Low Soft Cervix 12 Dpo

BEAR MEAT OR MEAT MAN ?

maybe neither.
continue regarding bestiary; Alpine but not limited to, the most widely mountain. And this time back to deal with bears if not more from a literary point of view. The chronicle of recent times, providing a basis for a broader discussion that touches the film, an area in which the plantigrade often plays the role of star, and not just in films such as comforters and soft Koda Brother Bear or L ' Bear .
To begin, the news.
05/21/2008, Gioia dei Marsi (AQ). 5 pounds of honey eaten by a bear near Marsicano the National Park of Abruzzo. Curious reaction beekeeper Franco Trojans at all troubled by the fact: "It is a tangible sign of the presence of plantigrade in our country: a heritage which must be safeguarded by all means to avoid the risk to extinguish the symbol of the Marsi. 05/22/2008
, high Seriana Val (BG). In a sheep 4 sheep are torn to pieces. In crossing the network of hair that remained, according to initial investigations, it would belong to a bear.
And a few days earlier, on May 17, Prato allo Stelvio (BZ) was held the international conference Living with the bear organized by the WWF, where they discussed the best practices for the prevention of damage caused by ' animal and the measure of compensation for those who have undergone the "theft".
At our latitudes, where nature has now been completely domesticated, we can afford to quibble about the fact that the bears are a heritage for the benefit of the environment and the dangers that this purely economic presence can cause to humans. But it is not the case everywhere. In other areas of the world such as Canada, Alaska and Siberia, the debate is very different proportions: the presence of bears is a threat to human life? The discussion is open, although there, to those who wander in the woods for a hike, you are strongly advised to carry a shotgun.
These questions gave an answer the great German director Werner Herzog in his documentary film Grizzly Man . It is the true story of Timothy Treadwell, a young American (a little 'borderline , actually) who spends his summers in Alaska looking at the grizzly and turning for hours and hours of footage to demonstrate that the bears are not a danger to men, but rather they are threatened by them. Unfortunately, after 13 years of life in the Great North in 2003, the protagonist is torn to pieces with his own girlfriend by a bear. Herzog's message that you have read the immense amount of footage of Treadwell and assembled them tell the story with his own voiceover, is that nature is basically evil and coexistence between humans and animals is based on an all-out fight. Not surprisingly, the bear that is guilty of the crime will be killed in turn by the friends of Treadwell.

In response to Herzog, the Trento Film Festival was presented another documentary about the grizzly that tells the story of another curious character who spends his time in close contact with wild animals. The film opens with some statistics: over the past 100 years, 200,000 bears have been killed by man, against 91 human beings killed by bears. The title is The Edge of Eden - Living with the bears Jeff and Sue Turner recounts a summer spent in Siberia by Charlie Russell, ethologist Canada, which each year buys a pair of bear cubs from poachers caught, to reeducate the free life in the mountains of Kamchatka. It is a kind of surrogate mother for these furballs: teach them to play, to fish for salmon, to distrust by adult males that would kill them, but always promoting their instinct. And all the while feeding them so they can accumulate enough fat to survive a long winter in hibernation. In the film, he soon received a visit of two cubs reared the previous summer that are not yet fully independent and come back from time to time to take advantage of the kindness of their "mother".
The only form of self-defense taken by Russell is the pepper spray. His idea is that at most bears can be aggressive, never vicious. For the time has not yet been devoured Treadwell like, maybe never will be. A partnership between men and grizzly is possible? For some yes, some do not.

How Long Can You Be In Military?

THE TRAIN, THE TRAIN!


Today disturbs the sleep of children in the form of nightmares, ma.fino a hundred years ago kept awake Pastors have to defend the sheep from his attacks in the dark. He was chased, hunted, captured and killed because stealing livestock and game populations to poor farming and hunting were based on their livelihoods. It probably dates back to the early 900 the final disappearance of the wolf from the Alps but in the late '90s is back, after a long pilgrimage from Abruzzo where they had left some of the enclave canidate. A herd has stabilized in the mountains of Upper Susa Valley, and its presence was confirmed by numerous sightings have occurred over the years, several complaints from pastors who have been killed sheep and, unfortunately, by the discovery of several dead bodies killed by death accidental or by poaching.
The return of the wolf can only be good news for the health of the mountains. Means that its habitat is still largely preserved and that the development of human activity does not hinder much the balance of nature. What is more amazing is how this large core is going to occupy precisely the Valle di Susa, one of the most-affected alpine areas, where between ski lifts, tourist facilities and infrastructure for roads seems to remain little room for the wilderness. But perhaps for this reason, if human activity is condensed in some areas - though very large - there are completely abandoned and wild areas where wolves are privacy and game to suit your needs and to support a rather large herd.
But there is also the other side of the coin. Meanwhile, communities are so small that wolves do not completely prevent a new risk extinction. Are still too many people who die over by trains and automobiles (the leading cause of mortality) and those who are killed by poachers and herdsmen. To come to the present day, died a few days ago a wolf (pictured) was found in a railway tunnel in the Upper Susa Valley, definitely hit by a train. And last fall, another corpse was found in the area, this time killed by a poacher.
probably the shepherds will not agree, but it's really sad to see the image above. It is a matter of perception: the wolf is the social animal that hunts and lives in packs, which best represents the intelligence and sympathy. Although supportive, maternal enough to read the Book of the Jungle, or revive the legend of Romulus and Remus, raised by the wolf. The return of the mountains shows it in its most defenseless against the abuses of the human being perpetrated against the environment.
Who raises sheep probably has different feelings, even if it receives compensation for each animal killed by wolves. The pastors are forced to find new practical solutions to reorganize the work, if you watched the first mountain pastures every few days, should be monitored 24 hours a day 24. But know that the valleys are inhabited by wolves is an incalculable wealth is for our creativity, both for the welfare of the environment. The law of nature was reversed: the predator has become the victim. But the animal that represents the main danger for everyone is endowed with intelligence and compassion. Will he be able to exercise these qualities?

A RENDEZ-VOUS IN WEB

caliamo Today in the lowlands; universe crystal in the world of dust, where the crack is not hot and still summer and we that we complain of the coldest winters. We'll go off topic to show other facets of life.
is the story of an adventure from which they originated so many stories that are separated, then twisted again, and again divided. At the time a thin web joining the Upper World, the Pays Plat and the Black Continent
primal need to go to the meeting seven years ago in a smoky apartment in Brussels, where the beer was flowing and abundant good humor and never failed to wash dishes . After that, we do not lose sight thanks to a long series of gatherings (random or guided by fate?) That marked the passing of time, even though each time it seems that nothing has changed. Someone has returned from Brussels, while others are left for disparate places: Bologna, Paris, Madrid, Benin, India, Burkina Faso. And every trip punctuated by new meeting: Brussels (always), Torino (several times), Bologna, Liguria, Stockholm, Dolomites, Alps of Provence.
Now the streets are back to pass each other, really and virtually, in a beautiful island that is not there. A place far away but close, ethereal but real, welcomed us and brought back together. The hosts are a Red Cross official and a video journalist (both from the small country at the heart of Europe) who have moved in Burkina Faso where have set up a very rich log book in which he describes the experiences, emotions, feelings and life in an environment so different, new and fascinating. Physically hosted the other protagonists of history, the High World visited them in the form of bits.
No one can say where they will review yet, but suggestions are welcome.
