Day 41/67, Five Month GED: Cycles, and, “Wh” Questions

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

      Adulting often requires Public Library resources to answer important questions about issues ranging from the life cycle of an organism, as in today’s science reading, to election cycles.

Or resources like the old “Who’s Who…” books that recorded facts like the number of presidents who have been impeached, and why. 

     Questions like what, why, where, when, and of course, how, are key to understanding all sides of any issue, from biology to sociology, and our daily lives.  Librarians remind us to ask all of these questions, and help us dig for resources to find answers (or more productive questions!)

Com mudanças climáticas, tubarões se afastam de áreas de proteção no Atlântico

Mágica Mistura

O ano de 2021 marcou um novo recorde: pelo sexto ano consecutivo, as temperaturas dos oceanosaumentaram. Esse fenômeno é um dos protagonistas quando se fala em mudanças climáticas e tem uma porção de consequências preocupantes. Uma das principais é o aumento do nível dos oceanos, que acontece a partir da expansão térmica: à medida que as águas absorvem calor, elas aumentam de volume.

O aquecimento também pode levar ao derretimento mais acelerado das geleiras e a mudanças nos padrões de ventos e chuvas ao redor do planeta (que podem intensificar furacões e tufões), além de dificultar a absorção de carbono da atmosfera pelos oceanos.

Mas não para por aí. As mudanças de temperatura podem alterar diretamente o comportamento de espécies marinhas e, assim, bagunçar ecossistemas ao redor do mundo. Um exemplo recém-descoberto é o caso dos tubarões-tigre (Galeocerdo cuvier) no Oceano Atlântico – próximo à costa…

KFC Copycat Coleslaw

snapshotsincursive

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Country Casual Cravings: KFC Copycat Coleslaw! Instead of running into town to the local chicken drive-through for the national brand of coleslaw we’re all familiar with, you can make this popular side dish at home. It goes well on pork sliders, stuffed into fish tacos, or layered over sloppy joes. Knowing you made it fresh may ease your mind when it comes to being susceptible to all the germs running rampant right now. A container of coleslaw will last up to 5 days in the refrigerator, leaving you with many options for jazzing up a meal.

KFC COPYCAT COLESLAW

8 cups cabbage, finely chopped (or two bags pre-shredded coleslaw mix)
