The Voice of America reports It is beginning to look a lot like crowded everywhere we go on Earth as humans topped 8 billion people.
And with longer lifespans offsetting fewer births, world population growth continues a long-term trend of slowing down.
The scientific estimates are that our global population exceeded the threshold near the end of September. The United Nations estimated the number was passed 10 months earlier, having declared Nov. 22, 2022, the "Day of 8 Billion," the Census Bureau pointed out in a statement.

As a longtime New Yorker, a former AP Bureau Chief, and a practicing Christian who attended Catholic schools I object, dear Lord.
William Donohue is also known as Billiy The Bully and claims the nearly $500,000 raise he received was part of an exit package approved by the board. However, he is still on the job and continues trying to bully the free press and specifically AP, my alma mater. https://www.eurasiareview.com/20042023-nyc-is-indeed-crime-ridden-oped/

Are you one of those Americans who've had it with boards and are Moving On Up from Condo to House in the 200 Largest Cities?

MY BRONX TALE

I was curious about the following phrase throughout my early years as a young journalist, first in Miami, then in NY, DC, and LA.
‘When the going gets tough, the tough get going” idiom emphasizes that when conditions become difficult, strong people take action. Strong-willed, adamant, aggressive go-getting, grittily, gutsy, pertinacious, pigheadedly, and purposefully.
Hart Island Park

More than one million impoverished bodies have reportedly been buried here. Now It's becoming a public New York City Park.
Hart Island is located at the western end of Long Island Sound, in The Bronx in the northeastern portion of New York City. Measuring approximately 1 mi long by 0.33 mi wide, Hart Island is part of the Pelham Islands archipelago east of City Island.
Hart Island, a potter's field where New York City has buried its unclaimed dead for over a century, will finally accept visitors this year.

Watch these video models. The miracles began 100 million years ago in the midst of the breakup of the supercontinent Pangaea.
At the beginning of the animation, the continents that will become Africa and South America are already recognizable, with the Northern Hemisphere continents coming together tens of millions of years later.
