Title: Fable Content: A fable is a type of story which shows something in life or has a meaning to a word. A fable teaches a lesson or suggests a moral from it. A fable starts in the middle of the story, that means, jumps into the main event without detailed introduction of characters. The characters of a fable may be animals, plants and legendary creatures. When animals are used in fables, they think and talk like people, even though they act like animals. For example, in a fable a clay pot might say that it is frightened of being broken. The stories told by fables are usually very simple. To understand a fable, the reader or listener does not need to know all about the characters, only one important thing. For this reason animals are often used in fables in a way that is easily understood because it is always the same. They keep the same characteristics from story to story. * A lion is noble * A rooster is boastful * A peacock is proud * A fox is cunning * A wolf is fierce * A horse is brave * A donkey is hard-working The most famous fables are those attributed to Aesop (6th century B.C.). Many fables are so well-known that their morals have become English sayings. For example: * If a person says "sour grapes!" then they are referring to "The Fox and the Grapes". This fable is about a fox who saw a beautiful bunch of grapes hanging on a vine. He wanted to eat them but they were high up. He tried and tried to jump high enough to pull them down. When he was too tired to jump anymore, he went away saying "I'll bet those grapes were sour!" :So, if a person sees a beautiful thing that they want, but cannot have, sometimes they say "I don't want it, anyway! I'll bet it is really no good!" This way of thinking is called "sour grapes". "Crying wolf" is another well-known English saying. This comes from "The Boy Who Cried Wolf". This fable is about a boy who was sent to mind the sheep. The boy got lonely while minding the sheep, so he shouted "Wolf! Wolf!" The people came running. The next day, he did it again and they were very angry. On the third day the boy saw a wolf. He cried "Wolf! Wolf!" but no one came and the wolf ate him. :So if a person always makes a great fuss to get attention, or if a person says something bad has happened when it has not, then it is called "crying wolf" and people will stop bothering to pay attention, even when things go really wrong. ==Related pages== * Children's literature * Jean de La Fontaine * Myth * Fairy tale

Title: Histology Content: Histology is the study of the microscopic anatomy of cells and tissues of plants and animals, particularly the tissues. It is a part of cytology, and an essential tool of biology and medicine. Histology is usually done by looking at cells and tissues under a light microscope or electron microscope. The tissue has to be specially prepared beforehand. == The process == The stages below are only described in outline. Laboratories which do histology work from schedules which are much more detailed. === Fixing === Chemical fixatives are used to preserve tissue from decay. This preserves the structure of the cell and of sub-cellular components such as cell organelles (e.g., nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria). The most common fixative for light microscopy is formalin (4% formaldehyde in saline). === Embedding === After fixing, the block of tissue is embedded in paraffin wax. This holds and preserves the tissue as a block. === Sectioning === The section is cut into a series of wafer-thin slices, each of which is put on a glass microscope slide. The machine which cuts the block is a mechanical guillotine which can be set to cut at a suitable depth for the tissue in question. === Staining === Stains are dyes, chemicals used to make cells and tissues easy to see under a microscope. There are many tissue stains, and each of them has advantages and disadvantages. ==== Haematoxylin and eosin (H&E;) ==== This is the most widely used stain in biology and medicine. Haematoxylin colours cell nuclei and eosin colours cell cytoplasm. ==== Silver nitrate ==== Camillo Golgi developed a silver nitrate stain for nerve cells. His idea was used by Santiago Ramón y Cajal in his famous work on the structure of brain tissue. == Modern techniques == Electron microscopy is used often as well as light microscopy. This has its own procedures. Its advantage is that it resolves things which light cannot resolve. For example, viruses were first seen by electron microscopy.. Specialised selective stains using immunology or radioactive labelling are now routine. The advantage of using antibodies or radioactive labels is that they stick to specific kinds of molecules. Increasingly popular is tagging with a fluorescent stain, which shows up even if a tiny part of a cell is stained. Immunoinfluorescence is the name of this particular technique.

Title: Cataracts of the Nile Content: thumb|The six cataracts of the Nile thumb|The First Cataract when it was not all underwater The cataracts of the Nile are areas between Aswan and Khartoum where the water is shallow and flows quickly. The surface is broken by numerous small boulders and stones that lie on the river bed, as well as many small rocky islets. This is called "rapids or "white water". River cataracts often go with a rapid down-drop of the river. They block the waterway, since boats cannot safely carry cargo though. The six first cataracts of the River Nile were the main obstacles for boats sailing on the Nile in antiquity. Counted upstream (from north to south), the First Cataract is in modern Egypt; the rest are in Sudan. * The First Cataract is near Aswan * The Second Cataract (or Great Cataract) was in Nubia and is now submerged in Lake Nasser * The Third Cataract is around Tombos / Hannek * The Fourth Cataract is in the Manasir Desert and will be flooded by the Merowe Dam from 2006 onward * The Fifth Cataract is near the confluence with the Atbara River * The Sixth Cataract is where the Nile cuts through the Sabaluka pluton near Bagrawiyah The word cataract comes from the Greek word Katarakhtes meaning "waterfall". In ancient times, Upper Egypt extended from the Nile Delta to the first cataract. Further upstream, in what is modern Sudan, the land was later controlled by the Kingdom of Kush. The cataract faces north, not south, because the river flows north, from Lake Victoria in the south. The 1899 book The River War by Winston Churchill explains each of the cataracts.
