Article.The survivors of a vicious fox attack that killed almost half of Melbourne Zoo's little penguin population on Tuesday night remain in isolation as measures are taken to hunt down the culprit, which returned to the scene of the slaughter last night.
New security footage shows the marauding fox returning to the penguin exhibit, which is one of the zoo's most exposed, the creature apparently still hungry after the massacre of 14 penguins.
The 15 survivors of the attack have been moved to a secure location onsite, as have the zoo's quokkas, which were also deemed at risk of attack from the voracious intruder, which is believed to have breached the grounds sometime in the past week. Pictured: The nocturnal predator.

Article.Foxes have been the baddies of children’s tales since the Ancient Greeks. This has made it easier to hunt and torment them – but how much of the myth is based in fact? What would the fox say if she told her own story?
Shapeshifter, swindler and devil’s minion: the red fox is in urgent need of good PR. For thousands of years, the fox has played the villain of folk tales and legends, from Aesop’s fables to Beatrix Potter.
How many animals have had their (alleged) misdeeds immortalised by both a noun (a crafty, cunning person) and a verb (to deceive, mislead and outwit)? “Weasel” and “rat” share this dubious distinction. Informally, the fox has leant its name to an adjective, too – foxy – used to describe an attractive woman, but not necessarily one to be trusted.

The more I saw foxes in the streets where I lived, the more I questioned the popular myths that surrounded them: fox as child-snatcher, cat-muncher, vermin. Fox as scourge of the countryside.
The truth is, we’d got it wrong. Foxes are social animals that pair bond, often for life. Despite a rogues’ gallery of villainous vulpines, they’re usually the victims of a brutal human world. Pictured: A beautiful sparkle fox.

>loneliness is bad for sleep
>lonliness makes you ill
>lonliness is bad
I guess I'm the odd one out, then.
Solitude =/= loneliness tbh fam, People who want to be around others don't enjoy solitude as much. I think the article could be worded better.
Old friends saved you from new friends?
Well, having minimal social interaction took a bit of a toll on me after 2 years. I got introduced to some new friends too, through my old school mates tho.
It does take a toll. The article does make the distinction between being alone and loneliness though. Pretty much straight away.

Didn't it used to be Istanbul?
I dunno what the fuck an Istanbul is
Anatolia and Constantinople are rightful Christian lands, friend.
With your post and your avatar, you'd be just about the image of perfection right now, lulz and serious wise. IF only I could get into what I've heard of Purple so far that is... I'm not digging on that chlorine song

Loneliness is pre shit fam. I Got some nasty panic attacks (indiectly) from that shit a little while ago. Good news is I'm more in touch with old friends now because I really don't want to melt down again.

Does professionalism motivate you? What about mystery and adventure?
Passion motivates me.
Passion is good, inspiration is better.
I'll leave off anyway. As if some guy yapping at you over the internet is going to help.
I enjoyed it, real talk.
Cool, I was starting to feel a bit silly.

i love how he just casually opens with "your face is pissing me off. wanna throw down?"
“Pro-tip: Tell your match what you don’t like about their picture,” the website reads.
The face is a sure thing... but if they have feet in the picture, go for the feet!

Article: the Tinder of street fighting.Imagine if members of Fight Club didn’t have to talk about Fight Club because they had smartphones.
Imagine if Tinder users swiped right not to hook up, but throw punches.
This is Rumblr – “Meet. Fight. Conquer” its tagline – and its development team says it’s a real thing.
“We have raised relatively substantial funding from private American investors and the app is fully developed,” an unnamed spokesperson for Rumblr told nydailynews.com.
The app offers “casualty-free casual fighting for free,” borrowing smartphone dating technology to match complete strangers for love at first fight.
Users get a profile pic and list their stats, including “MMA specialty,” to potential matches.
“Pro-tip: Tell your match what you don’t like about their picture,” the website reads.
A chat function allows users to “heat up” after arranging a fight and a filter for female and group fights. They can also broadcast fights’ location so others can gawk – or perhaps become accessories to – the action. Pictured: A pro-tip being put into action.

Limits are sneaky things though, you might not recognise when you've hit one. Be careful.
You talking about people or credit cards?
In general. Anything - everything.

I'll fight this
I have nothing more
I like this poem: If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

Article.Almost all of us have experienced loneliness at some point. It is the pain we have felt following a breakup, perhaps the loss of a loved one, or a move away from home. We are vulnerable to feeling lonely at any point in our lives.
Loneliness is commonly used to describe a negative emotional state experienced when there is a difference between the relationships one wishes to have and those one perceives one has.
The unpleasant feelings of loneliness are subjective; researchers have found loneliness is not about the amount of time one spends with other people or alone. It is related more to quality of relationships, rather than quantity. A lonely person feels that he or she is not understood by others, and may not think they hold meaningful relationships.
Researchers have found social isolation is a risk factor for disease and premature death. Findings from a recent review of multiple studies indicated that a lack of social connection poses a similar risk of early death to physical indicators such as obesity.
Loneliness is a risk factor for many physical health difficulties, from fragmented sleep and dementia to lower cardiovascular output.
Some individuals may also be biologically vulnerable to feeling lonely. Evidence from twin studies found that loneliness may be partly heritable. To access the full article click the link at the top of this post. Pictured: Loneliness is not just about whether there are people around.

Didn't it used to be Istanbul?
Istanbul is colloquial for 'The City' and apparently was in common usage, so that's what they named the city in order to break with some past.
Wait here it is: "it is derived from the greek terms "Ης την Πόλη" (is tin poli) or "στην Πόλη" (stin poli or stimboli) which means "in the city" or "to the city"."
