1. SPACE IS COMPLETELY SILENT There is no atmosphere in space, which means that sound has no medium or way to travel to be heard.

2. THE HOTTEST PLANET IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM IS 450° C. Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system and has an average surface temperature of around 450° C. Did you know that Venus isn’t the closest planet to the sun? That is Mercury.

You would think that Mercury would then be the hottest, but Mercury has no atmosphere (which regulates temperature), resulting in big fluctuations.

4. THE SUN’S MASS TAKES UP 99.86% OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM. The Sun accounts for 99.86% of the mass in our solar system with a mass of around 330,000 times that of Earth. Did you know that the Sun is made up of mostly hydrogen (three quarters worth) with the rest of its mass attributed to helium. If the Sun had a voice would it be high and squeaky from all that helium?

5. ONE MILLION EARTHS CAN FIT INSIDE THE SUN The Sun is large enough that approximately 1.3 million Earths could fit inside (if squashed in) or if the Earths retained their spherical shape 960,000 would fit.

7. THE SUNSET ON MARS APPEARS BLUE Just as colors are made more dramatic in sunsets on Earth, sunsets on Mars, according to NASA, would appear bluish to human observers watching from the red planet. Fine dust makes the blue near the Sun’s part of the sky much more visibilke, while normal daylight makes the Red Planet’s familiar rusty dust color the most perceptible to the human eye.

8. THERE ARE MORE STARS IN THE UNIVERSE THAN GRAINS OF SANDS ON EARTH The universe extends far beyond our own galaxy, The Milky Way, which is why scientists can only estimate how many stars are in space.

Weekly Bean However, scientists estimate the universe contains approximately 1,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000 stars, or a septillion. While no one can actually count every single grain of sand on the earth, the estimated total from researchers at the University of Hawaii, is somewhere around seven quintillion, five hundred quadrillion grains. That is an awfully big sand castle!

Sherlock Holmes and John Watson are camping on a case they are investigating. After putting up the tent, having a good dinner, and drinking a bottle of wine, they go to sleep.

In the middle of the night, Holmes wakes up and nudges his faithful friend.

“Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see,” Holmes says, shivering.

“I see millions and millions of stars, Holmes,” replies Watson.

“And what do you deduce from that?”

Watson ponders for a minute.

“Well, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.

Somewhere in the universe, with so many billions of stars similar to the sun, there is a high probability that some of these stars have Earthlike planets. And assuming the Earth is typical, some may have developed intelligent life. It means that humanity, may not be alone in this vast cosmos. What did you deduce Holmes?”

Holmes is silent for a moment before he replies.

“Quite,” he says. “Though my more immediate concern is the fact that, clearly, someone has stolen our tent.”

STRANGE BUT TRUE

* Valentina hot sauce was named for the intrepid Valentina Ramirez Avitia, who at 17 posed as a man to join the Mexican Revolution. She made it all the way to the rank of lieutenant before being expelled upon the accidental discovery of her braids. * American fashion model Jeremy Meeks’ police mugshot was so good that he got a modeling contract while still in jail. * In 1524, a wooden statue of the Virgin Mary at Latvia’s Riga Cathedral was accused of being a witch. At its trial by water it was thrown into the Dvina River, where it floated, resulting in a guilty verdict -- and burning. * Missing a remote? Try looking where you last sat: A 2011 study found that 49% of the time it was in a couch, while 8% were found in the bathroom, another 8% in a dresser drawer, 4% in the fridge/freezer (your guess is as good as ours on that one) and 2% turned up outside.

He survived the experiment after six hours of surgery and a two-week hospital stay. * The wood frog can hold its urine for up to eight months. * Violets can be smelled for only a few moments at a time because their scent comes from ionine, which shuts smell receptors off after simulating them.

Least Competent Criminal

As over-the-road truckers protested COVID-related mandates in Canada’s capital city, a 20-year-old Akron, Ohio, man wanted to get in on the action. So, on Feb. 7, he called in a bomb threat -to the Putnam County Sheriff ’s Office, in Ottawa ... Ohio. The man said he was going to set off a bomb in Ottawa, then called back a second time and said he’d been shot, The Lima News reported.

“When he found out he was talking to Ohio and not Canada, he said he hadn’t been shot but was simply trying to waste (Canadian authorities’) time and resources because he didn’t agree with their mask mandate,” said Sheriff ’s Office Cpt. Brad Brubaker. He also admitted there was no bomb. “You’d think with him being from Ohio, the 419 area code might have rung a bell,” Brubaker added.

Turns out, ADN Canino, a Spanish company that maintains a database of canine DNA, works with authorities all over the country -- mostly in the service of finding owners of lost dogs and preventing abuse, but now also tracking down offenders of poop-scooping laws. The woman in this case was quick to register her pet with ADN in case he was ever lost. Authorities in Benalmadena took samples and matched her dog -- and she’s out $570.

National imperative If things get worse, does McMillan think that the Canadian government should move to approve those projects that were cancelled and expedite their construction?

He replied, “No, I don’t think we should wait for things to get worse. I think if we cannot see as plain as day today that Russia’s aggression is enabled because of the energy crisis in Europe, we’re naïve.

“And the policy decisions that has made them so vulnerable, shutting down nuclear, not developing their own natural gas, shutting down their coal, countries like Canada that made political policy decisions to not build LNG in a meaningful way. That, today, has proven to embolden Russia, and to leave Europe vulnerable, and to leave us vulnerable.

“So we don’t need to wait for any more signs. The federal government should be making this a national imperative. It’s going to require national leadership, because there’s been so much policy challenge that has driven out all private sector initiatives; Energy East, Saguenay, Goldboro. All of these LNG facilities were trying, from a company perspective, to move forward. So, after all of them have been cancelled, it’s only going to be successful if the federal government thinks it’s a national imperative, and pulls on these projects to enable them.”

Russia currently produces about 10 per cent of the global oil market supply. Does McMillan think they should be cut off from the market and we need to replace it from other sources, including Canada?

He said, “On a principled level, when we are seeing their actions in Ukraine, yes and yes.

But the reality is that if we were to execute on that, today, as we should, because they’re actively engaging in a hot war in in the Ukraine, people in Europe would freeze. There would be thousands of people dead, civilians, in Europe, because of the energy realities of having those lines cut off. As distasteful as it is, there’s a hot war going on in Ukraine, the gas is flowing from Russia into Europe. And no one in Europe is going to take the principled position on this, unfortunately. So, it’s only when countries like Canada build infrastructure, they could then take that principled stance.”

Infrastructure needed now If Canada was called upon, either by our allies or by own federal government, to ramp

up production as much as possible, has CAPP had or will CAPP have any discussions on how to do that?

McMillan said, “There is no problem in ramping up production. We have the technology. We have equipment. Of course, there would be constraints, but that is not the limiting factor. We can produce far more than we have the ability to export. So, the next obvious step is that the federal government needs to make a national imperative, LNG facilities and pipelines that connect our resources to our allies around the world, and we will be very effective at getting the production to align with that. But no one is going to do the production until we have something, somewhere and some way to get it to those markets.”

Long term, should anyone trust Russia, going forward, under this regime?

He said, “I think that Europeans, they have no choice. I don’t think it’s about trust. It’s about staying warm, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. And if they don’t trust Russia, they don’t have the option to get it from somewhere else. Because somewhere else is Canada and countries like Canada that haven’t built the infrastructure. So, they may not trust them, but they are one they are 40 per cent beholden to them, which means that they’re fully be• Fluid Hauling holden to them.”

4 benefits of students reading newspapers How to observe Newspaper in Education Week Newspaper in Education Week promotes the role newspapers can play in community classrooms. The event takes place annually during the first week of March.

Here are some ways teachers and students can participate.

• Report on an event. Host a pretend news event such as a demonstration, political rally or news conference. Teachers can role-play as participants, and students can act as journalists who interview them and then write an article.

• Write an editorial. Teachers can assign students to write an opinion piece about a matter that’s important to them.

It can be a global issue such as climate change or a local problem such as the condition of a nearby playground.

• Create a comic strip. Teachers can ask students to create a comic strip that tells a story. The story can be anecdotal or about a news event.

• Design an ad. Teachers can get students to create a print ad for a local business of their choice. They can draw an image and include key information about an imagined sale or promotion.

At the end of the week, teachers and students can assemble their articles, editorials, comic strips and ads to create an edition of their own classroom newspaper. They can name the paper, write headlines and design the layout.

Newspaper in Education Week is an annual event that encourages schools to use newspapers in their classrooms.

Here are four ways students can benefit from this practice.

3. IT PROVIDES A RESOURCE FOR PROJECTS Newspapers are an invaluable research tool for writing papers and essays.

They can also provide students with topic ideas for upcoming projects.

1. IT FOSTERS LITERACY SKILLS Journalists write newspaper articles using simple sentences and easy-tounderstand language. This makes it possible for most students to read the news without difficulty and allows them to become engaged readers.

4. IT TEACHES THEM ABOUT CURRENT EVENTS Newspapers cover global issues and local news. Learning about important topics and events can encourage students to become involved in their community.

2. IT ENHANCES VOCABULARY When students read the news, they may encounter words they don’t understand.

A teacher can help them comprehend new vocabulary and put it in context for them.

Newspapers are a powerful learning tool, and placing them in every classroom is a great idea. To bring newspapers into your school, reach out to the news outlets in your community.

DID YOU KNOW? The idea of using newspapers as a teaching tool in the classroom is more than 200 years old. In 1795, the Portland Eastern Herald in Maine published an editorial advocating schools and newspapers work together to teach children about current events.

Students can learn A LOT from Newspapers!

Interesting Facts about Earth: Space

1. Earth is a fast-moving spacecraft. We’re living in a big, fast-moving (really fast!) spacecraft. Even when you’re resting on your armchair, you’re flying through space faster than the fastest human-made object ever built: around 1.3 million miles per hour (2.1 million km/hr).

2. The first photo of Earth from space has been taken on 1946. Long before the Soviet-made Sputnik truly began the space age in 1957, on October 24, 1946, the first photo of Earth from space has been taken. The scientists launched a Nazi-built V-2 rocket (No. 13) from the White Sands Missile Range, a United States Army rocket range in southern New Mexico.

There was a camera aboard the rocket, and when the rocket reached 105 km (65 mi), the black-and-white photo was taken. The rocket was one of the V-2 rockets captured and moved to the US at the end of WWII. 3. The farthest photo of Earth. The farthest spacecraft from Earth, Voyager 1, took a photo of planet Earth in 1990, from a record distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles, 40 AU) from Earth. The photo is known as the Pale Blue Dot. In the photograph below, Earth is shown as a fraction of a pixel (0.12 pixel in size) against the vastness of space.

4. Earth is the densest planet in our Solar System. If you’re looking for the densest planet in our solar system, you don’t have to look far: Earth is the densest planet in our Solar System. It has a density of 5.51 grams per cubic centimeter. This is only the average density of the planet. The core is much denser than the oceans for example.

5. Earth’s rotation on its Axis doesn’t take 24 hours. It actually takes approximately 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds. This rotation is in respect to the distant “fixed” stars, and is called “sidereal day“. A sidereal day is the length of time it takes a planet to rotate from the perspective of a distant star.

6. Earth is not a perfect sphere. Because of its rotation, the shape of Earth is an oblate spheroid, a sphere that is slightly squashed at its poles and slightly swollen at the equator. Despite it is not a perfect sphere, the Earth still definitely does not look like this.

7. ISS is the Most Expensive Object Ever Constructed. The International Space Station (ISS) is the most expensive object ever constructed. In 2010 the cost was expected to be $150 billion.

8. You wouldn’t explode in space without a spacesuit. It is a common myth that your body would explode in space if you don’t wear a spacesuit. Human skin is strong enough to keep the body from bursting. In fact, you can live up to two minutes in the space unprotected. But, eventually, of course, you’d die.Also, you won’t freeze immediately in space, as in the Hollywood movies, despite its average temperature being so low (3 K, or -270 °C, -454 °F). Because there’s no matter in the space, so the heat does not leave the body quickly enough. You only lose heat via thermal radiation, of course, you will get colder and eventually freeze but very, very slowly.

9. Tardigrades can live 10 days in a vacuum. Speaking of surviving in the vacuum, Tardigrades, also known as water bears, can live 10 days in the vacuum, which makes them the hardest animal in existence. Two species of dried-up tardigrades were sent to space in 2007, and ten days later, they’ve been brought back, alive. They can also survive extreme conditions that would be rapidly fatal to nearly all other known life forms. They can withstand temperature ranges from 1 K (-458 °F; -272 °C) (close to absolute zero) to about 420 K (300 °F; 150 °C), pressures about six times greater than those found in the deepest ocean trenches, ionizing radiation at doses hundreds of times higher than the lethal dose for a human, and the vacuum of outer space. They can go without food or water for more than 30 years, drying out to the point where they are 3% or less water, only to rehydrate, forage, and reproduce.

10. The Great Wall is NOT the only human-made object visible from the space. The Great Wall of China is frequently billed as the only human-made object visible from space, but, in fact, it is a common misconception about Earth. Most times, it isn’t visible from the space. In fact, according to NASA, it is very difficult to see or photograph the Great Wall from even the low Earth orbit. It very rarely can be visible, and to an aided eye, under special conditions. But, you can see a lot of things people have made, and perhaps most visible from low Earth orbit are cities at night. Cities can be seen during the day too, as can major roadways and bridges, airports, dams, and reservoirs.

How to celebrate International Women’s Day Why gender equality is important

International Women’s Day takes place every year on March 8. On this day, many organizations and companies around the world celebrate the role of women in society. Here are five ways you can mark this special occasion.

As of 2014, 143 countries guaranteed equality between men and women in their constitutions. However, legalizing gender equality doesn’t necessarily mean that in practice women have the same opportunities as men.

1. REFLECT ON THE HISTORY OF FEMINISM Take a moment to remember all the people who fought for societal change and helped advance women’s rights throughout history.

International Women’s Day is celebrated on March 8 and is the perfect time to highlight how gender equality benefits everybody.

2. BRAINSTORM WAYS TO TAKE ACTION Consider ways to help combat feminist issues like violence against women and gender inequality in the workplace. Ask your friends and family to help you come up with things you can do to make a lasting difference.

MULTIPLE INEQUALITIES In many places, women have fewer employment opportunities than men and are denied fair access to health care and education.

In fact, on average, women still earn 24 per cent less than men.

participate in feminist rallies or take action to fight for gender equality.

5. CHALLENGE DECISION MAKERS Call on elected officials and other influential people to join the fight for gender equality and take action to advance women’s rights.

In addition, you can look for initiatives in your community that promote the role of women in society and contribute to the feminist struggle.

The theme chosen for International Women’s Day on March 8, 2022, is Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow.

3. HIGHLIGHT THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF OTHERS Mark the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. Celebrate the important steps that have been taken to create a more fair and just society.

Every day, nearly 37,000 girls under 18 are forced into marriage, jeopardizing their education. In 2020, 32 million girls were unable to attend primary school.

SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES A lack of education means that young women aren’t equipped with the skills needed to compete on an equal footing with men.

However, giving women greater economic empowerment significantly increases economic growth.

4. CHAMPION GENDER EQUALITY There are many ways you can make a difference for women. You can wear a purple ribbon,

AN ESSENTIAL BALANCE Gender equality is a fundamental right. In fact, advancing gender equality is critical to all areas of a healthy society, from reducing poverty to promoting the health, education, protection and wellbeing of girls and boys.

6 women who made history

According to the United Nations, women have a critical role to play in the organization’s sustainable development goals. Consequently, women’s equality isn’t only a goal, it’s a solution.

1. Rosa Parks (1913 – 2005) famously refused to give up her bus seat to a white man in Alabama in 1955. This action triggered a major turning point in the fight against racial segregation.

Find out how you can make a difference by visiting un.org or investigating initiatives in your community.

2. Emmeline Pankhurst (1858 – 1928) was a militant champion of women’s suffrage in Britain and had a huge impact on women gaining the right to vote.

3. Simone de Beauvoir (1908 – 1986) was a French philosopher and writer. Her work

has inspired many feminist movements and continues to empower women from all walks of life.

4. Simone Veil (1927 – 2017) was elected as France’s Minister of Health in 1974 and fought hard to pass a law permitting voluntary termination of pregnancies.

5. Wangari Maathai (1940 – 2011) was a political and environmental activist. She was the first African woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for her contributions to democracy, peace and sustainable development.

6. Malala Yousafzai (1997 – present) is the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner in history and has advocated for girls’ education in Pakistan since she was 11.

This International Women’s Day, take time to learn more about these and other remarkable achievements made by women.

Throughout history, countless women authors, scientists, artists, activists and philosophers have accomplished amazing feats and changed the world for the better. To mark International Women’s Day on March 8, here’s a brief look at six inspiring women.
