The landmine-sniffing rats are continuing their slow and steady task of demining Cambodia (and other places). Here's an article about a rat named Ronin setting a record for most mines discovered (109). The previous record holder had cleared 71 landmines by the time of his retirement.

Ronin the rat sets new landmine-sniffing record

A landmine-detecting rat in Cambodia has set a new world record to become the first rodent to uncover more than 100 mines and other deadly war remnants.

Ronin, an African giant pouched rat, has uncovered 109 landmines and 15 items of unexploded ordnance since 2021, charity Apopo, which trains the animals, said in a statement.

In the backyard of the “Amsterdam Museum” (formerly known as “Hermitage”) you can find some ‘metal beasts’, made by artist “Junk-Art”. 🐀 ⚙️⛓️

The sculptures are handmade, sustainable, and the material they use is steel. It’s including sources such as bolts, gears, all sorts of motor parts, horseshoes and metal scraps. ♻️

#fedihelp #Rat erbeten:
Ich spiele jetzt seit einem Jahr #Ukulele und habe mich (fast) durch 2 Lehrbücher mit Videos gearbeitet. Leider gibt es den Nachfolgeband noch nicht.
Könnt ihr #Lehrbücher empfehlen, die nicht nur die absoluten Basics* abdecken? Mit Video wäre optimal, notfalls geht es aber hoffentlich auch ohne. Ich möchte nicht auf der Stelle treten, bis das nächste Buch erscheint...

#ThrowbackThursday to my second flat felt plushie I created 2 years ago when I had just come up with the concept and the name “Pocket Pals” and I was still very new to sewing, having started 2 months earlier.
The stitching is wonky, the thread I used for the embroidery and assembly was way too thick, but I actually still really love this little guy! I think the overall design is pretty well made!
