"Animals That Eat Ticks are Especially Beneficial to Outdoorsmen and Women." David Smith, Wideopenspace.com. All outdoorsmen and women are justifiably concerned about the spread of ticks and tick-borne diseases. Lyme disease is spreading at alarming rates. No one wants to contract it or any of the other serious diseases carried by ticks.

  • The camera’s history can be traced back to the Middle Ages with the first pinhole camera.

"His bald head glistening with sweat, Zhi Xiang peers into the eyes of a stray dog whose coat has become matted in heavy rain and says soothingly: "Let me cut your hair, cutie."  The bedraggled pooch is among scores of dogs hauled off the streets of Shanghai by police and packed in metal cages in a foul-smelling holding area.  More than 20 puppies are also crammed into a yellow plastic crate; one dog is dragged in while inside a tied bag.  But for Zhi's intervention, they will all be put down in a matter of days.  But Zhi is no ordinary animal rescuer: he is a Buddhist monk and will give these dogs a new life either at his ancient monastery or at a shelter he runs in the Chinese city.  He already has nearly 8,000 dogs to feed and care for. A few hundred will eventually be resettled in Europe or North America." June 26, 2021. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqRv2WTYoZ8
