Is This Art? Or Animal Abuse? Animal And Dog Lovers Be Warned… | The GinBlog | What Has Been Seen Cannot Be Unseen - 0 views

  • Guillermo Habacuc Vargas had 2 children catch this dog. He paid the kids for this. He then chained the dog and used the dog as “art”. He told everyone not to feed this dog. The dog died in the gallery. He calls himself an artist. I call him an animal abuser. In that event, (in which the dog died) he was chosen to represent his country in the “Bienal Centroamericana Honduras 2008″

Bats - 0 views

  • Bats often make people think of vampires, creatures of the night, and Halloween. Beyond the myth and folklore, bats are one of the most important groups of animals.
  • Bats are mammals that belong to the order Chiroptera (ky-rop-tera), which means, "winged hand". The wings or hands of a bat have very long finger bones covered by a strong skin. Bats are the only mammals that can fly. Like all mammals, they are "warm-blooded", have bodies covered with fur, and nurse their young (pups) with milk.
  • Nearly all bats are helpful animals. In fact, tropical rainforests could not survive without bats. Bats are responsible for controlling pest insect populations, pollinating flowers, and dispersing seeds.

  • Bats have excellent night vision. Fruit bats use their eyesight and sense of smell to find fruits and flowers. Bats that hunt insects, fish, or frogs can also "see" with sound. This is called echolocation. Bats that use echolocation usually have large ears and leaf-shaped flaps of skin on their noses. This helps them direct the high frequency sounds they make.

  • A bat will eat half its weight in insects in a single night.
  • Fewer people have died from bat rabies during the past 40 years than have died from dog bites or bee stings in a single year.
  • Although the bat is not blind, its eyes are best adapted to seeing in the dark, and see in only black-and-white.
  • The thumbs of the forefoot are small, equipped with sharp claws and not connected to the membrane.
  • Bats are very shy creatures and like most wild animals, avoid contact with humans while going about their business of eating, reproducing and avoiding predators.
  • When a bat returns to its roost for its upside-down sleep, it will spend as much as 30 minutes cleaning itself before settling down to sleep.
  • Some species of bats prefer to live alone in trees.
  • Nearly all bats that live in the United States feed on insects.
  • Mating may occur two or even three times a year
  • Bats have many natural enemies and large numbers of them die while still young.
  • The most significant causes of premature bat death, however, are the activities of people.
  • Bat droppings (guano) support entire ecosystems of unique organisms, including bacteria useful in detoxifying wastes, improving detergents and producing gasohol and antibiotics.

How to Give Your Cat a Massage - 0 views

  •  
    Does your cat seem tense and stiff? Maybe even a little crabby? If so, consider giving him a massage. A properly performed massage can help release pent up stress and negative energy, resulting in a calm and more peaceful pet. The sensation of simple touch of the fur (skin) to the manipulation of muscles has shown to enhance the human animal bond, and sometimes even establish it. For the inactive and older pet, as well for the young or active pet, the owner can provide a gentle comforting touch. This helps provide security and calmness and will aid in relieving stress. Be aware that at home massage is different than the massage done by a certified massage therapist. These trained people can provide a more thorough massage, incorporating a variety of techniques.

Water Pollution - 0 views

  • According to the American College Dictionary, pollution is defined as:  �to make foul or unclean; dirty.
  • When it is unfit for its intended use, water is considered polluted.
  • Point sources of pollution occur when harmful substances are emitted directly into a body of water.
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • A nonpoint source delivers pollutants indirectly through environmental changes.
  • Nonpoint sources are much more difficult to control.
  • Pollution arising from nonpoint sources accounts for a majority of the contaminants in streams and lakes.  
  • Many causes of pollution including sewage and fertilizers contain nutrients such as nitrates and phosphates.  In excess levels, nutrients over stimulate the growth of aquatic plants and algae.  Excessive growth of these types of organisms consequently clogs our waterways, use up dissolved oxygen as they decompose, and block light to deeper waters.
  • Pollution in the form of organic material enters waterways in many different forms as sewage, as leaves and grass clippings, or as runoff from livestock feedlots and pastures.
  •     Pathogens are another type of pollution that prove very harmful.
  • Three last forms of water pollution exist in the forms of petroleum, radioactive substances, and heat.
  •      Ninety-five percent of all fresh water on earth is ground water
  • Ground water is found in natural rock formations.
  • These formations, called aquifers, are a vital natural resource with many uses.  Nationally, 53% of the population relies on ground water as a source of drinking water.  In rural areas this figure is even higher.  Eighty one percent of community water is dependent on ground water.  Although the 1992 Section 305(b) State Water Quality Reports indicate that, overall, the Nation�s ground water quality is good to excellent, many local areas have experienced significant ground water contamination. Some examples are leaking underground storage tanks and municipal landfills.

Universal, world's largest music company, refuses to renew iTunes contract - Engadget - 0 views

    • ~ * josie * ~
       
      this problem is very serios and i have heard some things about i-tunes and universal and it didnt sound pretty
  • Looks like a pillar of iTunes content might be on the brink of collapse -- Universal Music, the world's largest music business, has officially opted not to renew its contract with Apple for vending music on the iTunes Music Store. We don't know specifically what caused Universal to turn away -- perhaps it's the weight of the rising anti-DRM movement among consumers, or perhaps it's because of Stevie J.'s brash negotiating tactics, continual refusal to hand over iPod cash, or oceanic persistence in keeping tracks locked in at $0.99. Whatever the reason, we can't say we're all that surprised; Universal's been a pain in Apple's ass for years now. So what's the end result? Well, Universal music will still be sold through iTunes at will, so that means consumers can keep buying tracks for the time being, but Apple runs the risk of losing Universal's content on very short notice if the companies don't make happy with one another and put pen to paper once more.

      isn't he just saying here that the consciousness is something that doesn't exist, or else is something that's there, but not exactly present, we can't control it nor are we completely aware of it.

      ... true, but how could a "savage"know of anything like this? of course he said "the great mass of people" which implies that he's... better than the average person.... isn't acknowledging your knowledge of psychology , and UNDERSTANDING of it basically being conceited? (does that mean I am?)

Dogs As Companion Animals - 0 views

shared by Ashley T on 05 Dec 08 - Cached
  • Dogs As Companion Animals
  • For decades dogs (Canis familiaris) have been used to aid humans in tasks such as hunting, herding and guarding. Dogs have also been used to enhance the quality of life of individuals with disabilities. This includes guiding and alerting people with impaired vision or hearing, and retrieving dropped items for the physically challenged. More recently, the concept of dog-assisted therapy has evolved into tremendously successful programs in the areas of physical rehabilitation and psychological recovery. However, as society has moved from small rural communities to increasingly large urban and suburban centers, the role of dogs as mere companions has increased. More than 30 million Americans live with one or more dogs, the majority of whom are kept as social companions.
