Commonwealth Games - Punctuation

Today I was learning to use  Punctuation.

Information on Lions

Kings of the JungleMales defend their territory, be it open woodland or scrub, through urinating to mark the area, roaring to promote fear and literally chasing off any intruders. Their main competition is spotted hyenas that often go for the same prey as lions. These animals will fight and steal each other's food. This warfare goes beyond food; it is also the problem of territorial boundaries being crossed. Lions can be extremely aggressive and have been seen hunting hyenas, killing them and not eating their prey. They dominate and promote fear in other animals, such as cheetahs and leopards, so that they do not prey the same time that lions do. Males eat the prey first despite the females usually catching it. It can take up to four hours to finish a meal and can drink for an extremely long time straight after.Basically the male lions defend and protect their territory as females hunt. This is their part to keep their pride thriving and growing. Lions are affectionate and playful when resting, which can usually take up to 16 - 20 hours a day, and extremely defensive and nasty when food is on the scene. They show their affection by head rubbing and licking. These animals are mostly known for their ferocious roar but they do also make other noises including meowing, woofing, purring, coughing and hissing.Lion CubsCubs come in litters of between one to five babies and are either carefully nurtured or completely neglected. If this is the case, other lionesses will allow the cub to suckle despite it not being their own. Lionesses baby sit each other's cubs too, which demonstrates the amount of care and respect they have. They give birth once every two years with the cubs eating meat after three months and are continued to be nursed three months after. Most lionesses have cubs by the age of four.Lions are quite possibly one of the most fascinating creatures in the world. With their stereotypical ferocious outer appearance yet a soft, community driven spirit, it is no wonder that lions are used as metaphors to represent sporting teams, community centres and countries alike.Asiatic LionAsiatic Lion(ess), Panthera leo persica are rare. There are about 320-odd remaining in the Gir forest of Gujarat in Western India, and bureaucratic bumbling has prevented the establishment of alternative populations. So a single epidemic could wipe out these fine animals. Though often spoken of as the lion of the Bible, that was probably the extinct Barbary lion.Differences between the African lion are the prominent belly fringe and the larger tuft at the end of the tail. Males have a smaller mane.Interesting information:The largest lion was recorded to be nearly 700 pounds and nearly 11 foot long.The oldest lion on record was nearly 29 years old.A lion's eyesight is five times better than a human being.A lion can hear prey from a mile away.Lions can smell nearby prey and estimate how long it was in the area.A lion's roar can be heard from five miles away.Tigers are so similar to lions that without their coats, their bodies look so similar only experts can tell them apart.When males join a pride, they usually kill other cubs.Lions can go four days without drinking.There is less than 50 000 lions in the world today.The gestation period is about 110 days.To find out more Click down here to go to the Website.http://www.lions.org

Some Information on Peter Snell.

Some Information on Peter Snell.

Peter Snell Born 1938.  Peter Snell stands at the top of New Zealand sport. In 2000 he was voted New Zealand Athlete of the Century. In 1990, at the inaugural New Zealand Sports Hall of Fame induction, he was given the privilege of being the first person honoured.  Three Olympic gold medals, two Empire Games golds, a clutch of world records and no defeats in major races is a mighty record. Twice he was Sportsman of the Year.

He was named 1960s Athlete of the Decade by the authoritative Track & Field News.  Along with Murray Halberg and the other outstanding pupils of master coach Arthur Lydiard, Snell was responsible for the finest era in New Zealand athletics. Massive crowds flocked to see him, not just in the main centres, but in Wanganui, Invercargill, Tokoroa and Masterton.  There were so many shining moments in his career that it is difficult to single out a highlight, but he nominates two.  “The first was the final of the Olympic 800m at Rome in 1960,” he says. “I was just 21 and when I burst through to win the final from Roger Moens, the world record-holder, I was stunned. I went to Rome hoping to make the final. It was hard to believe that suddenly I was an Olympic champion. I recall looking up to the giant results board above the track and seeing P G Snell NZL at the top of the list. That was one of the great thrills of my life.”   

Snell’s magic afternoon at Rome was completed half an hour later when Murray Halberg won the 5000m gold medal. New Zealand really did rule the stadium that day.  Another never-to-be-forgotten came on January 27, 1962, when he lined up at Wanganui, hoping to become the first person to break the four-minute barrier for the mile in New Zealand and ended up breaking Herb Elliott's world record. That race changed his career. He was from then on regarded primarily as a miler.

However, the week after his Wanganui run, Snell smashed the world records for 880 yards and 800m running on grass at Lancaster Park, Christchurch. The times he set that day remain New Zealand records five decades later.

By 1964, Snell - who fitted in quantity surveying study through his career - was looking for a great performance at the Tokyo Olympics to cap his career and he did it, completing a rare 800m-1500m gold medal double.  He was a little concerned about the 800 metres, which came first, because he felt he might have lost some of his speed. However, he cruised through to the final and then ran brilliantly to record the second-fastest time ever (behind his own world record).

He won the 1500m title even more decisively, bursting clear with 240 metres remaining and quickly leaving the rest of the field in his wake.  The 1500m race was the first time two New Zealanders had won medals in the same Olympic event, because John Davies was the surprise bronze medallist.

After a relatively unsuccessful world tour in 1965, Snell retired.  In the early 1960s, Snell was an absolute cult figure. If he signalled his intention to run, a huge crowd was guaranteed. Meets featuring Snell often drew crowds of 25,000, even 30,000.  After his retirement Snell worked for some years as the Rothmans Foundation's director of coaching.

But he found his name and reputation cloying and longed to achieve more off the track.  He had never been an outstanding student, but a year at Loughborough College in 1971 convinced him he had the ability to achieve academic honours.

So he packed up his family and moved to the United States. He studied at the University of California from 1974-77 and earned a Bachelor of Science degree.  That might have ended his study, but for the Superstars craze of the time. He won the New Zealand section and represented New Zealand at the world event. His prize money paid for his graduate studies at Washington State University.

After gaining a PhD at Washington, he moved to Dallas to do a post-doctoral fellowship.  He has continued to do research in Dallas and Dr Snell, as he is now, is these days in heavy demand to present papers and make speeches on exercise physiology.  Yet he has maintained his contact with New Zealand.

He was a Governor of the Sports Foundation, and was involved with the Snell Institute in Auckland until its demise. In 1990 he ran the final lap at the Auckland Commonwealth Games opening ceremony.  It seems he will remain permanently in the United States.

His second wife, Miki, is American, and he is happily settled in Dallas.  Snell was awarded the Lonsdale Cup in 1962 and 1964. In 2002 he was made a Distinguished Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit, and a few years later officially became Sir Peter Snell.
