• Cheetah - biology.

  animals such as zebras. Unlike most cats, cheetahs hunt during the day, when lions and hyenas that compete with them for prey are less likely to be active. Still,scientists in Tanzania have observed that cheetahs lose 10 to 13 percent of their kills to lions and hyenas. Alerted by the panic of a gazelle herd or by the circling ofvultures, lions and hyenas close in and easily drive the more timid cheetah away from a fresh kill. A cheetah usually stalks prey to within about 10 m (about 33 ft) and...

• Sir Robert Borden.

At the last moment before election day in 1911 it looked as if the Liberals might win. The government ne...

• Armenian Massacres .

Although the leaders of the European powers publicly condemned the actions of the sultan, they failed to intervene. Mutual rivalries and suspicions, aswell as the imprecise terms of Article 61 of the Treaty of Berlin, helped produce this inaction. But these bloody episodes soon paved the way for the rise of a newnationalist...

• Excerpt from A Christmas Carol - anthology.

  External heat and cold had little influence on Scrooge. No warmth could warm, no wintry weather chill him. No wind that blew was bitterer than he, no falling snowwas more intent upon its purpose, no pelting rain less open to entreaty. Foul weather didn’t know where to have him. The heaviest rain, and snow, and hail, and sleet,could boast of the advantage over him in only one respect. They often “came down” handsomely and Scrooge never did. Nobody ever stopped him in the street to say, with g...

  Il s'agit donc d'un droit, mais comme tout droit, son abus peut être sanctionné, au terme de la théorie de l'abus de droit. "La liberté consiste à pouvoir faire tout ce qui ne nuit pas à autrui" D'après Pierre Desproges: "on peut rire de tout mais pas avec n'importe qui". Ce qui amusera l'un risque de choquer l'autre.

The notes also disclose information about lease commitments, contingent liab...
