    Koalas regularly appeared in Australian biologist Danielle Clode's backyard, but it was only when a bushfire threatened that she truly paid them attention.In vivid, descriptive prose, Clode embarks on a delightful and surprising journey through evolutionary biology, natural history, and ecology to understand where these enigmatic animals came from and what their future may hold. She begins her search with the fossils of ancient giant koalas, delving into why the modern koala has become the lone survivor of a once-diverse family of uniquely Australian marsupials.Koala investigates the remarkable physiology of these charismatic creatures. Clode explores the complex relationship and unexpected connections between this endearing species and humans. She explains how koalas are simultaneously threatened with extinction in some areas due to disease, climate change, and increasing wildfires, while overpopulating forests in other parts of the country.Deeply researched and filled with wonder, Koala is both a tender and inquisitive paean to a species unlike any other and a call to ensure its survival.

    Finding Voice For Authentic...

    Terry takes us on a whirlwind tour of what it means to give voice to our own authenticity. It requires deep listening and fertile silences. She encourages us to speak “Mother Tongue” — speaking from the belly rather than the mind. 
    She laments that in Western culture “the language of economics has power, the language of the law has power, the language of science has power. But an intelligence of the heart, an emotional intelligence, or a poetic sensibility, or even a sensibility that comes from the side, from a different angle, from a different point of view, asks us to form a different kind of shape of conversation.” 
    In this delightfully warm and thoughtful program you’ll be dazzled by the mystery of Terry’s dying mother’s request for her to read her journals, but not until after her death. Terry found 3 shelves of journals only to discover all of them were blank. Puzzle along with Terry as she takes us from the Red Rock Wildlands of Utah to the Plains of Kenya in a far-reaching dialogue about finding one’s authentic voice. (hosted by Justine Willis Toms)

    How citizens can make realistic, climate-friendly lifestyle changes in a carbon-based economy: “Readable, passionate, and rational.” ?Quarterly Review of Biology 
     
    Our world is getting hotter, and it’s our fault—our addiction to fossil fuels is destroying our fragile ecosystems and increasingly wreaking havoc. How can we respond to climate change deniers who mock the fact that environmental activists use fossil fuels? In short, how can an average citizen live a normal, functional life in a carbon-based economy without being justifiably called a hypocrite? In The Carbon Code, conservation biologist Brett Favaro answers these thorny questions, offering simple strategies to help you reduce your carbon footprint—without abandoning common sense. 
     
    The Carbon Code is based on the four Rs: Reduce, Replace, Refine, and Rehabilitate. After outlining the scientific basics of climate change and explaining the logic of the code he prescribes, the author describes carbon-friendly technologies and behaviors we can adopt in our daily lives. However, he acknowledges that individual action, while vital, is insufficient. To achieve global sustainability, he insists we must make the fight against climate change go viral through conspicuous conservation. 
     
    The Carbon Code is a tool of empowerment that shows you how to take ownership of your carbon footprint and adopt a lifestyle of conspicuous conservation that will spur governments and corporations to do the same. Saving the planet is, after all, about saving ourselves. The Carbon Code provides a framework to do this, and helps you become a hero in the fight against climate change.

    Comparison between Internet Fax...

    Internet faxing uses the same principles as facsimile transmission, but it uses a Web interface instead of a fax machine. It can be a flexible, inexpensive option for transmitting documents.
    Internet fax services usually assign a fax number to each person who signs up for the service. people can send faxes to this number, and customers can send faxes via e-mail without using a fax machine.
    To send a fax through an Internet fax service:
    • The sender attaches a document to an e-mail message. The document can be a scan of a paper document, or it can be created in a program like Microsoft Word.
    • The sender addresses the message to the recipient's fax number, followed by the name of the faxing service (for example: 18005551234@emailfaxes.com).
    • The service translates the attachment so that a fax machine can read it.
    • The service sends the data across the phone line.
    • The recipient's fax machine decodes the data and prints the fax.
    
    To receive a document from a traditional fax machine through an Internet fax service:
    • The sender dials the fax number that the service has assigned to the recipient.
    • The fax machine translates the data and transmits it over the phone line.
    • The service receives the data, translates it into an image file and sends the image to the recipient's e-mail address.
    • The recipient opens the em-ail message and the attachment and views the file.
    
    As getting cheap internet fax service is important, I tried to look for cheap internet fax service that can fax to any country worldwide and can also use PayPal as it is safe payment than credit card. Unfortunately, I could not find cheap fax service for international destination. All internet fax services offer only cheap services to the free zones countries such as usa and Canada. I could not find cheap service to international destinations.
    
    Maybe the best of my search for faxing to international destination was FAX.PLUS that allows also paypal. But when I tried to subscribe to basic plane using paypal, paypal asked me to give them permission to access my registered credit card, and I refused that and so I could not subscribe.
    
    I will divide web sites that I had look to their internet fax services in the following groups
    1-Part1: Websites that accepts paypal payments and supports faxing to international countries. Some of these are:
    • Gotfreefax
    • fax.to
    • Faxfresh
    • PamFax.biz
    • Faxzero
    • FAX.PLUS
    
    2-Part2: Websites that accepts only credit/debit card payments and supports faxing to international countries
    • Hellofax
    • J2 global services vendors. It includes Metrofax, myfax, smartfax, efax, trustfax, rapidfax and fax.com
    
    
    3-Part3: Websites that supports faxing to usa and Canada only
    • Nextiva
    • FAXAGE
    • FAXBetter
    
    In this report, I will compare the internet fax services according to the cost for sending fax to United Arab Emirate. I will assume that I have three pages to be sent to any fax number in UAE.
