LiveScience.com - A huge Ancient lake once dammed up by the vast ice sheets of the last Ice Age has been found by geologists in Russia. Large glacial lakes were known to cover parts of Russia and North America during the Ice Age. One of the most well-known is Lake Agassiz, which covered portions of Canada and northern Minnesota more than 10,000 years ago. At the time it was the largest freshwater lake on the planet, with an area larger than all of the present-day Great Lakes combined, larger even than California. Last year, geologists found the remnants of a lake near a Russian Village called UstNem. ... ...

New page '''Guru Nanak''' (15 April 1469 - 7 May 1539) is the founder of [[Sikhism]] and the first of the ten Gurus of the Sikhs. He was born in the Village of Talwandi, also called Rai Bhoe-ki Talwandi, now known as [[Nankana Sahib]], near [[Lahore]] in present-day [[Pakistan]]. He was born, according to all Ancient [[Sikh]] records, in the early morning of the third day of the light half of the month of Baisakh (April - May) in the year 1469 AD.

Cambridge University wants to shed its elitist image. It thinks soap operas can help. The university said Tuesday it had written to producers of Britain's three leading soaps, "EastEnders," "Coronation Street" and "Emmerdale," encouraging them to include Cambridge in their story lines. Spokesman Greg Hayman said the approach to the shows - which are set in, respectively, a gritty London neighborhood, a gritty Manchester neighborhood and a farming Village - was part of a bid to correct the perception that Cambridge was "not for young people from ordinary backgrounds." "We're very keen to attract the brightest and best students regardless of their background," Hayman said. "One of the better ways of communicating directly with potential students is to talk to them through the soaps and other programs they watch." Cambridge, which celebrates its 800th birthday next year, has also approached sci-fi series "Doctor Who" about filming in the university's Ancient colleges, and suggested the automotive show "Top Gear" recreate a 1958 stunt in which undergraduates hoisted a vintage Austin Seven van atop the university's Senate House. Cambridge and its rival Oxford - elegant, affluent universities known collectively as "Oxbridge" - are under pressure from the government to attract students from a more diverse range of backgrounds. The two draw just over half their students from state schools, which are attended by more than 90 percent of Bri ...

clipped by: amgumen Clip Source: www.usnews.com Last year, geologists found the remnants of a lake near a Russian Village called UstNem. Now, the same lake has been found to extend 435 to 497 miles (700 to 800 kilometers) to the west, near another Village called Kotlas. By comparison, Lake Superior, the largest of the Great Lakes, is 350 miles (560 km) long at its greatest length. The Ancient lake— no longer a lake — is just a few tens of kilometers away from the Ural Mountains. Lake Agassiz is thought to have possibly influenced the North Atlantic climate when it suddenly drained into what is now Hudson Bay, potentially raising sea levels and altering the ocean circulation. The Russian lake could have had similar consequences when the ice hemming it in finally melted and the lake's freshwater potentially poured into the Arctic Ocean. Lakes have probably been situated here in two periods during the last Ice Age We've found river delta deposits which suggest that the oldest lake formed some 65,000 years ago ...

One warm night four children stood in front of a bakery. Non one knew them. No one knew where they had come from. Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny used to live alone in a boxcar.

The Boxcar Children learn lots of interesting things about the Navajos - but best of all is a legend about an Ancient Native American Village that once existed nearby. Curious, the children begin digging there, and uncover some valuable artifacts. But it seems someone wants the Village to stay buried! ...

In July, I bought some sunglasses. Six weeks later I look back and smile at my optimism. The month just gone has been the wettest August anyone in Britain can remember, and in some places the wettest August since landowners, country doctors and Village clergymen began to keep reliable records of rainfall in the 18th century. Not only the wettest, but perhaps also the darkest. Thick bands of cloud blocked out the sun. As usual, we spent most of our holiday on the west coast of Scotland. The sunshine is never reliable there but this year the sun attained the status of an Ancient myth. Science told us it lay over our heads, but where was the evidence other than a watery light that dimmed even more when the night came on? The clouds crept so low, sliding down the hillsides, that they almost touched the sea and it was difficult to distinguish mist from cloud and cloud from rain. Our days began with the patter of rain on the roof tiles and ended with the same autumnal sound. We lit fires in the grate and switched on the lights. ...

Nearly a year after they introduced their first proposal for a large mixed-use development spanning Wharf Street and Cascade Avenue, developers Nancy Josephson and Steve Day presented a completely revamped version of their plan to the Langley City Council and the community. The new look, a much smaller version of last year’s design, was reminiscent of an Ancient Mediterranean Village nestled into the bluff. The developers said they attempted to create a “Village in a Village” consisting of cottages, small houses and a bistro, boasting green roofs, arts and crafts, and public walkways. The council’s and the community’s reception of the revised plan, however, was cold. ...
