Ring-Tailed Mongoose (Galidia elegans): A Red-Bodied, Striped-Tail Carnivore of Madagascar
Mira, Isn't it amazing that there are three acceptable plural forms of "mongoose"? "Mongaggle" seems particularly charming.
The rock formations comprise Madagascar's karstic landscape, which is another twist on karstic geomorphology ...

A Tour of Herastrau Park and the Village Museum in Bucharest
Mira, Such an outstanding park and open-air museum. The interiors recall for me Old World Wisconsin, an open air museum, and Milwaukee Public Museum's European Village, an indoor museum.
Your video was enjoyable and gives a nice panorama and ...

Ring-Tail Marsh Hawks (Circus hudsonius): Female and Juvenile Harriers of the Western Hemisphere
Mira, In kleptoparasitism, one predator steals the prey that has been captured by another predator. Ringtail marsh hawks and short-eared owls have a history of buzzing around one another about prey, and usually the ringtails win: they let short ...

Women and Children First? Titanic and the Suffragettes
Totally agreed. Though I don't think that any of us know for sure what we'd do, if we were ever in those kind of situations. Hopefully we'll never find out.

Women and Children First? Titanic and the Suffragettes
I think you are right about tradition. I'd rather think that today it's about helping those who need help in a crises - men or women- without sacrificing one for the other. A world where it's every man or woman for him/herself wouldn't be good.

The UK Gambling Commission replied...
They want me to show that people can turn virtual gold into real money.
I replied (and put the emails at the end of this article).
Not sure how best to show them. They would know if they played MMOs but ...

Women and Children First? Titanic and the Suffragettes
I think you're right, at least in how such things began. Though the actual Birkenhead Drill had more to do with chivalry. As for it in the modern day, could that be all about tradition and what's expected?

Women and Children First? Titanic and the Suffragettes
I see "women and children first" coming from the fact that men are naturally physically stronger (for the most part) and it wouldn't be right to leave those with fewer capabilities to fend for themselves. We would all (hopefully) feel like we ...

But aren't you a big Austen fan? Maybe you should be the one watching it, then letting us know!

Why Would Anyone Deny the Holocaust?
That's precisely what I think is going on.
Though I have heard a disquieting alternative theory today. That's the one which equates anti-Zionism with anti-Antisemitism. This has more fertile ground on the left than the right. That's spelt ...
