The Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, says his government will surrender all chemical weapons to international experts. He claims that the rebels might want to block access to the weapons and trying to obtain said weapons might be dangerous. Is this statement trustworthy? How will the experts handle this information to insure safety and peace?

The ongoing Civil War creates many threats and challenges to the UN chemical team. It would be interesting to do a follow up to see how successful they have all been.

This site allows you to look at hundreds of questions written by other people. There are many categories of questions, everything from Biology, to Mathematics, to computers, to Physics. Each question is answered by an expert in that field, and you can create your own questions if you are curious about something. Each question can have many replies, so you can see all sides to the answer, and it gives you a deeper understanding of the topic. I find this a useful source because it gives you interesting information by showing you popular questions. I find this site reliable because it is a government site with college professors responding, and because the information they give is consistent with what I get if I research outside of the site. I would recommend this to anyone doing scientific research for school, or to anyone interested in science in general.

The British invention will transform the lives of millions who have to endure injections of insulin every day. Health experts say that the artificial pancreas is as good as a cure because it means patients will no longer have to manage the condition themselves.

The Obama Administration and the EPA have officially announced their intent to cut current coal power plant carbon emissions by forty percent. Experts in the field of power production say that these new regulations are impossible to achieve without extremely expensive prototype-based carbon capture technology. These new regulations will certainly have a huge impact on the cost of electricity in the coming years.

So do you see a parallel to the fire regulations you have been researching? Do you see a similar impact on cost? Will these costs impact in any way the enforcement of these regulations? Do the benefits outweigh the costs?

This AFS site gives in-depth cultural information about all of the countries that AFS sends students to. I used it to learn about family life, entertainment, and the customs of Peru, where I will be studying abroad next year. I know that this site is reliable, since it is published by AFS, and I know this organization is very well-established and an expert in the field of cultural study. The information is also pretty non-biased, since even though they are trying to convince you, as a student, to study abroad in this country, they also talk honestly about what might be difficult for foreigners. This site was more helpful to me than the other sites I'd used to learn about what life in Peru might be like next year, since it was written with long-term living in mind, instead of tourism or short volunteer trips. And because this site included small details you might not get from reading a guidebook, such as what dating is like and how to greet people, it made me feel as if I was already in the culture, and I could start to imagine, for the first time, what it would be like to actually live there.

In this newly revised and updated edition of his highly acclaimed field guide, renowned nature photographer and tracking expert Paul Rezendes brings the fields and forests to life with his unique observations on North American wildlife and their tracks and sign.

Memphis, TN - The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) recently announced that Krone will be presented a coveted 2015 AE50 award for the new EasyCollect 603 corn head. Companies from around the world submit entries to the annual AE50 competition and up to 50 of the best products are selected by a panel of international engineering experts.

Discover 70 live species, over 100 interactive experiences, and seasonal changing exhibits and events --- all exploring the Ecology, Culture, History, and Opportunity for stewardship of the Lake Champlain Basin. ECHO Lake Aquarium and Science Center in Burlington VT is a place where I have had the pleasure to go for school trips as a younger kid. I also had the opportunity to go on October 23, 2014. Being part of the Pathways Program I get lots of opportunities to meet and learn from experts on my topics. Today I got to meet Steve Smith, an aquarium keeper at the Echo. Shadowing him and his interns helped me understand the deeper care and maintenance of keeping an aquariums. I learned that when feeding your fish watch the way they act when its feeding time. If they stay at the top waiting for food you should slowly give more until they act uninterested. I also learned that the graits in the filters need to be cleaned one or more a week. Only rinse with water because the there is a certain bacteria that the fish need. I also have to look at ammonia in the water. If there is too much I need to drain 2/3s of the water and add new water to the tank. I found it very helpful to hear this information and I look forward to going again soon.
