As I was switching channels a little while ago I I landed on the Travel Channel where they were hunting snapping turtles for food and next the History Channel where folks in Louisiana were filling their quotas for "harvesting" alligators. While I understand the necessity for wildlife management once humans are involved in ecosystems, I think its so sad that we through the media sensationalize the killing of creatures so humans can have soup and leather. Alll of these creatures have been on the earth between 100 and 200+ million years. The only thing they have done all those millions of years was to live their own lives...Makes me sad.The picture here is of a Green iguana. Green iguana (Iguana iguana). Iguanas are native to Mexico and Central and South America. They are prevelant in the pet trade but they should not be kept as "pets." Lizards have been on the earth for 250 million years.

SUWON AIR BASE — Female Soldiers in the 6th Battalion, 52nd Air Defense Artillery met in Suwon Gym for the unit’s female mentorship program.
The training began with education on sexual assault prevention and response, followed by light stretching and upper body exercising.
First Lt. James Eide, who led the mentorship session, conducted a class on Cross fit, combining several exercises. Before doing the cross fit, he taught them theory about how to do exercise efficiently and when is the good time for exercise. He also taught about nutrition, explaining ways to maintain and improve health by dividing nutrition into fat, protein, vitamin, and mineral categories. After the classroom instruction, a workout followed.
Private First Class Nancy Cumberledge found the training worthwhile, and especially liked its emphasis on life values and good health.
