BOGOR, Indonesia — We must continuously adapt our institutions to deal with accelerated social and environmental change if we are to make real progress in protecting forests and achieving sustainability, says Eduardo Brondízio, Professor of Anthropology at Indiana University.
"Our efforts to reconcile development and conservation in forest regions currently rest on unsustainable grounds," Brondízio said in an interview with Forests News. "We need to confront — intellectually and in practice — several mismatches and misconceptions."
Youth —
The next frontier in forest management
Brondízio is one of six panelists presenting 'big ideas' for discussion at the Colloquium on Forests and Climate: New Thinking for Transformational Change at Columbia University in New York on 24 September, where he hopes to provoke questions that people may not be thinking about — "the kinds of questions that force us to think about the next 10, 20 years."
He also warned against romanticizing poverty and accepting poor living conditions as "culture" when looking at economic development in forest regions.
An edited transcript of the interview follows.
Q: What is the 'big idea' you'll be discussing at the Colloquium on Forests and Climate?
A: We live in a time of accelerated change. Technology, infrastructure, structural adjustments, population growth, consumption patterns, climate, communication and mobility contribute to increased pressure on the environment and are reconfiguring forest landscapes, particularly in tropical areas.
In this context, it's amazing how much progress we've made in the last 20 years in recognizing the importance of forests, in developing institutions to protect and manage them, and in recognizing the role and value of indigenous and rural peoples. It's also amazing how recurrent the structural problems are that have limited the effectiveness of these institutions and the development gains so needed in these regions.
But this is the reality of our time, and we require both long-term vision and continuously rethinking and adapting our institutions to the challenges of a changing society and environment. The Amazon, where I have been working for the past 25 years, is a microcosm of these advances and problems, and one that mirrors many other regions of the world.
We've come a long way in recognizing the value of ecosystem services and environmental functions as well as the intangible values of nature
Eduardo Brondízio
So, while we have made a lot of progress, our efforts to reconcile development and conservation in forest regions currently rest on unsustainable grounds. We need to confront — intellectually and in practice — several mismatches and misconceptions.
These are some of the points, developed in collaboration and publications with colleagues, which I want to call attention to.
Q: What are these mismatches you're talking about?
A: The first is a mismatch of governance institutions.
One of the most visible and successful efforts to decrease the impact of development on biodiversity in the past 20 years has been the implementation of different kinds of protected areas and indigenous reserves. The scale, speed, and impact have been mind-boggling — from insignificant to more than half of the land area in some regions.
Research suggests that for countries such as Brazil, the most significant gains in reducing carbon emissions have come from prevented deforestation in areas protected and managed by local communities.
What's in a land title?
But as farms and cities expand, these areas are increasingly becoming conservation islands amid areas of change, but systems designed to govern them can only deal in a limited way with the pressures that are emerging all around.
Reserves and parks have been successful so far as a rapid response to the pressure of agribusiness expansion and extractive commodities, but need to be reconsidered if they are to continue to protect forest landscapes.
So we need now new ways of thinking about conservation at a landscape level, to come up with institutions that can bridge different governance systems.
The second is a mismatch of values.
We've come a long way in recognizing the value of ecosystem services and environmental functions as well as the intangible values of nature. But we haven't been able to change the political economy of extractivism, which seeks a fast rate of return at low cost and promotes value aggregation away from the areas where resources are generated.
Compensating people — through payments for environmental services, including REDD+ — has just not been enough to deal with scale of the development needs in forested regions. We need to move beyond economies of subsidies. This requires reconsidering the way we think about resource economies, from the still-dominant extraction and export path to an emphasis on transformation and value aggregation.
If we do not add value to resources locally, we're not changing the equation of environmental degradation, poverty and the under-development of tropical forest areas around the world.

The third is a mismatch of representation and expectations.
Since the 1980s, we have seen a leap forward in terms of valuing the rights of indigenous and local people who are in charge of conserving forest landscapes in many regions of the world.
But increasingly we see an idealization of indigenous ways as 'ecologically noble,' and economically frozen in time. And that is not what you find on the ground.
At the extreme, we run the risk of romanticizing poverty and accepting poor living conditions as 'culture.' We cannot ignore the desires and expectations that people have — they too want to improve their lives, and we risk creating conflict based on misrepresentation and mismatches of expectations.
Fortunately, there is also significant mobilization among indigenous and local communities to make their voice heard and their needs addressed.
Q: What do you hope people leave the event thinking about?
A: I hope people take home a positive view about our ability to confront these challenges, but also a recognition that we have to confront deep, recurrent structural problems. In 20 years, it's impressive the amount of organization, collective action and behavioral changes achieved — recognizing the rights of people, creating democratic institutions, and mechanisms to deal with environmental and social issues. More needs to be done, but we've come a long way.
Yet, the process of dealing with climate change and other global changes is a continuous one. Institutions don't last in themselves. We need to continuously adapt and re-craft them to deal with the changing reality of society in a time of climate change and social acceleration.
Q: Why are events like this important?
A: I hope that we provoke questions that people may not be thinking about.
These are the kinds of questions that force us to think about the next 10, 20 years. We have achieved a lot in forest conservation, land governance, and climate change adaptation — and now we can see the limits of that.
Paris Agreement:
The rush to ratification
We've come a long way in valuing resources and ecosystem services and granting rights to local communities living in productive conservation areas. The evidence now — and people need to hear this — is that it's not economically sustainable. You have other competing uses that will start to pressure the resource. If we do not think about a new era of decentralized and sustainable industrialization, where we transform resources as locally as possible, we'll continue to export raw materials from the most resource-rich but socially poor areas of the world, and leave the costs behind.
People do have, with the best intentions possible, romanticized ideas about different social groups and cultures, and what they expect from them. And it's important that we decouple the idea that local and indigenous values and knowledge are not compatible with expectations about economic improvement and access to goods and services. We should recognize the value of local communities and indigenous groups for what they are — not for how they can serve our romanticized stereotypes.
A forum like this is aimed at being provocative. It's aimed at raising new questions and perhaps bringing people out of their comfort zone, but into a constructive dialogue so we can confront the intersection of new and old challenges, and to critically consider what they imply.

A delicious strawberry banana with sweet vanilla milk and cream undertones topped with a fresh whipped cream.
Strawberry & ripe strawberry these flavors combined give you that pink flavor a nice fresh strawberry slightly artificial but just right.
Banana cream gives you a nice fresh banana flavor not to ripe but just fits well into the creams.
Sweet cream, Bavarian cream, cheesecake graham crust, vanilla swirl, and the vanilla custard make up that rich vanilla milky cream. Sweet cream and the cheesecake graham gives it that dairy flavor while the Bavarian cream and vanilla swirl add in the vanilla along with the vanilla custard which also adds weight and holds everything together in this recipe.
Lastly the whipped cream is just used as a topping. Picture a strawberry banana milkshake glass with that whipped cream on top that's exactly what it is there for just to finish it off.
Tried to keep this recipe using only tfa but capella vanilla custard v1 works better in my opinion but tfa vanilla custard will do fine.
This stays in my ADV rotation, which is rare because I have a love/hate thing with banana vapes. This one is superbly balanced if you give it the right amount of heat.
Absolutely amazing recipe, sweet Creamy strawberry vanilla inhale and a very Ripe and rich banana exhale with a lot of body. Congratulations!
Really good recipe, definitely needs at least a 5 day steep before trying. Been enjoying this mix for a few days now. Creamy fruity strawberry on the inhale and a meaty, creamy banana on the exhale.
I waited the 5 days steep and used cap vc1. I like it. So many recipes go unrated. Didn't want it to get lost In the shuffle so others might give it a try.

Abstract: A comprehensive literature survey on the vibration of thin skew plates is presented and a few virgin areas on this subject are identified. As an initial part of a research plan to fill these gaps, the paper focuses on vibrating skew plates with internal line supports. For analysis, the pb-2 Rayleigh-Ritz method is used. The Ritz function is defined by the product of (1) a two-dimensional polynomial function, (2) the equations of the boundaries with each equation raised to the power of 0, 1, or 2 corresponding to a free, simply supported or clamped edge and (3) the equations of the internal line supports. Since the pb-2 Ritz function satisfies the kinematic boundary conditions at the outset, the analyst need not be inconvenient by having to search for the appropriate function; especially when dealing with any arbitrary shaped plate of various combinations of supporting edge conditions. Based on this simple and accurate pb-2 Rayleigh-Ritz method, tabulated vibration solutions are presented for skew plates with different edge conditions, skew angles, aspect ratios and internal line support positions. © 1994.

The ever-changing laws concerning the requirements for child car seat safety are a challenge for grandparents. Most of us do not transport our grandchildren all of the time, but only occasionally when they visit or when we take vacations with them. That means a transfer of car seats to our vehicles and back again. There are stringent laws concerning the ages and weights of children and the kind of car seats they must use and so we must inform ourselves in order to be law-abiding and to keep our grandchildren safe. You may choose to buy car seats for your own vehicles to have on hand when the grandchildren come calling.
Once you have the car seats you need to ensure the safety of your grandchildren, you need to be sure that each time you install them you do so correctly. Common errors of installation concern threading the straps through the wrong slots in the seat, not locking the clips, failure to buckle properly and installing the entire unit too loosely. It is worthwhile to visit a local police station or other check site to have the car seats inspected for safety and for installation demonstrations. These inspections are free.
The safety of our grandchildren is always of utmost importance. The cost of the required seats is one of the major expenses for young families today and may be something grandparents choose to provide. Since laws and models of car seats keep being upgraded, you may want to bookmark or print out the above sites for future reference. Your children will also help you keep up to date with the current requirements. Yes, there is always something new to learn, but remember, we are carrying precious cargo!

Catholic Pocket Dictionary/H
HEART OF JESUS (SACRED HEART)
HEART OF MARY IMMACULATE
HOLY GHOST, CONGREGATION OF THE, AND OF THE I. H. OF MARY
HOLY PLACES
HUMERAL VEIL
The faithful worship with supreme adoration the physical Heart of Christ, considered "not as mere flesh, but as united to the Divinity." They adore it as "the Heart of the Person of the Word to which it is inseparably united." This truth is as old as the belief in the hypostatic union, and it was solemnly defined in 431 at the Council of Ephesus. All the members of Christ united to the rest of His sacred humanity and to the Eternal Word are the object of divine worship. If it be asked further why the heart is selected as the object of special adoration, the answer is, that the real and physical heart is a natural symbol of Christ's exceeding charity, and of His interior life. Just as the Church in the middle ages turned with singular devotion to the Five Wounds as the symbol of Christ's Passion, so in these later days she bids us have recourse to His Sacred Heart, mindful of the love wherewith He loved us "even to the end."
The special and formal devotion to the Heart of Jesus owes its origin to the Blessed Margaret Mary Alacoque, who lived in the latter part of the seventeenth century.
The principles on which the devotion rests are the same as those which are the foundation of the Catholic devotion to the Sacred Heart. Just as Catholics worship the Sacred Heart because it is united to the Person of the Word, so they venerate the heart of Mary because united to the person of the Blessed Virgin. In each case the physical heart is taken as a natural symbol of charity and of the inner life, though of course the charity and virtues of Mary are infinitely inferior to those of her Divine Son.
It is the place where God manifests His glory to the blessed, and clearly shows Himself to them. This appears from the fact that Christ has ascended to heaven in that body which He took from Mary, and that the body of Mary herself is, according to the belief of the Church, already reunited to her soul, so that she is, body and soul, with her Divine Son. Since then, the sacred humanity is not omnipresent, heaven is a definite place in which Christ and the Blessed Virgin exist, and in which the angels and blessed souls are gathered together. After the general resurrection heaven will also be the home in which the bodies of the just will live for ever.
Hell may be defined as the place and state in which the devils and such human beings as die in enmity with God suffer eternal torment.
The word is used to denote a philosophical sect or party, or the belief of those who of their own will choose false doctrine, either instituting sects themselves or receiving the false doctrine of sects already founded.
The word first occurs in the work of a Greek writer of the fifth century who referred to it as "administration of sacred things." A hierarchy now signifies a body of officials disposed organically in ranks and orders, each subordinate to the one above it. However, when the hierarchy is generally spoken of, what is meant is the organization of ranks and orders in the Catholic Church.
Our Lord, His Mother, and His foster-father, St. Joseph, together formed one family which should be the model and veneration of all Christian households.
This congregation, as its' name might suggest, arose out of the fusion into one, in 1848, of two pre-existing institutes - the Congregation of the Holy Ghost, and the Missioners of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The rule of the Congregation of the Holy Ghost, which had been approved by the Sovereign Pontiff, was to be retained, and the constitutions of the missionaries were for the most part incorporated in it.
The society is governed by a superior-general elected for life. Its missions are directed by bishops or vicars-apostolic chosen from its own body. All the members - fathers and brothers- consecrate themselves to God by the three simple vows of religion, at first temporary, afterwards perpetual; and they bind themselves to the congregation by their act of profession, which contains an engagement of perseverance.
The spots rendered sacred to Christians by the birth, death, resurrection, and ascension of our Savior, as well as by events in the life of the Blessed Virgin, have been visited by pilgrims and travellers at least since the third century.
Washing with water is a natural symbol of spiritual purification. "I will pour out upon you," says fled by the prophet Ezechiel, xxxvi. 25, "clean water, and you shall be clean."
Holy water is placed at the door of the church in order that the faithful may sprinkle themselves with it as they enter accompanying the outward rite with internal acts of sorrow and love.
The week in which the Church commemorates Christ's death and burial, and which is spoken of by ancient writers as the Great, the Holy Week, the Week of the Holy Passion. The custom of keeping Holy Week dated from Apostolic times. In the East, Holy Week was distinguished from the rest of Lent by the extreme strictness of the fast.
Homily is used by ecclesiastical writers to signify a familiar discourse on Holy Scripture.
One of the theological virtues. It may be defined as a supernatural gift of God whereby we trust that God will give us eternal life and all the means necessary thereto if we do our part.

Berlin has been named one of the top 200 towns in the country for hunting and fishing.
The city is number 158 on the list complied by the national sporting magazine, 'Outdoor Life' in its April issue.
The magazine said it looked at population centers with over 4,000, examining quality of life factors as well as rating the towns from a sporting perspective.
Outdoor Life said it placed a heavier emphasis on sporting qualities. Towns were judged on the hunting and fishing opportunities they offered, the trophy quality of the sporting opportunities, restrictiveness of gun laws, access to public land, and whether hunting and fishing is good year-round.
Berlin is the only community in New Hampshire to make the list. Other New England communities on the list include Burlington and Rutland, Vt., Cumberland, Presque Isle, and Bangor, Me., and Plymouth and Adams, Mass.
The magazine listed Mountain Hole, Ark., as its top community in the county for hunting and fishing. The community was described as offering " big-fish diversity in a laid-back Ozarks valley".
Outdoor life is owned by Timer Warner and is a sister magazine of Field & Stream. According to the on-line encyclopedia, Wikipedia, the magazine has a circulation of 925,000.

Amerind is the proud home of one of the largest and best documented Zuni and Navajo jewelry collections in the world. A recent donation from one remarkable family, the collection includes thousands upon thousands of jewelry pieces made by artisans and masters from the late 19th through 20th century. This exhibit debuts a small fraction of this amazing collection for the public to see. Collected over three generations, the donating family had a personal relationship with many of these artisans. The jewelers represented in this collection pioneered a uniquely American art form that thrust Indigenous design and vision onto a global stage.
Sixty years ago this year, Amerind excavated one of the most amazing archaeological sites in our region: Paquimé in Chihuahua, Mexico. With a team of top archaeological scholars, this new permanent exhibit lets you explore the arts, history, and architecture of this important ancient community that flourished over seven centuries ago. From Amerind's foundational research to the latest discoveries—the story of this community and its ingenious people will ignite your imagination.
Amerind is proud to host the Smithsonian traveling exhibit Water/Ways, a look at the history and science of water in the United States. While the Smithsonian exhibit will visit the Amerind in March and April of 2019, Amerind is celebrating with companion exhibits and programs.
When Gabriel Ayala heard about the events taking place near the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, Ayala decided to stand with the Water Protectors, a group of predominately Indigenous community members who opposed the construction of a petroleum pipeline. Ayala was forever changed by his time at the Standing Rock Camps. His 2016 photographs document his experiences at the camps.
Gabriel Ayala is a very well-known world-class classical guitarist. A member of the Pascua Yaqui tribe, Mr. Ayala has traveled the world to perform and teach. His photographic work at Standing Rock has further developed Ayala's talents as a multimedia artist.
Water/Ways explores the endless motion of the water cycle, its effect on the landscape, settlement, and migration, and its impact on culture and spirituality. It looks at political and economic efforts to ensure access to water, and explores how human creativity and resourcefulness provide new ways to protect water resources and renew our relationship with the natural environment. This is a traveling exhibition from the Smithsonian Institution that will tour 12 Arizona towns. The Smithsonian has partnered with Arizona Humanities, Walton Sustainability Solutions Initiatives, and Arizona State University to bring the exhibit to Arizona. More information at waterwaysaz.org.
Indigenous communities of the southwestern US and northernMexico revere water in all its forms. With incredible feats of engineering and an eye to sustainability, Indigenous farmers and ranchers have carefully cultivated water resources to nourish their crops, livestock, and people. This exhibit explores the intersection of water with Indigenous life in deep history and recent times. Arts and crafts that celebrate water in all its forms and depict the harbingers of our rainy season accompany the exhibition.
In this invited show, Indigenous artists exhibit works related to water. Water is indispensable to the body as it is to the spirit. Rain, snow, and clouds are depicted in art created centuries ago and are still the subject of artworks today. Ancient songs, still sung today in Indigenous communities, celebrate the ocean, rain, and tumbling waters that race across arroyos and riverbeds. Come see what water inspires.
Water is life in the American West for all people and across all ages. Not surprisingly water is a subject of great fascination to the artists who call the American West their home. This exhibit, created in partnership with Friends of Western Art, displays artworks from private collections and from Amerind's permanent collection centered on the theme of water. From raging arroyos to life giving springs, water is as much a necessity as it is an artistic inspiration.

"Solitary as an oyster." is a quotation from A Christmas Carol (Stave 1).
This quote is from a paragraph describing Ebenezer Scrooge at the beginning of A Christmas Carol. Scrooge is a cold-hearted tight miser who prefers his own company and has few friends.
Dickens uses a number of comparissons to emphasize the characteristics of Ebenezer Scrooge early on in the novella, such as hard and sharp as flint, and this one, solitary as an oyster.
This is an example of the figurative language Charles Dickens uses in his works, here using a simile to compare Scrooge to an oyster. Oysters live a solitary existence (at the bottom of the sea bed). Dickens is highlighting to the reader that Scrooge choses to live an isolated life. A Christmas Carol is an allegorical tale and the growth of pearls within oysters may also hint at the transformation of Scrooge as the story develops.
Give your view on "Solitary as an oyster" with a rating and help us compile the very best Charles Dickens quotations.
He had a large circle of acquaintance, and seldom dined at his own expense.
There is a numerous class of people in this great metropolis who seem not to possess a single friend, and whom nobody appears to care for.

Korn star: 'Coming off meth... I got a little fanatical'
Korn guitarist Brian 'Head' Welch meets fans at the Sunshine Coast premiere of his documentary, Loud Krazy Love at BCC Cinemas Maroochydore. Mark Furler

AS a young woman tells Korn guitarist Brian 'Head' Welch of her battle with 'cutting' and self-harm, the nu metal rocker knows he came to Australia for a reason.
A motley crew of Korn fans and Christians have just watched his documentary Loud Krazy Love at Maroochydore Cinemas on Sunday night.
The young woman, in a Q&A session at the end of the film, tells Welch: "I just want to say thank you because it's actually really helped me a lot at the moment to see you going from rock bottom to (finding) there's a light at the end of the tunnel.''
"That's the whole purpose of this movie… to hear you say that and to help people,'' Welch responds.
"I know a lot of us in the rock world carry a lot of pain and wounds from the past. There's a lot of fans that have been abused and all kinds of stuff. This documentary is like a love project."
The film started out as the story of mega band Korn but evolved into a far more powerful account of the journey Welch and his daughter Jennea face as he battled drugs, depression and a porn addiction while she struggled with a mum who left her and a father who was continually away.
The movie shows incredibly raw interviews with Jennea, who was suicidal and cutting herself, along with footage of the band's drug-fuelled rampages and wild parties.
After a two-year meth bender, Welch became a Christian, quit drugs and Korn, and tried to become a better dad. But his problems were far from over.
"Coming off meth and finding Jesus I got a little bit fanatical right,'' he tells the crowd, pointing to the scene where he's seen wearing a white robe.
He admits some of his closest friends have been hurt by judgemental Christians who also condemn his style of music.
"I think religious Christianity needs to die in the ground - not the people, the mindset.''
He believes Christ is more interested in the heart of a person rather than the music they play.
"Legalistic mindsets have to go… they are not Christ at all.
"I have been on a journey for a long time and He's just so free. If your hearts are focused on the meaning of everything, what we are doing it for… that's my story anyway.''
During the movie, Korn lead singer Jonathan Davis, drops plenty of f bombs when talking about Christians.
Welch says watching Loud Krazy Love with his daughter has been both painful and therapeutic.
Back on the road with Korn, he says while he's changed inside, he's still the 'crazy rock and roll guy', the annoying bloke on tour with ADHD who is always cracking jokes.
For him, he says its more about connecting with the fans through his music, including helping them on their own journeys.
"It's not about us, the parties and the groupies.
"Everyone has their head on straight and are thankful for the music."
Loud Krazy Love is being brought to Australia by Sunshine Coast based Heritage Films. Its premise is the movies change people and people change the world.
Korn's movie certainly fits the bill.

Byron Finishes 14th in First-Ever Dirt Race
21 Jul 2016 Speedway Digest Staff
In his short racing career every start William Byron has ever made has been on a paved track, until tonight at the legendary half-mile dirt oval of Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio. Byron took his Liberty University Tundra out on the dirt and learned an entirely new form of racing. It was a steep learning curve for the rookie driver, but he completed every lap while learning along the way to finish in 14th place.
Byron started 18th based on his fourth-place finish in his qualifying race earlier in the evening. The race was a much different format than most Camping World Truck Series events, with the 150 laps broken into segments of 40, 50 and 60 laps. Between each segment, the teams were given the opportunity to pit for tires, fuel and adjustments like they would normally do, but without the pressure of losing time on the track. Byron was caught up in a wreck in front of him just before the end of the 40-lap segment. The Tundra only sustained cosmetic damage and was able to continue with some repairs by the crew.
He restarted the second segment 15th and was able to run around that position until getting caught in another accident on lap 74, which included his Kyle Busch Motorsports (KBM) teammate Cody Coughlin. Byron lost a lap, but was able to regain it a few laps later when the caution came out for the second and final break of the race. The team made adjustments to free up the truck and Byron restarted the final segment 18th.
Throughout the final 60 laps, Byron found himself getting a bit more comfortable racing on the dirt and was able to hold his own in the closing laps to finish the race 14th.
"Tonight was difficult," Byron said. "I felt a little bit out of place because of the conditions and everything, so I just tried to learn on the fly. I felt like I was learning there towards the end trying to make solid laps and move around a bit there at the end. Racing on dirt is way different than anything I've ever done, so I just tried to get as good a finish as I could and move on to Pocono next weekend."
Sprint Cup Series regular Kyle Larson won the race followed by KBM's Christopher Bell, Rico Abreu, Jake Griffin and Tyler Reddick rounded out the top five. KBM's Cody Coughlin was 19th. Byron continues to lead the rookie standings, as well as the driver point standings.

Actress Vaani Kapoor may not exactly have set the box office on fire with her first outing as a leading lady in a Hindi film (Befikre), but she is a spunky gal all the same. Remember, she did win the Best Female Debut award at the 59th Filmfare Awards as a supporting actress in the romantic comedy, Shuddh Desi Romance, alongside Sushant Singh Rajput and Parineeti Chopra.
Vaani was in Mumbai recently to attend an awards ceremony, and her look set many pulses racing. Flaunting a bold and glamorous black, barely-there Nikhil Thampi number, Vaani oozed oomph.
The bare-it-all gown featured a shimmery trail, plunging neckline and an open-back and Vaani looked uber chic in the daring avatar.
Celebrity stylist Mohit Rai did a great job with her appearance. Vaani sported minimal make-up, with just a dash of soft pink on her lips. Her hair was open, and her accessories were minimal as well.
She settled for just finger rings, from Misho. Her svelte figure did the all the talking.

A new COVID benefit is now in effect, but no one can access it
The federal government has established a new COVID-19 support benefit, but it can't be accessed because no one in the country meets its eligibility criteria, prompting criticism of the support.
The Canada Worker Lockdown Benefit (CWLB) officially came into existence last Friday. Like its predecessors, such as the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) and the Canada Recovery Benefit (CRB), it's designed to provide temporary income support during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Unlike those programs, it's only available to workers who cannot work due to a local lockdown designation, but no region is officially under lockdown.
"The CWLB is only available when a COVID-19 lockdown order is designated for your region. Your region may be designated if the lockdown lasts for 14 days or more," a government web page explaining the program said.
Under a heading titled "When you can apply," the page said applications will only open "if a COVID-19 lockdown region is designated."
The federal government is responsible for making decisions as to what regions meet the criteria of being in a lockdown. The Canada Revenue Agency is administering the program.
Successful applicants are eligible to receive $300 per week, and can apply for the benefit between October 24, 2021 and May 7, 2022.
The government tabled legislation to create the new benefit last month. Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said at the time that the government wanted to establish more targeted support programs compared to broader supports such as CERB. She cited high vaccination rates and Canada's economic recovery as part of the reason for the more targeted support.
But even with COVID-19 infections rising, and provinces implementing restrictions on gatherings and activities, it's unclear when CWLB will open up.
CWLB too restrictive, says NDP critic
At a news conference in Moncton Monday, Minister of Infrastructure, Intergovernmental Affairs and Communities Dominic LeBlanc said conversations with the provinces on economic support programs are ongoing.
"We're certainly always interested in hearing from business leaders and from provincial and territorial leaders to ensure that together we have the right mix of support," he said.
The government has spent just under $300 billion on economic support programs related to COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic.

Daniel Blaike, the New Democratic Party's finance critic, says the CWLB is not an adequate support program.
"I think this is one of the critical failures of the legislation that the Liberals brought to Parliament," he said in an interview. "It's a very restrictive income support benefit."
"We know that there's still a lot of economic consequences of the pandemic. As Omicron picks up, we're seeing an impact on business, but not necessarily because of a widespread government-mandated lockdown."
Blaikie added that the government should have continued broader economic support programs instead. "The time for income support is clearly not passed," he said.
Harriet Clunie, the executive chef of the Das Lokal restaurant in Ottawa, has had to reduce her employees' hours as a result of new restrictions, which have halved the restaurant's capacity.
She's worried about what the change will mean for her employees — especially since they're not eligible for the program.
"I feel like there needs to be stronger measures put in place right now that aren't lockdown dependent, that need to be in place immediately to help workers get the money that they need to survive — or at least help the restaurants be able to keep them employed," she said.
"I really think that they need to have some proportionate measures in, any time there's some kind of restriction implemented."
