“Sometimes I like to look at spiders,” she said. |
Maria Wilson, site director, planned the kits after her own sons did similar projects as part of Boy Scouts. |
Maria Cuellar, 9, was surprised by her own creativity when she finished her project of a person inside a house. |
Jeremy Dimmick, 8, was thinking more practical when he made a bird house out of his egg carton. |
The projects were judged by grade, then an overall winner was determined. The grand-prize winner received a super soaker sprinkler and the first-place winners from each grade chose a prize from among Silly Putty, a visor or a football. |

BHOPAL HAAT will host the Cotton and Craft Fair from April 7 for Self Help Groups (SHGs). A calendar of three-month long schedule of the Bhopal Haat has also been worked out. |
The cotton and craft fair would begin at the Bhopal Haat from April 7 and would be followed by the Saras Mela in the same month. A Vaishakh Mela in the month of April, ‘Grishm Utsav’ and regional Saras Mela in the month of May and handicraft fair in the month of June have also been planned. |
Subsequently, directives have also been sent to the district Panchayats, asking them to notify self-help groups from each of the districts to participate in these fairs. According to an official release, the letter sent to the district Panchayats states that fairs for SHGs would be organised at the Bhopal Haat round th... |
Similar fairs would also be organised at the regional and district levels for which the district Panchayats have been asked to draw action plan. Panchayat and Rural Development Minister Narendra Singh Tomar said these steps had been taken in order to ensure that work of the self-help groups in remote areas reached the ... |
A target of helping at least 500 SHGs by giving them financial support for their products has been set. Instructions for recognising minimum five self-help groups from each district have been given, he added. |
Tomar also informed that financial aid from banks would also be given to self-help groups after assessment of their products, concerned officers had been instructed in this regard. Appointment of a nodal officer had also been proposed for this purpose. |
The nodal officers must ensure participation of a minimum of five SHGs in the scheduled fairs, he added. The nodal officer would accompany the SHGs to the fairs in order to assess their works and drawbacks, to enable financial aid, Tomar said. |

Mullet schools are showing up on the beaches around Kangaroo Island. And perhaps following them have been some big bronze whaler sharks taken in recent weeks. |
Shane at Emu Bay Fishing Charters posted a photo of some happy customers with a feed of snapper and whiting, so the snapper must still be out there. You just have to get up early and use plenty of berley. |
There are a few straggler southern bluefin tuna still being caught out of Victor Harbor, so they could also remain off the south coast. |
Tommies are in good numbers and good size in Kingscote, so worth a look at the jetty at night. Blue crabs still in good numbers around Nepean Bay. A bag limit is even possible off the Kingscote jetty with tide movement essential to getting a good feed. |
The King George whiting are starting move off the summer grounds and shallower blue holes into deeper water, so it might pay to venture out a bit further. |
They can still be found in the shallows though and the incoming tide is best as always. |
Black bream are also always an option on the Island, but please release these fish as they are just hanging in some pretty low rivers at the moment. |
There are very long-lived fish, do not stand up well to fishing pressure and are only available in a few of the Island's rivers. |

4 Will Jalapeno Plants Grow Back After Being Broken? |
Although chili and other types of peppers (Capsicum spp.) are widely considered annuals because they are frost-tender and easily propagated by seed, they are actually perennials that can survive for years when given the proper growing conditions. This means it is possible to overwinter a prized pepper plant indoors. Ch... |
Select a healthy, disease-free parent plant that shows no symptoms a nutrient deficiency, like leaves or stems with yellow or purplish discoloration or stunted or distorted growth. |
Fill a flat or other container with 2 to 3 inches of a well-drained rooting medium with low fertility. A suitable rooting medium could contain half peat moss and half sand, perlite or vermiculite. The container must have adequate holes to ensure good drainage. |
Moisten the rooting medium slightly and poke well-spaced holes in the medium to accommodate the cuttings using a pencil or similar utensil. |
Cut a 2- to 4-inch section of a stem tip off of the parent pepper plant. Each cutting should contain at least two nodes -- a small swelling on the stem where the leaves emerge. Make the cut just below a node. Disinfect the knife or other tool used to make the cuts between uses to prevent the spread of disease. |
Snip off the lowest pair of leaves on the cutting. |
Dip the bottom of the cutting in a rooting hormone, if desired, to encourage more uniform rooting. |
Insert the cutting into a prepared hole in the rooting medium so the lowest remaining leaves are just above the surface of the medium. Gently firm the medium around the cutting and mist it in thoroughly so the material settles around the cutting. |
Cover the container with a clear plastic or glass cover or enclose the container in a clear bag. This helps to maintain high relative humidity around the plants. |
Place the container in an area wit bright, indirect light with an air temperature around 65 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. |
Set heating coils under the container, if desired. Keeping the rooting medium 5 to 10 degrees warmer than the air encourages better rooting. |
Mist the cuttings regularly so the medium is moist but not wet. Never allow the rooting medium to dry out completely or the cuttings to wilt. |
Transplant the pepper cuttings into larger containers with a well-drained, fertile potting soil once roots an inch long develop. |

Heavy snow is causing misery for travellers but allowing others to take “beautiful” photos across the region this morning. Email your photos here or tag us on social media. |
Hundreds of schools in Suffolk have closed and there is severe travel disruption after several inches of snow fell overnight. |
There are treacherous driving conditions reported across the whole region, from the A14 and A12 to rural and urban roads. |
A yellow Met Office warning for snow was originally in place until 11am in the region, but has now stretched until 11.55pm tonight. |
After Kevin Spacey was excised from the upcoming movie All the Money in the World (his scenes to be reshot with Christoper Plummer), I modestly proposed that Hollywood remove and reshoot Spacey’s scenes in Beyond the Sea and The Usual Suspects, and destroy all copies of American Beauty — that hackneyed attempt at a tak... |
Keillor and his entire body of work from “A Prairie Home Companion” and “Writer’s Almanac” have been effectively erased from the archives of MPR, along with the work of all the other storytellers, singers, poets and production staff who made the shows successful. |
The MPR panic is what you would expect from a Stalinist regime dealing with figures who have fallen out of ideological failure. . . . |
If you only chose to partake of art, music, and literature created by morally upstanding persons, you’d quickly come to the end of what’s available. Museums would empty out. Concert halls would fall silent. Bookstores would have to be repurposed as yoga studios, and movie theaters as hipster churches. The unfortunate t... |
For some on the radical left, Dreher’s list of consequences is probably a feature, not a bug. On college campuses, there are said to be those who don’t want “Whitey” and his culture to be studied, except perhaps as a specimen of evil, with safe spaces available if the examination becomes too intense. |
I hear from readers who grew up in Communist countries, and who tell me that they sense more and more the same atmosphere of their youth coming into existence here. This erasing of Keillor and his enormous and valuable creative legacy from history has to be setting off their internal alarms. |
It has set off mine. |

Tel Aviv — Doctors tell us that the frenzied pace of the modern 24-hour lifestyle — in which we struggle to juggle work commitments with the demands of family and daily life — is damaging to our health. But while life in the slow lane may be better, will it be any longer? It will if you’re a reptile. |
A new study by Tel Aviv University researchers finds that reduced reproductive rates and a plant-rich diet increases the lifespan of reptiles. The research, published in the journal Global Economy and Biogeography, was led by Prof. Shai Meiri, Dr. Inon Scharf, and doctoral student Anat Feldman of the Department of Zool... |
The international team collected literature on 1,014 species of reptiles (including 672 lizards and 336 snakes), a representative sample of the approximately 10,000 known reptiles on the planet, and examined their life history parameters: body size, earliest age at first reproduction, body temperature, reproductive mod... |
“There were aspects of this study that we were able to anticipate,” said Prof. Meiri. “Reproduction, for example, comes at the price of great stress to the mother. She experience physiological stress, is unable to forage efficiently, and is more vulnerable to her surroundings. This reflects evolutionary logic. To relat... |
The team also discovered that herbivores — lizards with a plant-rich diet — lived longer than similar-sized carnivores that ate mostly insects. Ingestion of a protein-rich diet seemed to lead to faster growth, earlier and more intense reproduction, and a shortened lifespan. Herbivorous reptiles were thought to consume ... |

The latest confrontation with Iraq has ended with another promise from Saddam Hussein to allow unfettered access for United Nations weapons inspectors. The apparent peaceful resolution is welcome, and can be credited to President Clinton's renewed willingness to back diplomacy with the threat of force. But this must be... |
Too many times before Iraq has tried to slip free of its commitments to cooperate in the elimination of its stocks of biological and chemical weapons and the missiles that can deliver them. Iraq's interference with the inspectors has repeatedly forced the United States to build up military forces in the Persian Gulf re... |
Despite its latest promise, Iraq is still far from fulfilling its responsibilities. Thousands of chemical weapons and tons of deadly germ-warfare agents remain unaccounted for. The only way to bring the inspections process to a timely conclusion and prepare for an eventual end of the international economic sanctions is... |
That kind of full cooperation and compliance must now become the principal goal of the Security Council with regard to Iraq. Mr. Hussein must be made to understand that no further toying with the inspections process will be tolerated. If Baghdad again attempts to restrict inspections, Washington, with support from Brit... |
If Iraq is truly prepared to cooperate, the day may come when the chief U.N. inspector, Richard Butler, can report that all prohibited weapons have been located and destroyed and a reliable long-term monitoring system, including continued surprise inspections, put in place. At such a time, the United States must be pre... |
Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho told Chelsea fans "I'm still number one" after being heckled during his side's FA Cup loss at Stamford Bridge. |
Mourinho, sacked twice by Chelsea, was called 'Judas' by fans during United's 1-0 defeat, responding by pointing three fingers in reference to the three league titles he won with the club. |
He said: "Until the moment they have a manager that wins four Premier Leagues for them, I'm the number one. |
"Until then, Judas is number one." |
N'Golo Kante's low shot was enough for Chelsea to beat holders United - who had Ander Herrera sent off in the first half - and set up a semi-final against Tottenham at Wembley. |
Mourinho, 54, is Chelsea's most successful manager after winning titles over two spells in 2005, 2006 and 2015. |
He said: "They can call me what they want. I am a professional. I defend my club. |
"I'm really proud of my players, I'm really proud of Manchester United fans." |
Mourinho would not discuss the Herrera red card, calling referee Michael Oliver "a referee with fantastic potential". |
He said: "I don't want to go in that direction. In four matches he [Oliver] has given three penalties and a red card. I cannot change that. I shook his hand and said many congratulations. |
"Mr Oliver goes home and he can do his own analysis, because I don't want to analyse his work." |
Mourinho's Blues counterpart Antonio Conte accused United of targeting Hazard during the match. |
Last night's Chelsea v Man Utd FA Cup quarter final game had a peak TV audience of 7.7m - the highest of the season so far. A further 1.1m also watched live online on the BBC Sport website. |
