Before you start thinking about going to the shops to buy yourself a bestselling book, you can take a moment to think about buying the books that you want online. Prices are simply much lower on the Internet for both new and used textbooks. Online sellers have to keep prices lower because competition between Web-based sellers is fierce and buyers can compare prices in seconds. The online market is transparent while bricks and mortar retailing allows no product comparisons for shoppers. The Internet is not restrained by walls so students have a huge choice of textbooks at a wide variety of prices brand new, used copies a few months’ old, used copies a few years old and so on. Buying books online is the fastest method you can start using for both you and your friends. And after buying them the company that you bought it from will deliver it to your house on the given date. You may have a book you need to buy for a book club or class, but if you’re looking for something to read recreationally and don’t know where to start, the internet can help. The internet has precipitated the growth of book exchange clubs that allow you to list your books, send them to other users who request them, earn points for the transaction and get the books you want in exchange. These sites are an inexpensive and fun way to get your hands on a book you’re looking for while passing on your own past reads.

Remember when you shop online you must not give your personal information because you might not know if you are talking with people or someone who just wants to eat of your money. So be careful of these kind of scams, you won’t know it but you will find out when the process is done so be wise to recognize that. The signs will be there if you see that something is not right then leave as soon as possible.

You don’t want to be a victim then pay attention to detail and you won’t come across any trouble and once you have got your books with you, you can begin reading your books.

Birds and Beaks

Theresa Anne — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 17:25:11 +0000

Pelicans have massive beaks that are net-like bills, and the bills of raptors are able to tear flesh; there are beaks that are delicate for sipping nectar suas the beaks of hummingbirds and there are petite conical bills of the penduline-tits. In other words there is a bill and beak for every function and every bird.

Since the times of the dinosaurs, birds have become more mobile than any creature on planet earth.

There are often subtle differences in the structure of beaks and bills which permit a variety of bird species to co-exist instead of the species vying for the same food in an area. Shorebirds are outstanding examples; many have beaks and bills that are similar, but the length makes the differentiation when it comes to the beaks of shorebirds.

Sometimes the length of the female bird’s beak will be longer than that of the male.

Some birds need strong beaks that can tackle breaking the shells of nuts, such as parrots and the toucan .The bills of these birds are strong and hooked in shape which assists in destroying and removing the husks.

In Europe, hawfinches have bills that have strong ridged structures inside their bills in order for them to crush the stones of cherries.

Woodpeckers have strong bills to allow them to make holes in the trunks of trees for food. Wo so that they can make nests and look for food. Woodpeckers have shock absorbers to absorb the vibrations when they hammer, and their tongues are unusually long so that they will be able to dig for food deep in the cracks in trees or holes in the ground.

The tongues of most nectar-eating birds are unusually long in order for them to reach deep within flowers.

Short and wide bills such as those of nightjars, swallows and swifts trawl the skies for flying insects.

Bills that curve downwards, such as those of hornbills and toucans, enable these birds to tear the fruit from fruit-bearing trees.

Penguins, albatrosses and cormorants have hooked bills in order for them to catch prey that is slippery, such as fish.

Feline Edangered Species

Theresa Anne — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 05:23:39 +0000

Feline facts:
There is usually a cub that is dominant in each tiger litter. The dominant cub is number one in play and the cub has a tendency to be more active than the rest of the litter. The dominant cub usually leaves the litter quite early.
Lion cubs only become independent when they are about sixteen months old. The males leave the pride, yet the female cubs stay on.
The existence of both lions and tigers is endangered in the wild. Cats come in two groups; these are domestic cats and the other group includes large cats such as lion, tigers, leopards, Black Panther, the jaguar as well as other species. All cats hunt by stalking their prey in complete silence.
Lions:
The lion, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List, is at risk in the wild, which means that unless steps are taken to curb this trend, the lion could become extinct. A pride of lions usually consists of 35 animals. Female lionesses usually do all the hunting, with the pride working in a team as they hunt. The lion pride usually consists of a male and a couple of females. While the job of the lion is to protect the pride the females are usually the hunters. The coat of the lion is the colour of dried grass in order to keep the cats camouflaged so that they can hunt undetected. The jaw of the lion can be opened up 28 cm wide which enables it to kill buck or zebra with ease. The roar of the lion is said to be the loudest of all cats.
Tigers:
Tigers are larger and more agile than lions, but lions are better equipped than tigers physically.
Tigers hunt in the dark and their gold colour and markings are ideal camouflage in the surrounding jungle environment in which they hunt.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature is the authority on the conservation of all animals. The tiger is on the red list as being endangered, and what is saddest of all is that there are only about 3 500 tigers left in the wild.

Domestic Cats

Theresa Anne — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 16:55:47 +0000

Love them or hate them – moggies are a law unto themselves.

Cats that are active are happy cats. Cats need the least sleep out of all mammals. Cats spend as much as sixteen hours sleeping every day, and they spend no less than 30 percent of their awake time grooming themselves.

It is important to ensure that your cat gets enough exercise, as not exercising could lead to numerous health issues. If your cat is not exercised he or she will become frustrated and unhappy, and become quite destructive.

Cats are notorious for tearing curtains and scratching furniture, therefore it is really important to give your cat toys to play with and invest in a scratching post. Spending time with your pets is really quite important as they need love and care the same as we do.

Happy pets develop confidence and nice natures, whereas pets that are never cuddled or spoken to are often skittish or aggressive.

Tennis balls or cardboard toilet rolls will offer many hours of fun for your cat.

Preventing your cat from being overweight is important and if you encourage your cat to play and move, the weight should stay off.

Indoor domestic cats are prone to becoming obese if they are not encouraged to play and move. Remember to always avoid any toys that will tear or shred, as this could prove to be dangerous to your cat.

Lightning and Cows:

On the 31st of October in 2005, a single bolt of lightning killed sixty eight cows on a farm near Dorrigo in Australia, and three cows were paralyzed. Happily all three made a complete recovery.

So then why are there so many cow deaths caused by lightning?
One theory is that they graze in the open and in fields. The other theory is that they have all four hooves on the ground when they ear the grass from where the electricity could be conducted.

On the 15th of June, 2009, sixteen cows were killed on a farm in Pencaitlan, Scotland.

On the 23 rd October, 2008 fifty two cows were killed on a farm outside Montevideo in Uruguay; they were killed when they were grazing alongside a wire fence.

Cat Facts:
Did you know that young lions are not independent until they are at least sixteen months old? Males leave the pride but females lionesses remain in the pride.

In a pride of tigers, there is always a dominant cub that tends to be more active and leaves the mother earlier than normal.

And….
These animal extracts are used for various cures and beauty treatments:
Snail slime cream costs R165.00 a jar. When handlers on a Chilean snail farm noticed that their hands were really quite smooth and they discovered that this was due to the slime that is secreted from the snails.

Polar Bear

terry — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 11:22:40 +0000

Animal trainer, Mark Dumas from Canada, has forged a remarkable friendship with 381kg polar bear, Agee. Dumas has been working with the polar bear since she was a cub about sixteen years ago, and they are now best friends.
They kiss, wrestle and play with each other, romping and swimming together, and he even puts his head inside her jaws (brave man)!
Dumas is not even afraid of Agee when the bear rears up on her hind legs, reaching her full height, of 2,1 meters.
Agee has acted in many films and also television ads, with Mark training her to appear the various roles.
She appeared in the movie “Alaska” in 1995.
Because Mark has been training bears for over forty years, he is able to “read” the body language of bears, and also be able to “read” Agee’s body language.
Bears are massive and are one of the largest mammals on land and are able to easily kill with the hit of a paw.
Agee has been reared by hand, and every day is a privilege being with her, according to Mark.

Dogs and Cats For Pets

Theresa Anne — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 11:22:40 +0000

Pets have a way of winning you over, making them difficult to resist – we are talking about puppies and kittens. But think this through carefully. Before you decide to take a dog or cat home think of the implications.
Boredom often sets in once the animals grows into an adult dog or cat, or the dog might grow larger than you thought or you might even find that once a relationship between two partners breaks up, the pet is sometimes left with nowhere to go.
It is really important to take some points into consideration:
Time and money is one factor to take into account. Puppies need to go for training, they need to be exercised and they require expensive treatment such as their vaccinations every year, they need to be de-flead, dewormed and remember that pet food is also expensive.
Did you know that fleas lead to your dog getting tape worm?
The novelty of a new dog or cat wears off as soon as the responsibility kicks in. Little children are not responsible to take care of pets on their own. Pets are generally time-consuming; therefore if you are strapped for time, then rather get a pet when you can spare time to take care of your animal properly. It is never a clever idea to get a pet when your children are little or if you are expecting a baby.
Always take into account how large the dog is going to grow and also how good the breed will be with children if you have little ones.
Most dogs enjoy having a companion, but consider this carefully before introducing a new pet into your home.
Strong dogs need training if you are going to consider getting a guard dog.

Rhino Management and Poaching

Chris — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 11:58:13 +0000

If ever you thought issues were just simple

South Africa is facing a war against Rhino. Currently we are losing an average of one Rhino every 21 hours! This species can not survive a such a kill rate. If nothing is done to stop the continuous slaughter we will lose our entire population of both black and white rhino

Yesterday, there were over 30 species of rhinoceros on Earth, today only 5 species remained. From 1970 to 2000, over 90% of the world population of rhinos dropped. The major cause of this massive extinction is poaching. We have to react in force to preserve our two precious species: the Black and White rhinos.

Analyses of horns were made by scientists and showed that they have no medicinal value. The horns are actually made of keratin, just like our hair or fingernails. however, rhinos victims of this myth almost disappeared. A large black market has been developped, knowing that 1 horn weigh around 10kg and that 1kg of horn is worth R140,000!

Protrack financed by us for their property has to be the hottest guys on the block. Thnaks to these anti-poaching guys !!!!
