Something eerily familiar happened in KwaZulu-Natal's Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Park in Africa recently.
The adult elephants were taken away and the orphaned youngsters were left to fend for themselves.
The youngsters started the path to sexual maturity. The young boys were going into lengthy 'musths' Dru Samia Vikings Jersey , as a dog would go into heat, much longer than a normal elephant in a normal setting.
The boys ganged together. They started raping and killing white rhinos, an endangered species. They were displaying extreme aggression. The park authorities were very concerned.
Someone had the idea to bring in ten adult bulls to "straighten out" the gang of elephant thugs.
Sure enough, the mature males put the band of so called 'delinquent juveniles' in their place. The adults were reintroduced Alexander Mattison Vikings Jersey , and life turned back to normal. No more killings. The elephants and rhinos were at peace again.
Obviously, strong male and female presence's are needed in these elephants lives. The young elephants needed the adults from when they were defenseless babies through the time they were in their elephant 'teenage' years.
In the meantime, over in the United States of America there was another gang related murder in your city. Another fatherless, semi or fully orphaned teenager shot a man and then reported back to his or her gang of 'delinquent juveniles'.
Perhaps we should take a lesson from the elephants.

Here we provide a brief review of wine barrel art from its origins in the old world folk-art of barrel carving.
Wine barrels have been around for thousands of years. Nearly 4000 years ago in Babylon (in modern day Iraq) wood casks were first used for storing and transporting. The wine barrel we know today was most likely developed by the Celts around 400 BC. They had migrated to what is now the Burgundy region of France, where they used techniques employing heat Garrett Bradbury Vikings Jersey , water and pressure adapted from ship-building to shape wood staves into water-tight barrels. The conquering Romans embraced these barrels and used them to transport a great variety of bulk goods throughout their empire, spreading knowledge of barrel making all across Europe.
The use of barrels to store and transport most bulk goods gradually gave way to other more efficient methods, but their use in storing and aging wine and spirits is going stronger today than ever. The reason is their unique ability to impart the tannins and flavors to wine and spirits, while regulating the opposing flows of oxygen and liquid.
Since wood eventually decomposes Dalvin Cook Vikings Jersey , the earliest examples of wine barrel art are lost. Only some of the biggest, best and more recent survive to this day. Many of them are in Germany, where wine-making on a large scale co-existed with the presence of highly skilled wood carvers. Some of the most well-known examples are in the Heidelberg Castle.

was a sign of status for wineries to show off elaborate barrel carvings on their large wine tanks, as well as on their smaller barrels in those days. They acted as signs at wineries Mike Hughes Vikings Jersey , as well as decorations inside, depicting a broad range of subjects - such as the owner favorite vintage or pastime, to landscapes and wildlife scenes, to bacchanalian celebrations.
The ornate barrel carvings in the famous Achaia Clauss winery outside Patras Greece are another example. This winery was founded by Gustav Clauss around 1860 Kirk Cousins Vikings Jersey , who brought with him to Greece from Bavaria his love of winemaking and the barrel carving tradition. A typically ornate carving is shown here, with a distinctly Greek theme.

barrel carving tradition nearly faded away until being revived by a handful of new world artisans. The beautiful Sebastiani Winery in Sonoma California is home to the largest modern day barrel carving collection. It includes hundreds of hand-carved barrels of all sizes. There are also many carved doors, archways and posts and beams inside the winery. It is all the work of one man, Earle Brown Adam Thielen Vikings Jersey , who dedicated much of his life to this craft under owner August Sebastiani patronage. Here are some examples of his work.

Tokyo Jungle seems to be a adorable, low-budget oddity – the cute motion game regarding Pomeranians as well as baby the baby birds, wandering close to a human-free Tokyo. The idea of it's cuteness dissipates quickly: despite using simplified Dru Samia Youth Jersey , thankfully detail-free animation for that act, Tokyo Jungle is really a necessarily nasty game regarding animals surviving just like they perform in character, eating additional animals as well as doing their finest to prevent getting consumed. The Pomeranians halted being cute the very first time I noticed two of these team as much as drag a huge dead kitty home.
