rid icu-lis. >> and the cnn special report "murder at the marathon" starts right. >> the following is a cnn special report. >> this is what they did in boston. >> oh, my god. >> but where did they go? >> less than a half an hour after they did this, they are thinking about what kind of milk to buy. >> where did they go? and what drove them to kill?
>> you saw the victims bleeding and broken. now the side of the story you didn't see. >> oh, my goodness, officer down. >> get on it! >> tonight, "murder at the marathon." >> april 15th, 2013. patriots day. a massachusetts tradition. >> you talk to anyone from boston and they talk about patriots day, the weekend to be in boston. it is our signature day and it is unique to boston. >> the centerpiece of the day is the city's world famous marathon. >> it was a chilly morning. 30 degrees. unlike when it was 80 degrees so we thought the weather won't be a story this year. what will be the story. >> the journalist steve silva is
covering the story for boston.com. >> it was a normal day and a good day. >> sidney corkran with her mom and dad are among the 1 million spectators enjoying the day. >> my family and i went into boston and got a bite to eat and made our way down to the finish line. >> 30,000 runners had spent months preparing to cross this line. >> opposite boston across the charles river, pro brothers are also preparing for the marathon in a much more sinister way. tamerlan tsarnaev and husband younger brother dzokhar live in an unremarkable house in an unremarkable street. they've been working on something from a magazine from a guide from the arabian peninsula. the recipe, make a bomb in the
kitchen of your mom. the ingredients are surprisingly simple. ordinary objects you can buy in everyday stores like pressure cookers, the kind you might use to make dinner. records indicate the pressure cookers are bought here at this macy's in saug us, massachusetts. a middle class community, about 13 miles from the tsarnaev's home. >> in late march, just two weeks before the attack on the marathon, one of the bomber's comes to this home depot, north of came bridge, to buy a soldering gun. >> it is used to heat metal and connect wires. the brothers buy fireworks to extract the explosive powder inside. that goes into the pressure cooker along with bb pellets and nails. home made shrapnel intended to tear flesh and shatter bone.
it is 2:37 p.m., about 4.5 hours since the race and when a majority of the runners are finishing. it is also go-time for the brothers. who round the corner on to the marathon route. their attack is timed to cause maximum damage. >> i always think of the families that just line that finish line. sometimes ten deep. and it is difficult to get by. >> that is where tamerlan positions himself. high school student sidney corkran is to his left. >> it was a great vibe. everyone was just being nice and cheering them on like, you can do it, keep going. >> dzokhar stops behind several families with small children, including the richards, with
11-year-old henry, 6 jeerld jane and 12-year-old martin. and now dzokhar raises a phone to his ear. the plan is now in motion. >> what the hell was that? >> tamerlan detonates the first bomb. >> oh, my god, something blew up. >> in the ensuing chaos, dzokhar walks quickly away from his backpack. he leaves it on the ground, right near 8-year-old martin richard. behind the richards in a blue sweater is 23-year-old lingzi lieu. >> she walked into frame just before the bomb goes off. you see he turn to look toward the finish line where the first
bomb went off and then you see her continuing to walk across the frame and then the second bomb goes off. >> the blast levels spectators and separates families. >> my mind always goes to the richard family. bill richard who saw the first bomb go off and thought i need to get my family here, trying to jump over the fence when the second bomb went off right over his family. you see him grab his oldest son henry and then you see jane and she gets up, not realizing she doesn't have a leg and her gather grabbed her and brings her to the pavement on the road to see if he could find emergency personnel and see him run back to where his wife and his son martin are. he said it was one of those situations where he had to tell
himself, martin is gone. i need to focus on jane. jane needs my help right now. >> it has to make the worst decision any parent has to make. >> and this picture of ling zi lou, the last one of her alive. a piece of metal from the pressure cooker slices her leg open. she bleeds to death on the sidewalk. >> i don't remember going down on the ground, but i remember kind of -- i know coming to and seeing everyone around me and i remember massive amounts of pressure being put on my leg and it was very painful. >> like ling zi lou a severed artery in her right thigh and she is losing blood fast. and near her leslie campbell is
bleeding profusely. my legs hurt. they are the last words crystal will ever speak. >> karen waters, she lost her leg and fell with her friend krystle campbell. she kind of inched toward crystal and placed their faces almost next to each other and then put her hand in crystal's so the last sensation that crystal would have felt beside the searing pain in her legs from the bomb would have been the warmth of karen's face and the embrace of her hand. >> one friend lives, the other dies. hundreds are left struggling to survive. and authorities are already trying to figure out who did this? how many are out there? and where are they now? coming up -- a cold-hearted killer seemingly without a care in the world.

the marathon bombs kill three people. 29-year-old krystle campbell, described by her brother as the heart of her family.
ling lingzi lu, the chinese exchange student who planned to stay home to study. and 8-year-old who loved sports, including running. [ yelling ] >> something blew up. >> more than 200 people are shredded or broken. lives hang in the balance. one of them is sydney corkran. >> i remember feeling the blood just, like, come out of my leg and it was warm all over. and i thought, like, i'm bleeding out. like, i'm not going to make it to the hospital. >> as doctors rushed to save lives, at least one of the
bombers is here -- that is 19-year-old dzokhar tsarnaev, casually shopping at the whole foods in cambridge. it is 3:14 p.m., just 24 minutes after the bombing. >> he goes in and picks out half a gallon of milk. and the video shows him go back into the parking lot but the millm wasn't the right millm so he gets out, less than half an hour after they killed three people, he's back in there exchanging the milk because apparently it wasn't the right milk. it was an extraordinary thing to watch. >> and it also appears perfectly normal which is how friends who know dzokhar before the bombing describe him. >> he was a normal kid. carry on a conversation. make you laugh. he was fun. he was happy-go-lucky. >> dzokhar tsarnaev arrives in
the united states in 2002. an 8-year-old, speaking little english. his family is chechen, an ethnic majority long persecuted. >> his parents came and his mother and father and dzokhar when he was little. three kids were back home in kazakhstan. >> by the time older sibltings arrive the following year, dzokhar is fitting into american culture. by high school, he's a popular guy. >> he had a big cross-section of friends. most of whom were shocked when this came out, that he was charged with the boston marathon bombing. >> including these young men from his high school wrestling team who asked not to be identified. >> in wrestling he was a really nice kid. he was the kind of kid who would
push me hard and he was new to wrestling and so he would push me hard. >> by senior year he is wrestling captain and working as a lifeguard at harvard and getting solid grades and speaks english perfectly with no accent. if he is harboring any anti-american feelings, his friends don't have a clue. >> he never hated american. he just tried to be a typical american boy. >> a typical american boy who smoked a lot of pot. >> i was talking to some kids from [ inaudible ] and two mentioned he likes to smoke a bone. is that unusual in american high school kids? probably not. particularly in a city like cambridge. >> brother tamerlan, seven years older than dzokhar, is having a harder time adjusting but he is trying to find his place. >> he loved boxing. it was his passion. it was his outlet. clearly he wanted to be a world
champ one day. >> his high school buddy louise vasquez said his friend's ambition caused some of his problems. >> he could be intimidating because people knew he was a boxer and he had more of a reserved personality to him but if you went up to him, he would talk to you right back. >> ahead, what would cause an aspiring boxer and popular high school wrestler to do this? and this? and this? >> oh, my goodness. all units respond. officer down! officer down! all units! get on it! scott: appears buster's been busy.
man: yeah, scott. i was just about to use the uh... scott: that's a bunch of ground-up paper, lad! scotts ez seed uses the finest seed, fertilizer, and natural mulch that holds water so you can grow grass anywhere! looking good, lad!

this is where tamerlan tsarnaev feels most at home. in the boxing ring. he's dominant, imposing, successful. john allen owns the gym where tamerlan trained. >> how would you describe tamerlan's skill as a fighter? >> very good. he was a proficient boxer. >> so talented he wins the new england golden gloves
championship twice. a step closer to his dream at fighting at the international level. >> it was his life's choice to use boxing to get nationalized to compete in the olympics. >> but then a sharp blow. he's bars from national competition because tamerlan tsarnaev is not an american citizen. >> that would have been just more box for him to check off in his sense of grievance. >> for tamerlan it is a familiar message. he is an outsider. that same year he tells a local photo journalist, i don't have a single american friend. i don't understand them. >> the older brother had a lot of problems. he wasn't able to assimilate to the u.s. culture like his little brother. >> his little brother, dzokhar. >> very well adapted and very personab personable, very popular within his school. >> he seems to be doing well.
>> he received a scholarship to go to college. a wrestler. all of those kind of things. >> but the rest of the tsarnaev family is struggling. the sisters with failed marriages, the parents with earning a living. >> they had all sorts of opportunity in this country, but by my measure they seemed to have not fulfilled certainly what their expectations were. >> money is tight and the family relies on welfare to get by. >> they had a common expense like chechens, living in common societies. >> the family homeland is chechen, the family violent and like many living far from home and that can create issues. >> issues of nationalism, and chechen and the jihadi groups over there and issues that have to do with assimilation and the
sense of belonging. >> tamerlan finds a sense of belonging in radical islam. >> he definitely started to talk about religion more. he would engage with people in the gym, talk about jewish con spearancies and grew a beard. >> they talk with his mother after receiving a vague and unusual warning. russian counterparts say they are an adherence of radical islam but the case is closed for lack of adherence. and by 2012 the marriage has fallen apart. >> a metaphor for the whole family has collapsed. a metaphor under all sorts of dysfunction and anger. >> as both parents separately move back to dagga stan, dzokhar is left to fend for himself at dartmouth. >> while tamerlan is becoming dehout, dzokhar is hanging out
with his friends and talking on facebook. >> >> i want to study abroad or two. i'm doing laundry at this time. #college. and he's also smoking and dealing plenty of pot. >> everybody knew this kid had -- the kid with the funny name, he always had pot. >> and his grades are plummeting as he takes a long trip to dagga stab. like neighboring chechnya, it is plaguing with extremism and here something happened. >> there is something that happened. people that he met. there were mosques that he attended. there were training camps possibly that he went to and probably received some training. >> tamerlan seems eager to share what he is learning.
e-mailing dzokhar e-mail links and writing, watching this, it's interesting. or ideas, quote, those who helps ala's cause will help them. and this one about martyrdom. and six months later when he returned to cambridge, he is radically different. >> even among mainstream muslims in the cambridge area, he stood out as someone who is more radicalized or angry. >> dzokhar becomes a u.s. citizen on september 12th but still has strong ties to his chechen roots. >> the fact that they both believe they are from chechnya and not the united states where they live. >> they are spending more time together and listening to radical islamist messages.
>> you should see it as a muslim, i'm one year closer to my death. did i prepare it for my death. a muslim cannot afford to waste any time. >> three days before the marathon. >> tamerlan and dzokhar stop at this mosque to pray. then go from worship to workout at john allen's gym. >> were you surprised at his demeanor 72 hours before those bombs at the marathon? >> unbelievable. just him entering the ring, i mean, you know, jumping over both legs, feet at his shoulder height, clearing the ring, popping in, jumping rope, like he was on top of the world. >> on top of the world and ready to act. that same week dzokhar tweets, if you have the knowledge and the inspiration, all that is left is to take action. >> april 15th, 2013, marathon
monday. the two brothers take their respective positions. set off two bombs on boylston street, and calmly walk away. coming up next, brothers on the run. an extraordinary manhunt in the city of boston. >> i actually saw a spark from the bomb and that is when i immediately hit the ground. i hate cleaning the gutters. have you touched the stuff? it's evil. and ladders... awwwwwww!!!!! they have all those warnings on them. might as well say, "you're going to die, jeff". you hired someone to clean the gutters? not just someone. someone from angie's list. but we're not members. we don't have to be to use their new snapfix feature. angie's list helped me find a highly rated service provider to do the work at a fair price. come see what the new angie's list can do for you.

university of massachusetts, dort mouth. on campus a day later, everyone is talking about what happened at the marathon. >> we talked about the bombing for like about five minutes. >> everyone, including dzokhar tsarnaev and classmated zack betancourt. >> he seemed nonchalant. i haven't been doing much lately so i decided to head to the gym. >> as he heads to the gym, copley square is a crime scene and detectives sift through the debris. they find part of the pressure cookers and the backpacks and the fuse. fbi specialists are pouring over surveillance footage. >> we watched that footage
hundreds and hundreds of times to detect any anomalies or suspicious activities. >> like this, the man in the white hat whoar the first blast doesn't even flinch. >> so it was the absence of reaction. >> your normal reaction, if you hear a loud noise, you swift your direction and he wasn't phased and that stood out. >> we started to retrace and back this up. do we see him with anyone else and then we do. we see him with an individual wearing a black cap. >> investigators believe they have identified their suspects, but they don't have their names. >> we are releasing photos of these two suspects. they are identified as suspect one and suspect two. >> the two brothers are now the most wanted fugitives in america. >> they knew with the photos out there they were going to be
identified quickly. >> after months of carefully planning their attack, the tsarnaev brothers have failed to plan their escape. >> it was obvious that the two brothers had little idea or plans on what they would do next. >> dzokhar texts his friends, if you want you can go to my room and take what is there. >> as reality hits his friends grab his lap tap and fireworks which later turn oup in a landfill. >> i think with just the videos and photos they could have successfully fled immediately following the bombing. >> but they are definitely running now. >> so within days of the act they are committing other criminal acts to essentially make their getaway. >> the brothers only have one gun. and in search of another they confront m.i.t. police officer sean collier. >> he drives up in his police
cruiser and parks there. and you see these two images in dark and they come walking quite deliberately down this pathway. >> after a struggle, collier is shot multiple times at close range. the brothers run from the scene. >> all units respond. officer down, officer down! >> they killed him and murdered him in cold blood and then tried to take his weapon but his holster was designed to prevent someone from stealing his weapon, particularly in a struggle or something like that. >> across the charles river a few miles away they come upon an idling suv and decide to carjack the vehicle and the driver, 26-year-old chinese app developer dung mention. >> they said do you know about the boston marathon bombing? they said i did that. i just kills a policeman. so don't do anything stupid.
>> the brother question mention about new york city, use his bank kartd to withdraw $800 in cash and stop for cash. dzokhar heads into the store for snacks. >> they went inside of the shell gas station and it shows him getting a bunch of doritos and red bull which you would get for a road trip. >> alone in the car with tamerlan, he knows it is now or never. in a single motion he slips off his seat belt and opens the door, bolting across the street to a gas station to call 911. >> what happened when they took your car? >> they -- [ inaudible ]. >> the plan is unraveling. tamerlan races to get his brother. >> mention's escape gives investigators the break they desperately need. >> the one thing that dung mention did that was actually quite brilliant, when tamerlan asked if he had a gps in there
he said no, but in fact, he did. >> the police track the car to watertown, where the brothers engage them in a massive fire fight. >> i heard pops outside and i ran to the window and i just saw two shooters behind a vehicle, behind an suv. >> andrew kitsenberg takes these videos from his upstairs video. >> while they were firing at him, they saw tamerlan throw bombs at them and they saw pressure bombs like the ones left at boylston street, and this one he hurled at them, they were so heavy. >> and i saw sparks from the bomb, it was so heavy. >> they are in a fight for their lives. >> and they were charging the officers, running down the
street, firing their weapon. >> and they are literally ten feet away from each other exchanging gunfire. >> and then he runs out of ammunition. >> the bad guy. >> the bad guy, tamerlan, and then officers tackle him to the ground. >> when dzokhar saw what was happening with his brother. he jumps into the mercedes suv and come back at the cops with his brother. >> dzokhar aims the car straight at the officers. >> somebody yells get out of the way. >> they dove out of the way. >> instead he runs over his brother. >> the fatal injuries on his brother were inflicted by dzokhar who ran over his brother. >> dzokhar tsarnaev makes his escape. he is wounded and bleeding and blocking for a place to hide. >> coming up next, a city on lockdown. >> we're asking people to shelter in place. in other words to stay indoors with their doors locked.

boston. a city attacked and left wounded and bleeding is now a city on lockdown. >> wow! get out of here. >> after a vicious fire fight with police in watertown, one brother is dead, the other is on the run. there is a big concern because he's got explosives on him. if this guy comes out, then he may come out and go down in a blaze of glory. >> there is a massive manhunt underway. we're asking people to shelter in place, to stay indoors. >> the stolen suv is found abandoned blocked from the shootout. inside it, an important clue. >> we knew we had hit him
because there was blood in that vehicle. and we started the grid search and found some blood behind a house so we knew he was wounded. >> but his bloody trail vanishs. tactical teams set up a 20-block search radius. terrified residents are terrified as teams search block by block, house by house. >> we had reason to believe he was still in the area but were never 100% sure of that. >> hours pass with no leads. where is he? is he alive? will he kill again? >> we didn't know whether we would be able to apprehend him. we were going to continue until we found him. >> at 6:00 friday evening the 12-hour lockdown is temporarily lifted. people cautiously leave their homes. david hennen berry goes into his
backyard to secure a loose flap covering his boat. >> and i look over the boat on the floor and i see blood. >> very quickly, that boat and that whole general area was surrounded by heavily armed police. >> you could hear the gunshots and we see a lot of activities. >> you have hundreds of law enforcement officers who zeroed in on a man they believe is the suspect. >> police surrounding the boat, briefly open fire. >> we were able to state police helicopter over the boat. and with the infrared, they were able to give information. they moved his left arm. his left leg just moved. >> [ inaudible ]. >> at 8:30 p.m. dzokhar is at a
standoff as they try to coax him out. >> he's coming out, he's coming out. >> at 8:45 p.m., dzokhar, bleeding and shaking, surrenders. a red laider from a sniper's rifle trained tren his eyes. >> we had every reason to believe he was armed in that boat. what was he going to try to do? >> with both hands raised, dzokhar is finally taken down. ending one of the biggest manhunts in u.s. history. [ sirens ] >> gravely wounded by gunshots, dzokhar is taken to a boston hospital. >> the suspect is in critical but stable condition. he's not in a condition to be interrogated at this point in time. >> the motive behind the horrific bombings comes into focus when a bomb technician
searching for explosives finds a crude note scrolls on the inside of the boat, now riddled with bullets and stained with blood is dzokhar's fan festo. the u.s. government is killing our innocent civilians. i can't stand to see such evil go unpunished. >> this is political. this is against americans because of what they did in iraq, against americans because of what they did in afghanistan, it has nothing to do with religion it seems. >> in his young mind he probably thinks it has everything to do with religion. so you have these mixed up notions about what is going on in the different conflict zones around the world combined with a superficial knowledge of his own religion doctrine and doug ma. >> he writes, we muslim are one body, he hurt one, you hurt us all. >> you read the note on the boat
where he was captured and it was clear wherever he got this information, he internalized it to such a point where he could lie in a boat badly wounded and write a lengthy screed in which he regurgitated the language and the rhetoric of jihadis all over the world. >> earlier today the suspect only managing head nods and a single word as the charges were read to him in his hospital room. >> dzokhar tsarnaev will be charged with 30 federal counts, including conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction. 17 of the charges carry a possible death sentence. he will plead not guilty. up next, survivors finally come face-to-face with dzokhar tsarnaev.

in the months after the bombing, still recovering from his wounds, dzhokar tsarnaev
remains defiant. in his jail cell before his arraignment, he taunts u.s. marshals. when his trial begins two years later, judy clark will lead the defense team. >> judy clark is a legend in american criminal defense. this is a woman who is famous for taking impossible cases and not getting acquittals, but getting life sentences as opposed to death sentences, which is not an easy thing. >> as she was led into court, he was glancing over his right shoulder and smiling and smirking at his relatives behind him. i found that absolutely galling and reprehensible. >> judy clark got up there in the opening statement of the trial and said, it was him. those were her words. "it was him." this was obviously very strategic on the part of the
defense. >> clark's strategy, don't fight the charges, fight the death penalty. >> the defense is trying to show mitigation. yes, he's guilty, but, consider the following about him. consider his alienation from american society. consider the malevolent influence of his older brother, which led him, inexorably to this crime. >> but the prosecution team isn't buying it. >> the prosecution said, they were equal partners. if you put bombs down on a street and shred the legs of innocent men, women, and children, and then go into a store a half hour later and buy a half gone of milk, can you really blame that on your
brother? >> there was just so much evidence, they actually showed the jury what these bombs potentially looked like. they brought pressure cookers into the courtroom. they let them actually handle these pressure cookers and see what was inside. >> inside, nails and bbs designed to inflict maximum carnage. the blast destroyed both of jessica kensky's legs. >> jess kensky rolled by in her wheelchair with her service dog, looking for some kind of betrayal of human emotion, some sort of reaction to what was taking place around him, and we never saw anything. >> dzhokar seems disengaged, disinterested, and unaffected, just as he was the day of the bombings. >> you see dzhokar go in front
of the restaurant and he stops very specifically in back of a bunch of kids, who are lined up against the barriers. i think the most effective things that the prosecution said during its case is that dzhokar was there for four minutes. so in those four minutes, he could survey everything that was around him, and he left the bomb there and walked away. >> it was really difficult to watch, for anyone who was in that courtroom. there were tears with the jury. there were tears with the survivors who were in there. and there were tears in the media section. because you see these people ringing cow bells, cheering on the marathon, standing just feet from the runners, just elation. and in a moment, you just see the bomb go off. >> the jury also sees the
bloody, bullet-riddled message from inside the boat. dzhokar writes, "i do not mourn, because tamerlan's soul is very much alive." >> it speaks to that death cult kind of ethos, where if i die or those closest to me die fighting for the cause, then they're considered martyrs and they go to heaven. >> after presenting only four witnesses, the defense rests. >> the prosecutor closed by saying, they thought they were soldiers, they thought they were going to bring the battle to boston. >> yes, they absolutely do. although, overwhelmingly, those of that faith would say what they're doing is aberrant. in their minds, in their hearts, they feel what they're doing is completely about their religion. >> after a month of emotional testimony from more than 90 witnesses, the jury takes just 11 1/2 hours to reach a verdict. >> it was so quiet in that courtroom, you could feel the tension, you could feel the
nerves. >> dzhokar tsarnaev, guilty on all 30 counts. >> it took 20 minutes to read the verdict. and i don't remember hearing any noise. i didn't hear any sniffles, i didn't hear any shouts, i heard nothing. >> now, defense attorney judy clark will try to convince a jury dzhokar tsarnaev's life is worth saving. >> it takes 12 votes for a death sentence. so all the defense has to do is persuade one juror a death sentence is not appropriate. >> there were jurors wrestling in their own head, whether they could do it. and not only whether they could do it, whether they could sentence someone to death, whether they actually thought that was the worse thing they could do to somebody. >> as the trial moves forward,
the stories of pain, loss, and resilience are not easily forgotte forgotten. >> bo richards' testimony just talking about his family and what a perfect day it was and how they went to get ice cream and what got me is when he said, i could tell you the flavors that they had. i remember everything. and you just think back to that day, as a parent, you think, those are the moments you remember, the little details. you can't ever get back that perfect moment when they were sitting there eating ice cream and all three of your children were alive and all three of your children had their legs. it was a tough moment.
the dzhokar tsarnaev trial resumes in just hours, and as the defense tries to convince a jury to spare the life of a terrorist in boston, the white house confirms the attack in texas this weekend was also terror. this is "cnn tonight." i'm don lemon. were the texas shooters under orders from isis? were their lone wolves? and how were more plotters are out there right now? you may be surprised. and also, state attorney's marilyn mosby working to build her case in tagainst six police officers. and this prom picture sparking outrage all across the country. i'll speak exclusively to the mother of one of the students, she is outraged too,a

Fashionista Pharrell Williams launches his new clothing line!
Flavourmag Team
In 2005 lead singer of The Neptunes, Pharrell Williams collaborated with Japanese fashion icon Nigo who founded A Bathing Ape (BAPE). The two icons united their creative minds to launch the luxury clothing brands, The Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream. Pharrell is known for his love of skateboarding as some of his music videos like Frontin featuring Jay-Z portray. The artist public stated that his interest in skateboarding influenced the creation of Billionaire Boys Club as reflected by the final production of cuts, themes and colours. Therefore this made the brand versatile among hip-hop, RnB fans and skater culture. Billionaire Boys Club T-Shirts are endorsed by professional skateboarders in television ads and public appearances. As the Billionaire Boys Club provides an assortment of clothing that show the BBC logo to be a key feature of the line. The designers use an assortment of vibrant shades and bold eye catching patterns with a unique line of T-Shirts that are influenced by Japanese street culture.
2011 has paved the way for Billionaire Boys Club to release their newest clothing line, Enn Why Why clothing. Although the release date has not yet been set there are talks for exclusive stores to open in London as well as around the world. The up and coming collection is set to take the urban fashion scene by storm and can be seen in this feature from the official Billionaire Boys Club site:

It is likely that you know about allergies. Either you are the person who suffers from allergies or you know of a person who is suffering from them. No matter what, you know the problems allergies cause. Thankfully, the article below offers many excellent tips that offer advice on how to effectively deal with those troublesome allergies.
TIP! Allergen that can't be avoided is dust mites. As you can probably guess, these little guys are living throughout your bedding and pillows, making a meal of your dead skin flakes.
To be on the safe side, test any new store-bought antihistamine at home first. Most of these contain ingredients that could impair your reflexes and even make you drowsy. Even if there aren't warnings, be sure that you take it easy so that you don't get too messed up. Make sure to drive carefully if you have to and don't drive if you feel strange.
TIP! During seasons when the pollen count is high, be sure to exercise outdoors only in the very early morning or during the evening hours. Research indicates that these are the times when pollen is at a low point, and you are likely to suffer the least ill effects.
Get rid of the carpeting in your home to fight allergies. Carpet is known for harboring pollen, dust and dust mites. Tile, laminate or wood floors can be considered to replace wall-to-wall carpet. That will create a major difference in the number of allergens you breathe in every day. If you cannot accomplish that goal, make sure you vacuum with great frequency.
TIP! One of the best things you can do to treat bronchial allergy systems is to ensure that your body is hydrated at all times. If you aren't hydrated, your mucosal membranes could get inflamed.
If you suffer from terrible allergy symptoms, always take note of the time. Normally pollen comes out the most from five to ten o'clock in the morning; do not go outdoors at this time. If you have to go outside, try not to stay out for very long and limit your activity.
If you have not had success with your first few attempts to relieve your allergies, don't give up. There are more than just ingestible options for allergy sufferers. Other alternatives include nasal sprays, nasal steroids, or eye drops.
TIP! If you are dealing with troublesome allergies, then pay attention to the time of day! Pollen is most oppressive between 5 and 10 o'clock in the morning, and therefore you should try not to be outside during that block of time. Try to keep it short and don't exert yourself if you do have to go outside during those hours.
If your allergies constantly give the same symptoms, it is generally better to treat the symptoms themselves instead of trying to avoid an allergic reaction. Thus, someone who is plagued by dry eyes ought to keep eye drops on hand. As another example, those with scratchy throats can carry throat lozenges or mints.
TIP! Though it may be unpleasant to do, keeping windows closed can prevent many allergens from entering the home. Allergens from outside easily move into your home through open windows.
If you have allergies and spot any kind of insects or rodents in your home have an exterminator come immediately. Insect and mice droppings can aggravate allergy symptoms. You may want to consider hiring an exterminator to get rid of these rodents.
When and where you exercise may have a tremendous effect on the type of allergic reactions you experience. When you exercise, you breathe harder. If you exercise inside and at the time the pollen population is not as high, it will reduce your pollen intake.
TIP! Many people who suffer from allergies have been advised to use humidifiers in their bedroom. This may be a bad idea, since the moisture from the humidifier can settle in the carpet, encouraging mustiness and possibly mold.
Even the wrong antiperspirant can be an allergy nightmare. A lot of the time they have ingredients in them that are horrible for your skin condition and will cause you to break out, they also seep into pores. These ingredients might not be good for you or your skin.
TIP! You can avoid one type of allergy attack by keeping your car clean, as well as keeping it closed! Using the air-conditioner and having all windows closed will prevent pollen from coming inside the car. Use a vacuum frequently to remove allergens from the upholstery and dust from the dashboard and other surfaces.
With everything you have learned thus far from this article, you have the knowledge to start making a difference in your life. You no longer have to face the issues allergies can cause empty-handed. You will feel so much better by using these tips.

Phoenix, Arizona (March 2012) - Centric Parts, a leading manufacturer and supplier of aftermarket brake and clutch components and systems, has once again been named Branded Supplier of the Year by Automotive Parts Associates (APA), a leading member-owned cooperative representing over one billion dollars of purchasing power annually. This is the fourth APA Branded Supplier of the Year award in a row for Centric Parts, which extends its record-breaking streak.

"It's truly an honor to be recognized again by APA," said Centric Parts Vice President of Sales, Mike Musso (at right), in accepting the award.

Centric has always striven to be the best - and it's awards like this that make us know we are succeeding in meeting our own high standards as well as those of our customers. A big thank you to APA for this honor."

valuation of shares,
where a market exists,
the net asset backing method,

Policy reference: SS Guide 4.7.2.30 Treatment of Assessable Assets - Private & Unlisted Public Companies - Not Assessed Under Trusts & Companies Rules, 4.6.5.50 Assessing Shares in Private & Unlisted Public Companies - Not Assessed Under Trusts & Companies Rules
While the new rules for trusts and companies have largely replaced methods of valuing shares in these companies, an acceptable method is still required where:
income support recipients have shareholdings in companies that are not covered by the new rules, or
assessment decisions need to be made in relation to income support recipients' entitlements before the introduction of the new rules on 1 January 2002.
Shares in private companies & unlisted public companies
A share in a private company or unlisted public company is an assessable asset (1.1.A.290) and needs to be valued for assets test purposes. The assets owned by the company, however, are NOT the property of the shareholder and therefore are NOT assessed as an asset of the income support recipient.
Valuation of shares
There are 3 accepted methods of valuing shares in private companies or unlisted public companies:
where a market exists - the market value, or
where a market for these shares does not exist - the net asset backing method, or
if there is no market for the shares, and it is inappropriate to use the net asset backing method - some other value (see following instructions).
Where a market for these shares exists, the market value is the most appropriate method. Otherwise the net asset backing method should be employed unless it is inappropriate to do so.
When a market exists
A market exists where there is:
a willing, but not over anxious buyer, and
a willing, but not over anxious seller, and
both parties are operating at arms length from one another and not subject to undue influence.
Generally, it will be rare for an effective market to exist for private companies or large unlisted public companies. However, such markets have operated:
on exempt stock exchanges operating mainly in larger regional centres, or
through a stockbroker willing to 'make' a market in the shares of a particular company, or
through the company itself (but note, such a market must be free of restrictions on sale), or
where 2 individuals meeting the above criteria exist.
The income support recipient should provide the necessary evidence that a market exists for the shares of a particular company.
The net asset backing method
Where no market exists, private company and unlisted public company shares are valued using the net asset backing method. The net asset backing method is the total net assets (current market value of all of the company assets less its total liabilities) divided by the number of shares issued with an entitlement to assets on wind-up.
Exception: If the shares do NOT carry rights to participate in capital distribution, or in certain other cases, other methods of valuing the shares are used (see additional instructions below).
Explanation 1: The Articles of Association of a company outline the special rights or restrictions attached to a particular class of shares issued by the company.
Explanation 2: The net asset backing method is used because it provides a consistent basis for the assessment of the value of all private and unlisted public companies. It is also less complex to administer than other methods. It calculates the:
adjusted net asset position of the company, by deducting the company liabilities from the current market value (1.1.M.40) of its assets, and
assessable value of the shares, by using the number of shares that have an entitlement to capital on wind-up to apportion the net assets of the company.
While it uses the shares that give access to capital on wind-up as a way of 'apportioning' the value of the company, the net asset backing method is NOT intended to give a notional value of the company on wind-up. The net asset backing method values the company as a going concern, and at a current market value. For this reason, ALL assets on the balance sheet, BOTH TANGIBLE and INTANGIBLE, should be used to calculate the value.
The net asset backing method uses information contained in the company balance sheet and depreciation schedule. Adjustments MAY be needed to reflect the current market value of these assets, because the balance sheet records values of fixed assets at their historical cost. The following table outlines how different assets are treated:
If the asset is…
Then use the…
a fixed asset, such as real estate, plant and equipment etc., current market value of the asset.
an intangible asset such as a patent or copyright, current market value of the asset.
an intangible asset such as goodwill or formation expenses, value shown on the balance sheet. In some cases where the business has ceased or the business has traded at a loss for a number of years, the historical amount may be adjusted.
all other assets, value shown on the balance sheet.
When to use net asset backing method for share valuation
Apply the net asset backing method where:
the income support recipients control the company (either through special rights of their shares or via an outright majority shareholding), or
the income support recipients are closely associated with the company controller (i.e. family members), and could reasonably be expected to have some influence on the controller, or
the income support recipients are the majority shareholders, where those shares entitle the recipients to the equivalent majority of the assets and confer equivalent voting rights on the recipients, or
the income support recipients made a decision to purchase the shares and therefore could reasonably be expected to be aware of the rights or conditions attached to the shares, or
where no one would be ascribed with control of that company and where the share register is widespread, and it is reasonably open to the income support recipients to either sell the shares at net asset backing value or initiate change in the company articles to allow this to happen, or
the income support recipients are active directors of the company in question.
Explanation: Active Directors are persons actively engaged in the day to day running of a company.
When NOT to apply the net asset backing method
Circumstances where the application of the net asset backing method MAY not be appropriate include:
the income support recipients inherited the shares, or
the income support recipients were 'given' the shares by their parents or the controller in circumstances where they could not be reasonably expected to understand what they were being given (i.e. shares were issued to minors and the children were unaware they had the shares), or
if the income support recipients were given the shares by the controller and those shares did not, in themselves, confer control etc (see below), or
the sole or dominant purpose of the income support recipients being issued with these shares was to comply with the former corporations law requirement that companies have at least 2 shareholders.
If one of these conditions is satisfied, and if the income support recipients have no influence over the controller or majority shareholder, then also consider whether the following circumstances may apply:
the income support recipients were not an active director of the company, and/or
the income support recipients' shares can be called away from them at any time, and/or
the company articles, or some other condition, prevents the sale of these shares at will (i.e. to whomsoever at whatever price).
If at least one of these conditions is also satisfied then an alternative valuation method could be used. Alternative methods include (but are not limited to):
the last sale price, where the last sale was free of undue influence, or
where the shares could be called away, the amount paid, or potentially could be paid, to the income support recipient when the call is made.
The method should be based on the circumstances of each case.
Note: The guiding principle in the value selected would be to choose the method that best reflects the beneficial interest in the assets the income support recipient holds as a result of holding the shares at the time the assessment is made.
Where the net asset backing method is NOT used the company accountants should be asked to supply the following information:
net asset backing per share, and
where the shares can be called away from the income support recipient the amount that would be paid for those shares, and
the price of any outstanding offer to buy these shares, and
any recent sales of shares, or
any other matter that may assist in determining an appropriate value for these shares.
Exception: The 'par' value, or valuation method based on the dividends paid (called the capitalisation of dividends) or on the company earnings (called the capitalisation of earnings), do not provide an accurate assessment of the income support recipient's beneficial interest in their share of the company assets.
Explanation: The level of private company dividends is often low or non-existent due to the common practice of retaining profits for reinvestment in the company. Basing a value on this factor will generally lead to an unjustifiably low value being given to the shares.
Likewise, the accounting policy and method through which returns are distributed to the shareholders can influence the earnings of a company. A valuation based on earnings can also produce an unjustifiably low value for company shares.
The par value is the issue price of the shares and has no relationship to current assets of the company. Further, under the current Corporations Act the 'par' value of a share is no longer recognised as a meaningful term.
If the income support recipient is in severe financial hardship (1.1.S.120) an interim assessment based on the income support recipient's estimate, can be used. In these circumstances the valuation is reviewed when the income support recipient's entitlement to be paid under the hardship provisions is reviewed.
When deprivation provisions apply
Deprivation provisions apply if the income support recipient influenced the action of a private company to:
issue further shares at their nominal value (normally $1.00) (see explanation), or
dispose of assets for less than their value and this reduces the value of an income support recipient's share/s in the company.
Explanation: The income support recipient will have engaged in a course of action to reduce the value of their assets by diluting the assessable value of the shares they hold in the company.
An income support recipient's influence should be assumed as a matter of course if the income support recipient, and/or their partner:
owns a majority of the issued shares of the company, or
hold shares with powers such as voting rights, which provide them with the ability to control the operation of the company.
Company in receivership
If a company is in receivership, the assessable asset value of the shares owned, or loans owed, should continue to be assessed as though the company were still managed by the directors.
Company in liquidation
If a company is in liquidation, assets to be maintained should be assessed on the basis of the projected payout to be received by the liquidator.
If an income support recipient advises that they have forgone repayment of a loan, or voluntarily agreed to receive a repayment of a lesser proportion of their loan than other unsecured creditors, deprivation provisions MAY apply. However, consideration should also be given to the circumstances in which a loan no longer exists for social security purposes.

I used not to understand why so many women care about getting flowers from their boyfriends/husbands - or, really, to understand people at all - but here's what I've learned. Maybe someone else can learn it the easy way, by just being told the rules.
You: "Did you see the new Superman movie?"
You: "I was disappointed at how they Batmanned it up."
You: "I mean, Superman is supposed to be an optimistic story."
You: "Looks like it might rain later."
Does it sound like this person wants to have a conversation with you? No, it does not. When someone is interested in conversing with you, they will riff off of what you're saying, respond to a conversational provocation with a new thought of their own, and take questions as an opening to talk about something they care about. When they're not interested, they will try to keep the conversation as short as possible, and give you no openings to extend it.
It's the same on the relationship level. If you want to be friends or romantic partners with someone, the normal thing to do is to suggest ways to spend time together, and either accept their invitations or suggest alternatives. You will accept some suggestions even if they're not things you'd normally do, because they are pretexts to hang out with the other person.
There is another type of conversational cue, non-verbal in nature. If someone is talking to you and you are interested in what they have to say - or if you want to get along with them and have a conversation even if they happen to be talking about something you don't particularly care about - the normal thing to do is to nod, possibly make affirming noises or gestures, and look at them. In romantic relationships, things like a man buying a woman flowers are equivalently socially normal signs that one is interested and wants to continue.
If you were having a conversation with someone, and they made no affirming gestures, but just looked at you with a blank face, you'd ask them what was wrong. And even if they assured you that they enjoyed your company and wanted to continue the conversation, it would still feel weird and unsatisfying.
If you are a man and you are dating a woman who has been taught that flowers are a normal way of expressing affection, and you don't give her flowers, it can feel every bit as weird and unsatisfying, even if you assure her that you enjoy her company and want to keep spending time with her. It doesn't really feel like someone likes you if they don't give you the normal social cues that they like you.
Of course, since there is more than one woman, not all women are the same or want or expect the same things. And of course you the reader might not be a man dating a woman - or might be trying to work on being a better friend instead of a better boyfriend. The concept of love languages is actually a really useful one here, and the gist of it is that different people expect affection to be shown in different ways. So what you actually have to do is pay attention.
If someone lights up when you give them a gift, but not when you hug them, then you need to get into the habit of giving them little gifts, even if you wouldn't feel good if you got them, because you naturally express your affection with touch - in that case, you have to figure out that what it feels like to you to get a hug, it feels like to them to get a physical object as a token of affection. The point is, your relationships will get a lot better if you start paying attention to what the other person cares about, and accept that as a fact about the world. It doesn't matter what seems like it should make the other person feel good, or what feels to you like a genuine expression of affection - the only thing that matters is what actually works. The thought doesn't count until you've learned the other person's language.
On the other hand, when you learn how someone else differs from you, you may also learn something about yourself, and be better able to articulate and express your own needs (which is also something a lot of people need to become more comfortable with - more on this in a future post). And you may start noticing that someone else is trying to express their affection for you much more than it seemed before - once you can understand which behaviors they personally find emotionally salient.

I'm taking my mom to the ER…she's been having some stomach trouble. It could be an ulcer based on her symptoms. She's had a lot of stress with our recent move and selling her home of 30 years; getting rid of lots of acquired "stuff". In the midst of all that her sister was diagnosed with cancer and given 3-6 months to live, and her brother in law had a heart attack a few weeks ago. Plus her remaining 2 siblings were also diagnosed with cancer.
It's been a rough year!
To make things worse, I have not presented it in a way that was well received…they have all been offended. Praying God will clean that up as I stop trying to "be right" and just let His word speak for itself.
Dear Jackie, my heart goes out to you and your family. I am praying for your mom right now, for healing body, mind and spirit. I understand your heart about sharing the good news of Jesus. We will keep praying for this. The Holy Spirit will open the right doors at the right time. Sending hugs.
May I share this on my post for December Prayer requests?
I have prayed for you, my friend, and your family. I will continue to do so. Most of my family is lost, although those who were in the Catholic Church have left. It seems like our families are the hardest to reach.
Yes…they are. Thank you for your prayers.
I pray that God will move in ways that blow our minds in all of the situations mentioned above. You may have planted seeds that someone else will water. I will pray for you also that He will give you grace and all you need.
Thank you so much. I sure do need it!
Jackie I just prayed for your mom; tonight on WordPress I'm running into a lot of prayer requests and I'm gladly praying.
Thank you so much. I just posted an update. I appreciate all the prayers. Is there anything I can pray about for you?
Absolutely! Praying these folks would remember to search the scriptures to find the peace the need. And praying for you, Brother Jim to let the word be a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path (Psalm 119:105) bringing the word to those you counsel…in Jesus name all to the glory of God!
Hi I will keep you and your family in my prayers remember God is in still on His Throne and in control and He knows what is going on. Check out Psalm 119:67-71.
Amen by the way I did a post a while back called CityALight Songs if you click on my username and go to my blog there is a search box if you type that in you can listen to the songs if you want to it's totally up to you don't have to.

Selena Gomez, Naomi Campbell, and Pretty Much Every Celebrity Loves Alexander McQueen's New 'Story' Bag
Kaia Gerber, Selena Gomez, and Naomi Campbell are all sources of fashion inspiration. [Side note: Kaia Gerber has no business dressing so well for an eighteen-year-old. At that age, especially if you grew up in the 2000s, we all struggled though waist-slung belts and statement necklaces like sad extras on Gossip Girl. End rant.] And lately, there has been a single bag tying them all together.
alexandermcqueen.com
All three celebs have carried Alexander McQueen's Story Bag, and it finally drops today. Gerber and Campbell were both seen during fashion month carrying the style, and Gomez wore it in New York City when she changed her outfit three times in one day. They're not the only ones who got to wear the before its release: Soo Joo Park, Liya Kebede, and more have been spotted with the Story.

It's no wonder why everyone is obsessed with it: You can carry it in three different ways. The silhouette reminds us of vintage ladylike top-handles, it has a detachable cross-body strap, and there's a genius front hardware piece that allows you to carry it like a clutch. It comes in four colors, all inspired by endangered and extinct flowers, which were also referenced in the designer's spring-summer collection. In black, this bag could easily be your new favorite to wear on the daily, but even the bright orchid bag is something that translates from day to night. If you're looking for something with a little more volume, they also launched the Tall Story, a tote with similar design notes.
At $2,190, the leather bag is definitely an investment, but isn't that what the holidays are all about?

"She Looks So Perfect" is a song by Australian pop rock band 5 Seconds of Summer, taken from their self-titled debut album, 5 Seconds of Summer (2014). The song was digitally released in Australia on 23 February 2014 and in Europe on 23 March 2014 through Capitol Records and Hi or Hey Records, as their debut single with a major record label. The accompanying music video was released on 24 February 2014. The song peaked at number one in Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and the United Kingdom. It was certified triple platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association for selling 210,000 copies. The song also won "Song of the Year" at the ARIA Music Awards in 2014. Ed Sheeran covered the song on Capital FM.

Background
"She Looks So Perfect" has been described as pop punk, power pop and pop rock. It was written by band members Michael Clifford and Ashton Irwin along with Jake Sinclair, who also produced the song, with additional production by Eric Valentine. The single is the leading track on the band's She Looks So Perfect EP, and is the first track on the band's self-titled debut studio album.

Critical reception

Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song a mixed review, stating that:
"While their influences clearly nod towards pop-punk godfathers Green Day and Blink-182, 5SOS's official debut 'She Looks So Perfect' is strewn with teen heartthrob clichés. "We worked too damn hard for this just to give it up now," Luke tells his flame over a plucky electric guitar, before the song bursts into a lofty chorus and further promises of diamond rings and plane tickets. It's the age-old tale of a forbidden romantic runaway; trouble is, with this anthem poised to scale the chart, slipping away unnoticed will soon prove slightly more difficult.

The Wire wrote that the song sounds as if it were purposely crafted as power pop to appeal to fans of a boy band, but an "infinitesimally edgier" boy band than One Direction. Billboard called the song "school rock" and described it as a "slick crowd pleaser" performed live for the 2014 Billboard Music Awards show. Rachael McArthur of Renowned for Sound gave a mixed review stating, "The vocals are very polished and boy-bandy and delivered with great enthusiasm." However was critical of the lyrics more specifically the line, "I'm so down" during the chorus calling it, "a little annoying." In 2018, the song was ranked twentieth by Billboard in their compilation of the 100 Greatest Boyband Songs of All Time.

Chart performance
On 1 March 2014, "She Looks So Perfect" debuted at number three on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart, being kept off the top spot by Clean Bandit's "Rather Be" and Pharrell Williams' "Happy". The song finally reached number one on its fifth week on the chart, as well as being certified Platinum for sales of 70,000 copies. Likewise, it debuted at number four on the New Zealand Singles Chart and in its fifth week, the song jumped from number nine to number one. The week after, it was certified Gold.

"She Looks So Perfect" debuted at number one on the Irish Singles Chart on 27 March 2014. On 30 March, it debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart with about 94,000 copies sold in first week. It was the fourth UK number one single by a band from Australia and the first since Madison Avenue's "Don't Call Me Baby", topped the chart in May 2000. In its second week, "She Look So Perfect" dropped to tenth place, which is the biggest drop from the top spot since McFly's double single "Baby's Come Back"/"Transylvania", who tie this record with Elvis Presley's re-release "One Night"/"I Got Stung" from 2005 and dropped from number one to number 20 in April 2007.

"She Looks So Perfect" entered on the US Billboard Hot 100 on 12 April 2014. On 24 May 2014, six weeks after their debut, "She Looks So Perfect" reached number 37. A week later, the track reached its peak position at number 32, becoming the band's first top 40 single. As of December 2014, the single has sold 925,000 copies in the US.

How can I find out more about a topic that I am interested in?
An Advanced Higher Investigation or an Extended Project will probably be your first chance to try out a real scientific investigation, and to "write your own question" as well as find out the answer. Choose something that fascinates you, and your research will be enjoyable, rather than a chore. This article will help you start to plan your project.
The Projects section of this website is full of protocols to help you get started with practical scientific investigations – but don't forget that these are just a starter. You will need to put much more thinking and research in yourself to make them a successful project.
Is there an area of biology which particularly interests you?
Is there a topic in biology which puzzles you?
Are you an expert in a specific area of biology?
Is there someone you can ask, to help you think of a project?
Are there other projects that you can look at?
You may already be thinking about a career in medical research, nature conservation, ecology, horticulture, molecular biology, agriculture, agronomy, crop science, or one of the many other subjects related to plant science.
Alternatively, you may have an interest in a particular area of plant science, such as medical plants, seaweeds, gardening, fungi, wild flowers, plant physiology, biochemistry etc.
If this appeals to you, try to find something in your chosen area. This will be more interesting for you and it could be useful as a topic for discussion when you go for an interview, or when filling in your applications for a job or training.
Some of the best projects are often those which try to find the answer to questions or comments which have been made by people who know little about biology, such as 'Why do some plants close their petals at night?' These broad questions can make a great starting point to develop a specific question to investigate in your project. Don't be frightened of tackling difficult questions: try to break them down into simple stages. Discuss it with your teacher, they may be able to help you to design an experiment to get you started.
If you already have an interest in a specific area, such as medical plants, ecology, plant propagation, sea weeds etc., you will already have considerable information on which to draw. Perhaps this knowledge can give you an idea.
Do you have a family friend who works in a relevant profession or may have an interest in plants, and who you feel you can speak to, to ask advice?
You could visit a nature reserve and talk to the warden, talk to staff at a garden centre, or you may know a researcher in plant sciences or a farmer who you can talk to.
Your own teacher will be able to help you once you have an idea of your own.
If they're available, have a look at projects from previous years' students at your school. Sometimes these give ideas for follow up work, or for investigations in a related area. You will also be able to see what sort of standard you are aiming for and what sort of equipment is available.
Journals such as School Science Review, Biological Sciences Review and Journal of Biological Education include new techniques which are suitable for use in schools. Sometimes a new technique will suggest questions which you could answer using that technique. Talk to your teacher to see if they have copies available.
How can I find out about a topic that I am interested in?
Remember that you will need to keep a list of sources of information to put in your reference section or Project Log, so keep a careful note of the reference (author, title, publisher and date), as well as the information gleaned from it.
Your ordinary textbook will make a good place to start looking. Use the index to look up related topics.
There may be other relevant books in the biology or school libraries; the latter will probably have British Lending Library forms.
Don't forget encyclopaedias, magazines etc.
The Internet is be a vital resource, but make sure that the websites you use are reliable and up-to-date. Check who wrote the information, what their qualifications are, and when they wrote it.
The Public Library. If you do not find what you want, ask at the desk and they may be able to guide you to a suitable book. If you know the title of a book you want to read, the library will try to get a copy for you through their inter-library loan service (you may have to pay a small fee for this).
If there is a university or college near where you live, you could ask if you could use the library and ask them to direct you to the best section to look in.
You can also ask people you know.
Sometimes there will be a teacher who has a special interest in your topic area.
Ask a student in the year above you.
Do you know somebody studying a biological science at university?
Your teacher will know what books and journals are available in your library and will try to answer your questions, but they will have to be careful not to give you too much help or it may have to be declared on your final project report.
Plan your first experiments carefully. If you can, carry out a pilot experiment and time how long it takes to make your measurements so you can then plan your time effectively.
Write down the hypothesis you are testing (eg "Daisies will continue to open and close their petals in a 24 hour cycle if they are kept in a dark cupboard.").
Avoid changing more than one variable at a time. Remember you need data to analyse and comment on.
Ask yourself how many "replicates" or repeats you will need (or you can manage) to add more validity to the results. Make sure you have included controls wherever necessary.
Think about testing your data statistically, to prove its reliability. This will probably affect what measurements you take and how you take them so you will need listen carefully to the Statistics Lessons and then consult your teacher or a friendly statistics book such as Maths for advanced biology by Alan Cadogan and Malcom Ingram (Nelson 2002).
Write down the details of your experiment so that anyone else could repeat it from your instructions.
Keep a diary of how your project developed, so that you can write a clear report and tell others about what you have done.
