AN OBESE monkey who was sent to "fat camp" two years ago to lose weight now looks fighting fit as he poses in a swimming pool in newly released photos. Godzilla the macaque had weighed 19kg - nearly double the standard weight of his species - before he was rescued from his life of indulgence. Authorities had found the poor monkey chained up in a Bangkok market where well-meaning passers-by had been giving him high-sugar treats like fruit, nuts, and sweet drinks. Navee Changpirom, forest chief at Thailand's Department of National Parks said : "Sometimes market-goers would find the monkey cute and would also feed it. "The monkey became a favourite attraction at the market." He was sent to a wildlife centre in Chachoengsao province , where he was put on a strict diet of dill, lettuce, crickets, worms, sunflower seeds, and other nutritious food.

By Ella Nilsen , CNN Updated 0902 GMT (1702 HKT) February 4, 2023 Kingman, Arizona (CNN) Driving along county roads that are little more than dirt paths, Tim Walsh remarked that the expansive valley below the Long Mountain range used to be no more than tumbleweeds and scraggly cactuses. Now, it's pistachio trees as far as the eye can see. Far from mature, the pistachio saplings are just a few feet tall. The trees were planted for "miles and miles, clear up to the base of the mountain," said Walsh, a lifelong Kingman resident and head of Mohave County's Department of Development Services. Over the past decade, the vast desert area around the 33,000-person city of Kingman has been transformed into an agricultural enclave. Green alfalfa fields were first planted below the mountains, then eventually replaced with thirsty pistachio trees. But as those farms grow, county and city officials fear the groundwater -- their only source of water -- is not capable of supporting … [Read more...] about In deep-red corner of Arizona, threat of losing water starts to outweigh fear of regulation

Sir Mick Jagger turns 80 in July, but he's still prancing round the stage with the Rolling Stones . Yet, I hear that the singer's daughter, Jade Jagger, is already giving up her career - at the tender age of 51 Jade has been a designer of fine jewellery for three decades. However, yesterday she declared: 'Today is the first day I decided to stop working at jewellery. I think it will bring new light, new love and new opportunities. 'Thank you to all that supported me. Change is good.' The news may come as a relief to Kate Moss, who received a necklace from Jade in 2002. When the supermodel inspected it closely, she was shocked to discover one word spelled out in decorative stones: 'SLAG'. Jade — whose mother is Sir Mick's first (and only) wife Bianca — had been going out for two years with Dan Macmillan, the louche model son of the Earl of Stockton, when she reportedly discovered that he had also been enjoying a relationship with Moss, 49. Jade: No more … [Read more...] about EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: While Mick, 79, rocks on, daughter Jade Jagger, 51, packs in her day job as she gives up designing fine jewellery
