![]() ![]() Sibling rivalry is very common among these young shoebills. The bigger chicks often pick on the smaller ones especially when the mother is way, and this often drives the defeated bird to live outside of the family. They fight each other off until the weakest chick is pushed out of the nest. When hungry, the chicks make hiccup-like sounds to notify the mother that they need food. The chicks are known for being insanely competitive. The young one is not able to stand and move on its own until 2 months, so it solely depends on the mother’s food provision until three months later when they can do feed on their own without the supervision of the parents. The female bird lays between 1 to 3 eggs and incubates then for about 30 days until they hatch. A shoebill stork becomes sexually active at 3 to 4 years of age. The shoebill mating season is closer to the dry period than the wet period when it is safer for the nest and eggs. The shoebill stork can live for more than 35 years in the wild. The male and female only come together for mating, building the nesting area and incubating the eggs. Socially, the shoebill stock is a solitary and quiet animal. It is used to catch and kill the prey, as well as to chop off the heads of the prey for ease while swallowing. The beak is a fundamental instrument in eating. At the right moment, it strikes promptly and deadly possibly killing its prey in one swift move. The shoebill will wait out its prey especially in the shallow ends of wetlands or any floating vegetation to stake out its meal. They attack at the baby crocodile swiftly when an opportunity presents itself and with its sharp and hard beak, once the prey is captured, it cannot escape their fate. It is known for being a fierce hunter and a patient predator. ![]() Shoebills prefer to feed on lungfish but supplement this other assortment like water snakes, frogs, turtles, and occasionally baby crocodiles when the young one’s parents are not around. The Shoebill is a carnivorous bird that mainly feeds on fish and aquatic features. This means that when a shoebill spreads its wings, it has a bigger wingspan than Shaquille O’Neal. The shoebill wings can spread up to 2.5 meters and can flap about 150 times per minute. The legs are long, slender and black in colour, with large feet. The beak is almost 10 inches long, deadly and used for both feeding and protecting itself. The beak of the shoebill is curved at the tip and has very sharp edges with which the bird uses to cut through its food. It is grey in colour and it has the most outstanding feature which is the shoe-shaped bill. The shoebill stock is a tall bird with a height of about 4.5 feet and weighs about 7 kilograms. The shoebill stock is also known as “whale head”. In Uganda where you are guaranteed to see, visitors can find them in Mabamba swamp, Along River Nile in Murchison falls national park, Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary and Semuliki national park and some other swamps close to Lake Victoria. ![]() The Shoebill stock is endemic to East and Central Africa and it can be found in countries of Uganda, Kenya, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Botswana, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Zambia and South Sudan. The shoebill tends to inhabit in more open areas preferably particular vegetation formed by papyrus and tall grass around freshwater swamps, wetlands, lake and Rivers. Below are some of the facts anyone should know about the shoebill stock. The shoebill stock is a very large stork-like bird which derives its name from its enormous shoe-shaped bill. ![]() Facts about the Shoebill Stock bird : The shoebill stork also scientifically called Balaeniceps rex is one of the best bird species in Africa and certainly one of the most challenging birds to find in Africa. ![]()

![]() ![]() As our medical knowledge increases with time, we are able to treat patients in a more efficient way. ![]() The discovery made by these doctors helped patients who were misdiagnosed with other diseases and were given the wrong treatments due to these misdiagnoses. Crohn and his colleagues’ discovery, any disease that involved the small intestine was viewed as intestinal tuberculosis. The first explanation given of the disease was given by an Italian physician named Giovanni Battista Morgagni, when he was diagnosing a patient who suffered from symptoms common in Crohn’s. ![]() Despite being first recognized in the 20th century, this was not the first time the condition was described. Burrill Crohn, which the disease is named after. While Crohn’s is not usually a debilitating condition, most patients must take the disease and its possible flare-ups into consideration when planning everyday activities.Ĭrohn’s disease first became regarded as a medical condition in 1932 by famous gastroenterologist Dr. This fluctuation in symptoms can be seen in the case of Alfred who experienced periods of chronic pain where he was unable to leave his room, as well as periods with no symptoms. Symptoms can be off and on, and remission only takes place when the ulcers start to heal. This disease affects the way your body takes in important nutrients, and can have a negative impact on the way your body digests food and gets rid of its waste. In a person with Crohn’s disease, the immune system attacks parts of the gastrointestinal system and damages it. Crohn’s disease can last years and in some cases can be lifelong, with symptoms worsening overtime. It is also known that the disease affects people in different ways, but some common symptoms are abdominal pain and cramping, fever, fatigue, blood in stool, as well as pain and lesions in the anal region, due to frequent bowel movements. Doctors are still unsure what exactly causes Crohn’s disease, but factors such as a person’s immune system, genes, and environment can influence whether or not they get the disease. Crohn’s disease causes chronic inflammation of the digestive system, typically the intestine and colon (although it can form anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract). Comparing Alfred’s symptoms such as the severe pain and anal lesion to present-day illness, we can come to the conclusion that Alfred was most likely suffering from Crohn’s disease.Ĭrohn’s disease is an incurable, lifelong disease. Given medical discoveries since Alfred’s time, we have a much better understanding of his symptoms. Others thought that it might just be an unknown fever, or even possibly hemorrhoids. Because there were no concrete diagnoses, rumors spread that King Alfred was possessed by the devil or that he was being punished by a witch. The pain persisted for over twenty years, and the cause remained unknown to physicians at the time. ![]() It was after the feast that Alfred began experiencing a harsh and relentless pain. In his book, Asser explains that Alfred had a huge feast after his marriage to his bride, Ealhswith. Much of the information we have about Alfred’s condition comes from Asser’s writings. After all of this studying, researchers have come to the conclusion that it is most likely that King Alfred suffered from Crohn’s disease, an inflammatory bowel disease that causes chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Upon studying his symptoms, many people have considered several conditions that the king may have suffered from, including neuritis (inflammation of a nerve), epilepsy, sexually transmitted diseases, or even psychosomatic illnesses due to stress. Fortunately for us, we can now look at the book and learn about the king’s symptoms. In Asser’s book Life of Alfred, he writes much on the subject of Alfred’s health. Asser, the Welsh bishop of King Alfred, studied the King’s illness and kept records of his symptoms. It is known that through much of his life King Alfred suffered from illness that caused him severe pain. Alfred is the only English monarch given the title “the Great.” This could be due to his work defending against Viking invasions and his social reforms. King Alfred the Great ruled the Saxon kingdom of Wessex, located in southwestern England, from the years 871 to 899CE. ![]() ![]() ![]() “Like I said I’m not into big waves, I just like big Teahupoo, because it’s home. Kauli, very far from Teahupo’o, doing what he must to get to the next stage of his career.

I wonder how he squares away chasing the dream in the gunmetal grey, tide ravaged Atlantic, literally a world away from his French Polynesian idyll. ![]() He’s friendly, polite, but hardly effervescent.

Ever since, it’s been my brand of choice. Sure enough, there was a bottle with a baby on it (and the words Golden Boy Brand in teensy tiny letters). There are about 20 different brands of fish sauce to choose from, but chef Lisa told me to get “the one with the baby on it”. Since then I’ve come to adore the Asian market and I’ve spent a great deal of time getting to know the isles and where to find what. Our market here is huge and I had no idea what I was getting myself into. It was my first time at the " Asia Supermarket" and it was completely overwhelming. ![]() Years ago I was working for a local chef, when she needed me to run to the Asian market to pick up fish sauce. When substituting for palm sugar, I always go with the light stuff. That being said, I get pretty peeved when recipes don’t specify light brown or dark brown sugar, because it can make a pretty significant difference in the outcome. Palm sugar often comes in these hard discs or balls, and can be difficult to measure, so I often go for the brown. Palm sugar is traditional in Thai cooking, but I’ve found brown sugar works well too. ![]() Thai food, as with most other Asian cuisine, is based around 4 distinct tastes that work together in balance: Let’s talk about those ingredients, shall we? Plus, you can put them both on the same plate without having to worry about the flavors melding together in a funky way. The beautiful thing about making both of these dishes together is that the flavors are very similar, and therefore many of the ingredients overlap. As soon as I saw the green papayas, I knew exactly what I wanted to make: a Thai green papaya salad, one of my all time favorites. I wanted to make a nice refreshing salad to go along with the fish, so I hit up our local Asian market for inspiration. ![]() Grill me whole and slather me with a sweet salty spicy tangy herbaceous sauce! I thought fish would be a nice change of pace from all the pork belly and pasta I've been eating, so I headed over to Randall’s, my favorite local fish market, to see what looked good. Southeast Asian flavors are an immediate go-to when I want to eat something that's light but still super flavorful. So tonight, rather than hitting the town, I’m bringing you a second blog post for this week with not one, but TWO recipes. I see nothing wrong with enjoying the finer things in life, but sometimes when I’ve had a little bit too much of, well, everything, I crave a meal that is light and cleansing. It seems that every other day there is a new reason to celebrate:Īnniversaries! Birthdays! End of summer! Engagements! Weddings! Babies! Girls night! Double date night! Family visiting! Friends in Town! I’ve been doing a lot of overindulging lately. This Thai Whole Grilled Snapper is an easy and delicious recipe to make on the grill!
