Artemis was worshipped by the Greeks under various appellations, to each of which belonged special characteristics. Thus she is known as the Arcadian, Ephesian and Brauronian Artemis, and also as Selene-Artemis, and in order fully to comprehend the worship of this divinity, we must consider her under each aspect.ARCADIAN ARTEMISThe Arcadian Artemis (the real Artemis of the Greeks) was the daughter...

Dead animals and plants rot and decay. In swampy areas, for example, dead plants fall into the water. As they decay, they give off gas. Scientists call this biogas. Biogas comes from garbage, sewage, and manure, too.Biogas is a source of cheap energy for many villages in China. Many vehicles are fueled by methane, a mixture of biogas and carbon dioxide.Biogas is a valuable source of energy which is...

Plants primarily secrete nectar as an energy source to tempt pollinators to visit their flowers, but the secretion of this substance appears to have evolved long before flowering plants appeared. Many plants, including some ferns, secrete nectar from extrafloral nectaries - i.e. nectaries in other positions on the surface of the plant. Legumes, like the common vetch Vicia sativa in the image...

If you are on Facebook, I am sure you will find this hilarious The 76-year-old woman walked down the hallway of Clearview Addictions Clinic, searching for the right department. She passed signs for the "Heroin Addiction Department (HAD)," the "Smoking Addiction Department (SAD)" and the "Bingo Addiction Department (BAD)." Then she spotted the department she was looking for: "Facebook Addiction Department (FAD)."It was the busiest department in the clinic, with about three dozen people...

The land that we need for growing food is very important. We cant afford to spoil it. There are many ways in which farmers could make better use of the land and grow good crops without the help of factory-made chemicals. If it is farmed with care, the land will go on giving us enough food to eat for thousands of years to come.Sometimes, surface soil, or topsoil, is washed away by rain. This is called...

There was once a little girl who was very pretty and delicate, but in summer she was forced to run about with bare feet, she was so poor, and in winter wear very large wooden shoes, which made her little insteps quite red, and that looked so dangerous!In the middle of the village lived old Dame Shoemaker; she sat and sewed together, as well as she could, a little pair of shoes out of old red strips...

What Was The Pony Express?If you receive a message and pass it on to someone else, you are acting as a relay. Relays are useful for sending messages over long distances.In telecommunications, relays pick up a signal and make it stronger before passing it on.Without relays, the signal would be too weak to understand by the time it reached the end of its journey.One of the most famous relay systems...

"There is an emanation from the heart in genuine hospitality which cannot be described, but is immediately felt, and puts the stranger at once at his ease."--Washington Irving. Were we to look up the meaning of the word hospitality in the dictionary, we would find it defined as the act of receiving and entertaining guests kindly, generously, and gratuitously, without expectation of reward. According to such a definition, much that passes for hospitality in the social realm does not deserve...

There is no situation in which ones good breeding is so much in evidence as at the table. For that reason, mothers should begin to train their children in infancy to correct usage. As soon as a child is able to hold a spoon and fork, he should be taught how to hold them properly, and the training should be continued until the right habit is established. One should not be seated until the lady of the house is seated, unless especially requested to do so. Children should observe this rule...

There was a time – before the advent of synthetic fibres based on plastics and petrochemicals - when the wealth and security of nations depended on tough, coarse plant fibres that provided rigging for sailing ships and the raw material for countless other essential objects  - like sacks and sails for example - so explorers were always on the look-out for new supplies of this strategic material. Joseph...

I found this little insect, which is less than  two millimetres long, in a bag of walnuts imported from France. Its a psocid, commonly known as a booklouse, on account of the fact that these often turn up in the bindings of old books that have been stored in a damp place. They also like wallpaper and we used to find them behind peeling damp wallpaper in our house, before we stripped it all off...

Ive been writing this blog for about 3 months, and it has been an immensely rewarding experience.  Ive learned a great deal about all sorts of topics, had a chance to develop my writing skills, and enjoyed the virtual company of many wonderful science bloggers (almost all of whom are far more qualified than I, and whom I am very grateful to be able to observe and learn from.)I assume that Ive developed a small regular readership, as my traffic-tracking service indicates that I have...
