Two-thirds of most important biodiversity sites on Indonesia’s holiday islands lack protection Eleven bird species are endemic to the island of Timor, encompassing the Indonesian western half and the independent eastern half, while Sumba has seven endemic to the island. Of the 43 IBAs in the provinces, three, containing half of the total IBA land area of West Nusa Tenggara, have no protection, and 24 sites, comprising two-thirds of East Nusa Tenggara’s total IBA area, are unprotected. The area supports important populations of the endangered Flores Hanging-parrot Loriculus flosculus and endangered Flores Crow Corvus florensis the principal population of the Flores Monarch and is the richest area for restricted-range species on the island. www.birdlife.net /news/pr/2003/09/nusa.html

Giant Eagle reaches settlement with former employee David Warnes, 37, of Bethel Park, a former Giant Eagle employee, sued the supermarket chain for firing him after he ate half a donut and put the other half back in the box for sale.

Guardian Shanghai surprise ... a new town in ye olde English style In a small corner of the giant construction site that is China, something rather quaint is happening: modern skyscrapers are giving way to Georgian terraces, concrete squares are being discarded in favour of English village greens, and instead of the usual eight-lane superhighways there are winding cobbled lanes. That, at least, is the ambitiously low-rise plan for a giant new satellite-city near Shanghai that aims to recreate the most picturesque elements of a British town to lure homebuyers from China's newly affluent middle class. Construction has begun on a train link that will cut the journey into town to 15 minutes. www.guardian.co.uk /print/0,3858,4937259-103681,00.html   (582 words)

In Music We Trust - Giant Steps: Technicolor Giant Steps is a great band, pure and simple. I love these guys, but the first half of the CD (the best half) is dance crazy, and then it gets slower and just knocks you off guard. The CD starts off with the track, "Bohemian Dream." If your ever down, just put on Giant Steps and they'll cheer you up right away. www.inmusicwetrust.com /articles/01s05.html   (325 words)

Harry Potter.ca Discussion Chamber - Half-blood Prince To be a prince you would require royal lineage (or be the inheritor of a title I believe) and Hagrids mom, though she was a giant, was never mentioned as being the gurg, or giant ruler. If he was a half blood, there would be many ways to ignore the fact, as it was pointed out, Voldemort himself was a half blood and a member of Slytherin. Posted - 12/28/2004 : 1:42:45 PM personally i think it might be seamus...he said hes half blood and they never really expanded on that. www.harrypotter.ca /forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=636   (325 words)

Amazing Science The masaka, half masaka, quarter masaka known as the kakani, and half kakani, copper coins (progressively lower weights) had the same composition, viz., one-quarter hardening alloy and the rest copper. In a report published in the journal Current Science Balasubramanian says, the protective film was formed catalytically by the presence of high amounts of phosphorous in the iron—as much as one per cent against less than 0.05 per cent in today's iron. The high phosphorous content is a result of the unique iron-making process practiced by ancient Indians, who reduced iron ore into steel in one step by mixing it with charcoal. www.hinduism.co.za /amazing.htm   (325 words)

Attack of the Giant Leeches Review (1959) The monster costumes are ambitious but none too convincing, and only half of the cast are worth watching, but Attack of the Giant Leeches has the advantage of a strong, creepy location and a solid first half that keeps you watching the more conventional second. But the threat of the giant leeches will soon spell doom for them all... Unlucky for him that the leeches are keeping themselves well hidden, only emerging from the murky waters to drag another casualty to their lair. www.thespinningimage.co.uk /cultfilms/displaycultfilm.asp?reviewid=766   (560 words)

GP4K - Animals, Animals! Soon the giant anteater won't have a place to live as their habitats are being destroyed as well. Giant anteaters use their senses to detect ants and predators, including such big cats as pumas and jaguars. The giant anteater, although a strong animal, is at extreme risk for extinction because people hunt them for trophies. www.gp4k.com /animals/Article.asp?ID=871   (554 words)

Welcome to the LaFayette Apple Festival On October 16, 1869 workmen "discovered" the Cardiff Giant, a ten and one half foot stone statue, on a farm outside Cardiff, New York. In 1948 the Giant was purchased and laid to rest at the Farmers' Museum in Cooperstown, New York. Then, in 1866, Hull got the idea of creating a giant and passing it off to the public as a pretrified man. www.lafayetteapplefest.org /giant.html   (355 words)

Glorantha Digest: Half-Elves Part One I decided for the elf it was easy, she would be reborn in the giant marrow beds, from which all elves are born, emerging as an adult rather than a child. The other way to become half a troll is to be initiated into a troll cult without actually going through the entire troll adoption ceremony (as Arkat and his companions did). The elves have access to ancient resurrection rites they can use, however these are Aldryami rites, and the individual will be reborn in an elf-birthing pod, and emerge with some elven characteristics. glorantha.temppeli.org /digest/gd6/1999.04/4675.html   (355 words)

Cardiff Giant It was claimed this ten and a half foot tall statue was a fossilized man who had been buried for many years, and the giant quickly became a tourist attraction. It eventually came to light that the Cardiff Giant had been created by George Hull, a New York tobacconist who hired a stonemason to carve the statue and treat it to appear aged, then transported it to Cardiff and buried it. P.T. Barnum offered to purchase the giant and was turned down; Barnum then created a copy of the giant and displayed that. www.rotten.com /library/hoaxes/cardiff-giant   (180 words)

PSA Journal: The African Antelope The antelopes range in size from the tiny royal antelope, 10 inches at the shoulder and about the size of a rabbit, to the giant eland, almost 6 feet in height and weighing about 1500 pounds. The Greater Kudu is about 63 inches at the shoulder, but less than half of the weight of the eland. As a matter of fact, the eland has been raised for beef in some areas, but the main problem is that they can stand flat-footed and clear an 8-foot fence, making it difficult to keep them in an enclosure. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m1306/is_7_66/ai_63692753   (1325 words)

USATODAY.com - Telecom billing complaints increase Billing complaints against beleaguered No. 2 long-distance giant MCI rose 310% in the first half of this year over last. That doesn't comfort James Thomas of Hartford, Conn. He says he was billed more than $1,300 in July for MCI long-distance calls that he says should have cost $20. MCI, which hopes to emerge from Chapter 11 this fall but is battling a flurry of fraud allegations and bad press, says its internal data show complaints are down since it filed for bankruptcy protection in July 2002. www.usatoday.com /money/industries/telecom/2003-09-01-mci_x.htm   (1325 words)

Recent Papers and Essays By Ben Shedd I have seen this artifact often in two kinds of giant screen shots: when people are seen moving with any kind of speed, and in forward moving shots (which appears particularly apparent in the lower half of the screen). I see a need for science museum staff and giant screen filmmakers as community leaders - and as the "translators" - to be sensitive to the fact that films make millions of impressions and impacts at many levels of modeling, from social to psychological to factual. For giant screen films to be effective as science literacy vehicles, all of these levels, from the cognitive experience to the limbic experience, must be considered and controlled in the creation and production of science media. members.aol.com /sheddprod2/papers.html   (1325 words)

Xen - Valve Developer Community Xen was often criticised for its frustrating "jumping puzzles" - jumping from platform to platform, or jumping off of giant manta-rays, etc. Therefore, it is best to relegate moving platforms to an atmospheric role rather than a gameplay mechanic. Half-Life ends with the player travelling to Xen and defeating the Nihilanth. Xen is the native home of various organisms such as the headcrab, the barnacle, and the vortigaunt (aka Alien Slave). developer.valvesoftware.com /wiki/Xen   (303 words)
