In 2019, Brad Paisley & his wife had broken ground on a free grocery store that would allow residents of Nashville dealing with food insecurity to 'shop' with dignity and variety. Outside of food, theres also household essentials like deodorant & toothbrushes. Its called The Store and they also offer other services like counseling, financial planning, cooking classes & more. Now, 5 years later, hes looking to open a second one in North Nashville.
Three 11-year-old girls are being called heroes as they helped save a 6-year-old girl from an attempted kidnapping in Kent, Washington. Witnesses told the police that an ice cream truck had entered an apartment complex which caused many kids to come outside. The three girls were walking towards the truck when they noticed a man holding the young girl's wrist. Witnesses also said that the girl's brother was nearby and tried to call her over, but the man was forcibly pulling her away. They could hear the young girl telling the man to let her go. Without hesitation, the three girls approached the man and told him to let the girl go. They took out their phones and started to record the incident. The three girls asked the man if he knew the girl and he said yes but the girl was shaking her head signaling that he was lying. "At this point he put the victim down on the ground and they grabbed her away from the suspect, who then fled on foot. They took her back to the safety of her apartment," Kent police said. "The parents later confirmed that the suspect was a stranger." Thanks to the 3 girls intervention, the 6 year old is safe at home with her family. The Kent Police Department expressed their admiration for the 3 heroes in a public statement. This image is a stock image and not directly related to this story.
The research "not only shows that elephants use specific vocalizations for each individual, but that they recognize and react to a call addressed to them while ignoring those addressed to others", the lead study author, Michael Pardo, said. This new study suggests that elephants & humans are the only two animals known to invent "arbitrary" names for each other, rather than just copying the sound of the recipient.
