Bats are not the dirty, bloodthirsty monsters that they are portrayed to be

in vampire films These animals groom themselves carefully like cats and onlyrarely carry rabies Of the hundreds of species of bats, only three rely on bloodmeals In fact, the majority eat fruit, insects, spiders, or small animals They

consume an enormous number of pests, pollinate many varieties of plant life,

and help reforest barren land by excreting millions of undigested seeds

Almost all bats use echolocation to navigate, especially at night As they

fly, they emit a series of high-pitched squeaks at the rate of about fifty per

minute As these signals bounce off objects in their path, an echo is detected

by the bats' sensitive ears which informs them of the direction and distance ofobstacles so that they can undertake corrective or evasive action But bats arenot blind as widely assumed In fact, all species of bats can see, probablyabout as well as human beings

It is also a little-known fact that bats are highly social creatures Thousands

or even millions of individual bats may belong to a colony, hanging upsidedown in caves or in trees Within their social systems, bats assume specialized

roles Some may guard the entrance to their caves, others may scout for food,

and still others may warn the colony of approaching danger A nursery colonymay be part of a larger colony to provide mother bats with a safe, supportiveenvironment in which to rear their young

The latest addiction to trap thousands of people is the Internet, which has beenblamed for broken relationships, job losses, financial ruin and even one suicide.Psychologists now recognize Internet Addiction Syndrome (IAS) as a new illness thatcould cause serious problems and ruin many lives, special help groups have been set

up to offer suffers help and support Psychologists have described many worrying

examples, including one man who took his own life after borrowing more than 14.000

dollars to feed his addiction, and a teenager also had to receive psychiatric treatmentfor his 12-hour-a-day habit “This illness is not a fake, and it must be taken seriously,)said an expert in behavioral addiction at Nottingham Trent University “These are notbad people with serious personality defects; they are people who were fine before theyfound the Internet.”

IAS is similar to other problems like gambling, smoking and drinking: addicts

have dreamed about the Internet; they need to use it first thing in the morning; they

lied to their partners about how much time they spend online; they wish they could cutdown, but are unable to do so A recent study found that many users spend up to 40hours a week on the Internet Although they felt guilty, they became depressed if theywere made to stop using it

Almost anyone can be at risk Some of the addicts are teenagers who arealready hooked on computer games and who find it very difficult to resist the games

on the Internet Surprisingly, however, psychologists said that most victims aremiddle-aged housewives who have never used a computer before
