"Started studying and a lot of the time when students come to study Hellenistic and they've been exposed to nothing but modern astrology, one of the things that they'll come in with and that I was exposed to and I first started studying too, is this idea that the birth chart is nothing but a possibilities that it's just kind of a set of possibilities or potentials. That's the other word I was thinking of. In what we're talking about with the archetypal combinations, it can almost sound like what we're saying is that, well, it's total potential when you Saturn's gonna come in can join Venus in your birth chart. That's just a, there's just a mandala of possibilities and potentialities and it sort of rests on your shoulder to get the right, get it right or something like that. Maybe we can speak a little bit about that idea and where that comes from and just your thoughts about that. Yeah, I think in late 20th century astrology and the generation of astrologers, especially that came into the field in the 1960s and 1970s when the integration of modern depth psychology, especially the work of Carl Jung was fully integrated into astrology in the generation that took up rudyard's work, especially with astrologers like Liz green and Howard support us and other actually a number of other whole group of modern astrologers. They were so because they were integrating counseling dynamics into astrology, they were so concerned about and so worried about not doing harm psychologically to people by instilling them with false fears or scenarios or other things like that that would sort of disturb their mental state that they almost went too far in presenting an almost like pollyanna type view of every possible placement, which to a certain extent that was good that they sort of talked us down as a tradition from some of the worst case things, like always considering Saturn to be negative, which it wasn't necessarily even in traditional astrology or always interpreting certain things as extremely negative. There was such an extreme trend to never say anything negative that it went too far and we really saw the opposite end of that or the repercussions of that in instances like in 2020, for example, where there were a lot of strollers that predicted be a tough time for various reasons and went further or not as far than others, but one of the things I really learned from that time period in watching the community was just the downside of, if an astrologer has a philosophical, makes a philosophical choice never to say anything negative, then there are going to be some people afterwards when a negative event does happen that say, why didn't you tell me? Why did you withhold that information or why did you try to spin it in such a constructive light when

"Going to read poetry on the show, and I promise it's good. I'll set this up. I'm going to read a poem by Rudyard Kipling. Rudyard Kipling is the author of the jungle book. That's what he is most well known, but he wrote a lot of beautiful things. And this poem has always been my favorite poem. And once I read it, you will see why, because I see it as giving us great hope, although he wrote it, you can tell it was right after World War I, I believe, which he participated in. And you can see that he was discouraged in writing it. It's a dark poem, but the title of it is called the gods of the copy book headings. And the reason I'm going to set this up is because you need to understand that title first. And what it was is in the UK, schoolchildren would copy down universal truths in order to practice their penmanship, but also in order to absorb some of these universal truths. So it would be things as simple as water is wet. Fire burns, things like that. But it would also be more expansive sentences that were just, you know, things that were important and sort of foundational western ideas of truth. Like indisputable truths such as those. And in this poem, he compares the gods of the copybook headings, and he actually quotes a little bit of scripture loosely in here. To what he calls the gods of the marketplace. And he talks about we want to abandon all of these truths for the fancy and fanciful things that the gods of the marketplace promise us. So without further ado, you have my undivided attention. Here is my dramatic reading of the gods of the copy book headings by everybody tune in. I said he's going to read poetry. As I pass through my incarnations in every age and race, I make my proper prostrations to the gods of the marketplace. Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall, and the gods of the copybook headings I notice outlast them all. We were living in trees when they met us. They showed us each in turn that water would certainly wet us as fire would certainly burn. But we found them lacking in uplift, vision and breadth of mind, so we left them to teach the guerrillas while we followed the march of mankind. We moved as the spirit listed, they never altered their pace, being neither cloud nor windborn like the gods of the marketplace. But they always caught up with our progress and presently word would come that a tribe had been wiped off its ice field or the lights had gone out in Rome. With the hopes that our world is built on, they were utterly out of touch. They denied that the moon was stilton. They denied she was even Dutch. They denied that wishes were horses. They denied that a pig had wings. So we worshiped the gods of the market, who promised these beautiful things. When the Cambrian measures were forming, they promised perpetual peace. They swore if we gave them our weapons that the wars of the tribes would cease. But when we disarmed they sold us and delivered us bound to our foe and the gods of the copybook heading said, stick to the devil you know. On the first feminine sandstones we were promised the fuller life, which started by loving our neighbor and ended by loving his wife. Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith than the gods of the copybook heading said, the wages of sin is death.

"Yeah, that was yeah, he hated hated the normal stuff. He actually was vice president and this in the book he was vice president a little bit for a little while. And they kind of kicked him out of the job. He was like, yeah, you know, dictating letters and stuff like that. They kind of abbreviated his son. And to college, 'cause it was one of those deals where they kind of pass it around, you know, the different people and it sort of alternates between people and he was like, oh, good grief, you know? And my turn. So he didn't really enjoy that. But I think. It has a lot to do with, like I said, just sort of the daily walk. With him. Because he understood because he had been on both sides of the debate. And one of the things I want to mention the Oxford socratic club because he welcomed atheists and agnostics to that meeting. And as I mentioned in the book, there were some meetings that had 80 to a hundred people in attendance. To watch these debates and to sort of soak up the wisdom of what was being said. And he welcomed that, right? I mean, we're kind of in a time right now where people don't want to hear divisive opinions and they want to get really upset about it. And the truth is, you know, we understand each other better when we listen. Instead of talk too much. And so he was, I think he exemplified that they said he was always incredibly courteous. Even to people who wildly disagreed with this premise, you know, whatever. They said he was always a gentleman. He never got angry or belligerent. You know, he was just, he always just sort of lived what he believed. And that's really what made the difference. I think because he was so obedient. He was asked to do a lot of things he did not feel comfortable doing. He didn't want to be on the radio. But he did, because he you know, he was actually on a show called brain trust. That was on the BBC. A couple times. Dorothy Cyrus, I was on that show. Yeah, so he was and he was people just loved him. I mean, people love listen to him. He was just a smart guy, and there's so many stories and I put a couple in the book of where he would be out somewhere. I think I talked about the cab driver talking about him. Sitting at a restaurant with like a bunch of night truckers and just like bang in the middle of this huge G following crowd, making jokes and, you know, because he was from the working class in Belfast, you know, had that, you know, the common touch is Rudyard Kipling, which I, you know, and he was able to speak with people on all levels. And that this increased his influence because he never thought in a many people said this, he never thought he was better than anybody else. Yeah. So he embodied the scripture, right? And what it is to be a believer. And I think that was, he would still say, I mean, if we could examine him right now, I mean, he'd probably be like, nah, that's hogwash. He probably like, no crystal. No..

"So. I think I may have also so those are the correlations with that I think rudyard's picking up on and then they get played out, but rob hand and Sequoia and acker and Everton they're able they're starting to differentiate like Pluto with the sun, Pluto with moon, Pluto with the different planets. Pluto with different signs and houses. And those are very important advances in our understanding of Pluto. Right. So that brings us eventually and we'll circle back to some of the things that occurred around the time of the discovery, but I just wanted to provide some context before we go into discussing those in detail. Your next passage, which is when you summarized basically the significations of Pluto, very broadly about what the archetype of Pluto is do you feel like reading this passage? So Pluto is associated with the principle of elemental power, depth and intensity. With that which compels empowers and intensifies whatever it touches, sometimes to overwhelming and catastrophic extremes. It's associated with the primordial instincts libidinal and aggressive, destructive and regenerative. Volcanic and cathartic. Eliminative transformative. Every evolving was the biological processes of birth, sex, and death. The cycle of death and rebirth. Let me just take a bracket here. We think of Saturn as related to death and the endings of things, while Pluto is death and rebirth. It's got the whole cycle in it and in fact it goes birth sex and death and rebirth. It's the whole big URL boros cycle of life and death, getting back to the description here from cosmos and psyche. It's associated with upheaval, breakdown, decay, and fertilization. Violent purgatorial discharge of pent up energies. Purifying fire. This is what Stan grove calls pyro catharsis that part of a very powerful experiential therapy where you go through pyro catharsis where there's a great release in a kind of fiery burst from the depths that releases the repressed energies from one in a way that is not destructive, but actually puts you in touch with the life force. And as healing, situations of life and death extremes, power struggles. All that is.

"You're not going. First of all, you're not going to get it all right anyway. So admit your own ego and go, okay, you know, but, but you're still, even when you make tough decisions to show that courage and confidence that I mentioned earlier with .4, you're not going to please everybody and no one says you have to, right? That's just it's just that can happen. It's not real world. I don't know if you have children or people out there who have children, but you know, you can't certainly manage more than one child at the same way, right? And have the same effect, they're also different, okay? And then the last point is consistency. A leader has to be consistent. I go back to a quote from the writer Rudyard Kipling. And I found this quote and years ago and it just kind of hit me. And I read it for you. If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you. And I think wow, what about that, right? Because every leader has a peanut gallery somewhere. And by that, I mean, you know, peanut gallery. But in there, oh, we should have did it on that. Oh, didn't we know this? And why can't we be doing that? Well, then they're thrust into some kind of supervisory leadership. They find out it's not so easy. But everyone like playing with or not the leader. I like this quote because leaders, they may not always make a decision that I like or that personally is my comfort zone or what have you. But in these times, if a leader is at least consistent, you know, if they hold people accountable, you know, things that accountability is a huge issue today. We might get into that later later if we have time..

"That that especially in modern astrology, starting with the astrologer Dane rudyard, he really focused on the lunation cycle as being the sort of archetype for the entire aspect doctrine. And there's a lot of interesting things that he drew from that, but one of the things is just the notion that the full moon is one of the most archetypally archetypal images for the opposition, whereas the new moon is like the conjunction. So the new moon at the new moon, the moon is at its darkest and it's at the very beginning of a cycle, and as soon as it separates from the sun after the conjunction, it starts increasing in light so just after the new moon, once the moon increases the distance and starts moving away from the sun, if you pay attention to it and look at it each night, it starts getting brighter and brighter and getting fuller and fuller. Eventually when the moon reaches the square with the sun at 90°, that's when we get the first quarter moon so the moon is like half illuminated at that point, and the other half of its dark. Then once the moon gets to the opposition, it's at peak, brightness and peak full fullness, so that's the point where when the sun sets that day in the evening, the moon will rise, which is another thing that's tied into the opposition. It's part of why I was mentioning earlier that feelings sometimes with the opposition that in order for one of us to sort of rise or gain here, the other has a feeling sometimes that the other has to lose in some way. That's very perfect. Yeah, so the moon will cause oppositions also indicate planets where one of them when one of them is rising, the other setting, like we have here in this diagram where the moon is in, let's say if well, let's say it's in the first house. And the sun is in the 7th house, then the moon is rising up over the eastern horizon in the sun is setting, or if the moon was in the tenth house, then the sun at opposition would be in the fourth House. Right. I feel like there was some myth too. Wasn't there based on the constellations Hercules is somewhere by Taurus or someone is by Taurus in their job is to get the scorpion and so there's this constant hunter and prey, this constant chase as one rises the scorpion sets, you know, and they just chase each other around. I thought that was a myth or something. Oh, right. Yeah, yeah. It's a good point. Yeah, so it's kind of like people visually saw these things. And a lot of our symbolism comes from these very visual types of occurrences. For sure. Yeah, that visual component to astrology is really important and it's tricky because usually when you learn astrology, you learn it through charts and looking at charts like we're doing now, but that's one of the reasons why it's really important to actually go outside and start paying attention to the sky because when you do that, you get a much more intimate visceral understanding of what the chart is actually representing that's actually happening out there in the sky. Yeah, absolutely. Can not say that enough. Yeah, so all right, so when the moon is exactly in an opposition with the sun, we're at the full moon, the moon is at peak brightness and the full moon is interesting because that's also it can be a really active sort of energetic period in the month and it's a point where the moon really comes into her own and some sense and becomes like the luminary at night that is lighting things up and is brightening up.

"It's inevitable that many of us have grown up to be like our parents are mannerisms are ways of speech even our taste in movies and music are because of the people who raised us heck. Every time i laugh. I hear my father's voice as if he's in the very same room as me but how much of who we are is based on how we were raised. And how much is. Based on our dna it's the old nature versus nurture debate. Well dina santa. hr may hold the answers in eighteen. Sixty seven a group of hunters were prowling through the jungle of utah pradesh india. When they came to a clearing some distance away they noticed the entrance to a cave the hunters approached the cave carefully anticipating what they might find inside it. Could after all be a ferocious animal a creature did emerge. It ignored them at first unbothered by their presence the hunters though did not raise their guns. They couldn't bring themselves to kill something. So unique what they had countered was neither a bear nor a wolf. But something completely unexpected. They had found a boy probably no more than six years old and knowing they couldn't leave him in the jungle the hunters gathered him up and brought him to an orphanage. In the nearby town of agra. It was there that he was given the name. Dinah senate sanchaar was a hindi word. Meaning saturday the day. They had found him. He was considered a feral child because he couldn't walk upright or know how to conduct himself around other people. He couldn't even speak but he did understand his new guardians. To some extent he had been raised by wolves and his behavior reflected that he ate raw meat and walked on all fours chewed on bones which in turn had sharpened his teeth and he couldn't form words so he communicated with grunts like an animal. You found it difficult to stand on two legs like everyone else. He also had trouble following simple. Directions for example pointing at an object or a plate of food was a foreign gesture to him. As wolves didn't use their paws to indicate things of importance and he never learned to speak the language of his caretakers. although the effects of living around other human beings did eventually rub off on him. Senator learned how to stand on two legs and it was said that he figured out how to put on his clothes later in life. Surprisingly one human habit came quite naturally to him smoking. He found the practice so enjoyable. He became a chain smoker before his death at the age of thirty four it's been theorized that sandwich or may have been the inspiration for the young man. Cub moberly in rudyard kipling's the jungle book series in those novels. Ugly is an abandoned child raised by wolves in the jungles of india. Yet he was not the first nor would he be. The last child raised by wolves that the orphanage would take in three more. Children were welcomed after him including a girl and two boys all who had been classified as feral. In fact over the years more than fifty children have been discovered living with animals in the jungles of india. One boy was found in nineteen fifty seven crawling out of a cave. He had been stolen from his home by a wolf when he was only eighteen months old other children though were often abandoned by their parents for being born with intellectual disabilities and india wasn't the only place where children were being raised in the wild either in the mid nineteen eighties. Young ukrainian girl named oxana malaya was taken in by stray dogs when she was just three years old. Her alcoholic father left her outside one night so she crawled into a structure with the dogs to stay warm. She ended up living on the streets for five years eating scraps of food and crawling on all fours until social workers found her. Got her the help. she needed. Enrolling her in various therapies to help improve her speech and control her feral urges and she eventually learned to speak fluent russian and got a job on a farm but she was never the same. Who knows how she or santa char or any of the other. Children neglected by society might have turned out. Had they been given the tools to thrive instead they were cast aside and left defend for themselves. It makes one wonder in this story. Who are the real animals.

"Price and what is this really about. Rudyard it's about television rights it's abode the money that gets made not through ticket sales anymore But through television which allegedly goes to finance amateur athletics but there has got to be a better way than the way. We're currently doing our egregious. We talk a lot on this show about how. This pandemic is kind of changing people's expectations about about government about big institutions and it seems that the olympics the has just been remarkably tone deaf through this this whole experience and i think it. I don't need to give the examples. I'm sure our listeners are aware of them. It seems to go though to the fundamental reality that this is an institution with very little if any accountability. It's been run over the course of its one hundred and twenty five years by guess. What seven white men. It has a board of one hundred odd individuals from business and financing including members of the royalty. I mean how janice do get to this point where we're kind of you know we're not out of the first few decades of the twenty first century hit. You're you're looking. You're staring at it. Institution that just seems demonstrably sclerotic. It just seems like it's from a different era but here it is. It's the biggest sporting event in the world. it's an organization that controls tens of billions of dollars. Why well you know. It's not surprising. Institutions live on and on and on we call that the inertia effect. It's often easier to create something new to start something. New registered than it is to reform well entrenched institution. What i think you put your finger on the core issue. There is a small lead one hundred one board. That's vaguely anyway. There is a small coterie of people who have run the olympics for decades. They control the decision. Making we know we have a corrupted protests of bitten by cities. You mean it happens over and over again. We're not shocked anymore. But getting these people to to wake up and say this is after all about sport. It's about amateur sport. It's about a healthy lifestyle and you're moving one hundred thousand people into a kobe strict in country. Tell me how those two pieces of the puzzle fit together now to to be honest. I tuned in this week to watch the canadians. Warmer women's soccer team play japan. So i'm complicit in loving the drama and the excitement but for i think we need a fundamental rethink first of all. We need to put the olympics in one country. Permanently has to be a permanent hall if we do that. We cut the corruption and we cut the bidding process and we cut this stupidity of leaving countries. Rich and poor. It doesn't really matter with a huge overhang of debt for facilities that they build that almost without exception remain unused and deteriorate. Because you can't refit them for different purposes. This is just a a massive waste on a global scale you know. Bring them back to greece of gaza. What we need to do but put them in one country and bill facilities that get reused and maintain so we don't have this kind of just colossal waste anymore..

"Who recognized that whether it's biology whether it is social studies whether it's math whether it's physical education no matter the subject we need to be able to integrate social emotional skills so that we humans can begin to collaborate and come up with truly inclusive solutions to the in fact existential problems that you know. This planet is facing without those skills. I do worry that we're toast. Let's talk a little bit about how you came to these insights earshot because many people know you an associate you with a frankly very lively at times elbows up conversation about the future of islam. You spent a lot of your early life as a journalist and an author arguing forcefully for a kind of reformed islam. you had many debates. I read the my watch. The where. I'm not that earshot was not taking a big breath. That your shadow was you know. In the fight convinced of her righteousness Is wanting to win. So what happened. Was this gradual. Change that you had. Was it. An piff unie. Tell us a little bit about that story. It was definitely a journey and at times and there were moments of epiphany But mostly it was an incremental Gross that ultimately made me realize I was doing my 'cause no favors by treating every potentially healthy discussion as if it's a debate so you are right Rudyard i made some big mistakes early on as i set out to advocate liberal reform. In my faith of islam. I wish that i had studied neuroscience and cognitive psychology Before i wrote my first bestselling book the trouble with islam today. And in fact i will tell you had i know then what i know now. I would have added a chapter to that book and it would have been chapter. One wouldn't have been about islam at all. It would have been about how we human beings are wired to detect threat at every. Turn and i would have pointed out that we are universally subject to the way our brains operate which means that i am not picking on muslims. I am not singling out. Islam as the only religion or institution that needs to change and had i done that. I'm not sure that. I would have reached every person i wanted to. But at least i would have contextualized how much the problem is with us human beings and not just with the religions and communities to which we belong that said i remember roger the turning point for me and i tell the story and don't label me. I was getting ready for the most important media interview of my life. And i passed out in the makeup chair at nbc. Because i had been having panic attacks leading up to this point and this was the third day of an international book tour for my second book alon liberty and love and i passed out because my conscience caught up with me. I had been hearing the perky breakfast morning. You know show chatter in the tv's surrounding me in that make up chair and my conscience. The voice.

Awarding the games to beijing. His is not a political indication of beijing. It simply to make sure that your you've got the games in a place that has the capacity and the ability to deliver games at the the level at Expected to be but the question of where this happens is not nearly as important as they should happen. Over the past hundred twenty five years the olympic movement has has managed to carve out these little islands of peace in complicated and difficult political conditions. And i might. I must say not without some slips and falls along the way but with a vision of trying to bring the use of the world together in a peaceful coexistence through sport and sport itself is kind of an interesting phenomenon in this in the sense that it actually does away with a lot of the need for having the same language distances weights and so on are all the same matter where you are. A lot of. The governance of sport than in the in competition is done by gestures so forth. You don't actually need them so in this effort to try and create that island you every four years. We shouldn't be distracted by the location and but be inspired by the message of the example that yes it can be done. It is possible there is hope for world. That could be less stressful. And it's come about as the result of sport and the young people who participate in it. That's the real message of the olympics. Thank you richard. My opportunity now to kind of joined the debate and think through some questions that are top of mind for our listeners. Listening to both of you in this excellent debate gills to come to you. I on richard's point there that look at the end of the day what you're looking for in a host country's inability to stage games competently effectively at a truly world class standard. It's no simple feet to pull off an olympic games. China's doing this. They did it in two thousand and eight. They're doing it again now. We have to put the interests of the athletes. I am by you. Raising political issues related to the beijing government. And what they're doing or not on human rights are a variety of other issues is kind of beside the point. I think it helps for your audience to sort of step back and think about the wider context on why beijing hosting in the first place. Absolutely the games have gotten really big and they demand a lot out of the host city. You need resources. But certainly beijing is not the only place that has the capacity to pull off the olympic games in where the olympics. Very much matters. So if we rewind two thousand fifteen we could see that only beijing in almighty kazahstan were left standing after bids from other places for the twenty twenty. Two olympics were torpedoed by public pushback. So there were originally six cities interested in staging the games but live. Ukraine krakow poland stockholm in sweden. All pulled out the residents of craft. Poland saw civic bankruptcy looming so they voted a resounding seventy percents no referendum this week hosting the twenty twenty two winter games. Then so did oslo. They pulled out after. Norway's parliament refused to grant the required government financial guarantees the ioc headed a as many pages of demands including meetings with the king vip cocktail parties dedicated traffic lanes. This did not go well in norway. Once it got to the press. Other potential bids from germany in munich in switzerland in saint moritz in davos failed to materialize after losing public referenda. The people just said no. You know what's really raises the question of why they all said no and i think this leads us to wider issues. The played the olympic games. That i think we need to talk about today but since you asked rudyard about the athletes are do to just say it is crucial to note that the ioc in picking beijing has put athletes in this difficult position. The original sin in this situation if you will is that. The i handed the olympics to a clear-cut indisputable human rights abuser of the human rights. Watch has gone as far as to determine after careful. Deliberation is actually committing crimes against humanity. That's a technical legal term against turkic. Muslims in xinjiang province and athletes had no voice in the decision to hand the twenty twenty two games to beijing and now yet athletes are caught in the middle. Don't take it if you don't wanna take it for me. Take it from the two time. Olympic alpine skiing champion michaela schifrin who just said a few months ago about the beijing games that athletes should not be forced to choose between their morals and their job. You know the irc has this slogan its athletes. I but i think it's pretty clear. In selecting beijing to host the olympics they actually put the athletes among the last so richard. I'm sure you've got some views on on what you've just heard Talk to us a bit about again. How you square. Maybe these very noble olympic principles with the reality of what we face in taking the games to china. Not just the reality of rights abuses. That are going on but the reality that as joel has just mentioned athletes are put in this intense kind of moral quandary ab no choice of their own. They now have to balance the very future of their participation in a sport that they've given their life to versus some of the most fundamental beliefs that they have about the nature of human freedom of justice of our respect for our fellow man. Well i think you can take that back gills opening accommodated. It was no country on the face of the planet without sin including his including ours. And so if you're gonna make that judgment you gotta be really really careful. But what makes the olympics all of this such a juicy target and he resistible to A number of the folks that statements jones's their global importance and recognition. But if you look at all these demands to sacrifice the games and the athletes costs nothing to all the people that are proposing that somebody else as the price at their best. And if you pay really close attention to the proponents it who say we must do. Something about china are they actually mean is not we. I mean you you. The olympic athletes are going to be the the warriors in this particular conflict that we have identified as being political. Not sport not use. Somebody else should pay the price for. That doesn't work. We've seen we saw what happened in in the moscow boycott back in one thousand nine hundred government.

As for the worst disaster and be ready if the worst comes to bare if you can check folks in account for them all but not depend on preprinted rosters or be ready at the last minute to change the plan and start again tomorrow in a brand new cycle if you can empower your units leaders and let them lead somewhat hands off and fail and have the crucial conversations and take doc ownership because your the boss if you can push yourself for the late night printings to prepare a finished product addict when all are asleep and lean on your section.

Where everyone's GonNa look to you and depend on you and that is a great thing but you have to be strong in your resolve and your knowledge in your skill set and understand that that things will change that the process could be messy but that you are going to be there and you were going to be strong and you were going to rely on your teammates and that you can step back and not have to dictate the plan but also keep people on track and communicate.

Why Can a Mongoose Take on a Cobra?
"Now available on the iheartradio APP. Or wherever you listen to podcasts. It will come to brainstorm a production of iheartradio. Hey brain stuff lauren. Vogel bomb here. There aren't very many animals out there that could could fight a King Cobra and eat it for dinner but a mongoose is one of them before we go any further. Let's talk about Mongoose. In general have you ever seen among us. There are twenty nine species of them and not all of them. Look the same but they are all long bodied short eared. SORTA weasley looking animals. They they aren't very closely related to weasels. Though if you're an animal in the order Carnivora which is the order of mammals are mostly carnivorous and have teeth adapted for flesh-eating you can either be on team dog or team cat. Weasels are related to dogs. And however much mongooses look like weasels they. We are firmly on team cat fact. A mere cat is a type of Mongoose and cat is right there in its name. Mungo says live in colonies and most species. He's live in Africa. Although one species the job and Mongoose has been introduced to Europe and is also wreaked havoc and ecosystems all of the world especially on islands like Hawaii. Puerto Rico and Jamaica although mongooses are small. They're bright feisty and what scientists call non-discriminatory predators. That is if they can catch or kill it. They'll eat it up to and including venomous snakes and an animal like that can do a lot of damage on an island. But how can it be. That Skinny Mongoose can take on one of the most venomous snakes in the world. Like the Hulking King Cobra whose venom can kill an adult human. And around thirty minutes the grudge match was popularized in Rudyard kipling's eighteen ninety four short story Rikki Tiki Tavee. But that's not the only time among us has contributed to popular popular culture a Hindu fable about among us in a snake dates back to at least three hundred. B C E in the nineteen thirties.

Explainer 178: The curious case of President Berdymukhamedov
"The opportunity to read one's own obituary is a privilege accorded to few perhaps unsurprisingly it can be a transformative formative experience alfred. Nobel inventor of dynamite was mortified to see himself memorialized a merchant of death. It may have been this. It's premature a review of his life's work that inspired him to bequeath the nobel prizes including one for peace marcus garvey the prominent jamaican activist activists was so enraged by his errand early obituaries that he suffered the stroke which actually killed him rudyard kipling mistakenly reported dead by one sloppy journal contented himself with writing in to cancel his subscription so we should sympathize somewhat impossibly for the last time with president gurban guli berdymukhamedov of turkmenistan who earlier this week was proved conclusively alive after some while of doubt about whether or not he was still with us act president berdymukhamedov office since two thousand and seven was photographed indisputably above ground the caspian economic forum in nevada a resort on turkmenistan's caspian sea coast the era of might and happiness as president berdymukhamedov rule is officially known precedes seeds the greatly exaggerated demise of president berdymukhamedov allegedly from kidney failure seems to have become popular currency last month. A russian news agency reported the story apparently via a eurasian affairs blog who claimed to have heard it from a source in business circles in the turkmen capital of ashkhabad who may or may not have been tipped off by a spook working for turkmenistan's intelligence services though any any journalist who pitched the editor story with this level of sourcing would find themselves retreating beneath a barrage of coffee mugs and explosives no such fact checking protocols inhibits social media which was briefly ablaze with elegies to president berdymukhamedov few of them. It has to be said especially sorrowful from turkmenistan's government. There was tantalizing silence. The last confirmed sighting of the president had been in mid-july when he was shown on state television writing a book. He is believed to be working on a history of the central asian shepherd dog and beaming at a video of one.
