Is there also such a program for real biological mice...? By now I've set about 6 traps, have some ferrets on borrow / patrol and still I hear some of them rummaging around....
I just don't understand the division at all. Okay- sure with sports that lean heavily on physical strength I can understand it- Females are just ran off the field by males and they can't compete in the strength department. But when it comes to endurance and accuracy, I know females that beat most males.
Art for Art's sake- and then this artist has thought of something new. Perhaps the idea can be refined, made more practical or whatever- but she has seeded an idea. And I'll bet ya that is some years with the invention of new materials and new possibilities in micro-circuitry, we'll see mainstream clothing that will react to moods, weather, temperature speed of movement and so on. Instead of having to change garments for each occatsion, the garments themselves will to some extent change to situations. That is the future that this artist has foreseen and tried to visualise with her dresses.
Most of us Europeans and Americans do not have a single clue about the cultural and geographical complexity and largeness of the native tribes of the North-American continent and of Syberia. We all are just emerging from a whole time when we only knew that there was us "Civilised" Westerners and that there were them "Primitive" -non-specified because not equal or worthy- Others.
After trying that out- If someone feels the urge to believe in the miracle of God and His Creation, just consider the miracle of a complete and stable solar system with so much planets, moons, asteroids and comets. With that, you don't need the miracle of a Creation in 6 days no more- This is far grander...
Lynn I kew a woman who reached the healthy age of 96 by always being careful and leading a healthy life. But she always lamented that she had not done this and not done that, because she had to be so careful and she wished that she had done more and that she had lived more adventurously. ...But then the last four years she got dementia and all curtains fell for her, with all her healthy conscious life behind her.
So do what you want, make any dream come true that you have if you can. And just enjoy while you can. Even with or without you ever taking tattoo's- Learn to live in the Here and Now. Enjoy and savour the moment. And worry about how you possibly might look in 20 or more years when you yourself have reached that age. So much can happen in that timespan that perhaps by that time the way you look could be the least of your life's-issues.
In the meantime- I just love this here portrayed tattoo and I have the greatest respect for the lady who choose to take it and for the artist that set it.
Plain stupid. That's what it is. Understandable on the part of these 2 teachers in the spur of the moment, but still moronically stupid- Most kids have mobile phones that can send recordings straight to their social sites and everyone should know by now that anything out of the ordinary hits the internet within about one human's heartbeat and is reviewed and commented on within about 5 human breathes... To forget that is beyond stupidity.
...But I wonder if these teachers should be suspended for that- I would rather say that they deserve a good very public shaming by all the parents and by their collegues and televised on the internet and that not only they, but all the teachers should be sent to some awareness-course to prevent them from doing similar stupidities in the future.
About the Roanoke settlement I've understood that the main pointwhy people did not understand the dissapearance of that settlement, was because for ages people just did not want to believe that anyone would want to choose to abandon the European way of life for a socalled "primitive" lifestyle. This cultural Eurocentristic view stood in the way of any comprehension of what happened there. Same thing could be seen all over the world where Europeans or people of European-culture somehow got stuck outside their safe culture in the rough outback and they had to survive without all the backup of their own folks- Either their colony got strong enough to survive and prosper, or if they couldn't get strong soon enough, they just died of starvation or by being overrun by natives and they vanished because they didn't grasp the survival-skills of that location in time. Or they survived by simply let themselves be absorbed by the ways of the land- by those who already lived there succesfully. You see similar tales of individuals and groups in Australia, the America's, Asia and Africa. And lots of times that same disbelief of other Europeans that their own people willingly for any reason would choose to assimilate with natives, socalled "primitives".....
Tragic. The death of any person that is killed while doing his or her job is tragic. But I see it as just any other risk of that particular job- If you willingly and by your own choise work with big and/or dangerous animals like elephants, whales, lions, poisonous snakes or scorpions, bears or even small greatures like ferrets, porcupines, rats or ... wombats, you have to be prepared to get damaged, hurt, bitten, poisoned, squashed, drowned, killed. For that, you cannot blame the animal, because in the end that just is what that animal does- An elephant will have a bad temper at some point. A tiger will charge at some point. A poisonous snake will bite. A scorpion will sting, a ferret will bite. An orca will -if even in play- drag you down and be dominant. A dog or a cat will at some point make clear it's had enough and retalliate. But if a big animal retalliates- smaller beings can die and in any case will get hurt most likely bad. That's just how it is- Occupational hazard and nothing more. Tough luck or bad judgement on the part of that woman. Let's just hope that it won't happen that often again. That's all. But it will happen again- people working with -big- animals will be killed by the animals they work with. Inevitably.
Columbus was preceded not only by the Vikings some 500 years before him, but also by the Irish Brendan the Navigator. He most likely visited the North American continent some 500 years before the Vikings.
And Krikkit what's your problem...? Have you ever been outside America...? In most places outside Americva it is pick on America day every day of the year! ...Just as it is pick on China day, or pick on Afghanistan day, or pick on Iran day, or pick on North Korea day, or pick on Japan day, or pick on any other country than America that perhaps wins medals or does not win any medal on the Canadian Winter Olympics Day.
America just is not one grain better or worse than the rest of the world. That's all.
Well.... Maybe some day.....

Cudos to her!

...And then to think that some people rally believe that all that immense universe is created just for us puny humans.....
:-P

But it did give me a complete headache...
