Breakfast - Africa. The typical breakfast in Africa varies greatly from region to region, with the former colonial power of an area exerting a great cultural influence: In Algeria, the typical breakfast consists of coffee with French bread and butter or jam. (In Cameroon, the morning meal is simple and designed to hold one over until lunch. Breakfast often consists of beignets, which are either eaten with beans or dipped in bouilli, a sticky, sugary liquid derived from maize. Others eat fried eggs, often made into an omelette with ...

The thick black skin of the salsify root is inedible and must be removed either prior to or after boiling. If the skin is removed prior to boiling, the peeled root should be immediately immersed in water mixed with vinegar and flour, in order to prevent discolouring. Since the root sap is extremely sticky, it is often more convenient to peel it after boiling the root for 20 to 25 minutes. Black salsify is often eaten together with other vegetables, such as peas and carrots. But it is also popular in a white sauce, such as bechamel sauce or mustard sauce. Boiled salsify roots m ...

Characterized by irregular, messy-looking, tangled, three-dimensional (non-sticky) webs, generally low and anchored to the ground or floor and wall. Commonly found in or near buildings; some build webs in bushes. The spider generally hangs in the center of the web, upside-down. Prey is generally ground-dwelling insects such as ants or crickets, in addition to small flying insects. Widows (Latrodectus spp.) - a large, cosmopolitan group; all with relatively dangerous bites. These are relatively large (about the size of a nickel) ...

"Treacle" originally meant any kind of a thick syrupy salve, and it is likely that bituminous seeps from coal deposits were used in traditional remedies, so this may have been the kernel of truth that inspired the joke. The Tar Tunnel near Blists Hill in Shropshire has natural deposists of tar oozing from the walls which could be said to resemble treacle. Another explanation is that "treacle" originally meant medicine, so the various healing wells around Britain were called "treacle wells". Treacle later came to mean a sticky s ...

Slugs produce two types of mucus: one which is thin and watery, and another which is thick and sticky. Both are hygroscopic. The thin mucus is spread out from the centre of the foot to the edges. The thick mucus spreads out from front to back. Mucus is very important to slugs as it helps them move around, and contains fibres which prevent the slug from sliding down vertical surfaces. Mucus also provides protection against predators and helps retain moisture. Some species use slime cords to lower themselves on to the ground, or suspen ...

Where components are to be placed, the printed circuit board has flat, usually tin-plated copper pads without holes, called solder pads. Solder paste, a sticky mixture of flux and tiny solder particles, is first applied to all the solder pads with a stainless steel stencil. If components are to be mounted on the second side, a numerically controlled (NC) machine places small liquid adhesive dots at the locations of all second-side components. The boards then proceed to the pick-and-place machines, where they are placed on a conveyor b ...

Rather than cutting DNA indiscriminately, a restriction enzyme cuts only double-helical segments that contain a particular nucleotide sequence, and it makes its incisions only within that sequence--known as a "recognition sequence"--always in the same way. Some enzymes make strand incisions immediately opposite one another, producing "blunt end" DNA fragments. Most enzymes make slightly staggered incisions, resulting in "sticky ends", out of which one strand protrudes. There are three known evolutionary lineages of restriction ...

Many large American cities have a more-or-less official social season, although only those persons on the social register may be aware of its existence. In the US, timing of the social season is adapted to the climate, rather than to the sitting of Parliament, and may start as early as the autumn and end in the early summer when the upper classes traditionally fled the hot and sticky cities for the so-called camps of the Adirondacks or seaside retreats such as the Hamptons. In New York, the opening of the Metropolitan Opera in September is a major event of the early social season; in Los ...

At the tip of every growing root is a conical covering of tissue called the root cap. It usually is not visible to the naked eye. It consists of undifferentiated soft tissue (parenchyma) with unthickened walls covering the apical meristem. The root cap provides mechanical protection to the meristem cells as the root advances through the soil, its cells worn away but quickly replaced by new cells generated by cell division within the meristem. The root cap is also involved in the production of mucigel, a sticky mucilage t ...

There is perhaps no more polarizing figure in the world of musical theatre than Andrew Lloyd Webber. His undeniable talent for soaring, memorable, or "sticky" melody makes him nearly unique in a world short on hummable tunes. Until recently most theatre composers tended to mimic the styles of more rigorous or astringent composers such Stephen Sondheim, but they fell far short of Sondheim's emotional clarity and theatrical punch. Lately more composers have begun to emulate Lloyd Webber's more populist and unabashedly emotional style, perhaps ...

Tom Lehrer Revisited - The Old Dope Peddler. This is a parody of "The Old Lamplighter," by Charles Tobias and Nat Simon, which was a hit for Kay Kyser in 1947. The sticky-sweet verses of the original asserted that He made the night a little brighter Wherever he would go The old lamplighter Of long, long ago It goes on to say that if there were sweethearts in the dark "he'd pass the light and leave it dark," and concludes by explaining that now, the old lamplighter ...
