it foundered and broke apart on a mud shoal, dumping its cargo of peas into the water. When the peas sprouted, an island eventually emerged. Ergo, the legend of how Pea Patch Island came into existence between Delaware City, Del., and Salem County, N.J. Habitation on the island remained relegated to migratory birds until the early 19th century. As it grew in size, government officials recognized the potential for inclusion of Pea Patch in a military defense system for the Atlantic coastal area.…

These projects are the proposal for organized migratory movement of population by Edward Gibbon Wakefield and Professor Alfred Marshall; the proposal for land tenure system by Thomas Spence and Herbert Spencer; and the model city called Victoria by James Silk Buckingham.

The Oxford English Dictionary defines being “spoon-fed” as being “fed with a spoon.” And although this is most certainly true, there is so much more to the word. As a child, I loved to be spoon-fed – mashed carrots, soft yams, mushy peas. I loved them all. But it didn’t end there. I also had an insatiable curiosity. Where did the dinosaurs go? Why is that man homeless? Where do babies come from? My parents would always patiently listen and spoon-feed me a quick and simple answer. Growing up I…

the consumption of oxygen in germinating peas as it underwent changes in temperatures of either ten degrees Celsius, or 22 degrees Celsius (room temp.) to the oxygen consumption of dried peas as it also underwent the same temperatures of ten and 22 degrees Celsius. I hypothesized that the germinating peas would consume more oxygen than the dormant/dry peas at the 22 degree temperature rather than at the ten degree temperature because the germinating peas are supporting growing tissues and need…
