Good Drainage: Raised beds are best, wide individual holes, 18” deep;Good Mulch: Will keep weeds down, soil cool (pine nuggets)Minimum 6 hours of sun: Preferably morning sun (and some afternoon shade if possible)Consistent Water: Hybrid Teas - minimum 2 inches per week, use soaker hoses, sprinklers, etc.Old Garden Roses - in summer a minimum of once per week- very deeply.

Good Air Circulation: Don’t put roses in corners or right up against walls or fences. This helps prevent diseases. Regular Fertilizer: Start after pruning in late Feb or early Mar, & continue through August.

Monitor pH: Slightly acid between 6 - 6.8. This will allow plants to take up maximum nutrients.No competition: Tree roots are greedy water and fertilizer uses, your roses can’t compete. Plant outside drip-line of large trees. Container roses:Should be sliced out of their pots.It’s best not to pull them out because you will damage the delicate feeder roots and could kill the plant.

During the first year remove only the spent blooms - leave as much foliage on the plant to build up strength. Be patient, next year you can take all the long stem cuttings you want. Favorite Rosarian Soil Amendments:Lime - 1 cup applied twice a year in January & June (do a soil test every other year)Gypsum - 1/2 to 1 cup - source of calcium, loosens clay soils, leaches out fertilizer salts (no pH chg)Magnesium Sulfate - (Epson Salts) 1/4 cup around bush, apply in April & August, stimulates basal breaks, deepens green leaf colorAlfalfa Meal or Pellets - contains a growth stimulant, great organic fertilizer, 3/4 cup in April and July, also makes a smelly tea that roses love (put around your Hosta’s too!

)Fish Emulsion - good overall liquid fertilizer makes miniature roses grow especially well. Fertilizer Recommendations: Espoma’s RoseTone, and StaGreens’ Rose Food. Osmocote combines organic fertilizers and chemical fertilizers - will give you the best results.

About 280 million pages in 1999, between 15 and 30 billion now (but it'll depend on how you define terms) This one depends a lot on how you define terms, and that in turn is affected by what information is readily available. In 1999, the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) estimated, by randomly sampling IPv4 addresses, that there were about 2.2 million public web *sites* (and another 1.4 million not publicly accessible, under construction or with no meaningful content). For the public sites in their sample, they crawled the HTTP servers and found the average size was about 129 *pages*, with relatively few "megasites" comprising most of the pages.

Putting those two together gives about 280 million publicly accessible *pages*. Their methodology did not make any attempt to measure the size of private sites.(oclc.org/research/publications/archive/r...). More recent figures generally measure the "indexable web", that is, sites indexed by the major search engines.

Since each engine has its own criteria and there is some (but not total) overlap among them deriving a total figure from that is a bit inexact. A study in 2005 at the University of Iowa estimated at least 11.5 billion (cs.uiowa.edu/~asignori/web-size/). More recent measurements indicate 15 to 30 billion as of 2007 (pandia.com/sew/383-web-size.html).

Since not all publicly available pages are indexed, comparing the 1999 figure to the recent figures is not quite comparing apples to apples, but it appears to be as close as one can get. Storical data on the size and overlap of the major search engines' databases can be found at searchengineshowdown.com/statistics/, particularly searchengineshowdown.com/statistics/change.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
