Delilah gave birth to a 55-pound male calf at a sanctuary for Sumatran rhinos in Way Kambas National Park in Lampung province, at the southern tip of Sumatra island. A newly born Sumatran rhino calf born on Sumatra Island on Nov. 25 walks in its enclosure at Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary at Way Kambas National Park, Indonesia. JAKARTA, Indonesia — A critically endangered Sumatran rhino was born in Indonesia’s western island of Sumatra on Saturday, the second Sumatran rhino born in the country this year and a welcome addition to a species that currently numbers fewer than 50 animals. A female named Delilah gave birth to a 55-pound male calf at a sanctuary for Sumatran rhinos in Way Kambas National Park in Lampung province, at the southern tip of Sumatra island. The calf is fathered by a male named Harapan, who was born at the Cincinnati Zoo in 2006. He was the last Sumatran rhino in the world to be repatriated to Indonesia, meaning that the entire po[CENSORED]tion of Sumatran rhinos is now in Indonesia. Most of the remaining rhinos live on Sumatra, several in captivity. They are threatened by destruction of tropical forest habitat and poachers who kill the animals for their horns, which are prized for making ornaments and for use in traditional medicine in China and other parts of Asia. A female Sumatran rhino named Delilah after having given birth to a calf at Way Kambas National Park, Indonesia. “This birth is also the birth of the second Sumatran rhino in 2023. It emphasizes the government commitment of the Indonesian Government on the rhino conservation efforts in Indonesia, especially the Sumatran rhino,” Indonesian Environment and Forestry Minister Siti Nurbaya Bakar said in a written statement. She added that, from the semi-natural breeding efforts, there were five live births of Sumatran rhinos at the Way Kambas sanctuary. A conservation guard found Delilah with the newborn male calf next to her on Saturday morning, 10 days earlier than the estimated date of delivery. Delilah and her baby are in good condition as the calf is now able to stand upright and walk. Not long after he was discovered, he was able to breastfeed in a standing position, said a statement from Indonesia’ Environment and Forestry Ministry. Veterinarian Zulfi Arsan tends to a newly born Sumatran rhino calf at Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary at Way Kambas National Park, Indonesia. The Sumatran rhino is legally protected in Indonesia. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species describes the Sumatran rhinos as critically endangered: the po[CENSORED]tion is declining and only about 30 mature animals remain. The yet-to-be-named calf is the first success delivery from Delilah. Delilah, a 7-year-old female, was born in an Indonesian sanctuary in 2016. She was the second calf born to her mother, Ratu, who also gave birth to a male named Andatu in 2012, the first rhino birth in captivity in Indonesia in 124 years. The father, Andalas, was born at the Cincinnati Zoo in 2001. In September, Ratu, a 23-year-old female rhino, gave birth to a female rhino at the sanctuary in Lampung. Sumatran rhinos typically have a life expectancy of 35 to 40 years, according to the WWF conservation group. Link

Texas-based Moment Motor Company has announced its latest electric conversion foray, with the Mercedes-Benz 280SL chosen as its primary delegate. It will be built as a limited-run model and act as the forerunner of its ‘Signature’ series of classic conversions. Think of it as being a sort of King Leonidas-like figure from 300, except the 280SL is using a 400-volt powertrain and not a plastic scimitar. Thanks to that powertrain though it may just be able to take on Xerxes and the Persian army solo, with the 300bhp of power and 370lb ft of torque nearly twice as much as the original car. The three-phase permanent motor has also been combined with a 62kWh battery pack to allow a quoted 175 miles of range - plentiful for what will likely be a weekend toy. The other focus points include a fully integrated vehicle control system and electric brakes and steering, turning this over half-a-century old car into a two-seat convertible capable of worrying even the most modern of ICE-powered sports cars. The price for the conversion itself is set at approximately £107,000 ($135,000), but the donor car isn’t provided. Moment will however help you source a restored turn-key example through its partner, Unique Cars of Palm Beach, for an estimated £197,000 ($250,000). Yep, the mounting costs are making us feel quite warm too. Marc Davis, founder of Moment Motor Company, said: “While the passion for these vehicles has endured throughout the decades, their functionality hasn’t stood the test of time. Through our tried and true design process, we offer collectors the ability to take highly celebrated but seldomly used vehicles from their collections and convert them with electric drivetrains for everyday usage.” Built between 1963 and 1971, over 48,000 examples of the W113-generation SL were distributed around the world and continue to be revered as a status icon of its era. In fact, standard, concourse-grade examples can still command as much as £300,000. Moment Motor Company meanwhile has conversion experience across a broad spectrum of classic cars including the 1971 BMW 2800CS, 1973 Alfa Romeo GT Veloce and even the DeLorean DMC-12. Sadly, its alterations to the DeLorean haven’t been enough to allow it to travel through time. Marty McFly would be disappointed, it’s 2023 for goodness sake. Link

The two Cochise County officials are the latest Republicans to face criminal charges related to election denialism. Cochise County District 1 Supervisor Tom Crosby was indicted by a federal grand jury for delaying election certification. A grand jury voted to indict two local officials who delayed the certification of midterm election results in 2022 in Cochise County, Arizona, state Attorney General Kris Mayes said Wednesday. Cochise County Supervisors Peggy Judd, 61, and Tom Crosby, 64, voted against certifying the county’s election results by the statutory deadline in 2022, after months of casting baseless doubt on the integrity of the election. The county only certified its election results after a court ordered them to do so. The indictment alleges that Judd and Crosby committed two felonies by conspiring to delay the certification of election results and interfering with the secretary of state’s statewide canvas. Both are Class 5 felonies, which can carry prison terms of 6 months to 2.5 years. Cochise County District 3 Supervisor Peggy Judd. “The repeated attempts to undermine our democracy are unacceptable,” Mayes, a Democrat, said in a statement. While each state's election laws differ, local officials’ stamp of approval is often required during the election certification process across the country. If Cochise hadn't certified their results by the statewide deadline and the state had been forced to affirm their election results without including the Republican county's 47,000 votes, Republican Rep. Juan Ciscomani would have lost his race for the U.S. House. The fight in Cochise County began well before the election, as Judd and Crosby cast baseless doubt on the voting machines and sought to do a hand count of all the ballots, something state law doesn't permit. The pair also sued the county elections director, Lisa Marra, who later quit her job after five years running the county's elections. Judd participated in the Jan. 6th “Stop the Steal” rally in 2021, but denied entering the Capitol or any wrongdoing in an interview with the Tuscon Sentinel. The paper also reported that she has spread conspiracy theories online. She and Crosby are the latest Republicans to face criminal charges related to election denialism. They did not immediately respond to a request for comment. More than a dozen Republicans who agreed to serve as fake electors to the Electoral College in 2020 have also been charged in Georgia and Michigan. Link

Raja-Jooseppi is the northernmost border crossing between Finland and Russia Finland has closed the last crossing on its long Russian border, prompting the Kremlin to condemn an "absolutely redundant measure". The northern crossing at Raja-Jooseppi closed for two weeks at 14:00 (12:00 GMT) on Wednesday, after Helsinki accused Russia of channelling asylum seekers towards Finland. Finland says it has become the target of a Russian "hybrid operation". Some 900 asylum seekers have crossed the border this month. The influx is dramatically higher than the previous number of barely one a day and Finland's border guard says before August 2023 Russian authorities barred foreign citizens from travelling to the area without the necessary visas. Finland shares a 1,340km (830 mile) frontier with Russia and closed its seven south-eastern border crossings last week, before announcing that its far-northern crossing would also be shut temporarily. A rail-freight line will remain open and the border guard says that in theory it is not a complete shutdown. Asylum seekers will still be able to reach Helsinki by plane. Interior Minister Mari Rantanen said it was "a matter of national security" and on Wednesday the head of Poland's National Security Bureau announced that its military advisers would travel to Finland to provide "on-site knowledge of border security". Jacek Siewiera said Poland was responding to a request from the Finnish president who was in Warsaw this week. His announcement on X, formerly Twitter, was illustrated with coils of barbed wire at a border fence running through a forest. Finland's northernmost crossing was described as quiet on Wednesday. Known as Lotta on the Russian side, it is extremely remote - more than 200km from Murmansk. The only facilities there were shut down months ago. A sign on the local petrol station and cafe announced they had been "closed indefinitely". Russia vowed to take "counter-measures" last April when Finland completed its accession to the West's Nato defensive alliance. Helsinki decided to join Nato after Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Moscow said it had made a "dangerous, historic mistake", bringing to an end a tradition of military non-alignment. Col Matti Pitkaniitty of the Finnish border guard said they were not happy that "legal travellers" now had no guarantee that the border would be open. They now had to choose between the Norwegian border near Kirkenes in the north, or the Estonian city of Narva to the south, he said. Finland had exchanged information with both countries to prepare for an influx, he told the BBC. Col Pitkaniitty said the EU's border agency Frontex was sending about 50 additional officers, but when asked if they were coming from Poland, he said he was not sure and it was "not relevant for us". Their main role would be in helping with border surveillance in the heavily forested areas between crossing points, as Finnish guards had endured a "heavy load" in the past few weeks. "There's not permanent fencing but temporary fencing structures where we have roads going across the borderline," he said. "We are entering winter conditions so it's good they know the environment." Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov warned that any increase in "the concentration of military units on our border" was unjustified: "The Finns should bear in mind that this will represent a threat to us." Temperatures in the past week have plummeted to -30C (-22F) and half the border area is under 20cm (8in) of snow, he said. The Finnish Refugee Advice Centre fears closing the borders will push asylum seekers towards the many hundreds of kilometres of forests and rivers along the long border, which could be even more dangerous. Several hundred kilometres south of Raja-Jooseppi, on the Russian side of the Finnish border crossing at Salla, many of those who wanted to cross now appeared to have dispersed. Until last week, would-be migrants would arrive by bike at the Russian border before crossing at Salla At one point about 400 migrants had gathered there, many of them lightly dressed. An official said about 200 had now been taken by bus to St Petersburg. Some interviewed by RBC newspaper said they were on student visas in Russia that would soon expire. It is hard to confirm how co-ordinated the movement of migrants towards the Russian border has been, and whether there has been direct complicity from the FSB security service - to which the Russian border guard service belongs. The EU's home affairs commissioner said last week that Finland's border challenge gave her a sense of deja-vu, two years after Belarus had driven large numbers of asylum seekers across its borders into Poland, Latvia and Lithuania. The Polish advisory team being sent to Finland is expected to include those involved in a controversial operation to reinforce Poland's eastern border in 2021, when many of those trying to enter from Belarus were pushed back. Poland's eastern border is now heavily protected with a giant metal fence and extra surveillance, including military patrols. Link
