Cat

 CAT

Cute Cat

The domestic cat (Felis catus or Felis silvestris catus) is a small, usually furry, domesticated, and carnivorous mammal. They are often called housecats when kept as an indoor pet or simply cats when there is no need to distinguish them from other felids and felines. Cats are often valued by humans for companionship and their ability to hunt pests.

Cats are similar in anatomy to the other felids, with strong, flexible bodies, quick reflexes, sharp retractable claws, and teeth adapted to killing small prey. Cat senses fit a crepuscular and predatory ecological niche. Cats can hear sounds too faint or too high in frequency for human ears, such as those made by mice and other small animals. They can see in near darkness. Like most other mammals, cats have poorer color vision and a better sense of smell than humans.
Despite being solitary hunters, cats are a social species and cat communication includes the use of a variety of vocalizations (mewing, purring, trilling, hissing, growling and grunting), as well as cat pheromones and types of cat-specific body language.

Cats have a high breeding rate. Under controlled breeding, they can be bred and shown as registered pedigree pets, a hobby known as cat fancy. Failure to control the breeding of pet cats by neutering and the abandonment of former household pets has resulted in large numbers of feral cats worldwide, requiring population control. This has contributed, along with habitat destruction and other factors, to extinction of many bird species. Cats have been known to extirpate a bird species within a specific region and may have contributed to extinction of isolated island populations. Cats are thought to be primarily, though not solely responsible, for the extinction of 33 species of birds and the presence of feral and free ranging cats makes some locations unsuitable for attempted species reestablishment in otherwise suitable locations.[


Since cats were venerated in ancient Egypt, they were commonly believed to have been domesticated there, but there may have been instances of domestication as early as the Neolithic from around 9,500 years ago (7,500 BC). A genetic study in 2007 concluded that domestic cats are descended from African wildcats (Felis silvestris lybica), having diverged around 8,000 BC in West Asia. Cats are the most popular pet in the world, and are now found in almost every place where humans live.

Coffee

Coffee

Introduction

Although coffee is referred to as a bean, it is actually the seed of a piece of fruit, known as a coffee cherryThey were termed ‘beans’, as they resemble the appearance of actual beans. The cherries are hand picked, and the seed is separated from the fruit. There are various methods of achieving this, with some allowing the fruit to dry first, and others removing the seed much sooner. By varying the amount of time the fruit is allowed to dry on the seed, these methods impact the flavor of the finished product. After the ‘beans’ are dried, the unroasted product is called ‘green coffee’.

Advantages of Coffee

First, it can keep a cool head. The caffeine contained in coffee can stimulate the central nervous system inside the brain, bring you a clear thinking and refresh your brain, so as to improve the work efficiency. And this is the main reason why so many office workers can not live without coffee.
Second, it has an antioxidant effect. The caffeine acid and chlorogenic acid in coffee have the antioxidant function, which can effectively remove the free radicals and delay the aging of human body. What's more, some research institutions have confirmed that the antioxidant effect of coffee can be comparable with that of green tea. Third, it can promote urination and eliminate edema.
Coffee, especially black coffee, has a significant diuretic effect and can help eliminate the edema.
Fourth, it can help lose weight. As coffee can promote the metabolism and reduce heat, so it can achieve the effect of weight loss. Fifth, it has an antidepressant effect. What's more, coffee can make people happy and full of spirit, and can also relieve the depression. Although coffee has a lot of benefits to human body, while every coin has two sides, this is also the same with coffee.

About Assassin's Creed

Assassin's Creed


Assassin's Creed
Assassin's Creed (Google.2015)
 Overview
Assassin's Creed is a franchise of action-adventure games from Ubisoft, heavily influenced by games like Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (another Ubisoft franchise, also featuring park our). Assassin's Creed originally began as a spin-off to the Prince of Persia series, with the original game being an early draft for Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones, before the team decided to make it a new IP with a similarly Middle-Eastern setting, based on the historical Islamic Assassins cult active during the Crusades (see Official Xbox Magazine).
The original Assassin's Creed was set mainly during the Crusades, with Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad as the original Assassin, though it was framed from a near-future point of view in the character of a bartender, Desmond Miles, extracting his "genetic" memories with a device called an Animus. Due to these juxtaposed time periods, the direction and eras that new sequels will take is unknown. The first major sequel, Assassin's Creed II, skipped over five centuries to take place during the Italian Renaissance, and the narrative's focus was on the character development of new assassin Ezio Auditore di Firenze. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood then acted as a direct continuation of the events of II. The last of the Ezio games, Assassin's Creed: Revelations took place late in this life and was set in Constantinople. Spin-offs for portable platforms have expanded the existing characters' story lines. Assassin's Creed III ends Desmond's journey by reliving Connor Kenway's memories during the American Revolution.
Assassin's Creed narrative density, its use of historical buildings and the ability to climb them freely, and the Hidden Blade, have become increasingly popular traits in modern gaming culture. Since the release of the first game, the franchise has spawned sequels, prequels, graphic novels, comic books, animated films, figurines, weapon replicas, clothing and other merchandise. It was also referenced in the Grand Theft Auto IV achievement "Assassin's Creed".

Lykan Hyper Sport (Google.2015)
The new Lykan Hyper Sport by W Motors is estimated to cost $3.4 million and is considered to be the first luxury sports car out of the Middle East. The motor company plans to go along with the “one of a kind” pattern and will only manufacture seven in all. “The design of the Lykan Hyper Sport is actually inspired by the Wolf, thus its name the Lykan (the most advanced species of Werewolves). He initially started imagining what the Lykan would look like many years ago. The more the project evolved, the more the design evolved with it. They design director Anthony Jannarelly, had a big hand in the design of this beautiful beast, as he was able to understand my vision and original design, complementing it with his touch of creativity and talent. Keeping in mind that we were designing a car that is ready to go for production and following all the international rules and regulations of safety and homologation, which was a very tough task when wanting to keep an aggressive and modern design. The Lykan can be fully customizable with endless combinations of colours, materials, precious stones and metals.” Ralph Debbas the CEO of Wmotors.
