Goats Are One Of The Oldest Domesticated Species!

The domestic goat (Capra aegagrus hircus) is a subspecies of the wild goat from Southwest Asia and Eastern Europe. The goat is a member of the Bovidae family and is closely related to the sheep. Goats can be found on every continent except Antarctica.

The domestic goat COLOR has cloven hooves, a ME! long beard on its chin, a short tail and horns that grow upward from the head.

Many dairy goats are hornless. Their hair is straight with a wooly undercoat during the winter. Goats weigh approximately 100 to 120 pounds as an adult. Their diet as a browser includes fresh or dried grasses, foliage of trees, shrubs, bushes and various other plants. Most goats live in herds of about 5-20 members.

For thousands of years, goats have been used for their milk, meat, fiber and skins all over the world. Goats were often passengers on the ships of early explorers and voyagers, including the Mayflower. They provided travelers with milk and their meat.

Goat meat is called chevon. Goat's milk is easily digested and has greater protein and fat content than that of cows.

Have you ever heard of cashmere, angora or mohair? These are all fibers from different types of goats! Most domestic goats are an ivory color, but they can range in many colors depending on the breed. The most common domestic breeds are the Angora, Cashmere, French-Alpine, Nubian, Saanen, and Toggenburg.

In the last century, goats have also gained some popularity as pets.

Female goats are referred to as a “doe,” or “nanny.” Males are called a “ram” or “billy” and their offspring are called “kids.”

Goats don’t actually consume garbage, tin cans or clothing, although they sometimes eat items made primarily of plant material which can include wood. Their reputation for doing so is most likely due to their intensely inquisitive and intelligent nature.

They will explore anything new or unfamiliar in their surroundings. Goats explore primarily with their prehensile upper lip (adapted for grabbing) and tongue. This is why they investigate clothes sometimes by nibbling them!

Footprints "Walk a little slower, Daddy," said a child so small.

"I'm following in your footsteps and I don't want to fall.

Sometimes your steps are very fast, Sometimes they're hard to see; So walk a little slower, Daddy, For you are leading me.

Someday when I'm all grown up, You're what I want to be; Then I will have a little child Who'll want to follow me.

And I would want to lead just right, And know that I was true; So, walk a little slower, Daddy, For I must follow you." ~ Author Unknown

Richard M. Nixon 37th President of United States, 1969-1974 Richard Milhous Nixon was born on January 9, 1913 in Yorba LInda, California.

He grew up very poor. Nixon attended public schools and graduated in 1930. He went to college at Whittier College and Duke University Law School before beginning the practice of law. In 1940, he married Patricia Ryan and they had two daughters, Patricia and Julie. During World War II, Nixon served as a Navy lieutenant commander in the Pacific.

On leaving the service, he was elected to Congress from his California district. In 1950, he won a Senate seat. Two years later, General Eisenhower selected Nixon, at age 39, to be his running mate in the presidential race. Nixon, a republican, was elected Vice President. He ran for President in 1960 but lost to John F. Kennedy.

Then in 1968, he was elected President.

His accomplishments while in office included revenue sharing, the end of the draft, new anti-crime laws, and a broad environmental program. The Environmental Protection Agency was created in 1970. As he had promised, he appointed Justices of conservative philosophy to the Supreme Court. One of the highlights of his first term as president occurred in 1969, when American astronauts from Apollo 11 made the first moon landing.

Some of his most important achievements came in his quest for world stability. His summit meetings with Russian leader Leonid Brezhnev produced a treaty to limit strategic nuclear weapons. In January 1973, he announced an agreement with North Viet Nam to end American involvement in Indochina. In 1974, his Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, negotiated disengagement agreements between Israel and its opponents, Egypt and Syria.

But the Watergate scandal brought divisions to the country and led to his resignation.

When Nixon ran for reelection in 1972, it was discovered that five people from the Committee to Reelect the President had broken into the Democratic National Headquarters at the Watergate business complex. Two reporters for the Washington Post, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, uncova massive Nixon joins Presidents Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford, and ered cover-up of the Jimmy Carter at the White House, 1981

break-in. President Nixon had installed a taping system and when the Senate asked for tapes recorded during his time in office he refused to hand them over due to executive privilege. The Supreme Court did not agree with him and he was forced to give them up. The tapes showed that while Nixon was not involved in the break-in he was involved in its coverup. Faced with almost certain impeachment, Nixon announced on August 8, 1974, that he would resign the next day to begin "that process of healing which is so desperately needed in America." He retired to San Clemente, California.

In 1974, Nixon was pardoned by President Ford.

In his last years, Nixon gained praise as a statesman and took many foreign trips. He had authored many books on his experiences in public life and on foreign policy. Nixon suffered a stroke on April 18, 1994, and died four days later at the age of 81.

The Importance of Rivers What is a river? A river is freshwater flowing across the surface of the land, usually to the sea. Rivers flow in channels. The bottom of the channel is called the bed and the sides of the channel are called banks.

Rivers begin at their source in higher ground such as mountains or hills.

Rain water or melting snow collects and forms tiny streams. When one stream meets another and they merge together, the smaller stream is known as a tributary. It takes many tributary streams to form a river. As the river flows downstream, it gains more water from other streams, rivers, springs, added rainfall and other water sources. The majority of rivers eventually flow into a larger body of water such as an ocean, sea or large lake. The end of a river is called the mouth.

There are some rivers that begin where a natural spring releases water from underground. Another source of some rivers is a lake. For example, the source of the River Nile is Lake Victoria in Burundi. Another example is if rain water can’t sink into the ground because the ground is too wet already, the water then forms a bog. The water flows out of the bog to form lakes and streams.

Here Are Some Reasons That Rivers Are Very Important To Us • Water - Rivers carry water and nutrients to areas all around the earth.

They play an important part in the water cycle and act as drainage channels for surface water. Rivers drain nearly 75% of the earth’s land surface.

• Habitat - Rivers provide excellent habitat and food for many of the earth’s organisms. Ducks, voles, otters and beavers make their homes on the river banks. Many rare plants and trees grow by the rivers such as reeds and bulrushes. Birds like kingfishers as well as bears eat small fish from the river. In Africa, animals like antelopes, lions and elephants go to the rivers for water to drink. The river deltas have many different species of insects, mammals and birds that make it their home.

• Transportation - Rivers provide travel routes for exploration, commerce and recreation.

• Farming - River valleys and plains provide fertile soils. Farmers in dry regions irrigate their cropland using water carried by irrigation ditches from nearby rivers.

• Energy - Rivers are an energy source. During the early industrial era, mills, shops and factories were built near fast flowing rivers where water could be used to power machines. Today steep rivers are used to power hydroelectric plants and their water turbines.

Ariel View Of The Missouri River Quick River Facts • The term upriver (or upstream) refers to the direction of the river’s water source. Downriver (or downstream) refers to the direction in which the water flows, towards the end of the river.

• The Ganges (Northern India), Yangtze (China) and Indus (Pakistan) rivers are three of the most polluted on earth.

• The Colorado River travels through the south western United States and north western Mexico. It is home to the famous Hoover Dam. • The longest river in the United States is the Missouri River that stretches to around 2,340 miles in length which is slightly longer than the Mississippi River. These two combine to form the longest river system in North America reaching 3,902 miles. It is also the fourth longest in the world!

• The longest river in the world is the Nile River. The Nile River reaches around 4,132 miles in length. Located in Africa, the Nile River lies in the following countries: Kenya, Eritrea, Congo, Burundi, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia. It has a huge significance in regards to Ancient Egypt.

Most of Ancient Egypt’s historical sites are located along the banks of the Nile River including cities such as Luxor and Cairo. The Nile Delta in Northern Egypt is where the Nile River drains to the Mediterranean Sea. It is around 100 miles in length and spreads out over 149 miles of coastline. It is rich in agriculture and has been farmed for thousands of years.

Around 40 million people, which is approximately half of Egypt’s population, live in the Nile Delta region.

The Aswan High Dam was built in 1970 to help regulate the flooding of the Nile River. Before the dam was built, years that had high levels of water would flood out crops while years of low level water would produce famine and drought. The dam helps control these levels.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No Place Like Homeâ&#x20AC;?

Do you enjoy sleepovers? What about summer camp? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to hang out with friends or have a new adventure. For some kids though, this can be a scary experience. Kids want to go and have fun with friends, but once there, they miss their own bed, parents and everything thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a part of their home. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called being â&#x20AC;&#x153;homesick.â&#x20AC;?

Homesickness is not a sickness like the flu or a cold. It means someone is upset, sad, scared, has a headache or stomach ache, or is just miserable. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been homesick and had to leave an event early, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alright. A lot of people get homesick even grown-ups. But there are some things you can do to make yourself feel less homesick, so you can stay at the sleepover or camp and enjoy your time away from home. â&#x2013;ş Make friends at camp. Many kids are all feeling the same way you are at first. They need to meet someone to have fun with also.

â&#x2013;ş Keep busy. The more you do, the less time youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to feel homesick. Even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not completely into what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing at first, you may soon start to have a good time. When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing something fun, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not thinking about home. â&#x2013;ş Bring a few familiar things with you. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to camp, take your pillow, bring pictures of your family or pet, or take your favorite blanket with you. Having familiar things with you is a great comfort. â&#x2013;ş Keep in touch. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going overnight to a sleepover, plan to make a phone call to your parents that evening and then again in the morning when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to be picked up. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to camp, plan to write letters, emails or text messages to stay in touch. â&#x2013;ş Be positive. Look at the bright side of being at camp! There are so many things to do that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to do at home. Make up your mind to enjoy these experiences while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re there. â&#x2013;ş Talk to a camp counselor. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re away at camp, talk to a camp counselor if you start to feel uncomfortable. He or she may have more ideas to help you feel better. Your counselor may even be able to match you up with other campers who are feeling the same way so that you can begin to have fun together!

Lobster Line Up Lobsters are famous for being a yummy food. But did you know there are many kinds of lobsters and their cousins? Maine lobsters, the ones we think of, are â&#x20AC;&#x153;clawedâ&#x20AC;? lobsters. Distant cousins are seen above and are called â&#x20AC;&#x153;slipper lobsters.â&#x20AC;? There are also â&#x20AC;&#x153;spinyâ&#x20AC;? lobsters that have long spines in front rather than claws. Even though they may look alike, they are not actually that closely related. The red lobsterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closest cousins are actually crayfish that you could find in the river in your town!

Lobsters are invertebrates, which means they do not have a backbone like you or I do. They have a hard exoskeleton that protects them. In order to grow larger they have to â&#x20AC;&#x153;molt,â&#x20AC;? or shed their exoskeleton and grow a new larger one. Sometimes you can find an entire molt with legs and all!

If they stay safe, lobsters can live a very long time. The largest lobster ever found weighed 44.4 pounds! While most lobsters are well camouflaged for their environment, every once in awhile fishermen will find a bright blue lobster that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blend in at all!

Lobsters have copper in their blood, so it is actually blue! Unlike our blood that is red, they have the special copper compound, and some say even anti-freeze in their blood.

Try This!

Make a lobster you can eat!

What you will need: 8 small pretzel sticks a twinkie 2 fortune cookies 2 jellybeans 1. Place a twinkie on a plate. 2. Take 8 small pretzel sticks and stick 4 on each side for legs. 3. Use 2 jelly beans to make eyes. 4. Take two fortune cookies and place them in front for claws.

You have your very own lobster!

Most of the time, lobsters just slowly walk along the ocean bottom trying to find food.

But, they have the ability to flee predators very quickly by jetting backwards curling and uncurling their tails. They have even gotten up to 11 miles per hour!

Now that is fast food!

A purple lobster!?

Purple lobsters are cool additions to any reef tank.

They like hiding in crevices and caves, and will peek out at you to say hi.

If they get scared, they will use their tails to shoot themselves backwards quickly to escape!

Cheesy Pull Aparts

â&#x20AC;˘ 1 pound fresh peeled baby carrots â&#x20AC;˘ 2 tablespoons water â&#x20AC;˘ 1/4 cup raisins â&#x20AC;˘ 2 tablespoons butter â&#x20AC;˘ 3 tablespoons honey or sugar â&#x20AC;˘ 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon â&#x20AC;˘ salt to taste

Place the carrots and water in a microwaveable dish. Cover, and microwave on high until the carrots are tender, about 10 minutes.

Stir about half way through. Drain the water. Stir in the rest of the ingredients, cover, and microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes more.

Cover the frozen bread dough and let it thaw at room temperature. Cut the cheese into 32 pieces. When the bread has risen and has doubled in volume, divide the dough into 32 pieces.

Wrap each piece of the dough around a cube of cheese and press the edges together to seal it. Dip the dough balls in the melted butter and arrange them in an oiled loaf pan. Cover and allow to rise again. When the dough has doubled in size, bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes, or until the top is browned.
