The first references to the family of plants known as “Beta” can be found in Greek literature around 420BC. They were described as garden plants; dark and light varieties are mentioned. Sugar beet was first grown 2000 years ago originally for its leaves, which were probably the spinach or swiss chard of their day. Beet gradually spread throughout France and Spain, often in monasteries but also by peasant farmers. By the fifteenth century beet was grown all over Europe. The vegetable was probably selected from various Beta species growing around the shores of the Mediterranean. It was widely used for culinary purposes in Europe from the middle Ages onwards.

The compound was extracted by crystallization from a fraction of EtOH extracts of Veratrum grandiflorum.1 Resveratrol is most famously found in the skin of red and purple gapes but other sources include cranberries, blueberries and peanuts. Japanese knot weed is also a concentrated source of Resveratrol and is used as a non-synthetic route to produce resveratrol for diet supplements2.
When we contrasting between the two cartoons, we believe that the cartoon that representing Australian National Flag invokes critical thinking. That arguing certain points and needs further investigation. Firstly, taking the notes of the sixth stars for example. We would argue the start that used to express “the six reasons the health system doesn’t work” is a little bit fallacious. On the certain point, it raises doubt to the reader on the given definition. On the other hand, we also argue that the illustration given by the artist was an expression to criticize the government. The flag used as a satire to address the issues that maybe arise in Australia. In conclusion, the points that we’ve provided considered to be relevant as critical thinking process. Because the cartoon triggered the reader to interpret the meaning, value, interest etc. behind the cartoon itself.
As robots have become more of a reality and less of movie magic, (see Brian Gair’s robotics essay) they have been put to the test in many ways. Recently, the United States military has been funding companies to develop unmanned drones and unmanned vehicles that can travel to places we can’t, or don’t want to, go. They even have exoskeletons they allow soldiers to carry more without the added stress. Many companies, even ones you wouldn’t expect, are making these military robots. iRobot, the company known for its autonomous vacuum, makes four remote controlled vehicles used for situational awareness, bomb control, hazmat operations, and many other things. Boeing is working on unmanned helicopters and recon planes. Even the British Army is developing

Zoos are not a place to imprison animals. Harambe was a large 17 year old, Western lowland gorilla. On May 18, 2016 a 4 year old boy got curious and ventured into the gorilla enclosure. Harambe saw the boy fall in the moat and dragged him out of the water by his leg. The child spent at least 10 minutes in the enclosure and if Harambe had an intention to kill or harm the kid, he would have done it when the boy fell. There was even a video of Harambe holding hands with the boy. Witnesses claim that Harambe took the little boy to the highest point of the enclosure so the zookeepers could retrieve him. Harambe was fatally shot because the boy was thought to be in danger. That’s only one example of an animal shot dead because they were in a zoo.

Tannia is a herbaceous, monocotyledonous, perennial plant, but for practical purposes, it is harvested after 6 -12 months of growth (Castro, 2006; Ramesh et al., 2007; Lebot, 2009).
