A Public Service Tip!

When at the pharmacy this week, I asked the pharmacist what was the proper way of disposing of prescribed drugs that were unused or out of date? He gave me two pre-addressed envelopes and this was new to me? Is it to you? 


With instructions inside. You send the Rx containers with any personal information blacked out, and do not over fill the envelope.
.

The envelopes are well designed with a pull off strip so the envelope can be permanently sealed for safety.


Do not take to your pharmacy, but instead, drop off at your local post office, or 
hand to your postman. That's it, safe for all!




A male Mandrill does not need a crown to display authority. 😘
Its face announces status before a single sound is made.
In the forests of Central Africa, researchers studying mandrills discovered that dominant males often develop brighter red facial and rump coloration, higher testosterone levels, and stronger scent signals released from glands on the chest.
When a male loses status, some of that intensity can gradually fade.
For mandrills, power is written directly onto the body.
The colors themselves are extraordinary.
The vivid reds are linked to blood flow and hormones, while the striking blue tones are created through microscopic structural patterns beneath the skin that scatter light in a unique way.
Every member of the troop notices the signals.
Females use them to evaluate mates.
Rival males use them to judge strength and dominance.
In mandrill society, status is not hidden quietly in behavior alone.
It is displayed openly in one of the most dramatic faces found anywhere in the animal kingdom.

The Killdeer

Killdeer frequently pretend to have a broken wing by fluttering along the ground as if they are injured. However, their playacting is actually a clever strategy to lure predators and potential threats (including humans!) away from their nests.
