Peregrine Falcon
The Peregrine Falcon occurs on all continents except Antarctica. This wide distribution has resulted in it being well studied, and renowned for its incredible high-speed stoops that have been measured to exceed 240 km per hour. This species has evolved to hunt at high speed and its nostrils are shaped like the air-intakes of jet planes to enable it to breathe efficiently while in pursuit of its prey.
These falcons are relatively small, having a length of about 35 cm. However, the behaviour has resulted in great public appeal. The Peregrines feed mainly on birds, usually the size of doves, which they catch in flight or strike at great speed.
These falcons breed mainly on inaccessible cliffs but have adapted to man-made structures like tall buildings and disused quarries. A number of nest boxes have been placed on high-rise buildings around the Northern Suburbs and have successfully encouraged these scarce birds to breed.
As is the case with most raptors, the female is noticeably larger than the male. The nest is no more than a scrape in the sand in a pothole or on a sheltered ledge on a rocky cliff. Three to four eggs are laid and incubated by both sexes, with the female being responsible for the larger portion of this duty.
The heavily marked eggs hatch after about 30 days. The chicks, which initially are covered with white down feathers, have unusually large feet that are armed with sharp claws and use these fearsome weapons to defend themselves from potential predators. The youngsters fledge after 40 days and depend on their parents to develop their hunting techniques.
When you find yourself in the vicinity of the Tygerberg Hills, keep your eyes open for these fascinating birds that breed in and around the Tygerberg Nature reserve.
The Hadeda's raucous call is unmistakeable. Loud, harsh and usually catching you by surprise. Hadedas were not indigenous to strandveld or renosterveld of the South Western Cape. Man-made changes in the form of cultivated agricultural fields, irrigated sports grounds and alien trees for nesting have made the environment more suitable to these birds' requirements. This species moved into our area during the 1980's and is now widespread.
The diet of this bird consists of a variety of insects, spiders, earthworms, snails and frogs. Prey items are either taken from the surface or captured by probing into soft soil. After good rains, groups of these birds may be seen on waterlogged sports grounds or cultivated fields where they gorge on insects that have been displaced by the standing water.
The Hadeda is somewhat of an oddball when compared with its cousins in South Africa. It is noisy, conspicuous and does not nest in colonies.
Pairs build nests in tall trees, often above streams or dams. The nest platform is an untidy bowl of sticks in which 2 to 4 eggs may be laid. Both parents incubate the eggs, which take between 25 to 28 days to hatch. Once the fledglings are able to clamber about they will leave the nest and can be seen perched ungainly on adjacent branches. The youngsters will take their first flight about 35 days after hatching and then join their parents when they roost in groups after the breeding season.

John Brodie is a Guardian, a member of a secretive network devoted to winning a way very few even know exists: protecting the vulnerable psychics in his charge from a deadly, ruthless - and virtually invisible enemy.
Tasha Solomon is a gifted psychic whose abilities have saved her more than once from situations as dangerous as they are baffling. She doesn't believe she needs help and she doesn't even know that Guardians exist - until Brodie saves her life.
Unaccustomed to depending on anyone for anything, Tasha now finds herself embroiled in a deadly game where the ultimate goal is a fate far worse than any nightmare. Brodie is the only person she can trust to guide her through a maze of danger and deception, lies and treachery, friends and enemies, until they reach safe harbor.
IF they reach safe harbor.

Everyone loves to decorate for Halloween and who doesn't want to save some money. Shopping at thrift stores is a great way to re-purpose items to DIY and turn them into something new. I've complied a list of 10 Halloween decorations you can make from thrift store finds. All images are used from the listed sources.
1. Painted Wine Glasses – Source: http://www.brit.co/halloween-servingware/
Paint the outside of some wine glasses that you don't mind ruining. Put the wine glass upside down and start pouring a small amount of craft paint on the outside of the glass allowing it to drip down the sides. Don't forget to use the outside of the glass as you don't want to be drinking with your craft paint.
2. Bloody Towels for the Bathroom – Source: http://www.buzzfeed.com/peggy/last-minute-halloween-hacks
You know you don't want to be using your good guest towels for this project. Pick up some towels at a thrift store and add some hand prints using some fake blood. An easy and spooky decoration for the bathroom!
3. Cakestand turned skull holder – Source: http://jenniferciani.blogspot.ca/2012/09/new-fall-decor-projects-coming-soon.html
Shop the kitchen section of a thrift store to find some cake stands or other glass display items. A cake stand like this could hold a number of Halloween themed items from skulls, pumpkins, spiders/snakes, or you could even use one in attempts to hide Halloween candy.
4. Wrapping paper covered light switch – Source: https://www.etsy.com/listing/162674356/cthulhu-light-switch-plate?ref=shop_home_active_6&ga_search_query=lightswitch
If you really want to decorate for Halloween take the time to repurpose an old light switch that you could find at a thrift store. Guaranteed these are going to cost under an $1 and if it doesn't turn out as planned, no big deal. Cover it with some Halloween themed giftwrap or Halloween themed napkins with some modpdge and you've got a unique decor item for your room.
5. Haunted picture frames – Source: http://crowsfeetchic.blogspot.ca/2010/10/paranormal-portraits.html
Thrift stores are the absolute best for finding picture frames. You can create a display of haunted picture frames by printing out some old black and white photos (or you may even find some frames with photos to use) and cut out the eyes. If you're really feeling really crafty and are able to find some small lights, put them in behind the cut out eyes for a spooky glowing look.
6. Caution Tape Halloween Wreath – Source: http://www.hgtv.com/handmade/10-creep-tastic-halloween-wreaths/pictures/index.html
Simply wrap a wreath that you find at a thrift store with caution tape, add a bow, and you have a Halloween wreath for your door or mantle. Wreaths can be found at any thrift store and you can find the caution tape at any Halloween store display.
7. Candle sticks for Displaying Pumpkins – Source: http://dollarstorecrafts.com/2011/10/30-last-minute-halloween-ideas/
Pick up a variety of candle sticks from a thrift store, add some fake or real mini pumpkins and you've got a great Halloween for the table or mantle piece. The mis-match look is the best and thrift stores are the best solution for putting these types of looks together.
8. Sharpie Painted Halloween Plate – Source: http://www.thesamanthashow.com/2012/10/trick-or-treat-smell-my-feet.html?showComment=1351221635414
Plates are in an abundance at thrift stores and you can write all kinds of spooky messages on them. Grab a sharpie, and write your messages like 'BOO' (that, or something a bit more creative) and display your plate for the holiday.
9. Gothic Lace Candles – Source: http://www.shelterness.com/diy-gothic-lace-candles-for-halloween-decor/
Create a gothic look to some plain candles by gluing some black lace to the outside of a glass holder. Even if the candle holder itself isn't perfect, you'll be surrounding it with lace anyway and the imperfections will look even better. I like this idea so much that I may keep it around for even after Halloween.
10. Black Ceramic Cats – Source: http://let–it–shine.blogspot.ca/2010/10/not-your-grandmas-kitty.html?m=1
Finally a purpose for all those ceramaic cats at thrift stores! Spray paint them black and you have a great Halloween decor piece! Painted birds would also look great.
Thanks for checking out our ideas! We would love to see what you guys come up with! Email us a photo of your DIY Halloween Decoration and we'll post it to our page. Send us an email: firstname.lastname@example.com

Then he gets down to business:
"There are three separate intellectual questions that may be asked about this modern world-system. The first is the explanation of its genesis: how is it that the sixteenth-century European world-economy survived, unlike previous such systems. The second question is how such a system, once consolidated, operates. The third is what are the basic secular trends of a capitalist system, and therefore what will account for its eventual decline as a social system." (pp. 173-174)He takes mercy on the reader by offering relatively short answers, given the immensity of the questions. Blah, blah, blah, development of capitalism. Then he comes to the point:
"The operation of the system, once established, revolved around two basic dichotomies. One was the dichotomy of class, bourgeois versus proletarian...Obviously, he got some of his ideas from Karl Marx. Next paragraph:
The other basic dichotomy was the spatial hierarchy of economic specialization, core versus periphery, in which there was an appropriation of surplus from the producers of low-wage (but high supervision), low-profit, low-capital intensive goods by the producers of high-wage (but low supervision), high- profit, high-capital intensive, so-called 'unequal exchange'." (pp. 174-175)
"The genius, if you will, of the capitalist system, is the interweaving of these two channels of exploitation which overlap but are not identical and create the cultural and political complexities (and obscurities) of the system. Among other things, it has made it possible to respond to the politico-economic pres- sures of cyclical economic crises by rearranging spatial hierarchies without significantly impairing class hierarchies.... And it's all trending toward crisis and then the proletariat will rise up and we all get a socialist world-government, which we must hyphenate because Wallerstein said so.
The mechanism by which the capitalist system ultimately resolves its recurrent cyclical down-turns is expansion: outward spatially, and internally in terms of the 'freeing' of the market – remember the basic ambivalence about the free market, good for the buyer and bad for the seller – via the steady proletarianization of semi-proletarian labour and the steady commercialization of semi-market-oriented land." (p. 175)

OxiClean is an all-purpose product that uses oxygen to clean. An excellent stain remover, OxiClean has many other uses besides being a laundry agent. OxiClean is not bad for the environment and can be safely used on a variety of fabrics and materials, making it perfect to have around the house any time a stain happens or something needs sprucing up. OxiClean can be purchased at most retailers in the laundry products section.
OxiClean is famous for being a stain remover. Add a scoop to your laundry (alongside detergent) to power out hard-to-clean stains such as grass, dirt, chocolate or wine. OxiClean is also color safe and chlorine free, so you don't have to worry about it damaging your clothes.
Tile and Grout
OxiClean can cut through tile and grout stains. Follow directions to make a mixture of OxiClean and water in a spray bottle. Spray on tough stains, let sit for a few minutes, then scrub and rinse.
Carpets and Upholstery
Follow the package directions to mix a bottle of stain remover in a spray bottle. Spray onto carpet stains or stains on couches or other upholstered, washable surfaces. Rub the stain and wait five minutes; use a towel to blot most of the product away and allow the surface to dry.
Outdoor Use
OxiClean can be used for many outside items. Remove stains from outside furniture, unfinished wood decks, pool tiling and even concrete. Mix a general stain removing solution according to the package directions and spray it on, scrubbing at stubborn stains. Let the OxiClean sit for 30 minutes then rinse well.
