VERY DISTURBING | Mass grave of up to 800 children found underground in Ireland


at a former home for unmarried mothers and their babies in Ireland

A "significant" quantity of human remains has been discovered in "underground chambers" at a former home for unmarried mothers and their babies in Ireland.

A commission set up to investigate alleged abuse at religious-run so-called mother and baby homes has been carrying out an excavation at the former Catholic Church institution in Tuam, Co Galway.

the discovery of "significant quantities of human remains" in at least 17 of 20 underground chambers being excavated in recent weeks.

"These remains involved a number of individuals with age-at-death ranges from approximately 35 foetal weeks to 2-3 years.

"Radiocarbon dating of the samples recovered suggest that the remains date from the time frame relevant to the operation of the mother and baby home."

The Tuam home operated from 1925 to 1961.

Meanwhile, the commission has asked that the relevant State authorities take responsibility for the appropriate treatment of the remains."

"It was not unexpected as there were claims about human remains on the site over the last number of years," she said.

"Up to now we had rumours. Now we have confirmation that the remains are there, and that they date back to the time of the mother and baby home, which operated in Tuam from 1925 to 1961."

When they arrived at the beach and found that the waters of the sea far from the beach and looked rocks in the sea and spiked the swamps of mud and slime, stuck committees scared but he found an ask: Why I went sea water away from the beach, my grandfather? Also, when will again?

White boy haircut as black friend 'to confuse his pre-school teacher

White boy haircut as black friend 'to confuse his pre-school teacher'


A little boy from Louisville, Kentucky, is warming everyone's heart with his "haircut prank."

The boy's mom, Lydia Rosebush, posted on Facebook that her almost 5-year-old son Jax wanted to get his head shaved really close so he could look identical to his best friend, Reddy Weldon.

This morning Jax and I were discussing his wild hair. I told him that he needed a haircut this weekend. He said that he wanted his head shaved really short so he could look like his friend Reddy. He said He said that he wanted his head shaved really short so he could look like his friend Reddy," she continued. "He said he couldn't wait to go to school on Monday with his hair like Reddy's so that his teacher wouldn't be able to tell them apart. He thought it would be so hilarious to confuse his teacher with the same haircut."

Although there is an obvious difference between the two preschoolers, Rosebush said it shows that "hate and prejudice is something that is taught."

According to her, the only difference Jax sees between him and his best friend is their hair

Jax thought his new 'do would trick his teacher and she wouldn't be able to tell the boys apart, although Jax is white and Reddy is black.

Turkeys Circling A Dead Cat Are Probably Wary / walk in a circle

Turkeys Circling A Dead Cat Are Probably Wary

/ walk in a circle


More than 15 turkeys walk in a circle  not running or distressed, but walking with intention  around a dead cat in the middle of the road.

Boston Magazine called "Massachusetts' foremost turkey expert," who said it was possible that the birds were trailing behind one animal who set out to investigate the corpse, and then wound up  follow-the-leader style  in a perfect circle.

Biologist Alan Krakauer, an expert on the behavioral ecology of birds, offers an explanation that ascribes a little more intention to the birds. He tells NPR it's "most likely  predator inspection behavior."

He explains that turkeys, when faced with an animal that might eat them, sometimes follow the risky route of actually approaching the predator. It can help signal to other turkeys in the area that there's a threat, or help the turkeys evaluate how big of a danger the predator is.

"Or it could let the predator know the prey are aware of its presence, which might encourage the predator to move elsewhere to seek an easier meal, he says a lot like a group of small songbirds mobbing a hawk or owl they have discovered."

Or, you know, it could backfire  if the predator is a little more  conscious than the cat in the video.

Krakauerhe says

"During my studies of wild turkeys I watched a coyote trot through a group of turkeys  the turkeys gave it some space but acted alert in a similar manner to this video. In that instance the coyote kept walking and the turkeys went back to their business.
"However, in this video, the dead cat 'predator' doesn't get up to leave, and the turkeys appear to be kind of stuck in their pattern of behavior. Maybe they are waiting to see if the cat wakes up?
That is, waiting to see if the dead rise, instead of ritually working to raise the dead.

Either way, we can all agree it would be alarming for turkeys and humans alike if that cat sprang up.

Australian Navy to pass over warship's grave 75 years after sinking





Australian Navy to pass over warship's grave 75 years after sinking





An Australian Navy patrol ship has passed over one of Australia's most significant World War II battle grounds in the ocean off Java.



In a solemn event without great fanfare, those on board paused to remember a day 75 years ago when Australia's pride warship succumbed to the Japanese.



They paid tribute to 681 sailors who were on board HMAS Perth, which was sunk by the Japanese on the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra on March 1, 1942.

In waters to Jakarta's west, they remembered those who lost their lives at the time of the sinking and later in prisoner of war camps.



A total of 218 managed to return to home soil all with stories of remarkable survival.



In December last year, the museum and Indonesia's research centre for archaeology undertook a sonar survey of the wreckage, showing the site had significantly deteriorated since 1967.



It is thought illegal salvagers have extensively damaged HMAS Perth for scrap metal.



He said once the divers assess what remains, the focus can shift to the protection of the ship.



He said the Indonesian Navy had already begun patrolling the site.



During Indonesian President Joko Widodo's visit to Australia last week, both nations agreed to strengthen cooperation in the area of maritime cultural heritage.
