I discuss Trump’s firing of impeachment witnesses, insider attacks in Afghanistan, and Iraq.
Trump fired EU Ambassador Sondland and NSC Ukraine expert Vinland. Both men testified in the House impeachment hearing providing Democrats with great soundbites and little evidence.
In Afghanistan, two US soldiers were killed by an insider attack. The attack is further proof the war is failing.
Iraq says the attack that Trump used as an excuse to assassinate Soleimani was carried out by ISIS and not a Shia militia group. If the Iraqi military and intelligence are correct, then Trump was duped by jihadists into a conflict with Iran

Israel Charged with War Crimes
and Genocide. Complete 2013 Judgment of the Kuala Lumpur Tribunal The Kuala
Lumpur War Crimes Commission (KLWCC) versus the State of Israel
This text was first published by Global Research in November 2013, following the indictment.
This text was first published by Global Research in November 2013, following the indictment.
The
government of Israel headed by Benjamin Netanyahu has committed extensive
crimes against humanity. President Trump in his “Deal of the Century” has
endorsed this criminal agenda directed against the people of Palestine.
World
public opinion is largely unaware of the fact that in July 2014, the State of Israel was the
object of a historic judgment by the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal (KLWCT).
“From 1948
and continuing to date the State of Israel (hereafter ‘the Defendant’) carried
out against the Palestinian people a series of acts namely killing, causing
serious bodily harm and deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated
to bring about physical destruction. … Such
conduct constitutes the Crime of Genocide under international law including the
Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide 1948
(‘the Genocide Convention’) in particular Article II and punishable under
Article III of the said Convention. It also constitutes the crime of
genocide as stipulated in Article 10 of the Charter of the Kuala Lumpur
Foundation to Criminalise War.”

Iran Attack on Two US Bases, the
“Evil Empire” Strikes Back. The Casualties?
Iran's Retaliation Against the US
After
their excessive and macabre display of delight and satisfaction, and even
celebration, over the killing of Solemani, the White House was tight-lipped
about Iran’s almost immediate retaliatory missile attack on two US bases
in Iraq, with Donald Trump soon claiming only a bit of physical
damage, announcing on Twitter a day after the attack, “No Americans were harmed
in last night’s attack by the Iranian regime. We suffered no casualties.”
Trump also stated there was no significant damage to the bases.
CNN
initially reported that there were only casualties among Iraqi personnel but
then quickly dropped the story altogether, initially stating “After days
of anticipation, Tehran’s zero-casualty retaliation came as a relief to many.
(1) At the time, Iranian
officials maintained that the US had suffered least 80 dead and perhaps
200 wounded in the attack. https://www.globalresearch.ca/new-star-wars-trilogy-evil-empire-strikes-back/5702528

The

Qaeda — specifically the ‘Faylaq Rahman‘ sect of

East Ghouta the rabid western dogs of war howled to protect the criminally
insane occupiers, barked about humanitarian catastrophe, and then
promptly became irrevocable amnesiacs (the same madness is currently yelped
about the last terrorists of Idlib, who will also soon be permanently
forgotten).

Democracy?
Although the United
States is allegedly a democracy with a rule of law, it has taken 17 years for
public pressure to bring about the first grand jury investigation of 9/11.
Based on the work of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth led by Richard
Gage, first responder and pilots organizations, books by David Ray Griffen and
others, and eyewitness testimony, the Lawyers’ Committee for 9/11 Inquiry has
presented enough hard facts to the US Attorney for the Southern District of New
York to
force his compliance with the provisions of federal law that require the
convening of a federal grand jury to investigate for the first time the attacks
of September 11, 2001.
This puts the US Justice (sic) Department in an extraordinary position.
Every informed person is aware that elements of the US government were involved
either in the perpetration of the 9/11 attacks or in a coverup of the attacks.
There will be tremendous pressures on the US Attorney’s office to have the
grand jury dismiss the evidence as an unpatriotic conspiracy theory or
otherwise maneuver to discredit the evidence presented by the Lawyers’
Committee, or modify the official account without totally discrediting it. We
can have hopes that the United States can establish the true story of its own
Reichstag Fire, but I am not holding my breath that the US Attorney for the
Southern District of New York can stand up to the powerful elements in the Deep
State that perpetuated or covered up the 9/11 false flag attacks or that he is
inclined to try. What the 9/11 truthers and the Lawyers’ Committee have
achieved is the destruction of the designation of 9/11 skeptics as “conspiracy
theorists.” No US Attorney would convene a grand jury on the basis of a
conspiracy theory. Clearly, the evidence is compelling that has put the US
Attorney in an unenviable position. https://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2019/01/04/9-11-finally-the-truth-comes-out/

“We cannot risk
dividing Americans’ future further, saying that you must either be for a

for everybody in this movement.”
This is a talking point that the tightly scripted and focus group-tested

he Shame of Child Poverty in the Age of Trump
Billionaires
Are Soaring, Poor Kids Are Losing More
The plight of impoverished children anywhere should evoke sympathy,
exemplifying as it does the suffering of the innocent and defenseless. Poverty
among children in a wealthy country like the United States, however, should
summon shame and outrage as well. Unlike poor countries (sometimes run by
leaders more interested in lining their pockets than anything else), what
excuse does the United States have for its striking levels of child poverty?
After all, it has the world’s 10th highest per capita income at $62,795 and an
unrivalled gross domestic product (GDP) of $21.3 trillion.
Despite that, in 2020, an estimated 11.9 million American kids
— 16.2% of the total — live below the official poverty line, which is a
paltry $25,701 for a family
of four with two kids. Put another way, according to the
Children’s Defense Fund, kids now constitute one-third of the 38.1 million
Americans classified as poor and 70% of them have at least one working parent —
so poverty can’t be chalked up to parental indolence. http://tiis.org/index.php/2020/02/04/the-shame-of-child-poverty-in-the-age-of-trump/

Martyr Soleimani was a soldier in the march of this revolution, and the birth of the resistance front was the result of the Islamic Revolution that thwarted the Zionist-American project in the region.
The blessed Islamic Revolution once again directed the nation toward Palestine. Since February 11, 1979, the course of history changed when the American project was thwarted.

The Syrian government has strongly condemned Turkey’s deployment of more
military reinforcements to militant-held areas in the country’s embattled
northern provinces of Idlib and Aleppo, emphasizing that such actions will fail
to save terrorist groups that are targeting civilians in the war-ravaged Arab
country.
“The Turkish regime
continues its aggression against the sovereignty and integrity of Syrian lands
through further deployment of forces to Idlib and its countryside as well as
Aleppo countryside, targeting populated areas and some military points in a bid
to save its proxies from terror outfits who have been defeated in the wake of
Syrian army advances,” an unnamed official source at the Syrian Ministry of
Foreign Affairs and Expatriates told Syria’s official news agency SANA on Tuesday. https://www.presstv.com/Detail/2020/02/11/618411/Turkish-military-presence-on-Syrian-soil-aimed-at-saving-terrorists:-Damascus?fbclid=IwAR1n3JK4P7RFoMTqHICaa6ZGwGE0ruBVMPmZA9NvLAuwAPtSU_lSC2PPvlc

How Low Can Israelis Go?
By Finian Cunningham
February 10, 2020 "Information Clearing House" -
Not only is Israel bombing neighboring Syria in acts of aggression, the Israeli
air force is compounding its criminality by using civilian airliners as cover
for their assaults.
That’s the assessment
from Russia’s Ministry of Defense which says flight data shows that an
air raid by four Israeli F-16 warplanes this week near Damascus deliberately
put in danger a civilian airliner with 172 passengers onboard.
Russian MOD spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said the Israeli jets
effectively hid behind the radar signal of an Airbus A-320 as it approached
Damascus international airport in order to launch airstrikes on targets near
the Syrian capital. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/52964.htm

In the recording of a speech that the former New York City mayor gave at

them.”
“Ninety-five percent of murders — murderers and murder victims — fit one

“rogue DAs” he said are sabotaging the sanctity of the criminal justice system
by bringing lesser charges or pleading down cases in order to keep people out

Mr. Barr, in a speech to

country’s largest cities, defying an overall nationwide trend toward safety.
“These DAs think they are helping people, but they end up hurting them.
These policies actually lead to greater criminality,” he said. “By allowing
young lawbreakers entirely off the hook the first time — or the second time or
even the third time — these DAs are potentially placing them on a conveyor to
further and heightened criminality.”

February 5, 2020 (Tony Cartalucci -
NEO) - US policy versus Iran has reached new heights of desperation and new
lows in terms of undermining international law and norms. In Washington's losing battle to maintain hegemony in the Middle East at
the expense of the actual people and nations that exist there - it has resorted
to high-level assassinations, unilateral strikes against targets within
sovereign nations against the expressed will of the governments presiding over
them, all while exposing what appears to be growing American military, political,
and economic impotence.
In sharp contrast, nations like Russia and China have made gains as Washington's flagging fortunes create a power vacuum in the region. Rather than replacing the US as regional hegemons themselves - Moscow and Beijing are extending their multipolar concept into the Middle East - assisting nations in rebuilding themselves after years of US-engineered and led conflict, warding off additional conflict the US is attempting to use to reassert itself in the region, and allowing nations to stand on their own and pursue their own interests independently of the traditional spheres of power established during the age of empires.

The Astana Deal
Syria Imposes the Astana
Deal by Force, as Turkish-Russian Tensions Rise Since 2012 the M5 Damascus-Aleppo had been under the control of
jihadist forces. The Syrian Army has now liberated the M5 Damascus-Aleppo road
and over 140 cities, villages and strategic hills. Turkey and the Uzbeks,
Uighurs and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (formerly al-Nusra) failed to protect their
fortified positions, abandoning them and retreating towards the area
surrounding Idlib.
This is the first
time the Turkish Army has been shelled by the Syrian Army. Five Turkish
officers were killed at Taftanaz military airport, the base used by Turkey and
its jihadists gather. Ankara was forced to send its own army onto the
battlefield to compensate for the weakness of its jihadist allies on the
ground.
The liberation of
the 432 km of the M5 from jihadists was stipulated in the Astana agreement
signed in October 2018, a stipulation which Turkey failed to honor since then.
The Syrian government carried out three major advances towards the M5 since
then, but this time the decision to recover it was final. This is a
Syrian-Russian message to President Erdogan that time is running out for Idlib.
The Turkish-Russian bras-de-fer is also reaching beyond the Syrian borders. It is also evident in
Ukraine and Libya, where Turkey is seeking a major role. https://ahtribune.com/world/north-africa-south-west-asia/syria-crisis/3881-imposes-the-astana-deal-by-force.html

History of cultivationI live and work in Ramallah, while my farm is located in my hometown of Qira in the Salfit region, between Ramallah and Nablus. Under the Trump plan, it would become stuck in a kind of no-man’s land between artificially created bantustans.
Trump’s “peace” plan for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which is entirely biased towards Israel and has been rejected by Palestinian leaders, gives Israel a green light to annex illegal West Bank settlements. It divides the Palestinian territories into a series of bantustans linked by tunnels and bridges, with no viable strategy for a contiguous Palestinian state.
From the maps provided in Trump’s plan, it is not clear whether my hometown would be annexed to Israel, or whether it would be an isolated island among annexed Israeli settlements. In both scenarios, it would be difficult for me to cultivate the land I inherited from my father, who, in turn, inherited it from his father.

Between efforts to censor information critical of

lap and post-Iowa boost were largely regarded with scorn by supporters of other
candidates for obvious reasons, including the fact that chaos of the Iowa
caucus was largely caused by a software application with ties to Buttigieg’s campaign. In the lead-up to the Democratic primary event in New Hampshire, several

Iran satellite launch fails to reach orbit
Iran's space program suffered another setback on
Sunday (Feb. 9).
The nation launched a communications satellite
called Zafar 1 atop a Simorgh rocket at 10:45 a.m. EST Sunday (1545 GMT; 7:15
p.m. local time) from Imam Khomeini Space Center in northern Iran, the Associated Press reported. But Zafar 1 didn't make it all the way to orbit.
"Stage-1 and stage-2 motors of the carrier
functioned properly and the satellite was successfully detached from its
carrier, but at the end of its path it did not reach the required speed for
being put in the orbit," Defense Ministry space program spokesman Ahmad
Hosseini told Iranian state television, according to the AP. https://www.livescience.com/iran-satellite-launch-failure-zafar-1.html
2 Russian
satellites are stalking a US spysat in orbit. The Space Force is watching. A U.S. spy satellite is being
trailed by two Russian satellites, according to the commander of the U.S. Space Force.
Yesterday (Feb. 10), Gen. John "Jay"
Raymond, the Space Force chief of space operations, revealed to Time magazine
that a pair of Russian satellites have come extremely close, within 100 miles (160
kilometers) of the U.S. spy satellite.
"We view this behavior as unusual and
disturbing," Raymond told Time magazine. "It has the potential to create a dangerous
situation in space."
Raymond said that the U.S. government has reached
out to Moscow about the close range of the satellites, expressing concern
"through diplomatic channels." https://www.livescience.com/russian-spacecraft-stalking-us-spy-satellite-space-force.html
New pattern
uncovered in mysterious 'fast radio bursts' from deep space One of the universe's deep
mysteries just got a lot stranger. Astrophysicists have discovered a clue that
could help explain why, every once in a while, superfast bursts of radio waves flash across Earth from deep space. But the clue — a repeating 16-day pattern in
one of the bursts, undermines one of the most popular theories for where the
bursts are coming from.
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) have likely happened for
billions of years. But humans only discovered them in 2007, and have detected only a few dozen of them since.
And in June 2019, astronomers finally tracked an FRB to its home galaxy.
But no one knows what causes them. Because these
bursts are so rare, unusual and bright — considering that they're visible from
billions of light-years across space — physicists have tended to assume they
come from a cataclysmic event, such as the collision of stars. https://www.livescience.com/mysterious-fast-radio-burst-pattern.html
When did the
universe 'wake up'? It was a big moment for our
cosmos when the first stars awoke, but it's an elusive
one for scientists.
In new research, however, a team of astronomers has
identified some of the oldest galaxies ever seen. These objects were already fully formed
when the universe was just 680 million years old, according to the scientists,
who also found evidence that these galaxies were flooding their surroundings
with extreme ultraviolet radiation.
That flood formed gigantic bubbles, where the
neutral gas became energized and ionized, offering astronomers the first direct
image of a major transformational epoch in our universe. https://www.livescience.com/when-did-universe-wake-up.html
The Sun Is Spitting
Out 'Lava Lamp Blobs' 500 Times the Size of Earth The sun's corona constantly breathes wispy strings of hot,
charged particles into space — a phenomenon we call the solar wind. Every now and then, however, those breaths become full-blown
burps.
Perhaps as often as once every hour or two,
according to a study in the February issue of the journal JGR: Space Physics, the plasma underlying the solar wind grows
significantly hotter, becomes noticeably denser, and it pops out of the sun in
rapid-fire orbs of goo capable of engulfing entire planets for minutes or hours
at a time. Officially, these solar burps are called periodic density
structures, but astronomers have nicknamed them "the blobs." Take a
look at images of them
streaming off of the sun's atmosphere, and you'll see why. [The 12 Strangest Objects in the Universe]
"They look like the blobs in a lava
lamp," Nicholeen Viall, a research astrophysicist at NASA's Goddard Space
Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland and co-author of the recent study, told
Live Science. "Only they are hundreds of times larger than the Earth." https://www.space.com/the-sun-is-burping-lava-lamp-blobs.html
Two invisible stars are bending
space-time deep in the Milky Way n summer 2016, astronomers watched a star 2,500 light-years away
in the Cygnus constellation flash to life as if preparing to explode in a fiery
supernova. The next day, however, the star dimmed back to normal again —
no fuss, no kaboom. Within a few weeks, the strange cycle repeated itself: The
star suddenly brightened, then dimmed again within a day. Over the following
year, the cycle occurred again and again, repeating five times within 500 days.
"This was a very unusual behavior,"
Łukasz Wyrzykowski, an astronomer who studied the strange star at the
Astronomical Observatory of the University of Warsaw, Poland, said in a statement. "Hardly any type of supernova or other star
does this."
Space-time is
swirling around a dead star, proving Einstein right again The way the fabric of space
and time swirls in a cosmic whirlpool around a dead star has confirmed yet
another prediction from Einstein's theory of general
relativity,
a new study finds.
That prediction is a phenomenon known as frame
dragging, or the Lense-Thirring effect. It states that space-time will churn
around a massive, rotating body. For example, imagine Earth were submerged in
honey. As the planet rotated, the honey around it would swirl — and the same
holds true with space-time.
Satellite experiments have detected frame dragging in the gravitational field of
rotating Earth, but the effect is extraordinarily
small and, therefore, has been challenging to measure. Objects with greater
masses and more powerful gravitational fields, such as white dwarfs and neutron
stars, offer better chances to see this phenomenon. https://www.livescience.com/einstein-general-relativity-frame-dragging.html
One of Antarctica's
fastest-shrinking glaciers just lost an iceberg twice the size of Washington,
D.C. Pine Island Glacier, one of the
fastest-shrinking glaciers in Antarctica, has just lost another huge
chunk of ice to the sea, continuing a troubling trend that has become a
near-annual occurrence in the last decade.
Scientists at Copernicus, the European Union’s
Earth observation program, have been closely monitoring the glacier since large
cracks appeared near its edge in October 2019. Yesterday, those cracks finally
cut a chunk of the glacier away (a process known as calving), releasing a giant
jigsaw puzzle of fresh icebergs into the nearby Amundsen Sea. In total, the
icebergs measure about twice the size of Washington, D.C., in area (more than
130 square miles, or 350 square kilometers), according to The Washington Post.
On its own, the recent calving event is not
entirely surprising or particularly threatening to global sea levels; calving is
a normal part of life for ice formations
with sections that float on the water, according to NASA's Earth Observatory. Because ice at the edge of the glacier was
already floating, this ice will not directly contribute to sea level rise when
it inevitably melts. https://www.livescience.com/pine-island-glacier-calving-retreat.html
Cuttlefish Have Complex Cognitive Abilities –
Can Make Decisions Based on Future Expectations When cuttlefish know that shrimp — their favorite
food — will be available in the evening, they eat fewer crabs during the day.
This capacity to make decisions based on future expectations reveals complex
cognitive abilities.
“It
was surprising to see how quickly the cuttlefish adapted their eating behavior
— in only a few days they learned whether there was likely to be shrimp in the
evening or not. This is a very complex behavior and is only possible because
they have a sophisticated brain,” said Pauline Billard, a Ph.D. student in the
University of Cambridge’s Department of Psychology and Unicaen, France, and
first author of the report.
Cuttlefish foraging behavior can be described as either selective
or opportunistic. Observing the European common cuttlefish, Sepia officinalis, when the researchers reliably
provided one shrimp every evening, the cuttlefish became more selective during
the day and ate significantly fewer crabs. But when they were provided with
evening shrimp on a random basis, the cuttlefish became opportunistic and ate
more crabs during the day. https://scitechdaily.com/cuttlefish-have-complex-cognitive-abilities-can-make-decisions-based-on-future-expectations/
‘Zee Burst’ – Ghost
Particles Studied Through Ultra-High Energy Events
TOPICS:AstrophysicsIceCube
Neutrino ObservatoryParticle Physics With ‘Zee burst,’ physicists propose new resonance
beyond the standard model.
Physicists
at Washington University in St. Louis have proposed a way to use data from
ultra-high energy neutrinos to study interactions beyond the standard model of
particle physics. The ‘Zee burst’ model leverages new data from large neutrino
telescopes such as the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica and its
future extensions.
“Neutrinos
continue to intrigue us and stretch our imagination. These ‘ghost particles’
are the least understood in the standard model, but they hold the key to what
lies beyond,” said Bhupal Dev, assistant professor of physics in Arts
& Sciences and author of a new study
in Physical Review Letters. https://scitechdaily.com/zee-burst-ghost-particles-studied-through-ultra-high-energy-events/
Stephen Hawking’s Quantum Black Hole Hypothesis
Supported by Gravitational Wave Echoes Echoes in gravitational wave
signals suggest that the event horizon of a black hole may be more complicated than scientists
currently think.
Research from the University
of Waterloo reports the first tentative detection of these
echoes, caused by a microscopic quantum “fuzz” that surrounds newly formed
black holes.
Gravitational
waves are ripples in the fabric of space-time, caused by the collision of
massive, compact objects in space, such as black holes or neutron stars.
“According
to Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity, nothing can escape from the gravity
of a black hole once it has passed a point of no return, known as the event
horizon,” explained Niayesh Afshordi, a physics and astronomy professor at
Waterloo. “This was scientists’ understanding for a long time until Stephen
Hawking used quantum mechanics to predict that quantum particles will slowly
leak out of black holes, which we now call Hawking radiation.
“Scientists have been unable to experimentally determine if any
matter is escaping black holes until the very recent detection of gravitational waves,” said
Afshordi. “If the quantum fuzz responsible for Hawking radiation does exist
around black holes, gravitational waves could bounce off of it, which would
create smaller gravitational wave signals following the main gravitational
collision event, similar to repeating echoes.”

Researchers Create ‘Intelligent’ Interaction
Between Light and Material – New Form of Computing McMaster and Harvard University researchers create ‘intelligent’
interaction between light and material, establishing a promising new platform
for computing.
A
collaboration between McMaster and Harvard researchers has generated a new
platform in which light beams communicate with one another through solid
matter, establishing the foundation to explore a new form of computing.
Their work is described in a paper published in the Proceedings of the National
Academy of Sciences on February 6, 2020.
Kalaichelvi
Saravanamuttu, an associate professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at
McMaster, explains that the technology brings together a form of hyrdrogel
developed by the Harvard team with light manipulation and measurement
techniques performed in her lab, which specializes in the chemistry of
materials that respond to light. https://scitechdaily.com/researchers-create-intelligent-interaction-between-light-and-material-new-form-of-computing/
An ancient galaxy grew massive — then oddly
stopped making stars Even galaxies burn out
if they work too hard.
A
galactic monster in the early universe quit forming stars after ferociously
churning them out for hundreds of millions of years, researchers report. Why it
slacked off is unclear, but the answer might teach astronomers a thing or two
about how the earliest galaxies grew and evolved into the stellar metropolises
that surround us today.
The
light from this galaxy, designated XMM-2599, took nearly 12 billion years to
reach Earth. So astronomers see the galaxy as it was just 1.8 billion years
after the Big Bang. By that time, the galaxy had bulked up to a mass of about
300 billion suns, new observations show, making it three times as massive as
similar known galaxies from that epoch.
The
galaxy appears to have gotten so hefty by cranking out stars at a rate of over 1,000 solar masses per year for
several hundred million years.
But then, the star making suddenly stopped, astronomer Benjamin Forrest at the
University of California, Riverside and colleagues report in the Feb. 10 Astrophysical Journal Letters. By comparison, the Milky Way produces a paltry two to three stars per year. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/ancient-galaxy-grew-massive-then-oddly-stopped-making-stars
How thin, delicate
butterfly wings keep from overheating
Living parts such as veins have
protective structures that keep them cooler than
Delicate
butterfly wings are pretty cool — literally, thanks to special structures that
protect them from overheating in the sun.
New
thermal images of butterflies show that living parts of the wing — including
veins transporting insect blood, or hemolymph, and scent patches or pads that
males use to release pheromones — release more heat than surrounding dead
scales, keeping the living areas cooler.
Small
changes in body temperature can affect a butterfly’s ability to fly, as muscles
in the thorax must be warm so that the insect can flap its wings fast enough
for takeoff. But because the wings are so thin, they heat up faster than the
thorax and can rapidly overheat.
People
might think that scale-covered butterfly wings are “like a fingernail, or a feather of a bird, or
human hair — they are lifeless,” says Nanfang Yu, an applied physicist at
Columbia University (SN: 5/23/08). But wings are also equipped with living tissues
crucial for survival and flight, and high temperatures will make the insect
“really feel uncomfortable.”
Stick-toting puffins offer
the first evidence of tool use in seabirds
Two birds observed four years and a sea apart turned sticks into
feather scratchers Annette Fayet was
scanning a colony of Atlantic puffins off the coast of Wales when something
caught her eye. A puffin, gently bobbing on the sea, held a stick in its orange-black
bill. Then, the seabird used it to scratch its back.
“I
was surprised and excited,” says Fayet, an ecologist at the University of
Oxford who studies puffin migration. Puffins (Fratercula
arctica) had never been seen using tools. In
fact, no seabird had.
Fayet
recorded the unusual behavior in her notebook, but it would take four more
years before she got photographic evidence. In 2018 on Grimsey Island in
Iceland, one of her motion-sensitive camera captured a puffin snatching a stick
from the ground and using it to scratch its chest feathers.
Those
observations, described December 30 in Proceedings
of the National Academy of Sciences,
represent the only known example of a bird in the wild using a
tool to scratch itself. https://www.sciencenews.org/article/stick-toting-puffins-offer-first-evidence-tool-use-seabirds
Millions of monarch
butterflies flutter to the mountains in Mexico every October https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AN8-pNnvJ5s
Monarch
Butterflies Migrate 3,000 Miles—Here's How
The colorful insect's migration across the
North American continent is one of the greatest natural events on Earth. Each fall,
millions of monarch
butterflies leave their summer breeding grounds in
the northeastern U.S. and Canada and travel upwards of 3,000 miles to reach
overwintering grounds in southwestern Mexico.
But unlike birds or wildebeest
that also embark on epic migrations, these individual butterflies will never
return. (See National Geographic's amazing photos of
monarchs.)
Why won't they make it all the
way back? How do they know where to go in the first place? https://www.nationalgeographic.com/news/2017/10/monarch-butterfly-migration/
Mystery solved: How
monarch butterflies navigate from Canada to Mexico each year Researchers believe they have
discovered how the internal compass is used by the monarch
butterfly to determine their south-west flight when they migrate each autumn.
Scientists
have never understood how the monarch's brain receives and processes
information about its location and where they should fly.
But
now it is hoped this discovery will help scientists understand how they navigate
and locate their food.
Each
year monarchs turn their orange, black and white-mottled wings
toward the Rio Grande and migrate more than 2,000 miles to the warmer climbs of central Mexico.
Their
journey is repeated instinctively by generations and has continued even as
monarch numbers have plummeted due to loss of their sole food source - the
milkweed plant. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/04/15/mystery-solved-how-monarch-butterflies-navigate-from-canada-to-m/
