A female #humpback whale became entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines. She was weighed down by hundreds of pounds of traps. She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a line tugging in her mouth. 1/6 A story of expressing gratitude. A fisherman spotted her just east of the Faralon Islands (outside the Golden Gate) and radioed for help, the rescue team determined that she was so badly off, the only way to save was to dive and untangle her, a very difficult suggestion.2/6

@HarounRashid2 #Monasteries were the bastion of discovery and enquiry. Monasteries were cradles of literacy, nurtured and conserved the masterpieces works by Cicero, Virgil, Ovid, and Aristotle. They were the harbinger of the Universities assembling the best setting for the ideal knowledge. @HarounRashid2 The Monastic trend was built around the #Rule_of_Benedict. Benedict 1,500 years ago had come up with a guide for developing sustainable communities to play a key role in conserving the knowledge of the past and building a social fabric that delivered durable climate for growth.
