...Alex Munoz My Favorite Children’s Book “Frog and Toad are Friends” is a compilation of short stories about Arnold Lobel’s beloved characters Frog and Toad. Although this book was first published in 1970, the universal themes within are still relevant for children today. Frog and Toad are inseparable friends created by the author Arnold Lobel. He wrote four books about the lovable twosome, Frog and Toad are Friends, Frog and Toad Together, Frog and Toad All Year, and Days with Frog and Toad. These two amphibians have unique characteristics. The adventures of these two amphibians make for some of the simplest and most enjoyable chapter books for developing readers. Toad and Frog are, indeed, friends, and their respect for each other comes through on every page. Arnold Lobel's writing is engaging without being cloying, and the vocabulary is basic without being babyish. The story is illustrated with swamp-toned sketches of the friends and their surroundings. While we are never too old to read tales of compassion, caring, and unequivocal friendship, Lobel's Frog and Toad tales primarily speak to children in primary grades. The language is basic, the sentences are short, and the chapters in the books are just the right length. Even though the characters are fictional, the feelings they share are very real, and the...

...Poetry Nursery Rhymes Most children love being told nursery rhymes. Many of the nursery rhymes that we have read to our children have their origins in British history. Rhymes were written for many different reasons. Some rhymes were written to honor a particular local event that has since been forgotten, while others were written to express feelings of love. Rhymes were also used to hide real meanings, such as when someone wanted to express displeasure toward the government or the sovereign without being executed. Another reason for rhymes is that they’re easy to remember, and therefore could be spread by word-of-mouth—an essential feature for a large population of people who could not read or write. So here are some of many nursery rhymes that have been written: Jack be Nimble (aka Jack b Nimble) Jack be nimble Jack be quick Jack jump over The candlestick. Little Tommy Tucker Little Tommy Tucker sings for his supper, What shall we give him? Brown bread and butter. How shall he cut it without a knife? How shall he marry without a wife? The Grand old Duke of York The Grand old Duke of York he had ten thousand men He marched them up to the top of the hill And he marched them down again. When they were up, they were up And when they were down, they were down And when they were only halfway up They were neither up nor down. Diddle Diddle Dumpling Diddle, diddle, dumpling, my son John, Went to bed with his trousers on; One shoe off, and one shoe...

...impact, and the assessment and evaluation of environmental effects of human activities are called environmental impact assessment (EIA). Thus, EIA is an instrument to identify and assess the potential environmental impacts of a proposed project, evaluate alternatives, and design appropriate mitigation, management and monitoring measures. EIA should also be conducted for social environments, i.e., impacts of project on human beings. The main activities involved in EIA are : i) Identification of likely impacts. ii) Conduction of baseline studies to collect various available information related to the particular impact. iii) Impact prediction and assessment. iv) Impact interpretation or evaluation. v) Identification of monitoring requirements and mitigating measures. 2. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF TEHRI DAM The Project has identified both positive and negative impacts. Efforts were made to get full advantage of positive impacts by formulating suitable schemes. As we know that dam is essentially an artificial wall constructed across a river which converts a running water ecosystem into a lake type ecosystem. This causes some changes in basic riverine ecosystem. Therefore, thorough studies were got conducted for the likely negative impacts of dam and its reservoir, through expert agencies. Mitigating measures, where necessary, were taken on likely negative impacts. Probable impacts identified for detailed...

...It was a beautiful July day, one of those days that come only when the weather has been settled for some time. The sky is clear from earliest morning; the sunrise does not blaze like a fire but spreads a gentle blush. The sun is not ignescent or scorching hot as it is during a sultry drought, nor is it a murky crimson as before a storm, but it is bright and affably radiant-peacefully arising beneath a long narrow cloud, freshly gleaming through it and submerged in its lilac mist. The delicate upper border of the long line of clouds gleams like a serpent; the gleam is like the gleam of forged silver ... But then again the playful beams pour forth-cheerfully and majestically, as if flying up, radiating a more powerful light. Toward midday a mass of round high clouds usually appears, golden-gray, with delicate white borders. They are almost motionless, like islands washed by an endlessly flowing river that spills over them in deeply transparent streams of flat blue; further toward the horizon, they begin to merge and cluster and the blue between them can no longer be seen, while they are themselves just like the azure of the sky: they are all imbued through and through with light and warmth. The color of the horizon is light, a pale lilac; in a whole day it does not change and is the same all around; it does not darken anywhere, there is no thickening thunderstorm; perhaps here and there a barely noticeable rain drizzles from pale blue columns that stretch downward...
