I think the weight of the hippo can be around 350-600 pounds from how I see them they are big but I still love them. A hippo weighs up to 2 or 3 tons.
Speciesof hippopotamus: the river, or common, hippo Hippopotamus amphibius (featured on this fact sheet) and the much smaller pygmy hippo Hexaprotodon liberiensis. The hippo is heaviest land mammal (after the elephant). On in, the water’s fine!
Hippos also have a set of built-in goggles: a clear membrane covers their eyes for protection while still allowing them to see when underwater. Their nostrils close and they can hold their breath for five minutes or longer when submerged. Yet despite all these adaptations for life in the water, hippos can't swim!
They can't even float! Like aquatic ballet dancers. Hippos have unique skin that needs to be kept wet for a good part of the day.
Staying out of the water for too long can lead to dehydration, so hippos try to stay in the water during the day. They don’t have true sweat glands; instead, hippos secrete a thick, red substance from their pores known as "blood sweat" because it looks like the animal is sweating blood. But not to worry!
The blood sweat creates a layer of mucous that protects hippo skin from sunburn and keeps it moist. It is thought that this mucous may also prevent infections because even large wounds don't get infected despite the filthy water hippos sometimes live in. Time wallowing in shallow water.
Fact, this goes on for about six hours! Despite their enormous weight, hippos eat an average of only 88 pounds (40 kilograms) of food a night. This amount is about 1 to 1.5 percent of their body weight.
By comparison, the largest cattle eat 2.5 percent of their body weight each day. Making long trips on land to new lakes or rivers. Their ears help them hear the sounds of falling fruit and their keen sense of smell helps them sniff out the tasty treats.
Hippos are mostly inactive unless eating and this helps them conserve energy. Alfalfa and Bermuda hay, lettuce, and on special occasions, melons. The breeding season for hippos is linked to the dry season so that most births happen during the wettest time of the year.
Hippos prefer to breed in the water but can also do so on land. Amazingly, the hippo gestation period is just 8 months—slightly shorter than the human gestation period—yet the hippo calf is about 10 times larger than a human baby! When the female, called a cow, nears the time to give birth, she will leave the herd for one or two weeks to give birth to her young and create a bond with her calf.
She is comfortable giving birth in water or on land.
It's all down to the type of bike. A DH MTB can still tip the scale at close to 20 kilos(40 lbs), an XC MTB half of that. A road bike 7 kilos(abt14) lbs and your basic upright commuter around 15 kilos.
No idea, but the amount of juice from a lime is 2 teaspoons, which is about 12ml.
The weight of a raisin is about 1 gram or about 0.0022 pounds.
A raisin is a dried grape. Raisins are produced in many regions of the world and may be eaten raw or used in cooking, baking and brewing. In the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada the word "raisin" is reserved for the dark-coloured dried large grape,1 with "sultana" being a golden-coloured dried grape, and "currant" being a dried small Black Corinth grape.
The word raisin dates back to Middle English and is a loanword from Old French; in French, raisin means "grape", while a dried grape is referred to as a raisin sec, or "dry grape". The Old French word in turn developed from the Latin word racemus, "a bunch of grapes". Raisin varieties depend on the type of grape used, and are made in a variety of sizes and colors including green, black, blue, purple, and yellow.
Seedless varieties include the sultana (also known as Thompson Seedless in the USA) and Flame grapes. Raisins are typically sun-dried, but may also be water-dipped, or dehydrated. "Golden raisins" (called "Sultanas" outside the USA) are made from sultana, treated with drying oil to aid in developing their golden colour, and dried either on the vine or on special drying racks.
Certain varieties of red seedless grapes, such as Black Corinth or Zante currant , are also sun-dried to produce currants, miniature raisins that are much darker in color and have a tart, tangy flavor. Several varieties of raisins produced in Asia are available in the West only at ethnic specialty grocers. Raisins range from about 67% to 72% sugars by weight,4 most of which is fructose and glucose.
They also contain about 3% protein and 3.5% dietary fiber. 5 Raisins, like prunes and apricots, are also high in certain antioxidants, but have a lower vitamin C content than fresh grapes. Raisins are low in sodium and contain no cholesterol.
New data suggest that, among individuals with mild increases in blood pressure, the routine consumption of raisins (three times a day) may significantly lower blood pressure, especially when compared to eating other common snacks, according to research presented at the American College of Cardiology's 61st Annual Scientific Session. Raisins can cause renal failure in dogs. The cause of this is not known.
8 See the article on grape and raisin toxicity in dogs. Raisins are sweet due to their high concentration of sugars (about 30% fructose and 28% glucose by weight). The sugars can crystallize inside the fruit when stored after a long period, making the dry raisins gritty, but that does not affect their usability.
These sugar grains can be dissolved by blanching the fruit in hot water or other liquids. Grade A - The color is good, and the flavor is characteristic of raisins. These raisins show development characteristics indicative of the fact that they are prepared from well-matured grapes (containing no less than 80% water by weight).
The processed raisins contain less than 19% moisture by weight. Grade B - The color and flavor is reasonably good. These raisins show development characteristics that highlight the fact that the raisins were prepared from reasonably well-matured grapes at least 70% water by weight.
These raisins also contain less than 19% moisture, by weight. Grade C - The color and flavor are fairly good. These raisins show development characteristics of raisins prepared from fairly well-matured grapes containing at least 55% water by weight.
These raisins also contain less than 19% moisture, by weight. Substandard - Raisins that fail to meet the standards of Grade C. Snap-dragon, a Victorian parlour game that involved raisins being plucked from a bowl of burning brandy.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
