Songbirds sing so loudly at dawn because theyre warming up, study finds – CNN

Researchers have found that when song sparrows chirp loudly outside your window in the wee hours of the morning, they're really just practicing. And like the best crooners, they sing better after they've had a chance to loosen their voice. A team from Duke University tested this hypothesis by measuring the vocal performance of 11 swamp sparrows, examining the vocal deviation in more than 1,500 songs recorded by the birds. What they found is that as the day goes on, the birds' vocal performance generally improved -- meaning they were able to produce more physically challenging songs. Still, males who produced a lot of songs had more variability in their vocal performance, which suggests that some birds might get tired when singing. As it turns out, vocal performance "has serious conse...

The latest on the coronavirus pandemic – CNN

Irish politics has been plunged into chaos after dozens of current and former politicians attended a parliamentary golf society dinner, allegedly in breach of the country's coronavirus social distancing rules. Ireland's national police force confirmed in a statement Friday that it was "investigating an event" held in the city of Galway on Wednesday evening that may have breached coronavirus-related health laws. Minister for Agriculture Dara Calleary has resigned, as has the vice chair of Ireland's upper house, Jerry Buttimer.  Irish Twitter users expressed their furor Saturday over the dinner using the hashtag #golfgate. The dinner was held by the parliamentary Oireachtas Golf Society at a hotel in Galway with more than 80 people listed as in attendance and with seating plans showing 10 p...

Segregated parks linked to higher COVID-19 deaths for Black and Latino Americans – USA TODAY

Raquetta Dotley looks out of her South Chattanooga apartment and sighs as she thinks about her small neighborhood park shoehorned in next to a cellulose plant and a biofuels factory that processes used grease and lard into animal feed.  Four miles away across the Tennessee River, however, lies the meticulously maintained Coolidge Park, with its stone paver walking paths, fountains and an antique carousel. One key difference between the two areas? Dotley's neighborhood is 90% Black, while the two neighborhoods encompassing Coolidge Park are 75% and 96.5% white, according to Census data. It's hard, Dotley says, to miss the message her community receives. "It draws a hard line, like we're not supposed to be over there because they didn't design that for us in the first place," said Dotley, 3...

Kanye West Misses Important Deadline, Bad News for Presidential Run – TMZ

Exclusive Kanye West may have missed another important deadline in his presidential run, and this one certainly suggests his campaign is on the rocks. Kanye, the presidential candidate, is required by FEC rules to file a financial report if he raises or spends $100k on his campaign. The filing deadline was August 20, but according to an FEC official ... the agency hasn't received it. So this means one of 2 things, and neither is good for Kanye -- either he missed the filing deadline or he didn't raise $100k ... and how do you run for Prez if you can't raise $100k? As we reported, Kanye really ramped up his campaign in late July after his off-the-rails rally in South Carolina, hiring...
