The Cornell Lab of Ornithology recently added the ability to identify birds from hearing their birdsong to their Merlin Bird ID app — a “Shazam for bird songs” as Fast Company says. You just start recording with your phone and the app starts telling you the birds it’s hearing. Source: This App Identifies Birds by Their Songs

Valley 5-year-old gets COVID just weeks after return to school
“They should be able to go to school, their education shouldn’t be hurt, their socialization shouldn’t be hurt,” said Heidi Kim. It’s an ideal scenario the Valley mom hoped would play out for her two young girls. But just two weeks into the school year, her five-year-old now has COVID-19. “There are a total of three kids in her class who wear masks and my older daughter, there are two kids including her, so one other kid that wears a mask,” said Heidi. Heidi’s daughters attend EduPrize in San Tan Valley. The charter school sent out a letter to parents outlining safety protocols being taken and urging the use of masks but admitting they couldn’t mandate them. “I could home school them again, I did this last year but I need to get back to work and I was just really hoping that people would do the right thing and send their kids in masks,” said Heidi.

FEMINICÍDIO
Vivaldi translation of first line: How many women will continue to die each year because of gender discrimination, hatred, contempt, and violence?
Quantas mulheres vão continuar morrendo por ano por conta da discriminação de gênero, do ódio, do menosprezo, e da violência?
Segundo Guaracy Moreira Filho, ” o feminicídio é um crime no rol dos hediondos e por esta razão tem maior visibilidade à conduta criminosa contra as mulheres “.
Para Guilherme de Sousa Nucci manual de direito penal, o autor do homicídio qualificado como feminicídio, ele diz que o crime é motivado por diversas circunstâncias tais como traição, por conta de ciúmes, porque foi provocado pela vítima e outras razões . Vale salientar que o autor pode ser uma mulher que se sinta mais forte na relação homoafetiva contra a outra. ( 2017, p. 612).

Indonesia surpasses 100,000 deaths amid new virus wave – The Washington Post
Indonesia surpassed 100,000 confirmed COVID-19 deaths on Wednesday, a grim milestone in a country struggling with its worst pandemic wave fueled by the delta variant, amid concerns the actual figure could be much higher.
It took 14 months for Indonesia to exceed the 50,000 death mark at the end of May, and just over nine weeks to double it. The Health Ministry recorded 1,747 new deaths of COVID-19 in the last 24 hours, bringing the total to 100,636.

For Malagasy trapped in poverty, threatened lemurs and fossas are fair game
- Half of nearly 700 households surveyed in a recent study in Makira National Park in Madagascar reported eating lemur meat and a quarter had consumed fossa meat.
- The research conducted by the Wildlife Conservation Society relied on indirect questioning and revealed unusually high levels of consumption of meat from the fossa, Madagascar’s top predator.
- Hunting pressure combined with shrinking habitats could lead to the local extinction of the indri, a critically endangered species and the largest living lemur, along with three other lemur species in the park.
- WCS’s current research will feed into a “behavior change campaign” to promote alternatives to hunting like poultry and fish farming, and harvesting of edible insects.

Mennonites said to deforest ancestral Indigenous land in Colombia (Me: very sad if accurate about abuse of forest and indigenous people’s culture and land)
Environmental authorities and Indigenous groups accuse a Mennonite community, members of an Anabaptist Protestant sect, of destroying forests and polluting water sources in the Altillanura high plains of eastern Colombia. Authorities say the Mennonites have burned 135 hectares (333 acres) of riverbank forest since arriving in the region in 2016. Indigenous Sikuani communities say the Mennonites have taken over their ancestral lands and driven away the native wildlife and fish with their farming activities and intensive use of agrochemicals. The Mennonite colony is one of many that left Mexico in recent years and settled in other Latin American countries, including Peru and Bolivia, where they have also been accused of environmental violations.
