PUFFINS GO BACK TO LUNDY
A lucky group of young puffins were released on Lundy Island ,off the coast of Bideford ,Devon. The puffins were among 4o seabirds rescued during feburary storms-3 in total.The birds spent 2 months at r.s .p.c.a Westhatch Wildlife Centre then taken by Ms Olderburg to Lundy.This was good for puffins and lundy as the numbers of puffins fell to just 5 in 2003 due to rats-now eradicated-and now more than 180 are on the island.

LOW FAT FOOD DOUBLE THE SUGAR
We are always told to eat less fat but its differcult when low-fat foods sometimes contain double the sugar. as i found out from reading this article in sunday mirror -06.04.2014 -page 14 which compares various low fat supermarket options.why is so much extra sugar a problem is that sugar will convert into fat and you will find you feel hungry again quicker.http://www.channel4.com/programmes/dispatches/4od

MIKE HARDCASTLE-INTERVIEWED BY MARK ANTONY RAINES
what inspired you? 1st answer :I got inspired after studying a number of 18th and 19th century
scientists or polymaths who had an encyclopedic outlook in their study
of the natural world and many other fields of science. I also love the
art and the craftmanship of those two periods, especially the Victorian
era. What was created back then was created to last, unlike the
"throw-away" creations of today. I got inspired to create my website
after reading the book, "The Man Who Tapped The Secrets Of The Universe"
by Glenn Clark, which delves into the genius mind of the more modern
polymath, Walter Russell. My interest in Cryptozoology has been
life-long as my father has always had an interest in the subject and he
personally knew people who had seen thylacines here on the mainland, as
well as our own personal experiences of yowies on one of our previous
properties West of Kempsey, on the mid north coast of NSW.
Q2: What are your aims?
2nd answer:
My aim is to connect and interact through my website as well as through social media, with fellow cryptozoologists, natural scientists and those interested in the polymathic outlook. This is what my website is trying to promote.
Q3: What plans do you have for the future?
3rd answer:
Well, we are planning to relocate to the southern granite belt in Queensland in the near future. This is a mountainous area, featuring a number of National Parks and wilderness areas. There have been a number of reported cryptid sightings over the years in this area, and I am keen to do cryptozoological research of the area once we are settled there. I am adding to my website and this will be a continual process. I am also putting together a book canvessing the subjects that are featured on my website. It will include any new or current cryptozoological findings.

Holy prefix, Batman! A look at Bat-words in honor of Batman's 75th anniversary
Holy prefix, Batman! A look at Bat-words in honor of Batman's 75th anniversary
Batman's contributions to the English language are as varied and colorful as his rogues gallery

Batman's contributions to the English language are practically Shakespearean in scope.
(Facebook.com/DCComics)
I
t's been 75
years since Batman made his comic book debut. Since 1939, the cowled
hero has contributed villains, sidekicks, gadgets, and thousands of
stories to popular culture — and no less significantly, quite a few
additions to the English language.Almost everyone can recite the names of the major Batman allies (Alfred, Commissioner Gordon, Robin) and villains (The Joker, The Riddler, The Penguin, Two-Face). Nicknames such as "the caped crusader," "the dark knight," "the world's greatest detective," and "the boy wonder" are thrown around in any number of contexts, as is the fill-in-the-blank phrase "Holy ___, Batman!" But among all these linguistic contributions, the most flexible and fun Batman-ism is probably the Bat- affix, which is seen in Batarangs, Batcows, Batkids, and beyond.
Though my interest in reading and watching Batman has ebbed and flowed, I've been a lifelong fan of Bat-words. Who wouldn't be? Bat-terms are invariably fun to say, and what kid doesn't dream of hanging around the Batcave, driving the Batmobile, or tossing a Batarang at a villain's head?
Many of those terms were coined by Lorenzo Semple, Jr., who created the Batman television show read more

NO CREATURE TIME IS TO LET DIE OUT.
Pandas live in the lowlands of china and eat a diet of bamboo and are differercult to breed in zoos, but the article found in the sun newspaper by Chris Packham suggests that it's time we let this species become extinct and focus on realistic conservation. This idea is wrong, we should try to keep any species going until their last breath as when you begin down the road of picking and choosing how far will man go.
