I heard this term from an elder family member when I was young, but upon using it myself was greeted with weird stares. The person had worked at Montgomery Wards for a long time... perhaps it was a term they used there?

Where do i find a lot of information on Jane Goodall that could be useful for a science project that is do tomorrow?
Jane Goodall was born in London, England on April 3, 1934. As a child she was given a life-like monkey toy named Jubilee by her father, although friends believed it would scare her. Today, the toy still sits on her dresser in London. After the divorce of her parents when Goodall was only 12, she moved with her mother to Bournemouth, England. Goodall was interested in animals from her youth; this prompted noted anthropologist Louis Leakey to hire her as his assistant/secretary. He invited her to accompany him and his wife, Mary Leakey, to dig at Olduvai Gorge in eastern Africa. Eventually he asked Goodall to study the chimpanzees of Gombe Stream National Park (then known as 'Gombe Stream Chimpanzee Reserve'). She arrived at Gombe in July 1960. Leakey arranged for her to return to the United Kingdom where she earned a doctorate in ethology from the University of Cambridge in 1964. Along with Dian Fossey, famous for living with gorillas, and Biruté Galdikas, who advanced studies in orangutans, Goodall was one of three women recently dubbed by some as "Leakey's Angels".Orphaned by poachers, young chimpanzees are raised by volunteers and researchers at the Tchimpounga Sanctuary (part of the Jane Goodall Institute) in the Republic of the Congo.Goodall is best known for her study of chimpanzee social and family life. In 1977, Goodall established the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI), which supports the Gombe research and is a global leader in the effort to protect chimpanzees and their habitats. With 19 offices around the world, the JGI is widely recognized for innovative, community-centered conservation and development programs in Africa and a global youth program, Roots & Shoots, which currently has over 8,000 groups in 96 countries. Today, Goodall devotes virtually all of her time to advocating on behalf of chimpanzees and the environment, traveling nearly 300 days a year. Goodall was instrumental in the study of social learning, primate cognition, thinking and culture in wild chimpanzees, their differentiation from the bonobo, and the inclusion of both species, along with the gorilla, as Hominids. One of Goodall's major contributions to the field of primatology was the discovery of tool-making in chimpanzees. Though many animals had been clearly observed using "tools", previously, only humans were thought to make tools, and tool-making was considered the defining difference between humans and other animals. This discovery convinced several scientists to reconsider their definition of being human.[1] Goodall also set herself apart from the traditional conventions of the time in her study of primates by naming the animals she studied, instead of assigning each a number. This numbering was a nearly universal practice at the time, and thought to be important in the removal of one's self from the potential for emotional attachment to the subject being studied. * Goodall is honored by the Walt Disney Company with a plaque on the The Tree of Life at Walt Disney World's Animal Kingdom theme park, alongside a carving of her beloved David Greybeard, the original chimp who approached Goodall during her first year at Gombe.[10] The story goes that when she was invited to visit the developing Animal Kingdom park as a consultant and saw the Tree of Life, she didn't see a chimp as part of the tree. To rectify this situation, the Imagineers added the carving of David Graybeard and the plaque honoring her at the entrance to the It's Tough to be a Bug! show. * Cartoonist Gary Larson once drew a cartoon that showed two chimpanzees grooming. One finds a human hair on the other and inquires, "Conducting a little more 'research' with that Jane Goodall tramp?" The Jane Goodall Institute thought this to be in bad taste, and had their lawyers draft a letter to Larson and his distribution syndicate, in which they described the cartoon as an "atrocity." They were stymied, however, by Goodall herself, who revealed that she found the cartoon amusing. Since then, all profits from sales of a shirt featuring this cartoon have gone to the JGI. * Dr. Goodall also appeared and lent her voice as herself in the animated TV series The Wild Thornberrys. * In the video game Justice League Heroes while in Gorilla City, The Flash says "Quick!, Somebody page Jane Goodall". * The protagonist in Jonathan Safran Foer's second novel, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, asks Goodall for a recommendation, to which she responds with a gentle rejection. * In The Simpsons episode, "Simpsons Safari", a character loosely based on Goodall is a research scientist in charge of a Chimpanzees refuge who is secretly enslaving them to mine for diamonds. * USC Jane Goodall Research Center
Is the Agulhas Current warm or cold?
At sea level it is hot (and humid).(( From The Sunday TimesFebruary 8, 2004Climbing through ice at the equator Katrina MansongSiteLife.Recommend("ExternalResource", "1061574","http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/travel/destinations/africa/article1061574.ece"); Recommend?Frying pans are smashing me on the head - about three every second, it seems. At least, giant hailstones are pelting me so hard I could swear they were frying pans - each one slowly flattening me into the side of Mount Kenya. I'm not the only one here swearing, either. Each of the four intrepids in our party is pouring forth a flurry of swallowed expletives almost as hard and fast as the pots-and-pans precipitation. We are all horribly aware that we're just hours into our three-day ascent Africa's second-highest mountain.The Sirimon route we are following will eventually take us to the peak of Point Lenana, 4,985m above sea-level. Even then we won't quite be at the top of Mount Kenya - that privilege is kept for the Bation summit at 5,199m, which requires all manner of ice-picks, mountain gadgets and several eons more experience than we have between us. Nevertheless we are hell-bent on reaching our goal, no matter how many frozen fingers are sacrificed along the way.If day one is a shock, night one is simply petrifying. Half-turning to stone in an ice-pit of a campsite, we can't believe we are just a few miles from the equator. The air is thinner, the temperature lower and conversation more teeth-chattering than ever before. Yet somehow, mysteriously, we find our spirits are rising to the same level as our altitude. The mountain wants us.The second day brings its reward in the shape of sunlit progress, much like a hike over the moors. We tramp happily along plateaus, and after a while we even forget the dull ache in our calves. Instead, we just stare at the outsized plants in this bizarre foray into fairyland heights. This must the land of the giants at the top of Jack's beanstalk. Massive cauliflowers and heathers the size of huts are just about all there is to remind us that we are not out on an afternoon stroll wandering England's green and pleasant land.Well, that and the elephant dung. As many a guide will tell you with a glint in his eye, wild mountain animals lurk in the thick forests on the lower reaches. Elephants, buffalo and the occasional lion are sometimes seen on low-lying mountain routes. So when we come across a mess of big brown splodge barring our path we are giddy with excitement. Rounding the corner, the route turns out to be mammal-free. We press on. After all, we have a race to win.We simply want the mountain peak to ourselves, which means getting there first. And to do that you have to start early. Very early. By 3.30am the four of us are still pushing sleep from our eyes as we put one foot in front of the other, lit by the moon. This last heave is hard. It's icy, more of a climb than than a hike, and you have to use your hands to balance. At 4am, clambering by moonlight, I was in no doubt I was actually climbing a mountain.Breathing through handkerchiefs to protect us from the cold, unspeaking and unfeeling, we eventually stumble our way to the top. But life, in its sweet way, has played a trick. Punishing us for too competitive a spirit on the mountainside, it let us get to the top terribly quickly. Too quickly. As we collapse triumphant on the frozen peak, nobody else is there. Nor is the dawn.We can't very well head straight down again after reaching the top in the dark. So we wait out the night until it finally gives in to daylight - the longest 40 minutes of my life. Even then it is misty. But when the day finally comes, it is ours alone. We have made it to the top of our world, through snow and ice, right by the equator.Organising a trip: several UK tour operators can organise treks.
