High tech farms are no longer unusual in Singapore. In fact they have been sprouting up like mushrooms over the past five years. While many of the innovative farms in the city state still have to become profitable, a vertical shrimp farm has achieved price parity with coastal aquaculture ponds in Indonesia or Vietnam. This is thanks to an AI operated system which controls day to day operations.

Researchers Use Machine Learning , to Understand How , Elephants Communicate.
'BGR' reports that communication
among elephants may be more complex
than scientists previously believed.
New evidence suggests that elephants
possess unique names which are
used to address specific elephants.
The study, made possible with the help
of machine learning, was published in
the journal 'Nature Ecology and Evolution.'.
Machine learning was used to help researchers
analyze hundreds of wild elephant calls,
searching for three specific "rumbles.".
These rumbles, which include a greeting, a caregiving
gesture and a contact calling sound, are the primary
form of communication used among elephants.
Other animals are known to refer to their peers
by name. Both dolphins and parrots address
each other by mimicking the receiver's voice.

Elephants, on the other hand, use a more
abstract approach which is more closely
related to the way humans communicate.
Researchers believe the findings could
suggest that elephants are capable of abstract
thought, which would make them much
more intelligent than previously believed.
It remains unclear whether each individual
elephant has its own unique name, or if
they somehow share names or titles.

Julian Assange , Reaches Plea Deal With , US Government.
'The Independent' reports that Wikileaks
founder Julian Assange has been released
from Belmarsh prison as part of a plea deal
with the United States Justice Department.
Assange will be flown out of the U.K. as part
of the deal before he makes a guilty plea deal
that could end the years-long legal battle.
On June 24, Assange boarded a flight at Stansted airport
ahead of a scheduled appearance later this week in the
Mariana Islands, a Western Pacific U.S. commonwealth.
The U.S. government has charged the
Wikileaks founder with conspiracy to obtain
and disclose national defense secrets.
The charges stem from one of the largest leaks of
classified information in U.S. history, disclosing tens of
thousands of reports regarding the war in Afghanistan.
The disclosure, which occurred between 2009 and
2011, included unfiltered diplomatic cables that
potentially endangered the safety of confidential sources. .
The leak also included significant
activity reports related to the war in Iraq
and information regarding Guantanamo Bay.
According to the latest DOJ filing, Assange is expected
to plead guilty and be sentenced to 62 months of time
already served, thus avoiding U.S. imprisonment. .
This is the result of a global campaign
that spanned grass-roots organizers,
press freedom campaigners,
legislators and leaders from
across the political spectrum,
all the way to the United Nations, Wikileaks statement, via X.

a 2x3 metre cell, isolated 23 hours
a day, he will soon reunite with his
wife Stella Assange, and their children,
who have only known their
father from behind bars, Wikileaks statement, via X

Over 80% of beach rescues
involve rip currents every year.
So far in 2024, the National
Weather Service has listed 16 deaths
from rip currents in U.S. waters. .
A rip current is a narrow column of water that
flows rapidly away from the beach, which are capable
of pulling swimmers a fair distance from the shore.
Rip currents normally form
at low spots along the beach
or along jetties and piers.
While sometimes associated
with stormy weather, they can
also occur on sunny, clear days.
Rip currents are also difficult to
detect as the surface water near
them often appears to be calm. .
'The Independent' reports that the best advice to escape a
rip current is to try and swim parallel to the shore and not
to tire yourself out before having to swim back to land. .
