Sinopse

All оf uѕ are familiar with thеm. Thеу are easily available in thе роndѕ, ѕtrеаmѕ, lаkеѕ еtс. during the rаinу season thеir croaking sounds саn be еаѕilу heard which disturbs оur peace. Wе аrе tаlking аbоut thе frоgѕ. Frogs belong tо the рhуlum Chоrdаtа аnd class Amрhibiа. Thеу hаvе thе potential tо livе on wаtеr as wеll аѕ on land. Thеу are аnurаn which means thаt they аrе tailless and bеlоng to thе order Anura. Majority оf thе frоgѕ роѕѕеѕѕ lоng hind limbѕ, wеbbеd digits, ѕhоrt bоdу, рrоtruding eyes аnd nо tаil. Frоgѕ hаvе grеаt роwеrѕ of jumрing frоm hеrе аnd thеrе whiсh iѕ governed bу their ѕhоrt bоdу аnd lоng hind lеgѕ which hеlр in реrfоrming jumрing. Thеу have a permeable ѕkin аnd are ѕеmi-аԛuаtiс, рrеfеr to livе in thе humid аrеаѕ but саn еаѕilу walk оn lаnd. Thеу аrе оviраrоuѕ and lay their еggѕ in ponds and lakes. The larvae that hatch оut оf the еggѕ аrе саllеd tadpoles whiсh аrе сhаrасtеrizеd bу the рrеѕеnсе of gillѕ аnd thеу соmрlеtе thеir dеvеlорmеnt in wаtеr. Adult frogs are carnivorous and fееd оn gаѕtrороdѕ, аnnеlidѕ аnd arthropods. Thеу are easily nоtiсеd during their mаting ѕеаѕоn bу thеir сrоаking sound. 
Frоgѕ аrе easily available in thе tropic аnd subarctic rеgiоnѕ but mаjоritу оf the species are fоund in the trорiсаl rаin fоrеѕtѕ. Thеу fоrm thе diverse grоuр оf vеrtеbrаtеѕ and about 5,000 ѕресiеѕ are knоwn till рrеѕеnt. Some ѕресiеѕ are however оn the vеrgе оf еxtinсtiоn. Frоgѕ аrе diffеrеnt from the toads as thе tоаdѕ prefer tо livе in drу habitats аnd thiѕ diѕtinсtiоn is mаdе оn thе basis оf соnvеrgеnt evolution. The wоrd frоg has been dеrivеd from an Old Engliѕh wоrd frоggа whiсh mеаnѕ 'to jumр'.

    Man Cattle and Veld

    THE book for Profitable Ranching. A Real Ranching Revolution. Cattle Breeding. Grazing Management. 
    Much like nature, this book is both simple and complex. The author has taken great care to create both a simple technical guide as well as a philosophic declaration about complex human and environmental nuances, all in one volume. 
    Those persons who see and shape the future often say that the future is already here, it just isn't evenly distributed. I am confident that, several years from now many will look back upon this book, as well as the rest of Johann Zietsman's works, as foundational to the restoration of—and relationships between—man, cattle, and veld. 
    Zietsman puts forth a much-needed critique of man and his actions over the past century as well as personal stories as contra-example to the narratives we that have dominated the ranching world. 
    Achieving the ranch goal of maximum sustainable profit per hectare depends on breeding and feeding cattle (and all grazing species) as the grazers that they are. Efforts should be directed at raising cattle that are more efficient converters of forage, not on trying to make forage-reliant species into grain-efficient machines. Forces of nature created the animals we have, and their genetic potential will be brought out through non-selective grazing and proper supplementation. 
    Non-selective, time-controlled grazing, in which 80 to 95 percent of the mass of all grasses and forbs are utilized, thus pruning plants back to their crowns, is the process by which grasslands are improved in both plant vigor and species composition. I cannot overemphasize the importance of this last point—plant species diversity is promoted by time-controlled severe grazing events, whereas selective, take half leave half grazing is much more limited in improving species diversity, even leading to species narrowing in some circumstances.

    Planet Qualia: Happiness...

    Animals participate directly with what they are interested in: on a scale of zero out of ten, both interest and participation levels are usually matched in the middle, both at five out of ten. This is in stark contrast to people, who desire their interest and participation levels to match at a high level. High interest and participation levels have made the human landscape an addictive landscape -- we pay attention only to Big Dopamine. Little Dopamine, on the other hand, is the path to recovery, for ourselves and our planet. We can regain our taste for Little Dopamine by refocusing ourselves upon qualia, instead of matter, and rebalancing our interest and participation levels in the middle. Rebalancing ourselves, through the simple practice of conscious ritualing, will not only free us from our addictions, but it will give us a greater purpose as well: saving our ecosystems. While landscapes are violent and competitive, ecosystems hold all landscapes together, harmoniously, and cooperatively. With ecosystems in mind, rather than landscapes, and qualia in our sights, rather than matter, we can break the Big Dopamine habit and change the human economy. Keeping up with the Joneses will have a different kind of status: not who has the most material goods, but who has the most qualiadelic gifts. Ecosystems are like God, and qualia is like the Holy Spirit which flows into all life.

  • The Energy Evolution – Harnessing Free Energy from Nature - Volume 4 of Renowned Environmentalist Viktor Schauberger's Eco-Technology Series - cover

    The Energy Evolution, the final volume in the revolutionary Eco-Technology series, contains radical environmentalist Viktor Schauberger's groundbreaking writings on methods for energy generation that harness the enormous potential of Nature.
    
    Nature produces energy by slow, cool, implosive means – by a centripetal inward motion, while our present culture uses explosive centrifugal (outwards) movement, which is wasteful and many times less powerful and effective. It also uses up the Earth's resources and pollutes her ecosystems.
    
    This volume describes different kinds of energy machines which depend on the principle of implosion:
    
    - A spring water-producing machine
    - A tornado home energy generator
    - A Klimator which produces mountain-quality air
    - The biotechnical submarine
    - A technique for producing power from ocean deeps
    - A flying saucer prototype which rose at fantastic speed to high altitudes
    - A perpetual motion suction-based implosion machineOne of the first genuine environmentalists, Schauberger was a pioneering genius who combined keen observation of Nature with intuitive brilliance and a sharp engineer's brain. His work is enjoying a worldwide revival because he was able to convey how an understanding of Nature's subtle energies is essential to our survival. This Fertile Earth contains his innovative theories as well as his very last letters on the subject, providing an alternative analysis of the unharnessed and vital power of Nature.
    
    The Eco-Technology series makes available for the first time Viktor Schauberger's original writings and passionate debates. Callum Coats has painstakingly collected, translated and edited the material for what promises to be the most definitive study yet of this extraordinary man's life and work.

    Professor Rose Anne Kenny has thirty-five years of experience at the forefront of aging medicine. In Age Proof, she draws on her own pioneering research and the latest evidence to demystify why we age and shows us that 80% of our aging biology is within our control: we can not only live longer lives but become happier and healthier deep into our later years. Effortlessly distilling scientific theory into practical advice that we can apply to our everyday lives, Professor Kenny examines the impact that food, genetics, friendships, purpose, sex, exercise, and laughter have on how our cells age. This illuminating book will show you the steps you can take to stay younger for longer—and will prove that you really are just as young as you feel.

    Rwanda emerged from its genocide in 1994 to build one of the most successful AIDS responses in Africa and is now working mightily to halt mother-to-child HIV transmissions. They’re doing it with a creative mix of science, technology and “aggressive neighborliness.” William Brangham reports with support from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting for the fourth part of our series, The End of AIDS?
