Welcome back to Info On Cats! Today's topic is "Catmint or Catnip". I gave my cat a toy that had catmint inside as filling and he goes crazy over it! If you have a cat(adult) then it will be able to control itself when it eats or chews on catnip. If you have a kitten, you may worry a little. Don't worry. The catmint is harmless to the cat. Give your cat some and he will put on a show for you. The symptoms of catmint from personal experience (when your cat eats it) are:
dizziness
loss of balance
sleepiness
disorientation
and hyper behavior
If your cat eats or chews on this plant,(above picture) don't worry. It is normal for you cat to have those symptoms and to be eating plants. Over a period of time, your cat will get used to the catmint and will develop a small immunity to the symptoms above. Of course your cat will still act funny. So all in all, don't freak out if your cat eats catnip. =)
The Wii can imitate actions and vibrations the same way a real game of tennis can, but is the Wii really a good game system to have?
My mom wants to know whether or not the Wii can give you the exercise you need.First, what can a Wii do? A Wii enables you to do actions involved in a game. For example, when you play baseball, you use the controller as a bat and you try to hit the ball as if you were actually playing baseball. The Wii is not like the X-Box, the X-Box doesn’t make you stand up and move around. The controllers that the X-Box uses, makes you use as little energy as possible when playing games because it only makes you use your thumbs. The Wii, however, makes you move around and stand up. The Wii can count as a little bit of exercise because it makes you use more than your thumbs to play.
Ehow.com took a survey that showed the X-box and the PS 3(Play Station 3) only raised the player’s heart rate by 20%; whereas, the Wii raised the heart rate up to 75%-100%. That showed that using an X-Box or a PS 3 only increased the player’s heart rate a small amount, but the Wii reached up to a 100% increase. A person used a heart rate monitor and tested his heart rate before and after playing Wii Sports. Before he started to play his heart rate was 76 BPM. After 35 minutes of playing Wii sports his heart reached a rate of 158 BPM and he burned 491 calories. He reached the point where the Wii counted as exercise. The Wii can get your heart rate higher than an X-Box or a PS 3, which makes the Wii is a better source of exercise.
Sorry about the slow posts. Here is some morse code for you to look at. This code can be very useful. I myself am learning this code. Feel free to test me on morse code any time. =)
Russia: Prime Minister Vladamir Putin says he has big plans for Russia’s nuclear energy. In 2001, when Vladamir Putin was the president of Russia, he signed a package of laws about importing nuclear fuel that was purchased. This process allowed trading to happen. Over the last decade this process made $20 billion. Russia has also purchased fuel from Bulgaria, Czech, Republic, Latvia, Libya, Romania, Suburbia and Uzbekistan. Russia also bought depleted uranium from power plants in France, Germany, and the Netherlands. An estimated 700,000 tons of radioactive uranium tailings (including waste from Russia) are being held in Siberian cold storage. Mayak is known for having the number of ecological disasters. However, for Vladamir Putin, it means big money. $$$
Mexico: Barack Obama may be rethinking off shore drilling. But Mexican Felipe Calderon’s main concern is that his country is not drilling enough. Their oil production has decreased by 1 billion barrels since 2004. Pemex, an oil monopoly or a company with an exclusive right to oil wells, is drilling new oil wells everywhere to find oil. All of Mexico’s wild life should be afraid because according to Pemex’s safety record more than 1,000 Pemex workers have died in industrial accidents in the last 20 years. After all, Pemex is responsible for the 1979 toxic disaster.
Ghana: The Ghana government has tried to make good come from trash. Ghana basically wants to make electricity come from the gases of the trash heaps. Ghana hopes they will reach the goals of generating 50 megawatts of electricity out of trash over the next 15 years. In Ghana, so many people look through the trash that there is hardly anything left to make electricity from gas. In 2008, Ghana spent $250 million on importing trash from Canada and Western Europe.
Netherlands: The Netherlands has so few prisoners that they hard to close 8 prisons and cut more than a thousand jobs. Belgian has the opposite problem. They have 10, 400 prisoners and they need more space. The Belgian government is thinking of renting 500 Dutch prisons for $38 million a year to send their prisoners to.
Australia: Australia is worried about the growing opium producing poppies because they don’t want to increase crime, drug abuse and terrorism. Poppies are legal to grow in Australia for medicine like for pain relief. So, Tasmania has taken the opportunity to grow poppies and rake in $60 million per year.
This slogan was created by Torc. I added a song but it's kinda hard to write and sing a song on a blog. =) I have permission to use this slogan by the way, so it is not plagiarism. Unfortunately, no one is allowed to use this only paraphrase it.
