	Black History Month: the History of Black History
		Americans have recognized fl history annually since 1926, first as "Negro History Week" and later as "Black History Month." What you might not know is that fl history had barely begun to be studied-or even documented-when the tradition originated.
		Although fls have been in America at least as far back as colonial times, it was not until the 20th century that they gained a respectable presence in the history books.
		Woodson chose the second week of February for Negro History Week because it marks the birthdays of two men who greatly influenced the fl American population, Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln.

	Science Question of the Week - black holes - October 18, 2002
		Black holes are invisible -- or as a scientist is likely to say, quiescent -- until matter passes by.
		Also, although fl holes are notorious for swallowing matter, they somehow manage to push matter away in collimated jets moving at near the speed of light.
		This is because the fl hole itself is generating light, like a dynamo, and also because millions of stars are slowly falling into the gravitational well of the fl hole.

	In the Black
		Black feels it is simply accepting the world as it is. Humans (and humanoids for that matter) are essentially selfish beings.
		Black is the color most prone to infight and to allow it own demons (both figuratively and literally) to drag it down.
		Black’s greatest strength is its willingness to use any resource that will help it advance its cause.

	Black Velvet Alocasia - Plant of the Week
		Black Velvet alocasia is one of several species of alocasias native in Southeast Asia, with this plant probably coming from the jungles of Borneo.
		Alternatively, the white veins of Black Velvet alocasia reflect almost all of the visible spectra producing the fl on white contrast of the plant.
		Black Velvet alocasia has moved from the obscurity of the plant collector to mainstream status because of the alchemy of the plant tissue culture specialists.

	Austrian Black Pine - Plant of the Week
		The tree was an Austrian fl pine (Pinus nigra) that had the potential of reaching 50 feet in height, but mine was only 30 feet tall, a foot for each year of life.
		The "fl" ascribed to the common name is descriptive, for it is a somber tree.
		Like many trees, Austrian fl pines are adaptable and easy to grow for the first 25 years of their life, but once they reach adulthood they begin to suffer.

	Spiders Gallery Week Three
		Black widow spiders, for better or worse, have a reputation for their deadly bites.
		Notorious for their remarkably venomous bite, the fl widow is one of the most feared spiders.
		The fl widow gets it name from the female's practice of attacking and eating her mate after performing their mating routine.

	Black History Month
		The first celebration of fl history began in the early 1900's due to the efforts of the historian and educator Dr.
		Black history had been largely left out of the history books and this week encouraged Americans to learn about a rich history they could not read in mainstream books.
		Artist/dollmaker Angela Briggs seems to be on an inspired mission as she creates her wrap dolls in a style that originated during the time of slavery, and also as she shares these dolls, and their respective stories, with children and adults.

	Discovering Black Holes - Week 6 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		This tutorial shows how research into fl holes has helped to explain other astronomical phenomena like quasars, which were previously inexplicable to science.
		Superliminal jets and radio lobes emitted from quasars are comparable in important ways to radiation emitted from smaller, stellar-mass fl holes, suggesting that at the heart of quasars are supermassive fl holes.
		The origin of these fl holes is still something of a mystery to science, although scientists have begun to develop models for their formation and development.

	Dr. Carter Woodson, Founder of Black History Month -- Courtesy of The Freeman Institute
		Perhaps more importantly, Woodson knew that in a society where fl intelligence and moral worth is incessantly demeaned and devalued, studying fl history would serve as a psychological defense shield for fl students against the assaults of white supremacy.
		On the other hand, fl social mobility, (or lack thereof) cannot be understood without understanding the devastating impact of not only two centuries of slavery but a hundred years of organized, state-supported attacks on "free" fl communities after slavery.
		For sure, there have been many fls who have overcome the odds, which is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.

	A Black Week for Sea Turtles
		The culinary traditions of Holy Week in predominantly Catholic Mexico are a threat to the survival of this millennia-old species.
		The number of turtles killed each year to supply the fl market in Mexico and the United States reaches 35,000, poet Homero Aridjis, president of the environmental International Group of 100, told Tierramérica.
		Consumption of turtle meat reaches its peak during Lent, which is why "we appeal to the ecological conscience of the Vatican, because the Church hierarchy could contribute a great deal towards disseminating the notion of respect for animal life," said Aridjis.

	Discovering Black Holes - Week 4
		Black holes do not emit radiation, so at first glance it seems fruitless to search for fl holes with telescopes like those described in the "Tools of the Astronomer" tutorial.
		However, in this tutorial we will learn how fl holes are often discovered through their gravitational impact on a neighboring star: matter is drawn from a companion star toward the compact object and superheated by the intense gravitational field, resulting in the discharge of high energy X-rays.
		Measurements of these fluctuations can tell us the velocity of the companion star, which can then be entered into the mass function equation to estimate the mass of the invisible compact object and determine whether it is a fl hole.

	Black Bike Week
		Black Bike Week was originally started by the Flaming Knight Riders in Atlantic Beach in 1980.
		The NAACP lawsuits against the city and some city officials have been settled, for now, with the Bike Week a week earlier being forced into the the same one-way traffic pattern.
		There has also been discrimination against the lesser tanned and tatooed caucasian bikers - the former mayor lost his reelection bid after he refused to see anything wrong with the concept of “nudging a motorcycle” with his car because its’ rider was wearing a t-shirt he considered offensive.

	BlackNews.com - Federal Court Orders Equal Treatment For Black Tourists
		When the fl tourists arrive, restaurants close, hotels implement special policies, and the City restricts travel along the main drag of Myrtle Beach -- Ocean Boulevard, which is converted into an oppressive one-way traffic pattern that restricts traffic with limited exit points.
		The city government argued that a more-restrictive traffic pattern is necessary during “Black Bike Week” due to increased traffic gridlock and an increased need for safety, but the Court said the defendants “failed to show that a one-way traffic pattern clearly reduces congestion or is more accessible to emergency vehicles than a two-way traffic pattern.”
		Its half-million adult and youth members throughout the United States and the world are frontline advocates for civil rights in their communities and monitor equal opportunity in the public and private sectors.

	Empire Week V: Black Legends
		To be morally superior, however, there needs to be someone else out there who is morally inferior, and these characterizations were assigned by creating fl legends of competing imperialists.
		In the early days, the British contrasted themselves with the Spanish and Portuguese conquistadors whom they portrayed as bloodthirsty and fanatical (British comparisons with the Romans allowed them to pick a temporally distant and idealized empire around which to articulate a ‘white legend’ and advance their own prestige by association).
		The language for speaking about what bringing civilization to the natives entailed had changed dramatically from a religious to a secular one, but the capacity of imperial states to enforce the transfer to ëcivilized life’ was increased exponentially.
