The Chinchilla is by far one of my favorite pets. I have two of them at home and love them to pieces. The Chinchilla originates from South America in the Andes mountain region near Chili. There they were valued for their soft, sleek fur, which is why they almost became extinct. It has a very soft texture which feels great on clothing and was used for both large coats to small hats. During the late 16th century they became a hot item in the fur...more
Musical history Formation and early years (19811984)Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe met in an electronics shop on Kings Road in Chelsea, London in August 1981. Recognising a mutual interest in dance music, they began to work on material together, first in Tennant's flat in Chelsea and from 1982, in a small studio, in Camden Town.

As most of us already know, it is important to consume a healthy diet and exercise regularly to remain physically well. Unfortunately, this formula is easier said than done. It might not be helpful in achieving the lean and fit physique you have always dreamed of. Some people on a diet are not able to lose even an ounce, no matter how religiously they follow their routine. Some people resort to strict weight loss methods like crash dieting and weight management programs, which promise them quick and rapid weight loss within a few weeks. Taking diet pills is yet another popular method of weight loss used by people. Most of these pills are nothing but appetite suppressants. They help you cut down your food intake. How do appetite suppressants work?A thorough understanding of various chemical processes, starting from neuro-chemicals is needed, to know how appetite depressants work.

Almost every pet owner will be faced with this problem at some time or other. Pet, friend is ill, perhaps quite ill, and owners are not sure if it is better to end the suffering, or if the pet can continue and have a reasonable quality of life for some time to come. Pets are an extension of the family. Having to make the decision to end a pet's life is never easy, and rarely has a clear cut answer. This is a subject that we would rather not think about, because it is invariably painful to our hearts and minds. It is an intensely personal decision to euthanize ("put to sleep") a beloved pet. Various factors need to be considered. Whether the pet is young or old, illnesses or injuries may often make their lives difficult. Analyzing a few questions like is there a better than 50% estimate that the pet will recover? Is the cost of the initial treatment is within budget? Is the cost of the monthly treatment is within budget? Is the time my pet may live after treatment starts seems reasonable and makes sense for the cost of treatment? If these questions come up with a Yes as the answer then it is NOT the time.A pet that has been diagnosed with a terminal illness may present different...more
