"Elephants call out to each other using individual names that
they invent for their fellow pachyderms,
according to a new study.
While dolphins and parrots have been observed addressing each other by mimicking the sound of others from their species,
elephants are the first non-human animals known to use names that do not involve imitation, the researchers suggested.
Adults were also more likely to use names than calves, suggesting it could take years to learn this particular talent.
The most common call was “a harmonically rich, low-frequency sound”, according to the study in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution."

"As the Israeli forces withdrew with four hostages in tow, they left death and destruction in their wake. The authorities in Gaza announced that
274 people, including 64 children and 57 women, had been killed,
with more than 400 injuries, and that 89 inhabited homes or residential buildings had been bombed during the raid."
"Israeli soldiers disguised themselves as displaced persons in carrying out what is being called the Nuseirat massacre.
The Washington Post verified two videos of a truck bearing the logo of a dishwashing soap
being escorted out of Nuseirat by Israeli tanks —
though whether the scene was before or after the attack was unclear.
Another video posted online showed a Mercedes-Benz van with living items strapped to it — a “Grapes of Wrath”-like scene common in Mad Max Gaza.
An eyewitness told the Post An eyewitness told the Post that about 10 Israeli soldiers leapt out of the van, shooting the eyewitness’s brother .
(A representative for Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari told The Intercept no civilian vehicles were used in the attack.)"
"These children — the 3-month-old, the 7-year-old, the 12-year-old who died — the 25-year-old man, the 78-year-old woman, who all have horrendous injuries,” she continued.
“Why did they deserve this? And why is the world looking on in silence?
To what level of horror do we need to go before we finally do something, before we finally tell Israel that this is not acceptable?”
Learn Elephant. Low.
"Foreign doctors returning from aid missions to Gaza have reported unspeakable carnage.
With military assaults and resources like fuel under strain, maternity wards have struggled to deliver and keep premature babies alive. And hundreds of health care workers have disappeared into Israeli detention."
Abu Nasser and his wife fled to the street, he was surprised to find so many ways to die:
tanks, attack helicopters, shells, missiles, and,
picking people off on the street,
the drones with small arms attached.
“People were running before our eyes, fleeing from the drones,” Abu Nasser said. “And we hid in a place the drones couldn’t reach"

I've documented this blog's worldwide traffic for a long time.
These days all the views come from a few places, supposedly.
People from every country possible used to find something, some poems, some phrase, some art or photo, they'd be curious about.
There's no ads here. There isn't "unknown region" in the web traffic.
There's simply better ways to steer and preclude progressive, radical, contemptuous, liberal, feminist, unorthodox ideas.

President Carter calls America an Oligarchy
"Carter has been notably quiet about President Trump. But on this night, two years into Trump’s term, he’s not holding back.
“I think he’s a disaster,” Carter says.
“In human rights and taking care of people
and treating people equal.”

"Carter says he thinks the Supreme Court’s
Citizens United decision
has “changed our political system
from a democracy to an oligarchy.
Money is now preeminent.
I mean, it’s just gone to hell now.”
