Each and every animal deserves their freedom, and to be recognized as nature's greatest gifts to the world. We are all so heartbroken from the news on #CeciltheLion, that we urge everyone to help bring peace on earth between man and animal. Lets NOT let this happen again. #tigers #bekind #saveouranimals #protectouranimals #worldpeace #heartbroken

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what if the "...sometimes Y" is part of the "A,E,I,O,U" bit. But since it hasn't exactly been determined as a vowel, the word, "Rythm" is the longest word without a vowel. Isn't that cool? #nerds #grammernerds #writing #learning #reading

For whom the bell tolls? For him, perhaps! This famous author has penned many novels based on war, courage, and manhood, but his most famous was "For Whom the Bell Tolls" written in 1940. His dangerous life through World War I and II was mirrored through his writing, and may have contributed towards his mental health leading to his death in 1961. This author has, and is still known to be on of America's greatest writers of the 20th century, and this author is Ernest Hemingway. 1899-1961 Source: Questia.com #books #novels #ebook #author #writing #literature #americanhistory #history #story #writer #ernesthemingway

Today marks the day that this great piece of American #literature was published in 1951. Capturing the blazon honesty of one's journey through an adult society, J.D. Salinger then became one of the greatest American authors in history. As critically acclaimed as it was, the story's honesty did cause a lot of controversy and was banned from high schools across the nation back in the 80's. Catcher in the Rye was later reinstated and is read and taught by schools to this day.

There are about 250 species and counting from this marine fish group abundantly found in the depths of the sea or in warm waters. It's sharp nose and flexible skeleton makes these predaceous creatures amazing swimmers, but mostly, one of the most dangerous animal of prey. Undoubtedly they are a danger to us, but there has been a gradual decrease in their population due to finning. Finning has become a gruesome technique in capturing sharks only for their fins to be used for human food and has become a great threat to their existence. Media from all over the world has covered this over-harvesting activity, however, the shark population still continues to shrink. #savethesharks #sharkawarenessday #sharks #research #marinebiology #funfacts #sharkweek

He lacks acumen, but his good nature and companionship is the balance that his partner, Sherlock Holmes, needs to crack the case. According to the stories, today is the day that Dr. John H. Watson (or Dr. Watson) was born. Coincidentally, it is also the day that the author, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, has passed at the age of 71.
