FACT: What would be easier than posting facts, would be posting *incorrect* facts that people *think* are facts. Because all we would have to do is copy/paste whatever people put on their Facebook pages.
FACTS: Facebook will NOT donate $10,000 to that kid that needs a surgery if "this post" gets 100,000 likes. Pepsi did NOT come out with a can with The Pledge Of Allegiance on it without the words "under God". That Lottery winner is NOT going to share it with a random Facebook person who likes "this post". The White House is NOT calling it a "Holiday Tree". Yoga is NOT a religion, and they are NOT going to try to "convert" you.

The Suez Canal was begun in 1858 and was formally opened to maritime traffic in November 1869. Its cost, including harbors, is estimated at $100,000,000. Its length is 100 miles, 75 of which were excavated; its width is generally 325 feet at the surface, and 75 feet at the bottom, with a depth 26 feet. The workers employed in the construction project were chiefly natives, and many were drafted by the Khedive. The number of laborers is estimated at 30,000. The British government owned the canal as it owned most of the stock. Upon nationalization of the Suez Canal Company in 1956 by Egypt is said to have resulted in the invasion of the canal zone by the French and British (coinciding with the invasion of the Sinai Peninsula by the Israelis), whose oil supplies depended in large measure upon...

The tomato russet mite (Aculops lycopersici) and is a common problem in warm climates, notes University of Arizona Maricopa County Cooperative Extension (MCCE) Master Gardener Olin Miller. The mites suck cell contents, first from the stems and leaves and later from the fruit. The mites are too small to be seen without a magnifying glass.
Good gardening practices may help control the tomato russet mite. Examine plants carefully for signs of distress before purchasing. Eliminate weed hosts near planting areas, where the mites may live. Dispose of mite-infested plant residue and any mulch surrounding the plant.
