Elephant Calf River Rescue
Filmed in the Ol Pejeta Conservancy. The Herd was spotted approaching the rain-swollen Ewaso Nyiro river. With the river deep, mountain high banks are never easy for adults, let alone a six month old calf, so being washed away in the current was a very real possibility. Thankfully mom and her emergency swat team enacted a remarkable rescue.
The Ol Pejeta Conservancy is a 90,000-acre not-for-profit wildlife conservancy in the Laikipia district of central Kenya.

Iran and the Bomb
PragerUniversity - Many countries have nuclear weapons, and many more want them. Only one, though, has its neighbors and the world terrified. That country is Iran. Why is everyone so concerned? Because the Islamic theocracy has repeatedly threatened to destroy Israel, sponsors global terrorism, and would leverage the deterrence effect of a nuclear weapon to advance their anti-Western and anti-American interests. Bret Stephens, foreign affairs columnist for the Wall Street Journal explains the one thing you really need to know in order to understand why we can't let Iran get the bomb--they may actually use it.

Mother of Boy Trapped in Roll Up Gate Speaks Out
A child is lucky to be alive after he got trapped in a roll-up gate on Skillman Street in Williamsburg Thursday evening.
Mendy Gottlieb, 7, was apparently riding the gate up and down when he was lifted 15 to 20 feet in the air, and his head got trapped at the top.
Firefighters stood on the hood of an SUV to free him. He was transported to Bellevue Hospital, where he was treated for injuries that are not considered life threatening. He was discharged late Friday morning. A large gap was visible on the top of the gate where the boy's head got stuck.
Neighbors said they stood on each others shoulders to help hold the boy up and alleviate the pressure on his head until rescue crews arrived. Eyewitnesses said the boy was stunned but conscious when rescued.
On Friday, the boy's mother Yachet Gottlieb said the incident scared her son. "Thank God he's home," she said. Mendy would have been crushed, if it were not for a braking mechanism that stops the gate when it meets resistance. He marked the Sabbath Friday night with his parents, and six brothers and sisters. The child lives a few doors away from the building where he got stuck.

Black Bear Scared Away By Two Bulldogs
There's no messing with these pups.
Two Bulldogs were barking on a New Hampshire porch as a black bear ventured into their backyard. In the video, the bear is shown on its hind legs eating from a bird feeder when the dogs broke through the railing on the porch to confront the bear. The bear quickly retreated into the woods.
As the owner of the video put it, “one might say this bear is the world’s the most, mild-mannered Black Bear ever confronted.”
