China’s latest gold-mining drive in Kham Zachukha has exposed a ruthless campaign to dispossess Tibetans of their sacred land and silence dissent through force and fear. Aggressive mining at Serkhok (“Gold Valley”) has cut into a traditional grazing ground and spiritually revered landscape, while peaceful protests have been met with raids, torture, enforced disappearances and a sweeping communications blackout.

A Redditor just reported that he became a victim of such an incident after he placed an order for a Corsair pre-built system two days ago.

Three species of the melodic African warbler bird refuse to get up early and sing their customary daybreak songs when the weather is cold. This new discovery was made recently by a team of soundscape ecologists in South Africa’s mountainous Golden Gate Highlands National Park. The team’s research co-leader, Mosikidi Toka, studies how animals and the environment make and use sounds, especially in mountains, and is currently completing a PhD on the sounds of natural habitats. He deployed automated audio recorders to record the birdsong and find out how the birds were affected by freezing temperatures.
