Science Bulletins: China's Acidic Farmland
With 7 percent of the world's arable land but 20 percent of the world population, Chinese farmers have, for decades, relied upon artificial fertilizer to boost their crops. These artificial fertilizers, while increasing overall crop yields, can also upset the chemical balance in the soil and cause it to become more acidic. Recently, researchers compared samples of Chinese soil from the 1980's and the 2000's and found that agricultural lands across the country have become considerably more acidic

Safe Beaches (MWV62)
By: MicrobeWorld Staying safe at the beach involves more than just sunscreen and lifeguards. Beaches and oceans are prone to unhealthy levels of bacteria which can cause sickness in people. Pathogens make their way into the water and onto the sand from many sources, including but not limited to, animal and human waste, agricultural and sewer runoff. Knowing when and how to avoid harmful bacteria is an effective way to prevent getting sick when visiting the beach.

Estos matrimonios permitían que el novio, feo y viejo pero muy rico, se casase con una muchacha por lo general bella, aunque pobre, quedando así ambos satisfechos, cuando menos la familia de la novia.

not from avoiding guilt, dirt, or shame but from receiving forgiveness
and healing. Our gospel from Mark 5 describes two women facing ritual
impurities of death and menstru
Science Bulletins: Early Human Walked Upright
Since a few 6-million-year-old bones of the species Orrorin tugenesis were discovered in Kenya in 2000, scientists have not been certain that Orrorin could walk upright. A new analysis of the thighbone by biological anthropologists at The George Washington University and Stony Brook University asserts that it was indeed bipedal, and walked with a slow gait not unlike 4-million-year-old "Lucy," the species Australopithecus afarensis.
The common ancestor of chimpanzees and humans was thought to l
