@Paws2RescueUK Unfortunately a lot of animals suffer in silence, they get abandoned, starved, tortured ... Or they live alone in the streets and feel unwanted. Far too many never get rescued and die in pain and agony. Help animals in need. They only have us.
No but Trump has had another physical, just 6 weeks after his last visit after a string of gaffes at the NATO summit, struggling to climb the steps of AF1, & having to be guided by President Erdogan.
Not the face of someone who just received good news.
A veteran big game hunter lost his life when a wounded elephant fell on him during a safari.
On a 10 day hunting trip near Zimbabwe Hwange National Park experienced South African guide Theunis Botha aged 51 led clients into a group of elephants. Botha fired shots at the animals. One elephant seized him in response. A fellow hunter then shot the elephant in an attempt to rescue Botha but the collapsing animal crushed the guide causing his death.
Botha operated a well known safari business focused on classic European style hunts with hounds. He enjoyed respect among hunting enthusiasts and regularly hosted international visitors including many from the United States.
The unusual circumstances of his death elicited sharply divided responses across social media platforms. Members of the hunting community expressed sorrow over the passing of a dedicated professional. In contrast animal rights supporters and numerous online commentators interpreted the event as a foreseeable outcome of the contentious trophy hunting industry.

They refer to themselves as The Brave Ones and poachers understand the reason all too well.
Since 2017 the Akashinga have conducted continuous patrols across Zimbabwe wilderness areas safeguarding elephants and rhinos from poaching threats as part of one of Africa most effective conservation initiatives.
Their story stands out even more because of their composition. The unit consists entirely of women from disadvantaged circumstances including single mothers survivors of domestic violence and former subsistence poachers.
Damien Mander a former Australian special forces operative established the program. It equips these women with professional training steady income meaningful purpose and authority transforming them into dedicated guardians of wildlife.
Their efforts have contributed to over 1100 arrests and significant declines in poaching within their operational zones.
Beyond wildlife protection Akashinga demonstrates the transformative impact of empowering women. The unit shows how such support enables communities to regain strength restore self respect and champion nature through unwavering determination.
In 1962, Brendon Grimshaw purchased Moyenne Island in the Seychelles for roughly $11,000. At the time, the small island was completely barren and uninhabited.
Over the following decades, Grimshaw dedicated his life to restoring its ecosystem. He personally planted more than 16,000 trees, created walking trails, and reintroduced endangered species — most notably giant Aldabra tortoises — transforming the once-desolate island into a lush, thriving nature sanctuary.
Despite numerous offers from wealthy developers eager to turn the island into a luxury resort, Grimshaw consistently refused. He famously rejected a $50 million bid, determined to keep Moyenne Island as a protected natural haven open for people to enjoy rather than a private commercial venture.
In 2009, his vision was permanently secured when Moyenne Island was incorporated into the Sainte Anne Marine National Park, becoming the smallest national park in the world.
Grimshaw lived on the island until his death in 2012, leaving behind a remarkable legacy of conservation and environmental stewardship that continues to protect this unique paradise for future generations.
She is not merely preparing to wear a crown. She is equipping herself to lead a nation.
At the age of 20 Princess Leonor of Spain has already finished comprehensive military training with the army navy and air force. This preparation readies her for her eventual role as Spain first reigning queen in more than 150 years.
Born in 2005 Leonor serves as the elder daughter of King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia. She pursued studies at UWC Atlantic College in Wales before returning to Spain to assume royal responsibilities and undertake military service.
During her training she sailed aboard the training vessel Juan Sebastian de Elcano and accomplished her initial solo flight in 2025.
Her upcoming reign will represent a significant milestone for Spain marking the first queen regnant since Queen Isabella II in the 19th century.
To many observers Leonor embodies a modern form of leadership characterized by strong education discipline and readiness to shape history.
Trinidad and Tobago has signed agreements with United States companies to develop large scale data centers.
The Caribbean nation announced memorandums of understanding with Florida based Hummingbird AI Holdings and New York based Ernst and Young LLP. These represent the first such partnerships between American firms and a Caribbean government.
Hummingbird aims to establish a 150 megawatt artificial intelligence infrastructure and data center complex. The Ernst and Young deal outlines a framework for a separate 300 megawatt project that may involve other collaborators. Combined the initiatives could require up to 450 megawatts of power during peak demand.
Prime Minister Kamla Persad Bissessar noted that the United States government assisted in facilitating the deals. Authorities project that the data centers together with plans to restart a steel facility could generate more than 5000 new jobs.
Environmental worries have surfaced quickly. Trinidad and Tobago has faced chronic water scarcity for years. Many residents depend on storage tanks since municipal supplies often run only once weekly and some areas experience outages lasting weeks. Data centers require considerable water for cooling which could exacerbate strains on the national system.
Electricity needs would also prove substantial. Global forecasts indicate data centers may account for nearly three percent of worldwide power consumption by 2030 driven by artificial intelligence and cloud computing growth.
The memorandums do not yet permit construction. They create structures for further study planning collaboration and negotiations.
Nevertheless the news positions Trinidad and Tobago as a potential leader in the Caribbean artificial intelligence infrastructure expansion. It also compels the country to address complex tradeoffs involving employment energy resources water security and ecological impacts.
