- 1960 – Jane Goodall arrives at the Gombe Stream Reserve in present-day Tanzania to begin her study of chimpanzees in the wild
first travelled to Tanzania in 1960 at the age of 26 with no formal college training.
At the time, it was accepted that humans were undoubtedly similar to chimpanzees, sharing over 98% of the same genetic code.
However, little was known about chimpanzee behaviour or community structure.
At the time she began her research, she says “it was not permissible, at least not in ethological circles, to talk about an animal’s mind. Only humans had minds. Nor was it quite proper to talk about animal personality.

- Victoria Day (Sweden). The birthday of Crown Princess Victoria is an official flag flying day in Sweden
An annual celebration in Sweden in mid July to celebrate Crown Princess Victoria’s birthday.
It is celebrated around the time of the princess’s birthday, 14 July, which is also a flag flying day; for milestone birthdays the celebrations may be held over multiple days. This birthday tradition started in 1979, with Crown Princess Victoria’s 2nd birthday
Pip’s notes – A country celebrates a birthday since two. Wonder if there’s any ego there?

Anyway, Do enjoy your day that ends in the letter Y and take a day if you need one. Even when you needed that day about 2 1/2 months ago.
