If one word sums up the life and work of Anna Politkovskaya, Russia's foremost investigative reporter assassinated at the age of 48, it is bravery. She could have chosen another life. Born and raised in New York, the daughter of Ukrainian UN diplomats, she was part of a Soviet elite that looked after its own. As a child, she had the best of both worlds: her parents could smuggle banned books out of the country, so she could write her dissertation about whomever she pleased. She alighted upon a poet shunned by Moscow, the émigré Marina Tsvetayeva.

She took from her background the social self-confidence that comes from rubbing shoulders with four-star generals round the kitchen table. But the earth was moving under the Soviet empire, and unlike many of her circle who saw perestroika as an opportunity to cash in their privilege, Politkovskaya moved instinctively in the opposite direction. After graduating in journalism from Moscow State University in 1980, she joined the daily Izvestia, before switching to the small independent press, first with Obshchaya Gazeta, then Novaya Gazeta.

She never saw herself as a war correspondent; indeed, Russia's first disastrous foray into Chechnya, from 1994 to 1998, almost passed her by. It is an irony of her story that the war she did not write about was brought to a halt by crusading journalism. Nightly reports chronicling the civilian cost of Russian artillery bombardments, broadcast on the independent television station NTV, had the same effect as the coverage of Vietnam had done on American audiences 30 years earlier. The Kremlin opted to sue for peace.

At the time, Politkovskaya was writing about state orphanages and the plight of the old: "I was interested in reviving Russia's pre-revolutionary tradition of writing about our social problems. That led me to writing about the seven million refugees in our country. When the war started, it was that that led me down to Chechnya."

By the start of the second Chechen war in 1999, the Kremlin had learned its lessons. The absence of reporting from the other side and lock-down on the battlefield put the Federal Security Service (FSB) in charge and set Chechen against Chechen. That was when Politkovskaya came into her own as a campaigning journalist.

She was in little doubt that Russia had been provoked. The relatively moderate wing of Chechen resistance, led by its former president Aslan Maskhadov, had run out of money. Into the vacuum swept money from the Wahabbis and foreign fighters like the Arab known as Khattab. When 9/11 provided an international parallel, it was only too convenient for the Russian president, Vladimir Putin. Shamil Basayev (obituary, July 11), a Chechen warlord who dreamed of creating a Muslim state across the north Caucasus, linked up with Khattab and invaded Dagestan, a fragile patchwork of Christian and Muslim tribes and part of the Russian Federation.

Politkovskaya agreed that Russia had to react. "But it was the way they did it," she said. "It was clear to me it was going to be total war, whose victims were first and foremost going to be civilian."

What followed was an excoriating series of articles and two books baring Russia's soul to the atrocities committed in its name - events like the "cleansing operation" of a village called Starye Atagi from January 28 to February 5 2002, and the shooting of six innocent villagers on a bus by members of a GRU military intelligence patrol, who then set fire to the vehicle to make it look as if it had been hit by rebel rockets. Politikovskaya always said she wrote for the future; indeed, court action about that incident grinds on to this day.

Her first book, A Dirty War: A Russian Reporter in Chechnya (2001), chronicled not so much what Russia was doing to Chechnya, but what Chechnya was doing to Russia. Putin's Russia (2004) described how new Russians got their money, through a combination of violence and old-fashioned thievery: it was to save the dying embers of democracy at home that she flew repeatedly back into the cauldron of the north Caucasus.

Politkovskaya had already used up several of her nine lives as a reporter. She had been locked in a hole in the ground by Russian troops and threatened with rape, kidnapped, and poisoned by the FSB on the first flight to Rostov after the Beslan school siege in 2004. She had acted as a negotiator in the Dubrovka theatre siege in Moscow in 2002, when 129 people died after the special services released gas into the building. In 2001, she had been forced to flee to Vienna. But she always came back for more, even at personal cost. Her husband left her. Her son pleaded with her to stop. Her neighbours, cowed by the attentions of the FSB in an upmarket street in central Moscow, shunned her.

For months she had been focusing on Ramsan Kadyrov, the son of a murdered Chechen president, who nurtured presidential ambitions himself. For some time, according to Politkovskaya, he had been telling anyone who would listen that her days were numbered. "The women in the crowd tried to conceal me because they were sure the Kadyrov people would shoot me on the spot if they knew I was there," Politkovskaya said. "They reminded me that Kadyrov publicly vowed to murder me. He actually said during a meeting of his government that Politkovskaya was a condemned woman."

In the last interview she gave, to the independent Radio Svoboda, Politkovskaya said she planned to publish in today's Novaya Gazeta the results of a large investigation into torture in Chechnya. The article was never sent. She is survived by her son Ilya and daughter Vera.

Lesson: The Importance of Bravery in Journalism

Introduction:
Journalism is a crucial profession that helps to inform the public about events happening around them. However, being a journalist can be dangerous, especially when reporting on sensitive issues. In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of bravery in journalism through the life and work of Anna Politkovskaya, a Russian investigative reporter who was assassinated at the age of 48.

Section 1: Background Information
Anna Politkovskaya was born and raised in New York City, USA, to Ukrainian UN diplomats. She had access to banned books and could write her dissertation about any topic she desired. She chose to write about a poet shunned by Moscow, Marina Tsvetayeva.

Section 2: Why Bravery is Important in Journalism
Bravery is essential in journalism because reporters often have to cover sensitive topics that may put their lives in danger. Politkovskaya chose to report on human rights violations in Chechnya, which was a dangerous topic to cover in Russia. She knew that her reporting could put her life in danger, but she felt it was her duty to inform the public about the atrocities happening in Chechnya.

Section 3: Examples of Brave Reporting
Politkovskaya's reporting on Chechnya was brave because she risked her life to bring the truth to light. She interviewed victims of human rights violations and reported on the atrocities happening in the region. Her reporting led to international outrage and pressure on the Russian government to stop the violence in Chechnya.

Section 4: Conclusion
In conclusion, bravery is an essential quality for journalists to possess. Politkovskaya's reporting on Chechnya showed that journalists must be willing to take risks to bring the truth to light. Her bravery led to international outrage and pressure on the Russian government to stop the violence in Chechnya. We can apply the skills gained from this lesson to other areas of our lives, such as standing up for what is right even when it is difficult.

Glossary:
- Journalism: the profession of collecting, writing, editing, and distributing news or other information
- Investigative reporter: a journalist who conducts in-depth research to uncover information and stories
- Atrocity: an act of shocking cruelty or violence
- Human rights violations: actions that go against the basic rights and freedoms of humans

Self-Debate:
What are some ways that journalists can stay safe while reporting on sensitive topics?

Q:

Building dependant projects using jenkinsm maven3 and docker

How do I import a newly build jar file into a jenkins/Docker automatic build process run using maven3?
I have projectA and the CoreProject (this has all the common methods).
Both are currently set up to build within Jenknin(on docker) using maven, Core is building successfully and creating a Jar file and saving it within it's own project.  Project A is complaining that it does not have access to the core methods.  How can I then import the Core jar into projectA using Maven3/Jenkins?  Or should I be using something else to make this new Jar available?

A:

I found the issue.  I had the Core project building I just was not adding the reference in the projectA pom.xml file.  After following several misdirections i was able to get the ProjectA to build by adding Core Jar following standard maven dependency tags

Lesson: Building Dependent Projects using Jenkins, Maven, and Docker

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn how to build dependent projects using Jenkins, Maven, and Docker. We will focus on importing a newly built jar file into another project and making it available during the build process.

Core Concepts:
1. Jenkins - an open-source continuous integration server.
2. Maven - a software project management and comprehension tool based on the concept of a project object model (POM).
3. Docker - a platform for building, shipping, and running applications.

Step 1: Setting up the Project Structure
Create two separate projects, Project A and Core Project, with their respective POM files.

Step 2: Adding Dependencies in the POM File
In the Core Project's POM file, add the Project A as a dependency. This will ensure that when Core Project builds, it will also build Project A.

Step 3: Building the Projects using Jenkins
Configure Jenkins to build both Project A and Core Project. You can do this by creating a job for each project and selecting the appropriate POM file.

Step 4: Building with Docker
To build with Docker, you need to create a Dockerfile for each project and configure Jenkins to use Docker. In the Dockerfile, specify the image you want to use and any additional dependencies.

Step 5: Importing the Core Jar into Project A
Add the Core Jar to the Project A POM file as a dependency. This will ensure that when Project A builds, it will have access to the Core methods.

Step 6: Running the Build
Trigger the build of both projects using Jenkins. The builds should now be successful, and the Core Jar should be available to Project A.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned how to build dependent projects using Jenkins, Maven, and Docker. We covered core concepts such as Jenkins, Maven, and Docker, and walked through the steps of setting up the project structure, adding dependencies in the POM file, building with Docker, and importing the Core Jar into Project A. By following these steps, we can ensure that our projects are built successfully and that any dependencies are properly managed.

Lesson: Introduction to Stock Market Investment

## Section 1: Overview

In this lesson, we will learn about stock market investment, which involves buying and selling shares of publicly traded companies. We will cover the basics of stock market investment, including what it is, how it works, and why people invest in the stock market.

## Section 2: What is Stock Market Investment?

Stock market investment refers to the act of purchasing shares of a publicly traded company with the goal of earning a profit. When you invest in the stock market, you are essentially buying a piece of ownership in a company. This means that you become a part-owner of the company and are entitled to a portion of its profits, known as dividends. Additionally, if the value of the company's stock increases, you can sell your shares for a profit.

## Section 3: How does Stock Market Investment work?

The stock market is a virtual marketplace where buyers and sellers come together to trade shares of publicly traded companies. When you invest in the stock market, you are essentially buying and selling shares of these companies. The price of a share of stock is determined by the forces of supply and demand. If more people want to buy a stock than sell it, the price will go up. Conversely, if more people want to sell a stock than buy it, the price will go down.

## Section 4: Why do people invest in the Stock Market?

There are several reasons why people invest in the stock market. One of the most common reasons is to achieve long-term financial goals, such as saving for retirement or buying a house. Investing in the stock market can help individuals grow their wealth over time, as the value of their investments increase. Additionally, some companies offer dividends to their shareholders, which can provide a steady stream of income.

## Section 5: Practical Examples

Let's say that you decide to invest in Apple Inc., a well-known technology company. You purchase 100 shares of Apple stock at $200 per share. If the value of Apple's stock increases to $250 per share, you can sell your shares for a profit of $50 per share, or $5,000 in total. Additionally, if Apple decides to pay a dividend, you will receive a portion of the company's profits based on the number of shares you own.

## Section 6: Glossary

- Stock: A share in the ownership of a company.
- Publicly Traded Company: A company whose stock is traded on a stock exchange.
- Dividend: A payment made by a company to its shareholders, usually as a reward for owning shares in the company.
- Supply and Demand: The relationship between the quantity of a product or service that producers are willing to sell and the quantity that consumers are willing to buy, which determines the price.

## Conclusion

Investing in the stock market can be a powerful tool for building wealth over time. By understanding the basics of stock market investment, you can make informed decisions about when and how to invest your money. Remember to always do your research and consult with a financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

Numerous secondary oil recovery projects use carbon dioxide as a miscible injectant to recover additional oil from existing oil reservoirs. Carbon dioxide has the ability to reduce the surface tension of oil adhering to shale or rocks, causing it to flow out of the oil well. As the oil is produced from the carbon dioxide injection, the related gas produced will increase in volume and carbon dioxide concentration. The total gas volume will increase by a factor of five to seven. The hydrocarbon gas volume will increase by a factor of two. The carbon dioxide concentration will increase from 5 to 90 percent by volume over the nine to ten year life of the project. The composition of the hydrocarbons will vary little.
This carbon dioxide must be removed before the hydrocarbons can be utilized as a product. The recovered carbon dioxide is reinjected into the walls. A number of process methods have been developed and are being tried for this purpose. They include the conventional amine absorption systems, seloxol absorption and many others. These conventional process schemes have proven to be very expensive and energy inefficient when compared to recently developed cryogenic distillative process methods such as the process taught by the U.S. Pat. No. 4,462,814, issued July 31, 1984, to Arthur S. Holmes and James M. Ryan, entitled "Distillative Separation of Gas Mixtures Containing Methane, Carbon Dioxide and Other Components", known in the industry as the Ryan/Holmes process. This process teaches a method of separating the hydrocarbons from the carbon dioxide and a method of preventing azeotrope formation of carbon dioxide and ethane during the distillation separation process.
The distillation process schemes utilized in attempting to separate methane from the carbon dioxide and other hydrocarbons must deal with the potential formation of carbon dioxide solids. Ryan/Holmes solves this problem by introducing an agent to prevent the formation of solid carbon dioxide. A second problem that distillation process methods must handle is the separation of ethane from carbon dioxide due to the formation of the carbon dioxide-ethane azeotrope. This azeotrope formation limits the degree to which the carbon dioxide may be separated from the ethane. The Ryan/Holmes process solves this problem by the further introduction of the aforementioned agent. This agent is a propane-and-heavier mixture of hydrocarbons or some other hydrocarbon miscible non-polar liquid. This agent serves to maintain the relative volatility of carbon dioxide to ethane above one, and the azeotrope is not formed.
For further illustrations of carbon dioxide removal, see U.S. Pat. No. 4,475,347, issued Oct. 9, 1984, to Hegarty et al., entitled "Process for Separating Carbon Dioxide and Sulphur-Containing Gases from a Synthetic Fuel Production Process Off-Gas"; U.S. Pat.

Lesson: Introduction to Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)

### Section 1: What is CCS?
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a process that involves capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from industrial sources, transporting it to a storage site, and storing it underground in geological formations to prevent it from entering the atmosphere.

### Section 2: Why is CCS important?
CCS is important because it can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the impacts of climate change. By capturing CO2 and storing it underground, we can prevent it from contributing to global warming and other environmental problems.

### Section 3: How does CCS work?
CCS works by capturing CO2 from industrial sources such as power plants and factories. The captured CO2 is then transported to a storage site, usually an underground geological formation, where it is stored permanently. The process involves several steps, including capture, compression, transportation, and storage.

### Section 4: What are the benefits of CCS?
The benefits of CCS include reducing greenhouse gas emissions, reducing air pollution, and providing a way to continue using fossil fuels while reducing their environmental impact. CCS also provides a potential solution for reducing emissions from industries that are difficult to decarbonize, such as cement production and some types of chemical manufacturing.

### Section 5: What are the challenges of CCS?
The challenges of CCS include high costs, technical difficulties, and public perception. The cost of implementing CCS is currently high, and there are technical challenges associated with capturing and storing CO2 safely and effectively. Additionally, some people have concerns about the safety of storing CO2 underground and the potential for leaks.

Lesson: Encoding Conversion in JavaScript

**Introduction**

In this lesson, we will learn about encoding conversion in JavaScript. We will explore how to convert text from one encoding to another, and how to ensure that our code works correctly with different encodings.

**Section 1: Understanding Encoding**

Encoding refers to the way that characters are represented in a string of text. Different character sets use different encodings, and each encoding uses a specific number of bits to represent a character. For example, ASCII uses 7 bits per character, while Unicode uses 16 bits per character.

When working with text on the web, we often need to deal with multiple encodings. This is because different browsers and operating systems may use different default encodings, and users may upload files with different encodings.

**Section 2: Converting Encoding**

To convert encoding in JavaScript, we can use the `encodeURIComponent()` function to convert a string to a URL-safe encoding, and the `decodeURIComponent()` function to convert a string back to its original encoding. These functions work by replacing certain characters with a percent sign followed by two hexadecimal digits.

Here's an example:

```javascript
let str = "Hello, World!";
let encodedStr = encodeURIComponent(str);
let decodedStr = decodeURIComponent(encodedStr);
console.log(decodedStr); // Output: Hello, World!
```

We can also use the `iconv` library to convert encoding between different character sets. For example, to convert a string from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8:

```javascript
let str = "Hello, World!";
let enc = "ISO-8859-1";
let outEnc = "UTF-8";
let convertedStr = iconv.encode(str, enc, outEnc).toString();
console.log(convertedStr); // Output: Hello, World!
```

**Section 3: Applying Encoding Conversion in Practice**

Now let's see how we can apply encoding conversion in a real-world scenario. Suppose we have a web application that allows users to upload files. We want to make sure that the filenames are stored in the database using UTF-8 encoding, even if the user uploaded the file with a different encoding.

First, we can use the `iconv` library to convert the filename to UTF-8 when it is uploaded:

```javascript
let filename = "filename.txt";
let enc = fs.readFileSync(filename, "binary").encoding;
let utf8Filename = iconv.encode(filename, enc, "UTF-8");
```

Next, we can modify our database schema to store filenames as UTF-8 strings:

```sql
CREATE TABLE files (
  id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
  name VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL
);
```

Finally, we can update our server-side code to convert the filename back to the original encoding when serving the file:

```javascript
let filename = "utf8_filename.txt";
let enc = "UTF-8";
let originalFilename = iconv.decode(filename, "UTF-8", enc);
```

**Glossary**

- Encoding: A way of representing characters in a string of text.
- Character set: A collection of characters that can be used in a string of text.
- Hexadecimal: A base-16 numbering system used to represent colors and other values.
- Iconv: A library for converting encoding between different character sets.

**Conclusion**

In this lesson, we learned about encoding conversion in JavaScript and how to apply it in practice. We explored different ways to convert encoding, including the `encodeURIComponent()` and `decodeURIComponent()` functions, as well as the `iconv` library. We also saw how to apply encoding conversion in a real-world scenario involving file uploads. By understanding encoding and how to convert it, we can ensure that our code works correctly with different encodings and character sets.

Lesson Title: Introduction to Addition
Grade Level: Primary through High School

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Addition is the arithmetic operation that involves combining two or more numbers to find the total amount. It is represented by the symbol "+" and is performed using the commutative property of addition, which states that the order of the numbers being added does not matter.

## Section 2: Practical Examples
Let's consider an example where we add three apples and two oranges to find the total number of fruits.

| Symbol | Number | Operation |
|--------|--------|-----------|
| +      | 3      | Addition   |
| =      | 5      | Equals    |

In this case, we can use the equation to represent the problem:
3 + 2 = 5

We can also use visual representations to help us understand the problem better. For instance, we can draw a picture of three apples and two oranges and count the total number of fruits.

![image](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6a/Apples_and_oranges.svg/220px-Apples_and_oranges.svg.png)

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
Now let's consider another example where we add the number of students in a class to find out how many students are present.

| Symbol | Number | Operation |
|--------|--------|-----------|
| +      | 10     | Addition   |
| =      | 15     | Equals    |

In this case, we can use the equation to represent the problem:
10 + x = 15

We can also use real-world scenarios to help us understand the problem better. For instance, if there are 10 students in a class and three more students arrive, we can use addition to find out how many students are present.

```
Initial number of students = 10
Additional students = 3
Total number of students = 10 + 3 = 13
```

## Conclusion
In conclusion, addition is an essential arithmetic operation that involves combining two or more numbers to find the total amount. It is represented by the symbol "+" and is performed using the commutative property of addition. We can use visual representations and real-world scenarios to help us understand addition better. By mastering addition, we can apply this skill to solve various problems involving counting and measuring.

Lesson: The Importance of Watering Plants

Introduction:
Plants need water to survive, grow and thrive. In this lesson, we will learn about the importance of watering plants and how it affects their health.

Section 1: Why do plants need water?
- Plants need water to transport nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant.
- Water also helps to regulate temperature and prevent the plant from drying out.
- Without water, plants can't produce energy through photosynthesis, which means they can't grow or produce food.

Section 2: How much water do plants need?
- The amount of water a plant needs depends on the type of plant, the climate, and the soil type.
- Generally, plants need about an inch of water per week.
- If the soil is dry, plants may need more water.

Section 3: When should I water my plants?
- The best time to water plants is in the morning or evening when temperatures are cooler.
- Watering during the hottest part of the day can cause the leaves to burn.
- It's also important to water plants deeply rather than just sprinkling water on the surface.

Section 4: What if I don't have enough water for my plants?
- If you don't have enough water for your plants, there are still things you can do to help them survive.
- You can collect rainwater or use water from other sources like buckets or pots.
- You can also try to find a source of water nearby, like a stream or pond.

Section 5: How can I tell if my plant is getting enough water?
- There are a few signs that can tell you if your plant is getting enough water.
- If the leaves are wilted, it's likely that the plant needs more water.
- If the soil is dry, it's also a sign that the plant needs more water.

Conclusion:
Watering plants is an essential part of keeping them healthy and happy. By following these tips, you can ensure that your plants get the water they need to thrive.

Glossary:
- Photosynthesis: the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy
- Nutrients: substances that plants need to grow and develop properly
- Soil: the mixture of organic matter and minerals that plants grow in
- Temperature: the measure of heat or cold in the environment
- Climate: the average weather conditions in a region over a long period of time

The playing was brilliant, the instrument outstanding, and I've never heard a better mix of piano, electronics and amplification than during van Houdt's program, the Pisaro and Luc Ferrari pieces in particular.. Two subsequent revelations: Via Facebook, I learned that the Alvin Curran piece that ended van Houdt's second set was in fact discreetly amplified, something that evidently neither I nor van Houdt noticed, so subtly was it enacted. And via email, I learned that Greenberg's rendition of Helmut Lachenmann's treacherous Serynade was his first public performance of the work. Look forward to more chances to hear it, and to hear it grow in Greenberg's hands.

In Europe, endowments of tight gas resources are thought to be in the Ukraine and Hungary; shale gas in Germany, Poland, Romania, Sweden, Denmark, the UK and France; and coal bed methane in the Ukraine and Germany.

Europe is the world's second-largest natural gas market and demand is continuing to rise, particularly as a preferred fuel for power generation, while the "Shale Gas Revolution" in the United States has changed the North American energy landscape.

Natural gas deposits are categorized as conventional if they are contained in porous reservoirs, often in limestone or sandstone, which have interconnected spaces that allow the gas to flow freely in the rock and through well boreholes. Unconventional reserves are situated in rocks of low permeability, which makes the gas difficult to access.

textbook:
Lesson: Introduction to Natural Gas Resources

**Objective:** To introduce students to the concept of natural gas resources, their classification, and their importance in the energy sector.

**Glossary:**
- Natural gas: A hydrocarbon gas mixture that is primarily composed of methane and is used as a source of energy for heating, cooking, and electricity generation.
- Conventional gas: Natural gas that flows freely out of the ground and can be extracted through wells.
- Unconventional gas: Natural gas that is trapped in low-permeability rocks and requires specialized techniques to extract it.
- Shale gas: A type of unconventional gas found in shale formations.
- Coal bed methane: A type of unconventional gas found in coal seams.

**Section 1: Introduction to Natural Gas Resources**

Natural gas is an important source of energy that is used for heating, cooking, and electricity generation. It is a hydrocarbon gas mixture that is primarily composed of methane. Natural gas resources can be classified into two categories: conventional and unconventional.

**Section 2: Conventional Natural Gas Resources**

Conventional natural gas resources are found in porous reservoirs, such as limestone or sandstone, that have interconnected spaces that allow the gas to flow freely in the rock and through well boreholes. These reservoirs are relatively easy to access and extract natural gas from.

**Section 3: Unconventional Natural Gas Resources**

Unconventional natural gas resources are found in low-permeability rocks that make it difficult to access the gas. Two common types of unconventional gas resources are shale gas and coal bed methane. Shale gas is found in shale formations, while coal bed methane is found in coal seams. These resources require specialized techniques, such as hydraulic fracturing, to extract them.

**Section 4: Importance of Natural Gas Resources**

Europe is the world's second-largest natural gas market, and demand for natural gas is rising, particularly as a preferred fuel for power generation. The "Shale Gas Revolution" in the United States has changed the North American energy landscape, and there is potential for similar developments in Europe.

**Conclusion:**

In this lesson, we introduced the concept of natural gas resources, their classification, and their importance in the energy sector. We discussed the differences between conventional and unconventional natural gas resources and provided examples of each. We also explored the specialized techniques used to extract unconventional gas resources. Finally, we discussed the rising demand for natural gas and its potential impact on the European energy landscape.

text: !. You've got sap! Now what?! How to process your sap into syrup DIY style. How to collect, boil it down and get it on some pancakes!.. Making maple syrup on our urban homestead and what we're learning.. Mapling, or sugaring, is the process of collecting and boiling down the sap from maple trees in order to make syrup. It’s an ancient practice and one of the few sugar sources native to the northern hemisphere..

textbook:
# Lesson: How to Make Maple Syrup DIY Style
## Introduction
Making maple syrup is a fun and delicious way to connect with nature and learn about traditional food processing methods. In this lesson, we will explore the basics of maple sugaring and how to turn sap into syrup right in your own backyard.
## Section 1: Collecting Sap
The first step in making maple syrup is collecting the sap from the maple trees. This is usually done in the spring when the days are warm and nights are cold, causing the sap to flow. You can collect sap from any maple tree, but the most common species used for syrup are sugar maples (Acer saccharum), black maples (Acer nigrum), and red maples (Acer rubrum).
To collect sap, you will need a bucket or container, a spout tapped into the tree trunk, and a tubing system that connects the buckets to a central collection point. You can also use a plastic bag instead of a bucket if you prefer.
## Section 2: Boiling Down the Sap
Once you have collected the sap, it needs to be boiled down to remove water and concentrated the sugar content. This process is called evaporating the sap. You can use a large pot or a specialized evaporator pan for this step.
It takes approximately 40 gallons of sap to produce 1 gallon of syrup, so it's essential to boil off as much water as possible before the final boiling stage. As the sap boils down, it will eventually turn into syrup, which has a sugar content of around 66%.
## Section 3: Finishing the Syrup
After boiling down the sap, you will need to finish the syrup by bringing it to a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius above boiling point. This causes the sugar molecules to crystallize and form granules. You can do this by pouring the hot syrup into a cool pan or ice bath.
Once the syrup has reached the desired temperature, it is ready to be bottled and enjoyed. You can store it in the refrigerator for up to six months.
## Conclusion
Making maple syrup is a fun and rewarding process that connects us with nature and traditional food processing methods. By following these steps, you can create your own delicious syrup and enjoy it on pancakes, waffles, and other breakfast treats. Remember to always respect the environment and follow safety guidelines when collecting sap and boiling down the syrup.
