Brave moment vets risk their lives to help a distressed elephant injured by a poacher's snare in Uganda

A brave team of veterinarians risked their lives to rescue an elephant with an infected wound crawling with maggots in Uganda.

Wildlife film producer, Verity White and her team were filming the darting of a giraffe with the Uganda Wildlife Authority Vet Team in Murchison Falls National Park, when they came across the limping elephant.

Verity said: 'The elephant had previously had a snare removed from its leg but infection had set in, she was very weak and needed further treatment from the veterinary team.'

The elephant lies down in pain, before the team of vets could get to it. But the huge animal had to be moved to safety

The elephant had previously been freed from a poacher's snare but the wound it was left with became infected

The Uganda Conservation Foundation had recently provided a dedicated veterinary vehicle to the Uganda Wildlife Authority in Murchison Falls as part of measure to tackle the poaching problem.

Verity, 37, said: 'They were finding a lot of animals injured by poacher's snares, but were unable to respond quickly and effectively over the massive park without a vehicle.'

Verity, a film producer working in Uganda at the moment, said the team had come across lots of animals caught in snares but couldn't get to them all without the vehicle

Mike Keigwin, the foundation leader, risked his life by heading out on foot in an attempt to try and move the elephant into a safe location

The young female elephant, thought to be in her twenties, had previously had a snare removed from her leg, but infection had set in and she was in desperate need for further treatment – with the infected wound filled with maggots.

The Bristol-based producer said: 'The elephant had it's hind foot caught in a snare, the snare had tightened, cutting into the flesh inches deep, the wound had become badly infected and was crawling with maggots.'

The elephant was originally located in a dangerous position near water and Mike Keigwin, the foundation leader, risked his life by heading out on foot in an attempt to try and move the elephant into a safe location.

Verity said: 'The elephant was scared and reluctant to move, but they bravely moved towards her as a group, waving branches and even using smoke to try and scare her out of the wet valley.

'Being so close to an injured elephant on foot is extremely dangerous and the rangers were very brave to do so.'

The rescue took a team of 15 people in total to safely dart the elephant and clean the wound.

Verity explained: 'Being so close to an injured elephant on foot is extremely dangerous and the rangers were very brave to do so.'

The team had to get the elephant to safety before it could help. Above, the infected wound the elephant sustained

She said: 'The elephants trunk was held open to help it breathe and it's heart rate was monitored by a dedicated ranger.

'We poured water on the elephant to keep it cool and worked as fast as possible. A dedicated ranger also monitored her heart rate.'

Fortunately, for the team and the young elephant, the operation was successful and she was able to find and rejoin her herd by communicating using seismic rumbles.

By Allan Hall In Berlin for MailOnline


A woman who tied her lover to a bed and then killed him with a circular saw has been caged for 12-and-a-half years in Germany for manslaughter.

Prosecutors had wanted Gabriele P to be imprisoned for life for murder.

Munich State Court heard how nearly a decade ago, in the winter of 2008, Gabriele P and Alex H were having sex at home in their apartment in Munich.


The duo went in for kinky bedroom games during which Alex H, 28, donned diving goggles covered with masking tape which prevented him from seeing anything, prosecutors said.

Munich student Alexander H., 28, (left) suddenly disappeared in December 2008. His body was found in the garden of the house, where he had lived together with his girlfriend Gabriele P (right) until his disappearance

But lover Gabriele, now 32, then reached for the DIY gadget which she used to kill him and then slice off his head.

The killing took place in a student flat in the Haar district of the Bavarian capital. His murder only came to light in early 2016 when an acquaintance of the suspect heard about the incident and alerted the police.

Police say Gabriele imprisoned Alexander in the loft of the home they shared when she 'tired' of him in 2008.

In the nine years they had been together literature student Alexander and trainee teacher Gabriele threw wild sex parties in the house she had inherited from her grandmother.

She denies being the instigator of uninhibited group-sex romps in the building neighbours branded the 'Hippy House' and that she hatched the plot to murder him when she fell in love with someone else.

One night in 2008, according to prosecutors, 'the relationship ended in a bloodbath' in the house in Zunftstrasse.

While her partner was tied up, Gabriele, now 32, reached for the DIY gadget which she used to kill him and then slice off his head

Using the saw she murdered him and - months later - with the help of her new lover Christian K., 33, she cut him up and wrapped the body parts in plastic and buried him in the garden of the house.

Prosecutor Thomas Steinkraus-Koch said: 'She wanted to be rid of him. We assume the man was in a state where he could not defend himself and where he could not know that he would be killed with a circular saw.'

It is alleged she ripped open his chest with the blade and then decapitated him. Steinkraus-Koch added: 'The accused has given information enhancing the action sequence of events that lead us to believe what happened wasn't an accident.'

Police say that shortly after the chainsaw killing, Gabriele called Thea E., now 62, the mother of her murdered lover, claiming he had 'gone off to Rumania with another girl.'

Thea said: 'I remember he laughing down the telephone and I spent the last years looking for him there.'

But Gabriele's downfall came through her new partner who, after drinking at a party, made comments about what really happened to others.

He said he only helped her bury the body parts after discovering them accidentally in the loft.

The friends he spoke to went to the police with their suspicions and the house was raided in January this year. The dismembered body was dug up - but only bones remained.

Forensic medicine specialists were able to determine that the victim had been cut up alive with the saw.

Gabriele's defence at her murder trial will be that she was in an abusive relationship. Her lawyer said: 'The relationship was very difficult. My client could not see any way out.'

Christian K. has already been jailed for two years and eight months for his role in disposing of the body. 'I did it out of love for Gabriele,' he told the court at his sentencing six months ago.

Gabi P. admitted the killing saying she lived in fear of her partner.

GE-14 is for Pakatan Harapan to lose

Do not make sense in having Anwar as a PM designate as Mahathir is a more formidable candidate and can pull in the necessary votes for PH

PAKATAN Harapan is confident it can capture a sizeable number of Barisan Nasional’s 31 slim-majority seats in GE14.

PH strategists say they will employ big data analyses and targeted messaging when they face BN in the polls.

Amanah strategist Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad said PH aims to broaden its messaging channels to include pro-government voters.

“We have to explain to these voters that they only have two choices – allow Umno-BN to continue their rule or vote for PH to end Prime Minister Najib Razak’s poor administration,” Dzulkefly told The Malaysian Insight today.

“Voting a third party will just hand Najib, Umno and BN victory. We have to emphasise this message in the face of possible three-cornered fights.”
The former Kuala Selangor MP said PH needs to focus its message towards Malay voters and reassure them that their future is secure even if BN loses in GE14.

“Malay-Muslim voters need to be reassured that their political and economic positions are secure and can be better once a corrupt Malay leadership is ended,” Dzulkefly said.

The Malaysian Insight reported today that BN strategists are analysing and planning their election strategies for 31 marginal parliamentary seats.

The seats in danger zones include Bagan Datoh, Padang Rengas, Teluk Intan, Jerai, Kuala Selangor, Titiwangsa, Bentong, Labis, Pasir Gudang and Pulai which were won by BN’s senior leaders.

There are another 60 high-risk state assembly seats.

Three-cornered simulations 

Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia’s Dr Rais Hussin said his party has already begun doing three-cornered simulations in 27 parliamentary seats.

“The most important factor is for PH to show that it’s a credible alternative and can offer policies that are in line with what voters want. This has to be communicated in simple language,” said the Bersatu bureau of strategy and policy chief.

“If we use the right tactical approach and specific strategies on BN’s marginal seats, nothing is impossible,” said Rais.

Rais said the main concern of Malaysians today is the weak economy.

“We are currently doing three more ‘What Malaysians Want’ surveys to see how we can be more focused in our campaign later,” he added.

More high-risk seats for BN 

According to PKR strategy director Sim Tze Tzin, BN may have more high-risk seats following the current weak economy, high cost of living, GST and Najib’s leadership.

Although BN won during GE13, seats such as Segamat, Bagan Serai, Kulim Bandar Baru and Johor Bahru are no longer safe for the coalition anymore.

The Bayan Baru MP said 81 parliamentary seats were won with less thanr 10% majority in GE13.

“During GE13, BN took 51 seats while the opposition took 30 marginal seats. These seats could decide the winner in GE14,’’ said Sim.

“I’m confident that PH can attract voters with its manifesto and good track record in the states we’ve governed,” he added.

Sim said PH needs to focus on employing technology and big data analyses if it wants to win in GE14.

“History has shown that the one who can control technology will have an advantage.

“During GE12, emails were employed while GE13 saw the use of Facebook and social media during campaigns.”

DAP director of election strategy Dr Ong Kian Ming agreed with his PKR counterpart on the use of big data analyses.

“Big data is one of the new political tools that will play an important role in GE14.

“PH will use big data to understand voters better to ensure the right message reaches them.”

However, the Serdang MP said the danger PAS poses as a disruptor cannot be denied.

“PH’s challenge is to give a clear message to the voters that a vote for anything other than PH is a vote for BN and hence status quo,” said Ong.

Scientists Have a New Explanation for How Life Could Have Evolved on Earth

Evolution is one of the important parts of the biological science and the life we are living now is all because of the evolution. But the thing is after hundreds of years of study scientists are still not sure on how exactly life started on the planet earth. There is always new hypotheses are coming and few of them really can't be ignored.

Scientists have done a new research on how life kicked off on the earth. It actually seems that the life has started from complex biochemical compositions.

Now scientists are trying to figure out if there was any kind of life before the formation of the nucleic acid. Phosphate which is an essential component of the Nucleic acid is essential to build the life. But scientists have found an evidence of primitive biochemistry which can be useful when it comes to building lives. This discovery also made few scientists say that metabolism came before life.

Scientists from universities like MIT and Boston Universities have found that phosphate is not necessary for metabolism as there are some other ways to get metabolism. If scientists are able to find all different ways which can help in metabolism the mystery of life will be a lot clearer.

Life is basically based on complex organic chemistry. The organic chemistry code which can replicate on its own a form the simplest form of life. The organic chemistry code of the simplest form of the life it is not so complex. But when the replication happens it forms a very complex code and thus the much-improved form of life forms.

When a chemical code forms Rybo Nucleic Acid (RNA) it gets the power of replication. But when replication happens due to RNA it consumes a fair bit of energy. Simultaneously, RNA molecules also include phosphate which plays an important role in metabolism.

The recent search also proves that it is not the phosphate from where the life actually kicked on. There is a huge possibility that life actually started from biochemical compositions.

Cybersecurity Experts See Matches Between ‘WannaCry Ransomware’ Attack, North Korea Hacks

The "WannaCry Ransomware" threat has caused big problems in most offices and organizations in some countries in the past week. But lately, some cyber security experts were able to determine the origin of this and they said that this is the same with the North Korea hack.

Reports were rife that the said virus affected the transactions and operations of most businesses and institutions like hospitals and even government agencies. The "WannaCry Ransomware" threat hit last Friday and some said that the target continents were Europe and Asia.

According to The Washington Post, a group of hackers was behind the "WannaCry Ransomware" and they worked by hiding and getting all the files of one person from his computer. That person can only retrieve the files by getting the encryption key from the group. However, the person needs to pay a required amount in exchange for the encryption key.

WannaCry Ransomware Used In Global Attacks!

As this started infecting computers the previous week, some said that the target continents were Europe and Asia. Last Monday, the start of the working week, employees were already worried that the virus had infected the files in their offices. However, before the spread of this threat, some cyber security experts were quick to detect the origin as well as the composition of the "WannaCry Ransomware".

With that, Los Angeles Times reported that when they checked the origin, they likewise claimed that some of the codes that were used to develop this were the same codes that were utilized with Sony Pictures hack. Due to this conclusion, it was also reported that the hackers were somewhat connected to North Korea.

It can be recalled that with the spread of the "WannaCry Ransomware" virus North Korea is currently experiencing tension because of its missile testing-launch. Some countries, most especially the U.S. has been devising ways on how to stop the country from its nuclear testing programs.

Meanwhile, an IT expert, Marcus Hutchins from the UK was able to beat the attack of the "WannaCry Ransomware". Further, the IT genius also shared that people need to prepare for the second virus which might be more dangerous than this.
