			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Virtual toothy skull made of limestone and in the form of a monkey head, set to the virtual exhibition on display at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto Canada.</p>
<p>But unlike the famous Crystal Skull, which is widely considered to be false, is believed to be real.</p>
<p>The skull is approximately the same and are small enough that You can hold in your hands. It has eight ornamental white teeth made of shell in two groups of four, with a black gear made from iron pyrites in the middle. The skull&#039;s mouth wide open, and the eyes may initially have a shell in it.</p>
<p>&quot;This is something that is given to the museum in the early 1970s,&quot; exhibit curator Justin Jennings told LiveScience.</p></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question by butterflyrose1017</i>: why are the other koi attacking the only koi who is spawning?</strong><br />
I have a 2200 gal pond with 5 koi and 2 gold  fish.  One koi is spawning.  I have noticed that the two larger koi about 7 inch  long are pushing her into tight spaces aroung plants and rocks I have seen the larger koi are pushing mommy out of the waterI am concerned with this.  All the fish are about 2 yrs old. They were indoors for winter and now they are in a pond with plants and filters.</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by danielle Z</i><br/>Only one koi would not be &#8220;spawning&#8221;  either they all are in spawn or none.  When keeping koi only one female to every one male to keep the females safe.  </p>
<p>The males will &#8220;abuse&#8221; and push the females to release the eggs so they are the ones to spawn.  If the others are males&#8230;.they will gang up on her since they all are via&#8217;ing for the right to spawn.   Watch because too many males can cause the death of the female.  Usually Koi won&#8217;t spawn until they are around four years of age.  However they will do this to goldfish that are 2 and come into eggs  They can and do cross breed.  </p>
<p>Your female could be young.  If she is too young to have eggs the males can kill her  If this is the case you need to remove or isolate her in the pond.</p>

<p>1000 block Carl d. Silver Pkwy, 12/13 7: 30 am-12/14 9: 00 am.  Maintenance employee for companies Rappaport reports that the figure of the Christ child was stolen from the Nativity scene in Central Park.  An investigation was underway. </p>
<p>All businesses in the village, including Giant Eagle, were evacuated for safety purposes. They all have been cleared for occupancy, but they may not be open for business since there was no gas service to the rest of the shopping center.</p>
<p>Columbia Gas wasn&#039;t sure when the gas service will be restored to a shopping center. They have to turn off the gas at the level of the road as they assess and work on fixing broken.</p>
<p>The smell of gas had to disappear from the region with around 10: 30 pm, and there is a danger to anyone in the area, Bledsoe said.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question by Emily</i>: Pet Owner, Would you like your veterinary clinic to have a personal trainer for your dogs?</strong><br />
Pet Owner, Would you like your veterinary clinic to have a personal trainer for your dogs?<br />
Our vet clinic is interested and having their own personal trainer for dogs. So any of our clients&#8217; pets have behavioral issues they could be dealt with at one place. </p>
<p>The trainer would get tips, hands on training, follow ups.</p>
<p>Pet owners what do you think of that idea?<br />
How much would you be willing to pay per session.</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by sarahwdw</i><br/>When I got my Bull-mastiff puppy, I knew she was going to be a big dog.  So as soon as she turned 3 months old, I signed up for a puppy obedience class, two lessons a week for 4 weeks for $  400.00.  If some lesson, like stay didn&#8217;t hold, she got one retraining session for free.  She will turn 7 years old in Feb. and still knows and obeys all her commands.  I consider it money well spent.</p>
<p>I have known people that were having behavioral problems with their dogs and either didn&#8217;t know a trainer or didn&#8217;t have time to take a class with their dog.  The dog ended up left in the yard 24/7 with very little interaction with the owner or given to animal control or dumped.  </p>
<p>I love the idea of a vet clinic with a trainer on site.  My trainer&#8217;s price was very reasonable, so $  50.00 a session would be affordable for most dog owners.  To train an adult dog in my area can cost from $  1600. to $  2000.  Most owners won&#8217;t pay $  200. or more for 1 session with a trainer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question by Unknown</i>: What happens to the pets at a pet store if the pet store goes out of business?</strong><br />
It is advised that when wanting a pet, it is best to adopt at a shelter or adopt one from a reputable breeder. Pet store pets come from puppy mills and buying a pet from a pet store is supporting puppy mills.</p>
<p>But what happens to the pets if the pet store shuts down? Are they put in animal shelters? If they&#8217;re going to end up in animal shelters anyway, isn&#8217;t purchasing a pet &#8220;saving&#8221; it?</p>

<p>A proposal to limit the number of pets allowed in the suburb appears to be go to Richland County Council for consideration in the coming weeks.</p>
<p>The draft measure, is sure to stir up emotions, will be put on the three-pet in areas which all but the countryside is categorized.</p>
<p>There is no limit on the number of pets are now owned by the people who lived off the Richland County, but the city of Columbia has a limit of two dogs that are primarily executed when neighbors complained about the barking dog or unhealthy meters.</p></p>
