The Gift Of The Magi

One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. And sixty cents of it was in pennies. Pennies saved one and two at a time by bulldozing the grocer and the vegetable man and the butcher until one's cheeks burned with the silent imputation of parsimony that such close dealing implied. Three times Della counted it. One dollar and eighty- seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas.

There was clearly nothing to do but flop down on the shabby little couch and howl. So Della did it. Which instigates the moral reflection that life is made up of sobs, sniffles, and smiles, with sniffles predominating.

While the mistress of the home is gradually subsiding from the first stage to the second, take a look at the home. A furnished flat at $8 per week. It did not exactly beggar description, but it certainly had that word on the lookout for the mendicancy squad.

Lets Study English from Grade XI

THE LOVING MOTHER, MALINI is IN BED, thinking about a SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN because of FEAR and having a RECURRING DREAM about the WORN PATH that led her straight near the POPLAR FIELD where she found THE LOST DOLL that was lost after the THREE DAY BLOW whereas THE GARDENER was UNCHOPPING A TREE, ON THE VANITY OF EARTHLY GREATNESS and KEEPING THINGS WHOLE by chasing a CONCRETE CAT after THE NIGHTMARE LIFE WITHOUT FUEL that continued him to LOOK AT THE TEACUP that he got by making THE HOUSE CALL when his HEART LEAPED UP by hearing THE SPEAKING OF CHILDREN and then gave response --- OOPS! HOW'S THAT AGAIN?

The brain knows what the nose smells, but how?

Mice know fear. And they know to fear the scent of a predator. But how do their brains quickly figure out with a sniff that a cat is nearby?

It's a complex process that starts with the scent being picked up by specific receptors in their noses. But until now it wasn't clear exactly how these scent signals proceeded from nose to noggin for neural processing.

In a study to be published in Nature, Stanford researchers describe a new technique that makes it possible to map long-distance nerve connections in the brain. The scientists used the technique to map for the first time the path that the scent signals take from the olfactory bulb, the part of the brain that first receives signals from odor receptors in the nose, to higher centers of the mouse brain where the processing is done.

Scientists Use Quantum Mechanics to Show That Glass Will Melt Near Absolute Zero

Quantum mechanics, developed in the 1920s, has had an enormous impact in explaining how matter works. The elementary particles that make up different forms of matter -- such as electrons, protons, neutrons and photons -- are well understood within the model quantum physics provides. Even now, some 90 years later, new scientific principles in quantum physics are being described. The most recent gives the world a glimpse into the seemingly impossible.

Prof. Eran Rabani of Tel Aviv University's School of Chemistry and his colleagues at Columbia University have discovered a new quantum mechanical effect with glass-forming liquids. They've determined that it's possible to melt glass -- not by heating it, but by cooling it to a temperature near absolute zero.

Learn to moonwalk

The moonwalk is a kind of an illusion and takes alot of practice. Below are the best Moonwalk instructions I could find so why not have some fun and give it a try . 

Step 1. Find a pair of low grip shoes you could try to do it in your socks to start off with. 

Step 2. Make sure that the ground you use to practise to moonwalk on is also not too grippy, try and find a polished floor.

Step 3. Stand with both feet close to each other, left foot slightly ahead of the right (toes of right should be in line with half the left foot) 

Step 4. Now raise the heel of the right foot so that you are standing on the front of the right foot as if you are taking a step. The left foot must stay where it is (take care not to move it).

HTML tips

When you begin designing your HTML web pages, you may find that many HTML courses fall short when it comes to providing you with special effect HTML codes and tips. However, there are many special effect HTML codes that will enable you to enhance your visitors experience tremendously. When trying to decide what HTML codes to use within your web pages, keep in mind, if it doesn't enhance your web page, it's probably best to leave it out, as the more special effects you add to your page, the longer your page will take to load. In addition, prior to using any of these HTML codes and tips within your web pages, you must ensure that the effect you're trying to achieve doesn't irritate your visitors. For example, using HTML codes that load web pages within web pages may crash your visitors browser. In addition, using excessive pop up windows, frames and placing scrolling text within the status bar can be very irritating and cause your visitors to leave your web site and never return. Please ensure you select your special HTML codes very carefully and use them to your fullest advantage.
