BIG 5. Lion. Arathusa Safari Lodge. South Africa. Sep/2020
Lion
The lion (Panthera leo) is a species in the family Felidae; it is a muscular, deep-chested cat with a short, rounded head, a reduced neck and round ears, and a hairy tuft at the end of its tail. The lion is sexually dimorphic; males are larger than females with a typical weight range of 150 to 250 kg (330 to 550 lb) for the former and 120 to 182 kg (265 to 400 lb) for the latter. Male lions have a prominent mane, which is the most recognisable feature of the species. A lion pride consists of a few adult males, related females and cubs. Groups of female lions typically hunt together, preying mostly on large ungulates. The species is an apex and keystone predator, although they scavenge when opportunities occur. Some lions have been known to hunt humans, although the species typically does not.
Typically, the lion inhabits grasslands and savannas but is absent in dense forests. It is usually more diurnal than other big cats, but when persecuted it adapts to being active at night and at twilight. In the Pleistocene, the lion ranged throughout Eurasia, Africa and the Americas from the Yukon to Peru but today it has been reduced to fragmented populations in Sub-Saharan Africa and one critically endangered population in western India

O leão [feminino: leoa] (nome científico: Panthera leo) é uma espécie de mamífero carnívoro do gênero Panthera e da família Felidae. A espécie é atualmente encontrada na África subsaariana e na Ásia, com uma única população remanescente em perigo, no Parque Nacional da Floresta de Gir, Gujarat, Índia. Foi extinto na África do Norte e no Sudoeste Asiático em tempos históricos, e até o Pleistoceno Superior, há cerca de 10 000 anos, era o mais difundido grande mamífero terrestre depois dos humanos, sendo encontrado na maior parte da África, em muito da Eurásia, da Europa Ocidental à Índia, e na América, do Yukon ao México. É uma dos quatro grandes felinos, com alguns machos excedendo 250 quilogramas em peso, sendo o segundo maior felino recente depois do tigre.
A pelagem é unicolor de coloração castanha, e os machos apresentam uma juba característica. Uma das características mais marcantes da espécie é a presença de um tufo de pelos pretos na cauda, que também possui uma espora. Habita preferencialmente as savanas e pastagens abertas, mas pode ser encontrado em regiões mais arbustivas. É um animal sociável que vive em grupos que consiste das leoas e suas crias, o macho dominante e alguns machos jovens que ainda não alcançaram a maturidade sexual. A dieta consiste principalmente de grandes ungulados e possuem hábitos noturnos e crepusculares, descansando e dormindo na maior parte do dia. Leões vivem por volta de 10-14 anos na natureza, enquanto em cativeiro eles podem viver por até 30 anos.

Science has shown that as we age our ability to absorb calcium reduces. In fact some reports indicate that our ability to absorb calcium from our diet declines by 60% from childhood to adulthood. What can you do to promote healthy bones and teeth? New & Improved Forever Calcium® provides the clinically proven quantities of Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, Manganese, Copper and the Vitamins C & D to help maintain proper bone structure and function.
You depend on the strength of your body every day, and it starts from the inside out. Forever’s new form of calcium, Di-Calcium malate, is most effective at promoting optimum bone building since it stays in the blood stream longer and does not interfere with the natural pH balance in the stomach. Additionally, our proprietary mineral blend is smaller and more absorbable than our previous formula.
New & Improved Forever Calcium® uses superior forms of calcium and other patented high performance minerals to ensure maximum absorption and bioavailability. To combat our declining ability to absorb calcium as we age, a comprehensive supplement is vital to help protect against bone loss. Forever Calcium® can help you feel assured that you are relying on the highest quality ingredients to support your health.

South Asian youth will be actively promoting mental wellness and reducing stigma with their peers, families and communities through a new Mental Health Youth Ambassador program funded by the Ministry of Mental Health and Addictions.
The South Asian Mental Health Alliance (SAMHAA) received $112,900 in year-end funding to train 100 youth ambassadors by Spring 2021. The training will be offered throughout the lower mainland and includes the Mental Health First Aid certification course, developed by the Mental Health Commission of Canada. Additionally, training and mentoring in cultural safety, overdose crisis education, health care system navigation skills, and learning how to use the arts to promote dialogue about mental health will be provided to participating youth ambassadors.
South Asian communities are one of the largest ethno-cultural groups in the province and tend to access mental health and substance use services less often than the general population. SAMHAA is tackling this disparity by working with local non-profit societies, faith communities and service providers to raise awareness, build capacity and reduce stigma around mental health, with a focus on leveraging the expertise and influence of second-generation South Asian Canadians.

These grey cables and metal ferrules it has to be said, are another Shimano product that has found its way into the mix. The lovely chromed ferrules fit the divers helmet stop in very snug fashion and neatly house the cable without any flopping about. The internal brake wires and gear wires are of European origin but alas, the brake straddle cables are made from Shimano gear wires.

Yesterday was the most beautiful day here in Ohio. It was sunny and warm (well 40 degrees which is warm this time of year). The morning was frosty, with temps down in the teens. All the sap that was flowing the day before had stopped and was frozen in the spiles. It didn’t take long for them to thaw out with the sun and warmth and start flowing again. These are prime sugaring temps; you want it to be above freezing during the day and below freezing at night. The rest of this week and next week look like it’s going to be beautiful, especially for sugaring.

sasrai-Movement appeal Let People Act the best in 2016
Dear Madam/Sir
Greetings from sasrai-Movement that has been serving voluntarily since 2004 across the globe aimed at promoting prudent and sustainable consumption and conservation, optimum use and reducing the abuse of resources. `sasrai’ targets to animate, activate each individual, family, community, institution, organization to combat Climate Change, global warming, food, fuel, water, poverty, disaster, waste, ecosystem, biodiversity - finally reverse the devastating trend of globe. It brings into line SDGs 01 to 06 and 11 to 16.
Pope’s Opinion on CONSUMPTION SLAVERY
“When people become self-centered and self-enclosed, their greed increases. The emptier a person’s heart is, the more he or she needs things to buy, own and consume. It becomes almost impossible to accept the limits imposed by reality. In this horizon, a genuine sense of the common good also disappears” (#204).
Pope’s Opinion on social media’s effects on our culture
“When media and the digital world become omnipresent, their influence can stop
people from learning how to live wisely, to think deeply and to love generously…. True wisdom, as the fruit of self-examination, dialogue and generous encounter between persons, is not acquired by a mere accumulation of data which eventually leads to overload and confusion, a sort of mental pollution.
To ensure rights, dignity, peace, justice for all we must get each baby caring to each particle of resource. “The world is heading for irreversible and potential catastrophic climate change.” "Nature does not discriminate rich/super power or a poorer, distress impact equally. Nature demand’s absolute care – We must stop `Consumption Slaving and Slavery’, "Let’s have mission to spread “sasrai-Movement” aimed at habitable earth. Planet demand voice from each corner to Combat the Climate Change and Global Warming Threat – Let People Act
01. sasrai commenced involve mass in the biggest combat, the climate change
02. sasrai believe in Peace, Justice, Rights, Dignity for all End Slavery, Poverty, Hunger, Reduce Disaster and Vulnerability
03 Climate Change Critically Changing Civilization - Cordial, Prudent, Purposeful Partnering is urgent ensure desired environment & ecology, habitable earth for the youth, next generation.
04. sasrai aimed at reverse the devastating trend of planet earth due to human driven climate change
5. sasrai means to Harmonic Development, Environmental Protection and achieve SDG that planet’s utmost need
06. Keep the planet habitable everyone's interest and each needed to be involved – sasrai is the strategy
We must promote `sasrai-Movement' preferably first step for the development personnel around the globe that brings significant change in mindset `how much less consuming I could be.' Pope’s “Cultural Revolution - sasrai-Movement” running since 2004. To materialize the Pope’s commandment UN, INGO, NGO Officials, Students and Factory worker needed to be orientated on “sasrai-Movement.” sasrai.com/mr-zambia-glimpse-of-hope/
To achieve SDGs earth community need sasrai Feelings and Practicing
No Matter Climate Changing or Not, Ice Melting/Rising or Not – We must Stop Our Greed, Stop the Creature Killing -- we must stop the Consumption Slaving or Slavery. We are in danger of destroying ourselves by our greed and stupidity. We cannot remain looking inwards at ourselves on a small and increasingly polluted and overcrowded planet. Stephen Hawking sasrai.com/does-paris-attack-eventual/
Earth community plummeted into two major catastrophic sea named Climate Crisis and Terror Attack. Immediate halt of those are utmost needs for the sake of humanity, next generation. Which is the first is not the question. Fairly placing fact those two monsters are sons of Consumption Addiction. This very Consumption Addiction or Consumption Craziness breeds Climate Crisis. And the Consumption Disparity breeds manpower for Terror Attack. Earth community needs to address the root cause. In absence of this, slogan for equality, rights, dignity, peace, justice etc is completely an abortive effort. sasrai.com/cop21-have-or-have-not/
Stephen Hawking: "Let us fight for every woman and every man to have the opportunity to live healthy, secure lives, full of opportunity and love."
6th century reformer Poet Solon wrote ----
"Snowstorm and hail come from a cloud and thunder comes from lightning,
But the ruin of the city comes from unjust men they do not understand how to restrain their greed. They grow rich, persuaded by their unjust deeds, which destroys the beautiful youth of many; and from its troubles the much-loved city is swiftly worn out, friendships destroyed in unjust factions." sasrai.com/terrorist-attack-in-paris/

If Sweden is to reach its climate goal of reducing emissions in the transport sector, it is vital that the transition to zero emission transport is supported. The first electric trucks are now in operation, and as the Nordic region’s largest container port, APM Terminals Gothenburg will encourage haulage companies that have started their journey towards electrified truck transport with a new priority solution.
Every day, an average of 1,000 trucks pass through the gates of APM Terminals Gothenburg. Only a few of these trucks are currently electric, but APM Terminals and its partners in the Gothenburg goods hub want to encourage the transition.
The new solution - to be implemented on 1 March 2023 - will allow electric trucks to bypass other trucks at APM Terminals via a reserved lane, and they will be allocated priority handling within the terminal area.
"Sustainability is one of our cornerstones at APM Terminals, and our own container handling has been fossil-free for several years,” says Brian Bitsch, Commercial Manager at APM Terminals Gothenburg. “Many haulage companies have now started to electrify parts of their truck fleet, an initiative that we want to support. Though the journey to truck transport being completely fossil-free is long, we hope that this setup will be an incentive and a small step along the way."
“We will evaluate the solution on an ongoing basis and develop it based on customer needs and new technical conditions,” he concludes.
