Something as simple as black paint could be the key to reducing the
number of birds that are killed each year by wind turbines. According to
a study conducted at a wind farm on the Norwegian archipelago of Smøla,

Only wealthy households could afford livestock, be it cows or goats, but there was another way of getting animal protein: Fowling.
Initially it was done by throwing sticks at flying birds, and until the 5th dynasty it was mostly practiced as a sport by the elite. Later, everyone could get in on the action, just grab a stick, head out into the papyrus thickets (beware of the crocodiles), and shoot down some birdies.
New Kingdom love poems describe (Pap. Harries 500) how young women returned from fowling. The point of view in those poems are usually young men, and as such they can’t be taken as literal sources, but we also have the above depiction from the tomb of Menna TT69 (also NK) as a source.
Birds were taken home, fattened up (and their eggs eaten), and then butchered for their meat.

It’s common for cramping to happen for a few days after you have an abortion. It’s normal for your cramping to be accompanied by bleeding. You can use pads, tampons, or a menstrual cup for any bleeding — whatever’s the most comfortable for you.
To relieve your cramps, you can take acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin). You can also put a heating pad or hot water bottle on your belly or have someone rub your back. However, talk to your nurse or doctor if your cramps don’t get better after a few days or you’re experiencing abdominal pains for more than a few days. Learn more about abortion and what to expect..
