WHERE THE WILD THINGS ROAM

When I sat down with Iain Douglas-Hamilton at his home in Nairobi to learn how he went from deploying the first radio collars on elephants in 1968 to deploying the first GPS collars on them in 1995, he told me about an elephant named Parsitau.
CHEAP THRILLS

Compared to the carbon-fibre-wrapped shortboards currently championed by surf shops and ridden in high-level competition, the Wavestorm moves more like a school bus. But it is very good at catching waves. Maybe too good.
LISTEN UP, SHEEPLE

In talking to other handlers and listening not just to the lexicon of commands they used but how, and how the dogs responded, a linguist realized: These aren’t just orders. In fact, those whistles sounded a whole lot like a language.

There's a telling photo that has gotten some attention in social media after Steve Bannon's exit as President Trump's chief strategist. (You can see it above.) It shows President Trump behind the desk in the Oval Office, surrounded by his top advisers – seated are Vice President Pence and national security adviser Mike Flynn; standing, from left to right are Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, chief strategist Steve Bannon and press secretary Sean Spicer. That was Jan. 28, eight days after Trump was inaugurated. Today, only Pence remains. (NBC Nightly News modified the photo in a graphic that ma...

Spanish authorities say they have dismantled a mostly Moroccan-born terror cell believed responsible for vehicle attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils that killed 14 people and hurt more than 100 others. But a manhunt continues for the alleged driver of a van used in the main attack on pedestrians on Thursday. Two other suspects are believed still at large. "The cell has been completely dismantled in Barcelona," Spain's Interior Minister Juan Ignacio Zoido said at a news conference on Saturday. Officials are continuing to hunt for 22-year-old Moroccan national Younes Abouyaaqoub, who police now...

La contraddizione, anche senza scomodare Hegel, è rivelatrice di una realtà in modo più significativo di una banale coerenza. Questa osservazione, che la comune esperienza di vita insegna meglio di qualunque teoria filosofica, si potrebbe davvero applicare alla contemporanea comparsa di due notizie. La prima riguarda l’accentuarsi, in agosto, di quella tendenza a una forte diminuzione di sbarchi d’immigrati sul nostro territorio. Se a luglio, infatti, era calata di oltre il 50 per cento rispetto all’anno scorso, i dati delle prime due settimane del mese indicano che il fenomeno non solo sem...

roma Se abbiamo il mercato del lavoro che abbiamo tanto (non tutto) dipende anche dalle dimensioni delle politiche attive e passive costruite e finanziate prima e durante la lunga crisi economica.

After years of rising sales, UK car dealers sense a chill in the air. Five years of sales growth have come to a halt and the number of people buying new cars is starting to slip. “We’re going into choppier waters,” said Andy Bruce, chief executive of Lookers, the UK’s largest dealership. The company’s shares dropped as much as 10 per cent this week after it downgraded its outlook for new car sales in Britain this year. UK car dealers have thrived in the good years but since April, monthly sales figures have been shrinking. So far, this is their longest downwards streak since 2011 and it is ...

Beware acronyms. They spell death for a great investment idea. In 2012, we saw the publication of Swag: Alternative Investments for the Coming Decade, by a UK former hedge fund manager, Joe Roseman. The acronym stood for Silver, Wine, Art and Gold, a collection of four investments that were linked, he said, by their scarcity. There is only so much gold and silver in the ground; fine art’s supply is limited by the mortality of great artists, and any vintage of fine wine is finite and becomes scarcer as people drink it. Swag was thus the ideal acronym for those who feared inflation, or a feck...

Foot Locker sent fresh tremors through the once high-flying world of sports apparel retailing on Friday after the US footwear chain reported an unexpectedly sharp slump in sales and profits and sounded the alarm over the “significant” disruptions the sector is facing. Shares in Foot Locker tumbled more than 27 per cent, slicing some $1.7bn of the company’s market value. The decline is the stock’s biggest one day drop since 2008 and comes after the company reported its first drop in like-for-like sales in nearly eight years. Like many of its peers in the sportswear sector, Foot Locker had un...

Thursday’s terrorist attack in Barcelona bore an obvious resemblance to atrocities over the past two years in Belgium, France, Germany, Sweden and the UK. Nevertheless, there are distinctive Spanish and north African dimensions to this latest case. Hours after the Barcelona attack, Isis, the militant Islamist organisation, sought to take the credit. In some instances, however, Isis has made unfounded claims of responsibility. Caution is essential before jumping to conclusions about a supposed internationally masterminded outrage in one of Europe’s best-loved cities. This was the lesson from...

US regulators have dropped their investigation into two former JPMorgan Chase traders accused of falsifying the bank’s books to hide its $6.2bn “London whale” losses. The Securities and Exchange Commission said in a court filing on Friday that it would end its probe into alleged mismarking by Javier Martín-Artajo and Julien Grout in 2012. The Spaniard and the French national had both worked for the bank in London with the trader dubbed the Whale, and both had successfully fought extradition to the US. JPMorgan paid a total of $1bn in fines in 2013 to authorities in the UK and the US over th...

Jakarta street fighter Ajo Kawir has one big problem. Or, you might say, one little one. He is impotent. It’s spelt out in the second sentence of Eka Kurniawan’s novel and expounded regularly over the following pages. It wasn’t always so; as a boy he enjoyed peeping at the local madwoman, Scarlet Blush, through her window. Her husband was executed by police before her eyes, and is buried in an unmarked grave in her garden. But young Ajo and his best friend Gecko don’t care about that; they have discovered they can spy on her in the shower. One night two policemen arrive on a motorbike and e...

MILANO (Reuters) - Gedi - Gruppo Editoriale ha venduto Fantacalcio.it alla società napoletana Quadronica Srl. E' quanto si evince dalla pagina web del gioco dedicato al calcio. L'operazione è confermata da un portavoce della società editoriale e dall'amministratore di Quadronica. L'Espresso, attraverso Kataweb, aveva acquistato Studio Vit Srl, società titolare del marchio "Fantacalcio.it", nel gennaio 2000. Sino a due giorni fa la pagina del gioco annunciava il varo della stagione 2017/2018 "dal 14 agosto", ma alla data prestabilita non si poteva accedere ad alcuna pagina nuova. Ieri, poi, ...

MILANO, 18 agosto (Reuters) - Chiusura poco mossa per il mercato obbligazionario italiano, che nel pomeriggio ha perso slancio rispetto alla prima parte di una seduta in cui ha comunque sottoperformato la carta tedesca, tra volumi sottili, tipici della settimana di Ferragosto. ** Intorno alle 17,20 il tasso del decennale italiano di riferimento si attesta 2,027% da 2,026% del finale di seduta di ieri, dopo essere sceso in mattinata in area 2,01%. ** Lo spread con l'analoga scadenza del Bund sale leggermente a 162 punti base da 160 punti base di ieri sera, con un picco intraday a 163 pb. ** ...

La ‘febbre’ da eclissi solare ha contagiato gli Stati Uniti dove si attende con ansia il 21 agosto quando per milioni di persone il cielo si oscurerà e il giorno – per pochi minuti – diventerà notte. Un eclissi solare totale eccezionale interesserà tutto il Paese, attraversandolo da costa a costa. Scienziati e appassionati sono al lavoro da anni per prepararsi all’evento ma per tutti gli altri, il Washington Post ha preparato un vademecum delle cose da sapere e quelle da fare o non fare per aiutare a non farsi cogliere impreparati. Cosa succede? Un'eclissi solare totale avviene quando la lu...

Dopo l'attentato di Barcellona, in cui un furgone ha travolto la folla che passeggiava sulla Rambla nel pomeriggio di giovedì 17 agosto, tra i dispersi c'era un bambino australiano di 7 anni, Julian Cadman. Il bambino era proprio sul luogo della strage, poiché passeggiava sulla nota strada di Barcellona con la madre. La donna è stata ricoverata in ospedale in gravi condizioni, ma le sue condizioni si sono stabilizzate e non correrebbe pericolo di vita. È stato quindi il nonno, Tony Cadman, a dare l'allarme attraverso Facebook, su cui ha postato la foto di Julian chiedendo notizie a chi lo a...
