Airport puts some grunt into bird problem
No one wants their plane to fly into a flock of birds during takeoff, and at one of the Netherlands' busiest hubs, they've come up with a most
creative approach to try to prevent such a catastrophe. A six-week project has been launched that has put pigs on a five-acre piece of land between two runways at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport, in the hopes the animals will devour discarded sugar beet there that attracts local geese and other birds. There are 20 pigs currently chowing down on the crop residue and they could also serve as scarecrows. From November 2018, there were more than 550 bird strikes near Schiphol - extremely dangerous, especially if any of the birds get sucked into a plane's engines. The airport already has 20 bird controllers and devices that emit loud noises and laser beams to frighten them away.
Pretty privilege for beauty contestants
Because of the new coronavirus variant, Omicron, Israel says it is banning all foreigners from entering the country — except, that is, Miss Universe contestants. "This is an event that will be broadcast in 174 countries, a very important event, an event that Eilat, too, is very much in need of," Tourism Minister Yoel Razvozov said. And thus the women contestants of the upcoming Miss Universe — a competition that judges women almost entirely on their looks and which was owned by Donald Trump for almost 20 years until his creepiness finally forced him out in 2015 — are getting waivers, allowing them to remain in Israel to strut their stuff in the beauty pageant starting December 12.
