Green Sea Turtles

By 21st Century Observer, thanks to National Geographic Kids (November 2004 issue).
You may know that sea turtles are an endangered species, but you probably don’t know the numbers. Green sea turtles need help.
If a female sea turtle lays 1,000 eggs, only one of those will survive.
1,000 eggs laid
800 of the eggs hatch.
400 of those make it off the beach. The others are eaten.
200 of those make it two to five years at sea. The others are eaten, or caught in garbage. This is one of the many reasons it is important to keep the oceans clean.
1 survives 30-70 years. The others die.
This leaves one sea turtle to reproduce again. There is a 50% chance it will be a female.
As well as it being just plain mean, it is illegal to harass, hurt, of kill a sea turtle. Fines can be as high as $25,000 plus a jail sentence.

Tales of an iPhone User: The Phone, Part 2

Making a call on the revolutionary new iPhone is easy. Simply tap on the phone icon and you can browse through your contacts that are automatically set as the ones from your computer. You can also add more directly to your iPhone if you want.
The ways to browse through your contacts are favorites, recent calls or callers and contacts. Favorites are the people you call the most. Recent calls are the people who you have recently called, and the people who have recently called you. Contacts are all your contacts, the people who have their names loaded onto your iPhone. You can also call people by returning their calls.
You can use the keypad to easily call people not in your contacts list. When you are talking to that person, you can add them to your contacts list.
During a call, you can easily put the person on hold, and make another call. Then, you can easily switch between the two calls, or merge them to a conference call. Making calls on an iPhone is fun, easy, and interesting. Join us again, on Tales of an iphone User!
