Although both body-mass index (BMI) and physical activity might be attenuating the link between sedentary behaviour and some types of cancer, researchers still suggested adults (aged 50-71) who watched TV for at least 7 hours a day had a 22% increased risk of cancer mortality relative to those who watched TV less than one hour a day (40, 77).
Taylor feels relieved that Turtleâs first sound was a laugh; it reassures Taylor that she is doing a decent job of raising Turtle, for she feels that if Turtle were unhappy, she would not laugh. A little later, as Turtle and Taylor help Mattie plant the garden, Turtle says her first word: âbean.â. One night, Lou Ann tells Taylor about her fear that the horrible things she imagines will happen in real life. She tells Taylor that in high school she stood looking over a cliff and imagined jumping.
Turtles are reptiles of the order Testudines (or Chelonii) characterised by a special bony or cartilaginous shell developed from their ribs and acting as a shield. Turtle may refer to the order as a whole (American English) or to fresh-water and sea-dwelling testudines (British English).urtles have rigid beaks, and use their jaws to cut and chew food. Instead of having teeth, which they appear to have lost about 150-200 million years ago, the upper and lower jaws of the turtle are covered by horny ridges. Carnivorous turtles usually have knife-sharp ridges for slicing through their prey.
