...shot should be dead straight-the hardest kind of golf shot to hit. But it's the second shot that's the real tester here, 185-200 yds. if the pin is placed on the back edge of the green or to the left near the pond. But forget the pin placement and always -I mean always-hit to the right side of the green. If you hit to the left and miss, you're in the pond and have an automatic...

From the garden scenes at Argenteuil in the 1870s, through the cliffs and seascapes of Étretat and BelleIsle in the 1880s to the blue watery cathedrals he made from his lily pond at Giverny, Monet constantly reworked his paintings in the studio.

Full Diet. Then the algae-enriched water is fed into the middle pond, where the microscopic plants provide feed for tiny crustaceans called daphnids, or water fleas. Finally, water containing fleas and algae flows back into the bottom tank, where it provides a full diet for the tilapia. Nothing is wasted: in the warm greenhouse space above the ponds, the new alchemists grow vegetables even in the dead of the New England winter. The plants are fertilized by the nutrient-laden fish water. To protect their harvests against bugs, the scientists have brought insect-eating frogs, spiders and chameleons instead...
...first year, the ark's main 8,000-gallon pond has produced two 50-lb. crops of fish-a better yield, says Todd, than achieved by China's successful aquaculture ponds. Not counting the $9,000-a-year salaries (plus $2,000 per dependent) that the institute has begun to pay some of its dozen full-time staffers the entire cost of building and stocking the ark was only...
