La fameuse « erreur de playlist » (niveau « mon chien a mangé mes devoirs »).

What fascinates me about this chess position is its origin. It was published in a manuscript by Al Adli in about 840 AD.

Al Adli was a great player of a game called Shatranj, a predecessor of modern chess. The pieces on the board, king, knight and rook moved the same as they do in modern chess, so even though this position was first studied well over 1000 years ago, it still has relevance today.

Edit - this was sent to me so I didn't credit - I sort of found it (of course) on Reddit!

In my futile quest to get more people to make mosquito traps for their yards, I made a visual. Please share with friends and sneak into any presentation you're giving even if it's completely unrelated to mosquitoes. Mosquito Dunks contain Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis ("Bti"), a bacteria that is safe for everything except mosquito larvae, work for approximately 30 days, and are available at most garden centers and hardware stores in North America. Bti-containing powders and liquids are sold worldwide under different trade names. NB: the white lid helps you see mosquito larvae (if present it's time to add another dose of Bti). #mosquitoes #mosquito #ipm
