“Nepal is paying an extraordinarily disproportionate price for a crisis it did not create,” a member of the nation’s Parliament said, about last week’s flash floods. “We contribute a negligible share of global emissions, yet we sit downstream of some of the fastest-warming glacial systems on Earth.” https://t.co/ehcFwyixMB
The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.
The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.
We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.
Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.
Ha muerto Dolly Parton, la Reina del Country, uno de los más grandes íconos de este género musical. Tenía 80 años. Mírala aquí cantando ‘I Will Always Love You’, escrita y grabada originalmente por ella en 1973, antes de la versión de Whitney Houston. Y, aunque suele interpretarse como una canción romántica, en realidad nació como una despedida profesional a Porter Wagoner, su mentor y compañero artístico durante varios años. Parton quería dejar su programa y continuar su carrera en solitario; ante las tensiones que provocó esa decisión, escribió la canción como una forma afectuosa de decirle que se marchaba, pero que conservaría su cariño y gratitud.
La grabación original se realizó el 12 de junio de 1973 en el RCA Studio B de Nashville, con producción de Bob Ferguson. Después apareció en el álbum ‘Jolene’, publicado en febrero de 1974, y posteriormente fue lanzada como sencillo. La versión de Dolly llegó al n.º 1 de la lista country de Billboard en 1974.
¡Descansa en paz, reina! 🤍

Europe is about to enter a historic “Era of Queens,” something never seen before in modern times.
For the first time, multiple European thrones are set to be inherited by female heirs. In Spain, Princess Leonor (born in 2005) is preparing to become the country’s first reigning queen since the 19th century.
In Belgium, Princess Elisabeth (born in 2001) will be the nation’s first queen regnant. In the Netherlands, Princess Catharina-Amalia (born in 2003) is already stepping into public duties. Norway’s Princess Ingrid Alexandra (born in 2004) is the first female heir under gender-neutral succession laws.
In Sweden, Crown Princess Victoria (born in 1977) has long been the heir apparent, with her daughter, Princess Estelle, next in line.
This generational shift is possible because many monarchies have reformed their succession laws to establish absolute primogeniture, meaning the eldest child inherits regardless of gender.
Within a generation, five major European crowns will be led by women, marking a symbolic break from centuries of male-dominated monarchy.
Monty Roberts, the renowned "horse whisperer" who bought and sold a dual Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner and became a friend of the late Queen, died at his farm in California on Saturday. He was 91.

🚨 NEW: Mayor Zohran Mamdani has unveiled a plan to expand New York City’s tree canopy to 30% by 2040.
The plan treats trees as critical infrastructure, cooling heat-vulnerable neighborhoods, cleaning the air, absorbing stormwater and making every borough more livable.
US President Trump described the intervention to help the "weakening" yen as a "signal of friendship":
"Our country is doing great. Everyone wants help from our country."
"Japan’s been very good to us, with the exception, of course, of Pearl Harbor."
