What are news feeds?
A news feed is way to have a list of new web content (including press releases, news articles, audiocasts, and videocasts) sent right to your computer. News feeds are also called RSS. There really isn't good agreement on what the letters RSS stand for, but most people say it means Really Simple Syndication.

Most newer Web browsers (Firefox 2 and Internet Explorer 7, for example) allow you to subscribe to feed by simply clicking on a link to the feed file and then clicking on another link to subscribe.

None of the original soldier huts remain. The huts that you see in the park today are reproductions based on the model that General Washington wanted the soldiers to follow. Despite a lack of tools and the relative haste in which they were built, most served as decent shelters for the troops.
