj's part-time spin has been so effective in the limited overs.

To encourage healthcare transparency, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has designed a new Medicare pricing tool website that allows patients to compare out-of-pocket costs for surgical and medical procedures at hospitals and freestanding surgery centers.
This is part of a Congress-mandated initiative called the 21st Century Cures Act.
"Can you imagine going to the grocery store, getting the groceries you need for the week, but never knowing the price of your items until a week later when the store sends you a bill? Sadly, that's how healthcare works every day" – Seema Verma, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator (CMS Blog).
Medicare Pricing Tool
The Procedure Price Lookup Tool allows a qualified Medicare beneficiary to compare average payments and copayments for medical procedures performed in hospital outpatient departments (HOPDs) and ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). The website also provides the national average copayment a beneficiary with no Medicare supplemental insurance policy (Medigap) would pay the provider.
Colonoscopy, upper endoscopy and esophageal dilation are three of the most common GI outpatient procedures. Here are the average costs Medicare patients would pay for these procedures at a hospital outpatient department (HOPD) compared to an ambulatory surgery center (ASC).
|Most Common GI Procedures
Average Cost Medicare Patient Pays at HOPD
|Average Cost Medicare Patient Pays at ASC
|Average Savings at ASC
|CPT code: 45380
|CPT code: 44360
|CPT code: 43248
What is an Ambulatory Surgery Center?
An ambulatory surgery center is a freestanding medical facility that offers preventive services and surgical care. Because of their convenience, efficiency and value, ASCs are attractive alternatives to hospital outpatient departments (HOPD). ASCs offer the same procedures, medical equipment and advanced technology as hospitals, and physicians often have privileges at both HOPDs and ASCs. This means you can receive the same procedure — performed by the same physician — and pay vastly different amounts depending on the facility you choose.
Benefits of Choosing an Ambulatory Surgery Center for Your Outpatient GI Procedure
ASCs can provide the high-quality procedures of a hospital at a reduced cost because there are fewer overhead costs like administrative staff, insurance, advertising and facility maintenance.
By choosing an ASC for your outpatient GI procedure, you can expect:
- Exceptional Value — On average, a procedure at an ASC will cost you 40 percent less than a hospital.
- Transparency — ASCs provide pricing information before your procedure, not after.
- Safe, Quality Procedures — Choose an ASC that is accredited by AAAHC and CMS – the industry leaders for quality and safety.
- Comfortable Environment — Pleasant, relaxed atmosphere with convenient parking.
- Personalized Care — Targeted, specialty services in a smaller setting.
- High Satisfaction Rate — Surveys reveal a 92 percent satisfaction rate among ASC patients.
Using the Medicare Website Procedure Price Lookup Tool
Using the Medicare pricing tool, you can quickly compare your out-of-pocket responsibility for hundreds of medical and surgical procedures at a surgery center vs. hospital. Follow these simple steps:
- Obtain the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code for your outpatient procedure. There are multiple variations for certain procedures, so ask your doctor or physician billing department for the specific CPT code.
- Go to www.medicare.gov/procedure-price-lookup/ and enter the CPT code in the box that says "search by procedure name or code."
- Compare average costs.
- Under "Next Steps" you can access a checklist of questions to ask your doctor to determine what facility is best for your outpatient procedure.
- Search for ASCs in your area and make an appointment immediately by clicking here.
You have a right to know the price of your healthcare and your medical procedures. Talk to your physician about medical procedures you need to schedule this year and use the Medicare pricing tool to see how much you can save by using an ambulatory surgery center.

Most of the mainstream media still takes it as a given that there is an ongoing and brutal post-9/11 backlash against Muslims in America that fuels discrimination against followers of Islam. The fact that there is virtually no evidence for this assertion and much empirical data to argue for the opposite conclusion has not prevented liberals and radicals masquerading as the representatives of American Muslims to continue to claim the existence of a backlash. As we've previously noted, FBI hate crime statistics consistently show attacks on Muslims are rare and constitute a fraction of the far more prevalent bias crimes committed against Jews. Nor has the relative paucity of Muslim villains in popular culture or the reflexive support for Islam on the part of American leaders debunked the backlash myth.
Today, we have yet more evidence that the notion of a persecuted American Muslim community is fiction:
Data released Tuesday from the 2010 U.S. Religion Census shows Islam was the fastest growing religion in America in the last 10 years, with 2.6 million living in the U.S. today, up from 1 million in 2000.
Mormonism too saw remarkable growth, with a 45 percent increase in adherents. It added nearly 2 million members since 2000, bringing their number in the U.S. to 6.1 million.
"Both of these groups entered more than 200 counties that they weren't in 10 years ago," said Dale Jones, data analyst and mapping specialist for the Religion Census.
Is it possible or even likely that Islam would be thriving in the United States if it were not a society that is welcoming Muslims with open arms and providing a safe environment for people to openly practice this faith?
The answer is an obvious "no."
Those who have promoted this myth have yet to provide any objective analysis outside of their own assertions to back up their claim of a backlash or of any wave of discrimination or bias crimes. To the contrary, every new survey about American society continues to show there are no obstacles to Muslim advancement or systematic ill treatment.
In response, those who make these false claims argue that law enforcement activities seeking to root out Islamist support for terrorism either abroad or at home constitutes a form of discrimination. But such actions, such as the New York Police Department's surveillance of mosques or community centers where Islamists have congregated, are reasonable reactions to a real threat that deserves the attention of the authorities, not the product of arbitrary bias. Nor do they threaten the vast majority of Muslims who are hard working, law-abiding citizens.
America is not perfect, but it is a far safer place to practice Islam, or any other faith, than almost all Muslim countries, where religious-based discrimination is commonplace and dissent is ruthlessly wiped out. The backlash myth may die hard, but it remains a myth.

"Saturday Night Live" dove head-first into the country's gun control debate in a series of blistering sketches and a "Weekend Update" segment devoted to the issue.
After tackling the week's big news — like Kevin McCarthy dropping out of the House Speaker race and Justin Bieber's nude photos — "Weekend Update" host Colin Jost debated gun control with Michael Che.
Jost argued that devotion to gun ownership in America is linked to Americans' obsession with unnecessary things. "We don't need a Baconator. We don't need a beer that's a margarita inside a beer. And we definitely don't need our dogs to wear Halloween costumes," he said.
Che quipped that drivers licenses, a purple belt in karate, and tickets to see Kevin Hart are all harder to get than a gun and went on to tell viewers that, "you can't have whatever you want."
"The forefathers said you had the right to own a gun. They also said you had the right to own people," he said, before comparing the Constitution to a grandfather.
"He's wise, we love him but he's getting really, really old and sometimes we have to go into the other room and talk about what we are going to do with him."
Amy Schumer, who made her hosting debut, got in on the gun control jokes as well, in a skit about a city council meeting an a commercial spoof, mocking Americans' attachment to guns. In the city council skit, Schumer played the role of a little girl, who wanted to know if she was allowed to bring firearms to school.
"You have a gun?" an astounded city council member, played by Bobby Moynihan, asked.
"Yes sir a bunch," Schumer said. "I'm very pro-life. Pro-my-life!"
In the gun commercial, Schumer plays a woman, who is touched to receive a firearm as a gift from her date. Sentimental music plays in the background as a narrator says, "there are things we all share: love, family, connection, a sense of purpose. And also, guns."
In her opening monologue, Schumer knocked the Kardashians for being poor role models for women who weren't born with their figures or faces, and told a story about when she asked Hillary Clinton if she ever drank tequila. Schumer said that the presidential candidate replied that she only drank it when her friends made her, which led Schumer to wonder — "who's hazing Hillary Clinton?"
Schumer later appeared in skits about a hands-free selfie-stick, a porn-star teacher and a Delta flight gone horribly wrong.

"Roller Coaster" Turkish Towel - Blue
"Roller Coaster" Turkish Towel - Blue
Made from 100% premium cotton, hand-loomed Turkish towel. Double layered.
Can be used in so many different ways, such as bath, spa, sauna or beach towel, scarf, throw, home or picnic blanket. Really practical while travelling or for the gym since they are thinner but more absorbent than a regular towel.
We recommend washing your towel before you use it for the first time. Washing trains the cotton fibres to be more absorbent. Use a gentle machine wash at 30 degrees. Avoid using fabric softener as this will decrease absorbency. Your hammam towels will become softer with every wash. Please do not tumble dry.
The tassels on the edges of our towels are hand knotted and can occasionally unravel with wear. Simply twist the unraveled threads in a clockwise motion and re-knot them. That's it!
Dimensions: 90x170 cm.

When you follow these methods to cut the fat, meat and poultry can be both a tasty and healthy part of your diet.
Meat and poultry can be valuable sources of protein and other important nutrients, but they can also be sources of unhealthy saturated fat. And meat and poultry with more fat tend to be tastier — something chefs know, which is why they often use higher fat cuts of meat and poultry in their recipes.
But before you copy their recipes, consider this: With a few simple tricks and tips, you can have tasty and healthy entrees. Learn how to choose the healthiest selections of meat and poultry and how to prepare them using low-fat methods. With these tips, you can reduce the fat even in higher fat marbled cuts.
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that most people cut back on saturated fat, which comes mainly from animal sources of food, such as red meat and poultry. When you do eat meat and poultry, choose lean versions. Also, consider eating fish and seafood more often — at least twice a week — instead of meat and poultry. Try a few meatless meals, too.
That's not to say you can't enjoy meat and poultry if you choose. But keep it healthy by selecting lean cuts and using low-fat cooking methods.

Between our Baltimore and Washington, DC, venues, more than 17,500 animals representing 900 species call the National Aquarium home. There are constant changes, additions, and more going on behind the scenes that our guests may not notice during their visit. We want to share these fun updates with our community so we're bringing them to you in our weekly Animal Update posts!
Check our blog every Friday to find out what's going on… here's what's new this week!
New BLUE Lobster
As of earlier this week, National Aquarium, Washington, DC became the new home for Toby, a rare blue lobster found off the coast of Maryland. Toby's particular blue hue is said to be a 1-in-2-million exception to the reddish-brown shade of most lobsters!
The lobster was caught last week by John Gourley on his fishing boat, the Pot Luck, near Ocean City, MD. Gourley decided to donate the lobster to National Aquarium, Washington, DC.
Although Toby is already at the Aquarium, he will not immediately be placed on exhibit due to standard precautionary measures regarding the safety of a new species. He will eventually be placed in our Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuaries exhibit, which currently houses three black sea bass and one tautog. We hope to have Toby on display by July 4.
According to the University of Maine Lobster Institute, Toby is blue due to a genetic variation that causes the lobster to produce an excessive amount of a particular protein. This characteristic is estimated to be present in every 1-in-2-million lobsters born.
Be sure to check back every Friday to find out what's happening!

Governor Cuomo, Majority Leader Skelos, and Speaker Silver Announce Landmark Agreement to Begin Process of Amending State Constitution to Allow Casino Gaming in New York
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos, and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver today announced a landmark agreement to begin the process of amending the state constitution to allow casino gaming in New York. Legalized casinos have the potential to create thousands of good-paying jobs while keeping the tourism and revenue that accompany gaming here in New York State.
"By taking these important first steps to legalize casinos we are finally confronting the reality that while New York is already in the gaming business, we need a real plan to regulate and capitalize on the industry," Governor Cuomo said. "This is a process that will ultimately put thousands of New Yorkers to work, drive our economy, and help keep billions of dollars spent by New Yorkers on gaming in the state."
Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos said, "I am pleased we have reached an agreement to move forward with a constitutional amendment that will give New Yorkers a say on whether we expand casino gaming in New York State. I thank Senator John Bonacic for his leadership, and look forward to negotiating the details of the implementing legislation prior to putting it out to the voters in 2013."
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver said, "Under the current system, gaming revenue is pouring out of the state as New Yorkers spend their entertainment dollars in neighboring states. We need the ability to keep that revenue here in New York. Today's vote represents the first passage of this amendment and we will work on accompanying legislation to further define this issue."
Senator John Bonacic, Chairman of the Senate Racing, Gaming and Wagering Committee said, "This is about creating jobs and enhancing tourism. While we have been down this road before, this time we have a much better driver. One thing we have learned is when the Governor says something, he means it. As Chairman of the Senate Racing, Gaming and Wagering Committee, I look forward to working with him to implement legislation necessary to create the thousands of direct and indirect jobs, along with the hundreds of millions of dollars in direct investment, which casino gaming can bring to the Catskills and elsewhere."
Today's agreement calls for no more than seven privately owned commercial casinos in New York.
Casino gaming already plays a significant role in New York State. Native Americans have five casinos in New York and nine racinos are located at race tracks across the state. New York also has 29,000 electronic gaming machines, more than Atlantic City and more than any state in the Northeast or Midwest. Additionally, New York is surrounded by states and Canadian provinces with legalized casino gaming. However, until now, New York has not taken steps to capitalize on the economic impact of gaming.
The Assembly and Senate must now pass legislation that begins the process of amending the state constitution, which will then be voted on by the next legislature and then ratified by the people. The earliest a public referendum can be held is 2013.

text: diver dave1 23 Posted March 1, 2013 Just finished an adventure with Shawn Heinrichs off Ilsa Mujeres. The goal was to photo sailfish and baitballs and we did a good bit of that. Seeing sailfish attack at close range is just beyond what the pictures show. And many of the pictures turned out rather nice. Have not had time to sort them as yet, only a review of a few. But the amazing part of the trip was the last day. Due to a wind shift, food for manta's was at the surface. Mobula and Manta's were everywhere. When I mean everywhere, standing on the flying bridge of the boat, using binoculars, there were manta's on the surface as far as you could see in every direction. The debate in the boat was if we could see more than 1000 or not at once on the surface. Not a bad topic for debate. They were far more shy around us than Manta's I have encountered before in Fiji and Hawaii so encounters with an individual was brief, at least for me. The milky water was not the best for photography so my Manta photos are not as clean as other locations but who can complain? We saw at least 11 Manta's do a full body breach with many of them doing a back flip with it. Jim Abernethy got a photo of a breach but I have not seen it so not certain how great the photo turned out. While the Manta's were everywhere, so were running sardines. They made the water look like it was boiling on the surface for as much as 500 m2 at a time. Often you could see a dozen patches that size at once. When they ran at you, it was amazing as they passed. I kept expecting to see something following them but never did. While watching the Manta's, a sailfish would swim by from time to time, as did not sea turtle.. He was as shocked to see me as I was to see him and he ran away immediately. I had never seen Mobula before but I have many photos and at least 7 together in some of them but sadly in milky water. When I get home to a better screen, perhaps some post work will help with it. If the water had been clear, we likely would not have seen the spectacle so just enjoying it for what it was. Quite an experience, to say the least. dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Worth It!
I appreciate the publishers making this available for purchase for e-Sword. They really should advertise this on their main site www.eStudySource.com to get make this resource more well known. In comparison to other resources I have purchased, this rates right up there with the best!
My two favorite resources for eSword are the Ultimate Cross-Reference Treasury by Jerome Smith and the Complete Word Study Dictionary. These two put together make eSword complete! The Word Study Dictionary brings all the related verses of a single Strong's word together and explains each briefly without getting too wordy while the UCRT brings all the similar verses bible together by linking similar phrases.
Making the Bible enjoyable to study is key!

Falling Deficit Alters Debate
Improving Federal Finances Lessen Pressure on Democrats, Republicans to Negotiate
Rising government revenue from tax collections and bailout paybacks are shrinking the federal deficit faster than expected, delaying the point when the government will reach the so-called debt ceiling and altering the budget debate in Washington.
The improving financial picture got brighter Thursday when mortgage-finance giant Fannie Mae—which received a big dose of taxpayer aid during the financial crisis—said it would pay the U.S. government $59.4 billion in dividends at the end of June. That sum, as well as $7 billion and...

Science Unleashed - The Museum goes to Narrabri
After a long drive through winding country roads in a Museum car filled to the brim with science 'goodies', we arrived in Narrabri tired but excited to put on the Australian Museum's Science Unleashed festival.
Wednesday, November 17 was the primary schools day of the festival. It was great to see all the young budding scientists identifying spiders by their webs with Nathan, discovering the properties of liquid nitrogen with Isabelle and having an electrifying experience with astrophysicist Anant and his van de Graff generator. By the end of the day, they were exhausted but smiling from ear to ear as they shook our hands and gave us hugs in appreciation for the wonderful day they had.
That night was a chance for the Science Unleashed team to get together with the all the local Narrabri sponsors and organisations involved and thank them for their support. After drinks and nibbles and a few words from the mayor of Narrabri, people enjoyed some time stargazing in the inflatable planetarium and finished off the evening with a taste of delicious liquid nitrogen ice cream.
The next day was the secondary students' turn to take part in all the exciting activities we had in store for them. Students extracted strawberry DNA with Dr. Rebecca, explored the night sky with Shayne in the inflatable planetarium, made biodegradable plastic with the Powerhouse Museum and took part in chromatography experiments with the UNSW chemistry team. Students also had a unique opportunity to talk to scientists and learn all about the huge variety of careers in science, engineering, technology and innovation at the EXPO.
We left Narrabri on Friday full of fond memories from our little science trip. We were so warmly welcomed by the Narrabri community and had such a great time with the students. We look forward to doing it all over again next week when the Australian Museum hits the road for Wagga Wagga.
