As Manitoulin's largest island, it is said to be the world's largest island in a lake in an island in a lake. The island has no permanent residents, but there are some cottages. In 1883, the island was purchased for $60 by William McPherson, a Toronto deputy chief of police.[2] Forty-five years later, in 1928, the island was sold to Joe and Jean Hodgson.[2] The Hodgsons established a tourist camp on the island.[2] According to local tradition, Treasure Island was originally named Mindemoya, because of the distinctive shape of the island: rising at one end to a long flat hill, with a steep drop to a short low area at the other end.

Bide et Musique - webradio Rucksack-Tourismus: Grundschüler entführt Pinguin aus Zoo Einmal Köln Richtung Siegerland und zurück - ein kleiner Pinguin war bei der Klassenfahrt von Grundschülern dabei. Diethard Altrogge, Leiter des Forstamtes Siegen-Wittgenstein, begleitete die Klasse aus dem Siegerland letzte Woche als Fachreferent. Er sagte der "Westfälischen Rundschau", es sei ihm aufgefallen, dass ein Junge auf der Rückfahrt mit einer komplett durchnässten Hose im Bus gesessen habe. Zunächst sei er von einem Malheur ausgegangen, obwohl der Bus eine Bordtoilette hatte. Auf Drängen der Mitschüler habe der Junge dann aber einen kleinen, tropfenden Pinguin aus dem Rucksack gezogen, den er auf dem Schoß gehalten hatte. Der Bus sei umgekehrt und habe das Tier unversehrt wieder zurück in den Kölner Zoo gebracht. jol/ddp News verfolgen HilfeLassen Sie sich mit kostenlosen Diensten auf dem Laufenden halten: alles aus der Rubrik SchulSPIEGEL

Lesbian Sex Positions For Dummies A girl's got to start somewhere hasn't she!? I'm sure we've all been in situations where we're left wondering what exactly the side-show contortionist we've hastily bedded is trying to achieve as she vaults across the room via the chandelier (what can I say, the décor at my house is a little pretentious!). Let's face it; it doesn't always quite go to plan. I for one have ended up in many an unladylike position, some of which have ended painfully; not a heartbroken sobbing wreck, but more like concertinaed into the splits and wedged between a wall and a bed. Believe me; nobody looks pretty from that angle! So, here are a few basics as a refresher for us all and as some handy (no pun intended) hints and tips for you lovely ladies who haven't given it a bash yet... Jump right in girls, the water's warm! I have it on good authority that this is currently called 'The Student' because statistically (that's right, Mathematics... it must be true!) Yes. Everybody say "Ahhhhhh!" Enough said.

Pick an assistant below and mash some animation buttons! Our favorite is Links the cat. During lunch a few weeks ago we thought it would be cool to have a fully functional Clippy that can be embedded in any website. We started thinking about the developers' state of mind when they created Clippy. We built Clippy.js over the weekend to share that fun and whimsy with everyone, and to remind people to try new and risky things, even when they seem silly. We built Clippy.js over the weekend to remind people to try risky and silly things. Agents are composed of multiple sets of animations. Add this code to you to your page to enable Clippy.js. All the agent actions are queued and executed by order, so you could stack them. Thanks to the awesome Cinnamon Software for developing Double Agent, the program we used to unpack Clippy and his friends!
No Globes: Miniature power plant spews a cloud of black pollution when shaken This limited edition snow globe titled “No Globes” was designed by UK-based collective Dorothy to protest the construction of coal-fired power stations back in 2009. Instead of the usual happy snow globe scene with pristine white snow particles, there’s a power plant spewing a cloud of black pollution. Via Who Killed Bambi Tanganyika laughter epidemic The Tanganyika laughter epidemic of 1962 was an outbreak of mass hysteria – or mass psychogenic illness (MPI) – rumored to have occurred in or near the village of Kashasha on the western coast of Lake Victoria in the modern nation of Tanzania (formerly Tanganyika) near the border of Kenya.[1] The laughter epidemic began on January 30, 1962, at a mission-run boarding school for girls in Kashasha. The laughter started with three girls and spread haphazardly throughout the school, affecting 95 of the 159 pupils, aged 12–18.[2][3] Symptoms lasted from a few hours to 16 days in those affected. The teaching staff were not affected but reported that students were unable to concentrate on their lessons. The school was forced to close down on March 18, 1962.[4] The school from which the epidemic sprang was sued; the children and parents transmitted it to the surrounding area.

Cummingtonite Cummingtonite is a metamorphic amphibole with the chemical composition (Mg,Fe2+)2(Mg,Fe2+)5Si8O22(OH)2, magnesium iron silicate hydroxide. Monoclinic cummingtonite is compositionally similar and polymorphic with orthorhombic anthophyllite, which is a much more common form of magnesium-rich amphibole, the latter being metastable. Cummingtonite shares few compositional similarities with alkali amphiboles such as arfvedsonite, glaucophane-riebeckite. There is little solubility between these minerals due to different crystal habit and inability of substitution between alkali elements and ferro-magnesian elements within the amphibole structure. Name and discovery Fibrous, brownish crystals of cummingtonite - Locality: Dannemora Mine, Uppsala Län, Uppland, Sweden Cummingtonite was named after the town of Cummington, Massachusetts, where it was discovered in 1824.[1][2] It is also found in Sweden, South Africa, Scotland, and New Zealand.[2] Chemistry Occurrence References Further reading
