30. Since the 1970s, one theory that has been popular among schoolteachers and pervasive in education research
literature is the ideas of “learning styles”. The ideas is that students will learn more if they are exposed to
material through approaches that specifically match their learning style. But in recent years, many academicians
have criticized Learning Style saying there is no evidence it improves students understanding.

findings are very interesting. It was found while 58% of the academics surveyed believe Learning Styles to be
beneficial—only 33% actually used the pedagogical tool. Simply, there is something about the idea of

then tailoring the class curriculum to suit individual students’ personal learning styles is only done by a handful
of faculty.

tradition is believed to reflect a real war between the Greeks of the late Mycenaean period and the
inhabitants of the Troad, or Troas, in Anatolia, part of present-day Turkey. Modern archaeological
excavations have shown that Troy was destroyed by fire sometime between 1230 bc and 1180 bc, and that
the war may have resulted from the desire either to plunder the wealthy city or to put an end to Troy's
commercial control of the Dardanelles. Legendary accounts of the war traced its origin to a golden apple,
inscribed “for the fairest” and thrown by Eris, goddess of discord, among the heavenly guests at the

69. Furrow irrigation is conducted by creating small parallel channels along the field length in the direction
of predominant slope. Water is applied to the top end of each furrow and flows down the field under the
influence of gravity. Water may be supplied using gated pipe, siphon and head ditch or bankless systems.
The speed of water movement is determined by many factors such as slope, surface roughness and furrow
shape but most importantly by the inflow rate and soil infiltration rate. The spacing between adjacent
furrows is governed by the crop species, common spacings typically range from 0.75 to 2 meters. The crop
is planted on the ridge between furrows which may contain a single row of plants or several rows in the
case of a bed type system. Furrows may range anywhere from less than 100 m to 2000 m long depending on
the soil type, location and crop type.

72. Blueberries really stand out. They contain both insoluble fiber which “flushes” fat out of your system
and soluble fiber which slows down the emptying of your stomach, and improves blood sugar control. In a
study by the United States Department of Agriculture, people who consumed 2.5 cups of wild blueberry
juice per day for 12 weeks lowered their blood glucose levels, lifted depression and improved their
memories. Researchers credit these results to anthocyanins in the berries, a natural chemical that shrinks fat
cells and also stimulates the release of adiponectin, a hormone that regulates blood glucose levels, among
other things. Increasing adiponectin levels can help keep blood sugar low and increase our sensitivity to
insulin.
