  • Bats are not flying mice; they are not even remotely related to rodents. Bats are such unique animals that scientists have placed them in a group all their own, called 'Chiroptera’, which means hand-wing. Bats are grouped with primates and lemurs in a grand order called Archonta.
  • Bats are not blind. Most bats can see as well as humans. Fruit bats have eyesight that is adapted to low-light, much like cats. Fruit bats also see in color.
  • If a bat swoops toward you, it’s probably after the mosquito that is hovering just above your head -  not your hair.

  • Bats are not ugly or dirty. Most bats have very cute faces, some even resemble deer, rabbits, and little Chihuahuas. Like cats, bats spend an enormous amount of time grooming their fur, keeping it soft and silky.
  • Not all bats are vampires.  Of the world’s 1100+ species, only three are vampire bats limited mostly to Latin America. Vampire bats are very small (about the size of a package of M&Ms). Vampire bats do not attack humans or suck our blood; they prefer to get their teaspoon-sized meals from other animals.
  • Bats are wild animals, and all wild animals can be dangerous. Additionally, grounded bats are more likely to be sick so they should never be rescued bare-handed.
  • Bats are shy, gentle, and intelligent. They are among the slowest reproducing animals on earth. Most bat species have only one live young per year.

Those who practice music therapy are finding a benefit in using music to help cancer patients, children with ADD, and others, and even hospitals are beginning to use music and music therapy to help with pain management, to help ward off depression, to promote movement, to calm patients, to ease muscle tension, and for many other benefits that music and music therapy can bring.

  • well, almost. More often than not, the minimum age requirement for skydiving is 18 years old. However, there are some places that allow 16-year olds to participate in the sport.
  • First of all, if this is your first time sky diving, you will be given a lecture about the sport that would last for at least 4 hours.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Aside from that, you will also get to try on the skydiving outfit and other equipment that can weigh as much as 35 pounds.
  • Those who weigh 200 to 230 pounds are very much welcome to sky dive as long as they are in good shape.
  • On the other hand, for those who are between 230 to 250 pounds may also sky dive provided that they in really good shape
  • Note that skydivers freefalling in a group just use their hands to tell each other about their situation. It’s just too noisy to talk!
  • a single jump is only limited to an 80-second freefall time.
  • To avoid injuries when landing, a sky diver must deploy his parachute around 2000 to 2500 feet.
  • The price of skydiving actually varies from one drop zone to another. More often than not, the price of the S/L course ranges from $120 to $150. Then, you also have to pay for the AFF course, which ranges from $250 to $300. And if you are still a beginner sky diver, don’t forget that you also have to pay for the tandem jump (when someone is strapped to you and controls the jump and landing), which is worth $140 up to $200.
  • Let this exhilarating moment be captured and prepare to pay additional $50 to $75.

  • The most common type of ovarian cancer is epithelial, accounting for approximately 90% of all ovarian cancers. Epithelial ovarian cancers appear to arise from the surface of the ovary and spread by shedding cancer cells, which are then implanted throughout the lower abdomen. The disease usually spreads without notable symptoms, accounting for the fact that over 70% of epithelial ovarian cancers are diagnosed after the tumor has already spread beyond the ovaries. The other types of ovarian cancer are germ cell and sex cord–stromal tumors.
  • Epidemiologic studies have shown that risk factors for developing this cancer include increased age, never giving birth, infertility, a history of breast cancer or endometrial cancer, and a family history of ovarian cancer.
