Ramadan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "The month of Ramadan is the one in which the Qur'an was sent down - right Guidance to mankind, and clear signs of Guidance and Distinction of truth from falsehood. Those among you who witness it, let him fast therein. Whoever is sick or on a journey, then a number of other days. God desires ease for you, and desires not hardship. Thus may you fulfil the number of days assigned, magnify God for having guided you, and perhaps you will be thankful.
Ayah 185, Sura 2 (Al-Baqara), translation by Tarif Khalidi"

Rare Arctic fossils unite student, Professor in exploration of ancient climate change - world.edu
Rare Arctic fossils unite student, Professor in exploration of ancient climate change - world.edu: "Witkowski performed a molecular-level assessment of 15-million-year-old fossilized conifers that once thrived in the high latitudes of the Canadian Arctic during the Miocene era – a time when the earth’s climate was warming. Other scientists have conducted similar analyses on fossils found elsewhere, but Witkowski is the first to zero in on newly discovered fossils found on Banks Island, Northwest Territories, Canada.
Her studies determined that the molecular components of these rare fossils are extremely well preserved, more so than 45-million-year-old Arctic fossil conifers analyzed by Professor Yang in 2005. Such findings paved the way for further molecular-level analyses using other organic geochemistry and stable isotope technologies. Working with Qin Leng, associate professor of biology at Bryant University, they found in these fossils the link between molecular composition and three-dimensional preservation, which is a very rare mode of preservation in plant fossil material."

Cookbook:Smoking - Wikibooks, open books for an open world
Cookbook:Smoking - Wikibooks, open books for an open world: "Smoking is a slow form of cooking that can pack in more flavour than probably any other form. It involves soaking the ingredient, whether it be fish, meat or vegetables, in the smoke of an aromatic wood.
An optional method of smoking food is through the cooking of the food in a covered grill. In a sense, all grilled or barbequed food have some aspect of smoking involved, usually through drippings on hot fire causing smoke, or by the fire smoke itself."
