https://www.nbcnews.com/science/science-news/dolphins-name-study-signature-whistles-offers-clues-rcna30114 Young dolphins, within the first few months of life, display their creativity by creating a unique sound. These bleats, chirps and squeaks amount to a novel possession in the animal kingdom — a label that conveys an identity, comparable to a human name. These labels are called signature whistles, and they play an essential role in creating and keeping relationships among dolphins. While the development of a signature whistle is influenced by learning from other dolphins, each whistle still varies in volume, frequency, pitch and length. Scientists have studied signature whistles for over 50 years and have made significant gains in understanding how whistles are used and why. But what is less understood are the exact factors that influence these varying styles used to broadcast a singular creature’s existence. A study published Thursday on dolphins in the Mediterranean Sea now claims that two influences best explain the differences among signature whistles: the local ocean environment and the demographics of different dolphin po[CENSORED]tions. For example, the scientists found dolphins who live in regions with more seagrass have signature whistles that are higher in pitch and shorter in length when compared to those who live in areas where the seafloor is muddier. Meanwhile, dolphins in smaller groups had whistles that changed pitch more often than dolphins in larger groups.

https://edition.cnn.com/2022/06/15/asia/china-support-russia-security-xi-birthday-putin-intl-hnk/index.html Chinese leader Xi Jinping reiterated his support for Moscow on "sovereignty and security" matters in a call with counterpart Vladimir Putin on Wednesday, upholding his backing for the countries' partnership despite the global backlash against Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Speaking on his 69th birthday, Xi also pledged to deepen strategic coordination between the two countries, according to China's Foreign Ministry. A separate readout from the Kremlin said the two leaders stressed their countries' relations were "were at an all-time high" and reaffirmed their commitment to "consistently deepen the comprehensive partnership." The call is thought to be the second time the two leaders have spoken since Russia invaded Ukraine. They also spoke just days after Moscow launched what it insists on calling a "special military operation." China, too, has refrained from referring to Russia's actions as an invasion and has walked a fine line on the issue. It has portrayed itself as calling for peace and upholding the global order, while refusing to denounce Russia's actions. It has also used its state media apparatus to mimic Kremlin lines blaming the United States and NATO for the crisis. During Wednesday's call, Xi stressed China had always "independently assessed the situation" in Ukraine and called for "all parties" to push for a "proper settlement of the Ukraine crisis" -- echoing language he used in a March call with US President Joe Biden. China is "willing to continue to play its role" in promoting a "proper solution" to Ukraine, he said. The Kremlin's summary of the call took this position a step further, saying: "the President of China noted the legitimacy of Russia's actions to protect fundamental national interests in the face of challenges to its security created by external forces." Trade ties Wednesday's call was also a chance for the two leaders to check in on a growing trade relationship. Earlier this year, weeks before the Russian invasion, the two leaders in a face-to-face meeting said their countries had a "no limits" partnership and pledged to boost trade. "Since the beginning of this year, bilateral relations have maintained a sound development momentum in the face of global turbulence and transformations," Xi said in the Wednesday call. China and Russia are building bridges. The symbolism is intentional China and Russia are building bridges. The symbolism is intentional "The Chinese side stands ready to work with the Russian side to push for steady and long-term development of practical bilateral cooperation," Xi said, pointing to the "steady progress" of their trade ties and the opening last week of the first cross-border highway bridge over the Amur River. The two agreed to expand cooperation in energy, finance, manufacturing and other areas, "taking into account the global economic situation that has become more complicated due to the illegitimate sanctions policy pursued by the West," the Kremlin readout said. The two countries also pledged to work together to strengthen communication and coordination in international bodies such as the United Nations -- where the two often vote as a bloc. "China is also willing to work with Russia to promote solidarity and cooperation among emerging market countries ... and push for the development of the international order and global governance towards a more just and reasonable direction," Xi said, in a comment that hit on the countries' shared aim of pushing back against what they view as the global hegemony of the United States. Birthday greetings The call was not the first time that Xi and Putin -- two strongmen drawn together by mutual distrust of the West -- have had engagements on each others' birthdays. In 2013, Xi presented Putin with a birthday cake and the two drank vodka together to mark the Russian leader's 61st birthday during a conference in Indonesia. Xi later celebrated his 66th birthday during a 2019 summit in Tajikistan with Putin, who surprised him with ice cream, cake and champagne. Their personal relationship, in which Xi has described Putin as his "best and bosom friend" is also thought to bolster the dynamics of their strengthening rapport on the national level. In its summary of the two leaders' latest call, the Kremlin noted the conversation was held in a "traditionally warm and friendly atmosphere."

https://edition.cnn.com/2022/06/12/politics/ben-ginsberg-january-6-committee-testify/index.html Former Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien will be among the witnesses testifying Monday before the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, the panel announced Sunday. Stepien will testify under subpoena, he told CNN. CNN reported earlier that conservative Republican election attorney Ben Ginsberg would also appear before the committee during its next public hearing on Monday. Other witnesses expected to testify Monday, according to the January 6 panel, include Chris Stirewalt, the former political editor at Fox; BJay Pak, the former US attorney for the North District of Georgia, and Al Schmidt, a former Philadelphia city commissioner. Two sources familiar with the matter said Ginsberg is expected to testify that there was no evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election, despite claims by former President Donald Trump and his supporters. He will also speak about the failed court cases filed by Trump's team. Ginsberg is considered a leading Republican expert on election fraud and played a critical role in the Florida recount case in 2000 when then-candidate George W. Bush defeated then-Vice President Al Gore. Even before the last presidential election, in a September 2020 essay, Ginsberg was vocal about the weakness of the former President's claim of widespread voter fraud and criticized the assertions as lacking evidence and "unsustainable." Pak's and Schmidt's home states of Georgia and Pennsylvania, respectively, were key states in the Trump campaign's efforts to potentially overturn the 2020 election results. Stirewalt was fired by Fox in January 2021 after right-wing backlash to the network's call of Arizona for then-candidate Joe Biden during the 2020 presidential election. Stirewalt wrote in a Los Angeles Times piece after his firing that the refusal by many of Trump's supporters to believe the election results was a "tragic consequence of the informational malnourishment so badly afflicting the nation." The hearing on Monday morning will focus on how Trump questioned the election process widely, knowing that his allies' assertions would not change the outcome, committee Vice Chair Liz Cheney, a Wyoming Republican, said last week. The January 6 committee will strive to show how "Trump engaged in a massive effort to spread false and fraudulent information," even though "Trump and his advisers knew that he had, in fact, lost the election," Cheney said.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/south-carolina-animal-rescue-ceo-arrested-30-dead-dogs-cats-found-home-rcna32141 The CEO of an animal rescue group in South Carolina was arrested after the bodies of 30 decomposing animals were found at her home, officials said. Caroline Dawn Pennington, 47, is a well-known figure in the animal rescue community who is the CEO and director of the nonprofit rescue group GROWL, the Richland County Sheriff's Department said in a news release. She was arrested Friday and charged with 30 counts of ill treatment of animals after 30 decomposing animals — 28 dogs and two cats — were found in cages and crates in her home, officials said. Police were called to Pennington’s home in Columbia on May 22 to conduct a welfare check after they got a call saying a “smell of death” was coming from the home, the sheriff's department said. Officers entered the home and “found a disturbing and extreme case of animal cruelty,” the release said. They discovered the decomposing animals inside and found they had been dead for a “significant amount of time,” appearing to have died from “starvation and dehydration,” the sheriff’s office said. "They were lying in their own waste and it is believed that they died in the cages and had not been moved prior to being discovered,” officials said. The sheriff’s department removed the animals with help from local animal control authorities. It’s not clear why Pennington wasn’t arrested until Friday. Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott called the discovery one of the worst cases of animal cruelty he’d seen. It’s appalling, and it’s heartbreaking," he said. “This is someone who was entrusted by the community to care for these animals and find them homes. She betrayed that trust, and she betrayed the trust of these innocent animals who relied on her.” In addition to operating GROWL, Pennington was employed by the Kershaw County Humane Society, a pet adoption center, the sheriff's department said.

https://www.motorcyclenews.com/news/new-bikes/2023-honda-hornet/ These official design sketches are the first detailed images of the all-new Honda Hornet, which the Japanese giant first announced at Eicma in November 2021. The sporty roadster revives the name of the affordable, naked CB600F originally produced between 1998 and 2006 in response to Suzuki’s 600 Bandit – which later spawned both a 900cc version and an updated successor from 2007-2013. However, although the original was a 97bhp inline-four derived from the CBR600F, the new Hornet, as indicated by a video soundtrack played at Eicma, is expected to be powered by an all-new, high-revving, parallel twin reminiscent of Yamaha’s po[CENSORED]r MT-07. Sources in Japan have also indicated the engine is likely to be around 750cc. Honda Hornet design concept Although Honda has yet to officially comment on its specification, the change in configuration is almost certainly due to a number of factors. Firstly, a twin is far cheaper to develop and easier to make comply with the latest emissions regulations than a four. The Hornet ‘brand’ is as an affordable roadster – once again po[CENSORED]r, as proven by the MT-07. Finally, Honda is expected to use the platform for a whole family of bikes, likely to include a new Transalp mid-range adventure bike in much the same way as Yamaha used the MT-07 as a base for Ténéré 700. So, expect there to be a junior version of Honda’s Africa Twin in the pipeline. The ‘affordable, versatile’ theme is continued by what looks like a tubular steel trellis frame. Honda Hornet tank design concept The new Hornet is being being developed at Honda’s European R&D centre in Rome with styling by 28-year-old designer Giovanni Dovis (who also styled the recent ADV350 scooter) and has shades not only of the MT-07 but also Honda’s CB500F and even KTM’s 890 Duke. The finished bike is expected to be unveiled later this year. Hornet returns! Honda revive legendary naked bike name for surprise concept at Eicma First published 23 November 2021 by Dan Sutherland A sleek back end is reminiscent of the Fireblade superbike Honda have announced plans to revive the iconic Hornet name – revealing a surprise naked bike concept at the Eicma trade show, in Milan. The Japanese firm delivered the announcement at the end of their annual news conference at the beginning of the first day of the show, confirming that the name would return for a future model year. Sitting alongside this bold statement was a new, raked out naked concept on their stand, which lays the foundations for the new machine. Honda Hornet concept engine diagram There are no official details on the bike at this stage, however we can tell you that it will be powered by a combustion engine, with accompanying sound effects around the stage suggesting it will be a revvy, mid-sized parallel-twin, complete with a quick shifter. Outside of that, the front nose piece bears a good resemblance with KTM’s 890 Duke range – a likely rival for the new bike when it arrives. We’d expect it to produce in the region of 100bhp to 115bhp, too. Also visible are aggressive shoulders on either side of the petrol tank, which appear more pronounced than the ones found on the existing CB naked roadster range. A new Honda Hornet could rival a KTM 890 Duke Completing the look is a wide, flat tail reminiscent of the Honda Fireblade superbike. No official sources were available at the event to pass further comment at this time. The new Honda Hornet will be the first bike to use this name since the second-generation naked produced between 2007 and 2013. The name itself stretches back to 1998, with the launch of the original four-cylinder CB600F Hornet.

https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2022/jun/12/we-need-stories-from-older-mothers-and-from-women-who-dont-want-children-too Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett’s column on the importance of telling stories of motherhood focused on Rachel Cusk’s A Life’s Work, which Cosslett notes was criticised on publication, mainly by mothers (Writing honestly about motherhood still provokes anger, but we must tell our stories, 6 June). Cusk noted in 2008 that many of her critics exhibited a “hunger to express themselves not as women, not as commentators or intellectuals, but as mothers”. Honest stories of motherhood are essential, but so too are identities beyond the maternal, for both mothers and non-mothers. We must come to know women as more than nurturing caregivers. Although truthful stories of motherhood are gaining traction, our culture tends to see all women of child-bearing age as potential mothers. Any thirtysomething can tell you about a time they were asked when they would have children, told they’d make a wonderful mother, or condescendingly advised that they would change their mind about not having children. The choice to not have children should be free of judgment in the same way that mothers who complain about their children should not be vilified. We see examples of this unshakable expectation every day in po[CENSORED]r culture – even in this publication, in which a columnist once implied that if it were not for financial woes or fear of commitment, millennials would of course be having children instead of pets. Many people want children, but not everyone. Monica Cardenas London I remember devouring Rachel Cusk’s book. A friend recommended it when I was struggling to look after a three-year-old and newborn in a new city, and I was so grateful to find I wasn’t alone in finding motherhood boring as well as immensely joyous. She opened the door to more honest writing about the huge change that occurs in a woman’s life when she becomes a mother However, having now been a mother for more than 20 years, I would make a plea that we need to hear more from those who’ve been mothers for longer. Pregnancy, birth and those early months are the start of a long journey. My experience of motherhood has changed as my family expanded and as I and my three children grow older. Motherhood becomes more isolated, as there’s no equivalent of baby and toddler classes or the school gate for parents of teenagers. There are new and – for some – harder challenges: faced with a sobbing teenager, I thought wistfully of the days when I could solve most of their problems for them. More stories from mothers of older children and young people would help us all along the long road of parenthood. Claire Flood-Page. In this modern, enlightened age, there are probably few more taboo aspects of motherhood than the older mother’s experience of having an adult child (and possibly grandchildren) emigrate to the other side of the world. Having lived through this over 10 years ago, I was shocked by the expectation, often from other women, that I must be outwardly positive about it, and suppress my profound sense of loss. It seemed that to be open about my pain was to be a “bad mother”. Yet a 2012 study found that in older parents whose children emigrate, it “is mostly experienced as a vast loss, almost akin to a death”, which is exactly how it felt to me. Is it ageism that requires older women to keep quiet about this aspect of motherhood? Is there any stage of life when a mother has the right to tell her own story?

https://edition.cnn.com/2022/06/12/europe/bakhmut-donetsk-russia-ukraine-intl-cmd/index.html At first glance Bakhmut doesn't look like a city at war. As we drove into the city in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine on a warm sunny morning, men in orange vests tend to the roses. The tall trees shading the streets are thick with leaves. Traffic is light because of fuel shortages, so many residents get around on bicycles. This peaceful façade, however, is deceptive. Explosions regularly echo over Bakhmut: the blasts of outgoing and incoming artillery and rockets outside, and occasionally inside, the city. Our first stop was a municipal building where volunteers were handing out bread. With cooking gas no longer available, bakeries have stopped working. Every day a truck arrives after a 10-hour journey with 10,000 loaves of bread, handed out free -- two loaves per person. Residents in Bakhmut are given free loaves of bread. Residents in Bakhmut are given free loaves of bread. Lyilya has brought her two grandchildren to pick up bread. "We support them," she says, explaining what she does to keep their minds at ease. "We tell them there are some guys playing with tanks. What else can I tell them? How can I damage their mental health? You can't do that. It's impossible." Just as the last words come out of her mouth the air shakes with multiple blasts. She turns to her grandchildren with gentle words of reassurance. On a nearby forested hill, thin threads of black smoke curl into the sky where the blasts came from — most likely a Ukrainian rocket launcher. No one flinches. No one runs for cover. Tetyana volunteers with the bread distribution. A stocky woman with an easy smile, she exchanges pleasantries as she hands out the bread. When I ask if she intends to stay in Bakhmut if Russian forces push closer, her demeanor changes. She shakes her head. "We love our town. Our graves are here. Our parents lived her. We won't go anywhere," she insists, her voice quivering. Tears well up in her eyes. "It's our land. We won't give it up to anyone. Even if it's destroyed, we'll rebuild. Everything will be..." and here she gives two thumbs up. A teddy-bear wrapped in bandages is placed at the site of a strike in Bakhmut. A teddy-bear wrapped in bandages is placed at the site of a strike in Bakhmut. Bakhmut sits by the main road leading to the twin cities of Lysychansk and Severodonetsk, now the epicenter of fighting in eastern Ukraine. The latter has been the scene of intense street-to-street combat between Ukrainian and Russian forces. For weeks Russian forces have bombarded the road, and Bakhmut, in what is seen as an attempt to cut the twin cities off from the rest of Ukrainian-controlled territory. Ukrainian officials have said most of Severodonetsk is now under Russian control and that Moscow plans to isolate it in the coming days. Overnight Russian forces destroyed the second of three bridges between the two cities and is heavily shelling the third. Serhiy Hayday, head of the Luhansk region military administration, said the area of the Azot chemical plant in Severodonetsk has been "shelled very heavily for hours, destroying everything there with heavy caliber [munitions]." Hayday says he expects the Russians to "throw all their reserves to seize the city," and said it's possible they will cut off and seize the main highway into the city. If that city and Lysychansk fall, Bakhmut, it is feared, will be next. Unlike in some other parts of the country, there is no sense here in the east that the worst of this war is over. Russian forces have made slow but steady progress there. The head of Ukrainian intelligence recently told The Guardian that for every one artillery piece possessed by the Ukrainian military, Russian has between 10 and 15. Others, including President Vlodymyr Zelensky, claim that every day as many as 100 Ukrainian soldiers are killed, and around 500 wounded. In this grinding war of attrition, Russia, far bigger and better armed, is pressing its advantage. All of this is no secret here. In a city-run dormitory, Lyudmila is preparing lunch for her two children, frying onions and boiling potatoes. She fled her town outside Bakhmut in March to escape the shelling. "Home" now is a small, cramped room. Her husband died before the war. Kolya came to Bakhmut with his mother and sister in March to escape the shelling. Now he lives with them in a cramped room at a student dormitory. Kolya came to Bakhmut with his mother and sister in March to escape the shelling. Now he lives with them in a cramped room at a student dormitory. She says she has nowhere else to go, and barely any money, and asks with an edge of irritation, what is the point? The Russians are coming. "It's the same everywhere," she says. "When they [the Russians] are done here, they'll go further." She shrugs and walks away down the dark corridor. "That's all I have to say" she shouts back over her shoulder. Thursday morning Russian aircraft struck a complex of agricultural warehouses on the edge of Bakhmut. It was the third strike on the complex in recent weeks. A gaping hole in the pavement shows where one bomb hit, spraying shrapnel in every direction, ripping holes in a warehouse of wheat. Plump pigeons circle overhead, ready to feast on the grain. The weather has been good this year. The wheat harvest is just weeks away. Yet the war threatens to cut production by a third. Bakhmut police Major Pavlo Diachenko spends his days documenting the aftermath of air and artillery strikes. He knows only too well how random they seem. Strikes, he tells me with a sigh, can happen "anytime. In the morning, in the evening. We don't [know] when." A small group of people gathers mid-morning in a parking lot next to a municipal building, waiting for a volunteer-run bus to take them to the relative safety of the city of Dnipro, a four-hour drive to the west. Igor, a beekeeper in peacetime, is startled by a large blast as he stands in the shade. He's leaving with his cat, Simon Simonyonich, who frowns through the bars of his blue and white pet carrier. Simon Simonyonich has been out of sorts since Bakhmut came under fire, remarks Igor. "I left everything here -- my bees and my house with all my belongings," he says, holding Simon's cage as he prepares to board the bus. Moments later, another blast shakes the ground. Soon the bus is loaded, the passengers sitting in their seats. "Is anyone here with the army?" the driver asks. The bus is strictly for civilians. A sardonic chuckle ripples among the passengers. Most are well past military age. The door slams shut. The bus begins to move. After one final blast, the bus pulls out of the parking lot.

https://edition.cnn.com/2022/06/11/politics/donald-trump-january-6-democrats-moderate/index.html Former President Donald Trump still manages to dominate the political headlines, nearly a year and half after leaving office. On Thursday, the House select committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol used its first prime-time hearing to make the case that Trump used his power to try and overturn the 2020 election result. The committee faces political headwinds, however. A majority of Americans (55%) now believe that Trump was either not or only partially responsible for the rioters who overtook the Capitol, according to a recent NBC News poll. That's up from 47% in January 2021. Trump's improving political position is where we begin today. January 6 did little damage to Trump over the long term Analysts like me remarked over and over again during Trump's time in office that he was one of, if not the most unpo[CENSORED]r presidents. He left office with the lowest approval rating of any president at the end of his first term (39%) and the highest disapproval rating (58%) thanks in part to a late swoon following the events of January 6, 2021. Today, Trump's polling position with Americans overall is one of his best, and he remains the front-runner for the 2024 Republican nomination. The former President's favorable rating stands at 43% with an unfavorable rating of 52%. That makes for a net favorability rating of -9 points -- not particularly high, but then Trump was never particularly po[CENSORED]r. He averaged a net approval rating during his presidency of -12 points. A 3-point jump in net po[CENSORED]rity may not seem like much, but his current net favorability rating is higher than 86% of his net approval ratings during his presidency. If nothing else, it's 10 points higher than his net approval rating at the end of his time in office. In 2024 matchups against President Joe Biden, Trump is running a point or two ahead of Biden, on average. It wouldn't be particularly impressive for most politicians to be leading, within the margin of error, a President with a low-40s approval rating. But being barely ahead or tied with Biden would have been a revelation for Trump in 2020. He managed to lead in only about 1% of all national polls taken in 2020 -- and in none that met CNN's standards for publication. In raw numbers, Trump's been ahead in more polls against Biden over the past few months than he was for the entirety of 2020. Why you can't rely on Trump to help win a GOP primary in 2022 Why you can't rely on Trump to help win a GOP primary in 2022 And while Trump is not as po[CENSORED]r among Republicans as he was on Election Day 2020, he's still the man to beat in the GOP field. Trump's favorable rating with Republicans is at or slightly north of 80%. His "very favorable" rating is in the low 50s. By this measure, Trump is more beloved by Republicans than Biden is by Democrats. There is no Republican active in the political arena who is as well liked at this point by the party faithful as Trump. Ahead of 2024, Trump continues to post some of the strongest numbers in national primary polls for any nonincumbent in the last 50 years. He laps the field with about 50% of the vote. Previous nonincumbents polling at Trump's level all went on to win their party's nomination for president if they decided to run. Trump may be a unique case, though, as a former incumbent. Indeed, Trump's numbers don't make him a sure thing. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis holds a higher favorable rating than Trump among Republicans who hold an opinion of both men. Still, Trump is in an enviable position. One that might have been unimaginable when he left office in January 2021. So just what happened to allow Trump to become less unpo[CENSORED]r? The answer is probably simple: time. Trump is no longer the president. Americans' memories tend to be very short. Issues that once seemed important (e.g., controlling the coronavirus pandemic) have sunk to the bottom of the priorities list for most voters, as new concerns arise (e.g., inflation). The question for which the answer is yet unknown is what happens if Trump decides to run for president again? Will the American public's strong dislike of him from January 2021 return? Or does distance really make the heart grow fonder? We may just find out. Democrats get a reminder: Their base is not very liberal The other big political story of this week happened about as far away from Washington, DC, as you can get in the contiguous United States. Progressive San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin got recalled on Tuesday night. At the same time, in the nonpartisan primary for Los Angeles mayor, progressive US Rep. Karen Bass was forced into a November runoff by businessman Rick Caruso. Both results showed the potency of a tough-on-crime message, even in Democratic strongholds, as I discussed earlier this week. But they also demonstrate that Democrats overall aren't anywhere near as liberal as many progressives wish they were. Take a look at a CNN/SSRS poll from earlier this year. Among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents, 64% identified as moderate or conservative. Just 17% said they were very liberal, with the remainder indicating they were somewhat liberal. Republicans are gaining with female voters, as gender gap shrinks Republicans are gaining with female voters, as gender gap shrinks Other polling isn't nearly as dramatic, though it makes the same point. Summer 2021 data from the Pew Research Center poll for instance showed that 15% of Democrats were very liberal, while 52% were either moderate (45%), conservative (5%) or very conservative (2%). The 2020 general election exit poll showed that just 42% of Biden voters were liberal, while 58% were moderate or conservative. Indeed, this feels like a discussion we have about the Democrats every other year. There is an argument that the party is moving left (which it very well may be), while the polls continue to show that Democratic voters are nowhere near as left-leaning as some on Twitter make them out to be. We just saw Biden win the party's presidential nomination over Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in 2020. Four years prior, Sanders lost the nomination to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Arguably, Barack Obama is the only Democrat since 2000 to win the nomination with a disproportionate amount of support from the very liberal compared with other ideological groups. Obama's secret sauce was that he was also able to win Black voters. No Democratic nominee has won without them in over 30 years. They're far less likely to identify as liberal or very liberal as Democrats as a whole. This doesn't mean that very progressive politicians can't win office. Many of them do. Ideology is one of several things that determine whom people vote for, especially in primaries. The fact is, however, that the Democratic base is not like the Republican base when it comes to the pull of the ideological extremes. The Republican base is far more likely to identify as conservative than moderate, and very conservatives make up a roughly similar share of Republicans as moderates do. It's no wonder then that even in cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco, which Biden won by over 50 points, progressives are far from shoo-ins. For your brief encounters: It's Flag Day on Tuesday Flag Day (June 14) is not a major holiday, but Americans do love their flag. In fact, actions toward the American flag are the top way for US citizens to show their patriotism. According to a 2018 SSRS poll, 23% said flying, saluting, displaying or respecting the flag in general was the way they showed their American patriotism. That beat out respecting or supporting the troops (15%) for the top spot. The topic most frequently spoken about in this column (voting) came in at 11% -- good for fourth place. Leftover polls The transgender/nonbinary age divide: According to a new Pew report, 1.6% of American adults identify as either transgender (0.6%) or nonbinary (1.0%). Among those under the age of 30, it's 5.1% (2.0% transgender and 3.1% nonbinary). Among those age 50 and older, it's only 0.3% (0.2% transgender and 0.1% nonbinary). Growing cancel culture knowledge: Pew shows that 61% of adults now have a great deal or fair amount of knowledge of the phrase "cancel culture." In 2020, 44% did. New Yorkers don't own cars: In a stat that may be unfathomable to most, 52% of New York City residents told Siena College in its latest poll that they did not own a car.

The mountain lion that made its way into Pescadero High School in San Mateo County is 6 to 8 months old and likely an orphan, according to the Oakland Zoo, which is now caring for the animal. The cub was discovered just before 8:30 a.m. Wednesday as the custodial staff was preparing to open the school, a San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson said. It was removed Wednesday afternoon and had to be tranquilized for capture and transport, the zoo said. No students or staff were ever in danger as the school was not in session yet," the spokesperson said. It’s not clear how the mountain lion entered the school in Pescadero, a small community near the coast around 30 miles west of San Jose.

Students and staff were sent home for the day as a precaution, the sheriff’s office said. The mountain lion will be sent to a zoo, the Oakland Zoo said. It said the animal is too young to survive alone — mountain lions spend their first two years learning from their mothers — and no other mountain lions have been seen in the area. The animal, a male, is underweight but otherwise healthy, the zoo said. He was found under a teacher’s desk and was calm, it said.

https://www.po[CENSORED]rmechanics.com/cars/motorcycles/g2309/best-motorcycle-buys/ Engine: 399-cc parallel twin Weight (with fuel and fluids): 366 lb. Transmission: 6-speed Lightweight, affordable, practical, and with cool looks, the Ninja comes with the ideal engine for newbies who want to learn to ride skillfully without earning too many speeding tickets. There are other sporty, road-focused motorcycles like it, but most have single-cylinder engines, which can vibrate at highway speeds. The Ninja’s twin-cylinder, however, is smooth on highways but still light enough to be manageable in real-world traffic and parking lots. It’s exemplary of a formula that Kawi has been perfecting for decades. Just make sure to spend the $300 extra for ABS. The 2020 model is unchanged from the 2019 version, so a used Ninja 400 can work just as well. We also would consider the Suzuki SV650 ABS ($7,499), which has enough power for almost any level rider, plus Low RPM Assist, which helps prevent you stalling out. And there’s the Honda NC750X ($8,099). It has even more power, plus a storage compartment above the gas tank, and an optional automatic transmission for $800 more.

https://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/life-style/pride-month-after-political-storm-gay-days-return-disney-7963820/lite/ Last Friday evening, about 6,000 people — almost all of them gay men — poured into a Walt Disney World water park near Orlando, Florida. Each had spent $100 or more on tickets for a private, adults-only Pride bacchanal called Riptide. “For one night, Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park becomes entirely yours for the party of the year,” online ads had promised. “Be part of the magic!” Bandwagon builds for LGBTQ diversity on children’s TV An actual rainbow arched over the park’s thunder-shower-soaked parking lot as the sun set, prompting several attendees to joke that Disney had outdone itself with Pride theming this year. But the party was not a Disney-orchestrated event, not by a long shot. A few ticket holders turned up in wrestling singlets, while others had outfitted themselves in bondage-scene chest harnesses. Later, a squadron of go-go boys ceded the stage to drag queen Trinity the Tuck. I stood among the revelers wearing a black Polo shirt and khaki shorts, which led to an impromptu intervention from a stranger, Jose Rodriguez, 27. “What’s with your outfit?” he asked. “You look like an uptight soccer dad, and it’s not a good vibe. Go take off some of those clothes!”

The helicopter appeared to have crashed on the bed of a stream, the Lama, at the Passo degli Scaloni, 1,922 meters above sea level, SkyTg24 reported. Italy's National Flight Safety Agency said Saturday it had opened an investigation and sent an investigator to the scene of the accident involving the A119 Koala helicopter, the agency said. The rescue operations were carried out by CNSAS, the Italian fire brigade and the Italian police and personnel of the Air Force. "We got some coordinates, we went to the place and found everything burned. The helicopter is inside a valley, near a stream, we are trying to bring all the rescue teams to then reach the area on foot, because it is difficult to get there with the winch," a soldier said earlier on Saturday, in a video posted on the Italian Air Force's verified Twitter profile.
