Home-Defense Buckshot: Which Size is Best?
by Wiley Clapp - Wednesday, June 19, 2019
This article, "Buckshot'" appeared originally as a Fightin' Iron column in the July 2017 issue of Shooting Illustrated. To subscribe to the magazine, visit the NRA membership page here and select Shooting Illustrated as your member magazine.
In the 1939 cinematic masterpiece that defined him, "Stagecoach" actor John Wayne's Ringo Kid prepared for the fight with the evil Plummer brothers. These three scoundrels attempted to get an unfair advantage by arming one of their number with a shotgun loaded with buckshot. Thus was the public perception of the shotgun, generally viewed as the most terrifying close-range arm available. On the frontier, the shotgun was sometimes shortened for ease of handling and invariably stoked with a palm full of the large lead balls known as buckshot. It was widely held that it was hard to miss with this combination—the spread would sweep the field of battle like some gigantic scythe. This is just the first of many misconceptions that infest shotgun and buckshot lore.
Despite the multitude of "bravo-sierra" about fighting shotguns, they are probably the most-effective personal firearm for close-range defense work. While it lacks the concealability and portability of the handgun or the range and accuracy of a rifle, the shotgun is nonetheless effective within its range. And its range is far greater than you might imagine. The key to getting the most from a scattergun is choosing the right gun or the right ammo—or both. While there is much to be said for the shotgun slug, the best all-around choice is probably buckshot—a number of large lead balls, sometimes alloyed with tin and antimony or plated with copper or nickel. In common use, there are several sizes of buckshot, designated: No. 4 (.24 inch), No. 3 (.25 inch), No. 2 (.27 inch), No. 1 (.30 inch), Aught (.32 inch), 00 (.33 inch) and 000 (.36 inch). Most commonly, 12-gauge shotguns are the go-to choice for defensive purposes when a shotgun is needed, and have from 27 No. 4s to eight 000s. It is also possible to find higher buckshot-pellet counts in 2 3/4-inch and 3-inch magnum loads. There are plenty of options. With all varieties of ammunition, the goal is the same.
Combat shotguns and buckshot loads are used to increase terminal performance and not hit probability. To do that, the hit must be well-placed, the pattern must be fairly small and the pellets must penetrate deeply. For many years, the conventional wisdom was that a shotgun barrel that had no choke (cylinder bore) was best for use with buckshot. For new combat-shotgun shooters, the choke is a small section of reduced diameter (or constriction) at the muzzle end of a shotgun bore. Generally, the smaller the shot, the greater the effect of choke on the on-target pattern.
In an effort to determine what size buckshot and what choke are best-suited for defensive work, I once did a very elaborate series of patterning tests. I obtained samples of all available 12-gauge buckshot loads (from No. 4 buckshot to 000) from all three major shotshell makers in America. That's a total of 50 different buckshot loads from Remington, Federal and Winchester. I fired four rounds of each (the tube capacity of most guns) in short barrels with cylinder, modified and full chokes. That is some 600 rounds of ammo, a monumental amount of work. The resulting 150 four-shot IPSC targets were carefully tabulated for distribution of pellets in the various scoring rings. I concluded several different points. The main one is simple: Triple-aught is the most-effective size of buckshot.
If you are working with one of the tens of thousands of unchoked, "cylinder-bore" police shotguns in current circulation, triple-aught buckshot will pattern tighter than the next closest contender, which is the more-common 00 buckshot. Several mechanical factors contribute to the effectiveness of the various buckshot sizes and chokes. One is avoiding, as much as is possible, the deformation of those big buckshot pellets in their journey from the hull to target. A pellet deformed out of round will usually fly away from its mates, often enough to miss a man-size target completely. Avoid deformed pellets by using not only carefully honed forcing cones and chokes, but also harder shot—either alloyed or plated—to resist deformation.
A very small, tight pattern with 000 or 00 buckshot is quite effective, but the smaller the pattern, the greater the possibility of a complete miss. I once set out to determine the longest-possible shot that might be required in typical in-house defensive shootings. We went completely through a typical three-bedroom home and measured possible maximum shooting distances. That turned out to be 12 yards, and the group was about the size of a salad plate. It's best to center a group that small on the center-of-mass of the target. Understand that a fighting shotgun is not like a bird gun that is pointed at an area in the hopes of getting a few hits, but rather more like a rifle that is aimed at a point in the hope of getting them all in. Ghost-ring sights are a big help, in my opinion.
There are a couple of other advantages to good ol' 000 buckshot. One is range, where the bigger pellets tend to maintain velocity farther out. My shooting with several types of loads tells me that the oft-quoted "maximum-effective range" of 25 yards for 00 buck would go at least 10 yards farther with 000. And since the velocity persists longer, the individual pellets would tend to penetrate more deeply.
Buckshot—in a properly sighted and choked combat shotgun—may be the most-effective combination you can manage with your own two hands. The multi-pellet nature of a buckshot load virtually guarantees a decisive stop when properly placed. Buckshot is not a panacea, where you fill the air with lead and hope the law of averages is in your favor. You have to hit your intended target, but that is the nature of using fightin' iron.

WASHINGTON, D.C., January 22, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – President Donald Trump proclaimed Monday, January 22, 2018, "National Sanctity of Human Life Day." The proclamation comes on the 45th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the landmark decision that legalized abortion in the U.S. throughout the entire nine months of a mother's pregnancy.
Trump emphasized that science is on the side of life in the proclamation, mentioning it twice.
Trump praised the pro-life movement in his proclamation for its commitment not only to unborn children, but to mothers of unborn children. He praised healthcare workers who uphold life in their work. He praised legislators who work to create protections on behalf of life. And he praised those who took part in the March for Life to witness to life.
Trump's proclamation also stated that reverence for human life "animates our concern for single moms; the elderly, the infirm, and the disabled; and orphan and foster children," and "compels us to address" the opioid epidemic and mental health issues.
Reagan issued the proclamation each year during his eight-year presidency on the Sunday closest to the Roe v. Wade anniversary.
This practice of declaring Sanctity of Human Life Day in conjunction with the annual commemoration of Roe v. Wade has been either continued - or not - every year since Reagan's 1984 declaration depending on who's been in the White House.
It was continued every year throughout the administration of Reagan's successor, George H.W. Bush. Bill Clinton then dropped it during his eight years as president, and George W. Bush then resumed it again for his eight years in office.


We live in a digital age. Our bank accounts; investment accounts; credit card accounts; accounts with Amazon, Joss & Main and all the other online stores, have digital access and passwords. And, if you haven't planned for your digital assets and your passwords, there's a hole in your estate plan.
Don't assume that unless it says so, somebody with power of attorney can get access to those things. Don't assume that your executor, administer or trustee can get to those things.
In this Estate Planning Minute, Wes Coulson, Illinois Elder Law attorney, discusses another common estate planning mistake and why it's important to plan for our digital assets and passwords.
Hi, I'm Wes Coulson and this is your Estate Planning Minute. This is another in our series on Common Estate Planning Mistakes. The one I want to talk about today is, interestingly enough, a mistake made by a lot of people who already even have their Estate Plans in place and believe that they have everything in order.
Here's the thing, we live in a digital age. Our bank accounts, investment accounts, credit card accounts, accounts with Amazon and Joss & Main and all the people that sell online, have digital access and passwords. If you haven't planned for your digital assets and your passwords, there's a hole in your plan.
Don't assume that unless it says so that somebody with power of attorney can get access to those things. Don't assume that your executor, administer or trustee can get to those things.
That's why we have recently added language to all of our estate planning documents to cover all of the situations that may come up where there is a need for somebody on your behalf to have access to those. You could have money in accounts lost, balances due that aren't paid and keep adding up interest, worse yet, you could have accounts hacked at your tremendous disadvantage.
So, if your estate plan doesn't address your digital assets and passwords, you need to fix that. You need to see an attorney who is in tune to that and can help. We can help. Thanks.

Before the lineup of phones with Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 operating system debuted, there was much speculation over whether the new offerings would support memory cards. When the phones hit shelves last week, it turned out that at least one model, the Samsung Focus, had memory card support (unlike Apple iPhones).
But the option could inspire more nightmares than joy, given that the Samsung phone appears to fry any card not "certified for the Windows Phone 7," according to AT&T, one of the carriers of Microsoft's Windows Phone 7. The only problem? No such cards exist, at least so far.
In a statement, AT&T advised Samsung Focus customers to "delay purchasing an external microSD card until the cards identified as 'Certified for Windows Phone 7' are available commercially or in AT&T stores."
The platform is apparently quite choosy and, in essence, permanently modifies the card so "it will no longer be readable or writable on any other devices such as computers, cameras, printers, and so on," according to Samsung. The company also said that Focus customers could experience a "performance degradation" or "device instability" from the use of an "unauthorized" card.
Microsoft is banking on the Windows Phone 7 launch to recapture ground in the smartphone market lost to Apple's iPhone, Research in Motion's Blackberry and phones running on Google's Android operating system.
Samsung and Microsoft were not immediately available for comment.

Q: foreach loop over SimpleXMLElement not working, only 1 element as result I have xml file with this structure:
$xmlString = '
  <plist>
    <categories>
      <category>
        <id>1</id>
        <parent>0</parent>
        <description><![CDATA[Test 1]]></description>
      </category>
      <category>
        <id>2</id>
        <parent>1</parent>
        <description><![CDATA[Test 1.1]]></description>
      </category>
      <category>
        <id>3</id>
        <parent>1</parent>
        <description><![CDATA[Test 1.2]]></description>
      </category>
      </categories>
  </plist>';

Now I'm trying to build an array this way:
$xmlData = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlString);

$results = [];

foreach($xmlData->categories->category as $key => $category){
  $results[$key]['id']       = isset($category->id) ? (string)$category->id : false;
  $results[$key]['parentId'] = isset($category->parent) ? (string)$category->parent : false;
  $results[$key]['name']     = isset($category->description) ? (string)$category->description : false;
}

echo '
'.print_r($results,true).'
';

But the result is only the last entry:
Array
(
  [category] => Array
    (
      [id] => 3
      [parentId] => 1
      [name] => Test 1.2
    )

)

The SimpleXMLElement Object looks like this:
SimpleXMLElement Object
(
  [categories] => SimpleXMLElement Object
    (
      [category] => Array
        (
            [0] => SimpleXMLElement Object
                (
                    [id] => 1
                    [parent] => 0
                    [description] => SimpleXMLElement Object
                        (
                        )

                )

            [1] => SimpleXMLElement Object
                (
                    [id] => 2
                    [parent] => 1
                    [description] => SimpleXMLElement Object
                        (
                        )

                )

            [2] => SimpleXMLElement Object
                (
                    [id] => 3
                    [parent] => 1
                    [description] => SimpleXMLElement Object
                        (
                        )

                  )

            )

      )

)

So category is an array and i don't understand why the foreach loop isn't working. The key Should be 1,2,3 or not?

A: Replace you loop with this. $key was always a single and same key. so it was over-writting everytime
$counter=0;

foreach($xmlData->categories->category as $category){
  $results[$counter]['id']       = isset($category->id) ? (string)$category->id : false;
  $results[$counter]['parentId'] = isset($category->parent) ? (string)$category->parent : false;
  $results[$counter]['name']     = isset($category->description) ? (string)$category->description : false;
  $counter++;
}

A: Okay, here's an answer without counters but with simple []:
foreach($xmlData->categories->category as $category){
    $results[] = array(
        'id' => isset($category->id) ? (string)$category->id : false,
        'parentId' => isset($category->parent) ? (string)$category->parent : false,
        'name' => isset($category->description) ? (string)$category->description : false,
    );
}

A: use like this
$xmlData = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlString);
$results = [];
$ii = 0;
foreach($xmlData->categories->category as $category){
$results[$ii]['id']       = isset($category->id) ? (string)$category->id : false;
$results[$ii]['parentId'] = isset($category->parent) ? (string)$category->parent : false;
$results[$ii]['name']     = isset($category->description) ? (string)$category->description : false;
$ii++;
}

echo '
'.print_r($results,true).'
';

A: Use this:
$xmlString = '
  <plist>
    <categories>
      <category>
        <id>1</id>
        <parent>0</parent>
        <description><![CDATA[Test 1]]></description>
      </category>
      <category>
        <id>2</id>
        <parent>1</parent>
        <description><![CDATA[Test 1.1]]></description>
      </category>
      <category>
        <id>3</id>
        <parent>1</parent>
        <description><![CDATA[Test 1.2]]></description>
      </category>
      </categories>
  </plist>';

$xml = simplexml_load_string($xmlString, "SimpleXMLElement", LIBXML_NOCDATA | LIBXML_NOWARNING | LIBXML_NOERROR | LIBXML_HTML_NOIMPLIED | LIBXML_HTML_NODEFDTD);

$json = json_encode($xml);
$data = json_decode($json, true);
// print_r($data);
$result = array();

if(isset($data['categories']['category'])) {
    foreach($data['categories']['category'] as $array){
        // print_r($array);
        $result[] = $array;
    }
}
print_r($result);

Result:
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [id] => 1
            [parent] => 0
            [description] => Test 1
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [id] => 2
            [parent] => 1
            [description] => Test 1.1
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [id] => 3
            [parent] => 1
            [description] => Test 1.2

Why is Twenty One Pilots album called Blurryface?
By editor April 4, 2020 6 min read
Their fourth album name, 'Blurryface', is based on a persona of the same name created by vocalist Tyler Joseph. He said that the character represents both his and other people's insecurities. He uses blank ink on his neck and hands to represent this character, as seen in the 'Stressed Out' music video. 4.
Does the lead singer of 21 pilots have autism?
Tyler Joseph does not have a condition, he has depression and anxiety, but is getting better. In 2007, he released an album by the name of "No Phun Intended", which he did not know would become public and only used it to express his feelings of anxiety and depression.
What is the meaning of domingo en fuego?
Domingo en fuego means "Sunday on fire." Sunday is considered a day of rest for people of the same religion as Tyler, and is the day most people attend church. And fire is religious imagery associated with Hell.
Why does the lead singer of 21 pilots have black hands?
Twenty One Pilots drummer Josh Dun says the black makeup he wears onstage is a nod to his "insecurity." Dun covers his neck and hands in the makeup while performing live with bandmate Tyler Joseph. He tells the London Evening Standard: "Insecurity for me feels like the sensation of suffocating.

Where does the name Domingo come from?
Spanish: from a personal name (Latin Dominicus meaning 'of the Lord', from dominus 'lord', 'master'). This was borne by a Spanish saint (1170–1221) who founded the Dominican order of friars and whose fame added greatly to the popularity of the name, already well established because of its symbolic value.

It means Twenty One Pilots, the logo does. When you're in the room by yourself trying to decide whether to stay alive, you can tell yourself "I should probably stay alive because I'm the only one who knows the meaning of that thing," so the logo is an encouragement for people to create. That's what it means.
When did Blurryface by Twenty One Pilots come out?
It ended as #31 on US Billboard 200 in 2015 and #6 in 2016, becoming platinum on March 3, 2017. Blurryface is the first album to have every track certified gold, platinum, or multi-platinum.

When did Blurryface come out on the Billboard 200?
Blurryface debuted at #1 the Billboard 200 album chart. Since then, it has broken multiple records and met many milestones in its time on the chart. However, the album ended its 276-week run on the Billboard 200 album chart the week of September 12, 2020. What does "FPE" mean?

July 18, 2019 This Day in Rock
The Zombie You Know – An Interview with Scott Ian of Anthrax
Interview conducted in October 2011
by Melanie Falina
It's been a hell of a year for Scott Ian. Not that the previous years have been uneventful - by far. But 2011 has given birth to two new 'babies' for Ian. The first being his actual first born with singer Pearl Aday; a son - the second is, of course, Worship Music, Anthrax's long-awaited first studio album in eight years.
While Anthrax geared up to hit the road with supporting heavy hitters Testament and Death Angel, Scott Ian took a moment to discuss his bands, his baby, and his beloved zombies.
The new album, Worship Music, is a landmark release in a sense not just because it's been almost a decade since fans have had new Anthrax music to pump their fists to, but it also marks the return of vocalist Joey Belladonna. Belladonna's last studio release with the band was 1990's Persistence of Time.
Since its September 13 release Worship Music has conquered the band's highest chart debut in 20 years ranking at #12 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart, the second-highest in their career. The album also debuted at #4 on Billboard's Hard Rock Chart.
"We spent more time on this record than any other record we ever made - it feels more complete than anything that we've ever made," comments Scott Ian on Worship Music.
"We had the luxury of hindsight. It was the first time we were able to do that in the history of Anthrax and that's what makes this record better than any other record we've ever made."
Worship Music as a whole shows obvious growth for the band in terms of their song writing; but for Ian that growth wasn't exactly a conscious effort.
"I don't know, I never think about it. We just do what we do, I have no idea. I just think if there's anything I can say about that as far as the process goes and where sh*t comes from and how it works - I don't have a clue. I just think we get better at maybe knowing what we want so when we're actually jamming stuff and trying to arrange music I think we just get better at feeling it and knowing what's right and what's not right a little bit maybe quicker than we did last time around. That's maybe the only thing. You know, I really don't know because I never sit and think about writing, I never think about how it works, why it works, what we do - it just happens in the room and you just write songs. I suppose other people maybe really think about that process and how they do it and they're super disciplined about writing and all that kind of cr*p but it's something I never think about. Maybe if I thought about it, it would go away. It's something I never think about."
Ian goes on: "It's not a case of learning new stuff or opening up to new things, it's just my approach to the guitar has always been [that] the guitar is only a tool for songwriting for me. I could care less about sitting around and practicing the guitar for hours a day and trying to be the best guitar player on the planet. A guitar for me is pretty much strictly in the context of writing songs for my band, coming up with ideas with my band, and then being able to perform those songs as best as I can on stage - that's what the guitar for me has always been."
Speaking of guitars - and lots of them, Anthrax has had the pleasure of being 1/4th of The Big Four - the powerhouse of a metal tour which also includes Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth. What has that experience been like for Ian on a personal level?
"It's amazing. If we could just play Big 4 shows for the rest of our careers it would be awesome. Everything about it is great - like there's nothing negative to say about it. We get to be with all our friends and all these other bands who we've come up with forever. You know, it's great to get to hang out with everybody every time we do it; I enjoy all the other bands from a musical level and a fan level. And then we get to play these giant shows which are just incredible. And since Metallica has given us this opportunity to play to their audience which certainly they've probably heard of Anthrax but maybe have never owned a record or seen us live and now we get to go and do our thing in front of a lot of people who have never seen us before; the biggest metal audience in the world - and to have that opportunity it just amazing, it's an amazing thing. Because if you put us, Slayer, and Megadeth,[we] have toured together quite a bit as late as last year. If you put the three of us together and we can do from like 5,000 to let's say 15,000 people - depending on what city we're in, and then if you add Metallica and you make it The Big 4 those numbers go 50,000 to 100,000 people. So it's just an unbelievable opportunity for us in the most fun way I can ever imagine. It's just awesome".
"And the fans," adds Ian, "I mean on that side of it too, obviously the excitement for the show is incredible all over the world because every city wants the Big 4 show to come to their city and that's something that nobody in any of these bands takes for granted because the reason we all get to do this all these years later is because there are so many people all over the planet that love what we do and love this music. And from that end we all understand that it's an absolute privilege that we get to do this."
So who does Ian think the next Big 4 will be - 20 years from now?
"Um, I think it will still be us. laughs] "We'll only be in our 60's. The Stones are going strong and so is AC/DC, so hey."
Anthrax aside, Ian has also made his mark with The Damned Things in the last couple years as well - the mistress super-group (not a side project) consisting of Ian and Anthrax band mate Rob Caggiano along with Joe Trohman and Andy Hurley of Fall Out Boy and Keith Buckley and of Every Time I Die.
The 2010 release, Ironiclast, with its magical blend of styles, made a lot of waves creating a cross-over buzz that Ian is not unfamiliar with. Does Ian have any thoughts regarding a future sophomore release for The Damned Things?
"You know, I would love to say yes because we all take it extremely seriously and we all went into it with the idea that this is a band, it's not just a side project, that if we were going to do it, it would be a real band. Of course we all understand because of schedules being what they are with all our other bands it's not going to operate on a normal schedule like other bands would. We all of course would like to make another album at some point; obviously the hard part is when and how. But we all love it, we all love the record we made and I certainly feel like we can make another great record, it would just be a case of with all of us wrapping up into our day jobs, in a sense, I don't know when we'd be able to focus."
And what about S.O.D. - and chance of reigniting that spark?
"No. I think I can safely say that, yeah. It was never supposed to be any thing more than it was. As far as I'm concerned we did too much with it. It started out as comic book strip that I drew in the studio and then turned into this record that we made, but you know, that's all that it is for me. It's the opposite of The Damned Things, for me, it was never meant to be a real band with a schedule and making records and touring. S.O.D. was supposed to be the 'anti' of that, it was supposed to just be about having fun and never having it turn into something real where all of a sudden it's not just fun anymore - it becomes a job, it becomes a business. And I'm glad everyone around the world got to see it at least once because in '99 and 2000 we played everywhere and I don't feel the need to go out and do that again."
Another cool event to grace Ian's career in 2011 was a role in the hit shot The Walking Dead. Ian, a life-long zombie enthusiast was thrilled to be able to play a zombie on the show:
"It was amazing. It's something I've always wanted to do and to get to do it on the most professional level was really cool."
Any fan of horror has their own personal favorite boogieman. For some people it's vampires, for others it's lycanthropes; what is it about zombies that has always appealed to Ian?
"I don't know. What is it about a zombie that appeals to me? I don't know. Maybe that it's just the most possible - I don't know - of all the supernatural entities. To me zombies are the most realistic I guess, the idea of a zombie holocaust to me is [chuckles] more realistic than vampires or wolf-men, or whatever else is out there - the Abominable Snowman. I mean, I guess there's just something about it that going to see movies or reading books or comics about that, it's just something - the idea of the Apocalypse, I guess, is just something that moves me differently than other things."
Ian adds: "There are certain vampire books that I put up on kind of the same level whether it's like Salem's Lot from Stephen King or even the early issues of 30 Days of Night where to me vampires are much more animalistic and it's nothing like these stupid tv shows or movies that are made now where there are these romantic notions of vampires that are sexy creatures - they're animals that suck your blood and kill you and want nothing more than to do that. And when they're written that way I actually think that vampires are even better than zombies because they have a little bit more intelligence therefore maybe they're even scarier and not just running strictly on impulse. But I don't know, there's just something - maybe because as a kid the zombie movies to me were just better than any of the other movies. Like Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead - to me those movies were just better than any of the other horror movies I had seen up to that point."
Not that Ian doesn't already have a full plate between musical projects, his participation in the comic book Lobo, and the Ultimate Bet - but is there anything else that he'd like to accomplish in his career?
"Off the top of my head just one specific little selfish thing is that I do hope we get to play with AC/DC someday. Seriously, it's the one band we've never played with of all our heroes. I don't think we've ever even been on the same festival - even on different days. It's weird. Just out of my own selfishness I would hope someday we get to play a show with AC/DC because it's my favorite band of all time and it would be awesome to get to do that. That's just something way off the top of my head, as far as anything else goes other than getting to play a zombie in a movie, I can't really think of anything else."
And in regard to the most important role in Ian's life - becoming a father - has that experience changed Ian at all?
"It changes you from before the baby even comes and if it doesn't then you shouldn't have kids. He's the most important thing in my life, my first priority over everything."
Has it changed his perception of the world?
"My world-view is - in a sense - when it comes to that very small because I can't control what goes on outside of this house. I mean, you can't help but think crazy sh*t sometimes when it's four in the morning and your tired and you're up feeding your baby but that's just what every parent goes through; you've got this person that you're responsible for now and that you want to make sure that everything goes right for him and obviously that can be a bit daunting."
And Anthrax's agenda for the next year now that Worship Music has hit the atmosphere?
"We plan on going out and working as much as we can; as much as the world will have us."

Le zoo de Denver est un parc zoologique américain situé dans l'État du Colorado, à Denver, au sein du quartier de City Park. Fondé en 1896, il appartient à la municipalité et au comté de Denver, et représente l'attraction payante la plus fréquentée de l'agglomération en 2005.

Histoire
Le zoo fut créé lorsque le maire de Denver Thomas S. McMurry reçut en cadeau un ours noir orphelin nommé Billy Bryan en 1896. Les premiers animaux du parc furent des canards, des chiens de prairie, des antilopes ainsi que des faisans dorés. En 1905 furent ajoutés des écureuils roux qui proliférèrent au point de menacer les autres espèces. En 1906, le maire Robert W. Speer engagea des travaux pour transformer le zoo grâce aux plans du paysagiste Saco R. DeBoer. Victor H. Borcherdt fut nommé directeur du parc ; il construisit la Bear Mountain entre 1917 et 1918, qui accueille aujourd'hui des coatis et des ours. En 1937 fut ajoutée la Monkey Island, grâce à l'argent de la Works Progress Administration. Le zoo connut de nombreux aménagements à partir des années 1950.

En 1994, deux ours polaires sont nés en captivité dans le zoo. Ceux-ci résident aujourd'hui au SeaWorld d'Orlando en Floride. Le , un jaguar s'attaqua à un membre du personnel qui travaillait dans sa cage. La personne décéda de ses blessures tandis que le jaguar fut abattu en tentant de libérer sa victime. La personne se serait rendue par erreur dans la zone alors qu'il est en pourtant interdit de rentrer dans ce type de lieu lorsque les animaux sont présents.

Q: Disable wlan0 -device permanently I executed unsuccessfully the following line in /etc/rc.local with permissions 755:

sudo ifdown 00:1f:9c:c3:b3:77

where the last word is presenting the address of my wlan0 device.
Having the command rfkill block $IP-address-Of-my-wlan0 in startup scripts is not possible solution, since Network-manager is able to change soft-blocks.
You cannot configure each device separately in Network tools or in Network manager.  If you change one setting the setting applies to other wifi -device too. I cannot use WICD because I need Network Manager's Mobile Broadband -feature.
How can you put a permanent software block to the given wifi -device in Ubuntu 11.10 at each startup such that other programs such as Network manager do not change it?
There is probably a file which permissions are only needed to be changed to 700 to disallow for example Network Manager to reach the device wlan0.
How can you give only the user the permission to touch the device wlan0?

A: It's simply not possible to block root access to a file without using something like AppArmor or SELinux.
As long as your two WLAN devices use different drivers, this method should work for you:
First, determine which driver you are using.  In my case, from this output:
mark@xiii:/var/log$ sudo dmesg | grep -e 'Ethernet' -e 'WiFi'
...jme 0000:07:00.5: eth0: JMC250 Gigabit Ethernet chiprev:23....[SNIP]
...iwlagn: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link AGN driver for Linux, in-tree:
So this tells me my wifi driver is "iwlagn".  I can either append blacklist iwlagn to a file in /etc/modprobe.d/ or create a new file, perhaps /etc/modprobe.d/my-personal-blacklist.conf that only contains the line blacklist iwlagn.
