M. Leonard 9/5 There are over eight million animal species on our planet, and rabbits may be the cutest of them all. It’s no wonder people love keeping these cuddly creatures as pets. Thinking about raising one of your own? Before you do, read up on these important rabbit facts! Rabbits have many appealing qualities that make them such great pets. When they are happy, you’ll know it by the binky, a special move that a bunny makes. When a rabbit does one, it runs around, jumps up, and does a twist in the air. Contented bunnies also chatter their teeth together in the rabbit version of a cat’s purr, especially when being petted. Surprised? You may be even more surprised to learn that bunnies can be house-trained. You can teach a pet rabbit to use a litter box, just like a cat. This means that there’s no need to keep it in a cage—a good thing because bunnies are easily bored. They’d rather run around the house, have lots of toys to play with, and hang out with their humans. And since they clean themselves several times a day, you won’t need to worry about bathing them. 我們的星球上有超過八百萬種動物,兔子可能是當中最可愛的。難怪人們喜歡養這些惹人愛的動物來當寵物。考慮養一隻嗎?在你行動之前,仔細研讀這些關於兔子的 重要真相吧! 兔子有很多吸引人的特質,讓牠們成為非常棒的寵物。牠們高興時,你會由「兔子舞」知道,這是兔子會做的一種特別動作。兔子做這個動作時,牠會跑來跑去、跳躍並且在空中扭動。開心的兔子還會發出牙齒咯咯響的聲音,就像是兔子版的貓咪呼嚕聲,尤其是在被撫摸時。 驚訝嗎?知道兔子可以被訓練不在室內便溺你可能會更驚訝。你可以教寵物兔使用寵物砂盆,就像貓咪一樣。這表示你不需要把兔子關在籠子裡——這是好事,因為兔子很容易感到無聊。牠們寧願在屋子裡跑來跑去,有很多玩具可以玩,以及和照顧牠們的人在一起。還有由於牠們一天會自己清潔身體好幾次,你不必擔心還要幫牠們洗澡。 9/6 If you do decide to raise a rabbit, remember that they are not starter pets, and they are not a good choice for young children. Also, you’ll have to “bunny-proof” your home. Rabbits’ teeth never stop growing, so they like to chew on things. Be sure to provide your rabbit with hard wooden chew toys, and keep electrical wires out of reach! When it comes to feeding your pet rabbit, think green. The idea that rabbits live on carrots is just plain wrong. Rabbits in the wild eat plants like grass and clover, and your bunny should, too. Additionally, keep in mind that some rabbits grow very large. The Flemish Giant, for instance, can reach 75 centimeters in length and can weigh up to 10 kilograms. Know all the details before taking a bunny home. Above all, be sure that you want this responsibility. A rabbit isn’t a cute toy to be bought today and forgotten tomorrow. It will need your care for all 8 to 12 years of its life. In return, you will gain a loving animal friend who will make your days brighter. Now, bring on the bunnies! 如果你真的決定要養兔子,記得牠們不是入門寵物,對幼童來說也不是個好選擇。而且,你還得替家裡做好「防兔準備」。兔子的牙齒會不斷生長,所以牠們喜歡咬東西。一定要給你的兔子堅硬木質的咀嚼玩具,而且把電線收在兔子碰不到的地方! 說到餵食寵物兔,就要考慮綠色食物。兔子只吃紅蘿蔔是完全錯誤的觀念。在野地生活的兔子會吃草和苜蓿這類的植物,你的兔子也應該如此。 此外,記住有些兔子會長得非常大。例如佛來米希巨型兔可以長到七十五公分且重達十公斤。帶一隻兔子回家之前要先知道所有的詳情。 最重要的是,確定你想要這份責任。兔子不是今天買了、明天就忘了的可愛玩具。牠會需要你照顧牠八到十二年的壽命。你會得到一個讓你日子更開心的可愛動物朋友作為回報。現在,放「兔」過來吧!

Sea Change

BOOK EXCERPT:

As climate change, resource overexploitation, and pollution leave ever more visible marks, ocean ecosystems, economies, and people are all affected. With coasts on the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic, Canada faces a formidable challenge in building resilient, sustainable oceans and supporting the communities that rely on them. Sea Change reports on the OceanCanada Partnership, a multidisciplinary project to take stock of what we know about Canada’s oceans, construct possible scenarios for coastal regions, and create a national dialogue and vision. Three themes emerge from this impressive synthesis of social, cultural, economic, and environmental research: ocean change, access to ocean resources, and ocean governance. Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars and practitioners focus on finding solutions to rapid environmental and social transformation, outlining the implications for legislation and offering policy recommendations. Increasingly, civil society will have to advocate for oceans, and Sea Change will empower the voices of those who take up that task.

Mussolini S War

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

WINNER OF THE 2021 DUKE OF WELLINGTON MEDAL FOR MILITARY HISTORY A DAILY TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE YEAR 2020 From an acclaimed military historian, the definitive account of Italy's experience of the Second World War While staying closely aligned with Hitler, Mussolini remained carefully neutral until the summer of 1940. Then, with the wholly unexpected and sudden collapse of the French and British armies, Mussolini declared war on the Allies in the hope of making territorial gains in southern France and Africa. This decision proved a horrifying miscalculation, dooming Italy to its own prolonged and unwinnable war, immense casualties and an Allied invasion in 1943 which ushered in a terrible new era for the country. John Gooch's new book is the definitive account of Italy's war experience. Beginning with the invasion of Abyssinia and ending with Mussolini's arrest, Gooch brilliantly portrays the nightmare of a country with too small an industrial sector, too incompetent a leadership and too many fronts on which to fight. Everywhere - whether in the USSR, the Western Desert or the Balkans - Italian troops found themselves against either better-equipped or more motivated enemies. The result was a war entirely at odds with the dreams of pre-war Italian planners - a series of desperate improvizations against Allies who could draw on global resources and against whom Italy proved helpless. This remarkable book rightly shows the centrality of Italy to the war, outlining the brief rise and disastrous fall of the Italian military campaign. 'It is hard to imagine a finer account, both of the sweep of Italy's wars, and of the characters caught up in them' Caroline Moorhead, The Guardian

Called Upstairs

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

A silent clapboard church on a barren Arctic landscape is more than just a place of worship: it is a symbol that can evoke fraught reactions to the history of Christian colonization. In the Inuit homeland of Northern Labrador, however, that church is more likely to resonate with the voices of a well-rehearsed choir accompanied by an accomplished string orchestra or spirited brass bands. The Inuit making this music are stewards of a tradition of complex sacred music introduced by Moravian missionaries in the late 1700s – a tradition that, over time, these musicians transformed into a cultural expression genuinely their own. Called Upstairs is the story of this Labrador Inuit music practice. It is not principally a story of forced adoption but of adaptation, mediation, and agency, exploring the transformation of a colonial artifact into an expression of Inuit aesthetic preference, spirituality, and community identity. Often overlaying the Moravian traditions with defining characteristics drawn from pre-contact expressive culture, Inuit musicians imbued this once-alien music with their own voices. Told through archival documents, oral histories of Inuit musicians, and the music itself, Called Upstairs tracks the emergence of this Labrador Moravian music tradition across two and a half centuries. Tom Gordon presents a chronicle of Inuit leadership and agency in the face of colonialism through a unique lens. In this time of reconciliation, this story offers a window into Inuit resilience and the power of a culture’s creative expressions.

Social Media Fundamental Rights And Courts

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

This volume examines European and national higher-court decisions on social media from the perspective of fundamental rights and judicial dialogue. While the challenges social media poses for public policy and regulation have been widely discussed, the role of courts in this evolving legal area, especially from a fundamental-rights standpoint, has hitherto remained largely underexplored. This volume probes the contribution of national and European judiciaries to the protection of fundamental rights in a social media setting and delves into patterns of dialogue and interaction between domestic courts, the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), and between the CJEU and the ECtHR. The book specifically examines the extent and ways in which national and European judges incorporate fundamental rights reasoning in their social media rulings. It also investigates the nature and breadth of the use of European supranational case law in domestic judicial assessment and analyses the engagement of the CJEU and the ECtHR with the other’s case law. In doing so, the book instils jurisprudential dynamics into the study of social media law and regulation, exploring in particular the effects of European constitutionalism on the shaping and enforcement of fundamental rights in a social media context. Written by emerging and established experts in the field, this book will be essential reading for scholars of comparative, European and constitutional law, as well as those with a particular interest in digital technologies and social media.

Evidence Contestation

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

This book examines the practices of contesting evidence in democratically constituted knowledge societies. It provides a multifaceted view of the processes and conditions of evidence criticism and how they determine the dynamics of de- and re-stabilization of evidence. Evidence is an essential resource for establishing claims of validity, resolving conflicts, and legitimizing decisions. In recent times, however, evidence is being contested with increasing frequency. Such contestations vary in form and severity – from questioning the interpretation of data or the methodological soundness of studies to accusations of evidence fabrication. The contributors to this volume explore which actors, for what reasons and to what effect, question evidence in fields such as the biological, environmental and health sciences. In addition to actors inside academia, they examine the roles of various other players, including citizen scientists, counter-experts, journalists, patients, consumers and activists. The contributors tackle questions of how disagreements are framed and how they are used to promote vested interests. By drawing on methodological and theoretical approaches from a wide range of fields, this book provides a much-needed perspective on how evidence criticism influences the development and state of knowledge societies and their political condition. Evidence Contestation will appeal to scholars and advanced students working in philosophy of science, epistemology, bioethics, science and technology studies, the history of science and technology and science communication.

Monitoring Food Waste And Loss In The Nordic Region Definitions Methods And Measures For Prevention

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Available online: https://pub.norden.org/temanord2021-504/ The background for the project is that EU Commission has introduced new regulations and policies for food waste prevention and monitoring. Sweden and Denmark link their reporting closely to the waste framework directive while Finland and Norway base their most data collection on voluntary reporting. Norway and Finland report on a detailed level and estimate impact like costs and GHG-emissions. All Nordic countries have necessary detail in data that are measured to fulfil the requirements set by the purpose of food waste monitoring program. Halving food waste by 2030 calls for radical changes in the food chain. These radical changes require four dimensions: technology push, societal pull, market pull, and regulatory push. Based on these four dimensions, we have classified measures to reduce food waste into four topics: Policy instruments, changing social norms, nudging and changing practices, and intelligent technology and new products & business models.
