Doc!! other than doves whats ur fav bird, mine is the american woodcook
ive answered this before here!
Tumblr media
i like them very much!! especially old german owl pigeons! i love the types of colors they can have on their wings and the way their feathers stick up around their neck like that is wonderful.... as for their beaks, they do have rather small beaks compares to some other pigeons! i havent heard of owl pigeons having trouble feeding due to their beak sizes (as of yet anyway) however, there are certain pigeons breeds such as modern frills which do have issues with their beaks unfortunately..

HAPPY WOODCOOK WSUNDAY!!!
have u done timberdoodle/woodcock?
Animal of the day: Woodcock!
The Woodcock is a large, short-legged wading bird that lives in woodlands across the Northern Hemisphere and a few parts of the Southern Hemisphere.
Tumblr media
They are mainly nocturnal, and hide in dense undergrowth during the day, so it can be quite difficult to spot one. They also have impressive camouflage!
Tumblr media
In the spring and summer, the males perform a display flight called 'roding' in order to compete with other males to attract females.
Tumblr media
They also have quite entertaining walks!

Раньше как-то писал про работу по фазану, что типа собака должна его пресовать постоянно поджимать по сухой погоде и тд, нашёл два видео ещё со старого телефона на них видна стойка и сразу же прессинг фазана, спринтеры они знатные, Усейн Болт отдыхает! Кто знает тот увидет это на видео сразу! Пример в траве и в камыше! ⠀ На первом фото в карусели собака вытянулась так, что у меня чуть сердце не выпрыгнуло😂💥💔 это пример стойки не особо типичной для ирландца. Название сеттер произошло от слова set - стойка или приседать, раньше при ловле птиц сетями собака должна ��ыла максимально наклониться(ну или прижаться), поэтому более типичной является стойка с прежатым корпусом "все лапы на земле". Это стойка в сырую погоду по вальдшнепу, фото сделано на телефон и приближено, скрин с камеры получается размазанный, запотела или капля не понятно😁Есть видео, где собака услышав звук тревоги петуха (фазана) резко вскидывает голову 😂😂😂, но чуть позже выкину👌... а то и так намешал все подряд... #caccia #fagianocaccia #beccaccino #woodcook #woodcookhunting #фазан #охотанафазана #cacciatori #irishsetter #setter #setters #englishsetter #hunting #hunter #hunt #вальдшнеп #охотанавальдшнепа #ирландскийсеттер #сеттер #сеттеры #легавые #dog #doghunting #birdhunting #охота #хобби (at Krasnodar Krai) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNu3a4Pr-x5/?igshid=n9q0n8inz29j

Ogata’s iconic gesture
We’re all familiar with the way Ogata’s caresses his hair...
...to the point it had become his iconic gesture so that even the first time he shows up on a cover he’s shown doing it...
Tumblr media
...and he’s also shown doing it in a colour illustration which was used as cover for chap 79
Tumblr media
...and in one of the summaries for the skin count.
Tumblr media
It’s clear he doesn’t do it just to comb his hair as he had been shown doing it even when he wears a hat so, more than fixing his hair, it’s clear he’s sort of caressing himself, making that gesture a self comfort gesure he might perform in an unconscious manner.
The movement is likely based on how cats groom their fur...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
...a not so indirect reference to Ogata’s nickname, ‘Yamaneko’ (“Wildcat”).
While cats groom themselves for practical reasons, they also groom if they feel embarrassed, anxious, or to calm themselve, which would tie well with this being Ogata’s self comfort gesture.
But let’s look at when he does it through the manga.
Note that there are instances in which it’s actually unclear if he’s doing it so I will leave them for last.
The first time is in chap 43.
Tumblr media
Ogata thinks Tanigaki might have killed Tamai, Noma and Okada and he’s obviously not pleased. Later, he will hunt Tanigaki in retaliation even though it’s completely useless as, as we’ll discover in chap 243, he’s aware Tsurumi already knows of their rebellion and is hunting them, meaning remaining there to hunt Tanigaki is a mere waste of time, a hint Ogata in that moment felt a deep grudge toward Tanigaki if he decided to spend his time so uselessly. As he pats his hair Ogata’s face is shadowed. It’s clear he’s not in a happy mood.
So the grooming can be a soothing gesture for him. He has to keep calm and not shoot Tanigaki right then or he’ll involve Huci too, whom, he’ll reveal, he wanted to spare.
We continue with chap 46.
Tumblr media
In it Ogata does it before praparing himself to face the soldiers Tsurumi is sending against him. As the situation is clearly risky, it makes sense he’s soothing himself with a quick ‘hair grooming’ before facing his enemies.
We move to chap 70.
Tumblr media
For who doesn’t remember it the scene happens prior to Ushiyama listing all the skins they got, pointing out the last one was recovered by Ogata...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
...but prior to Ogata casually questioning Hijikata.
It’s hard to say why exactly he’s grooming himself, it can be he’s calming himself a bit before having to question someone like Hijikata, who basically doesn’t trust anyone. Of course it can also be tied to the memories Ogata had of how he got the skin in Barato, where another ‘father’ tried to kill his own son, something which clearly reminded Ogata of his own father.
We continue with chap 78.
Tumblr media
Ogata, who’s cornered behind a table and some stuffed corpses, pats his head when Tsukishima attacks him, saying he’s betraying them to surpass his father. Again his face is shadowed and his expression somewhat pained. If the purpose is to calm himself down it works as he then smiles, dismisses Tsukishima’s words as Tsurumi using stupid cliches and shoots in Tsukishima’s direction although this is one of the rare times in which Ogata completely misses his target.
So to chap 80 we go.
Tumblr media
The situation is clearly unpleasant. Although Ogata survives he claims to have no other choice but to bring Sugimoto’s group along and that’s not even the worst part. He knows Edogai died and Tsukishima might be bringing some fake skins to Tsurumi as they speak. One might need some self confort in such a situation... and if it helps fixing his hair which is likely a mess after his experience in the mine, well, that’s a plus.
And now chap 83.
Tumblr media
The image in its own doesn’t tell us much.
For the context Ogata was about to shoot at the woodcooks when Asirpa stopped him saying even if he were to manage to hit 1 the others would fly away and anyway it’s hard to hit them with the rounds Ogata uses, hence they should use an Ainu method to get them.
Tumblr media
While Sugimoto is amused by Asirpa’s lack of faith in Ogata’s ability, it makes sense Ogata wouldn’t be pleased. Even the sound he makes seems to point at it.
There’s another scene in chap 83 though where he pets himself.
Tumblr media
This time is after he got praised for getting three of them. It’s hard to think at discomfort, unless Ogata is so not used to praises they too make him nervous, so he needed it to later manage to assume a confident pose. Honestly I would say it’s more a self praising move but it’s hard to read Ogata.
Fast forward to chap 88.
Tumblr media
Same as the above this is hard to read. Is he praising himself for guessing right or having the confirmation they’re in the hideout of some Yakuza pretending to be Ainu makes their situation worrysome?
At the list I’ll include a cut scene in chap 101.
Tumblr media
In the volume version this scene isn’t present, but in the magazine version Ogata grooms his hair when he realizes they’re encircled by bears, a definitively worrying situation.
Then we move to chap 108.
Tumblr media
It’s another scene that’s not clear. Is he proud of himself because he figured out why Sugimoto is searching the gold or the thing makes him uncomfortable because he has realized Asirpa has a crush on him and the whole situation reminded him of his own mother?
And then we’ve chap 109.
Tumblr media
Is he proud because he was the first to find him? Or it’s just the situation is troublesome because Ogata would still be of the idea of killing Tanigaki for what happened to Tamai and Co (which he will mention later on to Asirpa and Sugimoto), but killing him would be troublesome because Tanigaki is friend with Asirpa and Sugimoto, whcih are part of the group Ogata is in currently.
And then we get the infamous chap 113.
Tumblr media
Ogata is teaching Asirpa why Anehata just wouldn’t think to consequences before violating animals. While the scene seems funny, his father was also one of the men who didn’t think to consequences before having sex with Ogata’s mother.
On another side I’ve been told Ogata’s words are losely translated as the sentence was pretty unclear in Japanese so...
‘Otoko tte no wa dasu mon dasu to sōnan no yo’
男ってのは出すもん出すとそうなんのよ
“That’s how a man is when he put it out."
And then we’ve chap 128.
Tumblr media
Again Ogata’s parentage is used against him, as Hijikata says due to it is hard to think Ogata might be in this for some gold. And again it makes sense the situation makes him uncomfortable.
So we move to the infamous chap 137.
Tumblr media
Is he praising himself because he got Wilk and Sugimoto? Or is he troubled because, although he got Sugimoto, he knows the bullet might not be fatal which is why he has to remain there and try to shoot Sugimoto some more?
To Karafuto we go and to chap 159.
Tumblr media
And here it’s pretty clear Ogata is uncomfortable at the idea of having to go and apologize.
Chap 170 then.
Tumblr media
We’ve Ogata grooming his hat... because he got praised by Asirpa. Again if he’s uncomfortable (he’s not even meeting her gaze) or if he’s praising himself for his own shoot is up to speculation.
And then chap 180.
Tumblr media
More hat grooming. It was interpreted as a stab at Kiro, who also had to move from Russia because chased... but he’s not even looking at him and Ogata was the one sure Tsurumi would chase him so it might be just a jab at himself.
Hard to say.
We continue with chap 187.
Tumblr media
And this time Ogata don’t content himself with hat grooming, he moved his hat away that’s much that’s needed to confort himself after Asirpa (legittimately I might add) told him to stay away and that he is untrustworthy.
A big fast forward to chap 222.
Tumblr media
And again Ogata is in a clearly discomforting situation as he has to explain Abashiri keeping hidden the role he had in it considering he’s a horrible liar.
And finally chap 257.
Tumblr media
Ogata crossed paths with Kikuta but Kikuta let him go, pretending he never saw him. Either something happened between the two, something we weren’t shown, or still this meeting managed to make him uncomfortable, a clear hint they aren’t on the same side, even if they aren’t at war with each other.
And that’s all, or better, those are all the scenes in which we can be confident Ogata is grooming himself.
There are then some unclear scenes.
Chap 5 for example.
Tumblr media
It might be a ‘proto grooming’ scene. Ogata is clearly not petting himself, he’s scratching the back of his head, which usually is done to imply the character is puzzled but the scene might have inspired Noda into giving him the habit to groom himself.
Then chap 115.
Tumblr media
Some think this is a grooming scene but as Ogata says his head is spinning it makes sense he would touch it (it’s a pretty standard movement), especially since his hand isn’t in the usual grooming position. On the other side having your head spin is clearly uncomfortable so a grooming scene would make sense too but really, I think he’s only touching his spinning head.
And lastly chap 159.
Tumblr media
It could be a grooming scene... but it could also be Ogata pulling down his hood as first he had it raised and then he had it lowered.
Hard to say anyway, if it’s a grooming scene it would again fit in the list of scenes of Ogata doing it after hitting something.
And that’s the end.
As you can notice there isn’t a single grooming scene placed prior to Ogata’s hair growing.
Some assumed he groomed himself when he met his father.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Truth is it’s hard to say as it can be he was merely covering his eyes, as when Ogata grooms himself, Noda usually draw his hand in a higher position and with the fingers touching each other.
It’s hard to say but it’s still interesting.
Of course his possible Ogata merely started doing so because his fur... ehm... I mean hair, got longer... I mean... the short hair he had previously might not have been the most pleasant thing to pet... but maybe there was a starting factor. I don’t know, we’ll see.
Well, and that’s all for GK resident kitty. We’ll see if the future will gift us with more grooming moments.

US Approves Third COVID-19 Shot For People With Weakened Immune Systems
New Post has been published on https://thebiafrastar.com/us-approves-third-covid-19-shot-for-people-with-weakened-immune-systems/
US Approves Third COVID-19 Shot For People With Weakened Immune Systems
Tumblr media
The United States approved an additional portion of the COVID-19 antibody for individuals with debilitated invulnerable frameworks short-term Thursday to Friday, as the nation battles to impede the Delta variation.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();
Crisis use approval for a third infusion of Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna immunizations was conceded by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) controller.
“The nation has entered one more flood of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the FDA is particularly conscious that immunocompromised individuals are especially in danger for extreme infection,” said acting FDA Commissioner Janet Woodcock in a proclamation.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();
The FDA said the extra portion was for strong organ relocate beneficiaries or those with identical debilitated insusceptible frameworks.
US wellbeing specialists had been discussing whether a third portion might be required, following a comparative move by Israel.
A few media reports recommend that 1,000,000 Americans might have had unapproved third dosages trying to build security against the Covid.
“People who are completely immunized are enough secured and needn’t bother with an extra portion of Covid-19 antibody as of now,” Woodcook said.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();
A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warning advisory group casted a ballot for the choice on Friday, with the organization consequently distributing its proposals for the organization of a third portion for use by medical services experts.
Notwithstanding, the board said individuals who got the Johnson and Johnson single-portion immunization, a minority of the US populace, were excluded from the choice because of absence of accessible information.
– Booster ban call –
Recently, the United States dismissed an allure from the World Health Organization for a ban on promoter shots to assist with facilitating the intense imbalance in portion appropriation among rich and helpless countries.
In excess of 619,000 individuals have kicked the bucket in the United States from Covid-19, with case numbers expanding pointedly lately because of the spread of the Delta variation.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();
The country’s fast immunization program hit obstruction in politically traditionalist locales in the South and Midwest, among those with lower wages and racial minorities.
Yet, authorities this week hailed ongoing advancement, with a half million individuals getting recently immunized each day, and further developed take-up among teens and in infection areas of interest like Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi.
After the FDA administering, Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel said it was “promising” that reviews showed a third portion could help immunocompromised individuals.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();
Coronavirus antibodies are free and broadly accessible in the United States, however just 50% of the absolute populace is completely inoculated.
“At the present time right now, other than the invulnerable compromised, we’re not going to be offering promoters to individuals,” top US Covid-19 counselor Anthony Fauci told NBC on Thursday.
“In any case, we will be following them cautiously, and in the event that they do require it, we’ll be prepared to offer it to them… definitely there will be the point at which we should give supports.”
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();
Researchers on the CDC council will meet again toward the finish of August to survey information on the capability of suggesting a third portion for other populace gatherings, including grown-ups more than 65 years old, long haul nursing home inhabitants and medical services experts.
These populaces were among quick to get an antibody in the United States and wellbeing specialists need to contemplate whether their degree of insurance against Covid-19 has disintegrated over the long run.
Any such choice, in any case, would “need to zero in on the counteraction of serious sickness, hospitalization and passing,” said Sara Oliver, a doctor with the CDC.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();
President Joe Biden declared in July that all government representatives should validate being immunized or face intense limitations, like ordinary testing, in the midst of a flood in hospitalizations.
Moved by the profoundly infectious Delta variation, Covid diseases have taken off to a day by day normal of more than 100,000, a level unheard of since the colder time of year flood.

FDA/CDC Halts Johnson & Johnson Vaccine
LOS ANGELES (OnlineColumnist.com), April 13, 2021.-- in a strange déjà vu with Europe’s AstraZeneca vaccine, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC] halted the Johnson & Johnson/Janssen Pharmaceuticals vaccine for creating blood clots or low platelets in at least six women under 50-year-old.  When the AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine created similar side effects, the European Medicines Agency [EMA] paused the vaccine March 15 before resuming its use March 18, only a three-day pause of weight out the risks v. the benefits of Europe’s most popular vaccine.  It took only three days for the EMA to decide that whatever blood clots were produced from the AstraZeneca vaccine, they were within the statistical probability of error, meaning that the incidence of blood clots in vaccine recipients were about as likely as the normal population not receiving any vaccine.   Whether the CDC concludes the same with Johnson & Johnson vaccine is anyone’s guess.         
    Any bad publicity over vaccine side effects, especially serious ones like blood clots, discourage vaccine recipients from getting vaccinated.  Vaccine hesitancy has been a big problem for the EMA trying to ramp up vaccines in Europe’s 450 million population.  Whether the blood clots from vaccine use are rare or not, it gives any reason to pause its use, knowing that there are alternatives on the market, including Pfizer’s and Moderna’s two shot mRNA vaccines.  No serious side effects like blood clots or fainting spells have been reported with the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.  U.S. Food and Drug Administration [FDA] Commissioner Janet Woodcook expected the FDA’s pause to be a matter of days, not weeks, much like the U.K.’s AstraZeneca vaccine.  Like the EMA, the FDA’s likely to conclude soon that the risk of blood clots is so infinitesimal that the benefits of the vaccine outweigh any possible side effects.    
         FDA official Peter Marks said there were very close parallels with AstraZeneca vaccine in terms of infrequent blood clots.  EMA officials didn’t take long to realize the benefits to the vaccine far outweighed any possible side effects, including possible blood clots.  Without knowing the benefits or the risks, the EMA urged vaccine recipients to receive one AstraZeneca adenovirus shot and one Pfizer or Moderna mRNA shot, even though there’s no research on the synergy or benefits of combining the two.  Vaccine makers prefer that the EMA or FDA follow strict guidelines with respect to sticking to strict manufacturer protocols based on research.  On thing’s for sure, the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines are the envy of the world, both in terms of safety and efficacy.  AztraZeneca and Janssen/J&J vaccines are based on old vaccine technology using adenovirus from the common cold.       
      Reviewing data from new blood clot and low platelet incidents, the FDA and CDC won’t find much reason to suspend the J&J vaccine for two long.  With about seven million single-dose shots given in the U.S. and only six known embolism and low platelets cases, the FDA and CDC are likely to give the green light soon to resume vaccines.  “All Six cases occurred among women between 18 and 48, and symptoms occurred six to 13 days after vaccination,” said Dr. Anne Schuchat, principal deputy director of the CDC and Dr. Peter Marks, FDA director of Biological Evaluation and Research.  Calling the blood clots Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis [CVST], Schuchat and Marks recommended different types of blood thinners for treatment of CVST, mainly heparin.  Whatever the treatment, cerebral CVST can be very serious, essentially the equivalent of a infarct stroke.   
        Speaking at the White House task force today, 80-year-old Dr. Anthony Fauci, NIH chief of Allergy and Infectious Disease, said the pause would be brief, a matter of days, not weeks or months to resume J&J vaccines.  White House vaccine coordinator Jeffrey Zients said there are plenty of Pfizer and Moderna vaccines in the pipeline to vaccinate individuals scheduled for the J&J shots.  “We want to get this worked out as quickly as we possibly can,” said Zients, emphasizing the extraordinary safety of tens-of-millions of vaccines given without adverse side effects.  Marks emphasized that the CDC and FDA decision to pause the vaccines was only recommendations, allowing physicians to continue vaccinating with J&J if they see fit.  “We are not going to stop a provider from administering the vaccine,” he said, letting the public know that the benefits still outweigh the risks.     
        Johnson & Johnson confirmed today that they were “aware of an extremely rare disorder involving people with blood clots in combination with low platelets in a small number of individuals who have received our Covid-19 vaccine.”  That’s a much different response that AstraZeneca March 15, when they essentially said any blood clots or low platelets were no different that the unvaccinated population.  J&J said it would “proactively delay the rollout of our vaccine in Europe,” pending more research.  With over 6.8 million J&J shots given in the U.S., six cases of blood clots or low platelets represent an infinitesimal percentage relative to the number of vaccines given.   CDC and FDA officials sees the J&J blood clots and low platelets the same way they evalaluated the AstraZeneca vaccine March 15.  It took three days for the EMA to resume vaccinations in the European Union.
