GroundhoG day
a Special Thank you To all our SponSorS!
Groundhog Day has been a tradition every year in America and
Canada since 1886. Tradition states that every year on February 2 a
groundhog will predict whether Spring will come early, or if we
will have to endure six more weeks of Winter. If the groundhog
comes out of his burrow and stays above ground, Spring will come on
time as predicted, but if the groundhog sees his shadow and is
scared back into the ground, we will have six more weeks of Winter
and bad weather. This holidays origins go back as far as the Roman
Empire. Soldiers in the Roman Legion would make the same prediction
with a similar animal, the hedgehog. If the hedgehog cast a shadow,
then what the Romans called The Second Winter would start. The most
famous of the weather-predicting groundhogs lives in Punxsutawney,
Pennsylvania, and goes by the name Punxsutawney Phil. His home, or
burrow, in Pennsylvania is called Gob-blers Knob. Phil was featured
in the popular 1993 movie, Groundhog Day. Other famous ground-hogs
are General Beauregard Lee in Atlanta, Georgia; Balzac Billy, in
Balzac in Alberta, Canada; and Jimmy the Groundhog in Sun Prairie,
Wisconsin.

The BeauTy of auTumn Fall, or autumn, is the third of four
seasons that we experience in a calendar year. The first day of
fall coincides with the autumnal equinox, when the sun is directly
over the equator in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Northern
Hemi-sphere, the autumnal equinox occurs around September 23, and
in the Southern Hemisphere, it occurs around March 21. For this
reason, au-tumn in the Northern Hemisphere falls in the months of
September, October, November, and sometimes early December. In the
Southern Hemisphere, the autumn months are just the opposite; they
occur late March through early June. The reason for the difference
is due to
the distance from the sun that each hemisphere is located. The
farther away from the sun, the cooler and shorter the days will
become. Fall is a very pleasant time of year. The temperatures are
cooler than summer, but they are not cold. Many activities occur at
this time because of the nice weather. Oktoberfest is celebrated in
many parts of the world, and Thanksgiving is celebrated in November
in the United States. The American football season begins in early
fall, as well as many other sport seasons. Outdoor activi-ties,
such as hay rides and camp fires, are popular. Animals begin to
gather food in the fall and make preparations for the winter
months. Birds begin to migrate south for the winter, and farmers
harvest their crops. The scenery changes as the leaves turn vivid
colors of orange and red before they (and acorns) fall off the
trees.

The human Tongue
a Special Thank You To all our SponSorS!
The human tongue is responsible for three major func-tions: the
sense of taste, to aid in speech, and to help digest food. The
tongue is comprised mainly of muscle cells, along with glands,
fatty tissue, and sensory cells (taste buds). The tongues roll in
digestion is the delivery of food into the esophagus; when you
swallow it helps to push the food down. To aid in speech, the
tongue touches different parts of the mouth, such as the teeth, or
the roof of the mouth, to create different sounds. The sense of
taste allows us to enjoy, or to stay away from, certain foods. The
tongue has tiny receptors in it called taste buds. These taste buds
allow us to sense the five types of taste: sweet, sour (or acid),
bitter, salty, and the recently discovered umami (found mainly in
Japanese cuisine). It has long been theorized that certain areas of
the tongue are responsible for tasting different things. Scientists
have now discovered that this is not entirely true. Certain areas
of the tongue are better at sensing different tastes, but all
taste buds can sense the five types of taste. The tip of the
tongue is best at tasting sweets. The sides of our tongue are good
at tasting sour things, such as lemons. The base of the tongue is
best at tasting bit-ter foods, and salt is best tasted right behind
the tip, or just beyond the sweet taste buds. Umami, which is the
taste of amino acids, or glutamate, has not been placed on the
taste map, since it is newly discov-ered. As time goes by, taste
buds diminish in number; hence, a younger person has a stronger
sense of taste than an elderly person. This is most likely the
reason that many adults enjoy things with stronger tastes, such as
coffee, than children who prefer sweets do.

The Island of Madagascar The African Island of Madagascar,
located in the Indian Ocean, is approximately 250 miles away from
the African mainland. The country closest to the island is
Mozambique and the two countries are separated by a body of water
in the Indian Ocean known as the Mozambique Channel. Madagascar is
the fourth largest island in the world, measur-ing almost 1,000
miles in length and 350 miles wide at its widest point. The Capital
of Madagascar is Antananarivo. The Republic of Madagascar also
includes several smaller, adjacent islands. The island has several
different climate zones which include the tropical rains of the
northwest, the dry southern area, and wet and hot western area. The
island has mountains, ridges, and valleys that separate these
different areas. The tallest moun-tain found in Madagascar is Mount
Maromokotro, which is 9,436 feet above sea level. The people of
Madagascar are considered to be members of the African community,
but their origins are more closely related to Indonesia. They are
referred to as being Mala-gasy--a name that refers to both the
people and the native language. The other official language is
French. Madagascars primary industry is farming; rice is the
primary food staple. Vanilla and coffee are produced for export;
Madagascar produces more vanilla than any other country in the
world. Today, Madagascar is a multi-party republic, but it was at
one time a French territory. Perhaps the most famous inhabitants of
Madagascar are not people, but the animals that are native to the
island. The lemurs of Madagascar are small, tree-dwelling primates
that are not found naturally in any other habitat in the world.
Another animal, found only on the Island of Madagascar, is the
fossa. The fossa is a meat-eating animal, much like a large cat. It
is one of the lemurs natural enemies. Some of the oldest dinosaur
fossils in the world have been found on Madagascar.

Money, or currency, is something that is used as a medium of
exchange. Over the centuries, money has come in all different
shapes and sizes. In the United States today, the dollar is the
primary form of currency in circulation. Until recent decades, most
types of monies have almost always been made from, or backed by, a
precious metal. This means that the coins themselves have been made
from silver or gold, or that there were precious metals in a
reserve to back up the worth of the money. In 1900, the United
States Government passed the Gold Standard Act. For every paper
dollar that existed, a certain amount of gold was kept in storage
by the U.S. Government. In 1933, the Unit-ed States began moving
away from the gold standard, because it restricted the number of
dollars that could be produced. Todays dollars, like most
currencies, are called fiat money which means they are backed by
peoples faith in government and not metals. Every country uses some
form of currency. Many countries have dropped their own form of
currency in favor of using the American dollar. This is known as
dollarization. In Europe, the primary form of currency in 16 major
countries since 1999 is the euro. The United Kingdom still uses the
pound system. Canada and Australia call their currencies a dollar
like the United States, but they are separate from the U.S. system.
Other coun-tries have different names for their money. Brazil has
the real; Mexico has the peso; China has the yuan; Japan has the
yen; Russia has the ruble; and South Africa has the rand.

Money, or currency, is something that is used as a medium of
exchange. Over the centuries, money has come in all different
shapes and sizes. In the United States today, the dollar is the
primary form of currency in circulation. Until recent decades, most
types of monies have almost always been made from, or backed by, a
precious metal. This means that the coins themselves have been made
from silver or gold, or that there were precious metals in a
reserve to back up the worth of the money. In 1900, the United
States Government passed the Gold Standard Act. For every paper
dollar that existed, a certain amount of gold was kept in storage
by the U.S. Government. In 1933, the Unit-ed States began moving
away from the gold standard, because it restricted the number of
dollars that could be produced. Todays dollars, like most
currencies, are called fiat money which means they are backed by
peoples faith in government and not metals. Every country uses some
form of currency. Many countries have dropped their own form of
currency in favor of using the American dollar. This is known as
dollarization. In Europe, the primary form of currency in 16 major
countries since 1999 is the euro. The United Kingdom still uses the
pound system. Canada and Australia call their currencies a dollar
like the United States, but they are separate from the U.S. system.
Other coun-tries have different names for their money. Brazil has
the real; Mexico has the peso; China has the yuan; Japan has the
yen; Russia has the ruble; and South Africa has the rand.

The BeauTy of auTumn Fall, or autumn, is the third of four
seasons that we experience in a calendar year. The first day of
fall coincides with the autumnal equinox, when the sun is directly
over the equator in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Northern
Hemi-sphere, the autumnal equinox occurs around September 23, and
in the Southern Hemisphere, it occurs around March 21. For this
reason, au-tumn in the Northern Hemisphere falls in the months of
September, October, November, and sometimes early December. In the
Southern Hemisphere, the autumn months are just the opposite; they
occur late March through early June. The reason for the difference
is due to
the distance from the sun that each hemisphere is located. The
farther away from the sun, the cooler and shorter the days will
become. Fall is a very pleasant time of year. The temperatures are
cooler than summer, but they are not cold. Many activities occur at
this time because of the nice weather. Oktoberfest is celebrated in
many parts of the world, and Thanksgiving is celebrated in November
in the United States. The American football season begins in early
fall, as well as many other sport seasons. Outdoor activi-ties,
such as hay rides and camp fires, are popular. Animals begin to
gather food in the fall and make preparations for the winter
months. Birds begin to migrate south for the winter, and farmers
harvest their crops. The scenery changes as the leaves turn vivid
colors of orange and red before they (and acorns) fall off the
trees.

The human Tongue
a Special Thank You To all our SponSorS!
The human tongue is responsible for three major func-tions: the
sense of taste, to aid in speech, and to help digest food. The
tongue is comprised mainly of muscle cells, along with glands,
fatty tissue, and sensory cells (taste buds). The tongues roll in
digestion is the delivery of food into the esophagus; when you
swallow it helps to push the food down. To aid in speech, the
tongue touches different parts of the mouth, such as the teeth, or
the roof of the mouth, to create different sounds. The sense of
taste allows us to enjoy, or to stay away from, certain foods. The
tongue has tiny receptors in it called taste buds. These taste buds
allow us to sense the five types of taste: sweet, sour (or acid),
bitter, salty, and the recently discovered umami (found mainly in
Japanese cuisine). It has long been theorized that certain areas of
the tongue are responsible for tasting different things. Scientists
have now discovered that this is not entirely true. Certain areas
of the tongue are better at sensing different tastes, but all
taste buds can sense the five types of taste. The tip of the
tongue is best at tasting sweets. The sides of our tongue are good
at tasting sour things, such as lemons. The base of the tongue is
best at tasting bit-ter foods, and salt is best tasted right behind
the tip, or just beyond the sweet taste buds. Umami, which is the
taste of amino acids, or glutamate, has not been placed on the
taste map, since it is newly discov-ered. As time goes by, taste
buds diminish in number; hence, a younger person has a stronger
sense of taste than an elderly person. This is most likely the
reason that many adults enjoy things with stronger tastes, such as
coffee, than children who prefer sweets do.

The Island of Madagascar The African Island of Madagascar,
located in the Indian Ocean, is approximately 250 miles away from
the African mainland. The country closest to the island is
Mozambique and the two countries are separated by a body of water
in the Indian Ocean known as the Mozambique Channel. Madagascar is
the fourth largest island in the world, measur-ing almost 1,000
miles in length and 350 miles wide at its widest point. The Capital
of Madagascar is Antananarivo. The Republic of Madagascar also
includes several smaller, adjacent islands. The island has several
different climate zones which include the tropical rains of the
northwest, the dry southern area, and wet and hot western area. The
island has mountains, ridges, and valleys that separate these
different areas. The tallest moun-tain found in Madagascar is Mount
Maromokotro, which is 9,436 feet above sea level. The people of
Madagascar are considered to be members of the African community,
but their origins are more closely related to Indonesia. They are
referred to as being Mala-gasy--a name that refers to both the
people and the native language. The other official language is
French. Madagascars primary industry is farming; rice is the
primary food staple. Vanilla and coffee are produced for export;
Madagascar produces more vanilla than any other country in the
world. Today, Madagascar is a multi-party republic, but it was at
one time a French territory. Perhaps the most famous inhabitants of
Madagascar are not people, but the animals that are native to the
island. The lemurs of Madagascar are small, tree-dwelling primates
that are not found naturally in any other habitat in the world.
Another animal, found only on the Island of Madagascar, is the
fossa. The fossa is a meat-eating animal, much like a large cat. It
is one of the lemurs natural enemies. Some of the oldest dinosaur
fossils in the world have been found on Madagascar.

Money, or currency, is something that is used as a medium of
exchange. Over the centuries, money has come in all different
shapes and sizes. In the United States today, the dollar is the
primary form of currency in circulation. Until recent decades, most
types of monies have almost always been made from, or backed by, a
precious metal. This means that the coins themselves have been made
from silver or gold, or that there were precious metals in a
reserve to back up the worth of the money. In 1900, the United
States Government passed the Gold Standard Act. For every paper
dollar that existed, a certain amount of gold was kept in storage
by the U.S. Government. In 1933, the Unit-ed States began moving
away from the gold standard, because it restricted the number of
dollars that could be produced. Todays dollars, like most
currencies, are called fiat money which means they are backed by
peoples faith in government and not metals. Every country uses some
form of currency. Many countries have dropped their own form of
currency in favor of using the American dollar. This is known as
dollarization. In Europe, the primary form of currency in 16 major
countries since 1999 is the euro. The United Kingdom still uses the
pound system. Canada and Australia call their currencies a dollar
like the United States, but they are separate from the U.S. system.
Other coun-tries have different names for their money. Brazil has
the real; Mexico has the peso; China has the yuan; Japan has the
yen; Russia has the ruble; and South Africa has the rand.
