Ancient foot trap (khogtse), National Museum, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia

June 05, 2013 • 45 Comments

Ancient leg-hold trap or foot trap (khogtse), National Museum, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. These traps were buried and anchored (or frozen) into the ground at the end of drive lines made out of rock cairns or lines of rocks. The drive lines funneled the animals to the place where traps were buried. The traps are designed to trap ungulates such as gazelles or Tibetan antelope and appear to have been used on the Tibetan plateau and also in Mongolia. Once trapped the hunters could approach and kill the animals.

Gambling websites increasingly focus on creating simple interfaces that allow users to find games and betting markets quickly. Good navigation can improve usability, particularly on smaller mobile screens. However, an attractive design should not distract users from important information such as terms, fees, odds, and responsible gambling tools. A platform should make essential account and financial information easy to find instead of hiding it behind complicated menus.
