Elephans
Cameras have revealed how elephants are able to get a drink of fresh water when faced with a stagnant waterhole.
A BBC team discovered that the tusked giants use their trunks to delicately siphon off clean liquid that has settled at the top of the dirty pool.
The Natural History Unit says this is the first time this behaviour has been seen.
The footage forms part of Nature's Great Events: The Great Flood, which follows the annual flooding of Botswana's Okavango Delta.

Dorian Gray
"When we are happy, we are always good. But when we are good, we are not always happy"
"I wish the picture could change, I could stay as I am"
"And there's nothing more important, more valuable than beauty"
I agree with the first sentence because live is very imprevisible, always when we are happy we see the things with a good point of view. Why? Because the psicology of the humans are very imprevisible. Always the happiness pass when the things are going good, or sometimes are going bad, but are good for you. But sometimes when the things are going good, we are not happy, because we feel disapointed with something and we feel sad because our feelings are changing or we need some support for the live. for example: One football player can be very rich and win all, but maybe he needs the support of love, with some girl.

Human Rights
Since the humanity exists, we have always had political survival and coexistence laws. That's natural for humans. But thats evidence if we see animals how they organitzate and how they live. For example if we look heards of lions, we can see that only there are one or two mascles lions, why? because they have fight and the winner have the right to posses this territory and the females. That is an example of
hte jerarqy of the strongest one, but these rights are respected by animals and they accept these things, because since the weakest lion, can win and get the power of the heard.
Why is the winer who posses these things? I think that there are some natural rights in every specie. For that reason, humans have some rights that for example are, every human have the right to have posesions. That means that Humans have some natural rights that are created by the nature, or the live has created them to have a coexistence. For example another right, but thats more important that the normal rights, are the recognition of the other individues. Thats very important because without this law, the rights can exists.
The human rights have been created by humans because they need this recognition, but they need more, they need more things to be in the planet, WE need more rights because our behaviour is very cruel and bad. For that reason every human have the same rights, why? To get survive to other humans, because everyone is bad. If we respect the rights, humans are FREE in some aspects, but they aren't free to disobey the rights. That's a little contradiction, because I think that the human rights are created specially to get free in humanity and not be slaves to other humans.
My conclusion is that human rights have been done for the unique aim to get respect and freedom againts humans, because is the only danger in the nature which can ocasionate more problems to humans.

3 NEW: Could the humble worm hold the key to wiping out allergies and a whole lot of disorders of the immune system?
Researchers in Nottingham are investigating whether giving hook worms to asthma sufferers can cure their condition. Another group in the US is trying a pig worm on patients with ulcerative colitis or inflammation of the colon and bowel.
And scientists in Cambridge have proved that giving an extract of the tropical worm which causes bilharzia to mice can stop them developing type 1 diabetes.
The theory behind all this is that worms and other organisms, through our evolutionary history, developed a role in driving our immune systems.
