The song of the dunes
Love me some sand dunes. I've heard low droning sounds while out in Guadalupe sand dunes in central california and in Death Valley. I remember researching why and there were some theories - something about grain size (changes pitch), friction & amplification from a layer of moisture below the surface and sand collision upon the surface creating vibrations that in turn create a feedback loop of low frequency. Stony stuff, lol!

San Francisco, Silicon Valley, And The Bay Area Explained
IBM Research? located in south SJ in 1952, 'cause of Stanford, Berkeley (HATE how he says it), UC Santa Cruz , & Moffett Field (NASA-Ames Research, but at the time was NACA).
Personally, I think Facebook is outside of Silicon Valley Proper, instead in AMPEX territory. Menlo Park (Stanford/HP) is the northern-most edge of Silicon Valley, whereas IBM marked the southern-most. and don't forget about Cisco & Silicon Graphics, whose machines were the bomb.
I grew up blocks from IBM and half my friends parents worked there (mine for NASA). I'm back here again in the Santa Cruz Mtns, Los Gatos.
San Francisco, Silicon Valley, And The Bay Area Explained
And Solano. That's not how it's pronounced by locals either.
I disagree that it's forgiveable to call SF Silicon valley....it's not even IN a valley. Maybe it's OK to say it's in the Silicon Valley Area, but not in the valley proper.
I lived there in the 80's-90's (Palo Alto-Menlo Park), and the Santa Clara valley WAS Silicon valley back then. I can forgive the boundaries being stretched to neighboring counties, but they must actually be IN a VALLEY or I'm going to balk at calling them Silicon VALLEY. ;-)
Had to go back and listen closer this time. Hewlett he pronounces wrong, as its not the same as when you say Hewlett Packard. He gets Contra Costa wrong the first time and then right the second time. He also says San Jose funny and Palo Alto and Alameda (the second time) wrong.
San Francisco, Silicon Valley, And The Bay Area Explained
Does anyone say Marin or Berkeley the way he does? How do you get Berkeley wrong? I can't imagine he's from the area or even heard anyone say those names before.
Also Id personally define Silicon Valley as Most of Santa Clara County(not all). Palo Alto to San Jose. I don't think of it as including the cities of Milpitas, Morgan Hill and Gilroy. Although, i think of it this way due to when it was first being used and the area in encompassed at that time. It's probably been ever changing depending on how the tech areas expand.
Wiki describes it "Geographically, it encompasses all of the Santa Clara Valley, the southern half of the San Francisco Peninsula, and southern portions of the East Bay. It includes parts or most of Santa Clara County, San Mateo County, and Alameda County."
Red Hot Chili Peppers Carpool Karaoke
I did not know the guy in the centre (Flea) was in this band. I remember him from Back to the Future III.
(He was the guy that Marty was supposed to drag race and crash into the Rolls Royce in 80s Hill Valley)

France has many troglodytes like this one living in the Loire Valley. Just google "Loire Troglodytes" to see the pictures.

Spring Valley High "Cop" violently assaults black teen girl
I thought the same thing at first, however
"The Spring Valley High School girl who was violently taken down by a sheriff's deputy in Columbia, S.C., Monday recently lost her mother and is an orphan living in a foster home."

I would hope the teacher and other school administrators knew about this and might have taken it into consideration when addressing her behaviour in class. It looks like they did not do that however. Why was she even in class? Why didn't they send in a counselor instead of a "resource officer"?
I think you gave the easy answer...call her parents. I bet you anything that if mama got on the phone and told her to leave class, she would do it right away.
