as I hear pm lee deliver his answers to the questions on gst and cpf. I can't help thinking that our government is doing a fairly good job. you see, singaporeans are mainly well-protected, well-fed, most of us have roofs over our heads. But as humans progress, a roof over our heads, and necessities such as this becomes, well, basic necessitites. So we take them for granted and yearn for more. If we can yearn for less as we grow older, perhaps lives will be more liveable and meaningful-transcending from a "possess" mode to "provide" mode. giving part of us to the society, to the people around us.
The government of Mauritius has killed more than 18,000 of its endemic flying fox bats. Only an estimated 40,000 remain—meaning that more than 50% of the world's population of Pteropus niger has been slaughtered. This cull is a major blow to the fight to defend biological diversity, and this species desperately needs our help. Mauritius flying foxes have been characterized as flying liquid gold for their golden brown fur. They are great allies of forests and humans, and they pollinate many species of flowers and disperse the seeds of many ecologically and economically important plants. Killing bats can only be characterized as shooting oneself in the foot. Given the benefits they provide, bats should be respected and protected around the world. Photo (c) Dr. Rodrigo A. Medellin.
This morning, on Nov. 5, 2025, Premier David Eby; Chief Marilyn Slett, president, Coastal First Nations; Mayor Garry Reece, Lax Kw’alaams; Jason Alsop, president, Haida Nation; Paula Amos, Indigenous Tourism B.C.; and Clarence Innis, Hereditary Elder, all signed the following declaration:
The North Coast Protection Declaration
“For generations, communities have built and sustained the economy of the North Coast – a legacy that continues today through a multibillion-dollar, sustainable conservation economy that supports thousands of livelihoods in fisheries, tourism, renewable energy and stewardship.
“Protecting our coast is not a barrier to economic prosperity – it is the source of it.
“The Great Bear Rainforest agreements have directly created more than 1,400 permanent jobs and 140 new businesses to date – and counting. In the past 15 years, the conservation economy has generated nearly $2 billion in economic value for British Columbia and for Canada. This is economy that invests back into communities, setting the foundation for ongoing prosperity.
“The oil tanker ban is the result of over 50 years of advocacy from First Nations and coastal communities, and supported by federal and provincial governments of all political stripes. Formalized into law in 2019, the Oil Tanker Moratorium Act did not create this protection – it codified a longstanding commitment that has kept one of the most ecologically and culturally rich marine regions on Earth safe from the threat of crude-oil spills.
“Repealing the tanker ban would risk near-term major projects and cheat B.C.’s economy out of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in investments. Over the long term, the consequence of a crude-oil spill in these waters would be generations of lost livelihoods and irreversible ecological damage.
“We urge the federal government to stand firm in its commitment to uphold the tanker ban. Protecting the North Coast is not an item for negotiation – it is a national responsibility, and it is a quantifiable investment in Canada’s treasured marine environment and the economic prosperity of future generations.
“We choose progress.
“We choose protection.
“We choose: Our Economy. Our Coast.”

I recieved formal advice from UWA today that they would provide General and Public Liability Insurance for my Pavilion when in the city. This is fantastic news, as this was a major box that I needed to tick before installing the project. I would not have been able to proceed had I not got this insurance.
All I need now is the final formal approval from the State Government, owners of the land, and the project is signed-off, ready to go. I've been advised that this approval will be a mere formality following the sighting of this Insurance document.
I'm pretty stoked about all of this!!!
What could be better than spending summer Sunday at a botanical garden discussing environmental protection and inspiring future environmental leaders for climate action?
On 30th of June, Young European Ambassadors (YEAs) from Azerbaijan invited pupils from Agdam IDP school N 81 to learn more about the environment and spend some time together.
The YEAs helped the pupils to cover a wide range of issues, including climate change, plastic pollution, deforestation and endangered species. In the end of this day-long activity, youngsters painted their new reusable bags.

I believe this was also inspired by Dina Wakely's class Intuitive Painting. What emerged for me was the theme of protection: people, animals, the sea and sky, and lost ancient art.
This project is made using sustainable materials in order to claim environment protection, hoping to have a little influence to the world through this series of jewellery. The idea came from the endless killing of animals who's body parts have precious value. The action of pulling out the jewelley to wear is actually alluding the cutting process of the parts of these animals, such as the ivory of elephants, the shell of turtles, the beak of birds, and the fin of sharks.

Calls for protection of Iraqi diversity on International Day for Tolerance
Baghdad, 02 December 2016 – In pursuance of their mandates to advance inclusive political dialogue and national reconciliation as well as build intercultural understanding, the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) and the UNESCO Office in Iraq, jointly organized today at the Martyr Monument in Baghdad a multimedia event and a Peace and Unity Concert in observation of the International Day for Tolerance.
The event was part of a broader effort to raise awareness of a need to preserve the fertile diversity of Iraq’s culture to counter a rise in intolerance and hatred. It aimed to encourage respect, dialogue and cooperation as well as mutual understanding among different cultures, sects, ethnic and religious communities of Iraq in order to actively combat fear, hatred and extremism.
Representatives of the Government of Iraq and a number of diplomats, in addition to civil society activists attended the event at Baghdad’s Martyr Monument.
Addressing the audience, the Deputy Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General (DSRSG) for Iraq for Political and Electoral Affairs, Mr. Gyorgy Busztin, condemned the senseless violence perpetrated by ISIL (Daesh), which he said deprives Iraqis of their basic right to security.
“Healing the wounds that ISIL has inflicted in the social fabric of Iraq can only be achieved through promoting the values of tolerance, fraternity, compassion and coexistence”, highlighted DSRSG Busztin. “Confronting ISIL is based on upholding the values that are contrary to the barbarism adopted by the group; and tolerance comes at the forefront of these tools”.
Speaking at the event, the UNESCO Representative to Iraq, Ms. Louise Haxthausen, said: “Tolerance is the appreciation of the rich diversity of Iraq’s culture. Today, this diversity is under threat and we must stand up together against those who seek to annihilate this diversity”.
Twenty-one years ago, on 16 November 1995, the Member States of UNESCO adopted the “Declaration of Principles on Tolerance” solemnly proclaiming 16 November as the International Day for Tolerance.
