Cyprus, especially Nissi Beach, is known for its Irish pubs, English Fish & Chips and nightlife. If this is your thing, then fine. However, if this isn’t your thing, don’t let these pictures put you off! You will only have to make a little effort to avoid the crowds, but it will be worth it! Let me show you how!

South Cyprus, especially Nissi Beach in Agia Napa, has a reputation of being only for young people and people who want to have fun. Yes, the bars are there and the main beaches will be full in August. However, you can easily avoid them by taking a short drive or bike ride to visit the small coves and beaches that line this cobalt-blue coastline. There is now a good public transport system in Agia Napa.

If you are looking for a bit of solitude, rent a scooter and visit Cape Greco or Konnos. Swimming is good as the water is idyllic in these areas. Konnos is the best of all, with a Caribbean sea, white sand and fantastic swimming. There are numerous other beaches dotted along the coast that you can visit. Having your own transportation will be the best way to discover this island and it will feel like a luxury getaway to the Caribbean and the like!

However, the big advantage is that you don’t need to fly ten hours to Mauritius or Seychelles to soak up the sun and enjoy the white sand beaches. Cyprus has half the flight time and you can have the same. White sand beaches with all water sports, water skiing, swimming with dolphins, sailing and surfing. Other benefits are the wonderful Mediterranean diet, waking up in the mountains, looking at ancient monasteries and soaking up an ancient civilization, it’s all there to explore and enjoy!

Alternatively, you can also stay inside a resort if you prefer. The newly completed Nissi Elena Court has many vacation apartments to choose from. Here you will enjoy a large cobalt blue tiled swimming pool, a new but spacious Mediterranean garden with small palm trees and your own terrace with your choice of apartment. There’s no need to leave the resort other than to buy food, and with shopping practically on your doorstep, it won’t be a hassle.

The furnishings in these apartments are of a high standard. They are all equipped with marble effect floors, air conditioning in every room and all the comforts you would expect. Apartments that contrast light floors with dark leather sofas and furniture give a luxurious East Bali feel and work well. You can sip your drink on the top floor terrace and look out over the surrounding garden area and the expansive sea views beyond, giving you privacy and comfort. After you have checked out the rooms with their huge bed covered in white sheets, you can have your first drink, especially if you were well organized and bought them on the way.

These amazing apartments are ideally located; five minutes walk from the sea. It has the great advantage of being away from the main street, but has the convenience of having everything you need close by. They are furnished to a 5 star standard and are not your usual holiday accommodation. The owners want guests to feel the comfort of this 5-star accommodation while on vacation and enjoy all that this resort has to offer. The terraces are large and can accommodate four to six people, patio doors open directly from the master bedroom and lounge, so whether it’s fresh coffee in the morning or alfresco dining in the the night, the terrace is fabulous. All apartments are equipped with air conditioning, which will keep you cool during those high temperatures. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. Within a 5-10 minute walk you will find excellent tavernas, restaurants and supermarkets. There is also a 24-hour bakery serving delicious breads and sweets! A flexible sleeping layout means couples, families and small groups alike can be accommodated.

While we are talking about finding your ideal accommodation, it is important to note that you need to book your accommodation in advance. Especially if you want to have your vacation between mid-July and mid-August; otherwise, you may find yourself without a bed. I advise you to ask the owners as many questions as you can to make sure you are clear on locations, sizes and sleeping arrangements. Having an apartment is still the best option. You’ll have space, dictate your own schedule, and best of all, save money for activities instead of spending it on a hotel room. Since everyone has different needs, it is important to explain the advantages or disadvantages of each. However, opinions differ and what is an advantage for one guest may be a disadvantage for another.

Also, if lying on the beach all day is not your thing, you don’t have to! You won’t be bored, I promise! You will find the old and the romantic on this island. Old Harbors can be found along the coast, where you’ll enjoy the quayside taverns selling a colorful mix of fish. Cyprus has about 200 species, including parrotfish, red and gray mullet, swordfish, sharks, and rays. Fish can be an expensive option in restaurants, although you can’t miss it and you must try a fish maze just once!

You can also find cool and cozy places in the monasteries during the hot midday sun, and Agia Napa has its own Monastery to gaze at or just enjoy its fountain and fresh air in the courtyard. For people who really want to cool off, the best place is the Trodos massif. A popular getaway spot in the summer for natives. Here you will have the opportunity to try simple local dishes and soak up the atmosphere. One of the most prominent is Vouni, a virgin village, partly deserted, and located in an area with a long wine tradition. The stone houses have smooth red tiled roofs and yellowish-brown masonry showing age, stacked on top of each other. They look like a Cézanne painting in their glorious yellow light at sunset. The view is enormous from this high point and you may be surprised to admit that it is not the Cyprus that the brochures advertise. This area is listed as one of the most impressive on the island. Welcome to the real Cyprus!

Betta fish or Siamese fighting fish are very popular pets. Not only are they beautiful with their long tails, but they also have great personalities. Bettas are often referred to as “scaly cats and dogs” underwater. Although they have a great personality, they tend to be aggressive towards other bettas (both male and female) so they often live alone. In some cases, they may be suitable for tankmates. Still, the success of this situation mostly depends on the temperament of the betta, the size of the tank, and other factors as well. If you are interested in becoming a betta fish breeder and often ask how to care for betta fish, there are certain things you need to know to prolong the life of your betta fish and keep it healthy and happy. So, here is your guide on how to care for betta fish:

How To Take Care Of Betta: Set Up Your Tank Correctly

If you really want to successfully care for a betta, you need to take some time to set up your betta’s aquarium. For example, your fish needs a lot of room to move around. For this, you will need at least a 3-gallon fish tank, preferably larger. Whichever tank you choose, it should have a filter and adjustable heater. Be sure to choose one based on the exact size of your tank so your fish don’t overheat. The recommended temperature for bettas is 78 degrees to 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

• Be sure to properly cycle your new tank so your aquarium has a healthy filtration system whose job it is to establish a colony of healthy bacteria that removes toxic waste. Cycling your tank ensures that your fish stay healthy.

• Use dechlorinated water and do a 25% water change every week and a full water change once a month. During the total water change, you will need to remove the fish and clean any gravel, sand or substrate with a siphon.

• Choose the right location for your aquarium. Your fish tank should be kept in an area where your fish are not isolated and can interact with you. Bettas are very intelligent and seem to recognize their pet owners. When choosing a location for your tank, make sure it is free from cold drafts or excessive heat. For example, you should never place your tank near a window or too close to a radiator, as your fish can get too hot or too cold. Also, direct sunlight can cause an algae overgrowth problem. Of course, if you have an algae-eating tankmate for your betta, then this won’t be a problem, and you’ll probably want some algae growth to feed your algae eater.

• Place your betta’s tank on a flat, stable surface that won’t shift from its location. You may even want to keep your fish on your desk or a table against the wall. Either way, find a spot that won’t be easily pushed around.

How To Care For Betta Fish: Choose A Safe Tank Decor

Provide adequate and safe decoration. Sometimes your fish may prefer to hide. Therefore, you should provide a wide variety of silk or live plants. You can also offer caves and other hiding places. Whatever decoration you choose, make sure it is safe for sensitive purposes. One way to test this is to run a pair of pantyhose over the decoration, and if the pantyhose rips, it’s too rough for your fish.

How To Care For Betta Fish – Implement Proper Feeding Strategies

Bettas tend to overeat, and this can cause weight gain, constipation, obstruction, bloating, and even death. Therefore, it is essential that you do the following:

• Give your betta the correct amount of food: Your betta should only eat as much food as his eyeball. That is, 3-4 granules or 1-2 words of blood are usually enough. You should also feed your fish one or two pellets or live foods at a time. This will ensure that he eats it and that too much food doesn’t sink to the bottom of the tank before he can grab it. If you don’t consume the given food within 5 minutes, take it out so as not to contaminate the water in your tank.

Feed your betta regularly: Feed your fish every day. Some people skip a day and most feed small amounts twice a day. If you need to go on vacation, stay away from weekend feeders as they can contaminate the water and cause bacterial growth and fin rot. Instead, have someone you trust come and feed your fish every day or every other day. Make sure they don’t overfeed your fish while you’re away.

• Vary Choosing Your Betta’s Foods: Just like you, bettas don’t like to eat the same kind of food every day. Therefore, you should offer a variety of foods to make it enjoyable. Some great options are premium granules or frozen flakes. live or dried bloodworms, fruit fly larvae or wingless fruit flies, and brine shrimp.

In conclusion, hopefully, you can stop looking for how to care for betta fish and go out and get one, either by adopting or purchasing one. However, to keep your fish healthy and happy, you must follow the tips mentioned above. Good luck with your new scaly betta fish friend.

Many women who are in a relationship tend to give too much to their partner. Often too late, they realize that their romantic partner is not afraid of losing them. No, it’s not. If your guy isn’t afraid of losing you, you should sit back and ask yourself why. The quick and easy answer to this is because they are not afraid that you will ever leave them. You’ve made it easy for them. After all, they’ve seen you put up with their countless nonsense, bad behavior and bad manners, so what’s going to hurt you one more time? It’s you who gets hurt, not him. So why should he stop for fear of losing you? Since you haven’t left yet, he doubts you ever will. When you make abnormal behavior acceptable in a relationship, it becomes the norm in your relationship. This is the quickest, quickest, and easiest route to a dysfunctional relationship.

If you want him to be afraid of losing you, you’ll have to stand up for yourself. No one is afraid of a weakling. A strong and empowered woman knows that she has to back up her words (or ultimatum) with actions and punish her with actions. If you don’t mean it, she won’t believe you. If he knows that you are afraid of losing him, no matter what he does to you, how can you expect him to be afraid of losing you? When you show him that you will stay with him, compromising your own respect, dignity, and happiness, why should he be afraid of losing you? It shouldn’t and it won’t!

You want him, or any other man you date or have a relationship with, to have a natural and normal fear that if he makes a serious mistake, he will lose you. But for that to happen, the first time he screws up that much you have to end things, end them in a believable way, even if you’re just making a point and expecting him to apologize. If it’s not believable, fear goes out the window and you’re scary as a puppy. Think of all the things we fear. Are we afraid of these things because they will make us lose something, hurt us, or kill us? That’s where most fears come from, fear of death, loss or pain, right? If you are the only one who feels pain or loss, why should you expect him to be afraid? Do you think he will be afraid of your tears, your pain or your broken heart? He won’t!

A good place to start working on healthy fears in a relationship is to first examine your own fears. If your fear of losing him is so great that you tolerate his bad behavior without taking a stand, you will never achieve proper balance or mutual respect in the relationship. If you are afraid of risking losing a relationship that is not working, you need to realize why you allow yourself to stay in a relationship where you are not valued or respected. Remember, once they lose respect for you, their feelings will change anyway, it’s only a matter of time. Why? Because you can’t really love what you don’t respect. By tolerating intolerable behavior, you may hold it back longer. But expect the abuse to continue, or get worse, because you’ve taught him that he can do terrible things to you and he won’t lose you. Don’t expect him to feel too guilty either. If his hurt feelings aren’t enough for you to put him first, you can’t expect him to put his feelings first either.

If you want him to be afraid of losing you because he won’t tell you how he feels, then stop telling him your feelings as a first step. If you want him to be afraid of losing you because he doesn’t have time for you, stop spending time with him. If he hasn’t committed to you yet, then certainly don’t act or behave as if you are already committed to him. If you want him to be afraid of losing you if he cheats on you, then if he does, end the relationship immediately and stay quiet for a while. If you want him to be afraid of losing you, then you need to act as if he is losing you when he does things that you find unacceptable.

If the man you love disappears from you out of the blue and then reappears in your life out of the blue, you need to realize that there is a good chance that he will because you showed him that he can and that he can get away with it. . He is not afraid of losing you because he has done it many times and you never moved, found someone else or rejected him. Sure, you may have criticized him for it, but he’s not afraid of your words. He will only be afraid that you will move on or reject him when he comes back. Have you done any of those things? If he hasn’t done it, he’s not shocked that he’s done it over and over again. You have to see how he is not afraid of losing you. Every time you let it happen, you showed him that he can do it again and that he should be afraid of losing you when he does. So your options are to find the courage to face this situation head-on or accept the fact that he will never be afraid of losing you.

It is time to accept certain facts. If you really believe that he can change and that he loves you, then it’s time to put your foot down. If he really can’t change, why keep waiting for a change that may never come? Most people only change when they have to, so shouldn’t you make him HAVE TO? If you’re holding on because you think he doesn’t love you enough to change or doesn’t have it in him, then what are you doing with him anyway? How long should you be unhappy before you realize that being in this relationship makes you unhappy? Do you deserve happiness, either with it or without it? If being with him makes you totally miserable, it’s time you faced your fears of losing him!

Why should you let your fear drive you? Why are you so afraid to demand respect? Why are you afraid to tell him how you want him to treat you? Are you like this with everyone in your life or just with him? If it’s just with him, then you have to wonder why you changed for the worse for someone who treats you worse than anyone else in your life. Why would you want to be with someone who doesn’t bring out the best in you and instead brings out the worst in you? Until you are strong enough to admit that you can lose him, you will only continue to lose yourself to the point where you no longer recognize the woman you have become.

Not all men will fear losing you. Many men withdraw and mistreat women as a way to get rid of them. The problem is that many women just won’t let go and instead hold on tighter than ever. Sometimes we just aren’t valued by the people we love the most, but either way, don’t you want to know the truth or do you just want to waste more and more time living in fantasy land? Just because you believe in fairy tales or miracles doesn’t mean they come true for you.

Keep in mind that standing your ground and creating and enforcing healthy boundaries doesn’t guarantee that he’ll step up. Every relationship is unique, and he may just not be afraid of losing you because he doesn’t care about you or loves you enough to do the right thing. They may enjoy the unhealthy dysfunctional relationship you have and resist any change. We can tell him if he’s going to regret losing it and step up or if he’s going to let it go and find someone else to treat like crap. What you do with that information is entirely up to you.

Fear can keep us from taking the person we love for granted, from stepping out of line, or from doing anything to risk losing the person we love. If only one person in a relationship has that fear, the relationship will always be one-sided. It will never grow, mature or last. It’s time to face your fear of losing a relationship that’s going nowhere. It’s time to create a little fear for the person you love, or it’s just time to let it go and move on to something better.

If he doesn’t value you, or the relationship he shares with you, how can you value yourself? you can’t you won’t Because if you did, you would walk away from this idiot who places so little value on you… So why do you keep valuing the relationship? Why are you so afraid to let it go? It won’t bother him if you let him go anyway, so why are you still holding on to him?

It all boils down to a little bit of fear in a relationship is healthy for the relationship. When both parties have a natural fear of losing out, they respect the relationship and respect each other. When you are the only one in the relationship who is afraid, the fear grows, and so does the neglect and abuse. There is a chance to bring healthy fear back into your relationship before it is too late. You owe it to yourself to find out if it’s really possible and how to improve your relationship.

The popular image of safari, especially in the West, is inseparable from Kenya. At the turn of the last century, talented writers like Ernest Hemingway and Karen Blixen brought to life the vivid imagery and uplifting life experience that is a safari in Kenya. It is at this time that major celebrities of the day such as Teddy Roosevelt and Prince Edward traveled to Kenya on safari. And so the safari gained a certain snobbish appeal. Celebrities went because it was expected of them. And those who were on their way because the safari was part of the certification they needed on the way. If you want a glimpse into the mood and character of the players at the time, read Hemingway’s intriguing short story “The Brief Happy Life of Francis Macomber.”

Nowadays, however, a safari in Kenya is accessible to many more people. Despite competition from other destinations, Kenya remains at the heart of the African safari experience. The magnificence and diversity of wildlife and scenery is second to none. You are guaranteed to check off the entire list of the big five: lion, buffalo, leopard, rhino, and elephant. Other lesser known but essential and collegiate members of the savannah ecosystem also abound. The kaleidoscope of landscape unfurls the magnificent Rift Valley, central highlands, savannah grasslands, snow-capped Mount Kenya, and the desolate lunar landscape of the north. Perhaps that is why experts advise all those faithful lovers of wildlife and nature that at least once in their life they should participate in a safari in Kenya.

Kenya has more than 50 national parks and game reserves where wildlife is protected. But as you already suspect, on an average safari you can’t expect to cover them all. So it’s good that you get good value by visiting just a few of them. This is unless of course you have plenty of time and can afford to go off the beaten path. The most popular and the ones to choose from for those with limited time and budget are: Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Aberdares, Samburu and Tsavo. Best in the off the beaten track category for wildlife or back-to-nature activities are: Kakamega Forest, Marsabit, Meru, Mount Kenya, Mount Elgon, and Shimba Hills.

Maasai Mara is the big one. This is where you should go even when two nights is all you can spend. This is mainly where all those wildlife videos in Kenya are shot. The Mara, as the Maasai Mara Game Reserve is commonly known, is part of the ecosystem that includes Tanzania’s equally famous Serengeti. Covering 320 square kilometers, it is nestled in the southwestern corner of the country. The Mara offers wildlife in such variety and abundance that it is hard to believe. On a two-night visit, I saw lions, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, giraffes, wildebeests, zebras, buffalo, warthogs, hyenas, jackals, wild dogs, buffalo, leopards, nine types of antelope, and elephants. Birds also abound: secretary birds, cranes, storks, vultures and ostriches.

It is in Mara that perhaps the most spectacular event in the natural world takes place. I am referring to the annual migration of millions of wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti in search of water and grazing. The chronology of the phenomena is conditioned by the rains and occurs between June and August. The reverse trip is usually done in October. Migration or not, the Mara has a large number of resident animals and you are sure to have a good wildlife viewing experience whatever time of year you visit. If you have sufficient funds, consider taking a balloon ride over the reserve. This popular and thoroughly memorable ride usually begins before sunrise and includes a champagne breakfast. The Mara is 5 hours from Nairobi by road and 45 minutes by plane.

Amboseli National Park sits on the lower slopes of mighty Kilimanjaro, whose peak lies just across the border from Tanzania. It is quite an experience to see Kilimanjaro floating above the clouds in the early morning. As the photography buff can already imagine, the mountain provides a spectacular backdrop for animal photographs. Amboseli is famous for its huge herds of elephants. You will also see buffalo, black rhino, zebra, wildebeest and other simple animals. Lions and other cats can be seen, but they are less common here than in Mara. The park is 3 hours from Nairobi by road and can be reached via Namanga, the border post between Kenya and Tanzania.

Lake Nakuru’s claim to fame rests on its flamingos and the more than 400 species of birds found here. The lake itself is a soda lake on the floor of the Rift Valley. The sight of the sometimes millions of flamingos is quite spectacular. From a distance, the lake appears surrounded by pink. Lake Nakuru is also home to a sanctuary for the endangered black and white rhino. Lions, Rothschild’s giraffes, buffalo and baboons are all residents here. The park is the most accessible of the larger parks in Kenya and is only two hours from Nairobi by road.

The same distance from Nairobi as Lake Nakuru is the Aberdares National Park. The park has a diverse topography that includes waterfalls, rainforests and the rivers that supply water to millions of Nairobi’s residents. The flora and fauna are unique and are not found anywhere else in the country except Mount Kenya. Leopard, elephant, rhino and the rare bongo can be found here. But dense vegetation and inclement weather make spotting animals difficult. However, you are guaranteed to see some animals, especially elephants and buffalo, at the illuminated waterholes of the two famous treetop hotels, The Ark and Treetops.

Those who have studied the history of the British royal family will remember that it was at Treetops in 1952 that the then-Princess Elizabeth was staying for her honeymoon when her father, King George VI, died. She descended from the Treetops to take on the grueling role of presiding over the remote domains and colonies of the empire. If you stay in Treetops, you will surely meet some of her fans.

Although not as famous as Mara, Samburu National Park is another wildlife refuge. Here you will see lions, elephants, cheetahs and the elusive leopard. Some animals are unique to this northern park: Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, kudu and gerenuk. You will find the semi-arid landscape quite dramatic. On your trip to Samburu, you may also want to visit the nearby Shaba and Buffalo Springs Game Reserves. Also, this is the place to go on a camel safari. Samburu is three hours from Nairobi by road.

Tsavo is so big, all 20,000 square kilometres, that it is managed as two units: Tsavo West and Tsavo East. This is the closest park to Mombasa on the coast. The park is three and a half hours from Nairobi by road. You will find large herds of elephants, especially in Tsavo East. Tsavo West is full of crocodiles, vervet monkeys, antelopes, baboons, giraffes and hippos. It is in Tsavo that poachers were most successful in their bloody racket and this saw a dramatic drop in the elephant population. The good guys have taken the lead in recent years and the numbers are picking up.

But the Kenyan authorities are still very suspicious of the future of the elephant in Tsavo. The country is very active in seeking a permanent ban on the international trade in ivory. I wish at this point to declare to everyone that I am a great admirer of the African elephant. I think this is the real king of the jungle and not that overrated pretender, the lion. You may remember from the movie “The Man Eaters of Tsavo” how the cowardly lions disrupted the construction of the railway in the Tsavo area by feeding on the labor. Would true royalty be involved in such a disgraceful affair?

Kenya is a year-round safari destination. The rains come around April-May and November-December. However, this does not greatly affect the ability of travelers to get around. This is except for the heavily forested Aberdares. In the rainy season the roads in Aberdares are extremely slippery and the park is sometimes closed. Generally, the best time to go on safari is during the drier months, when the grass is short and it is much easier to spot animals. But in areas like Mara, animals are so abundant that you will see plenty of them no matter what the season. The peak tourist season falls around January to February and July to August. April to June is the low season and hostel accommodation prices can be up to 40% lower than in high season.

Accommodation on a safari varies from basic camps to luxury lodges and tent camps. Up in the bush, you’ll be pleasantly surprised that all the trappings of 5-star accommodations are available. But if you want to have a rough time, you will find campsites in almost all game reserves and national parks. Information on Kenyan hotel, lodge and resort accommodation options is available online.

Generally, it is recommended to take a guided Kenya safari tour package that includes transportation, park fees, and accommodation. The reason for this is that tour guides are often knowledgeable about the animals, where to find them and how to get there, and have other useful local knowledge. Take a look at some offers of various durations and budgets.

But if you have plenty of time and need more freedom to get around, rent a car in Nairobi or Mombasa. For car rental in Kenya, you can choose between self-drive and chauffeur-driven vehicles. On safari, wear light cotton and linen garments. Warmer clothing is needed for the evenings and for your early morning game drive. Some waterproof clothing is recommended between March and June and October and December.

You should bring a hundred pairs of sunglasses. The glow you experience in bright tropical light is a new and uncomfortable experience for most. It’s also a good idea to bring a pair of binoculars. They are very useful for spotting animals and will earn you the envy of your less informed traveling companions.

The poem

In Santa Eulalia Rio

The Eulalia Rio -is wild today-

high white water, quickly

slapping, running, jumping in all directions

from bank to bank, and more.

In the foothills of the mountain-

the town of Santa Eulalia resides

embraced by the Andes of Peru!

I love the soft sound of the river.

while it passes me

the warm sun, warming my old bones

am,

makes me feel alive-

A butterfly flies by, a bee

is busy, buzzing nearby-

Another day, just another day

to be alive…

(So ​​it is this morning

in San Eulalia Rio).

No: 2919 ((26-03-2011) (11:11 a.m.))

The strange thing was that the morning had been so quiet and calm, unlike the afternoon; I don’t know why everyone didn’t scream at that moment. We were in the dance area of ​​’Paradise Recreo’, assimilated to a country restaurant, next to the Santa Eulalia River in Peru. (one hour away from Lima) (it was 11:11 am), all fifty-two of us, inside the group, and there were other people in this outside restaurant (We had all ordered Pachamanca, a plate of food, which is cooked over an underground fire, covered with earth and hot stones: potatoes, sweet potatoes, beans, chicken, pork, lamb, and humita or mashed corn).

We were all in the dance area, after having eaten Pachamanca, drunk a little wine, the sun was hot, and the River was high and the rapids were wild, running, you could hear the sound of the white water flowing, It wasn’t more than a hundred feet from where we were. There was a stage in front of us, a man was singing with music in the background, and no one started screaming.

Before the incident, Manuel instructed me to give the ax to someone in the group that was dancing around this tree that was in the middle of the dance area, they had cut it down and put it in a hole with stones holding it, gifts. they were tied to tree branches just like balloons, once cut the fifty of us would run to get those attached gifts, it was called the Dance of the Yunsa, it meant that each person in the group would get the ax one or two or maybe even five or six times like I had it, as one person passed it to the next and hit the tree. The one who cut the tree, that is, when the tree fell due to the thrust of that last person’s axis, he or she was the person who, the following year, would pay for the next party. This is how it worked.

Manuel pointed to me, the preacher’s deacon, you might say, and a friend, a very nice friend and a guy, to my wife and me, said with a smiling face, “You, Mr. Evens, take it and give it to someone!”

I couldn’t imagine who, so I saw a lady right in front of me, of Peruvian-African origin, and I handed it to her and her partner, and she struck the first blow.

Then later, when it looked like the tree would fall with one or two more ax blows, I said to my wife Rosa, “This man is dancing like crazy, swinging the ax in all directions, we have to back off!”

And sure enough, it hit the tree so hard that the tall, somewhat heavy tree with all the presents began to fall. This man had run up to the group out of nowhere, and someone out of the blue, handed him the axe, and when that tree hit the ground, he started stabbing, that is, hacking in the head, in the groin area, in the back, legs, torso, neck: eighteen people injured, killing at least seven. Restaurant workers and shortly after, rescuers from the Municipality had gathered to help the wounded.

“The worst,” the announcer said that night on television, “was the women with dead children.”

Oh yes, more rigorously, I told myself. You couldn’t get women to give up their dead children… from then on. Nothing you could do about it. Although the gender of the seven dead was not immediately known, with two seriously injured and eleven others wounded. Manuel told the police and the media:

“The suspect came here to kill people, none of us knew him.”

And another person told the reporter, “At first, he sat at our table and said, ‘I’m tired of life.'”

And still someone else said, “He had rented a car in Lima, drove fifty miles to the restaurant, and it looked like he had just taken the ax out of someone who was dancing, and he was jumping, jumping while dancing, and chopping down the tree.” all simultaneously, and the next thing he was killing people with that axe, and he ran out and into a crowd, jumped into a vehicle and drove off.”

Then there was an old woman, the most extraordinary case. I told the police, and they said it couldn’t be true, that I was lying, “There was this old lady,” I said, “sitting in a wheelchair, and I couldn’t help but look at her as he ran past her, and just then she died, I guess from fright; he had thrown the ax at her, but it never hit her, and she went absolutely rigid. Her legs stretched up automatically, her torso stiffened,” the officer said. of cop. the medical staff and they told me it was impossible. But the body had been moved out of the area, into the city proper, into her mortuary, before she could insist.

It was as if there had been an earthquake or something, a ghost, had appeared in broad daylight, one that we never knew, they never knew what hit them.

I had sat by the river that morning, at 11:11 am, waiting for the Pachamanca, to be ready, I ordered some cheese and corn for my wife, I wrote this poem called “Santa Eulalia Río”, The river was high, the wind was blowing my hair, I had seized the moment, you could say, a poetic moment truly. I got up and walked near the river, I saw a dog getting wet, drinking its fresh and cold water from the Andes, obviously it was raining in the mountains, because of the white water. I had become so dreamy about things. Amazing how a few hours later, everything is covered with something else; the darkest cloud that hell has to offer.

Air Oasis is an Amarillo TX company that offers the Air Oasis line of air purifier products. These purifiers have a modern aesthetic design and use Photocatalytic Oxidation (PCO) as the primary method of cleaning the air. The aesthetic design easily attracts many customers to these systems. They are great systems but the consumer needs to understand exactly what they are getting when they buy one of these systems. These air purifiers are not good options for all problems. They are valuable solutions in certain situations. These systems also use ionization with some of their PCO purifiers. These systems include residential and commercial models.

Air Oasis systems that combine ionization with PCO average between 53 cents and 62 cents per square foot of clean air per year. These air purifiers can cost between $16,024.20 and $18,605.83 to clean the air in a 3,000 square foot area for 10 years. Air Oasis models that use only PCO technology are priced much more manageably, ranging from 4.2 cents to 10.5 cents per square foot of clean air per year. These PCO models can cost between $1,274.38 and $3,163.14 to clean a 3,000 square foot area over 10 years. The PCO technology in these models is excellent at oxidizing certain types of chemical odors and gases and reducing bacteria in the environment. But it does not remove particles from the air. Air Oasis PCO models are good specialty purifier options, but not great all-around solutions. Models that include ionization try to fill the gap by providing a more complete solution, but unfortunately they are in the middle of the pack in terms of cost compared to other comparable products on the market.

Air Oasis offers a 3-year warranty on its PCO-only air purifiers and a one-year warranty on other models. This is part of the reason the other models cost more because we assume you’ll need to replace them more often. PCO purifiers are great specialty purifiers at a great price. If you’re looking for a strictly PCO solution to your problem, these air purifiers are great options. Because this air purifier takes a special approach, it will not be the solution for most allergy and asthma sufferers. There are a variety of options that are just as good and offer more complete solutions in one system.

Think you’re ready for some new chihuahua puppies? Well, think again. As a Chihuahua owner, before you let your female Chihuahua mate, think about the future consequences you will have to face. At the same time, learn some important steps for raising Chihuahuas, so you’re not left wondering what to do next.

First things first, before you let your chihuahua breed, make sure your chihuahua goes through selective breeding. If your chihuahua doesn’t do this, it can produce unhealthy puppies that suffer from numerous health ailments.

Like humans, diseases can be acquired by heredity.

Before proceeding with the breeding of Chihuahua. Take note of the following preparations:

First, you’ll need to set aside money for expensive health screenings. Then you have to pay stud fees. You will definitely need to set aside another sum of money for the delivery. If your girl is unable to give birth normally, she should prepare for an unexpected C-section.

When the puppies are born, you will have to prepare extra food at all times. And of course the puppies will need their shots too.

If you think that all this is going to be a hassle, it means that you are not ready for it.

These are just the initial steps.

If you really want your chihuahua to produce healthy puppies, always remember to spay her before breeding. This will also ensure that your chihuahua is safe and healthy after birth.

When giving birth, if you still have no idea what to do with the new puppies, go to the vet and consult him. The last thing you would do is endanger your harmless new puppies. Always accompany mom chihuahua while she gives birth and try to spend as much time as possible with the puppies, at least during the first weeks.

Weigh your puppies daily, and if you notice that they are not nursing, you should feed them every 2 hours. Sometimes if your mother chihuahua dies during childbirth then it is convenient to use the bottle to feed the litter.

As your puppies mature, this requires some training and discipline.

This is the period for you to start potty training or simply disciplining your puppies. One of the most important steps is getting your Chihuahuas socialized. Socialization will make your puppies more friendly and less likely to bark at strangers or hurt them.

As we know, Chihuahuas can get jealous easily. Therefore, tame and discipline them. Your chihuahuas will become endearing house pets.

Before your chihuahua starts breeding, ask yourself if you’re prepared to take charge when the new puppies arrive or when unexpected things happen, like your chihuahua dying during childbirth. Chihuahuas are very delicate creatures. Both the mother and the puppies deserve 100% of your attention.

So are you ready to breed?

When you have a pet cockatoo, you should be on the lookout for any signs of iodine deficiency in your little friend. If you’re anything like me, you’d do anything to keep him healthy and happy.

Goiter, or enlargement of the thyroid gland, shows an external swelling of the bird’s neck. The growth presses against the crop and the trachea internally. Any exertion like flying and running will make the little bird out of breath very quickly. Breathing will be very heavy, and the bird will fall to the ground with outstretched wings and a pendulum on its neck. It may also make a high-pitched screech or whistle with each breath. To help itself breathe more easily, the little bird often rests its beak against the bars of the cage or on a parallel tree branch or perch.

If you don’t do anything about this condition right away, your pet cockatoo will get worse. You may start walking in circles, which is an indication of brain infection. Sudden death may then follow, caused by suffocation, heart failure, or weakness due to insufficient food intake.

With these severe thyroid symptoms, the bird can be given a prescription for iodine glycerin. The proper mix for cockatiels is one part tincture of iodine to five parts glycerin. Alternatively, a mixture of nine parts paraffin oil to one part iodine and glycerin, administered by plastic dropper in one corner of the beak intermittently over a 3-day period, can usually work wonders. If symptoms persist, see your avian veterinarian immediately.

An iodine deficiency can occur when drinking water is deficient in iodine. This used to be very common in captive cockatoos, budgerigars (rosellas, Bourke’s and others), lovebirds and parakeets. These conditions typically no longer occur due to commercial iodine-treated cage litter.

You can make sure to give your beloved pet cockatiel small amounts of iodine in various items. They are contained in cuttlefish bones, sand from seashells, oyster shells, meat, milk, fish and eggs. Fishmeal and cod liver oil are rich in iodine, but wheat germ is not. A recipe for white bread soaked in milk is a good treatment to prevent goiter.

Dog training comes in many forms and is done differently by many different people. Here are 8 simple things you can do to get better results when training your dog.

#1. Vary your training pattern

The first tip is very simple. Change the time of day and the place where you train your dog and you will get better results. Your dog will respond positively to a change of scenery.

#two. Stay positive!

Training should be as fun as possible. Your dog will pick up new commands much more easily when he’s having fun. Go into training with a positive frame of mind and always use positive reinforcement to encourage desirable results.

#3. Perfect some exercises

Learn one or two tricks at a time and master them. Practice them in different places under different conditions and distractions. Once you’ve perfected one command, move on to learning another.

#4. Use body language to communicate

Talk less and move more. Dogs understand body language much more clearly than the spoken voice. Use body language along with spoken commands and you’ll see quick results.

#5. Take note of your dogs facial expressions

Dogs’ expressions can give us an idea of ​​exactly how they feel. Learn to take note of your dog’s position and facial expressions. A happy dog ​​will most likely be in a relaxed position with its mouth open.

#6. Always be consistent

Being consistent is extremely important when it comes to training a dog. Keep things as simple as possible. Use short commands and stick to them. Never use multiple commands for the same trick, this will only confuse your dog.

#7. Train Good Behavior, Don’t Punish Bad Behavior…

Many dog ​​trainers and dog owners unknowingly focus on punishing bad behavior instead of rewarding good behavior. Encourage good behavior by teaching your dog what you want him to do instead of focusing on what you don’t want him to do.

#8. Teach your dog like a professional dog trainer

One way to get your dog trained much more effectively is to use a training guide. Many different dog trainers have written books on how to best train your dog, some books are full of fluff while others are full of gems. Following a quality dog ​​training book will improve your relationship with your dog and improve your dog’s behavior.

We all get older, and aging can make life difficult, even for our beloved pets. Where would we be without our pets? They make us happy. They fill us with unbridled affection. They relieve our stress. So what can we do for them? What should we do for our pets as they age? What is the best way to care for our pets so that they have a long, full and meaningful life, with the greatest comfort that we can provide them?

Take my dog ​​Buddy for example; he is getting old. It is easy to take care of them when they are young. With a puppy, you feed the dog, paper train it, take it to the vet from time to time, spend some time with it, and that’s it. However, as your dog, or any pet, ages, he must take special care of them. Your dog goes from being your faithful companion to an affectionate member of the family who needs special care. You have to start choosing foods for them that are easy to chew as their teeth rot with age due to gum disease. You have to watch their diet to make sure they get the nutrition they need. You have to be careful with overfeeding, as excess weight affects your joints. Massaging your dog will help with joint stiffness and will also improve blood circulation. In short, you need to be an informed sitter if you want your senior dog to enjoy his golden years.

Here are some tips to help you extend the life of your trusted dog as he ages:

1. Weight control: Watch your dog’s weight. Everyone loves to give their pets treats and table scraps, but as they get older, their metabolism slows down. You have to be careful what you feed them. An overweight dog is a doomed dog, no matter how happy table scraps momentarily placate your dog. Weight causes joint pain and stress on the heart, so maintain a healthy diet for your pet.

2. Exercise: Exercise is beneficial for you and your dog, but don’t overdo it. Too much exercise can tax your dog, making him listless for days. Think of it this way, you could spend time with your grandma, going for walks, maybe even swimming in the pool with her, but would you expect her to chase a frisbee for an hour? No, her body couldn’t take it. An aging dog is the same as an aging person, they may have a desire to run and play and make you happy, and they may do it longer than they should if you let them. Watch the exercise you give your dog, too much or too little can be a bad thing!

3.Vitamins and Minerals: That’s right, just as a human needs vitamin and mineral supplementation as they age, so does your dog. Fish oil, for example, is great for the coat and skin, which becomes dull and dries out as your dog ages. Glucosamine and chondroitin can help your dog fight the effects of arthritis. Do some research and find out what minerals and vitamins your dog needs to live a long and healthy life.

We all love our pets; it’s up to us to take care of them. I don’t know what I would do without my aging dog. Buddy, he’s fourteen years old and he loves to drool all over my face. It’s his way of saying hello but yuck! The problem is that he has bad breath. It could turn fresh milk into cottage cheese in a second. I’ve seen it wither flowers in one fell swoop. Sometimes I wonder if he eats his own poop like breath mint. I guess you could say that Buddy has a high IQ, as he understands the difference between giving you his right paw and his left paw, but would take a few IQ points off if it was for eating poop. That’s not really a wise diet choice.

Sometimes it also hits you with both paws, especially when it wants to eat something. He is deaf, which makes me extremely sad, but he is an extraordinarily sweet and gentle dog, which makes me happy. He is the only dog ​​I know with sleep apnea. He always gives me that sad sack look when I eat something, so sometimes I end up sharing it with him, but I watch his weight and his diet. If he doesn’t snore, I get nervous because he stays so still. I have to reach out and shake it. Unfortunately, the arthritis is already beginning to affect his hips. He staggers when he walks. There are times when I feel terrible watching him move, he’s so slow from the arthritic pain. My chair is his favorite spot, and every day he seems to have a harder time jumping on it. For the short time that I stay with the old man, I want him to be as comfortable as possible. Here is the poem from him, and a poem for all the wonderful aging canines!

Wow, mommy and daddy dear

I love you very much…

When my hips get sore

They calm down with your loving touch…

every time i’m hungry

You make sure he’s well fed

When I spend the day sleeping, there is always

A toy and blankets on my bed.

So soft, warm and cuddly too.

It’s like I’m in heaven, believe me it’s true!

You know how much I like to sleep in your chair

But it’s so hard to jump, there’s too much pain to bear.

I walk with a wobble, like I’m wearing high heels,

My breath smells so bad it makes my milk freeze.

Sometimes you let me lick your hands and sometimes your face,

Even after licking me in every private place.

It’s hard getting old, I can’t even stand my own mess

So I wear that stupid diaper all the time, but it’s better than a dress!

So here we are, two best friends, the best there will ever be,

One thing is for sure, we will always have each other’s loyalty.

wow ‘friend
