Animals Abundant In West Africa

Africa is home to an extremely wide variety of animals from the very tiny army ant to the towering giraffe. There are certain animals, however, that inhabit only parts of the continent, such as the animals of West Africa. From the West African manatee and pygmy hippopotamus to the Diana monkey and zebra duiker, there is no dearth of interesting mammals in the western part of the continent.


West African Manatee

Known worldwide as "seacows," the large gray West African manatee has tiny flippers and a flat, rounded paddle at its rear. It uses its flippers to move, eat and touch its mates.


Pygmy Hippopotamus

The West African pygmy hippopotamus can be found in the lowland and wet forests of Sierra Leona and Cote d'Ivoire, specifically in and near the Bandama River. 


Black Colobus Monkey

Cameroon and the Congo River are home to the black colobus monkey -- one of the 10 most endangered money species in all of Africa.


Diana Monkey

Found in Ghana, Guinea, Cote D'Ivoire, Liberia and Sierra Leone, Diana monkeys inhabits the upper canopy of many West African forests. 


West African Dwarf Crocodile

From Togo to Burkina Faso, Benin to Mali, the West African dwarf crocodile can be found in all West African countries in freshwater, tropical rain forests and tropical grassland alike. 


Zebra Duiker

Sierra Leone and Cote D'Ivoire are home to the zebra duiker, a zebra species found in low-lying forests and river valleys.

What Is A Personal Injury Lawsuit?


A personal-injury lawsuit is a civil action instigated by an individual or group who has suffered mental or bodily harm due to the actions of another party. The goal of personal-injury lawsuits is to extract compensation from the accused party to cover any of the plaintiff's medical expenses and lost wages due to an inability to work, and to assuage emotional damage.





Suits have been brought to trial that addressed everything from slipping on ice to contaminated food to spoiled medication to being burned by overly hot food and drinks. Common causes of personal-injury suits include car accidents, verbal or emotional assault, a damaged reputation or destroyed property.




A particular type of personal-injury suit covers medical malpractice and misdiagnosis. Over the past 15 years, an increasing number of patients have filed claims against doctors, pharmacists and other health practitioners for providing incorrect or ineffective treatment or expired medication. 


Often, a personal-injury lawsuit never makes it to trial, but instead is settled outside of court. The plaintiff's lawyer contacts the liable party and suggests a settlement that will be paid outside of trial to compensate for the damages.

Settlement is typically beneficial for both parties, because it usually results in more money for the plaintiff and less scandal and attention paid to the liable party.

How Safe Liposuction Is?

According to Wikipedia, liposuction is a cosmetic surgery that removes fat from many different sites on the human body.

Most often, liposuction is performed on the abdomen and thighs in women, and the abdomen and flanks in men. The procedure itself involves inserting a tube (cannula) into areas that contain fat and using a suction device (aspirator) to draw the fat out of the body through the tube. Most often, liposuction also involves injecting fluids into the area where fat is removed, to loosen the fat cells and provide salts and localized anesthesia to reduce internal strain.

Liposuction evolved from work in the late 1960's from surgeons in Europe using primitive techniques. By 1980, liposuction was extremely popular in the United States. As the technology advances, liposuction procedures also improved.

Removal of very large volumes of fat is a complex and potentially life-threatening procedure, the more fat removed, the higher the surgical risk. Many surgeons and patients believe it is safer to limit the amount of liposuction done in one day and avoid doing liposuction with unrelated cosmetic surgeries on the same day.

Although liposuction is very popular nowadays, not everyone is a good candidate for this surgery. A good candidate is a person who has realistic expectations, in good health and is likely to be happy with the results.

Risks Often Outweigh Benefits

As with any surgery, there are certain risks, beyond the temporary and minor side effects and the surgeon should mention them during a consultation. Risk of complication is usually associated with how large the procedure is, as well as the surgeons skills and specific training.


Liposuction is the most common cosmetic operation in the United States and the United Kingdom. Over 400,000 procedure are carried out in the US each year. Cost of liposuction is an important factor when considering this kind of surgery. However, the quality is more important than its cost. Choosing a liposuction surgeon based on the lowest price might ultimately the most expensive choice. If the initial results are bad, you will need to pay another surgeon to repair the work of the first liposuction surgeon.

Sound Suggestion For Playing The Game Of Golf

Some people say that golf is for rich people, I beg to disagree because you can play golf with only a set of clubs and a place to play. There are clubs that are not too expensive and you can divide the fee on a golf course with your friends or colleagues. There are also driving ranges to practice your skills. People enjoy playing golf because it takes their mind off of their everyday problems.
Setting up the trap is important and to ensure proper alignment in the trap, line up with your club head above the ball and place your stance accordingly. This guarantees that you have the best chance for a straight shot and at the same time avoiding a costly penalty stroke.
 
You should keep your eye on the ball before, during and after hitting the ball. This will not only ensure that you hit the ball but it will also avoid making several strokes out there in the sun.
Posture is also important and could make a difference in your swings, as well as your grip because holding the grip tightly or loosely may result in different kinds of shots.
Golf is a great sport for anyone. With constant practice and dedication, you may even be able to become a pro at it. Some people just do it for fun too, so don't worry too much if you're not at the skill level of a pro golfer, but you could be with enough practice!
