One mom just realized how deeply her daughter respects her great-grandfather, and it touched her heart so much that she had to share! It all started when this woman noticed that her child had developed a peculiar quirk. She always walked with her hands behind her back. Obviously, there was nothing wrong with that, but it did strike this mother as odd. @caitlinbattyyyy A bond that will never be broken #grandparentsoftiktok #grandpa #greatgrandparents #greatgrandad #threegenerations ♬ original sound – . It wasn’t until she saw her daughter doing this around her great-grandfather that she figured it out. Great-grandpa walked like that, too! Her little girl wanted to be just like the elderly man. Isn’t that adorable? Mom captured the sweetest footage of the child trailing behind him, imitating his particular walk. “Then it all made sense…” wrote the mom on social media. “She was following her great-grandad’s footsteps.” This mom’s beautiful video of her daughter copying her great-grandfather has received over 31 million views! Commenters thought the footage was absolutely precious. “Omg I’m crying this is so cute,” wrote one user. Another added, “She has an old soul hahaha.” However, Great-grandfather isn’t the only person that this young daughter wants to emulate. She’s also a big fan of her mother! In another heartwarming video, Mom caught the little girl “parenting” her baby dolls. It’s amazing to see how carefully she tucks her “children” into bed! @caitlinbattyyyy Single mum #singlelife #toddlermom ♬ I’m A Survivor (Made Famous by Reba McEntire) – Ladies Of Country “Whenever I think I’ve got it rough, I look at my toddler who’s got four babies and she just gets on with it,” joked the girl’s mom.

'Fake environmentalists are collaborating with foreign energy companies'

There are over 2,000 bell towers across Catalonia alone, and they all need tolling each half-hour; but it’s actually so much more than that. To better interweave communities and keep long-practiced traditions alive, Spain is witnessing a class graduate from its first bell-ringing school. This strange idea is all about reviving a dying art that […] The post Spanish School of Bell-Tolling Graduates its First Class to Keep Village Traditions Alive – WATCH appeared first on Good News Network.

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Sen. Ted Cruz introduced a new bill to nix the Biden administration’s protections for a lizard species that critics argue will restrict oil and gas development. The Texas Republican unveiled his Congressional Review Act bill to walk back the Biden administration’s decision to protect the dunes sagebrush lizard, a species that is indigenous to parts of New Mexico and West Texas, under the Endangered Species Act. Cruz and other critics of the designation have asserted that the lizard’s protections are more likely intended to complicate oil and gas development in the Permian Basin, an oil- and gas-rich region of West Texas and New Mexico. The lizard is less than 3 inches long, excluding the length of its tail, according to the Fish and Wildlife Service. “The Biden administration has used the federal government to suppress American energy production at the exact time when the country, and indeed the world, needs access to affordable American energy,” Cruz said in a statement shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation. “This disastrous rule threatens American jobs and undermines the production of energy in the Permian Basin. I call on the Senate to expeditiously take up and pass my legislation to reverse it.” Ted Cruz CRA Bill on Scribd: 749766337-Ted-Cruz-CRA-Bill-1Download The Fish and Wildlife Service listed the tiny dunes sagebrush lizard under the Endangered Species Act in May, citing the “best available science” and stating that the rule would “protect the rare lizard and its habitat” from habitat loss attributable to oil and gas activity. Oil and gas interests, meanwhile, have questioned whether or not the science underlying the decision is truly solid, and have also indicated that the protections could delay permitting processes and drive up production costs, according to The Texas Tribune. Specifically, the lizard’s endangered status would make the process of building access roads more time-consuming, difficult, and costly, which would increase the costs of production. At least some of those costs would ultimately be passed on to consumers. “Listing the dunes sagebrush lizard as an endangered species is another effort by the Biden administration to shut down drilling in the Permian Basin,” Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, said in a statement shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Our Congressional Review Act is President [Joe] Biden’s attempt to use a lizard as a weapon against the oil & gas industry. We will not allow the President to take control of private property and kill energy jobs in the Permian Basin.” Republican Sens. John Cornyn of Texas, Mike Lee of Utah, and Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming joined Cruz in introducing the Congressional Review Act legislation. A number of industry groups support the bill, including the Permian Basin Petroleum Association, the Independent Petroleum Association of America, the American Petroleum Institute, and the American Exploration and Production Council. The Fish and Wildlife Service did not respond immediately to a request for comment. Originally published by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

New images show members of an uncontacted tribe in the Peruvian Amazon living in an area “dangerously close” to parts of the forest being eyed up by logging companies.Survival International, who released the footage, and local Indigenous organizations say the images starkly highlight the need to revoke all the logging licenses in the region and recognize that the territory belongs to the uncontacted peoples. The images show the Mashco Piro people, a community of nomadic hunter-gatherers thought to be one of the largest uncontacted tribes in the world with an estimated 750 members.In the late 19th century, the tribe endured huge suffering at the hands of colonial rubber barons in the western Amazon. Thousands were enslaved, while countless others were hunted down, beaten, chained, robbed, raped, and murdered. There's an estimated 750 members of the group, making them one of the biggest known uncontacted tribes.Image courtesy of Survival InternationalAgainst the odds, they managed to survive with their traditional culture intact. However, the tribe continues to face the ever-growing threat of logging and deforestation. Several logging companies hold timber concessions inside the territory that belongs to the Mashco Piro people, just a few miles from where the new footage was filmed.“These incredible images show that very large numbers of uncontacted Mashco Piro people are living just a few miles from where loggers are poised to start operations. Indeed one logging company, Canales Tahuamanu, is already at work inside Mashco Piro territory, which the Mashco Piro have made clear they oppose,” Caroline Pearce, Survival International Director, said in a statement.“This is a humanitarian disaster in the making – it’s absolutely vital that the loggers are thrown out, and the Mashco Piro’s territory is properly protected at last,” she noted.In one piece of footage, a group of 17 Mashco Piro people appeared near the village of Puerto Nuevo in southeastern Peru. In another, over 50 are seen near the neighboring village of Monte Salvado. This settlement is inhabited by the Yine, an Indigenous people in Peru who maintain contact with the wider world but speak a language related to Mashco Piro. The Yine has reportedly said that the Mashco Piro have previously expressed anger at the presence of loggers on their land.  Off the back of this new footage, Survival International is calling on the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) – an independent non-profit that intends to promote the ethical and responsible management of the world's forests – to retract their certification given to the companies operating in the area.“The FSC must cancel its certification of Canales Tahuamanu immediately – failure to do so will make a mockery of the entire certification system,” added Pearce. “This is irrefutable evidence that many Mashco Piro live in this area, which the government has not only failed to protect, but actually sold off to logging companies. The logging workers could bring in new diseases which would wipe out the Mashco Piro, and there’s also a risk of violence on either side, so it’s very important that the territorial rights of the Mashco Piro are recognized and protected in law,” added Alfredo Vargas Pio, President of local Indigenous organization FENAMAD.
