  Why Do Cats Hiss? The Curious Link Between Cats and Snakes Hissing Many animals hiss — but chances are, the first two hissy animals you think of are cats and snakes. Snakes have an organ in the throat called the glottis that they breathe through. Normally this is a quiet process, but by forcibly expelling air from the glottis, the telltale hissing sound emerges. Snakes hiss as a defensive tactic — one that is especially useful for small, non-venomous snakes. A hissing snake can give the impression of a larger, more dangerous foe. So why do cats hiss? Believe it or not, cats are actually imitating snakes when they hiss! Snakes are seen as some of the most fearsome predators in the animal kingdom. Just like snakes, cats hiss to sound intimidating and to try to scare away whatever is threatening them. Litter-Robot resident veterinarian Dr. Justine Lee explains that by changing the shape of their tongue and pharynx (the tissue right in front of their voice box), cats are able to shar...

  Malaki ang tsansang makuha ni Super Tekla—Romeo Librada sa tunay na buhay—ang custody ni Angelo, ang anak nila ng kanyang live-in partner na si Michelle Lhor Bana-ag. Ito ay dahil mismong ang broadcaster na si Raffy Tulfo ang gagawa ng paraan para mangyari ito. Idineklara ni Raffy sa Tuesday edition (October 27) ng radio program niyang  Raffy Tulfo in Action  na tinatapos na niya ang pagtulong kay Michelle dahil kumbinsido siyang gumagamit pa rin ng ipinagbabawal na gamot ang karelasyon ni Tekla. Humagulgol nang iyak si Michelle  nang sabihin ni Raffy ang gagawin nitong paglapit sa Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) para makuha ang custody ng apat-na-buwang-sanggol na anak nila ni Tekla at ng kanyang mga pamangkin. “ "Nagisa ka sa sarili mong mantika. So, Michelle, ni singkong duling, wala akong ibibigay na tulong sa 'yo. "At yung mga bata, mga pamangkin mo, partida ‘to, ipatatanggal ko sa kustodiya mo. "Tatawagan ko yung DSWD para i-assess.

Story of Waris Dirie

The Waris Dirie Story My family was a tribe of herdsmen in the Somalian desert. And as a child, the freedom I had to experience nature's sights, sounds and smells was pure joy. We watched lions baking in the sun. We ran with giraffes, zebras and foxes. We chased hyraxes -- rabbit-size animals -- through the sand. I was so happy. Gradually, those happy times disappeared. Life became harder. By five I knew what it was to be an African woman, to live with terrible suffering in a passive, helpless manner. Women are the backbone of Africa; they do most of the work. Yet women are powerless to make decisions. They have no say, sometimes not even in whom they will marry. By the time I was around 13, I had had my fill of these traditions. A little girl no more, I was fast and incredibly fit. Before, I had no choice but to suffer. This time I determined that I would run away. My nightmare journey began when my father announced he had arranged my marriage. I had to act fast, I told my mother ...
