Frugivore 
 Some seeds must pass through the digestive system (the stomach and intestines) before they can germinate.
Frugivore 
 Frugivores have also evolved in different ways to eat different fruit; some use teeth, others long beaks or short beaks.
Frugivore 
 Elsewhere, an exclusively frugivore diet is impossible and is supplemented by insects or rougher plant matter.
Frugivore 
 Some people say that humans are frugivores; this is unlikely given the evolution of man in the dry tropical region of the Rift Valley.
Frugivore 
 However, the climate in the Rift valley at the time of our evolution was likely a tropical rainforest.
Frugivore 
 That said, almost all primates and even carnivores will travel great distances to feast when a fruit tree has dropped its ripened fruit.
Frugivore 
 Many species will remember the exact fruiting date and location of a fruiting tree which highlights fruits great nutritional benefit.

Objectivism (Ayn Rand) 
 It says that a thing is the thing which it is, or "A is A." What people learn about the things that exist comes both from the identity of the things themselves and from the way that people observe (see) and think about what they have observed.
Objectivism (Ayn Rand) 
 This means recognizing that a thing is the thing it is, and to not confuse it with things which it is not.
Objectivism (Ayn Rand) 
 People should always try to improve their lives and be happy in the long term, so that they are happy now and in the future.
Objectivism (Ayn Rand) 
 People should not hurt others to try to be happy, but they also should not hurt themselves to try to make other people happy.
Objectivism (Ayn Rand) 
 If governments or criminals take things away from people, or try to make people do things they do not want to do, it does damage to everybody.
Objectivism (Ayn Rand) 
 Ayn Rand thought that governments should only be able to protect people from violence, theft, fraud, and other actions that go against people's rights.

Konrad Lorenz 
 Konrad Zacharias Lorenz (Vienna, 7 November 1903 – Vienna, 27 February 1989) was an Austrian zoologist, naturalist, ornithologist and Nobel Prize winner.
Konrad Lorenz 
 In his autobiographical essay, published in 1973 in Les Prix Nobel (people who win the Nobel Prize are asked to write essays about their lives), Lorenz said that his parents were the main reason he was so successful.
Konrad Lorenz 
 He also said that a book by Selma Lagerlof called The Wonderful Adventures of Nils that he read as a child was the reason he became interested in wild geese.
Konrad Lorenz 
 Lorenz began his studies in 1922 at Columbia University, but he returned to Vienna in 1923 to continue his studies at the University of Vienna until 1928.
Konrad Lorenz 
 During this time, he continued to work as a medical doctor and "got quite friendly with some Russians, mostly doctors".
Konrad Lorenz 
 When he was sent back home after the war, he was allowed to keep both the manuscript of the book he had been writing and his pet starling.
Konrad Lorenz 
 Lorenz shared the 1973 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for discoveries in individual and social behavior patterns" with two other important early ethologists, Niko Tinbergen and Karl von Frisch.
Konrad Lorenz 
 Lorenz retired from the Max Planck Institute in 1973 but continued to research and publish from his family home, in Austria.
Konrad Lorenz 
 In his application for membership to the Nazi-party NSDAP he wrote in 1938: "I'm able to say that my whole scientific work is devoted to the ideas of the National Socialists."
Konrad Lorenz 
 When he accepted the Nobel Prize in 1973, Lorenz apologized for a 1940 publication that included Nazi views of science, saying that "many highly decent scientists hoped, like I did, for a short time [that] National Socialism [would produce good results], and many quickly turned away from it with the same horror as I [did]."
Konrad Lorenz 
 Together with Niko Tinbergen, Lorenz formed the idea of an innate releasing mechanism to explain instinctive behaviors (fixed action patterns).
Konrad Lorenz 
 Building on the ideas of William McDougall, Lorenz developed this into a "psychohydraulic" explanation of the motives (reasons) of behavior.
Konrad Lorenz 
 His influence on a younger generation of ethologists, as well as his books, were important in bringing ethology to the attention of the general public.
Konrad Lorenz 
 "All the advantages that man has gained from his ever-deepening understanding of the natural world that surrounds him, his technological, chemical and medical progress, all of which should [help] to [ease] human suffering... tends instead to [make] humanity's destruction [more likely than it was before]."
Konrad Lorenz 
 "To gain a desired prey, a dog or wolf will do things [that they would normally not do, such as] run through thorn bushes, jump into cold water and expose themselves to risks which would normally frighten them.
Konrad Lorenz 
 All these inhibitory mechanisms... act as a counterweight to the effects of learning mechanisms... The organism cannot allow itself to pay a price which is not worth  paying".
Konrad Lorenz 
 "A closer examination shows that these beings... not only do not damage each other, but often constitute a community of interests.
Konrad Lorenz 
 It is obvious that the predator is strongly interested in the survival of that species, animal or vegetable, which constitutes its prey. ...
Konrad Lorenz 
 It is not uncommon that the prey species derives specific benefits from its interaction with the predator species...".
Konrad Lorenz 
 This is because humans are the only species that can change its own environment: "[The pace of human ecology] is determined by the progress of man's technology".
Konrad Lorenz 
 Not only that, but human ecology (economy) is governed by mechanisms of positive feedback, defined as a mechanism which tends to encourage behavior rather than to discourage it.
Konrad Lorenz 
 Positive feedback always involves the danger of an 'avalanche' effect... One particular kind of positive feedback occurs when individuals of the same species enter into competition among themselves... For many animal species, environmental factors keep... intraspecies selection from [leading to] disaster... But there is no force which exercises this type of healthy regulatory effect on humanity's cultural development; unfortunately for itself, humanity has learned to overcome all those environmental forces which are external to itself".
Konrad Lorenz 
 Indeed, he states that  "a completely new [ecology] which corresponds in every way to [humanity's] desires... could, theoretically, prove as durable as that which would have existed without his intervention" p36.
Konrad Lorenz 
 "The competition between human beings destroys with cold and diabolic brutality... Under the pressure of this competitive fury we have not only forgotten what is useful to humanity as a whole, but even that which is good and advantageous to the individual. [...]
Konrad Lorenz 
 One asks, which is more damaging to modern humanity: the thirst for money or consuming haste... in either case, fear plays a very important role: the fear of being overtaken by one's competitors, the fear of becoming poor, the fear of making wrong decisions or the fear of not being up to snuff...".
Konrad Lorenz 
 In this book, Lorenz proposes that the best hope for mankind lies in our looking for mates based on the kindness of their hearts rather than good looks or wealth.
Konrad Lorenz 
 In his 1973 book Behind the Mirror: a search for a natural history of human knowledge, Lorenz considers an old philosophical question: Do our senses actually tell us about the world as it is?
Konrad Lorenz 
 Anything that does not benefit a species is quickly removed through the process of natural selection.
Konrad Lorenz 
 Lorenz argued that if our senses gave us wrong information about our environment, humanity would soon be extinct.
Konrad Lorenz 
 Therefore we can be sure that our senses give us correct information, for otherwise we would not be here to be deceived.
Konrad Lorenz 
 Lorenz's best-known books are King Solomon's Ring and On aggression, both written for a popular audience.
Konrad Lorenz 
 His scientific work appeared mainly in journal articles, written in German; they became widely known to English-speaking scientists through the descriptions of it in Tinbergen's 1951 book The study of instinct, though many of his papers were later published in English translation in the two volumes titled Studies in animal and human behaviour.

Dalmatian Italians 
 Dalmatian Italians are Italians whose family comes from Dalmatia in today's Croatia, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Dalmatian Italians 
 Dalmatian Italians are one of the historical ethnic groups of Dalmatia (in today's Republics of Croatia and Montenegro).
Dalmatian Italians 
 They are direct descendants of the autochthonous population of the romanised Illyrians in present Dalmatia, since the Middle Ages when they lived in the Dalmatian City-states and surrounding islands.
Dalmatian Italians 
 After the 1840s their ethnic group suffered from a constant trend of decreasing presence and now numbers only around 1,000 people.
Dalmatian Italians 
 This group, though small in numbers, exerted an unproportionally significant and noteworthy influence on the region in the last centuries.
Dalmatian Italians 
 Indeed the Dalmatian Italians were a fundamental presence in Dalmatia, when the process of political unification of the Italians, Croats and Serbs started at the beginning of the 19th century.
Dalmatian Italians 
 The 1816 Austro-Hungarian census registered 66,000 Italian speaking people between the 301,000 inhabitants of Dalmatia, or 22% of the total dalmatian population.
Dalmatian Italians 
 They are currently represented in Croatia and Montenegro by the Italian National Community () (CNI).
Dalmatian Italians 
 The Italo-Croatian minorities treaty recognizes the Italian Union (Unione Italiana) as the political party officially representing the CNI in Croatia.
Dalmatian Italians 
 The number of Dalmatian Italians in that country has fallen to 300, and the Italian Union concentrates on the Istrian region, including the city of Fiume (actual Rijeka), which is home to the vast majority of the Croatian Italian national minority numbering around 30,000 citizens.
Dalmatian Italians 
 In Dalmatia the most important centres of the CNI are in Zara (actual Zadar), Spalato and Cattaro (Montenegro).
Dalmatian Italians 
 Many Dalmatian Italians tried to unite their cities (like Spalato) to the Kingdom of Italy after the end of WWI: the Incidents in Spalato were the most famous event related to their struggle.
Dalmatian Italians 
 Some Dalmatian Italians, mostly living in Zara (actual Zadar), entered in the Italian government after WWI and promoted the conquest of coastal Dalmatia by Italian troops in 1941.
Dalmatian Italians 
 Most of coastal Dalmatia was united to the Kingdom of Italy from April 1941 to September 1943, when were created the Provincia di Spalato and the Provincia di Cattaro while was enlargerd the Provincia di Zara.
Dalmatian Italians 
 After WWII nearly all the 25.000 remaining Dalmatian Italians of Zara and the Italian "Governatorato di Dalmazia" were forced to leave Dalmatia during the Istrian-Dalmatian exodus.
Dalmatian Italians 
 Nowadays one of the principal problems for the exiled is the prohibition to buy houses in Croatia for Italian people not resident in Croatia (and, of course, their request of payment for their properties lost in Dalmatia when forced to exile).
Dalmatian Italians 
 The most popular periodical for Dalmatian Italians is Il Dalmata, published in Trieste by Renzo de' Vidovich.
Chukar 
 The chukar (Alectoris chukar) is a Eurasian upland gamebird in the pheasant family Phasianidae of the order Galliformes, gallinaceous birds.

Chukar 
 This partridge has its native range in Asia from Pakistan and Kashmir, and Afghanistan in the east to southeastern Europe in the west, and is closely related and similar to its western equivalent, the Red-legged Partridge, Alectoris rufa.
Chukar 
 It has been introduced widely, and became established in the United States, Canada, New Zealand and Hawaii.
Chukar 
 In Great Britain, hybrids between this species and the also introduced Red-legged Partridge are common.
The Matrix Reloaded 
 The machines have taken over everywhere except for the city of Zion, which is buried four kilometers below the surface.
The Matrix Reloaded 
 In this world, the machines have created the Matrix, which looks like the real world but it is a trick.
The Matrix Reloaded 
 Another group, led by Commander Jason Lock, believes that the prophecy does not make sense and try to defend Zion with ships and humans.
The Matrix Reloaded 
 He and hundreds of these clones try to defeat Neo, but they are not very powerful and Neo beats them.
The Matrix Reloaded 
 As Bane, Smith tries to kill Neo, but another human named the Kid accidentally stops that from happening when he comes to say goodbye to Neo.
The Matrix Reloaded 
 They hope to trigger their EMPs all at once to stop the machines (the EMP kills all electronics within their radius).
The Matrix Reloaded 
 Smith/Bane, on one of these ships, triggers the EMP before they are supposed to and ruins the attack.
The Matrix Reloaded 
 The machines, which just beat back the surprise attack, attack one of the ships and the power comes back on.
The Matrix Reloaded 
 It made $91 million in its first weekend at the box office, beating out the $50 million record set by Hannibal (2001) for an R-rated movie.
The Matrix Reloaded 
 Its final total of $281 million in the United States was the highest ever for an R-rated movie until The Passion of the Christ (2004) beat it with $370 million.

Artificial turf 
 Artificial turf, or synthetic turf, is a man-made (something made by humans) surface made from synthetic materials, made to look like natural grass.
Artificial turf 
 The main advantage of artificial turf is low cost of maintenance as there is no need to water it and trim it.
Artificial turf 
 Artificial turf is extremely popular in sporting industry - especially in US and regions where weather or heavy use makes it difficult to sustain high quality live turf.
Artificial turf 
 Artificial grass was first used in 1966 when it was installed in the Houston Astrodome, the world’s first domed indoor multipurpose sports stadium.
Artificial turf 
 By the second half of the season the field conditions were so bad that they installed artificial grass, called "Astroturf".
Artificial turf 
 There are several environmental concerns associated with artificial turf including loss of wildlife habitat, contaminated runoff, and migration of synthetic materials.
Artificial turf 
 Contaminants that are harmful to aquatic life, such as zinc, have been found in storm water runoff from artificial turf.
Artificial turf 
 Both infill particles and broken synthetic grass fibers can migrate away from yards or playing fields, contributing to microplastic pollution.
