Seed contamination is the mixing of seeds used for agriculture with other seeds which are not desirable or soil (which may carry seeds). An example would be mixing corn seed with weed seed. These contaminant seeds can be either common weeds or other crop seeds. In genetic engineering, seed contamination may refer to unwanted genes found in a seed, or pieces of DNA from other genetically engineered seeds. Contamination in Agriculture[edit]Contamination (in agriculture) most often occurs when seeds which will be sold to be planted are gathered. In this process, weed seeds may be caught with the product. Most larger seeds are found and removed, but sometimes smaller seeds may continue with the desirable seeds. When planted, the hidden weeds compete for space, water, and nutrients, which creates an annoying problem for farmers. If the weed is not native to the area and introduced by the seed, it could potentially become very invasive and harmful to other plants. Almost the same process can occur with flower seeds. When the seeds are gathered, weeds are also gathered. Since flower seeds are often sold throughout the world, there is a greater danger that a wild plant could be introduced to an area. Contamination in Genetic Engineering[edit]Contamination in this area is most likely caused by other genetically engineered seeds cross pollinating with unchanged seeds. The new seeds that are produced will have significantly altered DNA than the parent seed. This mutation could potentially then be passed down for generations. It is possible that the alterations could affect plant growth and development. Prevention[edit]Preventing seed contamination in agriculture is fairly hard, almost impossible. Better machines constantly help to reduce the number of foreign seeds gathered. Preventing seed contamination in genetic engineering is simply a matter of seperating "pure" seeds from contaminated ones. This will keep a supply of unaltered seeds for future use. If they are allowed to cross pollinate, it is possible that the altered traits will be passed down. Government agencies, especially within the United States, are setting up programs to stop seed contamination from genetic engineering. The Gone to Seedreport lays out a plan to:

Fleet problem was the term by the U.S. Navy to describe each of twenty one large-scale navel exercises conducted between 1923 and 1940. They are labeled with roman numerals, as in Fleet Problem I through Fleet Problem XXI. A twenty-second Fleet Problem exercise scheduled for 1941 was canceled because of the Second World War. The fleet problems were usually once a year exercises in which U.S. naval forces would engage in mock battles. One or more of the forces would play the part of a European or Asian navy. They were the culmination of the Navy's annual training maneuvers. Fleet Problems[edit]

Josef "Sepp" Allerberger is recognized as the second leading German sniper of WW II with a total number of recognized kills at 257. Josef served all of his time, 1943-1945, on the Eastern Front fighting the Russians. In one engagement alone he killed 58 Russians which prompted his recognition by higher and the eventual award of the Knight's Cross. Due to the German Army's strict accountability system he was never given full credit for his total number of kills. His total number of kills was most likely double of what is recognized.

Officer Candidates Class (OCC) - Like the Marine Corps other commissioning programs, PLC (Jr, Sr, Combined) Officer Candidates Class is another means by which one can qualify to become a commissioned Marine Corps Officer. The basic premise of the OCC is to train, screen and evaluate those candidates who have already graduated from a four year college or university. Candidates can expect training exactly of those in a PLC combined course. Courses are conducted throughout various times during the year, mainly in the summer and winter. Candidates receive training and academics on basic infantry tactics, Uniform Code of Military Justice, weapons handling, basic navigation, and Marine small unit leadership. Physical training in an OCC class is rigorous and demanding. Daily physical training (PT) along with PT events such as obstacle courses, endurance courses, stamina courses, individual movement courses, navigation courses, combat courses, and individual runs are conducted to evaluate a Marine Officer Candidate's level of physical fitness and command ability, as Marines are expected to "lead from the front." The OCC is usually a ten week course. After successful completion, Candidates are normally commissioned as 2nd Lieutenants in the Marine Corps Reserve. www.marineofficer.com Sources[edit]www.marineofficer.com71.64.28.242 10:10, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mud weight refers to the density of drilling fluid in a well bore, measured in terms of Mass/Volume e.g. lbs/gallon, lbs/cubic foot, kg/cumbic metre. Drilling fluids are important to lubricate and cool the drill head, prevent unwanted inflow of fluids into the well bore and to prevent collapse of the openhole and casing. It is important to balance the weight of the mud against the anticipated pressures down the well. Unexpected sudden jumps in the pressure regime can cause the inflow of fluids into the well which can lead to a dangerous blowout. Having to high a mud weight can cause loss of circulation of drilling fluids, infilling pores and damaging the drilled stratigraphy.

In the unoffical novels based in the Halo universe Dom or Spartan 118 is a experimental solider for the spartan 2 program. He is paired of with three other soliders to form the ultimate tactical squad. Dom is the leader of the unit and uses his modified sniper rifle which he personally created himself Although he works efficently with all squad mates he works bes with 069 who he refers to as his brother weather or not that is true we are unsure but they act as thoguh they are. The spartan squad in the origanal novels were more comedic but in the newer novels the spartans become more serious and put the mission ahead of themselves Abilities[edit]He displays incredable strength but has never used it in an actual one on one fight, many have fought him but only a few have seen him close up, this is because he attacks from long range and rarely ever engages in hand to hand combat.

o-y is a term developed from Northeastern Massachusetts in the Lowell area. The term is used in context of something bad happening (usually a strike or blow to the groin area). The term "o-y" came to be because that is what is usually uttered by the person as the bad event is occuring to him or her. "oh, why!" FACT: o-y also came to be as a variation of Nancy Kerrigan's "Why me?" however it was used inappropriately as "Oh why?" Sources[edit]http://www.uselessness.net, the book of no nonsense

Most catalogs tout the term "ringspun cotton" to describe the fiber used in their garments, but few people know what it means. "Ringspun" refers to cotton spun using the ring spinning method. This method of spinning came into being in 1828, when John Thorp patented the ring spinner, but did not actually catch on in wide use until the 1840s. It displaced other earlier spinning methods like the mule because it had the advantage of spinning the fiber continuously and winding it onto a bobbin for storage in one motion. Although it too was a continuous spinner, the flyer frame was largely abandoned after the Civil War in favor of the ring spinner. Today, ring spinning is the most widely used method for spinning fibers, and is used not just for cotton but for manmade fibers, whether they are fine or coarse. An illustration of a ring spinner can be seen at http://www.maths.usyd.edu.au/gal/jamesc/rsm.html.

Woomble took the name of his band from the quiet meeting place in Anne of Green Gables, his favourite book at the time – an ironic choice since the band was reknowned in their early days for their loud and chaotic gigs, during which Woomble would contort himself desperately into manic shapes behind the microphone. However as Idlewild matured, they have mellowed into a gentler band and Woomble’s deep and richly melodic voice, now more often heard singing rather than yelling, has on many occasions been justly likened to that of Michael Stipe from REM. He moved back to the United States after the success of Idlewild’s top ten album, The Remote Part, and lived in New York for some time developing a love for America whilst nurturing his pride in Scotland. Having hinted in an interview in More magazine in 2002 that he was keen on messy-haired bassist ladies, in late 2005 Woomble married his girlfriend Ailidh Lennon, who plays bass for the Glaswegian punk-folk band Sons and Daughters, a group that has supported Idlewild on several occasions. Projects outside of Idlewild In 2002, Woomble worked with the Reindeer Section on the album Son of Evil Reindeer, providing the lead vocals on the gentle ballad Who Told You. He also collaborated with Kate Rusby for her 2005 album Girl Who Couldn’t Fly which was nominated for Album of the Year at the 2006 BBC Folk Awards, singing backing vocals for the songs No Names, Wandering Soul and Fare Thee Well, which was nominated for Song of the Year. He is now working with songwriter Karine Polwart (to whom he presented the award for Horizon Award at the BBC Folk Awards 2005) and producer (and husband of Kate Rusby) John McKusker on his first solo album which is set to be released in mid-2006, around the same time as the upcoming Idlewild album. He performed live with John McKusker in Glasgow and with Karine Polwart, both in January 2006.

In 1748–9 he toured Europe with a friend Thomas Brand (late Brand Hollis), and, then during 1750–53, mostly on his own, during which he met many leading French philosophers and several Italian painters. Back in England he was an dedicated member of the Society of Arts, and chaired for a time its committee on the polite arts. A member of the Society of Antiquaries, he proposed Piranesi for membership of the Society of Antiquaries, gave numerous commissions to Cipriani, and, as amongst Canaletto's closest friends in England, commissioned six paintings from him. he became a fellow of the Royal Society in 1757. He was accused by some of being an atheist, Hollis was a rational dissenter, he favoured Caleb Fleming's ministry at Pinners' Hall. He was anti-Catholic and campaigned vigorously against popery; he became convinced that he was the intended victim of a Catholic plot. He had a wide network of friends, among them liberal churchmen such as Francis Blackburne and Theophilus Lindsey, John Wilkes, several peers, and especially the elder William Pitt. Hollis believed citizenship should be active: individuals had an important role to play in public life. He fulfilled this responsibility by charitable work as a governor of Guy's and St Thomas's hospitals, and a guardian of the asylum and Magdalen Hospital. Following his great-uncle Thomas's practice, Hollis was a great benefactor to American colleges, especially Harvard, sending donations and numerous books, often decorated with libertarian symbols. From 1755 his principal American correspondent was Jonathan Mayhew of Boston, and, after his death in 1766, Andrew Eliot. He also followed worsening Anglo-American political relations during the 1760s. Declining to participate directly in politics he published short pieces in the newspapers and printed and circulated colonial tracts in Britain, frequently subsidizing the printers to ensure their appearance. In particular he contributed to the successful campaign against the appointment of an American bishop by reprinting sermons by Mayhew and others. He also compiled The True Sentiments of America in 1768; it incorporated John Adams's Dissertation on the Canon and the Feudal Law, which he greatly admired. But he denied inciting the colonies to independence. Horace Walpole considered Hollis ‘as simple a poor soul as ever existed’. Cipriani, described him as being over 6 feet tall and Herculean in size & strength, possessing bright brown eyes, a short nose, and laughing mouth. He also remarked on his gentleness and sweetness of manner. Exhausted by the effort of what he originally intended as only a ten-year campaign to disseminate libertarian tracts, Hollis retired in 1770 to Urles Farm, at Corscombe, Dorset, where he owned about 3000 acres. He died there suddenly on 1 January 1774, and was buried in one of his fields and the grave ploughed over. He was unmarried, and after minor legacies left his estates to Thomas Brand, who added Hollis's name to his own.

The story of how an ordinary commuter can enter a Kafkaesque nightmare cleary demonstrates the real risk of the police threading together vague suspicions and tentatively related facts to build a case, inadvertently or otherwise, against an entirely innocent person. A similar chain of suspicions over entirely innocent activity led to the killing of Mr Jean Charles de Menezes a week earlier. Sources[edit]

Teen Missions International is an interdenominational evanagelical Christian mission organization that specializes in sending teenagers on short-term mission trips, usually during their summer or holiday breaks. Teen Missions is headquartered in Merritt Island, Florida but has bases situated around the world. Their training is a boot camp style jungle camp incorporating Bibilical and evangelical Christian themes. The training program is known as "The Lord's Boot Camp." The training lasts one to two weeks. The teams of teenagers and adult leaders are then commissioned to their project locations for another three to eight weeks. They end their project time at a one week debrief location, usually at one of multiple Teen Mission's bases around the world. Teen Missions runs year round mainly operating to prepare and support the short term teenager programs. Teen Missions also runs Bible,Missionary,and Work (BMW) training centers and orphanages around the world. It runs a conference center at its Merritt Island, Florida location and a campground nearby. Teen Missions also sponsers a touring group of international young adults known as the Missionaries To America and a life size replica of the Biblical Isreali tabernacle which is housed for tours at different locations throughout the United States. History Teen Missions International was started on May 6,1970 in Ohio. The founders included director Robert M. Bland, Bernie Bland, Gayle "Widder" Will, and Jim Person. Robert Bland came up with the idea for Teen Missions while serving as director for the local Youth For Christ. He seen a need for an effective program for teenagers to experience missions work firsthand. The initial program was started in Ohio in 1971 and was later relocated to a swampland area off of Hall Road in Merritt Island, Florida. The Florida swamp conditions were more like the jungle conditions that some of the teams would encounter in the remote areas where they were going for their project. The Teen Missions has been headquartered at the Merritt Island location for about 35 years. Teen Missions later launched oversea operations serving the national teenagers with a similar trainig program. Teen Missions currently has "Overseas Boot Camps" in Honduras, Brazil, Columbia, Ecuador, Australia, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Ukraine, etc. Teen Missions has been expanding their operations in many more countries every year, also providing orphanages and bible training schools. Teen Missions has reported that "over 40,000 teens and adults from the U.S. and Canada have taken part in its program having assisted with a variety of evangelistic and building projects with over 200 established missions in over 110 countries."About TMI Sources[edit]DLV68.76.92.97 21:25, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Spart is an art movement which came into being in 2002. Its main proponents are based in various countries throughout Europe. Spart essentially lies within a tradition of avant-garde art, although what sets it apart is its apparent understanding of the avant-garde as a genre, rather than an ideology. Most recent Spart activities include: The International Spart Insurgence, (Sofia, Bulgaria 2004) A performance action by Spartist Justin McKeown at the Ludwig Museum (Budapest, Hungary 2005) Sources[edit]http://www.spartaction.com
