REAL Madrid will ask Cristiano Ronaldo to take a PAY CUT to leave Manchester United.
In a sensational twist in their attempts to lure the Portuguese winger, the Spanish giants are only preparing to offer him a £5.5m-a-season deal.
The contract would leave Ronaldo around £1.5m out of pocket if he leaves Old Trafford. Club sources claim the player will not be bothered by the pay cut because his commercial earnings away from football will rocket after he signs for them.
However, it's a massive step down from original suggestions that they would offer him £10m a year.
Club captain Raul is understood to have it written into his contract that no-one at the club can be paid more than him.
So Ronaldo would join World Cup-winning Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro and Spain goalkeeper Iker Casillas on the same money as the Real forward.
Ronaldo would also lose out on image rights – signing 50 per cent of his earnings in Spain over to Real.

We can only pray for Amir's form to return: Sarfaraz
Pakistan captain is concerned with pacer's diminishing wicket-taking ability
News Desk in Karachi
اردو میں پڑھنے کے لئے یہاں کلک کریں
Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed is concerned with pacer Mohammad Amir's lack of form, ahead of the all-important International Cricket Council (ICC) World Cup 2019 in England and Wales.
Amir, 26, has been struggling to take wickets, having bagged just five wickets in 14 one-day international (ODI) matches since the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 final in June.
He went for 59 runs in his nine wicketless overs during the first ODI against Australia on Friday and was subsequently left out of the playing line-up for the remainder of the series.
While speaking during a show on a local news channel, Sarfaraz said: "When your strike bowler is not taking wicket, it is a worrisome sign. His pace and swing has also reduced. We can only pray that his form returns."
The wicketkeeper-batsman also refrained from giving a clean answer on whether Amir will be a part of Pakistan's squad for the mega event.
"You will get the answer to that question in a few days' time," he said. "In our minds, we are clear about what's going to happen with regards to team selection."
The fitness tests of the 23-man probables squad, named by the selection committee, will be held at the National Cricket Academy in Lahore on April 15 and 16. The squad for World Cup will be announced on April 18.

The La's
The La's lyrics
The La's are an English rock band from Liverpool, originally active from 1984 until 1992. Fronted by singer, songwriter and guitarist Lee Mavers, the group is best known for their hit single "There She Goes". The band was formed by Mike Badger in 1984 and Mavers joined soon after, although for most of the group's history, the frequently changing line-up revolved around the core duo of Lee Mavers (vocals, guitar) and John Power (bass, backing vocals) along with numerous other guitarists and drummers including Paul Hemmings, John "Timmo" Timson, Peter "Cammy" Camell, Iain Templeton, John "Boo" Byrne, Chris Sharrock, Barry Sutton, and Neil Mavers.
After the departure of Badger in late 1986, the band signed to Go! Discs in 1987 and commenced recording of their debut album. Following the release of singles "Way Out" (1987), "There She Goes" (1988) and "Timeless Melody" (1990) and having aborted several recording sessions with different producers, the band released their debut album The La's in 1990 to critical acclaim and modest commercial success. John Power left The La's to form Cast and the group entered a prolonged hiatus in 1992 which lasted almost two decades. The group later reformed briefly in the mid-1990s, 2005 and 2011. However, no new recordings have been released. via Wikipedia

"The rover team decided to refrain from using the rover's robotic arm on Oct. 8 due to the detection of a bright object on the ground that might be a piece from the rover," NASA said Monday in a statement.
(AFP) NASA's Curiosity rover has uncovered a "bright object" in the red soil of Mars that might be a part of the robotic explorer that broke off, the US space agency said.
"Curiosity is acquiring additional imaging of the object to aid the team in identifying the object and assessing possible impact, if any, to sampling activities."
The rover had parked at a sand pit late last week, where it was to scoop up soil in order to clean and test its geological sampling hardware.
Curiosity is on a two-year mission to explore the Red Planet and learn whether conditions there might have been able to support life in the past.
The $2.5 billion craft landed in Gale Crater on August 6, opening a new chapter in the history of interplanetary exploration.
But what if the object was something else? What do you think it could be? Let us know by commenting below.


A team of students from Elk Grove High School took first place this fall in a regional stock market competition, besting 950 of other students teams from around the region.
Elk Grove High School senior Kacper Migacz was recognized by the manufacturing community on October 15 for his repeated success at the SkillsUSA state competitions over the last three years. At the Made in Elk Grove Manufacturing & Technology Expo, Migacz was honored for being a part of a three-person team in May 2018 that won the state championship in the automated manufacturing category. In both 2016 and 2017, Migacz and his teammates were awarded second place in the same category.
Elk Grove High School senior Mike Pauls was named the state runner-up at the IHSA Congressional Debate Tournament in March.

De Slottslejonen (Zweeds voor 'kasteelleeuwen') zijn twee sculpturen die leeuwen voorstellen, opgesteld op de Lejonbacken aan de noordzijde van het Koninklijk paleis in Gamla Stan, Stockholm (Zweden).

Beschrijving
De leeuwen zijn niet identiek of elkaars spiegelbeeld. De ene richt zijn kop naar het westen, de ander naar het oosten, maar beide kijken naar het noorden en houden hun linkerpoot op een wereldbol. Elke leeuw is ongeveer 1,7 bij 2,7 bij 1 meter groot. De rechthoekige sokkels zijn 1,9 bij 2,7 bij 1,2 meter groot.

Geschiedenis
De beeldhouwwerken werden gemaakt door de Franse beeldhouwer Bernard Fouquet, die in de periodes 1696-1706 en 1707-1711 werkte aan het paleis. Fouquet liet zich sterk inspireren door de twee marmeren Medici-leeuwen. Het ene kunstwerk stamt uit de klassieke oudheid, de ander uit 1598. Ze stonden oorspronkelijk opgesteld bij de Villa Medici in Rome totdat ze verhuisden naar de Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence. Fouquets ontwerp werd in 1700 goedgekeurd door Karel XII en in 1702 en 1704 werden de leeuwen gegoten in brons door een gieterij op Norrmalm, waarna ze op de Lejonbacken werden geplaatst. Het brons waarvan de leeuwen zijn gemaakt was oorlogsbuit uit het kasteel van Kronborg (Helsingør, Denemarken), van een veldtocht van Karel X Gustaaf.

Een afgietsel van de oostelijke leeuw werd in 1936 in Narva opgesteld als gedenkteken voor de slag bij Narva in 1700, en kwam bekend te staan als de Zweedse leeuw in Narva.

SO cute! You've inspired me to pull out the scarf I started knitting last winter and attempt to finish it before this one is over. Love your blog too!

As a healing stone, carnelian is gently activating and warming, and will encourage the natural healing abilities of the body. This is partly because it energizes the sacral chakra, where stress and trauma tends to become lodged. Carnelian helps to gently release these imbalances, even if they have been present for many years.
Carnelian is a very powerful ACTION stone for focusing, realization and actualization.

Гай Ма́рций Фигу́л (; умер вскоре поле 64 года до н. э.) — римский политический деятель из плебейского рода Марциев, консул 64 года до н. э. вместе с Луцием Юлием Цезарем. Поддерживал Марка Туллия Цицерона в его борьбе с Луцием Сергием Катилиной, оставил о себе память как обладатель роскошной гробницы.

Биография
Гай Марций принадлежал к знатному плебейскому роду Марциев, представители которого начали занимать высшие должности сразу после допуска плебеев к консулату в IV веке до н. э. Их предком считался один из римских царей Анк Марций, который, в свою очередь, по матери был внуком Нумы Помпилия. Самым видным представителем ветви Фигулов был прадед Гая, консул 162 и 156 годов до н. э. того же имени. Сын Гая-старшего, тоже Гай, прошёл карьеру только до претуры, а о внуке вообще ничего не известно (видимо, он не занимал никаких видных должностей). Таким образом, Гаю-младшему пришлось возрождать былое величие своей семьи. Каким образом он смог это сделать и добиться консулата, остаётся неясным: источники ничего не сообщают о жизни Фигула до 64 года до н. э.

Учитывая требования Корнелиева закона, определившего минимальные временные промежутки между высшими магистратурами, исследователи датируют самое позднее 67 годом до н. э. претуру Гая Марция. В 64 году до н. э. он стал консулом совместно с патрицием Луцием Юлием Цезарем; исследователи в связи с этим отмечают, что между Марциями и Юлиями был давний союз, и такой состав консульской коллегии не выглядит как случайный. Известно, что под председательством Фигула или Цезаря сенат постановил ограничить число лиц, сопровождающих кандидатов в магистраты, а также признал несколько городских коллегий подлежащими роспуску из-за наносимого ими ущерба свободе народных собраний и общественному порядку.

Гай Марций поддержал Марка Туллия Цицерона в его борьбе с Луцием Сергием Катилиной. Он участвовал в заседании сената 5 декабря 63 года до н. э., на котором решалась судьба сторонников Катилины, и вместе с другими консулярами (бывшими консулами) высказался за казнь без суда. Уже через несколько лет после этих событий Фигул был мёртв: такой вывод следует из упоминания его гробницы в трактате Цицерона «О законах». Автор трактата в разговоре со своим другом Аттиком приводит эту гробницу как доказательство того, что современные ему римляне не знают меры в расходах на роскошь.

Injuries are an everyday affair. Explicit affair.
You don't have to play sports to suffer from any kind of injuries. Injuries happen due to accidents, repeated stressful movement of some part of the body and so on.
However there are two types of injuries whose names are associated with two sports but in some way not related to these sports!
They are Tennis elbow and Golfer's elbow.
You do not have to be Tiger Woods or even Roger Federer to attain these injuries. Whether it is a tennis elbow or a golfer's elbow.
With Sachin Tendulkar making headlines with his 'tennis elbow' injury, These injuries usually occur due to a various overuse of the elbows. These overuse injuries caused mainly due to over excessive activity which requires the repetitive motion of the arm and the wrist as well.
Now both these injuries are a form of epicondylitis which is an inflammation of tendons that attach the elbow. Tennis elbow injury affects the lateral or external epicondyle.
Pain from a tennis elbow injury is usually surrounding the external part of the elbow to the forearm and wrist. The pain from the injury is not constant in nature and mainly occurs while grabbing or lifting something. It is important to consult a reputed doctor to make sure the correct diagnosis is made.
Medial epicondylitis is an irritation in the inner part of the elbow and arm. The golfer's elbow is mainly caused by continuous twisting or flexing of the wrist. Tasks such as shovelling, throwing a ball, gardening or playing golf as such can cause golfer's elbow as it results in overuse of forearm muscles.
One of the main symptoms of Golfer's elbow is the pain on the inside of the elbow especially when lifting the wrist or the hand, twisting the forearm or making a fist. The area of the elbow is usually slightly swollen and even tender to touch.
Giving the elbow adequate rest helps in the recovery of the elbow in the case of tennis and golf elbow injury. It usually takes several weeks for the elbow to regain its full functioning without any kind of pain.
Applying ice on the inflamed area helps in the reduction of swelling along with consistently doing exercises which stretch and strengthen the muscles on the forearm.
In extreme cases, doctors may also suggest therapy for the arm. It is mainly physical therapy and helps in managing the condition.
The game between tennis and golfer's elbow is nothing but a clash of positions of the pain. Hence, it is very important to identify the symptoms effectively so that it can be treated accordingly.

Facial plastic surgery procedures can rejuvenate your facial features to address signs of aging. They can also reshape specific areas of the face to improve balance and proportion. If you're considering facial surgery, it's especially important that you choose a skilled and board-certified plastic surgeon. Our services include the following facial procedures.
Weak or hollow cheeks can be caused by a variety of factors, including age and your natural bone structure. Fortunately, there are a variety of cheek augmentation options that can remedy sunken cheeks through the use of implants, fat grafts, or dermal fillers. Dr. Kotlarz offers several different cheek augmentation techniques, just ask him about these.
Chin surgery can reshape, reduce, or augment your chin. The procedure may involve surgical enhancement with a simple implant or reduction surgery on the bone.
CO2 Laser can refinish the top skin layers with precise laser implementation. The treatments soften the sharp edges of surface irregularities, giving the skin a smoother, younger glow.
Ear surgery, or otoplasty, can set prominent ears back closer to the head or reduce the size of large ears. This operation is often done on children between the ages of four and fourteen however many adults request a "tiny pinch" for a softer profile.
Eyelid surgery is a procedure to remove fat, usually along with excess skin and muscle, from the upper and lower eyelids. This surgery can correct drooping upper lids and puffy bags creating unseemly shadows below your eyes.
A facelift can reduce or improve signs of aging in the lower and middle areas of the face. This is achieved by removing excess facial fat, tightening underlying muscles, and redraping the skin of your face and neck. Oftentimes only a mini-facelift or neck-lift is necessary.
Facial implant surgery is a largely growing area of facial plastic surgery. It is designed to restore facial tissue and contour. Facial implants are capable of defining and sculpting the face to correct facial imbalances, ultimately creating a more harmonious, attractive look.
Fat grafting is the process of harvesting fat cells from one area of the body and then re-implanting them into other areas which require improvement. Fat grafting can be used to augment the hollow cheek areas, correct tissue depressions, minimize wrinkles, or even enhance the lips.
A mid facelift can treat deep nasolabial folds and sagging cheeks, with shorter recovery than a full facelift. If you're considering a facelift or injectable fillers, the midface lift with Dr. Kotlarz may be a better alternative.
Stubborn fatty deposits present beneath the chin often prove resistant to diet and exercise. Neck liposuction can be used to remove fat from the chin and provide an appealing, more well defined contour to the neck and lower face.
Nose surgery, called Rhinoplasty, can enhance the proportion of your nose as it relates to other facial features. The surgery can reduce or increase nose size, change the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip.

Ayodhya hearing to conclude tomorrow; Hindus say no one can claim exclusive possession of site
The hearing in the sensitive Ram Janmbhoomi-Babri Masjid land dispute case in SC has reached Day 39. The proceedings are likely to end on October 16, 2019, which would be the fortieth day of the case

The hearing in the sensitive Ram Janmbhoomi-Babri Masjid land dispute case in the Supreme Court has reached Day 39. The proceedings are likely to end on October 16, 2019, which would be the fortieth day of the case. The hearings had originally been scheduled to end on October 17, with the court expected to announce a verdict before the incumbent Chief Justice demits office on November 17.
Senior advocate K Parasaran, appearing for 'Ram Lalla Virajman', one of the parties in the dispute, made his rejoinder arguments today. He stressed the importance of the birthplace of Lord Ram for the Hindus. He pointed out that there are many mosques in Ayodhya, but 'Ram Lalla's' birthplace can't be changed.
In a change of tact, following the observation of Rajeev Dhavan — who represents the Muslim petitioners — on Monday, September 14, that most of the questions of the Bench were directed to him, the bench was seen to be asking Parasaran a number of questions.
The Bench, comprising Justices SA Bobde, DY Chandrachud, Ashok Bhushan and SA Nazeer, asked Parasaran questions on legal issues like the law of limitation, doctrine of adverse possession and questions as to how Muslims are ousted from seeking title over the 2.77 acre disputed land at Ayodhya. In response, Parasaran seemed to be fumbling.
In jest, Chief Justice also asked Rajeev Dhavan if he felt the court was asking enough questions of the Hindu parties, to which Dhavan said that he didn't mean it that way.
Attempting to state that the title belonged to them, Parasaran said no person —either Muslim or Hindu — could claim exclusive possession of the site as it was a place of public worship. Parasaran added that exclusive possession for a place of worship can be claimed only when one has a clear title over the property.
The remark was objected to by Dhavan, who said the dispute was not one between worshippers of different religions. He said, "Once it is a valid Waqf property, possessory and management rights can be laid," Dhavan added.
Refusing to listen to Dhavan's objections, Parasaran said he would only answer to objections raised by the court.
When the bench asked Parasaran if he accepted Dhavan argument that "once a mosque, always a mosque", Parasaran said, "No. My case is, once a temple, always a temple. I won't comment on their argument since I'm not an expert."
The court then asked Parasaran about possessory title without adverse possession. Justice Chandrachud asked Parasaran if he thought that a party may not have to go as far as to establish adverse possession, but could they claim title by seeking declaration of possessory title? To this, again, Parasaran did not have clear answers.
After lunch, Parasaran concluded his arguments contending that the Sunni Waqf Board can't make any claims on basis of the initial conquest by Babar and the subsequent conquest by the British.
Then, Senior Advocate CS Vaidyanathan, representing deity 'Ram Lalla' began his arguments, stating that the Muslims have come up with the argument of dedication because of long use. "But there is an admission of the deity being the prior owner," underscored Vaidyanathan.
In a heated exchange between Vaidyanathan and Dhavan, the former complained that he could not go on arguing with Dhavan commenting beside him. Slamming his statements, Dhavan said it was Vaidyanathan who began it and was always commenting when Dhavan was arguing. "Stop it, stop it. You were the one making comments while I was arguing," Dhavan said.
"How can he speak like that asking me to stop it," Vaidyanathan said, and stopped arguing for a brief period and sat down. The CJI then diffused the situation and Vaidyanathan resumed his arguments.
He argued that, "If the place is sanctified as a deity and if Hindus continued to worship at that place, there cannot be claim of adverse possession by Muslims." He claims that since there was joint possession of the property with the same being used a temple/ deity too, the dedication of the property as a mosque cannot be considered.
Wednesday, October 16, would be the last day of the hearing in the case. Vaidyanathan would be given 45 minutes and Dhavan would get an hour for his rejoinder.
Fourteen appeals have been filed in the apex court against the 2010 Allahabad High Court judgment, delivered in four civil suits, that the 2.77-acre land in Ayodhya be partitioned equally among the three parties -- the Sunni Waqf Board, the Nirmohi Akhara and Ram Lalla

This fine Hermann Richard Pfretzschner violin bow, a personal work after Tourte, leaves no doubt as to the epochal lifetime achievement of this bow maker. After his three years in Paris under Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume, Hermann Richard Pfretzschner returned to his home in Saxony in 1875 and set new standards, turning his father's atelier into a wide-open door for contemporary French style. In keeping with his earlier works, this unstamped violin bow after Tourte is in good weight and its craftsmanship demonstrates a delicate elegance and refinement, especially at the head. The outstanding weight distribution and centrally positioned balance point, slightly inclined to the upper half of the stick, give musicians a wide range of options in their performance and musical expression. The solid round stick was crafted of premium dark-brown pernambuco, and the blank ebony frog is mounted in genuine silver. This fine and highly recommended H. R. Pfretzschner violin bow was meticulously set up by the specialists at our atelier for restoration, and it is now ready to play. It produces a full, warm, sophisticated sound with compelling size and precision.

Economics in the News – Nov. 7–13, 2022
o Bitcoin is experiencing one of the biggest crashes in history. Research from Bank of America notes that the latest crypto crash is the fifth-worst all-time and the worst since the 1970s. Bitcoin – the largest cryptocurrency – has declined 77 percent since it traded at $70,000 last November. The crypto market has plummeted from $3 trillion to $900 billion.
The cryptocurrency crash is reminiscent of the dotcom crash from March 2000. The two have similarities in their rise in popularity came in bull markets but like cryptocurrencies, companies raised a lot of cash without a business plan. [FORTUNE]
o With gas prices soaring, some consumers are turning to electric cars for their mode of transportation. Registration outside California, which has 39 percent of all U.S. electric vehicles registered, is up 50 percent. Battery-powered vehicles are the fastest-growing segment of the auto market, with 70 percent higher sales through October compared to last year. Sales of conventional cars fell 15 percent over that same period.
Costs are factors in consumers decisions to purchase electric cars, as driving on electricity is generally less expensive. High gas prices have convinced customers that buying an electric vehicle can save costs on gas and oil changes. However, the lack of a charging network in rural areas can make a long-distance road trip difficult to make. [The New York Times]
o Have you been tempted to buy alt-meat substitutes? The market for meat substitutes that led to consumer curiosity and were seen as an alternative to do less harm to the environment, animals and their health has softened. Sales of alt-meat brands were 10 percent lower in the past year with some companies, such as Beyond Meat, announcing it would lay off 19 percent of its workforce.
With the global consumption of meat doubling since 1990 and the estimated rise to 374 metric tons of meat by 2030 by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, why have alt-meat brands struggled. The Washington Post gives five explanations which some include price, too many players in the market, and restaurants not buying in. [The Washington Post]
o Travelers headed home for the holiday season will spend more this year. Travel experts expect huge demand this year, as airlines are still operating fewer flights than in 2019. Government data suggests that airfare costs 43 percent more this year compared to last year. Meanwhile, hotels are still struggling with labor shortages, another reason for the higher prices. While the price for car rentals has declined since peak 2021, prices remain elevated.
The number of travelers going through security checkpoints was 95 percent of 2019 traffic, according to Transportation Security Administration officials in October. It is expected that this year's holiday travel might top pre-pandemic levels. [Associated Press]

Let's go where the river otters go.
By John Page Williams
Have you seen round five-toed tracks on the beach, leading to a dune where sand and grasses are all torn up in a circle? A dog's trail perhaps? No, they have only four toes, and their tracks are oval. A raccoon's? No, their "fingers" are long and narrow. Look closely around the dune. Might there be a pile of small fish scales and bones somewhere in the circle? What kind of critter is this? Why does it act this way?
These subtle indicators are what wildlife biologists call "sign," and they are easy to overlook. Half of getting tuned into the natural history of the Chesapeake simply comes from slowing down and looking around. Gradually, sign like the tracks and the fish bones bring the animal and its
lifestyle into focus. The tracks belong to a river otter. These furbearers are well-distributed around the Chesapeake and its river systems, including the Susquehanna, but at this time of year, they see more of us than we see of them. In warm weather, river otters are most active at dusk, night, and dawn. Thus, early morning beach walks are best for finding fresh tracks. These frequently show a pattern of bounding, in which the animal's long, sinuous body undulates so that the hind paws come down just behind where the front paws landed as the animal springs forward for another bound.
The tracks often lead to a spot where the otter stops to roll around on sand and grass to dry out a bit. Hence the messy-looking appearance of the area, which may also serve as a "spraint," a biologist's scientific euphemism for an otter's latrine. The little piles of scales and bones constitute "scat," or material that has made its way through the otter's durable digestive tract.
An otter's coat consists of inch-long, stiff guard hairs and denser, shorter underfur with more than 300,000 hairs per square-inch. That furry wetsuit protects them in winter, when drying out helps to preserve insulation, but it is less important now, with water temperatures headed to the mid-seventies and up.
For the most part, river otters are social animals. Behavioral studies indicate that rolling around on grass and sand, urinating, and dropping scat serve to mark territories for family recognition and communication more than for defending an area. In early summer, family groups are generally made up of a female with new-born pups just beginning to get into the water and staying close to their den. The females keep mature males and the previous year's young away from the pups till fall. Thus, tracks on the beaches and spraints tend to be made by bachelors who can range as far as thirty miles in a week, foraging to keep their high metabolisms primarily fueled with fish supplemented by shellfish, crayfish and frogs. Their diets vary with seasonal abundance of different prey. What counts in the otter's diet is getting the most nutrition with the least expenditure of energy, so they favor slow-moving meals such as killifish, sunfish, white perch, and spot in the three- to six-inch range. At this time of year, they'll also eat crabs, especially vulnerable softies and paper-shells (buckrams). They'll eat small fish in the water, generally head-first, but they come onto the beach for larger prey.
Since otters live primarily on fish, they must be impressively adapted to swimming underwater. They measure three to five feet in length and weigh 15 to 30 pounds, with females typically 25 to 30 percent smaller than males. Of that length, one-third is tail, a thickly muscled, tapered rudder. Their legs are short but powerful with webbed feet and claws. The flexibility that enables their bounding terrestrial gait is most useful in the water where the streamlined animals can swim as fast as seven miles per hour, dive as deep as 60 feet, stay underwater for four minutes and travel as far as a quarter-mile in one breath. Propulsion comes from whatever combination of paddling with feet and up-and-down body-and-tail movement meets the needs of the moment. At the surface, they remain mostly concealed, with only the tops of their flat heads including nostrils, eyes, and ears, above the surface.

When submerged, the otter's ears and nostrils close to exclude water, and its extra, transparent eyelids cover its eyes. The lenses are geared for underwater vision, which makes them slightly nearsighted above water. The lungs and metabolism have adaptations that allow them to stay submerged longer than most other mammals. The forepaws are sensitive and flexible for feeling and manipulating prey. Look closely at a photograph of an otter's face and you'll notice a forest of whiskers around its mouth. These too aid in feeling out surroundings and prey underwater. The jaws are powerful, equipped with sharp canine teeth for killing prey and molars for crushing shells and bones.
Otters in the wild live about eight years. Captive otters might live as long as 25 years. They have few predators. Even the remaining Chesapeake commercial trappers take little interest in them, since they are hard to outwit and the price for their pelts is relatively low. The otter's greater threat is the loss of habitat and prey from human shoreline disturbance and poor water quality. As with many other Bay creatures (including ourselves), improvements to the ecosystem benefit our still-very-wild river otters. Just coming across their sign on a June morning's beach walk is an encouraging indication that we're moving in the right direction.
