Motorcycles vary considerably depending on the task they are designed for, such as long distance travel, navigating congested urban traffic, cruising, sport and racing, or off-road conditions.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Motorcycles are one of the most affordable forms of motorised transport in many parts of the world and, for most of the world's population, they are also the most common type of motor vehicle. There are around 200 million motorcycles (including mopeds, motor scooters, motorised bicycles, and other powered two and three-wheelers) in use worldwide, or about 33 motorcycles per 1000 people. This compares to around 590 million cars, or about 91 per 1000 people.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Most of the motorcycles, 58%, are in the developing countries of Asia &amp;ndash; Southern and Eastern Asia, and the Asia Pacific countries, excluding Japan &amp;ndash; while 33% of the cars (195 million) are concentrated in the United States and Japan. In 2006, China had 54 million motorcycles in use and an annual production of 22 million units. As of 2002, India, with an estimated 37 million motorcycles/mopeds, was home to the largest number of motorised two wheelers in the world. China came a close second with 34 million motorcycles/mopeds.</description></item><item><title>Dog Puzzle: Chihuahua</title><link>http://www.appbrain.com/app/dog-puzzle%3A-chihuahua/com.saubcy.games.puzzle.Dog.Chihuahua.gm</link><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.appbrain.com/app/dog-puzzle%3A-chihuahua/com.saubcy.games.puzzle.Dog.Chihuahua.gm</guid><comments>http://www.appbrain.com/app/dog-puzzle%3A-chihuahua/com.saubcy.games.puzzle.Dog.Chihuahua.gm#comments</comments><pubDate>Sun, 20 May 2012 11:18:42 +0000</pubDate><description>The About this sound Chihuahua (Spanish: Chihuahua) is the smallest breed of dog and is so named for the state of Chihuahua in Mexico. Chihuahuas come in a wide variety of sizes, head shapes, colors and coat lengths.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Chihuahua&amp;rsquo;s history is puzzling and there are many theories surrounding the origin of the breed. Both folklore and archeological finds show that the breed originated in Mexico. The most common and most likely theory is that Chihuahuas are descended from the Techichi, a companion dog favored by the Toltec civilization in Mexico. No records of the Techichi are available prior to the 9th century, although dog pots from Colima, Mexico, buried as part of the western Mexico shaft tomb tradition which date back to 300 B.C. are thought to depict Techichis.It is probable that earlier ancestors were present prior to the Mayans as dogs approximating the Chihuahua are found in materials from the Great Pyramid of Cholula, predating 1530 and in the ruins of Chichen Itza on the Yucat&amp;aacute;n Peninsula. In fact, wheeled dog toys representing both the &amp;quot;deer head&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;apple head&amp;quot; varieties of Chihuahua have been unearthed across Mesoamerica from Mexico to El Salvador. The earliest of these were found at Tres Zapotes in Veracruz, Mexico, which date to 100 A.D. Dog effigy pots dating to around 1325 A.D. discovered in Georgia and Tennessee also appear to represent the Chihuahua[4] It has been argued that these pots arrived with survivors from the Casas Grandes site in Chihuahua, Mexico, after it was attacked and destroyed around 1340 A.D. Pots unearthed at Casas Grandes include representations of the &amp;quot;deer head&amp;quot; variety of Chihuahua. Colonial records refer to small, nearly hairless dogs at the beginning of the 19th century, one of which claims 16th-century Conquistadores found them plentiful in the region later known as Chihuahua.</description></item><item><title>Heavy Trucks Puzzle</title><link>http://www.appbrain.com/app/heavy-trucks-puzzle/com.saubcy.games.puzzle.HeavyTrucks</link><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.appbrain.com/app/heavy-trucks-puzzle/com.saubcy.games.puzzle.HeavyTrucks</guid><comments>http://www.appbrain.com/app/heavy-trucks-puzzle/com.saubcy.games.puzzle.HeavyTrucks#comments</comments><pubDate>Mon, 12 Nov 2012 18:20:28 +0000</pubDate><description>A truck (North American and Australian English) or lorry (British and Commonwealth English) is a motor vehicle designed to transport cargo. Trucks vary greatly in size, power, and configuration, with the smallest being mechanically similar to an automobile. Commercial trucks can be very large and powerful, and may be configured to mount specialized equipment, such as in the case of fire trucks and concrete mixers and suction excavators. Modern trucks are powered by either gasoline or diesel engines, with diesel dominant in commercial applications. In the European Union vehicles with a gross combination mass of less than 3,500 kilograms (7,716 lb) are known as light commercial vehicles and those over as large goods vehicles.</description></item><item><title>Dog Puzzle:Australian Shepherd</title><link>http://www.appbrain.com/app/dog-puzzle%3Aaustralian-shepherd/com.saubcy.games.puzzle.Dog.Australian_Shepherd.gm</link><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.appbrain.com/app/dog-puzzle%3Aaustralian-shepherd/com.saubcy.games.puzzle.Dog.Australian_Shepherd.gm</guid><comments>http://www.appbrain.com/app/dog-puzzle%3Aaustralian-shepherd/com.saubcy.games.puzzle.Dog.Australian_Shepherd.gm#comments</comments><pubDate>Sun, 20 May 2012 11:18:42 +0000</pubDate><description>The Australian shepherd is a breed of a herding dog that was developed on ranches in western United States.  Despite its name, the breed, commonly known as an Aussie, did not originate in Australia and is American. They acquired their name because some of these dogs were used to herd Australian sheep. The breed rose gradually in popularity with the boom of western riding after World War I. They became known to the general public through rodeos, horse shows, and through Disney movies made for television.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For many years, Aussies have been valued by stockmen for their versatility and trainability. They have a similar look to the popular English Shepherd and Border Collie breeds. While they continue to work as stockdogs and compete in herding trials, the breed has earned recognition in other roles due to their trainability and eagerness to please, and are highly regarded for their skills in obedience. Like all working breeds, the Aussie has considerable energy and drive, and usually needs a job to do. It often excels at dog sports such as dog agility, flyball, and frisbee. They are also highly successful search and rescue dogs, disaster dogs, detection dogs, guide, service, and therapy dogs.</description></item><item><title>Dog Puzzle: American Staffords</title><link>http://www.appbrain.com/app/dog-puzzle%3A-american-staffords/com.saubcy.games.puzzle.Dog.American_Staffordshire_Terrier.gm</link><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.appbrain.com/app/dog-puzzle%3A-american-staffords/com.saubcy.games.puzzle.Dog.American_Staffordshire_Terrier.gm</guid><comments>http://www.appbrain.com/app/dog-puzzle%3A-american-staffords/com.saubcy.games.puzzle.Dog.American_Staffordshire_Terrier.gm#comments</comments><pubDate>Sun, 20 May 2012 11:18:42 +0000</pubDate><description>The American Staffordshire terrier is a medium-sized, short-coated American dog breed.

Historical civilizations are often identified with their surviving architectural achievements.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;Architecture&amp;quot; can mean:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;    A general term to describe buildings and other physical structures.&lt;br&gt;    The art and science of designing and erecting buildings and other physical structures.&lt;br&gt;    The style and method of design and construction of buildings and other physical structures.&lt;br&gt;    The practice of the architect, where architecture means the offering or rendering of professional services in connection with the design and construction of buildings, or built environments.[1]&lt;br&gt;    The design activity of the architect, from the macro-level (urban design, landscape architecture) to the micro-level (construction details and furniture).&lt;br&gt;    The term &amp;quot;architecture&amp;quot; has been adopted to describe the activity of designing any kind of system, and is commonly used in describing information technology.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In relation to buildings, architecture has to do with the planning, designing and constructing form, space and ambience that reflect functional, technical, social, environmental, and aesthetic considerations. It requires the creative manipulation and coordination of material, technology, light and shadow. Architecture also encompasses the pragmatic aspects of realizing buildings and structures, including scheduling, cost estimating and construction administration. As documentation produced by architects, typically drawings, plans and technical specifications, architecture defines the structure and/or behavior of a building or any other kind of system that is to be or has been constructed.</description></item><item><title>Mogao Caves Puzzle</title><link>http://www.appbrain.com/app/mogao-caves-puzzle/com.saubcy.games.puzzle.MogaoCaves</link><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.appbrain.com/app/mogao-caves-puzzle/com.saubcy.games.puzzle.MogaoCaves</guid><comments>http://www.appbrain.com/app/mogao-caves-puzzle/com.saubcy.games.puzzle.MogaoCaves#comments</comments><pubDate>Sun, 06 Jan 2013 22:18:29 +0000</pubDate><description>The Mogao Caves or Mogao Grottoes (Chinese: 莫高窟; pinyin: M&amp;ograve;gāo kū), also known as the Caves of the Thousand Buddhas (Chinese: 千佛洞; pinyin: qiān f&amp;oacute; d&amp;ograve;ng), form a system of 492 temples 25 km (16 mi) southeast of the center of Dunhuang, an oasis strategically located at a religious and cultural crossroads on the Silk Road, in Gansu province, China. The caves may also be known as the Dunhuang Caves, however, this term is also used to include other Buddhist cave sites in the Dunhuang area, such as the Western Thousand Buddha Caves, and the Yulin Caves farther away. The caves contain some of the finest examples of Buddhist art spanning a period of 1,000 years.[1] The first caves were dug out 366 CE as places of Buddhist meditation and worship.[2] The Mogao Caves are the best known of the Chinese Buddhist grottoes and, along with Longmen Grottoes and Yungang Grottoes, are one of the three famous ancient Buddhist sculptural sites of China.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;An important cache of documents was discovered in 1900 in the so-called &amp;quot;Library Cave&amp;quot;, which had been walled-up in the 11th century. The content of the library was dispersed around the world, and largest collections are now found in Beijing, London, Paris and Berlin, and the International Dunhuang Project exists to coordinate and collect scholarly work on the Dunhuang manuscripts and other material. The caves themselves are now a popular tourist destination, with a number open for visiting.</description></item><lastBuildDate>Sun, 06 Jan 2013 22:18:29 +0000</lastBuildDate><pubDate>Sun, 06 Jan 2013 22:18:29 +0000</pubDate></channel></rss>
