Who knew?

There is a reason puppies steal your heart from the moment you meet them. According to new research, puppies are practically born ready to interact with people. "Puppies will look at and return a person's social gaze and successfully use information given by that person in a social context from a very young age, all prior to any extensive experience with people," says Emily Bray, the lead author of the study. Bray and her team evaluated 375 puppies that were all about 8 weeks old on a battery of social-cognitive measures, like eye contact and following physical cues. Bray has been studying guide dog development for the last decade, and hopes this kind of research will help groups successfully select and train these crucial companions

 

 
 


•  A 8-minute video, cicadas , here.

Memory: I was in Tokyo in the summer of 1980 and the cicadas were so loud we couldn't talk to each other until we went inside or farther away.

Reading your memories about the noise cicadas produce made me watch the video which was quite interesting. You know in Greece the cicadas are also as loud as you described it. I love this noise, maybe because it means holidays, warm and good days. Here in Austria we have some insects which produce a similar but much lower sound. You can hear that only on warm summer evenings with bright weather and - you can guess - I also love. To me it says everything is fine, everything is going to be all right.
Wishing you the best for your left shoulder!

Thanks, Elenor. I haven't heard them here, but I think in Indiana and the mid-west, they do. Hpping your weather meets your desires.
