1.3 The aspirin story As long ago as 400 BC the physician Hippocrates, from the island of Kos (now a popular Greek holiday destination) prescribed a concoction made from willow leaves to help relieve the pain of childbirth. Ever since then (and probably even before) herbal remedies based on the leaves or bark of willow trees have been used for the alleviation of pain and fever. In the 1840s the chemists of the day were able to extract the substance salicin from the bark of willow trees by treating it with boiling
NASA High School Aerospace Scholars Program 2014 - Week 6, White Team

VeggieTales-God Wants Me to Forgive Them!! Part 1
This video is a lesson on forgiveness. In the first episode, Jr. Asparagus has trouble understanding why he must forgive an irritating grape tourist family (who call themselves "the grapes of wrath") after they insult him. The second episode, a parody of Gilligan's Island, deals with the bumbling Larry the Cucumber when he gets a tourist boat lost on a deserted island. It moves a little faster than the first episode, and Larry's antics--always a highlight--are in top form. Along with the bounc
1.1.2 Sexual reproduction Sexual reproduction includes two distinctive processes: The production of haploid gametes, such as sperm and ova, which involves the specialized nuclear division called meiosis. The fusion of gametes at fertilisation, which results in the restoration of the diploid number of chromosomes. The relationship between these two processes, and the changes in chromosome number that each process brings about, is

National park service archeology program
This website provides access to the archaeology and ethnography program of the U.S. National Park service. It is a portal to the many projects across America and American legislation on archaeological matters. The projects are accessible via a map or textual hyperlinks from the "sites and collections" section. A special section of the site examines the Antiquities Act. The section entitled "peoples and cultures" presents instead all the ethnographic projects. Another special section worth lookin

We have developed the ideas of critical practice to demonstrate, through a constructive approach, that social work theory and practice are closely interlinked. In a close examination of an interaction, theoretical perspectives can be ‘pulled’ from an analysis of ‘talk’ or the communication and language used in a social work interview, as the reading by Cooper (2008) illustra What engineers can learn from animals - Dr Helen Czerski (UCL) Alive or Dead?

Activity 5
This website is the outcome of a project, part funded by the AHRC, to document the traces of colonial (and specifically British) settlement of South Africa’s Eastern Cape. Through photographs of the built environment of small towns in the area, documentary photographer Peter Metelerkamp examines both the continuing “visible influence of colonial presence” and traces its passing and contemporary social change (less than 10f the regions rural population is of white settler descen
The academic journal for 'North African and Andalusian Dialectological Studies' (EDNA) is a publication from the Spanish 'Institute of Islamic and Near Eastern Studies'. The journal is devoted to the study of the Arabic language in the Western regions of Maghreb and Alandalús, thus combining studies on contemporary and historical issues of Arabic dialects in these regions. Available on the site is the full-text content for all issues published between 1996 and 2004. Although Spanish is the main

Dr Helen Czerski (UCL Mechanical Engineering) explains how animals frequently use completely different sensing mechanisms, capable of giving them information about their world that we’re oblivious to. And now humans are starting to learn from the animals. Engineers are being inspired by the structures that animals have built into their own bodies, and this is leading to new materials and new solutions to long-standing problems.
