We hear and hear mention
of the World Economic
Forum in Davos and we ask
ourselves: What is done there
that has such an impact?
The Davos World Economic
Forum is an annual meeting
held in Davos, Switzerland,
where businessmen, politicians,
civil society, and entrepreneurs
attend to analyze
the global economic situation
in the face of the challenges it
faces at the time it’s celebrates.
The founder of this organization
is the German Klaus
Schwab, Engineer and Economist
born in 1938; he holds
a Summa Cum Laude PhD in
Economics from the University
of Freiburg, a PhD in Engineering
from the Swiss Federal
Institute of Technology, and a
Master of Public Administration
from Harvard University.
In 1971 he founded the
European Business Administration
Forum, which became
the World Economic Forum in
1987. The Forum is a nonprofit
Foundation. The Forum
is recognized by Switzerland as
an international organization.
The Forum has offices in Tokyo,
Beijing, and New York. It
has a website: www.weforum.org
According to Schwab, companies
must serve all stakeholders,
not just shareholders;
This is his basic thought.
Society must receive benefits
from companies, not just
shareholders. His principle
is: The economics of the
interested parties. He is recognized as the creator of
the concept of the Fourth
Industrial Revolution.
Society and business relationships
are already different.
“This Fourth Industrial
Revolution is, however, fundamentally
different, according
to Schwab. It’s characterized
by a range of new technologies
that are merging the physical,
digital, and biological worlds,
impacting all disciplines,
economies and industries, and
even challenging ideas about
what it means to be human. In
this sense we can talk about
aspects such as the Internet of
things, biotechnology and new
modes of production that tend
towards greater robotization
and integration of knowledge
from different branches with
technology as fundamental
aspects of this revolution.” Who
is Klaus Schwab and what have been his
contributions to the economy? 09/02/2020
https://muyfinanciero.com/biografias/economistas/
klaus-schwab/
We are living in a world that is
like the one Schwab describes:
new modes of production with
their robotization and technologies
that merge different
worlds and act on different
knowledge. Let’s see what this
last Forum held from January 15 to 19, 2024 was about.
The 1000 companies associated
with the Forum, 100 governments,
experts and leaders
of society were present.The
theme of this Forum was Rebuilding
trust.
“Davos 2024 is the 54th
annual meeting of the World
Economic Forum. Under the
theme Rebuilding Trust, the
meeting aims to restore collective
agency and reinforce
the fundamental principles of
transparency, coherence, and
accountability among leaders”.

is coming and what to expect- 03/01/2024
https://es.weforum.org/agenda/2024/01/
davos-2024-quien-viene-y-que-esperar/
The Forum was held with 4
basic themes:
1. Achieve security and
cooperation in a fractured
world. Identify the areas in
which cooperation is necessary to achieve a scenario in which
everyone benefits.
2. Create growth and employment
for a new era. Since
traditional measures seem to
fail to achieve ways to maximize
synergies and minimize
trade-offs.
3. Artificial intelligence as
a driver of the economy and
society. The use of artificial intelligence
for the benefit of all.
4. A long-term strategy for
climate, nature, and energy.
The way to achieve a social
consensus for nature in 2050.
The conclusions can be
identified with the following
concepts.
1. Leaders must join forces.
2. Projections are not destiny.
3. Humans are going to have
better tools.
4. Urgency is our only salvation.

davos-2024-quien-viene-y-que-esperar/
Given the participation of
world leaders, the United Nations
Organization, UN, also
had its participant who was
his Secretary General, António
Guterres. In his speech, the UN
Secretary General let us know
that: “In the face of serious,
even existential, threats posed
by runaway climate chaos
and runaway development of Artificial Intelligence without
guardrails, we seem powerless
to act”. UN - Davos 2024: Discurso
especial de António Guterres de la ONU |
Foro Económico Mundial (weforum.org)
01/17/2024
What we are experiencing
goes beyond the limits of any
reasoning; We see everywhere
the consequences of the use
of fossil fuels, hunger, hate
speech and misinformation,
which is why the theme of Forum
2024 was Rebuilding trust.
He also said that: “The fossil
fuel industry just launched
another multibillion-dollar
campaign to slow progress
and keep oil and gas flowing
indefinitely”. UN - Davos 2024:
Discurso especial de António Guterres de la
ONU | Foro Económico Mundial (weforum.
org) 01/17/2024
He also tells us that there is
no global strategy for the use
of Artificial Intelligence, only
economic benefit. We must
add disinformation and hate
speech, topics that the UN has
previously dealt with.
What can we ask ourselves
is the reason why everything is
in the conditions in which we
live? Guterres says: “We see an
epidemic of impunity around
the world. We see some countries
doing whatever it takes to
promote their own interests at
all costs”. ONU - Davos 2024: Discurso
especial de António Guterres de la ONU |
Foro Económico Mundial (weforum.org)
01/17/2024 What we are experiencing
is more and more conflicts
because interests are more important
than human life, knowing
that for this to be possible
we need our planet Earth. The
UN, being aware of the way in
which The Sustainable Development
Goals are being achieved,
has a group of experts to
promote them. This group was
created on January 21, 2016.
The UN is also going to hold
an International Summit
on September 22 and 23, 2024,
the objective of which is to find
“Multilateral solutions for a better
tomorrow”. https://www.un.org/es/
summit-of-the-future
From what we worked on in
Davos we must ask ourselves:
Can we remain impassive
in a world with the needs
that are manifested?
Hate speech and misinformation
will not end by the
laws that are imposed because
the owners, who have great
fortunes, will look for a way to
continue making money; it will
end when human beings learn
to live with each other and give
value to knowing instead of
sinking the other and instead
of misinformation, relation
with the truth.
Science will continue
forward; human
beings will learn
from the results of
what they are doing
at this moment.
What we must do as a world,
as a society, is to study if
we want to have a satisfactory
existence.
Can we stay as if nothing
happened and believe that we
will have a chance at a job?
Could we obtain basic services?
You are carrying out a program
at Atlantic International
University (AIU), if you want
to change your life, you have
to study, only this way will it
be possible.

REDD+ est un mécanisme
international encadré par
les négociations internationales
sur le changement climatique
afin d’encourager les
pays en voie de développement
qui protègent et restaurent
leurs stocks de carbone forestier.
L’avènement de ce mécanisme
a rapidement poussé
les praticiens du domaine à
poser la problématique de la
gestion des données tant au
niveau mondial qu’à l’échelle
des pays.
(Alter, 1991) Un système
d’information est un ensemble
de composants interconnectés
qui travaillent ensemble pour
collecter, traiter, stocker et
diffuser des données dans un
but précis. Ces composants
peuvent inclure des matériels
(comme des ordinateurs, des
serveurs, des équipements de
stockage, etc.), des logiciels
(comme des systèmes d’exploitation,
des applications,
des bases de données, etc.)
et des données (comme des informations sur les clients,
les produits, les transactions,
etc.). Le but d’un système
d’information est d’aider les
entreprises et les organisations
à prendre des décisions
en fournissant des informations
précises et à jour. Cette
définition a le mérite de mettre
l’accent sur les quatre principaux
rôles joués par le SI et sur
les ressources déployées.
Nous souhaitons la compléter
par celle de (Reix et
Rowe, 2002): «Un système
d’information est un ensemble
d’acteurs sociaux qui mémorisent
et transforment des
représentations via des technologies
de l’information et
des modes opératoires».
1. Systèmes d’information
et REDD+
Un système national d’information
sur le REDD+ peut être
considéré un ensemble de procédures
et de ressources matérielles,
logicielles et humaines
en interaction pour traiter,
stocker et diffuser les données
relatives à l’inscription,
l’approbation, la validation et
le contrôle des projets dans le
but de produire une information
de qualité et en quantité
suffisante destinée à alimenter
les processus décisionnels
opérationnels et de pilotage de
la REDD+ mais aussi destinée à
un public diversifié.
Au coeur de ce système d’information
se trouve une base
de données centrale appelle
registre national REDD+. Il se
définit comme une infrastructure
électronique conçue pour
gérer de manière transparente,
fiable et efficiente les données
de la REDD+. C’est aussi
un répertoire public destiné à
recevoir l’information liée à
la procédure d’homologation
des projets REDD+ dont on
désire garder la trace afin d’en
attester l’exactitude.
2. Principes directeurs
des Systèmes d’information
REDD+
Principe 1: Un outil à base
documentaire relié aux activités
REDD+ sur le terrain
Il contient des données liées
à de l’inscription des projets
et de leurs partenaires mais
aussi prendrait en compte
les fiches PIN et les PDD des
projets ainsi que d’autres
éléments relatifs à l’approbation,
la validation et le
contrôle des projets REDD+.
Les étapes les plus déterminantes
sont matérialisées
dans le système par des
documents scannés à joindre
traduisant le besoin de
transparence et de consultation
des différentes parties
prenantes.
Principe 2: Un instrument
qui répond au besoin de
centraliser et d’informer
sur les financements drainés
par le REDD+
La procédure d’enregistrement
des projets REDD+ est
un bon moyen de collecte des
informations financière des
projets REDD+.
Principe 3: Une procédure
qui commence par l’inscription
du projet et de ses
partenaires
Le concept relativement
récent de la REDD+ impose le
besoin d’identification des
acteurs (afin de répondre à
la question du qui?) et des
projets (pour répondre à la
question du quoi?). La prise
en compte de ce principe par
le système d’information sur
la REDD+ contribue à doter
structure nationales de coordination
de base de données
d’acteurs et de projets REDD+.
Ce principe permet également
de vérifier le statut légal des
partenaires ainsi que l’origine
des fonds.
Principe 4: Une réponse
au besoin de transparence,
de fiabilité et de célérité
traduite par une mise en
ligne de la procédure d’inscription,
d’approbation, de
validation et de contrôle des
projets REDD+
Les promoteurs de projets
REDD+ sont de véritables
«artisans» des activités
visant à réduire des émissions
de gaz à effet de serre liées
à la déforestation, à réduire
des émissions de gaz à effet
de serre liées à la dégradation
forestière, à conserver des
stocks de carbone forestier, à
gérer durablement des stocks
de carbone forestier, et à accroitre
des stocks de carbone forestier. A ce titre, la transparence
est de mise pour les
promoteurs s’engageant dans
des activités de cette nature.
Les quatre principales étapes
à franchir sont l’inscription,
l’approbation, la validation
et les contrôles. L’ensemble
de ces étapes s’exécutent par
le biais des rôles savamment
répartis entre le promoteur
de projet, coordinations
nationales et éventuellement
une entité qui aura la charge
de l’encaissement des frais
d’enregistrement lorsqu’ils
existent.
Principe 5: Un instrument
simple avec une alternative
manuelle pour parer au
faible taux de pénétration
d’Internet dans certains
pays et aux éventuels problèmes
d’énergie électrique
La simplicité du système
automatisé basé sur Internet
doit résider dans une
conception qui se rattache aux
étapes évoquées au principe 4:
inscription, approbation, validation
et contrôle. La simplicité
sera aussi assurée par une
application informatique facile
à utiliser, donc avec des menus
programmés pour toutes
les fonctions rattachées aux
quatre étapes sus évoquées.
Afin de pallier au faible taux
de pénétration d’internet de
certains pays, une alternative
du système permettant
de travailler hors ligne est
en général la bienvenue. Ceci
évitera de réduire les périodes
d’opération des différents
acteurs sur le système.
Principe 6: Une fonction
de traçabilité active qui
tient une main courante
et informe de manière
progressive les acteurs
pré-identifiés sur le niveau
d’avancement de la
procédure
La chaîne d’inscription, d’approbation,
de validation et de
contrôle des projets REDD+
s’articule autour de plusieurs
acteurs qui méritent chacun
d’être informé de manière
progressive. Le porteur de
projet est informé aussitôt
sa demande de recevabilité
acceptée ou rejeté. Il en est de
même de sa demande d’approbation
ou de la validation
de ses performances.
La version automatisée de la
procédure des projets pilote
dispose d’un «agent programmé
» capable de délivrer des
messages en s’appuyant sur
une base de référence régissant
les destinataires desdits
messages à divers niveaux de
la procédure. D’où la nécessité
de garder la trace des messages
délivrés à l’endroit d’une
demande d’un projet.
La notion de traçabilité
active fait intervenir la notion
de temps qui doit permettre
de ne pas avoir des étapes ou
des sous-étapes qui durent
indéfiniment au risque de créer
des pesanteurs à la procédure.
Les sous étapes et les étapes
doivent disposer des délais
officiellement prescrits par la
procédure, avec des mesures
pour faire avancer la procédure.
Principe 7: Une procédure
déclarative et
responsabilisante
Le système offre la possibilité
au promoteur de projet
d’introduire par ses propres
soins les données de son projet
dans le système, ce qui le rend
responsable des données qu’il
publie. Au-delà, de l’initialisation
de la procédure qui est
faite par le promoteur de projet
REDD+, il y aura plusieurs
autres étapes de procédures
pour lesquelles l’intervention
du promoteur de projet REDD+
sera requise afin de faire avancer
la procédure.
Principe 8: Une structure de
données unique pour la collecte
au sein d’une base de
données relationnelles accessible
par tous les acteurs
Ce principe permet d’uniformiser
la collecte des données
des projets REDD+ et facilitent
leur analyse. Au-delà, les
initiatives de projets REDD+
méritent également de disposer
d’une structure de collecte des
données particulière, avec des
rubriques de données échappant
aux contraintes propres
aux projets REDD+.
Principe 9: Un système doté
de plusieurs aspects relatifs
à l’information géographique
Chaque projet REDD+ est assis
sur un territoire sur lequel le
porteur de projet et ses partenaires
entendent intervenir pour modifier les dynamiques
de déforestation et/ou de dégradation
forestière et/ou augmenter
les stocks de carbone
forestier. Il ne se réduit pas
aux espaces boisés éligibles à
l’octroi de crédit carbone mais
doit permettre la mise en place
d’activités alternatives sur les
zones non boisées.
Les zones d’octroi de crédits
carbone sont des surfaces éligibles
à la valorisation carbone
REDD+. Elle correspond à toutes
les surfaces boisées qui se
trouvent dans le périmètre du
projet et qui sont soumises à un
risque de déforestation ou de
dégradation dont la démonstration
peut être faite. Elles seront
généralement distinguées en
strates en fonction du type et
de la condition de la forêt, mais
toutes devront répondre à la
définition CCNUCC de la forêt
et à la définition nationale de
la forêt. Ce sont sur ces zones
que l’on tentera de réduire la
déforestation et la dégradation
ou que l’on tentera d’augmenter
les stocks de carbone.
La superficie de la zone de
fuite dépendra de la stratégie
d’intervention et de la
méthodologie utilisée et devra
être validée par un auditeur externe
selon un standard carbone
nationalement et internationalement
reconnu. La zone de
fuite correspond donc à la zone
géographique dans laquelle les
agents et causes de la déforestation
et de la dégradation
peuvent se déplacer suite à la
mise en oeuvre du projet.
La zone de référence est
la zone témoin sur laquelle
le porteur de projet et ses
partenaires vont se baser pour
établir ou actualiser le(s) niveau(
x) de référence du projet.
La zone de référence englobe
à la fois le périmètre de projet
et la zone de fuite avant que
le projet n’ait commencé,
mais les exclue une fois qu’il a
débuté. La superficie de la zone
de référence dépendra de la
méthodologie utilisée et devra
être validée par un auditeur
externe selon un standard
carbone nationalement et internationalement
reconnu.
Le périmètre du projet, la
zone d’octroi des crédits, la
zone de fuite et la zone de
référence sont dignes d’intérêt
pour une autorité nationale
de coordination et constituent
des zones qui donnent au système
national d’information
sur la REDD+ plusieurs dimensions
géographiques. Plusieurs
analyses spatiales s’effectueront
sur les cartes des zones
sus évoquées en combinaison
d’autres cartes. Ces analyses
pourront se faire directement
à l’intérieur du système
automatisé ou en dehors via
d’autres logiciels.
Principe 10: Un système
à maintenir soit via des
frais d’enregistrement et
d’homologation des projets,
le budget des CN-REDD ou
toute autre source.
Au regard des neuf principes
sus évoqués, la mise en
place d’un système national
d’information sur la REDD+
nécessite d’un investissement
minimal pour la conception
et le développement informatique
du système sans compter
les coûts relatifs à la formation,
au déploiement et à sa
maintenance. Il se pose donc
la question du qui paye?
3. Conclusion
Cet article a pour objectif de
clarifier les problématiques
concernant la conception des
systèmes nationaux d’information
sur le REDD+ dans
les pays du Bassin du Congo
à travers des expériences
pratiques issues des efforts
de gestion des données issues
du processus REDD+ portant
majoritairement sur les approches
processuelles, le tout
sur une période d’une dizaine
d’années. Dans un premier
temps, nous avons fourni une
définition sur les systèmes
d’information sur le REDD+
et dans un second temps formulé
des principes directeurs
pouvant être considérés pour
des pays désirant s’engager
dans une démarche de mise en
place des systèmes nationaux
d’information sur le REDD+.

Teacher shortages are a global phenomenon,
according to a report by
UNESCO. While the problem is sometimes
associated with aging societies
which have to compensate for teacher
retirements, the world’s still-growing
regions on the other hand are due to
hire a lot of entirely new teacher positions
by 2030. ...
Europe and North America are looking
to hire the third-most teachers out
of seven world regions analyzed, at 4.8
million by 2030. The majority of these
are positions replacing teachers who
are retiring or leaving the profession.
All in all, new hires needed until 2030
represent 38% of 2022 teacher stock in
the region. The situation is similar in
Southeast Asia as well as Latin America
and the Caribbean. Eastern Asia, which
is looking to hire replacement and new teachers, is only looking at 21% of 2022
teacher stock in new hires needed.
The situation is entirely different in
Subsaharan Africa and Southern Asia,
where more new teacher positions need
to be filled as the regions’ populations
are still growing. In the former region,
projected hires represent 178% of 2022
teacher stock, while hire projections for
new teaching positions alone already
surpass the number of teachers the
region had in 2022. ...
According to UNESCO, countries with
growing populations need to make improvements
to the attractiveness of the
teaching profession to hire and retain
teaching professionals. ...

In 2020 Pakistan was under a Covid-
19 lockdown, and Asif, who had
just graduated with a master’s degree in
project management, was struggling to
find a job. Chinese video-sharing apps
like TikTok and Bigo Live were desperately
scouting for content moderators
in Pakistan. The platforms wanted to
hire locally to appease the government,
which had accused them of circulating
“obscene” and “unlawful” content.
Through LinkedIn, Asif landed a job
as a content moderator at Bigo Live.
“I didn’t think much of it at the time,
because I just wanted a job,” he told
Rest of World, requesting a pseudonym
because he feared reprisal for breaking
a nondisclosure agreement with
his employer. But the stopgap job has
now become his career —one he never
wanted, and which he is unable to
exit despite attempts. “Everyone who
works in this field is there because
they have no choice. It’s something
you end up in, and then you are just
stuck,” said Asif...
Over a dozen Pakistani professionals
who worked in content moderation jobs
as a temporary resort due to a lack of
employment options told Rest of World
they were stuck in a career that was
unfulfilling —one that felt like working
at a “sweatshop,” because their experience
was not transferable. They have
degrees in project management, environmental
science, engineering, and
business administration, and believe
that working as content moderators
has stunted their careers. ...

A team of physicists at MIT have captured
the phenomenon of “second
sound” in direct images for the first
time. [Paper published in www.science.
org] In usual materials, heat prefers to
spread out from a localized source until
it dissipates into its surroundings. But
in certain materials, this is not the case.
This includes superfluids, a state of
matter caused by cooling atoms to extremely
low temperatures. In this state,
the superfluid can flow infinitely with
no loss of energy or viscosity.
In superfluids, which have plenty of
other strange properties to boast of, heat
does not move in the same way. Instead,
in this friction-free state, physicists predicted
heat would propagate as a wave,
known as “second sound”.
“It’s as if you had a tank of water and
made one half nearly boiling,” Assistant
Professor Richard Fletcher explained in
a press release. “If you then watched,
the water itself might look totally calm,
but suddenly the other side is hot, and
then the other side is hot, and the heat
goes back and forth, while the water
looks totally still.” Capturing the movement
of heat in such fluids is tricky,
as they give off no infrared radiation.
However, the team found that lithium-6
fermions resonate at different frequencies
depending on their temperature.
This allowed them to track the movement
of resonating fermions, revealing
the heat was moving like sound waves.

Vertex Pharmaceuticals announced
that its non-opioid pain treatment
VX-548 aced three Phase III studies,
inducing significant pain reductions in
surgical and non-surgical settings.
Two of these late-stage studies
assessed VX-548 in patients who had
undergone either an abdominoplasty
or a bunionectomy. In both cases, the
candidate was primarily evaluated according
to the time-weighted sum of
the pain intensity difference from 0 to
48 hours after surgery (SPID48). Compared
with placebo, VX-548 improved
SPID48 scores among abdominoplasty
patients, an effect that was highly
statistically significant with a p-value
less than 0.0001, according to Vertex’s
announcement. The non-opioid pain
reliever had a similarly strong effect in the bunionectomy trial, with a p-value
of 0.0002, the company said. Both
abdominoplasty and bunionectomy patients
also reported a “clinically meaningful
reduction in pain” 48 hours after
VX-548 treatment, as measured by the
Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS).
In addition, VX-548 demonstrated a
more rapid onset of meaningful pain
relief than placebo. Abdominoplasty
patients reported that they felt the pain
treatment take effect after a median
of two hours, while the median onset
in the bunionectomy study was four
hours. By comparison, those taking a
placebo experienced pain relief after a
median of eight hours. ...

Local studio Roth Architecture has
built an organically shaped creative
lab in Tulum made of concrete
and palm fibre with a form driven by
“nature’s artistic wills”. Called the
Fab Lab, the project is located in the
Yucatán peninsula [Mexico]. The space
serves the Roth Architecture studio as an
office and maker space.
“We create driven by nature’s patterns
and artistic wills,” said the studio.
“The inspiration for this building
is the organic, irregular, yet harmonic
forms we find in nature itself”.
“The spaces are distributed as independent
buildings to adapt to the site.
The central module rises in a meandering
form, providing a visual impact
of dynamism.” Made of reinforced
concrete and steel, the Fab Lab’s narrow
structure was wound through its jungle site and in some places wrapped
directly around trees, with trunks
exposed to the interior. Bulbous forms
were distributed along the length of
its body. ...

For years, researchers have studied
the science behind eating for pleasure.
Their findings are intriguing and
largely encouraging. Physiologically, the
pleasure people derive from food occurs
both in our mouths and in our brains.
“Pleasure of any kind, including
pleasure from food, leads to a release of
dopamine in the brain,” explains therapist
and dietitian Aleta Storch. “Dopamine
is often referred to as the ‘feel good
hormone’ because it activates the reward
pathways in the brain, which helps to
promote happiness, calmness, motivation,
and focus,” she says. In fact, some
older 2011 research indicates that people
with obesity may have disrupted dopamine
sensitivity, leading them to overeat
to achieve adequate pleasure from food.
When brain chemistry is working properly our enjoyment of food can
lead to physical benefits. “When we
enjoy the food we are eating and
stimulate dopamine, we actually digest
and metabolize it more effectively,”
says Storch. “When we’re relaxed in
response to having a pleasurable eating
experience, our nervous system goes
into rest and digest mode, which allows
us to fully break down and utilize the
nutrients from the foods we eat.”
Eating for pleasure could promote
healthier eating too. A review from
2020 examined 119 studies about the
connection between food enjoyment
and a healthy diet. 57% found favorable
associations between eating pleasure
and dietary outcomes. ...
IQ tests haven’t been around that
long. Early versions appeared in
France with the work of Alfred Binet
and Theodore Simon in 1905. However,
these tests didn’t become associated
with genius until the measure
moved from the Sorbonne to Stanford
University. There Professor Lewis M.
Terman had it translated from French
into English, and then standardized on
sufficient numbers of children, to create
what became known as the Stanford-
Binet Intelligence Scale [1916]. The
original motive behind these tests was
to get a diagnostic to select children at
the lower ends of the intelligence scale
who might need special education to
keep up with the school curriculum. But
then Terman got a brilliant idea: Why
not study a large sample of children who score at the top end of the scale?
Better yet, why not keep track of these
children as they pass into adolescence
and adulthood? Would these intellectually
gifted children grow up to become
genius adults? ... The result was the
monumental Genetic Studies of Genius.
These highly intelligent people are still
being studied today, or at least the
small number still alive. ...
Now comes the bad news: None of
them grew up to become what many
people would consider unambiguous
exemplars of genius. Their extraordinary
intelligence was channeled into
somewhat more ordinary endeavors
as professors, doctors, lawyers, scientists,
engineers, and other professionals.

As Typhoon Haiyan howled into
the Philippines in November 2013,
people knew that a powerful storm was
coming, but they were not expecting a
typhoon with 196 mile per hour winds,
driving a storm surge up to 23 feet high.
Haiyan killed more than 6,300 people
and destroyed or damaged more than 1
million structures.
In the wreckage, aid workers found
that some people had died inside
shelters built to withstand the impacts
of Category 5 storms —also known as
“super typhoons”— which is currently
the highest rating on the danger scale.
But Haiyan’s top wind speeds and
storm surge were far stronger than any
previously recorded in the Philippines,
exceeding the Category 5 level by more
than 40 mph. Since 2013, there have
been several other storms of similar
magnitude, prompting some tropical
storm researchers to wonder whether
the well-known Saffir-Simpson hurricane
danger scale should be updated to
better warn of the increasing risks.
In new research published in the
Proceedings of the National Academies
of Sciences, researchers said they’ve
compiled evidence that the “openendedness”
of the scale is “increasingly
problematic for conveying wind risk in
a warming world” because it doesn’t
fully reflect the potential for impacts
from storms like Haiyan. In the paper,
James Kossin and Michael Wehner
described a potential Category 6 rating
for tropical storms with winds ...

SANTIAGO, Feb 6 (Reuters) — Survivors
of Chile’s recent deadly wildfires
described a hellish nightmare, a hurricane
of fireballs leaping from hill to hill,
lighting up everything within its path in
seconds. While the region faces wildfires
almost every year, the speed and lethality
of last week’s blaze was unprecedented.
At least 131 people were killed and
hundreds are still missing in what was
Chile’s worst natural disaster in years.
Scientists say the main driving factor
for such a devastating event is simple:
hotter temperatures.
Part of the reason the wildfires spread
so far and so quickly was high winds.
Raul Cordero, a climatologist at the
University of Santiago, says strong summer
winds are common in central Chile
since air coming down from the Andes mountain range and other elevated
areas compresses and heats up.
“What’s different this time is that the
temperatures were much higher than
before,” Cordero said. He noted the
region was going through a heat wave
likely caused by climate change and the
El Niño phenomenon, when unusually
warm water temperatures off the Pacific
coast of South America roil global
weather patterns.
Aside from the heat wave that brought
scorching temperatures to the Andean
nation, Chile has also been suffering
from a devastating drought for the last
15 years that helped fuel the wildfire.

Maria Schneider is one of the
world’s most distinguished composers
for jazz orchestra, a key collaborator
for David Bowie and a seven-time
Grammy winner —but it’s likely that
you won’t have heard her work, and
never will. This is entirely by design. ...
Schneider has pursued lawsuits,
including a three-year battle to get
YouTube to let small copyright holders
access YouTube’s content ID system
to spot videos that infringe copyright
(that suit was dismissed in June 2023
just before it went to trial).
So it’s no surprise that the Maria
Schneider Orchestra’s 30th birthday retrospective,
Decades, like all her music,
isn’t available to stream. It’s not even
in record shops. The triple LP is available
exclusively through the crowdfunding
platform ArtistShare, the basket into which she put all her eggs more
than two decades ago.
The composer, conductor and pianist
began her advocacy as a reaction to the
beginnings of a “free buffet” of musical
content offered by sites such as Napster
and Limewire. “A lot of people early
on were like: ‘All musicians should
give their music away for free,’” she
says. “Excuse me? If you only knew
the financial investment, the time, the
heartache, the everything that goes into
making music.” ...
In a retaliation against filesharing,
the record producer Brian Camelio began
ArtistShare in 2000, with Schneider
as its first artist. As well as better cuts
for artists and more transparency about
who was consuming ...
Save a girl save a generation is a nongovernmental
organization fighting
against female genital mutilation (FGM),
exploitation of minors, against any form
of abuse and forced marriage of young
girls. Founded and led by women who
were themselves denied the right to
speak, the organization now seeks to
defend the rights of young girls.
Therefore, they felt the need to protect
other girls and women so that they
do not have to experience the same. It
was registered in Spain in 2007, but
had been working anonymously from
20 years earlier. The main focus has
been to publicize the reality of the experience
of girls and justify the need to
secure girls through a combined effort.
Female genital mutilation is the
removal of tissue from any part of the
female genitalia for cultural, religious or any other reasons without a medical
basis. The almost total loss of sensitivity
is the main consequence for those
affected, with the added psychological
trauma. There are women who bleed
to death or infection in the weeks after
the intervention, since it is almost
always done in a rudimentary way, by
healers or older women, and not very
orthodox tools such as crystals, knives
or razor blades.
According to the World Health Organization,
there are around 200 million
women in the world who have undergone
FGM and more than 3 million girls
are at risk of being subjected to this
practice each year. Most of these cases
occur in 30 countries —22 are on the
African continent, the Middle East and
some areas of Asia. ...
Stephen Fry has called for an end to
the use of real fur in the bearskin
caps worn by the King’s Guard on duties
such as guarding Buckingham Palace.
The actor has backed an animal welfare
campaign calling for fake fur to be used
rather than real bear fur.
“Tradition is never an excuse for
cruelty,” says Mr Fry, who is narrating
a video which shows undercover film of
how black bears are killed. The Ministry
of Defence says the bear fur is from
“legal and licensed hunts”.
Tall black bearskin hats are a familiar
sight at ceremonial military events, such
as the Changing of the Guard outside
Buckingham Palace. The King, who
is a keen environmentalist, and other
members of the Royal Family, are seen
wearing bearskins at parades such as Trooping the Colour. But Mr Fry wants to
“stop using the fur of slaughtered wildlife”
for such caps, arguing that there is
good quality artificial fur available.
He narrates a video for the animal
rights group, People for the Ethical Treatment
of Animals (PETA), which criticises
how bears are “mercilessly killed by
trophy hunters” and says their fur is
used “to make the caps worn by the
King’s Guard”. It takes at least one bear
to provide enough fur for each cap, says
Mr Fry, who was a guest at last May’s
Coronation.
A supporter of the animal welfare
group made an undercover video which
claims to show hunters putting down
buckets of strongly-scented food as bait,
and then shooting black bears ...
Ireland —a nation synonymous with
its abundant, verdant landscapes—is
considering a nationwide referendum
on the rights of nature and the human
right to a healthy environment. If that
happens, Ireland would become the
first European country to constitutionally
recognize that ecosystems, similar
to humans and corporations, possess
legal rights. More than two-thirds of
the 27 European Union countries already
recognize a universal human right to a
healthy environment.
In December, a legislative committee
proposed that the Irish government
take a series of administrative measures
to draft proposed constitutional amendments
recognizing that nature has inherent
rights to exist, perpetuate and be
restored, and that humans have a right to
a clean environment and stable climate. To take legal effect, the proposed
amendments must be approved by both
houses of parliament, the Dáil Éireann
(the lower house) and the Seanad (the
upper house), and win a majority of the
popular vote.
The idea for the dual amendments
emanated from a March 2023 Citizens’
Assembly on Biodiversity Loss, which
produced more than 80 recommendations
aimed at addressing the mass
extinction of plants, animals and other
living beings. Human activity is driving
the annihilation of other species at an
unprecedented rate, with over 1 million
on the brink of extinction.
In 2019, Ireland declared a national
biodiversity emergency. More than 70%
of Irish peatlands are damaged ...
