Balroop Singh’s Review of “Sun Haiku”
Somewhat crisply. On Monday, its elected leader, Prime Minister Mute Egede, said in a statement that Greenland “is not for sale and will never be for sale.” But the prime minister also said Greenland “must continue to be open to cooperation and trade with the whole world, especially our neighbors.”

The former head of the Metropolitan police intelligence unit in Washington DC has been found guilty of tipping off Enrique Tarrio – the imprisoned, one-time leader of the Proud Boys – that a warrant was out for his arrest before the January 6 Capitol attack in 2021.
Shane Lamond has been charged with tipping off Tarrio, who at the time of the Capitol attack was wanted for the burning of a Black Lives Matter banner.
Tarrio is currently serving 22 years after being convicted of seditious conspiracy in connection with the Capitol riot. Tarrio was arrested when he arrived in Washington on a flight from Miami two days before the attack.

During Tarrio’s testimony to the court, he said he wanted to travel to Washington before the January 6 attack to “get this over with” – and to set up a “circus tent” to use his arrest as a “marketing ploy”.
Lamond was found guilty on Monday of four counts, including one of obstruction of justice and three of lying to investigators.
The verdict followed a bench trial that featured testimony from Tarrio, who maintained he had been contemporaneously lying to his fellow Proud Boys about receiving information from a source in the Washington DC police department.
A federal grand jury charged Lamond in May 2023 with obstructing the investigation into the burning of the banner a month before the Capitol attack – when the Proud Boys were roaming the streets of Washington DC for a pro-Donald Trump event…
Two new studies add to the growing body of literature on the lasting effects of long COVID. In the first, a study of 114 patients with long COVID in Israel, researchers found high rates of depressive disorders (46%), generalized anxiety disorders (21%), sleep disturbances (76%), and reported cognitive changes (95%) among those diagnosed with the condition.
In a second study, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) researchers find that the prevalence of long COVID-19 in the US population in 2021 was 29.9%, and 77.2% of those with long COVID had not returned to pre-COVID health within 8 to 60 weeks after infection…

“Staphylococcus aureus infections are a major cause of global mortality and morbidity, with traditional antibiotic treatments becoming increasingly ineffective due to rising antibiotic resistance,” LimmaTech CEO Franz Werner-Haas said in a company press release. “Despite this urgent medical need, no vaccine is currently available to prevent the consequences of an S. aureus infection.”
The FDA’s Fast Track designation expedites the review process for products that have the potential to treat or prevent serious conditions and address unmet medical needs.
The company says the safety and immunogenicity of LBT-SA7 will be tested in a phase 1 clinical trial in the United States involving 130 participants aged 18 to 50 years, with initial results reported in the second half of 2025…

After the terrestrial fireflies have laid their eggs in soil, the team moves the eggs to cotton pads for monitoring. The semiaquatic fireflies lay their eggs on the leaves of the aquatic plant kapu-kapu (Pistia stratiotes), so the team then moves the egg-covered leaves to individual petri dishes to protect them. They also take steps to make sure there’s no crossbreeding. “We give each larvae a code, so we know their history when they turn into an adult,” says biologist Margaretha Noviani.
The firefly lab has already bred 40 terrestrial fireflies, some of which have been released and others used to breed the second generation of fireflies in captivity. To help further the lab’s research, the team has connected with firefly scientists in Malaysia and Australia and is also working with universities in Indonesia on grant applications.
“I think that Bring Back The Light is a really good initiative,” says entomologist and conservationist Wan Faridah Akmal Jusoh, co-chair of the IUCN’s firefly specialist group. “We are actually in the process of understanding life cycle of fireflies, which is what’s lacking at the moment. So captive breeding is important in order for us to understand each life stage of different species.”
Identifying a firefly is hard work. “Everybody faces the same [challenge],” Jusoh says. “To help conserve the firefly they need to know more about the species they are dealing with.”

The Sacred Headwaters Alliance brings together thirty Indigenous nations of the upper Amazon, in Ecuador and Peru, who are self-organizing to defend a forest devastated by the forces of extraction that is unchecked devouring the territory. Their leaders are on high alert due to the devastating effects of climate change on nature, which they see as a living being with a spiritual entity. How do they face this existential crisis? What worldview do they propose to save the forest and the planet? Are we still in time to avoid a point of no return? Read the full story: https://news.mongabay.com/2024/12/tim…

The Sacred Headwaters Alliance brings together thirty Indigenous nations of the upper Amazon in Ecuador and Peru, who are self-organizing to defend a forest devastated by unchecked extraction that is rapidly consuming their territory. Their leaders are on high alert due to the devastating effects of climate change on nature, which they perceive as a living being with a spiritual entity.
The Sacred Headwaters Alliance is focusing on climate mitigation and adaptation, as well as on teaching younger generations to resist the ongoing destruction of the Amazon. This initiative is crucial as the Amazon Basin has been severely impacted by record wildfires, with more than 22.4 million hectares (55.3 million acres) scorched between January and September 2024 in Brazil alone. Extreme heat and drought conditions have also exacerbated the crisis, affecting evaporation processes and pushing almost all major rivers in the Amazon — vital for Indigenous communities’ livelihoods — to their lowest-ever levels.
How do they face this existential crisis? What worldview do they propose to save the forest and the planet? Are we still in time to avoid a point of no return? These are the critical questions the Sacred Headwaters Alliance is grappling with as they work to protect both their cultural heritage and the environment.
