Theodore Roosevelt Statue Outside American Museum Of Natural History Will Be Removed

The statue was meant to celebrate Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) as a devoted naturalist and author of works on natural history ... An avid conservationist and big game hunter, he is perhaps best known for his environmental legacy: He expanded the National Parks System and established 150 national forests, five national parks and 51 federal bird reserves, according to the U. S. Department of the Interior. After his presidency, Roosevelt with his son Kermit mounted an East African big game expedition to hunt and collect hundreds of scientific specimens for the Smithsonian Institution collections, including a white rhino, which today is exhibited at the National Museum of Natural History.

In English, rule of thumb refers to an approximate method for doing something, based on practical experience rather than theory.Such a rule is usually a principle with broad application that is not intended to be strictly accurate or reliable for every situation. This usage of the phrase can be traced back to the seventeenth century and has been associated with various trades where quantities were measured by comparison to the width or length of a thumb.

The phrase became associated with domestic abuse in the 1970s (see Folk etymology below). Although this has since been disputed as the origin, it is still often seen as taboo owing to this historic usage.

То что люди давно живут в различных климатических поясах с перепадом температур градусов в 40, их очевидно нимало не смущает. Интересно, они просто идиоты или всех остальных считают идиотами?
