This document provides tips for effectively taking notes from research sources for a research paper. It recommends recording page numbers, distinguishing between paraphrased, summarized, and quoted information, and keeping works cited information with each source. The document also advises organizing and categorizing notes, determining which to use in the paper, and connecting quoted passages in the written work to make claims supported by evidence. Students are asked to devise a personalized research note-taking plan.

The document provides guidance on selecting a research topic and conducting research on marriage and divorce trends in America. It recommends turning the topic into a question to guide the search, such as how the divorce rate has changed in the last 10 years or the causes of divorce. The document also offers tips on researching the topic through internet searches, interviews, newspapers, magazines and evaluating sources, as well as gathering only the most relevant information to answer the research question.
The document provides guidance on how to properly cite and analyze a passage from a play in an essay. It recommends italicizing or underlining the play's title, identifying the author, introducing and quoting the selected passage using quotation marks, citing the page number in parentheses, briefly explaining the context, and expanding on the analysis by relating the passage to the essay's central claim. It also provides a sample paragraph that follows these guidelines by analyzing a key moment from A Doll House involving the motif of the mailbox.
Yams and sweet potatoes are often confused but are actually different plants. The name "yam" was given to sweet potatoes in North America by enslaved Africans who called them by their word for yam, "nyami". True yams are only found in tropical regions and can grow much larger than sweet potatoes. While stores often label sweet potatoes as yams, true African yams would be found in African, Caribbean, or Asian markets. Yams have a brown bark-like peel while sweet potatoes have a smoother skin.
Climate change and locusts in the WANA regionFAOLocust
A presentation made by Keith Cressman, FAO Senior Locust Forecasting Officer, at the WMO/FAO International Conference of Adaptation to Climate Change and Food Security in West Asia and North Africa (Kuwait City, 13-16 Nov 2011). The presentation gives an overview of Desert Locust population dynamics, climatological effects and adaptation strategies.
The Desert Locust is probably the oldest and most feared migratory pest in the world, plaguing farmers in Africa and Asia since Phaoronic times. Under optimal conditions, locusts increase rapidly and form swarms. A single swarm, larger than Paris or Cairo, can contain billions of insects, migrate across continents, and eat enough food for 2,500 people in one day. During plagues, vulnerable households can find themselves in debt, limited national resources are rapidly depleted and food security can be at risk in affected countries. It can take several years and hundreds of millions of dollars to bring a plague to an end. Changes in the climate during the remainder of this century will affect Desert Locust habitats, breeding, migration and plague dynamics in West Asia and North Africa (WANA). Although it is widely acknowledged that WANA will become warmer, there are differing views about changes in precipitation under the various climate change scenarios. General trends may contain hidden variations within the regions and countries. Certain areas will become more prone to extreme events such as flooding and droughts. Regular assessment of climate change impacts is a component of the locust early warning system operated by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations to monitor the global situation and alert locust-affected countries and international donors. The latest scientific evidence is reviewed to postulate potential effects on the Desert Locust. It is probably reasonable to assume that this ancient pest, which is particularly well suited for survival under difficult conditions in arid areas and has successfully endured previous changes in the climate, will adapt to climate changes in the foreseeable future.
