carnivores in Anamalai Tiger Reserve, India 368 Downloads 200
Citations 9 Comments Prey preferences of large carnivores
(tiger (Panthera tigris), leopard (Panthera pardus) and dhole
(Cuon alpinus)) in the tropical forest of Anamalai Tiger Reserve
(ATR) were evaluated. This was the first study in ATR to
estimate the density of prey and the food habits of these large
carnivores. The 958-km2 intensive study area was found to have a
high mammalian prey density (72.1 animals per square kilometre)
with wild boar (20.61 animals per square kilometre) and chital
(20.54 animals per square kilometre) being the most common
species, followed by nilgiri tahr (13.6 animals per square
kilometre). When the density figures were multiplied by the
average weight of each prey species, a high biomass density of
14,204 kg km−2 was obtained for the intensive study area. Scat
analysis and incidental kill observation were used to determine

comparing Street Fighter 4 and Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is a bit
silly. Sure, both games feature Street Fighter characters, but
MvC3 really only has two characters representing the SF series,
and yes, while one is Ryu, I hardly think that Capcom would not
use their flagship fighting character in a crossover. The rest
of Capcom’s representatives range their entire library, from
Platformers to their other Fighting franchises. As far as
Street Fighter x Tekken goes, this game is only the first part
of a two-game partnership between Namco and Capcom. The other
part, Tekken x Street Fighter, will place characters from both
games into an engine more similar to Tekken. I personally think
it’s interesting to see how characters from each are adapted

religion Religion is a celebration of excellence: Review of
‘Born Rich’ One of the major theories of religion advanced in
the 19th century, most particularly by Nietzsche, is that it is
fueled by envy, fear,BornRich and resentment of the heroic
virtues. People used religion to reinforce their own mediocrity
and to justify their hatred of excellence. Religion was a
manifestation of resentment. The theory is certainly consistent
with the fact that if you possess any virtue or excellence at
all you will eventually become the object of a murderous,
venomous envy. Resentment is out there and is ubiquitous. It and
envy are certainly major social forces. Religion scholars ignore
them at their peril. Resentment in particular has been harnessed
by unscrupulous politicians for millennia and used by these
‘leaders’ to perpetrate murder and dispossession and all kinds
of other less bloodthirsty but no less nefarious social

actual steering just doesn't give you any feeling for the road.
The Juke also while OK in the back (the seats folding down more

that you are trading off a more sporty car for things like more
space, but with the Juke you aren't getting that much more space

Yahoo Contributor Network An Anorthosis player was receiving
treatment from a medical staff during a match against Omonia
Nicosia in Cyprus on Sunday when a frustrated fan threw an
explosive directly at the downed player. Medical staff and
players went scampering away when the smoking object hit the
pitch. The explosion appeared to cause more terror than
physical harm. No one was seriously injured in the explosion,
but play was halted for about 10 minutes. About a month ago,
another explosion occurred on the pitch during an Italian league
match, but that explosion went off harmlessly in the corner of
the pitch, away from any players. There seems to be some debate
if the downed player was ever really hurt at all. That doesn't

did. When the news of this event broke, all the reporting said

2.135241 | 0.306942 | 44 | From Conservapedia Jump to: navigation, search Devshirme is
from Turkish, meaning "gathering". Devshirme was a system that
took place under the Ottoman Empire. The system of devshirme was
introduced under Sultan Murad 2 in the 1420's. The sultan would
collect Christian boys from the Balkans and turn them into his
slaves. Usually the boys were around the ages of 8 or 10 but
sometimes even as old as 20. The purpose of this was to ensure
that the sultan would have loyal troops and civil servants. The
devshirme collection was performed by a higher Janissary officer
(who often would themselves be of devshirme origin.) Normally
around the age of 20, when they were finished training, the boys
would be placed in the army or civil service and could become
landowners. A few would become governors or viziers after
receiving an education in the palace school. The devshirme never
were granted total freedom. |

talent but also of treachery, of the follies of love and of
negotiating the passage from carefree adolescence to womanhood.
Somewhere along the line, as the months and days were counting
down to her rendezvous in Beijing, the once unbeatable Manaudou
got lost. Tick, tick, tick. In the Athens Olympics in 2004,
aged just 17, Manaudou had brought home France's first swimming
gold since Jean Boiteux in 1952. She added a silver in the

2012 Kamenetzky By Andy Kamenetzky The Milwaukee Bucks have
tumbled a long way since the "Fear the Deer" playoff run of
2010. Last season, they ended below .500, and this campaign is
paced to match, with Andrew Bogut's fractured left ankle doing
hope no favors. However, that doesn't mean this game should be
taken for granted as a win to open the Lakers' back-to-back road
swing. For starters, no team 1-6 outside of its home turf can
ever count on a win away from its soil. Plus, as inspired as the
Lakers played against the Clippers, their nonexistent track
record of consistency means they're essentially starting from
scratch. In other words, this may be a winnable game for the
Lakers, but it's best to treat it as one requiring blood, sweat
and tears for victory. Rocky Widner/Getty Images Stephen

I've noticed that the text spreads over all three columns as I'm

wondering if there was a package or some code I could use to get
my text to fill this way. This mechanism is okay if I plan to
use to whole page, but if my text doesn't take up the whole

(Algerina Perna, Baltimore Sun / February 26, 2013) For such a
long time, arsenic was the perfect poison. It is odorless,
colorless and tasteless, so it's difficult to detect when
slipped into a food or beverage. Its effects are gradual and
cumulative — deflecting suspicion from the killer. The symptoms
of arsenic poisoning mimic those of other diseases common in the
19th century, such as cholera and dysentery. Because the
elemental form of arsenic occurs naturally in the environment,
it is inexpensive and easily obtained. And until a clever
British chemist named James Marsh devised a test in the 1830s,
it was impossible to trace the poison in the human body. No
wonder Rockville resident John Parascandola dubs arsenic "The
King of Poisons" in his readable, newly published history.

Fizeau(1819-1896) to measure the speed of light. The basic idea
is tomeasure the total time it takes light to travel from some

the light source and the mirror, and if the transit timefor one
round-trip is t, then the speed of lightis c = 2d/t. To measure
thetransit time, Fizeau used a rotating toothed wheel, which
convertsan otherwise continuous beam of light to a series of
light pulses.The rotation of the wheel controls what an observer
at the lightsource sees. For example, assume that the toothed

the ethical thing to do when you're questioning your sexuality?
According to one advice columnist, you should tell all your

to the Cornell Daily Sun's Everyday Ethicist Elisabeth Rosen: I
have recently been struggling with my sexuality. I think I'm a
lesbian, but I'm not ready to come out. However, I live in a
sorority house where a lot of the girls walk around in skimpy
clothes, bathing suits, etc. Is it ethical for me to pretend to
be straight? I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable, but I
feel bad living a lie, especially because if the other girls
knew, their opinions of me would undoubtedly change. Rosen

1.923668 | 7.419562 | -1 | Take the 2-minute tour × I've been wondering about this ever
since I was a little kid and I used to ride in the back of the
car and my mom would speed like hell towards a green light, only
to slam on the brakes when she realized she wasn't going to make
it. Here is my question, loosely phrased: Given that we want to
make it across the intersection before the light is up, what
should be our position function? To make things precise, we
could specify some initial conditions, put a cap on the car's
acceleration/deceleration (or its speed or its jerk or
whatever), fix a probability distribution on when the light will
change, and assign some point values to our happiness if we make
the light vs. don't make the light vs. end up entering the
intersection after the light has changed and get a ticket for
it. And then of course we could throw in the extra curveball of
a yellow light warning you that it's about to turn red... A

I did some searching for the difference. Café au Lait - let's
just say drip coffee and warm milk. There's a lot of different
definitions ... with two-thirds hot frothed milk ... 50/50 ...
milk served warm and in a separate pitcher. There's even a
Cajun style cup of café au lait, using a dark roast that
includes chicory. Someone from New Orleans learned to his dismay
that it isn't made that way elsewhere in the country. Caffè
