Indonesian Rice Fish Culture
Rice-fish culture involves farmers introducing fish into their rice fields .This technique is good for both the fish and the rice. Safely hidden from birds, the fish thrive in the dense rice plants, while they in turn provide a source of fertilizer with their droppings, eat insect pests and help to circulate oxygen around the rice field. Farmers tell us that keeping fish in rice fields can increase rice yields by up to 10% – plus they have the additional supplies of fish. (Source)

Frequently I encounter non Native folks who tell me they think reservations are some form of reparatoins to Natives from the US government. I even had someone close to me tell me they thought reservations were places to “reserve” our cultures.
Where I’m from (South Dakota) reservations were concentration camps where they sent us to die after they stole and colonized all of the land every US citizen occupies.
In the early SD Rez days our ppl had to get permission from district agents (white settler men) to get food, fix our homes, or even leave our community to travel to another community on our Rez to visit relatives. We couldn’t hunt cuz they killed millions of our buffalo.
If we didn’t get permission from the white settler agent we couldn’t eat, fix our homes or visit relatives because we would be violating US law & could be arrested. Also our cultures & ceremonies were illegal under US law until the Indian Religious Freedom Act in 1978.So plz educate the ppl you love and care abt because everyone in the USA is living in an illegal settler colony, Indigenous ppl survived their genocide & we’re her to say these settlers never gave af abt us & never will.

An artificial womb used to help premature lambs fully develop after birth. This study is led by Alan Flake at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania. According to an interesting comment by Winterplatypus:
“This is all about finding a way so the baby doesn’t have to breathe. Before you are born you get oxygen from the placenta via the umbilical cord.
Unborn babies cant drown because their lungs are already full of fluid, but if there is a problem with the placenta they can die from not having oxygen. When you are born, the placenta stops working and you have to start breathing.
The lambs don’t drown because they are transferred to the bag before they start breathing (before they are born), they still get oxygenated blood from their umbilical cord. The big tube attached to the bag has the umbilical cord inside it, it goes off to a machine that adds oxygen.
One of the main reasons why they are trying to develop this technology is because sometimes the fluid surrounding the baby gets infected with bacteria. When that happens the doctors have to get the baby out even if it’s too early. The baby suddenly has to start breathing but its lungs haven’t developed properly yet, so they get a lot of problems relating to breathing. It’s kind of a big deal because there was no alternative to breathing before.”

Amazing. Absolutely amazing.
i thought they were vacuum sealing a live lamb :DD:(((
my mind just got blown a little thinking about the possibility of this technology ultimately being applicable to humans

“…last year this photograph of children looking at their smartphones by Rembrandt’s ‘The Night Watch’ in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam [went viral.] It was often accompanied by outraged, dispirited comments such as “a perfect metaphor for our age,” “the end of civilization” or “a sad picture of our society”.
…It turns out that the Rijksmuseum has an app that, among other things, contains guided tours and further information about the works on display. As part of their visit to the museum, the children, who minutes earlier had admired the art and listened attentively to explanations by expert adults, had been instructed to complete an assignment by their school teachers, using, among other things, the museum’s excellent smartphone app….
The tragic thing is that this — the truth — will never go viral. So, I wonder, what is more likely to bring about the death of civilization, children using smartphones to learn about art or the willful ignorance of adults who are too quick to make assumptions?” José Picardo, Medium

Tattoo health warning for people with weakened immune systems
Getting a tattoo if you have a weakened immune system could put you at risk of complications, doctors have warned. The caution comes after a woman with cystic fibrosis and lung transplants developed thigh and knee pain after having body art inked on her leg.
Doctors say those taking immunosuppressant drugs should take precautions if considering body art. These medicines are often given after an organ transplant or to treat autoimmune conditions such as Crohn’s disease, lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. Others who may have weak immune systems include those with chronic long-term conditions such as diabetes.
“We know that in those individuals, the risk of infections is higher when you have any procedure, whether it is planned surgery or tattoo or piercing, so we would say in those instances that you should consider carefully – speak to your doctor if you are not sure and make sure that the person you are getting the tattoo done from is suitably qualified and follows all practice to keep everything sterile,” said William Wilson, a specialist registrar in trauma and orthopaedics at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Glasgow, and a co-author of the report.
