Gorillas are often asked whether or not they travel along an invisible line above the trees, yet this is simply not the case; gorillas spend most of their time both on the ground and in trees. Adult male mountain gorillas known as silverbacks will sometimes climb fruit trees to collect leaves and fruit; this must only go up as far as their weight allows; unfortunately some have even lost their lives while climbing to get food; an example being Bitukura Silverback Ndahura who died while doing just this last December in Bitukura silverback Ndahura who tragically perished while climbing up fruit tree to retrieve leaves and fruit – an example that serves as a stark warning of this inherent risk in nature. These herbivorous mammals consume stems, bamboo shoots, fruits and invertebrates as dietary staples; their diet also includes bark roots and invertebrates. They spend approximately half their day foraging…

Airlines require parents or guardians of minors traveling alone to fill out a release form prior to travel, which identifies who will drop off and collect them at the airport. Furthermore, both guardians must present government-issued photo ID; without this document airlines won’t permit children onto flights. It is essential that you obtain this documentation prior to submitting your request for travel. Start off by knowing that airlines impose an unaccompanied minor fee, typically between $50 and $150 depending on your airline of choice. This fee will be added onto the total cost of your flight – to find it, enter the child in your booking form and view its payment breakdown. If you are traveling with an Unaccompanied Minor on United, check-in online or by contacting their contact center. When your UM arrives at the airport, a representative will accompany them through security to their gate before remaining with…

But will The Merge truly quiet crypto haters? Unfortunately not. It is impossible to know exactly how The Merge will impact prices given that many cryptocurrencies remain in bear market conditions and therefore anything could go wrong – yet many anticipate that it may provide Ethereum currency (ETH) with a boost, at least temporarily. Proof of stake could help the Ethereum blockchain attract new investors. Proof of stake involves using a computer program that gives holders of cryptocurrency an incentive to maintain the system – unlike proof of work which requires competing with other computers to solve complex math puzzles and burn energy, proof of stake rewards those who invest their ETH by offering them a percentage of fees charged when other transactions occur. Some analysts believe it may help maintain Ethereum security over time. After years of massive losses and regulatory scrutiny, crypto could use some good news, and…

Garment production generates vast amounts of waste, with materials no longer considered fashionable or in good condition being disposed of after they become no longer desirable. This contributes to climate change as it degrades soil and water worldwide – the clothing industry accounts for an estimated 10% of global carbon dioxide emissions! Alongside unsafe working conditions, garment workers often do not receive adequate maternity or sick leave to care for their families when they become ill or injured, and are prevented from forming unions due to government laws and export zone restrictions that prohibit them from voicing their own interests. The 2013 Rana Plaza factory collapse brought these exploitation issues into public view but progress has been slow and limited since that time. As you peruse the latest spring styles at your favorite retailers, take a moment to remember those behind these garments: their makers. Many work in dangerous conditions…

Many work in dangerous conditions for low wages without regard for basic human rights; this industry also creates considerable environmental degradation and waste pollution that affects women disproportionately compared to men. Exploitation of garment workers is one of the many consequences of fast fashion business models that have become common in fashion industry. Companies aim to produce new styles quickly to capitalize on consumer demand; offering trendy looks at an affordable price can only be done with cheap labor and cutting corners in production. Developing nations offer…

Though often disregarded as confusing and unpredictable, Boston’s MBTA (commonly referred to locally as “the T”) can be an efficient and convenient means of transportation. Just remember that it is an old system – often noisy with loud screeching noises or sudden stops and starts. The Red Line begins its journey at Alewife station in North Cambridge and travels south through Somerville and Harvard before reaching Porter Square, Central Station, Kendall Square (MIT campus) Charles Street-MGH hospital and finally JFK/U Mass in Downtown Boston where it splits into two separate rail lines – Ashmont Branch which continues southwest towards Dorchester while Braintree Branch travels southwest via Quincy and Braintree.
