Read ePub ebooks online : Bookworm ePub reader A free platform for reading ePub books online. Bookworm is now closed. Bookworm, “an experimental platform for storing and reading ePub-format books online,” is closed as of March 31, 2012. Developed by Threepress in 2008, and brought into O'Reilly Labs in early 2009, Bookworm has been an interesting and useful experiment—we learned a lot, and heard from users that they appreciated the service. The ebook ecosystem has changed dramatically in the past two years, and many good alternatives have emerged, so we’ve concluded that it’s time to end this particular experiment. Here are ePub reading environments we think are good alternatives for Bookworm users: AldikoBooki.shBlueFire ReaderEPUBReaderiBooksMegaReader

How To Speak Italian And Not Sound Like A Tourist In Italy If you’re heading to Italy, don’t be the person who doesn’t know a word of italian! Remember the old saying : when in Rome, do as the Romans do. That means that it’s worth the effort to try and fit in with the Italians and, like anywhere else, rhetoric is the key to getting things done – just as long as you know how to use it. Learning Italian, after all, is not the exactly the same thing as learning how to speak Italian. Here are some tips on how to speak Italian and not sound like a tourist in Italy. “Allora” All-or-ah Not often used as a conversation starter, ‘allora’ is perfect for keeping interest during debate and discussion. “Boh” Bo Clearly, slang is one of the most important aspects of fitting in. “Andiamo” On-Di-Ah-Mo You’ll be rushing when you get to Italy. “Basta” Bas-Ta You’re tired, it’s been a long day, or your full and the waiters are still bringing out more food. “Quanto Costa” Ku-anto Cost-ah Was this small lesson useful?

World's Virtual Library (140,000+ FREE eBooks, eTexts, On-L Why not just do a Google search instead of looking here? This is more direct, indexes collections specifically, and won't throw out red herrings. Memphis Univ School Library "...an astonishing number of electronic books...from an equally astonishing number of sources ... impressive. Very impressive..." Lindsay Periera, REDIFF.COM (INDIA) Pick of the Weekend "One major area of difficulty in the electronic book area of publishing has been bibliographic control. This is a big improvement over the sites I've been recommending to students. 8 hair care treatments you can make yourself | MNN - Mother Nature Network - StumbleUpon Eggs, yogurt and honey are, at first glance, all components of a tasty breakfast — but they also happen to be hair treatment ingredients, and affordable, all-natural ones at that. And they're not the only ones. Did you know, for instance, that the oils in avocados more closely resemble our own skin's oils than any product in the beauty aisle does? Or that the mild acidity in lemon is an effective — and gentler — alternative to chemical-laden products? For all hair types "The [raw] egg is really the best of all worlds," says Janice Cox, author of "Natural Beauty at Home". To use: For normal hair, use the entire egg to condition hair; use egg whites only to treat oily hair; use egg yolks only to moisturize dry, brittle hair, Cox says. For dull hair Styling products (as well as air pollution) can leave a film that both saps moisture and dulls shine — but dairy products like sour cream and plain yogurt can help reverse this damage. For itchy scalp For limp or fine hair For oily or greasy hair

Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwiches Admin Note: Since this post, I’ve remade these using a better technique. Be sure to check out my Breakfast Sandwiches Revisited. After I made baked chicken nuggets a few weeks ago and explained my deal with Betsy (if she wants something from McD’s, I try to make it for her), I got a few emails saying that the only meal some people will eat at McDonald’s is breakfast. This struck me as kind of odd because most of the stuff on their breakfast menu is even easier to reproduce at home than the stuff on their other menus. Take their classic Egg McMuffin for example. I was able to make some breakfast sandwiches in no time that I would put up against their version any day of the week. Yum. The Rundown I made 12 breakfast sandwiches for this post because they are really easy to freeze and they reheat nicely. My total bill for these came to $16.00 or about $1.33/sandwich. Here’s some interesting facts though about what a bit of time and that extra $3 gets you: Whole Grains. Directions Cooking the Eggs
John Hopkins Researchers Make Stem Cells From Blood Cells Stem cells are a miraculous cellular material that can be used to repair nerve damage, or even grow brand new organs. Researchers from Johns Hopkins Hospital may have discovered a new way to create stem cells using your very own blood cells. This newly developed method could actually revert adult red blood cells back into stem cells as though they came from a 6-day-old embryo. Technically, scientists have developed reverted blood cells back into stem cells before by using viruses to deliver state-reverting genes. The new process developed by the Johns Hopkins researchers, as published in PLoS One, circumvents the risky need for viruses by using plasmids, rings of DNA that, according to Johns Hopkins, "replicate briefly inside cells and then degrade." Once the plasmids attach themselves to the blood cells they insert four additional genes into the cell. The research sounds promising, to say the least.
Bottle Drip Irrigation | I prefer to have the bottle standing right-way-up as I think it looks nicer and it keeps debris out of the bottle thus keeping the holes from blocking. The materials: * 2 litre plastic soft-drink bottle or water bottle * Sharp small screwdriver, pointed hole-maker or drill This can be used in container gardening, raised bed gardens and open vegetable gardens. Using your pocket knife, make 2 small slits in the bottom of your bottle. Dig a hole next to your tomato plant. This will slowly deep-water your tomato plants and most other vegetable plants. You can learn more about this on another website. Only two very small holes are needed at the lowest place on the bottle. I prefer to leave the lids off. Place bamboo stakes next to each bottle. Here I am making another hole slightly higher up the bottle. However, if I remove the lid, water will come out this hole as well as the holes in the base. You can make larger holes, and partly fill the bottle with coarse-sand or soil to slow the flow.
