(CNN) — La foto favorita de Brian Aerni fue tomada cuando solo tenía tres años.Corría el año 1976. Aerni vivía en Denver, Colorado, donde su padre trabajaba como agente de estación en el aeropuerto internacional de Stapleton, entonces el centro neurálgico de la aviación de Denver.

Ya de pequeño le encantaba acompañar a su padre al trabajo y ver cómo despegaban y aterrizaban los aviones.En una de estas excursiones al aeropuerto, el padre de Aerni le hizo una foto a su hijo. En la foto, el joven Aerni —en primer plano, vestido con una camiseta blanca y pantalón a cuadros—sonríe ampliamente. Detrás de él hay un avión de hélice Convair 580, pintado con los colores blanco y azul de Frontier Airlines.A medida que Aerni crecía, crecía con él su interés por la aviación.

Russian security forces raided gay clubs and bars across Moscow Friday night, less than 48 hours after the country’s top court banned what it called the “global LGBTQ+ movement” as an extremist organization.Police searched venues across the Russian capital, including a nightclub, a male sauna, and a bar that hosted LGBTQ+ parties, under the pretext of a drug raid, local media reported.Eyewitnesses told journalists that clubgoers’ documents were checked and photographed by the security services. They also said that managers had been able to warn patrons before police arrived.The raids follow a decision by Russia’s Supreme Court to label the country’s LGBTQ+ “movement” as an extremist organization.The ruling, which was made in response to a lawsuit filed by the Justice Ministry, is the latest step in a decadelong crackdown on LGBTQ+ rights under President Vladimir Putin, who has emphasized “traditional family values” during his 24 years in power.Activists have noted the lawsuit was lo...

Thousands of trees will be felled in Vancouver’s Stanley Park due to moth infestation

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:31:38 GMT

VANCOUVER — The quiet of Stanley Park’s forests has been splintered as chainsaws roar in a multi-year project to remove about one quarter of the trees that make up what’s considered a Vancouver jewel.On the road to Prospect Point a parking lot that in warmer months would be part of a picnic area, is now a work site where heavy machinery brings in large, cut sections of trees and crushes smaller branches.They are among the first of what’s expected to be 160,000 trees removed for public safety reasons after a years-long infestation of western hemlock looper moths.“Removing trees is not something we take lightly, but this work is essential to restarting the forest afresh and giving it the strongest chance at withstanding future threats to its health,” Amit Gandha, director of parks at the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation, said in a statement.The juvenile form of the moth, a member of the inchworm family, chews on both the fresh, green needles of trees in the spring a...
