Not a common sight in my experience. This one has free reign of a farm yard which likely gives him immunity from the local coyotes of which are many. He is a smart animal.
Meerkats may be able to handle a bite from some types of venomous snakes. Biologists have discovered meerkats are immune to some snakes' venom as they belong to the mongoose family. In some parts of the world, people prize mongooses as house guards because they can battle with deadly snakes, like cobras. If bitten they feel unwell for serval hours but make a full recovery.
Meerkats are actually pretty tough if you look like lunch
Meerkats may looks absolutely adorable but they lead dangerous lives. They have developed a technique for handling the venom found in scorpions, which they eat. When a scorpion sees a meerkat it moves in quickly for the kill. The scorpion may be aware a meerkat is close by, but it grabs the arachnid so fast it can’t attack. First the meerkat zeroes in on the tail biting off the scorpion's stinger and discarding it. Without its tail the scorpion can’t strike delivering venom. The pincers may cause a nasty nip, but that’s all. There is however still venom on its exoskeleton. To combat this, meerkats have learned to rub scorpions in the sand to remove any remaining venom. Lunch is served!
Meerkats are highly intelligent
Meerkats are much smarter than they look. A recent study at St Andrews University – Scotland – found meerkats use complex coordinated behaviour, which rivals that of chimps, baboons, dolphins and even humans. They solve tasks with help from their mob but also a bit of independent thought. The study saw meerkats engaged in a wide variety of social and asocial behaviours to solve tasks. In general the social factors helped draw the meerkats into the task, while the asocial processes helped them actually solve it.
Meerkats are omnivores!
You may be surprised to learn meerkats are omnivores – they eat fruit and vegetables as well as animals. Unlike humans, they have no excess body fat stores and therefore foraging for food is a constant activity. Their diet mostly consists of insects, which they sniff out using their enhanced sense of smell. They also eat small rodents, fruit, birds, eggs, lizards and as we’ve seen poisonous scorpions as well as snakes.
The desert is dry but meerkats don’t drink water
Despite living in the desert unbelievably meerkats do not need extra water in their diets. They get all the moisture they need from the insects and grubs they eat. A human would die within 3 – 5 days without additional water.
” We are not immune to bullet, fist or blade but any insult raised against us will be met with a blockade. We are stoic, but still smiles, cracking our face open without reserve for a friend, to calm, to a foe, to unnerve. A gentleman dresses his best, whether it Vans and sweater, or tie and vest. No-one is beneath our attention they gifts compliments quite often, but when a man puts a hand on us, that man goes home in a coffin. “
Rest hope you all enjoy amsy work as always ^^

Don't you love SPRING? Well, I used to suffer from severe allergies, which wasn't a rosy picnic, had got allergy shots for over 30 years, at one time, 7 shots every week. Until 13 or 14 year ago, I finally got immune from it. Perhaps a little sneeze during the season for me now. Yep, I was allergic to almost everything, pollen was my #1 enemy. They said, wearing the masks help prevent from getting allergic reaction,. :-))
Llega un nuevo año y con él una nueva oportunidad para mandaros mis mejores deseos queridos amigos de Flickr.
Que este nuevo año nos aporte las mismas cualidades que simboliza mi viejo vecino el algarrobo: siempre frondoso y bello, abundante y elegante, inmune al tiempo que pasa.
Feliz año 2023!!
Soon another year and with it, a new opportunity to send you my very best wishes dear Flickr friends.
May this new year bring us the same qualities of my old carob tree neighbor: always leafy and beautiful, abundant and elegant, immune to the passing of time. Happy new 2023!!
Mejor en grande.
Alex Pangman at her first performance in public this year. She had two lung transplants, so she is immune compromised and careful to stay healthy. She is a radio host at JazzFM and had mostly on-line concerts during the lockdowns and most of the last few years. It's a miracle that she is still singing. Last time I've seen her was in June 2022 (photo in my gallery). Her voice is unchanged even in comparison, when she had her own lungs in her 20's. It was really great to hear Alex Pangman performing live in public, and she was trilled too. The concert was billed as Kevin Ray Clark and friends and the New Orleans based trumpeter has fortunately excellent musician friends in Toronto. The whole weekend was full of great music in the old Gooderham Distillery, which became tourist attraction 20 years ago. It did not attract many Torononians in the last decade or so; let's hope this programming is a change for the better.

Alex Pangman performs a previously unrecorded & unpublished song written by singing legend Connee Boswell in the 1940s. This was finally recorded by Pangman in August 2019 in Toronto Canada with Drew Jurecka violin, & Nathan Hiltz guitar.
Blackbird
Do you know that ...
A singing male attracts the attention of a female. But she is especially interested in the color of the beak from which that song comes out. The brighter orange, the faster her heart will beat. The color reflects his health. Intense orange therefore means a great father-to-be. Carotenoids - derived from food - provide the color and play a role in the immune system. A paler yellow bill shows that the blackbird is in a health slump. During that period, the carotenoids play more of a role in the immune system and less is left for the beak. Once strengthened, the bill turns a nice orange again.
Galanthus nivalis (Amaryllidaceae) 033 21
As the name suggests, snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis) are one of the first flowers to bloom; depending on region, they appear from January, often while snow still blankets the ground. This low-growing plant tolerates partial shade to full sun. It is toxic to animals and humans, but it offers the benefit of being virtually immune to feeding by deer and other wildlife.
“There is a great independence, and a confident immunity to risk, in all drinks made out of cactus.”

Promoters of Echinacea believe it boosts the immune system. Seeing these first thing on a dewy morning certainly boosted my mood even without ingesting any of it.
Even Superman isn’t immune to social media! What was once the 19th century excavation pits for the South River Brick Company is now home to the Constitution Lakes Park that spreads over 125 acres in the industrial zone in Atlanta. The area is also home to an urban conservation effort to restore and repurpose areas within the city’s landscapes. I visited the park while attending a TNC meeting and hiked the interesting doll heads trail that has a number of art instillations made from found rubbish collected within the park during clean ups. I found these the funniest – or creepiest – your call!
You've answered my prayer for a worthless diamond in our carbon lives
You said you'd always be fine
And you said you'd never stop
Coming 'round in the dead of night
You said forever was unkind

For increasing my own immune system, I decided to hike to the Phoenix Mountain last Sunday where is full of
Pythoncide. :-) It happened to be a rainy day.
Xitou Nature Education Area or Xitou Bamboo Forest is a forest park in Lugu Village, Lugu Township, Nantou County, Taiwan. Xitou is derived from a Chinese word with the meaning of the origin of river. During the Japanese rule of Taiwan, the forest was used as an experimental forest for University of Tokyo students. Later after the handover of Taiwan from Japan to the Republic of China in 1945, the forest was declared a nature reserve and named Xitou Nature Education Area in 1970. On 11 September 2016, a 2,800-year old giant tree fell after long heavy rain, injuring three visitors.
Rainbow bee-eaters are always watching for flying insects, and can spot a potential meal up to 45 metres away. Once it spots an insect a bee-eater will swoop down from its perch and catch it in its long, slender, black bill and fly back to its perch. Bee-eaters will then knock their prey against their perch to eat it.
Even though rainbow bee-eaters are actually immune to the stings of bees and wasps, upon capturing a bee they will rub the insect's stinger against their perch to remove it, closing their eyes to avoid being squirted with poison from the ruptured poison sac.
Das Frauenbründl bei Glonn ist ein mystisches Marienheiligtum aus dem 17. Jh.
Ihr Ursprung als Wallfahrtsstätte geht wahrscheinlich auf das Pestjahr 1625 zurück.
Dem Wasser dieser heiligen Quelle, die direkt unter dem Kirchlein durchfließt, werden heilende Kräfte nachgesagt.
Nach alter Überlieferung hilft es bei Augenleiden, stärkt die Lebenskraft und das Immunsystem. Und es öffnet das 3. Auge. Ob man daran glaubt oder nicht, nach einem Besuch dieses Kraftortes fühlt man sich seltsam erfrischt.- Was jedoch sicherlich am immer kühlen Wasser liegt :-))
Rein juristisch gesehen ist es als “Kein Trinkwasser” deklariert, weil nicht vom Gesundheitsamt gemessen/freigegeben.
The Frauenbründl in Glonn is a mystical Marian shrine from the 17th century.
Its origin as a Sanctuary probably goes back to the year of the plague in 1625.
The water of this sacred spring, which flows just below the church, is said to have healing powers.
According to ancient tradition, it helps in eye disease, strengthens the vitality and the immune system. And it opens the 3rd Eye. Whether you believe in it or not, after a visit to this place makes you feel strange force refreshed.- But what certainly is the always cool water :-))
From a purely legal, it is declared "No drinking water" because not measured by the health department / released.
Hmmmm, all I wanted was a quiet weekend outside .....

Rote Träuble
Die Geschichte der Johannisbeere ist vergleichsweise jung, erst seit dem Mittelalter ist die Pflanze bekannt. Ihren Namen verdanken die Sträucher Johannes dem Täufer. Denn ihre Früchte reifen rund um seinen Gedenktag, dem Johannitag, am 24. Juni. Die Nonnen und Mönche setzten sie gegen Gicht und Rheuma ebenso wie gegen Skorbut ein. Rote Johannisbeeren sind kleine Vitaminbomben. Sie enthalten eine Reihe von Vitaminen in hohen Konzentrationen, fördern die Gesundheit durch ihren hohen Gehalt an Vitamin C, A, B, E und K sowie Mineralstoffen wie Calcium, Eisen, Kalium und Kupfer. Sie stärken das Immunsystem, verbessern Haut, Haare und Augen und können bei Erkältungen oder Venenleiden helfen.
Aber selbstverständlich auch Marmeladen und Gelees oder Kuchen mit Johannisbeeren sind total lecker,
The history of the currant is comparatively young, the plant has only been known since the Middle Ages. The shrubs owe their name to John the Baptist. Because their fruits ripen around his memorial day, St. John's Day, on June 24th. The nuns and monks used them against gout and rheumatism as well as against scurvy.
Red currants are small vitamin bombs. They contain a number of vitamins in high concentrations, promote health through their high content of vitamins C, A, B, E and K as well as minerals such as calcium, iron, potassium and copper. They strengthen the immune system, improve skin, hair and eyes and can help with colds or vein problems.
But of course jams and jellies or cakes with currants are also delicious,
Pale purple coneflowers are the only native purple coneflower on northern Iowa prairies. Notice how the narrow petals droop down and curl up underneath. This medicinal wildflower has been used for centuries to boost the immune system, fight infections and cure the common cold. This pair was in full bloom on the family fen farm.
"Was willst du dich denn hier genieren?
Mußt du nicht längst kolonisieren?" (Goethe, Faust II,5). The hesitancy of renaissance man to listen to the devil. Two LED lamps. The quote is taken from a scene where the Devil (successfully) persuades Faust to get rid of some old people who are in the way of his grandiose dreams.
Updated: I posted this over a couple of years ago initially. There are literally no words that fit my devastation of yesterday's Immunity decision that an American president is above the law and can do anything they want. This mainly affects the irresponsible and reckless man who insisted he could murder someone on 5th Avenue and get away with it. Well, his buddies who have in a single week also made it illegal to be homeless and legal for politicians to accept bribes also destroyed Democracy. Let's also not forget their ruling supporting Bump Stock weapons. My country is insane.
What I wrote initially two years ago:
There is just no way a handful of mainly old white men, some of whom should never have been appointed and have harmed women in their own lives. Other judges cared so little about America they were tied to the Capital Hill Insurrection....and they can't handle protestors on their lawns. Meanwhile, Christine Blasey Ford had to move 4 times because of threats to her life with no protections after she testified about what Brett Kavanaugh did to her. The Senate in my country moved quickly to protect his mysteriously paid off house lawn but they have done nothing to protect human rights. What a waste! We Americans who want progress in this world are still being held hostage by our so called elected leaders and it's no mistake that the first thing this bunch of criminals did is gerrymander and take away voting rights.

Pamukkale, which has been used as a spa since the second century BC, literally means “cotton castle” in Turkish.
The travertine features have their origins in the shifting of a fault in the valley of the Menderes river (between here and Denizli). As the fault shifted, very hot springs with a very high mineral content (notably chalk) arose at this location. Apart from the slightly radioactive minerals, the calcium and hydrogen carbonate react to create calcium carbonate (also known as travertine) and limestone. This is what gives Pamukkale its whiteness and created the pools. The Travertines of Pamukkale are a set of bizarre calcium cliff bathing pools overlooking the town of Pamukkale.
Many years ago, Greeks and Romans discovered the curative properties of the warm mineral springs that are found in Pamukkale. Predictably, these springs attracted droves of tourists to the place, but not only to seek therapeutic comforts. But also to see the magnificence of the hardened calcium bicarbonate cascading over the cliffs.
Known as the Cotton Cliffs, it is a famous and stunning calcium structure that earned a UNESCO World Heritage Site title in the 1970s.
World heritage site
Pamukkale is recognized as a World Heritage Site together with Hierapolis. Hierapolis-Pamukkale was made a World Heritage Site in 1988. It is a tourist attraction due to this status and its natural beauty.
The underground volcanic activity which causes the hot springs also forced carbon dioxide into a cave, which was called the Plutonium, which here means “place of the god Pluto”. This cave was used for religious purposes by priests of Cybele, who found ways to appear immune to the suffocating gas.
Protecting the thermal waters
The hotels built in the 1960s were demolished as they were draining the thermal waters into their swimming pools and caused damage to the terraces.The water supply to the hotels is restricted in an effort to preserve the overall site and to allow deposits to regenerate. Access to the terraces is not allowed and visitors are asked to follow the pathway.
*Working Towards a Better World
A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. - Albert Einstein
Understanding the laws of nature does not mean that we are immune to their operations. - David Gerrold

Both the leaves and petals of the nasturtium plant are packed with nutrition, containing high levels of vitamin C. It has the ability to improve the immune system, tackling sore throats, coughs, and colds, as well as bacterial and fungal infections.
These plants also contain high amounts of manganese, iron, flavonoids, and beta carotene.
Studies have shown that the leaves also have antibiotic properties, and suggest that they are the most effective prior to flowering.
So, make sure to eat yours before the first frost destroys them!

"So, who is going to suffer most from the economic and social costs of lockdown? The economically productive. And who are those few to die from the virus? Almost exclusively the economically unproductive! So, give them a fine label such as 'our most protected social bubble' and let the virus run free!"
The Basilica of Saint Mary Major, or church of Santa Maria Maggiore (also referred to as Santa Maria delle Nevi from its Latin origin Sancta Maria ad Nives), is one of the four major papal basilicas as well as one of the Seven Pilgrim Churches of Rome and the largest Marian church in Rome, Italy. Santa Maria Maggiore is the first Marian sanctuary in the Western world and the mother of all sanctuaries.
The basilica enshrines the venerated image of Salus Populi Romani, depicting the Blessed Virgin Mary as the health and protector of the Roman people, which was granted a Canonical coronation by Pope Gregory XVI on 15 August 1838 accompanied by his papal bull Cælestis Regina.
Pursuant to the Lateran Treaty of 1929 between the Holy See and Italy, the Basilica is in Italy and not the Vatican City. However, the Holy See fully owns the basilica, and Italy is legally obligated to recognise its full ownership thereof and to concede to it "the immunity granted by international law to the headquarters of the diplomatic agents of foreign states." In other words, the complex of buildings has a status somewhat similar to an embassy.
