Africa's Elephant Queen | Kenya
TIM NOONAN: This is Tsavo, Kenya's largest national park, 11,000 square kilometres big, home to the largest land animals on earth. It's a privilege to see the herds of African elephants roaming free. But these baby elephants almost didn't make it. They're all orphans. And in this orphanage near Nairobi, they're being taught the skills they'll need if they're to have any chance of returning to the wild. Dame Daphne Sheldrick: Elephants have all the same emotions as humans and that we've learned over 50 years. They can read your heart and your mind, they really can. They can. TIM NOONAN: Some of these youngsters will soon be ready to be released into the national park. Thanks in no small way to the woman they call the 'Elephant Mother' - Dame Daphne Sheldrick. Dame Daphne Sheldrick: All the elephants that we've saved, not one of them would have lived without us. TIM NOONAN: Dame Daphne was born in Kenya to English parents.
She has raised two daughters and 130 orphaned elephants and counting. They really are like babies, aren't they? Dame Daphne Sheldrick: They really are, yes. But, you know, it's very important that they sleep soundly at night. And you know that there are no tummy aches, no problems. It's very important to keep tabs on what goes in the front end and what comes out of the back.
TIM NOONAN: Dame Daphne's love affair with elephants began when she worked as a warden with her husband, David, in Tsavo National Park. When David died of a heart attack in 1977 she opened a centre in his name to protect the baby elephants. TIM NOONAN: Why are these elephants being orphaned? Dame Daphne Sheldrick: Mainly it's poaching for ivory, it's the ivory trade. And as long as there is a demand for ivory, particularly in the Far East, there's going to be people in Africa that will be killing elephants for money. The wild animal trade is as big as the drugs trade and the arms trade now. TIM NOONAN: As many as 35,000 elephants every year, 100 a day, are killed for the ivory trade. This is the heartbreaking scene being played out all too often - a mother's leg has been shattered by a poacher's gun, and her baby refuses to leave her side.
She knows only that she has to protect her dying mother. The rescuers from Daphne's orphanage have come to try to save the baby. TIM NOONAN: If you didn't step in, how long would they survive? Dame Daphne Sheldrick: Probably two weeks, max. TIM NOONAN: The mother cannot be helped and will have to be euthanised. Her baby is starving and exhausted but still fights to stay with her mum. She's eventually flown back to Daphne's orphanage where for the first time since her mother was shot by poachers, she drinks milk. (SLURPS) Dame Daphne Sheldrick: The way to turn them around is to bring the other orphans that are already settled in the nursery around them, and they can see the reaction that the other orphans have with their keepers. TIM NOONAN: You become their father, you become their mother, you become their best friend.
Edwin: We become everything to them. TIM NOONAN: Head keeper Edwin leads a team of 50 elephant handlers. Edwin: If you don't love them, then you have a lot of problems with them. Especially elephants because elephants are very intelligent animals. They can reason like we do. They can figure what is in your mind and they can tell if you are thinking negative or positive about them and that can make them become your friends or your enemies.
So you need to have a positive heart, you need to love them so that you can become a keeper. That is the most important thing. TIM NOONAN: Caring for a baby elephant is a full-time job. The keepers sleep in the same shelter as the orphans. And before dawn, the day begins again. Good morning. Somebody's already awake. One by one, the little elephants rush to join the other kids. The morning routine starts with brekky in the bush. But one of the orphans is proving to be a handful for one of the keepers - Amos. Amos: That one.....is a very naughty one. TIM NOONAN: He's the troublemaker? Amos: The keepers give him a nickname. We call him 'al-Qaeda' because he's in trouble all the time, pushing others down. TIM NOONAN: You call him al-Qaeda? Amos: Yeah.
TIM NOONAN: A vital ingredient in the healing process is milk. C'mon. For years, Daphne struggled to get the milk formula right. Dame Daphne Sheldrick: They cannot digest the fat of cow's milk. And actually, the nearest thing to the fat in elephant's milk - and it's not perfect - is coconut. And it took a long time to actually figure that out. TIM NOONAN: And if the milk feeding time at the orphanage is any guide... (GROWLS) ..Daphne's milk hits the spot. (ALL GROWL) (KEEPERS TALK) TIM NOONAN: You thirsty, mate? You're walking them into this truck here, disguised.
What's the purpose of it? Edwin: The purpose of this is to get them used to getting in the truck and feeding them from there. So that one morning, when they're ready, we take them in and we close the doors and we start our journey to Tsavo where we're introducing them back into the wild. TIM NOONAN: Today, three of Daphne's orphans are going to be released. It's a 4-hour drive to the Tsavo National Park. This is their new home - thousands of square kilometres of wilderness, a second chance at life.
And while there's no way of knowing whether or not they'll survive down there, this time, it's nature's call. But first, they arrive at a halfway house. A transition stop where they're introduced to a herd of other elephants who were also saved. (GROWLS) (TRUMPETS) This moment here is what it's all about. Every single one of these elephants were orphans rescued from almost certain death. (ALL GROWL AND TRUMPET) OK, bye-bye. Dame Daphne Sheldrick: We've had quite a lot of critics that say, "This is a bunny-hugging thing, "you're a lot of bunny huggers." You know, that's what they throw at you all the time.
And I say to them, "It's better to be a bunny hugger than a butcher." TIM NOONAN: The orphan elephants may be free but for the next few years they will rarely stray from the safety of this watering hole. The hope is that they'll eventually find wild elephants to live with. But incredibly, while we were there, nature pitched in to help. A wild herd - including several large bulls - finds the orphans. (GROWLS) The return to the wild is a step closer. At the end of the day, what's in it for you? Dame Daphne Sheldrick: The satisfaction of knowing that you've actually raised a herd of elephants. And to see them playing and happy and living their normal wild life again back where they rightfully belong, that's the joyful part of it. (TRUMPETS) You can't just abandon them, that's not an option. So for better or worse we'll be around.

- OK, y'all, these are the formations for the African dance. You do not know the intro, but you're about to learn it. The African dance showcases the versatility of the team. OK, everybody get down. You're going to be on your knees, hands in .. Step out with your left knee. hands up jazz. 1, 2, head, and head. Lean head, down hip, pop, 7, and 8. The African dance is a mixture of tribal movements. It has ballet style. It has passes. It has . It has pique turns. It has a lot of leaps and jumps.
Lean and head. Lean and head. Why are you up here-- you're up here rolling your neck. You dip your whole body. Get your booty out there. You're up like this. Sit down. Do it again. The Prancing Tigerettes are one of the Dancing Dolls' biggest rivalries, so I want them to dance as if President Obama is about to hit the building, and they're giving a million dollars away to the best dance team. Let's try it with music and see if you can do it. Get down. They need to always be on their toes and ready for whatever. Sometimes I'm having cuts, and I'm not even telling them that I'm having cuts. You don't know what I'm going to do. Make sure you're ready for whatever at any given time. OK, y'all ready? Here comes the music. Crystianna, I say that's too loud. I shouldn't be talking to you. Come on, Crystianna, where are you supposed to be? they hard or too soft. Come on, Sunjai, . It looks really awful. When you dance, you need to breathe, because as soon as you start to shut down, you can guarantee the judges are looking right in your face.
I mean, I scream, and I yell a lot. A lot. Anytime there are ever mistakes, that one person that makes a mistake, the judge is going to follow you around the floor the whole time to see, oh, she's going to mess up again. Oh, she's out of breath. Oh, she's on the wrong foot. And they're going to-- the whole squad loses points because of that one person. It has to be no mistakes on the floor. Name a football coach that doesn't yell. Name a basketball coach that doesn't yell. You know, I watch the Eagles coach all the time scream and go crazy from the sidelines. And I'm like, yeah, get their butt. That's right. Y'all can not get out there and just give it away. Y'all be pissed off about last week. I'm still mad. African dance is what we need to go ahead and have cuts on right now. Every time she has cuts, Miss Dianna yells.
So it's kind of like you've got to take what she giving you about it and be like, next time dance harder. When I call your name, these are the folks, the 20, to have made cuts for right now. Let me see Maya Hayes, ,, Kayla, Camryn, Makalah, Crystianna, Tamia, ,, Shakayla, Sydney, Caitlyn, Tiara, Ken'Janae, Makaya, Brianna Jones, Jayden, Brianna Williams, Shakira Gatlin, and Sunjai. Not everybody's doing African dance, so she made the cut for that, and I'm just being so proud, but I want to be even more prouder when Sunjai make cuts for stand battle. kill this .. Energy, energy, energy, energy the entire time. the Dancing Dolls. All right, y'all! Slow down. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. I didn't make ,, but I am excited about the African dance. We're going to have probably one of the best creative dance routines, because I'm sure people down there are not expecting what we're going to do. All right, ladies! When all of them rush to stage with those red and white feathers, I was like, don't talk. You know, nobody speak, because right now the girls are ready to do it.
It was amazing. Everything was perfect. Sunjai was out there. You know, I couldn't take my eyes off her. She did an awesome job. I just felt like I was going to jump up and cry. I was happy that I got to get up there and do it with the rest of the girls, go up there and compete. With our creative dance, we actually did something different. You went back to African dance, mother land.
What you do? Pray for Tigerettes. Snap those heads, baby! That's what I'm talking about! The routine was just beautiful. Everything flowed perfectly. I mean, it was just great. .
What really happened during the Salem Witch Trials - Brian A. Pavlac
https://www.youtube.com/embed/NVd8kuufBhM
You’ve been accused of a crime you did not commit. It’s impossible to prove your innocence. If you insist that you’re innocent anyway, you’ll likely be found guilty and executed. But if you confess, apologize, and implicate others for good measure, you’ll go free. Do you give a false confession— or risk a public hanging? This was the choice facing those accused of witchcraft in the village of Salem, Massachusetts between February 1692 and May 1693. They were the victims of paranoia about the supernatural, misdirected religious fervor— and a justice system that valued repentance over truth. Salem was settled in 1626 by Puritans, a group of English protestants. Life was strict and isolated for the people of Salem. Battles with their Native American neighbors and groups of French settlers were commonplace. People feared starvation and disease, and relations between villagers were strained. To make matters worse, 1692 brought one of the coldest winters on record. That winter, two cousins, 9 year old Betty Parris and 11 year old Abigail Williams started behaving very strangely. A physician found nothing physically wrong — but diagnosed the girls as under “an evil hand.” Puritans believed that the Devil wreaked havoc in the world through human agents, or witches, who blighted nature, conjured fiendish apparitions, and tormented children.
As news swept through the village, the symptoms appeared to spread. Accounts describe 12 so-called “afflicted” girls contorting their bodies, having fits, and complaining of prickling skin. Four of the girls soon accused three local women of tormenting them. All three of the accused were considered outsiders in some way. On February 29th, the authorities arrested Sarah Good, a poor pregnant mother of a young daughter, Sarah Osbourne, who had long been absent from church and was suing the family of one of her accusers, and Tituba, an enslaved woman in Betty Parris’s home known by her first name only. Tituba denied harming the girls at first.
But then she confessed to practicing witchcraft on the Devil’s orders, and charged Good and Osbourne with having forced her. Osbourne and Good both maintained their innocence. Osbourne died in prison, while Good’s husband turned against her in court, testifying that she "was a witch or would be one very quickly." Good’s 4 year old daughter was imprisoned and eventually gave testimony against her mother. Meanwhile, Good gave birth in jail. Her baby died, and she was convicted and hanged shortly thereafter. Tituba was held in custody until May, and then released.
These three victims were just the beginning. As accusations multiplied, others, like Tituba, made false confession to save themselves. The authorities even reportedly told one accused witch that she would be hanged if she did not confess, and freed if she did. They were not particularly interested in thoroughly investigating the charges— in keeping with their Church’s teachings, they preferred that the accused confessed, asked for forgiveness, and promised not to engage in more witchcraft.
The court accepted all kinds of dubious evidence, including so-called “spectral evidence” in which the girls began raving when supposedly touched by invisible ghosts. Complicating matters further, many of the jurors in the trials were relatives of the accusers, compromising their objectivity. Those who dared to speak out, such as Judge Nathanial Saltonstall, came under suspicion. By the spring of 1693, over a hundred people had been imprisoned, and 14 women and 6 men had been executed. By this time, accusations were starting to spread beyond Salem to neighboring communities, and even the most powerful figures were targets.
When his own wife was accused, the governor of Massachusetts colony suspended the trials. Sentences were amended, prisoners released, and arrests stopped. Some have speculated that the girls were suffering from hallucinations caused by fungus; or a condition that caused swelling of the brain. But ultimately, the reason for their behavior is unknown. What we do know is that adults accepted wild accusations by children as hard evidence. Today, the Salem Witch Trials remain a cautionary tale of the dangers of groupthink and scapegoating, and the power of fear to manipulate human perception..

Elephant Shows Rhino Who's Boss!
Watch two of Africa’s Big 5 come face to face in an ancient rival standoff… Captured by 34-year-old Joe Gregory, while on a safari vacation. Joe gives his account to LatestSightings.com: “We embarked on our afternoon game drive and were driving around the marshy wetlands.” “We encountered a herd of elephant and a crash of rhinos – it was here where the standoff began.” “It was amazing to see & be a part of the standoff where a young elephant bull in musth showed this male white rhino who was boss.” “We could all physically feel the testosterone aura which surrounded the battlefield of these 2 ancient rivals.” “The sighting ended in a stalemate with no winner.” “I would, however, say, the balancing act of the branch and the elephant “throwing” the branch at the rhino was a somewhat cheeky ending to the tussle.”
