Nuclear Arms and Proliferation
Nuclear Weapons Pose the Ultimate Threat to Mankind
July 16-23, 2018, Issue
A growing number of movements are dedicated to making sure they're banned.
By Betsy Taylor
Ever since the invasion of Iraq in 2003, the peace movement has seemed moribund. But in the wake of the US–North Korean summit, there are glimmers of hope that something new is stirring, with a focus on the ultimate threat to humankind: the use of nuclear weapons.1
This new momentum has been sparked by some of the dark times of the past 17 months. In January 2018, citing growing nuclear risks and unchecked climate dangers, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists set its iconic Doomsday Clock 30 seconds closer to midnight, the nearest to the symbolic point of annihilation that the clock has been since 1953, at the height of the Cold War. The world seems off its axis as new political forces have rekindled old animosities between nuclear rivals. The president's disastrous decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal has led to new dangers in the Middle East. Trump's choice of John Bolton as national-security adviser jeopardizes the prospect for enduring peace with North Korea; Bolton was one of the most rabid proponents for the invasion of Iraq and has pushed for regime change in North Korea, Iran, and Syria. Meanwhile, the nuclear-armed states are undertaking new weapons programs, and the possibility of stumbling into a calamitous war with North Korea and/or Iran has never been more real. There are nine nuclear-armed states with a combined arsenal of around 15,000 nuclear weapons. Another 59 countries possess nuclear materials and the capacity to create their own weapons programs. Even a small regional nuclear conflict could inflict catastrophic global damage. The probability of lost or stolen nuclear material, the accidental use of nuclear weapons (or terrorists acquiring them), and the threat of full-scale nuclear war all rise each time a new country decides to make weapons-grade nuclear materials.2
Last year, President Trump declared that he wanted the US nuclear arsenal to be at the "top of the pack," asserting preposterously that the US military had fallen behind in its weapons capacity. In his 2018 State of the Union address, Trump again stated his determination to modernize the nation's nuclear stockpile. His appointments, statements, and actions—combined with the knowledge that the president has sole launch authority for these weapons—have raised global anxieties to a level not seen in a quarter-century. Google searches for "World War III" hit an all-time high in April 2017.3
In response, movements for nuclear disarmament around the world are reviving the kind of activism that's been missing for a very long time. Take Korea: The American media make too little of the role of South Korean President Moon Jae-in and the domestic movements that propelled him into office. Moon did not emerge from a vacuum; he was backed by numerous progressive forces in South Korea. Women Cross DMZ and other Korean women's groups were part of that electoral muscle. In 2015, on the 70th anniversary of Korea's division by the Cold War powers, Women Cross DMZ led 30 female peacemakers from 15 countries, including two Nobel Peace Prize laureates and the American feminist Gloria Steinem, across the Korean Demilitarized Zone. They held peace symposiums in Pyongyang and in Seoul, where hundreds of women discussed the impact of the unresolved Korean conflict on their lives and shared stories of mobilizing in their communities to end violence and war. They walked with 10,000 women on both sides of the DMZ, in the streets of Pyongyang, Kaesong, and Paju, calling for a formal peace treaty to end the Korean War, the reuniting of separated families, and a central role for women's leadership in the peace process. Women are still pushing with meetings, marches, and political engagement across the Korean Peninsula. Moon's election was partly a mandate to move forward with a new relationship with North Korea.4
Peace movements in the non-nuclear states are on the rise too. In December 2017, the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize for its efforts to advance a treaty on the prohibition of nuclear arms. In all, 122 countries have voted in favor of adopting the treaty thus far, and many are on the path to full ratification. On May 17, Vietnam became the 10th nation to ratify it; the treaty requires the ratification of 50 countries before it acquires legal standing. No nuclear state has expressed support for it yet, but the treaty stands as a moral document and is galvanizing peace movements in many countries.5
Special Foreign Policy Issue
Why We Need a Wider Foreign-Policy Debate
Katrina vanden Heuvel
Meanwhile, peace activists are taking a page from the fossil-fuel divestment movement. Don't Bank on the Bomb identifies corporations that produce key components for nuclear weapons and presses major institutions to divest from them. The Dutch pension fund ABP, the fifth-largest in the world, announced in January that it would divest from all nuclear-weapons producers. Twenty-two major global institutions have already done just that.6
Back home in the United States, Beyond the Bomb is a new effort focused on grassroots advocacy to reduce the threat of nuclear conflict. To date, the campaign involves Win Without War and Women's Action for New Directions, but it aims to enlist a much broader network of groups. The primary focus is to pass emergency legislation that will curtail the president's sole authority to use nuclear weapons. Few things are more terrifying than Donald Trump's continual proximity to the so-called nuclear football—a briefcase with codes for launching nuclear missiles. When Trump threatened to rain "fire and fury like the world has never seen" on North Korea, Beyond the Bomb gained momentum. The campaign is also working with others to block the United States' proposed $1.7 trillion nuclear-weapons modernization program, and to support the adoption of no-first-use declarations as well as increased funding to clean up nuclear contamination in frontline communities.7

The current global dynamics of fear, dysfunctional governments, and capitalism run amok are helping to drive the nuclear-arms race. But long-standing groups like Nuclear Watch New Mexico and Tri-Valley Cares, located near nuclear labs and production facilities, are mobilizing with a new intensity against the restarting of industrial-scale plutonium-pit manufacturing. On May 8, the Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II, co-chair of the Poor People's Campaign, gave a groundbreaking speech in Washington, DC, that was reminiscent of Martin Luther King's 1967 anti-war speech at Riverside Church in New York City. Barber invoked the moral necessity to resist militarism, the war economy, and nuclear weapons. Iraq Veterans Against the War is speaking forcefully against Trump's abandonment of the Iran nuclear deal, while Veterans for Peace has condemned the continuing US occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq. Young progressives are linking their concerns about the violence directed against women, immigrants, indigenous communities, and African Americans with their outrage over gun violence, ecological destruction, and US militarism. John Qua, senior campaigner for Beyond the Bomb, observes that "many young people see a seamless connection among these movements," including the need to address the ultimate form of violence—the use of nuclear weapons. Meanwhile, many older Americans perceive a unifying theme here: the need to press for and protect a safe future for our children. Together, this incipient network of old and young alike is beginning to challenge government policies that have left us stranded for too long on the brink of nuclear conflict.8

Packing List For Mexico. What are the main mistakes people make when deciding what to pack for Mexico? After traveling in Mexico for over a year we have seen it all. This article will help you get it right 1st time around so you can enjoy your vacation and not spend time seeking out these common essentials.
Marival Spa plus Marival Residences Review. Marival Residence is a luxury all-inclusive resort in the up and coming area of Riviera Nayarit. We review the food, Mare Mare Beach Club and more.


It was such a nice surprise! I've been holding onto the card because I've been trying to think of a special random act of kindness to do, but inspiration hasn't hit me yet. Have you had anyone treat you to a random act of kindness, or have you done a RAK for someone? I'd love to hear your ideas!
Hmmm, what else is new? Last week I received some Christmas fragrance samples. I narrowed it down to 3 fragrances that I loved; 1 pepperminty, 1 berry/woodsy, and 1 that just smells like Christmas in a bottle! I can't wait to try them out in soap!
Your soap is beautiful! One time years ago when you could pump gas and then pay....we were told the guy next to us who had been talking our ear off (overflowing his gas as he did) paid for our gas....we were pretty poor back then and I thought that was the sweetest thing ever. I know you will come up with something fabulous to pay it forward.
Это замечательная идея! Я с таким проявлением доброты у нас уже давно не встречалась! Прежде всего надо начать с себя!
Looking forward to seing your soap cut!
What did we ever do before Google?!
You know what, that's exactly what I was thinking too...it's looks very wintery! I actually wasn't going for that color palette at all, but with winter coming up, it will do just fine!
I love hearing stories like that! It's so sweet and inspiring. Years back, I attended a meditation seminar by The Art of Living. One of the things we had to do after we went home was to make a random act of kindness. I was not really sure what I would do, but when I was at the gasoline station, the opportunity presented itself. An old woman was selling flowers so I bought all that she had and gave her some more. The look on her face was precious. I couldn't have been happier that day.
Aw, that's so sweet...I bet she still tells that story to this day! How fun that must have been!
What a sweet story! It feels so good to do something nice for somebody. Mine don't involve money, but when I'm at the checkout line at the grocery store and someone behind me only has a few items I let them go in front of me. It puts a smile on their face and my face!
I just made BRV soap too! I did another black, white and pink tiger stripe, but it appears that my BRV has vanilla in it and my white is slowly turning. Oh well, still smells nice. Your swirls are very pretty!
That's such a nice thing to do too, I try to remember to do that as well...it never hurts to take a few extra minutes out of your day to help someone else out!
Oooooh, your black, pink and white tiger stripe soap would be so gorgeous, even if the color turns! My last BRV turned neon yellow, so I'm glad this new one is cooperating.
PS - how is Milla doing? I was thinking about her lately.
So far the white is a cream color and how can you not love BRV no matter what? LOL! Milla has been having a great few weeks despite a few seizures. It's always good when she feels good. She got her hair cut the other week and it seemed to pep her up. She's a tough little dog! Thanks for asking!
On a side note I bought some coconut to make coconut milk using my Blendtec blender. Just need to actually do it now. I really want to use it in my salt bars. Just need some extra oomph in there.
I think you're always performing RAK Cee, you are so sweet to everyone in the blogging community, and you share all your wonderful recipes and methods. To me that's all RAK.
It's been years since I've done an RAK of note - I paid for someone's parking because she didn't have the correct change to plug the meter.
Love your black raspberry vanilla soap. I agree with Signe, it's got almost a wintry, snowy look to it and of course the scent is fabulous. Can't wait to see what you come up with for your winter scents.
That's so sweet of you to say...I'm happy to share! I've learned so much from other's sharing, that I feel it's my responsibility to pay it forward.
That was such a nice RAK, something that probably would have caught the person off guard!
I'm excited to start my winter soaps too...it's hard to believe I have to have them made within the next few weeks!
What a sweet woman! I just try to help my nearest and dearest especially when they don´t ask for help even if they need it.
The swirls are so pretty, especially the blue one.
Aww, what a sweet story! I like hearing about random acts of kindness, and I try to perform a few of my own, too. Your Black Raspberry Vanilla swirls look great - can't wait to see the finished bars!
I like to hear others' RAK stories too Jenny, some of them are things I never would have thought of! Thanks for your nice compliment on my soap too!
Have totally been treated to a free coffee at Starbucks. It's a very nice treat. Doesn't it make you feel more like part of the community?
I cannot wait to get my fall/holiday scents in the mail - they are winging themselves to me as we speak. I as well got a woodsy one, something berry and cinnamoney and something crisp and snowlike. I'm looking forward to it.
You could always just give someone a random bar of soap! People love little surprises!
Beautiful soap Cee! I've had this fragrance for awhile and you have inspired me to use it.
We have a fund in our church for people in our church who struggle every month to pay their bills, it's called the Matthew Fund. We have many elderly ladies who barely get by so my most favorite way to pass on the blessings God has given me is to give into this fund.
It's a wonderful fragrance Gloria, I think you'll really love it in soap.
Lol, it's amazing how much one can hoard, er, accumulate doing different types of crafting! It's wonderful to be able to share it with fellow crafters who would appreciate them...what a great idea Sue!
How sweet! I'm sure she made your day, but not only yours,but hers, as well.
Oh, fall has fallen onto your blog!
Your soap is so beautiful! The black raspberry vanilla is such a popular scent and so easy to use in CP! Once when I was an irreverent teen, I ended up on a plane to the wrong city with little money. A kind man gave me money to get me where I was going. A random act of kindness, I certainly didn't deserve! I think of that a lot and try to do nice things for people without expectation.
This RAK you experienced was so special. I really enjoyed reading your story. I bet that your new soap looks so good!
Hooray for RAoK! I TRY to get at least one a day, even if its something little like holding the door for someone, or letting someone know their shoe is untied. That little card is such a great idea!
Thanks so much everyone! Heather, nice to see you around again! That's such a bummer about the non-bleeding red :( You reminded me that I still haven't shown the cut pictures of the soap yet....next blog post!

February 2nd 2016: Best break up ever
Love Hurts, by Randy Whittaker
"You took what was mine and you will pay!" she mumbled, the words dripping off her tongue like acid.
Jennifer sat in the pew and the hatred makes her body tremble. She knows her patience will pay huge dividends and she will be so happy. She just needs to wait for the exact right moment to make her dreams become reality. She will have her big day and it will be more amazing than anyone could have ever imagined.
Tim had left her for that bitch Susie but Jennifer knew everything worked out in the end. All she had to do was be patient and her happiness would know no bounds. She sat in the church, its air of righteousness giving her strength, and her mind drifts back to when everything got screwed up.
She had been alone for a very long time.
She didn't really notice the emptiness after awhile. The move to a new job and city all seemed overwhelming at first. She soon found herself in a comfort zone reserved for old people. It was funny how you could rationalize anything in your life. Sure, she had lots of friends. Most women do. But at the very base of her existence, she felt the loneliness like the warm blanket she wrapped herself in every night as she settled in front of the television. Falling in love with a guy from work was the last thing on her mind.
Tim was the new guy. He had a pleasing face and he seemed so kind and warm. Their conversations started out innocently enough. But there was always something bubbling just below the surface. Tim always made her feel special.
As they grew to know each other, their conversations would often turn sexual and she would say things to him that shocked her own sense of middle class sensibilities. She felt comfortable with Tim, like she could be herself and no one would judge her. Their romance continued to blossom, and soon the conversation turned to weddings.
Then her world crumbled when Susie came into work that fateful day. It started out so innocently.
Tim, always the nice guy, helped Susie fit right in her new job. It wasn't long before his visits to her cubicle would last longer and longer. Jennifer would hear Tim making Susie laugh and it would grate on her nerves like fingers on a chalkboard. Soon, Tim was avoiding her at work. It wasn't long before people were asking her what happened.
She would look at them, smile and say "Susie happened," the hatred oozing from her lips.
"I just don't understand," she sobbed as Tim tried to explain.
"It's just that, I dunno, things just kinda happened, you know. Susie and I have a connection at a deeper level. It's not you, it's me."
She could feel her fist balling up and she wanted to drive it right into his face. She wanted to feel his flesh tear away as her rings dug into the face that had betrayed her. Every day she would rise out of bed and her thoughts would turn to Tim and Susie. She wanted Susie to feel the pain and betrayal she was feeling. Her venomous thoughts curled around her mind like a snake squeezes a mouse.
When Tim came by her cubicle to invite her to the wedding, she knew something had to be done. The wedding day arrived and with it, the festering anger reached its boiling point. The two of them now stood before God declaring their undying love for each other.
Jennifer sat quietly in the pew, her calmness belying the rage swirling in her brain. She wallowed in the anger of it all. It made her realize she was doing the right thing. She looked at them and the bile rose in her throat. Tim wanted to invite her because it would help alleviate his guilt. She knew he wanted everyone to get along. That was Tim, always the peacemaker.
"That bitch took what was mine and there is nothing going to stand in my way," she mumbled over and over again.
"I do" Tim said with the biggest shit eating grin on his face.
She put her hand in her purse and felt the cool, smooth blade. Its coldness warmed her heart.
"I do," Susie said and the two of them kissed and people started to applaud.
"Are you kidding me?" Jennifer thought as the bride and groom began to walk down the aisle. People were clapping and smiling like this was the happiest day of their lives.
"The hell with that…" she thought as she pulled the knife out of her purse and stepped in front of the bride. Now was the moment when her life would have its destiny fulfilled.
The first thrust went straight into Susie's belly. Susie gasped in pain as the red stain quickly embraced the white dress. The contrast was so beautiful, Jennifer almost stopped to admire her work. The moment passed and she pulled the knife out with a sickening slurshing sound.
The second thrust, higher, went straight into Susie's heart. Jennifer wondered, right at that moment, if Susie even had a heart.
Susie collapsed onto the floor, clutching her crimson red wedding gown. Her thick, red blood flowed over her fingers covering the diamond in her wedding ring.
Friends and family stood, their mouths agape, as the crazy woman with the blood soaked knife stood over the bride. Susie's dress was now thick with blood.
Everything was in slow motion and the only sound Jennifer heard was her heartbeat thumping in her ears. She was broken out of her reverie by Tim's screams. Jennifer dropped the knife and went to him.
"It's alright honey. Now we can be together. Don't you worry about a thing."
Tim looked at her, his face the picture of confusion, and asked, "Why?"
"Why? Because I love you, that's why!"

One response to "February 2nd 2016: Best break up ever
Frank N Stein (yep) says:
Didn't know where this was going, until that last line when I spit coffee onto my keyboard.


All of us like our house to be a certain way, from the way the kitchen cupboards are arranged to the way we fold our clothing. The same apparently goes for the royals, but unsurprisingly, the royals have a number of household staff to help keep things pristine. It makes sense, because could you imagine trying to clean Buckingham Palace on your own? Apparently Kate Middleton however shook things up a little, as she 'desired the privacy of not having servants' around according to Express.
She also went onto reveal that Kate and Prince William's married head housekeeper and head gardener both wound up quitting, as they had 'worked for the Queen previously and then came over to work for Prince William and Kate'.
TBH if your entire job was to look after the royals, we guess it makes sense that you'd be frustrated if you essentially had nothing to do. Express continued that Kate 'loved to cook herself' and 'didn't grow up with household staff', so it sounds like it must have been a big adjustment.
This isn't the first time that Kate's tried to keep things low-key as a royal, as the keen photographer has also opted to take her children's official portraits in the past – rather than turning to one of the Palace's professionals. In fact, she snapped a few birthday pictures of her children and made our hearts melt with Princess Charlotte's first day of school photograph below.
We stan an independent gal and if anybody has a problem with that, we'd like to have a word.
That said, we hope Kate knows it's okay to ask for help when she needs it. With her ever growing list of royal duties and three little rascals to look after, we doubt we'd ever get anything done if we were in her shoes.


A successful relationship is based on honorable values like love, respect, and honesty. Love is the foundation of any relationship, but with time, things tend to decrease or completely disappear. There are a few signs you shouldn't ignore in a relationship that can prove to you that your partner doesn't love you anymore. Here are 10 signs he doesn't love you anymore.
If your partner is no longer interested in your life and your dreams, it is a clear sign that something is wrong. So, if your communication is minimal and also if you don't have any common subjects to talk about, there is a chance love is fading away.
You blame each other for everything.
No matter what is going on, you are always blaming each other. Instead of trying to resolve the issues, you are fighting and arguing to prove the other is guilty. Of course, there are fights in every couple; put when you start fighting over every meaningless detail, maybe it is time to question your feelings. Because from what I know, when someone is always blaming you, it is their own way of showing you they don't love you anymore.
If you can see your partner overthinking, not paying attention to the conversation, or just seeing him always in his thought… Well, that may mean he is no longer interested in you. What you need to do is sit down with him and talk about the situation. See what is going to be your next step in the relationship because it is better to act at the beginning then to let it deteriorate into something worse.
There is no longer affection between the two of you.
No more kisses on the forehead, no more holding hands in public. You probably feel like you are in a relationship with a stranger who is afraid to touch you. If he is neglecting you, it is time to consider a break up.
He always finds an excuse to not be home.
You can't stand each other anymore.
There are ups and downs in any relationships. But if there are more downs than ups, it is a red sign. If you can't stand each other most of the time or if you partner is mistreating you and nothing you do is good enough, well, maybe it is time to break up and move on. You deserve a better relationship.
You are no longer in his plans.
For a relationship to last, you need to communicate and have common plans. So, if your partner is excluding you from all of his plans, he clearly doesn't picture you in his future. And if he doesn't, well, it is a clear sign your relationship has come to an end and you need to let it go.
Respect is very important in any relationship, sometimes even more important than love. When there is no more respect between the two of you, it is simply not worth it. If he is disrespectful, don't try to make any effort because your relationship is over and you deserve better.
You are hurting each other.
All the lies, cheating, and disrespect, so many things that are hurting not only you but the both of you may lead to you two hating each other. Don't let things deteriorate to this point because you don't need to feel hate in your life. But if you are already there, leave each other before it gets worse. We all deserve a relationship full of love.
He doesn't give you any explanation.
He is leaving the house without telling you where he is going or with whom, and he doesn't want to tell you about his day at work because he doesn't feel obligated anymore. It is because he doesn't love you anymore, so why are you desperately trying to make things work? Let go and focus on your life.

New York City (NYC) Mayor Eric Adams admitted that more than half of illegal immigrants transported by bus avoid the Big Apple as they fear rampant crime there.
The Democratic mayor made this admission during an Aug. 7 press conference, where he welcomed a busload of illegal aliens transported from Texas. Two days earlier, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced his plan to send illegals that enter the U.S. through the Lone Star State's border to NYC – a so-called sanctuary city.
When the bus from Texas arrived at the Port Authority Bus Terminal, it only carried less than half of its 40 passengers as most of the illegal aliens disembarked before reaching the Big Apple.
"We were led to believe about 40 people should have been on that bus, [but] only 14 got off," a shocked Adams remarked.
"Because of the fear that something was going to happen to them if they came to this location, people got off earlier. We are concerned about that, because we don't want people being dropped off [just] anywhere."
As for the 14 illegals, they were put into cabs and taken away to the city's already-overburdened shelters. This group joined the initial 50 migrants that arrived on the first NYC-bound bus on Aug. 5 – bringing the total number to 64 as of writing.
A spokeswoman for Adams' office later clarified that the mayor did not refer to crime statistics in his comments during the press conference. However, she did not offer an alternative explanation as to why migrants may have feared disembarking at the city.
According to figures released by the New York City Police Department, the Big Apple has been suffering from an almost 40 percent spike in crime. It also found that hate crimes have increased by 13.3 percent and transit crimes – those committed on public transportation – have risen by 53 percent compared to the same period last year.
Adams calls TX, AZ governors "cowards" for sending illegals to DC
The waves of bused migrants stemmed from the Biden administration's inaction toward border security. Abbott first announced his plans to transport illegal aliens to Washington, D.C. back in April 2022. The Grand Canyon State followed suit, with Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey announcing an initial busload of migrants bound to the federal capital in May 2022.
During a July 2021 press conference, Adams called the Republican governors "cowards" for busing illegals to Washington, D.C. and insinuated that they lied about not sending migrants to NYC.
"Our country is [the land] of the free and [the home] of the brave. We do not become cowards and send people away who are looking for help," said the NYC mayor. "They sent people out of their state. People who are seeking refuge in our country – they sent them away." (Related: Eric Adams calls Texas, Arizona Govs. 'cowards' for sending migrants to DC, says schools, healthcare 'going to be impacted.')
"All of us came from somewhere. Even from Texas, they came from somewhere. And so, they should not have sent people away that [were] seeking refuge."
According to Adams, the GOP governors sent the illegal aliens to the federal capital "so they could do a layover and then come to [NYC]." He added: "They were wrong. They ended up here because they didn't get the support there."
However, a spokesperson for the Lone Star State's governor pointed out that the Biden administration – not Texas – is to blame for the influx of illegal immigrants in the Big Apple.
"Mayor Adams should check with President [Joe] Biden if his administration is the one dumping migrants in his city, as they've been doing to Texas border towns for months," said Renae Eze, press secretary and senior communications advisor for Abbott.

Appreciating Shlichut
(Photo: Yaakov Reich).
< Back to main HaMizrachi page
BY RABBI REUVEN TARAGIN
Life's mission
Most shlichim mentioned in the Torah are people sent on a particular mission on behalf of another. Avraham sent Eliezer to find a wife for Yitzchak, Ya'akov sent Yehudah ahead to Egypt to prepare for the family's arrival, Hashem sent Moshe to Pharaoh, and Moshe sent the spies to explore Eretz Yisrael.
Nevertheless, the first time the Torah uses the word "shlichut" is in reference to the totality of a person's life. When Hashem expelled Adam and Chavah from Gan Eden, the Torah uses the word וַיְשַׁלְּחֵהוּ, implying that though Adam was expelled from Gan Eden because of his sin, Hashem still imbued his life with a sense of purpose and mission (Sefat Emet, 5661).
The Zohar (1:129b) teaches that we must aim to live as constant shlichim of Hashem, comparing such people to malachim, heavenly angels, whose very name means "agents". The Ba'al Shem Tov believed that we are all sent to this world as Hashem's agents with unique missions to accomplish, while Rav Soloveitchik adds that this is why each of us are born at a particular time and place, for we all have unique missions to accomplish on Hashem's behalf.
More than just lemonade
Though Adam HaRishon was expelled from Gan Eden as a punishment, his punishment was also intended to be a form of mission. Chazal explain our people's exile from the Land in a similar fashion; just as Adam was given a new shlichut to accomplish outside of Gan Eden, the Jewish people were meant to fulfill a new shlichut in exile (Eicha Rabbah, Hakdama 4).
Yosef took this idea a step further. Though he arrived in Egypt through the sinful actions of his brothers, he viewed himself as Hashem's shaliach. He saw the famine and the centralization of resources in Egypt as a unique opportunity to assist the Jewish people, and believed G-d had placed him in a powerful position in order to facilitate this goal. He explained to his family: "You did not send me here; it was Hashem" (Bereishit 45:8). Though the brothers sold him as a slave, it was Hashem Who put Yosef in his powerful position at that critical juncture.
We all know the importance of turning "lemons into lemonade", of trying to transform a negative situation into a positive one. Yosef teaches us to seek more than just lemonade, to try to understand G-d's intentions, even when we are victims of "man-made" or even sinful circumstances.
Using a verse in Sefer Shmuel as inspiration, Rabbi Eliyahu Meir Bloch founded the Telz Yeshivah in Cleveland during the Holocaust. After escaping Europe and arriving in Cleveland in 1941, he and Rabbi Mottel Katz convened a meeting with community leaders to discuss founding a yeshivah. At the meeting, Rabbi Bloch discussed the code Yehonatan used to let David know whether or not it was safe for him to return to Shaul's court.
As his assistant collected the arrows he shot, Yehonatan would tell the assistant that the arrows were either closer or further than where he was standing. If Yehonatan yelled that the arrows were further, it was a sign that David was in danger and needed to flee. Interestingly, Yehonatan formulated the message this way: "If I tell him that the arrows are beyond him, go, because Hashem has sent you." Though David was forced to flee in order to save his own life, Yehonatan framed David's leaving as "embarking on Hashem's shlichut".
Rabbi Bloch explained that even when we are escaping danger, we are actually on a mission, for the danger is merely G-d's way of ensuring we arrive in the place where we are meant to fulfill our shlichut. This was how Rabbi Bloch viewed his own situation; his escape from Europe was meant to bring him to Cleveland to reestablish the Telz yeshivah in America.
Self-fulfillment
Modern culture encourages us to focus on ourselves and our own personal pleasure, goals and self-fulfillment. At first glance, this makes the concept of shlichut harder to identify with. But in truth, shlichut for Hashem – our Creator – is the ultimate self-fulfillment! The entire world was created to glorify Hashem; when we act as His emissaries, we realize what we were created to accomplish.
בָּרוּךְ הוּא אֱ-לֹקֵינוּ,שֶׁבְּרָאָנוּ לִכְבוֹדוֹ, וְהִבְדִּילָנוּ מִן הַתּוֹעִים, וְנָתַן לָנוּ תּוֹרַת אֱמֶת, וְחַיֵּי עוֹלָם נָטַע בְּתוֹכֵנוּ.
May we achieve chayei olam (eternal life) by living our lives as shlichim on behalf of the One sheb'ra'anu lichvodo, "Who created us for His Honor", and separated us from the aimless by giving us the Torah to show us how to serve Him.
Rabbi Reuven Taragin is the Educational Director of Mizrachi and Dean of the Yeshivat Hakotel Overseas Program.

Abrams noticeably absent from Biden's voting rights push
January 11, 2022, 4:38 p.m. ·4 min read
ATLANTA (AP) — There was a prominent Atlanta resident missing on Tuesday when President Joe Biden swung through the city to press for voting rights protections: Stacey Abrams.
During a day that was shrouded in the city's legacy as the cradle of the Civil Rights Movement, the absence of one of the nation's most prominent voting rights activists created something of an awkward moment.
For Biden, it was an unexpected snub at a time when he faces mounting vulnerabilities, including skepticism from Black voters who elected him and now question his dedication to their priorities. And for Abrams, who once openly lobbied Biden to pick her as his vice president, her absence left the impression that she was now distancing herself from the leader of her party as she campaigns for Georgia governor.
Biden and Abrams quickly sought to smooth over any damage. After an aide said late Monday that an unspecified scheduling conflict would prevent her from attending Biden's event, Abrams tweeted a welcome to Biden, saying the "fight for voting rights takes persistence" and thanking him "for refusing to relent until the work is finished." And as he left the White House on Tuesday, Biden said he spoke to Abrams earlier in the day and that "we're all on the same page."
"We have a great relationship," Biden said. "We got our scheduling mixed up."
Still, the moment speaks to a broader question Democrats across the country are facing at the outset of a critical election year: whether to appear alongside a president whose popularity is waning. That calculation is especially precarious for Abrams, who is running for governor in a state that was once a Republican stronghold but is now almost evenly split between the parties.
Biden in 2020 became the first Democrat to win Georgia since 1992, carrying the state by less than one quarter of a percentage point. Since the election, Biden's approval nationally has sagged.
Abrams' success could hinge on winning a coalition of Black voters, who are frustrated with inaction on issues including voting rights and police reform, and some white voters who have soured on Biden more broadly. That may give Abrams little incentive at the moment to appear too close to Biden.
"Not being in attendance because you have something to do is a way for you to not alienate the president, who's the stand-in for the establishment wing of the party," said Emory University political scientist Andra Gillespie. "But it also shields you from criticism from progressives, who might be critical if it looked like she was accepting of a symbolic gesture that didn't come with any substantive announcement."
Georgia groups allied with Abrams demanded on Tuesday that Biden do more. In a statement, they called on the president to lay out "a specific, immediate timeline" on how he would push voting legislation through the Senate, telling Biden he "must demand a filibuster carveout" to allow voting legislation to pass with only a bare majority in the Senate. They also pressed him to specifically address how he would win support from Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, who have been among the most vocal Democrats bucking changes to Senate rules.
"We are past the moment of simply calling for debate, or allowing the Senate to continue dithering: it is time for the president to demand and lay out a final plan to pass these bills and sign them into law," wrote former Georgia NAACP President James Woodall on behalf of himself and five groups, including New Georgia Project Action Fund, which Abrams founded.
Woodall said the groups have had no communication with Abrams and had not asked her to skip the event.
"If she was there or not, I don't know if that changes the speech," Woodall said. "She has demonstrated where she stands on the legislation."
Instead, he turned the focus back on Biden, saying it would be a "failure of this administration" if the legislation doesn't pass.
"The president is no longer Donald Trump, nor Brian Kemp or Stacey Abrams, It's Joseph R. Biden," Woodall said.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki declined to address those who are skipping the speech, saying Biden would meet with a "range" of civil rights leaders in Georgia "who share his commitment to getting voting rights legislation done," saying he "shares their frustration."
"He's going to be raising the question today to Senate Democrats, Republicans and independents, where do you want to be in history?" Psaki said. "Where do you want to be when the history books are written? And this is a key moment where you will be judged. Are you for protecting people's fundamental rights or not?"

Martin Freeman claims that The Doctor and Sherlock Holmes are "the perfect fictional team".
Martin Freeman has claimed that The Doctor and Sherlock Holmes would make "the perfect fictional team".
However, the former Office actor - who plays Dr John Watson in Sherlock - admitted that he is not a big fan of Doctor Who.
Speaking to What's On TV, Freeman said: "I don't feel as passionate about Doctor Who as Stephen does, but I've enjoyed watching it more since being a father.
"We met Matt Smith while filming Sherlock in Cardiff because the Baker Street set is next to the [Who] set. It was strange seeing Sherlock Holmes and The Doctor together. They are the perfect fictional team."
Sherlock continues this Sunday with 'The Blind Banker', airing at the slightly earlier time of 8.30pm on BBC One.

The vaccine is of the adw subtype.
H-B-Vax II hepatitis B vaccine (recombinant) is a noninfectious subunit viral vaccine derived from surface antigen (HBsAg or Australia antigen) of hepatitis B virus produced in yeast cells.
The antigen is harvested and purified from fermentation cultures of a recombinant strain of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae containing the gene for the adw subtype of HBsAg. The vaccine contains no detectable yeast DNA but may contain up to 1% yeast protein.
The vaccine against hepatitis B is free of association with human blood or blood products.
Pharmacology.
Immunogenicity.
Clinical studies have established that H-B-Vax II, when injected into the deltoid muscle, induced protective levels of antibody (defined as greater than or equal to 10 mIU/mL anti-HBs) in 96% of 1,213 healthy adults who received the recommended three dose regimen. Antibody responses varied with age; a
protective level of antibody was induced in 98% of 787 young adults 20 to 29 years of age, in 94% of 249 adults 30 to 39 years of age, and in 89% of 177 adults greater than or equal to 40 years of age. Studies with hepatitis B vaccine derived from plasma have shown that a lower response rate (81%) to vaccine
may be obtained if the vaccine is administered as a gluteal injection. Seroconversion rates and geometric mean antibody titres were measured one to two months after the third dose.
In clinical studies, 99% of 94 infants under one year of age born of noncarrier mothers, 96% of 46 children one to ten years of age, and 99% of 112 adolescents 11 to 19 years of age developed a protective level of antibody following the recommended three dose regimen of vaccine.
Predialysis and haemodialysis patients respond less well to H-B-Vax II than do healthy individuals. In two studies, where 40 microgram doses of vaccine were administered in the deltoid muscle, 89% of 28 participants developed anti-HBs, with 86% achieving levels greater than or equal to 10 mIU/mL. Serological data on the proposed dosage regimen are limited to 28 subjects only; antibody levels achieved in these subjects were considerably lower than in normal subjects. No information is available on the persistence of antibodies in these subjects beyond six months after the last dose of the vaccine.
The protective efficacy of 5 microgram doses of H-B-Vax II has been demonstrated in neonates born of mothers positive for both HBsAg and HBeAg (a core associated antigenic complex which correlates with high infectivity). In a clinical study of infants who received one dose of Hepatitis B Immune Globulin at birth followed by the recommended three dose regimen of H-B-Vax II, chronic infection had not occurred in 96% of 130 infants after nine months of follow-up. The estimated efficacy in prevention of chronic hepatitis B infection was 95% as compared to the infection rate in untreated historical controls. Significantly fewer neonates became chronically infected when given one dose of Hepatitis B Immune Globulin at birth followed by the recommended three dose regimen of H-B-Vax II when compared to historical controls who received only a single dose of Hepatitis B Immune Globulin.
It has been demonstrated that doses of up to 3 mL of Hepatitis B Immune Globulin, when administered simultaneously with the first dose of H-B-Vax II at separate body sites, did not interfere with the induction of protective antibodies against hepatitis B virus elicited by the three dose vaccine regimen.
The duration of protective effect of H-B-Vax II is unknown at present, and the need for booster doses not defined.
Reports in the literature described a more virulent form of hepatitis B associated with superinfections or co-infections by delta virus, an incomplete RNA virus. Delta virus can only infect and cause illness in persons infected with hepatitis B virus since the delta agent requires a coat of HBsAg in order to become infectious. Therefore, persons immune to hepatitis B virus infection should also be immune to delta virus infection.
Immunisation against infection caused by all known subtypes of hepatitis B virus.
H-B-Vax II will not prevent hepatitis caused by other agents, such as hepatitis A virus, non-A non-B hepatitis viruses or other viruses known to infect the liver.
Vaccination is recommended in persons of all ages who are at substantial risk of hepatitis B virus infection and have been demonstrated or judged to be susceptible.
Hypersensitivity to any component of the vaccine.
Hypersensitivity to yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). Patients who develop symptoms suggestive of hypersensitivity after an injection should not receive further injections of H-B-Vax II.
Persons with immunodeficiency or those receiving immunosuppressive therapy require larger vaccine doses and respond less well than healthy individuals. Included in this group are haemodialysis patients for whom 40 microgram doses are recommended. (See Pharmacology.)
Because of the long incubation period for hepatitis B, it is possible for unrecognised infection to be present at the time H-B-Vax II is given. H-B-Vax II may not prevent hepatitis B in such patients.
Further study is required to determine the effectiveness of H-B-Vax II in preventing hepatitis when the vaccine regimen is begun after an exposure to the hepatitis B virus has already occurred (i.e. use for postexposure prophylaxis). Information available so far suggests that efficacy is reduced in such cases.
As with any parenteral vaccine, adrenaline should be available for immediate use should anaphylaxis or an anaphylactoid reaction occur.
Any serious active infection is reason for delaying use of H-B-Vax II except when, in the opinion of the doctor, withholding the vaccine entails a greater risk.
Caution and appropriate care should be exercised in administering H-B-Vax II to individuals with severely compromised cardiopulmonary status or to others in whom a febrile or systemic reaction could pose a significant risk.
Use in pregnancy.
(Category B2)
There is no convincing evidence of risk to the fetus from immunisation of pregnant women using inactivated virus vaccines, bacterial vaccines, or toxoids.
Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with H-B-Vax II. It is not known whether H-B-Vax II can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproductive capacity. H-B-Vax II should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed.
Use in lactation.
It is not known whether H-B-Vax II is excreted in human milk. However, studies with H-B-Vax II in 12 lactating women have failed to reveal evidence of this vaccine being secreted.
Use in children.
H-B-Vax II has been shown to be immunogenic and usually well tolerated in infants and children of all ages. Newborn infants also respond well; maternally transferred antibodies do not interfere with the active immune response to the vaccine. See Dosage and Administration for recommended paediatric dosage and for recommended dosage for infants born to HBsAg positive mothers.
The safety profile and effectiveness of the dialysis formulation in children have not been established.
H-B-Vax II is generally well tolerated. No serious adverse reactions attributable to the vaccine have been reported during the course of clinical trials. No serious hypersensitivity reactions have been reported. No adverse experiences were reported during clinical trials which could be related to changes in the titres of antibodies to yeast. As with any vaccine, there is the possibility that broad use of the vaccine could reveal adverse reactions not observed in clinical trials.
The following adverse reactions were reported in clinical studies in healthy adults.
More common reactions.
(greater than or equal to 1% of injections.) Local reaction (injection site).
Injection site reactions (26% of doses) consisting principally of local pain, soreness, tenderness, pruritus, erythema, ecchymosis, swelling, warmth, and nodule formation.
Body as a whole.
The most frequent systemic complaints include fatigue/asthenia (4.2%), fever greater than or equal to 37.8 deg. C (3.2%), malaise (1.2%).
Gastrointestinal.
Nausea (1.8%), diarrhoea (1.1%).
Nervous system.
Headache (4.1%).
Pharyngitis (1.2%), upper respiratory infection (1.0%).
Less common reactions.
(< 1% of injections.) Body as a whole.
Sweating, achiness, sensation of warmth, lightheadedness, chills, flushing.
Vomiting, abdominal pains/cramps, dyspepsia, diminished appetite.
Rhinitis, influenza, cough.
Vertigo/dizziness, paraesthesia.
Dermatological.
Pruritus, rash (nonspecified), angioedema, urticaria.
Musculoskeletal.
Arthralgia including monoarticular, myalgia, back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, neck stiffness.
Lymphatic.
Lymphadenopathy.
Psychiatric/behavioural.
Insomnia/disturbed sleep.
Special senses.
Earache.
Genitourinary.
Dysuria.
Cardiovascular.
Hypotension.
The following additional adverse reactions have been reported with use of the marketed vaccine; however, in many instances a causal relationship to the vaccine has not been established.
Hypersensitivity.
Anaphylaxis and symptoms of immediate hypersensitivity reactions including oedema, dyspnoea, chest discomfort, bronchial spasm, or palpitation have been reported within the first few hours after vaccination. An apparent hypersensitivity syndrome (serum sickness-like) of delayed onset has been reported days to weeks after vaccination, including arthritis (usually transient) and dermatological reactions such as erythema multiforme, ecchymoses and erythema nodosum (see Precautions).
Peripheral neuropathy including Bell's palsy; Guillain-Barre syndrome, optic neuritis.
Tinnitus.
Haematological.
Increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
Infants and young children.
The nature and incidence of systemic adverse reactions is different in infants and young children. In clinical studies, in infants up to one year of age and children one to ten years of age, reactions reported greater than or equal to 1% of doses given in studies were as follows.
Ages 0 to 1 years: irritability (3.2%), fever greater than or equal to 38.3 deg. C (2.8%), diminished appetite (2.8%), diarrhoea (2.5%), vomiting (1.8%), cough (1.4%), cold symptoms (1.1%).
Ages 1 to 10 years: cold symptoms (2.7%), viral infection (2.7%), fever greater than or equal to 38.3 deg. C (2.1%), cough (2.1%), injection site reactions (1.6%), diarrhoea (1.1%), rhinitis (1.1%), headache (1.1%).
Potential adverse effects.
In addition, a variety of adverse effects not observed in clinical trials with H-B-Vax II have been reported with H-B-Vax (plasma derived hepatitis B vaccine). Those listed below are to serve as alerting information to doctors.
Hypersensitivity. Irritability.
Neurological disorders such as myelitis, including transverse myelitis; acute radiculoneuropathy and Herpes zoster.
Visual disturbances.
Do not inject intravenously or intradermally.
H-B-Vax II is for intramuscular injection. The deltoid muscle is the preferred site for intramuscular injection in adults. Data suggest that injections given in the buttocks are frequently given into fatty tissue instead of into muscle. Such injections have resulted in a lower seroconversion rate than was expected. The anterolateral thigh is the recommended site for intramuscular injection in infants and young children.
As the plasma derived vaccine has been shown to be immunogenic by the subcutaneous route, H-B-Vax II may also be administered subcutaneously to persons at risk of haemorrhage following intramuscular injections. However, when other aluminium adsorbed vaccines have been administered subcutaneously, an increased incidence of local reactions including subcutaneous nodules has been observed. Therefore,
subcutaneous administration should be used only in persons (e.g. haemophiliacs) at risk of haemorrhage following intramuscular injections.
Shake well before withdrawal and use. Thorough agitation at the time of administration is necessary to maintain suspension of the vaccine.
The vaccine should be used as supplied; no dilution or reconstitution is necessary. The full recommended dose of the vaccine should be used.
It is important to use a separate sterile syringe and needle for each individual patient to prevent transmission of hepatitis and other infectious agents from one person to another.
Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discolouration prior to administration. After thorough agitation, H-B-Vax II is a slightly opaque, white suspension. The immunisation regimen consists of three doses of vaccine given according to the following schedule. First dose: at elected date; second dose: one month later; third dose: six months after the first dose.
The volume of vaccine to be given on each occasion appears in Table 1. Please refer to table 1.
Revaccination.
The duration of protective effect of H-B-Vax II is unknown at present, and the need for booster doses is not yet defined. One 10 microgram dose of H-B-Vax II induced an anamnestic response in 94% of 31 healthy adults who had been vaccinated five to seven years previously with H-B-Vax II (Hepatitis B Vaccine).
Whenever revaccination or administration of a booster dose is appropriate, H-B-Vax II may be used (see Actions, Pharmacology).
Dosage for infants born of HBsAg positive mothers.
(See Actions, Pharmacology.)
Results from clinical studies indicate that administration of one 0.5 mL dose of Hepatitis B Immune Globulin at birth and three 5 microgram (0.5 mL) doses of H-B-Vax II, the first dose given within one week after birth, was 96% effective in preventing establishment of the chronic carrier state in infants born to HBsAg and HBeAg positive mothers. Testing for HBsAg and anti-HBs is recommended at 12 to 15 months to monitor the final success or failure of therapy. If HBsAg is not detectable, and anti-HBs is present, the child has been protected. The recommended treatment regimen for infants born of HBsAg positive mothers follows. Please refer to table 2.
*The first 0.5 mL dose of H-B-Vax II may be given at birth at the same time as Hepatitis B Immune Globulin, but should be administered in the opposite anterolateral thigh. This procedure may be preferable to ensure absorption of the vaccine.
Testing for HBsAg and anti-HBs is recommended at 12 to 15 months to monitor the final success or failure of therapy. If HBsAg is not detectable, and anti-HBs is present, therapy can be considered successful.
Known or presumed exposure to HBsAg.
There are no prospective studies directly testing the efficacy of a combination of Hepatitis B Immune Globulin (Human) and H-B-Vax II in preventing clinical hepatitis B following percutaneous, ocular or mucous membrane exposure to hepatitis B virus. However, since most persons with such exposure (e.g.
healthcare workers) are candidates for H-B-Vax II and since combined Hepatitis B Immune Globulin (Human) plus vaccine is more efficacious than Hepatitis B Immune Globulin (Human) alone in perinatal exposures, the following guidelines are recommended for persons who have been exposed to hepatitis B
virus (e.g. through percutaneous (needlestick), ocular or mucous membrane exposure to blood known or presumed to contain HBsAg; human bites by known or presumed HBsAg carriers, that penetrate the skin; or following intimate sexual contact with known or presumed HBsAg carriers).
Hepatitis B Immune Globulin (Human) (0.06 mL/kg) should be given intramuscularly as soon as possible after exposure and within 24 hours if possible. H-B-Vax II (see dosage recommendation) should be given intramuscularly at a separate site within seven days of exposure and second and third doses given one and six months, respectively, after the first dose.
Administration.
Withdraw the recommended dose from the vial using a sterile needle and syringe free of preservatives, antiseptics, and detergents.
Paediatric.
Vial, 5 microgram/0.5 mL: 1's, 10's.
Vial, 10 microgram/1 mL: 1's, 10's.

Indigenous peoples are particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, but they can also play a crucial role in stabilizing the climate. Though the 1997 Kyoto Protocol didn't include a single reference to indigenous peoples, the Paris Agreement– though not perfect – made some great strides.
five explicit references to indigenous peoples, their rights, and their traditional knowledge. These appear in the preambles of both the Paris Agreement and the Decision text, and in specific topic areas of the exchange of experiences and adaptation.
a reference to a topic important to indigenous peoples, non-carbon benefits in relation to Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+).
Importantly, the references to indigenous peoples in the preamble to the Paris Agreement, and repeated in the preamble to the Decision text, say that countries need to respect indigenous peoples' rights when taking action to address climate change. It's significant that this rights language is included in the preambles, as it ensures these rights will be part of the framing of the whole agreement and implementing decisions.
The Paris Agreement and its Decision texts contain important references to indigenous peoples' rights that can help drive change at the country levels, where it is most needed.
The other references to indigenous peoples discuss the need to include them in the exchange of knowledge, especially considering the topic of adaptation. As they are one of the more vulnerable groups, they will need access to more western knowledge to support their own indigenous knowledge about how to adapt to climate change and protect their livelihoods. Additionally, the Paris Agreement recognizes indigenous peoples' "traditional knowledge" as an asset for helping themselves – and their neighbors – adapt.
Indigenous peoples for many years advocated strongly for the consideration of non-carbon benefits as a part of REDD+, including through a number of formal submissions to the process. The inclusion of explicit language in the REDD+ article to promote non-carbon benefits reflects their efforts and the importance of the topic.
The Paris Agreement and its Decision text aren't perfect, and though some may have wished to see a greater number of specific references to these rights in the text, the Paris outcome was kept intentionally broad so it could be applicable to nearly 200 countries.
Regardless, we see important references to indigenous peoples' rights in the Paris Agreement and its Decision texts that, together with other international human rights instruments, can now be leveraged to drive change at the country levels, where it is most needed. That is the challenge in the years to come – to ensure indigenous peoples and their rights are adequately represented and respected in countries' policies and actions they take to implement the Paris Agreement.

While I appreciate Chris Meyer's synopsis, it paints an optimistic picture,and that picture may give us a wrong impression about the state of Post Paris indigenous and climate.
The legally enforceable portion of the Paris Agreement, the operational section, excludes indigenous references. However the historic development here is twofold. One change is from indigenous not being considered even as objects of climate change impacts as peoples but rather as unidentified "minorities" depending on the diplomatic references in their region, to now being considered as objects of such impacts. The fact that they were included in the pre-amble officially recognizes that, but only that. That is a historical accomplishment, but it has little legal impact on adaptation policy in international organizations or at national levels. Contrary to the analysis offered in this article, without international instruments protecting indigenous rights, national governments have little to no political incentive to now include them in adaptation planning. That is unfortunately – wishful thinking.
Certainly in Latin America that is the standard, with a few exceptions. Superficial, local consultations after key framework planning documents are already written, is only then carried out, if at all. That level of inclusion merely serves to whitewash their substantive exclusion, but makes it palatable to outside observers and NGO's that make money off of advocating for vulnerable groups.
That is because national governments of developing countries will fund national adaptation through international adaptation finance mechanisms, and if those international mechanisms and their sponsors institutions (GEF, the Green Fund, etc.) do not establish international standards for indigenous' input at the policy level, there will be only weak procedural inclusion of indigenous representation, and even that is often jettisoned when it is outside the normal practice of national ministries that deal with land use issues.
Peru had that experience in the Amazon basin, having to pull in the UNDP to open a line of communication to the indigenous organizations in their own country, after their exclusionary stake holder process failed. It failed to remember – that indigenous peoples live there.
The second idea, that exchanges of climate and land use knowledge will happen, is a desirable goal for implementing effective adaptation from indigenous lessons that their knowledge can have on the larger societies, especially rural ones. However that has not been developed beyond ad hoc attempts to be inclusive; and usually more "inclusive" the closer that national delegates get in the run up to the looming COP meetings – so as not to be embarrassed by the lack of actual "inclusion" in policy formation. Then a few paragraphs can mention indigenous as vulnerable groups. Presumably, vulnerable groups that have be taken care of by national governments; not that their indigenous knowledge should also inform adaptation policy and its finance for prioritization of adaptation needed across sectors.
The UNFCCC has not yet established a permanent and differentiated regional mechanism to both engage indigenous at the level of scientific knowledge, nor have the COP agreements provided for such a fora in their negotiations, which are political agreements- not climate change research efforts; political agreements informed by science that excludes indigenous knowledge necessarily then excludes indigenous then in national adaptation planning, because their knowledge is not taken into consideration for balancing their own subsistence and market economy activities, to name just one challenge.
That should be the goal, to create a political representation in the process moving forward, and not expecting indigenous communities to make gargantuan efforts at calling out their national governments and then the international organizations about their exclusive practices, each and every COP. Indigenous have the least resources of any sector to even be there in the first place.
Environmental groups have not yet created the necessary tools to advocate for a larger and more systemic inclusion of indigenous for the obvious reason that indigenous peoples are extremely diverse and complex, not unlike the natural areas they inhabit, and environmental organizations are themselves outside the decision making structure of the UNFCCC. Their influence can be improved, but articles such as this miss the boat. There are over 300 million indigenous worldwide, roughly the same population as the United States.
How long can the world afford to be ignorant about indigenous knowledge in terms of climate and land use, and then how long will it take to incorporate practical solutions for adaptation?
One clue can be found in the history, insightfully researched in Charles Mann's book, 1493 about the establishment of Jamestown as a colony by English settlers. I encourage the EDF to work harder, to invite indigenous networks of advocacy to their own table and make a commitment, otherwise, the people who have cared for the environment long before any of us messed it up – will continue to be excluded. Of course it was never a pristine environment in the first place, it was the environment that other peoples lived in, learned from, and respected.

The city of Paso Robles is located in San Luis Obispo County in Central California. Famous for the 200 plus wineries covering over 40,000 acres of planted vineyards, there is a lot more to this unique region than the fermented grapes corked up in a bottle.
The full name of Paso Robles "El Paso de Robles" in English means "The Pass of the Oaks"… which is the essence of this article… passing through to the wonders that surround this enchanted enclave.
Paso, as the locals call it, is a relatively small, farming/ranching town with a population of about 30,000 people and is known for wineries, almond orchards and the production of olive oil, capped off with hot springs which was Paso's original tourist attraction.
Paso Robles has a vibrant downtown area consisting of exceptional dining options, and eclectic shopping choices with something for everyone's taste and imaginations. The "Main Street Association" is a very good source of information (PasoRoblesDowntown.Org) with their motto being "Where Everybody Comes Together"… and it is true.
As in most travel experiences, it is the journey and the unexpected that leaves an indelible imprint in your memory. In Paso's case it is the sometime pungent smell of sulfur that adds a little something extra.
The abundant thermal waters are known for their therapeutic and rejuvenate benefits and thus were a major attraction in the very early days of the town's history.
The Salinan Indian Tribe was the original settlers of this area. In the early 1700s they introduced the newly arrived Franciscan Priests to the beneficial effects of the water. The Franciscan's subsequently introduced the locals to farming, cattle ranching and …. wait for it…. wine making and vineyard cultivation.
Hot sulfur springs still flow through Paso Robles and are open to the public in three locations: River Oaks Hot Springs Spa, Franklin Hot Springs as well as in select guest rooms at the Paso Robles Inn.
The Vina Robles Vineyards and Winery has been in the wine business since 1996 and began hosting an annual Summer Concert Series in 2007. The combination of live music and wine under the stars proved so successful that they decided to create the Vina Robles Amphitheatre in 2013.
The Amphitheatre is one of the largest outdoor venues for arts and entertainment in San Luis Obispo County and offers a concert season that runs from April through November and features top tier acts from around the world and in all genres. The legendary Tony Bennett performing on a warm, starry summer night… 100 feet away… was a magical experience.
There is not a "bad" seat in the house and all at reasonable prices to accommodate everyone's budget… general admission lawn seating to VIP boxes…. all within 150 feet from the stage.
When visiting Paso a must-see stop is on the east side of the 101 Highway. A group of entrepreneurial people created a collection of industrial warehouses known as Tin City.
Their objective is to showcase their unique creations such as small-production wineries, breweries, distilleries, cider houses and an amazing pasta factory and their new restaurant. You can watch them make the pasta as you enjoy eating their excellent entrees.
Parking is plentiful and you can easily walk the entire cluster of buildings set up in a two or three block radius. Of course a stop along the way may include an outdoor beer garden serenaded by a local band as you partake in a unique tasting experience.
Located on U.S. 101 and midway between Los Angeles and San Francisco this area makes a great destination for a road trip.
Paso is a strategic jumping off point with easy access to the scenery that made this part of California famous including the unique towns and villages such as Morro Bay, Cambria, Harmony, Cayucos and San Simeon… home of the magnificent Hearst Castle.
California Department of Parks and Recreation manages more than 280 park units and this palatial property is considered to be one of the crown jewels in the system.
In 1919, Newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst, along with architect Julia Morgan initiated the plans for the construction of a hilltop house on his ranch at San Simeon. With vast sums of money at his disposal, the "house" became a Mediterranean Revival estate which he named "La Cuesta Encantada" (The Enchanted Hill).
The history is also enchanting but by 1947 the project was still not finished. Unfortunately Hearst's health became an issue and he had to leave his house… all 165 rooms on 123 acres of prime coastline property with gardens, terraces, and pools… but the house became a full-fledged castle all the same.
Driving five miles north from Hearst Castle, along one of California's most scenic vistas leads you to a very unique destination and experience… the Piedras Blancas Elephant Seal Rookery.
The rookery spreads over 6 miles of shoreline with ample parking and easy access, as well as docents to provide information.
The viewing areas are open every day of the year, are wheelchair accessible, and free. No reservations required.
A side note… "Friends of the Elephant Seal" is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating people about elephant seals and other marine life and teaching stewardship for the ocean off the central coast of California. It is a cooperating association with California State Parks.
Please feel free to visit their website… http://www.elephantseal.org… to learn more and actually view the e-sealcam for live beach action.
Paso is known for their wine and exceptional cuisine options, but in reality after a few tasting sessions your taste buds go flat. To get more out of your visit one should explore the many options of short day trips and experience a part of California that made the Central Coast famous.
