Cats can recognize owners voice

Cats are amazing animals and can distinguish thier owners voice from strangers.  Most of cat owners talk to their pupils and they hear us, they rotate ears.  When cats hear a familiar voice, the felines respond in subtle but distinct ways, like swishing their tails, pivoting their ears and freezing while grooming. They show no such response when owners were speaking to other people. Same thing when they heard strangers’ voices. This study is the first to show that cats can recognize and respond to their owners’ voices. That shows presence of communication between cats and their owners.  Another thing is that cats are attentive to the different ways we speak to them. This shows how important we are to them, not only for just feeding them or giving them place to sleep.  Cats are willing to listen to their owners and actually can recognize tones in our voice. Its helpful to know that and talk to our cats more.   https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/yo...

Brown noise

Word "brown" in brown noise is not a colour, its reference to sound that mimics Brownian motion. It was discovered by Robert Brown in 1827. It is similar to staticky white noise, which create a masking effect and blocks out many things around. Brown noise is pleasant to listen because most of distractions are removed by higher frequences. People use it while having sleeping problems or when they cant focus. This sound makes it easier to get work done and keeps mind in peace. It also really helps maintaning a deep sleep and relaxes. Brown noise can comfort people with ADHD, as they say they have no thoughts while listening. This sound blocks out other sounds and cleares mind. Many says it comforting and curing noise.

Melting mountain peaks

Mont Blanc Massif is fundamentally chaging due to climate change, along with mountains worldwide. Temperatures in mountainous regions have risen up to 50 percent faster than the global average. For mountains even 10 celsius is sweltering. On Dolomites, from Marmolada glacier a huge section broke off. Ice and debris thundered down. There were eleven people that never made it home. This tragedy shows how dangerous are mountains even if they are really beautiful. Now global warming is proceeding, scientists say that scale of risk of natural disasters in the mountains changed completely. Risk is definetly higher now. People from villages in the foothills know they are not safe bacouse of mountains conditions. Mountains will become more and more dangerous for us, they can lead floods caused by glacierrs falling apart. I think a mountain collapsing is dangerous for people nearby and higher temperatures will facilitate such tragedies.
