Alternatives to Being Rescued by Dolphins

Posted by SmallVille | 5:20 PM | 0 comments »


Apparently there is a big debate in the scientific community. Swimmers and surfers from around the world with stories that would otherwise have been 'saved' for the dolphins and scientists face difficulties in accepting this. If someone said "I was half a mile from the shore and got into trouble, but then came a dolphin, swam under me and lifted me up, scientists can not agree with him. They do not believe that the Dolphins are quite able to establish that people who have problems with planning and then a sort of "redemption." Why not? Dolphins have brains that are almost as big as ours. They communicate through a language grunts, whistles and Hoots. This is a social animal, like people, and biologists say they live in colonies, that we need to develop a large brain. Oh, apart from the fact that dolphins are mammals water and land mammals - Oh, and do not have weapons. It does so stupid?

Very interesting program on BBC last night gave two well-documented examples. In both cases, there are many witnesses, so that there was no dispute about what actually happened. In the first case, a group of swimmers were on the ship in the Red Sea. He came across a school of dolphins began to swim with them. After a while it was dolphins and humans, in addition to the rose on the boat again. It is a pity that the man had been attacked by sharks. I took one bite, and people on the boat I saw a big puddle of blood in the water, and went back to look. Before I came to him, he saw that the dolphins appeared again, and seemed to swim in a circle around the victim, as if to protect themselves from sharks.

Whoah, say scientists. We do not know. With that the Dolphins are the chains? No, say the people in white coats. All saw that there were witnesses. But we do not know dolphins thought to himself, 'this poor unfortunate people, we must defend it. "No, said a highly qualified person. It is possible that the Dolphins have a circle of wagons" instinct. When the sharks, which are grouped for mutual protection. It could include this type, because - well, maybe what we mistakenly one of their own. Pardon? Dolphins, you say, do not think things, but do not know the difference between the legs and tail of the fish?

In the second case, which occurred outside of the North Island of New Zealand, a group of dolphins surrounded the group of swimmers, in fact, qualified life guard. Package dolphins swam around the group, keeping them together for more than half an hour, when there is no danger or problem around. It is said that the experience of life guards, was very unusual. Only forty-five minutes that saw the end of a great white shark. Ah, say the scientists, would not interpret it! You can not talk about the dolphins knew the shark was there, knew the swimmers were in danger, and more to protect them. Well, what can you say? Well, maybe, "Dolphin rescued us' means that the mammal with fins was thinking too much, but you know, you could say:" What is a dolphin saved our lives. "It's true.

Because at the end of the day - especially at the end of a long day on the water, avoiding get eaten - whether that occurs through the heads of the dolphins. The facts in the two previous cases are: (I) swimmers were in danger of sharks, (II), to escape death because they were dolphins. It really does not matter if the air-breathing mammals swimming recognize us as a companion species, as well as to realize our clumsy attempts to swim often attracts sharks, which I think the fish is in trouble, (that is a fact of 'Jaws ". Look again -- this part where Richard Dreyfous discuss with the Mayor on the beach).

No, scientists have problems with the old chestnuts "What is actually happening?" What this means for them, "What do you think?" Many of us in the envelope. For example, the fact that only five per cent of older people in Britain and the United States reaches retirement age with enough money to last track. Most of us eventually flat broke and retired. It's a fact. It really does not matter what was going through our heads that our intentions were, what was or what was expected. But we worry about the mental processes. Why? In recent years, the weather threw everything at us - storms, floods, brush fires, snow and blizzards - and do not see anything. These things. However, it would be good to learn something here?

It really does not matter if dolphins circle swimmers, because they believed that they were dolphins. The fact that people sometimes' saved 'in action near the dolphins, that's all. Unfortunately, here on Earth, if we are poor, frustrated, and not to achieve our ambitions and fear the future, then one thing is clear. We had better start rowing, and the here and now, there is no chance that we will save anything, especially dolphins.

Dolphins of Taiji - A Murder Suicide

Posted by SmallVille | 5:16 PM | 0 comments »


With great zeal, that the noble fishermen, spear held up, do their hunting. Although not wearing traditional dress or in force at the Thatched small canoes his ancestors, about 26 men to board vessels on the edge of its steep and rocky shores. This year, as in all years, a small coastal town of Taiji on the southern tip of Japan's major islands to prepare for what some see as the most barbaric and brutal stations. Despite the fact that traditions sometimes get harsh realities of our softer and more prosaic life, even that seems a bit tough and honorable character of the people who led us in haiku, and the serene sounds of nature worship Shinto. Networks and loud sounds are used to these creatures of the coral, and consider on poise and intelligence and the like of copper, the meat moist in a shallow bay, where they were beaten, gutted and spear. Obscene taste Gafsa spikes are used by men as molotilnye water, a knife, break through the gears and writhing beasts. Lifting their ships, laden with meat and death, disembodied companion dead mouse calls. These past practices to reflect on the fact that most of our closest relative (the swimming kind).

This did not go unnoticed. The avalanche of advertising and the required public that met with the fishermen and their great tradition. Many in the conservation, protection of animal and environmental activists swum through the dolphins. In an attempt to bring such vessel and the bottle-nose, many of them were found at the intersection of the end of a spear, and at the end of his life.

Thus, it is a traumatic experience, that our values were violently attacked Western environmentalists and animal rights activists. "C. Hamanaka, the mayor and the people of Taiji

If the honorable Hamanaka-san was terrified at the noise in the turbulent waters chavezjua blood, he might want to turn away, his eyes cast geisha type, when the boat arrived in port with fins and wings, and the mercurial wrath of the world community.

And so we turn to the great irony, symbolism GEST. If you like this, proto-Dolphin, with all the pressure of water Darwanism, were employed by the fingers as people caring for a single-digit secret of these fishermen and their colleagues suicide be purchased and consumed poisoned meat they take such a warmth to participate.

ScienceDirect.com shows that, in accordance with the Japanese Ministry of Health has found that levels of mercury found in the liver and other organs, delicious and coveted "exceeds the allowable level of about 5000 times, and the consumption of only 0.15 g of liver, and gives the possibility of acute intoxication T-Hg (mercury concentration), even after a consumer product. "

Thus, the fishing village of Taiji is located in an underground satire. The act of thumbing his nose at the conviction, conventions and customs, a victim of modern society is literally the death of them. Very poetic. In order to prevent the disappearance of their traditional fishing rights, which continue to kill dolphins, which spells death for the villagers. If you see this as an outsider, like every man, woman and child in this pathetic, despicable bit of land, it would be lauded as the most insane and suicidal Socaratic-venture partner in the error involves a great man of history.

However, according to the mayor, a large defense philosophy, in his message to Taiji, speaking at the International Whaling Commission and other critics of the victim ... "We are proud of our heritage and want to pass on to the next generation." (See mercury poisoning = no next generation.) "We believe that we know more about our sea in Taiji those who live hundreds or thousands of miles away from us."

Speaking on behalf of the dolphins has not yet been proven posthumously.

Sharks and Dolphins at Work

Posted by SmallVille | 5:12 PM | 0 comments »


Of the four letter words at our disposal in the English language, "work" may be one of the most unpleasant.

You can read this your morning coffee, preparing to start the work week. If you're one of the most fortunate of us to do something in life that you really enjoy.

You career.

Or maybe in the group, which makes it, for life, only to put bread on the table.

Do you have a job.

If you have a job or a career, most of us spend most of our waking hours.

Handling the many stresses that can be a tedious experience. One of the most difficult job sfressors transaction card relationships. Whether it is the boss, a colleague or attitude in the workplace can be a source of great stress.

Let's look at two different ways to handle stressful relationships in the workplace.

One of the most useful distinction to make a relationship work is the difference between dolphins and sharks. Let me explain with the help of metaphors. When you go to the beach is usually quite safe to swim in the water with dolphins. Swimming with sharks, on the other hand, it is very dangerous. This problem is sometimes when you are in the water can be very difficult to understand the difference between dolphins and sharks.

In production, the dolphins of people you can trust. Sharks are the people who are, at best, can not be trusted, and in the worst case, you should beware.

Traits of dolphins

• say what they will do.

• You can be confident in.

• There is a group of players.

• Their behavior matches their words.

• Take responsibility for mistakes.

• You can rely on.

Features shark

• does not hold.

• You can not be confident in.

• yourself.

• Their behavior does not match his words.

• blaming others.

• can not be trusted.

The most dangerous type of shark is this guy who behaves like a dolphin. If I can mix my animal metaphors, I think I can explain what I mean.

There is a story about beaver is preparing to cross a river. Just as he was preparing to cross, a scorpion, who wants to walk to the end. In the beaver had been refused, saying that the scorpion sting and die. Refused and the scorpion promised not to cause harm to beavers, but only he would take it through a river. On the beaver, an affable chap, and confidence that allows you to scan a scorpion on his back, and swam in a river. Just as the beaver came to shore, the scorpion Stung him and fell. As die Beavers set, he asked why the scorpion has broken his promise. In the scorpion replied:

"I'm a scorpion - which is what I do."

And what can the working relationship.
