“We estimate that the butterfly population that arrives at the reserve is as much as three and could reach four times the surface area it occupied last season,” Mexican Environment Secretary Rafael Pacchiano said at a press conference at the Piedra Herrada monarch reserve.Monarch populations have witnessed a steady plunge of nearly 90 percent since their peak, hitting roughly 35 million between 2013 and 2014, a stark contrast to around one billion in the mid-1990s.US Interior Secretary Sally Jewell, who addressed reporters alongside Pacchiano, said that the North American countries are making concerted efforts to impede illegal logging and plant more milkweeds, which the monarch butterflies use to produce offspring.
Refugee and asylum seeker children on Nauru have started a campaign to get off the island, launching a Facebook page they hope will connect them with everyday Australians and give them a face.The page, Free the Children NAURU, is curated by a group of children living both in the community and in the detention centre.The administrators of the group want to remain anonymous for fear the page might be shut down, as children inside the camp are not allowed smartphones, while no one in the country is meant to use Facebook.
As a Navajo Nation Code Talker, Sergeant Major Dan Akee is a national treasure whose military service is a testament to freedom and cultural perseverance. He is one of the few remaining Code Talkers left on the Navajo Nation.Akee’s hearing is failing and his eyesight has diminished. He gets around with the assistance of a walker and the help of his son Danny.As he’s grown older, Dan Akee has expressed a lingering desire to live in the home he built for his family that now sits dormant and unoccupied. The house, which was built in the mid 50s, is in severe need of roof repair and overall renovation.He often reminisces about raising his children and grandchildren in the home. Through his memories he catches glimpses of hope in a nostalgic rearview mirror.
The resolution declares the sovereignty of the Catalan government, which makes it no longer subject to the rulings of Spanish institutions – including the constitutional court.The move prompted immediate outrage in Madrid, with Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy declaring: “I will not allow it and I have the backing of the majority of Spaniards.”Rajoy accused pro-independence politicians in Catalan, who won the majority of seats in regional elections at the end of September, of trying to “put an end to democracy and the state of law, subjugate the rights and freedoms of all citizens and break up the unity of Spain.”Catalonia, a region of some 7.5 million people, accounts for around twenty percent of Spain’s economic output. It already enjoys a good amount of autonomy in matters of education, healthcare, and policing, but has gradually been insisting on even more freedom.
By Wednesday evening, the commission had announced official results for 298 of the 491 seats contested in Sunday’s election. Of those, Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi’s party, the National League for Democracy, won 256 and the ruling party won 21.There are 664 seats in the two houses of Parliament; the military appoints 166 of them.The commission also announced that Ms. Aung San Suu Kyi had been re-elected to her seat, which was expected given the almost divine reverence that she commands across the country.
The Dalai Lama was speaking at the first-ever Abdul Kalam Seva Ratna awards organised by the Madras Management Association in association with Abdul Kalam Vision India Movement at Music Academy. Lamenting that people of his generation had created a lot of problems on the planet, he said it was up to members of the present generation to find solutions and build a happy 21st century. “Man made the problems but we also have the ability to reduce them and eventually eliminate them. We need a sense of oneness. Different views, faith, and things like race/caste are minor issues. What we need to remember is that we all are humans and have the same right to achieve a happy life,” he said. Recalling his first few visits to the city in the 1950s and 1960s, he pointed to the sharp increase in the number of constructions this time. “There is extreme modernisation in the world but people should also have a peaceful mind. People live in big houses but there is a lot of tension within them. Material development provides only physical comfort but modernisation does not necessarily bring us inner peace.” Saying India had the potential to bring about this peace, he said it was the only country where all major traditions live together and the 3000 years of Indian culture was rooted in non-violence and religious harmony.
No one knows Santa Ana’s streets like the people who live there, and a group of local youth has used that knowledge in an unprecedented effort to get the city a $2.37 million grant for bike lanes on the roads they ride every day.The small group of middle and high school students, working with nonprofit KidWorks, spearheaded a “bikability” assessment in central Santa Ana two years ago and realized that the thoroughfare they rode on to get to school – Edinger Avenue – was in great need of bike lanes.With some guidance from KidWorks staff and Santa Ana planners, the youth wrote a grant for active transportation funding from the state, and late last month they learned the project submitted through the city had been awarded the money.
From Oldham Blue Coat school, you can just about make out, across the south Pennines, the cotton mills that once made the town wealthy. In Jason Casey’s A-level class there is a range of emerging political views. Some of the class are already old enough to vote. They are universally hostile towards Ukip. To one or two, the Tories seem the natural rulers. James Tierney is a Conservative supporter because “they can control the economy better” but he does not want to cast a “wasted vote”, so will probably vote Labour. Most are, however, eager to hear more from Corbyn, though Anna Worthington fears that her mother’s job in business would be at risk if he were to become prime minister, and Iwan Phillips, a Labour member who supported Andy Burnham, is conscious that “there are some people who will never, ever vote for Corbyn”. Nuala Scott is unswayed by their concerns: “He’s going to bring in more voters that are disillusioned, because Labour actually stand for something now.”
