Opinion: The elephants at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo deserve more than an acre

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 18:18:33 GMT

As an elephant biologist, I have spent years observing elephants in the wild. I’ve gotten to know them as individuals and have been privileged to witness them play, mate, care for their young, and lead their families through episodes of drought and violence. I live in Colorado, and I recently visited the elephants at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs. The contrast to what I have seen in the wild was extreme.Jambo, Kimba, LouLou, Lucky, and Missy were all captured from the wild in the ‘70s and ‘80s. They now live on less than an acre, with limited access to a two-acre “vacation” yard. They can walk no more than 100 yards in any direction, and on cold days, they are restricted to a barn with even less space. Their wild counterparts walk several miles or more every day and roam over hundreds to thousands of square miles.The Nonhuman Rights Project has filed a lawsuit on behalf of these elephants, alleging that their captivity at the zoo amounts to unjust imprisonment, and d...

Enrico Sangiuliano Sees a Glitch in Time

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 18:18:33 GMT

Enrico Sangiuliano Sees a Glitch in Time: Italian electronic artist Enrico Sangiuliano sees DJing and producing as two symbiotic things.“I started collecting music, recording it from FM radio straight on tape cassette and dividing it per genre (techno, trance, drum n bass, hardcore) in 1994 when I was 8,” he says. “At the same time I was developing a profound interest for percussion and I’d spend the days playing with my hands on school benches before switching to the drums. Once I discovered computers and the possibility of creating sounds non present in reality and playing with them, my faith was set. It got interesting when I started playing in the illegal rave scene in Italy around 16. My own (unreleased) productions were standing at the centre of my DJ sets. Sound Design studies helped to finetune my passion for tweaking knobs. A couple of years later my own (released) productions were climbing the international charts and being supported by global DJs. In 201...

There are also reports of people using CBD oil for appetite regulation, achy joints, and migraines — all of which should benefit pregnant women.However, health officials have raised significant concerns over using CBD products while pregnant. Despite all of CBD’s potential benefits, pregnant women shouldn’t use this supplement until doctors are confident it won’t have adverse side effects.So, Is Hemp Extract Harmful For Pregnant Women?It’s too early to definitively say how CBD oil affects pregnant women and their children. However, a recent animal study by the University of Minnesota didn’t show promising results. For this trial, scientists examined CBD’s effect on pregnant rats and their babies.

Things are staring to look mighty festive inside California bars and restaurants as the holiday season approaches. That’s especially the case at establishments hosting the Miracle and Sippin’ Santa pop-up experiences, which include over-the-top Christmas décor, specialty cocktails and some seriously adorable, kitschy barware.The Miracle concept was created in 2014 by Greg Boehm, a New York-based bar owner who, on the advice of his mom, decided to halt construction on his new East Village cocktail bar, Mace, and transform the space instead into a pop-up bar serving holiday-themed drinks.
