Dinosaurs’ Legend

From dinosaur fossils found throughout the world, scientists have gained evidence about when dinosaurs lived, what they ate, and how large they grew. Dinosaurs lived during the Mesozoic era, from 225 to 65 million years ago. The Mesozoic era is divided into three periods: Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous.

TRIASSIC PERIOD, from 225 to 195 million years ago
First dinosaurs appeared during the Triassic period. Most early dinosaurs were small, rarely longer than 15 feet.
Early meat-eating dinosaurs were called Theropods.
Earliest-known dinosaurs were meat-eaters, found in Argentina: Eoraptor (the most primitive dinosaur, only about 40 inches long) and Herrerasaurus.
Early plant-eating dinosaurs were called Prosauropods. Plateosaurus and Anchisaurus were two early plant-eating dinosaurs.

JURASSIC PERIOD, from 195 to 135 million years ago
Dinosaurs that lived during the Jurassic period were gigantic.
Jurassic dinosaurs included the Sauropods, giant long-necked plant-eaters, the largest land animals ever. Apatosaurus and Brachiosaurus (70-80feet) and Diplodocus (over 80 feet) were Sauropods.
Stegosaurus (30 feet), a large plant-eater, had sharp, bony plates along its back.
Allosaurus and Megalosaurus, two giant meat-eaters, fed on large plant-eating dinosaurs like the Apatosaurus and Stegosaurus. Megalosaurus grew to 30 feet in length; Allosaurus, 30-36 feet.

CRETACEOUS PERIOD, from 135 to 65 million years ago
New dinosaurs appeared during the Cretaceous period, but by the end of the Cretaceous period, all dinosaurs had died out.
New plant-eaters: Triceratops and other horned dinosaurs, Anatosaurus and other duckbilled dinosaurs, Ankylosaurus and other armored dinosaurs.
New meat-eater: Tyrannosaurus Rex, the largest and one of the fiercest meat-eaters, growing to 20 feet high and 40 feet long.

DID YOU KNOW?
Tyrannosaurus Rex had teeth that were 7 inches long!
Sauropods had teeth that were not good for chewing, so they ate
stones, which ground up the food in their stomachs.
The Stegosaurus had the smallest brain of any dinosaur. Its
brain weighed only 2.5 ounces.
Scientists studying dinosaur bones believe that birds are probably
descended from small dinosaurs.

Although we do not know for sure why dinosaurs became extinct, one theory is that an asteroid from space hit the Earth 65 million years ago and blocked out the sunlight. This possibly caused drastic climate changes that made the dinosaurs starve to death.

Gold Rush

For the first time in history, gold rose above $1,800 per ounce Wednesday, closing at $1,784.

While many people may be having gold fever, financial advisor Sherod Waite said it is important for people to remember to diversify their investments.

"Gold is just one asset class out of 20 or 30 major asset classes we can invest in. So you know the phrase, 'Don't put all your eggs into one basket;'that holds true with gold. You don't want to put too much of your assets or too much of your investment portfolio all in gold," said Waite.

Waite says only 3 to 5 percent of a person's investments should go into precious metals. That is because he says unlike stocks or a bond, gold doesn't pay a dividend.

"It doesn't create an income," said Waite. It is simply an asset that you are holding. The only value of that asset is what somebody else might buy it from you for."

Waite also said before people rush out to spend all their money on gold they need to keep in mind that the gold market can be volatile too. He said there was an extended period of time the gold price didn't go anywhere.

Share the Ummph!

Here in Malaysia, tea is more than just a drink. Tea both creates and complements the social situation whether it is a meeting of friends, a family get-together or a corporate appointment.

At the same time, tea is a beverage that transcends creed or culture. Regardless of favourite football teams, political opinions or religious beliefs, every Malaysian is sure to find common ground when it comes to having a cup of tea.

This is the essence of this simple yet great-tasting brew. Whether tarik-ed and frothy, ice-cold with a squeeze of lime or steaming and fragrant, tea brings people together.

BOH understands this unique feature better than anyone. After all, BOH is today the nation’s leading brand.

As a reflection of the unifying factor of tea and BOH’s brand promise, its tagline ‘Share the Ummph!’ was conceptualised to embody this essence.

The phrase is an expression of sharing the extraordinary feeling of Ummph! by bringing people together over an occasion of tea and igniting joy. It is also a commitment to provide avenues for like-minded Malaysians to meet and gather. After all, the good things in life are always more meaningful when shared with the people who matters.

‘Share the Ummph! is ultimately a promise to create that extra special feeling with great-tasting tea for the enjoyment of everyone, both in Malaysia and beyond.

The Cylon Raider is a suspended roller coaster that will turn your world upside down as it runs through vertical loops, corkscrews and cobra rolls.

Riders on both coasters will experience unbelievable thrills as they twist, turn & narrowly avoid collision.

Plagued on all sides by huge fireballs, swarms of scarab beetles and an army of warrior mummies, all in total darkness. Can you survive the awesome power of Imhotep’s curse or will you be entombed inside forever?
