THE BIG CATS AT THE SHARJAH BREEDING CENTRE

It is one of the few places where you will be able to spot them all at the same time… the

Arabian wolf, an African cheetah, an Arabian leopard, an oryx, a gazelle. These are just some of

exemplary work being done at the Breeding Centre for Endangered Arabian Wildlife in Sharjah

INSOMNIA – THE ENEMY OF SLEEP

It is not unusual to have sleep troubles from time to time. But, if you feel you do not get enough

sleep or satisfying sleep, you may have insomnia, a sleep disorder

. People with insomnia have

one or more of the following: difficulty falling asleep, waking up often during the night and having

trouble going back to sleep, waking up too early in the morning and unrefreshing sleep. Insomnia

is not defined by the number of hours you sleep every night. The amount of sleep a person needs

varies. While most people need between 7 and 8 hours of sleep a night, some people do well with

less, and some need more

ALTERNATIVE FARMING METHODS IN OREGON

Onion growers in eastern Oregon are adopting a system that saves water and keeps topsoil

are still producing top-quality pears. Range managers throughout the state have controlled the

poisonous weed tansy ragwort with insect predators and saved the Oregon livestock industry up to

$4.8 million a year.
