All gambling is based on a belief in chance, luck, or fate. It is the belief there is some force out there called fate which randomly causes winners and losers. When you hit the daily double, luck was on your side. When the person next to you gets the ace you needed, luck was with him and against you.
A. Climate: Commercial varieties of sesame require 90 to 120 frostfree days. Daytime temperatures of 77Â°F to 80Â°F are optimal; below 68Â°F, growth is reduced, and at 50Â°F germination and growth is inhibited. Sesame is very drought-tolerant, due in part to an extensive root system.
The average growing season (freeze-free period) for the principle agricultural areas is approximately 125 days (Figure 3.5). For hardier plants which can stand a temperature of 28 F or slightly lower the growing season in the agricultural areas east of the Divide is approximately 145 days. Figure 3.5.
