What in the world is a 'wiki'?

What is a wiki?

A wiki is a type of Web site that allows site visitors to easily add, remove and otherwise edit and change
the site’s content, normally without the need for registration. The most popular of which is Wikipedia, which is the most popular Education/Reference Web site in the UK.


The term wiki can also refer to the collaborative software itself (wiki engine) that facilitates the operation of such a Web site. If you have an opinion on a given topic, a wiki will let you share this with the world, for example visit http://wikitravel.org/en/Paris, click on the ‘Edit’ link and start writing.
There is considerable debate over whether information found on wikis is factually accurate, as there is no (or little) formal editorial control. Instead, this control is put in the hands of the public. For example, if an eager Paris Hotelier describes their property as ‘the best hotel in Marais’, before long another visitor will correct or delete the entry.
In fact, a study by the British scientific journal, Nature showed that Wikipedia comes close to
Encyclopaedia Britannica in terms of accuracy.

Don't be shy - try a wiki today!

Amy Robson

Amy Robson, 17, of Burgh by Sands, near Carlisle in Cumbria disappeared on Good Friday while her parents were away.

Inquiries revealed she had taken a train to London and flown to Egypt, prompting a police search.

But on Tuesday Cumbria Police confirmed Miss Robson had been found in Egypt. It is believed she had been e-mailing the man for several months. It is believed they met during a family holiday last summer in the resort of Hurgahada on the Red Sea.

'Very relieved'

Cumbria Police discovered the sixth-former had bought a plane ticket to Egypt online and liaised with Interpol to track her down. A police spokesman said: "We received a call around 0300 BST this morning to say Amy had been found safe and well in Egypt.

"Her parents have been informed and I imagine they're very relieved.

The Manta Ray

Description & Behavior

The giant manta, Manta birostris (Walbaum, 1792), aka devil ray, Atlantic manta, and the Pacific manta, are the largest of the rays and are closely related to sharks. These harmless, majestic creatures have short tails and no stinging spines. They are very acrobatic and are able to leap high from the water. Remoras (Echeneida sp.) are frequently seen with mantas near the mouth and even inside the gill cavities, hanging out to feed on parasites on the manta's body and bits of the manta's food.

The Manta genus is what is commonly thought of as manta rays. There is also a Mobula genus that are smaller bottom-dwelling rays. To confuse things even further, two of the Mobula species, Mobula mobular and Mobula hypostoma, are also commonly referred to as the devil fish and lesser devil ray, respectively.

Ramses I.

Locks of hair from the Pharaoh Ramses II have gone on display at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo after being missing for three decades.

It follows their return last week after spending more than 30 years in France.

The small tufts of 3,000-year-old hair were stolen when the mummy was sent to France for conservation work in 1976.

The theft came to light when the hair was put up for auction on the internet last November. French police arrested a man over their sale.

'Wonderful mission'

Ramses II ruled Egypt from 1279 to 1213 BC.

Bath Bags

Make one of these pretty bags for someone you care about, fill it with bath beads, lotions, or even our homemade soaps. Use colorful washcloths or a pretty patterned material, topped off with a dainty ribbon.

parents & kids
 

This project is rated EASY to do.

Materials:

  • Washcloth or square piece of material the size of a washcloth
  • 18-24" of ribbon or lace
  • Hot glue OR sewing machinel

Instructions:

1. Lay the washcloth onto your work surface and fold in half.
2. Fold your length of ribbon in half.
3. Place the folded end of the ribbon inside the folded washcloth. You will place the folded end of the ribbon about 1/3 of the way down from the top of the washcloth, leave the folded end of the ribbon sticking out a little (see diagram where it says "ribbon end"). The rest of the ribbon should be on a slant, coming out the upper left side of the top of the washcloth, not straight up and down. This will allow for the ribbon to tie around the top of your bag when you are finished.
4. If you are using a sewing machine, pin up the sides of the washcloth and be sure to capture the ribbon before sewing along the bottom and long side, leaving the top open.
5. If you're using hot glue, simply hot glue the bottom and open side and be sure to glue the ribbon end inside as well.
6. Carefully turn the bag inside out.
7. Fill with bath beads, bath salt, or our Easy Homemade Soap.
8. Tie the bag closed with your ribbon.
9. You can add a couple of small silk flowers or dried herbs to the tied ribbon as a pretty accent if you wish!
