The Royal National Park is a national park in New South Wales, Australia. It is located 29 km south of Sydney. Founded in 1879 by Sir John Robertson, it is the world’s second oldest purposed National Park, the first usage of the term “National Park” after Yellowstone in the United States. Its original name was The National Park, but it was renamed in 1955 after a visit by Queen Elizabeth II. There was once a railway line connected the Park to the City Rail but this has now closed. There are numerous walking trails and picnic sites throughout the park. There is a car park just within the Park to leave vehicles. One popular walk is the coast walk. There were big fires in 1994 that burnt large parts of the park. Now these areas are being rehabilitated. Audley is a large, flat area in one of the larger valleys in the park. A timber dance hall built in the early 20th century is available for tourists. Large picnic areas, grassy meadows, and cafeterias make the picnic more interesting. Eagle Rock — a unique rock formation, about half way down the length of the park on the coast. It is a large rock that look like an eagle’s head when viewed from the side. The other remarkable feature is the several waterfalls which tumble over the cliffs and into the sea over one hundred metres below. Wattamolla is one of the most popular coastal beaches in the park. Substantial parking and a canteen serving refreshments on summer weekends are also there. The park service is also very careful to protect these areas due to their general rarity in the hot, arid Australian landscape.

"Nguyen Tri Hieu, 48, from HCM City has donated blood 71 times. However, he has set a goal of donating blood up to 100 times or until his health no longer allows him to.

“My mother died due to lack of blood for a transfusion when I was 20 years old. My family got together in an effort to donate blood to help her. We even bought blood from other donors, but it was not enough,” he recalled.

“I wasn't just my mother at that time, many patients were in desperate need of blood transfusions but the resources simply weren't there and they had to leave this world before their time.” said Hieu.

A few years after his mother passed away, Hieu decided to register to donate blood. Since the first time in 1997, Hieu has donated blood for 71 times, offering up the life-giving resource once every three months.

“There have been many times when I've donated blood to people in need of urgent transfusions. Once, when I was working, my friend at the blood bank called me to help a child at the Heart Institute. My boss immediately told me to go to the hospital.”

“I remembered all the times I've donated blood like that because if did not hurry, the patient’s life would be at risk," he said.

Hieu is also a registered organ donor. "I feel like I can give something, I don't need to keep it," he said. "I feel like I can give away anything, I should not keep it, how can I do it when someone might need it.”

Hieu was one of 100 donors who were honoured at a ceremony on Thursday for their contributions to the country’s voluntary blood donation movement in 2019."

There are thousands of different kinds of microbes. Microbes called bacteria are the smallest living things. Bacteria live almost everywhere: on land, in water, and even inside you. Some microscopic life forms are like plants. Tiny diatoms are microbes that live in lakes and the ocean. Diatoms soak up sunlight and use its energy to make food, just like plants.

Some microscopic life forms are more like animals. Protozoa such as the amoeba and paramecium are animal-like microorganisms. An amoeba can move by changing the shape of its body. It sticks out a pseudo pod, or false foot. A paramecium is covered with tiny hairs. It waves its hairs rapidly to swim.

Viruses are another kind of microbe. Viruses sometimes act like living things and other times act like nonliving things. Viruses sometimes live in the cells of plants and animals. Inside a cell, a virus reproduces like a living thing. The virus uses the cell to make many copies of itself. Viruses are too small to see with an ordinary microscope. You need a powerful electron microscope to see a virus. Outside of a plant or animal cell, a virus is like a nonliving thing.

Animals live everywhere. They roam the land. They burrow in the ground. They swim in the sea. They fly through the air. They creep, they leap, they soar, and they dive. A very few – including corals and barnacles – stay in one place.

Animals come in all sizes. The biggest animals are whales, which can be 100 feet (30 meters) long. The smallest animals can only be seen through a microscope. Zoologists (scientists who study animals) have found more than 2 million species (kinds) of animals. They think they have discovered only a small portion of all animals on Earth.

Several things make animals different from other living things. Unlike plants, animals cannot make their own food. Animals eat other living things–plants and other animals–to get energy. Animal bodies are made up of more than one cell, unlike bacteria and other life forms with only one cell. Cells are the building blocks of living things. Animals also have senses, such as eyes or ears, that tell them what is going on around them.

Unlike plants, animals cannot make their own food.
