Unreferenced date January 2011 In English An intensive pronoun is a pronoun used to add emphasis to a statement for example, I did it myself . While English intensive pronouns use the same form as reflexive pronoun s, an intensive pronoun is different from a reflexive, because the pronoun can be removed without altering the meaning of the sentence. An intensive noun works with the antecedent, the word the pronoun replaces. For example, compare I will do it myself , where myself is intensive and can be removed without changing the meaning, to I nominated myself , where myself fills the necessary role of direct object . In other languages Latin has a dedicated intensive pronoun, wikt ipse ipse , a , um . In Spanish language Spanish , as in most pro drop language s, emphasis can be added simply by explicitly using the omissible pronoun. Following the above example, I will do it myself is rendered Lo har yo . Adding mismo after the pronoun yields additional emphasis. French language French uses the disjunctive pronoun s for the same purpose.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Intensive stage , or by its full name, predominantly intensive stage of accumulation pertains to one of the periodizations of capitalism, as proposed by Aglietta 1976 . It is the second stage of capitalism when the extensive stage becomes exhausted, expansion of commodity production is reduced to the increase in productivity of labour, or to the intensification of production. The extensive stage reached its limits in England by the 1810s and after a lease of life through imperial expansion, definitively by 1860s in Germany, by the 1880s in the US, by 1920s Aglietta,1976 in Brazil, by the 1970s. In contemporary capitalism or Late capitalism it is generalized over virtually the whole world economy and some see itself having reached its limits with the exhaustion of the post war boom by the mid 1960s. It is disputed whether the social organization or mode of production based on commodity production and wage labour, that is to say, capitalism itself, can make a transition from its present form to one in which the ever increasing branch of Service economics services can be commodified.

Unreferenced date July 2008 Vegetable farming is the growing of vegetable s for human consumption. Traditionally it was done in the soil in small rows or blocks, often primarily for consumption on the farm, with the excess sold in nearby towns. Later, farms on the edge of large communities could specialize in vegetable production, with the short distance allowing the farmer to get his produce to market while still fresh. The Three Sisters agriculture three sisters method used by Native Americans in the United States Native Americans specifically the Haudenosaunee Iroquois grew Squash plant squash , beans and Maize corn together so that the plants enhanced each other s growth. Planting in long rows allows machinery to cultivate the fields, increasing efficiency and output however, the diversity of vegetable crops requires a number of techniques to be used to optimize the growth of each type of plant. Some farms, therefore, specialize in one vegetable others grow a large variety. Due to the needs to market vegetables while fresh, vegetable gardening has high labor demands. Some farms avoid this by running u pick operations where the customers pick their own produce. The development of ripening technologies and refrigeration has reduced the problems with getting produce to market in good condition. Over the past 100 years a new technique has emerged raised bed gardening , which has increased yields from small plots of soil without the need for commercial, energy intensive fertilizer s. Modern Hydroponics hydroponic farming produces very high yields in greenhouse s without using any soil. Several economic models exist for vegetable farms farms may grow large quantities of a few vegetables and sell them in bulk to major markets or middlemen, which requires large growing operations farms may produce for local customers, which requires a larger distribution effort farms may produce a variety of vegetables for sale through on farm stalls, local farmer s market s, u pick operations ... more details
