Not all trees sleep the same – High temporal resolution terrestrial laser scanning shows differences in nocturnal plant movement – Research – Aarhus University – Trees Sleep! and have equivalent of heartbeat!
We confirm the existence of overnight “sleep” movement for some trees, but conclude that circadian movement is a variable phenomenon in plants, probably controlled by a complex combination of anatomical, physiological, and morphological factors.

Trump’s message did not go down well in Morocco.
“The US president acts like one would expect from an imperial power,” Nabila Mounib, the general secretary of the Unified Socialist Party (PSU), told DW. “We’ve been observing this behavior in all relationships between the US and countries of the global south.”
“Trump is well versed in the language of intimidation and threats, but we Moroccans should no be concerned by the logic of the jungle,” Mounib said, insisting that every country is entitled to make a bid. “Instead, we should try creating a more humane, fraternal and just global order.”
Southwest passengers tried to save woman as pilot showed ‘nerves of steel’ | World news | The Guardian
“She has nerves of steel. That lady, I applaud her,” said Alfred Tumlinson, a passenger from Corpus Christi, Texas. “I’m going to send her a Christmas card … she was awesome.
Unknown to the passengers at the time, Shults had remained absolutely calm as she attempted to save the jet, as revealed by her communications with air traffic control (ATC), captured in a recording.
“Southwest 1380 has an engine fire. Descending,” she tells ATC in a monotone.
“You are descending right now?” an incredulous voice on the other end says.
“Yes, sir. We are single engine. Descending,” Shults replies.

A voice asks her where she would like to land. With just the faintest hint of exasperation, Shults replies: “Give us the closest … we are looking at Philly.”
The communications continue calmly, as the captain tells ATC she has injured passengers and relays from her cabin crew: “They said there is a hole and someone went out.”
After landing, Shults tells the ATC personnel: “Thanks, guys, for the help.”
Diana McBride Self, a passenger, thanked Shults on Facebook for her “guidance and bravery in a traumatic situation”.
“This is a true American Hero,” McBride wrote. Others on social media agreed and compared Shults with Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, who guided his US Airways plane to safety in New York’s Hudson river in 2009 after birds flew into the engines after take off.
When contacted by the Washington Post, Shults declined to be interviewed.
But family told how she had battled from the late 70s onward, against almost blanket refusal from the military, to become a fighter pilot, eventually succeeding.

As a liberal, I believe liberalism is really about believing in your own individual freedom and that of those around you, and treating them as equals in their right to exist and live their lives.
What they wear, where they want to go, where they live, what they do for a living, who they pray to, who they want to sleep with, who they want to love … is really up to them. By freedom I mean everything that does not result in harming other individuals. Yes, those points were important enough to put in BOLD.

Justices won’t block new congressional maps in Pennsylvania
One day before the filing deadline for the primary election, the Supreme Court rejected a request by Republican lawmakers in Pennsylvania to block a remedial plan adopted by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court from going into effect. The ruling means that the state’s 2018 congressional elections will likely go forward under the new maps, which could allow Democrats to pick up three or four more of the state’s 18 seats in the House of Representatives – which could in turn increase Democrats’ chances of taking back the House.
