2/ Generally, birds seem to take up a noteworthy role in the iconography at #GöbekliTepe (and other related #Neolithic sites).

This weekend #engineering talk on....cranes! Cranes are used widely however they are generally used for lifting heavy/awkward things, so their use is strictly controlled & planned to ensure it all happens safely 1/
Lifting operations in the UK are legislated by the Lifting Operations & Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 - this is a UK law that governs how lifts are carried out, and places legal requirements on suppliers of cranes & those planning lifts 2/
LOLER has two main requirements 1) that the lifting equipment is safe for use, and 2) that the lift is planned & managed by competent persons 3/
Do you know what inspired the Yogis to come up with many asanas? It was nature, the early yogis were influenced by what was around them. Read - Thread on Yoga!
#Dog - Downward Facing Dog aka Adho Mukha Svanasana. Its a popular pose which is also a part of the Surya Namaskar. This helps to increase flexibility and release tension. If you have dogs around, you would have noticed that dogs stretch their body in this pose.
