Extractions: The School of the World is a traveler's education school located on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, in the town of Playa Jaco (map) . The programs offered at the school are some of the most original and innovative options available for travelers today, offering more learning vacation options than any other language school or surf camp in Costa Rica. Costa Rica's beautiful countryside, friendly native Spanish speaking people, and stunning beaches form the perfect backdrop for studying Spanish, surfing, art, and digital photography. Founded in 1997, the School of the World began as one of the first options for studying Spanish near the beach in Costa Rica (most of the language schools are located in or around the capital city which is in the center of the country). College credit soon became available for the unique program and the school continued to grow rapidly. The school's Spanish courses incorporate international Spanish teaching guidelines with Costa Rica's local variations of the language. While the program covers all aspects of Spanish, teachers place a heavy influence on developing verbal skills. Studying in a Spanish speaking country allows students to immediately practice what they have learned with native Spanish-speaking people.
Gulf Coast Research And Education Center Research on methyl bromide alternatives, herbicide technology and weed ecology in West Central Florida, developed by Drs. James P. Gilreath and Bielinski M. Santos from the Gulf Coast Research and education Center. http://gcrec.ifas.ufl.edu/Weed Science/Web Page/Weed Science.htm
Extractions: University of Florida Gulf Coast Research and Education Center Weed Science and Soil Fumigant Program James P. Gilreath, Ph.D Bielinski M. Santos, Ph.D. Contents: Research Objectives Research Papers Extension and Outreach Documents Weed Identification Guides Weed Science Societies Research Objectives: Identifying acceptable alternatives to methyl bromide for tomato, pepper, strawberry, caladium and gladiolus. This effort focuses on the full spectrum of soilborne pest control, not just weed control, and involves cooperative research with soil pathologists and nematologists. Identify herbicides which provide acceptable control of nutsedge in the above referenced crops. Determine the most effective and acceptable means of applying herbicides and fumigants to achieve the desired level of efficacy. Develop improved application procedures for fumigants and modifications of existing processes to achieve desired levels of efficacy, efficiency, and reduce potential for exposure for applicators. Develop improved application procedures nonselective or potentially phytotoxic herbicides applied to row middles of vegetable crops.

NAMS is the sponsor of the Marine Micropaleontology Research Group, a formal research group within SEPM which reports to the SEPM research committee. Student centered information is available at the NAMS Student Forum the NAMS Newsletter Information about the Joint NAMS et al. Meeting - Geological Problem Solving with Microfossils - March 2005 a Calendar of micropaleontological happenings, recent publications , and What's New at this site. Highlights: A section for member contact info , a job board , and some links The NAMS Professional Registry is a clearinghouse for information on NAMS members. Our Industrial Biostratigraphy Committee has info on meetings and a graphics exchange.
Official Killarney National Park Website Details the varied ecology of Killarney National Park in County Kerry, Ireland. It explores the different habitats found within and outlines how best to visit the area. The website also incorporates the Killarney National Park education Centre. http://homepage.tinet.ie/~knp/duchas/
Extractions: Mail is the Irish State body responsible for national monuments and historic properties, national parks and wildlife, waterways, visitor services and the national inventory of architecture. It is an integral part of the Government Department of Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands. Dúchas as an entity was launched in 1997 after a restructuring of ministerial and departmental responsibilities (the functions now performed by Dúchas were formerly carried out by the Office of Public Works). The Irish word 'Dúchas' translates into English as "heritage, birthright, patrimony, native place, natural state and homeland", and is therefore quite appropriate to the work of the service. National Parks in Ireland National Parks in Ireland exist to "conserve natural plant and animal communities and scenic landscapes which are both extensive and of national importance, and, under conditions compatible with that purpose, to enable the public to visit and appreciate them". There are currently six national Parks in Ireland, and these are:

Home Functions to maintain a system of nature reserves on the Niagara Escarpment with the objective to support research, education and ecologically sustainable recreation to preserve landscape, ecology and wildlife. http://www.escarpment.ca/
Extractions: Your Fall 2004 edition of Precipice is here! The Niagara Escarpment has been designated a World Biosphere Reserve by the United Nations. It is a continuous series of natural areas, consisting of forests, meadows, marshes, rocky cliffs and shorelines, centered on a spectacular 400 million year old geological formation It is home to the most ancient and least disturbed forest ecosystem east of the Rocky Mountains, with thousand year old cedar trees and a wide diversity of plants and animals. Threatened or endangered species include Lady's Slipper Orchid, Massasauga Rattlesnake, Hart's Tongue Fern among others. The Niagara Escarpmentis under immediate threat by development on every side: housing, industry, resource extraction and some recreational activities are destroying its natural features. Our plan is to build a natural ecosystem corridor from Niagara, past Tobermory and all the way to Michigan.
Extractions: The New England Naturalist Training Center (NENTC) is an environmental organization dedicated to the teaching of hands-on ecology focused environmental education; to the general public and staff training for environmental organizations. What is ecology? Ecology is defined as the complex of relations between living organisms and their environment. In simple terms it is the nuts and bolts of nature. It is the parts that make up the whole. Using this concept, it is not enough to identify a red-backed salamander but to understand why the animal was present in the first place. It is not enough to identify porcupine tracks and scat but to come to an understanding about what in the general habitat has created the synergies that provides for the animal. It is not enough to identify the Maidenhair fern but to understand the development and continued evolution of the soils that supports it. Through these understandings we as naturalists can more fully observe and appreciate our natural world. A skilled naturalist can anticipant what might be over the crest of the next rise; anticipate where to see black bear, predict where deer are sleeping or know where to go to hear the haunting calls of nesting ravens.
