MADRID, 25 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) -
The Ministry of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration will meet this Monday with social agents and representatives of self-employed workers to analyze the benefit for cessation of activity of said group, as indicated by ministerial sources to Europa Press.
The Minister of Inclusion, Social Security and Migration, Elma Saiz, already announced at the beginning of February, during a Europa Press breakfast, that an observatory would be created to monitor the unemployment benefits of the self-employed, which the Union of Associations of Self-Employed Workers and Entrepreneurs (Uatae) announced that it would be next Monday, February 26.
The head of Social Security stressed that, after a few years of implementation of the benefit for cessation of activity, it is time to evaluate whether what has been done works well or badly "hand in hand with social dialogue."
Therefore, this Monday, the Secretary of State for Social Security and Pensions, Borja Suárez, will chair the social dialogue table on the self-employed, which will be attended by UGT, CCOO, CEOE and self-employed organizations such as ATA, Uatae and UPTA.
With the call of this table, the fiftieth additional provision of Royal Decree Law 13/2022 is fulfilled, which establishes a new contribution system for self-employed or self-employed workers and improves protection for cessation of activity, where includes the creation of this observatory for the analysis and monitoring of the benefit for cessation of activity for economic reasons of self-employed workers, as indicated by sources from the Ministry.
This benefit for cessation of activity allowed one million self-employed workers to face the consequences of the pandemic and in 2023 a total of 14,000 self-employed workers accessed this benefit, for which it is necessary to contribute, Saiz detailed during the Europa Press breakfast.
The call for this observatory is a demand from self-employed organizations, which have stated that the benefit for cessation of activity for self-employed workers is still not a "completely protective and effective" measure.
This is how the general secretary of Uatae, María José Landaburu, stated, after the minister's announcement, that "the data shows that in the last year 20,000 people requested it and more than 10,000 were denied or gave up." However, Landaburu welcomed the creation of this observatory, a "central demand" of the group.
A demand that has been shared by the president of UPTA, Eduardo Abad, who indicated that the improvement of the cessation of activity in the self-employed was one of the "non-extendable" issues for 2024.
For his part, the president of ATA, Lorenzo Amor, expressed his desire that this observatory serve so that "once and for all" the self-employed can access the subsidy for those over 52 years of age, "obviously after making a contribution", for which He assured "willingness" on the part of the self-employed to increase the rates if this group is allowed to access the subsidy.
Likewise, Uatae expressed their desire for this observatory to be used to carry out an analysis and monitoring of the RETA reform, addressing all issues related to the equalization of rights and obligations of self-employed workers, as well as progress towards a contribution system. by real income.

SABAH WELCOMES FIREFLY MAIDEN FLIGHT PENANG- KOTA KINABALU
Sabah welcomes Firefly maiden flight Penang-Kota Kinabalu
KOTA KINABALU: Firefly celebrated the commencement of its inaugural flight from Penang to Kota Kinabalu on Monday, carrying 85 passengers on board.
Passengers arriving on a Boeing 737-800 aircraft were greeted with a water canon salute as the plane touched down at the Kota Kinabalu International Airport at 5.10pm.
Sabah Tourism, Culture, and Environment Minister Datuk Jafry Ariffin and his Assistant Minister cum Sabah Tourism Board Datuk Joniston Bangkuai were present to welcome the passengers.
They were accompanied by the state’s tourism ministry permanent secretary Datuk Mohd Yusrie Abdullah @ Yantis Goduan; Sabah Tourism Board chief executive officer Noredah Othman; Malaysia Airport Berhad (Sabah) acting senior general manager Kamaruzzaman Razali; MASWing chief operational officer Captain Nasaruddin A. Bakar; and Malaysia Tourism Promotion Board deputy chairman Datuk Seri Dr. Anil Jeet Singh Sandhu.
According to Jafry, the launch of Firefly’s new Penang-Kota Kinabalu route is expected to result in an increase in tourist arrivals to Sabah, especially since Penang is close to Langkawi, which receives international flights.
“The state government thanks Firefly for choosing Kota Kinabalu as its destination route. I hope that cooperation between the state government and Firefly will be strengthened further to boost the state’s tourism industry.
“This Firefly route has unquestionably made Sabah more accessible to Malaysians and visitors alike. As such, I invite everyone to visit Sabah and immerse themselves in the state’s numerous fascinating attractions and culture,” he said.
Jafry added his Ministry is committed to working with all airlines in the country and welcoming more direct flights to Sabah in the future.
Meanwhile, Nasaruddin stated that Firefly will operate one daily flight between Penang-Kota Kinabalu and Kota Kinabalu-Penang until April 24.
From April 25 onwards, the airline will operate two flights per day on each route.
“The response has been very promising and encouraging, especially during the festival and holiday seasons. The Penang-Kota Kinabalu route is currently priced at RM119 until April 27.
“Pricing will change depending on supply and demand, so we encourage passengers to book their flight early and keep browsing for the best deal,” he said.
Firefly is under the Malaysia Aviation Group, which includes Malaysia Airlines and MASwings.

Lately, news reports the world over have been talking about the new obsession for “raw water”. Silicon Valley, home to the best in food and drink, has been seeing a surge in demand for unfiltered water.
Raw water is basically “unfiltered, untreated, un-sterilized spring water”, which is becoming the rage and this craze is spreading all over the world. This ‘raw water’ has been selling for as much as £45 for 4.5 litres, and prices are only going to be rising in the coming days. Continue reading

For most people the worst thing about a long-haul flight is, the food! Meals on airlines are stomach churning because they are either overcooked or stale. Chef Gordon Ramsay recently revealed that he worked on planes for 10 years and never eats meals on planes because he knows where the food’s been and where it goes, and how long it took before it got on board.

To keep all of the sections in the right position I used two layers of sheer fabric that was hand stitched to the back.The edges were serged to keep the sheer from fraying and to keep the back of the piece tidy.
Now you can see how all of it lined up.
One more check. The trees at the side were discarded as well as the hand dyed yarn at the right. I went for simplicity to create greater impact.

Human Rights Watch remains concerned by the human rights crisis in Libya, which is taking place amidst near-absolute impunity.
In an annual report on Thursday, the US State Department criticized the lack of action by the House of Representatives and Presidential Council to protect freedom of speech in Libya, referring to the pressure on the work of journalists.
Minister of Justice of the Presidential Council’s government, Mohamed Lamloum, said that human rights violations in Libya are not being committed in a systematic manner, insisting that such practices are merely individual acts.
Most of the 48,000 former residents of the Libyan town of Tawergha, forcibly displaced for seven years, have not been able to return home, Human Rights Watch said today after visiting the town.
The Libyan Human Rights Solidarity organization said Tuesday on Facebook that the International Criminal Court (ICC) had opened an investigation into human rights violations at Mitiga prison that is run by Special Deterrence Force (SDF) in Tripoli.
Director of Human Rights and Transitional Justice of the UN Mission Antonia De Meo stressed the need to enforce respect for human rights in Libyan prisons.
Libya has been ranked ninth among the worst countries in terms of freedoms.
The Ministry of Interior announced the establishment of the “Office of Human Rights Affairs” which its administrative subordination will be to the Minister of Interior directly.
The Human Rights Solidarity (HRS) held some meeting, last week, with the Euro-Mediterranean Federation Against Enforced Disappearances (FEMED) for enforced disappearance. The organisations held the meetings with some interested in the Libyan issues in the European Union (EU).
Civil societies in Tripoli call for international commission to investigate prison conditions in Libya
16 civil societies and institutions in Tripoli have called on the UNSMIL to form an international commission in order to investigate the situation of prisoners in all Libyan prisons and to guarantee the freedom of opinion advocated by the 17 February revolution.

You have me. Until every last star in the galaxy dies
This is the best book I have read this year, so far! I just loved Illuminae! It is so well written and it keeps you hooked until the very last word. Love it!
Book Review: Illuminae by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff
Title & Author: Illuminae by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff
Genre: Science-Fiction, Adventure
Release Date: October 20 2015
Series: The Illuminae Files
Publisher: Knopf Books
This morning, Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the hardest thing she’d have to do. This afternoon, her planet was invaded.
The year is 2575, and two rival megacorporations are at war over a planet that’s little more than an ice-covered speck at the edge of the universe. Too bad nobody thought to warn the people living on it. With enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra—who are barely even talking to each other—are forced to fight their way onto an evacuating fleet, with an enemy warship in hot pursuit.
But their problems are just getting started. A deadly plague has broken out and is mutating, with terrifying results; the fleet’s AI, which should be protecting them, may actually be their enemy; and nobody in charge will say what’s really going on. As Kady hacks into a tangled web of data to find the truth, it’s clear only one person can help her bring it all to light: the ex-boyfriend she swore she’d never speak to again.
I give Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff five out of five heart because it was an amazing book! This novel is written in such an interesting way, I’ve seen the method being used more and more these days (like Everything Everything), but here it is done so much better! It makes me want to hurry of the second novel in The Illuminae Files, Gemina!
Before I started I knew it was going to be amazing, I had heard great things for this novel and I hoped, even though it had been a couple of months since I last heard about this one, it would not turn out to be a huge funk, like Shatter Me or the Shades of Magic series.
But is impressed me and made me want to become a well a write as Amie and Jay! Are they on their own still as amazing, I wonder! The book is written in emails, audio transcripts, images, IMs and many more kinds of texts and this makes it so much more immersive! I wonder how the story would have turned out if this story was written in a normal fashion, but I can’t even imagine it. It is literally written as the a set of files.
The characters feel so read, because you live through the story with them. Kady and Ezra’s struggle with their losses and the want to be together is almost tangible!
Kady is so ready to fight and to be the one to save people, I would almost send her to the doctor to discuss her issues! Usually these are characteristics I hate in story character, because it seems faked, but with Kady it feels different.
She and Ezra have such great humor and sarcasm, unlike Aidan, but he was also very funny, for us, as humans! Aidan made me feel for him, even though he is one of the villains of the book! He works so hard to be understood by the stupid humans. But he is also very adorable.
The book is beautiful and I am definitely going reread it as an audiobook, because a lot of people also suggest to do that. I actually thought it could never be as great as the book, because of all the visuals in the novel. But first I am going to score Gemina to move on with my lust for the great series! I need more Illuminae Files!
Let me know what you thought of this book!
If you have any requests for which book I should talk about next, please let me know in the comments down below.
For now, let books enrich your life!


Hurricane Freddie has wreaked havoc in the African countries of Malawi and Mozambique, the number of deaths in various accidents has increased to over 200.
According to foreign media, several people have been injured in the accidents. In Malawi, 10 districts have been declared disaster by the authorities, which were the most affected by the storm.
The cyclone hit the coastal areas of Mozambique first and then Malawi on Saturday.
It is reported that roofs of houses were blown off and trees were uprooted in the areas affected by the stormy winds, while torrential rains have caused flooding.
According to the government’s disaster relief agency, more than 20,000 people have been displaced so far. The government appealed to the people to help those people who are forced to live under the open sky without food or shelter.
Cyclone Freddie also hit Mozambique, Malawi and Madagascar last month.

Scanned text contains errors.
attempting to write a history of the period previous to the return of the Heracleidae; but the history of the subsequent time is still greatly intermixed with fables and mythical traditions; and it must be acknowledged that his attempts to restore a genuine history by divesting the traditions from what he considered mythical or fabulous, were in most cases highly unsuccessful, and sometimes even absurd and puerile. He exercised a sort of criticism which is anything but that of a real historian (Strab. xii. p. 550), and in some instances he forced his authorities to suit his own views. For the early times he seems to have preferred the logographers to the epic poets, though the latter, too, were not neglected. Even the later portions of his history, where Ephorus had such guides as Herodotus, Thucydides, _and Xenophon, contained such discrepancies from his great predecessors, and on points on which they were entitled to credit, that Ephorus, to say the least, cannot be regarded as a sound and safe guide in the study of history. The severest critic of Ephorus was Timaeus, who never neglected an opportunity of pointing out his inaccuracies ; several authors also wrote separate books against Ephorus, such as Alexinus, the pupil of Eubulides (Diog. Laert. ii. 106,110), and Strato the Peripatetic. (Diog. Laert. v. 59.) Porphyrius (ap. Euseb. Praep. Evang. x. 2) charges Ephorus with constant plagiarisms; but this accusation is undoubtedly very much exaggerated, for we not only find no traces of plagiarism in the fragments extant, but we frequently find Ephorus disputing the statements of his predecessors. (Joseph, c. Apion. i. 3.) Polybius (xii. 25) praises him for his knowledge of maritime warfare, but adds that he was utterly ignorant of the mode of warfare on land; Strabo (viii. p. 332) acknowledges his merits, by saying that he separated the historical from the geographical portions of his work; and, in regard to the latter, he did not confine himself to mere lists of names, but he introduced investigations concerning the origin of nations, their constitutions and manners, and many of the geographical fragments which have come down to us contain lively and beautiful descriptions. (Polyb. ix. 1; Strab. ix. p. 400, &c., x. pp. 465,479, &c.) As regards the style of Ephorus, it is such as might be expected from a disciple of Isocrates: it is clear, lucid, and elaborately polished, but at the same time diffuse and deficient in power and energy, so that Ephorus is by no means equal to his master. (Polyb. xii. 28; Dionys. de Comp. Verb. 26 ; Demetr. Ilepl epjjaiv. § 68 ; Dion Chrysost. Orat. xviii. p. 256, ed. Morel.; Plut. Pericl. 28 ; Phi-lostr. Vit. Soph. i. 17; Cic. Orat. 51; Phot. Bill. Cod. 176.) The fragments of the works of Ephorus, the number of which might probably be much increased if Diodorus had always mentioned his authorities, were first collected by Meier Marx, Carlsruhe, 1815, 8vo., who afterwards published some additions in Friedemann and Seebode's Mis-cellan. Grit., ii. 4, p. 754, &c. They are also contained in C. and Th. M'tiller's Fragm. Historicor. Graec. pp. 234—277, Paris, 1841, 8vo. Both editors have prefixed to their editions critical dissertations on the life and writings of Ephorus.
2. Of Cumae, called the Younger, was likewise an historian, but he is mentioned only by Suidas, according to whom he wrote a history of Galienus in twenty-seven books, a work on Corinth, one on the Aleuadae, and a few others. The name
Galienus in this account, it should be observed, is only a correction of Volaterranus, for the common reading in Suidas is ra\r)vov. (Comp. Marx, Ephor. Fragm. p. 7.) [L, S.]
EPHORUS, an Ephesian painter, and teacher of apelles. (Suid. s. v. 'A-TrcAAijs.) [P. S.]
1. ephremus. To a writer so called, and to whose name no distinctive epithet can be attached, is ascribed the account of Saints Abram and Mary (Ada SS. Abramii et Mariae) in the Ada Sanctorum Martii, vol. ii. p. 436, &c. Papebroche, in his introduction to the account, conjectures that the writer lived about the middle of the sixth century. The account, of which he is the author, is sometimes ascribed (as in the Catalogue of the King's Library at Paris a. d. 1740) but incorrectly to Ephraem the Syrian. It has also been ascribed, but incorrectly, to Ephrem of Caria and Ephrem of Mylasa. [Nos. 3 and 7 below.]
2. ephraimius (E^pafyuos), or, as Theophanes writes the name, euphraimius (Eitypafyuos), patriarch of antioch, or, as it was then called, Theopolis. If the designation given him by Theophanes (6 'A/u&os) indicates the place of his birth, he was a native of Amida in Armenia, near the source of the Tigris. His first employments were civil: and in the reign of the emperor Justin I. he attained to the high dignity of Count of the East. While in this office he-received, according to a curious story, recorded in the Aeipuvdpios, or Pratum Spirituale, written by Joannes Moschus, but erroneously ascribed, by ancient as well as modern writers, to Sophronius patriarch of Jerusalem, an intimation of the ecclesiastical dignity to which he was destined to attain. In the years 525 and 526, Antioch was nearly destroyed by successive shocks of an earthquake, and by a fire which had been occasioned by the overthrow of the buildings. Among the sufferers was Euphrasius the patriarch, who was buried in the ruins of the falling edifices ; and the people, grateful for the compassionate care which Ephraimius manifested for them in their distress, chose him successor to the deceased prelate. His elevation to the patriarchate is generally placed in the year 526, but perhaps did not take place till the year following. His conduct as patriarch is highly eulogized by ecclesiastical writers, who speak .especially of his charity to the poor, and of , the zeal and firmness with which he opposed heresy. His zeal against heretics was manifested in a curious encounter with an heretical stylite, or pillar-saint, in which the heretic is said to have been converted by the miraculous passing of the patriarch's robes, unconsumed, through the ordeal of fire. He condemned, in a synod at Antioch, those who attempted to revive the obnoxious sentiments of Origen; and wrote various treatises against the Nestorians, Eutychians, Severians, and Acephali, and in defence of the Council of Chalcedon. But, toward the close of his life, he was obliged by the Emperor Justinian, under a threat of deposition, to subscribe the condemnation of three of the decrees of the Council of Chalcedon, which he had hitherto so earnestly supported, Facundus of Hermia, the strenuous advocate of the condemned

What a wonderfully perfect time I had at The Attic's 2012 Sampler Symposium! It has always been a dream of mine to visit this sampler oasis in the desert, so when Jean invited me to present a workshop there, I couldn't email my RSPV fast enough.
For those of you who have never had the pleasure of being there in person, here is a glimpse of what the shop looks like…
Tracy Riffle of Hands to Work fell in love with this one, by Midsummer Night's Designs…
Everywhere you look, you can find samplers with their Attic silk conversions next to them…
I love the details around the shop…
This is My Handworke, stitched by Jean on 45 count!
Half of The Scarlett House's Hannah Tingey, up close (one of my favorites)…
This one is by Threads of Gold…
This was the shop's gorgeous collection of sampler books, right behind a rack of Scarlet Letter charts…
And there was the most beautiful collection of fibers, everywhere one looked! To the east…
To the west…
The the south…
And to the north…
Another sweet design by The Scarlett House (this is Maddie Button)…
Here's another look at Sarah Munday, pictured above…
And still more samplers…
Here's a very small fraction of The Attic's gorgeous moulding selection…
I'll close with a photo of a sweet little bird, but I'll be back tomorrow with more photos from the shop and the Symposium. I hope you enjoyed this virtual tour so far!
I'm off to stitch my guts out now. 😉
Ahem. This is a very very dangerous post. You need to put up warnings asap. lol! Ok, so where’s the shot of the whole sampler of Sarah Munday? I love the verse on it — I need it! But then I need a whole bunch of the samplers I saw in this post. like I said. Dangerous post……
Oh my!!!!!!!! I have never seen anything quite so spectacular!!!! Cannot wait for tomorrow’s post!!!!
Like Margaret said…..this is a very dangerous post!!!!!
OH!! I wish I hadn’t looked at your post for the day! Now I want to go for a visit and get all of those gorgeous sampler charts!!
Oh Wow!! I wish we had such a shop in the Netherlands!!! Or maybe, it’s better not 🙂
Greetings from Debby
Thanks so much for the tour! I look forward to the next part.
amy ( sew~amy)
wow. What a fabulous shop. Thank you for sharing, I can’t wait for the next post.
Kristen from MA
Oh Paulette, I’m drooling at the sight of your gorgeous pictures! Can’t wait to see more!
I haven’t had any stitching mojo in a month and by golly I think you’ve pushed me into a flying needle fit. I do have one question…The sampler with the “naked” mermaid – who’s the designer of THAT? That’s something the, ahem, boyfriend would like, I’m afraid. 🙂
Amazing post, Paulette. Thank you for sharing, and looking forward to part 2!
Thanks for sharing such wonderful pictures Paulette! I would love to go to that shop:)
Laurie in Iowa
Wonderful post… can’t wait for tomorrow’s post.
Yummy! Sampler smorgasbord! Lovely pictures, makes me want to dive into my stitching.
All I can say is OMG!
Wow e wow wow. This post brought on a hot flash and I didn’t even interrupt my staring to dry off or throw something. Can’t wait to see more!
You should have posted a warning above this post, that viewing may cause breathing problems. OH MY GOSH. I have dreamed of going to The Attic for years, and now I have even more reasons to want to go! I love that Sarah Munday sampler! Gorgeous post and pics, Paulette!
Oh Paulette what absolutely AMAZING pictures! Makes me wish I could stitch like a sewing machine… whrrrrrrrrr. I was absolutely in awe of what you photographed. Looking forward to seeing more. 🙂 Cathryn
Wow! What an amazing place! Thanks for sharing these photos Paulette.
What a fun weekend and I love this post, the shop is just fantabulous isn’t it???
What a beautiful shop! Who stitched all of those models? It makes my little shop look rather quaint! I’m glad you had such a great time there. Wow. I’m not envious…….
I had heard about the shop from some friends who visited it but had no idea of the extent of samplers within. Absolutely amazing!! And all that floss….. this must be heaven! Thank you so much for sharing all of this with us. I’ve spotted some samplers that I’ve added to my wish list. Your photos of the models show the gorgeous colours off so well. I’m liking that Midsummer Night Design one but I think my favourite is Elizabeth Barrat.
♥ marylin ♥
oh my goodness !!!!!!…… Paradis …
Great pictures, Paulette !!! I want to be back at the Attic just by looking at them. I see you got a picture of my favorite corner. LOL !!
No doubt about it, Jean is one WONDERFUL lady with one AMAZING shop.
Those pictures make me want to hop on the next plane to Arizona!
Oh wow! That looks like a FUN store!
What is the red sampler? It is spirit of…can’t quite make out the rest of the name.
Thank you so much for the fantastic tour of the Attic – how wonderful it must be to have shops like that to visit. Even our small shops are closing down.

BAKED CINNAMON APPLE SLICES (ROBIN'S)
10 large apples, peeled, cored and sliced (I like Granny Smith, but use whatever type of baking apple you like!)
2 t. cinnamon
1 c. brown sugar
2 t. lemon juice
1 dash salt
1 dash nutmeg
Place sliced apples in a mixing bowl and gently mix all the ingredients together. Lightly grease a (1 1/2-2 quart) casserole dish with cooking spray. Place apple mixture in casserole dish and bake, covered, for 45-50 minutes at 350°. Stir every 15 minutes or so. Once apples are soft, cook for another few minutes to allow the cinnamon sauce to thicken.

The first Record Store Day of the year is set for this Saturday, April 19, when record shops across the country will carry limited edition vinyl releases as a means of luring customers into their stores. And there’s a nice selection of rarities from Pacific Northwest artists this time around:
Nirvana, “Pennyroyal Tea,” 7-inch single (DGC/UMe) “Pennyroyal Tea” was set to be the third single release from Nirvana’s “In Utero” album. It was cancelled after Kurt Cobain’s death, not least because the single’s B-side was “I Hate Myself and Want to Die.” The Record Store Day reissue utilizes the original artwork planned for the single.
Soundgarden, “Superunknown: The Singles,” box of five 10-inch EPs (A&M/UMe) June 2014 will be the 20th anniversary of Soundgarden’s “Superunknown,” the band’s only album to top the charts. In advance of that release, this box set serves up a preview: 22 tracks, including live versions of “Jesus Christ Pose” and “Fell on Black Days,” a demo of “Birth Ritual,” and a Steve Fisk remix of “Spoonman.”
Mudhoney, “On Top,” 12-inch LP (Sub Pop) One of the most extraordinary performances in Seattle music history had to be July 11, 2013, when Mudhoney played a ten song set on top of the Space Needle in honor of Sub Pop’s 25th anniversary. KEXP documented the show for posterity, which features terrific versions of “Suck You Dry,” “Chardonnay,” and, of course, “Touch Me I’m Sick.”
The Jimi Hendrix Experience, “Live at Monterey,” 12-inch LP (Experience Hendrix/Legacy) A straight reissue of the album of the same name released in 2007, “Live at Monterey” documents the incendiary performance at the Monterey Pop Festival in June 1967 that made Jimi Hendrix a star in the U.S.
Heavens to Betsy, “Calculated,” 12-inch LP (Kill Rock Stars) Revered indie band Sleater-Kinney had its roots in the riot grrrl-era acts Excuse 17 (with Carrie Brownstein) and Heavens to Betsy (with Corin Tucker). Tucker’s distinctive battle cry is evident on the band’s sole album, laying the groundwork for future triumphs to come.
R.E.M., “Unplugged: The Complete 1991 and 2001 Sessions,” four 12-inch LPs (Rhino) R.E.M. was a natural choice for an “MTV Unplugged” session, and appeared on the show twice, in 1991 and 2001. The Young Fresh Fellows’ Scott McCaughey had joined the band as auxiliary guitarist for that second stint. This marks the first time both shows have been released, making this an especially desirable record for collectors.
The Minus Five, “Scott the Hoople in the Dungeon of Horror,” five 12-inch EPs (Yep Roc) McCaughey heads up this band whose revolving cast of characters has included Peter Buck (R.E.M.), Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow (the Posies) and Bill Rieflin (Ministry). This set draws on previously unreleased material recorded over the last two years.
David Lynch, “The Air Is On Fire,” 12-inch LP (Sacred Bones Records) The one-time NW resident who went on to become of America’s most acclaimed experimental directors has also made side forays into photography, fine art, and music. This release features the music he composed to provide an atmospheric soundtrack for a 2007 retrospective exhibit of his work in Paris, and is as dreamy and unsettling as his film work.
Caspar Babypants, “Bonus Beatles,” 7-inch EP (Grimtale Records) Even toddlers can into some Record Store Day action with seven-song release (on yellow vinyl) by Chris Ballew, as recorded by his kid-friendly alter-ego Caspar Babypants. The song selection has such offbeat choices as “Piggies” and “Tomorrow Never Knows.” Easy Street Records in West Seattle will be the only store to carry the item.
Over 20 area stores are participating in Record Store Day, including East Street Records, Jive Time Records, Spin Cycle Records, and Silver Platters; for a full listing, check the Record Store Day website. After you’ve scoured the bins, head over to Georgetown Records (1201 S. Vale) at 6:30 p.m. for a special GRAMMY Breakout Sessions panel, when producers Steve Fisk and Jack Endino will discuss the records that most influenced them. Sub Pop Records co-founder Bruce Pavitt will also be on hand to DJ.

There has been no shortage of celebrity spouting recently regarding the Second Amendment. Chris Rock, Tony Bennett, and Amanda Peet made their views known in Washington last week. Bruce Willis, who knows a thing or two about baring arms, told anyone who would listen at the Associated Press, "I think that you can't start to pick apart anything out of the Bill of Rights without thinking that it's all going to become undone. If you take one out or change one law, then why wouldn't they take all your rights away from you?" Jim Carrey shared his thoughts on the issue via Twitter. "Any1 who would run out to buy an assault rifle after the Newtown massacre has very little left in their body or soul worth protecting," he wrote. After Fox News criticized the actor, he wrote Tuesday, "Yes, i agree with the ppl who argue that cars can be as deadly as guns but a car is a lot harder to get through the door of a classroom."
But talk is cheap, after all. It takes true dedication to put your trigger finger where your mouth is. Steven Seagal wasn't just shooting his mouth off when he offered to lend his expertise to train the posses that Maricopa County sheriff Joe Arpaio wants to deploy around Phoenix-area schools. Mister Seagal wanted to help with the exercise planned for last Saturday at a closed school site in suburban
Fountain Hills outside Phoenix. The Sheriff's SWAT members will act as
shooters and twenty-five teenagers will play the part of students during mock
scenarios involving up to three gunmen. Joe would eventually like to get three thousand god-fearing, gun-toting citizens trained up for an armed presence Seagal is already a volunteer posse member in Maricopa County,
and has been deputized with sheriff's offices in New Mexico, Texas and
Louisiana, where a film crew followed the actor on ride-alongs with
Jefferson Parish sheriff's deputies for the reality TV show "Steven Seagal: Lawman."
Sheriff Joe would also like us to know that Mission: Impossible's Peter Lupus has also volunteered, as has gamma ray enhanced Lou Ferrigno. I'm sure it comes as a comfort to the citizens of Phoenix to know that they are being protected by at least one member of the Impossible Mission Force and one of the Avengers.
Sleep tight, Maricopa County.


Noel Fielding might be one of the UK's most popular TV presenters – but when it comes to his home life, the star is notoriously private.
So, fans were understandably delighted when he shares a rare post about his family this week, in particular his eldest daughter Dali.
WATCH: Prue Leith makes rare appearance with her daughter on Good Morning Britain
Noel, 49, shares two little girls, Dali and Iggy, with his longterm partner, radio DJ Lliana Bird.
The couple have chosen to keep their daughters out of the spotlight and, as such, do not share photos of them on social media.
But Noel did give a sweet insight into his eldest child on Wednesday, revealing she shares her parents' artistic flair.
Noel shared a photo taken by his daughter Dali
"My 4 year old daughter Dali took this picture!" he explained, alongside a photo showing him pulling a face while looking down the camera.
"I kind of love it even though i look like a melted, deranged Chevy Chase in that Paul Simon video. x [crying laughing emoji] x."
Followers were quick to respond – including Lliana, who joked: "She's captured your essence perfectly."
Noel and Lliana started dating around 2010
"Artist like her father!" one fan remarked, while a second stated: "It's perfect! Great work, Dali!" A third said of Noel's description: "That's exactly what that look is!"
Noel and Lliana – who started dating around 2010 – welcomed Dali in 2018 followed by her little sister Iggy in August 2020.
A short time after Dali's arrival, Noel appeared on The Jonathan Ross Show during which he spoke about his first experience of fatherhood.
The happy couple share two daughters together
"I don't know how that happened, look at my pointy visage!" he joked. "She is very beautiful and she blows my mind about a hundred times a day.
"It's a new level of tiredness that I've never experienced. I've done a lot of all-nighters in my life. In a way I've been in training for this moment all my life."

This is the Upper Niagara River. The maximum width of the river is 8500 feet at Buffalo/Fort Erie and it narrows to about 1500 feet at Squaw Island below the Peace Bridge, in Buffalo. What is strange, is that researching the widest river in the US and the world, there were so many claiming to be the widest. I could not get a consensus on just one answer for each, but the Niagara River is nowhere near the widest. When you see the image above, it does look like a lake instead.
The view above and below is looking at the Grand Island Bridge to the largest island in the Niagara River at 27 square miles. The largest island in the world appears to be Greenland at 822,706 square miles. I lived on Grand Island when I first moved to New York.
The 35 mile long river is not actually a river because it connects two bodies of water and it is often referred to as a strait. It connects Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, flowing north. Many different professions have been interested in The Niagara River, from geologists, artists, historians, archaeologists, botanists, mechanics, and electricians.
The longest river in the world is not too surprising. It is the Nile at around 4,160 miles. I say about because it appears no one can agree on this either. And oddly enough, they can not agree on the length of the short Niagara River either. Some had it listed at 22 miles long and these came from sources that should actually know.

BASKETBALL COACH AT BUCKS CO. CATHOLIC SCHOOL FIRED AFTER GAY ATTACK
Fran McGinn, an assistant basketball coach at Archbishop Wood High School in Warminster, had his contract terminated Wednesday because of his alleged involvement in a brutal attack on two gay men Sunday in Center City. The Daily News‘ Vinny Vella has the scoop — the 25-year-old McGinn was with other former Wood students who allegedly participated in the attack near Rittenhouse Square. “We expect all those who work with students in our schools to model appropriate Christian behavior at all times,” an Archdiocese of Philadelphia spokesman told Vella. While no arrests have yet been made, several “persons of interest” are being interviewed by police. But don’t call it a hate crime — under state law, there’s no way prosecutors can bring that kind of charge.
#OHSHIT: RARE RESPIRATORY VIRUS ARRIVES IN PHILLY
It’s called enterovirus, and it first surfaced in Missouri in August. It looks like a cold, with symptoms like a runny nose, fever, and coughing. But for those vulnerable – especially kids with athsma – it can mean intense hospitalization. So how do you fight it? Wash hands with soap and water (avoid hand sanitizers) and cough into your elbows. And hope this sucker goes away soon.
AND THEN THERE WERE THREE: EX-D.A. LYNNE ABRAHAM TO RUN FOR MAYOR
This spring’s Democratic primary for Philly mayor is heating up, with five-time-District Attorney Lynne Abraham throwing her hat into the ring. The field already includes Terry Gillen and city solicitor Ken Trujillo. In a nice touch, when Abraham told The Inquirer’s Claudia Vargas “I’m probably the only one who has the experience [to tackle] the most difficult problems facing the city,” Vargas followed up with a version of “what problems?” and Abraham declined to name any. Womp womp.

THIS PENN PROF WON A MACARTHUR ‘GENIUS’ GRANT

She was one of 21 winners of a 5-year, $625,000 grant from the MacArthur Foundation.

From the article:
Soviet Red Army tank units often had a battery of these self-propelled guns attached for added firepower against enemy infantry and guns. The 76mm gun of the BT-7A artillery tank provided the ideal firepower for this work. This modification of the BT-7 fast tank mounted a short 76mm howitzer that fired a powerful high-explosive round. While the other BT fast tanks would deal with the enemy tanks, the BT-7A artillery tank would knock out anti-tank guns and defending infantry.

“Perhaps no change in our society has affected learning more than the advent of computer technology,” says Don Nielsen, Program Chair of the American Center for Transforming Education and author of Every School: One Citizen’s Guide to Transforming Education.
How we implement and train on the use of technology within the classroom is an hot topic in education. Nielsen states, “Neither the infrastructure of our schools nor the competency of our teaching corps is keeping pace with this new phenomenon.” (Superintendent Doug Brubaker of Fort Smith, Oklahoma, makes a similar point in a recent Education Week article here.
Nielsen states in his updated version of Every School, “Across sectors, adopting new technology is the easy part. Much more difficult is implementing those tools smartly, learning how to use them well, taking care of them over time, and evaluating whether they’re actually effective. When the former consistently happens, but the latter does not, people are bound to roll their eyes at promises that “innovation” will bring about dramatic improvements.”
Their skepticism is warranted. With the influx in cash, schools can purchase new and innovative technology. However, without placing these new technologies in the right hands with the proper setup, the outcome will fall short of the goal and leave schools with unusable equipment, disadvantaged students, and unresponsive staff.
Nielsen draws from the Los Angeles schools experience in 2013 in which the district provided an iPad to each student: “There have been questions about the exact cost of individual devices, students’ demonstrated ability to circumvent the security filters on the tools—and questions about the readiness of [the] curriculum…that is designed to be embedded in the devices.” In the end, the entire program was terminated and described as a “total failure” by the Los Angeles Times.
In order to successfully employ technology, schools need to look deeper into teacher training, assessment, and student preparation. As Superintendent Brubaker suggests, “Sometimes, you end up going further if you moderate your pace a little bit and make sure you’re really bringing people along with you.”
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) are an example of how technology can be successfully used in the classroom. Nielsen argues that “MOOCs provide the opportunity for a single gifted teacher to reach thousands of students, thereby enhancing their effectiveness and dramatically reducing the cost to the students or the government.” Nielsen continues, “Videos of gifted teachers applying their craft with real students provide an excellent training opportunity for new teachers.”
The assessment of student learning also needs to be addressed. Currently we do not good measures for what students have learned; we tend to measure only a student’s capacity to memorize. Nielsen believes that technology can enable better assessments of student learning: “incorporate continuous testing as a student moves through material, it will be possible to ensure learning and eliminate the high stakes testing…employing technology as an integral part of the educational curriculum will make that possible.”
Finally, students must be equipped to use these new technologies. As Nielsen points out, “These children will need a smaller class, more individualized attention, specific instruction on using technology and a longer school day and school year before they can be expected to catch up with their peers,” Nielsen states. Or as Brubaker nicely summarizes, “You can’t buy things without looking into the future.”

text: Fellow inmate says Yates offered tips on how to feign mental illness HOUSTON (AP) -- Andrea Yates once advised a fellow inmate that she could escape prosecution by pretending to be mentally ill and persuading a psychiatrist she suffered from serious disorders, according to court documents filed Thursday by prosecutors. Felicia Doe, who spent four days in a jail block with Yates in 2002, told prosecutors last year that Yates instructed her not to eat, not to speak properly and not to be friendly or open in front of people if she wanted to "beat her case." Yates, who is awaiting a new trial in the drowning of her young children, allegedly said "if you could get the jail psychiatrist on your side, they could testify to your mental health, and they couldn't prosecute you if you were sick," according to the documents, which describe interviews with witnesses who could be called during Yates' trial. Yates' defense attorney, George Parham, called the account "sad and ludicrous." "That is absolutely so bogus, it doesn't even deserve a response," he said. "That discounts the medications that this woman was on, the mental illness she suffers from." Yates, 41, has pleaded innocent by reason of insanity. During her 2002 trial, psychiatrists testified Yates suffered from schizophrenia and postpartum depression, but expert witnesses disagreed over the severity of her illness. A jury rejected Yates' original insanity defense and sentenced her to life in prison for the drowning of three of her five children ages 7, 5 and 6 months. Her convictions were overturned last year based on false testimony by an expert witness.

About This Book
The Routledge Handbook of the History of Settler Colonialism examines the global history of settler colonialism as a distinct mode of domination from ancient times to the present day. It explores the ways in which new polities were established in freshly discovered 'New Worlds', and covers the history of many countries, including Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Japan, South Africa, Liberia, Algeria, Canada, and the USA.
Chronologically as well as geographically wide-reaching, this volume focuses on an extensive array of topics and regions ranging from settler colonialism in the Neo-Assyrian and Roman empires, to relationships between indigenes and newcomers in New Spain and the early Mexican republic, to the settler-dominated polities of Africa during the twentieth century. Its twenty-nine inter-disciplinary chapters focus on single colonies or on regional developments that straddle the borders of present-day states, on successful settlements that would go on to become powerful settler nations, on failed settler colonies, and on the historiographies of these experiences.
Taking a fundamentally international approach to the topic, this book analyses the varied experiences of settler colonialism in countries around the world. With a synthesizing yet original introduction, this is a landmark contribution to the emerging field of settler colonial studies and will be a valuable resource for anyone interested in the global history of imperialism and colonialism.

LVHS drum ready to rock competition
NEWARK - Drum line isn't just for football season for students at Licking Valley High School as they prepare for Saturday's winter drum line and guard competition at the high school.
Twenty-four color guards and 12 drum lines are scheduled to perform throughout the day, starting at 3 p.m. in either the scholastic or independent category.
"It's kind of the rock and roll version of a marching band concert," said Sean Bradley, LVHS director of bands. "It's something that you need to experience at least once."
Senior Caitlyn Blecha, a member of both groups, said the experience is helping her grow as a performer.
"It's different from marching band and guard in the fall," she said. "There's a bit more of a challenge here because there aren't any lines, we march and perform on a black tarp."
She said she likes that there is more room for the guard members to dance and toss their flags and drum line members' visuals.
The theme for this year's performance is metal, which the drum line has incorporated into their sound as well as their sights.
"The cymbal players are going to be building stuff out of metal," Blecha said. "We'll start playing chimes, then go build, then go play cymbals again."
She said the tenor players will hang their drums on the frame, then play them and play the frame themselves. Blecha added that they might not be doing that for this weekend's performance, but it is in their plan for championships.
For sophomore Aaron Tritt, drum line is a chance for the percussion to be the focus of the performance.
"I like that it's based around the percussion," he said. "In marching band, the drum line is in the back of field a lot, so with winter drum line, we're closer and we can do more visually."
Tritt added he plans on performing in the drum line until he graduates as well as perform in an independent group.
"The theme this year is really cool," he said. "It's cool to see what music you can make with everyday objects."
Aubrey Fisher's main instrument is normally the alto saxophone, but for drum line she performs in the pit.
"It was easy to transition from playing the piano," she said. "I just love the sound of (the music) we create. When it all comes together, it's like a concert piece without the wind instruments."
Out of her four years as a member of the drum line, this year's performance is Fisher's favorite so far.
"The piece starts with the glockenspiel, which is different," she said. "Normally you would start with marimbas or the keyboards, but the glocks have metal keys, so that fits the theme a little better."
Fisher added winter drum line is a good example of how music brings people together.
"It's like basketball or football, we're one big family," she said.
Bradley said his group only has ten real percussionists of the drum line's 31 participants, so it offers students an opportunity to play more.
"It's one of the coolest things we do in band," he said. "The competitions aren't like normal concerts, the crowd can interact with the band. You'll get hooked as soon as you see it live."

Jordan is a country which is rich in history and culture. The distance between Petra and Amman can take upto an hours drive but once you reach each city, you begin to see a different aspect of life and living. Petra is home to thousands of Jordanian people who live on the hills surrounding the main point of interest (Al Khazneh). However, once you enter the small historic sandstone city reaching Al Khazneh, you begin to see Bedouins living in huts and caves. A guess this has been the tradition for centuries. As part of my Jordan trip, I also did a separate blog on Wadi Rum Valley which was one my memorable visits to Jordan.Check it out here.
So here are my 5 Awsome Reasons Why YOU Should Visit Jordan.
1. Wonders of the World
The first thing that struck me about Petra/Al Khazneh was the huge curved sandstones surrounding a path leading towards the monument. The feeling is spectacular and every step of the way you begin to admire and question "how did they create this? who lived here? what do these signs mean?''.
The entrance to Al Khazneh was around 30 mins walk whilst taking pictures, but i'm sure you can complete the walk in a much shorter time.
As we approached the last narrow cave, I began to see a shed of light. The closer we got the adrenaline got stronger. Within the last few metres, we saw a partial view of Al Khazneh and heard crowds of people. This was it! I travelled thousands of miles to see this historic architecture and I was lost for words. The size of the pillars and doorway look like a giants house, something out of a movie. I can honestly say, this was the best moment ever in my life and I would happily make a second return to see it again.
• A historic location which is well taken care of.
• Food places to eat and local stalls nearby.
• 'Petra By Night' had a good vibe and great opening ceremony.
• Hotels are a two minute walk and easily accessible.
• Too many bedouin tour guides approaching you which can get frustrating.
• Not enough signs to direct tourist towards certain locations and historic sites.
2. The Deep Valleys
While we were driving from Petra to Wadi Rum, we approached numerous hills and eventually the valley. Driving around the valley was a phenomenal experience. You could feel your ears pop going up hill and with safety barriers on the side, we still felt nervous.
We followed our trusted Google Maps but had no idea what type of roads lie beyond us. I suggest mapping out before hand the route you plan to take as this might be a lot easier and make sure your car is fit to drive over numerous potholes, humps and ditches along the way.
3. Is the Dead Sea Really Salty?
Yes indeed it is. The taste of it is absolutely awful! While I was taking advantage of floating, I decided to rotate my body around so I could put my feet to the ground but in doing so I fell straight into the water and my gosh, I was in pain for almost an hour! The high density in salt is very dangerous to your body especially if you swallow it so I don't recommend laying flat at all.
My first impression of the Dead Sea looked beautiful especially from the view at the top of the cliff. As you get closer you see families and couples just casually relaxing at the edge of the Sea. We stayed at Dead Sea Resort for 2 nights and while this was one of the best hotels in the area, the Dead Sea beach was unoccupied by a life guard.
Once I got in, I found the water to be quite dirty containing lots of small branches and debris. Then again, I wasn't going to complain knowing I'm in the Dead Sea right? The feeling of being cleansed in great, just covering my self in Dead Sea mud then washing it away with sea's natural salt. Once I got out, I felt ten times more refreshed then in the shower! Great experience. I even managed to bring some Dead Sea Salt back with me and use it till this day. Dead Sea is not far from the Hot Springs so if you ever get the chance, take a visit.
The Dead Sea from a distance looks absolutely stunning. The water looks sky blue and you can see Palestine and Israel from a distance. The drive along the coast gives you a clear view on the Dead Sea and this is great for travellers to just stop and admire the view. The long stretched road leading to our hotel took around 30 mins from the moment you see the Sea. Driving along this route is great but be patient and you can find great opportunities for photos..
• A great way to get cleansed using the mud provided.
• Friendly environment with polite tourists.
• The water is a little dirty with plastic bags, bottles and branches.
• No life guards.
4. Street Culture Will Keep You Bargaining
The street culture in Jordan is fascinating. The vibrant fast atmosphere with lots of market stalls is truly a reflection of the past and Middle East. With Technology and Real Estate dominating the Middle East, what admired me the most about Jordan was the traditions and values it still holds. Just as I was passing by in Amman, I saw a number of market stalls and shop owners welcoming me to their shop. They knew straight away I was a tourist but the warm welcome really makes you feel at home.
5. Fancy A Refreshing Shower In The Hot Springs?
The Ma'in Hot Springs near the Dead Sea came up on my to do list during my prior research of Jordan. The waterfall is super hot and is completely safe to have a dip in. What I enjoyed about the Hot Springs was the feeling of a natural Jacuzzi just and the recognising the benefits of cleansing your body. The pool was super busy and many families come from everywhere to visit but once you have claimed the right spot in the pool, sit back and enjoy the hot bath!
The Ma'in Hot Springs is situated in Wadi Zarqa-Ma'in. It took around 30 mins from the Dead Sea to reach and is located between Madaba and the Sea. The uphill route you will has some breathtaking scenery. The route goes up the mountain allowing you to see the full view of the Dead Sea and nearby countries such as Palestine and Israel.
• Refreshing (non drinkable water) that cleanses your body.
• Has some stunning views along the way.
• The water temperature is hot.
• Can get crowded with lots of men. They should divide the area for Men and Women and sign post this.
• Facilities such as toilets and changing places need cleaning and maintaining.
• Car parking can get difficult.
Overall, the Hot Springs has a lot of potential and being located remotely within the mountains, this does not stop visitors from enjoying the experience. To be honest, I enjoyed the drive there and would definitely visit Hot Springs again.
On the way back from Ma'in Hot Springs, we stopped off at a view point. The cliff had a perfect view of the Dead Sea and whilst being quite high up, I still felt safe as there was no cliff but rocks gradually declining down. Great view point if you ever get a chance to drive towards Ma'in Hot Springs near Madaba.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: |
Vol. III: Chapter I: Century 1910
by Alan Moore, Kevin O'Neill (Top Shelf, 2009)
Century 1910 is the first installment of the third volume of Alan Moore's ongoing series. Three originals League members from the first two volumes -- Mina Harker, Allan Quartermain and Orlando -- are in Edwardian London to try and defeat a long-plotted Satanic cult's plan to unleash the apocalypse.
Considering that this story is the first in a three-part series, it's perhaps understandably light on plot; unfortunately, it's also light on characterization, intrigue and understandable references. From characters to events, Moore packs so many references into these pages that the narrative sinks under the weight, crowding out any chance to get to know characters that should be more interesting.
A seer named Carnacki is picking up some very nasty rumblings from the future. An apocalypse is being orchestrated by a cult that is trying to bring about the creation of a Moonchild, a Damien-from-The Omen kind of scion of Satan. The League, still members of the British secret police, tries to sort out clues from the incredibly vague bits and pieces of Carnacki's vision. As all this is happening, Janni Nemo, the daughter of Captain Nemo, has argued with her father about taking over the family business. She leaves to make her way in the real world, working as a server in a dockside pub. In the background, Jack the Ripper, aka Jack MacHeath, is back in the news and under investigation by the League, all while they are trying to fend off Armageddon.
These plot strands weave together in a story that culminates in an explosion that sets the stage for the next installments.
In spite of the literary mash-ups and the dense historical and artistic references, the story quickly gets lost. The dense narrative is not fleshed out in a way that encourages emotional investment in either the characters or the story. The pace is further slowed by too many parallel visions and disparate storylines that constantly vector the plot and unnecessary, very cliched graphic violence.
O'Neill's art saves the story just enough to keep it interesting, if only visually so. Moore has created a vast, boundary-pushing territory, peopled with characters that have in the past been quite captivating; that alone is promise enough for the future issues.

Title: International forest-related climate finance Commissioned by: German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) as part of the International Climate Initiative (IKI) Co-funded by: Norway's International Climate and Forest Initiative Countries: Global Overall term: 2018 to 2021
The enormous importance of forestry and land use activities in the mitigation of climate change is undisputed. Natural climate solutions could provide up to 37 per cent of the cost-efficient mitigation measures required globally by 2030, with forests offering the greatest potential.
The New York Declaration on Forests (NYDF) is a joint international framework to halt natural forest loss by 2030, develop ‘deforestation-free’ supply chains and restore degraded and deforested lands.
The need to take action to protect forests is also anchored in the Paris Agreement and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (particularly SDG15 ‘Life on Land’). Many countries and initiatives are already taking important steps in this regard.
However, global deforestation continues to advance and the public funding to reduce deforestation does not do justice to the possibilities for climate protection in the area of forestry and land use.
The topic of international forest and climate finance is therefore becoming increasingly important on the global agenda. There is an urgent need for focused and better coordinated action at international level.
For this reason, in 2015 Germany, Norway and the United Kingdom (the Germany-Norway-United Kingdom (GNU) Initiative) agreed to further expand their cooperation efforts with other governments and the private sector to increase the funding for forests until 2020 and beyond.
The effectiveness of forest-related climate finance is enhanced and capacities for the targeted implementation of forest and climate protection measures are strengthened in selected tropical forest countries.
In close coordination with the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU), the project supports increased effectiveness of forest-related climate finance. It fosters potential and capacity in partner countries in order to reduce emissions. To this end, it follows three lines of action. Firstly, the strategic positioning of the topic at international level is to be improved and progress made in mobilising private climate finance. Secondly, relevant actors are to be coordinated with the aim of achieving both effective implementation of forest-related climate finance and the objectives of NYDF. Thirdly, selected measures are to be used to make the implementation of forest-related climate finance more effective. Improved coordination of key climate finance donors and knowledge transfer from the project activities to international initiatives aim to strengthen ambitious climate protection through forests.
Thanks to the support of BMU during the planning and implementation of international events, the topic of financing nature-based solutions and the importance of international forest-related climate finance were highlighted in dialogues.
At the request of the GNU Initiative, extensive background analyses have been created and technical events with leading global experts organised on topics such as financing instruments, carbon standards, measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) systems, REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) and emissions trading systems.
The Accountability Framework initiative (AFi) was supported with developing the first standardised accountability framework which lays down standards and guidelines for defining, implementing and demonstrating progress in deforestation-free supply chains in agriculture and forestry. This will help to improve the reporting and monitoring of commitments from the private sector (NYDF Goal 2).
Support was provided for the establishment of a new international forest-related climate finance instrument, the single donor trust fund ‘Acceleration of Implementation for REDD+ in Africa’, (which BMU supported with EUR 15 million) in December 2018.
