Cheetah 2
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 374.... and of course, the fastest land animal in existence. I also found that it’s
habitat is in the grassy plains of Africa. This is definitely a great place for it to hide based on it’s coat color. It is because of this combination of tall grass and camouflage coat which allows the cheetah to stalk and catch
it’s prey. These usually consist of gazelles, wild boar, or pretty much any
animal it can handle. However, the regular range for it’s food is about 88
pounds. The cheetah then drags the meat to it’s “home”, away from prying animals, and feasts on it immediately.

The Element: Chlorine
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1163.... with many nonmetals such as sulfur, phosphorus, and other
halogens. Chlorine can support combustion; if a candle were to be thrown
into a vessel of chlorine, it would continue to burn, releasing dense,
black clouds of smoke, The chlorine combines with hydrogen of the
paraffin, forming hydrogen chloride, and uncombined carbon is left in
the form of soot. Soot is black residue from fuel. Chlorine replaces
iodine and bromine from their salts. Dry chlorine is somewhat inert or
not able to move, but moist chlorine unites directly with most of the
elements.

Salt Water Can Support An Electrical Current
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 904.... a certain amount will not dissolve, the solution is called saturated. For most substances, solubility increases with increasing temperature of the solvent. In general, molecules that are structurally similar to the molecules of the solvent have the highest solubility. When a solute is added to a solvent, several physical properties of the solvent change. Its boiling point rises and its freezing point lowers with increasing concentrations of solute.
Solutions are similar to other types of mixtures known as colloids and suspensions. Colloids are mixtures of tiny particles .....

Alzeimer
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 682.... suspect a patient of AD, ask him an attention question, like, “why people who lives in glasses houses shouldnt throw rocks.”
If he fails to answer, he might have Alzheimer disease and should be refered to a treatment.. There is 3 stages in AD. Mild: the patient might have trouble finding his words r forget familiar names. Moderate: he will be desoriented, paranoid and/or desoriented. He will also become urine-incontinent. And finally late: he will be innable to speak intelligibly, swallowing problems, and have some fecal incontinence.
Now, lets return to our initial question, .....

The Aftermath Of Hurricane Mitch
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 382.... and salvage their goods.
A muddy valley runs past the Central Prison, where some of the
incarcerated swam to freedom as Mitch's floodwaters rose and propelled them
over the walls. Hundreds of homes, streets, and businesses were washed away,
and those that remained standing found themselves anchored beneath several
feet of mud and debris.
In some places, the stench is overpowering. The smell from
intermingled garbage, rotting food, rancid floodwater, animal and -- very
possibly -- human corpses fills the air. Yet still people work near the
water, clean goods i .....

Devastation Of The Rain Forests
Number of pages: 7 | Number of words: 1653.... of existing medicines comes from tropical
plants whose homes are in the rainforests of South America. For every acre
that is lost in the burning season, there is one acre less that we have for
possible life saving medicines. About 70 percent of plants used in anti-
cancer drug come are the rain forest. We are slowly destroying the
environment and ourselves. Whether we realize it or not, the world could
quickly come to an ecological stop. Every day 144,000 acres of the
rainforests are cut down, slashed and/or put up in flames. In 1974,
Brazil started a forest fire of 20.6 .....

Down Syndrome 4
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1135.... the condition became "Down's syndrome." In the
1970s, an American revision of scientific terms changed it simply to "Down
syndrome," while it still is called "Down's" in Europe.
In the first part of the twentieth century, there was much speculation of
the cause of Down syndrome. The first people to speculate that it might be
due to chromosomal abnormalities were Waardenberg and Bleyer in the
1930s. But it wasn't until 1959 that Jerome Lejeune and Patricia Jacobs,
working independently, first determined the cause to be trisomy of the 21st
chromosome. Cases of Down .....

The Year 2000 Bug
Number of pages: 9 | Number of words: 2317.... This same amount of information storage can now cost around ten cents. Because of this expensive storage limitation code written for these older computers was compressed in any way possible. One way to cut down the size of code was to compress dates to a format only six characters long. So instead of April 14 1999 the date would be compressed to 4/14/99. At the time of this programming this seemed to be the best solution to the space saving dilemma. As we come closer to the millennium we see that this style of programming was a great overlook of programmers. As .....
