This articles discusses the different equipment options for low light wedding photography, along with pros and cons for each option.

Agriculture – From Yearly Dawn, Till Nowadays
Jan 14th 2012, 13:59

Thousands of years ago, humans relied on hunting, fishing, and gathering to provide food for their families. They looked to find edible plants for food. Soon people realized they could grow these plants. They also found they could make clothing out of plant fibers, or threads. People used cotton and flax to make clothing. This was the very beginning of farming. People had to learn how to prepare, or cultivate the soil for planting crops. They learned how to breed, or grow plants. They learned how to process, or change plants to grow what they wanted. Agriculture is an approach of growing crops – later on it matured into a science. Agriculture has used advancements in technology to improve the methods for growing and harvesting crops.

Farm Equipment

A farmer plants crops in shallow trenches. Sowing the seeds is another way to describe the process of planting. Furrows are shallow trenches that look like narrow grooves in the ground. The farmer turns over the dirt to mix nutrients into the soil. Plants need various types of nutrients to stay healthy. Farmers also turn the ground in order to loosen the soil and give seeds room to grow.

One invention designed to break up soil is the plow. A plow is a piece of metal shaped liked a V in the front. It digs furrows when dragged along the ground. A farmer pushes the plow from behind or pulls it from the front. He may also use an animal like a horse or an ox to push or pull the plow. A tractor is used to pull many farming machines. Tractors are a type of vehicle which has large wheels to keep it from sinking in mud.

Commonly Cultivated Plants

Sickles and Reapers

Farmers need to harvest the crops, or cut them down and gather the usable portions after they have grown to full size. People can cut crops by hand. One invention they can use to make the job easier is a sickle. A sickle is a tool with a sharp curved blade. Harvesting with a sickle is hard work and takes a long time. The reaper is another invention. This is a machine that cuts wheat and other grains using many blades. It works much faster than a sickle.

Cotton Gin

Following the harvest, there is sometimes more work to do. Farmers must process some crops before they are used. For example, cotton grows in balls with many small seeds. The cotton fibers must be unwound and someone must remove all the seeds. People then make thread from the cotton. A worker will weave the thread into fabric for clothes.

Chemicals

Fertilizers

Fertilizers are substances that add nutrients to the soil to help plants grow. Natural fertilizers have been used for centuries. They include manure, or the excrement of animals. They also include guano, which is made of bird and bat droppings.

Compost is a mixture of decaying plant material, and people use it as a fertilizer. Some farmers use chemical fertilizers to help their crops grow. Chemicals are things which may be found in nature or created in a laboratory.

Protecting Plants

Some farmers use poisons to protect their crops from weeds and insects. Herbicides are chemicals that destroy unwanted plants. Many people spray herbicides to kill weeds. Pesticides are small chemical compound that kill insects. An aphid is a type of insect that will eat the leaves of a farmer’s crops. Other types of insects that can destroy plants are locusts and weevils. Farmers will spray pesticides to prevent these insects from destroying their crops.

Organic Farming

Organic farming is a natural way of farming. It is the practice of raising plants, especially fruits and vegetables, without the use of synthetic pesticides. Many people believe using harsh chemicals on plants or produce can be harmful to the health of the humans who regularly use the foods which have been exposed to chemicals. Organic farmers use only things naturally occurring in nature, such as manure to help plants grow. Organic farming does not use chemical fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides.

Cooking With Kids – Tips for Success in the Kitchen – Part 1
Jan 14th 2012, 16:33

Inviting children to cook with you in the kitchen can be a wonderfully productive and fun experience. Good planning maximizes the benefits of this time.

Here are some practical guidelines that are helpful when cooking with children – whether you are cooking with 20 children, 10, a handful, or even just at home with your own.

It is very important to note that if you are hired as an instructor for a program in which you are cooking with more than a handful of children (for example as a cooking specialist at a summer camp, an after school program, or an evening teen program), you should expect to have counselors or assistants on hand to help you with supervision and with the group’s cooking agenda.

First and foremost, be sure to find out about allergies. Also be aware of your organization’s food policies (nowadays – by far – the majority of schools, day care centers, and community centers are nut-free).

And, as with any project, find out the goals and expectations of the cooking program. Get as much information as you can about your exact responsibilities, about the facility you will be working in, about the resources that will be available for you, etc. In order to be efficient, you’ve got to know what you have to work with.

Even at home, and regardless of the age of children you are cooking with, it’s a best practice to review kitchen guidelines for safety and for sharing before the start of any activity. Intuitively, rather than you spitting out the rules, it is a good idea to ask your children to think of (or recall) points to remember. Having children come up with “the rules” makes it easier for them to remember “the rules.”

Jot down your children’s ideas answering the questions, “What do we need to do, and how do we need to act when we are cooking with each other?” Especially in a classroom situation, make sure these values are understood by all and are agreed upon. If possible, post these guidelines to which all members of the class are expected to adhere. Taking the time to brainstorm with your children and to create a “community agreement” establishes clear values that help positively structure the dynamic of your group.

Always be positive when framing these “rules.” Jot down what kids should keep in mind to do, versus what they should not be doing. For example: “clean hands,” “walking feet,” “inside voices,” “sharing,” “listening,” “taking turns,” “ask a grownup before tasting,” “clean up after a mess,” “have fun,” “be nice,” “help each other out,” etc.

When you are first establishing these guidelines, if you feel you need to emphasize a specific point, ask the children “Why?” “Why do we need to remember this/that?” “Why is this so important?”

Lastly, at the start of each session – before the start of any activity – present to the children and counselors/assistants, the plan for that day’s cooking session to get everyone on the same page. If needed (and this will depend on each class’s dynamic), this time can also be used to review points in your established “community agreement.” Basically, set the stage for the session’s events.

Venice, Italy – The Bird Lady
Jan 15th 2012, 00:02

Venice is an old and somewhat eccentric city in Italy. Built long ago on marshlands, I was surprised to find myself spending my first night in the city with the bird lady. Rent a Room As is common with many cities in Europe, one can rent a room in a private home at the train station. The advantage of renting a room is you get to live with a family and the costs tend to be a lot cheaper than a hotel room. If you’re lucky, the family will take a liking to you and haul you around to see the “real” city you are in.. I had just arrived in Venice on a train from Paris. It was late, I was tired and in no mood to be picky about lodging. As I walked up to the rent a room desk, I had two priorities: sleep and a shower. The elderly lady at the desk smiled at me and we got down to business. Apparently, arriving in Venice around midnight in the middle of August wasn’t a wise move. I was told most everything was sold out, but there were two rooms still open. The first was 45 minutes outside of the city while the second was just off Piazza San Marco, the central square you see in all the movies. I booked the San Marco room, given a map and off I went. As it was late and I was tired, it never occurred to me to ask why a room so close to Piazza San Marco was open when everything else was taken. As I walked through the very narrow streets of Venice, I was too tired to really care. Following the map, I walked into the square and started heading toward the glass shops at the far end. The walk through the otherwise delightful square was a killer on my headache as the mini-orchestras dueled the night away. Reaching the end, I found the little alley indicated on the map and through I went into more winding little streets. Eventually, I found the door and gave it a knock. Like a bad Monty Python movie, a little viewing slot opened, eyes looked at me and my backpack, the door opened and I was literally pulled inside. Before me stood a little older lady with wild hair. At this point, I started to understand why the room was available. Turns out I was wrong, as “Michelle” turned out to be very sane and nice. Michelle gave me the run down on the house and her basic rules. She went into a long diatribe about keeping the doors closed because of something she didn’t know the English word for. I kept nodding and we proceed to the door that would let us into the house proper. Inside the door, the house took on an entirely new atmosphere. Michelle was a big fan of birds. She had little yellow birds, red birds, black birds and I swear a few humming birds. None of them were in cages. I had booked a room in an informal Aviary! Fortunately, my room had been bird-proofed by keeping the door closed. As I lay in bed, however, I could hear chirping and wings flapping as the other guests flew around the rooms. Over the next two days, I never got use to opening the door and seeing birds whipping by or perched and staring at me. I imagine this is where Alfred Hitchcock picked up some of his ideas. As far as I know, Michelle is still in Venice and still renting out rooms. If you’re a bird enthusiast, just ask for the bird hotel at the train station in Venice.

Cooking – Tips For Better Barbequing
Jan 14th 2012, 23:58

Having a backyard barbeque with friends and family is one of life’s great pleasures. Whether you own a gas grill or charcoal grill, barbequed foods taste great. To help make your cooking experience even more enjoyable, I’ve listed some tips that all backyard chefs should be aware of.

o Before firing up the grill and cooking on it, be sure to spray the grill with a non-stick spray. The last thing you want to have happen is for your chicken to stick to the grill and tear all apart when attempting to turn it over. Another benefit of using a non-stick spray is that it makes clean up so much easier.

o Before you cook your foods on the grill, make sure the grill
