Pioneer History of Grandview Washington Page 1 Grandview History the Grandview Pioneer Association (GPA) Formed in 1923
Pioneer History of Grandview Washington Grandview History The Grandview Pioneer Association (GPA) formed in 1923 “to preserve the early history of the Grandview District, and to encourage mutual friendships”. Mr. Frank Bennet was appointed historian in June, 1923. In January 1925, a committee was named to push the history forward. The committee included Mrs J.M. (Ethel) Fleming, Mrs W.W. (Alice) Wentch and Mrs N.H. (Harriet) Thompson. Many members of the GPA wrote small sections of the history, few are named. Manuscript was completed by January 1927 and printing was authorized by the GPA. The GPA presented the history to the Grandview Public Library on Sept 1, 1927. Primary credit for collection of the data and writing of manuscript is given to Mrs. Fleming and Mrs. Wentch. Updated 6 Jan 2021 Page 1 Pioneer History of Grandview Washington IN THE DAYS BEFORE GRANDVIEW Long before the town of Grandview had even been thought of, there were settling in the district a number of families upon whose shoulders were to fall many responsibilities in the pioneer life. Everywhere great herds of horses and cattle grazed on the bunchgrass, which was so abundant at that time, 1891. As Mabton consisted of one store, and a boxcar for a depot, all the provisions and building materials of the ranchers were transported by team from Prosser. Water was hauled from the Yakima River. In 1893, the canal reached this section of the valley, and in 1893-94, the Rocky Ford Lateral was built to furnish water to a group of settlers in Euclid. -

' Pupils’ Corner 2012 - 2019 EDITORIAL BOARD Patron : Thiru. A. K. Ilango Correspondent Editorial Advisor : Dr. N. Raman Principal Chief Editor : Ms. D. Anita Head, Department of English Student Editors : Ms. J.S.Supritha III B.A. Ms. P.Raghavi III B.A. Pupils’ Corner 2012 - 2019 Preface Pupils' Corner is one of the Best practices of the Department of English. It stands unique by the way as it is 'By the Pupil, For the Pupil and Of the Pupil'. Under the aegis of our Management and the guidance of our respected Principal this practice was initiated in the year 2012 by the department with an aim of spreading a positive and triggering ambience among the learners to search for more knowledge and to share them. This year's compilation is a special edition for the students of our department since we are sailing in the scintillating Silver Jubilee year. Our Department believes in the empowerment of the students by assigning them the task of exploring new ideas and making them to arrange their perceptions in a linguistic stream of enticing words to appease the minds of the readers. Pupils’ Corner 2012 - 2019 The fruitful rendition of our students has got a manifold dimension like enriching the knowledge of their peers, updating the significant events of the days and bonding the students' minds through mind blowing facts and quotes. We hope that this book with Seven volumes would serve as a compendium of knowledge resource for the readers. -

SOMA Newsletter
Society of Medical Arthropodology SOMA Newsletter SOMA Newslett. Vol. 1 No. 1 June 1, 2020 pp. 1- 27 SOCIETY OF MEDICAL ARTHROPODOLOGY: PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES, AND THE SCIENCE OF MEDICAL ARTHROPODOLOGY Prof. Dr B.K. Tyagi President SOMA & Advisor, SpoRIC, VIT Univ., Vellore, TN, India Email: [email protected] This is an irony that even after more-than-a century of birth the science of medical arthropodology continues to be appreciated and taught in universities all over the world under a wider umbrella of globally recognized discipline of Medical Entomology, albeit the latter being only a branch of the mother science, Medical Arthropodology which comprises, besides medical entomology, also medical acariology, medical myriapodology and medical carcinology. Despite the fact that vectors of human and animal diseases and pests of varied distresses are distributed among all four major classes of Arthropoda, it is however generally the discipline of medical entomology which grabs the centerstage of attention in both university and medical college syllabi, and the non-insectan arthropods such as mites and ticks (medical acariology), which are often serious disease transmitters, are but marginally explained. Medical arthropodology, the mother science at the phylum level, originated when Manson (1878), serving as a medical officer in Taiwan, first hypothesized about the relationship between human lymphatic filariasis and the mosquito, Culex pipiens, giving per se birth to the great science of ‘medical entomology’. Sooner Ross (1897; Tyagi et al., 2020), while serving in British India Medical Service in Secunderabad, discovered for the first time the inextricable link between mosquito (possibly Anopheles stephensi) and malaria, and Grassi (1898), a renowned scientist and academician in Italy, independently and unequivocally demonstrated that it was anopheline mosquitoes (Anopheles sacharovi and An. -
PROGRAMS in ANIMAL BEHAVIOR Last Updated 02/21/2008
ANIMAL BEHAVIOR SOCIETY GUIDE TO PROGRAMS IN ANIMAL BEHAVIOR Last updated 02/21/2008 This Guide is intended to aid students interested in pursuing undergraduate or graduate opportunities in animal behavior. It is meant as a first step in choosing an appropriate program. While the Guide focuses on graduate programs, the undergraduate should also find this information helpful since most universities with significant graduate programs will also have undergraduate courses and electives taught by animal behavior faculty. Each program listed in the Guide contains: a) A general overview of the program, including specialized focus(es). b) Web page URL for additional program information c) Degrees offered d) Special facilities of interest to animal behavior researchers e) Application deadline information f) Contact information for queries Listings are organized by country, state/province, and institution. Entries are program‐level (i.e. a university offering programs through both Biology and Psychology will have two listings). Information contained herein is not updated as frequently as program web pages and will therefore not be as current. The student is strongly encouraged to visit the listed URL prior to contacting an institution or faculty. How to use this guide: The student should browse listings, noting programs of interest due to their geographic location, focus, application deadline, or whatever first‐pass criteria are important. After identifying a program of interest, the student should visit the WEB URL for specific program information. In particular it is important to investigate faculty and research projects. Most institutions recommend (and many insist) the student contact relevant faculty and obtain their support prior to applying for graduate school. -
