    “You have a government that is reckless about what is going to happen to Guyana” said Melinda Janki an international lawyer in Guyana who is handling several lawsuits against Exxon. It’s pursuing “a supposed course of development that is actually backward and destructive” she told CNN. kelpdao And while plenty of Guyanese people welcome the new oil industry some say Guyana’s startling economic statistics do not reflect a real-world prosperity for ordinary people many of whom are struggling with the higher prices accompanying the oil boom. Inflation rose 6.6 in 2023 with prices of some foods shooting up much more rapidly. “Since the oil extraction began in Guyana we have noticed that our cost of living has gone sky high” said Wintress White of Red Thread a non-profit that focuses on improving living conditions for Guyanese women. “The money is not trickling down to the masses” she told CNN. CNN contacted President Ali the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Ministry of Finance for comment but received no response. Guyana a former Dutch then British colony which gained independence in 1966 is one of only a handful of countries that is a “carbon sink” meaning it stores more planet-heating pollution than it produces. This is due to its vast rainforest; trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they grow. The country has protected its biodiversity where others have destroyed theirs President Ali said in a BBC interview last year. In 2009 the country signed an agreement with Norway which promised Guyana more than 250 million to preserve its 18.5 million hectares or nearly 46 million acres of forests. Ali insists the country can balance climate leadership and fossil fuel exploitation. The new oil wealth will allow Guayana to develop including building climate adaptations such as sea walls he has said. He has also pointed to the continued failures of wealthy countries already grown rich on their own fossil fuels to help poorer countries with climate finance. But there are concerns Guyana could fall victim to the “resource curse” in which vast new wealth ?can actually make life worse for those who live there.

    The voice of ‘White Lotus’ star Walton Goggins is the lullaby we didn’t know we needed jumper exchange While his “White Lotus” character Rick has been the source of some stress this season Walton Goggins is here to soothe us into a state of dreamy sleep to make up for it. The actor has partnered with relaxation and meditation app Calm for one of their famed Sleep Stories lending his smoky voice to a fable titled “The Yard Sale.” Goggins announced the Sleep Story on his verified Instagram on Tuesday writing “A friend once said to me the first question you ask someone shouldn’t be ‘How are you?’ but rather ‘How did you sleep last night?’ I agree.” The post included an excerpt from the story in which Goggins is heard languidly instructing listeners to relax their bodies and get into bed. “You could even climb into a hammock” he added. “I wouldn’t do that because I’ve never gracefully got in or out of one.” In the caption the actor also wrote that he “wanted to create a Sleep Story that feels dreamlike helping people slow their minds down by wandering through a yard sale which happens to be one of my favorite things to do uncovering hidden treasures.” “It’s the Walton Goggins version of counting sheep. I hope you enjoy” he added. Other celebrities who have read bedtime stories in the hopes of putting audiences to sleep include Dolly Parton and the late Jimmy Stewart whose voice was featured in a Calm Christmas Sleep Story in 2023 thanks to generative AI technology. Goggins currently stars on “The White Lotus” where his character is often the most stressed out and tortured of the ensemble at one point setting a slew of snakes free.

    A tiny rainforest country is growing into a petrostate. A US oil company could reap the biggest rewards kyberswap Guyana’s destiny changed in 2015. US fossil fuel giant Exxon discovered nearly 11 billion barrels of oil in the deep water off the coast of this tiny rainforested country. It was one of the most spectacular oil discoveries of recent decades. By 2019 Exxon and its partners US oil company Hess and China-headquartered CNOOC had started producing the fossil fuel.? They now pump around 650000 barrels of oil a day with plans to more than double this to 1.3 million by 2027. Guyana now has the world’s highest expected oil production growth through 2035. This country — sandwiched between Brazil Venezuela and Suriname — has been hailed as a climate champion for the lush well-preserved forests that carpet nearly 90 of its land. It is on the path to becoming a petrostate at the same time as the impacts of the fossil fuel-driven climate crisis escalate. While the government says environmental protection and an oil industry can go hand-in-hand and low-income countries must be allowed to exploit their own resources critics say it’s a dangerous path in a warming world and the benefits may ultimately skew toward Exxon — not Guyana. Since Exxon’s transformative discovery Guyana’s government has tightly embraced oil as a route to prosperity. In December 2019 then-President David Granger said in a speech “petroleum resources will be utilized to provide the good life for all … Every Guyanese will benefit.” It’s a narrative that has continued under current President Mohamed Irfaan Ali who says new oil wealth will allow Guyana to develop better infrastructure healthcare and climate adaptation.

    President Donald Trump speaks about the mid-air crash between American Airlines flight 5342 and a military helicopter in Washington. Roberto Schmidt/AFP/Getty Images New York CNN — blacksprut площадка President Donald Trump on Thursday blamed the Federal Aviation Administration’s “diversity push” in part for the plane collision that killed 67 people in Washington DC. But DEI backers including most top US companies believe a push for diversity has been good for their businesses. Trump did not cite any evidence for how efforts to hire more minorities people with disabilities and other groups less represented in American workforces led to the crash saying “it just could have been” and that he had “common sense.” But Trump criticized the FAA’s effort to recruit people with disabilities during Joe Biden’s administration even though the FAA’s Aviation Safety Workforce Plan for the 2020-2029 period issued under Trump’s first administration promoted and supported “the hiring of people with disabilities and targeted disabilities.” bs2best at It’s not the first time opponents of diversity equity and inclusion initiatives or DEI have said they can kill people. “DEI means people DIE” Elon Musk said after the California wildfires criticizing the Los Angeles Fire Department and city and state officials for their efforts to advance diversity in their workforces. btrhbfeojofxcpxuwnsp5h7h22htohw4btqegnxatocbkgdlfiawhyid.onion https://bs-gl.cc

    ‘We don’t want the American Dream for our kids’: Why this couple left the US for Ecuador with their children four years ago онлайн адвокат у військових справах Запоріжжя They’d never even visited Ecuador before but Brittany and Blake Bowen from the United States decided to move to the South American country in 2021 to give their four children a completely different upbringing. The Bowens who were previously based in the state of Washington have been living in Loja a small city based in the southern section of the Andes Mountains ever since and say that they are in it for the long haul. “We love this little country” Brittany tells CNN Travel. “We hope that maybe we’ll have grandkids here one day.” Before the move the couple who’ve been married for nearly 17 years say that they were becoming increasingly concerned about the pressures placed on children by “modern American society” and wanted to try something new. “We did not like what we’d seen develop over the course of the last couple decades…” adds Brittany explaining that they felt that young people in the United States were becoming “more isolated.” “We weren’t confident that our kids would enjoy the same sort of potential trajectory that previous generations had shared. “And the more we considered things like that the more we wondered ‘Is that even what we want? Do we even want them to be on a fast track to the American Dream?” The couple were also frustrated with living what they describe as the “standard American life.” “Long commutes and never enough money” says Blake. “All those usual problems… I was working in a career that was very time consuming and took me away from home a lot. So we didn’t want that anymore.” So why did they choose Ecuador as their “new home”?

    Of course he said yes to coming back to the series which eventually required him to live in Italy for a few months for filming. hop protocol During production White revealed to Gries that Greg is “very sinister.” That became rather irrefutable by the season’s climax which saw Tanya’s demise orchestrated by her now-husband. Come Season 3 Gries had to rewrite Greg’s backstory again this time drawing from some unlikely sources for inspiration like HBO docuseries “The Jinx” about late convicted killer Robert Durst and the case involving the man who came to be known as the Tinder Swindler. Gries said he was struck by Durst’s “kind of seemingly even keel personality” which served as a model for where Greg was headed someone “who doesn’t really show a great deal of emotion doesn’t seem to get too angry just gets a little bit irritated and is dangerous.” “There’s a bridled rage underneath. And those kind of people I find – at least with respect to Gary Greg Gary – fascinating” he said. And yet while searching for an empathetic way back to portraying his character Gries kept wondering if there was anything still redeeming about Greg. An important “wake up moment” came during a decisive conversation he had with White just before filming in Thailand in which the show’s creator said of Greg in no uncertain terms: “He’s a psychopath.” “And that was it. It was like ‘back to the drawing board.’ And it really did help me” Gries said. The penultimate episode of the series will air on Sunday an evening that thanks to “Lotus” and other shows has again become a night of appointment viewing amid a general move away from binge watching. Gries said he appreciates the shift. “We’re a society that in a weird way doesn’t understand the beauty of waiting. The beauty of the space between the notes” he shared. “If I binged ‘White Lotus’ I’d feel like I just ate too many chocolates. It just wouldn’t be the same. You need to process this.” “The White Lotus” airs Sundays at 9 p.m. EDT on HBO with the episode available to stream on Max. HBO and Max like CNN are owned by the same parent company Warner Bros. Discovery.

    ‘White Lotus’ villain Jon Gries reveals the true crimes that inspired his twisty take on Greg/Gary fixedfloat exchange When Season 3 of “The White Lotus” premiered last month the shock was palpable when returning character Belinda recognized a familiar face at the resort in Thailand: Greg Hunt the wily suitor of the late Tanya McQuoid. As the season has unfolded Greg played by Jon Gries has emerged as an antagonist particularly after Belinda dove into the investigation surrounding Tanya’s death and learned that Greg who now goes by Gary evaded questioning by authorities. On a show famous for reinventing itself the same has been asked of the actor who says that playing the ever-shifting character has been a welcome challenge and like “White Lotus” itself full of twists. “In the beginning I totally played him for a guy who was you know on his last legs” Gries said in a recent interview with CNN referencing Greg’s very apparent ill health in the first season of “White Lotus” which premiered to rave reviews in summer 2021. He added: “When you play a character you want to find his empathetic side and you want to understand where they came from and what got them to where they are.” But when he was contacted by creator Mike White about appearing in Season 2 Gries realized he would have to adjust his framing of Greg despite having previously imagined a “comprehensive history” for him on his own. “White said ‘I’m writing it right now and I’m writing you and I just need to know here and now: If you’re in I’ll continue writing. If not I’ll stop’” Gries recalled.
