Small fields, great diversity: How a diverse patchwork of crops helps birds

Birds are not only beautiful to look at and listen to; they also play important roles in nature. They eat pests and disperse seeds. They are generally considered indicators of a healthy environment. When birds thrive, soil and water quality often benefit as well. A new study published in the journal Landscape Ecology shows that growing a variety of crops in small field patches creates better habitats for birds.

Chinas CPEC Crown Jewel Cracks, Pak's Gwadar Port Faces Baloch Threat, Local Anger And No Cargo

Gwadar was once promoted as the crown jewel of Chinas Belt and Road Initiative. The deep-sea port was supposed to help Beijing bypass the Malacca Strait, move energy through Pakistan and connect Xinjiang to the Arabian Sea. But the reality is starkly different. The port remains commercially underused, major shipping lines prefer established regional hubs and the industrial zones around Gwadar have struggled to take off. At the same time, Chinese workers, convoys and infrastructure have faced repeated attacks from Baloch insurgents. Local residents complain that the port has brought security restrictions, water shortages and limited employment. China cannot easily abandon Gwadar without admitting failure. But expanding the project means spending more money on a corridor that is expensive, vulnerable and politically unpopular. This report examines why Gwadar has become a liability for China and what its decline means for India and Chabahar.

Satya, Yogi Babu's film titled 'Golden Bhagyam'

Digital Desk | Hyderabad, Sep 29 (IANS) The makers of director Pawan Basamsetti's eagerly awaited comedy entertainer, featuring two comical powerhouses Satya and Yogi Babu in the lead, have now announced 'Golden Bhagyam' as the title of their film. Nagarjuna Reddy and Pawan Basamsetti are jointly producing the project under the banners of Dream Movie Makers and Nayavayu Chitralu. The film marks the maiden production venture of both banners. The team on Tuesday unveiled the title with a video that offered viewers a glimpse at the unique concept. Interestingly, this does not appear to be a conventional Telugu or Tamil film, but a Telumil project that brings together Telugu and Tamil languages along with popular actors from both industries. The glimpse video begins on a humorous note, with a Telugu man and a Tamil man enjoying their respective favourite foods while proudly claiming that their cuisine is the best. The Telugu character relishes biryani with a cool drink, while the Tamil character enjoys idli with sambar. Their light-hearted argument takes a fun turn when another person interrupts them and points out that there is a much bigger combination in store. That leads to the stylish introduction of Satya and Yogi Babu, who appear in traditional white-and-white attire. The director then gives them an intriguing description of their story, revealing that it blends love with crime and action elements. The glimpse concludes with the title reveal, Golden Bhagyam. Director Pawan Basamsetti seems to have attempted something unique by bringing together two of the most popular comedy actors from the Telugu and Tamil film industries for a bilingual crossover entertainer. Adding to the fun, Telugu actor Satya is seen speaking Tamil, while Tamil star Yogi Babu is seen speaking Telugu. The glimpse also playfully presents them as a major Telugu-Tamil combination, with massive multi-starrer cutouts featured in the backdrop. Going by the glimpse, the film promises to be an out-and-out entertainer built around the unique chemistry of its lead actors. Satya and Yogi Babu are expected to be the films biggest source of humour, with their individual comic styles and impeccable timing coming together for the first time in this setting. Sources close to the unit of the film say that Jayashree and Athiraj will play the female leads in the film. Vennela Kishore, Sudharshan, Kishore Tirumala, Rohini, Tanikella Bharani and Sunil Reddy too will be seen in pivotal roles in the film, they added. The film also features an accomplished technical crew. Malayalam cinematographer Bablu Aju is handling the visuals, while Pawan CH is composing the music. Kamesh is in charge of the production design, with Ravi Teja Girijala overseeing the editing. Adding another humorous touch to the announcement, the makers initially announced the film for a Sankranthi release, only to move it beyond Sankranthi and eventually announce its arrival simply within the year. The playful announcement perfectly matched the fun spirit of the project.

Iran's parliament speaker warns of regret-inducing response to any US threat, adventurism

Digital Desk | Tehran, Seo 29 (IANS) Iran's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf on Tuesday warned that the country's response to any US threat or adventurism would be egret-inducing and swift, according to the official news agency IRNA. Speaking at an open session of parliament, Bagher said the era of intimidating the civilised Iranian nation had ended and that Iran would never be forced to back down from its rights and demands despite threats, rhetoric, or economic and aerial blockades. He said that US President Donald Trump's recent remarks at the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) and his insult to the Iranian nation demonstrated that Washington has not yet changed its hostile posture, Xinhua News Agency reported. Ghalibaf also warned against Trump's hetoric about the US control over the Strait of Hormuz, saying, In a region where we do not sell oil, no one else will sell oil either; and if our security is not ensured, no infrastructure will be safe. Ebrahim Azizi, chairman of the Iranian parliament's national security and foreign policy committee, told IRNA that if the United States makes another miscalculation and takes any action against Iran's national interests and security, such as waging another war or continuing the naval blockade, it will receive painful and crushing blows. In his speech at the UNGA in New York, Trump said, I have a big decision to make on Iran, asking whether a deal would be made with Iran that lets them ebuild and create a far greater country than it ever was before, or whether he should annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly. Earlier, Trump said that members of his team had spoken to Iran, but gave no indication of progress towards ending the war. He said he expected the confrontation to conclude quickly one way or the other. Asked at the White House whether his team had spoken to Iran, Trump replied, Yeah, they have. A reporter followed up with a question referring to mediators, and he again answered, Yeah. He did not identify those involved, specify how the contact took place or describe what was discussed.
