This year, with much of the world suffering through a global pandemic and stuck at home, people are seeking nature, fresh air and green spaces. Unfortunately, they are becoming harder to find.
Fires in the Amazon, floods in the Philippines, heatwaves in Europe – accelerating climate change is altering the planet. Scientific investigations into climate change and mitigation strategies are more important now than ever.
One of the approaches employed to combat climate change is known as REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation). Under this initiative, wealthy countries offer financial incentives to developing countries that are rich with forests and peatlands but struggle to conserve them. This structure has triggered many questions, including how to balance the needs of people living in and near forests while at the same time protecting forests themselves for their carbon sequestration potential.
Since REDD+ began over a decade ago as a policy initiative adopted at U.N. climate talks in 2013 and was subsequently recognized under the U.N. Paris Agreement in 2015, scientists have been looking into who is benefiting and who is not, and where the framework is working to reduce emissions and where it is not. This is an essential part of the process because implementing REDD+ is complex in its global-to-local actions, in the people involved – from policymakers to Indigenous communities – and the need to measure a vast range of data from satellite images to local incomes.

In order to identify opportunities to improve the livelihood opportunities for forest dwellers while tackling climate change, we need to learn from REDD+ projects that have piloted a range of approaches and reduced emissions.
For example, in Indonesia, more than a decade ago, Dharsono Hartono and Rezal Kusumaatmadja developed a conservation project in Katingan and Kotawaringin Timur regencies in the province of Central Kalimantan on the heavily forested island of Borneo. Their idea was to protect an area about twice the size of Singapore – about 150,000 hectares of intact forest and peatlands – from palm oil, acacia and other development activities. After careful analysis, collaboration with scientists from the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) and designing a strategy in line with stringent REDD+ criteria, the Katingan Mentaya Project now delivers carbon credits to business customers around the world. Companies now indirectly engage in offsetting industrial carbon emissions, while protecting forests and supporting local livelihoods.
German automaker Volkswagen – still emerging from its 2015 "emissionsgate" scandal – is one such beneficiary. In September 2019, the firm announced it was investing in Katingan Mentaya with the aim of compensating for unavoidable CO2 emissions, while supporting local communities and U.N. and other international efforts to combat climate change and protect biodiversity.
"People are realizing the benefit of nature-based solutions," Hartono said, referring to a key REDD+ premise of sustainably harnessing nature to simultaneously benefit the environment and address socio-economic disparities. "What we have with Katingan Mentaya, as the largest project in the voluntary market today based on emissions avoided, is proof of concept. That is a win-win for everybody."
In order to qualify for the voluntary market, i.e. to sell carbon offsets, projects must be independently audited for compliance with REDD+ standards, and the market highly values credits from those that demonstrate the provision of social and environmental benefits in addition to reductions in carbon emissions.
Estimated to prevent the release of, on average, 7.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per year, the Katingan Mentaya project is regularly audited by third-party certifiers and is an important place to observe REDD+ in action.

On avoided deforestation
Last year, North Carolina State University graduate student Vivi Selviana focused her master's thesis on the Katingan Mentaya REDD+ project. She recognized that the site offers a valuable case study opportunity because it has successfully prevented deforestation of carbon-rich peatlands by large actors. Her emphasis was into if and how forest use and the livelihoods of local people living near the project area have been affected.
Her thesis builds on research that CIFOR has been conducting for the past decade on REDD+ implementation at national, subnational and local levels.
"Our analysis of REDD+ projects in six countries highlights modest but positive outcomes for forests and local people when their interventions include livelihood enhancements, such as in the Katingan Mentaya project," said scientist Amy Duchelle, CIFOR climate change team leader.
Since 2011, CIFOR's research has tracked four of the 34 villages around Katingan Mentaya that were initially selected for interventions, and four similar – but not identical – comparison villages in the same two regencies. In 2014 and 2018, survey respondents in the comparison villages reported declines in forest area and quality consistent with loss of forest cover observed by satellite. In the four villages selected for project interventions, patterns were more variable, with forest gains and losses varying across data sources, time periods and villages.
This is the complicated nature of REDD+, and pitfalls can emerge in attempts to simplify the story.
Through an impassioned rebuke of Volkswagen and its carbon footprint, in a recent publication, Greenpeace makes reference to Selviana's findings on forest loss. The environmental watchdog singles out satellite data used to measure forest cover in the intervention villages, overlooking other evidence from the comparison villages detailing what happened when REDD+ was not deployed and disregarding other important caveats explained in the thesis.
For example, the Katingan Mentaya project has not been implemented at the same pace and intensity in all of the villages originally selected for interventions, and by chance, there had been fewer project activities in several of the intervention villages originally included in the thesis.

People and forests
The other side of the REDD+ conversation is the experience of local people. Selviana's research looked at community perceptions of the project and changes in household income.
Average household income increased in each of the eight villages between 2011 and 2014, but increased more slowly in the four intervention villages, resulting in lower household incomes in those villages in 2014 and again in 2018. Selviana found that this difference was mostly due to lower business income in the intervention villages. One reason was that households in those villages had made large investments, often supported by the project, in businesses such as food stalls and swallow nest cultivation, reducing their current net income but potentially leading to higher incomes in the future.
The research process included meetings in each village to elicit collective opinions about forest trends and REDD+ interventions. Selviana found that in most of the villages, perceptions of REDD+ became more negative over time, partly due to unmet – and perhaps unrealistic – expectations that all villages would benefit immediately from the project. Instead, the project has targeted support for livelihoods that are potentially more sustainable but also slower to mature than other common livelihood options in these regencies, such as gold mining.
The findings on household income and village perceptions were used to support the broader Greenpeace position, which is critical of carbon offsets, but ignores the context and interpretation offered in the thesis, including why incomes changed and the longer-term prospects for local livelihoods. For example, Greenpeace highlighted higher out-migration from the intervention villages than from the comparison villages in the first time period, but did not mention that this trend reversed in the second time period. The report also failed to recognize the importance of private financing for tackling the powerful forces driving deforestation and hence climate change.
The Katingan Mentaya work has successfully prevented the conversion of an enormous area of peatlands and is investing in restoration, which is creating employment opportunities for local people that offer attractive alternatives to wage labor in mines or oil palm plantations.
"We know balancing positive outcomes for climate and for people is complicated, and we need continued data collection to understand the impacts of climate change mitigation efforts like REDD+," Selviana said. "Local communities like the villagers I worked with in Central Kalimantan are at the center of this, and solutions need to address their present and their future."
Inclusive impacts
The world is still striving to find climate solutions that are effective and equitable, and that avoid worst-case scenarios. Forests are crucial not only in tackling accelerating climate change but also in the transition to a sustainable future that provides livelihoods, wellbeing and a wide range of ecosystem services. This is the foundation of REDD+.
CIFOR scientists have been studying REDD+ since its inception, with one clear finding: the path to good results for people and forests must lie in processes that consider all involved. Only with diverse perspectives in dialogue and implementation with governments, conservationists, Indigenous Peoples, financiers and corporations, can we hope to really address the problem.

Nordstrom says sales slowed in past two months; shares fall 9% By Reuters

By Granth Vanaik
(Reuters) – Nordstrom Inc (NYSE:) said on Tuesday net sales at its eponymous retail stores fell 3.4% in its third quarter, and overall sales for the company slowed down in the past couple of months, "particularly in geographies with unseasonably warm weather."
The company also trimmed its net profit forecast for the fiscal year ending January 2023. Shares in the upmarket Seattle-based retailer fell about 9% in extended trading.
Nordstrom, like rival retailers, has been offering steep discounts to clear excess and outdated inventory, with the company expecting more promotions across the retail industry through the key holiday quarter.
The markdowns have hurt margins, as have rising raw material and labor costs, and supply chain disruptions.
Chief Executive Erik Nordstrom said Nordstrom was clearing excess stockpiles to exit the year with healthy inventory levels, as the company girds against a downturn that had "impacted all customer segments, with outsized impact in the lowest income groups."
He also said sales had improved in the last two weeks.
Some customers were waiting until closer to Christmas to make their purchases, the company said.
"Nordstrom is looking to utilize promotions to work their way through inventory, just as the rest of the sector is," said Simeon Siegel, senior analyst at BMO Capital Markets.
In the third quarter, sales in its off-price division — Nordstrom Rack — fell 2%. Total revenue fell 2.4% to $3.55 billion, but beat analysts' expectations of $3.47 billion, according to Refinitiv data.
The company reported a net loss of $20 million, or 13 cents per share, for the quarter ended Oct. 29, compared with a profit of $64 million, or 39 cents per share, a year earlier. The quarter included a supply chain technology-related asset impairment charge.
Nordstrom's adjusted earnings of 20 cents per share topped estimates of 13 cents. It expects an annual profit of $2.13 and $2.43, excluding share repurchase activity, trimmed from $2.45 to $2.75 previously.

Qantas jet hit by lightning... again
By Joseph Sapienza
July 22, 2009 — 2.29pm
A Qantas Airbus operating the QF72 Singapore to Perth flight yesterday was struck by lightning soon after departure from Changi Airport, the airline confirmed.
A spokesman for the airline said the incident - reported first online at WAtoday - had not presented any safety issue to the aircraft or passengers.
The plane landed safely in Perth at its scheduled arrival time of 2.20pm, where it will now be inspected.
"The A330-300 aircraft will be inspected by engineers after landing," the spokesman said.
"It is too soon to say if any maintenance will be required."
To allow the necessary checks to be undertaken, the return QF71 flight to Singapore will be delayed by about two-and-a-half hours.
It departed Perth at 6pm.
Qantas said passengers booked on QF71 would be provided with refreshment vouchers.
"We will be keeping them informed of developments in the lead up to the departure," the spokesman said.
It was the second time this month a Qantas flight has been struck by lightning
A July 10 flight from Perth to Melbourne was cancelled after the A330-200 aircraft travelling from Sydney to Perth was struck by lightning shortly before it landed.

The enterprise embrace of application containers brings with it agility, scaling, rapid response to continuous change and new requirements for securing production workloads in public clouds.
Lacework said it found more than 21,000 container and API tools with potential vulnerabilities related to poorly configured resources, non-secure protocols and lack of user credentials. The growing number of container and API tools ranging from de facto standard systems like Kubernetes and Docker Swarm to an expanding ecosystem of container management systems underscores the need for "proper security guardrails" beyond initial container isolation steps, Lacework said.
The security vendor said it discovered 21,169 Internet-connected container orchestration platforms during the week of June 1. Most of the clusters were hosted on Amazon Web Services (NASDAQ: AMZN), followed by Google Cloud Platform (NASDAQ: GOOGL) and OVH, the French cloud computing vendor.
The security scan turned up more than 300 container management clusters in the open with no authentication, "virtually [giving an] complete access," the company said, via administrative dashboards that could be accessed without credentials. Among the other vulnerabilities was the ability to perform remote code execution via APIs or a user interface.
The Kubernetes cluster orchestrator accounted for 78 percent of open Internet protocols, followed by Docker Swarm and the Apache Mesos cluster manager.
"We noticed an alarming number of systems with no authentication whatsoever," Lacework reported. "Some were clearly in the midst of being setup, but some were in full production.
"In cases where full access was available, one can perform operations like add and deploy their own applications, delete infrastructure, change credentials, and potentially exfiltrate data," the security vendor added.
Researchers focused on Kubernetes given its growing popularity as an orchestration and container management platform. While it found several default authentication and secure socket layers (SSL), Lacework said it uncovered open Kubernetes dashboards in various phases of deployment along with dashboards with no authentication. Vulnerable Kubernetes dashboards also posed risks such as exposing sensitive company information.
Leaving these the management interfaces exposed "poses a huge potential for risk to their data and cloud infrastructure," the report warns.
As containers enter the mainstream, Lacework said its research highlights the need for administrators to determine an acceptable level of external visibility along with stricter access policies. It recommends tighter controls on network access, especially to dashboards and APIs, along with SSL for all servers and valid user certificates for access to container infrastructure.

What is the cure for a runny nose?
Salt water is the best home remedy to stop running nose. Salt water helps to dilute mucus, making it easier and more comfortable to get rid of it. At the same time, it also helps to overcome the problems of the nasal passage. For this mix 1 teaspoon of salt with 1 cup of water. With the help of a draper, lean into the sink and pour water into one of your nose holes and remove it after a few seconds. Now do the same with the other nose.
For me the best way to stop runny nose is a hot water with honey. But it absolutely does not help to my husband and kids. The thing is that there is no any universal way how to get rid of running nose. You can simply read about all of the possible methods and choose the one that suits to you perfectly.
Runny nose is one of the things that annoys me a lot. Usually I use drops and sprays to cure it, but it is important to find out side effects and necessary doses. Personally I read the detailed information about meds at canadian pharmacy online. But it is great to find out about home remedies, so thanks for sharing, I'll try the suggested ways!

Participants receive candles and programs at booths set up on Spanish Street near Immaculate Conception Church. Children are invited to dress as angels or shepherds.
Picolina, carrying Mary accompanied by Joseph and shepherds follows the choir, and participants complete the procession. Along the way lighted by luminarias, Joseph seeks shelter for Mary- but is rejected by those answering his knock at their doors. The procession moves down Main Street, which has been closed to traffic.
Finally, a stable in front of the Methodist Church provides a resting place. After hearing lovely music there, everyone is invited into the hall where warm beverages and homemade cookies are served, and people enjoy chatting with old friends and new.
This is a beautiful, non-commercial way to begin the season of Advent, to enjoy the charm of the beautifully decorated city of Sutter Creek, and to be a part of this annual community event. Las Posadas is sponsored by the Baptist, Episcopal, Methodist, and St. Katherine Drexel's churches.
Today we're going to look at what may be one of the biggest misbeliefs about God It seems like whenever life starts spiraling down, it's amazing how fast it seems like there's more than we can handle. The weight just gets heavier and heavier and heavier and heavier and finally, you think, "I just can't take any more of this." God does have an answer for us! We need to embrace the reality that God never said that. In fact, the truth is often the opposite of that misbelief.
JOIN US AT THE MINISTRY HOUSE ad we continue to go through the Assemblies of God Statement of Fundamental Truths. They are the doctrines concerning salvation, the baptism in the Holy Spirit, divine healing, and the Second Coming of Christ.

Militants held the world captive in 2015. The self-proclaimed Islamic State was by far the most prolific, causing chaos and disorder in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The group and its affiliate branches were responsible for just under half of the 620 militant-inspired kidnappings recorded by Unity.


So What is a Drug Anyway?
Most people would say a drug is a product you take when you're sick. Or maybe one that prevents you from getting sick. To law enforcement, it's an illegal substance. But of course it's not that simple. Since the US and Canadian governments enacted their Food and Drugs acts decades ago, much has changed because of scientific innovation.
Today we are faced with some substantial challenges in considering the regulation of new innovative products. What is a pill made from herbs proven to shrink a man's prostate? What is a topical cream to improve the appearance of the skin that actually turns off melanocyte production allowing the skin to appear whiter? What is a simple sunscreen preventing burning of the skin and reducing the risk of skin cancer? Depending on where you live, these products can be foods, drugs, cosmetics or categories invented by local governments to try to find a place where they belong.
Realistically, it is impossible for governments to stay ahead of innovation. Products land in the market and then governments scramble to understand what to do. An excellent recent example is the electronic cigarette. Are these just another addictive vice? Or are they a helpful new form of nicotine replacement reducing the hazards of smoking?
Governments feel it is their duty to protect their citizens, so they try to create regulations that are proportional to risk. The only realistic solution for them trying to regulate products is to stop worrying about the names of product categories, such as drug, nutritional supplement or cosmetic. What matters is risk. Is a 30% acid facial peel (a "cosmetic") more or less risky than taking an 81 mg aspirin tablet? How about the concentrated energy shot that's found favor amongst students trying to stay awake during exams? Here the classification of cosmetic, drug, food or nutraceutical is irrelevant. All that matters is the risk they pose versus the benefits they provide.
1. Clinical safety assessment. There are lots of established protocols that can give you a pretty good idea of the risk of products.
2. Actual in-market experience. How many adverse reactions have taken place since products were marketed? While after the fact, these give real world experience among large populations of people.
Based on measures of risk, appropriate regulations should kick in. Should products be preapproved before they enter the market? Should they be imported under strict licenses? Should they include mandatory warnings or be used under professional supervision? Should they be manufactured to specific quality requirements?
Consumer products should simply be classed based on a risk assessment scheme. While this is a very different approach than that used currently around the world, the perfect parallel exists in the world of medical devices. Bandages and toothbrushes have different requirements than implantable cardiac pacemakers. Globally, governments have found amazing commonality on how to regulate these kinds of products. It is a smart and practical regulatory regime that doesn't rely on an arbitrary classification of products. While this would be a dramatic departure and no doubt create all kinds of challenges to our current global schemes of regulation, it would solve the ongoing issue that governments face in how they regulate new innovative consumer products. And the situation is only going to get worse because the pace of innovation is greater than ever in recorded history.


It may be called a 'family size' mattress, but this massive 12-foot-wide bed is perfect for couples – especially if you have a partner that tosses and turns all night.
This mega-mattress from Ace Collection is a whopping 144 inches wide and 80 inches long, so you can get 12 feet of separation from your snoring partner while maintaining plenty of room in between. To put that into perspective, it's almost twice as big as a traditional king bed.
There's also an undeniable market for families looking to cuddle up together every night — or people with lots of dogs, for that matter. However, it isn't the most practical purchase for everyone. This super-sized sleep sack will take up a good chunk of your bedroom living space – and your bank account.
The mattress alone costs a small fortune of $2,750 (£2,041). You'll also need a gigantic box spring, metal frame, fitted sheet, flat sheet, and four king-size pillow cases to rest easy, which come with the bed for a lofty sum of $4,054 (£3,009).
But, can you really put a price on a good night's sleep?
