小象为母守夜: Emotional scene感人一幕 in Samburu, northern Kenya, as five-month-old held vigil 守夜, 守灵 - Heartbroken baby elephant refuses to leave dead mother's side through the night (as his rescuers fight to keep predators at bay): Oblivious to 忘了, 不顾 the cold - and predators - as night falls, an orphaned elephant calf holds a vigil by the body of his dead mother. The five-month-old lovingly laid his trunk on her as the emotional drama was played out in Samburu, northern Kenya. Worried for his safety, keepers worked through the night to capture the bull - who stubbornly refused to leave his mother's side. Vets were eventually able to tranquilise the youngster in the early hours of the morning, before driving him to the Samburu airstrip. A specialist team flew in to prepare the calf for the flight to his new home at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Elephant Orphanage. Located in the Nairobi National Park, the nursery is the only one of its kind in Kenya and receives elephants from across the country. After the flight, the severely dehydrated calf was driven to the orphanage, where keepers quenched his thirst with some milk and water. 'Sokotei's rescue was a battle against time 和时间赛跑 to keep him safe. Throughout the night, teams from Save the Elephants and the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust were there to support the young calf and everyone had a long night battling to keep him safe from predators by trying to catch him,' DSWT director Rob Brandford said. The rescue was part of the DSWT's 'Orphans Project', which rescues and reintegrates elephants into the wild. The orphanage looks after elephants under the age of three that are still 'milk dependent'. They are then sent to one of two reintegration centres in the Tsavo National Park - one in Voi and the other in Ithumba.
住酒店奇葩事: An overly-handsome waiter, a snoring girlfriend and the sea being too blue are among some of the bizarre complaints made to hotel staff, according to a survey published Monday. Travel search engine Skyscanner quizzed 400 international hotel workers to draw up a list of the top ten unusual grumbles and diva-like demands. Other complaints included sheets being too white, ice cream being too cold, the bath being too big and no steak on a vegetarian menu. One customer asked for a discount after his sleep was disturbed by his snoring girlfriend, while another asked for a refund as his dog had had an unhappy stay. Staff in a hotel in London's Mayfair were taken aback惊呆了 when a client bemoaned the lack of an ocean view. Equally eyebrow raising are some of the requests, including one for a dead mouse. One guest asked for a bowl of crocodile soup, another for a bath of honey while one hungry punter demanded 15 cucumbers a day. 大嘴美女: Julia Roberts, 46, beams with pride while cheering on her children as she displays lean legs瘦腿 during family getaway in Hawaii. She found fame more than 20 years ago in the hit romantic comedy Pretty Woman. And decades later, Julia Roberts looks as youthful as she did back then. The 46-year-old star displayed her toned, long legs in a short wetsuit while frolicking in the ocean during a recent trip to Hawaii. Julia wore her highlighted blonde hair in high ponytail and wisely went without make-up, showcasing her natural beauty. The Oscar winner looked thrilled to be enjoying the sunshine with her family, as she grinned widely while her children played in the water. Julia was seen clapping her hands with pride, and even pumping her fists in the air triumphantly as she watched her kids bodyboard. At one point, the beauty was seen giving her nine-year-old son Phinnaeus a hug, perhaps comforting him after a wipeout on his board. Danny showed off his impressive six-pack, donning blue board shorts as he enjoyed a dip in the ocean with his wife of 11 years. At another point during their getaway, the family hit the beach once again, but this time Julia opted to stay on the sand and watch as her family enjoyed the water. She displayed her legs once again in black cut-off shorts paired with a green plaid [plæd] 苏格拉格子衬衫 shirt, pulling her hair back in the same high bun. Julie also stopped by the shops during her trip, donning the same cut-off navy shorts paired with a loose grey T-shirt and grey flip flops. The holiday was taken before Julia attended the memorial service for her sister Nancy Motes, who tragically committed suicide in February. The movie superstar traveled from LA with her mother Betty Lou to pay her respects at the small gathering of family and friends in a remote and idyllic cemetery in Smyrna, Georgia. In a truly touching moment, Julia addressed the assembled guests to give an emotional tribute to her dead sister. 'No one was really expecting it, but Julia gave a little speech at one point during the ceremony,' a source told MailOnline. 'She kept it brief, but it was absolutely heartfelt and very moving. It showed just how much Nancy meant to her and was really fitting.' Julia had been hit with harsh criticism since Nancy died from a drug overdose in February, but on Saturday, showed her true feelings by attending the hour and twenty minute service in the blazing Georgia heat.
机场高物价: A snapshot study(In Psychology a snap shot study is a study which takes place over a short period of time, i.e. hours (possibly days) as opposed to a longitudinal study which takes place over a long period of time, i.e. weeks, months or even years. ) by online publisher Travelzoo found Australian airports marked up products available elsewhere for as little as half the price. The study, while hardly exhaustive([ɪɡˈzɔ:stɪv] thorough or complete The list is by no means exhaustive.), compared the prices of goods available at Australian airports, such as bottled water, parking and nappies, with those at other retail outlets, such as supermarket giant Coles. Travelzoo chief executive Brad Gurrie said the price of food, drinks and goods at airports should be regulated. "In a lot of instances, half the airports' revenues are coming from consumer-oriented products, so that means things like airport parking and retail," he said. "The thing about the tourism industry is that it's pretty flat. Airlines and hotels are going out with amazing deals, but when they turn up at the airport they're getting milked." "It's a really captured market ( Captive markets 愿者上钩的市场, 一个愿打一个愿挨的市场 are markets where the potential consumers face a severely limited number of competitive suppliers; their only choices are to purchase what is available or to make no purchase at all. Captive markets result in higher prices and less diversity for consumers. The term therefore applies to any market where there is a monopoly or oligopoly. Examples of captive-market environments include the food markets in cinemas, airports, and sports arenas, the Kosher food market in the United Kingdom and phone calls and food in jails prisons. Kosher foods 犹太食物 ([ˈkəuʃə(r)] I. approved or allowed by Jewish laws concerning food. kosher meat. II. informal not false. a. not illegal or dishonest. ) are those that conform to the regulations of kashrut (Jewish dietary law). Food that may be consumed according to halakha (Jewish law) is termed kosher in English, from the Ashkenazi pronunciation of the Hebrew term kashér (כָּשֵׁר), meaning "fit" (in this context, fit for consumption). Food that is not in accordance with Jewish law is called treif (Yiddish: טרײף or treyf, derived from Hebrew טְרֵפָה trāfáh). Regulatory capture is a form of political corruption that occurs when a regulatory agency监管机构, 规范机构, created to act in the public interest, instead advances the commercial or special concerns of interest groups利益集团 that dominate the industry or sector it is charged with regulating. Regulatory capture is a form of government failure; it creates an opening 开了口子 for firms to behave in ways injurious to the public (e.g., producing negative externalities). The agencies are called "captured agencies". ) and you don't have any options," Mr Gurrie said. "The pricing needs to be looked at and consumers need to prepare before they get to the airport and find alternatives to being pushed into paying these enormous prices." Brisbane Airport spokeswoman Leonie Vandeven said Travelzoo's data was flawed. "Coles is not a comparable operator and would have vastly stronger buying power than smaller operators," she said. Ms Vandeven said Brisbane Airport conducted regular price checks执行定期价格核查 of core items against other airports and shopping centres. "We work closely with airport retailers to develop compelling, value-based offerings for passengers," she said. But a reason Ms Vandeven said airport retailers had higher labour costs人力费用 than other operators. That was due, she said, to the costs associated with staff security clearances, extensive trading hours of up to 20 hours a day, penalty rates on weekends and public holidays, having to offer a higher hourly rate to attract staff and the need for goods to be screened before being allowed in the secure terminal. Licensed venues also faced higher fees for operating outside of core hours covered by liquor licensing, Ms Vendeven said. 悉尼地下贩毒团伙被打掉: Strange bedfellows arrested in massive crackdown on Sydney's underworld: They had been running small businesses - barber shops, service stations, cafes and the like - across Sydney with modest success, yet were living luxurious lifestyles with multimillion-dollar homes, flashy cars and racing boats. But, over the past two years, police have arrested 30 players in Sydney's drug market, picking them off almost one by one, in one of the longest and most successful crackdowns on organised crime in the city. It has revealed a series of unlikely bedfellows working together in Sydney's organised crime networks, allegedly to import and distribute all sorts of drugs; from opium and heroin from Iran, to MDA and ice from parts of Asia, and cocaine from South America. These discreet 小心谨慎的 businessmen were allegedly working with members of established bikie gangs. There is evidence of Middle Eastern crime figures allegedly doing deals with a senior member of the Bra Boys. Senior police sources say some of those arrested in the two-year operation named Strike Force Taipan, which concluded with the final two arrests at the side of the road at Flemington early on Thursday, have been in their sights 在...视野里. 注意到 for decades. Some of those arrested were well established in Sydney's underworld and, until now, untouched. "The investigators involved in Strike Force Taipan have been relentless 不遗余力的, 穷追不舍的 in their pursuit of some of the most serious and well organised criminals in NSW," Deputy Commissioner Nick Kaldas said. The first arrests occurred in February 2012 when Iranian-born Australian Mohammad Dashti, 43, walked into a storage unit on Sydney's north shore that housed several pallets of fruit juice boxes. Waiting police were more interested in the fact the juice containers hid 47.5 kilograms of "black tar" heroin, as well as almost 2.2 kilograms of brown heroin and 25.5 kilograms of ice - together worth more than $26 million on the streets. The arrest of Dashti and his colleague Abbas Bayatpour, who have now both pleaded guilty in court to large-scale drug importation, led police to a network that crossed traditional criminal and ethnic boundaries. Along with the Iranians, Italians, Chinese and Greeks were arrested. Among the 30 are associates关系人 of the Hells Angels and the Rebels. Commander of the Organised Crime Squad, Detective Superintendent Scott Cook said the connections were often formed through social networks. "The largest and most influential organised criminals are no longer working in silos ( silo [ˈsailəu] 粮仓, 储油罐等那种大型的储存仓 I. a tall round tower on a farm used for storing things such as grain, crops, and food for animals. II. a large underground structure for storing or protecting something. a nuclear missile silo. A silo is a structure for storing bulk materials. Silos are used in agriculture to store grain (see grain elevators) or fermented feed known as silage. Silos are more commonly used for bulk storage of grain, coal, cement, carbon black, woodchips, food products and sawdust. Three types of silos are in widespread use today: tower silos, bunker silos, and bag silos. ) along geographic or ethnic lines, rather they are working across numerous markets with an expansive and multi-faceted network of criminal contacts," Detective Superintendent Scott Cook, said, "The investigation by Strike Force Taipan, which has resulted in the arrests of people from a whole range of different backgrounds, reaffirms that point." Many of the 30 were operating what appeared to be legitimate businesses in suburbs across Sydney, allegedly using their existing company structures as a front to carry out deals with each other and to launder the drug money or send it overseas. Detective Superintendent Cook said police would be looking at the accountants and lawyers who might have assisted these alleged criminals in hiding their illegal businesses, their cash and their assets. Detective Superintendent Cook said many of those arrested were not the "usual criminal types". They lived in well-to-do areas, sent their children to top schools and were well dressed. They weren't the ones engaging in the petty low-level gun violence ( petty I. [usually before noun] not important and not worth worrying about. I'm not interested in their petty squabbles.

II. caring too much about money, possessions, and your position in society.) that has occurred through much of Sydney's west and south-west in the past two years, he said. Along with $155 million in illicit drugs, detectives from Strike Force Taipan have also sezied almost $2.3 million in assets - including an $800,000 high-performance speedboat from Northmead in Sydney's north-west. While the investigation began more than two years ago, 16 of the arrests have occured since March 1, since the establishment of the Organised Crime Squad. 粉丝模仿Rihanna的礼服: But while Carter's style earned her kudos at the dance, the reaction on social media was vastly different. Photos that Carter shared online became a viral sensation, with the hashtag #PromBat trending on Twitter. While Carter was dismayed by the negative reaction, what made it worse was that Rihanna also commented on the photos. "I was very offended," Alexis said about the star's tweets. "Why throw shade on it ( throw shade to talk trash about a friend or aquaintance, to publicly denounce or disrespect.

A flameout refers to the run-down of a jet engine caused by the extinction of the flame in the combustion chamber. ) after 'suicidal' gamble: It was billed as "suicide" and the "biggest risk we've ever seen in a MasterChef elimination" and it all backfired spectacularly for WA mum-of-four Nicole Cleave. The 56-year-old Qantas flight attendant blames a "brain meltdown大脑坏掉了, 大脑短路" for her decision to gamble her future in the cooking show on a single round in a three-round elimination cook-off. Given one snapper and warned it may need to stretch to three meals, Cleave decided to cook the entire fish in the first round in what she called "a moment of clarity – or insanity"(A moment of clarity 脑子突然清醒, 脑瓜一亮, 灵光乍现 is when you suddenly get a deep understanding of some truth by a mad rush of what has been called an epiphany or revelation.

"I thought 'My God this would be outrageous if I pulled this off, it would be amazing, it would be phenomenal' and all of a sudden I just thought: 'I'm going to do it'," she said. Cleave ignored the judges' warnings that she would have to put up a top-five dish in round one to secure her safety, or be left with nothing to cook. Cleave said MasterChef judge Gary Mehigan's "eyeballs came out on springs眼珠子弹出来了" when she dumped the whole fish in the wok炒锅. "Obviously Gary was thinking: 'This is suicide' and he really did try to stop me," she said. But the kamikaze gambit came back to bite the amateur cook. Cleave was automatically eliminated in an awkward judging moment when she was told the dish was not good enough to break into the top five, leaving her with nothing to cook. 夫妇空中开战Scoot flight from Sydney to Singapore diverted to Bali after couple's row: A COUPLE'S domestic dispute has forced a flight from Sydney to Singapore to make an unscheduled stop in Bali. The midair fight on Scoot flight TZ1 occurred between a husband and wife and left the woman with a suspected broken arm. The man was also injured in the altercation. A third passenger, who was drunk, was thrown off the plane after becoming abusive following the captain's decision to divert the flight to Bali so the woman could be given medical attention. "The captain offloaded the man because he was deemed to be a threat to the safety of the aircraft and passengers," Scoot said in a statement. The airline would not give any further information about the passengers involved, including their nationalities. It comes just weeks after Australian man Matt Lockley caused a hijack scare on a Virgin Australia flight from Brisbane to Bali. The 28-year-old plumber was arrested for banging on the cockpit door on the flight to Denpasar. He denied reports that he was drunk, telling police he had taken only Panadol, Voltaren and Coca Cola before the flight.
