Got that morbid feline? Death’s a whisker away – National – theage.com.au

OSCAR the cat makes his grand entrances just as life is about to leave.

A hop onto the bed, a fastidious lick of the paws, then a snuggle beside a nursing home patient with little time left.

“He’s a cat with an uncanny instinct for death,” said David Dosa, assistant professor at the Brown University School of Medicine and a geriatric specialist. “He attends deaths. He’s pretty insistent on it.”

I really like Scrabble but finding the time for a whole game can be tricky. So I really like this site that lets you play with people over several weeks if necessary.

One of my English classes is making a short mockumentary film about the Wedgie. It’s wouldn’t be my first choice of topic but so far it seems to be shaping up well.

The wedgie can be a form of torture practiced by bullies performed to humiliate someone, or as a practical joke, depending on the context and the parties involved. It is inflicted when an individual, or group of individuals, grab the underwear of the victim and pull up, causing the underwear to wedge between the buttocks. This is also considered a very, very painful experience to most people however, some people find wedgies just plain annoying and not painful in the slightest. A wedgie is also what happens when a person’s undergarments get bunched up and “ride up” between the buttocks, causing discomfort and annoyance. This can be caused by bad posture, awkward sitting or tight underpants.

Global Volcanism Program | Frequently Asked Questions | How many active volcanoes are there in the world?

The answer to this common question depends upon use of the word “active.” At least 20 volcanoes will probably be erupting as you read these words (Italy’s Stromboli, for example, has been erupting for more than a thousand years); roughly 60 erupted each year through the 1990s; 154 in the full decade 1990-1999; about 550 have had historically documented eruptions; about 1300 (and perhaps more than 1500) have erupted in the Holocene (past 10,000 years); and some estimates of young seafloor volcanoes exceed a million. Because dormant intervals between major eruptions at a single volcano may last hundreds to thousands of years, dwarfing the relatively short historical record in many regions, it is misleading to restrict usage of “active volcano” to recorded human memories: we prefer to add another identifying word (e.g. “historically active” or “Holocene volcano”).

I have no advance knowledge of the last book but all the same I believe that Snape will turn out to be on the good side of the fight. I didn’t think of this myself. Rather a very clever woman I knew explain about why his actions at the end of the Half Blood Prince were absolutely necessary and why Snape was so angry about Harry calling him a coward.

Tomorrow morning, of course, I’ll be off to get a copy of the book and once my partner has read it then I’ll see if this theory stands up or falls down.

When creating a map you need to remember the following.

Border – this demarcates the map and show what is included and what is not.
Orientation – which way is north? if when it is up on the page you still need to show this.
Legend – maps use symbols; what do symbols on your map mean?
Title – What is this a map of?
Scale – state what scale your map is on. make sure your relative scale is correct.
Source – where is the information from that you used to create this map?

Neat
Accurate
Coloured – maps use colour. blue is only ever used for water and green is commonly used for vegetation.

In her early review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the New York Times’ Michiko Kakutani explains that the paper scored its copy at a bookstore on Wednesday. Her 1,100-word review posted that evening. Wait, how can you read a 784-page book and write a considered take on it all in one afternoon?
