REDISCOVERING THE LOST ART OF TALKING ON THE PHONE

Hearing a friend or family member’s voice during a phone conversation builds social connection more effectively than sending a text, according to research. Tone is especially lost in texting. How often are relationships severed or at least damaged over a text miscommunication? Someone is trying to be funny or sarcastic, and the little emoji they’ve snuck in at the end of their text doesn’t convey their emotion properly, and suddenly there is a miscommunication.

Pharaoh Ramses II Era: Israeli archaeologists discover a 3,300 years old tomb with ancient pottery

A team of Israeli archaeologists felt like they had entered a set of an Indiana Jones film, or perhaps Dreamwork’s Prince of Egypt, after discovering a burial cave from the time of Pharaoh Ramses II – thought to possibly be the pharaoh from the story of the Exodus from Egypt – containing dozens of intact objects. The cave was uncovered in the Palmachim National Park near one of Israel’s most popular beaches.

‘Man of the Hole’: Last of his tribe dies in Brazil-By Vanessa Buschschluter, BBC News

The man was the last of an indigenous group living in the Tanaru indigenous area in the state of Rondônia, which borders Bolivia.

The majority of his tribe is believed to have been killed as early as the 1970s by ranchers wanting to expand their land.

In 1995, six of the remaining members of his tribe were killed in an attack by illegal miners, making him the sole survivor.

Brazil’s Indigenous Affairs Agency (Funai) only became aware of his survival in 1996 and had been monitoring the area ever since for his safety.

It was during a routine patrol that Funai agent Altair José Algayer found the man’s body covered in macaw feathers in a hammock outside one of his straw huts.
