A newborn baby boy is weighed on a scale at a government hospital in Mumbai, India on Oct. 5. Already the second most populous country with 1.2 billion people, India is expected to overtake China around 2030 when its population soars to an estimated 1.6 billion.
By the end of October, it is expected that there will be 7 billion people living on the planet, according to the U.N. Population Fund. We are hitting this milestone, even though Western Europe, Japan and Russia are currently facing population declines as a result of low birthrates and aging populations. The declines cause serious concerns about who will care for and support the elderly, with a smaller number of people in the work force contributing to taxes and welfare.
While India and China have the largest populations, it is sub-Saharan Africa that has the highest birthrates. Quickly growing countries like Nigeria, Uganda and Burundi are already struggling with the area’s limited food and water resources, combined with high poverty levels.

Children play at a square in Beijing on Feb. 3, 2010. For now, China remains the most populous nation, with 1.34 billion people. In the past decade it added 73.9 million, more than the population of France or Thailand. Nonetheless, its growth has slowed dramatically and the population is projected to start shrinking in 2027. By 2050, according to some demographers, it will be smaller than it is in 2011

Two elderly men sit on benches in the small town of La Puebla de Arganzon, northern Spain on Oct. 9. Spain used to give parents 2,500 euros ($3,300) for every newborn child to encourage families to reverse the country's low birth rate. But the checks stopped coming with Spain's austerity measures, raising the question of who will pay the bills to support the elderly in the years ahead.

A man uses a cane as he walks among other people through an open air market in Milan, Italy on Oct. 12. In 2010, more Italians died than were born for the fourth consecutive year according to the national statistics agency. Italy's population nonetheless grew slightly to 60.6 million due to immigration, a highly charged issue across Europe. Italy's youth minister Giorgia Meloni said earlier this year that measures to reverse the birth rate require "millions in investment" but that the resources aren't available.

A polygamist, Kasadha says large families are a sign of success and God's blessing. His father had 25 children, and he wants his own family to get bigger. Uganda, and other countries in sub-Saharan Africa, have some of the world's highest birthrates - a point of concern as the world's population hits the 7 billion mark on Oct. 31, 2011 according to the U.N. Population Fund.

The Carina Nebula, a star-forming region in the Sagittarius-Carina arm of the Milky Way that is 7,500 light years from Earth, is seen by the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. The Chandra X-Ray Observatory has detected more than 14,000 stars in the region and provides strong evidence that massive stars have self-destructed in this nearby star-forming area. Firstly, there is an observed deficit of bright X-ray sources in the area known as Trumpler 15, suggesting that some of the massive stars in this cluster were already destroyed in supernova explosions. Trumpler 15 is located in the northern part of the image and is one of ten star clusters in the Carina complex.The detection of six possible neutron stars, the dense cores often left behind after stars explode in supernovas, provides additional evidence that supernova activity is increasing up in Carina. Previous observations had only detected one neutron star in Carina. Image obtained Oct. 16.

Larry Hagman diagnosed with cancer
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2011/10/1822.jpg
Larry Hagman has been diagnosed with cancer but says he will continue to shoot the new series of Dallas.
The 80-year-old actor, best known for playing JR Ewing in the 1980s series Dallas, didn't specify what type of cancer he had but said it was a "very common and treatable form".
"As JR, I could get away with anything – bribery, blackmail and adultery. But I got caught by cancer," he said in a statement to America's TV Guide.
The actor is currently working on a new Dallas series for TNT and says he has no plans to pull out because of his illness.
"I will be receiving treatment while working on the new Dallas series. I could not think of a better place to be than working on a show I love, with people I love.
Besides, as we all know, you can't keep JR down," he said
Royal Wootton Bassett celebrates its new title
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2011/10/1823.jpg
The flags flew and the people of Wootton Bassett and thousands of visitors once again lined the streets of the small Wiltshire market town – this time not to mourn young soldiers killed in a war far away but to celebrate the royal title bestowed by the Queen.
The honour came in recognition of the years when the bustle of everyday life stopped on 167 occasions to honour the repatriated bodies driven through its streets.
As bright sunshine followed the bitter cold of early morning, when many spectators arrived to claim the best viewpoints along the main street, the Queen was represented by Princess Anne who brought the Letters Patent with their resplendent giant red seal, making the town Royal Wootton Bassett, a rare honour last conferred on Tunbridge Wells in 1909.
