Has Fairtrade Asked for Enough?
In this discussion event, a range of speakers look back over 15 years of the Fairtrade Mark and consider whether the movement for a fairer trading system has been ambitious enough. Is Fairtrade catalysing broader social change? Should Fairtrade be working with big corporates and retailers? Is Fairtrade moving producers up the value chain? Is it time to make the rules harder? Adam Brett co-founded Tropical Wholefoods, and is a director of Fullwell Mill, and the Out of this World UK healthfood ret

How Marshall Field Succeeded "Sultana" at Helena, Arkansas Le développement de l'intelligence chez l'enfant - Olivier HOUDE (video)
Conférence du 25 janvier 2000 par Olivier Houde.
D'où détenons-nous ce précieux trésor qu'est notre intelligence ? Pour René Descartes (1596-1650), la réponse était simple : Dieu a déposé dans notre esprit, dès la naissance, des idées logico-mathématiques claires et distinctes, noyau de l'intelligence humaine. Quatre siècles plus tard, en ce début 2000, quelle réponse apporte la science à cette question ?
Développement et évolution du système nerveux (video)
Conférence du 24 janvier 2000 par Alain Prochiantz. On découvrit dans les années 1970, chez une mouche, la Drosophile, des mutations conduisant au remplacement de tout ou partie d'un organe par un autre organe. On observa, par exemple, des transformations de type antenne-patte, aile-balancier, ou aile-oeil. Ces mutations ont été dites homéotiques, l'organe d'un segment étant remplacé par l'organe homologue d'un autre segment. Les gènes homéotiques codent pour des facteurs de transc University of Minnesota snowball fight - 2011 51.

This cute video shows different modes of transportation and displays the matching word. Some of the vehicles include motor scooter, bike, unicycle, yacht, and submarine. Some of the lyrics include "How do you get from A to B? Over land, through the air, or on the sea". This is a good teaching resource for a thematic unit on transportation and/or community members. It is beneficial for young elementary students and/or special education students and helps to build background knowledge. (2:12)
Auburn University researchers and students are mapping thousands of utility meters, valves and fire hydrants along Alabama's Gulf Coast -- a project that will help communities recover quicker after hurricanes.
Walking along streets and beaches, they have covered 90 miles and recorded more than 12,000 utility points in Orange Beach and Gulf Shores, typing in the locations on advanced GPS units.
